Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plastic cup sterilization equipment, specifically to a sterilization device for the production of plastic cups. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of plastic cups, due to factors such as raw materials, production environment, and processing equipment, the surface and interior of plastic cups are highly susceptible to contamination by bacteria, microorganisms, and other harmful pollutants. Therefore, disinfecting plastic cups after production is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and safe use.
[0003] Currently, the core disinfection method of existing plastic cup production disinfection equipment is mostly to spray disinfectant directly onto the surface of the plastic cup. This disinfection method has the following problems: First, during the spraying of disinfectant, the disinfectant can easily enter the inside of the plastic cup. Since the mouth of the plastic cup is usually facing upwards, the disinfectant inside the cup will accumulate at the bottom of the cup due to gravity, requiring additional processes such as pouring, wiping, or drying. This increases production costs and reduces production efficiency.
[0004] II. In existing disinfection equipment, plastic cups are often secured using clamping fixtures to ensure stability during the disinfection process. However, the contact points between the clamping fixture and the plastic cup create obstructions, preventing disinfectant from reaching these areas. Similarly, the bottom of the plastic cup, which is usually in contact with the placement surface or the fixture's support structure, also presents a problem of being difficult for disinfectant to reach. This results in the bottom of the plastic cup and the parts in contact with the clamping fixture becoming disinfection blind spots, unable to receive effective disinfection, thus affecting the overall disinfection effect and failing to meet ideal disinfection standards.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a sterilization device for the production of plastic cups. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for the production of plastic cups.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A sterilization device for producing plastic cups, comprising: The housing includes a receiving recess formed therein containing disinfectant and an open platform located on one side of the receiving recess and above the disinfectant level.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings for those skilled in the art.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sterilization device for producing plastic cups includes: a housing 1 and a fixed base plate 4 and a fixed top plate 7 that are movable and liftable and disposed within the housing 1.
[0021] The housing 1 includes a recessed groove 2 containing disinfectant solution formed inside it, and an open platform 3 located on one side of the recessed groove 2 and higher than the disinfectant solution level. The top and side of the open platform 3 are open to facilitate operation by the operator. Preferably, the bottom surface of the open platform 3 is inclined, and its lowest point is connected to the top of the recessed groove 2 so that the disinfectant solution on the open platform 3 can flow back into the recessed groove 2.
[0022] A fixed base plate 4 is disposed inside the housing 1 and can be raised and lowered to be immersed in the disinfectant solution. It includes a plurality of recessed placement grooves 5 arranged in a matrix, formed by a recess in its top surface, and a plurality of through holes 6 extending downwards through the placement grooves 5. The recessed placement grooves 5 can be used to define the position of the plastic cup during disinfection, and the through holes 6 connect the disinfectant solution and the plastic cup, allowing the disinfectant solution to enter the plastic cup through the through holes 6 during immersion. Preferably, the plurality of through holes 6 are evenly distributed within the placement grooves 5 to ensure uniform entry of the disinfectant solution.
[0023] The fixed top plate 7 is height-adjustable and positioned inside the housing 1 above the fixed bottom plate 4, allowing it to be immersed in the leaching disinfectant solution. It includes several limiting slots 13 that correspond one-to-one with the placement recesses 5. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixed top plate 7 corresponds to the fixed bottom plate 4, and both have the same structure and size, and can be raised and lowered relative to each other. The limiting groove 13 passes through the fixed top plate 7, and its size is smaller than that of the placement groove 5, making this application only suitable for plastic cups that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. As shown in the attached figure, in this embodiment, both the placement groove 5 and the limiting groove 13 are circular, with the front diameter being larger than the latter.
[0024] The top of the housing 1 is provided with a sliding plate 8 that moves back and forth between the receiving groove 2 and the open platform 3. The fixed bottom plate 4 and the fixed top plate 7 are vertically connected to the sliding plate 8, allowing the fixed bottom plate 4 and the fixed top plate 7 to move back and forth between the receiving groove 2 and the open platform 3. When the two fixed plates are located on the open platform 3, the plastic cup loading and unloading process is in progress; when the two fixed plates are located on the receiving groove 2, the plastic cup immersion in disinfectant solution is in progress.
[0025] Specifically, the sliding plate 8 is equipped with two sets of lifting cylinders 9, whose piston rods extend into the housing 1 and connect to the fixed base plate 4 and the fixed top plate 7 respectively. The fixed base plate 4 has protruding connecting parts on both sides, corresponding to the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 9 in one set. The fixed top plate 7 also has protruding connecting parts on both sides, offset from the connecting parts of the fixed base plate 4, corresponding to the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 9 in the other set. The two fixed plates rise and fall respectively under the action of the lifting cylinders 9. Both fixed plates and the piston rods of the lifting cylinders 9 are corrosion-resistant to reduce the corrosion of the three components by the disinfectant, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
[0026] Meanwhile, a slide rail 10 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and a sliding plate 8 is slidably fitted on the slide rail 10 and threadedly engaged with a lead screw 11 rotatably mounted above the housing 1. One end of the lead screw 11 is connected to a servo motor 12 for transmission. The servo motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding plate 8 to move back and forth. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 9 extends into the housing 1 through a slot in the top of the housing 1, allowing the piston rod to move relative to the housing 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the plastic cup is placed upside down in the placement groove 5 of the fixed base plate 4, and then the fixed top plate 7 is pressed down to use the limiting through groove 13 to fix the plastic cup. Then, the two fixed plates are lowered synchronously under the drive of the lifting cylinder 9, so that the plastic cup is immersed in the disinfectant for disinfection. After disinfection, the top plate 4 rises slightly to loosen the restraint on the plastic cup. Under the action of buoyancy, the plastic cup will float up, allowing it to come into contact with the disinfectant in all directions without any blind spots. At this time, the plastic cup can only move within a small range and cannot detach from the two fixed plates. Then the bottom plate 4 rises and works with the stationary top plate 7 to re-fix the plastic cup. After that, the two fixed plates rise synchronously to soak out the disinfectant, achieving all-round disinfection. Then, the servo motor 12 works, driving the sliding plate 8, the lifting cylinder 9 and the two fixed plates to move from the receiving groove 2 to the open platform 3. After they are in place, the fixed top plate 7 rises, releasing the restriction on the plastic cups, and the operator can load and unload the plastic cups.
[0028] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
