In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0042] The following will be described in conjunction with Figures 1 to 6 The synchronization filling device of the embodiments of the present application is described, wherein, Figure 2 The arrow A in the figure indicates the flow direction of the material liquid at the liquid outlet 112, Figure 5 And Figure 6 The dashed line in the figure indicates the internal line. The device can be provided on a filling station of food such as ice cream or cake, and the solid material 300 and the material liquid can be filled into the packaging container simultaneously, wherein the solid material 300 can be a solid food such as chocolate or biscuit, the material liquid can be ice cream material liquid or butter, and the packaging container can be a non-edible packaging container such as paper, plastic or metal, or an edible packaging container such as a brittle cylinder formed by chocolate as a raw material.

[0043] In conjunction with Figure 1 And Figure 2 According to the synchronization filling device of the embodiments of the present application, the synchronization filling device comprises a material liquid supply structure 100 and a transfer mechanism 200.

[0044] The material liquid supply structure 100 comprises a first component 110 and a second component 120 arranged opposite to each other, the first component 110 and the second component 120 are provided with a feeding hole 111 inside, a temporary storage groove 130 is formed between the first component 110 and the second component 120, and the bottom of the opposite side of the first component 110 and the second component 120 is provided with a liquid outlet 112; The transfer mechanism 200 is arranged on one side of the material liquid supply structure 100, and the transfer mechanism 200 is used to send the solid material 300 into the temporary storage groove 130 one by one.

[0045] In the above scheme, the first component 110 and the second component 120 can guide the feed liquid to the position of the liquid outlet 112 through the feed hole 111. During the process of feeding the solid material 300 into the temporary storage tank 130 by the transfer mechanism 200, the feed liquid does not continuously flow out through the liquid outlet 112, but is temporarily stored in the feed hole 111. The feed liquid at the position of the liquid outlet 112 can temporarily support the solid material 300 in the temporary storage tank 130 under the action of its own expansion and viscosity. At the same time that the feed liquid flows out from the position of the liquid outlet 112, the solid material 300 can enter the packaging container together with the feed liquid, realizing synchronous filling. It can be understood that when the feed liquid flows out from the liquid outlet 112, the solid material 300 and the flowing feed liquid can automatically move downward under the action of its own weight, and the feed pressure applied to the feed liquid by the feed device can also push the solid material 300 and the feed liquid flowing out from the liquid outlet 112, ensuring that the solid material 300 and the feed liquid are smoothly filled into the packaging container, preventing the occurrence of material blocking.

[0046] The first component 110 and the second component 120 can be a pipe structure with any shape of cross section, such as square, circular, semicircular, sector, etc. Preferably, the first component 110 and the second component 120 are symmetrically arranged and have a semicircular cross section.

[0047] The first component 110 and the second component 120 can be connected to the discharge port of the feed device respectively, or can be connected to the discharge port of the feed device simultaneously. Alternatively, the feed liquid supply structure 100 further comprises a connecting portion 140, the bottom end of the connecting portion 140 is connected to the top end of the first component 110 and the top end of the second component 120 respectively, and the connecting portion 140 can be connected to the discharge port of the feed device, so that the first component 110 and the second component 120 can be connected to the discharge port of the feed device simultaneously, thereby facilitating synchronous feeding of the first component 110 and having the advantage of convenient installation.

[0048] In some optional ways, the feed liquid supply structure 100 is a vertically arranged pipe structure, the lower end of the pipe structure is blocked, and the lower part of the pipe structure is cut to form the temporary storage tank 130. The two sides and the top of the temporary storage tank 130 are respectively welded with baffles, the lower part of the two side baffles forms the liquid outlet 112, the part of the pipe structure above the temporary storage tank 130 forms the connecting portion 140, and the parts of the pipe structure on both sides of the temporary storage tank 130 form the first component 110 and the second component 120.

[0049] The distance between the first component 110 and the second component 120 is the same as the thickness of the solid material 300 or slightly larger than the thickness of the solid material 300, so that the vertical state of the solid material 300 can be ensured. Further, the distance from the upper end of the liquid outlet 112 to the upper end of the temporary storage tank 130 is smaller than the height of the solid material 300, and the distance from the lower end of the liquid outlet 112 to the upper end of the temporary storage tank 130 is larger than the height of the solid material 300, that is, when the solid material 300 is inserted into the temporary storage tank 130 and the upper end of the solid material 300 contacts or has a small gap with the top wall of the temporary storage tank 130, the lower end of the solid material 300 is located between the upper end and the lower end of the liquid outlet 112, so that the solid material 300 can be better supported.

