[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 2-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rapid cleaning device for recycling plastic bottles, including a base plate 1 and an inflation mechanism 2 and a first cleaning mechanism 3 respectively arranged vertically on one side of the front of the base plate 1, and a second cleaning mechanism 4 assembled on the other side of the front of the base plate 1. The inflation mechanism 2 includes a transverse slide rail 201, a telescopic cylinder 202 is slidably installed on the front of the transverse slide rail 201, a cylinder gripper 203 is fixedly installed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 202, an inflation frame 204 is fixedly installed at the top of the transverse slide rail 201, a descending push rod 205 is fixedly installed at the top of the inflation frame 204, an inflation seat 206 is fixedly installed at the output end of the descending push rod 205, and a flexible column 207 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inflation seat 206.

[0029] During use, the operator places the plastic bottle under the inflatable base 206, with the bottle opening inserted into the flexible column 207 and contacting the bottom of the inflatable base 206. The cylinder gripper 203 can hold the plastic bottle. The inflatable base 206 can be inflated and reset by an external inflation device. Inflating and resetting the plastic bottle facilitates subsequent cleaning, avoiding the situation where the plastic bottle is flat and affects the cleaning quality or cannot be cleaned. This increases the functionality of the device and reduces the limitations during cleaning. After the plastic bottle is inflated and reset, the lowering push rod 205 extends to lower the inflatable base 206 and the plastic bottle. Before the plastic bottle descends, the cylinder gripper 203 releases it and retracts to the rear of the plastic bottle by the telescopic cylinder 202.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4-7 As shown, the first cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning tank 301, a rotating drum 302 is rotatably mounted inside the cleaning tank 301, flexible bristles 303 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the rotating drum 302, and a first cleaning motor 306 with an output shaft connected to the rotating drum 302 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the cleaning tank 301. The second cleaning mechanism 4 includes a longitudinal slide rail 401, a lifting frame 402 is slidably mounted on the front of the longitudinal slide rail 401, a second cleaning motor 403 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting frame 402, and the output shaft of the second cleaning motor 403 passes through the lifting frame 402 and is fixedly mounted with a brush roller 404.

[0032] In use, the lowering push rod 205 pushes the inflated plastic bottle down into the rotating drum 302. The first cleaning motor 306 drives the rotating drum 302 to rotate. During the rotation, the flexible bristles 303 on the inner wall of the rotating drum 302 unfold due to centrifugal force, thus cleaning the outer wall of the plastic bottle. Water is also added to the cleaning tank 301 to clean the plastic bottle. After cleaning the outer wall of the plastic bottle, the lowering push rod 205 raises the plastic bottle back to the inflated position, and the telescopic cylinder... The cylinder gripper 202 and cylinder clamp 203 clamp the plastic bottle after the outer wall is cleaned, and move the plastic bottle to the bottom of the longitudinal slide rail 401 via the transverse slide rail 201. The longitudinal slide rail 401 drives the second cleaning motor 403 and brush roller 404 to descend via the lifting frame 402, so that the brush roller 404 can be inserted into the plastic bottle through the bottle mouth. The second cleaning motor 403 drives the brush roller 404 to rotate inside the plastic bottle to clean its inner wall, which increases the number of cleaning methods for plastic bottles and improves the cleaning effect of the device.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, clamping push rods 208 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inflatable base 206, and clamping rings 209 are fixedly installed on the output ends of the clamping push rods 208.

[0034] In use, the clamping push rod 208 can extend to push the clamping ring 209. The inward movement of the clamping ring 209 can clamp and fix the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle, thus fixing it when the plastic bottle mouth is connected to the inflation seat 206. This ensures the situation when the inflation seat 206 inflates and resets the plastic bottle. The clamping ring 209 also facilitates the inflation seat 206 to lower and raise the plastic bottle.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, a rubber cover 405 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the output shaft of the second cleaning motor 403, and a water injection pipe 406 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the rubber cover 405.

[0036] When in use, the rubber cap 405 can close the bottle opening when the brush roller 404 is inserted into the plastic bottle, and the water injection pipe 406 is connected to the external water source pipe, so that cleaning fluid can be injected into the inside of the plastic bottle through the water injection pipe 406, thereby facilitating the brush roller 404 to clean the inside of the plastic bottle.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a water inlet pipe 304 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the cleaning tank 301, and a drain pipe 305 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cleaning tank 301.

[0038] In use, the water inlet pipe 304 is connected to an external water source pipe, so that cleaning fluid can be injected into the cleaning tank 301 and the rotating drum 302 through the water inlet pipe 304, and the drain pipe 305 can discharge the cleaning fluid after use.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a spring air tube 2010 is fixedly connected to the top of the air seat 206, and a quick connector is fixedly installed at one end of the spring air tube 2010.

[0040] In use, the spring air hose 2010 is connected to an external air pump via a quick connector, so that air can be supplied to the inflation seat 206 during operation, making it convenient for the inflation seat 206 to inflate and reset the plastic bottle.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a fixing bracket 101 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the base plate 1, and screw holes are opened on the fixing bracket 101.

[0042] In use, the fixing bracket 101 can support both sides of the seat plate 1, and the bottom of the fixing bracket 101 can be fixed by bolts through the screw holes, ensuring the stability of the fixing bracket 101 when supporting the seat plate 1.

[0043] Working principle: The inflation seat 206 and flexible column 207 can inflate and reset the recycled plastic bottle. The lowering push rod 205 can lower and push the inflated plastic bottle into the cleaning tank 301. The first cleaning motor 306 drives the rotating drum 302 to rotate and clean the outer wall of the plastic bottle. The lowering push rod 205 retracts and lifts the plastic bottle back to the inflation position after the outer wall is cleaned. The horizontal slide rail 201 moves the plastic bottle to the underside of the vertical slide rail 401 through the cylinder gripper 203. The vertical slide rail 401 can insert the brush roller 404 into the plastic bottle. The second cleaning motor 403 drives the brush roller 404 to rotate and clean the inside of the plastic bottle.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
