Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to an automatic jar washing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing wine or vinegar, to ensure the final product has a unique flavor, the brewed product is usually stored for a long period under specified conditions. For storage, relatively large containers, such as earthenware jars, are typically used. Before jarring, these jars usually require thorough cleaning to remove contaminants from their surface. Earthenware jars are typically made of sintered clay; to ensure sufficient strength and prevent breakage, their walls are usually thick, resulting in a relatively heavy weight when their capacity is relatively large. Manual cleaning requires moving, tilting, and turning the jars to clean the relatively deep bottom and to completely empty the wastewater, making the entire cleaning process complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Therefore, existing technologies include automated jar-washing devices that typically use nozzles and brushes to scrub the inner and outer walls of the jars. However, for stubborn stains on the jars, existing jar-washing devices are insufficient to remove them in one go, and their cleaning effectiveness needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0050] This application provides an automatic jar washing system, such as... Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the automatic jar washing system includes:

[0051] The container transfer device 100 transfers containers. The container transfer device 100 has a first station, a second station, a third station and a fourth station, which are arranged sequentially along the transfer direction of the containers.

[0052] The wetting device 200 is set at the first station. When the jar container is transferred to the first station, the mouth of the jar is facing upward. The wetting device 200 sprays water on the inner and outer walls of the jar container to wet the inner and outer walls of the jar container.

[0053] A first cleaning device 300 is installed at the second work station, and the first cleaning device 300 cleans at least the inner wall of the container.

[0054] The flipping device 400 is set at the third station. The flipping device 400 flips the jar container so that the mouth of the jar container faces downward.

[0055] The second cleaning device 500 is located at the fourth station and cleans at least the outer wall of the container.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the container transfer device 100 is exemplarily described as a production line for transferring containers. Containers can be loaded onto the container transfer device 100 using tooling such as pallets. The container transfer device 100 may be sequentially equipped with a first station, a second station, a third station, and a fourth station. The first station, second station, third station, and fourth station may be sequentially arranged according to the transfer direction of the containers, that is, the first station is relatively upstream, and the second station, third station, and fourth station are sequentially downstream of the first station.

[0057] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a wetting device 200 is provided at the first station, a first cleaning device 300 is provided at the second station, a flipping device 400 is provided at the third station, and a second cleaning device 500 is provided at the fourth station. When the container flows on the container transfer device 100, it passes through the first station, the second station, the third station, and the fourth station in sequence. When the container flows to the first station, the wetting device 200 sprays water on the inner and outer walls of the container to wet them. To facilitate the water sprayed by the wetting device 200 entering the container and to ensure the wetting effect on the inner wall of the container, the container opening faces upwards when it flows to the first station to prevent the water sprayed by the wetting device 200 from flowing directly out of the container. When the container continues to flow to the second station, the first cleaning device 300 cleans at least the inner wall of the container. When the container moves to the third station, the tilting device 400 tilts the container so that the opening faces downwards, allowing the wastewater inside to be poured out and facilitating subsequent cleaning of the container's outer wall. When the container continues to the fourth station, the second cleaning device 500 cleans at least the outer wall of the container.

[0058] Understandably, this application achieves comprehensive cleaning of the container by using the first cleaning device 300 to clean at least the inner wall of the container and the second cleaning device 500 to clean at least the outer wall of the container, thus avoiding any blind spots. By using the flipping device 400 to flip the container, the cleaning wastewater inside the container can be poured out after cleaning the inner wall, making it less likely for wastewater to remain. Furthermore, by using the wetting device 200 to wet the inner and outer walls of the container before cleaning, the cleaning effect of the cleaning device on the inner and outer walls of the container can be guaranteed. Even if there are stubborn stains on the container, the cleaning device can successfully remove them, reducing the probability of secondary cleaning of the container.

[0059] Specifically, the immersion device 200 includes a first immersion nozzle 210 and a second immersion nozzle 220. The first immersion nozzle 210 is directed toward the inner wall of the container to spray water onto the inner wall of the container, and the second immersion nozzle 220 is directed toward the outer wall of the container to spray water onto the outer wall of the container.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the wetting of the inner and outer walls of the container can be accomplished by a nozzle. The nozzle can be connected to a water source to pressurize and spray water supplied by the water source onto the inner and outer walls of the container. Before the container flows to the corresponding station of the cleaning device, the water sprayed from the nozzle can wet the inner and outer walls of the container during the flow period. The wetting device 200 may specifically include a first wetting nozzle 210 for spraying water onto the inner wall of the container to wet the inner wall, and a second wetting nozzle 220 for spraying water onto the outer wall of the container to wet the outer wall. In the arrangement, the first wetting nozzle is directed towards the inner wall of the container, while the second wetting nozzle 220 is directed towards the outer wall of the container.

[0061] It is understood that in this embodiment, by setting the immersion device 200 as a first immersion nozzle 210 corresponding to the inner wall of the container and a second immersion nozzle 220 corresponding to the outer wall of the container, it is convenient to immerse the inner wall and the outer wall of the container respectively, so as to ensure the cleaning effect on the inner wall and the outer wall of the container.

