Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of filling machine technology, and in particular relates to a broken bottle washing device for filling machines. Background Technology

[0002] During the filling process of carbonated glass bottles such as beverages and beer, bottle explosions can occur due to significant damage to the surface of recycled bottles or a cylinder back pressure slightly exceeding the bottle's pressure tolerance. Broken bottle fragments scatter near the filling valve, especially on the valve's centering cover, directly affecting secondary filling. Additionally, some bottle bottoms that fall onto the bottle-supporting cylinder need to be flushed away to prevent them from entering the outlet area; excessive accumulation can lead to collisions. Therefore, high-pressure water flushing is necessary to remove the glass fragments.

[0003] Currently, while existing bottle rinsing devices can remove most glass shards, they still have the following drawbacks: These devices are typically fixed rinsing structures, but since the filling valve changes height with the bottle, the existing rinsing devices cannot move up and down with the valve, resulting in poor rinsing performance. Furthermore, due to the high hygiene requirements of the filling valve, the rinsing water is generally filtered RO water, minimizing prolonged contact between the water and air in the nozzle pipe. However, existing bottle rinsing devices use pipe-type nozzles that reduce the water outlet cross-section by changing the pipe shape to achieve a nozzle-like function. This leads to a tendency for the pipe between the valve and the nozzle to become empty. If water remains between the nozzle and the valve, even with a small nozzle orifice, the rinsing water will still be contaminated by bacteria in the environment if there is no rinsing action for a long time. Therefore, there is an urgent need to research and develop a bottle rinsing device for filling machines to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1: Please see Figure 1As shown, this utility model is a bottle rinsing device for a filling machine, including a water supply pipe 1; the water supply pipe 1 includes a horizontal section 101 and a vertical section 102 integrally formed on one end of the horizontal section 101; three first water spray pipes 2 are vertically fixed side by side along the length direction of the horizontal section 101; three second water spray pipes 3 are vertically arranged side by side along the length direction above the other end of the horizontal section 101; multiple nozzles 4 are connected side by side to each of the three first water spray pipes 2 and the three second water spray pipes 3; the lower ends of the three second water spray pipes 3 are connected to each other through a branch pipe 5 with a "mountain" shaped structure, that is, the lower ends of the three second water spray pipes 3 are respectively connected to the three upper ends of the branch pipe 5. The two branch pipes 5 and the other end of the horizontal section 101 are connected by a pipe assembly 6. The upper ends of the two second water spray pipes 3 that are furthest apart are fixed to the control ring of the filling machine by positioning components 7. The nozzle 4 on the lower end of the middle second water spray pipe 3 is inclined upward, and the nozzle 4 on the upper end of the middle second water spray pipe 3 is inclined downward. Specifically, the set of nozzles 4 on the middle second water spray pipe 3 is as close as possible to the filling valve and is specifically responsible for rinsing the bottle mouth gasket inside the centering cover to avoid the bottle mouth gasket not being cleaned due to the angle of the nozzle 4. In addition, the spray angle of the nozzle 4 can be adjusted at will according to the usage requirements. In use, the filling valve is rotated one revolution, and RO water is transported through the vertical section 102 to the horizontal section 101. The horizontal section 101 then transports the RO water to the first spray pipe 2. The nozzle 4 on the first spray pipe 2 sprays the RO water onto the bottle-holding mechanism of the filling machine. At the same time, the horizontal section 101 transports the RO water to the second spray pipe 3 through the pipe assembly 6 and the branch pipe 5. The nozzle 4 on the second spray pipe 3 sprays the RO water onto the filling valve, thereby rinsing the bottle-holding mechanism and the filling valve 4 of the filling machine. This effectively removes glass shards and ensures the rinsing efficiency and effect of the filling machine. In addition, since the upper ends of the two second spray pipes 3 that are furthest apart are fixed to the control ring of the filling machine by the positioning assembly 7, the positioning assembly 7 drives the second spray pipes 3 to move up and down during the lifting and lowering of the control ring of the filling machine. At the same time, the pipe assembly 6 and the branch pipe 5 can also continuously supply RO water to the second spray pipes 3, effectively ensuring the use effect and stability of the second spray pipes 3.

[0020] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, to facilitate the installation of the second water spray pipe 3, the positioning assembly 7 is designed to include a second positioning plate 702 and a first positioning plate 701, which are horizontally positioned on the upper and lower sides of the control ring of the filling machine, respectively. The second positioning plate 702 and the first positioning plate 701 are connected by conventional bolts 703. One edge of the first positioning plate 701 is bolted to the upper end of the second water spray pipe 3. In use, by horizontally positioning the second positioning plate 702 and the first positioning plate 701 on the upper and lower sides of the control ring of the filling machine, and then connecting the second positioning plate 702 and the first positioning plate 701 with bolts 703, the second water spray pipe 3 is stably connected to the control ring of the filling machine, ensuring the lifting effect of the second water spray pipe 3.

