Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a glass cleaning device for recycling glass products. Background Technology
[0002] A search revealed that patent CN208944781U discloses a glass bottle cleaning device. This device uses an electric telescopic rod, which is controlled by a microcontroller. The telescopic rod extends and retracts, causing the mounting plate to move up and down. The microcontroller activates a motor to rotate, which in turn drives a brush. The telescopic rod then descends, and the mounting plate descends to allow the brush to be inserted into the glass bottle for cleaning. During the cleaning process, the water leaking out flows into a groove and can be discharged through a drain pipe inserted at the bottom of the groove.
[0003] When using the aforementioned device to clean the inner walls of recycled glass bottles with a brush, the contact force between the brush and the inner wall of the bottle is set to be moderate to ensure that the cleaning process does not cause damage. However, because stubborn stains at the bottom are more difficult to clean, moderate contact force will result in incomplete cleaning of these areas. Conversely, excessive contact force between the brush and the inner wall of the bottle will scratch or damage the inner wall near the top. Therefore, a glass cleaning device for recycling glass products is needed. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.
[0022] Existing devices use brushes to clean the inner walls of recycled glass bottles, aiming to apply moderate contact force between the brush and the bottle's inner wall to prevent damage during the cleaning process. However, because stubborn stains at the bottom are more difficult to clean, moderate contact force can result in incomplete cleaning of these areas. Conversely, excessive contact force can scratch or damage the inner wall near the top.
[0023] To ensure that the cleaning process does not damage the inner wall of the glass bottle while effectively removing stubborn stains, please refer to... Figures 1-4 This embodiment proposes a glass cleaning device for glass product recycling, which can effectively avoid incomplete cleaning and scratches during the cleaning of the inner wall of glass bottles, thereby improving the cleaning effect and thus improving the recycling quality of glass bottles. Two support plates 2 are set on the base 1, and an mounting plate 3 is set between the two support plates 2. A cleaning mechanism 4 is set on the mounting plate 3. According to the prior art process of CN208944781U, when the glass bottle reaches the position of the cleaning mechanism 4, the microcontroller controls the conveyor belt to stop. Then, the microcontroller controls the electric telescopic rod through an electric telescopic rod relay, which drives the mounting plate 3 to descend, allowing the side brush 41 and bottom brush 42 in the cleaning mechanism 4 to insert into the glass bottle for cleaning. The above structure is known and disclosed prior art, so it is not shown in the figure.
[0024] like Figures 2-4As shown, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a side brush 41 and a bottom brush 42, and a power assembly 43 for driving the side brush 41 and bottom brush 42 to rotate. The power assembly 43 includes a motor 431 arranged sequentially below the mounting plate 3. The output end of the motor 431 is provided with a rotating cylinder 432 and a threaded rod 433 sleeved inside the rotating cylinder 432. The rotating cylinder 432 is provided with a guide assembly 434 that causes the threaded rod 433 to rotate with it and extend and retract directionally along its inner wall. The guide assembly 434 includes a guide block 4341 provided on the outer wall of the top end of the threaded rod 433. A guide groove 4342 is vertically opened on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 432 for the guide block 4341 to slide. The bottom end of the threaded rod 433 extends to the outside of the rotating cylinder 432 and is threadedly connected to an adjusting ring 4343, which is connected to the mounting plate 3. The motor 431 drives the rotating cylinder 432 to rotate in both directions, and drives the rotating cylinder 432 to rotate through its output end. The threaded rod 433 inside the rotating cylinder 432 cooperates with the guide block 4341, which is engaged in the guide groove 4342, ensuring that the threaded rod 433 rotates synchronously during rotation. During this process, the threaded rod 433 is connected to the adjusting ring 4343 via a thread. When the motor 431 rotates forward, the threaded rod 433 moves downward synchronously; when the motor 431 rotates in reverse, the threaded rod 433 moves upward synchronously. This allows the bottom brush 42 to repeatedly scrub the bottom of the glass bottle, and the side brush 41 to repeatedly scrub the inner wall of the recycled glass bottle in a spiral motion. The spiral brush 41 enables repeated scrubbing of the inner wall of the recycled glass bottle in a spiral motion. This spiral scrubbing covers every corner of the inner wall, ensuring a more thorough cleaning. Repeated scrubbing effectively removes dirt, residue, and impurities from the bottle wall. The spiral scrubbing utilizes rotation, which accelerates the cleaning process through continuous friction, making it more efficient than simple linear scrubbing. The spiral motion ensures that every part is fully contacted and scrubbed, reducing blind spots and resulting in a more thorough cleaning. This allows for better reuse and improves the recycling rate of resources. Because the spiral scrubbing method is efficient and comprehensive, the cleaning time is shorter than traditional scrubbing methods, which helps improve the overall recycling and processing efficiency.