[0050] The synchronous filling device can send the solid material 300 into the temporary storage tank 130 one by one, so that the solid material 300 can be filled one by one. It should be noted that when the same product is produced, the number of solid materials 300 filled in the product is not limited to one, and when more than two solid materials 300 need to be filled, the synchronous filling device can be used for more than twice filling operation, or more than two synchronous filling devices can be used for filling at the same time, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the transfer mechanism 200 includes:

[0052] The translation mechanism 210 is used to store the solid material 300 and deliver the solid material 300 to the opening position of the temporary storage tank 130 one by one.

[0053] The pushing mechanism 220 is used to push the solid material 300 located at the opening position of the temporary storage tank 130 into the temporary storage tank 130.

[0054] In the above scheme, after the translation mechanism 210 delivers the solid material 300 to the opening position of the temporary storage tank 130, the pushing mechanism 220 can push the solid material 300 located at the opening position of the temporary storage tank 130 into the temporary storage tank 130 by one pushing action, and then the pushing mechanism 220 is reset and the translation mechanism 210 delivers the next solid material 300 to the opening position of the temporary storage tank 130, so as to prepare for the next pushing, and the above process is repeated to realize the filling of the solid material 300 one by one.

[0055] As Figure 3As shown, the translation mechanism 210 comprises a sliding platform 211, which is provided with a sliding groove 212 extending to the side opening position of the temporary storage groove 130, and the sliding groove 212 is adapted to store the solid materials 300. In this scheme, the solid materials 300 can be stacked one by one along the extension direction of the sliding groove 212, and after the materials located at the side opening position of the temporary storage groove 130 are pushed into the temporary storage groove 130, the remaining solid materials 300 can be slid as a whole along the sliding groove 212 for replenishment.

[0056] Optionally, the shape of the sliding groove 212 is adapted to the shape of the solid materials 300, so that the solid materials 300 can be placed in the sliding groove 212 in a neat manner. Figure 1 For example, the structure shown in the middle, the solid materials 300 are inverted trapezoidal structures, and the sliding groove 212 is provided with an inverted trapezoidal groove structure which is the same as the collision of the solid materials 300, thereby ensuring that the solid materials 300 are placed neatly.

[0057] In some optional ways, in the extension direction of the sliding groove 212, the groove bottom of the sliding groove 212 gradually inclines upward from the end close to the temporary storage groove 130 to the end away from the temporary storage groove 130. Thus, under the action of the self-weight of the solid materials 300, the solid materials 300 can be automatically slid along the sliding groove 212 for replenishment.

[0058] In order to ensure that the solid materials 300 in the sliding groove 212 are always in a vertical state, the translation mechanism 210 also comprises a follow-up support 216 which is slidingly arranged on the sliding platform 211, and the follow-up support 216 can support the solid materials 300 on the side away from the temporary storage groove 130. The follow-up support 216 can be transversely arranged above the sliding groove 212, or can be slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 212. Preferably, the follow-up support 216 in the embodiment of the present application slides along the extension direction of the sliding groove 212 by relying on the self-weight during the feeding process.

[0059] As shown in the left part of the figure, Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing mechanism 220 comprises a pushing driving member 223 and a pushing plate 221, the driving direction of the pushing driving member 223 is along the lateral opening direction of the temporary storage groove 130, the pushing plate 221 is fixedly connected with the pushing driving member 223, and the pushing driving member 223 can drive the pushing plate 221 to reciprocate towards and away from the temporary storage groove 130 when the pushing driving member 223 operates. When the pushing driving member 223 drives the pushing plate 221 to approach the temporary storage groove 130, the solid materials 300 close to the side opening of the temporary storage groove 130 can be pushed into the temporary storage groove 130, and after the pushing driving member 223 drives the pushing plate 221 to reset, the next pushing can be prepared. Optionally, the pushing driving member 223 is a telescopic driving member, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a telescopic motor, and the pushing plate 221 is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the pushing driving member 223.

Figure 5 Figure 6 In some optional ways, the bottom plate of the sliding platform 211 is movably provided with a support plate 214 and a return spring 215, the support plate 214 is connected with the return spring 215, the support plate 214 has a first state located in the avoiding groove 213 and a second state located outside the avoiding groove 213, and under the action of the return spring 215, the support plate 214 is maintained in the first state, and when the push plate 221 passes through the avoiding groove 213, the support plate 214 can be pushed to switch to the second state, and when the push plate 221 moves out of the avoiding groove 213, the support plate 214 is reset to the first state under the action of the return spring 215.

It should be noted that the single running process of the transferring mechanism 200 is a complete pushing and resetting process. Taking the pushing driving member 223 as a cylinder as an example, the process of completing one-time extension and resetting of the pushing driving member 223 is the single running process of the transferring mechanism 200. During the filling process, after the first controller controls the transferring mechanism 200 to complete one-time pushing and resetting process, the first controller controls the feeding device to run for a preset time, so that the fixed amount of liquid and the solid material 300 are filled into the packaging container synchronously, and the above-mentioned process is repeated to realize continuous filling.
