[0002] During the beer production process, the cleanliness of beer bottles directly affects product quality and safety. Traditional cleaning devices mostly use fixed brackets and a single spray structure, which has the following technical bottlenecks:
[0003] Insufficient cleaning coverage: Conventional devices have blind spots in flushing the bottle sidewalls, bottlenecks and inner cavity, and the inner cavity flushing often fails to fully cover the cleaning liquid due to nozzle alignment deviation.
[0004] In existing equipment, bottle positioning, spraying mechanisms, and rotation drives are often independent systems, resulting in cumbersome operation. For example, after placing the bottle, the nozzle angle must be manually adjusted, or the rotation and spraying functions rely on multiple motors. This not only consumes a lot of energy but also has poor mechanical coordination and is prone to failure.
[0005] After rinsing the bottle, the traditional device, with the bottle mouth facing upward, can easily cause the cleaning liquid to be retained, creating the risk of microbial contamination.
[0006] In response to the above problems, it is urgent to develop an integrated cleaning device that can realize the integrated operation of bottle positioning, multi-directional spraying and rotary cleaning through the coordinated design of mechanical linkage and fluid dynamics.

The cleaning liquid sprayed from the third nozzle can enter the interior of the beer bottle and flush the interior of the beer bottle.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. A single motor synchronously controls the opening and closing of the cover, the expansion and folding of the placement plate, and the alignment of the nozzle, eliminating the complexity of traditional multi-motor control. A bevel gear set and belt drive system precisely transmit power to the three-stage placement plate. This allows the placement plate to automatically expand when the cover is opened (facilitating bottle loading) and automatically fold and position the beer bottle when the cover is closed, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
[0019] 2. The cylinder and piston system transmits power through air pressure, automatically rotating the adjacent placement plates during the folding process. For example, when the second placement plate rotates, the movement of the first cylinder's piston drives the pressure change in the air pipe, pushing the second cylinder's piston to move, causing the third placement plate to rotate synchronously, ensuring coordinated movement of the three-stage bracket during opening and closing.
[0020] 3. The staggered arrangement of the first and second nozzles creates a cross-spray network, which, combined with the beer bottle's rotation, provides 360° full-coverage cleaning of the bottle. When the pentagonal frame is closed, the third nozzle on the outer tube aligns with the bottle's mouth, directing high-pressure cleaning fluid directly into the bottle's interior, eliminating blind spots caused by misaligned nozzles in traditional systems. With the bottle's mouth naturally facing downward, gravity drains the liquid completely after rinsing, eliminating the risk of microbial growth caused by retained cleaning fluid.
[0021] 4. When the placement plate is folded, the drawstring is loosened, and the second spring pushes the flat rack to move, driving the curved rack and curved rod to lock the bottle neck, preventing the bottle from shaking during rinsing. When the placement plate is unfolded, the drawstring is tightened, pulling the flat rack back to its original position, and the curved rod returns to the curved groove, automatically unlocking the bottle body for quick access.
[0022] 5. The ratchet and the block assembly engage after the placement plate is unfolded, forcibly locking the rotation of the second shaft to avoid safety hazards caused by accidental rotation of the bracket during the bottling process.
[0023] 6. The three-level placement board (first placement board, second placement board and third placement board) can be folded from the parallel expansion state into a pentagonal frame structure to match the inner cavity of the box, greatly improving the space utilization of the equipment.
[0024] 7. After the cleaning fluid impacts the beer bottle, it rotates, converting the fluid's kinetic energy into mechanical energy, reducing the need for an additional rotary motor. The incomplete bevel gear engages only during the critical opening and closing phases of the bracket, with the ratchet locking the system at all other times. A pneumatic linkage replaces an electric actuator, eliminating the risk of hydraulic leakage and significantly improving the system's long-term stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] During the process of closing or opening the cover 2 , the driving assembly can drive the third rotating shaft 17 and the second placing plate 19 to rotate.
[0041] The driving assembly includes a first rotating shaft 4, which is rotatably connected to the box body 1 and fixedly connected to the cover plate 2. A motor 3 is fixed on the box body 1, and the output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 4 concentrically.
