Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wine glass wiping and drying technology. Specifically, it relates to a device for wiping wine glasses clean. Background Technology

[0002] In professional wine tasting, laboratory settings, and catering services, the cleaning and drying of glassware (especially tasting glasses) is a crucial step in ensuring hygiene, maintaining transparency, and guaranteeing sensory comfort. Traditionally, cleaned tasting glasses are manually wiped with paper towels or cloths to remove water stains. However, this method has several significant drawbacks: firstly, it consumes a large amount of paper towels, resulting in resource waste and environmental impact; secondly, manual wiping is inefficient and time-consuming, especially when dealing with a large number of glasses, which significantly reduces work efficiency; and thirdly, the cleaning effect is inconsistent, easily leaving fiber residue or water stains.

[0003] Currently, some automatic or semi-automatic glassware cleaning devices have appeared on the market, but they are usually large, expensive, and rely on electricity, increasing energy consumption and operational complexity, making them unsuitable for small-scale or mobile scenarios. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an environmentally friendly, efficient, and portable manual cleaning tool that can quickly and evenly remove water stains from wine glasses without relying on an external power source, while reducing reliance on disposable paper towels.

[0018] Example: See attached Figures 1-3This embodiment provides a device for cleaning and drying the inside of wine glasses. It includes a drive housing 1, which is equipped with a manual drive component, a transmission component, and a cleaning component. The manual drive component allows a worker to manually apply force, which is then transmitted to the cleaning component via the transmission component to clean and dry the inside of the wine glass. By using mechanical transmission instead of electric drive, it saves energy and is more efficient than traditional paper towel wiping methods, thus conserving resources. In this embodiment, the manual drive component includes a hand handle 2. An opening is provided on one side of the drive housing 1. The hand handle 2 is generally V-shaped, and the angle of its bottom opening is preferably a right angle. One end is provided with an elastic element. A part of the hand handle 2 extends out of the opening and is located outside the drive housing 1. This part is the drive part. The hand handle 2 is connected to the drive housing 1 through the elastic element. When the drive part on the hand handle 2 is pressed, the entire hand handle 2 rotates around the elastic element as the axis into the opening. At this time, it is limited by the drive housing 1 and cannot be pressed further. A rack structure is provided on the part of the hand handle 2 located inside the drive housing 1. The rack structure moves with the hand handle 2. The rack structure is connected to the transmission component and can transmit the force to the transmission component.

[0019] In this embodiment, the transmission component includes a cylindrical spur gear 5, which is connected inside the drive housing 1 via bearings and bearing seat structures to achieve rotatable connection. The cylindrical spur gear 5 meshes with a rack structure, preferably an arc-shaped rack 4. The selection of the arc curvature and the position of the cylindrical spur gear 5 are required to ensure that the arc-shaped rack 4 remains meshed with the cylindrical spur gear 5 during the rotation of the elastic element and continuously drives the cylindrical spur gear 5 to rotate. When the pressing force is removed, the arc-shaped rack 4 continues to rotate in the opposite direction around the elastic element due to the restoring force of the elastic element, while simultaneously driving the cylindrical spur gear 5 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0020] In this embodiment, the elastic element is a torsion spring 3. One end of the hand-pressing handle 2 is connected to the drive housing 1 via the torsion spring 3, and the torsion spring 3 is fixed to the drive housing 1 via a mounting base. The torsion spring 3 structure enables the driving part of pressing the hand-pressing handle 2 to drive the arc-shaped rack 4 to rotate around the torsion spring 3 as the axis within the drive housing 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, the cleaning component includes a connecting rod 6 with a circular hole at the bottom of the drive housing 1. One end of the connecting rod 6 is fixed to the lower side of the cylindrical spur gear 5, and the other end extends out of the drive housing 1 through the circular hole. The connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the circular hole via a bearing, allowing it to rotate synchronously with the cylindrical spur gear 5. The cleaning component also includes a detachably connected wiping ball 7 to the bottom of the connecting rod 6. The wiping ball 7 has an internal threaded hole, and the corresponding external thread is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 6. The wiping ball 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 via the threaded engagement. The wiping ball 7 extends into the wine glass and rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 6. The surface of the wiping ball 7 is covered with ultra-fine fibers, which clean the inner wall of the wine glass during rotation and absorb water to dry the inner wall. Compared to wiping with a paper towel, it is less likely to produce fiber residue and water stains, and it is simple to operate, has a simple structure, and is more efficient.

[0022] In this embodiment, the wiping balls 7 are configured with various shapes based on the structure of commonly used cup types. Their surfaces are all covered with fibrous fibers and each has an internally threaded hole that matches the connecting rod 6. In practice, matching wiping balls 7 can be selected to wipe different cup types. After the wiping balls 7 become dirty, they can be disassembled for washing and drying, or reused multiple times until a new one is installed, completely replacing disposable paper towels and reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0023] In this embodiment, the shape of the drive box 1 can be set to be easy to grip, and a rubber pad is provided on the drive part of the hand pressure handle 2 to improve the operator's comfort and thus adapt to long-term cleaning work.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
