Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wine bottle cleaning equipment, specifically to a scrubbing device for cleaning wine bottle bodies. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of alcoholic beverages, the cleanliness of the bottle's outer surface affects the product's appearance quality and hygiene standards. This is especially true in the production of bottles for high-end alcoholic beverages, where the outer surface of the bottle is often customized with uneven patterns and printed designs. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the outer surface of the bottle after it has been formed.

[0003] Currently, cleaning wine bottles mainly relies on spray cleaning devices or manual wiping. Spray cleaning devices primarily use high-pressure water jets to rinse the bottle's outer wall, offering high cleaning efficiency, but their effectiveness against stubborn stains is limited, and they consume a large amount of water. Manual wiping, while effective against stubborn stains, is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to incomplete cleaning or scratches due to improper operation. Furthermore, some wine bottles have recessed bottoms, making cleaning them difficult. Existing bottle cleaning devices typically use fixed brushes or static spray structures, limiting their brushing force and coverage, making them unsuitable for cleaning different bottle shapes (such as embossed bottles). While some rotating brush devices improve efficiency, their simple brush structure cannot effectively clean the uneven areas of the bottle's outer surface (such as the recessed bottom), resulting in stain residue. Therefore, a bottle cleaning device capable of efficiently cleaning different bottle shapes is necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a washing device for cleaning wine bottles, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology does not thoroughly clean wine bottles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a washing device for cleaning wine bottles, comprising a frame, a conveying mechanism, and a washing mechanism. The conveying mechanism and the washing mechanism are both connected to the frame, and the conveying mechanism passes through the interior of the washing mechanism. The washing mechanism includes a washing chamber and multiple washing components spaced apart within the washing chamber. Each washing component includes symmetrically arranged washing brushes. The washing brushes are all inverted L-shaped and include mutually perpendicular long and short limbs. Both the long and short limbs are provided with several bristles. The long limbs rotate on their own axis, and the short limbs rotate horizontally about the central axis of the long limbs.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the long limbs of the cleaning brushes distributed on both sides rotate and rinse the body of the bottle in sequence, while the short limbs on both sides rotate and rinse the bottom of the bottle in sequence on the same horizontal plane. Multiple cleaning components sequentially and thoroughly clean the outer surface of the bottle.

[0007] In addition, since the short limbs rotate horizontally around the central axis of the long limbs, the contact process between the short limbs and the bottom of the bottle is as follows: the short limbs drive the bristles to move in a fan shape from one end of the bottle bottom to the other end. Compared with the straight-line brushing, this increases the contact time between the bristles and the bottom of the bottle, thereby improving the brushing intensity and effect on the bottle surface. This allows for the maximum removal of impurities in the bottom depression along with the cleaning water while brushing the bottom of the bottle, further improving the brushing effect of the brushing mechanism on the outer surface of the bottle.

[0008] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a chain and a number of support seats connected to the chain at intervals. Each support seat includes a fixed part and a tapered part. The fixed part is fixed to the top of the chain, and the tapered part is detachably connected to the fixed part.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the conical portion is provided with a cylindrical positioning part, the diameter of which is the same as the diameter of the top surface of the conical portion.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the washing chamber has several nozzles, each nozzle is connected to a water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe is equipped with a valve; the long limbs are rotatably connected to the bottom of the washing chamber, and the bottom of the long limbs is connected to a drive unit.

[0011] Preferably, a waste liquid collection tank is connected to the bottom of the washing chamber via a recovery pipe.

[0012] Preferably, multiple sliders are fixed at intervals at the bottom of the chain, and the frame is provided with a slide groove, in which the sliders are slidably connected.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the fixing part is provided with a connecting post, and the bottom of the tapered part is provided with a connecting groove, so that the connecting post can be inserted into the connecting groove.

[0014] Preferably, both the long and short limbs are provided with a number of bristles, and the bristles are perpendicular to each other with respect to the long limbs and the short limbs.

