Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of yam and bird's nest porridge processing technology, specifically a filling device and method for processing yam and bird's nest porridge. Background Technology

[0002] A liquid filling machine is a device used to fill liquid products into containers. Bird's nest is a nest built by specific species of swiftlets, namely several species of swiftlets in the genus swiftlet, using saliva secreted by them combined with other substances. Yam and bird's nest porridge is a canned food, which requires filling equipment after processing.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN118458072A discloses a processing device and method for ready-to-eat bird's nest porridge, belonging to the field of bird's nest porridge processing technology. By connecting a packaging component and a filling component, the filling component fills the packaging bag with bird's nest porridge, and the packaging component seals the packaging bag. When the filling component fills the packaging bag with bird's nest porridge, it controls the sealing component to be in a closed state. After the filling component completes the filling process, it controls the sealing component to be in an open state. This allows the filling component to control the sealing component to work directly to seal the packaging bag after filling it, preventing the packaging bag filled with bird's nest porridge from being exposed to air for a long time.

[0004] In current technologies, the filling components directly fill the packaging bag during the filling process without quantitative dispensing before filling. Since the solid part of bird's nest porridge has a long strip structure, and the mixing of bird's nest and yam increases the viscosity of the porridge, the actual filling volume fluctuates significantly per unit time, relying solely on real-time flow control. However, high-viscosity fluids are easily affected by shear force and their flowability changes abruptly. The long strip solid further exacerbates the non-laminar flow state of the fluid movement, resulting in significant fluctuations in the actual filling volume per unit time.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a filling device and method for processing yam and bird's nest porridge. Summary of the Invention

By setting a sealing plate, the yam and bird's nest porridge mixture in the compressed material cylinder flows into the metering chamber through the discharge pipe. During the flow, the second cylinder is activated, and its output end drives the lifting frame upward, causing the sealing plate to disengage from the opening. The mixture flows through the opening of the partition plate to multiple metering cylinders. Simultaneously, a tapping mechanism is activated to accelerate the flow of the mixture until it fills the metering cylinder to a preset amount, which needs to be detected by a liquid level sensor. Feeding is stopped, and the second cylinder is activated, its output end driving the lifting frame downward.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a filling device for processing yam and bird's nest porridge includes a fixed frame 1. A material cylinder 2 is installed at the top of the fixed frame 1, and a discharge pipe 25 is connected and fixedly connected to the bottom of the material cylinder 2. One end of the discharge pipe 25 is connected and fixedly connected to a metering chamber 3. A side plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 1, and the metering chamber 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the side plate 11. A separating mechanism is provided inside the metering chamber 3. The separating mechanism includes multiple partitions 324 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metering chamber 3. Multiple metering cylinders 31 are evenly installed at the bottom of the metering chamber 3, and the partitions 324 cooperate with the metering cylinders 31. Each partition 324 has an opening. Each of the openings is slidably connected to a sealing plate 325. A lifting frame 323 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the sealing plates 325. The lifting frame 323 is slidably connected to the metering chamber 3. A mounting frame 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the metering chamber 3. A second cylinder 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 32. The output end of the second cylinder 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting frame 323. Two sliding rods 322 are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting frame 323, and both sliding rods 322 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 32. A tapping mechanism is provided on the outside of the metering chamber 3 to accelerate the flow of the bird's nest porridge. A pressurizing mechanism is provided inside the metering chamber 3 to facilitate the outflow of the bird's nest porridge.

[0023] In existing technologies, the filling components directly fill the packaging bag during the filling process without quantitative dispensing before filling. Since the solid part of bird's nest porridge has a long strip structure, and the mixing of bird's nest and yam increases the viscosity of the bird's nest porridge, the actual filling volume fluctuates significantly per unit time, relying solely on real-time flow control. However, high-viscosity fluids are easily affected by shear force and their flowability changes abruptly. The long strip solid further exacerbates the non-laminar flow state of the fluid movement, resulting in significant fluctuations in the actual filling volume per unit time.

