[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through its supporting plate, motor, transmission device, first sprocket, connecting rod, second sprocket, and chain, solves the problems of slowed production processes, reduced bottle rinsing machine capacity, and increased sterilization costs and energy consumption. Driven by the chain, the sprockets on both sides rotate synchronously inside. Simultaneously, the connecting column fixedly connected to the two supporting plates and the middle of the chain box provides auxiliary support and positioning, ensuring the structural stability of the chain box and its internal components. Inside the chain box, each first and second sprocket meshes with the inside of a chain. When the first sprocket rotates under the drive of the rotating rod, the second sprocket rotates synchronously through the chain's meshing transmission, effectively improving the bottle rinsing machine's production rhythm and capacity, ensuring that bottles of various shapes can be effectively cleaned, and expanding the bottle rinsing machine's applicability.

Under pressure, the hydraulic rod extends its telescopic end, moving the connecting rod fixed to it. Since its rear end is fixed to the hinge frame, the hinge frame is propelled forward. Inside the hinge frame, two support rods are cleverly rotatably connected. This rotatable connection allows the support rods to adjust their angle flexibly. As the hinge frame moves forward, the support rods gradually unfold, and the clamping blocks fixed to the front wall of the support rods also move. The two clamping blocks approach each other until they are tightly pressed against the outer wall of the bottle, using friction to firmly hold the bottle. This effectively reduces downtime caused by equipment malfunctions or the need for manual bottle repositioning, allowing the bottle rinsing machine to operate continuously and stably, greatly increasing the effective working time of the equipment and thus improving production efficiency.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: The bottle rinsing machine flipping mechanism includes a base plate 1. Support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper side wall of the base plate 1. Chain boxes 3 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the two support plates 2. The two support plates 2 at the top of the base plate 1 support and fix the devices on the left and right sides, and the chain boxes 3 protect the first sprocket 8 and the chain 12 inside from the outside.

[0027] A motor 4 is installed on the left side of the left support plate 2. The output end of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to a transmission device 5. The right side wall of the transmission device 5 is threadedly connected to the top of the left support plate 2. The transmission device 5 transmits the power of the motor 4 on one hand, and on the other hand, it is threadedly connected to the top of the left support plate 2 to ensure that its own position and the motor 4 are stable and will not shift or shake during operation.

[0028] A rotating rod 6 is fixedly connected inside the transmission device 5. Both ends of the rotating rod 6 are connected through the chain box 3 and the top of the support plate 2. Fixers 7 are rotatably connected to the outer sides of the left and right ends of the rotating rod 6. The inner sidewalls of the two fixers 7 are threaded to the outer top of the two support plates 2. The rotating rod 6, which is fixedly connected inside the transmission device 5, starts to rotate under the drive of the motor 4. The left and right ends of the rotating rod 6 are connected through the chain box 3 and the top of the support plate 2, and its axial position is further stabilized by the fixers 7 rotatably connected to the outer top of the support plate 2 to prevent the rotating rod 6 from moving axially.

[0029] Two first sprockets 8 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both ends of the rotating rod 6. These two first sprockets 8 are located inside the two chain boxes 3. When the rotating rod 6 is driven, the first sprockets 8 at both ends of the rotating rod 6 will rotate inside the chain boxes 3. Connecting posts 9 are fixedly connected to the middle of the two support plates 2 and the chain boxes 3. These connecting posts 9, fixed to the middle of the two support plates 2 and the chain boxes 3, connect the left and right support plates 2 and the chain boxes 3 to maintain stable support during operation.

[0030] Two support plates 2 and chain box 3 are connected internally by a 10. The outer sides of both ends of the 10 are fixedly connected to second sprockets 11. The outer sides of the two second sprockets 11 are set inside the bottom of the two chain boxes 3. The inside of the two chain boxes 3 is set with chains 12. Each first sprocket 8 and second sprocket 11 meshes with the inside of a chain 12. Through the inside of the chain box 3, each first sprocket 8 and second sprocket 11 meshes with the inside of a chain 12. When the first sprocket 8 rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 6, the second sprocket 11 also rotates synchronously through the meshing transmission of the chain 12, and supports the bottom of the chain 12 through the second sprocket 11.

[0031] As shown above, when the motor 4 rotates in the opposite direction, the first sprocket 8 drives the chain 12 to rotate. The clamping device inside the device box 19 on the chain 12 firmly fixes the bottle, so that it moves with the chain 12 and gradually flips from the initial upright position to the rear to clean the bottle.

[0032] After cleaning, the motor 4 rotates in the forward direction, driving the chain 12 to put the cleaned bottles back onto the conveyor belt 18, so that the bottles can be transported to the next device.

[0033] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a water collection tank 13 is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the two support plates 2, and the water sprayed through the spray pipe 17 is collected by the water collection tank 13.

