Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beverage production, and in particular to a beverage bottle drying device for beverage production. Background Technology
[0002] During the production process, beverage bottles may accumulate dust, oil, or other impurities on their surface or inside. If these contaminants are not removed, they may affect the quality and safety of the beverage. Therefore, beverage bottles usually need to be cleaned after production, which is one of the key steps to ensure product quality and safety.
[0003] However, after cleaning beverage bottles, they need to be air-dried. Currently, the traditional air-drying method is to blow hot or cold air into the beverage bottle to increase the drying speed. However, because the bottle opening is small and one end is sealed, the amount of air intake is limited when blowing air into the beverage bottle, which makes the drying speed of the beverage bottle slow. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a beverage bottle drying device for beverage production, which draws air from the beverage bottle through a blower to promote air flow inside the bottle, thereby not only improving air flow but also significantly accelerating the drying speed and quality of the beverage bottle.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a beverage bottle drying device for beverage production, comprising a workbench, a conveyor belt, and a drying assembly. The conveyor belt is mounted on the workbench. The drying assembly includes two support plates, a rotating cylinder, a first motor, multiple exhaust pipes, multiple air inlet slots, an exhaust pipe, an exhaust fan, an air-sealing mechanism, a discharge plate, and multiple discharge holes. The two support plates are mounted on the workbench. The rotating cylinder is rotatably disposed between the two support plates, and both ends of the rotating cylinder are connected to the two support plates. The first motor is mounted on the support plate... The first motor's output end is connected to one end of the rotating cylinder; multiple exhaust ducts are mounted on the rotating cylinder and are connected to it; multiple air inlet slots are arranged in a circular array on the corresponding exhaust ducts; an exhaust pipe is disposed on the rotating cylinder; an exhaust fan is mounted on the corresponding support plate and its exhaust end is connected to the exhaust pipe; an air-sealing mechanism is disposed on the exhaust pipe; both ends of the feeding plate are connected to the corresponding support plates, and the feeding plate is located on one side of the rotating cylinder.
[0007] In addition, the beverage bottle drying device for beverage production proposed in the above application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a beverage bottle drying device for beverage production according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the beverage bottle drying device for beverage production according to this utility model embodiment includes a workbench 1, a conveyor belt 2 and a drying assembly 3, wherein the conveyor belt 2 is disposed on the workbench 1.
[0022] It should be noted that conveyor belt 2 uses existing technology to transport beverage bottles.
[0023] The drying assembly 3 includes two support plates 31, a rotating cylinder 32, a first motor 33, multiple exhaust pipes 34, multiple air inlet slots 35, an exhaust pipe 36, an exhaust fan 37, an air-sealing mechanism 38, a discharge plate 39, and multiple discharge holes 310, wherein the two support plates 31 are mounted on the workbench 1.
[0024] It should be noted that the rotation speed of the first motor 33 needs to be controlled so that the rotation speed of the first motor 33 is relatively slow. The slower rotation speed makes it easier for workers to put the beverage bottles on the exhaust duct 34. On the other hand, it can increase the hanging time of the beverage bottles on the exhaust duct 34, thereby increasing the drying time of the beverage bottles and improving the drying quality of the beverage bottles. At the same time, the rotation speed of the first motor 33 can be controlled as needed.
[0025] A rotating cylinder 32 is rotatably mounted between two support plates 31, with both ends of the rotating cylinder 32 connected to the two support plates 31. A first motor 33 is mounted on the support plate 31, and the output end of the first motor 33 is connected to one end of the rotating cylinder 32. Multiple exhaust ducts 34 are mounted on the rotating cylinder 32 and are connected to the rotating cylinder 32. Multiple air inlet slots 35 are respectively arranged in a circular array on the corresponding exhaust ducts 34.
[0026] It should be noted that multiple air inlets 35 can prevent one end of the exhaust fan 34 from coming into close contact with the beverage bottle, which would limit the space for air circulation or prevent airflow, thus affecting the drying effect on the beverage bottle.
