Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more particularly to a blank washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure surface cleanliness and smoothness, ceramic blanks need to be cleaned before sintering. Currently, existing blank washing machines use chain conveyors and spray cleaning, which has at least the following problems: 1. The direction of the spray water is difficult to control, making it difficult to thoroughly clean blanks with special shapes or complex surface patterns; 2. The blank surface is in direct contact with the spray water, leaving a large amount of residual moisture that requires time to dry and may adversely affect the shape of the blank. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a blank washing machine that has strong cleaning power and does not affect the blank forming.

The guide mechanism is located at the operating station and controls the clamping units to clamp or release materials. The base is located directly below the clamping units and rotatably mounted on the turntable. The second drive mechanism is fixed on the frame and simultaneously drives the base at positions other than the operating station. The cleaning mechanism is fixed on the frame and located at the cleaning station, and is used to clean the outer surface of the material.
[0006] Furthermore, the base includes a placement seat and a pulley fixed under the placement seat. A bearing is fitted at the connection position between the placement seat and the pulley, and the base is mounted on the turntable via the bearing. The second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor, a drive wheel, a drive belt, and multiple auxiliary wheels. The second drive motor is fixed on the frame, and its output end is fixedly connected to the drive wheel. The multiple auxiliary wheels are rotatably mounted on the frame and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive wheel. The drive belt is annularly connected to the drive wheel, the auxiliary wheels, and the pulleys at other positions except the operating station.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two cleaning stations, each equipped with a cleaning mechanism. Each cleaning mechanism includes a bottle cleaning unit, which includes a first mounting base. The first mounting base has a first linear motion mechanism, which has a movable first water receiving tray. The first water receiving tray has a rotatable bottle cleaning component and an auxiliary cleaning component. The first linear motion mechanism moves the bottle cleaning component closer to and away from the material to be cleaned, which is held by the clamping unit. The shape of the bottle cleaning component matches the shape of the bottle. The bottle cleaning component is driven to rotate by a first driving unit. The auxiliary cleaning component contacts one side of the bottle cleaning component and its shape matches the shape of the bottle cleaning component. The first water receiving tray has a second linear motion mechanism, which moves the auxiliary cleaning component closer to and away from the bottle cleaning component. The first water receiving tray has a first water spray pipe that sprays water onto the bottle cleaning component.
[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a bottle mouth cleaning unit, which includes a second mounting base. The second mounting base is provided with a second water receiving tray and a vertical third linear moving mechanism. The third linear moving mechanism is provided with a second drive unit that can move up and down. The output end of the second drive unit is fixedly connected to a bottle mouth cleaning component. The second drive unit drives the bottle mouth cleaning component to rotate. The third linear moving mechanism moves the bottle mouth cleaning component closer to and away from the material to be cleaned, which is held by the clamping unit. The lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component brushes the bottle mouth of the material. The third linear moving mechanism is provided with a fourth linear moving mechanism, which is provided with an auxiliary brushing component. The fourth linear moving mechanism moves the auxiliary brushing component up and down and closer to or away from the lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component. The first water receiving tray is provided with a second spray pipe that sprays water onto the bottle mouth cleaning component.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping unit includes a slide rail, a slider, a spring, a fixing block, a clamping block, and a soft positioning plug. The slide rail is vertically fixed on the turntable, the slider is sleeved on the slide rail, the fixing block is fixed to the lower part of the slide rail, the spring is fixed between the slider and the fixing block, the clamping block is fixed to the outside of the slider, the soft positioning plug is fixed on the clamping block, the base is located directly below the soft positioning plug, and the guide mechanism is located inside the clamping unit and is used to push the slider to move up and down along the slide rail.
