Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bottle cap washing equipment, in particular to a bottle cap disinfecting and washing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the beverage is filled in the production line, the bottle cap needs to be installed on the bottle mouth of the container, so as to seal the beverage in the container. In order to ensure aseptic hygiene, the bottle cap also needs to be washed and disinfected by the disinfecting and washing device before installation.

[0003] In the prior art, the disinfecting and washing device includes a conveying track and a washing tray. The input end of the conveying track is connected to a cap sorter, which can continuously supplement the bottle caps into the conveying track, so that the bottle caps in the conveying track are continuously pushed forward by the newly supplemented bottle caps, thereby continuously conveying the bottle caps into the interior of the washing tray. The interior of the washing tray is provided with a plurality of spray pipes for spraying disinfectant, so as to disinfect and wash the bottle caps supplemented and conveyed by the conveying track by the disinfectant.

[0004] For the specific technology of the washing tray, please refer to the patent document with publication number CN 101822848 B, which discloses a bottle cap disinfecting machine. The bottle caps are moved one by one along an involute track after entering the washing tray, and the spray pipes spray disinfectant towards the bottle caps, so that the bottle caps can complete disinfection and washing in a smaller space, reducing the volume of the disinfecting and washing device.

[0005] During production, the conveying track needs to be regularly inspected by the staff, so as to detect whether the bottle caps in the conveying track have orientation abnormalities, so as to reduce the occurrence of the situation that part of the bottle caps have their openings facing the spray pipes while part of the bottle caps have their openings facing away from the spray pipes after entering the washing tray, so as to ensure the disinfecting and washing effect of the openings of the bottle caps.

[0006] For the related technology in the above, the regular inspection by the staff has an inevitable window period, making it difficult for the staff to timely learn about the orientation abnormalities of the bottle caps. SUMMARY

[0007] In order to facilitate the staff to timely learn about the orientation abnormalities of the bottle caps, the present application provides a bottle cap disinfecting and washing device.

[0008] The bottle cap disinfecting and washing device provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution: A bottle cap disinfecting and washing device, comprising a rack, a conveying track, a detection turntable, and a turntable detector; The conveying track is installed on the rack, and the conveying track is used to convey the bottle caps downward to the washing tray. The conveying track includes two conveying side rails, which are oppositely arranged. The conveying side rails are provided with side rail conveying grooves for conveying the bottle caps to be washed, and the side rail conveying grooves extend in the vertical direction; The detection turntable is rotatably installed on the frame, and is provided with a plurality of detection protrusions which are distributed in the circumferential direction around the axis of the detection turntable and form detection grooves between two adjacent detection protrusions. The two conveying side rails form a side rail detection groove which extends in the vertical direction, and the two side rail conveying grooves are both communicated with the side rail detection groove, the detection protrusions enter or exit the side rail detection groove through the rotation of the detection turntable, and the detection protrusion which extends into the opening of the bottle cap will drive the detection turntable to rotate when the bottle cap moves along the conveying track. The turntable detector is installed on the frame, and is used for detecting the rotation speed of the detection turntable, and the turntable detector will issue an alarm signal through the alarm when the rotation speed of the detection turntable is lower than the expected value.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the bottle caps with consistent orientations are conveyed along the conveying track, the detection protrusions of the detection turntable extend into the openings of the bottle caps, and the detection turntable is poked by the bottle caps, so that the detection turntable rotates as expected.

[0010] When the orientation of the bottle cap is abnormal, that is, the opening of the bottle cap deviates from the detection turntable, the detection turntable cannot extend into the opening of the bottle cap, so that the detection turntable is not easy to rotate under the poking of the bottle cap, so that the rotation speed of the detection turntable is lower than the expected value, and the alarm issues an alarm signal to notify the staff to handle, so that the staff can timely know the situation of the abnormal orientation of the bottle cap.

[0011] Optionally, the detection turntable is provided without power input.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, it is beneficial to reduce the structural complexity of the bottle cap disinfection and washing device, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the bottle cap disinfection and washing device.

