[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The specific implementation methods of the present utility model are further described in detail.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model is a plastic cup box canning and sealing machine, including a filling machine body 1, the filling machine body 1 is provided with a transport base 100 for transporting plastic cup boxes, the transport base 100 is a chain conveying mechanism, and the transport base 100 is provided with a filling head 2 for filling, a film placing device 3 for placing the plastic cup box lid, a heat sealing device 4 for heat-sealing the plastic cup box lid to the mouth of the plastic cup box, and a cup discharge device 5 for transferring the sealed plastic cup box out of the transport base 100 from the feeding end to the discharging end. Specifically, the transport base 100 is provided with a cup holder slot 101 for placing the plastic cup box, and the mouth of the cup holder slot 101 is provided with a groove 102 for placing the plastic cup box lid. The above is the existing plastic cup box filling and sealing machine structure, which will not be repeated here.

[0023] Different from the prior art:

[0024] A transport base cleaning mechanism is provided at one end of the filling machine body 1. The transport base cleaning mechanism includes a hot water rinsing mechanism 10 for spraying hot water onto the surface of the transport base 100, a brushing mechanism 20 for brushing the cup holder 101, a wiping mechanism 30 for wiping the surface of the transport base 100, a steam sterilizing mechanism 40 for spraying high-temperature steam onto the transport base 100, and a water receiving trough 50 provided below the transport base 100 and fixed to the filling machine body 1. After the filling machine body 1 has been used for a period of time, the surface of the transport base 100 may retain yogurt emulsion spilled during filling. If it is not cleaned, it is easy to cause relatively large pollution to the filling machine body 1. By setting the transport base cleaning mechanism, after the filling machine main body 1 has been running for a period of time, the filling can be stopped and the transport base 100 can continue to roll. During the rolling process of the transport base 100, the hot water washing mechanism 10 sprays hot water on the chain plate surface of the transport base 100, the brushing mechanism 20 brushes the cup holder slot 101 for placing the plastic cup box, and the wiping mechanism 30 wipes the residual yogurt on the chain plate surface, and the steam sterilization mechanism 40 sprays high-temperature steam on the surface of the chain plate. High-temperature steam sterilization is a physical sterilization method. The surface of the chain plate is heated by high-temperature steam so that the surface temperature of the chain plate reaches above 100°C, thereby killing microorganisms.

[0025] Specifically, the brushing mechanism 20 includes a cleaning brush 21, a rotating drive mechanism 22 connected to the cleaning brush 21 for driving the cleaning brush 21 to rotate in the cup holder slot 101, and a lifting mechanism 23 fixed to the upper end of the filling machine body 1 for driving the rotating drive mechanism 22 to move up and down. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the cleaning brush 21 is a stepped structure, and its shape is adapted to the cup holder slot 101 and the groove 102. During the cleaning process, every time the transport base 100 rolls a chain plate, the lifting mechanism 23 drives the cleaning brush 21 to insert into the cup holder slot 101 of the corresponding chain plate, and the cleaning brush 21 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism 22 to wipe the cup holder slot 101 and the groove 102.

[0026] There are four cup holder slots 101 on each chain plate, and the number of cleaning brushes 21 is equal to the number of the cup holder slots 101 and their positions correspond to each other.

[0027] The hot water shower mechanism 10 includes a hot water tank 11 fixed above the filling machine body 1 and a hot water shower head 12 connected to the hot water tank 11. The hot water shower head 12 is equipped with a solenoid valve. When in use, the hot water tank 11 is used to store hot water. By opening the solenoid valve, hot water can be sprayed onto the surface of the chain plate through the hot water shower head 12. The high temperature of the hot water can kill some bacteria, and the hot water wets the surface of the chain plate to facilitate subsequent scrubbing work.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1The steam sterilization mechanism 40 includes a steam nozzle 41 fixed above the filling machine body 1. The steam nozzle 41 is externally connected to a steam generator, which can be a boiler.

[0029] In order to prevent high-temperature steam from spreading throughout the entire workshop, a steam collection hood 42 is fixed above the filling machine body 1, a steam nozzle 41 is arranged inside the steam collection hood 42, and an exhaust fan 43 is installed on the side of the steam collection hood 42. The steam is sucked in and discharged to the outside of the workshop or to the air purification facility through the exhaust fan 43, which can effectively reduce the steam concentration in the workshop.

[0030] Furthermore, openings 44 are provided at the bottom of the left and right sides of the steam collection hood 42. The setting of the openings 44 allows the plastic cup boxes to pass smoothly during normal filling. The wiping mechanism 30 includes a wiping cloth 31 movably set at the opening 44 and an electric telescopic cylinder 32 fixed on the steam collection hood 42 for driving the wiping cloth 31 to move up and down. During the filling process, the electric telescopic cylinder 32 is in a shortened state and the opening 44 is opened. During the cleaning process, the electric telescopic cylinder 32 is extended to make the wiping cloth 31 in close contact with the surface of the chain plate. When the chain plate rolls, the wiping cloth 31 wipes off the dirt.

[0031] The length of the wiping cloth 31 is consistent with the width of the transport base 100 .

[0032] In some embodiments, the filling machine body 1 is fixedly installed with a hot air dryer 60 for drying the surface of the transport base 100. Through the setting of the hot air dryer 60, after cleaning is completed, starting the hot air dryer 60 can accelerate the drying of the chain plate surface.

[0033] In summary, the present invention aims to provide a plastic cup box filling and sealing machine with efficient automatic cleaning and disinfection functions. By integrating multiple automated steps, including hot water rinsing, scrubbing the cup holder 101, wiping the chain plate, high-temperature steam sterilization, and hot air drying, the transport base 100 is cleaned and disinfected, thereby ensuring a hygienic production environment.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
