[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning module for a single-row bottle body shown includes a frame 1, a single-row bottle conveying channel 2 on the frame 1, a conveyor belt 3 on one side of the single-row bottle conveying channel 2 for driving the bottle body to rotate, and a brush assembly 4 on the other side of the single-row bottle conveying channel 2 for rotating downwards to brush the side wall of the bottle body. The conveyor belt 3 is mounted on a first mounting base 5, and the brush assembly 4 is mounted on a second mounting base 6. The second mounting base 6 is connected to a width adjustment component for driving the brush assembly 4 closer to or further away from the bottle body, and the second mounting base 6 is also provided with a height adjustment component for adjusting the height of the brush assembly 4.

[0028] While the bottle rotates, brush the side walls downwards to remove contaminants adhering to them. The bottle should rotate at least once to ensure thorough cleaning without any blind spots.

[0029] The distance between the brush and the side wall of the bottle can be adjusted by the width adjustment component, making it suitable for bottles of different diameters. The second mounting base 6 is also equipped with a height adjustment component for adjusting the height of the brush assembly. By adjusting the height distance between the brush and the side wall of the bottle, the brush can be positioned closer to the location where contaminants are most likely to adhere. During the unpacking process of the all-plastic film unpacking machine, the plastic film easily adheres to the bottle wall when the hot cutter cuts the film. The location where contaminants adhere to the bottle wall is located in the travel path of the hot cutter. This location is a specific location. Adjusting the height of the brush is beneficial for aligning to a specific height based on a specific front-end process. Furthermore, the height can also be adjusted for bottles of different heights. The structure is reasonable and can be adapted to bottles of different specifications.

[0030] The conveyor belt 3 is used to drive the bottle to rotate. The conveyor belt 3 is located close to the bottle body and contacts a large area of ​​the bottle wall to make the bottle rotate. The brush is used to clean the bottle body near the neck, that is, the path of the hot cutting blade of the unpacking machine. The conveyor belt 3 can drive bottles of different heights but with small height differences to rotate. Therefore, the height of the conveyor belt 3 usually does not need to be adjusted. The height and width of the brush assembly 4 can be adjusted based on the position of the conveyor belt 3, which is convenient for operation.

[0031] The cleaning module for a single-row bottle body disclosed in this application is a modular structure that can be disassembled and assembled by simply installing a first mounting base 5 and a second mounting base 6 on the frame 1. Components for realizing bottle rotation and brushing are respectively assembled on the first mounting base 5 and the second mounting base 6, and the distance between the first mounting base 5 and the second mounting base 6 is adjustable, making it suitable for different single-row bottle conveying environments and easy to disassemble and assemble for use in single-row bottle conveying systems that require cleaning.

[0032] Both ends of the conveyor belt 3 are connected to the first bottle guide plate 7. A second bottle guide plate 8 is provided below the brush assembly 4. The height of the second bottle guide plate 8 when it is below the brush assembly 4 is lower than the height of the second bottle guide plate 8 when it is in other positions. A single bottle conveying channel 2 is formed between the first bottle guide plate 7 and the second bottle guide plate 8.

[0033] The first guide plate 7 and the second guide plate 8 limit the conveying path of the bottle. The height of the guide plate 8 below the brush assembly 4 is reduced to avoid the guide plate affecting the brushing effect. At the same time, it can provide a limiting effect during brushing to prevent the bottle from tilting.

[0034] The first guide plate 7 and the second guide plate 8 are set on the bottle conveying mesh belt 26, and the distance between the first guide plate 7 and the second guide plate 8 is adjustable.

[0035] The spacing between the first guide plate 7 and the second guide plate 8 can be adjusted according to the bottle specifications. The position of the first guide plate 7 can be fixed, and the position of the second guide plate 8 can be adjusted based on the first guide plate 7 to complete the spacing adjustment. This is convenient for operation and can keep in line with the position adjustment of the brush assembly 4.

[0036] The front end of the single-row bottle conveying channel 2 is connected to the unpacking machine, and the rear end of the single-row bottle conveying channel 2 is connected to the bottle washing machine. A bottle sorting tray 9 is provided between the single-row bottle conveying channel 2 and the unpacking machine. A turntable assembly 29 and a dial wheel assembly 30 are provided between the bottle sorting tray 9 and the conveyor belt 3.

[0037] There is a bottom unpowered conveying section between the circular bottle-sorting tray 9 and the straight bottle conveying mesh belt 26. The bottles output from the bottle-sorting tray 9 are pushed by the turntable assembly 29 driven by the drive mechanism, ensuring that the bottles do not jam during the transition conveying and that the conveying is smoother. The dial wheel assembly 30 is an unpowered dial wheel, which is installed on the first mounting base 5. The dial wheel assembly 30 creates a gap between adjacent conveyed bottles through the dial block, so that when the bottle enters the side of the conveyor belt 3, it is not affected by the friction of other bottles on the side. The bottle can be smoothly rotated by the conveyor belt 3.

[0038] The width adjustment assembly includes a first handle 10, a connecting screw 11, a nut 12 fitted on the screw 11, a second mounting base 6 connected to the second mounting base 6, a first slide rail 13 on the frame 1, and the second mounting base 6 slidably connected to the first slide rail 13 via a first slider 14.

[0039] When the width needs to be adjusted, rotating the first handle 10 drives the screw 11 to rotate, thereby moving the nut 12 and the second mounting seat 6. The second mounting seat 6 moves on the first slide rail 13 via the first slider 14, ensuring linear movement and making the adjustment process more accurate. A locking element can also be provided between the first handle 10 and the screw 11, and adjustment can only be made by unlocking it, ensuring the stability of the equipment.

[0040] The second mounting base 6 is provided with a second slide rail 15, the second slide rail 15 is slidably connected to a second slider 16, the second slider 16 is connected to a brush mounting base 17, the brush mounting base 17 is connected to a height adjustment component, the height adjustment component includes a lifting screw 19, a locking member 18 is provided between the lifting screw 19 and the second mounting base 6, and the lifting screw 19 is connected to a second handle 20.

[0041] When height adjustment is required, the second handle 20 drives the lifting screw 19 to rotate. The locking member 18 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 19, thereby driving the second mounting base 6 to move on the slide rail via the second slider 16 to achieve height adjustment. The locking member 18 can be locked and fixed at a specific position of the lifting screw 19 to ensure that the position is fixed after adjustment. After the position is adjusted to the correct position, the second mounting base 6 can also be locked on the frame 1 by locking members at other positions to avoid operational risks.

[0042] The brush assembly 4 includes a connecting shaft 21, one end of which is connected to a first bearing seat 22, and the other end of which is detachably connected to a first drive assembly 23. The brush mounting seat 17 on the second mounting seat 6 has a mounting groove 24 along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21. The first bearing seat 22 is connected to the brush mounting seat 17 in the mounting groove 24 by a locking member.

[0043] After long-term use, the brush assembly 4 needs to be replaced. By releasing the locking device, the first bearing seat 22 can slide and fall off on the second mounting seat 6, and the connecting shaft 21 is disengaged from the first drive assembly 23, thereby allowing the brush assembly 4 to be removed from the second mounting seat 6 for replacement.

[0044] The conveyor belt 3 is connected to the second drive assembly 25, which is mounted on the first mounting base 5, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the first mounting base 5 as a whole.
