Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of baby bottle cleaning machines, specifically relating to a baby bottle cleaning machine that integrates drying and water inlet drive. Background Technology

[0002] Baby bottle cleaning machines are designed to automatically clean baby bottles. However, most baby bottle cleaning machines on the market only have the function of cleaning bottles, resulting in a limited cleaning method. Because water stains remain on the bottles, bacteria can continue to grow. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to disclose a baby bottle cleaning machine that integrates drying and water inlet drive, so as to solve the technical problem of the single cleaning method in the existing baby bottle cleaning machines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention discloses a baby bottle washing machine integrating drying and water inlet drive, comprising: The main unit chassis includes an installation box and a water tank. The installation box has a receiving cavity, which is divided into an upper cleaning cavity and a lower installation cavity by a partition. The water tank has a liquid containing cavity. The drying mechanism, located in the lower mounting cavity, includes an impeller, a housing, and a heat source. The heat source is located in the housing. The outlet of the impeller is connected to the housing. The housing has a fluid outlet connected to the upper cleaning cavity. A water supply mechanism, located in the lower mounting cavity, is used to deliver the cleaning liquid in the water tank to the impeller; A drive mechanism, connected to the impeller, drives the impeller to rotate, thereby enabling the flow of cleaning fluid and / or airflow into the fluid outlet.

[0005] As an optional implementation, the partition and the impeller are arranged in a horizontal direction, and the partition is provided with a first communication port that connects to the suction port of the impeller.

[0006] As an optional implementation, the suction port is lower than the upper surface of the first communication port.

[0007] As an optional implementation, the drive mechanism is located below the impeller, and the outlet of the impeller is positioned higher than the inlet of the housing; The baby bottle washing machine also includes a docking structure, which connects the outlet of the impeller and the inlet of the box.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the docking structure and the main unit chassis are integrally formed.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the partition, the mounting box, and the water tank are integrally formed, and the side wall of the mounting box, the water tank, and part of the partition surround the liquid-containing cavity.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the water supply mechanism includes a pump body, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, an inlet connector, and an outlet connector. The inlet connector is connected to the inlet pipe, and the outlet connector is connected to the outlet pipe. Both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the pump body. The partition is provided with a first pair of interfaces and a second pair of interfaces. The water inlet connector is set corresponding to the first pair of interfaces, and the water outlet connector is set corresponding to the second pair of interfaces.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the baby bottle washing machine further includes a spraying mechanism, which has a main channel and spray nozzles connected to the fluid outlet and passes through the partition. The housing includes a mounting section and a docking section located on top of the mounting section. The mounting section docks with the outlet of the impeller and houses the heat source. The docking section and the spraying mechanism are detachably connected.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the bottle cleaner further includes a drainage mechanism, which is movably disposed relative to the box body to adjust the opening size of the fluid outlet and to drain the cleaning liquid from the box body when the fluid outlet is blocked.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the drainage mechanism includes a telescopic drive and a sealing structure. The telescopic drive drives the sealing structure to perform telescopic movement in the vertical direction to adjust the size of the opening of the fluid outlet.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the baby bottle washing machine integrating drying and water inlet drive of the present invention are as follows: The integrated drying and water inlet baby bottle washing machine of the present invention is equipped with a water supply mechanism to deliver cleaning liquid from the water tank to the impeller. Driven by the drive mechanism, the impeller rotates, and the cleaning liquid is driven to flow towards the container and discharged from the fluid outlet of the container. Since the fluid outlet is connected to the upper cleaning chamber, when the cleaning liquid flows out from the upper cleaning chamber, it can clean the baby bottles placed in the upper cleaning chamber. At the same time, the rotation of the impeller can also generate airflow. After the baby bottles are cleaned, the impeller drives the airflow to flow through the heat source in the container. After being heated by the heat source, the airflow flows out from the fluid outlet, thereby achieving the effect of drying water stains on the baby bottles and preventing residual water stains on the baby bottles from causing bacterial growth. Therefore, the integrated drying and water inlet baby bottle washing machine in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects: (1) It can not only clean the baby bottle, but also dry the baby bottle, ensuring the cleanliness of the baby bottle; (2) The cleaning liquid during cleaning and the airflow during drying are driven by the same impeller and drive mechanism. Only one drive source is used for driving, which makes the entire bottle cleaning machine that integrates drying and water intake compact and realizes the miniaturization of the whole machine. (3) With only one drive source, it is easy to troubleshoot the cause of the fault when the whole machine fails, which facilitates the repair when the fault occurs in the future. (4) By setting a partition in the main unit box, the cleaning and installation spaces are separated. The upper cleaning chamber is used to spray water to clean the baby bottle, and the lower installation chamber is used to install the drive mechanism, drying mechanism and water supply mechanism. Since the area above the partition is the cleaning liquid area, the waterproof effect is achieved, and the cleaning liquid is prevented from damaging the circuit components.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 18 This invention provides a baby bottle washing machine 100 that integrates drying and water inlet drive, including a main unit 10, a drying mechanism 20, a water supply mechanism 30, and a drive mechanism 40.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The main unit 10 includes a mounting box 11 and a water tank 12. The mounting box 11 has a receiving cavity 13, which is divided into an upper cleaning cavity 131 and a lower mounting cavity 132 by a partition 17. The water tank 12 has a liquid-containing cavity 121 for holding cleaning liquid. The drying mechanism 20 is located in the lower mounting cavity 132 and includes an impeller 21, a housing 22 and a heat source 23. The heat source 23 is located in the housing 22. The outlet 214 of the impeller 21 is connected to the housing 22. The housing 22 has a fluid outlet 221 connected to the upper cleaning cavity 131. The water supply mechanism 30 is located in the lower mounting cavity 132 and is used to transport the cleaning liquid in the water tank 12 to the impeller 21. The drive mechanism 40 is connected to the impeller 21 to drive the rotation of the impeller 21 to realize the outflow of cleaning liquid and / or airflow into the fluid outlet 221.