[0013] Optionally, the detection turntable is provided with power input, and the detection turntable is driven by a turntable motor, the turntable motor is installed on the frame, and the rotor of the turntable motor is installed on the detection turntable through a torque detector.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the rotating motor matches the conveying speed of the bottle cap to drive the detection rotating disc to rotate, and the bottle cap is not easy to receive a large resistance when the opening of the bottle cap faces the detection rotating wheel. When the opening of the bottle cap faces away from the detection rotating wheel and appears an abnormality, the rotation of the detection protrusion is blocked by the bottle cap, thereby the rotation of the detection rotating wheel is resisted by a large resistance and the abnormality is detected by the torque detector, so that the bottle cap facing abnormality can be accurately known in combination with the rotating disc detector, and the false alarm condition is reduced.

[0015] Optionally, the conveying side rail is provided with a shunt wheel, a shunt motor and a pushing piece, the shunt wheel is rotationally matched with the conveying side rail, the shunt wheel is provided with a plurality of shunt grooves, the plurality of shunt grooves are all provided in a penetrating manner along the radial direction of the shunt wheel, and the plurality of shunt grooves are rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the shunt wheel, and the plurality of shunt grooves are interconnected; The plurality of shunt grooves are sequentially disconnected from or connected to the side rail conveying grooves through the rotation of the shunt wheel; The shunt motor is used to drive the shunt wheel to rotate; The pushing piece is used to push the bottle cap away from the shunt groove which is not connected to the side rail conveying groove.

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, when the bottle cap facing abnormality is detected, the shunt motor drives the shunt wheel to rotate, thereby the shunt groove containing the bottle cap is disconnected from the side rail conveying groove, and the bottle cap facing abnormality is pushed away by the pushing piece. After the last bottle cap is pushed away, the next bottle cap enters the adjacent other shunt groove from the side rail conveying groove to continue conveying, thereby the self-detection and self-troubleshooting are realized, and the work burden of the staff is further reduced.

[0017] Optionally, the pushing piece is elastically mounted on the conveying side rail, and the pushing piece is provided with a driven inclined surface, the shunt wheel drives the pushing piece away from or close to the shunt groove which is not connected to the side rail conveying groove through the driven inclined surface when the shunt wheel rotates.

[0018] By adopting the technical scheme, the pushing piece is driven away from the shunt groove and stores elastic force when the shunt wheel rotates, and the pushing piece releases the elastic force to hit the bottle cap when the shunt groove containing the bottle cap rotates to the position of the pushing piece, thereby the bottle cap is popped out from the shunt groove and pushed away, and the structure is simple and effective.

[0019] Optionally, the pushing piece is mounted on the conveying side rail through an elastic spring plate.

[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, compared with a linear spring, the elastic spring plate has a smaller volume and a better elasticity, and is beneficial to improve the reliability of the pushing piece.

[0021] Optionally, the shunt wheel is provided with one-way rotation, and the opening of the bottle cap which is disconnected from the side rail conveying groove under the action of the pushing piece is provided in a downward direction.

[0022] By adopting the technical scheme, the pushing piece is facilitated to push the bottle cap away from the diversion groove, and the next bottle cap is less likely to be clamped into the opening of the previous bottle cap, so that the bottle cap is less likely to be pushed out.

[0023] Optionally, the two diversion wheels are arranged opposite to each other. When the two adjacent diversion grooves are sequentially cut off or communicated with the side rail conveying groove through the rotation of the diversion wheel, the horizontal distance between the two diversion wheels is first reduced and then increased.

[0024] By adopting the technical scheme, when the diversion wheel rotates to move the opening direction of the bottle cap abnormally, the two diversion wheels are facilitated to press the bottle cap, so that the bottle cap is less likely to be separated from the diversion groove and scattered. Meanwhile, after the diversion wheel rotates to the required angle, the two diversion wheels are facilitated to move away from the bottle cap, so that the bottle cap has a larger moving space to be pushed away by the pushing piece.

