Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spray bottle technology, specifically a rapid wetting and drying device for spray bottles. Background Technology
[0002] Before filling, the inner wall of the spray bottle needs to be disinfected by solvent immersion (such as 75% alcohol). This is mainly to effectively kill any bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that may remain in the bottle through the bactericidal effect of alcohol, preventing these pathogens from contaminating the liquids to be filled later (such as disinfectant, medicine, etc.), thereby ensuring the hygiene and safety of the product after filling, avoiding secondary contamination caused by unclean containers, and ensuring the effectiveness and safety during use.
[0003] In existing technologies, spray bottles need to be manually inverted and immersed in a soaking tank (30-60 seconds), then naturally drained (2-3 minutes), and then transferred to an oven to air dry (5-10 minutes). Manual transfer is required between processes, and the processing cycle for a single bottle exceeds 8 minutes, which is difficult to meet the needs of mass production. At the same time, traditional ovens use hot air to blow the entire bottle, and the narrow opening of the spray bottle (3-5mm in diameter) leads to poor airflow exchange inside the bottle, and "liquid film residue" is easily formed on the inner wall (especially at the bottom corner of the bottle). The residual liquid can easily cause deterioration when mixed with the subsequent filling materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid soaking and drying device for spray bottles, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that traditional spray bottle processing requires manual inverting for soaking, draining, and oven drying, as well as manual transfer between processes, and that processing a single bottle takes more than 8 minutes, making it difficult to meet mass production needs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid wetting and drying device for spray bottles, including a workbench with an electromechanical box installed at its lower part. The electromechanical box is equipped with a drive motor and a rotating mechanism driven by the drive motor. The output end of the rotating mechanism extends upward through the workbench and is fixedly connected to a bearing turntable.

The lifting end of each vertical lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to a horizontal extension plate. A fixing mechanism for clamping spray bottles is provided at the bottom of the horizontal extension plate. Four workstations are evenly distributed around the circumference of the workbench. Two workstations arranged opposite each other are wetting workstations, each with a wetting tank fixed to the upper part of the workbench. The other two workstations arranged opposite each other are wind erosion workstations, each with a vortex jet nozzle fixed to the upper part of the workbench. A support is fixed to the bottom of the workbench, and a high-pressure blower is installed on the support. The high-pressure blower is connected to the input end of the vortex jet nozzle through a rigid air supply pipe to deliver compressed air.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the surface of the workbench is provided with a drainage groove and is located at the wind erosion work station, and the vortex jet nozzle is located at the center of the drainage groove.
[0011] Based on the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the bottom of the inner cavity of the immersion tank is provided with a grid-like support frame, the upper surface of the support frame is distributed with hemispherical protrusions, and the side wall of the tank is provided with a visible liquid level window.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The rotary four-station design (two immersion + two air drying) enables synchronous operation, which increases the processing capacity per unit time compared with the traditional single-station serial processing, and station switching does not require manual intervention. 2.

