[0001] This application relates to the field of bottle washing machine technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency automatic bottle washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A published patent document (CN219233424U) discloses a chain-type bottle washing machine, relating to the field of bottle washing machines. It includes a frame, a bottle washing assembly, a bottle blowing assembly, and a conveyor chain. The frame also includes a drive assembly for moving the conveyor chain. The conveyor chain comprises multiple sequentially connected links, with adjacent links hinged together. Each link has a hollow tube section for accommodating bottles. A snap-fit ​​sleeve is fixedly connected to the tube section, and a snap-fit ​​plate is slidably connected to the snap-fit ​​sleeve. A spring is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​sleeve, with one end connected to the snap-fit ​​sleeve and the other end connected to the snap-fit ​​plate. This application has the advantage of adapting to various bottle sizes without changing the conveyor chain, reducing wasted production time.

[0003] In practical use, the above devices can obstruct the outer wall of the bottle due to the pipe sections and clamping sleeves. Even if smaller pipe sections and clamping sleeves are used, although the obstruction area of ​​the bottle is smaller and the cleaning effect is better, the clamping area of ​​the bottle is also smaller. This may lead to insufficient stability of the bottle during rinsing, making it difficult to achieve a balance between cleaning effect and clamping effect. Therefore, this application provides a technical solution to solve this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a high-efficiency automatic bottle washing machine that overcomes these deficiencies. The aim is to solve the problem that, in practical use, the tube sections and clamping sleeves obstruct the outer wall of the bottle. Even with smaller tube sections and clamping sleeves, while the obstructed area is reduced and the cleaning effect is better, the clamping area is also smaller, potentially leading to insufficient stability of the bottle during rinsing and making it difficult to achieve a balance between cleaning and clamping effectiveness.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency automatic bottle washing machine, comprising a frame, a water collection tank at the top of the frame, a conveyor fixedly installed at the top of the water collection tank, a cleaning tank fixedly installed at the top of the water collection tank, a cleaning mechanism installed inside the cleaning tank, a plurality of cup holders connected to the top of the conveyor, a clamping mechanism installed inside the cup holders, the clamping mechanism comprising a plurality of springs, the plurality of springs being ring-shaped and installed in the middle of the cup holders, one end of each plurality of springs being connected to a clamping post, a punched hole being provided at the bottom of the cup holders, a plurality of abutment points being fixedly installed at the end of each clamping post away from the springs, the plurality of abutment points being evenly distributed along the clamping post from top to bottom.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottle to be cleaned is inverted and inserted between several sets of clamping columns. The outer wall of the bottle exerts pressure on the clamping columns, causing the connected springs to deform and thus fixing bottles of different sizes. At the same time, several sets of contact points contact the outer wall of the bottle, forming several fixing points. The conveyor drives the cup holder and the bottle connected to it by the clamping mechanism into the cleaning tank for cleaning. The perforation facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the bottle. Channels are formed between adjacent sets of clamping columns and between several sets of contact points, which facilitates the flow of water through the bottle for cleaning. This improves the cleaning effect of the bottle and ensures the clamping effect of bottles of different sizes.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer ring of the spring is provided with a waterproof outer sleeve, one side of the waterproof outer sleeve is fixedly installed on the top of the cup holder, a waterproof inner sleeve is slidably connected inside the waterproof outer sleeve, one end of the waterproof inner sleeve is fixedly installed with the clamping post, and both ends of the spring are respectively installed with the waterproof outer sleeve and the waterproof inner sleeve.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof outer sleeve and waterproof inner sleeve prevent water from contacting the spring, thus providing waterproof protection for the spring. At the same time, the waterproof outer sleeve and waterproof inner sleeve form a telescopic mechanism that can cooperate with the elastic expansion and contraction of the spring. In addition, the limiting block and the protrusion limit the separation of the waterproof outer sleeve and waterproof inner sleeve, which is conducive to the stable waterproof protection of the spring.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the clamping columns located on the top of the same group of cup holders are evenly distributed in a circumferential shape, and the number of the clamping columns located on the top of the same group of cup holders is at least 12 groups, and the top of each of the clamping columns is fixedly connected to a guide portion, and the guide portions located on the top of the same group of cup holders are radially distributed.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, at least 12 sets of clamping posts above the same set of cup holders form a circumferential shape, which is conducive to the stable and uniform clamping of the outer wall of the bottle. The guide parts above the same set of cup holders are distributed radially, which makes it easy to guide the bottle to be inserted between several sets of clamping posts with little effort.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a lower connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the cup holder, and an upper connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the cup holder away from the lower connecting block. Two sets of adjacent cup holders are connected through the lower connecting block and the upper connecting block, and bolts are installed at the connection between the lower connecting block and the upper connecting block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of adjacent cup holders are connected by a lower connecting block and an upper connecting block, which are fixed by bolts. This helps to enhance the stability of the connection between the two sets of adjacent cup holders, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the spring is provided with a telescopic guide rod inside, the bottom end of the telescopic guide rod is installed inside the waterproof outer sleeve, and the telescopic end of the telescopic guide rod is fixedly installed with the waterproof inner sleeve.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic guide rod guides the spring during its elastic extension and retraction, while also assisting the spring in strengthening the support for the clamping column. This helps to improve the stability of the bottle after clamping and extends the service life of the spring.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer wall of the contact point is wrapped with a rubber layer.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber layer increases the friction between the contact point and the bottle body, thereby improving the stability of the bottle after clamping. At the same time, the rubber layer can also play a buffering role, reducing wear on the outer wall of the bottle and protecting the bottle from damage.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a controller is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller facilitates the operation of the device by staff, thus improving its practicality during use.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a splash guard is fixedly installed at the open end of the cleaning tank.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the splash-proof curtain reduces water splashing during the cleaning process inside the cleaning box, which helps to maintain a clean working environment.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are: 1. The bottle to be cleaned is inverted and inserted between several sets of clamping posts. The outer wall of the bottle exerts pressure on the clamping posts, causing them to deform by compressing the connected springs. This allows for the fixation of bottles of different sizes. At the same time, several contact points contact the outer wall of the bottle, forming several fixing points. The conveyor carries the cup holder and the bottle connected to it by the clamping mechanism into the cleaning tank for cleaning. The perforation facilitates the cleaning of the inner wall of the bottle. Channels are formed between adjacent sets of clamping posts and between several sets of contact points, which facilitates the flow of water through the bottle for cleaning. This improves the cleaning effect of the bottle and ensures the clamping effect on bottles of different sizes.