[0025] Optionally, the conveying side rail is provided with an annular curved groove, the annular curved groove is closed at the head and tail, the annular curved groove is provided with a plurality of curved segments, and the bending directions of two adjacent curved segments are opposite. The diversion wheel is provided with a plurality of sliding protrusions, and the plurality of sliding protrusions are slidably matched with the annular curved groove.

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, when the diversion wheel rotates, the sliding protrusions periodically move along the annular curved groove and slide along the horizontal direction through the plurality of curved segments, and the structure is relatively compact.

[0027] Optionally, the bottle cap disinfecting and flushing device further comprises a flushing disc, and the flushing disc is used for spraying and disinfecting the bottle cap conveyed into the flushing disc.

[0028] By adopting the technical scheme, the bottle cap is facilitated to be disinfected and flushed.

[0029] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the bottle caps with consistent orientations are conveyed along the conveying rail, the detection protrusions of the detection disc are inserted into the openings of the bottle caps, and the detection disc is facilitated to be rotated by the bottle caps, so that the detection disc rotates as expected. When the orientations of the bottle caps are abnormal, that is, the openings of the bottle caps are away from the detection disc, the detection protrusions of the detection disc are not inserted into the openings of the bottle caps, so that the detection disc is less likely to rotate under the action of the bottle caps, and the rotation speed of the detection disc is lower than expected. The alarm is facilitated to send an alarm signal to notify the staff to process, so that the staff can learn the abnormal orientation of the bottle cap in time. 2. When the bottle cap is detected to be abnormal, the shunt motor drives the shunt wheel to rotate, thereby causing the shunt groove containing the bottle cap to separate from the side rail conveying groove, and the abnormal bottle cap is pushed away by the pushing member. After the last bottle cap is pushed away, the next bottle cap enters the adjacent shunt groove from the side rail conveying groove for continuous conveying, thereby realizing self-detection and self-troubleshooting, and further reducing the work burden of the staff.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-11 This application will be described in further detail.

[0043] Example 1: This application discloses a bottle cap disinfection and rinsing device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The bottle cap disinfection and rinsing device includes a rinsing tray 1, a frame, a conveyor track, a detection turntable 3, and a turntable detector 4. The rinsing tray 1 is used to spray and disinfect bottle caps conveyed into it, and the rinsing tray 1 can be any known device capable of disinfecting and cleaning bottle caps. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rinsing tray 1 has a rinsing chamber inside, and several spray pipes are fixedly installed on the top of the rinsing chamber. These spray pipes are circumferentially distributed around the axis of the rinsing tray 1, and are replenished with disinfectant through a top supply pipe. Each spray nozzle on the spray pipe faces downwards to facilitate disinfection and rinsing of the bottle caps located at the bottom of the spray pipe. When the bottle caps are inside the rinsing chamber, the openings of the bottle caps face upwards to allow disinfectant to be sprayed through the openings of the bottle caps via the spray pipes, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the bottle cap openings that directly contact the beverage.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The frame is fixedly installed on the top of the rinsing tray 1. The conveyor rail is fixedly installed on the top of the frame and is arranged vertically. The input and output ends of the conveyor rail are connected to the cap feeder and the rinsing tray 1, respectively, so that the cap feeder can convey bottle caps to the rinsing tray 1. The bottle caps are pushed forward by the supplementary bottle caps and under the action of gravity, and are sequentially conveyed to the rinsing chamber inside the rinsing tray 1 for rinsing.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The conveying track includes two conveying side rails 2, which are arranged opposite each other and both are vertically oriented. A side rail conveying groove 201 is formed on one side of each conveying side rail 2 opposite to the other, extending vertically and penetrating through it. The side rail conveying groove 201 makes the cross-section of the conveying side rail 2 concave, and the side rail conveying grooves 201 of the two conveying side rails 2 are arranged opposite each other to allow the two sides of the bottle cap to move stably and sequentially along the two side rail conveying grooves 201 in a vertically downward direction. A gap is provided between the two conveying side rails 2, and a side rail detection groove 202 is formed between them. The side rail detection groove 202 provides space for the movement of the detection turntable 3, allowing the outer circumference of the detection turntable 3 to extend through the side rail detection groove 202 into the space between the two conveying side rails 2 and contact the bottle cap.

