Specific embodiments

[0023] The following will describe in detail the implementation manners of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so as to fully understand the implementation process of how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0024] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0025] Figures 1-4This is an embodiment of the utility model. The specific problem addressed by this specific embodiment is that: currently, most canned food production enterprises mainly adopt the following method to clean the oil stains on the surface of the can: a hot water spray device is arranged above the conveying device, the can is placed on the conveying device, and when the can moves with the conveying device to the bottom of the hot water spray device, the hot water spray device is started to wash the surface of the can to wash away the oil stains and impurities on the surface of the can, and after washing, the water droplets on the surface of the can are blown dry by the fan 432. The following defects exist in washing the can using this method: since the can is placed on the conveying device, the hot water spray device can only wash the side wall and the upper surface of the can, but cannot wash the bottom of the can, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Based on the incomplete problem of can body flushing described above, the present invention provides a can cleaning and drying device, which integrates a cleaning chamber 2 and a drying unit 4 on a can processing line, and can complete the cleaning and drying operations of the can from entry to output, and arranges rubber bumps 33 on the conveying plate 32. After the can enters the cleaning chamber 2 from the conveying plate 32, some of the cans are flipped. Then, a flip rod 24 is arranged in the cleaning chamber 2, which can flip the can itself during the water spray flushing process, thereby producing multi-sided cleaning and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0026] A can cleaning and drying device specifically described herein comprises a support frame 1, a cleaning chamber 2 and a conveying member 3 connected to the cleaning chamber 2 are arranged on the support frame 1, the conveying member 3 conveys the cans to be cleaned into the cleaning chamber 2, and a drying member 4 for drying the cans is installed at one end of the cleaning chamber 2 away from the conveying member 3, so that the cans can remain dry when being output.

[0027] The cleaning bin 2 includes a bin body 21 and a cleaning terminal group 22 mounted on the bin body 21 for inputting cleaning water into the bin body 21. The cleaning terminal group 22 is mounted on the bin body 21. A working chamber 23 for accommodating cans to enter and be cleaned is formed in the bin body 21. The working chamber 23 of the cleaning bin 2 is connected to the air-drying unit 4.

[0028] The conveying member 3 includes a storage plate 31 installed on the support frame 1. The storage plate 31 is a horizontal plate and can be connected to an external conveyor belt when in specific use. It only intermittently conveys cans to the cleaning bin 2. The storage plate 31 is connected to a conveying plate 32 on a structure extending in the direction of the cleaning bin 2. There is an angle between the conveying plate 32 and the storage plate 31. The two ends of the conveying plate 32 are respectively connected to the storage plate 31 and the side wall of the bin body 21. A number of rubber protrusions 33 are arranged on the conveying plate 32. When the can is pushed away from the storage plate 31 and slides down along the conveying plate 32, it will be hit or blocked by the rubber protrusions 33, which will cause an angle deviation, causing it to enter the bin body 21 crookedly. As a result, it is more likely to flip over after being subsequently cleaned by a water spray.

[0029] A number of turning rods 24 for assisting in the turning of canned boxes are installed on the bin body 21. The turning rods 24 extend into the working chamber 23. The turning rods 24 are installed between two adjacent cleaning end groups 22. The turning rods 24 are straight rods and are fixed to the bottom of the bin body 21. When the canned box moves from one cleaning end group 22 downward along the water flow to the other cleaning end group 22, it will collide with the turning rod 24, causing an angular turn, further enhancing the turning of the canned box and further increasing the flushing surface of the cleaning end group 22. The cleaning end group 22 includes a mounting plate 221 installed on the side wall of the bin body 21. A number of spray nozzles 222 are installed on the mounting plate 221 from front to back. The spray nozzles 222 are connected to the external water supply pipeline.

[0030] The air-drying member 4 includes an arc-shaped stacking plate 41 installed on the inner wall of the bin body 21. A roller shaft 44 is rotatably installed on the arc-shaped stacking plate 41. A rubber bump 33 is arranged on the right side of the roller shaft 44. The roller shaft 44 is arranged between two air-blowing members 43. A rubber sleeve is sleeved on the surface of the roller shaft 44 to increase the contact friction with the canned box. The installation position of the arc-shaped stacking plate 41 is above the midline of the roller shaft 44. The arc-shaped stacking plate 41 is arranged in the working chamber 23 and a number of water drainage holes 42 are opened on its surface. After the arc-shaped stacking plate 41 reaches the highest point, it extends horizontally. Two groups of air-blowing members 43 for blowing off the water droplets on the surface of the canned box are installed on the side wall of the bin body 21 at its upper end. The air-blowing member 43 includes a connecting plate 431 with a height greater than that of the mounting plate 221. A blower 432 is installed on the connecting plate 431 and penetrates toward the arc-shaped stacking plate 41. A diffusion cylinder 433 for expanding the air-blowing area is installed on the structure of the bottom surface of the connecting plate 431 opposite to the arc-shaped stacking plate 41. The end of the arc-shaped stacking plate 41 is connected with a transmission belt for driving the canned box outward. After the canned box is assisted in transmission by the roller shaft 44, it will be stagnated due to the resistance of the rubber bump 33, and then will be turned over by the pushing of a new canned box, and the other side will be exposed to the wind, enhancing the air-drying effect.

[0031] The control mode of the present utility model is automatically controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The provision of power also belongs to the common knowledge in the art. And the present utility model mainly protects mechanical devices, so the control mode and circuit connection of the present utility model will not be explained in detail.

[0032] It should be noted that in this article, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