[0062] More specifically, there are several second wetting nozzles 220, and the wetting device 200 also includes a water spray ring 230, with several second wetting nozzles 220 arranged circumferentially on the water spray ring 230.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the first wetting nozzle 210 can be configured as a single nozzle. When the container moves to the first station, the first wetting nozzle 210 can be coaxially arranged with the container and face downwards towards the interior of the container. The water sprayed from the first wetting nozzle 210 can preferably be a diffused spray to more evenly spray onto the inner wall of the container. The second wetting device 200 can be configured as several, for example, eight. When the container moves to the first station, the several second wetting nozzles 220 can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the container. The second wetting nozzles 220 can all be inclined downwards and face the axis of the container. The water sprayed from the second wetting nozzles 220 can also preferably be a diffused spray to more evenly spray onto the outer wall of the container. The several second wetting nozzles 220 can be arranged on a water spray ring 230, which can be a circular tube and connected to a water source. The immersion device 200 may also include a first frame 240, and the water spray ring 230 may be fixed on the first frame 240. The first immersion nozzle 210 may be connected to the water spray ring 230 or directly connected to a water source, which is not limited here.

[0064] It is understood that by setting several second wetting nozzles 220 and arranging them on the water spray ring 230, the second wetting nozzles 220 can spray water evenly onto the outer wall of the container, so as to ensure the wetting effect on the outer wall of the container.

[0065] Specifically, the first cleaning device 300 includes a first brush assembly 310, a brush lifting mechanism 320, and a first brush rotating mechanism 330. The brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise and fall, so that the first brush assembly 310 descends into the container or rises out of the container. The first brush rotating mechanism 330 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rotate, so that the first brush assembly 310 brushes the inner wall of the container when it descends into the container.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the first brush assembly 310 may include a first support 311 and brush bristles fixed on the first support 311. The shape of the brush bristles can be adapted to the shape of the inside of the container. The first brush assembly 310 is used to scrub the inner wall of the container to clean it. Since the first wetting nozzle 210 has pre-wetted the inner wall of the container, even if there are stubborn stains on the inner wall of the container, the first brush assembly 310 can clean them off. The first brush assembly 310 can move vertically through the brush lifting mechanism 320, i.e., it can be raised and lowered. At the same time, the first brush assembly 310 can also be rotated through the first brush rotating mechanism 330 to scrub the inner wall of the container.

[0067] Before the container moves to the second station, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise, allowing it to make way for the container. When the container moves to the second station, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to fall, allowing it to extend into the container. When the first brush assembly 310 is fully inside the container, the first brush rotating mechanism 330 drives it to rotate, causing the bristles to rub against the inner wall of the container, thus scrubbing the inner wall.

[0068] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first brush assembly 310 is driven to rise and fall by the brush lifting mechanism 320 so that the first brush assembly 310 can extend into the interior of the jar container, and the first brush rotating mechanism 330 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rotate so that the first brush assembly 310 can brush the inner wall of the jar container, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the first cleaning device 300 on the inner wall of the jar container.

[0069] More specifically, the first cleaning device 300 also includes a connecting cylinder 340, a first brush rotating mechanism 330 connected to the first brush assembly 310 via the connecting cylinder 340, and a brush lifting mechanism 320 connected to the connecting cylinder 340.

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, the connecting cylinder 340 serves as a connector between the first brush assembly 310 and the first brush rotating mechanism 330 and brush lifting mechanism 320. The connecting cylinder 340 may include an outer cylinder 341 and an inner cylinder 342, wherein the inner cylinder 342 is rotatably disposed within the outer cylinder 341, and the inner cylinder 342 and the outer cylinder 341 can be connected by bearings to ensure smooth rotation of the inner cylinder 342. The first brush assembly 310 may have a rotating shaft mounted on the first bracket 311 with its rotation axis as a reference. The rotating shaft of the first brush assembly 310 may be connected to the inner cylinder 342 to rotate synchronously with the inner cylinder 342. The first brush rotating mechanism 330 may include a first rotating motor 331 and a first reducer 332, both of which may be fixed on the outer cylinder 341. A flange may be provided on the top of the outer cylinder 341 to facilitate the installation of the first rotating motor 331 and the first reducer 332. The first rotating motor 331 and the inner cylinder 342 can be driven by the first reducer 332. When the first rotating motor 331 is working, it can drive the inner cylinder 342 to rotate through the reduction transmission of the first reducer 332. The inner cylinder 342 can further drive the first brush assembly 310 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the first brush assembly 310 to rotate through the first brush rotating mechanism 330.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the brush lifting mechanism 320 can preferably be an electric cylinder. The first cleaning device 300 may also include a second frame 350. The electric cylinder seat of the brush lifting mechanism 320 can be arranged on the second frame 350, and the piston end of the brush lifting mechanism 320 can pass through the second frame 350 and connect to the connecting cylinder 340. When the piston end of the brush lifting mechanism 320 extends or retracts, it can drive the connecting cylinder 340 to rise or fall. The connecting cylinder 340 can further drive the first brush rotating mechanism 330 and the first brush assembly 310 connected to it to rise or fall synchronously, so as to achieve the purpose of extending the first brush assembly 310 into the container through the brush lifting mechanism 320.

[0072] Of course, in some embodiments, the piston end of the brush lifting mechanism 320 may be connected to the first brush assembly 310, and the brush lifting mechanism 320 may directly drive the first brush assembly 310 to rise and fall; while the first brush rotating mechanism 330 may be connected to the electric cylinder base of the brush lifting mechanism 320, and the first brush rotating mechanism 330 may drive the brush lifting mechanism 320 and the first brush assembly 310 to rotate synchronously.

