Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bottle surface cleaning technology, and in particular to a fully automatic cleaning and drying machine suitable for the outer wall of bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Medicine bottles are among the most commonly used devices in drug production and packaging. Common medicine bottles, such as ampoules, vials, oral liquid bottles, and capsule bottles, often have some drug dust adhering to their outer surface after being filled with drugs (antibiotics, anticancer drugs, or toxic substances such as vitamin B12, sugar solutions, and oily substances), and after being capped and cored. This can affect the quality of drug inspection and labeling. With the implementation of the new GMP in 2010, the requirements for cleaning and drying the outer walls of medicine bottles have become increasingly stringent. Therefore, cleaning and drying the outer surface of medicine bottles is particularly important. This ensures that the medicine bottles will not pollute the surrounding environment during packaging, transportation, and storage, and also ensures the safety of workers in the later packaging stages and medical staff in hospitals who come into contact with these drugs.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN201420180850.X, which discloses a vial outer wall cleaning and drying machine. This machine includes: a shell, a cleaning chamber within the shell, a sliding track installed inside the cleaning chamber, water spray holes on the shell communicating with the cleaning chamber, a drying chamber inside the shell, and a compressed air nozzle on the shell communicating with the drying chamber. The cleaning chamber and the drying chamber are connected. The vial outer wall cleaning and drying machine in the aforementioned patent has the following drawbacks: multiple vials must be manually suspended one by one above the track to clean and dry their outer walls, resulting in a cumbersome loading process and low overall cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and to propose a fully automatic cleaning and drying machine for the outer wall of bottles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic cleaning and drying machine for the outer wall of a bottle includes a support 1, a support 2, and a support 3. The top surface of the support 1 is provided with a primary guiding component; the top surface of the support 2 is provided with a secondary conveying component; and the top surface of the support 3 is fixedly connected to a working box, the inside of which a cleaning area and a drying area are arranged sequentially from front to back.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning area includes a water inlet pipe fixedly connected to one side of the work box, two or more high-pressure nozzles fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the channel, and two or more roller brushes rotatably connected to the top surfaces of supports on both sides of the channel, and one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet of the high-pressure nozzle through a conduit.

[0012] Preferably, the drying zone consists of two sets of identical moisture-absorbing components and air-drying components located on both sides of each channel;

[0013] The air drying assembly includes an air knife fixedly connected to the top surface of the support three via a support rod in a relative position, and a fan fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support three via an L-shaped plate, with the output end of the fan connected to the input end of the air knife via a duct.

[0014] Preferably, the moisture-absorbing component includes a symmetrically arranged groove on the top surface of the support three, a threaded column rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the groove, a connecting rod whose two ends are respectively connected to one end of two opposite threaded columns via couplings, a movable plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, a top plate fixedly connected to the top surface of one of the movable plates, two or more sponge wheels rotatably connected to the top surface of the top plate at equal intervals, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top surface of another movable plate, a sponge plate fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and a motor D fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the support three, wherein the output end of the motor D is connected to one end of one of the threaded columns via a connecting shaft, and the inner wall of the movable plate is connected to the outer wall of the threaded column via threads.

[0015] The two threaded posts connected at both ends of the connecting rod have opposite thread directions.

[0016] Preferably, a moisture sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate and the inner wall of the sponge wheel;

[0017] An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top surface of each of the three supports near each connecting plate, and a pressing rod is fixedly connected to the extended end of the electric push rod.

[0018] Each of the three supports near the top plate has a fixed plate fixedly connected to its top surface, and a rubber roller is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate.

[0019] Preferably, the secondary output component includes a second mesh belt conveyor mechanism. The second mesh belt conveyor mechanism consists of a motor C fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the support via a support plate, two rotating shafts rotatably connected to the corresponding side of the support, metal sprockets fixedly connected to the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shafts, and a conveyor belt disposed on the outer walls of all the metal sprockets. The output end of the motor C is connected to the input end of one of the rotating shafts via a connecting shaft.

