Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of can cleaning equipment, in particular to a can washing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the development of commodity economy, the packaging industry has entered a period of rapid development. Cans are widely used in beverage, food, daily chemical and other industries due to their advantages of being light, easy to carry, well sealed and recyclable. In order to ensure the quality and hygiene standards of can packaging, special equipment is needed to clean the cans, and can rinsers came into being.

[0003] When cleaning cans, the speed of cans may be fast or slow during the conveying process, and cans may pile up or get blocked. When cans pile up at the entrance, subsequent cans cannot enter the rinser in time, causing the rinser to fail to work continuously and stably. Manual cleaning and drainage are required, which wastes water resources and increases energy consumption. When cleaning bottles, the bottom, shoulders and some curved parts of the bottle are difficult to be fully covered by the water flow of the nozzle, and there will be dead corners for cleaning, resulting in the inability to effectively rinse away stains and residual substances in these parts. As a result, the rinse time of a single bottle can only be extended to allow the water flow to cover the bottle surface as much as possible, which limits the scope of application of the equipment and reduces the flexibility and versatility of production. When rinsing cans, a large amount of moisture will remain on the surface of the cans after rinsing. This moisture will not only cause water stains on the cans during the subsequent transportation process, but due to insufficient cleaning and drying, additional manual wiping and natural drying may be required after the rinser, resulting in uneven cleaning effects, greatly extending the production cycle, reducing production efficiency, increasing labor costs and site occupancy, and increasing production costs.

[0016] 1. The conveying mechanism provided in the present invention can solve the problem that the bottle rinser cannot work continuously and stably, and needs to be cleaned and guided by humans continuously, which wastes water resources and increases energy consumption. When the first rotating rod rotates, the spiral rod also rotates. The special structure of the spiral rod enables it to push the cans placed on it to move forward during the rotation.

When the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod is contracted, the clamps will move away from each other and loosen the clamping of the cans. As the chain rotates in a cycle, the device box fixed on the chain and the cans clamped by the clamps will also move. Driven by the chain, the cans will flip forward and backward along the movement trajectory of the chain, thereby effectively ensuring that there are no dead corners for cleaning, thoroughly removing the stains, impurities and microorganisms remaining in the can, greatly improving the cleanliness of the cans, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0018] 3. The water collection pool, spray pipe, nozzle, infusion pipe, valve island, pipe joint and air inlet pipe can solve the problems of uneven cleaning effect, greatly extending the production cycle, reducing production efficiency, increasing labor cost and site occupation, and increasing production cost. The air inlet pipe is connected with an external pump to transfer the gas to the inside of the outer tube through the air inlet pipe. The gas entering the outer tube is distributed to each pipe joint through the connecting ring. The pipe joint guides the gas to the gas pipe, and the gas pipe transports the gas to the triple pipe, and finally the flushed cans are blown dry through the air path coordinated with the nozzle, thereby effectively reducing the intermediate transportation and transition links, so that the cans can complete the whole process of cleaning and drying on one device, shortening the production process, improving production efficiency, reducing equipment footprint, and reducing investment costs.

[0042] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0043] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: the can rinser includes a workbench 1, and a top frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper side wall of the workbench 1. The external protective cover is installed and connected through the top frame 2 to prevent water and impurities from spraying out when the cans are cleaned. A slide rail 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper side wall of the workbench 1, and the bottom of the cans is supported and transported by the slide rail 5. A bottom frame 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 1, and the bottom of the entire equipment is supported and fixed by the bottom frame 6. A conveying mechanism 3 is arranged on the front side of the upper side wall of the workbench 1;