[0073] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first brush rotating mechanism 330 is connected to the first brush assembly 310 through the connecting cylinder 340, and the brush lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the connecting cylinder 340, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the first brush assembly 310 to rotate through the first brush rotating mechanism 330 and extending the first brush assembly 310 into the container through the brush lifting mechanism 320.

[0074] More specifically, the first cleaning device 300 also includes a first guide mechanism 360, which guides the lifting of the first brush assembly 310 when the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise and fall.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the top of the second frame 350 can be configured as a gantry, so that when the container moves to the second station, it is located directly below the gantry at the top of the second frame 350. The brush lifting mechanism 320 can be mounted on the gantry of the second frame 350, and a first guide mechanism 360 can also be mounted on the gantry of the second frame 350. The connecting cylinder 340 is connected to the first guide mechanism 360. When the piston end of the brush lifting mechanism 320 extends or retracts to drive the first brush assembly 310 to rise or fall via the connecting cylinder 340, the first guide mechanism 360 can guide the synchronous rising and falling of the connecting cylinder 340 and the first brush assembly 310.

[0076] It is understood that by setting the first guide mechanism 360 in this embodiment to guide the lifting and lowering of the first brush assembly 310, the lifting and lowering process of the first brush assembly 310 can be made more stable.

[0077] More specifically, the first guide mechanism 360 includes a first guide bar 361 and a first guide slider 362. The first guide bar 361 is vertically arranged, and the first brush assembly 310 is slidably connected to the first guide bar 361 through the first guide slider 362.

[0078] like Figure 4As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, two sets of first guide mechanisms 360 can be provided, and the two sets of first guide mechanisms 360 can be respectively provided on the left and right sides of the gantry of the second frame 350. The first guide bar 361 can be vertically arranged and connected to the inner side of the gantry; while the first guide slider 362 can be slidably connected to the first guide bar 361. A sliding crossbeam 343 can be provided at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 340, wherein the outer cylinder 341 can be detachably arranged in the middle position of the sliding crossbeam 343, and the inner cylinder 342 can pass through the sliding crossbeam 343 and be connected to the first brush assembly 310. The sliding crossbeam 343 can span between the two sets of first guide mechanisms 360, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first guide sliders 362 of the two sets of first guide mechanisms 360. The sliding crossbeam 343 is used to realize the connection between the first guide mechanism 360 and the connecting cylinder 340. When the piston end of the brush lifting mechanism 320 extends and retracts, and the connecting cylinder 340 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise and fall, the connecting cylinder 340 can also drive the first guide slider 362 to slide on the first guide bar 361 through the sliding beam 343. The first guide slider 362 cooperates with the first guide bar 361 to guide the synchronous movement of the first brush assembly 310 driven by the connecting cylinder 340.

[0079] It is understood that in this embodiment, by setting the first guide mechanism 360 as the first guide bar 361 and the first guide slider 362, the guiding function of the first guide mechanism 360 can be easily realized.

[0080] Specifically, the first cleaning device 300 also includes an auxiliary brush assembly 370. The brush lifting mechanism 320 further drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rise and fall, so that the auxiliary brush assembly 370 descends near the outer wall of the jar mouth or rises away from the outer wall of the jar mouth. The first brush rotating mechanism 330 further drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rotate, so that the auxiliary brush assembly 370 brushes the outer wall of the jar mouth when it descends near the outer wall of the jar mouth.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the jar container can be configured to be larger in the middle and smaller at both ends. Furthermore, the height of the jar container extending from the middle towards the mouth can be less than the height extending from the middle towards the bottom. Based on the aforementioned shape of the jar container, when the jar container is flipped so that its mouth faces downwards and the outer wall of the jar container is being cleaned, the outer wall at the mouth of the jar container is difficult to clean due to interference with components such as the tray. Therefore, when the jar container moves to the second station with its mouth still facing upwards, an auxiliary brush assembly 370 can be used to clean the outer wall at the mouth of the jar container first. In other words, the first cleaning device 300 is also used to clean the outer wall at the mouth of the jar container.

[0082] In this embodiment, the auxiliary brush assembly 370 may include an auxiliary support 371 and bristles fixed on the auxiliary support 371. The auxiliary support 371 may be connected to the first support 311, and the bristles on the auxiliary support 371 may be in an inverted funnel shape to fit the outer wall of the jar mouth. When the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise and fall, it drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rise and fall synchronously. Specifically, when the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to extend into the jar, the brush lifting mechanism 320 also drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to contact the outer wall of the jar mouth. When the first brush rotating mechanism 330 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rotate, it also drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rotate, so that when the auxiliary brush assembly 370 contacts the outer wall of the jar mouth, the auxiliary brush assembly 370 brushes the outer wall of the jar mouth.

[0083] It is understood that this embodiment uses an auxiliary brush assembly 370 to facilitate cleaning of the outer wall of the jar mouth, thereby further improving the all-round cleaning effect of the jar and further reducing cleaning dead corners.

