[0004] In existing technology, bottle caps are flipped by using a cylinder to push them over. This means that all bottle caps need to be flipped one by one, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Therefore, there is a need to improve the method of flipping one by one to meet the needs of factories for large-scale disinfection of bottle caps.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problem of low efficiency in flipping bottle caps one by one, and provides a bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a bottle cap flipping structure, comprising:

[0008] The conveyor belt has a plurality of adsorption holes evenly distributed in rows.

[0009] An air suction assembly, installed inside the conveyor belt, is used to guide the conveyor belt and extract air. The air suction assembly includes a guide post, a fan, a mounting base, and air suction slots. The mounting base is fixedly installed inside the conveyor belt and is hollow inside. The fan is connected to the chamber of the mounting base. The guide post is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The guide post has several air suction slots that can be aligned with the adsorption holes to draw air and adsorb the bottle caps onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is wound around the guide post.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide post is a hollow cylinder, and the air intake groove is formed on the circumferential surface of the guide post. The air intake groove is a rectangular groove and is formed along the radial direction of the guide post. The length of the air intake groove is less than the length of the guide post.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air inlet of the fan is fixedly installed with a connecting pipe, which passes through the mounting base and communicates with the chamber of the mounting base.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air intake assembly further includes a limiting groove and a connecting port. The limiting groove is formed on one side of the mounting base, the guide column is rotatably disposed in the limiting groove, and a connecting port is formed on the inner side wall of the limiting groove, the connecting port communicating with the chamber of the mounting base.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting base is a rectangular box, the limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the circumferential surface of the guide post is located within the limiting groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air suction assembly further includes bottom suction holes, and the bottom of the mounting base is provided with several bottom suction holes, with the bottom surface of the mounting base in contact with the conveyor belt.

[0015] A double-sided sterilization device includes a main body, with sterilization lamps on the top and one side of the main body. The main body is equipped with all the aforementioned bottle cap flipping structures. The conveyor belt is installed above the main body. The guide column is rotatably connected to the main body. The fan and mounting base are fixedly connected to the main body. The bottom of the main body is provided with a window, and a discharge chute is fixedly installed at the window.

[0016] This utility model provides a bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization device. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment, by connecting a fan to a power source and a control switch, allows the fan to ventilate the chamber of the mounting base. Since the air intake groove is connected to the chamber of the mounting base, a negative pressure is formed inside the guide column. When one row of air intake grooves coincides with the adsorption hole, the bottle cap will be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt under the action of air pressure difference. After the position of the bottle cap adsorbed by the conveyor belt separates from the guide column, the bottle cap falls and flips over. The structure is simple, efficient, and suitable for the sterilization of bottle caps in the beverage production process, and has practical production significance.

[0018] 2. This bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment, by placing the guide column in the limiting groove, and setting retainers at both ends of the mounting base, restricts the end of the guide column to maintain stable circumferential movement by installing a rotating shaft on the retainer. By aligning the connecting port with the air suction groove, air is drawn from inside the guide column, ensuring that a negative pressure can be formed at the contact position between the guide column and the conveyor belt, achieving stable adsorption of the bottle cap, facilitating subsequent flipping operations, and making the operation more stable.

[0019] 3. The bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment, by setting the above structure, allows the entire device to flip the bottle cap after sterilizing one side, and after being guided by the discharge chute, it is sent to another main body for further sterilization, ensuring that both sides of the bottle cap are thoroughly sterilized, improving sterilization quality and efficiency, with a simple structure and low use and maintenance costs.

[0026] A bottle cap flipping structure and its double-sided sterilization equipment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0027] The conveyor belt 10 has a number of adsorption holes 18 evenly distributed in rows.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the suction assembly is installed inside the conveyor belt 10 for guiding and suctioning the conveyor belt 10. The suction assembly includes a guide post 11, a fan 12, a mounting base 13, and suction slots 14. The mounting base 13 is fixedly installed inside the conveyor belt 10 and is hollow inside. The fan 12 is connected to the chamber of the mounting base 13. The guide post 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 13. The guide post 11 has several suction slots 14. The suction slots 14 can be aligned with the adsorption holes 18 to adsorb the bottle cap onto the conveyor belt 10. The conveyor belt 10 is wound around the guide post 11. The guide post 11 is a hollow cylinder. The suction slots 14 are opened on the circumferential surface of the guide post 11. The suction slots 14 are rectangular slots and are opened radially along the guide post 11. The length of the suction slots 14 is less than the length of the guide post 11. The air inlet of the fan 12 is fixedly installed with a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe passes through the mounting base 13 and communicates with the chamber of the mounting base 13.

