[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a bottle washing machine includes a machine base 1, an inlet conveyor belt 2, an outlet conveyor belt 3, and a washing table 4 located between the inlet conveyor belt 2 and the outlet conveyor belt 3. The washing table 4 is provided with multiple washing tanks 5, and washing components 8 are provided on the washing tanks 5. A first gripping and flipping component 6 and a second gripping and flipping component 7 are installed above the washing table 4. The first gripping and flipping component 6 is used to grip multiple bottles to be washed on the inlet conveyor belt 2 and flip the gripped bottles to be washed onto the washing table 4. The second gripping and flipping component 7 is used to grip the washed bottles on the washing table 4 and flip the gripped washed bottles onto the outlet conveyor belt 3.

[0020] The bottle inlet conveyor belt 2 and the bottle outlet conveyor belt 3 can be one or more sets of conveyor belts arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, the bottle inlet conveyor belt 2 consists of two sets of conveyor belts arranged in parallel, and the bottle outlet conveyor belt 3 also consists of two sets of conveyor belts arranged in parallel.

[0021] In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 8 includes a cleaning nozzle 81. The cleaning tank 5 has a through hole 51 at its center for the cleaning nozzle 81 to extend out. The cleaning nozzle 81 has a plurality of water spray holes 82. The bottom of the cleaning nozzle 81 has a water inlet pipe connected to the cleaning nozzle 81. The cleaning tank 5 has drain holes 52 around its perimeter.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first gripping and flipping assembly 6 and the second gripping and flipping assembly 7 have the same structure, both including a flipping arm 71, a bottle clamping plate 72, a first cylinder 73 for controlling the bottle clamping plates 72 to move closer or separate, and a flipping drive mechanism 74 for driving the flipping arm 71 to rotate. The first cylinder 73 is fixed on the flipping arm 71, and the telescopic end of the first cylinder 73 is connected to the bottle clamping plate 72. In this embodiment, there are two pairs of bottle clamping plates 72, and three flipping arms 71 are spaced apart. The width of the middle flipping arm 71 is greater than the width of the two side flipping arms. The first cylinders 73 are respectively arranged at both ends of each flipping arm 71. The first cylinders 73 on the two side flipping arms 71 are dual-axis unidirectional cylinders, and the first cylinders 73 on the middle flipping arm 71 are dual-axis bidirectional cylinders. This allows control of the opening and closing of the two pairs of bottle clamping plates 72 to clamp the bottle.

[0023] In this embodiment, the flipping drive mechanism 74 includes a rotating shaft 741, a worm gear 743, a worm 744, and a drive motor 742. One end of the flipping arm 71 is fixed to the rotating shaft 741. Both ends of the rotating shaft 741 are rotatably connected to bearings installed on both sides of the washing table 4. One end of the rotating shaft 741 is connected to the worm gear 743, and the worm 7444 meshes with the worm gear 743. The drive motor 742 is connected to the worm 744. The worm gear 743 and the worm 744 are both located inside the housing, and the worm 744 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing. During flipping, the drive motor 742 controls the worm 4 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 743 to rotate the rotating shaft 741, which in turn drives the flipping arm 71 to flip.

[0024] In this embodiment, a bottle-blocking mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the bottle-feeding conveyor belt 2. The bottle-blocking mechanism 9 includes an L-shaped bottle-blocking rod and a second cylinder 92 that controls the extension and retraction of the L-shaped bottle-blocking rod 91. A counting sensor 93 is provided above the L-shaped bottle-blocking rod 91. The extension and retraction of the L-shaped bottle-blocking rod 91 is controlled by the second cylinder 92 to block the bottle or allow the bottle to pass.

[0025] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] The bottle inlet conveyor belt 2 transports bottles to be cleaned. When the counting sensor 93 detects that the number of bottles to be cleaned has reached the preset number, the second cylinder 92 controls the L-bar bottle rod 91 to extend to block the subsequent bottles to be cleaned. At this time, the preset number of bottles to be cleaned reaches the clamping station.

[0027] The bottle clamping plate 72 of the first gripping and flipping assembly 6 flips to above the bottle inlet conveyor belt 2, and controls the bottle clamping plates 72 to move closer together to clamp the bottles to be cleaned. Then, by flipping, the bottles to be cleaned are placed upside down on the cleaning tank 5. At this time, the cleaning nozzle 81 extends into the bottles to be cleaned and cleans them. When the previous group of bottles is gripped, flipped, and placed upside down on the cleaning tank 5, the second cylinder 92 controls the L-position bottle rod to retract, so that the next group of cleaned bottles is conveyed to the gripping station to wait. When the cleaning is finished, the first gripping and flipping assembly 6 controls the bottle clamping plates 72 to move away from each other, and then flips and resets to grip the next group of bottles to be cleaned.

[0028] The bottle clamping plate 72 of the second gripping and flipping component 7 is flipped above the washing table 4, and the bottle clamping plates 72 are controlled to move closer together to clamp the cleaned bottle. Then, the cleaned bottle is flipped onto the bottle outlet conveyor belt 3 by flipping. The above operation is repeated until the cleaning is completed.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
