Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of empty basket cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic empty basket cleaning and drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] The empty basket automatic washing and drying machine is a high-efficiency, automated cleaning equipment widely used in food processing, logistics distribution, supermarkets and catering services, etc., for cleaning and drying various empty baskets, turnover boxes and pallets.
[0003] Traditional drying areas typically use a fixed drying method, which results in some areas of the turnover box not being dried thoroughly. Furthermore, fixed drying can lead to uneven heat distribution inside the frame, causing some areas to overheat and deform, while other areas remain too cool to be effectively dried, thus presenting limitations.
[0004] The problem arises from the fixed drying system, resulting in inconsistent drying effects across different areas of the crates. Some areas, due to their fixed location or difficulty in heat access, experience particularly incomplete drying, impacting both drying efficiency and the overall drying of the crates themselves. Because the location and power settings of the drying equipment are relatively fixed, heat transfer within the crates is limited. Areas near the drying equipment experience excessively high temperatures; prolonged exposure to such high temperatures can deform the crate material, potentially affecting its lifespan and safety. Conversely, areas further away from the drying equipment remain relatively cool, preventing effective heat transfer and thus hindering the drying of these parts of the crates. This uneven heat distribution not only limits drying effectiveness but also increases energy consumption and production costs. Therefore, we propose an automatic empty crate cleaning and drying machine to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0030] Example 1

[0033] The uniform drying unit 2 includes a drying box 121 and a drying chamber 121; the drying box 121 is set on the outer surface of the turntable 21, and the motor 224 is fixedly assembled with the drying box 121; the drying box 121 is set at the bottom of the drying box 121, the inner wall of the drying box 121 is provided with an air duct 25, the hot air blower 23 is connected to the air duct 25, the interior of the drying box 121 is provided with an air outlet 26, and the side of the drying box 121 is provided with a discharge port 27.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the device is in use, the empty frame is conveyed by the conveyor belt 13 and enters the interior of the spraying component 11. The spraying component 11 is equipped with multiple nozzles. As the empty frame enters the spraying component 11, cleaning water is sprayed along the nozzles onto the interior and outer surfaces of the empty frame to clean it. Since the conveyor belt 13 itself has gaps, the cleaning water will flow into the collection box 122 below the spraying component 11 along the gaps. After cleaning, the empty frame is conveyed by the conveyor belt 13 to the interior of the drying component 12. After drying, it is discharged through the discharge port 27, completing the cleaning and drying of the empty frame.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] This utility model discloses an automatic empty basket washing and drying machine. More specifically, based on Embodiment 1, it is provided according to the appendix... Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the machine includes a body 1, which includes a spraying component 11. A drying component 12 is provided on one side of the spraying component 11. A conveyor belt 13 is provided inside the machine body 1. A uniform drying unit 2 for drying empty frames is provided inside the drying component 12. The uniform drying unit 2 includes a turntable 21, a rotating component 22, and a hot air blower 23.
[0037] The rotating component 22 is located below the turntable 21 and is used to drive the turntable 21 to perform circular motion; the hot air blower 23 is located above the turntable 21 and is used to dry the empty frame above the turntable 21 when the rotating component 22 drives the turntable 21 to rotate.
[0038] The rotating component 22 includes a first sprocket 221, a second sprocket 222, and a chain 223. The first sprocket 221 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the turntable 21. The second sprocket 222 is disposed on one side of the first sprocket 221. The chain 223 is sleeved on the outer surfaces of the first sprocket 221 and the second sprocket 222, and the chain 223 meshes with the first sprocket 221 and the second sprocket 222. The rotating component 22 also includes a motor 224. The motor 224 is disposed above the second sprocket 222, and the output shaft of the motor 224 is fixedly mounted to the second sprocket 222. A push-pull component 24 is disposed on one side of the drying chamber 121. The push-pull component 24 includes a push-pull cylinder 241 and a push plate 242.

Through the chain 223, the first sprocket 221 rotates, and the turntable 21 rotates synchronously, allowing the empty frame to rotate 360°, ensuring drying quality. After drying is complete, the motor 224... The rotation stops, and the push-pull cylinder 241 is activated. The push-pull cylinder 241 pushes the push plate 242 to one side, pushing the empty frame out of the discharge port 27, thus completing the drying of the empty frame. Since there is also a guide gap between the turntable 21 and the bottom of the drying box 121, water is introduced into the collection box 122 for collection, completing the drying of the empty frame. The hot air blower 23 is usually composed of three main parts: a blower, a heater, and a control circuit. Its principle is that after being powered on, the blower blows air into the heater, so that the air passes evenly through the inside and outside of the spiral heating wire. The heat generated by the heating wire after being powered on exchanges heat with the passing cold air, thereby raising the air temperature at the air outlet 26. The heated air is blown into the interior of the air duct 25 and blown out through the air outlet 26, achieving the purpose of drying the empty frame and meeting the user's needs.