[0084] Specifically, the flipping device 400 includes a container clamp 410, a clamping drive mechanism 420, a clamp flipping mechanism 430, and a clamp lifting mechanism 440. A pair of container clamps 410 are provided, and the pair of container clamps 410 are connected to the clamping drive mechanism 420. The clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move relative to each other to clamp or release the container. The clamp flipping mechanism 430 is connected to the clamping drive mechanism 420 and drives the clamping drive mechanism 420 to flip. The clamp lifting mechanism 440 is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430 and drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise and fall.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment, a pair of container clamps 410 are used to clamp the container. During clamping, the pair of container clamps 410 are distributed on the left and right sides of the container's axis. The clamping of the container by the pair of container clamps 410 is accomplished by a clamping drive mechanism 420. The pair of container clamps 410 are connected to the clamping drive mechanism 420, which drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move relative to each other, that is, to move closer to each other or further away from each other, so as to clamp and release the container respectively.

[0086] In detail, the clamping drive mechanism 420 can be an electric cylinder, which can be arranged on the tilting base 421. Two clamping drive mechanisms 420 can be configured, each corresponding to a pair of container clamps 410. The two clamping drive mechanisms 420 can be arranged coaxially, and their piston ends can drive in opposite directions, so that the pair of container clamps 410 can move relative to each other. The pair of container clamps 410 and the tilting base 421 can also be connected by guide components, such as the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail.

[0087] Of course, in some embodiments, the clamping drive mechanism 420 may also be a linear module, which may include two relatively movable module sliders, and a pair of container clamps 410 may be arranged on the two module sliders.

[0088] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping of the jar container can be accomplished by the clamp flipping mechanism 430. The clamping drive mechanism 420 is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430, and the clamp flipping mechanism 430 drives the clamping drive mechanism 420 to flip. When the clamping drive mechanism 420 flips, it can drive a pair of jar container clamps 410 and the jar container held by the pair of jar container clamps 410 to rotate synchronously.

[0089] In detail, the clamping and tilting mechanism 430 may include a tilting drive motor and a tilting reducer 431. Both the tilting drive motor and the tilting reducer 431 can be mounted on the lifting base 432, with the tilting drive motor driving the tilting reducer 431. The tilting base 421 can be driven by a rotating shaft connected to the tilting reducer 431. This rotating shaft can be mounted on a bearing seat for stable support and smooth rotation. Two bearing seats can be spaced apart and mounted on the lifting base 432. When the tilting drive motor operates, it drives the rotating shaft of the tilting base 421 to rotate via the tilting reducer 431, causing the tilting base 421 to rotate. This rotation indirectly drives the clamping drive mechanism 420 to tilt, ultimately achieving the tilting of the container.

[0090] In other embodiments, the clamp flipping mechanism 430 may also include an internal combustion engine and a transmission assembly. The internal combustion engine can be driven to rotate the flipping base 421 through the transmission assembly. When the internal combustion engine is working, it can drive the flipping base 421 to rotate.

[0091] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate placing the jar container between a pair of jar container clamps 410 to further facilitate clamping the jar container; at the same time, in order to facilitate suspending the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to further facilitate flipping the jar container, the clamp flipping mechanism 430 can also be connected to the clamp lifting mechanism 440. The clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise and fall, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420 and the pair of jar container clamps 410 rise and fall synchronously.

[0092] In detail, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 can be an electric cylinder, and its piston end can be connected to the lifting base 432 via a transition frame 433. The transition frame 433 can be configured as a rectangular frame structure, which can be vertically set, and one end can be configured as an inverted "V" shape. The piston end of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 can be connected to the tip of the "V" shape. When the piston end of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 extends or retracts, it can drive the lifting base 432 to rise or fall via the transition frame 433, thereby indirectly driving the clamp tilting mechanism 430 to rise or fall.

[0093] In some embodiments, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 may also be a ball screw mechanism, which may include a ball screw and a screw slide, wherein the ball screw may be vertically arranged, and the lifting base 432 may be connected to the screw slide. When the ball screw rotates, it can cause the screw slide to move along the axial direction of the ball screw, thereby realizing the lifting of the lifting base 432.

[0094] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, before the container moves to the third station, the clamping lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamping flipping mechanism 430 to rise, so that the clamping flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, and the pair of container clamps 410 rise synchronously, thereby making way for the container to enter the third station. Simultaneously, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move away from each other. When the container moves to the third station, the clamping lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamping flipping mechanism 430 to fall, so that the clamping flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, and the pair of container clamps 410 fall synchronously, so that the container is positioned between the pair of container clamps 410. Subsequently, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move closer together to clamp the container. Then, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, the pair of container clamps 410, and the container held by the pair of container clamps 410 all rise synchronously. Next, the clamp flipping mechanism 430 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to flip, thus flipping the container. The flipping angle is 180 degrees, so that the opening of the container changes from facing upwards to facing downwards. Subsequently, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to descend again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, the pair of container clamps 410, and the container held by the pair of container clamps 410 all descend synchronously. When the container is placed back on the tray, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move away from each other, thus releasing the container. Then the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420 and the pair of jar container clamps 410 rise synchronously, thereby facilitating the transfer of the jar containers to the next work station.

[0095] It is understood that in this embodiment, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives a pair of container clamps 410 to move relative to each other, thereby achieving automatic clamping of the container; the clamp flipping mechanism 430 flips the clamping drive mechanism 420, thereby achieving automatic flipping of the container; and the clamp lifting mechanism 440 raises and lowers the clamp flipping mechanism 430, thereby achieving automatic raising and lowering of the container, so as to facilitate the completion of the flipping action, thereby avoiding the problems of low work efficiency and safety hazards when flipping manually.

