Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical bottle cleaning technology, specifically to an integrated device for cleaning and drying oral liquid bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical and food processing industries, the cleaning and sterilization of oral liquid bottles are critical steps in ensuring product quality and safety. Oral liquid bottles must undergo rigorous cleaning and sterilization before filling to remove any potential microorganisms, residues, and other contaminants. Traditional cleaning methods include immersion and spraying, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

[0003] Immersion is a common cleaning method. The process involves completely submerging the bottle in a pool of water, ensuring the bottle opening is upwards. After soaking for a period of time, the bottle is inverted to allow the liquid to drain completely. The advantage of immersion is its comprehensive cleaning effect, thoroughly cleaning both the inner and outer surfaces of the bottle. However, the disadvantages of immersion are that it is time-consuming and requires frequent water changes, increasing both water consumption and cleaning costs.

[0004] Spraying is another common cleaning method. The process involves inverting the bottle while it is clamped and then inserting a spray gun into the bottle to spray it. The advantages of spraying are water conservation and the ability of the spray gun to reach deep into the bottle's interior for thorough cleaning. However, the disadvantages are that it typically only clamps bottles conveyed on a single row of conveyors and sprays only one row at a time, resulting in lower efficiency. Furthermore, some of the water flowing from the bottle opening after spraying is in the form of a mist, splashing onto the outer walls of the bottle and accumulating at the opening. When the bottle is inverted, this stagnant water flows back into the inner cavity of the bottle, causing stains at the opening during subsequent drying and affecting the product's cleanliness.

[0033] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, a detailed description of the invention is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This utility model discloses an integrated cleaning and drying device for oral liquid bottles, comprising a conveyor belt, with clamping frames and a drying chamber sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. Four sets of clamping frames are arranged in parallel to form a first clamping channel and a second clamping channel. A clamping and flipping assembly is provided on the cleaning tank to clamp and flip the oral liquid bottles in the first and second clamping channels, suspending them above the cleaning tank. The clamping frames can clamp the bottles in the two parallel first and second clamping channels formed on the conveyor belt, and after flipping, they are simultaneously cleaned by two rinsing pipes, allowing multiple bottles to be cleaned at the same time. Simultaneously, the rotating side rinsing pipes rotate 360° around their axis, achieving comprehensive circumferential cleaning of the oral liquid bottles, ensuring that the bottle openings are free of contaminants after flipping.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Various changes can be made to the implementation scheme as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

[0035] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the embodiment of this application, an integrated washing and drying device is proposed. The device includes a conveyor belt 1, which is driven by a motor and can be stopped at any position during its journey by starting and stopping the motor. Further, clamping frames and a drying chamber 3 are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. A rotary feeder is provided at the inlet end of the conveyor belt 1 to sequentially and equidistantly convey oral liquid bottles onto the conveyor belt 1. In addition, there are four sets of clamping frames arranged side-by-side to form a first clamping channel 4 and a second clamping channel 5. A rotary feeder is provided at the ends of both the first and second clamping channels 4 and 5 to enable equidistant movement of the oral liquid bottles within the first and second clamping channels 4 and 5.

[0037] Furthermore, a cleaning tank 2 is provided on one side of the clamping frame, and a clamping and flipping assembly is provided on the cleaning tank 2 for clamping and flipping the oral liquid bottles in the first clamping channel 4 and the second clamping channel 5 and suspending them above the cleaning tank 2; wherein, the oral liquid bottles move in a straight line on the conveyor belt 1 guided by the clamping frame and stop at a predetermined position, and multiple oral liquid bottles in the clamping frame are clamped and flipped and suspended above the cleaning tank 2 by the clamping and flipping assembly to be cleaned by the spraying assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, a water pump 7 is installed on the cleaning tank 2. The output end of the water pump 7 is connected to a spray assembly. The water pump 7 is connected to a liquid supply pipe to pump the cleaning water into the spray assembly and spray it onto the inner cavity and outer wall of the oral liquid bottle for double cleaning inside and out.

[0039] It should be explained in detail that the cleaning pool 2 is divided into a first chamber 14 and a second chamber 15 arranged vertically by a screen 13. The spray assembly is located in the first chamber 14. After spraying, the liquid flowing down passes through the screen 13 and enters the second chamber 15 for storage and is then discharged uniformly.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, the spray assembly is connected to the net 13 via the second telescopic rod 29. When the clamping and flipping assembly clamps and flips the multiple oral liquid bottles in the clamping frame and suspends them above the cleaning pool 2, the second telescopic rod 29 drives the spray assembly to rise and approach the oral liquid bottles for spray cleaning. After cleaning, it descends and resets.

[0041] It should be noted in detail that the aforementioned barrier net 13 is made of metal and is fixed around its perimeter in the washing pool 2, with the second telescopic rod 29 fixed to the barrier 13. To improve the stability of the second telescopic rod 29, a support arm can also be provided in the second cavity 15 to support the lower part of the second telescopic rod 29. In this embodiment, the second telescopic rod 29 is preferably a cylinder.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment proposes one implementation of a spray assembly, including a main pipe 8, connecting pipes 10, and two shower pipes 11. The main pipe 8 is connected to a water pump 7 via a flexible hose, which facilitates the up-and-down movement of the spray assembly, ensuring smooth operation. Multiple connecting pipes 10 are arranged side-by-side along the direction of the main pipe 8 and are connected to it. Two shower pipes 11 are located at both ends of the connecting pipes 10; after the tilting frame 6 is tilted, the oral liquid bottle is suspended above the shower pipe 11, ensuring that the spray assembly can be directly inserted into the bottle's inner cavity after rising. Furthermore, a retainer 9 is provided on the main pipe 8, and the output end of the second telescopic rod 29 is connected to the retainer 9.

