Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic jar cleaning and turnover devices, specifically an automatic cleaning and turnover device for ceramic jars used in the aging of vinegar. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic cleaning and turnover device for ceramic jars used in the aging of balsamic vinegar can realize the fully automated operation of jar washing, draining, and transfer. Relying on intelligent program unified control, it completely replaces the manual handling and washing mode. The equipment can be adapted to various sizes of aging ceramic jars. The cleaned ceramic jars are automatically transported by the system to the filling station or open-air aging site for orderly stacking as needed. The wastewater generated during cleaning is collected, treated and recycled in a unified manner, taking into account both environmental protection and water conservation. The device has strong operational stability, effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor, improves the cleaning quality of ceramic jars and storage turnover efficiency, and meets the needs of large-scale continuous brewing production of balsamic vinegar.

[0003] The existing ceramic jar cleaning and turnover device has a fixed posture of ceramic jars during operation and cannot be rotated. Due to the limitation of the placement, it is difficult to achieve simultaneous cleaning of the inside and outside of the jars. It can only be operated in multiple times. A single cleaning cannot completely remove the dirt on the inner wall and the vinegar stains on the outer wall. The cleaning process is scattered, which lengthens the working time, and the cleaning effect is inconsistent. It also increases the frequency of transfer, which restricts the turnover efficiency of ceramic jars and is not conducive to the continuous industrial production of vinegar. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic cleaning and turnover device for ceramic jars used in the aging of balsamic vinegar, which effectively solves the problems of the existing equipment in the background art, which has a fixed posture of ceramic jars, cannot clean them simultaneously inside and outside, has a long cleaning time, uneven cleaning, and reduces the turnover efficiency of ceramic jars.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic cleaning and turnover device for ceramic jars used in the aging of balsamic vinegar, comprising a main body, a frame inside the main body, a chamber fixedly installed at the top of the main body, two symmetrically arranged support legs at the bottom of the main body, a plate conveyor belt inside the frame, a control panel detachably mounted at the front end of the chamber, a rinsing head arranged inside the chamber, a water tank fixedly installed at the rear of the main body, the water inlet of the water tank connected to an external water supply pipeline, two water pumps installed in the water tank, and the water outlets of the water pumps connected to the rinsing head via rigid pipes; a discharge valve is installed at the rear end of the main body, and positioning and flipping components are matched to the plate of the plate conveyor belt. The ceramic jars are placed above the positioning and flipping components. During the conveyor belt's movement, the positioning and flipping components complete the positioning and tilting of the ceramic jars, improving the overall rinsing effect. The number of positioning and flipping components can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the on-site production conditions.

[0006] Two positioning heads are embedded in the top of the compartment. The upper ends of two rigid pipes are fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning heads.

Two slide rails are installed on the left and right inner walls of the compartment. The four slide bars are slidably assembled on the inner side of the slide rails one by one.

[0007] The positioning and flipping assembly includes a lifting plate arranged above the plate conveyor belt strips. The top surface of the lifting plate is fixed with a bracket to support the ceramic jar. Four insert rods are inserted at the four corners of the lifting plate. The bottom ends of all insert rods are uniformly fixed to the surface of the conveyor belt strips. Vertical springs are fitted on the outer side of the upper section of the insert rods. The vertical springs are in a pre-compressed state. The two ends of the vertical springs are respectively fastened to the insert rods and the lifting plate. A first corrugated sleeve is added to the outside of the vertical springs. The two ends of the first corrugated sleeve are also sealed and fixed to the surface of the insert rods and the lifting plate, respectively.

[0008] Support frames are fixed at the left and right positions of the upper end of the same plate of the plate conveyor belt. A through opening is opened at the upper end of the support frame, and a sliding sleeve is installed inside the opening. The inner cavity of the sliding sleeve has a regular hexagonal structure. A matching sliding rod is inserted inside the sliding sleeve. Rubber clamps are fixed at the facing ends of the two sliding rods. Slip rings are fixed at the upper and lower positions of the outer wall of the sliding sleeve. Matching ring grooves are opened in the inner wall of the opening. The sliding rings are slidably installed in the ring grooves. A transverse spring is fitted on the outer wall of the outer end of the sliding rod. The two ends of the transverse spring abut against and fix the sliding sleeve and the toothed disc, respectively. A second corrugated sleeve is added to the outside of the transverse spring. The two ends of the second corrugated sleeve are fixed to the end face of the sliding sleeve and the toothed disc, respectively.

