Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of baby bottle cleaning tools, specifically relating to a shelf for use on a baby bottle cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to make it easier for people to clean baby bottles, some bottle cleaning machines have appeared on the market. These machines are equipped with racks containing several spray nozzles. During use, the nipples, tubing, and weighted balls are placed separately on the racks, and the water sprayed from the nozzles cleans their interiors. However, because the nipples, tubing, and weighted balls are relatively lightweight, and the water spray from the nozzles has a strong impact, it's easy for these components to be blown over, making them difficult to clean properly. Furthermore, overturned nipples can cause water accumulation. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a shelf for a baby bottle cleaning machine, which aims to solve the problem that existing baby bottle cleaning machines cannot stably place components such as nipples and gravity balls on the shelf, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A shelf for a baby bottle washing machine, comprising:

[0006] The shelving unit has an intermediate pipe; and,

[0007] A plurality of water nozzles are disposed on the shelf body, and each water nozzle is provided with a connecting pipe between it and the intermediate pipe; each water nozzle is provided with a positioning component on its outer side, the positioning component including at least a first positioning part and a second positioning part surrounding the water nozzle, and the diameter of the second positioning part is smaller than that of the first positioning part.

[0008] A further solution: Both the first positioning part and the second positioning part are elastic arc-shaped frames.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution: the curved frame with a certain degree of elasticity makes it convenient to use its expansion or contraction elasticity to lock the large nipple sleeve onto the outside of the first positioning part, the small nipple sleeve onto the outside of the second positioning part, and the gravity ball onto the inside of the second positioning part. This allows the nipple, gravity ball, etc. to be more stably fixed on the shelf through the elastic locking action. At the same time, the curved shape of the locking block not only makes it convenient to put in and take out the nipple, gravity ball, etc., but also avoids damage to them.

[0010] A further solution: the second positioning part is located above the first positioning part.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution: the above setting makes it convenient to attach the small nipple sleeve to the outside of the second positioning part.

[0012] A further embodiment: The shelf body is provided with a first annular frame and a second annular frame surrounding the intermediate pipe, the diameter of the second annular frame being smaller than that of the first annular frame; the plurality of water nozzles include a plurality of first water nozzles surrounding the first annular frame and a plurality of second water nozzles surrounding the second annular frame.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution: the above layout is more reasonable. Since the distance between the first spray nozzle and the middle pipe is different from the distance between the second spray nozzle and the middle pipe, several first spray nozzles and several second spray nozzles form a staggered pattern, which allows for the installation of more spray nozzles and positioning components, resulting in higher space utilization on the shelf and enabling more parts to be cleaned and disinfected at once.

[0014] A further embodiment: both ends of the opening of each of the arc-shaped frames are connected to its corresponding first or second annular frame.

[0015] A further solution: Both the first ring frame and the second ring frame are provided with two upwardly extending connecting parts at the corresponding arc frame positions. The two ends of the opening of each arc frame are integrally formed with the corresponding two connecting parts, and the arc frame with a smaller diameter is located on the upper side of the arc frame with a larger diameter corresponding to it, and the two are coaxially arranged.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: the above arrangement makes it easy to stagger the small-diameter arc frame and the large-diameter arc frame in vertical space, thereby facilitating the placement of large-sized and small-sized nipples; the one-piece molded structure is more robust and stable.

[0017] A further embodiment: each of the arc-shaped frames is located circumferentially outside the first or second annular frame to which it corresponds.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution: the above layout makes more rational use of space and facilitates the setting of each group of positioning components.

[0019] A further proposed solution involves several first water spray nozzles and several second water spray nozzles arranged alternately in the circumferential direction.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution: several first water spray nozzles and several second water spray nozzles are staggered in the circumferential direction, so that the corresponding positioning components can also be staggered in the circumferential direction. When placing the nipple, it can avoid the mutual squeezing and interference of two adjacent nipples, resulting in higher space utilization and a more reasonable layout.