[0022] 2. Waterproof outer and inner sleeves prevent water from contacting the spring, thus providing waterproof protection. At the same time, the waterproof outer and inner sleeves form a telescopic mechanism that can cooperate with the elastic expansion and contraction of the spring. In addition, limiting blocks and protrusions prevent the waterproof outer and inner sleeves from separating, which helps to stably protect the spring from water. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The bottle to be cleaned is inverted and inserted between several sets of clamping posts 602. The outer wall of the bottle exerts pressure on the clamping posts 602, causing the clamping posts 602 to compress the connected springs 601, thus deforming them and fixing bottles of different sizes. Simultaneously, several sets of contact points 605 contact the outer wall of the bottle, forming several fixing points. The conveyor 3 carries the cup holder 5 and the bottle connected to it via the clamping mechanism 6 into the cleaning tank 4 for cleaning. The perforations 604 facilitate cleaning of the inner wall of the bottle. A channel is formed between the two sets of clamping posts 602, and a channel is also formed between several sets of contact points 605, which facilitates the flow of water through to clean the bottle, improving the cleaning effect of the bottle and ensuring the clamping effect of bottles of different sizes. At least 12 sets of clamping posts 602 above the same set of cup holders 5 form a circumferential shape, which helps to firmly and evenly clamp the outer wall of the bottle. The guide parts 603 above the same set of cup holders 5 are radially distributed, which makes it easy to guide the bottle to be inserted between several sets of clamping posts 602 with little effort.

Two sets of adjacent cup holders 5 are connected through the lower connecting block 7 and the upper connecting block 8. A bolt 13 is installed at the connection between the lower connecting block 7 and the upper connecting block 8. The waterproof outer sleeve 9 and waterproof inner sleeve 10 prevent water from contacting the spring 601, thus providing waterproof protection for the spring 601. At the same time, the waterproof outer sleeve 9 and waterproof inner sleeve 10 form a telescopic mechanism that can cooperate with the elastic expansion and contraction of the spring 601. Meanwhile, the limiting block 11 and the protrusion 12 prevent the waterproof outer sleeve 9 and waterproof inner sleeve 10 from separating, which helps to stably protect the spring 601 from water. The two sets of adjacent cup holders 5 are connected by the lower connecting block 7 and the upper connecting block 8, which are fixed by bolts 13.

At the same time, the waterproof outer sleeve 9 and the waterproof inner sleeve 10 form a telescopic mechanism that can cooperate with the elastic extension and contraction of the spring 601. Meanwhile, the limiting block 11 and the protrusion 12 limit the separation of the waterproof outer sleeve 9 and the waterproof inner sleeve 10, which is conducive to the stable waterproof protection of the spring 601. Among them, at least 12 sets of clamping posts 602 above the same set of cup holders 5 form a circumferential shape, which is conducive to the stable and uniform clamping of the outer wall of the bottle. The guide parts 603 above the same set of cup holders 5 are radially distributed, which makes it easy to guide the bottle to be inserted into the several sets of clamping posts 602 with little effort. Two sets of adjacent cup holders 5 are connected by a lower connecting block 7 and an upper connecting block 8. The lower connecting block 7 and the upper connecting block 8 are fixed by bolts 13, which helps to enhance the stability of the connection between the two sets of adjacent cup holders 5, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. Meanwhile, the telescopic guide rod 14 guides the elastic extension and retraction of the spring 601, and also assists the spring 601 in strengthening the support for the clamping column 602, which helps to improve the stability of the bottle after clamping and extend the service life of the spring 601; the rubber layer increases the friction between the contact point 605 and the bottle, improving the stability of the bottle after clamping. At the same time, the rubber layer can also act as a buffer, reducing wear on the outer wall of the bottle and protecting the bottle from damage.
