[0002] Beer has many filling processes from brewing to selling. The brewing process of beer is always in a closed space, and the fermentation process will always produce carbon dioxide, which will increase the pressure in the closed space, thereby dissolving more carbon dioxide into the beer. During the filling process, the change of pressure, the friction between the beer and the pipeline, and the temperature change between the two containers will all cause the carbon dioxide in the beer to be released, thereby generating a large amount of foam. Pressure change is the biggest cause of foam, so the industry mostly uses isobaric filling technology to solve the problem of foam.

[0003] In the beer selling process, beer is filled from standard steel barrels into containers such as cups, jugs, etc., so that consumers can drink fresh beer. Or filled into bottles, cans, etc., so as to realize fresh beer selling.

Under the driving of the electric cylinder 21, the guide assembly moves upward, further driving the guide shaft 24 and the moving assembly 3 on which the container 4 is arranged or sleeved to move upward until the mouth of the container 4 is placed on the silica gel sealing gasket 11, and the silica gel sealing gasket 11 seals the mouth of the container 4.

[0039] Further, the electric cylinder 21 is fixed on the filling seat 1, the filling seat 1 is fixed on a fixed plate 29, both ends of the fixed plate 29 are sleeved on the guide shaft 24, and a guide sleeve 30 is further sleeved on the connection between the fixed plate 29 and the guide shaft 24, so as to further stabilize the movement of the guide shaft 24.

[0040] In the present application, the guide assembly comprises a guide shaft fixing plate 22 and a movable top plate 23. Both ends of the guide shaft fixing plate 22 are fixed on the top of the guide shaft 24, and the movable top plate 23 is fixed on the guide shaft fixing plate 22 through connecting members around the movable top plate 23. It is worth noting that the connecting members are not limited to fasteners such as plugs and screws.

[0041] Preferably, the connecting members below the guide shaft fixing plate 22 are sleeved with compression springs 26. The compression springs 26 can play a buffering role during the upward movement of the moving assembly 3.

[0042] Further, the electric cylinder 21 is provided with a push rod 211, the push rod 211 is fixed with the movable top plate 23 through the guide shaft fixing plate 22, so that the push rod 211 drives the movable top plate 23 to rise synchronously.

With the rising of the push rod 211, the photoelectric sensor 27 receives the signal of the inductive sheet 28, at this time the container port has reached the silica gel sealing gasket 11.

[0044] As Figures 4 to 5 In the embodiment one, the setting of the moving assembly 3 can realize the isobaric sealing and filling of the bottle-shaped containers with different capacities and different diameters. The embodiment provides an isobaric filling and sealing device which can be compatible with 38-diameter containers (with capacities from 500ml to 5000ml), 28-diameter containers (with capacities from 330ml to 2500ml) and 26-diameter containers, specifically:

[0045] The moving assembly 3 includes a bottle port hanging plate 31 and a clamping plate 32, both ends of the bottle port hanging plate 31 are fixed at the bottom of the guide shaft 24, and the clamping plate 32 is locked on the bottle port hanging plate 31.

[0046] Further, the bottle port hanging plate 31 is provided with a first positioning hole 301', and the clamping plate 32 is provided with a first positioning hole 301 at a corresponding position, and the positioning holes 301 (301') are locked through a detachable connecting piece after being aligned. For containers of different specifications, clamping plates 32 of appropriate sizes can be selected for use with the bottle port hanging plate 31.

[0047] Preferably, the bottle port hanging plate 31 and the clamping plate 32 are both provided with a U-shaped port 302 (302'), and in use, the bottle port of the container 4 is clamped at the U-shaped port 302 (302'), so as to ensure that the bottle port of the container 4 is on the same central axis as the filling seat 1.

[0048] Preferably, the U-shaped port 302' on the bottle port hanging plate 31 is larger than the U-shaped port 302 on the clamping plate 32, and in the embodiment, the U-shaped port 302' on the bottle port hanging plate 31 can place a 38-diameter container, and the U-shaped port 302 on the clamping plate 32 can be compatible with a 28-diameter and a 26-diameter container. In actual use, the U-shaped port 302 on the clamping plate 32 can be appropriately adjusted according to the diameter of the container, so as to facilitate the alignment of the bottle port of the container 4 with the center of the filling seat 1 during filling, and realize fast and effective sealing and filling.