[0096] More specifically, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 is positioned above the clamp flipping mechanism 430. The flipping device 400 also includes a clamp lifting mechanism 450, which is connected to and positioned below the clamp flipping mechanism 430. The clamp lifting mechanism 450 also drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise and fall.

[0097] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 can lift and lower the clamp tilting mechanism 430 by applying force from top to bottom, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the clamp tilting mechanism 430. It can be positioned above the clamp tilting mechanism 430. Below the clamp tilting mechanism 430, a clamp lifting mechanism 450 can be provided, which can lift the clamp tilting mechanism 430 by applying force from bottom to top. Based on the foregoing, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 and the clamp lifting mechanism 450 can synchronously drive the clamp tilting mechanism 430 to lift and lower. The clamp lifting mechanism 440 can also be an electric cylinder, and its piston end can be connected to the lifting base 432. When the piston end of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 extends or retracts, the lifting base 432 can be lifted and lowered.

[0098] In some embodiments, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 may also be a linear module or the like.

[0099] It is understood that by setting up a clamp lifting mechanism 450 in this embodiment to work in conjunction with the clamp lifting mechanism 440 to drive the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise and fall, the lifting and falling process of the container can be made more stable, and the shaking of the container caused by inertia and other factors can be avoided.

[0100] More specifically, the flipping device 400 also includes a counterweight mechanism 460, which is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430 and balances the weight of the jars when a pair of jar clamps 410 hold the jars.

[0101] like Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment, the flipping device 400 further includes a third frame 470. A clamp lifting mechanism 440 and a clamp supporting mechanism 450 can both be mounted on the third frame 470. The electric cylinder seat of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 can be located at the top of the third frame 470, while the electric cylinder seat of the clamp supporting mechanism 450 can be located at the bottom of the third frame 470. The piston ends of both mechanisms pass through the third frame 470 and connect to the lifting base 432. When a pair of container clamps 410 clamp the container, and the clamp lifting mechanism 440 and clamp supporting mechanism 450 place the container in a suspended position, the container, due to its greater weight, tilts its center towards one side. To improve this phenomenon, a counterweight mechanism 460 is also provided on the third frame 470. The counterweight mechanism 460 is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430. It can be set on the side of the clamp flipping mechanism 430 opposite to the pair of jar container clamps 410, and is used to balance the weight of the jar containers when the pair of jar container clamps 410 clamp the jar containers.

[0102] It is understood that by setting a counterweight mechanism 460, this embodiment can prevent the jar container from shifting its center when it is clamped and suspended in the air, so as to ensure that the pair of jar container clamps 410 can clamp it firmly.

[0103] More specifically, the counterweight mechanism 460 includes a connector 461, a pulley 462, and a counterweight 463. The counterweight 463 is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430 through the connector 461. The connector 461 is wound around the pulley 462. The pulley 462 is used to adjust the extension direction of the connector 461 so that the counterweight 463 and the clamp flipping mechanism 430 move up and down in opposite directions.

[0104] like Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment, the counterweight 463 can be a component such as a weight, and it can be configured as a detachable assembly to facilitate addition or removal as needed. The connector 461 can be a steel cable to ensure sufficient structural strength and load-bearing capacity. One end of the connector 461 is connected to the counterweight 463, and the other end can be connected to the rotating shaft of the flipping base 421. The connector 461 can be reversed by the pulley 462, so that the counterweight 463 and the clamp flipping mechanism 430 move in opposite directions, that is, when the clamp flipping mechanism 430 rises, the counterweight 463 falls; and when the clamp flipping mechanism 430 falls, the counterweight 463 rises. There can be two pulleys 462. One pulley 462 can be positioned directly above the clamp flipping mechanism 430 so that the connecting member 461 extends vertically upward first. The other pulley 462 can be positioned at the same height as the first one so that the connecting member 461 extends horizontally afterwards. The counterweight 463 can be positioned directly below the second pulley 462 so that the connecting member 461 extends vertically downward last.

[0105] Of course, in some embodiments, when the radius of the pulley 462 is large enough, the pulley 462 can be set to only one, and the clamp flipping mechanism 430 and the counterweight 463 are respectively arranged on both sides of the pulley 462 and connected by the connector 461.

[0106] In other embodiments, pulleys 462 may be provided in three, four, or other configurations, and may be added or removed as needed according to actual layout requirements.

[0107] It is understood that in this embodiment, the counterweight is connected to the clamp flipping mechanism 430 by the connector 461, and the extension direction of the connector 461 is adjusted by the pulley 462, so that the counterweight mechanism 460 can balance the weight of the jar container when the jar container is clamped by a pair of jar container clamps 410.

[0108] Specifically, the flipping device 400 also includes a second guide mechanism 480, which guides the clamp flipping mechanism 430 when the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise and fall.

[0109] like Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment, the second guide mechanism 480 can be connected to both the lifting base 432 and the transition frame 433. When the piston end of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 extends or retracts, it can drive the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 to rise or fall. At this time, the second guide mechanism 480 can guide both the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432, so that the movement of the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 is more stable, thereby achieving guidance for the clamp flipping mechanism 430.