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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a rapid soaking and drying device for spray bottles, including a workbench 1 with an electromechanical box 2 installed at its lower part. A drive motor 3 and a rotating mechanism driven by the drive motor 3 are installed on the electromechanical box 2. The output end of the rotating mechanism extends upward through the workbench 1 and is fixedly connected to a carrying turntable 4. At least four sets of vertical lifting mechanisms are arranged along the circumferential direction on the upper surface of the carrying turntable 4. The lifting end of each vertical lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to a horizontal extension plate 5. A fixing mechanism for clamping the spray bottle is provided at the bottom of the horizontal extension plate 5. The workbench 1... Four workstations are evenly distributed around the circumference of the worktable 1. Two of these workstations are immersion workstations, each equipped with an immersion tank 6 fixed to the upper part of the worktable 1. The other two workstations are wind erosion workstations, each equipped with a vortex jet nozzle 7 fixed to the upper part of the worktable 1. A support member 8 is fixed to the bottom of the worktable 1, and a high-pressure blower 9 is mounted on the support member 8. The high-pressure blower 9 is connected to the input end of the vortex jet nozzle 7 through a rigid air delivery pipe 29 to deliver compressed air. This device adopts a rotary multi-station design and is driven by electromechanical means and airflow. The system controls the automated wetting and drying of spray bottles. Core functions include precise station switching, vertical lifting and clamping, uniform wetting solution coverage, and efficient vortex airflow drying. The electromechanical box 2 (made of carbon steel with powder-coated surface) is installed under the workbench 1, and an external drive motor 3 (model 80ST-M02430) and frequency converter are mounted. The drive motor 3 achieves stepless speed adjustment via frequency converter control. The rotating mechanism drives the carrier turntable 4 to rotate intermittently, enabling station switching and ensuring the continuity of the processing flow. The vertical lifting mechanism drives the horizontal extension... The vertical movement of the extension plate 5 enables the lifting and lowering control of the spray bottle. The horizontal extension plate 5 is used to support the fixing mechanism and extends to the work area. Through clamping and positioning functions, it adapts to different specifications of spray bottles and keeps them stable. The wetting tank 6 is used to store the wetting liquid and ensure that the wetting liquid evenly covers the inside of the spray bottle. The vortex jet nozzle 7 converts the compressed airflow into vortex airflow, enhances the airflow penetration, and efficiently blows away residual droplets on the inner wall of the spray bottle. The high-pressure blower 9 provides compressed airflow and meets different wind speed requirements through pressure adjustment. The rigid air supply pipe 29 ensures the stability of the airflow.
[0017] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: The rotating mechanism includes a bearing seat 10 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the electromechanical housing 2. A support rod 11 is rotatably connected inside the bearing seat 10, and the end of the support rod 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bearing turntable 4. A bearing seat 2 12 is installed on the inner wall of the electromechanical housing 2. A worm gear 13 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 3 is rotatably connected inside the bearing seat 2 12. A worm wheel 14 is installed on the outer wall of the support rod 11, and the worm gear 13 meshes with the worm wheel 14. The bearing seat 10 (model UCP205, with a sealing ring) is fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the electromechanical housing 2, and the support rod 11... 1 serves as the rotating shaft supporting the turntable 4, with its end rigidly connected to the turntable surface (bolted fastened) to transmit rotational torque. Bearing housing 2 12 (model UCF206) is installed on the inner wall of the electromechanical box 2, and internally connected to the worm gear 13. One end of the worm gear 13 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 3 through a coupling, converting the rotational motion of the motor into the helical motion of the worm gear 13. Power is transmitted to the worm wheel 14 through the worm gear 13. At the same time, the self-locking characteristic of the worm wheel 14 and the worm gear 13 (the worm gear 13 can drive the worm wheel 14, but the worm wheel 14 cannot drive the worm gear 13 in the opposite direction) is used to prevent the turntable from rotating accidentally.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The lifting mechanism includes a bracket 15 fixedly connected to the upper part of the bearing turntable 4. A rotary motor 16 is installed at the upper end of the bracket 15. The output shaft of the rotary motor 16 is connected to a downwardly extending lead screw 17. The threaded section of the lead screw 17 is threadedly connected to a drive plate 18. The side end of the drive plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side end of the horizontal extension plate 5. The bracket 15 (made of aluminum alloy) is fixedly connected to the upper part of the bearing turntable 4. The upper end of the bracket 15 is equipped with a rotary motor 16 (model 57BYGH30-1700A). The output shaft of the rotary motor 16 is connected to the lead screw 17 (made of stainless steel) through a coupling, converting the rotation of the motor into the helical motion of the lead screw 17. The rotary motor 16 provides lifting power. The drive plate 18 is moved up and down by forward and reverse rotation. A threaded hole is opened in the center of the drive plate 18 (made of carbon steel) and threadedly connected to the lead screw 17. When the lead screw 17 rotates, the drive plate 18 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 17, driving the horizontal extension plate 5 to rise and fall.