Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically to a conveying and drying device for bottled beverages. Background Technology

[0002] For most beverages, canning and bottling are commonly used for ease of transportation, preservation, and consumption. This is especially true in the bottle packaging process for dairy products, where flavored dairy products typically require a heat sterilization process after filling. During this process, the heated bottles react with the air, causing water droplets to form on their surface. These water droplets can interfere with the detection of bottle inspection equipment, affecting the quality of the coding and consequently impacting the entire filling and packaging process. Furthermore, the water droplets can cause problems such as incorrect bottle rejection by inspection equipment, unclear coding, and missing coding.

[0003] The authorization announcement number CN206202828U discloses a beverage bottle drying device. According to its instruction manual and drawings, the device dries the body of a beverage bottle. Within a certain range, the same drying device can be used to dry beverage bottles of different diameters. However, the air outlet of the air blower is in a fixed position, and the worker cannot adjust the air blowing position according to the height or shape of the bottle, which affects the drying effect and causes inconvenience during use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems existing in the use of bottle drying equipment during conveying. It provides a conveying and drying device for bottled beverages. When the height of the bottles conveyed on the surface of the first conveyor belt changes, the air outlet at the end of the universal bamboo tube can be adjusted to accommodate bottles of different heights, thereby achieving a better drying effect.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a conveying and drying device for bottled beverages, including a conveying mechanism, a device housing covering the outside of the conveying mechanism, bottle limiting mechanisms for limiting the bottle body on both sides of the surface of the conveying mechanism, and a blower mechanism for adjusting the angle of the blower nozzle on the top of the surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, a water tank shell is provided between the conveyor support frame and the belt support frame. The side of the water tank shell near the blower mechanism is provided with a baffle that can block water droplets blown by the blower mechanism. The bottom center of the water tank shell is connected to an external drainage pipe through a pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, the bottle limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod support block, a first support rod, a first limiting rod, a second support rod, and a second limiting rod. A plurality of limiting rod support blocks are arranged on both sides of the belt support frame. A first support rod is connected through the side of each limiting rod support block. A first limiting rod is connected to the end of each first support rod facing the middle of the first conveyor belt. A second limiting rod is connected above the first limiting rod through the second support rod.

[0009] Preferably, the first support rod is movably connected through the interior of the limiting rod support block, and the top of the limiting rod support block is connected to an adjustment knob by a thread. The bottom of the screw of the adjustment knob can press the first support rod. This arrangement is to enable the position of the first support rod to be adjusted.

[0010] Preferably, the blower mechanism includes a blower duct and a universal bamboo joint tube. One side of the blower duct is connected to several universal bamboo joint tubes, and the other side of the blower duct is connected to an external air duct that can blow air.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a conveying and drying device for bottled beverages includes a conveying mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying support frame 11, a belt support frame 12, a drive shaft 13, and a first conveyor belt 14. The top of the conveying support frame 11 is connected to the belt support frame 12. The two ends of the belt support frame 12 are rotatably connected to the drive shaft 13. The surface of the drive shaft 13 is connected to the first conveyor belt 14. At least one side of the drive shaft 13 is connected to an external drive motor. Bottle bodies for limiting the bottle are provided on both sides of the surface of the conveying mechanism 1. The limiting mechanism 3 includes a limiting rod support block 31, a first support rod 32, a first limiting rod 33, a second support rod 34, and a second limiting rod 35. Several limiting rod support blocks 31 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt support frame 12. A first support rod 32 is connected through the side of each limiting rod support block 31. A first limiting rod 33 is connected to the end of each first support rod 32 facing the middle of the first conveyor belt 14. A second limiting rod 35 is connected above the first limiting rod 33 via the second support rod 34. 32 is movably connected through the interior of the limiting rod support block 31. The top of the limiting rod support block 31 is threadedly connected to an adjusting knob 36. The bottom of the screw of the adjusting knob 36 can press the first support rod 32. With this configuration, an external drive motor can drive at least one drive shaft 13 to start rotating. When the drive shaft 13 rotates, it will drive the first conveyor belt 14 to start moving. During the movement of the first conveyor belt 14, another drive shaft 13 plays a supporting and guiding role. External equipment or workers can place the bottle on the first... The surface of the conveyor belt 14 is conveyed. Since the bottle needs to be dried by blowing cold or hot air during the conveying process, the gap between the first limiting rod 33 and the second limiting rod 35 on both sides can prevent the bottle from being blown over by the wind. In order to limit the bottles of different diameters, the adjusting knob 36 can be rotated so that the screw at the bottom no longer presses the first support rod 32. Then, the first support rod 32 is pushed left and right to reach the appropriate position and the adjusting knob 36 is rotated to press the first support rod 32 again.

[0020] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is covered by an equipment housing 2. The equipment housing 2 is composed of several aluminum alloy profiles and aluminum alloy plates fixedly connected to each other. The surface of the equipment housing 2 is provided with several observation windows 21, and each observation window 21 is fitted with transparent glass. This is to facilitate workers outside to check the drying status of the bottles on the surface of the first conveyor belt 14 in a timely manner. Above the surface of the conveying mechanism 1, there is a blower mechanism 4 that can adjust the angle of the blower nozzle. Specifically, the blower mechanism 4 includes a blower pipe 41 and a universal bamboo joint tube 42. One side of the blower pipe 41 is connected to several universal bamboo joint tubes 42, and the other side of the blower pipe 41 is connected to an external air duct. The blower nozzle at the end of each universal bamboo joint tube 42 is aligned with the top of the second support rod 34. With this arrangement, due to the universal bamboo joint tubes, the air can be blown out of the bottle. The structural features of the universal bamboo tube 42 allow for arbitrary changes in bending angle. Therefore, the air outlet at the end of the universal bamboo tube 42 can be adjusted to accommodate bottles of different heights. The air blowing pipe 41 delivers air for drying inside the universal bamboo tube 42. A water tank shell 5 is also provided between the conveyor support frame 11 and the belt support frame 12. The side of the water tank shell 5 near the blower mechanism 4 is equipped with a baffle 51 that can block water droplets blown by the blower mechanism 4. The bottom center of the water tank shell 5 is connected to an external drain pipe through a pipe. This arrangement is because when the universal bamboo tube 42 blows air, it blows away water droplets on the surface of the bottle. At this time, the baffle 51 can effectively block the water droplets blown away at the end of the air outlet. Then, the water droplets will flow into the interior of the water tank shell 5 along the baffle 51 and finally be discharged to the external water pipe for recycling, which can prevent the interior of the entire device from becoming too humid and producing odors.

[0021] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0022] First, external equipment or workers can place the bottle on the surface of the first conveyor belt 14 for conveying. Then, the external drive motor can drive at least one drive shaft 13 to start rotating. When the drive shaft 13 rotates, it will drive the first conveyor belt 14 and the bottle on its surface to start moving. During conveying, the air outlet at the end of the universal bamboo tube 42 can blow air onto the bottle. The baffle 51 can effectively block the water droplets blown away at the end of the air outlet. Then, the water droplets will flow into the interior of the water tank shell 5 along the baffle 51 and be discharged to the external water pipe for recycling. At the same time as blowing, the gap between the first limiting rod 33 and the second limiting rod 35 on both sides can limit the bottle from being blown over by the wind.

[0023] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
