Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bottle dewatering devices, and particularly relates to a rapid dewatering device for the exterior of a bottle. Background Technology

[0002] In the production processes of pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, containers such as reagent bottles and sample bottles often have condensation or residual moisture adhering to their surfaces after cleaning or sterilization. This moisture needs to be removed before subsequent processes to avoid affecting their use. Existing bottle dehydration devices use manual wiping or contact wiping mechanisms, which can remove surface moisture, but the wiping cloths, absorbent sponges, and other contact parts are prone to microbial growth or debris generation, leading to contaminants adhering to the bottle and failing to meet the cleanliness requirements of pharmaceuticals and food processing. Another method uses a hot air blower with a heating plate for thermal drying, but this heating process causes the pre-filled solution inside the bottle or the bottle itself to heat up, affecting the accuracy of subsequent experiments or the stability of product quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, air knives are used to blow away moisture from the outside of the bottle. However, this method is not very effective at removing residual moisture from the bottom of the bottle, which can easily create blind spots in the removal process. Furthermore, it does not take into account the saturation of the water-absorbing components, which requires frequent replacement and can easily affect the continuity of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a rapid water removal device for the outside of the bottle, in order to solve the problem that traditional technologies have poor water removal capabilities for residual water at the bottom of the bottle, which easily leads to blind spots in water removal.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The external rapid water removal device for the bottle includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A telescopic mechanism, which is mounted on a base;

[0009] The water removal mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism. A water removal port is provided through the cantilever end of the mounting plate. An annular air knife is installed on the top of the mounting plate at the water removal port, and a connecting frame is fixedly connected to its bottom. The annular air knife is used to blow away water from the outside of the bottle. A funnel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, and an elastic component is connected to its middle. The funnel is used to receive the water removed from the bottle. An absorbent sponge is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic component. The absorbent sponge is located directly below the water removal port and is used to absorb water from the bottom of the bottle.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes a fixed frame and an electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the base. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a column, which is slidably connected to the fixed frame. Its top is fixedly connected to a mounting plate. A controller is installed on the side of the fixed frame, and the controller is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, the air inlet of the annular air knife is connected to an external clean air source and is equipped with a solenoid valve. A photoelectric sensor is installed on the top of the annular air knife. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether the bottle to be dehydrated has entered the air outlet area of ​​the annular air knife. The solenoid valve and the photoelectric sensor are both electrically connected to the controller. The controller receives the signal from the photoelectric sensor and controls the start and stop of the annular air knife by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic component includes a return spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow groove, a spring seat fixedly connected to the top of the return spring, the bottom of the spring seat slidably connected to the inside of the hollow groove, and the top of the spring seat fixedly connected to the absorbent sponge.

[0013] Preferably, the controller has a dewatering mode and a regeneration mode. When the controller is in the dewatering mode, it controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod to remain in a retracted state, so that the bottle to be dewatered lightly touches the absorbent sponge when it descends. When the controller is in the regeneration mode, it controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod to remain in an extended state, so that the bottle to be dewatered squeezes the absorbent sponge when it descends.

[0014] Preferably, a protective film is fixedly connected to the top of the absorbent sponge, and the protective film is a food-grade PTFE film.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the annular air knife can form a uniform annular air curtain to quickly blow away moisture from the outside of the bottle. Combined with the water-absorbing sponge, it can accurately absorb residual moisture at the bottom of the bottle, achieving all-round water removal without dead angles. The single water removal efficiency is much higher than that of natural air drying and traditional wiping methods. With the help of the electric telescopic rod, the controller can flexibly switch between water removal and regeneration modes. During daily water removal, it can efficiently absorb water. When the water-absorbing sponge is saturated, it can be regenerated by squeezing, without the need to frequently replace the water-absorbing sponge. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor and the controller are linked to trigger the automatic start and stop of the annular air knife. The controller also supports preset regeneration conditions and manual or automatic switching modes, which greatly reduces manual intervention and adapts to the continuous operation requirements of the production line.

[0017] 2. In this invention, the food-grade PTFE protective film attached to the top of the absorbent sponge not only ensures that moisture can smoothly penetrate into the interior of the absorbent sponge, but also effectively blocks the fine debris generated during squeezing or long-term use, preventing it from adhering to the bottle surface. This ensures that the bottle is clean and uncontaminated, making it particularly suitable for reagent bottle handling scenarios with stringent cleanliness requirements, such as those in the pharmaceutical and food industries. At the same time, the combination structure of the return spring and spring seat can evenly transmit the downward pressure of the bottle to the entire absorbent sponge, preventing damage or deformation of the absorbent sponge due to excessive localized force. This significantly extends the service life of the absorbent sponge and reduces the frequency of consumable replacement and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 The external rapid water removal device for the bottle includes:

[0024] Base 1 is a horizontally positioned rectangular plate structure.

[0025] Telescopic mechanism, which is installed on base 1.

[0026] The telescopic mechanism includes a fixed frame 2 and an electric telescopic rod 3 fixedly connected to the base 1. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to a column 4, which is slidably connected to the fixed frame 2. Its top is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. A controller 5 is installed on the side of the fixed frame 2, and the controller 5 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 3.