[0024] The separating mechanism provided by this invention, in use, compresses the yam and bird's nest porridge mixture in the feed cylinder 2, causing it to flow into the metering chamber 3 through the discharge pipe 25. During the flow, the second cylinder 321 is activated, and the output end of the second cylinder 321 drives the lifting frame 323 upward, causing the sealing plate 325 to disengage from the opening. The mixture then flows through the opening of the partition plate 324 to multiple metering cylinders 31. Simultaneously, the tapping mechanism is activated to accelerate the flow of the mixture until it fills the metering cylinder 31 to a preset amount, which needs to be detected by the liquid level sensor 336. The feeding is then stopped, and the second cylinder 321 is activated, driving the lifting frame 323 upward through the output end of the second cylinder 321. 3. Moving downwards, the lifting frame 323 drives the sealing plate 325 downwards to seal the opening, completing a single quantitative feeding. During material feeding, the liquid level generally exceeds the metering cylinder 31 on one side of the sealing plate 325, and the bottom cross-section of the sealing plate 325 is set as a triangle to facilitate the cutting off of long strip-shaped solid materials at the opening, achieving effective separation. A solenoid valve is installed at the end of the discharge pipe 25 near the material cylinder 2 to facilitate the control of material flow within the material cylinder 2. Ball valves are installed at the bottom of each metering cylinder 31 to control the bottom of the metering cylinder 31 and prevent leakage. Additionally, by setting the opening, it is easy to connect the two sides of the partition plate 324, creating a connection and maintaining a consistent final material depth within the metering cylinder 31. like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tapping mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 35 fixed to the bottom of the side plate 11. A motor 351 is fixed to the top of the L-shaped plate 35, and a special-shaped gear 352 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 351. A rack 353 is provided on one side of the special-shaped gear 352, and a rubber rod 355 is fixed to one end of the rack 353 near the metering chamber 3. Two sliding rods 357 are fixed to the side wall of the rubber rod 355, and two fixed plates 356 are fixed to the bottom of the side plate 11. The sliding rods 357 slide on the fixed plates 356, and a second spring 358 is sleeved on the outer side of each sliding rod 357.

[0025] When using the tapping mechanism provided by this invention, the yam and bird's nest porridge is quite thick and flows slowly at the inlet. To increase the flow speed of the mixed materials, the motor 351 is turned on, and the output shaft of the motor 351 drives the special gear 352 to rotate. The special gear 352 drives the rack 353 to move to one side. When the special gear 352 starts to rotate, it meshes with the rack 353, which facilitates pushing the rack 353 to one side. As the special gear 352 rotates, it no longer meshes with the rack 353. The rack 353 loses the push from the special gear 352 and, under the action of the second spring 358, quickly moves to one side of the metering chamber 3. The rack 353 drives the rubber rod 355 to move, and the rubber rod 355 taps the metering chamber 3, accelerating the flow of materials and facilitating the circulation of materials.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, two limiting blocks 354 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plate 11. The limiting blocks 354 are respectively provided at both ends of the rack 353, and the rack 353 is slidably connected within the two limiting blocks 354.

[0027] When the limiting block 354 provided by the present invention is in use, the rack 353 slides within the limiting block 354 during the movement of the rack 353, and the limiting block 354 limits the movement of the rack 353 in the horizontal direction.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pressurizing mechanism includes a third cylinder 334 fixed to the side wall of the second cylinder 321 via a connecting plate. A lifting plate 33 is fixed to the output end of the third cylinder 334. Multiple connecting rods 331 are fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 33. All connecting rods 331 are slidably connected to the metering chamber 3. A push plate 335 is fixed to the bottom of each connecting rod 331. The outer wall of the push plate 335 is in contact with the inner wall of the metering chamber 3 and the partition 324. A horizontal plate 333 is fixed to the top of each of the multiple vertical rods 332. A liquid level sensor 336 is installed at the bottom of each push plate 335.

[0029] When the pressurizing mechanism provided by this invention needs to pressurize the metering chamber 3 and the metering cylinder 31, the third cylinder 334 needs to be activated. The output end of the third cylinder 334 drives the lifting plate 33 to move, which in turn drives the connecting rod 331 to move. The connecting rod 331 then drives the push plate 335 to move. The outer wall of the push plate 335 contacts the metering chamber 3 and the partition 324. During its downward movement, it can not only scrape off the viscous material on the surface of the metering chamber 3 and the partition 324, but also pressurize the material, facilitating the discharge of viscous material. The push plate 335 initially... Located at the top of the metering chamber 3, it does not affect the material supply and is equipped with a liquid level sensor 336 to facilitate monitoring of the liquid level in the metering cylinder 31 and the material inside the metering cylinder 31. A baffle is also fixed to the bottom of the push plate 335. When the liquid level sensor 336 detects that the liquid level has reached the set value, it will transmit a signal to the control system, which will open the third air cylinder 334 of the control system. The third air cylinder 334 drives the lifting plate 33, the connecting rod 331 and the push plate 335 to move. The push plate 335 drives the baffle to move, and the baffle immediately blocks one end of the discharge pipe 25 to stop the material conveying.