[0026] The aforementioned integrated drying and water inlet baby bottle washing machine 100 is equipped with a water supply mechanism 30 that delivers the cleaning liquid from the water tank 12 to the impeller 21. Driven by the drive mechanism 40, the impeller 21 rotates, driving the cleaning liquid to flow towards the container 22 and discharge it from the fluid outlet 221 of the container 22. Since the fluid outlet 221 is connected to the upper cleaning chamber 131, when the cleaning liquid flows out from the upper cleaning chamber 131, it can clean the baby bottles 200 placed in the upper cleaning chamber 131. At the same time, the rotation of the impeller 21 can also generate airflow. After the baby bottles 200 are cleaned, the impeller 21 drives the airflow to flow through the heat source 23 in the container 22. After being heated by the heat source 23, the airflow flows out from the fluid outlet 221, thereby achieving the effect of drying the water stains on the baby bottles 200 and preventing residual water stains on the baby bottles 200 from causing bacterial growth. Therefore, the integrated drying and water inlet baby bottle washing machine 100 in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects: (1) It can not only clean the baby bottle 200, but also dry the baby bottle 200, ensuring the cleanliness of the baby bottle 200; (2) The cleaning liquid during cleaning and the airflow during drying are driven by the same impeller 21 and drive mechanism 40. Only one drive source is used for driving, so that the entire bottle washing machine 100 that integrates drying and water intake has a compact structure and realizes the miniaturization of the whole machine. (3) With only one drive source, it is easy to troubleshoot the cause of the fault when the whole machine fails, which facilitates the repair when the fault occurs in the future. (4) By setting a partition 17 in the main unit box 10, the cleaning and installation spaces are separated. The upper cleaning chamber 131 is used to spray water to clean the baby bottle 200, and the lower installation chamber 132 is used to install the drive mechanism 40, the drying mechanism 20 and the water supply mechanism 30. Since the area above the partition 17 is the area with cleaning liquid, the waterproof effect is achieved, and the cleaning liquid is prevented from damaging the circuit components.

[0027] For ease of explanation, the integrated drying and water inlet bottle washing machine 100 will be referred to as a bottle washing machine in the following text. The bottle 200 of this application may include a bottle body 210 and a nipple 220.

[0028] In this example, when setting up the main unit box 10, the water tank 12 can be integrated with the installation box 11, or the water tank 12 can be detached from the installation box 11, so that the water tank 12 can be disassembled for cleaning or filling with water later.

