The conveyor belt is a chain conveyor belt, and a clamping column is arranged at the bottom of the cup washing loading plate, and the clamping column is inserted into the chain conveyor belt.

[0021] The actual usage is as follows:

[0022] In the pre-wash area, spray water and detergent on the inside and outside of the cup to soak the cup once.

[0023] Brushing area: When the cup enters the specified position of the bin, the conveying operation stops, the up and down push motor starts to push the brush to the specified position inside and outside the cup, and the up and down push motor stops. The rotating motor starts in time to rotate the brush to rub the stains inside and outside the cup. When the set time is up, the rotating motor stops working, and the up and down push motor starts to pull the brush apart. After the push motor pulls the brush apart and stops, the running conveyor belt starts to send the cup to the washing bin, and the cups on the import platform follow.

[0024] Cleaning area: After being scrubbed, the cups enter the specified position of the rinsing bin, and the spraying starts when the rinsing is started, and stops when the rinsing time is up. Then the rinsing starts when the rinsing is started, and stops when the rinsing reaches the set time.

[0025] Drying area: After rinsing, the cup enters the specified drying position and stops. Push the motor up and down to start the brush to the specified position inside and outside the cup and stop. Turn the motor to start the brush to rotate quickly. The brush rubs water droplets inside and outside the cup. The fan sends hot air to the brush and the cup synchronously to dry the cup.

[0026] Exit area: After drying is completed, the rotating motor stops working, and the pushing motor pulls the brush up and down. When the brush returns to its original position, the pushing motor stops, and the running motor starts to pull the cup out of the oven to the exit platform.

[0027] Here’s how to do it:

[0028] Turn on the power, the water tank will automatically fill with water, and the water will stop automatically when it is full. The water level is controlled by the liquid level sensor. If the water in the tank is not enough, the solenoid valve will automatically open to let water in.

[0029] When the water tank is full, the heating stops and the heating starts automatically. The heating is controlled by a temperature sensor, and the temperature can be set freely. It stops automatically when the temperature reaches the upper limit and starts automatically when the temperature reaches the lower limit.

[0030] When the temperature reaches the set position, the drying will automatically start heating. The drying temperature is controlled by the temperature sensor and is also stopped or started by the upper and lower lines according to the set temperature.

[0031] When the drying temperature is reached, it can be turned on, and the spraying and drying are all started at the same time. The running motor is an 80 servo motor, which can control the cup washing basket to stay in the set position.

[0032] The running motor runs to the set specified position and stops, the up and down lifting motors of the scrubbing area are started, and the brush is pushed to the specified position of the cup, the lifting motor stops, and the brush motor starts working.

[0033] The brush motor automatically stops after working for 1 minute, and the up and down lifting motor starts to pull the brush apart.

[0034] After the lifting motor pulls the brush apart, the running motor starts to send the cup basket to the specified position of the second zone, and the entrance zone sends the cup basket to the pre-washing zone at the same time.

[0035] All machine areas work in the same way, starting and stopping, just like an assembly line.

[0036] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
