Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of beer bottle spraying technology, specifically to a beer bottle cleaning and treatment equipment for beer production. Background Technology
[0002] Beer bottle cleaning is a crucial step in the beer production process. Its purpose is to ensure the hygiene and safety of the bottles, their clean appearance, and their functionality (such as sealing), to remove residual beer, microorganisms, organic matter, and foreign objects, and to prevent bacterial growth or cross-contamination of newly filled products. Existing technology typically involves extending a hose into the inside of a beer bottle for high-pressure rinsing when cleaning it. However, the standardized long-handled nozzle is difficult to adapt to irregularly shaped bottles (narrow-necked bottles, wide-mouth ceramic bottles). Forced matching can lead to poor contact or excessive compression and deformation, thereby damaging the beer bottle. Furthermore, in traditional spray cleaning, the water jet direction is relatively vertical, and the force of the water flow mainly acts on the bottom of the bottle, causing this area to be repeatedly cleaned. However, due to the severe attenuation of the water flow, it is difficult to remove stubborn deposits in the shoulder, neck, and middle section of the inner wall. This is because the vortex ring formed by the vertical water flow only covers the central area of the bottom of the bottle. After the radius exceeds a certain range, a "dead water zone" is formed, thus lacking lateral disturbance force. The liquid mainly exhibits a stable axisymmetric rotation mode (i.e., the solid wall boundary layer effect is dominant), forming a funnel-shaped layered structure. This orderly movement results in extremely weak fluid exchange between the upper and lower layers, making it difficult for fresh cleaning fluid to reach the middle and upper sections of the bottle wall, and thus making it difficult to thoroughly clean the beer bottle. In response, we propose a beer bottle cleaning and processing equipment for beer production to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a beer bottle cleaning and processing device for beer production, which has the following beneficial effects: By setting up multiple micro-compressor nozzles and a circulating conveyor system, the beer bottles can be cleaned in batches. The micro-compressor nozzles can provide high-density coverage for key parts such as the bottle neck threads, inner walls, and bottom, avoiding the waste of water resources caused by traditional coarse spraying. The circulating conveyor system works in sync with the micro-compressor nozzle group to achieve fully automated connection of the entire process of "bottle entry → pre-rinse → main wash → draining", reducing downtime caused by manual intervention. When the micro-compressor nozzle initially performs fixed-position cleaning, it pre-rinses stubborn stains for a certain period of time during the cleaning process. Then, under the action of the positioning rod, the micro-compressor nozzle rotates inside the beer bottle, thereby cleaning the inside of the beer bottle in all directions. The high-pressure micro-jet at the fixed position is concentrated on highly polluted areas such as the bottle neck threads, carbon deposits, and bottom sediments. It uses instantaneous high kinetic energy to break down hardened food residues or tartaric acid crystals. The rotation driven by the positioning rod ensures that the micro-compressor nozzle rotates along the inner wall of the bottle. With the inclined micro-compressor nozzle, 360° scraping cleaning without dead angles is achieved. The clamping rod fixes the position of the beer bottle mouth during the rinsing process, preventing the beer bottles from shifting during batch cleaning and ensuring that the central axis of all bottles is fully aligned with the spray angle of the spray system, thus avoiding insufficient cleaning or over-rinsing in some areas due to offset. The sliding sleeve's lifting mechanism allows the positioning rod to extend into the mouth of the beer bottle, enabling thorough cleaning of the inside. The extension of the positioning rod into the beer bottle also allows for cleaning beer bottles of different shapes and sizes. The wedge and locking block work together to further ensure the fixation of the beer bottle position during the cleaning process, thereby ensuring that the position of the beer bottles being cleaned in batches remains consistent during the cleaning process, and thus ensuring the consistency of the beer bottle cleaning process in batches. In the process of cleaning beer bottles in batches, the wedge and locking block are released by the cooperation of the driven push rod, the circular extrusion part and the limiting block, thereby releasing the locking of the bottle mouth position and completing the batch cleaning of beer bottles, realizing the seamless connection of "cleaning → unlocking → unloading".