[0029] In this solution, the contact point between the conveyor belt 10 and the guide post 11 is the position where the conveyor belt 10 flips. For example, the top surface of the conveyor belt 10 is the conveying surface. As the conveyor belt 10 moves, the top surface of the conveyor belt 10 will gradually flip to face downwards. The concept of this solution is to achieve the flipping by adsorbing the bottle cap onto the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 10 and moving with the conveyor belt 10. When the bottle cap flips to face downwards with the conveyor belt 10, the suction stops, and the bottle cap detaches from the conveyor belt 10 under the action of gravity, thus completing the flipping and achieving disinfection on the positive side. Specific implementation... The process is as follows: By connecting the blower 12 to the power supply and control switch, the blower 12 vents air into the chamber of the mounting base 13. Since the air intake groove 14 is connected to the chamber of the mounting base 13, a negative pressure is formed inside the guide column 11. When one row of air intake grooves 14 coincides with the adsorption hole 18, the bottle cap will be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt 10 under the action of air pressure difference. After the position of the bottle cap adsorbed by the conveyor belt 10 separates from the guide column 11, the bottle cap falls and flips over. The structure is simple and suitable for the disinfection of bottle caps in the beverage production process, which has practical production significance.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the suction assembly also includes a limiting groove 16 and a connecting port 17. The limiting groove 16 is formed on one side of the mounting base 13. The guide post 11 is rotatably disposed within the limiting groove 16. The connecting port 17 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 16, communicating with the chamber of the mounting base 13. The mounting base 13 is a rectangular box, and the limiting groove 16 is an arc-shaped groove. The circumferential surface of the guide post 11 is located within the limiting groove 16. The suction assembly also includes bottom suction holes 15, with several bottom suction holes 15 formed at the bottom of the mounting base 13. The bottom surface of the mounting base 13 is attached to the conveyor belt 10. By placing the guide post 11 in the limiting groove 16, retainers can be set at both ends of the mounting base 13. The rotating shaft installed on the retainer restricts the end of the guide post 11 to maintain stable circumferential movement. By aligning the connecting port 17 with the air suction groove 14, air is drawn from the inside of the guide post 11, ensuring that a negative pressure can be formed at the contact position between the guide post 11 and the conveyor belt 10, so as to achieve stable adsorption of the bottle cap, which facilitates subsequent flipping operations and makes the operation more stable.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a double-sided sterilization device includes a main body 20. Sterilization lamps are installed on the top and one side of the main body 20. A bottle cap flipping structure, as described above, is located above the main body 20. A conveyor belt 10 is installed above the main body 20. A guide column 11 is rotatably connected to the main body 20. A fan 12 and a mounting base 13 are fixedly connected to the main body 20. A window is located at the bottom of the main body 20, and a discharge chute 21 is fixedly installed at the window. Specifically, a guide roller is rotatably installed on one side of the main body 20, and the other end of the conveyor belt 10 is wound around the guide roller. A motor is also fixedly installed on one side of the main body 20. The guide roller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor to drive the conveyor belt 10. Bottle caps are placed on the conveyor belt 10 for transport. The sterilization lamps and motor require connection to a power supply and a control switch. By setting up the above structure, the entire device can sterilize one side of the bottle cap, flip it over, guide it through the discharge chute 21, and send it to the other main body 20 for further sterilization, ensuring thorough sterilization of both sides of the bottle cap, improving sterilization quality and efficiency. The structure is simple, and the use and maintenance costs are low.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By connecting the fan 12 to a power supply and a control switch, the fan 12 vents air into the chamber of the mounting base 13. Since the suction groove 14 is connected to the chamber of the mounting base 13, a negative pressure is formed inside the guide column 11. When one row of suction grooves 14 coincides with the adsorption hole 18, the bottle cap will be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt 10 under the action of air pressure difference. After the position of the bottle cap adsorbed by the conveyor belt 10 separates from the guide column 11, the bottle cap falls and flips over. By placing the guide column 11 in the limiting groove 16, retainers can be set at both ends of the mounting base 13. The rotating shaft installed on the retainer restricts the end of the guide column 11 to maintain stable circumferential movement. The connecting port 17 is aligned with the suction groove 14 to allow air to flow into the interior of the guide column 11. Air extraction ensures that a negative pressure is formed at the contact point between the guide post 11 and the conveyor belt 10, achieving stable adsorption of the bottle cap. Since the contact point between the conveyor belt 10 and the guide post 11 is the position where the conveyor belt 10 flips, for example, the top surface of the conveyor belt 10 is the conveying surface. As the conveyor belt 10 moves, the top surface of the conveyor belt 10 will gradually flip to face downwards. The concept of this solution is to achieve the flipping of the bottle cap by adsorbing it onto the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 10 and moving with the conveyor belt 10. When the bottle cap flips to face downwards with the conveyor belt 10, air extraction stops. Under the action of gravity, the bottle cap falls off and separates from the conveyor belt 10, thus completing the flipping and achieving disinfection on the positive side. After being guided by the discharge chute 21, it is sent to another main body 20 for further disinfection, ensuring that both sides of the bottle cap are thoroughly disinfected.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
