Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container drying equipment technology, specifically to an automated continuous drying device for bottles. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in the field of liquid product filling, the bottle, as the main packaging container, needs to undergo a strict cleaning and drying process before filling. This step is crucial for ensuring product quality and extending product shelf life.
[0003] The bottle drying device disclosed in CN212806397U has a fixed soft plug on the bottle base. When the bottle is upside down on the bottle base, the soft plug is embedded in the bottle mouth, so that the bottle is firmly connected to the bottle base and the probability of the bottle slipping off the bottle base during transportation is reduced.
[0004] While the bottle drying device demonstrates innovation and practicality in its overall design, it still has some shortcomings in the inverted drying method, requiring further optimization and improvement. Although the bottle is securely attached to the base with the soft stopper embedded in the bottle opening, this design limits the effective removal of moisture from the bottle's interior. Because the soft stopper blocks the bottle opening, moisture inside the bottle cannot easily escape during drying, resulting in incomplete drying.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an automated continuous bottle drying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated continuous bottle drying device to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0011] Preferably, an isolation cover is installed at the middle position of the top of the workbench, and both ends of the isolation cover are open, with curtains installed at both ends of the isolation cover.
[0012] An isolation cover is installed at the top center of the workbench, and curtains are installed at the openings at both ends of the cover. This effectively isolates the drying area from the external environment, reduces heat loss and external interference, and improves the drying effect and stability.
[0013] Preferably, an observation window is installed on the front of the isolation cover, and a hot air blower is installed on the back of the isolation cover.
[0014] An observation window is installed on the front of the isolation cover to allow operators to monitor the drying process in real time and ensure the normal operation of the equipment; a hot air blower is installed on the back to provide a stable and continuous heat source for the drying process.
[0015] Preferably, an air distribution plate is installed on the top surface inside the isolation cover, and an air guide pipe is installed at the output end of the hot air blower. The output end of the air guide pipe extends into the interior of the isolation cover and is connected to the input end of the air distribution plate.
[0016] An air distribution plate is installed on the top surface inside the isolation hood and connected to a hot air blower through an air duct, which achieves uniform distribution of hot air, ensuring that each bottle can be fully dried and improving the drying quality and uniformity.
[0017] Preferably, a drain outlet is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the water collection tank, and a water collection bucket is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the workbench, with the water collection bucket connected to the drain outlet.
[0018] A drain outlet is provided at the bottom center of the water collection tank and connected to the water collection hopper at the bottom of the workbench. This effectively collects and drains the water that is released when the bottle is inverted, keeping the workbench dry and clean.
[0019] Preferably, the bottom surface of the water collection trough is designed with slopes on both sides, and the drain outlet is located at the lowest point of the two slopes.
[0020] The bottom surface of the water collection tank is designed with slopes on both sides, and the drain outlet is located at the lowest point of the two slopes. This ensures that water can be quickly collected and discharged, avoiding the accumulation and retention of water inside the workbench.
[0021] Preferably, cooling fans are installed on both sides of the top of the workbench, and the cooling fans are located near the output end of the conveyor.
[0022] Cooling fans are installed on both sides of the top of the workbench and placed near the output end of the conveyor to quickly cool the dried bottles, facilitating subsequent unloading operations.
[0023] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0024] 1. The loading seat adopts a funnel-shaped design, which not only stably supports the bottle, but also ensures that the bottom opening of the bottle remains unobstructed.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] This utility model provides, for example Figs. 1-6 The illustrated automated continuous bottle drying device includes a workbench 1 with a water collection trough 2 on the top of the workbench 1. A conveying mechanism 3 is installed at the top opening of the water collection trough 2. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 4, two conveyors 5, and multiple loading components 6. The two conveyors 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the top opening of the water collection trough 2. The drive motor 4 is installed on the back of the workbench 1. The two conveyors 5 are driven synchronously by the drive motor 4. The multiple loading components 6 are evenly distributed between the two conveyors 5. The loading components 6 include a gantry support 7. The bottom ends of the gantry support 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two conveyors 5. A loading seat 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the gantry support 7. The loading seat 8 is funnel-shaped and has a hollowed-out groove 9 on its surface.
[0036] In one aspect of this embodiment, each gantry support 7 has three loading seats 8 on its top, arranged in a linear array. An isolation cover 10 is installed at the center of the top of the workbench 1. The isolation cover 10 has open ends, and curtains 11 are installed at both ends of the openings. An observation window 12 is installed on the front of the isolation cover 10, and a hot air blower 13 is installed on the back of the isolation cover 10. An air distribution plate 14 is installed on the inner top surface of the isolation cover 10, and an air guide is installed at the output end of the hot air blower 13. The output end of the air duct 15 extends into the isolation cover 10 and connects to the input end of the air distribution plate 14. A drain outlet 16 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the water collection tank 2. A water collection bucket 17 is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the workbench 1. The water collection bucket 17 is connected to the drain outlet 16. Both sides of the bottom surface of the water collection tank 2 are designed as slopes. The drain outlet 16 is opened at the lowest point of the two slopes. Cooling fans 18 are installed on both sides of the top of the workbench 1. The cooling fans 18 are set close to the output end of the conveyor 5.
[0037] Working principle of this utility model:
[0038] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figs. 1-6When using this utility model, firstly, starting from the input end of the conveyor 5, the bottle to be dried is inverted and inserted into the loading seat 8. Since the loading seat 8 is designed in the shape of a funnel, the bottle can be stably lifted, and its bottom opening remains unobstructed. When the bottle is inverted, the water discharged falls into the water collection tank 2 through the bottom opening, and then collects along the slope to the drain outlet 16, and is discharged through the water collection bucket 17.
[0039] Then, the drive motor 4 is started, driving the two conveyors 5 to operate synchronously. The conveyors 5 will slowly carry the loading assembly 6 and the bottles on it into the isolation cover 10. At the same time, the hot air blower 13 is started. Hot air is injected into the air distribution plate 14 through the air guide pipe 15, and then evenly distributed into the isolation cover 10, blowing onto each bottle. Since the loading seat 8 does not block the opening at the bottom of the bottle, the moisture inside the bottle can be smoothly dissipated, thereby improving the drying effect. At the same time, the setting of the hollow groove 9 allows the hot air to have more contact with the surface of the bottle, further improving the drying efficiency. The entire drying process can be observed through the observation window 12 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0040] After drying, the bottles are conveyed through the isolation cover 10 by the conveyor 5 and move toward the output end of the conveyor 5. During this process, the cooling fan 18 is started to blow on the bottles to accelerate the cooling of the bottles. When the bottles reach the output end of the conveyor 5, the conveyor 5 is stopped and the unloading operation is carried out.
