The cleaning support seat 42 is arranged on the rack 1, and the cleaning driving mechanism 41 is in driving connection with the cleaning support seat 42 and is used for driving the cleaning support seat 42 to move integrally relative to the rack 1. The cleaning support base 42 may be provided with a brush 43, a shower head 44 and/or an air nozzle 45. For simultaneous cleaning of multiple bottles, multiple sets of brushes 43, showerheads 44 and/or air jets 45 may be provided on one or a pair of cleaning support pedestals 42, thus allowing for simultaneous actuation of the brushes 43, showerheads 44 and/or air jets 45 for cleaning multiple bottles.

The brush 43 can approach the bottle opening along with the movement of the cleaning support seat 42 after the bottle pressing head 35 presses the bottle opening, and brush the outer wall of the bottle 9 through the brush hairs when the bottle 9 rotates. The spray head 44 can approach the bottle opening along with the movement of the cleaning support seat 42 after the bottle pressing head 35 presses the bottle opening, and spray cleaning liquid to the outer wall of the bottle when the bottle 9 rotates. The air nozzle 45 can blow air to the outer wall of the bottle 9 after the washing is finished so as to accelerate the drying speed of the bottle body. In some embodiments, the showerhead 44 and the showerhead 45 may be positioned side-by-side or integrally, and the brushes 43 may be positioned on the underside of the showerhead 44 and the showerhead 45.

In the above-mentioned embodiment of the bottle washing apparatus of the present disclosure, part of the outer contour of the bottle 9 is substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and the mouth of the bottle is circular, for example, a square bottle for containing fermented bean curd. In other embodiments, the bottle 9 may have other shapes.

The operation of an example of a bottle washing apparatus is described below with reference to fig. 1-6.

Firstly, the bottles 9 containing semi-finished fermented bean curd are conveyed into the bottle washing equipment from the right side to the left side in fig. 1 through the conveying belt, the bottles 9 conveyed into the bottle washing equipment are clamped by the paired bottle clamping belts 51 and continue to translate to the positions of the corresponding rotating bases 3 along with the bottle clamping belts 51. The counter 61 counts the number of bottles 9 entering the gripper belt 51 and the interceptor 62 intercepts the bottles 9 that subsequently do not enter the bottle washing apparatus when a preset value is reached.

The pair of bottle holding belts 51 stops rotating after moving each bottle 9 above each rotating base 3 by rotating. Then, the bottle pressing frame 34 is driven by the bottle pressing driving mechanism 32 to move downwards, so that each bottle pressing head 35 is driven to press and press the bottle mouth of each bottle 9. The pair of bottle holding belts 51 is then moved away from each other to release the respective bottles 9 from being held. At this time, the cleaning support base 42 and the fur brush 43, the shower head 44 and the air nozzle 45 provided thereon are driven to move toward the respective bottles 9 by the cleaning drive mechanism 41. Then, the liquid spray valve associated with the spray head 44 is actuated, and the support table 25 of the rotating base 2 is rotated to rotate the bottle 9, so that the sprayed cleaning liquid can be uniformly sprayed on the outer wall of the bottle in the circumferential direction, and the brush 43 can wash the outer wall. The bottle is blown by rotating the bottle at least one turn, for example 20 turns, closing the liquid spray valve and opening the air spray valve associated with the air spray head 45 to dry the moisture, avoiding the moisture from flowing into the bottle after opening the bottle press head.

Then, the cleaning support base 42 is driven away from each bottle 9 by the cleaning driving mechanism 41, each bottle 9 is clamped by moving the pair of bottle clamping belts 51 toward each other, and the bottle pressing head 35 is driven to move upward by driving the bottle pressing frame 34 by the bottle pressing driving mechanism 32, so as to be disengaged from the bottle opening. Then, the bottles are successively conveyed to the left side gradually to the downstream conveying belt by the rotation of the bottle clamp belt 51. Simultaneously, another batch of bottles enters the bottle washing equipment for cleaning the next group.

Thus, various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail. Some details that are well known in the art have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure. It will be fully apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description how to practice the presently disclosed embodiments.