[0020] Preferably, side plates are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the first support on both sides of the first mesh belt conveyor and the second support on both sides of the second mesh belt conveyor.

[0021] A control panel is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate located on the support.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. This invention, through the configuration of a primary guiding component and other structures, places the bottle to be cleaned on a metal mesh belt and controls the start of motor A, enabling the entire first mesh belt conveyor mechanism to drive and guide the bottle. Under the orderly guidance of the guide port, the bottle is sequentially arranged in the cleaning zone and drying zone for cleaning and drying, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the outer surface of the bottle. It can realize automatic feeding and cleaning of the outer wall of the bottle, which is simple to operate, reduces manual intervention steps, and effectively improves cleaning efficiency while ensuring cleaning quality.

[0024] 2. The present invention is equipped with an auxiliary conveying component. The motor B drives the transmission belt via gears, thereby causing the three conveying discs to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. This is to guide the bottles that initially enter the guide port backward and assist the first mesh belt conveying mechanism in preventing the bottles from being stuck in the guide port.

[0025] 3. This invention features a cleaning zone where a high-pressure nozzle is activated to rinse the bottle surface. During rinsing, the outer wall of the bottle first contacts the roller brush, thus removing impurities from the bottle surface. After moving away from the roller brush area, the bottle surface is then subjected to high-pressure rinsing by the high-pressure nozzle to remove any remaining impurities. No manual intervention is required during the process, making it convenient to use and providing excellent cleaning results, effectively saving manpower.

[0026] 4. This invention, by setting up a drying zone, causes the sponge wheel and sponge plate to move simultaneously towards the center via a moving plate driven by a screw thread, thereby shortening the distance between the sponge wheel and sponge plate. This allows the surface of the cleaned bottle to contact the front and rear sets of sponge wheels and sponge plates during the channel transport, thus achieving preliminary and further comprehensive wiping work. This allows most of the moisture on the bottle surface to be removed. Then, air is blown by an air knife to further dry the outer surface of the bottle after preliminary drying in the channel, so as to further avoid leaving moisture on the bottle surface. The operation is relatively simple.

[0027] 5. When the present invention detects that the moisture adsorbed in any sponge wheel or sponge plate has reached a set value, it transmits a signal to the microcontroller so that the microcontroller can control the corresponding motor D to start. The moving plate controls the sponge wheel and sponge plate to move to both sides at the same time, so that the sponge wheel approaches the rubber roller and achieves dehydration during the mutual squeezing process. Meanwhile, the opposite sponge plate is squeezed by the squeezing rod pushed forward by the electric push rod, so that the water inside is squeezed out, thereby achieving dehydration. Then, the microcontroller controls the motor D to start in the reverse direction, driving the two dehydrated sponge wheels and sponge plates to move towards each other, so as to reset and perform water absorption and drying treatment on the bottles conveyed in the channel. The operation is simple, requires no manual intervention, and is relatively labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] A fully automatic cleaning and drying machine for the outer wall of bottles, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the system includes support 1, support 6, and support 7. The top surface of support 1 is provided with a primary guiding assembly, which includes a first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102. The first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 consists of a motor A101 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of support 1 via a support plate, two rotating shafts rotatably connected to the corresponding side of support 1, sprockets fixed to the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shafts by bolts, and a metal mesh belt disposed on the outer walls of all the sprockets. The output end of motor A101 is connected to the input end of one of the rotating shafts via a connecting shaft. The bottle to be cleaned is placed on the metal mesh belt, and motor A101 is started, so that the entire first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 drives and guides the bottle.

[0039] Furthermore, the top surface of the second support 6 is provided with a secondary output assembly, which includes a second mesh belt conveyor mechanism 602. The second mesh belt conveyor mechanism 602 consists of a motor C601 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the support 1 via a support plate, two rotating shafts rotatably connected to the corresponding side of the support 1, metal sprockets fixed to the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shafts by bolts, and a conveyor belt disposed on the outer walls of all the metal sprockets. The output end of the motor C601 is connected to the input end of one of the rotating shafts via a connecting shaft. After cleaning and preliminary drying, the bottle is conveyed to the second mesh belt conveyor mechanism 602 and will be automatically output under the conveyor belt.