[0027] The exhaust pipe 36 is installed on the rotating cylinder 32, and the exhaust fan 37 is installed on the corresponding support plate 31, with the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 37 connected to the exhaust pipe 36.
[0028] It should be noted that when the exhaust fan 34 extracts air from the beverage bottle, the negative pressure inside the beverage bottle will also make the beverage bottle relatively stably mounted on the exhaust fan 34.
[0029] The air-sealing mechanism 38 is installed on the air extraction pipe 36. The two ends of the feeding plate 39 are respectively connected to the corresponding support plate 31, and the feeding plate 39 is located on one side of the rotating cylinder 32.
[0030] Specifically, in actual use, relevant personnel need to dry the beverage bottles to ensure the quality of the beverages.
[0031] When the beverage needs to be dried, the first motor 33 and the exhaust fan 37 are first controlled to run. When the first motor 33 runs, its output end drives the rotating cylinder 32 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 32 drives the exhaust fan 34 to rotate. When the exhaust fan 37 runs, it draws air from the rotating cylinder 32 through the exhaust pipe 36. Finally, the exhaust fan 34 draws in outside air. While the exhaust fan 34 is rotating, the beverage bottle to be dried is placed on the surface of the exhaust fan 34. This allows the exhaust fan 34 to draw air from the beverage bottle and then allow outside air to enter the beverage bottle, thereby increasing the airflow inside the beverage bottle. At the same time, the exhaust fan 34 drives the beverage bottle to rotate. When the beverage bottle rotates to one side of the feeding plate 39, the feeding plate 39 squeezes the beverage bottle, causing it to fall onto the conveyor belt 2. Then, the conveyor belt 2 can be used to transport the dried beverage bottle.
[0032] The exhaust fan 34 draws air out of the beverage bottle, promoting airflow and improving air circulation. This not only increases airflow but also significantly speeds up the drying process and improves the quality of the beverage bottle. In addition, the bottle's flipping function allows residual water droplets to be poured out during the drying process, further enhancing the drying effect and efficiency.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust duct 34 is retractable.
[0034] It should be noted that the length of the exhaust fan 34 can be adjusted to accommodate the length of the beverage bottle. When the beverage bottle is fitted onto the exhaust fan 34, the bottom of the beverage bottle needs to contact one end of the exhaust fan 34, so that the airflow can be directed from the bottle opening to the bottom, thus achieving thorough drying of the beverage bottle.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the air-tight mechanism 38 includes a sealing plate 381, a fixing rod 382, and a sealing strip 383. The sealing plate 381 is disposed inside the rotating cylinder 32 and is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 32.
[0036] It should be noted that the sealing strip 383 is used to improve the sealing effect between the sealing plate 381 and the rotating cylinder 32, so that the negative pressure generated by extraction no longer enters or only enters the corresponding exhaust duct 34.
[0037] One end of the fixing rod 382 is connected to the sealing plate 381, and the other end of the fixing rod 382 is connected to the air extraction pipe 36. The sealing strip 383 is installed on the sealing plate 381.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust duct 34 is fixed on the corresponding support plate 31, and the exhaust duct 34 is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 32.
[0039] Specifically, in actual operation, when the exhaust duct 34 rotates the dried beverage bottle to one side of the feeding plate 39, the sealing plate 381 and the sealing strip 383 seal one end of the exhaust duct 34 above the feeding plate 39. At this time, the corresponding exhaust duct 34 loses the negative pressure adsorption, and the beverage bottle will fall off the corresponding exhaust duct 34 due to the weight of the beverage bottle and the squeezing of the feeding plate 39.
[0040] In summary, the beverage bottle drying device for beverage production according to this utility model extracts air from the beverage bottle through the exhaust duct 34, promoting air flow inside the bottle. This not only improves air mobility but also significantly accelerates the drying speed and quality of the beverage bottle. Furthermore, combined with the beverage bottle's flipping function, residual water droplets can be poured out during the drying process, further enhancing the drying effect and efficiency.
