In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The invention provides a medicinal bottle washing device, which can continuously wash medicines, has high washing quality and low pollution degree of medicine bottles.

[0031] Figure 1-Figure 5 The structure diagram of a pharmaceutical bottle washing device according to the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 5 In this embodiment, a medicinal bottle washing device includes a conveying mechanism 100, a cleaning drive device 200, a cleaning mechanism 300, a conveying track 400 and a rotating track 500.

[0032] The conveying mechanism 100 is used to convey the medicine bottle placed thereon to the end along a preset conveying direction. In the present embodiment, the conveying mechanism 100 may be a chain conveyor or a belt conveyor commonly found on the market.

[0033] The cleaning drive device 200 is used to drive the cleaning mechanism 300 to move up and down and the turntable 421 in the cylinder 420 on the conveying track 400 to rotate. Specifically, the cleaning drive device 200 includes a shell 210 and a driving assembly having an installation chamber and a cleaning chamber. The driving components include a driving motor 220 arranged at the bottom of the installation chamber, a vertical rotating shaft 230 that is meshed with the end of the output shaft of the driving motor 220 through a gear and extends to the top of the shell 210, a horizontal rotating shaft 240 that is horizontally arranged in the installation chamber and connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 220 through a conveyor belt, and a rotating driving shaft 250 that is horizontally arranged in the cleaning chamber and has a second gear 251 at one end that is meshed with the first gear 241 at the tail end of the horizontal rotating shaft 240. The outer wall of the rotating driving shaft 250 has a cam 252. During specific use, the driving motor 220 works to drive its output shaft to rotate. The output shaft of the driving motor 220 drives the vertical rotating shaft 230 to rotate, and drives the horizontal rotating shaft 240 to rotate through the conveyor belt. Since the first gear 241 at the tail end of the horizontal rotating shaft 240 and the second gear 251 on the rotating driving shaft 250 are engaged, when the horizontal rotating shaft 240 rotates, the rotating driving shaft 250 rotates together, thereby driving the cam 252 to rotate.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 300 is arranged in the cleaning chamber, driven by the driving assembly to reciprocate up and down, and sprays the jet cleaning liquid upward through the top of the housing 210. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 300 includes a limiting cylinder 310 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber, a nozzle 320 with multiple nozzles 321 on the top and a supporting wheel rod 322 symmetrically arranged at the bottom, a flexible delivery pipe 330 connected to the nozzle 320 at one end, and a high-pressure liquid storage cylinder 340 connected to the other end of the nozzle 320 and fixed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber; and the supporting wheel rod 322 passes through the limiting cylinder 310, and the roller at the bottom is cut with the outer wall of the cam 252. When the rotary drive shaft 250 rotates, the roller at the bottom of the supporting wheel rod 322 is cut with the outer wall of the cam 252, and the wheel rod 322 is limited by the limiting cylinder 310 and can only move up and down. Therefore, when the cam 252 rotates, the nozzle 320 is driven to rise and fall through the supporting wheel rod 322.

[0035] The conveying track 400 is used to transport the inverted medicine bottles conveyed thereon to the tail end after being cleaned by a jet of cleaning liquid passing through the top of the shell 210. Specifically, the conveying track 400 includes a front track 410, a cylinder 420 connected to the end of the front track 410, and a tail track 430 connected to the inside of the cylinder 420. The cylinder 420 has a turntable 421 with a bottom connected to the vertical rotating shaft 230. The distance between the outer wall of the turntable 421 and the inner wall of the cylinder is half the diameter of the medicine bottle, and the outer wall of the turntable 421 also has a semicircular notch, and the diameter of the semicircular notch is equal to the diameter of the medicine bottle. When the medicine bottle enters the front track 410, the front track 410 drives the medicine bottle to move. When passing directly above the cleaning chamber, the cleaning mechanism 300 sprays a jet of cleaning liquid upward through the top of the shell 210 to clean the medicine bottle. The cleaned medicine bottle is then transported to the entrance of the cylinder 420 by the front track 410. When the semicircular groove of the turntable 421 rotates to align with the entrance of the cylinder 420, the medicine bottle is inserted into the semicircular groove and is driven by the rotation of the turntable 421 to be transported to the tail track 430, and is continued to be transported and discharged through the tail track 430.

[0036] The two ends of the rotating guide rail 500 are rotatably connected to the conveying mechanism 100 and the head end of the conveying track 400, respectively. The medicine bottle at the tail end of the conveying mechanism 100 is rotated 180 degrees and then slides onto the conveying track 400. Under the action of the rotating guide rail 500, the medicine bottle's own gravity and the initial velocity given by the conveying mechanism 100, the medicine bottle flips downward along the rotating guide rail 500, and when it moves to the conveying track 400, it just flips 180 degrees, and the mouth of the medicine bottle is vertically downward. In this embodiment, the rotating guide rail 500 is formed by a plurality of steel bars spirally wrapped around.

[0037] Combination Figure 1-Figure 5, a medicinal bottle washing device in this embodiment has the following specific usage process: the staff puts the medicine bottle on the conveying mechanism 100, and the conveying mechanism 100 drives the medicine bottle forward. When it is conveyed to the rotating guide rail 500, under the action of the rotating guide rail 500 and the gravity of the medicine bottle itself and the initial velocity given by the conveying mechanism 100, the medicine bottle flips downward along the rotating guide rail 500, and just flips 180° when it moves to the conveying track 400. At this time, the mouth of the medicine bottle enters the conveying track 400 vertically downward, and the conveying track 400 continues to drive the inverted medicine bottle forward. When passing the top of the cleaning chamber, the cleaning mechanism 300 sprays the jet cleaning liquid that passes through the top of the shell 210 upward and enters the medicine bottle to clean the medicine bottle. Then the medicine bottle continues to be conveyed by the conveying track 400 and is discharged from the tail end, and can be taken out and stored.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
