[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an aluminum can cleaning machine, including a bottom plate 6 and a cleaning tank 2. Two support rods 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning tank 2. A lifter 8 is fixedly arranged on the support rods 7. A first sealing ring is arranged at the lower end of the cleaning tank 2. A bottom plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. Two side blocks 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 6. The output end of the lifter 8 is connected to the side block 9. Two cleaning components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning tank 2. The cleaning component includes a frame 3, a first thruster 4 and a side plate 13. The frame 3 is fixed on both sides of the cleaning tank 2. The first thruster 4 is fixed on the frame 3. The side plate 13 is fixed at the output end of the first thruster 4. A plurality of inserting rods 5 penetrating the cleaning tank 2 are arranged on the side plate 13. A second sealing ring is arranged on the side of the side plate 13 close to the cleaning tank 2;

[0024] In this structure, the aluminum cans to be cleaned are placed into the cleaning tank 2. By starting two first thrusters 4, the two side plates 13 can be moved. At this time, a plurality of inserting rods 5 will reciprocally penetrate the aluminum cans in the cleaning tank 2, enabling the waste liquid in the aluminum cans to be discharged into the cleaning tank 2. Then, by starting the lifter 8, the bottom plate 6 can be lowered a small distance, enabling the waste liquid in the cleaning tank 2 to be discharged at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2;

[0025] Furthermore, by starting the lifter 8, the bottom plate 6 can be reset. By starting the first thruster 4, the side plate 13 can be pressed against the cleaning tank 2. At this time, through the provided first sealing ring and second sealing ring, the sealing performance at the side plate 13 and the bottom plate 6 can be ensured. By adding cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 2, the aluminum can materials in the cleaning tank 2 can be cleaned. After cleaning, by lowering the bottom plate 6, the cleaned aluminum cans in the cleaning tank 2 can be discharged from the cleaning tank 2.

[0026] In this structure, a second thruster 11 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate 6. A cross plate 12 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the second thruster 11. The bottom ends of the support rods 7 are fixed at both ends of the cross plate 12. Chute grooves 10 are arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 6. Sliding blocks which are in sliding fit with the chute grooves 10 are arranged at both ends of the cross plate 12. By starting the second thruster 11, the cross plate 12 can drive the support rods 7 to reciprocate on the bottom plate 6, so that the cleaning box 2 can reciprocate on the bottom plate 6, and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning box 2 can fully contact the beverage cans in the cleaning box 2, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the beverage cans.

[0027] Further, both the chute grooves 10 and the sliding blocks may be of T-shaped structures.

[0028] Further, the first thruster 4, the second thruster 11 and the lifter 8 may all adopt telescopic cylinders.

[0029] Further, the cross plate 12 is fixed to the output end of the second thruster 11 by bolts, and the support rods 7 are fixed to both ends of the cross plate 12 by screws. The ways of fixing by bolts and screws have the advantage of convenient assembly.
