Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection technology, and in particular to a disinfection device for drinking water barrels. Background Technology

[0002] As people become increasingly health-conscious, they are also paying more attention to drinking water safety. Water barrels, as common drinking containers in homes, offices, and public places, are prone to harboring bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, especially in humid environments or when water barrels have not been cleaned for a long time. These microorganisms may not only affect water quality but may also cause health problems for drinkers, such as gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, ensuring the cleanliness and disinfection of the inside of water barrels has become an important part of ensuring drinking water safety.

[0003] Traditional water barrel cleaning methods mainly rely on manual washing, which requires people to manually disassemble the water barrel and scrub it with detergent. This method not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also, due to operational limitations, it is difficult to ensure that the inside of the water barrel is thoroughly cleaned, especially the dirt and bacteria in hard-to-reach areas such as the bottom and neck. In addition, the traditional manual cleaning and disinfection process is complicated, which undoubtedly increases the maintenance cost of water barrels, and may also affect water quality safety due to insufficient cleaning. Therefore, we propose a water barrel disinfection device to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] A disinfection device for drinking water barrels, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, which serves as the assembly carrier for the equipment. An opening is provided on the upper front side of the housing 1. It also includes: a mounting frame 3, fixedly installed between the inner walls of the upper two sides of the housing 1; at least three retaining rings 4, each fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting frame 3, the retaining rings 4 connecting to the interior of the mounting frame 3, the retaining rings 4 being made of elastic material and capable of locking onto the outer wall of the inverted water bucket opening; nozzles 6, the same number as the retaining rings 4, slidably installed on the top surface of the mounting frame 3, the nozzles 6 being circular and located inside their respective retaining rings 4, the nozzles 6 being smaller than the retaining rings 4; hollow tubes 7, the same number as the retaining rings 4, slidably penetrating the mounting frame 3, the upper ends of the hollow tubes 7 connecting to the nozzles 6 inside their respective retaining rings 4; a connector 8, connected to the lower opening of the hollow tube 7; and a water inlet pipe 9. The system consists of a housing 1 with its inlet connected to an external water source, and an outlet of the inlet pipe 9 connected to a hollow pipe 7 via a connector 8; a solenoid valve 10, located on the connector 8, controls the connection between the inlet pipe 9 and the hollow pipe 7; an ozone generator 14, mounted on the side wall of the housing 1, generates ozone for disinfecting the water tank; a connecting pipe 15, one end of which is connected to the ozone outlet of the ozone generator 14, and the other end of which is connected to the connector 8, with the connection point of the connecting pipe 15 higher than the solenoid valve 10 on the corresponding connector 8; a second solenoid valve 16, located on the connecting pipe 15; and a lifting component, located on the inner wall of the housing 1, which drives the hollow pipe 7 and the nozzle 6 to rise and fall to clean and disinfect different heights inside the water tank, improving the cleaning and disinfection effect.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two door panels 2 are symmetrically hinged at the upper front opening of the housing 1. Sealing gaskets are provided at the contact points between the door panels 2 and the housing 1. The two door panels 2 can symmetrically seal and cover the front opening of the housing 1, improving the sealing performance of the water bottle during cleaning and disinfection inside the housing 1.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a ring-shaped drain block 5 is installed inside the retaining ring 4. The drain block 5 has a drain outlet that runs vertically through the circumference. The hollow tube 7 passes through the drain block 5 and connects to the nozzle 6. The opening of the drinking water barrel to be cleaned and disinfected is embedded between the retaining ring 4 and the drain block 5, and is cleaned inside the drinking water barrel through the nozzle 6. A drain pipe 21 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The drain pipe 21 is used to discharge the waste liquid that flows into the mounting frame 3 after cleaning the water barrel.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide rod 13 is fixedly provided on one side of the upper inner wall of the housing 1. The limiting plate 11 is slidably set on the upper inner wall of the housing 1 through the guide rod 13. A cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper inner wall of the housing 1. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 12 is connected to the limiting plate 11. The limiting plate 11 is driven by the cylinder 12 and, under the guidance of the guide rod 13, the limiting plate 11 is pressed down and limited to the outside of the bottom of the inverted water bottle, thereby improving the stability of the water bottle in the retaining ring 4.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting component includes an electric slide rail 17 and a lifting frame 18. The electric slide rail 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The electric slide rail 17 is connected to each connector 8 through the lifting frame 18. The electric slide rail 17 drives all connectors 8 through the lifting frame 18 to move the corresponding hollow tubes 7 and nozzles 6 up and down, so that the nozzles 6 can be raised and lowered to clean and disinfect the water tank.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, a motor 19 is fixedly installed at the position of each hollow tube 7 on the lifting frame 18. The motor 19 is connected to the corresponding hollow tube 7 through the bevel gear set 20. The motor 19 can drive the hollow tube 7 and the nozzle 6 to rotate through the bevel gear set 20, so that the nozzle 6 can rotate and clean and disinfect inside the water bucket, thereby improving the cleaning and disinfection effect of the water bucket.

[0029] When using this equipment to disinfect water barrels, the user first inverts the water barrel to be cleaned and disinfected, and inserts its opening into the elastic retaining ring 4 inside the mounting frame 3 on the upper part of the housing 1. The retaining ring 4 not only securely fixes the water barrel but also ensures a seal, preventing water or ozone leakage during the cleaning process. Simultaneously, the drain block 5 located inside the retaining ring 4 further enhances the sealing effect, ensuring that water and ozone gas can only enter the water barrel through the nozzle 6. Once the water barrel is correctly positioned, the operator closes the hinged joint at the front opening of the housing 1. Two door panels 2 are then activated, followed by the cylinder 12, which drives the limit plate 11 to slide down along the guide rod 13 and press against the outside of the bottom of the water bucket, further stabilizing the position of the water bucket and ensuring that it remains stationary throughout the operation. The solenoid valve 10 opens, allowing external cleaning water to be supplied through the inlet pipe 9, connector 8, and hollow pipe 7 to the nozzle 6 located inside the retaining ring 4. Simultaneously, the electric slide rail 17 drives all connectors 8 and their connected hollow pipes 7 and nozzles 6 to move up and down via the lifting frame 18, thereby achieving cleaning of the inside of the water bucket. Effective cleaning at the same height is achieved, and the motor 19 drives the hollow tube 7 and the nozzle 6 to rotate through the bevel gear set 20, ensuring that the nozzle 6 can perform a comprehensive rotating cleaning inside the water tank, effectively covering hard-to-reach corners. After the water tank is initially cleaned, the solenoid valve 16 is opened, and the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 14 is introduced into the connector 8 through the connecting pipe 15. After mixing with the cleaning water, it is injected into the water tank through the nozzle 6. Since the connection point of the connecting pipe 15 is higher than the solenoid valve 10, it is ensured that the ozone gas can smoothly enter the system without being affected by water pressure. The strong oxidizing properties of ozone water can quickly and effectively kill the microorganisms remaining inside the water tank, ensuring thorough disinfection. The waste liquid after cleaning or disinfecting the water tank will flow down through the drain block 5. The flowing waste liquid will be collected in the mounting frame 3 and finally discharged through the drain pipe 21 at the bottom of the mounting frame 3 for safe collection and treatment. Finally, after the water tank is cleaned and disinfected, all related components are restored to their initial state, and the operator opens the door panel 2 to take out the cleaned and disinfected water tank.
