Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass bottle production, in particular to a cleaning device for glass bottle processing. Background Art

[0002] Due to the production capacity, functional limitations and price differences of traditional ceramic Mao-shaped bottles, the use of glass deep-processed Mao-shaped bottles is gradually replacing ceramic bottles in the mid- and low-end markets of Mao-flavor liquor. When using cost-saving glass bottles, in order to achieve the purpose of beautiful product appearance and light blocking, a series of processing is required on the outer surface during the production of the wine bottles to form opaque glass bottles with rich surface colors.

[0003] The outer surface processing of glass bottles includes deep processing techniques such as spraying, decals, silk screen printing, hot stamping, high-temperature thermal transfer, etc. Each process can be freely combined according to the actual needs of the product to ultimately form the desired product decoration effect. Before spraying the semi-finished glass bottles, they need to be decontaminated, then sent to the baking equipment for drying, and then sprayed in the subsequent process.

[0004] In actual production, the thermoforming production of glass bottles requires the application of mold oil, which will remain on the surface of the glass bottles. Secondly, during the transportation of glass bottles, packaging paper debris and fibers will adhere to the surface of the glass bottles or fall into the bottles. At the same time, before the spraying process, the glass bottles are usually manually loaded onto the conveyor belt, and the sweat and impurities carried by the human body contaminate the glass bottles. Therefore, during production, pollutants are easily introduced by the human body, the adhesion of the workpiece itself, the wear of the equipment, the environment of the working area, etc. The pollutants and impurities protrude from the surface of the glass bottle, affecting the smoothness and glossiness of the paint film surface, resulting in the formation of shrinkage holes on the coating surface, that is, a circular depression on the coating surface with arched edges or shrinking into a spherical droplet shape, resulting in poor glass bottle production and a high defective rate in the spraying process. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a cleaning device for glass bottle processing to solve the problem of poor production and high defective rate caused by pollutants before glass bottles are sprayed.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a cleaning device for glass bottle processing, comprising a conveyor belt and a plurality of toolings on the conveyor belt for vertically receiving glass bottles, the conveyor belt is arranged in a horizontal direction, a cleaning chamber and a drying chamber for the conveyor belt to pass through are arranged in sequence along the forward direction of the conveyor belt, the inner wall of the cleaning chamber is provided with a plurality of water outlet devices for cleaning the outer wall of the glass bottle, the plurality of water outlet devices are arranged oppositely along the radial direction of the glass bottle, a rollable non-woven fabric is arranged in the drying chamber, and the surface of the non-woven fabric is in contact with the side wall of the glass bottle;

[0007] The tooling includes a female quick connector communicating with external sterile water, a male quick connector, and a spray head. Along the advancing direction of the conveyor belt, several mounting holes through which the female quick connector can pass are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt. The male quick connector is coaxially connected to the mounting hole, and the spray head is vertically connected to the male quick connector. The female quick connector with a spring at the bottom can move up and down under the conveyor belt. The bottom end of the male quick connector is a conical surface, and the side wall of the top of the female quick connector is inclined. When the conveyor belt moves, the male quick connector and the female quick connector are separated.

[0008] A slidable block that can move up and down is slidably connected inside the spray head. A spring is connected between the top of the slidable block and the spray head. The slidable block and the side wall of the spray head are clamped by spring balls. A plurality of radial through holes distributed circumferentially are opened on the side wall of the spray head.

[0009] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows:

[0010] The mouth of the glass bottle is sleeved downward on the male quick connector on the conveyor belt. When the male quick connector moves intermittently with the conveyor belt to above the female quick connector, the female quick connector moves upward through the mounting hole under the action of the bottom spring. At the same time, the female head and the male head are docked, and the water in the quick connector is connected. The water flows into the spray head and sprays out from the through holes of the spray head to wash the mouth of the glass bottle. After the water accumulates, the slidable block is pushed by the water flow to break away from the spring ball and move upward, and the water flows out from the upper end of the spray head to wash the inside of the glass bottle. After being washed, the glass bottle moves forward with the conveyor belt. The conical surface at the bottom end of the male head presses down the upper end of the female head, so that the female head moves downward and is located under the conveyor belt. After the glass bottle reaches the cleaning bin, the water outlet device on the inner wall of the cleaning bin flushes and cleans the surface of the glass bottle. The glass bottle rotates under the impact force of the water outlet device. The glass bottle moves to the drying bin and enters between the sponges. The non-woven fabric on the surface of the sponge that the glass bottle touches wipes the water stains on the surface clean, and the cleaning of the glass bottle is completed.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:

[0012] 1. The existing glass bottle cleaning device used before the spraying process generally only wipes the outer surface by hand with a cotton cloth. The debris and grease carried by the human body are likely to contaminate the surface of the glass bottle, and it is impossible to completely remove dust from the glass bottle well, resulting in poor and unqualified subsequent painting quality. Moreover, the dust carried by the glass bottle itself remains inside the bottle. After the bottle rotates during the painting process, the dust is easily emitted from the bottle and contaminates the unpainted and uncured painting surface. This solution uses a quick connector to connect the spray head, which can communicate with the external water source while fixing the glass bottle as a tooling to clean the internal dust of the glass bottle, and a water outlet device for cleaning the outside of the glass bottle is provided in the subsequent cleaning bin.

[0013] 2. The male quick connector at the bottle mouth adopts a structure of a spring ball and a slider. Since there is less contact between the inside of the bottle and external dust pollutants, and the bottle mouth is more likely to come into contact with external dust and pollutants. The slider blocks above the bottle mouth. When the water pressure just flushes, it blocks the water flow. The large water flow impact force and high pressure can effectively clean the stains at the bottle mouth. When the slider is not limited by the spring ball, the water flow flows upward. There are many through holes at the upper end of the male quick connector, which divides the water flow into multiple beams to generally clean the inside of the bottle body.

[0014] 3. The water outlet devices in the cleaning chamber are arranged oppositely along the radial direction of the bottle body. While flushing the bottle body, the water power rotates the bottle body to complete the cleaning of the entire circumference of the outside of the bottle body. The rotating bottle body enables the internal nozzle to complete the flushing of the entire circumference of the inner wall of the bottle body.

[0015] 4. The non-woven fabric in the drying chamber is in contact with the outside of the bottle body, wipes off the moisture on the bottle body, and replaces the clean cloth surface by rolling up the non-woven fabric to ensure the dryness and surface cleanliness of the glass bottle.

[0016] Further, a pair of baffles are vertically arranged in the cleaning chamber. The baffles are parallel to the moving direction of the conveyor belt and are located on both sides of the glass bottle. The baffles are provided to prevent the water flow flushing the bottle body from splashing outside.

[0017] Further, a pair of water outlet devices are respectively installed on the baffles. The water flow direction of the water outlet device has an acute angle with the tangent line of the bottle body. The non-perpendicular water flow direction to the cross-section of the bottle body is used to flush the glass bottle to cause the glass bottle to rotate.

[0018] Further, one end of the baffle away from the water outlet device bends towards the glass bottle and forms a notch that can block the splashing water flow. The notch is used to collect the splashing water flow and prevent the splashing water flow from flushing on the bottle body surface again.

[0019] Further, a sponge block is provided between the retractable non-woven fabric and the inner wall of the drying chamber behind it. The sponge block provides rear support for the non-woven fabric, increases the friction force of the contact surface between the non-woven fabric and the bottle body, and improves the wiping effect.

[0020] Further, a nozzle for blowing air into the inside of the bottle body is vertically connected in the drying chamber. The nozzle is communicated with an external hot air source. The inside of the bottle body is dried by hot air to increase the dryness of the bottle body.

[0021] Further, the conveyor belt is a screen structure. The conveyor belt with a screen surface facilitates the discharge of the water flow after flushing.

[0022] Further, the outside of the entire conveyor belt is covered with a housing. The airtightness of the entire device is improved, and the introduction of external environmental pollutants is reduced.

[0023] Further, both ends of the non-woven fabric are wound outside the drying chamber. The cleanliness of the unused non-woven fabric is increased, and at the same time, the used non-woven fabric is isolated from the internal space of the drying chamber.

[0024] Further, the contact surface shape between the sponge and the glass bottle fits the outer wall of the glass bottle, and the sponge is soaked with alcohol. Using a sponge wetted with alcohol facilitates the disinfection of the glass bottle surface when the non-woven fabric absorbs water, and can further clean the glass bottle.