[0025] like Figures 3-4As shown, the brushing pressure is moderate, effectively cleaning all parts of the bottle, but it's not thorough enough for stubborn stains near the bottom. Because these stains are more stubborn, greater pressure is needed to remove them completely. If the brush applies too much pressure to the inner wall of the glass bottle, while it may help clean stubborn stains at the bottom, it can easily scratch or damage the inner wall near the top. The top of the glass bottle is usually quite fragile, and excessive pressure may cause scratches or damage. To find a balance in adjusting the contact force to ensure effective cleaning of stubborn stains while avoiding damage to the glass bottle surface, the following features are incorporated: The power assembly 43 is equipped with an adjustment component 44 that, during operation, ensures that the side brush 41 and bottom brush 42 generate optimal cleaning contact force on the inner wall of the glass bottle according to its depth. The adjustment component 44 includes a telescopic rod 441 fitted inside the threaded rod 433 and connected to the bottom brush 42. The inner wall of the threaded rod 433 is provided with a limiting component 442 that restricts the sliding range of the telescopic rod 441. The limiting component 442 includes a slider 4421 disposed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 433, and a groove 4422 is formed on the inner wall of the threaded rod 433 for the slider 4421 to slide. A spring 443 is provided at the top of the telescopic rod 441 and connected to the inner top wall of the threaded rod 433. Two force-applying rods 444 are hinged to one side of the side brush 41, respectively hinged to the threaded rod 433 and the telescopic rod 441. As the threaded rod 433 rotates downwards, it slides within the groove 4422 via the slider 4421, causing the telescopic rod 441 and the bottom brush 42 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the movement of the slider 4421 within the groove 4422 compresses the spring 443 on the inner wall of the threaded rod 433, increasing the contact force between the bottom brush 42 and the bottom of the glass bottle, particularly enhancing the cleaning effect on stained areas. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the threaded rod 433 pushes the force-applying rod 444, thereby bringing the side brush 41 closer to the inner wall of the glass bottle, increasing the contact force and improving the cleaning ability for stubborn stains on the inner wall. As the downward movement of the threaded rod 433 increases, the contact force between the side brush 41 and the bottom brush 42 and the inner wall of the glass bottle gradually strengthens, ensuring efficient cleaning. As the threaded rod 433 rotates upwards synchronously, the contact force between the side brush 41 and the bottom brush 42 and the inner wall of the glass bottle is reduced, thereby effectively avoiding unnecessary scratching or damage to the inner wall surface of the glass bottle near the top, optimizing the cleaning process, and protecting the surface of the glass bottle from damage while effectively removing stubborn stains.
[0026] Specifically, the bristle lengths of the side brush 41 and the bottom brush 42 are set in a 3:1 ratio. The longer bristles of the side brush 41 provide greater bending space, and as the degree of bending increases, the contact force also increases, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the bottle wall. The shorter bristles of the bottom brush 42, in conjunction with the counter-tension generated by the spring 443 when squeezed, concentrate the force to efficiently clean stubborn stains on the bottom of the bottle. The two work together to ensure a thorough cleaning of the bottle bottom and inner wall, while optimizing the cleaning process and ensuring a comprehensive and efficient cleaning effect.
[0027] 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.
