[0002] Bottle cleaning is an important process on the filling line. Currently, after the bottles are sorted by the sorting equipment, they are transported to the cleaning equipment by the conveyor belt in batches for cleaning.

[0003] Current cleaning equipment mainly uses rinsing for cleaning. Generally, a row of nozzles is set above the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt transports multiple bottles to the area below the nozzles, the nozzles spray water to clean the bottles. Then, the bottles are flipped over by a turning zone composed of multiple guide lines on the conveyor line to drain the water before drying.

[0004] Existing cleaning equipment requires the installation of a turning zone, resulting in a long production line, a large footprint, and relatively low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] Each of the two clamping plates has several grooves on the side that is close to each other, and the grooves on the two clamping plates are in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0020] Optionally, the flipping component includes:

[0021] The motor has its output shaft positioned horizontally.

[0022] The main shaft is coaxially connected at one end to the output shaft of the motor.

[0023] The clamping assembly is mounted on the main shaft, which is the output part of the flipping assembly.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0035] Bottles to be cleaned are conveyed to the clamping assembly via a conveyor belt. The clamping assembly holds multiple bottles, and then a flipping assembly drives the clamping assembly and bottles to rotate 180°, so that all the bottles are upside down on all the nozzles. The nozzles then rinse the inner walls of the bottles. After rinsing, because the bottles are upside down, only a small amount of liquid will remain on the inner walls of the bottles. The flipping assembly then drives the clamping assembly and bottles to rotate 180° in the opposite direction, and the cleaned bottles are placed back on the conveyor belt, completing the cleaning process. The small amount of liquid remaining inside the bottles is then dried in a subsequent drying device.

Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Example:

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses a bottle tilting and cleaning device, including a frame (not shown in the figure), a conveyor belt 10, a clamping assembly 20, a tilting assembly 30, a spray nozzle 40, and a lifting assembly 50. The conveyor belt 10 is mounted on the frame and is arranged horizontally on the frame; the conveyor belt 10 is used to transport bottles that need to be cleaned.

[0045] The clamping assembly 20 is mounted on the frame and has a clamping part located above the conveyor belt 10, which can clamp the bottles on the conveyor belt 10.

[0046] The flipping assembly 30 is mounted on the frame. The flipping assembly 30 has an output section that is connected to the clamping assembly 20 and is used to drive the clamping assembly 20 to rotate 180°. When the flipping assembly 30 drives the clamping assembly 20 to rotate, the rotation axis of the clamping assembly 20 is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor belt 10, and the flipping assembly 30 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 10.

[0047] Multiple nozzles 40 are provided on the side of the flipping assembly 30 away from the conveyor belt 10. The nozzles 40 are arranged in the vertical direction, and each nozzle 40 has a nozzle at its top. All nozzles 40 are arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the clamping part of the clamping assembly 20 can clamp the same number of bottles as the number of nozzles 40 at one time.

[0049] The aforementioned lifting assembly 50 is poweredly connected to all nozzles 40 and is used to drive all nozzles 40 to move up and down slightly in the vertical direction.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the bottles to be cleaned are transported to the clamping assembly 20 by the conveyor belt 10. Multiple bottles are clamped by the clamping part of the clamping assembly 20. Then, the flipping assembly 30 drives the clamping assembly 20 and the bottles to rotate 180°, so that all the bottles are upside down on all the nozzles 40. The inner wall of the bottle is then rinsed by the nozzles 40. During the rinsing process, the lifting assembly 50 drives all the nozzles 40 to move up and down slightly, so that the nozzles move up and down slightly inside the bottle, thereby achieving complete rinsing of the inner wall of the bottle.

[0051] After rinsing, since the bottle is upside down, only a small amount of liquid will adhere to the inner wall of the bottle. Then, the flipping component 30 drives the clamping component and the bottle to rotate 180° in the opposite direction, and the cleaned bottle is placed back on the conveyor belt 10 to complete the cleaning action. The small amount of liquid adhering to the bottle will be dried in the subsequent drying equipment.

[0052] This technical solution can reduce the footprint of equipment and improve the production efficiency of the entire production line.

[0053] Preferably, the nozzle at the end of the nozzle 40 is a rotary type, which can enhance the cleaning effect when rinsing the inner wall of the bottle.