[0034] A pump 14 is installed on the rear side of the upper side wall of the base plate 1. An adapter pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the input end of the pump 14, and a conveying pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump 14. A connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe 15. Both sides of the connecting pipe 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water collection tank 13. Spray pipes 17 are connected to the top of each of the connecting pipes 16. All six spray pipes 17 penetrate the interior of the water collection tank 13. The pump 14 is connected to an external water tank and cleaning fluid via the adapter pipe 26. The pump draws out external liquid, which is then conveyed to the connecting pipes 16 via the conveying pipe 15 at the output end of the pump 14. The liquid is then evenly distributed into the five spray pipes 17 through the connecting pipes 16 to rinse the bottles that have been turned over. A conveyor belt 18 is installed on the front side of the upper side wall of the base plate 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the front portion of each of the two chains 12 is threadedly connected to a device housing 19. The device housing 19 is operated by connecting its left and right sides to the front portion of the two chains 12. Each device housing 19 has an outer shell 20 inside, which protects the internal device. The outer shell 20 is connected to the inner wall of the device housing 19 to fix the device inside.

[0036] Each of the five outer casings 20 contains a hydraulic rod 21. The telescopic ends of each hydraulic rod 21 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 22. The rear ends of each connecting rod 22 are fixedly connected to a hinge frame 23. Each hinge frame 23 has two rotatably connected support rods 24. A clamping block 25 is fixedly connected to the front sidewall of every two support rods 24. Under pressure from the hydraulic rods 21, the telescopic ends extend outwards, causing the connecting rods 22 fixed to the telescopic ends to move. Since their rear ends are fixedly connected to the hinge frame 23, the hinge frame 23 is propelled forward. The hinge frame 23 cleverly contains two rotatably connected support rods 24. This rotatable connection allows the support rods 24 to flexibly adjust their angles. As the hinge frame 23 moves forward, the support rods 24 gradually unfold, and the clamping blocks 25 fixed to the front sidewall of the support rods 24 also move. The two clamping blocks 25 approach each other until they are tightly pressed against the outer wall of the bottle, using friction to firmly clamp the bottle.

[0037] It should be noted that this utility model is a bottle rinsing machine flipping mechanism. First, the motor 4 and hydraulic rod 21 are connected to the external power supply and control terminal to supply power and control the device.

[0038] First, the entire mechanism relies on the base plate 1. The base plate 1 serves as the foundation, and the support plates 2 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of its upper sidewall provide stable vertical support for subsequent components. The chain box 3 fixed to the inner sidewall of the two support plates 2 plays the role of protecting the chain 12 and also provides a closed and standardized space for the operation of the sprocket, avoiding interference from external debris with the chain transmission.

[0039] When the bottle rinsing machine starts the cleaning process, motor 4 begins to run. The transmission device 5, fixedly connected to its output end, plays a crucial role in transmission and connection. Transmission device 5 transmits power from motor 4 and, through a threaded connection to the top of the left support plate 2, ensures its own position and the stability of motor 4, preventing displacement or shaking during operation. The rotating rod 6, fixedly connected inside transmission device 5, begins to rotate under the drive of motor 4. The left and right ends of the rotating rod 6 are connected through the chain box 3 and the top of the support plate 2, and its axial position is further stabilized by a fixing device 7, which is threadedly connected to the outer top of the support plate 2, preventing axial movement of the rotating rod 6.

[0040] After being driven by the rotating rod 6, the first sprockets 8 on both ends of the rotating rod 6 will also rotate synchronously inside the chain box 3. At the same time, the two support plates 2 and the connecting column 9 fixedly connected to the middle of the chain box 3 play an auxiliary support and positioning role, ensuring the structural stability of the chain box 3 and its internal components. Inside the chain box 3, each first sprocket 8 and second sprocket 11 meshes with the inside of a chain 12. When the first sprocket 8 rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 6, the second sprocket 11 also rotates synchronously through the meshing transmission of the chain 12.

[0041] The chain 12 is connected to the left and right sides of the device box 19 via a portion of its front side, driving the device box 19 to rotate. The bottle is held in place by a clamping device inside the device box 19, causing it to rotate. When the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the first sprocket 8 drives the chain 12 to circulate in a predetermined direction. The clamping device inside the device box 19 firmly holds the bottle, causing it to move with the chain 12, gradually flipping it from an initial upright position to the rear for cleaning. After cleaning, the motor 4 rotates in the forward direction, driving the chain 12 to place the cleaned bottle back onto the conveyor belt 18, transporting it to the next device.

[0042] After the conveyor belt 18 transports the bottle to the middle of the device, the hydraulic rod 21, under pressure, extends its telescopic end outward. The connecting rod 22, fixed to the telescopic end, moves accordingly. Since its rear end is fixedly connected to the hinge frame 23, the hinge frame 23 is propelled forward. Two support rods 24 are cleverly rotatably connected inside the hinge frame 23. This rotatable connection allows the support rods 24 to flexibly adjust their angles. As the hinge frame 23 moves forward, the support rods 24 gradually unfold under their influence, and the clamping blocks 25 fixed to the front side wall of the support rods 24 also move accordingly. The two clamping blocks 25 approach each other until they are tightly pressed against the outer wall of the bottle, using friction to firmly hold the bottle in place.

[0043] After the bottles are cleaned and need to be unloaded or transferred to the next stage, the hydraulic system controls the hydraulic rod 21 to retract. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 21 moves back along with the connecting rod 22, and the hinge frame 23 also moves back. The support rod 24 gradually retracts under the pull of the hinge frame 23, and the clamp 25 releases its grip on the bottle. The bottle can then smoothly detach from the flipping mechanism and fall onto the conveyor belt 18 to be transported to the next device.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