[0040] Preferably, the top surfaces of the supports 1 on both sides of the first mesh belt conveyor 102 and the top surfaces of the supports 6 on both sides of the second mesh belt conveyor 602 are all fixed with side plates 2 by bolts; the side plates 2 are provided to protect the bottles on the first mesh belt conveyor 102 and the second mesh belt conveyor 602, so as to prevent the bottles from falling.

[0041] Furthermore, the top surface of the support 3 7 is fixed with a working box 5 by bolts. The working box 5 is arranged with a cleaning area and a drying area from front to back. The bottle is sequentially transported to the cleaning area and the drying area by the primary guide component for cleaning and drying to maintain the cleanliness of the outer surface of the bottle. Finally, it is output through the secondary output component. No manual intervention is required during the process. It is convenient to use and has a good cleaning effect, effectively saving manpower.

[0042] Preferably, the work box 5 has three inlets 501 equidistantly arranged on one side, a channel 502 connected to the inlets 501 is opened on the inner wall of the work box 5, and an outlet 503 connected to the channel 502 is opened on the other side of the work box 5.

[0043] Further preferably, the top surface of the support 3 7 facing the inlet 501 has the same number of guide ports 3 as the inlet 501 for conveying the bottle; the top surface of the support 3 7 adjacent to the guide ports 3 is provided with an auxiliary conveying assembly, which includes three conveying discs 4 rotatably connected to the top surface of the support 3 7, three gears [not shown in the figure] rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the support 3 7 and connected to the bottom end of the three conveying discs 4 through a connecting shaft, a transmission toothed belt sleeved and meshing with the outer wall of the three gears, and a motor B401 fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the support 3 7 by bolts. The output end of the motor B401 is connected to the bottom end of one of the gears through a coupling; when the motor B401 is started, the transmission toothed belt is driven by the gears to convey, thereby causing the three conveying discs 4 to rotate synchronously counterclockwise, so as to guide the bottle initially entering the guide port 3 backward, and assist the first mesh belt conveying mechanism 102 in preventing the bottle from being stuck in the guide port 3.

[0044] To clean and dry the outer surface of the bottle; such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the cleaning area includes an inlet pipe 1501 fixed to one side of the work box 5 by bolts for connecting to an external water source, several high-pressure nozzles 15 fixed to the inner wall of the top of the channel 502 by bolts, and multiple roller brushes 8 rotatably connected to the top surface of the supports 7 on both sides of the channel 502. One end of the inlet pipe 1501 is connected to the outlet end of the high-pressure nozzle 15 through a conduit.

[0045] Preferably, the high-pressure nozzle 15 is positioned near the inlet 501;

[0046] Preferably, the roller brush 8 is positioned near the inlet 501;

[0047] Preferably, the water inlet pipe 1501 is located above each inlet 501; the water pump connected to the water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 1501. When the bottle is transported into the channel 502 through the guide port 3, the high-pressure nozzle 15 is activated to rinse the surface of the bottle. During rinsing, the outer wall of the bottle will first come into contact with the roller brush 8, so that the impurities on the surface of the bottle can be brushed off during rinsing. After moving away from the area of ​​the roller brush 8, the surface of the bottle is then rinsed under high pressure by the high-pressure nozzle 15 to remove the impurities remaining on its surface. It is relatively simple to use.

[0048] Furthermore, the drying zone consists of two sets of identical moisture-absorbing components and air-drying components located on both sides of each channel 502. The moisture-absorbing component includes a symmetrically arranged groove 16 on the top surface of the support 7, a threaded column 1602 rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the groove 16, a connecting rod 1603 whose two ends are respectively connected to one end of the two opposite threaded columns 1602 via couplings, a movable plate 1604 slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 16, and a top plate fixed to the top surface of one of the movable plates 1604 by bolts. The top plate 18 consists of multiple sponge wheels 12 rotatably connected at equal intervals to the top surface of the top plate 18, a connecting plate 10 fixed to the top surface of another movable plate 1604 by bolts, a sponge plate 1001 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 10 facing the sponge wheels 12, and a motor D1601 fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the support 7 by bolts. The output end of the motor D1601 is connected to one end of one of the threaded columns 1602 through a connecting shaft. The inner wall of the movable plate 1604 is connected to the outer wall of the threaded column 1602 through threads.