[0010] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes rollers and a guide rail. The rollers are rotatable and fixed inside the slider. The guide rail is arc-shaped and fixed on the frame. The guide rail includes an integral upper guide plate, an arc plate, and a lower guide plate. The arc plate is disposed between the upper guide plate and the lower guide plate. During the rotation of the turntable, the slider can roll sequentially along the upper guide plate, the arc plate, and the lower guide plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixed frame is fixed on the frame, and a support frame is fixed at the bottom of the fixed frame. The guide rail is fixed to one side of the support frame. The slider includes a left slider and a right slider that overlap each other. The left slider and the right slider are fixed together by a locking member. When the left slider and the right slider are overlapped, a guide hole is formed in the middle for the slide rail to pass through.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping block is fixed to the slider by a locking member, a first guide rod is fixed on both sides of the slider, a second guide rod is fixed on both sides of the fixing block, there are two springs, and mounting rings are fixed at both ends of the springs, with the two mounting rings at both ends of the springs respectively sleeved on the first guide rod and the second guide rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the first drive mechanism includes a first drive motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, a chain, and a cam divider. The first drive motor is fixed on the frame, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the drive gear. The chain is disposed between the drive gear and the driven gear. The driven gear is fixed to the input end of the cam divider. The output end of the cam divider is fixedly connected to the turntable. The housing of the cam divider is fixed on the frame.
[0014] Furthermore, several of the clamping units are distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the turntable, and the number of clamping units is the same as the number of divisions of the cam divider.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0016] This invention achieves intermittent rotation of the clamping unit by setting a first driving mechanism and a turntable. When the clamping unit rotates, the material is conveyed in a ring to the operating station and the cleaning station. When the clamping unit is stationary, the operator places and retrieves the material at the operating station and cleans the outer surface of the material at the cleaning station. By setting the clamping unit and the guiding mechanism, the material is firmly fixed in the position of the clamping unit, which facilitates subsequent cleaning work. By setting a second driving mechanism and a base, the material is rotated at the cleaning station to complete the cleaning of the outer surface of the material.
[0017] This invention uses bottle body cleaning components and bottle mouth cleaning components to thoroughly clean the outer surface of the material. The spray water is not sprayed directly onto the material, but rather onto the bottle body cleaning components and bottle mouth cleaning components, thus reducing the impact of the spray water on the preform.

[0030] To make the technical problems solved by the invention, the technical solutions and the beneficial effects clearer, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the present invention provides a washing machine, including a frame 1, a first drive mechanism 2, a turntable 3, a clamping unit 4, a guide mechanism 5, a base 6, a second drive mechanism 7, and a cleaning mechanism 8. The first drive mechanism 2 is fixed on the frame 1 and is used to drive the turntable 3. The turntable 3 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. There are multiple clamping units 4 arranged in a ring on the turntable 3. The frame 1 is provided with an operating station and a cleaning station in sequence along the rotation direction of the turntable 3. The guide mechanism 5 is fixed at the operating station and is used to control the clamping units 4 to clamp or release the material. The base 6 is located directly below the clamping units 4 and is rotatably mounted on the turntable 3. The second drive mechanism 7 is fixed on the frame 1 and is used to simultaneously drive the base 6 at other positions except the operating station. The cleaning mechanism 8 is fixed on the frame 1 and is located at the cleaning station. The cleaning mechanism 8 is used to clean the outer surface of the material.
[0032] At the operating station, the guide mechanism 5 controls the clamping unit 4 to clamp or release. The operator removes the material from the clamping unit 4 or places the material at the position of the clamping unit 4. The first drive mechanism 2 intermittently drives the turntable 3. When the material to be cleaned rotates with the turntable 3 to the cleaning station, the turntable 3 stops rotating. The second drive mechanism 7 drives the material at the cleaning station to rotate. At the cleaning station, the cleaning mechanism 8 cleans the entire outer surface of the material during the rotation process.
[0033] refer to Figure 5 The base 6 includes a placement seat 61 and a pulley 62 fixed under the placement seat 61. A bearing 63 is fitted at the connection between the placement seat 61 and the pulley 62. The base 6 is mounted on the turntable 3 via the bearing 63. (Reference) Figure 4 The second drive mechanism 7 includes a second drive motor 71, a drive wheel 72, a drive belt 73, and multiple auxiliary wheels 74. The second drive motor 71 is fixed on the frame 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 72. The multiple auxiliary wheels 74 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive wheel 72. The drive belt 73 is annularly connected to the drive wheel 72, the auxiliary wheels 74, and pulleys 62 at other positions except the operating station.
[0034] The second drive mechanism 7 drives the pulley 62 of the cleaning station, which in turn drives the placement seat 61 and the material on the placement seat 61 to rotate together. The second drive mechanism 7 avoids the pulley 62 of the operating station, that is, the material at the operating station does not rotate, which makes it convenient for the operator to place the material on the base 6 and remove the material from the base 6.