[0042] A second rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2, and the second rotating shaft 5 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 4. A first bevel gear 6 is concentrically fixed on the second rotating shaft 5, and the first bevel gear 6 is engaged with an incomplete bevel gear 7 fixed on the box body 1. A first pulley 14 is concentrically fixed on the second rotating shaft 5, and a second pulley 16 is concentrically fixed on the third rotating shaft 17. The first pulley 14 and the second pulley 16 are connected through a belt 15.
[0043] When the cover 2 is closed or opened, when the first bevel gear 6 meshes with the incomplete bevel gear 7, the second rotating shaft 5 rotates and drives the third rotating shaft 17 to rotate through the first pulley 14, the second pulley 16 and the belt 15. During the rotation of the third rotating shaft 17, the second placement plate 19 rotates accordingly.
[0044] A ratchet 8 is coaxially fixed to the second rotating shaft 5. A fixing block 9 is fixed to the housing 1, and an arc-shaped fixing sleeve 10 is fixed to the fixing block 9. The fixing sleeve 10 is concentric with the first rotating shaft 4. A first spring 11 is disposed within the fixing sleeve 10.

[0048] The bracket includes two fixing plates 30 , and a plurality of supporting units are fixed between the two fixing plates 30 .
[0049] The supporting unit includes a supporting plate 31 , which is fixedly connected to the two fixing plates 30 , and the supporting plate 31 is tilted.
[0050] A limit plate 33 is fixed between the two fixed plates 30 above the support plate 31 and is parallel to the fixed plates 30. The limit plate 33 has a plurality of arc-shaped limit slots 34 evenly distributed along its length. A turntable 32 corresponding to the limit slots 34 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 31. The bottom of a beer bottle 35 is placed on the turntable 32, and the neck of the beer bottle 35 is located in the limit slots 34.
[0051] The bracket on the first placement plate 18 and the bracket on the second placement plate 19 are connected through a first power assembly, and the bracket on the second placement plate 19 and the bracket on the third placement plate 21 are connected through a second power assembly. The adjacent first power assemblies and second power assemblies are connected. When the second placement plate 19 rotates relative to the first placement plate 18, the first power assembly transfers power to the second power assembly, causing the third placement plate 21 to rotate relative to the second placement plate 19.
[0052] The first power assembly includes a first air cylinder 23 . A connecting block 22 is fixed to the lower end of the first air cylinder 23 . The connecting block 22 at the lower end of the first air cylinder 23 is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft 17 .

[0055] The piston 26 in the second air cylinder 24 divides the interior of the second air cylinder 24 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity of the first air cylinder 23 and the lower cavity of the second air cylinder 24 are connected through an air pipe 25.
[0056] A connecting rod 27 is fixed to the upper end of each piston 26. The two connecting rods 27 pass through the upper end of the first gas cylinder 23 and the upper end of the second gas cylinder 24 respectively. The two connecting rods 27 are slidingly and sealingly connected to the upper end of the first gas cylinder 23 and the upper end of the second gas cylinder 24 respectively.

[0060] The bracket is provided with a limiting device capable of limiting the beer bottle 35. The limiting device is connected to the adjacent bracket by a pull rope 38. After the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 are parallel, the pull rope 38 is tightened and the limiting device loses its limiting effect on the beer bottle 35 on the bracket.
[0061] The limiting device includes a plurality of limiting units, and the number of the limiting units is equal to the number of the limiting slots 34 and corresponds one to one.
[0062] The limiting unit includes an arc-shaped groove opened in the limiting plate 33, which is concentric with the limiting groove 34. An arc-shaped rack 39 is rotatably arranged in the arc-shaped groove, and an arc-shaped rod 40 is fixed at one end of the arc-shaped rack 39. After the arc-shaped rack 39 drives the arc-shaped rod 40 to rotate, the bottleneck of the beer bottle 35 is located between the arc-shaped rod 40 and the limiting groove 34.
[0063] The limiting plate 33 has a long slot in communication with the arcuate slot. A flat rack 37 is slidably disposed within the slot and engages with the arcuate rack 39.

[0064] An external flushing device is provided on the bracket, and the external flushing device can flush the side wall of the beer bottle 35.
