Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic container cleaning technology, and in particular to a plastic container cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The subject of this case is a plastic container cleaning equipment, used to clean plastic containers. Through specific central and flipping components, it achieves efficient and comprehensive cleaning of plastic containers, meeting the cleaning needs after plastic container production and helping to ensure the quality of subsequent use or packaging of plastic containers.

[0003] Existing similar equipment for cleaning objects generally includes a support frame with a transmission mechanism, such as a conveyor belt, for transporting objects to be cleaned. It is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism, such as a bracket with nozzles connected to a water source. Water is pumped to the nozzles, and the water jets wash the objects on the conveyor belt. Some equipment also has a simple clamping structure, which uses a cylinder to push the grippers to initially fix the objects for cleaning operations. The basic cleaning process of objects is completed by the combination of transmission, water spraying, and simple clamping structures.

[0004] When cleaning plastic containers, the brushes cannot automatically center themselves. The lack of an effective centering transmission structure prevents the stable and synchronous movement of objects to the appropriate cleaning center position. This causes object displacement during cleaning, affecting the uniformity of cleaning solution coverage and the comprehensive contact of the cleaning brushes. Consequently, the cleaning effect varies significantly across different areas, hindering efficient and consistent cleaning. Especially in scenarios requiring multi-directional cleaning, poor centering can interfere with subsequent cleaning actions such as flipping, reducing overall cleaning quality and efficiency. Therefore, a plastic container cleaning device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a plastic container cleaning device, including a base 3. The base 3 provides a stable installation foundation for the entire cleaning device, ensuring that the components maintain relative positional stability during operation. A cover 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3. The cover 1 is used to protect the central component inside, forming a relatively enclosed cleaning operation space, while protecting the central component from external environmental interference. A base 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 3. The base 6 is used to install a flipping component, ensuring that the flipping component has sufficient structural stability when clamping and flipping the plastic container. A central component is provided inside the cover 1. The central component is used to adjust the plastic container to the center position after it enters the cleaning area, ensuring that the subsequent brush 11... The cleaning components can precisely act on the container surface, improving cleaning uniformity. A flipping assembly is located on the top of the base 6. The central assembly includes a support frame 7, which is used to install components such as sliding columns 8 and support plates 12. This provides a mounting framework for the various moving structures of the central assembly, ensuring the positional stability and coordination of each component during operation. One side of the support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the machine cover 1. Multiple sliding columns 8 are fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 7. The sliding columns 8 provide a guide trajectory for the sliding block 9, restricting the sliding block 9 to move only along the axis of the sliding columns 8. This ensures that the sliding plate 10 drives the brush 11 to smoothly approach or move away from the plastic container. Sliding blocks 9 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the multiple sliding columns 8, and the sliding blocks 9 move with the sliding plate... The drive mechanism 16 slides along the sliding column 8, which in turn drives the sliding plate 10 to move synchronously. This allows the brush 11 to adjust its position according to the container size, ensuring full contact with the container surface. The sliding plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 9. The movement of the sliding plate 10 causes the brush 11 to contact the plastic container surface. The brush 11, through friction with the container surface, removes adhering dirt from the outer wall of the container. Multiple push columns 17 are fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 10. These push columns 17 transmit the movement of the sliding plate 16 to the sliding plate 10, achieving synchronous movement between the push columns 17 and the brush 11. This not only centers the container but also performs initial cleaning simultaneously. Each of the moving columns 17 has a sliding plate 16 fixedly connected to one end. The sliding plate 16 moves under the action of the air pump 18 and the drive assembly. By moving the sliding plates 16 closer or further apart, the pushing column 17 applies a pushing force to the plastic container from multiple directions, adjusting the container to the center position. One of the sliding plates 16 has an air pump 18 fixedly connected to one side. The air pump 18 provides power for the movement of the sliding plate 16 and drives the sliding plate 16 to move in a set direction through telescopic movement. The drive assembly ensures that multiple sliding plates 16 move synchronously, improving the stability of the centering position. The output end of the air pump 18 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the sliding plates 16. The drive assembly is provided on one side of the sliding plate 16.The drive assembly includes a support plate 12, which is used to mount a connecting column 15, providing a mounting support base for gear 14 and rack 13, ensuring the positional stability of the gear transmission structure during operation. The bottom of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 7, and the connecting column 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 12. The connecting column 15 provides a rotation axis for gear 14, restricts the radial displacement of gear 14, and ensures that gear 14 can stably mesh with multiple racks 13. Gear 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 15. When gear 14 rotates... Multiple racks 13 move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby causing the connected sliding plates 16 to move closer or further away, achieving symmetrical force application of the push column 17 to the container from both sides. Multiple racks 13 are slidably connected to one side of the support plate 12. The racks 13 are used to convert the rotational motion of the gear 14 into its own linear motion, driving the sliding plates 16 to move, ensuring the consistency of the movement of the multiple sliding plates 16, and ensuring that the container is accurately pushed to the center position. The gear 14 meshes with the multiple racks 13, and the multiple racks 13 are all fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plates 16.