[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:

[0032] A production device for a mixed beverage bottle includes a raw material filling mechanism and an aqueous solution filling mechanism.

[0033] The raw material filling mechanism includes a separable bottle cap filling conveyor line 16, and a separable bottle cap capping machine 13, a raw material filling machine 14, and a nitrogen filling capping machine 15 are sequentially connected on the separable bottle cap filling conveyor line. The separable bottle cap capping machine 13 is used to embed the inner bottle cap into the outer bottle cap and make the inner and outer bottle caps threadedly connected by spinning the inner bottle cap to form a separable bottle cap. After the separable bottle cap is formed, it is transported to the raw material filling machine 14 through the separable bottle cap filling conveyor line 16. The raw material filling machine 14 is used to fill the raw materials (i.e., ingredients, such as honey and fruit juice) into the internal storage cavity of the separable bottle cap. After filling, it is transported to the nitrogen filling capping machine 15 through the separable bottle cap filling conveyor line 16. The nitrogen filling capping machine 15 is used to fill nitrogen into the storage cavity inside the separable bottle cap and connect an ordinary bottle cap to the separable bottle cap by spinning to form a sealed whole. Subsequently, the separable bottle cap is transported to the end of the conveyor line through the separable bottle cap filling conveyor line 16.

[0034] The aqueous solution filling mechanism includes a beverage bottle filling and conveying line 31, on which there are successively connected a bottle blowing machine 21, a water filling machine 22, a cap transferring device 23, a capping machine 24, a laser coding machine 25, a vision rejection machine 26, a label sleeving machine 27, and a labeling machine 30. The bottle blowing machine 21 is used to produce the bottle body by blow molding; the water filling machine 22 is used to fill the aqueous solution into the bottle body; after filling the aqueous solution, the bottle body is conveyed to the cap transferring device 23 through the beverage bottle filling and conveying line 31 for cap transfer, so that the split cap is placed above the bottle mouth of the bottle body; after transfer, the capping machine 24 spins and assembles the split cap and the bottle body to connect the two to form a sealed whole; the laser coding machine 25 is used to engrave production information on the bottle body; the vision rejection machine 26 is used to reject unqualified products through image analysis; the label sleeving machine 27 is used to sleeving an annular plastic label onto the bottle body; the labeling machine 30 is used to stick the label paper onto the bottle body.

[0035] Preferably, in order to better sleeve the annular plastic label onto the bottle body, the beverage bottle filling and conveying line 16 is provided with a steam shrinkage furnace 28 and a drying machine 29, and the steam shrinkage furnace 28 and the drying machine 29 are connected between the label sleeving machine 27 and the labeling machine 30. The steam shrinkage furnace 28 is used to generate high-temperature steam to heat-shrink the annular plastic label and firmly stick it to the bottle body; the drying machine 29 is used to evaporate the steam and water stains on the bottle body by hot air blowing.

[0036] The end of the split cap filling and conveying line 16 is connected to the cap transferring device 23 of the beverage bottle filling and conveying line. The cap transferring device 23 includes a support frame 52 and a driving component. The driving component is connected to the top of the support frame 52, and the driving component is connected with a transferring component for transferring the cap.

[0037] The top of the support frame 52 is connected with a support plate 53. The top of the support plate 53 is provided with a guide rail 55 and a rack 54 on one side of the guide rail. The guide rail 55 and the rack 54 are arranged in parallel.

[0038] The driving component includes a transfer seat 56. The transfer seat 56 is slidably connected to the guide rail 55. A transfer motor 58 is fixedly connected to the transfer seat 56. The output shaft of the transfer motor is fixedly connected with a motor wheel 57. The motor wheel 57 meshes with the rack 54. One end of the transfer seat 56 is provided with a connecting frame 59, and the connecting frame 59 is connected to the transferring component.

[0039] The transferring component includes a lifting cylinder 61 and a transfer plate 60. The top of the lifting cylinder 61 is connected to the connecting frame 59. The output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the transfer plate 60. A plurality of suction cups 64 are provided on the bottom surface of the transfer plate.

[0040] Preferably, in order to make the upper cover transfer device 23 work more stably, a base 51 is connected to the bottom of the support frame 52.