[0054] In one specific embodiment;

[0055] The clamping assembly 20 includes a support rod 21, a clamping plate 22, a clamping cylinder 23, and a connecting plate 24. One end of the support rod 21 is fixedly mounted on the output part of the flipping assembly 30. The length direction of the support rod 21 is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 10. A clamping cylinder 23 is provided at the end of the support rod 21. A connecting plate 24 is also provided at the end of the support rod 21. Another clamping cylinder 23 is connected to the support rod 21 through the connecting plate 24.

[0056] The piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 23 move in opposite directions, and both clamping cylinders 23 are perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 10. A clamping plate 22 is fixedly installed at the end of the piston rod of each clamping cylinder 23, such that the two clamping plates 22 are located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 10, and their length directions are parallel to the length direction of the conveyor belt 10. Driven by the two clamping cylinders 23, the two clamping plates 22 can move closer to or further away from each other, thereby clamping and releasing the bottle.

[0057] In this embodiment, the two clamping plates 22 are the clamping parts of the clamping assembly 20. By moving the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 23 in opposite directions, the two clamping plates 22 can be moved closer or further apart. In addition, the connecting plate 24 is placed between the support rod 21 and the clamping cylinder 23 to prevent the top of the bottle from contacting the support rod 21 during the conveyor belt 10's transport of the bottle.

[0058] Preferably, multiple arc-shaped grooves 25 are provided on the side of the two clamping plates 22 that are close to each other. All the grooves 25 on the two clamping plates 22 are in a one-to-one correspondence, and the number of grooves 25 on the clamping plates 22 is the same as the number of nozzles 40.

[0059] The arc-shaped groove 25 on the clamping plate 22 can be used to determine the position of the bottle, so as to ensure that after the flipping assembly 30 drives the clamping assembly 20 and the bottle to flip, the bottle can be placed upside down on the nozzle 40.

[0060] In another specific embodiment:

[0061] The flipping assembly 30 includes a motor 31 and a main shaft 32. The motor 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame. The output shaft of the motor 31 is arranged horizontally and parallel to the conveyor belt 10. The end of the output shaft of the motor 31 is coaxially connected to one end of the main shaft 32. The end of the support rod 21 of the clamping assembly 20 is vertically fixedly connected to the main shaft 32. Thus, when the motor 31 drives the main shaft 32 to rotate, the main shaft 32 can drive the clamping assembly 20 to rotate. Therefore, the main shaft 32 is the output part of the flipping assembly 30.

[0062] In another specific embodiment:

[0063] All nozzles 40 are mounted on a square tube 41, which is equipped with a water supply pipe that centrally supplies water to all nozzles 40.

[0064] The bottom of the square tube 41 is connected to the lifting assembly 50. A guide rod is provided at each end of the square tube 41. The guide rods are set in the vertical direction. By setting guide rods at both ends of the square tube 41, the square tube 41 can only move in the vertical direction.

[0065] In another specific embodiment:

[0066] The lifting assembly 50 includes a support block 51, a drive block 52, and a lifting cylinder 53. The support block 51 is located at the bottom of the square tube 41, and its bottom surface is an inclined sliding surface. The drive block 52 is slidably mounted on the frame, and its top surface is an inclined driving surface, which slides in contact with the aforementioned sliding surface.

[0067] The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly mounted on the frame, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 is located at one end of the drive block 52, and the lifting cylinder 53 is located on a horizontal surface.

[0068] In this embodiment, the lifting cylinder 53 drives the driving block 52 to move back and forth on the horizontal plane, thereby enabling the driving square tube 41 and the nozzle 40 to make small movements in the vertical direction through the contact between the driving surface and the sliding surface.

[0069] Generally, a lifting component 50 is installed at each end of the square tube 41 to improve the stability of the square tube 41's movement.

[0070] Preferably, the bottom of the support block 51 has a limiting groove, and the top surface of the drive block 52 has a protruding limiting block. The limiting block matches the limiting groove. By setting the limiting block and the limiting groove, the relative position between the drive block 52 and the support block 51 can be limited, ensuring that the two have relative movement in only one direction.

[0071] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