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The flipping assembly includes a connecting plate 19 and an air pump 21. The connecting plate 19 is used to mount the connecting column 26, providing a support point for the rotation of the connecting column 26 and ensuring its stability and reliability during rotation. One side of the connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 6. The air pump 21 is located at the top of the base 6 and provides power for the flipping action. The extension and retraction of the output end drives the movement of subsequent related components, realizing the flipping of the plastic container. A fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 21. The fixing block 22 is used to connect the output end of the air pump 21 and the slider 23, transmitting the power of the air pump 21 to the slider 23, causing the slider 23 to move with the extension and retraction of the output end of the air pump 21. The slider 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 22. Block 23 slides along sliding post 20 under the drive of fixed block 22, simultaneously driving rack 24 to move synchronously, providing power for the rotation of gear 25. Sliding post 20 is slidably connected to one side of slider 23, providing guidance for the sliding of slider 23 and ensuring that slider 23 can only move along the axis of sliding post 20, ensuring that rack 24 and gear 25 are always meshed. The bottom of sliding post 20 is fixedly connected to the top of base 6, and rack 24 is fixedly connected to the top of slider 23. Rack 24 moves with slider 23, and through meshing with gear 25, linear motion is converted into rotational motion of gear 25. Connecting post 26 is rotatably connected to one side of connecting plate 19, and connecting post 26 is used for fixing... The fixed support frame 27 and gear 25 rotate under the drive of gear 25, thereby causing the support frame 27 and the clamped plastic container to rotate. Gear 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of connecting column 26. Gear 25 meshes with rack 24, converting the linear motion of rack 24 into its own rotational motion, thereby driving connecting column 26 to rotate. Rack 24 meshes with gear 25. Multiple support frames 27 are fixedly connected to the side wall of connecting column 26. Support frames 27 are used to install components such as air pump 38 and sliding frame 29, providing a mounting carrier for the clamping structure and ensuring the stability of the clamping action. Air pump 38 is installed inside the support frame 27. Air pump 38 provides power for the clamping action of clamping block 33 through the extension and retraction of the output end. The connecting column 31 moves, thereby opening and closing the clamping block 33. The output end of the air pump 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 31, which connects the output end of the air pump 28 to the connecting bracket 32, transmitting power from the air pump 28 to the connecting bracket 32, causing the connecting bracket 32 ​​to move the clamping block 33. Multiple connecting brackets 32 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting column 31. The connecting brackets 32 connect the connecting column 31 and the clamping block 33, rotating under the influence of the connecting column 31, thereby causing the clamping block 33 to perform clamping or releasing actions. A clamping block 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting bracket 32, directly contacting and clamping the plastic container. Through the cooperation of multiple clamping blocks 33, the plastic container is firmly fixed, preventing it from falling during the flipping process.A sliding column 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 33. The sliding column 30 slides within the sliding frame 29, providing guidance for the movement of the clamping block 33 and ensuring a stable movement trajectory and precise clamping action. The sliding frame 29 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 30, limiting the sliding direction of the sliding column 30 and ensuring that the clamping block 33 maintains the correct posture during movement, thus improving clamping stability. A conveyor belt 4 is installed on the top of the base 3. The conveyor belt 4 is used to transport plastic containers, conveying the plastic containers to be cleaned to the central component for positioning and cleaning, and then conveying the cleaned plastic containers to the support platform 5, realizing automated transmission and improving work efficiency. A support platform 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 3, providing temporary storage space for the cleaned plastic containers for convenient subsequent processing.

[0036] Working principle: The plastic container to be cleaned is fed into the machine housing 1 by the conveyor belt 4. The air pump 18 starts, pushing the sliding plate 16 to move, which drives multiple racks 13 and gears 14 to rotate, causing the push columns 17 to move towards the center synchronously, achieving automatic centering and positioning of the container. At the same time, the brush 11 slides along the sliding column 8 via the slider 9 to adjust to the appropriate position, ensuring that it can closely adhere to the inner wall of the container during cleaning. After positioning is completed, the air pump 21 pushes the slider 23 to move along the sliding column 20, driving the rack 24 to rotate and the gear 25 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting column 22 to move towards the center. 6. Rotation causes the support frame 27, fixed on the connecting column 26, to flip, inverting the container. The air pump 3 28 drives the connecting column 31, causing the clamping block 33 to slide along the sliding frame 29, ensuring the container remains stably clamped during the flipping process. After flipping, a second spray or brushing can be performed to ensure thorough cleaning inside and outside the container. After cleaning, each air pump resets, the clamping mechanism releases, and the container is sent out by the conveyor belt 4, completing the cleaning process. This equipment achieves automated cleaning through mechanical linkage and pneumatic control, and is suitable for plastic containers of different sizes, improving cleaning efficiency and consistency.
