[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a baby bottle cleaning device 100, which is applied to a baby bottle washing machine 10. The baby bottle washing machine 10 includes a baby bottle rack 200, on which a baby bottle placement area 210 and an upwardly extending nipple support rod 220 are provided. The baby bottle cleaning device 100 includes a fixed nozzle 120 facing the baby bottle placement area 210, and an upper spray arm 110 disposed between the baby bottle placement area 210 and the nipple support rod 220. The upper spray arm 110 is provided with a first upper nozzle 111 facing the nipple 21 placed on the nipple support rod 220.
[0044] When cleaning a baby bottle washing machine 10, the baby bottle 20 and nipple 21 are disassembled beforehand. The baby bottle 20 is placed upside down on the baby bottle placement area 210, and the nipple 21 is placed on the nipple support rod 220. Water is sprayed directly from the fixed nozzle 120 to clean the inside of the baby bottle 20, and water is sprayed from the upper spray arm 110 to clean the outside of the nipple 21 and the baby bottle 20. This allows the nipple support rod 220 to suspend the nipple 21 in a relatively high space, avoiding overcrowding caused by placing the baby bottle 20 and nipple 21 entirely on the upper surface of the bottle rack 200, which would hinder water spraying and flow, thus saving space. Understandably, the baby bottle cleaning device 100 can also be used to clean various types of utensils or items with many parts, such as children's tableware and cups.
[0045] In some possible implementations, the nipple support 220 is provided with a support section 221, an extension section 222, and a placement section 223 from bottom to top. The extension section 222 is inclined inward, and the placement section 223 is inclined outward. The inward inclination of the extension section 222 brings the nipple 21 closer to the upper spray arm 110, resulting in a better cleaning effect and further saving space. The outward inclination of the placement section 223 ensures that the opening of the nipple 21 placed on it corresponds to the first upper nozzle 111, allowing more water to enter the nipple 21 for cleaning and improving the cleaning effect.
[0046] In some possible implementations, the surface of the nipple support rod 220 is provided with guide columns 226 along the extension direction, so that when water is sprayed onto the nipple support rod 220, it can be guided along the guide columns 226 to the inside of the nipple 21. It is understood that, in order to improve the guiding effect, there can be multiple guide columns 226 distributed on the surface of the nipple support rod 220. The cross-section of the multiple guide columns 226 is a cross-shaped structure. The guide columns 226 can extend to the top of the nipple support rod 220 for guiding, and can also extend to the bottom of the nipple support rod, so that the sewage from cleaning the inside of the nipple 21 can flow down along the guide columns 226.
[0047] In some possible implementations, the placement section 223 of the nipple support 220 is provided with at least one protrusion 2231 for abutting against the inner wall of the nipple 21 to prevent the nipple 21 from shifting when it is rinsed and to enhance stability.
[0048] In some possible implementations, the nipple support rod 220 is detachably mounted on the bottle holder 200, and the support section 221 of the nipple support rod 220 is provided with an installation handle 2211 to facilitate the installation and removal of the nipple support rod 220.
[0049] In some possible implementations, the bottom of the support section 221 extends outward in a horizontal direction and is provided with a mounting part 224, and the bottle holder 200 is provided with a mounting base 230 that cooperates with the mounting part 224.
[0050] In some possible implementations, the mounting part 224 is provided with a downward mounting post 225, the mounting post 225 is provided with a protruding ridge 2251, and the mounting base 230 is provided with a limiting groove 231 that cooperates with the protruding ridge 2251. The protruding ridge 2251 and the limiting groove 231 are used to position the installation of the nipple support rod 220.
[0051] In some possible implementations, there are multiple bottle placement areas 210 and nipple support rods 220, and the multiple bottle placement areas 210 and multiple nipple support rods 220 are adjacent to each other and arranged circumferentially, so that the bottle cleaning device 100 can clean multiple bottles 20 at the same time, and the distribution of multiple bottles 20 and nipples 21 is reasonable, improving space utilization.
