Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic bottle production equipment, and specifically to a foreign matter removal device for bottles. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of polyethylene plastic bottles, prolonged use of equipment may cause metal shavings to fall into the bottle, prolonged use of molds may cause scale buildup, and residues may remain inside the bottle during the stamping process. In terms of packaging and transportation, unstable environments can also lead to foreign objects appearing inside the bottle.
[0003] Pharmaceutical companies must strictly adhere to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. The bottling line is a relatively busy production line, and foreign objects (dust, hair, debris) may appear inside the polyethylene plastic bottles during the production process. If these are discovered in time, the polyethylene bottles need to be manually removed to prevent drug contamination. If they are not discovered in time during the production process, it will lead to serious quality problems.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To improve or solve the technical problem of foreign objects potentially contaminating pharmaceuticals inside plastic bottles in existing technologies, this utility model provides a foreign object removal device for bottles.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide rail is welded to the frame.
[0013] Furthermore, two ion nozzles are arranged side by side along the moving direction of the bottle, and the dust suction port is arranged between the two ion nozzles.
[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) The guide rail includes a first metal wire, a second metal wire and a side metal wire, making the guide rail hollow, which makes it easy to observe the movement of the bottle, and uses less material and has a lower cost;

The two sets of side metal wires 123 are respectively arranged on one side of the bottle body. Specifically, the metal wire between the first end plate 111 and the second intermediate support plate 117 forms a downward-curving section. The bottle body rotates 90 degrees from the first end plate 111 to the first intermediate support plate 117, and then rotates 90 degrees again from the first intermediate support plate 117 to the second intermediate support plate 117, rotating the bottle body 180 degrees in total, changing the opening from upward to downward. The metal wire between the second and third intermediate support plates 117 forms a horizontal section, with the bottle opening facing downward from the second to the third intermediate support plate 117. The metal wire between the third intermediate support plate 117 and the second end plate 112 forms an upward-curving section. The bottle body rotates 90 degrees from the third to the fourth intermediate support plate 117, and then rotates 90 degrees again from the fourth intermediate support plate 117 to the second end plate 112, rotating the bottle body 180 degrees in total, changing the opening from downward to upward.