[0024] Further embodiments Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The beer bottle cleaning and processing equipment for beer production also includes an unlocking component installed on the conveyor support platform 11; The unlocking component includes a positioning block 41 symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the conveying support platform 11.

[0025] Two positioning blocks 41 are respectively set on both sides of the positioning sleeve 21. The top side surface of the driven push rod 42 is provided with an arc groove whose size is adapted to the connecting rod 38. The driven push rod 42 is located on the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 38. The annular extrusion part 43 and the limiting block 45 on the same positioning block 41 are in contact with each other, and the surface of the annular extrusion part 43 and the limiting block 45 that are in contact with each other are both set as inclined planes.
[0026] Further embodiments Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The beer bottle cleaning and processing equipment for beer production also includes a rotating component mounted on the conveyor support platform 11; The rotating assembly includes a movable groove 51 that runs through the conveying support platform 11. Tooth blocks 52 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to one side wall of the movable groove 51, and driven gears 53 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning rods 23.
[0027] The bottom end of the delivery hose 27 extends through and to the bottom of the driven gear 53, and the tooth block 52 is located on the movement path of the driven gear 53, and the tooth block 52 meshes with the tooth block 53.
[0028] The overall working process and principle of the above embodiments are as follows: Before cleaning the beer bottles, the staff used an external circulating conveyor to transport the beer bottles to be cleaned sequentially from the conveyor support platform 11 to the circulating conveyor equipment 12. Then, the external circulating conveyor and the circulating conveyor equipment 12 worked together to clean the beer bottles in batches. It should be noted that the external circulating conveyor consists of grippers (specifically mechanical grippers) and telescopic parts. While completing the conveying of beer bottles, it can clamp, release, and press down the beer bottles according to a pre-set program, assisting the device in cleaning the beer bottles. The external circulating conveyor, the circulating conveyor 12, and the meshing wheel 13 are all existing technologies for circulating the beer bottles, so they will not be described in detail here. In the above process, the external circulation conveyor clamps the beer bottles in batches with the bottle mouths facing down. Then, the external circulation device presses down to align the bottle mouths with the sliding sleeve 22. At this time, the bottle mouths are located on the upper surface of the sliding sleeve 22 and are in contact with the top surface of the sliding sleeve 22. At this time, the positioning rod 23 is located at the bottle mouth. It should be noted that the size of the positioning rod 23 is smaller than the size of the bottle mouth, so the positioning rod 23 can extend into the inside of the beer bottle. As the beer bottle is pressed down, the sliding sleeve 22 will be simultaneously subjected to pressure and move vertically downward inside the positioning sleeve 21. While the sliding sleeve 22 moves downward, it will compress the support spring 33 set between the sliding sleeve 22 and the positioning sleeve 21. At this time, the driven round rod 32 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding sleeve 22 will follow the driven sleeve and move from the top to the bottom inside the sliding groove 31. At this time, since the locking rod 34 is composed of a diagonal rod, a horizontal rod, a vertical connecting rod and an inclined connecting rod connected to each other, and the surface of the driven round rod 32 is in contact with the inner surface of the locking rod 34, the driven round rod 32 will first move along the surface of the vertical connecting rod during the movement. At this time, the distance between the vertical connecting rod and the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 21 is equal to the length of the driven round rod 32 extending out of the positioning sleeve 21. During this stage, the vertical movement of the driven round rod 32 will not cause the locking rod 34 to move. As the driven rod 32 continues to move, it will come into contact with the inclined connecting rod in the locking rod 34. Since the inclined connecting rod is inclined toward the positioning sleeve 21, the continued movement of the driven rod 32 will cause it to abut against the bottom of the locking rod 34, causing the locking rod 34 to swing outward with its connection point with the outer surface of the top of the positioning sleeve 21 as the