[0029] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the mounting box 11 and the water tank 12 are integrally formed. The side wall of the mounting box 11, the water tank 12, and part of the partition 17 form a liquid-containing cavity 121. Thus, the integrally formed main unit box 10 facilitates the rapid molding of the entire main unit box 10 and avoids the need for subsequent reassembly. In other embodiments, a supporting step can be provided on one side of the mounting box 11, and the water tank 12 can be detachably placed on the step, thereby facilitating the subsequent disassembly of the water tank 12 for filling with water and cleaning.

[0030] In order to facilitate the installation of each mechanism, the main unit 10 in this embodiment also includes a bottom cover 15. The bottom of the mounting box 11 is provided with an opening 14, and the bottom cover 15 is located at the opening 14. After each mechanism is installed in the lower mounting cavity 132, the bottom cover 15 is then closed.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In this embodiment, the impeller 21 and the partition 17 are arranged horizontally. The partition 17 has a first communication port 171 connecting the upper cleaning chamber 131 and the lower mounting chamber 132. The suction port 211 of the impeller 21 is arranged corresponding to the first communication port 171. Thus, since the partition 17 is arranged horizontally, the water supply mechanism 30 can directly discharge the cleaning liquid on the partition 17 without the need for a pipe to be directly connected to the suction port 211 of the impeller 21, thereby simplifying the water supply structure. The cleaning liquid flows on the partition 17 and generates a suction force under the drive of the impeller 21. The cleaning liquid gradually flows towards the impeller 21 and flows through the box 22, and finally is discharged from the fluid outlet 221. The partition 17 can generate a guiding effect on the cleaning liquid, simplifying the internal structure of the bottle washing machine.

[0032] Understandably, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In order to facilitate the flow of cleaning fluid in the direction of impeller 21, the suction port 211 of impeller 21 is lower than the upper surface of the first connecting port 171. Thus, under the rotation of impeller 21, a suction force is generated, which makes the cleaning fluid flow in the direction of the first connecting port 171, and the cleaning fluid can flow smoothly into impeller 21.

[0033] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 When installing the impeller 21, the impeller 21 includes an outer cover 212 and blades 213 disposed inside the outer cover 212. The outer cover 212 and the partition plate 17 are integrally formed, and the outer cover 212 is provided with a discharge port 214 corresponding to the impeller 21. In this way, by integrally forming the outer cover 212 and the partition plate 17, the space for installing the blades 213 can be formed when the entire main unit box 10 is formed, avoiding the step of connecting the outer cover 212 of the impeller 21 to the partition plate 17 again, thus simplifying the assembly steps of the entire machine.

[0034] When the cleaning fluid is supplied to the suction port 211 of the impeller 21 through the water supply mechanism 30, it can be supplied directly to the suction port 211, for example, the drain port 31 of the water outlet pipe 34 of the water supply mechanism 30 is aligned with the suction port 211; or the water supply mechanism 30 can supply water to the impeller 21 indirectly. For example, in this embodiment, when the water supply mechanism 30 supplies water, the drain port 31 of the water supply mechanism 30 is connected to the upper cleaning chamber 131. The cleaning fluid flows through the drain port 31 to the surface of the partition 17, first covering the surface of the partition 17, and then, driven by the impeller 21, the cleaning fluid passes through the inner cavity 225 of the box 22 and the main channel 51 in sequence, and finally sprays out from the fluid outlet 221.

