Detailed Implementation

[0025] To facilitate a better understanding of this utility model, the following examples are provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These examples fall within the protection scope of this utility model, but do not limit the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A glassware cleaning spray mechanism, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, it includes: a body 1, a support frame 2 and a spray mechanism 3 located inside the body 1. The spray mechanism 3 is connected to a water inlet pipe 11 extending into the body 1. The spray mechanism 3 includes: a support rod 31 with its top end located on the inner wall of the body 1; a mounting frame 32 located on the bottom end of the support rod 31; a water spray pipe 33 located along the mounting frame 32 with one end connected to the water inlet pipe 11; an adjusting plate 34 with both ends rotatably connected to the mounting frame 32 so that the adjusting plate 34 can rotate relative to the mounting frame 32; and a nozzle 35 located on the adjusting plate 34 and connected to the end of the water spray pipe 33 that is not connected to the water inlet pipe 11. The mounting frame 32 is located on the side of the support frame 2 and the two do not contact each other. The adjusting plate 34 can be tilted and adjusted so that the direction of water output from the nozzle 35 can be directed toward the opening of the glassware on the support rod 21 placed on the support frame 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment plate 34 can form an angle of 25-80° with the horizontal plane.

[0029] The bottom of the machine body 1 is provided with a drain outlet 12, and a valve is provided on the drain outlet 12. The valve is closed during use, and can be opened to drain water after cleaning. The top of the machine body is provided with a liquid inlet for adding cleaning agent, or adding cleaning agent to a water source (such as a pool or tank) and spraying it out from the nozzle to facilitate cleaning of glassware. The machine body 1 is provided with a cleaning chamber 13, and the support frame and spraying mechanism are located in the cleaning chamber. The side of the machine body 1 is hinged with a door 14, which can be opened or closed by opening and closing the door. A hot air outlet 15 can be provided on the top side of the machine body. The hot air outlet is higher than the highest water level in the cleaning chamber. Hot air is blown in by a hot air blower to facilitate drying of glassware with hot air after cleaning, shortening waiting time and accelerating usage efficiency.

[0030] The support frame has several support rods spaced apart along its length, with the spacing between the support rods such that the glassware placed on it will not touch each other.

[0031] The water inlet pipe can be connected to a booster pump to increase the pressure of the incoming water and meet the different water pressure requirements during spraying and rinsing; a valve can be installed on the outer part of the water inlet pipe to control the water flow or to turn the water on or off as needed.

[0032] One side of each end of the adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. To facilitate the rotation and fixation of the adjustment plate, after adjusting the adjustment plate to the appropriate position, it can be fixed to the mounting bracket with a pin.

[0033] Instructions for use: Close the drain outlet, open the machine door, and invert the glassware to be cleaned onto the support rod one by one, then close the machine door; open the valve on the water inlet pipe, start the pressure pump, and water will spray from the nozzle to rinse the glassware; the water sprayed from the nozzle will gradually soak the glassware in the cleaning chamber, allowing dirt inside the glassware to fall into the water. After rinsing, open the drain outlet to drain the water; turn on the hot air blower to allow hot air to enter the hot air outlet to dry the glassware in the cleaning chamber. After a period of time, turn off the hot air blower, open the machine door, and remove the glassware after the temperature has dropped to a suitable level; before use, the direction of the nozzle can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment plate according to the structure of the glassware and the position of the opening to meet specific usage needs.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the spraying mechanism 3 also includes a lifting device 36, which is located on the top of the body 1; the lifting rod of the lifting device 36 passes through the side wall of the body 1 and is connected to the support rod 31 so that the mounting frame 32 can be adjusted up and down to change its position.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame 32 has a number of openings 37 (not shown in the figure); the number of openings 37 is the same as the number of support frames 2; the length and width of the openings 37 are greater than the length and width of the support frames 2, so that the mounting frame 32 is not affected by the support frames 2 when it moves up and down.