[0044] The conveying mechanism 3 includes: two first support plates 301, a first motor 302 and two connecting columns 310. The front side walls of the two first support plates 301 are fixedly connected with first connecting rods 309. The left and right ends of the first connecting rods 309 are both connected through the front side walls of the top frame 2. The first connecting rods 309 are fixed to the left and right sides of the two first support plates 301 to fix the front side of the conveying mechanism 3 inside the front side of the top frame 2, and support and fix the front side of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0045] A first rotating rod 304 is connected through the top of the rear side of the two first support plates 301, and a spiral rod 305 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first rotating rod 304. The outer sides of the left and right ends of the first rotating rod 304 are rotatably connected with fixed rings 306, and the two fixed rings 306 are rotatably connected to the inside of the two first support plates 301. The first rotating rod 304 is supported by passing the left and right ends of the first rotating rod 304 through the inside of the two first support plates 301. The left and right ends of the first rotating rod 304 are supported and fixed by the fixed rings 306 on the outer sides of the left and right ends of the first rotating rod 304, so that after the first rotating rod 304 is driven to rotate, it can rotate stably, and the spiral rod 305 on the outer side of the first rotating rod 304 can be used to drive the can to move, and can accurately drive the can to move and stop at a specified position, so that the flip clamping mechanism 4 can clamp it.

[0046] The left end of the first rotating rod 304 is fixedly connected with the second pulley 307, the left side wall of the first motor 302 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the left first supporting plate 301, the output end of the first motor 302 is fixedly connected with the first pulley 303, and the outer sides of the first motor 302 and the second pulley 307 are both provided with a belt 308. When the first motor 302 is started, the first motor 302 starts to run, and its output end drives the first pulley 303 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. Since the outer sides of the first pulley 303 and the second pulley 307 are provided with a belt 308, under the transmission action of the belt 308, the rotation of the first pulley 303 will drive the second pulley 307 to rotate synchronously. The second pulley 307 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first rotating rod 304, so the rotation of the second pulley 307 will cause the first rotating rod 304 to rotate as well.

[0047] The left and right ends of the two connecting columns 310 are fixedly connected to the left and right walls of the two first support plates 301, and the rear side walls of the two connecting columns 310 are fixedly connected to the fixing plates 311. The rear side walls of the two fixing plates 311 are threadedly connected to the front side walls of the slide rail 5. The connecting columns 310 on the two first support plates 301 are connected to the fixing plates 311, and the fixing plates 311 are threadedly connected to the front side walls of the slide rail 5, so as to support the rear side of the conveying mechanism 3, to ensure that the conveying mechanism 3 can be stably supported to convey the cans.

[0048] like Figure 5 - Fig.11 As shown, the upper side wall of the workbench 1 and the top rear side of the slide rail 5 are provided with a flip clamping mechanism 4.

[0049] The flipping clamping mechanism 4 includes: two second support plates 401, a second motor 403, two chains 408 and a second connecting rod 410. The left side wall of a single second support plate 401 is fixedly connected to a fixed box 402, and the bottom wall of the second motor 403 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the fixed box 402.

[0050] The output end of the second motor 403 is fixedly connected to a rotator 404, and the right side of the rotator 404 is fixedly connected to a second rotating rod 405. The left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405 are connected to the top of the second support plate 401. When the second motor 403 is started, the second motor 403 starts to run, and its output end drives the rotator 404 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The rotator 404 transmits power to the second rotating rod 405 fixedly connected to the right side, so that the second rotating rod 405 starts to rotate. The left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405 are connected to the top of the two second support plates 401, ensuring the stability of the rotation.

[0051] The first sprockets 407 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405. The two first sprockets 407 are arranged inside the two second support plates 401. After being driven by the second rotating rod 405, the first sprockets 407 on the left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405 will also rotate synchronously inside the two second support plates 401. The middle of the two second support plates 401 is fixedly connected to the first support column 406, which is fixed inside the two second support plates 401 to connect and support the two second support plates 401. The outer sides of the two first sprockets 407 are meshed with the top of the chain 408, and the second connecting rod 410 is connected through the bottom of the two second support plates 401. The left and right ends of the second connecting rod 410 are fixedly connected with the second sprockets 409, and the outer sides of the two second sprockets 409 are meshed with the bottom of the chain 408. By firstly meshing the outer sides of the first sprockets 407 with the inner top of the chain 408, the chain 408 is driven to rotate accordingly, and the second sprocket 409 on the second connecting rod 410 is meshed with the bottom of the chain 408 to drive the second sprocket 409 to rotate, and support and assist the bottom of the chain 408.

