Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of beverage production equipment, in particular to a bottled beverage cooling and conveying device. Background Art

[0002] Beverages often need to go through a series of purification processes to sterilize them before they are produced and packaged. This process will cause the temperature of the beverage to rise, and it will still have a certain temperature after filling. Therefore, during production, it is often left to cool naturally. Only after cooling can the bottled beverages be shipped out of the factory for sale. However, natural cooling is very slow.

When the control board enters the cooling cover, it reciprocates with the help of the wavy track wall, thereby driving the beverage bottle to rotate, so that each surface is evenly cooled, and deformation caused by uneven cooling of the beverage bottle is prevented; the cooling efficiency of the beverage bottle is greatly accelerated by the cold air blower cooling in the cooling cover, the control assembly cooling through the cooling liquid tank, and the cold air in the cooling liquid tank is transmitted upward.

[0030] Example:

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, a bottled beverage cooling and conveying device comprises:

[0032] Conveyor belt assembly 1;

[0033] A cooling assembly 2, the cooling assembly 2 comprising a cooling cover 21 mounted on the conveyor belt assembly 1; and

[0034] The guide assembly 3 includes two sets of guide mechanisms 31 installed in the cooling cover 21 and arranged symmetrically in front and back along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt assembly 1, and the two sets of guide mechanisms 31 are butted end to end in a broken line shape;

[0035] The two groups of guiding mechanisms 31 each include two groups of guiding units 311 arranged in parallel to form a conveying channel 310 and a driving unit 312 driving the two groups of guiding units 311 to operate. The guiding units 311 on both sides of the conveying channel 310 are arranged to be in contact with the beverage bottle and the movement directions of the contact positions are opposite.

[0036] It should be noted that the conveyor belt assembly 1 is a prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0037] Furthermore, the cooling cover 21 is provided with a docking port 211 for connecting with an external cooling device.

[0038] It should be noted that the inlet and outlet of the cooling cover 21 are blocked by soft curtains.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the included angle between the two groups of guide mechanisms 31 is α, and α=120°.

[0040] It should be noted that the angle between the two sets of guide mechanisms 31 is not limited to 120°, and can be adjusted according to production needs.

[0041] It should be further explained that the number of the cooling hoods 21 and the guide assemblies 3 is not limited to the number proposed in the present invention, and can be increased or decreased accordingly according to production requirements.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guide mechanism 31 also includes two sets of mounting beams 313 which are installed front and rear inside the cooling cover 21 and erected above the conveyor belt assembly 1 .

[0043] Furthermore, the mounting beam 313 is hollowed out.

[0044] It should be noted that the hollowing out of the mounting beam 313 allows the beverage bottles in the cooling cover 21 to be in better contact with the cold air, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guide unit 311 includes a rotating roller 3111 correspondingly installed under the front and rear groups of the mounting beams 313, two groups of mounting grooves 3112 opened along the circumference of the rotating roller 3111 and spaced apart up and down, and a conveyor belt 3113 correspondingly wound in the front and rear groups of the mounting grooves 3112; the two groups of the mounting grooves 3112 are arranged in the lower half of the rotating roller 3111.

[0046] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 3113 is made of flexible material.

[0047] It is also necessary to explain that the two sets of conveyor belts 3113 are arranged at intervals and the position in contact with the beverage bottles is the bottom of the beverage bottles, which can ensure that the beverage bottles are fully cooled while preventing the beverage bottles from overturning.

[0048] It is important to note that the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3113 is lower than the transporting speed of the conveyor belt assembly 1, thereby enabling the beverage bottles to be transported forward.

[0049] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving unit 312 includes a synchronous pulley assembly a3121 located on the same mounting beam 313 and synchronously transmitting the two groups of rotating rollers 3111, a reducer 3122 installed on the cooling cover 21, a motor 3123 power-connected to the reducer 3122, a conical tooth assembly 3124 connected to the power shaft of the reducer 3122, and a synchronous pulley assembly b3125 power-connected to the conical tooth assembly 3124 and the synchronous pulley assembly a3121.

[0050] It should be noted that the motor 3123 is a servo motor, and the reduction ratio of the reducer 3122 is 1:5.

[0051] Working process:

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor belt assembly 1 delivers the beverage bottles into the conveying channel 310. At the same time, the motor 3123 drives the conical tooth assembly 3124 to rotate through the reducer 3122, and the synchronous pulley assembly b3125 drives the synchronous pulley assembly a3121 to rotate, thereby driving the two groups of guide units 311 to rotate, and the conveyor belts 3113 on both sides of the conveying channel 310 rub the beverage bottles to rotate.

[0053] 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 should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