[0037] The support frame 2 is provided in several groups at intervals along the width of the body 1; the spray mechanism 3 is also provided in several groups and is located outside each group of support frame 2, so that each group of spray nozzles 35 has an opening facing the glassware placed on each group of support rods 21.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, each set of nozzles 35 has two types: the first nozzle 351 is located on the adjusting plate 34 and faces upward at an angle toward the opening of the glassware; the second nozzle 352 is located on the connecting rod between the support rods 31 and faces downward at an angle toward the glassware; the first nozzle 351 and the second nozzle 352 spray water in opposite directions.

[0039] Different glassware structures and openings may have different features; therefore, a lifting device is installed. During operation, the lifting rod can be extended downwards, causing the mounting frame to descend and the spray nozzle to move downwards to a suitable position for rinsing the interior of the glassware. During rinsing and soaking, the lifting rod can be raised using the lifting device, keeping the spray nozzle outside the liquid and preventing corrosion from cleaning agents during prolonged immersion, thus extending the service life of the components. Openings on the mounting frame prevent it from being affected by the support frame during the up-and-down movement of the mounting frame with the lifting rod. Two lifting devices can operate simultaneously to control the raising and lowering of the mounting frame, ensuring that the mounting frame can be raised and lowered horizontally and smoothly.

[0040] Setting up multiple support racks makes it easier to place more glassware, while matching the appropriate number of spray mechanisms makes it easy to rinse the inverted glassware on each support rack, improving work efficiency.

[0041] Cleaning the inside of glassware is key, which can be done using the first nozzle angled upwards; while for dirt adhering to the outer surface of the glassware, water can be sprayed down using the second nozzle angled downwards; by using the first and second nozzles in combination, both the inside and outside of the glassware can be rinsed, ensuring a thorough cleaning.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 2 is provided with a fixed lug 22, and the support rod 21 is movably disposed on the support frame 2 in the area between the fixed lugs 22; the fixed lugs 22 and the support rod 21 are connected by a pin.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 2 is also provided with an auxiliary plate 23, which is located between adjacent fixed ear groups 22 on the same support frame 2.

[0045] During cleaning, the glassware is inverted and inserted into the support rod. To facilitate rinsing, the open end of the glassware should face the spray nozzle as much as possible, so a fixing lug is provided. The bottom of the support rod can be movably connected to the mounting bracket, allowing the support rod to rotate back and forth to adjust its orientation. After adjusting the orientation, the support rod can be fixed to the fixing lug using a pin. The fixing lug has an arc-shaped insertion hole on its side, allowing the pin to pass through for fixing during use. The support brackets on the front and rear sides of the support rod have grooves to allow the support rod to rotate smoothly to the appropriate position.

[0046] The width of the auxiliary plate is smaller than the width of the support frame. It is set on the mounting frame so that there is a certain gap between the inverted glassware and the support frame, thereby reducing the contact area between the open part of the glassware and the support frame, making it easier for the nozzle to spray water for rinsing.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, an ultrasonic transducer 16 can be installed on the outside of the machine body 1. The ultrasonic transducer 16 is connected to the ultrasonic generator 17 and is mainly used to clean dirt that is difficult to rinse off with water sprayed from the nozzle. Water and cleaning solution can be mixed and sprayed out from the nozzle for initial spray rinsing. At the same time, the sprayed water can accumulate in the machine body. When it reaches a suitable position, the glassware can be soaked. At this time, the ultrasonic generator is turned on to perform ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, the ultrasonic generator is turned off, the drain is opened to drain the water, and the valve is closed after drainage. Then the pressure pump is started, and the lifting device moves the mounting frame down to a suitable position. The first nozzle and the second nozzle spray water to rinse the inside and outside of the glassware. After rinsing, the pressure pump is turned off, and the lifting device controls the lifting rod to move up, so that the mounting frame moves up to a suitable position. The hot air fan is turned on, and hot air enters the cleaning chamber from the hot air port to dry the cleaned glassware. After drying, the hot air fan is turned off, the machine door is opened, and the glassware can be taken out after the temperature drops to a suitable level.

[0048] The components involved in this invention, such as the telescopic device, pressure pump, hot air blower, ultrasonic transducer, and ultrasonic generator, are not the innovations of this application, and their specific models are not described here.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, the phrase "comprising an element defined as..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