[0046] Reference Figure 3, the detection turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the frame by bearings and a turntable support, and the turntable support is horizontally adjustably connected to the frame by a key groove and a bolt. The outer side of the detection turntable 3 is provided with a plurality of detection protrusions 31, which are uniformly distributed around the axis of the detection turntable 3, and a detection groove 32 is formed between two adjacent detection protrusions 31, so that the detection turntable 3 can be rotated by actuating different detection protrusions 31. The detection protrusions 31 can enter or exit the side rail detection groove 202 by rotating the detection turntable 3, so that the detection protrusions 31 can contact and extend into the opening of the bottle cap, so that the bottle cap will actuate the detection protrusions 31 extending into the opening when moving vertically downward, thereby driving the detection turntable 3 to rotate at a stable speed.

[0047] Referring to Figure 3 , the turntable detector 4 is installed on the frame, and the turntable detector 4 is used to detect the rotation speed of the detection turntable 3. When the turntable detector 4 detects that the rotation speed of the detection turntable 3 is lower than expected, an alarm signal will be sent out by the alarm, so as to timely inform the staff that there is an abnormal situation of the bottle cap orientation, so as to facilitate the staff to check and handle.

[0048] In the embodiment of the application, the type of the turntable detector 4 is an optical sensor. The turntable detector 4 can detect whether there is an object and an obstruction in front of it, and when the turntable detector 4 detects that there is an obstruction or no obstruction in front of it for a long time, an audible and visual signal will be sent out by the alarm. Referring to Figure 3 , the turntable detector 4 is horizontally directed towards the detection protrusions 31 and the detection grooves 32 of the detection turntable 3.

[0049] If the bottle cap conveyed by the conveying track does not have an abnormal orientation at the position of the detection turntable 3, the detection protrusions 31 extending into the opening of the bottle cap will be actuated by the detection turntable 3, thereby driving the detection turntable 3 to rotate at an expected speed, so that the detection protrusions 31 and the detection grooves 32 alternately pass in front of the turntable detector 4 at an expected speed, thereby causing the turntable detector 4 to alternately detect that there is an obstruction and no obstruction in front of it.

[0050] If the bottle cap conveyed by the conveying track has an abnormal orientation at the position of the detection turntable 3, the detection protrusions 31 will not be able to extend into the opening of the bottle cap, causing the detection turntable 3 to rotate at a speed lower than expected or temporarily stop rotating, thereby causing the detection protrusions 31 and the detection grooves 32 to fail to alternately pass in front of the turntable detector 4 at an expected speed. At this time, the turntable detector 4 detects that the speed of the detection turntable 3 is lower than expected, and then an audible and visual signal is sent out by the alarm to notify the relevant staff to check in time.

[0051] Referring to Figure 4The conveyor side rail 2 is equipped with a diverting wheel 21, a diverting motor 22, and a pushing component 23. The two conveyor side rails 2 have the same structure and corresponding engagement method; that is, each of the two conveyor side rails 2 is equipped with its own diverting wheel 21, diverting motor 22, and pushing component 23. The diverting wheel 21 is rotatably engaged with one side of the conveyor side rail 2, and the two diverting wheels 21 rotatably engaged with the two conveyor side rails 2 are arranged facing each other. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The flow divider 21 has two flow divider grooves 211 with a length greater than or equal to the diameter of the bottle cap, and the two flow divider grooves 211 are interconnected. The two flow divider grooves 211 are also rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the flow divider 21, and the included angle between the two flow divider grooves 211 is 90°. Of course, in some embodiments, more than two flow divider grooves 211 can be provided, and the included angle between two adjacent flow divider grooves 211 can be modified accordingly. The flow divider grooves 211 are arranged through the radial direction of the flow divider 21, and the edges of the flow divider grooves 211 are rounded to facilitate the sliding of the bottle cap and the pusher 23 into the flow divider grooves 211.

