Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The core of the present invention is to provide a bottle cap cleaning device, which can improve the cleaning effect of the bottle cap and reduce the labor intensity of cleaning the bottle cap. Another core of the present invention is to provide a sample bottle cleaning system including the bottle cap cleaning device.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 .

[0039] This specific embodiment provides a bottle cap cleaning device 2, comprising:

[0040] The inner wall of the cylinder 21 is used to accommodate at least one bottle cap 3. The circumference of the cylinder 21 is provided with a long groove 24. Cleaning water can be sprayed from the outside of the cylinder 21 through the long groove 24 to clean the bottle cap 3 in the cylinder 21.

[0041] The bottom support 22 is disposed at the bottom of the cylinder 21 , and is used to support the bottle cap 3 at the bottom.

[0042] It should be noted that the barrel 21 is cylindrical in shape, and the outer diameter and height of the barrel 21 are consistent with the outer diameter and height of the sample bottle body to ensure that the barrel 21 can be placed in the sample bottle rack 1 to avoid jamming when the barrel 21 is placed in the sample bottle rack 1. In addition, the inner diameter of the barrel 21 needs to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sample bottle cap 3 so that the bottle cap 3 can be smoothly placed in and taken out of the barrel 21. An annular base 22 is provided at the bottom of the barrel 21 to support the bottle cap 3. Long grooves 24 are provided around the barrel 21 to allow more cleaning water to enter the barrel 21 through the long grooves 24 to contact the bottle cap 3 during cleaning, which helps to improve the cleaning effect of the bottle cap 3.

[0043] In actual use, the shape, structure, size, material, etc. of the cylinder 21 and the base 22 can be determined according to actual conditions and actual needs.

[0044] When using the bottle cap cleaning device 2 provided by the present invention, the cap opening of the bottle cap 3 (i.e., the unsealed end of the bottle cap 3) is facing upwards, and the bottle caps 3 are stacked one by one from the top of the barrel 21 into the barrel 21, and the bottom bottle cap 3 can be supported by the bottom support 22 to prevent the bottle cap 3 from falling from the barrel 21. At this time, the entire bottle cap cleaning device 2 can be regarded as a sample bottle body to be cleaned, and the bottle cap cleaning device 2 is placed in the sample bottle cleaning system, and the sample bottle cleaning system can clean the bottle cap 3 in the bottle cap cleaning device 2 in the same way as cleaning the sample bottle body.

[0045] That is, the bottle cap cleaning device 2 can be pushed into and out of the sample bottle rack 1 as smoothly as the sample bottle body, and the bottle cap cleaning device 2 can be transferred between various workstations through the sample bottle rack 1, so as to utilize the ultrasonic cleaning + spray flushing method in the sample bottle cleaning system to replace the manual scrubbing method, so that the cleaning effect of the bottle cap 3 is better, the automatic cleaning of the bottle cap 3 is realized, and the labor intensity of manual labor is reduced, and the bottle cap cleaning device 2 can be used in conjunction with the existing sample bottle cleaning system. The device has a simple structure and strong applicability, and can be promoted for use.

[0046] In summary, the bottle cap cleaning device 2 provided by the present invention can not only improve the cleaning effect of the bottle cap 3, but also reduce the labor intensity of cleaning the bottle cap 3.

[0047] In one embodiment, the barrel 21 is provided with at least two long grooves 24 along the circumferential direction, so that more cleaning water can enter the barrel 21 through the long grooves 24 to rinse the bottle caps 3 , which helps to improve the rinsing effect of the bottle caps 3 .

[0048] In one embodiment, the width of one long groove 24 is the first width, and the widths of the other long grooves 24 are the second width, the first width is greater than the second width, and the bottle cap 3 is placed in or taken out from the long groove 24 of the first width when it is in an inclined state relative to the barrel 21, wherein the inclination angle of the bottle cap 3 can be determined during actual use; the bottle cap 3 does not slide out from the long groove 24 of the first width when it is in a horizontal state relative to the barrel 21. That is, a certain long groove 24 opened around the barrel 21 can be widened, so that the bottle cap 3 can be placed in or taken out of the barrel 21 from the widened long groove 24 when it is inclined relative to the barrel 21 (i.e., in a non-horizontal state), and the bottle cap 3 will not slide out of the barrel 21 from the widened long groove 24 when it is in a horizontal state relative to the barrel 21.

[0049] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the inner wall of the cylinder 21 is provided with at least one limit block 23 at equal intervals along the axial direction, and the interval between two adjacent limit blocks 23 is greater than the height of the bottle cap 3. The inner wall of the cylinder 21 is evenly provided with at least two limit blocks 23 along the circumferential direction, and the limit blocks 23 of the same height are used to clamp the bottle cap 3.

