[0023] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a wine bottle cleaning machine, which is applied to the cleaning and treatment of wine bottles.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A wine bottle cleaning machine includes a frame 1, a cleaning tank 2 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a turntable 3 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and multiple sets of inner wall cleaning components evenly distributed around the edge of the turntable 3. A driver 4 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to provide power for the rotation of the turntable 3. The inner wall cleaning components include a lifting rod 5 fixedly mounted on the turntable 3, a clamp rotatably mounted on the lifting rod 5, and brushes 6 evenly distributed on the outer wall of the lifting rod 5. The clamp is used to fix and hold the bottle neck. A ring brush 7 is installed in the cleaning tank 2 to fit and closely contact the outer wall of the bottle. Further, the driver... 4 includes a geared motor and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the geared motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The top of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 3. The middle of the cleaning tank 2 is provided with an opening that allows the rotating shaft to pass through. The central axis of the ring brush 7 coincides with the central axis of the turntable 3. The ring brush 7 is preferably a sponge brush, but a fiber brush with a certain support strength can also be used. The bristle brush 6 is preferably a soft fiber brush or other bristle brush 6 with a malleable effect. The shape formed by the bristles 6 on the outer wall of the lifting rod 5 fits the inner wall of the wine bottle. The friction force of the ring brush 7 on the outer wall of the wine bottle is greater than the friction force of the bristle brush 6 on the inner wall of the wine bottle.

[0028] For details, please refer to Figure 4 or Figure 5 The clamp includes a ring seat 15, multiple clamping arms 16, and multiple springs 17. The clamping arms 16 are hinged to the outer wall of the ring seat 15. Rollers 18 are rotatably mounted on the clamping ends of the clamping arms 16. One end of each spring 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping arm 16 away from the roller 18, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the ring seat 15. Furthermore, the rollers 18 guide the bottle mouth into the space between the clamping arms 16. The central axis of the rollers 18 is perpendicular to the central axis of the ring seat 15. The outer wall of the rollers 18 is provided with a rubber anti-slip layer to increase the friction between the rollers 18 and the bottle mouth, preventing relative sliding between the bottle and the clamping arms 16. In the naturally extended state of the springs 17, the rollers 18 on each clamping arm 16 converge towards the center of the ring seat 15. The ring seat 15 is rotatably connected to a lifting rod 5 via a bearing. The lifting rod 5 is interference-fitted into the bearing, and the bearing is interference-fitted into the ring seat 15.

[0029] The bottle cleaning machine provided in this embodiment allows the operator or an external robotic arm to adjust the central axis of the bottle to coincide with the central axis of the lifting rod 5, pushing the bottle closer to the clamp. The bottle mouth contacts each roller 18, and the clamping arm 16 rotates around the hinge point. Each roller 18 moves away from the center of the ring seat 15. When the bottle is inserted between each roller 18, under the action of the spring 17, each clamping arm 16 clamps the bottle mouth through the roller 18, thus achieving automatic clamping of the bottle. This clamp facilitates the clamping of the bottle and the loading and unloading of the bottle; moreover, it can clean multiple bottles at a time, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the bottle.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] For details regarding the bottle washing machine provided in Example 1, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 3-5 It also includes an inlet pipe 8 and multiple connecting pipes 9. The center of the turntable 3 is provided with a water distribution chamber 10, and the inside of the lifting rod 5 is provided with a hollow channel 11. The output end of the inlet pipe 8 extends into the water distribution chamber 10 and is rotatably and sealed to the turntable 3. One end of the multiple connecting pipes 9 extends into the water distribution chamber 10, and the other end of the multiple connecting pipes 9 is respectively connected to the hollow channels 11 on the multiple lifting rods 5. The outer wall of the lifting rod 5 is provided with multiple spray holes 12 that are connected to the hollow channels 11. Furthermore, the central axis of the inlet pipe 8 coincides with the central axis of the turntable 3, and the inlet pipe 8 is rotatably and sealed to the turntable 3 through a mechanical shaft seal or packing seal. The spray holes 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially and axially along the outer wall of the lifting rod 5. The input end of the inlet pipe 8 is connected to the output end of an external pressure pump or to an external pressurized water source.

[0032] Specifically, it also includes multiple water spray pipes 13 installed on the turntable 3. The water spray pipes 13 are located above the corresponding lifting rods 5. The input ends of the multiple water spray pipes 13 are all connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 9. The output ends of the water spray pipes 13 are equipped with multiple nozzles 14 facing the lifting rods 5. Furthermore, the water spray pipes 13 are made of metal or plastic pipes with a certain structural strength. There is a gap between the water spray pipes 13 and the lifting rods 5 that allows the wine bottles to pass through.

[0033] Specifically, the end of the lifting rod 5 near the turntable 3 is lower than the end away from the turntable 3, and the water spray pipe 13 is arranged parallel to the corresponding lifting rod 5.

[0034] Specifically, the outer diameter of the lifting rod 5 should be at least 0.5 cm smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle mouth to be cleaned.

[0035] Specifically, a gap is left between the outer wall of the washing pool 2 and the end of the lifting rod 5 away from the turntable 3 to allow the wine bottle to pass through.

[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is provided with a drain pipe 19 that communicates with the inside of the cleaning tank 2.

[0037] The bottle cleaning machine provided in this embodiment can inject pressurized water into the water distribution chamber 10 through the water inlet pipe 8 via an external pressure pump. The pressurized water is then guided through the connecting pipes 9 to the hollow channels 11 and spray pipes 13 within each lifting rod 5. Water in the hollow channels 11 is sprayed out through the spray holes 12 to rinse the inner wall of the bottle, while water in the spray pipes 13 is sprayed out through the nozzles 14 to rinse the outer wall of the bottle. This simultaneous brushing and cleaning of the inner and outer walls of the bottle further improves the cleaning effect and reduces the amount of dirt residue on the inner and outer walls. The height adjustment of the lifting rods 5 allows the bottle to be cleaned more effectively. The bottle's spout is lower than the bottle's bottom, facilitating the drainage of cleaning water and reducing its residue. This ensures proper drying for the next step. The outer diameter of the lifting rod 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle's spout, ensuring smooth drainage of the cleaning water and preventing excessive retention, further reducing dirt residue. The distance between the cleaning tank 2 wall and the lifting rod 5 must allow the bottle to pass through, preventing interference with loading and unloading. The drain pipe 19 allows wastewater from the cleaning tank 2 to drain, preventing excessive water levels.

[0038] The bottle cleaning machine provided by this utility model is used as follows: The lifting rod 5 is inserted into the bottle through the bottle mouth, the brush 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the bottle, and the outer wall of the bottle is in contact with the ring brush 7 in the cleaning tank 2. The clamp secures the bottle mouth, the driver 4 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, and the turntable 3 drives the lifting rod 5 and the bottle on the lifting rod 5 to rotate. Under the friction of the ring brush 7, the bottle rotates around the lifting rod 5. During the rotation, the ring brush 7 brushes the outer wall of the bottle, while the brush 6 brushes the inner wall of the bottle. At the same time, the cleaning water is pumped into the water distribution chamber 10 through the water inlet pipe 8 by the external pressure pump. Part of the cleaning water is sprayed onto the inner wall of the bottle through the connecting pipe 9, the hollow channel 11 and the spray hole 12, and part of the cleaning water is sprayed onto the outer wall of the bottle through the water spray pipe 13 and the nozzle. Since the bottle is in a rotating state, the bottle is thoroughly cleaned and brushed inside and out.