[0030] The following is a further detailed description through specific embodiments:

[0031] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the specification include: conveyor belt 1, glass bottle 2, cleaning bin 3, water outlet device 31, baffle 32, drying bin 4, non-woven fabric 41, sponge 42, air nozzle 43, female quick connector 51, sliding sleeve 511, top bead 512, clamping plate 513, second spring 514, housing 515, support rod 516, male quick connector 52, spray head 53, spring ball 54, transverse through hole 55, slider 56.

[0032] As shown Figure 1 in the figure, the conveyor belt 1 moves forward and first enters the cleaning bin 3 and then enters the drying bin 4, taking this direction as the reference direction.

[0033] The embodiment is basically as shown Figure 1 in the attached Figure 4 figure to

[0034] The conveyor belt 1 is horizontally erected on the ground. The outer side of the conveyor belt 1 is sealed with an outer shell. The surface of the conveyor belt 1 is provided with circular mounting holes at intervals of 50 cm along its forward direction. A quick connector male head 52 is vertically welded at the corresponding position of the mounting hole above the conveyor belt 1. A nozzle 53 is coaxially welded above the male head. The length of the nozzle 53 can extend to below the top of the glass bottle 2. A slider 56 is slidably connected inside the nozzle 53. A spring is connected between the slider 56 and the top of the nozzle 53. In the natural state of the spring, the slider 56 is clamped with a spring ball 54 embedded in the side wall of the nozzle 53, and when the slider 56 is clamped, two transverse through holes 55 are opened in the circumferential direction on the side wall of the nozzle 53 below the slider 56. The cleaning bin 3 and the drying bin 4 are installed in sequence in the moving direction of the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 first passes through the cleaning bin 3 and then enters the drying bin 4. The bottom surface of the cleaning bin 3 is vertically connected to the quick connector female head 51 through a spring, and a quick connector female head 51 is installed at intervals of 50 cm and 100 cm below the conveyor belt 1 before the cleaning bin 3. The three quick connector female heads 51 are all installed vertically, and springs are connected to the lower ends.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the male head is conical, the top side wall of the female head is in contact with the conical surface of the male head, and the top of the female head is retracted inward toward the central axis to form a conical surface of the outer wall. When the conveyor belt 1 intermittently moves so that the male head moves above the female head, the spring below the female head loses its upper limiting effect, and under the elastic force of restoring deformation, the female head is pushed through the mounting hole to dock with the male head, so that the female head connected to an external water source is connected to the male head, and the water flow connects the nozzle 53 and presses upward against the bottom of the slider 56. When the water flow pressure is less than the critical value of the spring ball 54 disengaging from the clamping point, the water flow flows out from the horizontal through hole 55 to flush the bottle mouth of the glass bottle 2. When the water flow pressure reaches the critical value of the spring ball 54 disengaging from the clamping point, the spring ball 54 is compressed on the inner wall of the nozzle 53, and the slider 56 slides upward, and the water flow is ejected outward from the side wall through hole above the nozzle 53 to flush the inner wall of the glass bottle 2.

[0036] When the male and female heads are separated, the conveyor belt 1 moves forward to drive the conical surface of the male head to press down the female head, which is separated from the mounting hole and compressed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 1 under the downward pressure of the conveyor belt 1 at the rear. The female head of the quick connector is closed under its own self-locking function.

[0037] Vertical baffles 32 are fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 in the cleaning chamber 3, and a water outlet device 31 facing the bottle body is installed at one end of the baffle 32. The water spraying path of the water outlet device 31 has an angle of 75° with the cross-section of the outer wall of the glass bottle 2. A notch extends from the other end of the baffle 32, and the notch is bent in the direction of the water flow splashed after the water is sprayed on the surface of the glass bottle 2, forming a space to accommodate the splashing water flow, thereby preventing the splashing water flow from splashing back on the surface of the glass bottle 2 again.

