Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic cleaning equipment, in particular to a feeding bottle cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] With rising living standards, the market demand for maternal and infant disinfection products is growing. In particular, feeding bottles used for infants need to be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized at high temperatures to prevent the growth of bacteria that can harm their health. To address this market demand, the industry has developed specialized feeding bottle cleaning machines. These machines include a spray arm or flushing column for spraying and cleaning feeding bottles and their accessories.

[0003] However, the prior art bottle cleaning machines are all provided with a filter hole and a drain hole, and the filter hole and the drain hole are usually provided on two components, resulting in a large volume and a complicated structure of the filter assembly of the bottle cleaning machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a feeding bottle washing machine, aiming to solve the problems of large volume and complex structure of the filtering part of the feeding bottle washing machine in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A feeding bottle cleaning machine comprises a housing and a cleaning chamber arranged in the housing;

[0007] The cleaning chamber includes a bottom wall, the bottom wall is provided with a drainage assembly, the drainage assembly includes a drainage port and a filter provided in the drainage port, and the filter is detachably connected to the bottom wall;

[0008] The bottom wall is provided with a water supply port for supplying water to the washing chamber, the filter includes a filter area and a drainage area, the filter area is provided with filter holes, the drainage area is provided with drainage holes, and the area of ​​the filter holes is smaller than the area of ​​the drainage holes;

[0009] The bottle cleaning machine includes a cleaning state and a drainage state. When the bottle cleaning machine is in the cleaning state, the water output from the filter hole flows back into the cleaning chamber through the water supply port.

[0010] When the bottle cleaning machine is in a drainage state, the water in the cleaning chamber is discharged through the drainage hole.

[0011] A further improved solution: a return water pump is provided in the shell. When the return water pump is in working state, the return water pump supplies the water discharged from the filter hole into the water supply port. When the return water pump is in stopped state, the return water pump closes the filter hole. When the bottle washing machine is in cleaning state, the return water pump is in working state.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution: When the bottle washer is in the cleaning mode, the return pump is in operation. Its primary function is to re-supply water discharged through the filter holes back into the water supply port, forming a circulating cleaning system. This design ensures continuous and efficient water flow during the cleaning process, thereby enhancing cleaning effectiveness. When the bottle washer stops operating or enters standby mode, the return pump also stops operating. In this case, the return pump is designed to automatically close the filter holes, forming a physical barrier. This design primarily prevents water remaining in the pipes or water tank from flowing back into the filter holes due to gravity or other factors after the washer stops operating, potentially contaminating the water source or affecting the cleanliness of the equipment's internal structures.

[0013] A further improved solution: a drainage pump is further provided in the shell. When the drainage pump is in working state, the drainage pump discharges the water discharged from the drainage hole. When the drainage pump is in stopping state, the drainage pump closes the drainage hole. When the bottle washing machine is in drainage state, the drainage pump is in working state.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, when the bottle washer is draining, the drain pump is in operation, quickly and effectively draining wastewater or residual water generated during the cleaning process through the drain hole. This instantaneous drainage mechanism ensures a clean and dry environment within the washer, preventing the bacterial growth that could result from retained wastewater. When the drain pump stops, it automatically closes the drain hole, preventing external moisture or impurities from entering the washer. This design effectively prevents backflow and ensures the integrity and cleanliness of the washer's internal structure.

[0015] A further improved solution: the filter includes a filter portion and a guide portion, the filter holes and the drain holes are both provided in the filter portion, and a guide groove is provided on the guide portion, which guides the water in the washing chamber into the filter portion.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the filter holes provided in the filter section allow water to flow through and remove impurities, food residue, and other debris. This design ensures that only filtered, clean water can enter the cleaning chamber or be recycled, thereby improving the cleaning effect and water purity. By filtering out impurities in the water, the wear and blockage caused by these impurities on the internal pipes, pumps, and other components of the cleaning machine can be effectively reduced, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. The guide grooves provided in the guide section guide the water in the cleaning chamber into the filter section in an orderly manner. This design optimizes the water flow path, allowing water to be filtered more efficiently through the filter, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. By optimizing the water flow path, the disordered flow and waste of water in the cleaning chamber are reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption during the cleaning process.

[0017] A further improved solution: a mounting groove for mounting the filter is provided on the bottom wall, the mounting groove includes a first part cooperating with the guide part and a second part cooperating with the filter part, and the first part is communicated with the second part.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution: The design of the mounting slot allows the filter to be precisely installed in the designated position, avoiding problems such as leakage, shaking, or performance degradation caused by improper installation. The mounting slot provides a stable support for the filter, ensuring that it will not shift or fall off due to water impact or machine vibration during operation. With a well-designed mounting slot, users can easily remove or install the filter from the bottle washer without complex tools or tedious steps, thereby simplifying the maintenance and replacement process. The design of the mounting slot may also take into account the convenience of cleaning, making it easier for users to clean residue inside the mounting slot and around the filter, keeping the equipment clean and hygienic.