[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 2As shown, conventional pipe-type nozzles reduce the water outlet cross-section by changing the shape of the pipe to achieve a similar function to a nozzle. This leads to a tendency for the pipe to become empty between the valve and the nozzle. If water remains inside the space between the nozzle and the valve, even if the nozzle orifice is small, the rinsing water will still be contaminated by bacteria in the environment if there is no spraying for a long time. Therefore, to avoid the above problems, the nozzle 4 is designed to include a support sleeve 401. One end of the support sleeve 401 is a closed structure, and a water inlet 402 is provided on the circumferential side wall of one end of the support sleeve 401. The water inlet 402 is connected to the first spray pipe 2 or the second spray pipe 3. A sealing gasket 408 is provided inside the inlet 402; the sealing gasket 408 can ensure the sealing connection between the inlet 402 and the first spray pipe 2 (or the second spray pipe 3); a pressure sleeve 403 is fitted on the other end of the support sleeve 401; the pressure sleeve 403 and the support sleeve 401 are threaded together; a nozzle 404 is coaxially fixed to the end of the pressure sleeve 403 away from the support sleeve 401; a guide sleeve 405 is coaxially inserted into the pressure sleeve 403; the end of the guide sleeve 405 near the nozzle 404 abuts against the inlet end of the nozzle 4041; the end of the guide sleeve 405 away from the nozzle 404 is inserted into the support sleeve 401. Inside the support sleeve 401; the guide sleeve 405 is threadedly fitted to the support sleeve 401; a steel ball 406 is provided inside the guide sleeve 405; the diameter of the steel ball 406 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide sleeve 405; the steel ball 406 is connected to the end of the guide sleeve 405 near the nozzle 404 by a spring 407; the steel ball 406 can block the end of the guide sleeve 405 away from the nozzle 404; a second sealing washer 409 and a third sealing washer 410 are respectively provided at the two ends of the guide sleeve 405; one end face of the second sealing washer 409 abuts against the end of the guide sleeve 405 away from the nozzle 404; the second sealing washer 409... The inner edge of the 9 can abut against the outer wall of the steel ball 406; the opposite sides of the sealing gasket 409 are respectively in contact with the end of the guide sleeve 405 away from the nozzle 404 and the stepped surface of the support sleeve 401; the guide sleeve 405 is used to limit the distance, and the upper and lower parts are sealed tightly by the sealing gasket 409 and the sealing gasket 410 to prevent water leakage; the diameter of the steel ball 406 is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing gasket 409; the sealing gasket 410 is disposed between the guide sleeve 405 and the nozzle 404, and the opposite sides of the sealing gasket 410 abut against the guide sleeve 405 and the nozzle 404 respectively.In use, when the water pressure in the first spray pipe 2 or the second spray pipe 3 is less than the preload of the spring 407, the steel ball 406 abuts against the inner edge of the sealing gasket 409, causing a seal to form between the steel ball 406 and the sealing gasket 409, thus isolating the external environment and ensuring that the first spray pipe 2 and the second spray pipe 3 are always filled with water. This reduces the response time difference caused by empty pipes and also avoids problems such as bacterial contamination of the RO water in the first spray pipe 2 and the second spray pipe 3. When the water pressure in the first spray pipe 2 or the second spray pipe 3 is greater than the preload of the spring 407, the steel ball 406 and the sealing gasket 409 disengage, and the RO water is delivered from the gap between the steel ball 406 and the guide sleeve 405 to the nozzle 404, and then sprayed out from the nozzle 404 under high pressure, thereby flushing the bottle holding mechanism and filling valve of the filling machine and ensuring the flushing efficiency of the filling machine.

[0022] Example 3: Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, to ensure that RO water can be continuously supplied to the second water spray pipe 3 even when it is raised and lowered, the pipe assembly 6 is designed to include multiple U-shaped pipes 601. One end of one U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to one end of another U-shaped pipe 601 through a connector 602. The other end of the lowermost U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to the other end of the horizontal section 101, and the other end of the uppermost U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the branch pipe 5 through a connector 602. The connector 602 includes a rotary joint 6021 and a flange joint 6022 arranged coaxially. One end of the rotary joint 6021 is inserted into the flange joint 6022. The rotary joint 6021 and the flange joint 6022 can rotate relative to each other. A pressure ring 6023 and a retaining ring 6024 are sleeved side by side on the outer periphery of the rotary joint 6021. The pressure ring 6023, the retaining ring 6024 and the flange joint 6022 are connected by a stud 6. The rotary joint 6021 is connected to the retaining ring 6024 and the flange joint 6022. The pressure ring 6023 is located between the retaining ring 6024 and the flange joint 6022, and the surface of the pressure ring 6023 away from the retaining ring 6024 is in contact with the stepped surface of the rotary joint 6021. An elastic ring 6026 is provided inside the flange joint 6022. One surface of the elastic ring 6026 abuts against one end of the rotary joint 6021. The elastic ring 6026 is made of conventional polymer materials in the art and has a certain elasticity and self-lubricating properties to prevent jamming during the rotation of the rotary joint 6021 and the flange joint 6022. A rubber ring 6027 is sleeved on the outer periphery of one end of the rotary joint 6021. The rubber ring 6027 is located inside one end of the flange joint 6022. The rubber ring 6027 is mainly to prevent liquid leakage inside the pipeline. Similarly, the elastic ring 6026 made of polymer material is also to prevent hard friction between the rotary joint 6021 and the flange joint 6022, which would affect the rotation effect. In use, one end of a U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to the other end of another U-shaped pipe 601 via a connector 602. The other end of the lowermost U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to the other end of the horizontal section 101, and the other end of the uppermost U-shaped pipe 601 is rotatably connected to the middle of the branch pipe 5 via connectors 602. The RO water in the horizontal section 101 is transported to the branch pipe 5 through the U-shaped pipe 601 and connectors 602, thereby achieving continuous transport of RO water and effectively ensuring the transport efficiency of RO water.