[0015] Preferably, both the long and short limbs are provided with a number of bristles, the bristles on both the short and long limbs are inclined, and the angle between the bristles and the support is greater than the angle between the bristles and the cleaning brush.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this solution are: 1. To further prevent the tips of the brush bristles from damaging the outer surface of the wine bottle during the washing process;

[0017] 2. The bristles on the short-limb brush are all tilted, which increases the contact area between the bristles and the bottle when washing bottles with dents at the bottom. This allows for more timely removal of water from the dents and further cleaning of the stains, thus improving the cleaning intensity of the bottles. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: frame 1, chain 2, support base 20, fixing part 21, conical part 22, positioning part 221, washing chamber 3, cleaning brush 31, long limb part 311, short limb part 312, and bristles 313.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Example 1 is basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1-3 As shown, Figure 1 The washing device shown includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism, and a washing mechanism. The conveying mechanism is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to invert and fix the wine bottle to be washed before conveying it into the washing mechanism. The washing mechanism is also connected to the frame 1 and is used to complete the rinsing and cleaning of the wine bottle.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the washing mechanism includes a washing chamber 3 and multiple cleaning components spaced apart inside the washing chamber 3. The sides of the washing chamber 3 are made of transparent glass to allow for easy observation of the interior. Each cleaning component includes two symmetrically arranged cleaning brushes 31 with gaps between them, meaning the brushes do not contact each other. Each cleaning brush 31 is inverted L-shaped and includes a long limb 311 and a short limb 312 that are perpendicularly fixed to each other. In this embodiment, the long limb 311 and short limb 312 are integrally formed. Several bristles 313 are adhered to both the long limb 311 and short limb 312. In this embodiment, the bristles 313 are perpendicular to the long limb 311 and to the short limb 312. The bristles 313 are all made of flexible nylon to ensure thorough washing of the bottle while preventing scratches. Several nozzles are evenly distributed on the top of the washing chamber 3. Each nozzle is connected to a water inlet pipe, and a valve is installed on the water inlet pipe. When the valve is opened, all nozzles spray water downwards to rinse the outer surface of the wine bottles in the washing chamber 3. At the same time, the long limbs 311 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the washing chamber 3 through bearings, and each long limb 311 is connected to a motor. The motors are fixed on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially welded to the bottom of the long limb 311. When the motor is started, it drives the entire cleaning brush 31 to rotate through the long limbs 311, thereby rinsing the bottles entering the washing chamber 3 with the help of the nozzles, achieving the purpose of washing.

