They can quickly and efficiently clean various types of bottles, including glass bottles, plastic bottles, and ampoules, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene, preventing cross-contamination, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Bottle washing machines come in a wide variety of types and functions to meet the needs of different scenarios. Among them, the linear tilting bottle washing machine uses a robotic arm to tilt and invert the bottles for rinsing, and uses high-pressure water or clean air to rinse and dry the inside of the bottles, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of the bottles.

[0004] However, during the use of a linear tilting bottle washing machine, the robotic arm applies pressure to the bottle body. If individual bottles are crushed due to compression, gaps may appear between the bottles. In this case, after the bottle body is tilted, the water jets from the corresponding nozzles at the gaps will form unrestrained sprays and splash around, affecting the cleaning effect and operating efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, a linear tilting bottle washing machine is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a linear flipping bottle washing machine to solve the problem that when the robotic arm applies pressure to the bottle body, if some bottles are crushed due to compression, gaps may appear between the bottles. In this case, after the bottle body is flipped, the water jets from the corresponding spray nozzles at the gaps will form unrestrained sprays and splash around, affecting the cleaning effect and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[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] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A linear tilting bottle washing machine includes a servo motor 1, a rotating rod 2, and a tilting frame 3. One end of the output shaft of the servo motor 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 2. The tilting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 2 by welding. A rubber clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the tilting frame 3. A notch 5 is opened on the inside of the rubber clamping plate 4. A rotating frame 6 is arranged inside the notch 5. The rotating frame 6 includes a fixing block 61. A rotating shaft 62 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing block 61. A grooved frame 63 is fixedly connected through the rotating shaft 62. A torsion spring 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the grooved frame 63. A sliding groove 65 is opened on the inside of the grooved frame 63. A limit component 66 is installed inside the sliding groove 65. An anti-splash component 67 is installed inside the limit component 66.

[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, a rubber clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block 61. The projection of the rotating shaft 62 in the vertical direction is "I" shaped. The two ends of the rotating shaft 62 are rotatably connected to the rubber clamping plate 4. The rubber material of the rubber clamping plate 4 provides flexible clamping while avoiding scratches or damage to the bottle surface. At the same time, it reduces the risk of the bottle slipping during the flipping process. The shape of the rotating shaft 62 can prevent it from slipping out of the rubber clamping plate 4 when the rubber clamping plate 4 is deformed, thus ensuring the stability of the device.

[0031] As a further implementation of this scheme, the width of the slotted frame 63 is the same as the width of the notch 5. One end of the slotted frame 63 is arc-shaped, and one end of the torsion spring 64 is fixedly connected to the rubber clamping plate 4. There are two torsion springs 64, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fixed block 61. This design improves the wedge fit between the components and facilitates the cooperation between the components, thereby achieving better operation of the device.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, the limiting component 66 includes a sliding lever 661, with a nut 662 screwed to the outside of the sliding lever 661. A limiting claw 663 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding lever 661, and a ball bearing 664 is rolled on the inside of the limiting claw 663. The outside of the sliding lever 661 fits against the inside of the sliding groove 65. The sliding lever 661, the nut 662, and the limiting claw 663 are on the same axis. One side of the nut 662 is in close contact with one side of the grooved bracket 63. One-quarter of the ball bearing 664 is exposed on the outside of the limiting claw 663. The combination design of the sliding lever 661 and the nut 662 allows for fine adjustment of the position of the limiting claw 663, thereby adapting to bottles of different sizes. This adjustability enables the equipment to be compatible with bottles of various specifications, improving its versatility.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the anti-splash assembly 67 includes a ball shaft 671. A rubber ring 672 is fixedly connected to the outside of the ball shaft 671 by adhesive bonding. A stopper 673 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber ring 672. An elastic sealing ring 674 is fitted on the outside of the stopper 673. The outside of the ball shaft 671 is in contact with the outside of the ball 664. The central axis of the ball shaft 671 and the central axis of the sliding lever 661 are on the same straight line. The vertical projection of the rubber ring 672 is rectangular. The bottom of the stopper 673 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped bottom design of the stopper 673 can adapt to bottles of different shapes, improving the versatility of the equipment. The contact design between the ball shaft 671 and the ball 664 makes the anti-splash assembly 67 rotate more smoothly, allowing the bottom of the stopper 673 to be more perpendicular to the ground. The elastic sealing ring 674 can further provide a good sealing effect, effectively preventing liquid splashing.

[0034] Working Process: When the linear tilting bottle washing machine is in operation, when the bottle to be washed enters the inside of the tilting frame 3 and is clamped by the tilting frame 3 and the rubber clamping plate 4, the servo motor 1 starts. The main shaft of the servo motor 1 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, causing the tilting frame 3 to rotate 180°. At this time, the bottle mouth is inverted, and the bottle body remains stable. The cleaning nozzle head in the device will then extend into the bottle through the bottle mouth to clean it. If the bottle breaks during the process of the tilting frame 3 and the rubber clamping plate 4 clamping the bottle body, the rotating frame 6 in the tilted rubber clamping plate 4 will not be obstructed by the bottle. The grooved frame 63 will rotate under the elastic force generated by the torsion spring 64, causing the grooved frame 63 to rotate out of the notch 5. At the same time, the anti-splash component 67 will also rotate inside the limiting component 66 under the action of gravity, making the bottom end of the stopper 673 perpendicular to the ground. The anti-splash assembly 67 rotates more smoothly thanks to the ball bearing 671 and ball bearing 664. The rubber ring 672 and limiting claw 663 ensure the stability of the ball bearing 671's rotation. By rotating the nut 662, the sliding lever 661 can slide in the sliding groove 65, thereby adjusting the relative position of the limiting assembly 66 and the grooved frame 63 to better adapt to bottles of different shapes and diameters. At this time, the gap caused by bottle breakage will suspend the corresponding anti-splash assembly 67. When the cleaning nozzle head rises, the arc-shaped design at the bottom of the stopper 673 allows the stopper 673 to better block the nozzle. The elastic sealing ring 674 further improves the sealing effect, preventing the water from the nozzle corresponding to the gap from spraying unrestrainedly onto the machine or the surrounding ground, causing damage to the working environment.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art 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 appended claims and their equivalents.
