The embodiments thereof will be described below according to the overall structure of the present application.

[0029] As Figures 1-4As shown, the mineral water bottle cap cleaning and disinfection device of this embodiment includes: a cap sorter 1, a discharge pipe 11, a cover body 12, a cover surface 121, an opening 122, a screen cover assembly 2, an air inlet pipe 21, a screen cover plate 22, a conveying pipe 3, a disinfection nozzle 31, a disinfection nozzle 32, a flushing area 33, a disinfection area 34, a clean water tank 4, a cleaning pipeline 41, a disinfectant tank 5, a disinfection pipeline 51, a disinfection pump 511, a pipeline 52, a concentration detection meter 53, a drain port 54, a stirring paddle 55, a motor 56, a liquid level sensor 57, a drain port 58, a liquid supply tank 6, a connecting pipe 61, a liquid supply pump 62, a recovery tank 7 and a recovery pipeline 71.

[0030] Continue to refer Figures 1-4 , multiple cap bodies 12 are placed in the cap sorting machine 1, and the cap sorting machine 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 11, and the cap sorting machine 1 sequentially conveys the multiple cap bodies 12 into the discharge pipe 11. The screen cover assembly 2 includes a screen cover channel, an air nozzle and an air pump connected to the air nozzle through an air inlet pipe 21. The two ends of the screen cover channel are respectively connected to the discharge pipe 11 and the conveying pipe 3. The bottom of the screen cover channel is provided with a screen cover plate 22, and a notch is opened on one side of the screen cover plate 22. A convex V-shaped screen piece is provided on the inner side of the notch. The tip of the V-shaped screen piece is preferably provided with a certain distance from the notch edge of the notch, and the distance between the tip and the notch edge is preferably slightly larger than the radius of the bottle cap; and the angle of the V-shaped screen piece is preferably set between 30 degrees and 60 degrees. If the angle is too small, the cap body 12 may not be guided to slide down, and if the angle is too large, the cap body 12 may be stuck and cannot slide down; the air nozzle is located above the outer side of the notch, and the air nozzle faces the notch.

[0031] When the cover body 12 moves onto the screen cover plate 22 , the gas provided by the air pump is ejected from the air nozzle through the air inlet pipe 21 . The lid 12 with the opening 122 facing upward can smoothly pass through the screening of the sieve cover channel and enter the conveying channel 3; if the opening 122 of the lid 12 faces downward and contacts the bottom of the sieve cover plate 22, the lid surface 121 of the lid 12 faces upward, and the contact area between the opening 122 of the lid 12 and the sieve cover plate 22 is small, and the impact force provided by the gas impacts the lid surface 121, making it impossible for the lid 12 to remain stable and fall from the notch of the sieve cover plate 22. At this time, the lid 12 will pass through the recovery channel 71 below the sieve cover plate 22 and enter the recovery box 7. By spraying air into the cap body 12 and cooperating with the screen cover plate 22, the cap body 12 with the opening 122 facing upward can be screened out, solving the problem in the existing filling production line that it is difficult to unify the direction of the opening 122 of the cap body 12 before the cap body 12 enters the bottle cap conveying channel 3 from the cap sorting machine 1.

[0032] The conveying pipeline 3 is sequentially provided with a disinfection area 34 and a flushing area 33. The disinfection nozzle 31 is installed in an inclined manner below the disinfection area 34, and the cleaning nozzle 32 is arranged in an inclined manner below the flushing area 33. The water spraying direction of the cleaning nozzle 32 and the disinfection nozzle 31 is toward the transmission direction of the conveying pipeline 3. The inclined nozzle is sprayed to the cover body 12, and the sprayed liquid provides a forward thrust to the cover body 12. The cover body 12 can move along the conveying pipeline 3 to enter the next process; multiple disinfection nozzles 31 are respectively connected to the disinfectant tank 5 through a disinfection pipeline 51 provided with a disinfection pump 511, and disinfectant is provided to the disinfection area 34 through the disinfectant tank 5 to disinfect the cover body 12 entering the disinfection area 34; multiple cleaning nozzles 32 are respectively connected to the clean water tank 4 through a cleaning pipeline 41 provided with a cleaning pump, and water is supplied to the flushing area 33 by the clean water tank 4 to wash away the disinfectant on the cover body 12.