[0110] It is understood that by setting the second guide mechanism 480 in this embodiment, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 can drive the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to move smoothly when it is raised or lowered; when a pair of jar container clamps 410 clamp the jar container, it can make the movement of the jar container more stable and less prone to shaking.

[0111] More specifically, the second guide mechanism 480 includes a second guide bar 481 and a second guide slider 482. The second guide bar 481 is vertically arranged, and the clamp flipping mechanism 430 is slidably connected to the second guide bar 481 through the second guide slider 482.

[0112] like Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the second guide mechanism 480 can also be provided in two sets. The two sets of second guide mechanisms 480 can be connected to the left and right sides of the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 respectively, that is, the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 are straddling the two sets of second guide mechanisms 480. The second guide bar 481 can be vertically arranged and connected to the third frame 470; while the second guide slider 482 can be slidably connected to the second guide bar 481. In the same set of second guide mechanisms 480, there can be a plurality of second guide sliders 482, for example, two. The transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 can each be connected to at least one second guide slider 482. When the piston end of the clamp lifting mechanism 440 extends and retracts, and drives the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 to rise and fall, the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432 can drive the second guide slider 482 to slide on the second guide bar 481. The second guide slider 482 cooperates with the second guide bar 481 to guide the rise and fall of the transition frame 433 and the lifting base 432.

[0113] It is understood that in this embodiment, by setting the second guide mechanism 480 as the second guide bar 481 and the second guide slider 482, it is convenient to realize the guidance of the second guide mechanism 480 on the clamp flipping mechanism 430.

[0114] Specifically, the second cleaning device 500 includes a second brush assembly 510 and a second brush rotation mechanism 520. The second brush rotation mechanism 520 drives the second brush assembly 510 to rotate so that the second brush assembly 510 brushes the outer wall of the container.

[0115] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment, the second brush assembly 510 may include a second support 511 and brush bristles fixed on the second support 511. The shape formed by the bristles can be adapted to the contour of the outer wall of the container. The second brush assembly 510 is used to brush the outer wall of the container to clean it. Since the outer wall at the mouth of the container has already been brushed by the auxiliary brush assembly 370 at the second station, it does not need to be cleaned again at the fourth station. At this time, the mouth of the container can be used to contact the limiting mechanism on the tray to ensure the stability of the container on the tray. Furthermore, since the second wetting nozzle 220 has pre-wetted the outer wall of the container, even if there are stubborn stains on the outer wall of the container, the second brush assembly 510 can clean them off. The second brush assembly 510 can be configured in a gantry-like shape, allowing the container to move directly into and pass smoothly through the second brush assembly 510 when it reaches the fourth station. Therefore, the second brush assembly 510 cannot be raised or lowered, but only rotated. The second brush assembly 510 rotates via a second brush rotation mechanism 520 to brush the outer wall of the container.

[0116] like Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, the second cleaning device 500 may further include a fourth frame 530, and a second brush rotation mechanism 520 may be mounted on the fourth frame 530. The second brush rotation mechanism 520 may include a second rotating motor 521 and a second reducer 522. The second brush assembly 510 may have a rotating shaft arranged around its rotation axis. The second rotating motor 521 can be driven by the rotating shaft of the second brush assembly 510 through the second reducer 522. When the second rotating motor 521 is working, it can drive the second brush assembly 510 to rotate through the reduction transmission of the second reducer 522.

[0117] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second brush assembly 510 is driven to rotate by the second brush rotation mechanism 520 so that the second brush assembly 510 can brush the outer wall of the container, thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the second cleaning device 500 on the outer wall of the container.

[0118] More specifically, the second cleaning device 500 also includes a first rinsing nozzle 540 and a second rinsing nozzle 550, the first rinsing nozzle 540 being directed toward the outer wall of the container to rinse the outer wall of the container, and the second rinsing nozzle 550 being directed toward the inner wall of the container to rinse the inner wall of the container.

[0119] like Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment, it is exemplarily illustrated that after the first brush assembly 310 and the second brush assembly 510 have brushed the inner and outer walls of the container, contaminants such as sewage and stains may still remain on the inner and outer walls of the container due to adsorption. In this case, the outer and inner walls of the container can be rinsed by the first rinsing nozzle 540 and the second rinsing nozzle 550, respectively. The first rinsing nozzle 540 and the second rinsing nozzle 550 are also connected to a water source, and the water sprayed by the first rinsing nozzle 540 and the second rinsing nozzle 550 is preferably a diffused water flow to provide sufficient impact force to wash away the remaining contaminants.

[0120] It is understood that by providing the first rinsing nozzle 540 and the second rinsing nozzle 550, this embodiment facilitates the rinsing off of contaminants remaining on the outer and inner walls of the container, thereby further improving the all-round cleaning effect of the container.

[0121] Specifically, a plurality of first flushing nozzles 540 are provided, and the second cleaning device 500 also includes a flushing ring 560, with a plurality of first flushing nozzles 540 arranged circumferentially on the flushing ring 560.

[0122] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the first rinsing nozzle 540 can also be configured as a plurality of nozzles, which are equally spaced circumferentially and connected by a rinsing ring 560, which can be fixed on the fourth frame 530. When the container moves to the fourth station, the plurality of first rinsing nozzles 540 can all be tilted downward toward the axis of the container to rinse the outer wall of the container. The second rinsing nozzle 550 can be configured as a single nozzle, which sprays water from bottom to top. When the container moves to the fourth station, the second rinsing nozzle 550 can be directed toward the inside of the container to rinse the inside of the container.