[0035] Specifically, when delivering the cleaning fluid from water tank 12 to the surface of partition 17, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9The water supply mechanism 30 includes a pump body 32, an inlet pipe 33, an outlet pipe 34, an inlet connector 35, and an outlet connector 36. The inlet connector 35 is connected to the inlet pipe 33, and the outlet connector 36 is connected to the outlet pipe 34. Both the inlet pipe 33 and the outlet pipe 34 are connected to the pump body 32. The partition 17 is provided with a first pair of interfaces 172 and a second pair of interfaces 173. The inlet connector 35 is set corresponding to the first pair of interfaces 172, and the outlet connector 36 is set corresponding to the second pair of interfaces 173. Thus, by setting the first pair of interfaces 172 and the second pair of interfaces 173 on the partition 17, the water supply mechanism can supply water to the pump body 32. The 73 configuration facilitates the connection of the inlet pipe 33 and outlet pipe 34 to the inlet connector 35 and outlet connector 36, respectively. It eliminates the need for excessively long pipe extensions into the liquid chamber 121 and towards the impeller 21's suction port 211. In this way, the pump body 32 draws the cleaning fluid from the liquid chamber 121 and discharges it through the second pair of ports 173 onto the partition 17. The fluid flows on the partition 17 and towards the impeller 21. Under the suction of the impeller 21, it flows towards the housing 22 and is ejected from the fluid outlet 221, thus cleaning the baby bottle 200. In other embodiments, the outlet pipe 34 of the water supply mechanism 30 can be directly aligned with the impeller 211's suction port as needed to supply water, thereby improving water supply efficiency.

[0036] Understandably, since the impeller 21 is arranged horizontally, the drive mechanism 40 is located below the impeller 21. This allows the drive mechanism 40, positioned below the impeller 21, to fully utilize the installation space, thus miniaturizing the entire bottle washing machine. In other embodiments, the impeller 21 can be oriented in a different direction, with the drain outlet 31 of the water supply mechanism 30 aligned with the suction inlet of the impeller 21.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 9 When the impeller 21 is set horizontally, and the drive motor 41 needs to be set below the impeller 21, in order to avoid the setting of the drive motor 41 increasing the overall height of the machine too much, in this embodiment, the outlet 214 of the impeller 21 is set higher than the mounting part 222 of the box 22. In order to realize the docking between the outlet 214 of the impeller 21 and the box 22, the bottle washing machine also includes a docking structure 60. The docking structure 60 is connected between the outlet 214 of the impeller 21 and the inlet 225 of the box 22. In this way, by setting the docking structure 60, the impeller 21 can be arranged at a higher position, which makes it easier to set the drive motor 41 below the impeller 21 and avoid the setting of the drive motor 41 affecting the overall height of the machine.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the docking structure 60 and the main unit 10 are integrated, which enables the rapid prototyping of the entire main unit 10. When installing the entire bottle washing machine, the impeller 21 is installed in the mounting slot 174. The fourth pair of interfaces 1741 provided in the mounting slot 174 are directly connected to the docking structure 60, thereby enabling the rapid assembly of the entire machine.

[0039] In this embodiment, the docking structure 60 includes a first docking cylinder 61 and a second docking cylinder 62 arranged perpendicularly to each other. The first docking cylinder 61 is connected to the outlet 214 of the impeller 21, and the second docking cylinder 62 is connected to the mounting part 222. Furthermore, to ensure the docking between the second docking cylinder 62 and the mounting part 222, the docking structure 60 also includes a first sealing ring 63. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first sealing ring 63 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second docking cylinder 62. In this way, the connection between the second docking cylinder 62 and the mounting part 222 is sealed by the first sealing ring 63, so as to avoid leakage of cleaning fluid or airflow.

[0040] Furthermore, to ensure the connection area between the second docking cylinder 62 and the mounting portion 222, a third docking cylinder 224 extends from the mounting portion 222 toward the second docking cylinder 62, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the third docking cylinder 224 and the mounting part 222 are integrally formed. The second docking cylinder 62 drives the first sealing ring 63 to be inserted into the third docking cylinder 224. The third docking cylinder 224 and the second docking cylinder 62 have sufficient contact area, which improves the connection strength and sealing effect between them. In other embodiments, the third docking cylinder 224 can also be set inside the mounting part 222, thereby reducing the height of the entire bottle washing machine in the vertical direction.