[0033] In addition, part of the conveying pipe 3 corresponding to the disinfection area 34 and the flushing area 33 is located below the cap sorting machine 1, and the conveying pipe 3 is an arc-shaped conveying pipe; when the cover body 12 screened out by the screen cover assembly 2 passes through the arc-shaped conveying pipe, the opening 122 of the cover body 12 gradually faces downward, which can facilitate disinfection and cleaning; and the arc-shaped conveying pipe 3 can save a lot of space compared to the straight conveying pipe 3.

[0034] Typically, disinfectant is discharged as waste liquid after a single use. However, the disinfectant still has a disinfecting function at this time. Directly discharging it would waste disinfectant and increase the business's operating costs. To reduce the consumption of disinfectant, a first liquid receiving trough is provided below the disinfection area 34. The disinfectant that has cleaned the cover 12 flows into the first liquid receiving trough. A second liquid receiving trough is provided below the rinse area 33. A sewage pipe is provided at the bottom of the second liquid receiving trough. The clean water that has cleaned the cover 12 flows out of the sewage pipe of the second liquid receiving trough. The first notch of the first liquid receiving trough is connected to the disinfectant tank 5 via a pipe 52. The disinfectant in the first liquid receiving trough flows back to the disinfectant tank 5 through the pipe.

[0035] The liquid supply tank 6 is provided with a controller, a liquid level sensor 57 and a concentration detection table 53, the controller is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 57 and the concentration detection table 53 respectively, the liquid supply tank 6 is connected with the disinfectant tank 5 through a connecting pipe 61, and the connecting pipe 61 is provided with a liquid supply pump 62. In use, the first, second and third liquid level values are set for the liquid level sensor 57, when the first liquid level value is reached, it indicates that the disinfectant tank 5 is empty, the controller controls the liquid supply pump 62 to draw new liquid from the liquid supply tank 6 into the disinfectant tank 5, and the liquid supply is stopped when the second liquid level value is reached; the concentration detection table 53 monitors the concentration of the disinfectant in real time, a concentration value is set for the concentration detection table 53, when the concentration of the disinfectant is lower than the concentration value, the liquid supply tank 6 supplies liquid to the disinfectant tank 5 again, and the liquid supply is stopped when the third liquid level value is reached, so as to maintain the concentration of the disinfectant and disinfect the cover body 12; when the concentration of the disinfectant is lower than the concentration value again, the disinfectant tank 5 is provided with a liquid discharge port 54, and the disinfectant in the disinfectant tank 5 is discharged from the liquid discharge port 54, so that the disinfectant is used in a cycle, and the consumption of the disinfectant is reduced, thereby reducing the operation cost of the merchant.

[0036] In order to prevent the concentration detected by the concentration detection table 53 from being deviated, the embodiment is provided with a rotatable stirring paddle 55 at the bottom of the disinfectant tank 5, a motor 56 is fixed outside the disinfectant tank 5, the output end of the motor 56 is fixedly connected with the center of the stirring paddle 55, the controller is electrically connected with the driver of the motor 56, and the controller controls the motor 56 to drive the stirring paddle 55 to stir the disinfectant at a regular time, so as to accelerate the mixing of the new and old disinfectant.

[0037] Further, the first slot of the first liquid receiving groove is provided with a filter screen, which can filter out the impurities in the used disinfectant, retain the disinfecting function of the disinfectant, ensure that the backflow disinfectant does not contain impurities, and does not pollute the disinfectant in the disinfectant tank 5.

[0038] In summary, in order to reduce the consumption of disinfectant, the embodiment supplies liquid to the disinfectant tank 5 through the liquid supply tank 6, detects the height of the liquid in the disinfectant tank 5 through the liquid level sensor 57, detects the concentration of the disinfectant in real time through the concentration detection table 53, supplies liquid to the disinfectant tank 5 again when the concentration of the disinfectant is lower than the concentration value set by the concentration detection table 53, and the liquid in the disinfectant tank 5 can be discharged from the liquid discharge port 54 when the concentration of the disinfectant is lower than the concentration value set by the concentration detection table 53 again, so that the disinfectant is used in a cycle, the consumption of the disinfectant is reduced, and the operation cost of the merchant is reduced.
