[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] Example

[0035] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a glass bottle drying device, comprising:

[0037] Drying oven 1, with multiple drying seats 2 inside the drying oven 1, and inverted glass wine bottles 3 placed on the drying seats 2;

[0038] The lid 4 is placed on the top surface of the drying oven 1. Multiple stabilizing seats 5 are evenly connected to the bottom of the lid 4. The stabilizing seats 5 are pressed against the bottom of the glass wine bottle 3.

[0039] First hot air pipe 6, multiple first hot air pipes 6 are connected to the side wall of drying oven 1;

[0040] The second hot air pipe 7 is connected to the drying base 2 and extends into the glass wine bottle 3. The first hot air pipe 6 and the second hot air pipe 7 are connected to the heat pump 9 through pipes.

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0042] This embodiment provides a glass bottle drying device. In use, the lid 4 is opened, and the cleaned glass bottle 3 is inverted on the drying base 2, with the second hot air pipe 7 extending into the glass bottle 3. Then, the lid 4 is closed, and the stabilizing seat 5 at the bottom of the lid 4 is pressed against the bottom of the glass bottle 3. The heat pump 9 is activated to deliver high-temperature airflow into the first hot air pipe 6 and the second hot air pipe 7. Multiple air outlets are provided on the side walls of the first and second hot air pipes 6 and 7. The high-temperature airflow in the first hot air pipe 6 blows through the air outlets onto the outer wall of the glass bottle 3, drying the outer wall. The high-temperature airflow in the second hot air pipe 7 blows through the air outlets onto the inner wall of the glass bottle 3, drying the glass bottle 3. Because the glass bottle 3 is inverted, water droplets adhering to its inner and outer walls can fall and collect in the drying base 2.

[0043] Through the above structural design, the first hot air pipe 6 and the second hot air pipe 7 are used simultaneously during drying to dry the outer and inner walls of the glass bottle 3 respectively, ensuring the quality of drying. Inverting the glass bottle 3 allows water droplets adhering to the inner and outer walls to fall into the drying seat 2, avoiding the problem of water droplets accumulating at the bottom of the bottle during the drying process when the glass bottle 3 is upright, which would prevent effective drying or excessive drying time. Under the pressing action of the stabilizing seat 5, the glass bottle 3 can remain stable when the high-temperature airflow is sprayed, reducing the collision between the glass bottle 3 and the structural components and preventing bump damage or breakage.

[0044] In one embodiment, cylinders 8 are provided on both sides of the drying box 1 and the cylinders 8 extend and retract in the vertical direction. The extension and retraction ends of the cylinders 8 are connected to both sides of the box cover 4.

[0045] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0046] By activating the cylinders 8 on both sides, their telescopic ends extend synchronously, lifting the lid 4 to open it, making it easier to load the glass bottles 3; by activating the cylinders 8 on both sides, their telescopic ends shorten synchronously, lowering the lid 4 until it contacts the upper surface of the drying chamber 1, thus closing the lid 4, reducing the loss of high-temperature gas, and improving drying efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, a plurality of airflow holes 10 are evenly arranged on the cover 4.

[0048] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0049] An airflow hole 10 is provided on the lid 4 to facilitate the flow of high-temperature gas generated during the drying process out of the drying chamber 1, thus preventing the humidity inside the drying chamber 1 from being too high and failing to achieve the expected drying effect.

[0050] In one embodiment, the drying rack 2 includes a water receiving tray 11 and a bottle rack 12. The water receiving tray 11 is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 13 of the drying chamber 1. The bottle rack 12 is connected to the top of the water receiving tray 11 and is adapted to the curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle 3.

[0051] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0052] A bottle rack 12 is provided on the drying rack 2. The bottle rack 12 can adapt to the curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle 3 and support the glass bottle 3. A water receiving tray 11 is provided below the bottle rack 12. Water droplets on the inner and outer walls of the inverted glass bottle 3 can slide down and be collected in the water receiving tray 11 for easy centralized treatment.