[0041] Please see Figures 4 to 6 and 14 to Figure 17To improve the cleaning effect on the baby bottle 200, the baby bottle washing machine 100 of this embodiment also includes a spray mechanism 50 and a shelf 70. The spray mechanism 50 is provided with a main channel 51 and a spray nozzle 52 connected to the fluid outlet 221. The main channel 51 is connected to the shelf 70. The box body 22 includes a mounting part 222 and a docking part 223 provided on the top of the mounting part 222. The mounting part 222 docks with the outlet 214 of the impeller 21 and is equipped with a heat source 23. The docking part 223 is connected to the spray mechanism 50. Thus, the way of setting the docking part 223 on the top of the mounting part 222 can not only adapt to the The installation height of the impeller 21 is designed to avoid excessively increasing the overall height of the main unit when the drive mechanism 40 is connected below the impeller 21. Simultaneously, the docking part 223 is designed to match the installation height of the spray mechanism 50, and its shape can be adapted to fit the shape of the spray mechanism 50. This facilitates the installation of the spray mechanism 50 with the mounting part 222 and the partition plate 17, without requiring an excessively long extension of the spray mechanism 50 along the bottom of the main unit housing 10. For example, this facilitates subsequent disassembly and connection of the spray mechanism 50 relative to the docking part 223 and the partition plate 17. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The partition 17 is provided with a through hole 175 for the spray mechanism 50 to pass through.

[0042] The structure of the spraying mechanism 50 is as follows: Figures 14 to 16 As shown, it includes a detachably connected main shaft 53 and a spray arm 54 (for example, the spray arm 54 is mounted on the main shaft 53). The main shaft 53 is arranged in the vertical direction and passes through the partition 17, with one end located above the partition 17. The spray arm 54 is connected to the end of the main shaft 53 located above the partition 17. The main shaft 53 is provided with a first sub-flow channel 511, and the spray arm 54 is provided with a second sub-flow channel 512. The first sub-flow channel 511 and the second sub-flow channel 512 are combined to form the main flow channel 51. The spray arm 54 is provided with a spray nozzle 52. The first sub-flow channel 511 is connected to the second sub-flow channel 512 and the inner cavity 225 of the box 22, specifically connected to the docking part 223. The second sub-flow channel 512 is connected to the spray nozzle 52. The main shaft 53 is provided with a third connecting port 55 that is connected to the connecting channel 71 of the shelf 70. When the cleaning liquid and airflow flow through the main shaft 53, they can not only be discharged from the spray arm 54, but also flow onto the shelf 70 through the third connecting port 55. They can flow through the shelf 70 to impact the inner wall of the bottle 210 and the nipple 220, achieving a better cleaning and drying effect.

[0043] To improve the spraying effect, the spraying mechanism 50 in this embodiment includes two sets of spraying arms 54. The two sets of spraying arms 54 are separated in the axial direction of the main shaft 53. One set of spraying arms 54 is used to rinse and dry the outer surface of the bottle 210 and the nipple 220 from top to bottom, and the other set of spraying arms 54 cleans and dries the inner wall of the bottle 210 and the nipple 220 in an upward direction.

[0044] The structure of the shelf 70 is as follows: Figure 17 As shown, the shelf 70 can support not only the bottle 210, but also the nipple 220, so that the bottle 210 and the nipple 220 can be suspended in the air, for example, suspended in an upside-down manner, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the bottle 200 and the nipple 220.

[0045] Specifically, please refer to Figure 17 The inner wall of the shelf 70 is provided with a connecting channel 71 that communicates with the flow channel of the spray mechanism 50. Thus, the cleaning liquid or airflow from the spray mechanism 50 can flow out through the connecting channel 71 and impact the inner and outer walls of the bottle 200 and nipple 220, achieving a cleaning and drying effect on the bottle 210 and nipple 220. For example, a support arm 72 can be provided on the shelf 70 to support the bottle 200 and nipple 220, while also allowing cleaning liquid and airflow to flow out, thereby improving the cleaning and drying effects.

[0046] Please see Figures 4 to 7 as well as Figures 10 to 13 The above is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drying mechanism 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The drying mechanism 20 includes an impeller 21, a box 22 connected to the outlet 214 of the impeller 21, and a heat source 23 disposed in the box 22. Specifically, the heat source 23 is disposed in the mounting part 222. Thus, when the impeller 21 rotates, it drives the airflow to flow into the mounting part 222. Under the heating action of the heat source 23, the cold airflow becomes a hot airflow and is sprayed out from the spray nozzle 52.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heat source 23 can be a PTC heating element or a graphene heating element, or a similar heating structure. Specifically, the heat source 23 in this embodiment is a PTC heating element. To achieve sealing of the PTC heating element, it can be sealed with adhesive to prevent damage from contact with cleaning fluid. The PTC heating element is connected to heat dissipation fins, and heat exchange is achieved through the heat dissipation fins and airflow or liquid.

