Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a plastic bottle cleaning device, specifically a cleaning device for plastic bottle processing, and belongs to the field of plastic bottle processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing of plastic bottles, the surface of the plastic bottles often gets contaminated with dust, oil, and some impurities left over from the production process. In order to ensure their hygiene quality, it is necessary to clean the plastic bottles.

[0003] However, traditional plastic bottle cleaning often involves pouring all the plastic bottles into a water tank for cleaning. The water in the tank becomes contaminated after repeated use, making it difficult to clean the plastic bottles thoroughly. Moreover, after the plastic bottles are cleaned, workers need to take them out and pour out the water. This method is inefficient and increases the workload.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a cleaning device for plastic bottle processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a cleaning device for plastic bottle processing, specifically as follows:

[0006] A cleaning device for plastic bottle processing includes an annular guide rail, with a gripper and a collection trough at the lower end of the annular guide rail. A first electric push rod is connected to the side end of the annular guide rail, and a supporting water pipe is connected to the lower end of the first electric push rod. Multiple cleaning mechanisms are connected to the upper end of the supporting water pipe. Each cleaning mechanism includes an outer cleaning plate, an inner cleaning rod rotatably connected to the center of the outer cleaning plate, multiple water spray heads at the outer end of the inner cleaning rod, and a high-pressure water pump at the outer end of the collection trough. A water guide hose is connected between the outlet of the high-pressure water pump and the supporting water pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the annular guide rail is connected to a support column, the inner wall of the gripper is provided with a rubber pad, the surface of the rubber pad is provided with an anti-slip groove, the lower end of the annular guide rail is connected to a mounting plate, and the lower end of the mounting plate is connected to a connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, a second electric push rod is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod, a slide rod is connected between the connecting rods, the gripper is slidably connected to the outer end of the slide rod, and a spring is connected between the grippers, the spring being always in a compressed state.

[0009] Preferably, the drive end of the second electric push rod is connected to a slant rod, the inner wall of the slant rod is set as an inclined surface, the two sides of the gripper are connected to sliders, the side end of the slider is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the slant rod is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the slider.

[0010] Preferably, the supporting water pipe is located at the upper end of the collection tank, a drain pipe is provided at the outer end of the collection tank, multiple water spray holes are opened on the inner wall surface of the outer ring cleaning plate, and the outer ring cleaning plate is located at the outer end of the gripper.

[0011] Preferably, the internal cleaning rod is inserted inside the plastic bottle, the internal cleaning rod is connected to the outer ring cleaning plate, and the water outlet of the spray head is oriented in the tangential direction of the cross-section of the internal cleaning rod.

[0012] Preferably, a drying box is provided on the side end of the annular guide rail, the gripper can move inside the drying box, the drying box is located at the upper end of the collection tank, a discharge chute is provided on the side end of the drying box, and a loading table is provided on the side end of the annular guide rail, with both the discharge chute and the loading table located at the lower end of the gripper.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This cleaning device for plastic bottle processing is equipped with a cleaning mechanism that can simultaneously rinse the outer surface and inner wall of the plastic bottle. Specifically, when the plastic bottle is moved to the upper end of the cleaning mechanism by the gripper, the first electric push rod drives the supporting water pipe to rise. The outer ring cleaning plate will then be located at the outer end of the plastic bottle, and the inner cleaning plate will be inserted into the plastic bottle. The high-pressure water pump injects cleaning water into the supporting water pipe through the water guide hose. Then, the water flow will enter the outer ring cleaning plate and the inner cleaning rod respectively. The water flow is sprayed from the water outlet of the outer ring cleaning plate towards the outer end of the plastic bottle to clean it. The water flow is sprayed from the spray head of the inner cleaning rod. Due to the angle setting of the spray head, under the reverse force of the water pressure, the inner cleaning rod can spray water and rotate at the same time, thereby rinsing the inner wall of the plastic bottle. It has high cleaning efficiency and good effect, and can effectively save labor.

[0015] 2. This cleaning device for processing plastic bottles is equipped with grippers. When the operator places the plastic bottle in the grippers, the second electric push rod is activated, which pushes the inclined rod at the drive end to move. The movement of the inclined rod interacts with the slider, providing lateral thrust to the slider. This allows the grippers to move at the outer end of the sliding rod, thereby clamping and fixing the plastic bottle. This allows the annular guide rail to move the plastic bottle. The movement of the grippers is related to the extension length of the second electric push rod. By reasonably setting the extension length of the second electric push rod, the grippers can be positioned precisely at the outer end of the plastic bottle, thus avoiding excessive compression of the plastic bottle.