[0019] A further improved solution: the cross-sectional shape of the first portion is an arc shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the second portion is an arc shape.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution: The arc-shaped cross-section helps water flow more smoothly along the guide section into the filter section, reducing water resistance and turbulence at corners, thereby improving water flow efficiency. The arc-shaped transition design can reduce the impact of water flow on the edge of the filter, reducing the risk of filter damage due to long-term water impact. The arc-shaped design makes the contact surface between the installation groove and the filter more closely fit, helping to enhance the sealing between the installation groove and the filter and prevent water leakage during cleaning. Compared with other shapes, the arc-shaped design can reduce the gap between the installation groove and the filter, further improving the water leakage resistance of the equipment.

[0021] A further improved solution: an elastic clamping block is provided on the guide part to prevent the filter from falling off, and a clamping plate is provided on the first part. There are two clamping plates, and a clamping groove that cooperates with the elastic clamping block is formed between the two clamping plates. The clamping plate uses friction to position the elastic clamping block.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, the combination of the elastic clamp and the clamping plate provides dual securing support for the filter. The elastic clamp fits tightly against the edge of the mounting slot, while the clamping plate further secures the elastic clamp through friction, ensuring that the filter remains securely in the mounting slot. Users simply align the filter's guide with the first portion of the mounting slot and push the elastic clamp into the clamping slot to easily install the filter. The entire process requires no complex tools or additional steps, simplifying the installation process. When the filter needs to be removed for cleaning or replacement, the user simply pulls out the elastic clamp to remove it from the mounting slot. This design makes disassembly just as quick and easy.

[0023] A further improved solution: the cleaning chamber includes a side wall arranged on the bottom wall, the side wall is inclined, the filter is arranged at the lowest position of the bottom wall, and the stains attached to the side wall automatically slide into the filter under the action of gravity.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: Due to the inclined side walls, when there is water or stains remaining in the washing chamber, these stains will automatically slide to the lowest position of the bottom wall under the action of gravity, which is the position of the filter. This automatic drainage mechanism reduces the retention time of stains in the washing chamber and reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The filter is located at the lowest position, which can more effectively capture stains and impurities that slide down the side walls, ensuring the cleanliness of the washing chamber. This helps to reduce the problem of secondary contamination caused by residual stains. The inclined side wall design helps to guide the flow direction of water in the washing chamber, allowing the water flow to more comprehensively cover the surface of the bottles and other cleaning items, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Under the action of the inclined side walls, the water flow can generate a certain flushing force, which helps to remove stubborn stains and residues on the surface of the bottles, making the cleaning effect more thorough.

[0025] A further improved solution: a steam sterilizer is further provided in the cleaning chamber, and the steam sterilizer includes a heating body. When the bottle washing machine is in the cleaning state, the heating body heats the water flowing through the heating body. The bottle washing machine also includes a disinfection state. When the bottle washing machine is in the disinfection state, the heating body heats the water to generate steam for disinfection.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the steam sterilizer uses a heating element to heat water to generate high-temperature steam. This steam penetrates deep into the bottle and into tiny crevices, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Compared to traditional hot water immersion or ultraviolet disinfection, steam sterilization is more comprehensive and thorough. The bottle cleaning machine offers two modes: cleaning and disinfection, allowing users to select the appropriate mode based on their needs. In the disinfection mode, the steam sterilizer automatically activates, providing comprehensive sterilization services for the bottles.

[0027] A further improved solution: the steam sterilizer further comprises a water inlet cover, the water inlet cover is uniformly distributed with through holes, and the water in the cleaning chamber flows through the heating body through the through holes.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution, the evenly distributed through-holes in the water inlet hood ensure that water in the washing chamber flows evenly and smoothly through the heating element. This design avoids the potential for localized overheating or uneven water flow distribution caused by direct water impact on the heating element, thereby improving heating efficiency and uniform steam generation. The water entering the heating element through the through-holes is dispersed into smaller streams, increasing the contact area between the water and the heating element. This helps to accelerate water heating and improve the efficiency of heat energy transfer, thereby generating high-temperature steam more quickly.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0030] The utility model provides a filter, which includes a filter area and a drainage area. The filter area is provided with filter holes, and the drainage area is provided with drainage holes. The filter holes and the drainage holes are both provided on the filter, thereby simplifying the structure of the filter. Such a design also allows the filter to be set to a smaller volume.

[0031] In the cleaning mode, the filter's pores allow filtered water to flow back into the cleaning chamber through the water supply port, achieving water recycling. This design significantly reduces the amount of fresh water required during the cleaning process, thereby reducing overall water consumption. In the draining mode, the water in the cleaning chamber is discharged through the drain holes. Because the drain holes are designed to be larger than the filter holes, small particles filtered out by the filter holes can be effectively discharged through the drain holes.

[0032] The filter is detachable, making it easy for users to clean and replace it regularly. This helps keep the filter clean and efficient, reducing the decrease in cleaning efficiency and increased energy consumption caused by clogging, thereby extending the overall service life of the bottle washer.

[0033] The filter holes in the filtration area effectively remove impurities and particles from the water, ensuring clean water returning to the cleaning chamber. This helps improve cleaning results and reduces residue on the bottle surface.

[0034] The water in the cleaning chamber circulates to more fully cover the surface and inner corners of the bottles, achieving a more thorough cleaning effect. Users can switch between cleaning and draining modes with a simple setting, without complex operation steps or professional knowledge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