[0021] A further embodiment: The outer side of the shelf body is provided with an outer frame, and each of the spray nozzles is provided with a connecting frame between it and the outer frame of the shelf body. The middle part of each arc-shaped frame is located on the upper side of the corresponding connecting frame and is connected to the connecting frame.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution: by setting up a connecting frame, the structure becomes more stable.

[0023] A further solution: the second positioning part is coaxially arranged with the first positioning part.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: the two are set coaxially, which makes the structural layout more reasonable and compact, and allows the water spray nozzle to be aimed at large nipples, small nipples, and gravity balls, etc., so as to better clean and disinfect them.

[0025] A further embodiment: the outer diameter of the water nozzle gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution: by setting the outer diameter of the spray nozzle to gradually increase from top to bottom, it is convenient to fit and snap different diameter hoses onto the outside of the spray nozzle from top to bottom. This not only fixes the hoses but also allows them to accommodate baby bottle hoses of more diameters.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] This invention features a first positioning part and a second positioning part with a smaller diameter surrounding the outer side of each spray nozzle. In practical use, large nipples can be fitted and secured to the outside of the first positioning part, and small nipples to the outside of the second positioning part. For hoses with gravity balls, the hose can be directly attached to the spray nozzle, or the gravity ball can be placed inside the first positioning part. This allows the shelf to not only position and hold nipples and bottle caps of different sizes, but also hoses, gravity balls, and other bottle components, thus broadening its applicability. Because the first and second positioning parts provide positioning and locking, the water spray from the nozzle prevents the nipples, gravity balls, bottle caps, etc., from being blown over or tilted, allowing the spray nozzle to easily and smoothly clean these components.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a shelf for a baby bottle washing machine, including:

[0036] The shelf body 1 has a central pipe 11 that passes through the shelf body 1, and its lower end is used to connect to the water supply system of the bottle washing machine, and then supplies water to the spray nozzle 13 through a connecting pipe 12; and,

[0037] A plurality of spray nozzles 13 are disposed on the shelf body 1, and each spray nozzle 13 is connected to the intermediate pipe 11 by a connecting pipe 12. Each spray nozzle 13 has a positioning component on its outer side, the positioning component including at least a first positioning part 3 surrounding the spray nozzle 13 and a second positioning part 4 surrounding the spray nozzle 13, wherein the diameter of the second positioning part 4 is smaller than that of the first positioning part 3. Depending on specific requirements, the positioning component may also include a third positioning part, wherein the diameter of the third positioning part is smaller than that of the second positioning part.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are used to position the nipple 5, the gravity ball 7, etc., to prevent them from being washed away by the water sprayed from the nozzle 13. Specifically, both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are elastic arc-shaped frames, preferably semi-circular. The elastic arc-shaped frame facilitates the use of its elastic deformation during expansion or contraction to secure the large nipple 5 to the outside of the first positioning part 3, the small nipple 5 to the outside of the second positioning part 4, and the gravity ball 7 to the inside of the second positioning part 4. This ensures that these components are stably positioned on the shelf, preventing them from being washed away or blown over by the water sprayed from the nozzle 13.

[0039] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the placement of the small nipple 5, the second positioning part 4 is located above the first positioning part 3. This ensures that the first positioning part 3 does not restrict the outer circumferential diameter of the small nipple 5.

[0040] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the spray nozzle 13 can spray water directly onto the center of the nipple 5 and the gravity ball 7 for better cleaning and disinfection, the second positioning part 4 is coaxially arranged with the first positioning part 3. That is, the spray nozzle 13 is located at the center of both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4. Preferably, the second positioning part 4 is located above the first positioning part 3 and the two are coaxially arranged.

[0041] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to ensure that hoses 6 of different diameters can be more stably fitted onto the outside of the spray nozzle 13, the outer diameter of the spray nozzle 13 is designed to gradually increase from top to bottom. In actual use, by utilizing the slight elasticity of the hose 6, the hose 6 is gradually fitted and secured onto the outside of the spray nozzle 13 from top to bottom, forming a relatively fixed connection with the spray nozzle 13. The water sprayed from the spray nozzle 13 flows directly out through the hose 6, thereby cleaning the inside of the hose 6.