[0038] Below the conveyor belt 1 in the drying bin 4, a nozzle 43 for blowing air into the bottle is vertically installed. The nozzle 43 is connected to an external heat source. On both sides of the conveyor belt 1 in the drying bin 4, non-woven fabrics 41 are installed in parallel. Both ends of the non-woven fabric 41 pass through the side wall of the drying bin 4 and are wound on a reel. The reel can be driven to rotate by an external motor. A sponge 42 is installed between the non-woven fabric 41 and the inner wall of the drying bin 4. The distance between the surfaces of the sponge 42 is less than 1 cm of the diameter of the wine bottle. The outer surface of the glass bottle 2 that moves into the drying bin 4 through the conveyor belt 1 touches the non-woven fabric 41, and is driven to rotate by the frictional force under the extrusion of the sponges 42 on both sides. The water on the outer wall of the glass bottle 2 is absorbed by the non-woven fabric 41. At the same time, the sponge 42 is soaked with alcohol. The non-woven fabric 41 that absorbs water wipes the outer wall of the glass bottle 2, further disinfecting and cleaning the glass bottle 2.

[0039] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0040] The mouth of the glass bottle 2 to be cleaned is sleeved downward outside the nozzle 53. The glass bottle 2 moves forward with the conveyor belt 1 to the first female quick connector 51. The male quick connector 52 is connected to the female quick connector 51. Water flows through the female connector into the male connector and then to the nozzle 53. The water flow is blocked by the slider 56 and sprays out from the horizontal through hole 55 below the slider 56 to clean the inner wall of the mouth of the glass bottle 2. When the water flow pressure reaches the critical point where the spring ball 54 catches the slider 56, the spring ball 54 retracts inward into the inner wall of the nozzle 53. At the same time, the slider 56 moves upward under the scouring of the water flow. The water flow circulates through the entire nozzle 53 and scours the inner wall of the bottle body of the glass bottle 2 under the action of the nozzle 53. The conveyor belt 1 continues to move forward, driving the conical surface below the male quick connector 52 to press down on the upper end surface of the female head. The female quick connector 51 is pressed downward and disengaged from the installation hole, and is pressed under the conveyor belt 1 by the moving conveyor belt 1 until the next installation hole arrives.

[0041] The glass bottle 2 with the inner wall cleaned moves to the cleaning bin 3 with the conveyor belt 1, and the male quick connector 52 that receives the glass bottle 2 is connected to the female quick connector 51 in the cleaning bin 3. The water outlet device 31 in the cleaning bin 3 flushes water from the diagonal of the cleaning bin 3 to the outer wall of the glass bottle 2. The bottle body rotates under the drive of the water flow, so that the entire outer wall of the bottle body is washed clean.

[0042] The glass bottle 2 with the outer wall cleaned moves into the drying bin 4 with the conveyor belt 1. When it reaches above the nozzle 43, hot air rushes out of the nozzle 43 to dry the glass bottle 2. While the glass bottle 2 is moving forward, its outer wall frictionally touches the non-woven fabrics 41 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. Under the extrusion of the sponge 42, the surface of the non-woven fabric 41 fully adheres to the surface of the glass bottle 2 and absorbs water. The glass bottle 2 is sent out of the drying bin 4 to complete the cleaning. The used non-woven fabric 41 is wound up, and a new non-woven fabric 41 moves to the surface of the sponge 42.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] The difference from Example 1 is that the bottom end of the quick connector female head 51 is not connected to the spring but is directly fixed. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the state of the quick connector female 51 when receiving the conveyor belt pressure and closing, the quick connector female includes a sliding sleeve 511, a top bead 512, a clamping plate 513, a second spring 514, a housing 515, and a support rod 516. The support rod 516 is vertically fixed at the central axis of the housing 515 of the female, and a round top bead 512 is fixed at the top of the support rod 516. The housing 515 is coaxially and sealedly connected to the sliding sleeve 511. The upper end of the sliding sleeve 511 is retracted toward the central axis to clamp the top bead 512. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 511 and the outer wall of the housing 515 are both horizontally installed with a clamping plate 513, and a spring is connected between the two clamping plates 513. When the female and the male are docked, the upper end of the sliding sleeve 511 loses the limiting function of the conveyor belt. Under the action of the spring restoring elastic force, the sliding sleeve 511 slides upward, and the top opening of the sliding sleeve 511 is separated from the blockage of the top bead 512. The female and the male are connected, and the water flow can flow from the female to the male. The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
