A distributor structure

Abstract

A distributor structure is provided, wherein one end of a feed tube that is driven to rotate by a driving mechanism is closed and a discharge tray is provided on the outer wall. The discharge tray is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet channels and distribution joints connected to each liquid outlet channel along the circumference. The discharge tray is also provided with a plunger hole and a pressure relief groove connected to the liquid outlet channel. A magnetic plunger is placed in the plunger hole, and a magnetic disk is provided outside the end of the feed tube. The magnetic disk drives each plunger to move along each plunger hole through magnetism, thereby driving the plunger to block or open the liquid outlet channel, thereby controlling the flow of liquid. This distributor structure uses magnetism as a driving force, and its operation is fast, accurate, and stable. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the complexity of the structure and the difficulty of production and maintenance. It can also effectively prevent impurities such as dust and waste liquid from entering the liquid flow channel formed by components such as the feed tube, liquid outlet channel, and distribution joint, thereby improving the anti-pollution performance and meeting the sterility requirements.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to automatic filling equipment, in particular to the structure of a liquid filling distributor. Background Art

[0002] To improve efficiency, liquid-transfer equipment such as filling machines and sterilizers often incorporate distributors that direct materials to different output ports. Current distributors feature interconnected inner shafts and a water distribution tray with multiple water distribution ports. These ports are opened and closed during operation to distribute materials. However, existing distributors are complex in structure, have high sterility requirements, and are prone to contamination during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser structure that controls the flow of materials through magnetic force, so as to simplify the equipment structure, improve the antibacterial performance, and better protect the hygiene and safety of the materials.

[0004] The distributor structure described in the present invention includes a feed pipe for material entry, one end of the feed pipe is closed and the outer wall of the end is extended outward or installed with a discharge disk, and a plurality of distribution joints for outputting materials are provided on the discharge disk along the circumference, and a liquid outlet channel connecting the feed pipe and the distribution joint is provided in the discharge disk. The number of liquid outlet channels is consistent with the number of distribution joints and is connected one by one. A plunger hole is also provided on the discharge disk, one end of the plunger hole is connected to the liquid outlet channel and the other end is sealed with a sealing plate, a plunger with magnetism is placed in the plunger hole and can movably close or open the liquid outlet channel, and there is also a magnetic disk that moves along the plunger hole by magnetically driving the plunger, the magnetic disk is annular and is arranged opposite to all the plungers, and the polarity of the magnetic disk toward the plunger is partially the same and partially opposite to the polarity of the plunger toward the magnetic disk end; there is also a driving mechanism for driving the feed pipe or the magnetic disk to rotate along the axis.

[0005] Furthermore, the axis of the feed pipe is set vertically, the bottom of the feed pipe is the feed port, the top of the feed pipe is closed, the discharge tray is set on the top outer wall of the feed pipe, the plunger hole runs through the bottom of the discharge tray to the liquid outlet channel, and the sealing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge tray and seals the bottom opening of the plunger hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the magnetic disk is annular and is arranged above the top of the feed pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a driving plate and a driver that drives the driving plate to rotate. The driving plate is arranged at the bottom of the sealing plate. A screw hole is opened at the bottom of the discharge tray. The sealing plate and the driving plate are respectively provided with mounting holes opposite to the screw holes. The locking screws pass through the mounting holes and are screwed to the screw holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a pressure relief groove for discharging gas is provided on the discharge tray. The setting direction of the pressure relief groove is parallel to the axis of the plunger hole, and the side and one end of the pressure relief groove are respectively connected to the plunger hole and the liquid outlet channel. The diameter of the pressure relief groove is smaller than the plunger.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly provided on the outer side of the end portion of the feed pipe, and an outer sleeve is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate facing the feed pipe. A cylindrical accommodating cavity is provided in the outer sleeve, and the outer sleeve is open on the side facing the fixing plate and connected to the accommodating cavity. The magnetic disk is provided in the accommodating cavity, and a pad is provided between the magnetic disk and the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a spacer sleeve is provided between the outer sleeve and the feed pipe.