[0048] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figures 10 to 12 as well as Figure 18In one embodiment of the present invention, since the dirty cleaning liquid needs to be discharged after one cycle of cleaning the baby bottle 200, the baby bottle cleaning machine of this embodiment also includes a drainage mechanism 80. The drainage mechanism 80 is movably arranged relative to the box body 22 to adjust the opening size of the fluid outlet 221, and can discharge the cleaning liquid in the box body 22 when the fluid outlet 221 is blocked. The drainage mechanism 80 has a water inlet 81 that can communicate with the inner cavity 225 of the box body 22, and is provided with a drainage channel 82 so that when the drainage mechanism 80 is blocked from the fluid outlet 221, the water inlet 81 can communicate with the inner cavity 225 of the box body 22. Thus, when the drainage mechanism 80 is blocked from the fluid outlet 221, the cleaning liquid in the box body 22 can be discharged. When the system is opened, the fluid outlet 221 is connected to the inner cavity 225 of the housing 22, allowing cleaning fluid and airflow to flow out through the fluid outlet 221. When the drainage mechanism 80 closes the fluid outlet 221, the water inlet 81 is connected to the inner cavity 225 of the housing 22, allowing the cleaning fluid in the inner cavity 225 of the housing 22 to enter the drainage channel 82 through the water inlet 81 and be discharged through the drainage channel 82. After one cleaning and drainage cycle, cleaning fluid is introduced into the main shaft 53 again for a second cleaning. By using multiple drainage and multiple water supply cycles, a better cleaning effect is achieved. At the same time, all cleaning fluid in the entire circulating water circuit is discharged, preventing it from remaining in the pipes and causing bacterial growth.

[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 10 to 13 as well as Figure 18 The drainage mechanism 80 includes a telescopic drive 83 and a sealing structure 84. The telescopic drive 83 drives the sealing structure 84 to perform telescopic movement in the vertical direction to adjust the opening size of the fluid outlet 221. The box body 22 includes a mounting part 222 and a docking part 223. The mounting part 222 is equipped with a heat source 23 and docks with the impeller 21. The docking part 223 is provided with the fluid outlet 221 and is columnar, used to cooperate with the sealing structure 84. In this way, the columnar docking part 223 has a smaller size. The sealing structure 84 is also set in a columnar shape to facilitate the cooperation between the sealing structure 84 and the docking part 223 to achieve sealing or disengagement. At the same time, the docking part 223 can have a certain extension length in the vertical direction. When the sealing structure 84 seals the fluid outlet 221, the sealing structure 84 can have a certain contact area with the docking part 223 to ensure the sealing effect.

[0050] Since the bottle washing machine in this embodiment also includes a spray mechanism 50, the docking part 223 in this embodiment is connected to the spray mechanism 50. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the main shaft 53 of the spray mechanism 50 and the docking part 223 are docked to each other to realize the flow of fluid in the direction of the main shaft 53.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 18 In this embodiment, the sealing structure 84 is installed in the box 22 from bottom to top and moves vertically relative to the box 22 and the spray mechanism 50. The telescopic drive member 83 and the sealing structure 84 extend vertically and are arranged side by side horizontally. The sealing structure 84 is provided with a water inlet 81 and a drainage channel 82. The drainage mechanism 80 includes a telescopic transmission assembly 85. The telescopic drive member 83 is arranged horizontally, and the telescopic transmission assembly 85 is connected between the telescopic drive member 83 and the sealing structure 84. Under the drive of the telescopic drive member 83, the telescopic transmission assembly 85 can drive the sealing structure 84 to move vertically. In this way, the telescopic transmission assembly 85 converts the vertical driving force of the telescopic drive member 83 into the vertical movement of the sealing structure 84, and can realize the parallel arrangement of the telescopic drive member 83 and the sealing structure 84 in the horizontal direction, avoiding the increase in the overall height of the machine caused by directly connecting the two in the vertical direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive component 83 can be a drive motor 41, while in other embodiments it can be an electromagnet or an electric cylinder, or other structure with a telescopic shaft. The sealing structure 84 passes through the mounting portion 222 and cooperates with the docking portion 223. When the docking portion 223 is sealed, the sealing cleaning liquid or airflow is directed towards the spraying mechanism 50.