[0009] A gear plate is fixed to the outer end of the slide bar. A ball bearing is movably installed on the outer side of a single gear plate using a ball seat. The outer side of the ball bearing is arranged in conjunction with a limiting strip. Two limiting strips are symmetrically fixed to the left and right inner walls of the cabin. The ends of the limiting strips are beveled. A rack is fixed to the bottom side of the limiting strip. The rack and the gear plate mesh with each other and are fixed together in the cabin space.

[0010] The lifting plate extends outward from both ends to fix support arms. The lower end of the support arm is fitted with a pulley through a pivot seat. The lower end of the pulley is in contact with the front lifting bar. The two front lifting bars are fixed on both sides of the feed end of the frame. The rear lifting bars are fixed on both sides of the discharge end of the frame. The front ends of both the front and rear lifting bars are all machined into inclined slopes.

[0011] Preferably, the water storage tank collects cleaning waste liquid, which is discharged uniformly through the discharge valve at the bottom of the main body of the device, realizing centralized recycling and reuse of water resources; the control panel integrates start / stop, speed adjustment, and delay control modules, making it convenient for staff to adjust the operating parameters of the entire set of equipment; the electric push rod has a self-locking limit function to accurately control the pressing depth of the flushing head.

[0012] Preferably, the rubber clamp is made of thickened wear-resistant material to buffer and reduce shock during the clamping of the ceramic jar, preventing the jar from being bumped and broken; the front lifting bar and the rear lifting bar are made of wear-resistant steel, which is not easily deformed or worn by long-term friction with the pulley; the limiting bar is made of hard aluminum alloy, and the surface is polished to reduce the sliding friction resistance of the ball; all parts that can come into contact with water are made of waterproof material or coated with waterproof material.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) The lifting plate is raised by the conveyor belt and the lifting bar and pulley linkage control. The two sides clamp the ceramic jar automatically and fix it. The ceramic jar is rotated in place by the meshing of the rack and tooth plate. The equipment can complete the double-sided spray cleaning of the ceramic jar inside and outside at the conveying station at the same time. It breaks the disadvantage of the original equipment that the jar body is fixed and can only be cleaned in batches, and greatly shortens the cleaning time of a single jar.

[0015] (2) The electric push rod drives the flushing head to extend and retract to adjust the height, so that the flushing head can get closer to the ceramic jar to improve the flushing effect. Combined with the rotation action, it can achieve no dead angles in the inside and outside, and the overall cleaning is uniform. It can effectively remove the vinegar scale inside the jar and the vinegar stains adhering to the outer wall, and improve the cleaning qualification rate.

[0016] (3) The entire set of cleaning, turning and clamping processes flows continuously with the conveyor belt. After cleaning, the ceramic jars are automatically transferred to the next work station with the conveyor belt, eliminating the intermediate secondary transfer steps, improving the turnover efficiency of ceramic jars, and adapting to the large-scale brewing production of vinegar production line.

[0017] (4) The waste liquid of the whole set of equipment is collected and recycled in a centralized manner, the spring is equipped with corrugated sleeve for protection, the key transmission components are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, the equipment has a low failure rate, good continuous operation stability, effectively reduces manual intervention, and reduces brewing labor costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1, by Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The invention comprises a main body 1, with a frame 2 inside. A chamber 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the main body 1. Two symmetrical support legs 4 are arranged at the bottom of the main body 1, supporting the entire machine and ensuring stable placement. A plate conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the frame 2, which uses an external drive motor to uniformly circulate and transport materials. A control panel 6 is detachably installed at the front of the chamber, allowing operators to control the machine's start / stop, conveying speed, and spraying duration. A rinsing head 7 is arranged inside the chamber 5. A water storage tank 8 is fixedly installed at the rear of the main body 1, with its inlet connected to an external water supply pipeline. The water storage tank 8 is equipped with two water pumps, and the outlets of the pumps are connected to the rinsing head 7 via rigid pipes 9, pressurizing and transporting cleaning water. A discharge valve 10 is installed at the rear of the main body 1, collecting the wastewater generated during cleaning to the bottom space of the device. Opening the discharge valve 10 allows for centralized drainage. Positioning and tilting components are installed on the plate of the plate conveyor belt 3, and the number of these components can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the on-site production conditions to meet the simultaneous cleaning needs of multiple ceramic jars.