[0035] refer to Figure 3 There are two cleaning stations, and each cleaning station is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 8. (See reference) Figure 6The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a bottle cleaning unit 81, which includes a first mounting base 811. A first linear motion mechanism 812 is mounted on the first mounting base 811. A movable first water receiving tray 813 is mounted on the first linear motion mechanism 812. A rotatable bottle cleaning component 814 and an auxiliary cleaning component 815 are mounted on the first water receiving tray 813. The first linear motion mechanism 812 moves the bottle cleaning component 814 closer to and away from the material to be cleaned, which is held by the clamping unit 4. The shape of the bottle cleaning component 814 matches the shape of the bottle. The bottle cleaning component 814 is driven to rotate by the first drive unit 816. The auxiliary cleaning component 815 contacts one side of the bottle cleaning component 814 and its shape matches the shape of the bottle cleaning component 814. The first water receiving tray 813 is provided with a second linear movement mechanism 817. The auxiliary cleaning component 815 is rotatably mounted on the second linear movement mechanism 817. The second linear movement mechanism 817 drives the auxiliary cleaning component 815 to move closer to and away from the bottle cleaning component 814. The first water receiving tray 813 is provided with a first water spray pipe 818 that sprays water onto the bottle cleaning component 814.
[0036] The first linear motion mechanism 812 is implemented using an electric screw or a manual screw, etc. The first water receiving tray 813 is driven by the first linear motion mechanism 812. The position of the bottle cleaning component 814 on the first water receiving tray 813 is adjustable. The bottle cleaning component 814 should be adjusted to a position close to and in contact with the bottle body. The bottle cleaning component 814 is driven by the first drive unit 816. As a preferred embodiment, the rotation speed of the bottle cleaning component 814 is the same as the rotation speed of the material, thereby ensuring the stability of the material during cleaning. The bottle cleaning component 814 can be made of materials such as sponge, as long as it can effectively remove dirt from the surface of the material. The first drive unit 816 includes a first motor and a chain transmission mechanism. The first motor is fixed on the first water receiving tray 813, and the chain transmission mechanism transmits the power of the first motor to the bottle cleaning component 814.
[0037] The auxiliary cleaning component 815 does not require power to drive it. The auxiliary cleaning component 815 contacts the bottle body cleaning component 814. When the bottle body cleaning component 814 rotates, it will drive the auxiliary cleaning component 815 to rotate. When the position of the bottle body cleaning component 814 is adjusted, the position of the auxiliary cleaning component 815 is adjusted by the second linear movement mechanism 817. As a preferred embodiment, the second linear movement mechanism 817 is implemented by a cylinder or the like. A brush or similar device can be installed on the auxiliary cleaning component 815 to remove dirt from the bottle body cleaning component 814. The spray position and direction of the first water spray pipe 818 can be adjusted according to the position of the bottle body cleaning component 814. The first water spray pipe 818 sprays water onto the bottle body cleaning component 814, which on the one hand facilitates the bottle body cleaning component 814 to clean the dirt on the surface of the material, and on the other hand facilitates the auxiliary cleaning component 815 to brush off the dirt on the bottle body cleaning component 814. A water pump and a water tank 83 are connected to the outside of the first water spray pipe 818, and a drain outlet for wastewater is opened on the first water receiving tray 813.
[0038] refer to Figure 7 The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a bottle mouth cleaning unit 82, which is mainly used to clean the area below the bottle mouth above the bottle body and in the opposite direction of the bottle body's curvature. The bottle mouth cleaning unit 82 includes a second mounting base 821, on which a second water receiving tray 822 and a vertical third linear movement mechanism 823 are provided. The third linear movement mechanism 823 is provided with a second drive unit 824 that can move up and down. The output end of the second drive unit 824 is fixedly connected to a bottle mouth cleaning component 825, and the second drive unit 824 drives the bottle mouth cleaning component 825 to rotate. The third linear movement mechanism 823 drives the bottle mouth cleaning component 825 to approach and move away from the material to be cleaned held by the clamping unit 4. The lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component 825 brushes the bottle mouth of the material. The third linear movement mechanism 823 is provided with a fourth linear movement mechanism 826. The fourth linear movement mechanism 826 is provided with an auxiliary brushing component 827. The fourth linear movement mechanism 826 moves up and down with the auxiliary brushing component 827 and approaches or moves away from the lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component 825. The first water receiving tray 813 is provided with a second water spray pipe 828 that sprays water onto the bottle mouth cleaning component 825.
