Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sterilization device technology, specifically a sterilization device for bottled water. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern drinking water supply system, bottled water has become one of the mainstream choices for homes, offices and public places due to its convenience and economy. As the core carrier of bottled water, the hygiene and safety of the water barrel is directly related to the water quality and consumer health. Since bottled water barrels need to be recycled, the bottled water industry currently uses sterilization equipment to sterilize and disinfect the water barrels to ensure the quality and safety of bottled water.
[0003] In a bottled water sterilization and disinfection device disclosed in patent application number 202321717703.7, the water bucket is inverted inside the cylinder, and then a rubber pad moves down to contact the top of the inverted water bucket, driving the water bucket to rotate. At this time, disinfectant is sprayed onto the inner and outer walls of the water bucket through the diversion pipe and multiple nozzles on the inner pipe of the bucket to sterilize the water bucket. However, when the water bucket rotates inside the cylinder, there is no effective limiting device, which causes the water bucket to easily shift to the outside due to the centrifugal force of rotation, resulting in unstable rotation. This may not only cause fluctuations in the distance between the water bucket and the nozzles, affecting the uniformity and coverage of the disinfectant spray, but may also cause liquid splashing due to water bucket shaking, increase the noise of equipment operation, and even cause mechanical damage caused by water bucket colliding with the cylinder, reducing the sterilization efficiency. To address this, we propose a bottled water sterilization device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sterilization device for bottled water barrels to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottled water sterilization device, comprising a cabinet, a cylinder, and two sets of distribution pipes and an inner pipe mounted on the cabinet.

[0006] The cylinder has an installation ring fixed to the inner wall and three sets of movable toothed plates rotatably disposed inside the installation ring. One end of each movable toothed plate is fixedly provided with an arc-shaped plate, and two sets of rotating wheels are rotatably disposed on the arc-shaped plate. Rubber rings are fixedly fitted around the outside of each rotating wheel.
[0007] Preferably, a support ring is rotatably provided inside the mounting ring, an internal toothed ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the support ring, and a gear is rotatably provided on the mounting ring.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the mounting ring is fixedly provided with multiple sets of extension plates, the top of the gear is fixedly provided with a rotating column, the top of the cylinder is fixedly provided with an L-shaped frame, and a drive motor is fixedly provided on the L-shaped frame.
[0009] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly provided at the working end of the drive motor, and the working end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the cylinder is provided with a positioning element, the positioning element including a horizontal tube fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder, a moving rod slidably disposed inside the horizontal tube, and an arc-shaped clamping plate fixedly disposed at the end of the moving rod.
[0011] Preferably, a locking screw is rotatably provided inside the horizontal tube, and the bottom of the locking screw extends to the surface of the moving rod.
[0012] Preferably, a mounting bearing is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube of the barrel, a turntable is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting bearing, and a connecting pipe is installed inside the cabinet.
[0013] Preferably, a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet, an upper plate is fixedly installed on the working end of the hydraulic rod, a motor is fixedly installed on the upper plate, a lower cover is fixedly installed on the working end of the motor, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower cover.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) The present invention uses a limiting mechanism designed to effectively counteract centrifugal force when the water bucket rotates, preventing the water bucket from shifting or shaking outwards, and ensuring that it maintains a stable rotation trajectory inside the barrel. The stable rotation state keeps the distance between the nozzles on the diversion pipe and the inner pipe of the barrel and the water bucket constant, significantly improving the uniformity and coverage of the disinfectant spray, avoiding blind spots or local overspray caused by the shaking of the water bucket, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency and quality. Moreover, the drive motor achieves synchronous centripetal movement of three sets of moving tooth plates through the meshing of gears and internal tooth rings, ensuring that the arc plate is accurately positioned on the water bucket and the force is uniform.
[0016] (2) The present invention can lock the rotating rod during the water barrel rotation sterilization process by designing the positioning component, preventing the drive motor from being accidentally started and causing the limiting mechanism to loosen, thereby further enhancing the stability and safety of the system and avoiding the sterilization process from being affected by mechanical failure. By combining with the limiting mechanism, stable positioning during the water barrel rotation process is achieved, which not only solves the defects in the prior art, but also improves the performance of the bottled water barrel sterilization device from multiple dimensions such as sterilization effect and ease of operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sterilization device for bottled water, including a cabinet 100, a cylinder 107, and two sets of diversion pipes 102 and an inner pipe 105 disposed on the cabinet 100. Multiple sets of nozzles are fixedly disposed on both the diversion pipes 102 and the inner pipe 105. A limiting mechanism is provided on the cylinder 107, the limiting mechanism including:
[0026] The mounting ring 201 is fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder 107, and three sets of movable toothed plates 205 are rotatably set inside the mounting ring 201. An arc-shaped plate 200 is fixedly set at one end of the movable toothed plate 205. Two sets of rotating wheels 210 are rotatably set on the arc-shaped plate 200. A rubber ring 207 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating wheel 210. The rubber ring 207 adopts a flexible contact design. The elastic buffering effect of the rubber ring 207 can reduce the hard compression on the outer wall of the water bucket and avoid the water bucket scratches or collision damage that may be caused by rigid limiting. The rubber ring 207 contacts the inverted outer wall of the water bucket inside the cylinder 107, which plays a buffering role and increases the contact friction between the rubber ring and the water bucket, thereby reducing the damage to the water bucket.
