[0029] As an embodiment of the present application, the rotating assembly comprises a rotating sleeve 71, the rotating sleeve 71 is located outside the top of the mounting rod 7, the rotating sleeve 71 is positioned and arranged in the cavity on the bottom surface of the top of the rack 3, a guide head 72 is fixed to the outside of the mounting rod 7, the guide head 72 is located in a guide groove 73, and the guide groove 73 is formed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 71; the guide head 72 is slidably attached to the guide groove 73, and the guide groove 73 is distributed in a spiral shape in the rotating sleeve 71; heating pieces 121 and sterilization lamps 122 are fixed to the two sides of the sterilization column 9 respectively, and the inner sides of the front and rear sterilization plates 12 are fixed with the heating pieces 121 and the sterilization lamps 122 respectively; air holes are formed on the outside of the cooling column 10 and the inside of the cooling plate 13, the cooling column 10 and the cooling plate 13 are both arranged as an inner hollow structure and connected to an external cold air conveying mechanism through pipelines, and the cross section of the cooling plate 13 is designed as an "L" shaped structure.

[0030] The bottle is intermittently transported by the transmission belt 2, the electric push rod 4 drives the mounting base 5 to move downward, the mounting sleeve 6 drives the mounting rod 7 to move downward, the two mounting rods 7 drive the mounting plate 8 to move downward, the sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10 enter the bottle respectively, and the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 are located outside the bottle. In this process, the mounting rod 7 slides in the rotating sleeve 71, and the guide head 72 and the guide groove 73 make the mounting rod 7 rotate synchronously when moving downward, drive the sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10 to rotate, and drive the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 to rotate. The heating element 121 and the sterilization lamp 122 perform high-temperature and ultraviolet sterilization operation on the inside and outside of the bottle, and the cooling column 10 and the cooling plate 13 blow cold air through the openings to cool the inside and outside of the bottle.

[0031] As an embodiment of the application, the spacing adjustment assembly is arranged at the rack 3 and the mounting base 5, and is used for adjusting the spacing of the two mounting plates 8 according to the specifications of the bottles. The spacing adjustment assembly comprises a bidirectional screw 141 and a push head 142. The bidirectional screw 141 is embeddedly arranged at the top of the rack 3 by a motor, penetrates through the two rotating sleeves 71, and makes the two rotating sleeves 71 slide horizontally and oppositely inside the top of the rack 3. The push head 142 is fixed to the outside of the mounting sleeve 6 and slides horizontally in the cavity of the mounting base 5. The bottom of the outer end of the push head 142 is in abutment with a vertical rod 143 which is vertically penetrated and arranged in the mounting base 5. The bottom of the vertical rod 143 is in abutment with a push disc 144 which is arranged at the bottom of the mounting base 5 by an elastic telescopic rod 145. The bottom of the push disc 144 is in abutment with a vertical strip 146 which is located in a push groove 147 which is arranged on the horizontal rod 111 and the cooling plate 13. The bottom of the outer end of the push head 142 is designed as an inclined surface structure, and the inclined surface of the bottom of the push head 142 is used for pushing the vertical rod 143 to move downward. The outer side of the push groove 147 is designed as an inclined surface structure, and the inclined surface of the push groove 147 is used for driving the horizontal rod 111 and the cooling plate 13 to move outwardly along with the downward movement of the vertical strip 146.

[0032] When the bottles of different specifications are used, the spacing between the bottles also changes. The bidirectional screw 141 is driven to rotate by the motor, drives the two rotating sleeves 71 to move oppositely, and then drives the mounting sleeve 6 to move by the mounting rod 7. The push head 142 on the outside of the mounting sleeve 6 moves along with the bottom inclined surface which pushes the vertical rod 143 to move downward, and then pushes the push disc 144 to move downward. The push disc 144 pushes the vertical strip 146 into the push groove 147, and drives the horizontal rod 111 and the cooling plate 13 to move outwardly by contacting the inclined surface of the push groove 147. According to the specifications of the bottles, the positions of the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 are adjusted while the spacing between the sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10 is adjusted.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a direction adjustment component is disposed between the left mounting plate 8 and the sterilization rack 11. The direction adjustment component is used to adjust the angle of the sterilization plate 12 according to the specifications of the bottle. The direction adjustment component includes a toothed roller 151, which is embedded in the sterilization rack 11 and connected to the sterilization plate 12. A rack 152 meshes between the two toothed rollers 151. The rack 152 is fixed on the outside of the left mounting plate 8 and is staggered with the crossbar 111.

[0034] The movement of the crossbar 111 drives the toothed roller 151 to move. Through the meshing of the toothed roller 151 and the rack 152, the sterilization plate 12 can be rotated by the toothed roller 151, and the angle of the front and rear sterilization plates 12 can be adjusted.

[0035] Working principle: First, the bottles are intermittently transported by the conveyor belt 2. The electric push rod 4 drives the mounting base 5 to move down, and the mounting sleeve 6 drives the mounting rod 7 to move down, so that the two mounting rods 7 drive the mounting plate 8 to move down. The sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10 enter the bottle respectively, and the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 are located outside the bottle. During this process, the mounting rod 7 slides in the rotating sleeve 71. Through the guide head 72 and the guide groove 73, the mounting rod 7 rotates synchronously when it moves down, driving the sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10 to rotate, and driving the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 to rotate. The heating element 121 and the sterilization lamp 122 perform high temperature and ultraviolet sterilization on the inside and outside of the bottle. At the same time, the cold air blown out from the openings of the cooling column 10 and the cooling plate 13 cools the inside and outside of the bottle. Then the electric push rod 4 drives the mounting base 5 to reset, and the conveyor belt 2 continues to transport, sterilize new bottles, and cool sterilized bottles.

[0036] When dealing with bottles of different sizes, the spacing between the bottles will also change. A motor drives a bidirectional screw 141 to rotate, causing two rotating sleeves 71 to move in opposite directions. This, in turn, moves the mounting sleeve 6 via the mounting rod 7. The push head 142 on the outer side of the mounting sleeve 6 moves accordingly, and its bottom inclined surface pushes the vertical rod 143 downwards, which in turn pushes the push plate 144 downwards. The push plate 144 pushes the vertical bar 146 into the push groove 147. Through contact with the inclined surface of the push groove 147, it pushes the horizontal rod 111 and the cooling plate 13 to move outwards, according to the bottle size... While adjusting the distance between the sterilization column 9 and the cooling column 10, the positions of the sterilization plate 12 and the cooling plate 13 are also adjusted to facilitate stable sterilization and cooling of bottles of different sizes inside and out. Furthermore, the movement of the crossbar 111 drives the toothed roller 151 to move. Through the meshing of the toothed roller 151 and the rack 152, the toothed roller 151 can drive the sterilization plate 12 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the front and rear sterilization plates 12 so that the distribution of the sterilization plates 12 is adapted to the outer arc surface of bottles of different sizes, ensuring the uniformity of sterilization temperature and facilitating subsequent stable cooling.