[0052] The bottom of the first support column 406 is fixedly connected to the second support column 411, and the bottoms of the two second support columns 411 are fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the workbench 1. The two second support columns 411 are fixed to the bottom of the first support column 406 to connect, so that the second support columns 411 are fixed in the upper side wall of the workbench 1 to support the bottom of the entire flip clamping mechanism 4.

The device box 412 is fixed to a portion of the front side of the two chains 408, and the second motor 403 drives the chain 408 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving the device box 412 on the chain 408 to flip forward and backward.

[0054] Six hydraulic rods 413 are arranged inside the device box 412, and the telescopic ends of the six hydraulic rods 413 are fixedly connected to the articulated frame 414. Two support rods 415 are rotatably connected inside each articulated frame 414. Both sides of the middle of each two support rods 415 are arranged on the left and right inside of the hydraulic rod 413. The front side walls of the two support rods 415 are fixedly connected to the clamping block 416. The device box 412 is used to protect the hydraulic rods 413 and the like inside. When the cans are transported to the bottom of the clamping block 416 through the spiral rod 305, the chain 40 8 will drive the device box 412 to move downward, so that the can enters the interior of the clamping block 416. When the hydraulic rod 413 is started, the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 413 will drive the fixedly connected articulated frame 414 to slide forward, so that the support rod 415 inside the articulated frame 414 drives the clamping block 416 to expand the clamping diameter. When the hydraulic rod 413 drives the articulated frame 414 to slide backward, the clamping block 416 will shrink to clamp the top of the can. After clamping, it will rotate in the opposite direction through the second motor 403 to drive the clamped can to flip over.

[0059] It should be noted that the present invention is a can rinser, and firstly, the first motor 302, the second motor 403, the hydraulic rod 413, the water inlet pipe 19 and the air inlet pipe 23 are connected to the external power supply, the control panel and the water tank, and the pump, etc., to supply power to the device and control the whole.

[0060] When the first motor 302 is started, the first motor 302 starts to run, and its output end drives the first pulley 303 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. Since the outer sides of the first pulley 303 and the second pulley 307 are provided with a belt 308, under the transmission effect of the belt 308, the rotation of the first pulley 303 will drive the second pulley 307 to rotate synchronously. The second pulley 307 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first rotating rod 304, so the rotation of the second pulley 307 will cause the first rotating rod 304 to rotate as well. The outer side of the first rotating rod 304 is fixedly connected with a spiral rod 305, and when the first rotating rod 304 rotates, the spiral rod 305 also rotates accordingly. The special structure of the spiral rod 305 enables it to push the cans placed on it to move forward during the rotation process. The two first support plates 301 provide support and fixation for the entire conveying structure. The outer sides of the left and right ends of the first rotating rod 304 are rotatably connected to the inside of the two first support plates 301 through fixed rings 306, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the first rotating rod 304, thereby ensuring that the cans can be conveyed forward stably and orderly.

[0061] The left and right ends of the two connecting posts 310 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right walls of the two first support plates 301, which play the role of connecting and reinforcing the two first support plates 301, and enhance the overall structural stability of the conveying mechanism. The rear side wall of the connecting post 310 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 311, and the rear side walls of the two fixing plates 311 are threadedly connected to the front side wall of the slide rail 5, so that the conveying mechanism can be slidably adjusted along the slide rail 5. By adjusting the position of the conveying mechanism on the slide rail 5, the conveying position of the cans can be accurately adjusted according to actual production needs, ensuring that the cans can accurately enter the subsequent bottle washing process.