[0031] Two positioning heads 12 are embedded in the top of the chamber 5. The upper ends of two rigid pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning heads 12. The lower ends of the positioning heads 12 are connected to the water inlet of the flushing head 7 through the flexible hose 13. The flexible hose 13 is reserved for expansion and contraction to accommodate the vertical displacement of the flushing head 7. An electric push rod 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the chamber 5. The output shaft of the electric push rod 11 extends downward into the interior of the chamber 5 and is fixedly connected to the flushing head 7. The electric push rod 11 controls the height of the flushing head 7 to shorten the distance between the flushing head 7 and the ceramic jar 17 and optimize the spray coverage.

[0032] Mounting seats 14 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the flushing head 7. Each mounting seat 14 has a sliding strip 15 integrated on both sides. Two slide rails 16 are installed on the left and right inner walls of the chamber 5. The four sliding strips 15 are slidably assembled on the inner side of the slide rails 16 in a corresponding manner. The slide rails 16 and the sliding strips 15 limit each other to ensure that the lifting path of the flushing head 7 is vertical and does not deviate.

[0033] Depend on Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The positioning and flipping assembly includes a lifting plate 18 arranged above the plate conveyor belt 3. A bracket 19 is fixed on the top surface of the lifting plate 18 to support the ceramic jar 17. The bracket 19 adopts an arc-shaped fitting structure to fit the round bottom of the jar. Four insert rods 23 are inserted at the four corners of the lifting plate 18. The bottom ends of all insert rods 23 are uniformly fixed to the surface of the conveyor belt 3. Vertical springs 25 are fitted on the outer side of the upper section of the insert rods 23. The vertical springs 25 are in a pre-compressed state. The two ends of the vertical springs 25 are respectively fastened to the insert rods 23 and the lifting plate 18. A first corrugated sleeve 24 is added to the outside of the vertical springs 25. The two ends of the first corrugated sleeve 24 are also sealed and fixed to the surface of the insert rods 23 and the lifting plate 18 to prevent vinegar residue sewage from corroding the springs.

[0034] Support frames 26 are fixed to the left and right positions of the upper end of the same plate of the plate conveyor belt 3. A through opening 27 is opened at the upper end of the support frame 26, and a sliding sleeve 28 is installed inside the opening 27. The inner cavity of the sliding sleeve 28 has a regular hexagonal structure, and a matching sliding rod 31 is inserted inside the sliding sleeve 28. The hexagonal structure restricts the rotation of the sliding rod 31, allowing it to slide only in the horizontal direction. Rubber clamps 32 are fixed to the facing ends of the two sliding rods 31. Slip rings 29 are fixed to the upper and lower positions of the outer wall of the sleeve 28. A matching annular groove 30 is opened on the inner wall of the opening 27. The sliding ring 29 is slidably installed inside the annular groove 30 to realize the circumferential rotation and axial positioning of the sliding sleeve 28. A transverse spring 41 is fitted on the outer wall of the outer end of the sliding rod 31. The two ends of the transverse spring 41 abut against and fix the sliding sleeve 28 and the gear plate 33 respectively. A second corrugated sleeve 36 is added to the outside of the transverse spring 41. The two ends of the second corrugated sleeve 36 are fixed to the end faces of the sliding sleeve 28 and the gear plate 33 respectively to protect the transverse spring 41 from corrosion and blockage by waste liquid.

[0035] The outer end of the slide bar 31 is fixed with a gear plate 33. A ball bearing 35 is movably installed on the outer side of a single gear plate 33 via a ball seat 34. The outer side of the ball bearing 35 is arranged in conjunction with a limiting strip 37. Two limiting strips 37 are symmetrically fixed on the left and right inner walls of the compartment 5. The ends of the limiting strips 37 are beveled. A rack 38 is fixed to the bottom side of the limiting strips 37. The rack 38 and the gear plate 33 mesh and fit together. The rack 38 is fixed as a whole in the interior space of the compartment 5.

[0036] The lifting plate 18 extends outward from both ends to fix the support arm 20. The lower end of the support arm 20 is rotatably equipped with pulley 22 through the bearing 21. The lower end of the pulley 22 is attached to the front lifting bar 39. The two front lifting bars 39 are fixed on both sides of the feed end of the frame 2. The rear lifting bar 40 is fixed on both sides of the discharge end of the frame 2. The front ends of the front lifting bar 39 and the rear lifting bar 40 are all processed into inclined slopes. During the conveyor belt movement, the pulley 22 slides along the slope, driving the lifting plate 18 to rise and fall.