[0065] The external flushing device includes first nozzles 45 located on either side of the beer bottle 35 within the bracket. The axis of the first nozzles 45 is parallel to the axis of the beer bottle 35, and the first nozzles 45 on either side of the beer bottle 35 are staggered. The first nozzles 45 have multiple spray holes on the side facing the beer bottle 35. The first nozzles 45 are fixed to the support plate 31. After the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the sidewalls of the beer bottle 35 from the two second nozzles 47, the beer bottle 35 and the turntable 32 are able to rotate.
[0066] A second nozzle 47 is fixed on the limiting plate 33 on one side of the limiting groove 34. The second nozzle 47 is parallel to the first nozzle 45. The second nozzle 47 is provided with a plurality of spray holes on the side facing the bottleneck of the beer bottle 35. During the rotation of the beer bottle 35, the cleaning liquid sprayed from the spray holes of the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 47 can fully rinse the side wall of the bottle body of the beer bottle 35.
[0067] The first nozzle 45 is connected to the first branch pipe 44, the second nozzle 47 is connected to the second branch pipe 46, the first branch pipe 44 and the second branch pipe 46 are connected through the connecting pipe 43, the connecting pipe 43 is connected to the manifold 42, the manifold 42 is connected to the hose 41, and the manifold 42, the first branch pipe 44 and the second branch pipe 46 are fixed in the bracket.
[0068] An internal flushing device is provided in the middle of the box body 1. After the cover plate 2 is closed, the internal flushing device can flush the inner cavity of the beer bottle 35 in the bracket.
[0069] The internal flushing device includes an inlet pipe 48 fixed in the box body 1, and two pentagonal outer pipes 50 are sleeved on the outside of the inlet pipe 48. The two outer pipes 50 are arranged up and down. The inlet pipe 48 and the outer pipe 50 are fixedly connected through a diversion pipe 49. A plurality of third nozzles 51 are fixedly connected to the outside of the outer pipe 50.
[0070] During the closing process of the cover plate 2, after the first bevel gear 6 disengages from the incomplete bevel gear 7, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 on either side of the first placement plate 18 stop rotating, and the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19, and the third placement plate 21 come together to form a pentagonal frame structure. After the cover plate 2 is closed, the pentagonal frame structure formed by the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19, and the third placement plate 21 is located outside the two outer tubes 50. The number of third nozzles 51 on the outer tubes 50 is equal to the number of beer bottles 35 within the pentagonal frame structure, and the outlets of the third nozzles 51 correspond one-to-one with the bottle openings of the beer bottles 35. The cleaning fluid sprayed from the third nozzles 51 can enter the interior of the beer bottles 35 and rinse them.
[0071] Before rinsing the beer bottle 35, the cover 2 is opened. In the stage before the cover 2 is opened, the first bevel gear 6 and the incomplete bevel gear 7 are not engaged, and the block 13 and the ratchet 8 are in contact and cooperate to stop the second rotating shaft 5 from rotating. The second rotating shaft 5 cannot rotate on its own during the process of revolving around the first rotating shaft 4.
[0072] When the first bevel gear 6 is engaged with the incomplete bevel gear 7, the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 rotate to the outside of the box body 1, the block 13 is separated from the ratchet 8, and the second rotating shaft 5 rotates during the opening of the cover 2. The second rotating shaft 5 drives the third rotating shaft 17 at both ends of the first placement plate 18 to rotate through the first pulley 14, the second pulley 16 and the belt 15. When the third rotating shaft 17 rotates, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 rotate relative to the first placement plate 18, and the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 gradually move away from the first placement plate 18.
[0073] When the second placement plate 19 rotates relative to the first placement plate 18, the hinged rod 29 and hinged block 28 above the first air cylinder 23 cause the connecting rod 27 and piston 26 within the first air cylinder 23 to move toward the third rotation axis 17. Simultaneously, air in the lower chamber of the second air cylinder 24 enters the upper chamber of the first air cylinder 23 through the air pipe 25, causing the piston 26 and connecting rod 27 within the second air cylinder 24 to move toward the fourth rotation axis 20. As the piston 26 and connecting rod 27 within the second air cylinder 24 move toward the fourth rotation axis 20, the hinged rod 29 and hinged block 28 above the second air cylinder 24 cause the third placement plate 21 to rotate relative to the second placement plate 19.
[0074] During the opening process of the cover 2, the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 are rotated out from the box body 1, and then the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 gradually become parallel.