[0049] Preferably, the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001 are made of PU sponge;

[0050] Alternatively, the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001 arranged in relative positions in this embodiment can be replaced by the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001, or by the sponge plate 1001 and the sponge plate 1001.

[0051] Preferably, the threads of the two threaded posts 1602 connected to both ends of the connecting rod 1603 are arranged in opposite directions; so as to ensure that the structures carried on the two threaded posts 1602 can move towards each other or move away from each other under the drive of the connecting rod 1603.

[0052] The starting motor D1601 drives the threaded column 1602 to rotate, which in turn causes the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001 to move towards the center simultaneously via the moving plate 1604. This shortens the distance between the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001, so that the surface of the cleaned bottle can contact the front and rear sets of sponge wheels 12 and sponge plates 1001 during the conveying process in the channel 502. This achieves preliminary and further comprehensive wiping work, so that most of the moisture on the bottle surface can be removed. The operation is relatively simple.

[0053] Preferably, the air-drying assembly includes an air knife 11 fixedly connected to the top surface of the support 3 7 by a support rod in a relative position, and a fan 17 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support 3 7 by an L-shaped plate, and the output end of the fan 17 is connected to the input end of the air knife 11 through a conduit; when the fan 17 is started, air is blown through the air knife 11, thereby further drying the outer surface of the bottle after preliminary drying in the channel 502, so as to further avoid moisture remaining on the surface of the bottle.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottle to be cleaned is placed on the metal mesh belt, and the motor A101 is started, so that the entire first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 transmits and guides the bottle to the guide port 3. At this time, the start motor B401 drives the transmission belt through the gear, so that the three transmission discs 4 rotate synchronously counterclockwise, so as to guide the bottle that has just entered the guide port 3 backward, and assist the first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 in preventing the bottle from being stuck in the guide port 3.

[0055] During the process of conveying the bottle body through the guide port 3 into the channel 502, the high-pressure nozzle 15 is activated to rinse the surface of the bottle body. During rinsing, the outer wall of the bottle body will first come into contact with the roller brush 8, thereby completing the brushing of impurities on the surface of the bottle body during rinsing. After moving away from the area of ​​the roller brush 8, the surface of the bottle body will be rinsed under high pressure by the high-pressure nozzle 15 to remove the impurities remaining on its surface. The motor D1601 is started to drive the threaded column 1602 to rotate, thereby causing the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001 to move towards the center simultaneously via the moving plate 1604, thereby shortening the distance between the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001. This allows the surface of the cleaned bottle body to come into contact with the front and rear sets of sponge wheels 12 and sponge plates 1001 during the conveying in the channel 502, thereby achieving preliminary and further comprehensive wiping work. The fan 17 is activated to blow air through the air knife 11, thereby performing further air drying treatment on the outer surface of the bottle body after preliminary drying in the channel 502. After being cleaned and initially dried, the bottles are conveyed to the second mesh belt conveyor mechanism 602 and will be automatically output under the conveyor belt.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] A fully automatic cleaning and drying machine for the outer wall of bottles, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to remove the water adsorbed by the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiment 1: the side of the connecting plate 10 facing the sponge plate 1001 and the inner wall of the sponge wheel 12 are both fixedly connected with moisture sensors for detecting the water content of the sponge wheel 12 and the sponge plate 1001. The moisture sensors and the motor D1601 are respectively connected to the control module for communication.

[0058] Furthermore, each of the support three 7 near each connecting plate 10 is bolted with an electric push rod 9 electrically connected to the control module, and the extended end of the electric push rod 9 is bolted with a pressing rod 901.

