[0026] Reference Figure 1 According to a first aspect of the present invention, an aluminum can washing device includes a frame 100, a washing zone 200, and a washing track 300. The washing track 300 is installed on the frame 100 and includes four track rods 310. The four track rods 310 enclose a washing channel 300a. The washing channel 300a is inclined. The upper end of the washing channel 300a is a feed end for inputting aluminum cans 400, and the lower end of the washing channel 300a is a discharge end for outputting aluminum cans 400. The washing channel 300a is used to drive the aluminum cans 400 to be conveyed along the washing channel 300a from the feed end to the discharge end. The washing channel 300a passes inclinedly through the washing zone 200, and the washing channel 300a is twisted in the washing zone 200 so that the aluminum cans 400 flip when passing through the washing zone 200.

[0027] In practice, the cleaning zone 200 is generally equipped with a shower head, a cleaning gun, or other cleaning device that can spray cleaning fluid to clean the aluminum can 400 that has passed through the cleaning zone 200.

[0028] The aluminum can washing equipment provided by this utility model has a washing channel 300a of the washing track 300 passing through the washing zone 200. By tilting the washing channel 300a of the washing track 300, the aluminum can 400 can be automatically transported from the feed end to the discharge end along the washing channel 300a under the action of gravity. Since the washing channel 300a is twisted in the washing zone 200, the aluminum can 400 can be automatically flipped when it is being washed in the washing zone 200. With the above settings, the aluminum can washing equipment provided by this utility model does not require sprockets, chains and clamping components on the chain to form a conveying device to transport the aluminum can 400 and flip the aluminum can 400, which can meet the needs of aluminum can 400 washing. At the same time, the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0029] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the cleaning track 300 further includes multiple rectangular support frames 320, each rectangular support frame 320 housing four track rods 310. All rectangular support frames 320 are arranged at intervals along the track rods 310, wherein the four track rods 310 are fixedly connected to the middle of the four sides of the rectangular support frame 320 one-to-one. Thus, the position of the four track rods 310 can be fixed by the rectangular support frames 320, maintaining the size of the cleaning channel 300a. The four track rods 310 can correspondingly restrict the opposite sides of the aluminum can 400 in the axial direction and the opposite sides in the radial direction, effectively preventing the aluminum can 400 from falling out of the cleaning channel 300a, and guiding the aluminum can 400 to rotate with the torsion of the cleaning channel 300a.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the four sides of the rectangular support frame 320 are welded to the four track rods 310 in a one-to-one correspondence. With the above arrangement, the production of the cleaning track 300 is simple and convenient.

[0031] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the frame 100 includes a support frame 110 and a mounting shell 120. The mounting shell 120 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 110, the cleaning area 200 is located on the horizontal side of the mounting shell 120, and the upper end of the cleaning track 300 is inserted into the mounting shell 120. In specific implementation, the mounting shell 120 has insertion holes so that the cleaning track 300 can be inserted into the insertion holes. The cleaning track 300 can be welded to the side wall of the insertion hole, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the cleaning track 300.

[0032] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the cleaning track 300 is welded and fixed to the mounting shell 120 via a corresponding rectangular support frame 320. Therefore, the installation and fixing of the cleaning track 300 is more convenient and does not affect the shape of the cleaning channel 300a of the cleaning track 300.

[0033] According to some embodiments of this utility model, two or more cleaning tracks 300 are provided, and all cleaning tracks 300 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction. This effectively improves cleaning efficiency.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting shell 120 is installed obliquely on the support frame 110. An adjustment device is provided between the support frame 110 and the mounting shell 120. The adjustment device is used to adjust the inclination of the cleaning track 300 on the mounting shell 120. By adjusting the inclination of the cleaning track 300, the frictional resistance of the cleaning track 300 to the aluminum can 400 can be changed, thereby adjusting the conveying speed of the aluminum can 400 within the cleaning track 300 and changing the time it takes for the aluminum can 400 to pass through the cleaning zone 200. In specific implementation, if it is found that the inclination of the cleaning track 300 is too small, making it difficult for the aluminum can 400 to move within the cleaning track 300, the inclination of the cleaning track 300 can be increased by adjusting the device.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper end of the cleaning track 300 is located to the left of the lower end of the cleaning track 300. The support frame 110 includes four vertical support rods 111, two of which are located on the front side of the mounting shell 120 and the other two are located on the rear side of the mounting shell 120. The upper end of the vertical support rod 111 is vertically provided with a first strip hole 1111. The adjustment device includes a locking member 140 and a telescopic component 130 installed in the first strip hole 1111. The locking member 140 is used to lock the upper end of the corresponding vertical support rod 111 to the mounting shell 120. The telescopic component 130 is disposed between the four vertical support rods 111. The telescopic component 130 can adjust the distance between two adjacent vertical support rods 111. Therefore, by adjusting the distance between two adjacent vertical support rods 111, the installation height of the left and right ends of the mounting shell 120 can be adjusted, thereby changing the inclination of the mounting shell 120. The inclination direction of the cleaning track 300 is consistent with the inclination direction of the mounting shell 120, thus realizing the inclination adjustment of the cleaning track 300.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking member 140 includes a connecting post 141 and a locking nut 142. One end of the connecting post 141 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 120, and the other end passes through the corresponding first strip hole 1111 and is screwed to the locking nut 142. The locking nut 142 is located on the side of the corresponding vertical support rod 111 away from the mounting shell 120. With the above configuration, the operation of the locking member 140 is simple and convenient.

[0037] To ensure a more secure installation of the mounting housing 120, a locking groove 1112 is provided at the upper end of the vertical support rod 111. The locking groove 1112 is composed of multiple vertically arranged and sequentially linked circular holes. The center distance of these circular holes is smaller than the diameter of the circular holes. Each circular hole constitutes a locking position. The aforementioned locking bolt 133 can be locked in any of the circular holes. Thus, the side wall of the circular hole can support the locking bolt 133, preventing the locking bolt 133 and the connecting column 141 from being pushed down by the pressure of the mounting housing 120.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the telescopic assembly 130 includes an inner rod 131 and an outer rod 132. The inner rod 131 is slidably inserted into the outer rod 132. One of the inner rod 131 and the outer rod 132 is fixedly connected to two vertical support rods 111 located on the left side, and the other is fixedly connected to two vertical support rods 111 located on the right side. With the above arrangement, the spacing between two adjacent vertical support rods 111 can be adjusted while ensuring the stable installation of the four vertical support rods 111. In specific implementation, the inner rod 131 and the outer rod 132 can be locked and limited by a locking bolt 133. The outer rod 132 has a second slotted hole 1321, and the locking bolt 133 passes through the second slotted hole 1321 and is screwed to the inner rod 131.

[0039] Of course, the telescopic component 130 described above can also be configured in other ways. For example, the telescopic component 130 includes two rotating connecting rods, the middle of the two rotating connecting rods are hinged together, and the two opposite ends of the rotating connecting rods are rotatably connected to two adjacent vertical support rods 111 on the left and right.

[0040] It should be noted that the above-mentioned adjustment device can also be configured in other ways. For example, the mounting shell 120 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 110. In this case, the adjustment device may include a locking member 140, which is screwed to the support frame 110 and abuts against the mounting shell 120. Thus, the tilt of the mounting shell 120 can also be adjusted.

[0041] 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.

[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