[0016] 3. This cleaning device for plastic bottle processing, by incorporating a drying chamber, can dry residual water stains on the plastic bottles, thereby keeping the bottle surface dry and clean and improving the hygiene quality of the plastic bottles. With the addition of a discharge tray, when the grippers move to the top of the tray, the second electric push rod on its side retracts, releasing the grippers from the plastic bottles and allowing them to fall onto the discharge tray for unloading. This eliminates the need for prolonged waiting for the plastic bottles to dry naturally, shortening the entire production cycle and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the cleaning and drying processes are fully automated, reducing manual intervention and lowering labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 7The system includes an annular guide rail 1, with support columns connected to its inner wall for fixation. A gripper 2 is located at the lower end of the annular guide rail 1, used to hold and fix the plastic bottle. A rubber pad is located on the inner wall of the gripper 2, with anti-slip grooves on its surface to increase friction with the plastic bottle and improve the gripping and fixing effect. A mounting plate 201 is connected to the lower end of the annular guide rail 1, and a connecting rod 202 is connected to the lower end of the mounting plate 201. A second electric push rod 203 is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 202, and a sliding rod 202 connects the connecting rods 202. 4. The gripper 2 is slidably connected to the outer end of the slide rod 204. The connecting rod 202 is used to fix the second electric push rod 203 and support the slide rod 204. A spring 205 is connected between the grippers 2. The spring 205 is always in a compressed state, providing a thrust to the gripper 2, so that it has a tendency to move to both sides. The drive end of the second electric push rod 203 is connected to the inclined rod 206. The inner wall of the inclined rod 206 is set as an inclined surface. Slider 207 is connected to both sides of the gripper 2. The side end of the slider 207 is set with an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the inclined rod 206 is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the slider 207.

[0027] When the second electric push rod 203 is activated, it will push the inclined rod 206 at the drive end to move. The movement of the inclined rod 206 interacts with the slider 207, providing a lateral thrust to the slider 207. This allows the gripper 2 to move at the outer end of the slide rod 204, thereby gripping and fixing the plastic bottle. This allows the annular guide rail 1 to move the plastic bottle.

[0028] A collection trough 3 is provided at the lower end of the annular guide rail 1. The collection trough 3 is used to collect cleaning water. A drain pipe is provided at the outer end of the collection trough 3. A first electric push rod 4 is connected to the side end of the annular guide rail 1. A support water pipe 5 is connected to the lower end of the first electric push rod 4. The support water pipe 5 is located at the upper end of the collection trough 3. Multiple sets of cleaning mechanisms 6 are connected to the upper end of the support water pipe 5. The cleaning mechanism 6 is used to spray water to rinse the plastic bottles. A high-pressure water pump 7 is provided at the outer end of the collection trough 3. A water guide hose 8 is connected between the outlet of the high-pressure water pump 7 and the support water pipe 5. The presence of the water guide hose 8 allows the support water pipe 5 to move under the drive of the first electric push rod 4. The cleaning mechanism 6 includes an outer ring cleaning plate 60. 1. The outer ring cleaning plate 601 is located at the outer end of the gripper 2. Multiple water spray holes are opened on the inner wall surface of the outer ring cleaning plate 601. An inner cleaning rod 602 is rotatably connected to the center of the outer ring cleaning plate 601. Multiple water spray heads 603 are provided at the outer end of the inner cleaning rod 602. The inner cleaning rod 602 is inserted into the plastic bottle and is connected to the outer ring cleaning plate 601. The water outlet of the water spray head 603 is oriented in the tangential direction of the cross section of the inner cleaning rod 602. When the water spray head 603 sprays water, under the reverse impact force of the water pressure, it will provide a tangential thrust to the inner cleaning rod 602, thereby enabling the inner cleaning rod 602 to rotate.

[0029] A drying chamber 9 is provided on the side of the annular guide rail 1. The gripper 2 can move inside the drying chamber 9. The drying chamber 9 is located above the collection tank 3. The drying chamber 9 can generate heat to dry the plastic bottles that pass through it. A discharge hopper 10 is provided on the side of the drying chamber 9. A loading table 11 is provided on the side of the annular guide rail 1. Both the discharge hopper 10 and the loading table 11 are located below the gripper 2. The operator fixes the plastic bottles in the gripper 2 at the loading table 11.