[0052] The diverting wheel 21 is driven by the diverting motor 22. Specifically, the stator of the diverting motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the conveying side rail 2, and the mover of the diverting motor 22 is coaxially mounted on the diverting wheel 21. In this embodiment, the diverting wheel 21 rotates 90° in one direction each time, so that the two diverting channels 211 can be sequentially separated from or connected to the side rail conveying channel 201 by the rotation of the diverting wheel 21. That is, initially one diverting channel 211 is vertically connected to the side rail conveying channel 201, while the other diverting channel 211 is horizontally separated from the side rail conveying channel 201. After the diverting wheel 21 rotates 90° under the action of the diverting motor 22, the diverting channel 211, which was originally vertically connected to the side rail conveying channel 201, becomes horizontally separated from the side rail conveying channel 201. Conversely, the diverting channel 211, which was originally horizontally separated from the side rail conveying channel 201, becomes vertically connected to the side rail conveying channel 201. This allows two adjacent bottle caps to enter two different diverting channels 211, facilitating the diversion and discharge of abnormally oriented bottle caps located in the horizontally arranged diverting channel 211. Furthermore, the openings of abnormally oriented bottle caps in the horizontally arranged diverting channel 211 are downward-facing to prevent subsequent bottle caps from getting stuck in the openings of preceding bottle caps.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 The pusher 23 is elastically mounted to the conveyor side rail 2 via an elastic spring plate 231. Specifically, both ends of the elastic spring plate 231 are fixedly mounted to the conveyor side rail 2 and the pusher 23, respectively. The elastic spring plate 231 is made of metal and has a through groove to provide good elasticity. The bottom of the pusher 23 has a driven inclined surface, which faces downwards towards the diverter wheel 21.

[0054] When the diverting wheel 21 rotates in one direction, causing the opening to face the abnormally horizontal bottle cap, the diverting wheel 21 will act on the pusher 23 through the driven inclined surface, causing the pusher 23 to move away from the transverse diverting channel 211 that is not connected to the side rail conveying channel 201. When another diverting channel 211 is connected to the side rail conveying channel 201, the pusher 23 is released, causing the elastic spring plate 231 to release its elastic force and act on the pusher 23, causing the pusher 23 to approach the transverse diverting channel 211 that is not connected to the side rail conveying channel 201. Thus, the pusher 23 strikes the bottle cap, pushing the bottle cap out of the transverse diverting channel 211. The pushed bottle cap is then transported to the collection point by the discharge track for regular centralized processing by the staff.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 The conveying side rail 2 has an annular curved groove 203, which is closed at both ends, and its axis coincides with the axis of the diverter wheel 21. The annular curved groove 203 has eight curved sections, and the bending directions of two adjacent curved sections are opposite. Specifically, in this embodiment, four curved sections that bend away from the side rail conveying groove 201 are designated as first curved sections, while the other four curved sections that bend towards the side rail conveying groove 201 are designated as second curved sections. The four first curved sections are distributed in a "+" shape, while the four second curved sections are distributed in an "X" shape, and the four first curved sections and four second curved sections are circumferentially staggered around the axis of the annular curved groove 203. Therefore, for an object moving along the annular curved groove 203, it will gradually move horizontally towards the side rail conveying groove 201 from a state of horizontal distance away from the side rail conveying groove 201, and then gradually move horizontally away from the side rail conveying groove 201 again.