[0011] The distributor structure described in the present invention comprises a magnetic disk having an annular structure and arranged opposite to a plurality of plungers arranged in an annular pattern within a discharge disk at the end of a feed pipe. Due to the characteristic of like magnets repelling and opposite magnets attracting, the plungers can move along the plunger holes of the discharge disk toward or away from the magnetic disk. Specifically, assuming that a drive mechanism is connected to the feed pipe and drives the feed pipe to rotate, while the distributor connector and the feed pipe are relatively fixed, they rotate under the drive mechanism, and at the same time, rotate about the annular axis of the annular ring in which all the plungers are located and the annular axis of the magnetic disk, thereby driving each plunger to a different position on the magnetic disk. When the plunger moves to the point where the magnetic properties of its end and the side of the magnetic disk are the same, the plunger is subjected to repulsive force and moves away from the magnetic disk. When the plunger moves to the point where the magnetic properties of its end and the side of the magnetic disk are opposite, it is subjected to attractive force and moves toward the magnetic disk. Similarly, if the drive mechanism is connected to a magnetic disk, the magnetism between the magnetic disk and the plunger can also be used to drive the plunger to move along the plunger hole, that is, to drive the plunger to or away from the liquid outlet channel. When the plunger moves toward the liquid outlet channel, the end of the plunger will close the liquid outlet channel, and the liquid in the feed pipe cannot flow to the distribution joint through the liquid outlet channel, and liquid delivery work such as filling and spraying disinfectant cannot be formed; and when the plunger moves away from the liquid outlet channel, the plunger will leave the liquid outlet channel and allow the liquid to flow smoothly through the liquid outlet channel, and the liquid will eventually be sprayed out from the distribution joint, forming the required liquid delivery effect. Its beneficial effects are: this type of distributor structure uses magnetism as a driving force, and its operation is fast, accurate and stable; the structures of the magnetic disk and the plunger are relatively simple, which can effectively reduce the complexity of the structure and reduce the difficulty of production and maintenance; and the plunger can be stably placed in the plunger hole and sealed with a sealing plate, which can effectively prevent dust, waste liquid and other impurities from entering the liquid flow channel formed by components such as the feed pipe, liquid outlet channel, and distribution joint, thereby improving the anti-pollution performance and meeting the sterility requirements.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0021] The present invention provides a distributor structure.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present invention, the distributor structure includes a feed pipe 1 through which materials enter, one end of the feed pipe is closed and the outer wall of the end is extended outward or installed with a discharge tray 11, and a plurality of distribution joints 2 for outputting materials are circumferentially provided on the discharge tray, and a liquid outlet channel 12 connecting the feed pipe and the distribution joint is provided in the discharge tray. The number of liquid outlet channels is consistent with the number of distribution joints and is connected one by one. A plunger hole 13 is also provided on the discharge tray, one end of the plunger hole is connected to the liquid outlet channel and the other end is sealed with a sealing plate 3, a plunger 4 with magnetism is placed in the plunger hole and can movably close or open the liquid outlet channel, and there is also a magnetic disk 5 that moves along the plunger hole by magnetically driving the plunger, the magnetic disk is annular and is arranged opposite to all the plungers, and the polarity of the magnetic disk toward the plunger is partially the same and partially opposite to the polarity of the plunger toward the magnetic disk end; there is also a driving mechanism for driving the feed pipe or the magnetic disk to rotate along the axis.

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the axis of the feed pipe 1 is set vertically, the bottom of the feed pipe is the feed port, the top of the feed pipe is closed, the discharge tray is set on the top outer wall of the feed pipe, the plunger hole 13 runs through the bottom of the discharge tray to the liquid outlet channel 12, and the sealing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge tray and seals the bottom opening of the plunger hole. During installation, the plunger can be inserted from the bottom of the plunger hole, and then the sealing plate is installed. This structure is not only simple, but also extremely convenient for assembly and disassembly and maintenance. Sealing the plunger hole from the bottom can further prevent dust and accumulated water from entering the plunger hole and the liquid outlet channel, thereby further improving the anti-pollution ability and sterility of the equipment. In addition, the magnetic disk 5 is annular and is arranged above the top of the feed pipe 1, and the driving mechanism includes a driving plate 6 and a driver that drives the driving plate to rotate. The driving plate is arranged at the bottom of the sealing plate. At the same time, a screw hole is opened at the bottom of the discharge tray 11, and the sealing plate 3 and the driving plate are respectively provided with mounting holes opposite to the screw holes. The locking screws 7 pass through the mounting holes and are screwed to the screw holes, thereby stably fixing the driving plate and the discharge tray so that the driving plate drives the feed pipe and the discharge tray to rotate, and the sealing plate can also be pressed between the discharge tray and the driving plate, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0024] During operation, the driving plate drives the feed pipe to rotate around its axis, thereby driving all the plungers to rotate within the magnetic range of the magnetic disk. When the plunger rotates to the point where the polarity of its top is the same as the polarity of the bottom of the magnetic disk, the plunger moves downward under the repulsive force of the magnetic disk, and the bottom of the plunger abuts the sealing plate, while the top of the plunger leaves the liquid outlet channel, so that the liquid in the feed pipe can smoothly flow out of the liquid channel to the distribution joint, thereby forming liquid delivery operations such as filling and spraying disinfectant. When the plunger rotates to the point where the polarity of its top is opposite to the polarity of the bottom of the magnetic disk, the plunger moves upward under the suction of the magnetic disk, and the top of the plunger abuts against the liquid outlet channel and closes the liquid outlet channel. The liquid in the feed pipe can no longer flow out through the liquid outlet channel, and the desired liquid delivery effect cannot be formed.

[0025] In the described distributor structure, a pressure relief groove 14 for discharging gas is provided on the discharge tray 11. The setting direction of the pressure relief groove is parallel to the axis of the plunger hole 13, and the side surface and one end of the pressure relief groove are respectively connected to the plunger hole and the liquid outlet channel 12. The diameter of the pressure relief groove is smaller than the plunger 4 to prevent the plunger from sliding into the pressure relief groove. At the same time, air pressure can be discharged for the movement of the plunger to ensure smooth movement of the plunger in the plunger hole.

[0026] The dispenser structure features a fixed plate 8 fixed above the top of the feed tube 1, with an outer sleeve 9 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the fixed plate. A cylindrical accommodating chamber is provided within the outer sleeve, which is open at the top and communicates with the chamber. A magnetic disk 5 is positioned within the chamber, and a backing plate 10 is provided between the magnetic disk and the bottom of the fixed plate, thereby securing the magnetic disk in place and ensuring operational stability and accuracy. Furthermore, a spacer 20, made of polymer plastic, is provided between the outer sleeve 9 and the top of the feed tube 1 to prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the outer sleeve and the feed tube, thereby ensuring operational stability and safety between the two relatively rotating components.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
