[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy product processing and packaging technology, specifically to a cup cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] It refers to various foods made from cow's milk or sheep's milk and their processed products as the main raw materials, including pasteurized milk, sterilized milk, modified milk, fermented milk and other liquid milk.

[0003] During the production and processing of liquid dairy products, the dairy products need to be filled through the production line to obtain a marketable product. In particular, for dairy products that use disposable cups (hereinafter referred to as cups) as packaging, the disposable cups need to be cleaned during the filling process. The usual practice is that when the cups are conveyed by the screw conveyor, the nozzle sprays airflow to clean the inside of the cups, thereby preventing the accumulation of invisible dust on the inner wall of the cups.

[0004] While the above method can blow out dust, i.e., dust dispersion, the blown dust will fall off under the influence of gravity and then adhere to the surface of other cups. Therefore, a cup cleaning device is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0035] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cup cleaning device includes: a conveyor and a dust blowing component;

[0037] The upper surface of the conveyor is provided with a fixed frame 4, and the top of the fixed frame 4 is provided with a disinfectant nozzle 5 that penetrates through and extends to the bottom therefrom. The top of the disinfectant nozzle 5 is connected to the disinfectant storage tank through a pipe and a delivery pump.

[0038] The conveyor includes a conveyor body 1, and a set of uprights 2 is provided on the upper surface of the conveyor body 1. There are two uprights 2 in a set, and two spiral conveying shafts 3 are provided between the two uprights 2. A fixed frame 4 is provided on the top of the uprights 2, located above the spiral conveying shafts 3.

[0039] Based on the above, the conveyor is an existing device. When the screw conveyor shaft 3 rotates, it can transport disposable cups. During the transport process, the jet nozzle 6 sprays air downwards to blow dust off the disposable cups with their openings facing upwards. After the dust blowing is completed, the disinfectant nozzle 5 sprays disinfectant water to disinfect the disposable cups. Here, hydrogen peroxide is preferred as the disinfectant water.

[0040] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the blowing component includes a jet nozzle 6 that penetrates and extends below the fixed frame 4. A gas collection hood 7 is fitted over the outside of the jet nozzle 6. The jet nozzle 6 includes a cylindrical boss 63 disposed outside the vertical tube 61. The upper surface of the cylindrical boss 63 is provided with an annular hole 68 that communicates with the vertical tube 61. The lower surface of the vertical tube 61 is provided with a jet hole 69.

[0041] The jet nozzle 6 includes two vertical tubes 61, which are interconnected by a horizontal tube 62. The interior of each vertical tube 61 is provided with, from top to bottom, an interconnected threaded hole 64, a connecting hole 65, an air supply chamber 66, and a jet hole 69. The inner diameter of the connecting hole 65 is smaller than that of the threaded hole 64, and the inner diameter of the jet hole 69 is smaller than that of the air supply chamber 66. The two air supply chambers 66 are interconnected by the horizontal tube 62.

[0042] The side wall inside the air supply chamber 66 is provided with an air outlet 67, and the upper surface of the cylindrical boss 63 is provided with an annular hole 68. The annular hole 68 is connected to the air outlet 67, and the air outlet 67 is located above the jet hole 69.

[0043] Based on the above, the jet nozzle 6 serves to eject airflow. When the airflow is input into the interior of the vertical tube 61 through the connecting plug 8, part of the airflow is ejected from the jet hole 69 to clean the inner wall of the disposable cup, while the other part of the airflow flows through the air outlet 67 and is discharged from the annular hole 68.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a gas collecting hood 7 is fitted around the outside of the vertical pipe 61. The gas collecting hood 7 is located below the connecting horizontal pipe 62. The gas collecting hood 7 includes a hollow sleeve 71 fitted around the outside of the vertical pipe 61. A cover body 72 fitted around the bottom of the hollow sleeve 71 is provided, which is fitted around the cylindrical boss 63. An exhaust port 73 connected to the hollow sleeve 71 is provided around the circumference of the hollow sleeve 71.

[0045] Based on the above, the air collection hood 7 is designed to collect air containing dust. When the airflow is ejected from the annular hole 68, an upward annular airflow is formed inside the hollow sleeve 71. According to the Bernoulli effect, the air pressure is low where the airflow velocity is high. Therefore, the air pressure inside the hollow sleeve 71 is lower than the external air pressure. As a result, the air outside the air collection hood 7 is drawn into the hollow sleeve 71 under the action of the air pressure difference and discharged from the exhaust port 73. The airflow can be transported to the outside by installing a hose at the exhaust port 73.

[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a connecting plug 8 is provided inside one of the threaded holes 64, and a sealing plug 9 is provided inside the other threaded hole 64. The connecting plug 8 includes a first threaded tube 83 that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 64. A first hollow hexagonal block 82 and an air inlet pipe 81 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top above the first threaded tube 83. The air inlet pipe 81, the first hollow hexagonal block 82, and the first threaded tube 83 are interconnected.

[0047] The sealing plug 9 includes a second threaded tube 93 that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 64. A second hollow hexagonal block 92 and a sealing tube 91 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top above the second threaded tube 93. The sealing tube 91, the second hollow hexagonal block 92 and the second threaded tube 93 are interconnected. The upper surface of the sealing tube 91 is in a closed state.

[0048] Based on the above, the connection plug 8 and the sealing plug 9 are configured so that one jet nozzle 6 can be connected to the blower's air outlet through the connection plug 8 and the pipe, while the sealing plug 9 keeps the top of the other jet nozzle 6 closed, so that the airflow entering from the connection plug 8 can be delivered to the interior of the two jet nozzles 6 through the connecting horizontal pipe 62.

[0049] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 9As shown, the vertical pipe 61 is provided with an air distribution component 10. The air distribution component 10 includes a limiting plate 101 disposed inside the threaded hole 64. The outer diameter of the limiting plate 101 is larger than the inner diameter of the first threaded pipe 83 and the second threaded pipe 93. The bottom of the limiting plate 101 is provided with a vertical rod 103 extending into the air delivery chamber 66. The upper surface of the limiting plate 101 is provided with a vent hole 102. The bottom of the vertical rod 103 is provided with a diverter plate 104 located at the bottom of the air outlet 67. The upper surface of the diverter plate 104 is provided with a vent hole 105. The vent hole 105 is connected to the jet hole 69.

[0050] Based on the above, the arrangement of the air distribution component 10 has the effect of airflow diversion. The airflow entering the air delivery chamber 66 is blocked by the diversion plate 104, so that part of the airflow can flow into the interior of the jet hole 69 through the vent hole 105. At the same time, another part of the airflow flows into the interior of the air collection hood 7 after passing through the air outlet 67 and the annular hole 68.

[0051] In summary, this device, through the blowing component and the disinfectant nozzle 5, enables the disposable cups to be cleaned by the airflow when they are conveyed by the conveyor. After the cleaning is completed, hydrogen peroxide is sprayed for disinfection, and after disinfection, the cups are air-dried, thus achieving the effect of cleaning the disposable cups.

[0052] The unique structural design of the jet nozzle 6 and the air collection hood 7 allows for the generation of an air pressure difference inside the air collection hood 7 while the airflow is being sprayed out. This achieves the effect of cleaning the airflow while simultaneously treating the dust that is being stirred up, thus preventing the dust from adhering to itself again.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