[0039] The third linear movement mechanism 823 is implemented by an electric screw or a manual screw. The second drive unit 824 includes a second motor. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the bottle mouth cleaning component 825. The second drive unit 824 drives the bottle mouth cleaning component 825 to rotate. The bottle mouth cleaning component 825 can be made of materials such as sponge, as long as it can remove dirt from the surface of the material. The fourth linear movement mechanism 826 is implemented by a cylinder or the like. The auxiliary brushing component 827 contacts the lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component 825 to brush away dirt from the lower surface of the bottle mouth cleaning component 825. The spray position and direction of the second water spray pipe 828 can be adjusted according to the change of the position of the bottle mouth cleaning component 825. The second water spray pipe 828 sprays water onto the bottle mouth cleaning component 825. A water tank 83 or the like is connected to the outside of the second water spray pipe 828. A drain outlet for draining wastewater is opened on the second water receiving tray 822.
[0040] refer to Figure 8 The clamping unit 4 includes a slide rail 41, a slider 42, a spring 43, a fixing block 44, a clamping block 45, and a soft positioning plug 46. The slide rail 41 is vertically fixed on the turntable 3. The slider 42 is sleeved on the slide rail 41. The fixing block 44 is fixed at the lower part of the slide rail 41. The spring 43 is fixed between the slider 42 and the fixing block 44. The clamping block 45 is fixed on the outside of the slider 42. The soft positioning plug 46 is fixed on the clamping block 45. The base 6 is located directly below the soft positioning plug 46. The guide mechanism 5 is located inside the clamping unit 4 and is used to push the slider 42 to move up and down along the slide rail 41.
[0041] At the operating station, the guide mechanism 5 pushes the slider 42 upward along the slide rail 41. The clamping block 45 and the soft positioning plug 46 move upward together with the slider 42. The operator places and picks up materials on the base 6. After the operation is completed, the turntable 3 continues to rotate. When the clamping unit 4 leaves the operating station, the guide mechanism 5 pushes the slider 42 downward. With the cooperation of the spring 43, the soft positioning plug 46 returns to its original position, and the material is confined between the soft positioning plug 46 and the base 6. The material position is fixed, and the material continues to rotate with the turntable 3, completing the cleaning work at the cleaning station. The bottom of the soft positioning plug 46 is conical and fits inside the bottle opening of the material without affecting the material's rotation.
[0042] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The guiding mechanism 5 includes a roller 51 and a guide rail 52. The roller 51 is rotatable and fixed inside the slider 42. The guide rail 52 is arc-shaped and fixed on the frame 1. The guide rail 52 includes an integral upper guide plate 521, an arc plate 522 and a lower guide plate 523. The arc plate 522 is located between the upper guide plate 521 and the lower guide plate 523. During the rotation of the turntable 3, the slider 42 can roll along the upper guide plate 521, the arc plate 522 and the lower guide plate 523 in sequence.
[0043] The roller 51 on the clamping unit 4 at the operating station rolls along the upper guide plate 521 to the arc plate 522. The height of the roller 51 increases, and the roller 51 drives the slider 42 to move upward along the slide rail 41, thereby achieving the purpose of the guide mechanism 5 pushing the clamping block 45 upward. The pushing action of the guide mechanism 5 is realized with the rotation of the turntable 3. No additional electric drive is required, which saves costs and is convenient. Moreover, the number of clamping units 4 at the operating station can be adjusted according to the arc length of the arc plate 522, making it more convenient for the operator to place and pick up materials.
[0044] Furthermore, a fixed frame 524 is fixed on the frame 1, and a support frame 525 is fixed at the bottom of the fixed frame 524. The guide rail 52 is fixed on one side of the support frame 525. The slider 42 includes a left slider 421 and a right slider 422 that overlap each other. The left slider 421 and the right slider 422 are fixed together by a locking member 47. When the left slider 421 and the right slider 422 are overlapped, a guide hole is formed in the middle for the slide rail 41 to pass through.
[0045] The guide rail 52 is fixed in position at the operating station and does not rotate with the turntable 3. In other words, the operating station is fixed in position, and the operator only needs to operate from there. The left slider 421 and right slider 422 are fixed by locking member 47. Slider 42 is easy to assemble. The edge of the slide rail 41 should have a protruding guide ridge, and the guide hole should have a hole ridge that matches the guide ridge, thus making the sliding more stable.