[0027] By adding horizontally arranged short limbs 312, the cleaning brush's scrubbing range extends to above the bottom of the inverted bottle. This allows the long limbs 311 to scrub the bottle body while the short limbs 312 scrub the bottom, resulting in a more comprehensive and thorough cleaning. Furthermore, since the short limbs 312 rotate horizontally around the central axis of the long limbs 311, the contact process between the short limbs 312 and the bottle bottom involves the short limbs driving the bristles 313 to move in a fan-shaped motion from one end of the bottom to the other. Compared to a straight-line scrubbing motion, this increases the contact time between the bristles 313 and the bottle bottom, thereby improving the scrubbing intensity and effectiveness of the bristles 313 on the bottle surface. This maximizes the removal of impurities and cleaning water from the bottle bottom's recesses while simultaneously scrubbing the bottom, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the scrubbing mechanism on the bottle's outer surface. In addition, a waste liquid collection tank (not shown in the figure) is connected to the bottom of the washing chamber 3 via a recycling pipe. The cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle rinses the bottle and then enters the waste liquid collection tank through the recycling pipe for treatment to avoid polluting the working environment. The long limb 311 is a telescopic rod, and the bristles can enter the gap of the telescopic rod when the long limb 311 is shortened, and can also unfold when the long limb 311 is extended to adapt to the washing of wine bottles of different heights. The waste liquid collection tank and the telescopic rod with bristles are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a chain 2 and several support seats 20 spaced apart on the chain 2. Both ends of the chain 2 are connected to drive sprockets, and each drive sprocket is connected to a power motor to provide power for the conveying of the chain 2. The chain 2 is movably connected to the frame 1. Specifically, the chain 2 is a roller chain, and multiple cylindrical sliders are welded and fixed at intervals to the bottom of the chain 2. Each slider is parallel to a pin on the roller chain. A groove is then formed on the frame 1, and the sliders are slidably connected in the groove. Furthermore, to further improve the stability of the chain 2, in this embodiment, a circular support plate is coaxially arranged below each sprocket. The support plates are rotatably connected to both ends of the frame, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the upper surface of the support plate, communicating with the groove.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, each support base 20 includes a fixing part 21 and a conical part 22. The fixing parts 21 are vertically welded to the top of the chain 2, and are parallel to the pins in the chain 2. The conical part 22 is detachably connected to the fixing part 21. The detachable connection is achieved by fixing a connecting post to the top of the fixing part 21 and opening a connecting groove at the bottom of the conical part 22. The connecting post is inserted into the connecting groove to achieve an interference fit between the fixing part 21 and the conical part 22. By replacing the conical part 22 with different models and sizes, support and fixation for different models of wine bottles can be achieved. The conical part 22 is made of soft material. In this embodiment, the material of the conical part 22 is rubber. The soft conical part 22 gradually increases in cross-section from top to bottom. When the wine bottle is inverted, the conical part 22 can enter the bottle mouth of different sizes of wine bottles. That is, installing the same model of conical part 22 can adapt to multiple sizes of bottle mouths, thereby further improving the adaptability of this washing device. In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a cylindrical positioning part 221 is also fixedly connected to the top of the conical part 22. The diameter of the positioning part 221 is the same as the diameter of the top surface of the conical part 22. The positioning part 221 facilitates the bottle body to be inverted on the support base 20.

[0030] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the operation begins, all the nozzles in the washing chamber 3 spray water downwards and all the cleaning brushes 31 begin to rotate; at the same time, the conveyor mechanism starts, the chain 2 begins to move, and the support base 20 enters the washing chamber 3 in sequence.

[0031] The operator places the bottles upside down onto the conical part 22 one by one. The top cross-section of the conical part 22 is small, and with the positioning part 221, the bottle mouth can be accurately aligned with the support base 20 for inversion. After inversion, under the weight of the bottle itself, the conical part 22 is inserted into the bottle mouth to fix the bottle (if the bottle is light, the operator can manually press down on the bottle to ensure the stability of the connection between the bottle and the support base 20 after inversion). The fixed bottles enter the cleaning chamber one by one with the support base 20.

[0032] Inside the cleaning chamber, the long limbs 311 of the cleaning brushes 31 distributed on both sides of the chain 2 rotate and wash the body of the bottle in sequence, while the short limbs 312 on both sides rotate and wash the bottom of the bottle in sequence on the same horizontal plane. Multiple cleaning components sequentially and thoroughly wash the outer surface of the bottle.

[0033] After being washed, the wine bottles continue to be driven by chain 2, and then enter the next production stage from the washing chamber 3.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figure 4 The washing device shown for cleaning wine bottles differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0036] The bristles 313 on both the short-limb portion 312 and the long-limb portion 311 are angled, and the angle between the bristles 313 and the support base 20 is greater than the angle between the bristles 313 and the cleaning brush 31. This further prevents the tips of the bristles 313 from damaging the outer surface of the bottle during the washing process. At the same time, the angled bristles 313 on the short-limb portion 312 increase the contact area between the bristles 313 and the bottle body when washing bottles with concave bottoms, allowing for more timely removal of water from the concave areas and thus cleaning of stains, further enhancing the cleaning intensity of the bottle.