fulcrum. At this time, the mouth of the beer bottle located on the top surface of the sliding sleeve 22 just moves to the inside of the top of the locking rod 34. As the sliding sleeve 22 causes the driven rod 32 to continue to move, the top of the locking rod 34 will clamp the outside of the mouth of the beer bottle, thereby fixing the position of the beer bottle. At this time, the snap-fit block 35, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 22, will move down until it reaches the wedge block 37. Since the wedge block 37 is located on the movement trajectory of the snap-fit block 35, and the surface of the snap-fit block 35 that is far away from each other is set as an inclined plane, and the surface of the wedge block 37 that is close to each other is set as an inclined surface that fits with the inclined plane of the snap-fit block 35, as the snap-fit block 35 contacts the surface of the wedge block 37, the snap-fit block 35 will apply pressure to the inclined surface of the wedge block 37, so that the wedge block 37 moves in the positioning sleeve 21 in the direction of moving away from each other. During the movement of the wedge block 37, the lateral movement of the connecting rod 38 will compress the return spring set between the wedge block 37 and the limiting member 36. As the locking block 35 continues to move downward, the wedge block 37 will be pressed into the positioning sleeve 21 by the locking block 35. At this time, the wedge block 37 cannot stop the locking block 35 from continuing to descend. When the locking block 35 and the wedge block 37 disengage, the wedge block 37 will return to its initial position under the elastic rebound of the return spring, thereby blocking the top of the locking block 35 and preventing the locking block 35 from rebounding. At this time, the bottle neck of the beer bottle is fixed, and the sliding sleeve 22 cannot rebound, thus preventing the fixation of the bottle neck of the beer bottle from failing. It should be noted that during the above process, due to the vertical movement of the sliding sleeve 22, the vertical height of the positioning rod 23 remains unchanged. After the sliding sleeve 22 moves downward, the connecting spring 28, which was originally in a contracted state inside the sliding sleeve 22, will lose the pressure from the sliding sleeve 22 and thus extend inside the placement groove 24. It should also be noted that in the initial state, the rocker arm 25 is set vertically inside the placement groove 24, and the outer surface of the rocker arm 25 is in contact with the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 22. Therefore, after the connecting spring 28 extends, it will drive the rocker arm 25, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate outward on the rotating shaft surface fixedly connected inside the placement groove 24. At this time, multiple swing rods 25, which are equidistantly arranged, unfold from the placement slot 24, and the swing rods 25 are inclined to the positioning round rod 23 under the action of the connecting spring 28. In this state, the cleaning fluid for cleaning the inside of the beer bottle is delivered from the inside of the delivery hose 27 to the micro compression nozzle 26, and sprayed out through the micro compression nozzle 26 to clean the inner wall of the beer bottle. It should be noted that the bottom end of the delivery hose 27 is fixedly connected to the output end of the external cleaning fluid storage device, and because the swing arm 25 is equidistant in the vertical direction, the multiple miniature compression nozzles 26 will spray and wash the inside of the beer bottle multiple times. As the circulating conveyor 12 operates, beer bottles are cleaned in batches and circulated. When the meshing gear moves to the tooth block 52 in the circulating conveyor 12, the driven gear 53 will be in a meshing state with the tooth block 52. At this time, the driven gear 53 will rotate inside the sliding sleeve 22 under the action of the tooth block 52, thereby driving the positioning rod 23 fixedly connected to the driven gear 53 to rotate, thereby driving the micro compression nozzle 26 located on the positioning rod 23 to clean the beer bottle inside, thereby reducing the dead angle of spraying. Furthermore, during the above process, after each beer bottle is sprayed and washed at a fixed position by the micro-compressor nozzle 26 for a period of time, the spraying position of the micro-compressor nozzle 26 will change as the positioning rod 23 rotates. As the positioning sleeve 21 moves within the circulating conveyor 12, the driven push rod 42, located on the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 38, will contact the surface of the connecting rod 38. At this time, as the connecting rod 38 follows the movement of the positioning sleeve 21, the connecting rod 38 will push the driven push rod 42 to rotate on the surface of the positioning block 41. During the rotation of the driven push rod 42, the