Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of empty barrel disinfection, and in particular to an automatic empty barrel disinfection device for a bottled water production line. Background Technology

[0002] Bottled drinking water, due to its convenience and hygiene, has become an important drinking water solution for homes, offices, and public places. Ensuring the hygiene and safety of bottled water hinges on high-standard cleaning and disinfection of reusable PC or PET containers before each use. In large-scale production, manual washing and disinfection methods are inefficient and inconsistent in achieving cleanliness. Therefore, automated disinfection equipment has become standard equipment on modern bottled water production lines to achieve automated cleaning and disinfection of the inside and outside of empty containers, meeting increasingly stringent food hygiene and safety regulations. Currently, mainstream production lines generally use linear conveyor belts to carry empty bottles, which then pass through multiple independent cleaning and disinfection stations in sequence. The dwell time at each spray station cannot be precisely guaranteed, especially when the production cycle is fast, which can easily lead to quality problems such as insufficient rinsing time and incomplete disinfection. Secondly, the linear arrangement of various functional compartments occupies a lot of factory space, resulting in a long and cumbersome equipment layout. For workshops with limited space, the layout flexibility is greatly restricted. Therefore, an automatic empty bottle disinfection device for bottled water production lines is proposed.

[0021] This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-4 The disinfection component 6 includes a spray ring 61 located at the top rear of the rotating seat 3 and a spray pipe 62 located in the middle of the inner cavity of the spray ring 61. Vertical rods 63 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the spray pipe 62 near both the left and right sides, and an n-shaped plate 64 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the vertical rods 63.

[0024] The automatic empty bottle disinfection device for a bottled water production line provided by this utility model operates as follows: During use, the operator places the empty bottle to be disinfected in the circular groove on the placement seat 3. After placement, the external disinfectant pipe is connected to the connecting pipe 65, allowing the disinfectant to enter the spray ring 61 and spray pipe 62 and be sprayed out. Then, the servo motor 69 is activated. The servo motor 69 drives the T-shaped threaded rod 67 to rotate. When the T-shaped threaded rod 67 rotates, it drives the spray ring 61 downwards via the arc-shaped threaded plate 66. Simultaneously, the spray pipe 62 moves downwards synchronously with the spray ring 61 via the vertical rod 63 and the n-shaped plate 64, thus spraying disinfectant on the outer and inner sides of the empty bottle, achieving disinfection. After disinfection, the servo motor 69 moves upwards to its original position, and the valve of the external pipe is closed, allowing the disinfection process to continue. When the spraying of toxic water stops, the drive motor 54 is activated. The drive motor 54 rotates the turntable 53, which in turn rotates several toothed blocks. When the toothed blocks mesh with the movable gear 52, they drive the movable gear 52 to rotate. The movable gear 52 then rotates the rotating rod 51 and ratchet 55. The rotating rod 51 then rotates the rotating seat 3, thus rotating the next empty bucket to the position of the previous empty bucket for easy spraying. The ratchet 55 rotates in conjunction with the pawl 56. When the turntable 53 moves several toothed blocks away from the movable gear 52, the movable gear 52 stops operating. The ratchet 55 and pawl 56 limit the movement of the movable gear 52, preventing it from reversing. The spray ring 61 also limits the movement of empty buckets, effectively improving the stability during disinfection.
