Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to an automatic bottle cap cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging bottles play a crucial role in the storage and transportation of products in the food, catering, wine, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. If the inner wall or cap of the packaging bottle carries bacteria or other microorganisms, these microorganisms will rapidly multiply and grow due to the nutrient-rich environment after coming into contact with the product contents, leading to product spoilage. Therefore, the cleaning and disinfection of packaging bottles are very important for ensuring the quality of products after bottling.

[0003] According to a search, Chinese patent document CN213793162U discloses a quick bottle cap cleaning device. By incorporating a drive unit and a cleaning brush, it can quickly clean bottle caps. By adding a switching component, a base plate, and a limiting plate, the base plate can be raised after cleaning, tilting towards the discharge port to facilitate cap output. A storage bottle and a pump are included to place detergent outside the cleaning tank, making detergent addition easier and faster. However, during the cleaning process, while the rotating cleaning brush can rotate the bottle caps for cleaning, the caps tend to rotate with the brush, leading to repeated cleaning of the same area, resulting in incomplete cleaning, poor cleaning effect, and prolonged cleaning time. Furthermore, debris and dirt removed during cleaning can repeatedly rotate with the bottle caps, causing impurities to adhere to the outside of the caps, preventing water recycling and wasting resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic bottle cap cleaning device that facilitates the filtration and recycling of cleaning wastewater, preventing impurities from re-adhering to the bottle caps during the cleaning process. Furthermore, through two-stage cleaning (both forward and reverse), it can clean multiple areas of the bottle caps, avoiding incomplete cleaning and improving cleaning quality and efficiency, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic bottle cap cleaning device, comprising an outer casing, a feeding hopper on the top side of the outer casing, a bidirectional motor on the inner side of the feeding hopper, a pusher frame on the top of the bidirectional motor, a first brush roller on the lower end of the bidirectional motor, an inner cylinder on the inner side of the outer casing, a second brush roller movably mounted on the inner side of the inner cylinder, a discharge pipe on the bottom side of the outer casing, a solenoid valve on the inner side of the discharge pipe, and a circulation box fixedly mounted on the left side of the outer casing, with a filter screen movably mounted on the inner side of the circulation box.

[0008] Preferably, the top side of the feeding hopper is provided with a feeding port, the feeding port has an inclined structure, and a total of four feeding ports are provided. The top side of the feeding hopper is provided with a protective cover, and a bidirectional motor is provided inside the protective cover.

[0009] With the above technical solution, the four feeding ports are inclined, which facilitates the bottle caps to enter the inner cylinder for cleaning during the feeding process. Moreover, the protective cover helps to prevent damage to the bidirectional motor.

[0010] Preferably, the pusher includes a fixed sleeve, extension columns and a scraper. The fixed sleeve is fixedly installed on the outside of the upper drive shaft of the bidirectional motor, and three sets of equidistant extension columns are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed sleeve. A scraper is fixedly installed on the end of the extension column away from the fixed sleeve.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the pusher frame is rotated under the drive of the bidirectional motor, which facilitates the rotation of the bottle cap by the three sets of extension columns and scrapers, thereby making it easier for the bottle cap to enter the inner cylinder through the feeding port, improving the feeding smoothness and avoiding blockage.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the first brush roller is provided with a main gear, and the drive shaft of the lower end of the bidirectional motor is fixedly installed on the top side of the main gear. A total of four second brush rollers are provided, and the top of the second brush roller is provided with a secondary gear. The secondary gear and the main gear are connected by meshing.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, during the bottle cap cleaning process, the bidirectional motor rotates while driving the main gear and the first brush roller to rotate. Moreover, the main gear drives four sets of auxiliary gears and the second brush roller 7 to rotate in the opposite direction. This facilitates the cleaning of the bottle cap by rotating the first and second brush rollers in both directions, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and thoroughness, and enhancing the overall cleaning quality of the bottle cap.

[0014] Preferably, the top side of the inner cylinder has four annularly arranged grooves, the inner side of the grooves has a connecting hole, the second brush roller is movably installed on the concave side of the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and the auxiliary gear is located inside the groove. The top side of the inner cylinder has a feed port, which corresponds one-to-one with the loading port. A support frame is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inner side of the inner cylinder, and the outer side of the inner cylinder has several equidistant through holes.