torsion spring 44 will be compressed. At the same time, the driven push rod 42 will drive the annular extruder 43, which is fixedly connected to it, to move synchronously. Since the surfaces of the annular extruder 43 and the limiting block 45 are both set as inclined planes that fit together, and the limiting block 45 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 41, the limiting block 45 cannot move. Therefore, the annular extruder 43 will be driven by the limiting block 45 to move the driven push rod 42 towards the positioning block 41. During the above process, the driven push rod 42 will remain in contact with the surface of the connecting rod 38 during rotation. When the driven push rod 42 moves towards the positioning block 41, it will simultaneously drive the wedge block 37 to move outward inside the positioning sleeve 21 through the semi-circular stop block 39. This will cause the wedge block 37 to release the locking state of the locking block 35. At this time, the locking block 35 will return to its initial position under the rebound of the sliding sleeve 22 and the support spring 33. This will release the clamping state of the locking rod 34 on the outside of the beer bottle mouth. The staff can then remove the cleaned beer bottles, thus completing the batch cleaning of beer bottles. It should be noted that, due to the setting of the semi-circular stop 39, when the driven push rod 42 just starts to rotate, the semi-circular stop 39 will cover the movement trajectory of the driven push rod 42, thereby driving the wedge block 37 to move through the driven push rod 42. When the driven push rod 42 rotates and moves to the notch of the semi-circular stop 39, the driven push rod 42 disengages from the notch, thereby allowing the semi-circular push rod and the wedge block 37 to return to their initial state. Subsequently, the driven push rod 42 will also return to its initial state when it loses the force of the connecting rod 38, until it contacts the connecting rod 38 on the next positioning sleeve 21, thus repeating the cycle. By setting up multiple micro-compressor nozzles 26 and a circulating conveyor device 12, the batch cleaning of beer bottles can be completed. The micro-compressor nozzles 26 can provide high-density coverage for key parts such as bottle neck threads, inner walls, and bottoms, avoiding the waste of water resources caused by traditional rough spraying. The circulating conveyor device 12 and the micro-compressor nozzles 26 are linked synchronously to realize the fully automated connection of the "bottle entry → pre-rinse → main wash → draining" process, reducing the downtime caused by manual intervention. When the micro-compressor nozzle 26 initially performs fixed-position cleaning, it pre-rinses stubborn stains for a certain period of time during the cleaning process. Then, under the action of the positioning rod 23, the micro-compressor nozzle 26 rotates inside the beer bottle, thereby cleaning the inside of the beer bottle in all directions. The high-pressure micro-jet at the fixed position is concentrated on highly polluted areas such as the bottle neck threads, carbon deposits on the neck, and sediment at the bottom. It uses instantaneous high kinetic energy to break down hardened food residues or tartaric acid crystals. The rotation driven by the positioning rod 23 ensures that the micro-compressor nozzle 26 rotates along the inner wall of the bottle. With the inclined micro-compressor nozzle 26, 360° scraping cleaning without dead angles is achieved. Among them, the snap-fit rod 34 fixes the position of the beer bottle mouth during the rinsing process, preventing the beer bottle from shifting position during batch cleaning, ensuring that the central axis of all bottles is completely aligned with the spray angle of the spray system, and avoiding insufficient cleaning or over-rinsing in some areas due to offset. The sliding sleeve 22 is designed to lift, which allows the positioning rod 23 to extend into the mouth of the beer bottle, thereby cleaning the inside of the beer bottle thoroughly. The positioning rod 23 can extend into the inside of the beer bottle to accommodate beer bottles of different shapes and sizes. The cooperation between the wedge block 37 and the locking block 35 further ensures the fixation of the beer bottle position during the cleaning process, thereby ensuring that the position of the beer bottles being cleaned in batches remains consistent during the cleaning process, and thus ensuring the consistency of the beer bottle cleaning process in batches. In the process of cleaning beer bottles in batches, the driven push rod 42, the circular extrusion part 43 and the limiting block 45 cooperate to release the locking state of the wedge block 37 and the locking block 35, thereby releasing the locking of the beer bottle mouth position, thus completing the batch processing of beer bottle cleaning and achieving a seamless connection of "cleaning → unlocking → unloading".