[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, after the cover 2 is opened, the first placement plate 18 , the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 are parallel. At this time, the beer bottle 35 can be placed on the turntable 32 with the bottleneck of the beer bottle 35 located in the limiting groove 34 .
[0076] After the beer bottle 35 is placed in the bracket, the cover 2 is closed, the first bevel gear 6 is engaged with the incomplete bevel gear 7, and the second rotating shaft 5 drives the third rotating shaft 17 at both ends of the first placing plate 18 to rotate through the first pulley 14, the second pulley 16 and the belt 15. When the third rotating shaft 17 rotates, the second placing plate 19 and the third placing plate 21 rotate relative to the first placing plate 18, and the second placing plate 19 and the third placing plate 21 gradually approach the first placing plate 18.
[0077] After the first bevel gear 6 disengages from the incomplete bevel gear 7, the ratchet 8 engages with the block 13. At this point, the first placement plate 18 and the second and third placement plates 19, 21 on either side of it form a pentagonal frame structure. After the ratchet 8 engages with the block 13, the block 13 can stop the ratchet 8 from rotating. During the subsequent rotation of the cover plate 2, the slide bar 12 and the block 13 move along with the second rotating shaft 5, the first bevel gear 6, and the ratchet 8. The first spring 11 is compressed, and the engagement of the ratchet 8 with the block 13 prevents the second rotating shaft 5 from rotating, thus preventing the first placement plate 18 and the second and third placement plates 19, 21 on either side from rotating.
[0078] During the rotation of the first placement plate 18 relative to the second placement plate 19, the hinge block 28 above the first air cylinder 23 moves away from the third rotation axis 17, and the air in the upper cavity of the first air cylinder 23 enters the lower cavity of the second air cylinder 24 through the air pipe 25. The hinge block 28 above the second air cylinder 24 moves away from the fourth rotation axis 20. At the same time, the hinge block 28 above the second air cylinder 24 causes the third placement plate 21 to rotate relative to the second placement plate 19 through the hinge rod 29.
[0079] When the first placement plate 18 and the second placement plates 19 and the third placement plates 21 on both sides thereof are combined to form a pentagonal frame structure, as the cover plate 2 is gradually closed, the first placement plate 18 and the second placement plates 19 and the third placement plates 21 on both sides thereof enter the box body 1.
[0080] During the process of the first placement plate 18 and the second placement plates 19 and the third placement plates 21 on both sides thereof being combined to form a pentagonal frame structure, the pull rope 38 relaxes, and under the elastic force of the second spring 36, the flat rack 37 slides in the long groove, and the arc-shaped rack 39 and the arc-shaped rod 40 rotate. When the bottleneck of the beer bottle 35 is located between the limiting groove 34 and the arc-shaped rod 40, the beer bottle 35 is limited.
[0081] After the cover plate 2 is closed, cleaning liquid is fed under high pressure into the hose 41 and inlet pipe 48. The cleaning liquid is then ejected from the nozzles of the first nozzle 45, the second nozzle 47, and the third nozzle 51. The cleaning liquid is sprayed from the two second nozzles 47 onto the beer bottle 35, rinsing the lower portion of the sidewalls of the bottle. Simultaneously, the beer bottle 35 and the turntable 32 rotate. As the beer bottle 35 rotates, the cleaning liquid ejected from the nozzles of the first nozzle 45 rinses the outer circumference of the bottle neck. The cleaning liquid ejected from the nozzles of the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 47 fully rinses the sidewalls of the beer bottle 35.
[0082] After the cover 2 is closed, the mouth of the beer bottle 35 in the holder corresponds to the third nozzle 51, and the cleaning liquid sprayed from the third nozzle 51 can enter the interior of the beer bottle 35 and rinse the interior of the beer bottle 35. After the beer bottle 35 is rinsed, since the mouth of the beer bottle 35 is tilted downward, it is possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from remaining in the beer bottle 35.
[0083] After rinsing the beer bottles 35, the cover 2 is opened. When the first placement plate 18, the second placement plate 19 and the third placement plate 21 are parallel, the pull rope 38 is tightened, the arc rod 40 is rotated back to the arc groove, and then the beer bottles 35 in the bracket can be taken out.
[0084] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