[0030] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each of the horizontal plates 333 has a movable tube 337 fixedly connected to its bottom. Each movable tube 337 has a push rod 338 slidably connected inside it. The diameter of the push rod 338 is the same as the inner diameter of the metering cylinder 31. A first spring 339 is fixedly connected between the top of the push rod 338 and the top inner wall of the movable tube 337. The top of the movable tube 337 is provided with a ventilation mechanism.

[0031] The push rod 338 provided by the present invention is used to push out the material in the metering cylinder 31. The final moving position of the horizontal plate 333 is above the metering cylinder 31. However, there is residual material inside the metering cylinder 31, which may make it inconvenient to discharge the material quickly. The air is vented into the movable tube 337 through the air ventilation mechanism. The push rod 338 is pushed downward by the air. The push rod 338 pushes the material in the metering cylinder 31 to be discharged. It is also convenient to scrape off the material on the inner wall of the metering cylinder 31 and discharge the material.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation mechanism includes an air tank 341 and a compressor 342 fixedly attached to the top of the side plate 11. The air tank 341 and the compressor 342 are connected by a hose. A ventilation pipe 34 is fixedly attached to the side wall of the metering chamber 3. The output end of the compressor 342 is connected to the ventilation pipe 34 by a hose. One end of a plurality of telescopic hoses 343 is connected to the ventilation pipe 34. The other end of each telescopic hose 343 passes through the top of the metering chamber 3 and connects to the top of the movable pipe 337.

[0033] When the ventilation mechanism provided by the present invention needs to be ventilated, the gas storage tank 341 inputs gas into the compressor 342 through the hose. The compressor 342 pressurizes the gas and then inputs it into the ventilation pipe 34 through the output end. The gas in the ventilation pipe 34 is input into the movable pipe 337 through the telescopic hose 343, thereby pushing the push rod 338 to move. After the material is unloaded, the push rod 338 quickly returns to its original position under the action of the first spring 339.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, two vertical rods 332 are fixedly connected to the top of each push plate 335, and the vertical rods 332 are slidably connected to the metering bin 3.

[0035] When the vertical rod 332 provided by the present invention is in use, during the movement of the push plate 335, one end of the push plate 335 drives the vertical rod 332 to move, and the vertical rod 332 slides on the metering chamber 3, thereby limiting the push plate 335 to move in the vertical direction.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, a first cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the material cylinder 2. The output end of the first cylinder 21 extends into the interior of the material cylinder 2 and is fixedly connected to a piston plate 23. The outer wall of the piston plate 23 is in close contact with the inner wall of the material cylinder 2. A feed pipe 22 is connected and fixedly connected to the side wall of the material cylinder 2 away from the metering chamber 3. A plug is inserted into the top of the feed pipe 22.

[0037] When the piston plate 23 provided by the present invention is in use, when the material cylinder 2 is discharging material, the first cylinder 21 is opened, and the piston plate 23 is driven to move through the output end of the first cylinder 21. During the movement, the piston plate 23 presses the material downward, which facilitates the discharge of the material. During the movement, the piston plate 23 scrapes against the inside of the material cylinder 2, pushing the viscous material on the inner wall of the material cylinder 2 downward, reducing material waste. When it is necessary to add material to the material cylinder 2, the piston plate 23 needs to be pushed to the top, and the material is added through the feed pipe 22, which facilitates the continuity of filling.

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, an annular bracket 24 is fixed to the outside of the material cylinder 2; an electromagnetic coil is embedded in the annular bracket 24, and a magnetic rod is provided inside the material cylinder 2. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field, which drives the magnetic rod to move.

[0039] When using the electromagnetic coil provided by this invention, the yam and bird's nest mixture needs to be mixed before feeding. By energizing the electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field is generated. The magnetic field drives the magnetic rod in the material cylinder 2 to move at high frequency, continuously stirring the material and preventing the long strip solids from settling and stratifying.

