Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle and jar cleaning technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning bottles and jars. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is a crucial step in ensuring the quality and safety of bottles and jars during their production and subsequent use. In industries such as cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals, foreign matter remaining inside bottles and jars can negatively impact product quality; therefore, bottle and jar cleaning is of paramount importance.

[0003] Traditional bottle and can cleaning typically involves cleaning machines. In practice, a robotic arm grabs the bottle or can and rotates it 180 degrees before cleaning it by vacuuming or blowing compressed air. However, these cleaning devices are complex in structure, involving numerous mechanical transmission components and control systems, which can result in higher costs. Furthermore, these devices can generally only clean one bottle or can at a time, so their cleaning efficiency may need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide a device for cleaning bottles and jars.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a vacuum pump, the drive end of which is connected to the suction pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, a vacuum valve is installed on the extraction pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, both the blowing tube and the suction tube are flexible hoses.

[0017] Preferably, the driving unit is a cylinder, and a driving rod is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving unit, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the driving rod.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a device for cleaning bottles and jars, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model uses a cleaning method that combines compressed air and vacuum to reach deep into every corner of the bottle or jar, effectively removing all kinds of foreign objects, including impurities attached to the bottle wall, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the bottle or jar. At the same time, this application uses sensors, conveyor belts and drive units in combination to quickly locate and clean during the cleaning process, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a device for cleaning bottles and jars according to the present invention.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a device for cleaning bottles and jars according to the present invention.

[0022] In the diagram: 1. Support; 101. Conveyor belt; 2. Vacuum pump; 201. Evacuation pipe; 2011. Vacuum valve; 3. Mounting plate; 301. Sensor; 4. Bottle / can section; 5. Connecting plate; 6. Drive section; 601. Drive rod; 7. Air blowing pipe. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Reference Figures 1-2 A device for cleaning bottles and jars, comprising:

[0026] Mounting plate 3 and conveyor belt 101 connected to bracket 1;

[0027] Bottle and can section 4 is placed on conveyor belt 101;

[0028] The drive unit 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 3;

[0029] The connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive unit 6;

[0030] The air blowing pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5;

[0031] The exhaust pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5;

[0032] The blowing pipe 7 and the suction pipe 201 are located directly above the bottle / can section 4.

[0033] Sensor 301 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, and sensor 301 faces the bottle / can part 4.

[0034] It should be noted that when the connecting plate 5 moves down a certain distance, the bottom of the connecting plate 5 is in close contact with the top of the horizontally placed bottle / can part 4.

[0035] It should also be noted that sensor 301 is a commercially available fiber optic sensor, and sensor 301 is connected to the drive source of conveyor belt 101 through a controller.

[0036] It should be further explained that bottle / jar section 4 refers to storage bottles and jars with open tops that are available on the market.

[0037] It also includes a vacuum pump 2, the drive end of which is connected to the suction pipe 201.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 In practice, when sensor 301 senses the arrival of bottle section 4, the conveyor belt 101 stops and the drive unit 6 drives the drive rod 601 to move down synchronously. This process takes 0.5 seconds.

[0039] A vacuum valve 2011 is installed on the extraction pipe 201.

[0040] Both the blowing pipe 7 and the suction pipe 201 are flexible hoses.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 By setting the air blowing pipe 7 and the air extraction pipe 201 as flexible hoses, when the connecting plate 5 moves down, it can effectively prevent the air blowing pipe 7 and the air extraction pipe 201 from being damaged by being pulled synchronously.

[0042] It should be noted that the blowing pipe 7 is connected to an external compressed gas storage tank and is used to input gas into the bottle / canister section 4.

[0043] In practice, the blowing pipe 7 blows air and the suction pipe 201 draws air under negative pressure. This process takes 1 second. After cleaning is completed, the drive unit 6 drives the drive rod 601 to move upward synchronously. This process takes 0.3 seconds. Therefore, the entire cleaning process is completed within 2 seconds, and the efficiency is significantly improved.

[0044] The drive unit 6 is a cylinder, and a drive rod 601 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive unit 6. The connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 601.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2When the bottle section 4 needs to be processed, the conveyor belt 101 drives the bottle section 4 to move. After the bottle section 4 has moved a certain distance, the sensor 301 at the bottom of the mounting plate 3 senses the bottle section 4. At this time, the sensor 301 transmits the signal to the controller instantly, and the controller stops the movement of the conveyor belt 101. At this time, the bottle section 4 is located directly below the connecting plate 5.

[0046] Reference Figures 1-2 During the cleaning process, the drive rod 601 on the drive unit 6 extends and drives the connecting plate 5 to move down. After the connecting plate 5 moves down a certain distance, the bottom of the connecting plate 5 will abut against the top of the bottle 4. At this time, the connecting plate 5 presses against the bottle mouth of the bottle 4, and the air blowing pipe 7 and the air extraction pipe 201 are placed inside the bottle mouth. At this time, compressed air is input into the bottle 4 through the air blowing pipe 7. At this time, foreign objects in the bottle 4 are blown up by the high-speed compressed air. Then the operator opens the vacuum valve 2011. At this time, the vacuum pump 2 will evacuate the bottle 4 through the air extraction pipe 201, thereby instantly completing the cleaning process of the bottle 4.

[0047] This application utilizes a cleaning method that combines compressed air and vacuum to reach deep into every corner of the bottle or jar, effectively removing various foreign objects, including impurities adhering to the bottle wall, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the bottle or jar. At the same time, this application uses a sensor 301, a conveyor belt 101, and a drive unit 6 in conjunction to quickly locate and clean during the cleaning process, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