[0049] As Figures 6 to 8In the embodiment two, the setting of the moving assembly 3 can be compatible with different specifications of cup-shaped containers, such as 55 caliber pop cans (with a capacity of 550 ml and 330 ml), German cups (with a capacity of 500 ml and 1000 ml), and the like.

[0050] The moving assembly 3 comprises a supporting plate 33 and a bottom support arranged on the supporting plate 33, and both ends of the supporting plate 33 are fixed to the bottom of the guide shaft 24.

[0051] Further, the center of the supporting plate 33 is provided with a second positioning hole 303, and the bottom of the bottom support is provided with a boss 304, which is embedded in the second positioning hole 303, so as to place the bottom support on the supporting plate 33. The setting of the positioning hole ensures that the cup-shaped container is aligned with the center of the filling seat 1 during filling. It should be noted that, in actual use, the bottom support with a suitable size can be designed according to different specifications of cup-shaped containers.

[0052] The present application realizes the sealing process as follows:

[0053] The container 4 is manually placed on or sleeved on the moving assembly 3, and then the electric cylinder 21 is driven, so that the push rod 211 moves upward, the movable top plate 23 fixed to the push rod 211 moves upward, the guide shaft fixing plate 22 and the guide shaft 24 are further moved upward, so that the moving assembly 3 fixed to the bottom of the guide shaft 24 moves upward together, until the container mouth on the moving assembly 3 is in contact with the silicone sealing gasket 11 at the bottom of the filling seat 1, and the silicone sealing gasket 11 seals the container mouth. With the upward movement of the push rod 211, the sealing force of the container mouth is greater, and when the extrusion force between the container mouth and the silicone sealing gasket 11 reaches a certain degree, the frame composed of the guide shaft fixing plate 22, the two guide shafts 24 and the moving assembly 3 cannot continue to move upward. When the frame cannot move, the movable top plate 23 continues to move upward against the pressure of the compression spring 26, until the sensing sheet 28 fixed to the movable top plate 23 contacts the photoelectric sensor 27, at which time the sealing force is the smallest. If a greater sealing force is required, the push rod 211 continues to move upward by a certain distance after the photoelectric sensor 27 receives the signal of the sensing sheet 28 for a period of time, so as to reach the maximum sealing force. This process realizes the controllable sealing force of the filling device, so that the bottle mouth is not easily leaked due to small force, and the silicone gasket or the container mouth is not easily damaged due to too large force.

[0054] The present application realizes the isobaric filling process, and the device is suitable for filling different types of containers with different specifications of foaming liquid. Taking beer filling as an example, the device is started, the silica gel sealing gasket 11 seals the bottle opening, the electromagnetic valve at the exhaust wine outlet 14 is closed, the electromagnetic valve at the carbon dioxide is opened, the carbon dioxide enters the container from the gas inlet wine inlet, when the pressure in the container reaches the pressure of the wine barrel, the electromagnetic valve of the carbon dioxide is closed, the electromagnetic valve of the wine barrel is opened, because the pressure of the wine barrel is equal to that of the container, the beer cannot flow to the container, the electromagnetic valve of the exhaust wine outlet 14 is opened, the carbon dioxide in the container is slowly discharged, because the pressure in the container is reduced, the beer is slowly injected into the container under the pressure of the beer in the wine barrel, and flows downward along the inner wall of the container. Because the pressure difference between the wine barrel and the container is maintained at a small and stable value, the beer filling process using the device will not produce a large amount of foam, thereby improving the efficiency of the beer, reducing the loss of wine, and improving the taste.

[0055] It is worth noting that the isobaric filling sealing device of the present application can have one or more devices arranged in the isobaric filling machine, which is commonly used for filling of gas-containing beverages such as beer, sparkling wine, etc.

[0056] It should be understood that for those skilled in the art, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description, and all these improvements and changes shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present application.

[0057] The above is an exemplary description of the present application in conjunction with the drawings, and it is obvious that the implementation of the present application is not limited to the above manner, as long as various improvements are made by using the method concept and technical solution of the present application, or the concept and technical solution of the present application is directly applied to other occasions without improvement, all of which are within the protection scope of the present application.