[0042] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to accommodate more water nozzles 13 and avoid interference between adjacent positioning components, this embodiment provides a first annular frame 14 and a second annular frame 15 surrounding the intermediate pipe 11 on the shelf body 1. The diameter of the second annular frame 15 is smaller than that of the first annular frame 14. The plurality of water nozzles 13 includes a plurality of first water nozzles surrounding the first annular frame 14 and a plurality of second water nozzles surrounding the second annular frame 15. Specifically, one layout is that the shelf body 1 is square, and four second water nozzles are arranged around the second annular frame 15, each second water nozzle located inside the center of one side of the corresponding shelf body 1. Four first water nozzles are arranged around the first annular frame 14, each first water nozzle located inside one corner of the corresponding shelf body 1. Since the distance between the first water nozzle and the middle pipe 11 is different from the distance between the second water nozzle and the middle pipe 11, several first water nozzles and several second water nozzles form a staggered pattern, which in turn makes the positioning components staggered. Even if all the large nipples 5 are placed on the outside of the first positioning part 3 on the shelf, the two adjacent large nipples 5 will not squeeze each other, and the space utilization rate on the shelf is also higher.

[0043] In this configuration, both ends of the opening of each arc-shaped frame are connected to its corresponding first annular frame 14 or second annular frame 15. Specifically, both the first annular frame 14 and the second annular frame 15 have two upwardly extending connecting portions 16 at their corresponding arc-shaped frame positions. The bottoms of the two connecting portions 16 are integrally formed with their corresponding first annular frame 14 or second annular frame 15. Both ends of the opening of each arc-shaped frame are integrally formed with their corresponding two connecting portions 16. Furthermore, the arc-shaped frame with a smaller diameter is located above its corresponding arc-shaped frame with a larger diameter, and the two are coaxially aligned. This allows the arc-shaped frames with smaller and larger diameters to be staggered vertically and horizontally, facilitating the placement of small-sized nipples 5.

[0044] To further improve space utilization, each of the arc-shaped frames is located circumferentially outside the corresponding first annular frame 14 or second annular frame 15. Specifically, the opening of each arc-shaped frame faces the central pipe 11.

[0045] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, several first water spray nozzles and several second water spray nozzles are staggered in the circumferential direction. Specifically, there are four first water spray nozzles and four second water spray nozzles. The angle between a first water spray nozzle and its adjacent second water spray nozzle is 45 degrees (the center of the circle is the center of the shelf body 1). This arrangement allows the corresponding positioning components to be staggered in the circumferential direction, thereby further improving the space utilization rate.

[0046] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to further enhance the positioning function of the positioning components, an outer frame 2 is provided on the outer side of the shelf body 1. A connecting frame 17 is provided between each water nozzle 13 and the outer frame 2 of the shelf body 1. The middle part of each arc-shaped frame is located above and connected to the corresponding connecting frame 17. Specifically, an upwardly extending protrusion 171 is provided on the upper side of the connecting frame 17, and each arc-shaped frame is integrally formed with the protrusion 171. For the same set of positioning components, the upper arc-shaped frame and the lower arc-shaped frame form two clearance holes between the opposite sides of the protrusion 171, thereby facilitating water flow.

[0047] Working principle explanation:

[0048] In practical use, since both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are elastic arc-shaped frames, the large nipple 5 can be fitted and secured to the outside of the first positioning part 3, and the small nipple 5 can be fitted and secured to the outside of the second positioning part 4. For the hose 6 with the gravity ball 7, the hose 6 can be directly fitted onto the spray nozzle 13, or the gravity ball 7 can be secured to the inside of the first positioning part 3. Because the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 can provide positioning and securing, it can prevent the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 13 from blowing over or tilting the nipple 5, gravity ball 7, and milk cap.

[0049] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