[0050] It should be noted that at least two stoppers 23 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the cylinder 21, and the stoppers 23 of the same height just catch one bottle cap 3 so that it cannot fall. Moreover, at least one stopper 23 is evenly arranged along the axial direction on the inner wall of the cylinder 21, and the distance between two adjacent stoppers 23 is greater than the height of the bottle cap 3. When the bottle cap 3 needs to be placed in the cylinder 21, the bottle cap 3 can be tilted so that the bottle cap 3 is placed in or taken out of the cylinder 21 from the widened long groove 24. When the bottle cap 3 is in a horizontal state, the bottle cap 3 will not slide out of the cylinder 21 from the widened long groove 24. By setting the stopper 23, the bottle caps 3 will not be tightly stacked together, but have a certain gap, thereby increasing the contact surface between the bottle cap 3 and the cleaning water, reducing the cleaning dead angle, and making the cleaning effect of the bottle cap 3 better.

[0051] In one embodiment, the cylinder 21 includes a stainless steel material or a plastic material to improve the use effect of the cylinder 21 and prevent the cylinder 21 from rusting during use.

[0052] In addition to the above-mentioned bottle cap cleaning device 2, the present invention also provides a sample bottle cleaning system including the bottle cap cleaning device 2 disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the sample bottle cleaning system also includes a sample bottle rack 1, and the sample bottle rack 1 is used to place at least one bottle cap cleaning device 2 side by side. For the structures of other parts of the sample bottle cleaning system, please refer to the prior art, and this article will not repeat them. That is, based on the existing sample bottle cleaning system, the present application invents a bottle cap cleaning device 2, and the bottle cap cleaning device 2 is used in conjunction with the sample bottle rack 1 to realize the cleaning operation of the bottle cap 3 in the sample bottle cleaning system.

[0053] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the sample bottle rack 1 is the same as the outer diameter of the barrel 21 of the bottle cap cleaning device 2, and the height of the sample bottle rack 1 is the same as the height of the barrel 21. That is, the diameter and height of the barrel 21 of the bottle cap cleaning device 2 are not unique, and the size of the barrel 21 is consistent with that of the sample bottle rack 1 to adapt to the bottle caps 3 of coal sample bottles of different specifications.

[0054] In one embodiment, it also includes an ultrasonic cleaning pool for ultrasonically cleaning the sample bottle rack 1 and a spray flushing mechanism for spray flushing the sample bottle rack 1 .

[0055] It should be noted that if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the existing sample bottle cleaning system mainly consists of a bottle feeding belt 01, a bottle pushing mechanism 02, an ultrasonic cleaning pool 03, a spray drying pool 04, a bottle rack rotating mechanism 05, a sample bottle rack 06, a spray washing mechanism 07, a brushing mechanism 08 and a drying mechanism 09. The sample bottle rack 06 is arranged around the bottle rack rotating mechanism 05, and the sample bottle rack 06 is arranged at the ultrasonic cleaning pool 03 and the spray drying pool 04 respectively, so that the sample bottle rack 06 can take turns to enter and take out bottles.

[0056] After manually opening the cap and pouring the material, the sample bottles to be cleaned are placed on the bottle feeding belt 01 according to their specifications. The sample bottles are grouped (the bottle cap cleaning device of this application is equivalent to the sample bottle body 010 of the existing sample bottle cleaning system, and the bottle cap cleaning device is used to be placed in the sample bottle rack 1 of this application) and sent to the sample bottle rack 06 (which is equivalent to the sample bottle rack 1 of this application) at the ultrasonic cleaning pool 03 through the bottle feeding belt 01 and the bottle pushing mechanism 02. Driven by the bottle rack rotating mechanism 05, the sample bottle rack 06 rotates counterclockwise by one station, and the sample bottle is immersed in the pool water of the ultrasonic cleaning pool 03 for ultrasonic cleaning. At this time, the sample bottle rack 06 stations take turns to enter the bottles for cleaning according to the set time rhythm (such as 5 minutes). After the bottle rack rotating mechanism 05 rotates one circle, the cleaned sample bottles (equivalent to the bottle cap cleaning device of this application) are pushed into the sample bottle rack 06 at the spray drying pool 04 by the bottle pushing mechanism 02. The sample bottle rack 06 is driven by the bottle rack rotating mechanism 05 to rotate counterclockwise to each station in turn, and the sample bottles are rinsed with high-pressure water spray, brushed with brushes and dried with hot air in turn at the corresponding stations. After the bottle rack rotating mechanism 05 rotates one circle, the sample bottles that have completed all the cleaning and drying processes are pushed out of the sample bottle rack 06 by the bottle pushing mechanism 02 and fall into the clean bottle buffer device for buffering.

[0057] The technical solution of the present application is realized based on the technology of the above-mentioned existing sample bottle cleaning system. By designing a bottle cap cleaning device, the bottle cap of the sample bottle is simulated into the sample bottle body 010 through the bottle cap cleaning device, so that the bottle cap can circulate in the sample bottle cleaning system according to the above-mentioned process like the sample bottle body 010, thereby realizing the cleaning operation of the bottle cap in the sample bottle cleaning system.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by "horizontal", "inside and outside", etc. in this application are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the purpose of simplifying the description and facilitating understanding, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