[0053] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 18 The telescopic transmission assembly 85 includes a screw 851 and a push rod 852. The screw 851 is connected to the telescopic drive member 83 and is threadedly connected to the push rod 852. The push rod 852 is connected to the sealing structure 84 and extends horizontally to drive the sealing structure 84 to move vertically. That is, the threaded connection between the screw 851 and the push rod 852 means that when the screw 851 rotates under the drive of the telescopic drive member 83, it can drive the push rod 852 to move vertically, thereby driving the sealing structure 84 to move vertically.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic drive 83 is arranged in an inverted manner with the telescopic shaft facing downward, thereby making full use of the space located on one side of the box 22 and reducing the height of the entire bottle washing machine in the vertical direction.

[0055] Please see Figure 18This is a schematic diagram of the sealing structure 84 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a piston cylinder 841 and a first sealing sleeve 842 and a second sealing sleeve 843 disposed on the outer wall of the piston cylinder 841. The first sealing sleeve 842 is disposed at one end of the piston cylinder 841, and the second sealing sleeve 843 is sleeved on the outer wall of the other end of the piston cylinder 841. The first sealing sleeve 842 is used to block or open the fluid outlet 221, and the second sealing sleeve 843 is used to cooperate with the mounting part 222 of the housing 22 to prevent cleaning fluid or airflow from leaking out from the movable connection between the housing 22 and the piston cylinder 841. The area of ​​the piston cylinder 841 where the second sealing sleeve 843 is installed is provided with a water inlet 81.

[0056] It should be noted that you should refer to [link / reference]. Figure 19 In this embodiment, the first sealing sleeve 842 can partially or completely close the fluid outlet 221. The first sealing sleeve 842 includes a main body 8421 and a retaining ring 8422 disposed circumferentially around the outer periphery of the main body 8421. The main body 8421 extends into the docking part 223, and the outer diameter of the main body 8421 is smaller than the inner diameter of the docking part 223. When the retaining ring 8422 abuts against the port of the docking part 223, the fluid outlet 221 is closed. When there is a gap between the retaining ring 8422 and the port of the docking part 223, the fluid can flow back from the main shaft 53 and be discharged through the piston cylinder 841, avoiding the situation where water remains in the main shaft 53 and causes bacterial growth after the docking part 223 is fully closed when the water supply is stopped. At the same time, when the heat source 23 is heating, the hot airflow can continue to flow into the main shaft 53 to dry the main shaft 53.

[0057] Please see Figures 4 to 7 To improve the cleaning effect of the baby bottle washing machine, the drive mechanism 40 can not only drive the impeller 21 to rotate, but also synchronously drive the spray mechanism 50 to rotate. Thus, the rotating spray mechanism 50 has a better cleaning and drying effect on the baby bottle 200. Therefore, the drive mechanism 40 includes not only the drive motor 41, but also the transmission gear set 42. The drive motor 41 is connected to the impeller 21, and the transmission gear set 42 is connected between the drive motor 41 and the main shaft 53 of the spray mechanism 50. Under the drive of the drive motor 41, the main shaft 53 can also drive the spray arm 54 to rotate, so as to achieve spray cleaning and heating drying of the baby bottle 200 by rotation, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0058] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The transmission gear set 42 includes a driving gear 421 and a driven gear 422. The driven gear 422 and the driving gear 421 can be connected by a gear set transmission. The driving gear 421 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 41, and the output shaft of the drive motor 41 is connected to the impeller 21. The driven gear 422 is connected to the spray mechanism 50, and the spray mechanism 50 and the driven gear 422 are detachably connected. Under the rotation of the drive motor 41, not only can the cleaning liquid and / or airflow be driven, but the driving force is also transmitted to the spray mechanism 50 to drive the rotation of the spray mechanism 50, so as to achieve the cleaning and drying of the baby bottle 200 by rotation.