[0040] like Figure 9As shown, a filling method for processing yam and bird's nest porridge includes the following steps: S1: Feeding, the yam and bird's nest porridge mixture in the material cylinder 2 is compressed by driving piston plate 23, so that it flows into quantitative bin 3 through discharge pipe 25; S2: Quantitative dispensing. By driving the lifting frame 323 to move upward, the sealing plate 325 is disengaged from the opening, and the material flows through the opening of the partition plate 324 to multiple quantitative cylinders 31. When the quantitative cylinders 31 are filled to the preset amount, the lifting frame 323 moves downward to close the opening, completing a single quantitative dispensing. S3: By activating the tapping mechanism, the rubber rod 355 reciprocates, tapping the outer wall of the quantitative chamber 3, loosening the blockage, and completing the uniform flow of the yam and bird's nest porridge. S4: Pressurization and flow promotion: The lifting plate 33 is driven to press down, and the push plate 335 is pushed to stick to the inner wall of the quantitative bin 3 and the partition 324 through the connecting rod 331, so as to apply uniform pressure to promote the flow of materials; at the same time, the push rod 338 in the movable tube 337 is subjected to the elastic force of the first spring 339 and accurately abuts the bottom of the quantitative cylinder 31 to assist the complete discharge of materials. S5: Finally, the contents are filled into the packaging bottle and conveyed to the capping mechanism via a conveyor belt for capping and sealing.

[0041] Working principle: The yam and bird's nest porridge mixture in the compression cylinder 2 flows into the metering chamber 3 through the discharge pipe 25. During the flow, the second cylinder 321 is activated, and the output end of the second cylinder 321 drives the lifting frame 323 to move upward, causing the sealing plate 325 to disengage from the opening. The mixture flows through the opening of the partition plate 324 to multiple metering cylinders 31. At the same time, the tapping mechanism is activated to accelerate the flow of the mixture until the mixture fills the metering cylinder 31 to the preset amount, which needs to be detected by the liquid level sensor 336. The feeding is stopped, and the second cylinder 321 is activated, and the output end of the second cylinder 321 drives the lifting frame 323 to move downward. The lifting frame 323 drives the sealing plate 325 to move downward to seal the opening, completing the single metering. When the material is fed, the liquid level generally exceeds the metering cylinder 31 on one side of the sealing plate 325, and the bottom cross section of the sealing plate 325 is set as a triangle to facilitate the cutting of long strip solid materials at the opening, achieving effective separation.

[0042] The yam and bird's nest porridge is quite thick, and its flow rate at the opening is relatively slow. To increase the flow rate of the mixed materials, the motor 351 is turned on. The output shaft of the motor 351 drives the special gear 352 to rotate. The special gear 352 drives the rack 353 to move to one side. When the special gear 352 starts to rotate, it meshes with the rack 353, which makes it easier to push the rack 353 to one side. As the special gear 352 rotates, it no longer meshes with the rack 353. The rack 353 loses the push from the special gear 352 and, under the action of the second spring 358, quickly moves to one side of the metering chamber 3. The rack 353 drives the rubber rod 355 to move. The rubber rod 355 taps against the metering chamber 3, accelerating the flow of materials and facilitating the circulation of materials.

[0043] When pressurization is required in the metering hopper 3 and metering cylinder 31, the third cylinder 334 needs to be activated. The output end of the third cylinder 334 drives the lifting plate 33 to move, which in turn drives the connecting rod 331 to move. The connecting rod 331 then drives the push plate 335 to move. The outer wall of the push plate 335 contacts the metering hopper 3 and the partition 324. During its downward movement, it not only scrapes away the viscous material on the surface of the metering hopper 3 and the partition 324, but also pressurizes the material, facilitating the discharge of viscous materials. The initial position of the push plate 335 is in the metering hopper 3. The top of the metering cylinder 335 is installed to ensure uninterrupted material feeding and to facilitate monitoring of the liquid level within the cylinder. A baffle is fixed to the bottom of the push plate 335. When the liquid level sensor 336 detects that the liquid level has reached the set value, it transmits a signal to the control system. The control system then activates the third air cylinder 334, which in turn moves the lifting plate 33, connecting rod 331, and push plate 335. The push plate 335 then moves the baffle, which immediately blocks one end of the discharge pipe 25, stopping the material flow. Air is then introduced into the movable pipe 337 through the ventilation mechanism. This air pushes the push rod 338 downwards, causing the material in the metering cylinder 31 to be discharged. This also facilitates scraping off material from the inner wall of the metering cylinder 31.

[0044] When discharging material from the material cylinder 2, the first cylinder 21 is activated, which drives the piston plate 23 to move. During this movement, the piston plate 23 presses the material downwards, facilitating discharge. Simultaneously, the piston plate 23 scrapes against the inside of the material cylinder 2, pushing viscous material from the inner wall downwards, reducing waste. To add material to the material cylinder 2, the piston plate 23 is pushed to the top, and material is added through the feed pipe 22, ensuring continuous filling. Before feeding, the yam and bird's nest mixture needs to be mixed. By energizing an electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field is generated, driving the magnetic rods inside the material cylinder 2 to move at high frequency, continuously agitating the material and preventing the sedimentation and stratification of long, solid strips.