[0059] Furthermore, each of the supports 7 near each top plate 18 has a fixing plate 14 fixed to its top surface by bolts. Two sets of rubber rollers 1401 are rotatably connected to one side of the fixing plate 14 facing the direction of the two sets of sponge wheels 12.

[0060] Preferably, the top surface of the support 3 7 near the edge is provided with a drain hole for connecting to an external water pipe; the squeezed water can be discharged through the drain hole to avoid liquid accumulation on the support 3 7, which would affect the drying effect of the bottle.

[0061] Preferably, a control panel containing a microcontroller is bolted to one side of the side plate 2 on the support 1 [not shown in the figure]. When the moisture sensor detects that the moisture adsorbed in any sponge wheel 12 or sponge plate 1001 has reached the set value, it transmits a signal to the microcontroller so that it controls the corresponding motor D1601 to start. The moving plate 1604 controls the sponge wheel 12 and sponge plate 1001 to move to both sides at the same time, so that the sponge wheel 12 approaches the rubber roller 1401 and achieves dehydration during the mutual squeezing process. The opposite sponge plate 1001 is squeezed by the squeezing rod 901 pushed forward by the electric push rod 9, so that the moisture inside is squeezed out, thereby achieving dehydration. Then the microcontroller controls the motor D1601 to start in the opposite direction, driving the two dehydrated sponge wheels 12 and sponge plates 1001 to move towards each other, so as to reset and perform water absorption and drying treatment on the bottles conveyed in the channel 502. The operation is simple, requires no manual intervention, and is relatively labor-saving.

[0062] In this embodiment, the bottle to be cleaned is placed on the metal mesh belt, and the operating parameters are adjusted via the control panel. The automatic control motor A101 starts, causing the entire first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 to transmit and guide the bottle to the guide port 3. At this time, the automatic control motor B401 starts, and the gear drives the transmission belt to transmit, thereby causing the three transmission discs 4 to rotate synchronously counterclockwise, so as to guide the bottle that has just entered the guide port 3 backward, and assist the first mesh belt conveyor mechanism 102 in preventing the bottle from being stuck in the guide port 3.

[0063] As the bottle is conveyed through guide port 3 into channel 502, the high-pressure nozzle 15 is automatically activated to rinse the bottle surface. During rinsing, the outer wall of the bottle first contacts the roller brush 8, thus brushing away impurities from the bottle surface. After moving away from the roller brush 8 area, the bottle surface is then subjected to high-pressure rinsing by the high-pressure nozzle 15 to remove any remaining impurities. The automatic control starts motor D1601, which drives the threaded column 1602 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the sponge wheel 12 and sponge plate 1001 to move towards the center via the moving plate 1604, shortening the distance between the sponge wheel 12 and sponge plate 1001. This ensures that the cleaned bottle surface can contact both sets of sponge wheels 12 and sponge plates 1001 during conveying in channel 502, achieving initial and further comprehensive wiping. The automatic control starts fan 17, which blows air through air knife 11 to further dry the initially dried outer surface of the bottle conveyed in channel 502.

[0064] When the moisture sensor detects that the moisture adsorbed in either sponge wheel 12 or sponge plate 1001 has reached a set value, it transmits a signal to the microcontroller, which then controls the corresponding motor D1601 to start. The moving plate 1604 controls the sponge wheel 12 and sponge plate 1001 to move simultaneously to both sides, bringing the sponge wheel 12 close to the rubber roller 1401. During the mutual squeezing process, dehydration is achieved. Meanwhile, the opposite sponge plate 1001 is squeezed by the electric push rod 9, pushing the squeezing rod 901 forward, thus removing the moisture and achieving dehydration. Then, the microcontroller controls motor D1601 to start in the reverse direction, causing the two dehydrated sponge wheels 12 and sponge plates 1001 to move towards each other, resetting them to perform water absorption and drying on the bottles conveyed in channel 502. After cleaning and preliminary drying, the bottles are conveyed to the second mesh belt conveyor mechanism 602 and automatically output under the conveyor belt.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