[0015] The above technical solution allows for convenient positioning and protection of the auxiliary gear through the groove, thereby preventing the bottle cap from affecting the auxiliary gear during the feeding process. Furthermore, the several equidistantly arranged through holes on the outer side of the inner cylinder facilitate the entry of cleaning water into the inner cylinder, making cleaning easier and preventing the bottle cap from entering the gap between the inner cylinder and the outer box. At the same time, the feed port facilitates the entry of the bottle cap into the inner cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, support plates are provided on both sides of the circulation tank, and a pump is provided between the support plates. The inlet of the pump and the outlet of the other pump are respectively connected to an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe through pipes, and a total of two pumps are provided.

[0017] With the above technical solution, during the cleaning process, the pump draws water from the outlet pipe to the inlet hole at the upper rear of the circulation tank and then into the inner side of the circulation tank. The water is then filtered through the filter screen. Subsequently, another pump draws the filtered water from the outlet hole at the lower front side of the circulation tank and discharges it into the inlet pipe into the inner side of the outer tank. This helps to continuously remove impurities, avoids the re-adhesion of impurities on the bottle cap due to the circulation of sewage during the cleaning process, which would reduce the cleaning quality and avoid wasting water resources.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic bottle cap cleaning device, which has the following features:

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The bidirectional motor of this utility model drives the main gear and the first brush roller to rotate at the same time. Moreover, the main gear drives the four sets of auxiliary gears and the second brush roller to rotate in opposite directions. This is beneficial for cleaning bottle caps by using the first and second brush rollers to clean the bottle caps in both forward and reverse directions, which helps to improve cleaning efficiency and cleanliness, and improve the overall cleaning quality of the bottle caps.

[0021] 2. In the cleaning process of this utility model, the water is pumped from the outlet pipe to the inlet hole at the upper rear of the circulation tank and then enters the inner side of the circulation tank. It is then filtered through the filter screen. Subsequently, another pump draws the filtered water from the outlet hole at the lower front side of the circulation tank and discharges it into the inner side of the outer tank through the inlet pipe. This helps to continuously remove impurities and avoids the wastewater circulation during the cleaning process, which would cause impurities to re-adhere to the bottle cap, resulting in a decrease in cleaning quality and a waste of water resources.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic bottle cap cleaning device, including an outer box 1, a feeding hopper 2 on the top side of the outer box 1, a bidirectional motor 3 on the inner side of the feeding hopper 2, a pusher frame 4 on the top of the bidirectional motor 3, a first brush roller 5 on the lower end of the bidirectional motor 3, an inner cylinder 6 on the inner side of the outer box 1, a second brush roller 7 movably installed on the inner side of the inner cylinder 6, a discharge pipe 8 on the bottom side of the outer box 1, a solenoid valve on the inner side of the discharge pipe 8, and a circulation box 9 fixedly installed on the left side of the outer box 1, with a filter screen 10 movably installed on the inner side of the circulation box 9.

[0031] Specifically, the top side of the feeding hopper 2 has a feeding port 201, which has an inclined structure, and there are a total of four feeding ports 201. The top side of the feeding hopper 2 is equipped with a protective cover 202, and a bidirectional motor 3 is installed inside the protective cover 202. The advantage is that, since the four feeding ports 201 have an inclined structure, it is convenient for bottle caps to enter the inner cylinder 6 for cleaning during the feeding process, and the protective cover 202 helps to prevent damage to the bidirectional motor 3.

[0032] Specifically, the pusher frame 4 includes a fixed sleeve 401, extension columns 402, and a scraper 403. The fixed sleeve 401 is fixedly installed on the outside of the upper drive shaft of the bidirectional motor 3, and three sets of equidistantly arranged extension columns 402 are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 401. The scraper 403 is fixedly installed on the end of the extension column 402 away from the fixed sleeve 401. The advantage is that the bidirectional motor 3 drives the pusher frame 4 to rotate, which facilitates the rotation of the bottle cap by the three sets of extension columns 402 and the scraper 403, thereby facilitating the bottle cap to enter the inner cylinder 6 through the feed port 201, improving the smoothness of feeding and avoiding blockage.

