[0002] Water is a major component of body fluids and an essential substance for the formation of cells, tissue fluid, and blood plasma. As the medium for all chemical reactions within the body, water serves as a platform for the transport of various nutrients and substances. Filling drinking water into barrels requires filling equipment. Existing traditional filling equipment uses large robotic arms, which are complex in structure, costly, space-consuming, and inefficient. They are only suitable for mass production and not for multi-specification, multi-variety production; conversion is also very troublesome and time-consuming.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a drinking water bottling device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

The cap input mechanism inputs caps, which are then conveyed to the cap feeding mechanism via the cap conveying mechanism. Bottles or barrels are conveyed to the loading station via the input conveyor line. The first flipping mechanism... The buckets or bottles at the material handling station are rotated 180 degrees to the disinfection station, where the disinfection mechanism disinfects them. The shifting mechanism moves the buckets or bottles to the cleaning station, where the cleaning mechanism cleans them. The second rotating mechanism rotates the buckets or bottles at the cleaning station 180 degrees to the conveying station on the output conveyor line. The output conveyor line conveys the buckets or bottles to the filling station, where the filling mechanism fills them. The output conveyor line conveys the buckets or bottles to the capping station, where the capping mechanism puts the caps on them. The output conveyor line conveys the buckets or bottles to the screw-on capping station, where the screw-on capping mechanism tightens the caps. The output conveyor line then outputs the buckets or bottles outwards.

Adjustment is achieved by turning the four screws 3233 up and down, thus adjusting the height of the cover plate 321.

[0055] The working principle of Implementation Method 2 is basically the same as that of Implementation Method 1, and will not be described again here.

[0056] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention employs a cap input mechanism that transports caps to a cap-adding mechanism via a cap conveying mechanism. An input conveyor line transports barrels or bottles to the loading station. A first flipping mechanism flips the barrels or bottles 180 degrees, a disinfection mechanism disinfects them, a shifting mechanism moves them to the cleaning station, and a cleaning mechanism cleans them. A second flipping mechanism flips the barrels or bottles 180 degrees, and an output conveyor line transports them to the filling station. The filling mechanism fills the bottles, and the output conveyor line transports them to the cap-adding station. The cap-adding mechanism adds the caps, and the output conveyor line transports them to the screw-on station. The screw-on mechanism tightens the caps, and the output conveyor line outputs the contents. This invention also provides a drinking water bottling method. This invention has a simple structure, high efficiency, small footprint, and low cost. It is suitable for producing various types and specifications of products, and conversion is very simple, convenient, and quick.

[0057] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