[0043] Furthermore, a side rinse pipe 12 is provided on one side of the rinse pipe 11, and a spray nozzle is provided on the inner wall of the side rinse pipe 12. When the flipping frame 6 is flipped, the side rinse pipe 12 is located on the side of the oral liquid bottle. When the rinse pipe 11 sprays into the inner cavity of the oral liquid bottle, the side rinse pipe 12 simultaneously sprays into the outer wall of the oral liquid bottle, achieving internal and external cleaning. This internal and external spraying method achieves all-around cleaning, preventing liquid from splashing onto the outer wall of the bottle due to spraying only the inner cavity, which would cause the contaminated liquid at the bottle opening to flow back into the inner cavity after the bottle is flipped and reset.

[0044] To improve the spraying effect on the outside of the bottle, in this embodiment, a disc-shaped shell 24 is fitted onto the spray pipe 11, and a side spray pipe 12 is installed on the disc-shaped shell 24. The part of the spray pipe 11 located inside the disc-shaped shell 24 is provided with a liquid outlet hole, so that the liquid in the spray pipe 11 can enter the disc-shaped shell 24 through the liquid outlet hole and then enter the side spray pipe 12. The upper and lower ends of the disc-shaped shell 24 are rotatably connected to the pads 28 by a rotating ring, and the outer sides of the two pads 28 are locked to the spray pipe 11 by nuts 25.

[0045] Furthermore, fan blades 26 are equidistantly arranged around the inner cavity of the disc-shaped shell 24, and nozzles 27 are provided on the liquid outlet, with the nozzles 27 facing the ends of the fan blades 26.

[0046] With the above-described configuration, the liquid sprayed from the end of the shower pipe 11 is sprayed into the inner cavity of the oral liquid bottle, and at the same time, it is also sprayed onto the fan blade 26 through the nozzle 27. The fan blade 26 is rotated by the water jet from the nozzle 27. When the fan blade 26 rotates, it drives the disc shell 24 to rotate between the pads 28, thereby causing the side shower pipe 12 to rotate 360° around the shower pipe 11 as the axis, achieving comprehensive cleaning of the circumference of the oral liquid bottle.

[0047] Specifically, this embodiment proposes one implementation of the clamping and flipping assembly, including a flipping frame 6 that can be flipped 180°. The side of the flipping frame 6 closest to the conveyor belt 1 is rotatably connected to the base 23 via a main shaft. The flipping frame 6 is fixed to the main shaft, and the base 23 is fixed to the cleaning tank 2. A motor 16 that can drive the main shaft to rotate is provided on one side of the base 23. When the motor 16 operates, it causes the flipping frame 6 to flip 180°, so that the flipping frame 6 is horizontally suspended above the conveyor belt 1 and the cleaning tank 2 respectively.

[0048] Furthermore, the tilting frame 6 has two parallel strip slots 18, and the sides of the two strip slots 18 are provided with clamping elements for holding the oral liquid bottles. When the tilting frame 6 is tilted above the conveyor belt 1, the two strip slots 18 correspond to the first clamping channel 4 and the second clamping channel 5, allowing the oral liquid bottles to enter the first clamping channel 4 and the second clamping channel 5 for easy clamping by the clamping elements.

[0049] In this embodiment, the clamping component includes two positioning clamps 17, two movable clamps 20, multiple positioning blocks, and a first telescopic rod 22. Specifically, the two positioning clamps 17 are located on one side of the strip-shaped slot 18, and the two movable clamps 20 are located on the other side of the strip-shaped slot 18, with the positioning clamps 17 and movable clamps 20 facing each other. The two movable clamps 20 are connected by a connecting rod 21; the multiple positioning blocks are arranged in pairs facing each other on the opposing surfaces of the positioning clamps 17 and movable clamps 20; the first telescopic rod 22 is a cylinder connected to the connecting rod 21, used to drive the movable clamps 20 to move closer to or away from the positioning clamps 17.

[0050] Under normal conditions, the first telescopic rod 22 is extended. In specific implementation, when the oral liquid bottle enters the first clamping channel 4 and the second clamping channel 5, the first telescopic rod 22 retracts, causing the two movable clamps 20 to retract synchronously, so that the oral liquid bottle is clamped between the positioning clamp 17 and the movable clamp 20. After the flipping frame 6 flips 180°, it is suspended above the washing pool 2 and is cleaned by the rising spray assembly. After cleaning, the spray assembly descends, the flipping frame 6 flips 180° in the opposite direction and is suspended above the conveyor belt 1. The first telescopic rod 22 advances, causing the positioning clamp 17 to separate from the movable clamp 20, and the oral liquid bottle falls back onto the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 continues to transport the oral liquid bottle into the drying chamber 3 for drying. After drying, it leaves and enters the next process.

[0051] 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.
