DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beverage container cleaning device capable of cleaning the interior of a beverage container such as a used can, bottle or bottle for reuse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As eating habits have become luxurious along with the improvement of living standards, in the field of beverages, the promotion of TV commercials and the spread of vending machines have made it easy not only at homes and workplaces but also outdoors. And they can buy and drink at any time. Some beverage containers, such as cans, bottles, and bottles, that have been drunk, are reused depending on the type, but are discarded outdoors or discarded as garbage for disposal.

[0003]

However, in the case of re-use, there is a problem of how to reduce the cost because of the cost for the re-use, and there is a limit in the separation and collection, and that time will come soon. It is clear.
In addition, it is still good to be separated and collected, but after drinking, it is often thrown away on the side of the road or in the vegetation, and among them, insects such as ants, bees and flies are swarming especially in containers with sweet taste. Therefore, I felt very inconvenience in hygiene and environment.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a beverage container cleaning device which can solve such inconveniences as much as possible and which can wash a beverage container after drinking using tap water with a simple operation. It will not be provided. Further, a large number of drain holes are formed in the bottom plate of the cleaning box, and a punching plate is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank to enable drainage.

[0005]

When the container to be washed is provided on the bottom of the washing box so as to cover the nozzle and is pushed, the concave groove is pushed and coincides with the flow hole, and the tap water supplied from the supply hose passes through the connection pipe. The container enters the groove through the flow hole, passes through the ejection hole through the through hole, and is ejected from the nozzle tip into the container at a considerable pressure, and the inside of the container is washed with the force. When the container is loosened after washing, the rod is pushed by the coil spring, the groove moves, and the rod moves out of the flow hole. The outer periphery of the rod body is provided with O-rings at several places to prevent leakage. Close the flow hole and stop running water. Tap water spouted at the time of washing is discharged from the drain hole without being collected in the container, temporarily stored in the tank, and discharged from the drain hose through the connection hose. As described above, the containers can be easily washed one after another by using the pressure of the tap water, and the washing operation can be performed with ease without splashing of the tap water due to the washing conditions.