[0027] The mounting ring 201 is rotatably provided with a support ring 208, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the internal gear ring 204. The support ring 208 is fixedly provided with an internal gear ring 204 on its inner wall. A gear 209 is rotatably provided on the mounting ring 201, and the gear 209 meshes with the internal gear ring 204 and the movable gear plate 205.
[0028] Multiple extension plates are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting ring 201, a rotating column 206 is fixedly installed on the top of the gear 209, and the rotating column 206 is rotatably installed inside the extension plate. An L-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 107, and a drive motor 202 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped frame.
[0029] A rotating rod 203 is fixedly installed at the working end of the drive motor 202, and the working end of the rotating rod 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 206.
[0030] In summary, the empty water bucket is placed upside down into the cylinder 107. At this point, the water inlet at the bottom of the bucket passes through the top of the inner tube 105 and contacts the upper surface of the turntable 108, thus properly inverting the bucket. The top of the inner tube 105 then extends from the water inlet at the bottom of the empty bucket into the interior of the bucket. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod 106 is activated, and its working end moves downward, causing the upper plate and the mounting motor 103 fixed on the upper plate to descend. The mounting motor 103 then causes the lower cover 104 and the rubber pad on the lower cover 104 to descend as well. The bottom of the rubber pad then... Touch and press the water bucket firmly (the rubber pad should contact the top of the inverted water bucket), then turn on the drive motor 202. The working end of the drive motor 202 rotates counterclockwise, driving the lower rotating rod 203 and gear 209 to rotate. The gear 209 drives the moving gear plate 205 below the drive motor 202 to move towards the arc plate 200. At the same time, the gear 209 also drives the meshing internal gear ring 204 to rotate clockwise (at this time, the internal gear ring 204 drives the support ring 208 to rotate within the mounting ring 201). At this time, through the internal gear ring 204... The other two sets of gears 209 rotate counterclockwise, causing the two sets of moving toothed plates 205 meshing with them to move closer to the arc-shaped plate 200. At this time, all three sets of moving toothed plates 205 move synchronously closer to the water bucket, causing the arc-shaped plate 200, the rotating wheel 210, and the rubber ring 207 outside the rotating wheel 210 to move as well. Then, the rubber ring 207 contacts and presses against the outer wall of the water bucket. The drive motor 202 then stops, thus limiting the water bucket's movement. Next, the motor 103 is opened, and the motor... The working end of machine 103 rotates, causing the lower cover 104 and the rubber pad on the lower cover 104 to rotate, thereby causing the water bucket and turntable 108 to rotate. Then, multiple nozzles on the diversion pipe 102 and the inner pipe 105 spray disinfectant onto the outer and inner walls of the water bucket, sterilizing both the inner and outer walls of the water bucket. At the same time as sterilization, the water bucket is limited to prevent it from shifting outward due to centrifugal force, which would cause unstable rotation. After sterilization is completed, the sterilization is stopped, and then the water bucket can be removed by operating in the reverse order of the above principle.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Please refer to Example 1. Figures 1-4 The inner wall of the cylinder 107 is provided with a positioning component, which includes a horizontal tube 300 fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder 107. A moving rod 302 is slidably arranged inside the horizontal tube 300. An arc-shaped clamping plate 301 is fixedly arranged at the end of the moving rod 302. The arc-shaped clamping plate 301 can clamp and fix the rotating rod 203. The inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 is in contact with the rotating rod 203.
[0033] The horizontal tube 300 is rotatably equipped with a locking screw 303, which can lock and fix the moving rod 302. The bottom of the locking screw 303 extends to the surface of the moving rod 302.
[0034] In summary, to prevent the drive motor 202 from accidentally starting and causing the gear 209 to rotate during the disinfection process, which could lead to the movement of the moving gear plate 205 and the rubber ring 207 disengaging from the outer wall of the water bucket and affecting the limiting of the rotating wheel 210 on the water bucket, positioning can be achieved. Positioning is performed when the outer wall of the rubber ring 207 on the outside of the rotating wheel 210 contacts and limits the water bucket. This is achieved by loosening the locking screw 303 by rotating it upwards. At this point, the bottom working end of the locking screw 303 disengages from the surface of the moving rod 302. Then, the moving rod 302 is moved closer to the rotating rod 203, causing the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 to move. Then, the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 contacts and presses against the rotating rod 203, positioning the rotating rod 203, thereby positioning the rotating wheel 210, the moving toothed plate 205, the rubber ring 207, and the water bucket, preventing the moving toothed plate 205 from moving due to accidental start of the drive motor 202. When sterilizing and disinfecting the water bucket, the positioning of the rotating rod 203 can be released by operating in the opposite manner.
[0035] In this embodiment, an installation bearing is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 105, and a turntable 108 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the installation bearing. A connecting pipe 101 is installed inside the cabinet 100. The connecting pipe 101 is connected to the external water supply equipment to supply water to each nozzle, and the end of the connecting pipe 101 extends to the outside of the cabinet 100. The bottom of the diversion pipe 102 and the inner tube 105 are fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 101.
[0036] In this embodiment, a hydraulic rod 106 is fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet 100. The driving source of the hydraulic rod 106 is a hydraulic station. An upper plate is fixedly installed on the working end of the hydraulic rod 106. A motor 103 is fixedly installed on the upper plate. Both the motor 103 and the drive motor 202 are controlled by a controller. A lower cover 104 is fixedly installed on the working end of the motor 103. A rubber pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower cover 104.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