[0033] Specifically, the top of the first brush roller 5 is equipped with a main gear 501, and the drive shaft of the bidirectional motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the top side of the main gear 501. There are a total of four second brush rollers 7, and the top of each second brush roller 7 is equipped with a secondary gear 701, which is meshed with the main gear 501. The advantage is that the rotation of the bidirectional motor 3 simultaneously drives the main gear 501 and the first brush roller 5 to rotate, and the main gear 501 drives the four sets of secondary gears 701 and the second brush rollers 7 to rotate in opposite directions. This facilitates cleaning bottle caps by using the forward and reverse rotation of the first and second brush rollers 7, improving cleaning efficiency and thoroughness, and ultimately enhancing the quality of bottle cap cleaning.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, as an improvement on the previous embodiment, specifically, four annularly arranged grooves 601 are provided on the top side of the inner cylinder 6, and connecting holes 602 are provided on the inner side of the grooves 601. The second brush rollers 7 are respectively movably installed on the concave side of the inner wall of the inner cylinder 6, and the auxiliary gear 701 is located on the inner side of the grooves 601. A feed inlet 603 is provided on the top side of the inner cylinder 6, and the feed inlet 603 corresponds one-to-one with the loading port 201. A support frame 604 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner side of the inner cylinder 6, and several equidistant through holes are provided on the outer side of the inner cylinder 6. The advantages are that the groove 601 facilitates the limiting and protection of the auxiliary gear 701, thereby preventing the bottle cap from affecting the auxiliary gear 701 during the feeding process. Moreover, the several equidistant through holes on the outer side of the inner cylinder 6 facilitate the entry of cleaning water into the inner cylinder 6, making cleaning easier and preventing the bottle cap from entering the gap between the inner cylinder 6 and the outer box 1. At the same time, the feed port 603 facilitates the entry of the bottle cap into the inner side of the inner cylinder 6.

[0036] Specifically, support plates 901 are respectively installed on both sides of the circulation tank 9, and a pump 902 is installed between the support plates 901. The inlet end of the pump 902 and the outlet end of the other pump 902 are connected to the outlet pipe 903 and the inlet pipe 904 respectively through pipes, and a total of two pumps 902 are installed. The advantage is that the water is drawn from the outlet pipe 903 by the pump 902 into the inlet hole at the upper rear side of the circulation tank 9 and then filtered through the filter screen plate 10. Then the other pump 902 draws the filtered water from the outlet hole at the lower front side of the circulation tank 9 and discharges it into the inlet pipe 904 into the inner side of the outer tank 1. This helps to continuously remove impurities, avoids the re-adhesion of impurities on the bottle cap due to the circulation of sewage during the cleaning process, which would reduce the cleaning quality and avoid wasting water resources.

[0037] In use, the bottle cap is placed inside the feeding hopper 2, and then the bidirectional motor 3 is started to drive the pusher 4 to rotate. This facilitates the rotation of the bottle cap, which then passes through the feeding port 201 to the inlet 603 and enters the inner cylinder 6. Simultaneously, the bidirectional motor 3 drives the main gear 501 and the first brush roller 5 to rotate. Furthermore, the main gear 501 drives four sets of auxiliary gears 701 and the second brush roller 7 to rotate in opposite directions. This allows the first and second brush rollers 5 and 7 to clean the bottle cap in both forward and reverse directions, improving cleaning efficiency. This method ensures comprehensive cleaning and improves the overall cleaning quality of bottle caps. During the cleaning process, pump 902 draws water from the outlet pipe 903 to the inlet hole at the upper rear of the circulation tank 9, where it enters the inner side of the circulation tank 9. The water is then filtered through the filter screen 10. Subsequently, another pump 902 draws the filtered water from the outlet hole at the lower front side of the circulation tank 9 and discharges it into the inner side of the outer tank 1 through the inlet pipe 904. This helps to continuously remove impurities, preventing the bottle caps from re-adhering impurities during the wastewater circulation cleaning process, thus avoiding a decrease in cleaning quality and the waste of water resources.