[0046] refer to Figure 8 The clamping block 45 is fixed to the slider 42 by the locking member 47. First guide rods 48 are fixed to both sides of the slider 42, and second guide rods 49 are fixed to both sides of the fixing block 44. There are two springs 43, with mounting rings 410 fixed to both ends. The two mounting rings 410 at both ends of the spring 43 are respectively sleeved on the first guide rods 48 and the second guide rods 49. The springs 43 are fixed between the slider 42 and the fixing block 44 by the first guide rods 48 and the second guide rods 49, making installation simple.
[0047] refer to Figure 11 The first drive mechanism 2 includes a first drive motor 21, a drive gear 22, a driven gear 23, a chain 24, and a cam divider 25. The first drive motor 21 is fixed on the frame 1, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the drive gear 22. The chain 24 is located between the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23. The driven gear 23 is fixed at the input end of the cam divider 25. The output end of the cam divider 25 is fixedly connected to the turntable 3. The housing of the cam divider 25 is fixed on the frame 1.
[0048] The cam divider 25 is a high-precision rotary device that can achieve the required dynamic-to-static ratio and number of divisions. By setting the cam divider 25, the turntable 3 can rotate intermittently, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials and material processing.
[0049] Furthermore, several clamping units 4 are distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the turntable 3, and the number of clamping units 4 is the same as the number of divisions of the cam divider 25.
[0050] refer to Figure 10 The tops of several slide rails 41 are simultaneously fixed to the ring frame 9, which secures all the slide rails 41 together, facilitating the assembly of the slider 42 onto the turntable 3. A ring baffle 10 is also fixed to the turntable 3, located inside the clamping unit 4. The ring baffle 10 prevents waste materials and wastewater from splashing into the turntable 3 during processing, reducing cleaning steps.
[0051] Working principle: S1. Adjust the positions of the bottle body cleaning component 814, auxiliary cleaning component 815, bottle mouth cleaning component 825, auxiliary brushing component 827, first water spray pipe 818, and second water spray pipe 828 according to the shape of the material; S2. The first drive mechanism 2 intermittently drives the turntable 3. When the turntable 3 rotates, it drives the clamping unit 4 to rotate accordingly. When the turntable 3 rotates to the operating position, the roller 51 on the clamping unit 4 gradually rolls along the upper guide plate 521 to the arc plate 522. The roller 51 drives the slider 42 to move upward along the slide rail 41. The clamping block 45 moves upward with the slider 42. The distance between the clamping block 45 and the turntable 3 increases, and the turntable 3 stops rotating. S2. The operator removes the cleaned material from the placement seat 61 and then places the material to be cleaned back on the placement seat 61. At the same time, the two sets of cleaning mechanisms 8 clean the outer surface of the material at the cleaning station twice. It should be noted that the cleaning mechanism 8 may be equipped with a proximity switch. The cleaning mechanism 8 will start cleaning when the material approaches the switch. S3. After completing step S2, the turntable 3 continues to rotate. The turntable 3 gradually rolls from the arc plate 522 to the lower guide plate 523, and then leaves the lower guide plate 523. The material is then clamped between the soft positioning plug 46 and the base 6. Step S2 is repeated to continuously clean the material in a cyclical manner.
[0052] This invention achieves intermittent rotation of the clamping unit 4 by setting a first driving mechanism 2 and a turntable 3. When the clamping unit 4 rotates, the material is conveyed in a ring to the operating station and the cleaning station. When the clamping unit 4 is stationary, the operator places and retrieves the material at the operating station and cleans the outer surface of the material at the cleaning station. By setting the clamping unit 4 and the guiding mechanism 5, the material is firmly fixed in the position of the clamping unit 4, which facilitates subsequent cleaning work. By setting a second driving mechanism 7 and a base 6, the material is rotated at the cleaning station to complete the cleaning work on the outer surface of the material.
[0053] The present invention uses bottle body cleaning component 814 and bottle mouth cleaning component 825 to thoroughly clean the outer surface of the material. The spray water is not sprayed directly onto the material, but rather onto the bottle body cleaning component 814 and bottle mouth cleaning component 825, thereby reducing the impact of the spray water on the blank.
[0054] 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 shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
