The inner bottom of the second bottle receiving cylinder is provided with a concave hole for the mouth of the empty bottle to extend into.

[0039] The working process of the present invention is as follows: first, empty bottles are placed in the bottle storage box 1-2, and the mouths of the bottles are all facing the first conveyor. When the work starts, the bottle blocking device 1-4 is opened. After a bottle flows out, the bottle blocking device 1-4 is closed, and the bottle falls into the arc-shaped bottle receiving groove 1-3-3 on the guide seat 1-3-1. Then, the guide seat driving member 1-3-4 drives the guide seat 1-3-1 to flip, and the bottle slides down along the guide plate 1-3-2 into the first bottle receiving cylinder on the first conveyor, and then is conveyed by the first The conveying mechanism delivers the bottle to the bottom of the bottle grabbing mechanism 4, and then the pneumatic three-jaw chuck 4-2-1 of the bottle clamping device clamps the bottle into the filling sleeve 5-2 of the filling mechanism 5 under the action of the lifting device 4-3 and the lateral movement device 4-4. Then the three-jaw driving device drives the pneumatic three-jaw chuck 4-2-1 to rotate, and the mouth of the empty bottle is threadedly connected to the connector 5-4. Then the pneumatic three-jaw chuck 4-2-1 retracts, and then the pressure head 5 of the vacuum device 5-3 is driven by the lifting device 4-3 and the lateral movement device 4-4. -3-1 moves to the top of the bottle, and then the pressure head lifting assembly 5-3-3 drives the pressure head 5-3-1 to extend into the bottle and rest against the bottom film of the bottle, and then the air outlet is evacuated to make the pressure head 5-3-1 suck the bottom film, and then the filling head 5-1 is filled with high pressure, and the pressure head 5-3-1 will move upward with the bottom film. When the pressure head 5-3-1 reaches the preset position, the filling is completed, and the filling head 5-1 stops filling, and then driven by the lifting device 4-3 and the lateral moving device 4-4, and in coordination with The pneumatic three-jaw chuck 4-2-1 clamps the filled bottle, and then the three-jaw driving device drives the three-jaw chuck to rotate in the opposite direction, unscrews the filled bottle from the connector 5-4, and places it in the second bottle receiving barrel on the second conveyor. Finally, the second conveyor sends the filled bottle to the next station to complete the automatic filling. The above process is used for automatic filling of high-density materials, with simple process, high equipment operation stability, high quality of the filled material, and no bubbles are generated inside the gel.

[0040] When filling materials with high density, high pressure is required for filling, and the bottle needs to be kept in a vacuum state due to the high density of the material. Therefore, a large number of manual operations are required on the normal assembly line. The bottle needs to be manually rotated to the filling port, and the filling button needs to be pressed for filling. After filling, the bottle needs to be manually unloaded and sent to the next station. This greatly increases the labor, production costs, and efficiency. Some manufacturers use some high-end robots or spider hands to complete some grabbing and positioning functions, but this also greatly increases the cost of the product and reduces profits. The fully automatic filling machine of this embodiment can effectively complete the automated transportation and filling of this special material (high-density thermal conductive gel), greatly improving production efficiency.

[0041] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