[0027] The fixing frame 2 is an inverted U-shaped frame structure with a sliding hole at the top that matches the column 4. The inner wall of the sliding hole is provided with a wear-resistant bushing to reduce the wear of the column 4 when it slides.

[0028] The water removal mechanism includes a mounting plate 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism. A water removal port 7 is provided through the cantilever end of the mounting plate 6. An annular air knife 8 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 6 at the water removal port 7, and a connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to its bottom. The annular air knife 8 is used to blow away water from the outside of the bottle. A funnel 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 10, and an elastic component is connected to its middle. The funnel 11 is used to receive the water removed from the bottle. An absorbent sponge 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic component. The absorbent sponge 15 is located directly below the water removal port 7 and is used to absorb water from the bottom of the bottle.

[0029] The inner wall of funnel 11 is treated with a hydrophobic coating to ensure that the collected water is drained quickly.

[0030] The air inlet of the annular air knife 8 is connected to an external clean air source and is equipped with a solenoid valve. A photoelectric sensor 9 is installed on the top of the annular air knife 8. The photoelectric sensor 9 is used to detect whether the bottle to be dewatered has entered the air outlet area of ​​the annular air knife 8. Both the solenoid valve and the photoelectric sensor 9 are electrically connected to the controller 5. The controller 5 receives the signal from the photoelectric sensor 9 and controls the start and stop of the annular air knife 8 by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0031] The annular air knife 8 uses existing technology to introduce high-pressure clean air from an external clean air source, and outputs an annular air curtain obliquely downward through its own annular air outlet to ensure that water on the outside of the bottle is completely removed when it passes through the bottle.

[0032] The elastic component includes a return spring 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow groove 12, a spring seat 14 fixedly connected to the top of the return spring 13, the bottom of the spring seat 14 being slidably connected to the inside of the hollow groove 12, and the top of the spring seat 14 being fixedly connected to the water-absorbing sponge 15.

[0033] When the spring 13 returns to its natural state, the absorbent sponge 15 is positioned below the drain outlet 7, allowing the airflow carrying water vapor to pass through the gap between the drain outlet 7 and the absorbent sponge 15 and enter the interior of the funnel 11, thus preventing the absorbent sponge 15 from blocking the drain outlet 7 and affecting the water removal effect.

[0034] The controller 5 has a dewatering mode and a regeneration mode. When the controller 5 is in the dewatering mode, it controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 to remain in a retracted state, so that the bottle to be dewatered lightly touches the water-absorbing sponge 15 when it descends. When the controller 5 is in the regeneration mode, it controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 to remain in an extended state, so that the bottle to be dewatered squeezes the water-absorbing sponge 15 when it descends.

[0035] The controller 5 has a mode switching button on its surface, which can be used to manually switch the working mode. The controller 5 can also preset the regeneration trigger conditions and support automatic switching to the regeneration mode according to the number of water removal cycles or timed intervals. In the water removal mode, the compression of the water-absorbing sponge 15 is small, and it only achieves passive water absorption. In the regeneration mode, the compression of the water-absorbing sponge 15 is large, and most of the water inside the water-absorbing sponge 15 can be squeezed out.

[0036] A protective film 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the absorbent sponge 15. The protective film 16 is made of food-grade PTFE film, i.e., polytetrafluoroethylene film.

[0037] The absorbent sponge 15 is a high-density hydrophilic polyurethane sponge. The protective film 16 is attached to the top of the absorbent sponge 15 along the edge with food-grade silicone adhesive. This film can prevent debris from the absorbent sponge 15 from adhering to the bottle body without affecting the penetration and absorption of water.

[0038] During operation, controller 5 switches to water removal mode by default, controls the output end of electric telescopic rod 3 to remain in a retracted state, the solenoid valve is in a closed state, and photoelectric sensor 9 enters standby detection state.

[0039] The external device moves the bottle to be dewatered to directly above the dewatering port 7 and begins to descend. When the bottle enters the air outlet area of ​​the annular air knife 8, the photoelectric sensor 9 detects the bottle signal and transmits it to the controller 5. The controller 5 immediately controls the solenoid valve to open, and the annular air knife 8 sprays out a 360° downward high-speed uniform air curtain to blow away the water adhering to the outside of the bottle. The blown-off water falls into the funnel 11 below through the dewatering port 7.

[0040] The bottle continues to descend until it touches the absorbent sponge 15, which passively absorbs the residual moisture at the bottom of the bottle. At this time, the controller 5 keeps the solenoid valve open for a short period of time to replenish and blow away the residual water mist at the bottom of the bottle where it contacts the absorbent sponge 15. Then the solenoid valve is closed, and the external equipment drives the dried bottle upward to remove it, completing a single water removal process.

[0041] When the absorbent sponge 15 is nearly saturated with water, the controller 5 switches to regeneration mode, controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 to extend, driving the mounting plate 6 and the water removal mechanism to rise as a whole. When the bottle body descends, it deeply squeezes the absorbent sponge 15, and the squeezed water flows into the funnel 11 through the upper surface of the spring seat 14, and then is discharged through the bottom of the funnel 11. After regeneration is completed, it can be manually or automatically switched back to the water removal mode, and the electric telescopic rod 3 retracts and resets.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