[0041] It further includes a packaging mechanism, and the packaging mechanism includes a case packing conveyor line 47. An unpacking machine 41, a case packing machine 42, a case sealer 43, a strapping machine 44, a coding machine 45, and a palletizing device 46 are successively arranged on the case packing conveyor line 47. The case packing machine 42 of the case packing conveyor line is connected to the end of the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31. The unpacking machine 41 is used to reopen and fold the folded carton into shape; the case packing machine 42 is used to pack the beverage bottles conveyed by the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31 into the carton; the case sealer 43 is used to seal the carton with adhesive tape; the strapping machine 44 is used to bundle and pack the carton with straps; the coding machine 45 is used to spray production information on the outer side wall of the carton; the palletizing device 46 is used to carry the carton to the pallet by an automated robotic arm and stack it in a pallet, so as to facilitate outbound.

[0042] During the operation of the equipment, each device in the raw material filling mechanism forms a split cap through assembly and filling, and is conveyed to the upper cover transfer device 23 through the split cap filling conveyor line 16; the aqueous solution filling mechanism forms a bottle body filled with an aqueous solution through the bottle blowing machine 21 and the water filling machine 22, and is conveyed to the upper cover transfer device 23 through the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31. As Figure 5 - Figure 6 shown, the support frame 52 of the upper cover transfer device 23 is arranged on both sides of the split cap filling conveyor line 16 and the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31. The top of the support frame 52 is connected to a support plate 53, and the support plate 53 spans across the tops of the split cap filling conveyor line 16 and the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31. Since a transfer seat 56 and a transfer motor 58 are arranged on the top of the support plate 53, and the motor wheel 57 of the transfer motor 58 meshes with the rack 54, when the transfer motor 58 operates, the transfer seat 56 makes a linear reciprocating motion on the guide rail 55; since one end of the transfer seat 56 is connected to a connecting frame 59 and a transfer assembly, the transfer assembly reciprocates between the split cap filling conveyor line 16 and the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31 under the drive of the transfer seat 56; since the output end of the lifting cylinder of the transfer assembly is connected to a transfer plate 60, under the action of the lifting cylinder, the transfer plate 60 and the suction cup 64 connected to the bottom of the transfer plate 60 make a vertical lifting motion. Specifically, the suction cup 64 adopts a vacuum suction cup.

[0043] When the cap pallet 62 is conveyed from the end of the cap separating and filling conveyor line 16, the transfer plate 60 stays above the cap pallet 62 driven by the transfer motor 58, and under the drive of the lifting cylinder 61, the transfer plate 60 descends, so that the suction cup 64 stays on the surface of the separable cap on the cap pallet 62, and the separable cap is adsorbed by the suction cup 64. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 61 drives the transfer plate 60 to rise, and while rising, the transfer motor 58 operates, so that the transfer plate 60 reaches above the bottle body pallet 63. Similarly, the lifting cylinder drives the transfer plate 60 to descend, so that the separable cap adsorbed by the suction cup 64 stays above the bottle body, and then the suction cup stops working, and the separable cap falls into the bottle mouth of the bottle body.

[0044] The bottle body pallet 63 equipped with the separable cap and the bottle body is conveyed by the beverage bottle filling conveyor line 31 to reach the capping machine 24, thereby completing the spin-on assembly and making the beverage bottle form a sealed whole. Subsequently, the beverage bottle undergoes labeling, packing, and palletizing by subsequent equipment to complete the production and outbound work.

[0045] The present invention also includes a production method of a mixed beverage bottle, including using the production equipment of the above-mentioned mixed beverage bottle, and the method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: The capping machine performs spin-on assembly on the inner and outer caps to form a separable cap;

[0047] Step 2: The raw material filling machine fills the separable cap with raw materials;

[0048] Step 3: The blow molding machine blow-molds the bottle body;

[0049] Step 4: The water filling machine fills the bottle body with an aqueous solution;

[0050] Step 5: The cap transfer device transfers the separable cap to the bottle body, and the capping machine assembles the cap and the bottle body;

[0051] Step 6: The outer packaging of the bottle body is made, and then it is packed and palletized.

[0052] Among them, in order to improve production efficiency, Step 3 is executed synchronously with Step 1.

[0053] Among them, Step 2 also includes that the nitrogen filling capping machine fills nitrogen into the separable cap.

[0054] Among them, the outer packaging production in Step 6 includes laser coding of the bottle body, sleeving labels on the bottle body, and sticking labels on the bottle body; the packing and palletizing include opening boxes, packing, sealing boxes, bundling the boxes, spraying codes on the boxes, and palletizing.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and the specification of the present invention.