[0052] In some possible implementations, a bottle cap holder 300 is provided above the nipple support rod 220, and the upper spray arm 110 is provided with a second upper nozzle 112 facing the bottle cap holder 300. The second upper nozzle 112 can spray water to clean the bottle cap 22 placed on the bottle cap holder 300.
[0053] In some possible implementations, the fixed nozzle 120 and the bottle holder 200 can be detached and installed as a whole inside the bottle washing machine 10, making the fixed nozzle 120 more stable and enabling quick and direct detachment from the bottle holder 200 without complicated disassembly steps. The operation is simple, the disassembly is completed in one go, and it is convenient to use.
[0054] When cleaning, there are significant differences in the cleaning force and water volume required to clean the baby bottle 20 and its accessories such as the nipple 21. Specifically, a larger water volume is required to clean the inside of the baby bottle 20, and a single nozzle is needed to clean it. However, using the same nozzle to clean accessories such as the nipple 21 will result in excessive water volume, causing unnecessary waste of water resources. In order to save water resources, in some possible embodiments, the upper spray arm 110 is rotatably disposed between the baby bottle placement area 210 and the nipple support rod 220, so that the upper spray arm 110 can rotate to spray water, thereby cleaning multiple nipples 21 at the same time and reducing the waste of water resources for cleaning the nipples 21.
[0055] In some possible implementations, the bottle cleaning device 100 includes a lower spray arm 130 located below the bottle holder 200. The lower spray arm 130 has a first lower nozzle 131 facing the bottle holder 200. The lower spray arm 130 can rotate to clean the outer side of the bottle body 20 and can also spray water upwards to clean the nipple 21. Through the combination of the upper spray arm 110, the fixed nozzle 120, and the lower spray arm 130, the bottle 20 and its accessories are cleaned from all angles, achieving a better cleaning effect. It is understood that the upper spray arm 110, the fixed nozzle 120, and the lower spray arm can be interconnected through a hollow column 140. The water inlet of the hollow column 140 is connected to the water supply device 400, or they can be connected in pairs or not, with water supplied through different water supply devices 400.
[0056] In some possible implementations, the two ends of the lower spray arm 130 extend to the outside of the bottle 20, so that water can be sprayed to the outside of the bottle 20.
[0057] In some possible implementations, there are multiple first lower nozzles 131, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the lower spray arm 130, and the width of the lower spray arm 130 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. After the diameter of the distal pipe of the lower spray arm 130 decreases, according to the principle of fluid mechanics, the smaller pipe diameter will increase the flow velocity at the same flow rate. The increased flow velocity can partially offset the pressure loss along the flow path and make up for the insufficient pressure at the distal end. At the same time, the larger pipe diameter at the proximal end can reduce the flow velocity and reduce pressure loss, ultimately making the water volume of each first lower nozzle 131 more similar, resulting in a uniform spraying effect.
[0058] In some possible implementations, the lower spray arm 130 is provided with a downward-facing second lower nozzle 132, which can spray water downward to clean the sewage and residue that have accumulated at the bottom and prevent residue from remaining.
[0059] This application also provides a baby bottle washing machine 10, which includes the baby bottle cleaning device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0060] In some possible implementations, the bottle placement area 210 is provided with a pad 211 for tilting the bottle 20 with its opening facing downwards outwards. The pad 211 can raise one side of the bottle opening of the bottle 20 so that it tilts outwards, thereby avoiding the nipple 21 from being too close together, preventing the bottle 20 and the nipple 21 from being too tightly packed, increasing the coverage area of the water flow on the bottle 20 and the nipple 21, and improving the cleaning effect.
[0061] In some possible implementations, the outer side of the bottle placement area 210 is provided with an upwardly extending bottle backrest 212. The bottle backrest 212 is used to support the tilted bottle 20 and enhance stability. The bottle backrest 212 can be fixedly installed on the bottle rack 200 or detachably installed on the bottle rack 200.
[0062] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments and the technical principles employed in this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, although this application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, this application is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of this application, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