[0123] It is understood that in this embodiment, a plurality of first rinsing nozzles 540 are provided, and the plurality of first rinsing nozzles 540 are connected by rinsing rings 560, so as to ensure the rinsing effect of the second cleaning device 500 on the outer wall of the container.

[0124] Specifically, the container transfer device 100 includes a rotary table 110, which is rotatably arranged, and the first station, the second station, the third station and the fourth station are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotary table 110.

[0125] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, exemplarily, the containers can flow on a rotary production line, which can be a platform mainly constructed from a rotary table 110. The rotary table 110 is rotatably configured, and a tray can be arranged on the outer edge of the rotary table 110. The first, second, third, and fourth workstations can correspond to different points around the circumference of the rotary table 110. When the rotary table 110 rotates, it can drive the tray and the containers on the tray to flow sequentially to the first, second, third, and fourth workstations. Viewed from above, the rotary table 110 can rotate counterclockwise or clockwise, and the direction of rotation of the rotary table 110 is the flow direction of the containers.

[0126] In some embodiments, the container transfer device 100 may also include two linear production lines, one of which is used to arrange various devices for cleaning the containers, with the first, second, third, and fourth stations sequentially arranged along the linear line; while the other production line is used to transfer trays. The two ends of the two production lines can be connected by a tray reversing device, which can transfer the tray from one production line to the other to complete the cycle.

[0127] It is understood that by setting the container transfer device 100 in this embodiment as a circular rotary line mainly composed of a rotary table 110, the floor space of the automatic jar washing system can be reduced and the space utilization rate of the automatic jar washing system can be improved.

[0128] More specifically, the container transfer device 100 also includes a supporting circular guide rail 120, a supporting roller assembly 130, and a rotation center support 140. The turntable 110 is rotatably mounted on the rotation center support 140, and the turntable 110 is slidably connected to the supporting circular guide rail 120 through the supporting roller assembly 130.

[0129] like Figure 11As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the rotation center support 140 can be disposed at the center of the turntable 110, the turntable 110 is rotatably disposed on the rotation center support 140, and the rotation center support 140 can support the center of the turntable 110. The support ring guide rail 120 can be disposed on the outer edge of the turntable 110, and the support ring guide rail 120 can be disposed below the turntable 110. The turntable 110 can be arranged on the support ring guide rail 120 by a support roller assembly 130, and the support ring guide rail 120 can support the outer edge of the turntable 110. The support roller assembly 130 is slidably connected to the support ring guide rail 120; when the turntable 110 rotates, it drives the support roller assembly 130 to move on the support ring guide rail 120, and the support roller assembly 130 can reduce the frictional resistance encountered by the turntable 110 when rotating.

[0130] It is understood that by setting the supporting circular guide rail 120 and the supporting roller assembly 130, the outer edge of the turntable 110 can be supported while ensuring the smooth rotation of the turntable 110; and by setting the rotation center support 140, the center of the turntable 110 can be supported, thereby ensuring the stability of the container when it flows on the turntable 110, so as to further facilitate the cleaning of the container.

[0131] More specifically, the slewing center support 140 includes an inner rod 141 and a sleeve 142, the sleeve 142 being rotatably fitted over the inner rod 141, and the turntable 110 being connected to the sleeve 142.

[0132] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in this embodiment, the inner rod 141 can be fixed to a ground foundation, for example, by anchor bolts, chemical bolts, or other means within a reinforced concrete structure to ensure its stability. The sleeve 142 can be fitted over the inner rod 141, and both ends of the sleeve 142 can be connected to the inner rod 141 via bearings. The rotary table 110 can be connected to the sleeve 142 via flanges or other components, and a bracing rod can be installed between the top of the rotary table 110 and the top of the sleeve 142 to increase the connection strength. When the rotary table 110 rotates, it can drive the sleeve 142 to rotate on the inner rod 141, and the bearings ensure smooth rotation of the sleeve 142 on the inner rod 141.

[0133] It is understood that this embodiment, by reasonably setting the structure of the rotation center support 140, facilitates the rotation disk 110 to be rotatably mounted on the rotation center support 140.

[0134] Specifically, the container transfer device 100 also includes a rotary drive mechanism 150, which drives the rotary disk 110 to rotate.

[0135] like Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the rotary drive mechanism 150 can also be set on the ground foundation, and the fixing method can refer to the fixing method of the rotary center support 140. The rotary drive mechanism 150 is driven by the rotary disk 110, and the rotary disk 110 can rotate under the drive of the rotary drive mechanism 150. The rotary drive mechanism 150 may specifically include a rotary motor 151 and a rotary reducer 152. The rotary motor 151 and the rotary reducer 152 can be arranged on the rotary support. The rotary motor 151 can be driven by the rotary reducer 152, and the rotary reducer 152 can be driven by the rotary disk 110 through the cooperation of components such as gear 153 and sprocket 154. At this time, the sprocket 154 is set on the outer edge of the rotary disk 110, and the gear 153 is set on the output end of the rotary reducer 152. When the rotary motor 151 is working, it drives the rotary table 110 to rotate sequentially through the rotary reducer 152, gear 153, and sprocket 154, so that the containers can move between various workstations. When the rotary motor 151 stops working, the rotary table 110 stops rotating, so that the containers can complete the corresponding cleaning process at a certain workstation.