[0059] When connecting the driven gear 422 and the spray mechanism 50, the driven gear 422 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the main shaft 53 of the spray mechanism 50, so that when the driven gear 422 rotates, it can drive the main shaft 53 to rotate; or the driven gear 422 can be inserted into the cavity of the spray mechanism 50.

[0060] Specifically, please refer to Figures 14 to 16 To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the spray mechanism 50, in this embodiment, when the driven gear 422 and the main shaft 53 of the spray mechanism 50 are connected, the driven gear 422 extends into the main shaft 53 and engages with the main shaft 53; the main shaft 53 and the driven gear 422 are plugged into each other. Thus, after the installation of each part is completed, the main shaft 53 of the spray mechanism 50 is inserted into the driven gear 422 to achieve a detachable connection between the two, which facilitates the assembly of each part. Specifically, the bottle washing machine also includes a support plate 90, which connects to the docking part 223 of the box body 22. The support plate 90 is equipped with a driven gear 422 and allows the driven gear 422 to rotate. For example... Figures 14 to 16 As shown, when the main shaft 53 is installed with the support plate 90 and the driven gear 422, the driven gear 422 includes an upper transmission part 4221 and a lower transmission part 4222. The outer diameter of the upper transmission part 4221 is smaller than the outer diameter of the lower transmission part 4222. The lower transmission part 4222 is supported by the support plate 90. The upper transmission part 4221 extends into the main shaft 53. The inner wall of the main shaft 53 is provided with teeth 531. The upper transmission part 4221 and the teeth 531 mesh with each other. The drive mechanism 40 also includes a second sealing ring 43. The second sealing ring 43 is sleeved on the outside of the main shaft 53. The side of the upper transmission part 4221 facing the upper cleaning cavity 131 is provided with a first limiting wall 4223. The main shaft 53 drives the second sealing ring 43 to be sandwiched between the first limiting wall 4223 and the upper transmission part 4221. In this way, the rotation of the main shaft 53 driven by the driven gear 422 can be realized, and the seal between the main shaft 53 and the support plate 90 can be realized. Understandably, the driven gear 422 is provided with docking channels that are respectively connected to the fluid outlet 221 and the main flow channel 51.

[0061] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the fluid flow during the cleaning or drying of a baby bottle 200 using a baby bottle washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the sealing structure 84 is open to the fluid outlet 221, the first sealing sleeve 842 is disengaged from the end of the docking portion 223, and the inlet 81 and the inner cavity 225 of the mounting portion 222 are blocked. The cleaning fluid or airflow flows from the first connecting port 171, driven by the impeller 21, towards the docking structure 60, and sequentially flows through the mounting portion 222 and the docking portion 223 of the box body 22. It then flows through the fluid outlet 221 to the main shaft 53, and finally flows through the first sub-channel 511 and the second sub-channel 512, respectively, and is discharged from the corresponding spray port 52. The airflow path and the cleaning fluid path are the same when drying the baby bottle 200.

[0062] Please see Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the cleaning fluid in the entire containment cavity 13 needs to be drained, the water supply mechanism 30 is disconnected, the sealing structure 84 moves upward (towards the main shaft 53), the first sealing sleeve 842 is inserted into the docking part 223, blocking the communication between the fluid outlet 221 and the inner cavity 225 of the box 22, the water inlet 81 is connected to the inner cavity 225 of the box 22, the cleaning fluid falling from the baby bottle 200 is driven by the impeller 21 to flow towards the box 22, and finally discharged to the outside of the main unit 10 through the water inlet 81, the drain channel 82 and the drain pipe 86; the water in the main shaft 53 can also fall freely and be discharged through the drain channel 82. It should be noted that the impeller 21 is set corresponding to the first connecting port 171 on the partition 17, and through the setting of the drainage mechanism 80, the cleaning liquid in the box 22 and the upper cleaning chamber 131 can be discharged. At the same time, the water supply mechanism 30 can draw the cleaning liquid in the water tank 12 to the box 22 and discharge it through the drainage mechanism 80. This process can achieve the flushing effect of the pipe. After the cleaning liquid is discharged, the drying action is performed. Since the pipe is flushed, the growth of bacteria in the pipe and the box 22 is avoided.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