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the lifting mechanism also includes a slide rail 19 disposed on the vertical side wall surface of the bracket 15, a slider 20 is slidably connected on the slide rail 19, the connecting surface of the slider 20 is fixedly connected to the side end of the drive plate 18, the slide rail 19 (model HGW15CA) is installed on the vertical side wall of the bracket 15, and the slider 20 restricts the drive plate 18 to move only along the axial direction of the lead screw 17, eliminating rotational offset and ensuring lifting stability.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The fixing mechanism includes a support plate 21 fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal extension plate 5. A screw 22 is internally threaded onto the support plate 21. A knob 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 22, and a clamping block 24 is rotatably connected to the other end of the screw 22. A V-groove 25 is provided in the clamping block 24, and a rubber sheet is provided in the V-groove 25. The support plate 21 (made of stainless steel) is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal extension plate 5 and has a threaded hole inside, forming a helical drive with the screw 22. One end of the screw 22... The fixed knob 23 (with knurled surface) is rotatably connected to the clamping block 24 via a thrust ball bearing. When the knob 23 is rotated, the screw 22 moves axially, driving the clamping block 24 to clamp or release the spray bottle. The clamping block 24 (made of polyoxymethylene) has a V-groove 25 with a rubber sheet attached inside. The V-groove 25 automatically adapts to spray bottles of different diameters. The rubber sheet provides friction and prevents scratches on the bottle. The screw 22 provides adjustable clamping force to ensure that the spray bottle remains stable and does not fall off during rotation and lifting.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a draining groove 26 is provided on the surface of the workbench 1 and is located at the wind erosion station. The vortex jet nozzle 7 is located at the center of the draining groove 26. The draining groove 26 is located at the wind erosion station. The vortex jet nozzle 7 (model FX-50) is installed at the center of the draining groove 26. When the airflow is sprayed, the residual droplets are blown into the groove. The vortex design makes the airflow form a spiral path, prolonging the action time and improving the drying efficiency.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The bottom of the inner cavity of the immersion tank 6 is provided with a grid-like support frame 27. The upper surface of the support frame 27 is distributed with hemispherical protrusions. The side wall of the tank is provided with a visible liquid level window 28. The grid structure separates the spray bottle from the bottom of the tank, avoiding direct contact between the bottle and the impurities or undissolved chemical substances (such as disinfectant crystals) deposited at the bottom of the tank. The hemispherical protrusions disperse the contact points between the spray bottle and the support frame 27, reducing the contact area and promoting liquid flow, avoiding local immersion dead corners. The visible liquid level window 28 allows for real-time observation of the liquid level height, facilitating timely replenishment or replacement of the immersion liquid (such as disinfectant) by the operator, ensuring that the liquid concentration and liquid level height are consistent each time immersion, and avoiding insufficient immersion due to insufficient liquid level.
[0023] Working principle: The drive motor 3 inside the electromechanical box 2 (carbon steel powder coating) is started by the frequency converter, which drives the worm gear 13 to mesh with the worm wheel 14 on the outer wall of the support rod 11, thereby driving the support rod 11 and the bearing turntable 4 to rotate intermittently and realize precise switching of four work positions. When the carrier turntable 4 rotates to the immersion station, the rotary motor 16 drives the lead screw 17 to rotate, and the drive plate 18 descends vertically along the slide rail 19 on the side wall of the bracket 15, driving the fixing mechanism at the bottom of the horizontal extension plate 5 to immerse in the immersion tank 6. The grid support frame 27 in the tank supports the spray bottle to prevent the bottle body from contacting impurities at the bottom of the tank. The visible liquid level window 28 displays the disinfectant liquid level in real time to ensure that the immersion liquid evenly covers the bottle. After immersion for 30-60 seconds, the rotary motor 16 reverses and lifts the horizontal extension plate 5. The spray bottle is removed from the liquid surface and drains naturally for 2-3 minutes. The carrier turntable 4 continues to rotate to the wind erosion station. The high-pressure blower 9 delivers compressed air to the vortex jet nozzle 7 through the rigid air supply pipe 29. The jet nozzle converts the straight airflow into a spiral vortex airflow, which penetrates the narrow bottle opening of the spray bottle and efficiently blows away the liquid film residue at the bottom corner of the bottle. At the same time, the draining tank 26 collects the blown-off droplets. During the process, the operator can rotate the knurled knob 23 of the fixing mechanism to drive the screw 22 to move axially along the threaded hole of the support plate 21, adjust the clamping force of the rubber sheet in the V-groove 25, adapt to different specifications of spray bottles and prevent the bottle body from being scratched.