[0056] Reference Figure 7 The diverter wheel 21 has four sliding protrusions 212, which are evenly distributed circumferentially around the axis of the diverter wheel 21 and slide in conjunction with the annular curved groove 203. When the diverter wheel 21 rotates under the action of the diverter motor 22, causing two adjacent diverter grooves 211 to be successively separated from or connected to the side rail conveying groove 201, the four sliding protrusions 212 will move synchronously along the annular curved groove 203. This causes the diverter wheel 21 to move horizontally closer to or further away from the side rail conveying groove 201 under the action of each curved section, thereby causing the horizontal distance between the two diverter wheels 21 to first decrease and then increase. In addition, the mover of the diverter motor 22 and the diverter wheel 21 slide horizontally in the axial direction through a groove opened in the diverter wheel 21 and a slider fixedly set in the mover, so that the diverter wheel 21 can rotate under the drive of the diverter motor 22 while also sliding horizontally.

[0057] When the distance between the two diversion wheels 21 is large, the bottle cap is more likely to pass through the position of the two diversion wheels 21. When the bottle cap with abnormal opening orientation appears in the position of the diversion wheels 21 and the diversion wheels 21 start to rotate, the distance between the two diversion wheels 21 is reduced and the bottle cap is clamped, so that the bottle cap is not easy to be thrown out and stuck under the action of the rotation of the diversion wheels 21. When the diversion wheels 21 with the bottle cap with abnormal opening orientation are about to rotate to the horizontal state, the distance between the two diversion wheels 21 is increased, which makes the bottle cap with abnormal opening orientation more likely to be pushed out by the pushing piece 23, thereby quickly completing the diversion and discharge of the abnormal bottle cap.

[0058] The implementation principle of the bottle cap disinfection and flushing device of the embodiment 1 of the present application is as follows: Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the bottle caps with consistent orientations are conveyed along the conveying track, the detection protrusions 31 of the detection turntable 3 extend into the openings of the bottle caps, and the detection turntable 3 is poked by the bottle caps, thereby making the detection turntable rotate as expected. When the orientations of the bottle caps are abnormal, that is, the openings of the bottle caps deviate from the detection turntable, the detection protrusions 31 of the detection turntable 3 cannot extend into the openings of the bottle caps, so that the detection turntable 3 is not easy to rotate under the poking of the bottle caps, thereby making the rotation speed of the detection turntable lower than expected. After the detection turntable detector 4 detects the low speed, the alarm device sends an alarm signal to notify the staff to process, thereby facilitating the staff to timely know the situation of the abnormal orientation of the bottle cap.

[0059] Meanwhile, for the bottle cap with abnormal opening orientation that moves to the position of the diversion wheels 21, the two diversion wheels 21 clamp the bottle cap and drive the bottle cap to rotate to the transverse state. In the rotation process, the pushing piece 23 is pushed away from the axis of the diversion wheel 21 under the action of the diversion wheel 21, and the side edge of the diversion wheel 21 blocks the following bottle cap until another diversion groove 211 is connected to the side rail conveying groove 201.

[0060] After the bottle cap rotates to the transverse state, the pushing piece 23 hits the bottle cap from one side of the bottle cap under the elastic force of the elastic spring plate 231, so that the bottle cap is pushed away from the diversion groove 211, and then the next bottle cap enters another diversion groove 211 under the action of gravity and the pushing of other bottle caps to continue conveying, thereby quickly completing detection, alarm, diversion and recovery of conveying.

[0061] Embodiment 2: The embodiment of the present application discloses a bottle cap disinfection and flushing device, which is different from the embodiment 1 in that the diversion wheels 21 are not as described in the embodiment 1 without power input, but are provided with power input, which is as follows: Referring to Figure 11The detection turntable 3 is driven by a turntable motor 5. The stator of the turntable motor 5 is fixedly installed on the frame through the turntable frame body, and the rotor of the turntable motor 5 is installed on the detection turntable 3 through a torque detector 51, so as to drive the detection turntable 3 to stably rotate at a set speed through the turntable motor 5. When the detection turntable 3 is stuck by the bottle cap with an abnormal opening, causing the turntable motor 5 to be difficult to continue rotating due to excessive resistance, the turntable motor 5 is stopped from continuing to rotate through the torque detector 51. Moreover, by electrically connecting the torque detector 51 to the alarm, the results of the turntable detector 4 can be comprehensively determined, thereby reducing the occurrence of false positives.

[0062] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