[0062] When the second motor 403 is started, the second motor 403 starts to run, and its output end drives the rotator 404 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The rotator 404 transmits power to the second rotating rod 405 fixedly connected on the right side, so that the second rotating rod 405 starts to rotate. The left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405 are connected to the top of the second support plate 401 to ensure the stability of rotation. The left and right ends of the second rotating rod 405 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the first sprocket 407. When the second rotating rod 405 rotates, the first sprocket 407 rotates accordingly. Since the first sprocket 407 is meshed with the top of the chain 408, the rotation of the first sprocket 407 will drive the chain 408 to move. At the same time, the bottom of the two second support plates 401 is connected to the second connecting rod 410. The second sprocket 409 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the second connecting rod 410 is meshed with the bottom of the chain 408. The second sprocket 409 plays a role in supporting and assisting the chain transmission, so that the chain 408 can be stably cyclically rotated. The first support column 406 fixedly connected to the middle of the two second support plates 401 and the second support column 411 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first support column 406 provide a solid support for the entire transmission structure, ensuring the stability of the chain transmission process.

[0063] A device box 412 is fixedly connected to a portion of the front side of the chain 408. The six hydraulic rods 413 arranged inside the device box 412 are key components for clamping the cans. When it is necessary to clamp the cans, the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 413 begins to extend. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 413 is fixedly connected to an articulated frame 414. As the hydraulic rod 413 extends, the articulated frame 414 is pushed forward. Since each articulated frame 414 is internally rotatably connected to two support rods 415, and the middle two sides of each of the two support rods 415 are arranged on the left and right inside of the hydraulic rod 413, the support rods 415 will rotate around the hinge point under the push of the articulated frame 414. This rotation makes the clamping blocks 416 fixedly connected to the front side walls of the two support rods 415 approach each other, thereby clamping the cans. On the contrary, when the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 413 is retracted, the clamping blocks 416 will move away from each other, loosening the clamping of the cans, and as the chain 408 circulates, the device box 412 fixed on the chain 408 and the cans clamped by the clamping blocks 416 will also move accordingly. Driven by the chain 408, the cans will flip forward and backward along the movement track of the chain, thereby achieving flushing of the cans at different angles, ensuring that both the inside and the outside of the cans can be fully cleaned.

[0064] First, the water is connected to an external water tank through the water inlet pipe 19, and water is transported to the valve island 18 through the water inlet pipe 19. The valve island 18 controls the water flow and adjusts the flow rate. The water adjusted by the valve island 18 is transported to each bottom connector 14 through the connecting pipe 16. The bottom connector 14 guides the water to the delivery pipe 15, and then enters the infusion pipe 13 through the top connector 14. The infusion pipe 13 transports the water to the triple pipe 12. The triple pipe 12 plays the role of diversion and connection, and further distributes the water to the spray pipe 10. After the water is collected in the spray pipe 10, it is sprayed out at a certain pressure and angle through the nozzle 11 connected thereto to rinse the passing cans. The six nozzles 11 can rinse the cans from different positions and angles to ensure that the inside of the cans can be cleaned.

[0065] The water collecting pool 7 is located at the rear side walls of the two second support plates 401, and the water outlet pipe 9 connects the outer cylinder 8 with the water collecting pool 7. During the cleaning process, excess water will be discharged through the water outlet pipe 9.

[0066] After the water is cleaned, the air inlet pipe 23 is connected to an external pump to transfer the gas to the interior of the outer tube 8 through the air inlet pipe 23. The gas entering the outer tube 8 is distributed to each pipe joint 22 through the connecting ring 21. The pipe joint 22 guides the gas to the gas pipe 20. The gas pipe 20 transports the gas to the triple pipe 12, and finally the flushed cans are blown dry through the air path coordinated with the nozzle. The gas pressure and flow rate can be adjusted according to the drying requirements of the cans to quickly and effectively remove moisture on the surface and inside of the cans.