[0053] In one embodiment, a rotating mechanism is provided inside the drying chamber 1, the rotating mechanism comprising:

[0054] Motor 14 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of drying oven 1;

[0055] The first rotating shaft 15 has its top end rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 13 and its bottom end connected to the output end of the motor 14. A first gear 16 is connected to the first rotating shaft 15.

[0056] The second rotating shaft 17, the top ends of multiple second rotating shafts 17 are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 13, the second rotating shaft 17 is connected to the second gear 18, the second gear 18 is meshed with the first gear 16, and the top end of the second rotating shaft 17 is connected to the water receiving tray 11.

[0057] The second hot air duct 7 is coaxially arranged in the water receiving tray 11, the second rotating shaft 17, and the second gear 18, and the water receiving tray 11, the second rotating shaft 17, and the second gear 18 are provided with channels for the second hot air duct 7 to pass through.

[0058] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0059] When the rotating mechanism is in use, the starting motor 14 drives the first rotating shaft 15 to rotate, and the first gear 16 on it rotates synchronously. The first gear 16 meshes with the second gear 18 to drive the second rotating shaft 17 to rotate. Multiple second rotating shafts 17 drive the water receiving tray 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the glass bottle 3 to rotate, thus realizing the self-rotation of the glass bottle 3. When the first hot air pipe 6 blows high-temperature airflow to dry the glass bottle 3, the high-temperature airflow can make uniform contact with all positions on the outer wall of the glass bottle 3, improving the drying efficiency and avoiding local overheating of the glass bottle 3.

[0060] In one embodiment, the stabilizing seat 5 includes: a sliding rod 21, a limiting plate 22, a sliding sleeve 23, and a spring 24. Multiple sliding rods 21 are connected to the bottom end of the box cover 4 and correspond one-to-one with the drying seat 2. The limiting plate 22 is disposed at the upper and lower ends of the sliding rod 21. The sliding sleeve 23 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 21, and the top end of the sliding sleeve 23 is engaged with the limiting plate 22. The spring 24 is sleeved on the sliding rod 21, and the spring 24 abuts against the upper limiting plate 22 and the top end of the sliding sleeve 23.

[0061] The stabilizer 5 also includes a central disk 25 and a movable ring 26 arranged coaxially. The central disk 25 is connected to the bottom end of the sliding sleeve 23, and the movable ring 26 is rotatably connected to the outside of the central disk 25. A plurality of balls 27 are evenly arranged between the central disk 25 and the movable ring 26.

[0062] The bottom surface of the movable ring 26 is lower than the bottom surface of the central plate 25, and a friction pad 28 is connected to the bottom of the movable ring 26.

[0063] The central disk 25 has multiple through holes 29.

[0064] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0065] As the lid 4 closes, the stabilizing seat 5 moves downward. When the movable ring 26 at the bottom of the stabilizing seat 5 contacts the glass bottle 3, it compresses the movable ring 26 and the central plate 25, causing the sliding sleeve 23 to slide on the sliding rod 21 and only in the vertical direction. This compresses the spring 24, storing energy until the lid 4 is completely closed. Under the elastic force of the spring 24, the friction pad 28 is tightly pressed against the bottom of the glass bottle 3. As the glass bottle 3 rotates, the friction pad 28 and the movable ring 26 rotate. A gap is provided between the central plate 25 and the bottom of the glass bottle 3, which does not obstruct the rotation of the glass bottle 3. A through hole 29 is provided on the central plate 25, allowing high-temperature airflow to enter the gap through the through hole 29 to dry the bottom of the glass bottle 3.

[0066] Through the above structural design, under the pressing action of the movable ring 26, the glass bottle 3 can remain stable during high-temperature airflow blowing, reducing the collision between the glass bottle 3 and the structural components and preventing bump damage or breakage; while the movable ring 26 is tightly pressed against the glass bottle 3, it can rotate synchronously with the glass bottle 3; the flexibility of the movable ring 26 is improved by setting multiple ball bearings 27; the reserved through hole 29 allows the high-temperature airflow to contact the bottom of the glass bottle 3, effectively achieving comprehensive drying.

[0067] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0068] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
