[0002] A bottle washer is a specialized piece of equipment used to clean and sterilize bottles and other types of containers. This equipment plays a vital role in the food and beverage industry, ensuring that all containers meet stringent hygiene standards before being filled with food or beverages. This equipment not only improves food and beverage safety but also provides a more efficient production process, thereby raising productivity and quality levels across the industry.
[0003] Before the bottles are conveyed to the main washing area of the bottle washer, they pass through a pre-rinsing stage. This stage is designed to remove most impurities and dirt from the bottle surface. Once the bottles enter the main washing area, they are thoroughly rinsed to ensure that every part of the bottle is fully cleaned to remove residual matter and microorganisms. During the cleaning process, the brushes inside the bottle washer scrub the internal and external surfaces of the clean bottles.
[0004] During long-term use, the bristles of the brush will become hard or fall off due to wear, so the brush needs to be replaced regularly. Currently, the brush is replaced manually, and the replacement efficiency is low. Therefore, an automatic brush replacement mechanism for a bottle washing machine is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0034] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3A connecting component is provided inside the fixing seat 6, and the connecting component is used to connect the brush rod 1 and the fixing seat 6 to each other. Multiple connecting components include two springs 14, and the spring 14 is used to push the protrusion 15 to move. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the fixing seat 6, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 15. Two grooves are provided inside the top of the brush rod 1, and the outer periphery of the protrusion 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove. After the protrusion 15 is inserted into the groove, the top of the brush rod 1 can be installed inside the fixing seat 6.
[0035] Working principle: When the brush rod 1 needs to be replaced, the motor 3 is first started. The driving end of the motor 3 drives the screw 21 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 21 causes the moving block 2 19 to drive the mounting plate 2 to move to the front of the brush rod 1 that needs to be replaced. Then, the electric push rod 2 17 is started. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 2 17 extends and pushes the mounting plate 2 to move toward the brush rod 1 that needs to be replaced. When the two clamping plates 10 move to the left and right sides of the brush rod 1 that needs to be replaced, the electric push rod 1 8 is determined. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 1 18 extends and drives the two connecting rods 13 to rotate. During the rotation of the two connecting rods 13, the two clamping plates 10 are driven toward each other through the two mounting rods 12, so that the two clamping plates 10 clamp the brush rod 1. Then, the hydraulic rod 4 is started. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 4 pushes the mounting plate 2 to move, so that the two clamping plates 10 drive the brush rod 1 to move, thereby pulling the top end of the brush rod 1 out from the inside of the fixing seat 6. The replaced brush rod 1 is then driven to move to the vacant fixing seat 6 by the moving block 2 19. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 4 contracts, causing the two clamping plates 10 to drive the replaced brush rod 1 toward the vacant fixing seat 6, so that the top end of the replaced brush rod 1 is inserted into the vacant fixing seat 6. After the top end of the replaced brush rod 1 is inserted into the vacant fixing seat 6, the two springs 14 inside the fixing seat 6 respectively push the two protrusions 15 to move, so that the protrusions 15 are inserted into the top end of the replaced brush rod 1, thereby installing the replaced brush rod 1 inside the fixing seat 6. Thereafter, the second moving block 19 drives the mounting plate 2 toward the remaining brush rod 1, and after the two clamping plates 10 clamp the brush rod 1, the brush rod 1 can be driven to the installation position and installed, thereby completing the replacement of the brush rod 1.