[0136] It is understood that this embodiment uses a rotary drive mechanism 150 to facilitate the automatic rotation of the turntable 110, thereby further enabling the automatic circulation of the containers.

[0137] Specifically, the container transfer device 100 also has an upper container station and a lower container station. Along the transfer direction of the containers, the upper container station is located upstream of the first station, and the lower container station is located downstream of the fourth station.

[0138] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, by way of example, the rotary table 110 can also be provided with an upper jar station and a lower jar station in its circumferential direction. Along the rotation direction of the rotary table 110, the upper jar station and the lower jar station are respectively located on both sides of the first station and the fourth station. Jars can be placed onto a pallet from the upper jar station and simultaneously removed from the pallet from the lower jar station. The process of placing and removing jars can be completed manually, by specialized clamping equipment such as jar clamps, or by conventional equipment such as forklifts.

[0139] It is understood that by setting up upper and lower jar stations in this embodiment, it is convenient to arrange the jars and containers on the jar and container transfer device 100 for transfer, and at the same time, it is convenient to remove the cleaned jars and containers from the jar and container transfer device 100.

[0140] The implementation principle of the automatic jar washing system provided in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0141] When cleaning the jars and containers, the containers are first placed on a tray from the upper jar station. Then, the rotary drive mechanism 150 drives the turntable 110 to rotate, so as to circulate the containers. When the containers circulate to the first station, the turntable 110 stops, and the first wetting nozzle 210 and the second wetting nozzle 220 spray water onto the inner and outer walls of the containers, respectively, to wet the inner and outer walls of the containers.

[0142] The rotary table 110 then continues to rotate, causing the jar container to move to the second station. Before the jar container moves to the second station, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise, allowing it to make way for the jar container. When the jar container moves to the second station, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to descend, allowing it to extend into the interior of the jar container. Simultaneously, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to descend, bringing it into contact with the jar container's opening. When the first brush assembly 310 is fully inserted into the jar container and the auxiliary brush assembly 370 is in contact with the jar container's opening, the first brush rotating mechanism 330 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rotate, causing the bristles of the first brush assembly 310 to rub against the inner wall of the jar container, thereby scrubbing the inner wall of the jar container. Simultaneously, the first brush rotating mechanism 330 also drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rotate, so that the auxiliary brush assembly 370 brushes the outer wall of the jar mouth. Then, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the first brush assembly 310 to rise, so that the first brush assembly 310 extends out of the jar mouth. At the same time, the brush lifting mechanism 320 drives the auxiliary brush assembly 370 to rise, so that the auxiliary brush assembly 370 moves away from the jar mouth.

[0143] Then, the rotary table 110 rotates further to move the container to the third station. Before the container moves to the third station, the clamping lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamping tilting mechanism 430 to rise, so that the clamping tilting mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, and the pair of container clamps 410 rise synchronously, thus making way for the container to enter the third station. At the same time, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move away from each other. When the container moves to the third station, the clamping lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamping tilting mechanism 430 to fall, so that the clamping tilting mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, and the pair of container clamps 410 fall synchronously, so that the container is positioned between the pair of container clamps 410. Subsequently, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move closer together to clamp the container. Then, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, the pair of container clamps 410, and the container held by the pair of container clamps 410 all rise synchronously. Next, the clamp flipping mechanism 430 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to flip, thus flipping the container. Subsequently, the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to fall again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420, the pair of container clamps 410, and the container held by the pair of container clamps 410 all fall synchronously. When the container is placed back on the tray, the clamping drive mechanism 420 drives the pair of container clamps 410 to move away from each other, thus releasing the container. Then the clamp lifting mechanism 440 drives the clamp flipping mechanism 430 to rise again, so that the clamp flipping mechanism 430, the clamping drive mechanism 420 and the pair of jar container clamps 410 rise synchronously, thereby facilitating the further circulation of the jar containers.

[0144] As the rotary table 110 continues to rotate, the jar container moves to the fourth station. The second brush rotation mechanism 520 drives the second brush assembly 510 to rotate, so that the second brush assembly 510 brushes the outer wall of the jar container. At the same time, the first rinsing nozzle 540 and the second rinsing nozzle 550 respectively rinse the outer wall and the interior of the jar container.

[0145] Next, the rotary table 110 continues to rotate to transfer the jars to the next jar station. When the jars reach the next jar station, the cleaning effect can be checked. If the jars are clean, they are removed from the tray. If the jars are not clean, they are transferred back to the next jar station for a second cleaning.

[0146] This application achieves comprehensive cleaning of the container by using the first cleaning device 300 to clean at least the inner wall of the container and the second cleaning device 500 to clean at least the outer wall of the container, thus avoiding any blind spots. By using the flipping device 400 to flip the container, the cleaning wastewater inside the container can be poured out after cleaning the inner wall, making it less likely for wastewater to remain. Before cleaning, the immersion device 200 immerses the inner and outer walls of the container, ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning device on the inner and outer walls of the container. Even if there are stubborn stains on the container, the cleaning device can successfully remove them, reducing the probability of secondary cleaning of the container.

[0147] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0148] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the 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 application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