[0037] The water storage tank 8 collects cleaning waste liquid, which is discharged uniformly through the discharge valve 10 at the bottom of the main body 1 of the device, realizing centralized recycling and reuse of water resources; the control panel 6 integrates start-stop, speed adjustment and delay control modules, which facilitates the staff to adjust the operating parameters of the whole set of equipment.

[0038] The rubber clamp 32 is made of thickened wear-resistant material, which buffers and reduces shock during the clamping of the ceramic jar 17 to prevent the jar from being bumped and broken; the first corrugated sleeve 24 and the second corrugated sleeve 36 isolate sewage and vinegar residue and protect the internal spring from corrosion and blockage; the front lifting bar 39 and the rear lifting bar 40 are made of wear-resistant steel and are not easily deformed or worn due to long-term friction with the pulley 22; the slide rail 16 and the slide bar 15 are fitted with a clearance to ensure that the flushing head 7 moves smoothly and without jamming.

[0039] The limiting strip 37 is made of hard aluminum alloy and the surface is polished to reduce the sliding friction resistance of the ball 35; the electric push rod 11 has a self-locking limiting function to precisely control the pressing height of the flushing head 7; all parts that can come into contact with water are made of waterproof material or coated with waterproof material.

[0040] At the feeding station of the equipment, the plate conveyor belt 3 drives the pulley 22 to contact the inclined surface of the front lifting bar 39 first. The inclined surface lifts the pulley 22 and the support arm 20. The lifting plate 18 and the bracket 19 are lifted synchronously. The empty pottery jar 17 is placed smoothly above the bracket 19 by the operator. The conveyor belt 3 continues to convey forward. The ball bearing 35 gradually contacts the inclined surface of the front section of the limiting bar 37. The inclined surface squeezes the ball bearing 35, causing the two side slide bars 31 to move closer together. The horizontal spring 41 is compressed, and the clamp 32 tightens inward to firmly clamp the outer wall of the pottery jar 17, completing the positioning and clamping of the pottery jar. After moving forward, the pulley 22 disengages from the top surface of the front lifting bar 39. The vertical spring 25 rebounds and pulls the lifting plate 18 and the bracket 19 to fall and reset. The bracket 19 and the bottom surface of the pottery jar are separated, eliminating the interference constraint of the bracket on the subsequent rotation of the pottery jar.

[0041] The ceramic jar 17 is suspended and clamped by the clamp 32 and sent into the compartment 5. During the movement, the gear plate 33 meshes with the rack 38 inside the compartment. The rack 38 is fixed and drives the gear plate 33, the sliding sleeve 28 and the clamp 32 to rotate as a whole. The clamped ceramic jar 17 rotates at a constant speed. At the same time, the electric push rod 11 drives the flushing head 7 to adjust its height downward, shortening the vertical distance between the flushing head 7 and the upper surface of the ceramic jar 17. The clean water in the water tank 8 is pressurized by the water pump and transported to the flushing head 7 through the rigid pipe 9 and the flexible pipe 13. With the rotation of the ceramic jar, the inner and outer walls of the jar are sprayed and cleaned in all directions.

[0042] After cleaning, the conveyor belt 3 carries the ceramic jar 17 out of the chamber 5. The toothed disc 33 disengages from the rack 38, disengaging the transmission. The ceramic jar 17 then stops rotating and returns to its original position. The conveyor belt continues to move forward, and the pulley 22 contacts the slope of the rear lifting bar 40 on the discharge side. The lifting plate 18 is lifted up again, and the bracket 19 supports the bottom of the ceramic jar 17 to bear the weight. When conveying forward again, the ball bearing 35 slides out of the range of the limiting bar 37, the limiting constraint force disappears, the transverse spring 41 rebounds and pushes the two sliding bars 31 to separate in opposite directions. The clamp 32 opens outward to unlock, and the ceramic jar 17 remains securely on the bracket 19, following the plate conveyor belt 3 to the next process.

[0043] All cleaning wastewater generated during the entire process is collected at the bottom of the inner cavity of the main body 1 and flows into the water storage tank 8. When sewage needs to be discharged, the discharge valve 10 is opened for centralized discharge. The sewage can be recycled and reused. The first corrugated sleeve 24 and the second corrugated sleeve 36 isolate the vinegar residue and effectively protect the vertical spring 25 and the horizontal spring 41 from corrosion. The equipment can continuously cycle and complete the cleaning, turning, and automatic turnover of ceramic jars for a long time.
