Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap production equipment, and in particular to an online bottle cap cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] As an important part of the food industry, the production and sale of alcoholic beverages involve the cleanliness of their containers. Simply put, for alcoholic beverages packaged in bottles, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene requires guaranteeing the cleanliness of the bottles and caps. Before assembling the bottles and caps, the surface of the caps needs to be dusted. A large category of bottle caps is metal caps, such as those made from stamped aluminum alloy sheets. These caps often attract dust during production and transportation, and because they are made of metal, they are also prone to static electricity, making them even more susceptible to dust adhesion, and even after initial dust removal, dust can quickly re-adhere to them.

[0003] Utility model patent CN212310303U provides a dust removal device for liquor bottle caps. It uses a suction method to extract dust from passing liquor bottle caps, employs a conveyor device to transport the caps, and sets up a dust removal hood at a point along the way. A fan draws air from the dust removal hood and below the conveyor device, thereby removing and filtering the dust from the bottle caps to achieve cleaning. However, this solution can only be used in environments with high cleanliness; otherwise, after removing temporarily attached dust, new dust will adhere. Furthermore, it is ineffective at cleaning dust attracted by electrostatic discharge and cannot remove static electricity from the bottle caps. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model and how the technical solution solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0027] The online bottle cap cleaning device provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a cleaning box 100, a tilting conveyor 200, and several ion guns 300. The online bottle cap cleaning device is a component of bottle cap production equipment. It typically consists of a bottle cap feeding mechanism and a bottle cap transfer mechanism at the top and bottom. The bottle cap feeding mechanism continuously transfers bottle caps to the tilting conveyor 200. The bottle caps move and gradually tilt on the tilting conveyor 200, undergoing electrostatic dust removal before entering the bottle cap transfer mechanism for packaging or loading.

[0028] Specifically, the tilting conveyor 200 is installed inside the cleaning chamber 100, with its inlet and outlet ends located on opposite side walls of the chamber. Ionizing air guns 300 are evenly distributed on the tilting conveyor 200, with their nozzles facing the conveying area. The cleaning chamber 100 creates a relatively enclosed electrostatic dust removal environment. As the bottle caps move one by one from the tilting conveyor 200, they are impacted by the airflow from the ionizing air guns 300, accelerating their movement and achieving "unpowered movement" of the bottle caps.

[0029] The ion gun 300 utilizes suitable products from existing technology to generate a large number of positively and negatively charged air masses. These charged air masses are blown out by compressed gas, neutralizing the charge on the metal bottle cap. When the metal bottle cap surface carries a negative charge, the ion gun 300 attracts positive charges from the airflow; conversely, when the metal bottle cap surface carries a positive charge, it attracts negative charges from the airflow, thus neutralizing the static electricity on the metal bottle cap surface and achieving the purpose of eliminating static electricity. The state of the metal bottle cap surface (positive or negative) is detected beforehand. The ion gun 300 typically works in conjunction with a high-voltage generator and a compressed air source. The distribution of related wiring is rationally set according to actual needs. For example, the air pipe and cable at the output end of the ion gun 300 enter the cleaning chamber 100 from the inlet or outlet end of the tilting conveyor 200, or a separate input end is provided on the cleaning chamber 100. High-speed compressed gas can blow away stubborn dust on the bottle cap and propel the metal bottle cap forward more forcefully.

[0030] The online bottle cap cleaning device provided by this utility model is set between the bottle cap feeding equipment and the packaging equipment. The metal bottle caps are conveyed by the flipping conveyor 200, which realizes the flipping posture of the bottle caps during the conveying process. Since the flipping conveyor 200 is equipped with an ion air gun 300, the static electricity on the metal bottle caps is effectively eliminated by the ion air gun 300. It can also drive the movement of the bottle caps and remove the adhering dust, and the electrostatic dust removal effect is good.

[0031] Optionally, in one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tilting conveyor 200 includes several connecting frames 210 and several limiting strips 220. The limiting strips 220 pass through and are connected to the connecting frames 210, forming a conveying channel with a twisted posture that can accommodate bottle caps. From the inlet end to the outlet end, the bottle caps can be tilted 180° within the conveying channel. The tilting conveyor 200 has a certain length, within which the bottle caps can gradually tilt, thus being fully covered by the effective range of the ion gun 300. The limiting strips 220 are distributed in a curved twist, with several limiting strips 220 parallel to each other and spaced at equal intervals. They are supported and connected by the connecting frames 210, thus forming a stable spiral conveying channel.

[0032] Optionally, in conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, in one specific implementation of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ion gun 300 is connected to the connecting frame 210, and the ion gun 300 is oriented in the direction of the bottle cap's movement. For example, one ion gun 300 is installed in the vertical direction of the first connecting frame 210, and one ion gun 300 is installed in the horizontal direction of the second connecting frame 210. The ion gun 300, oriented in the direction of the bottle cap's movement, assists in moving the bottle cap by using compressed gas.

[0033] Optionally, in one specific embodiment of this utility model, the tilting conveyor 200 is distributed from high to low from the inlet end to the outlet end. With the tilting conveyor 200 distributed from high to low, the bottle caps gradually move downward from the highest position, using the gravitational potential energy of the bottle caps themselves to drive their smooth movement on the tilting conveyor 200.

[0034] Optionally, in another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning box 100 is equipped with several air intakes 110. Besides using the ion gun 300 to blow away static charge or dust from the bottle caps, it is also necessary to clean the floating dust in the cleaning box 100 in a timely manner. Therefore, the air intakes 110 are provided on the cleaning box 100 to continuously replace the air in the cleaning box 100 and remove floating dust from the air for further dust removal. Optionally, in one specific implementation, such as... Figure 2 As shown, an air inlet 120 is provided on the wall of the cleaning box 100 opposite to the air intake 110, and a filter screen is provided on the air inlet 120. To prevent dust from entering the cleaning box 100 in large quantities, a filter screen is provided at the air inlet 120. The air inlet 120 helps to better balance the air pressure inside the cleaning box 100. Furthermore, in another specific implementation of this application, a damp dust-collecting cloth (not shown in the figure) is laid on the bottom surface of the cleaning box 100. The damp dust-collecting cloth can continuously provide moisture to the internal environment of the cleaning box 100, thus achieving better dust reduction. The bottom of the cleaning box 100 can be configured as a shallow pool filled with a certain amount of clean water, and the dust-collecting cloth can be laid in the pool.

[0035] Optionally, in another embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the cleaning box 100 facing the flipping conveyor 200 is a transparent side panel (not shown in the figure), and one edge of the transparent side panel is hinged to the body of the cleaning box 100. The transparent side panel allows for easy observation of the operation of the bottle caps, and in practice, the cleaning box 100 can be made directly of transparent plastic material. The transparent side panel is hinged to the body and can be opened when needed for internal operations.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" discussed in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0039] The above description is only a partial embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
