[0042] The loading device 200, the filling device 300, the cleaning device 400, the capping device 500 and the unloading device 600 are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the turntable 100. The turntable 100 is driven to rotate by the first driving member so that the loading device 200 can insert the bottle mouths of the packaging bags into the card slots 110 one by one, and then the turntable 100 drives the packaging bags to move, and the food is injected into the packaging bags through the filling device 300, so that the food can be automatically input into the packaging bags. The bracket 410 is arranged on the machine platform, the fixed end of the second driving member 420 is fixedly connected to the bracket 410, the movable end of the second driving member 420 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 430, and the blocking component 431 is connected to the pressing plate 430. The pressing plate 430 is driven by the second driving member 420 to move in a direction close to the turntable 100, so that the blocking component 431 blocks the bottle mouth of the packaging bag, and the bottle mouth is photographed by the detection camera 450, so that the controller can obtain the degree of food leakage from the bottle mouth, and then control the water spray component 440 to clean the bottle mouth of the packaging bag according to the degree of food leakage from the bottle mouth, and avoid the cleaning water from entering the packaging bag from the bottle mouth, so as to prevent the food in the packaging bag from being contaminated and improve the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth. The outlet 511 of the conveying slide 510 is located above the turntable 100. The bottle cap is conveyed to the bottle mouth through the conveying slide 510, and then the bottle cap is tightened on the bottle mouth through the capping head 520. Finally, the bottle mouth is pushed by the unloading device 600 to disengage the bottle mouth from the card slot 110, thereby realizing automatic filling of the packaging bag without manual intervention, thereby improving the filling quality and filling efficiency of the food.

[0043] It should be noted that the filling device 300 is used to output soft solid foods to the packaging bag, among which the solid foods are easily stuck at the bottle mouth, causing the subsequent filled foods to easily leak out and adhere to the bottle mouth, affecting the appearance of the product, and the bottle mouth is provided with threads to facilitate the connection of the bottle cap, and the leaked food is easily stuck on the threads of the bottle mouth, increasing the difficulty of cleaning the bottle mouth of the packaging bag. The detection camera 450 shoots the bottle mouth, and then the controller controls the nozzle 442 to spray water to the bottle mouth, so that the flow, water pressure, working time, etc. of the water spray component 440 can be controlled according to the degree of food leakage from the bottle mouth, and then the bottle mouth is cleaned in a targeted manner, the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth is improved, the water consumption is reduced, and the filling efficiency is improved.

[0044] Among them, the first driving component can be an electric motor or a hydraulic motor; the second driving component 420 can be a linear cylinder or an electric push rod; the controller can be a single-chip microcomputer, a programmable logic controller, or an industrial computer, which will not be described one by one here.

[0045] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1The feeding device 200 includes a material rack 210 and a pushing component 220. The material rack 210 is provided with a chute for supporting the bottle mouth of the packaging bag. The two side walls of the chute are provided with clamps. The distance between the two clamps is slightly larger than the neck of the bottle mouth. The two clamps are used to support the bottle mouth, and the bottle mouth can move. The pushing component 220 is used to drive the bottle mouth to abut against the side wall of the turntable 100. As the turntable 100 rotates, the bottle mouth can slide into the slot 110 to realize automatic feeding of the packaging bag. The pushing component 220 can be a linear cylinder or an electric push rod, which can drive the bottle mouth to move in the direction close to the turntable 100. It will not be described here one by one. The pushing component 220 is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller simultaneously controls the first driving member and the pushing component 220, so that the multiple packaging bags in the chute cooperate with the rotation of the turntable 100, and the packaging bags are clamped into the slots 110 of the turntable 100 one by one.

[0046] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The unloading device 600 includes a driving component 610 and a top block 620. The top block 620 is arranged at the movable end of the driving component 610. The driving component 610 is used to drive the top block 620 to move radially along the turntable 100, so that the top block 620 can drive the bottle mouth to slide out of the slot 110, thereby realizing automatic unloading of the packaging bag. The driving component 610 can be a linear cylinder or an electric push rod, which can drive the top block 620 to move radially along the turntable 100, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower end surface of the blocking component 431 is provided with an air jet 432, and the blocking component 431 is connected to a compressed air pipe. When the blocking component 431 abuts against the bottle mouth, the air jet 432 ejects air toward the outside of the bottle mouth. The lower end surface of the blocking component 431 is provided with an air jet 432, and the blocking component 431 is connected to a compressed air pipe. Compressed air is output to the air jet 432 through the compressed air pipe, so that the air jet 432 can eject air toward the outside of the bottle mouth, thereby blowing off the food and water drops stuck to the outside of the bottle mouth, so that the bottle mouth can be kept clean and the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth is improved.

[0048] It should be noted that the outside of the bottle mouth is stuck with leaked food, especially solid food, which is easy to get stuck in the thread of the bottle mouth. By spraying compressed air into the bottle mouth through the air jet 432, the solid food can be blown off to prevent the food from sticking to the bottle mouth. In addition, the bottle mouth has residual cleaning water sprayed by the nozzle 442, and the air jet 432 can also blow away the residual water droplets at the bottle mouth, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth.

[0049] In addition, one end of the compressed air pipe away from the blocking component 431 is connected to an air compressor or an air storage tank, so that compressed air can be input into the blocking component 431 through the compressed air pipe.

[0050] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The water spray assembly 440 includes at least two water pipes 441, which are distributed on both sides of the plurality of blocking components 431 along the radial direction of the turntable 100, and the nozzles 442 are connected to the outer walls of the water pipes 441. The two water pipes 441 are arranged along the radial direction of the turntable 100 and on both sides of the blocking components 431, so that the nozzles 442 can spray cleaning water to both sides of the blocking components 431, so that the cleaning water can cover the circumferential direction of the bottle mouth, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth, preventing the leaked food from remaining at the bottle mouth, and accelerating the cleaning efficiency of the bottle mouth, shortening the cleaning time of the bottle mouth, and improving the filling efficiency.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A control valve (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the water pipe 441, and the control valve is electrically connected to the controller, and the control valve is located upstream of the nozzle 442. The control valve is provided upstream of the nozzle 442, and the control valve and the controller are electrically connected. The controller can control the action of the control valve, thereby automatically controlling the opening or closing of the nozzle 442, and can clean the bottle mouth according to the degree of food leakage, reduce the amount of cleaning water, and improve the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth.

[0052] It should be noted that the controller can control the action of the control valve so that the nozzle 442 can continuously or intermittently spray cleaning water to the bottle mouth, thereby increasing the impact force of the cleaning water on the bottle mouth, facilitating the flushing of leaked food, and improving the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth. The control valve can be a solenoid valve, a hydraulic valve, a pneumatic valve, etc., which is not limited here.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A booster pump (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the water pipe 441, and the booster pump is electrically connected to the controller. The booster pump is located upstream of the nozzle 442. The booster pump is provided upstream of the nozzle 442, and the water pressure in the water pipe 441 can be increased by the booster pump, thereby increasing the impact force of the cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle 442, so that the cleaning water can wash off the food stuck on the outside of the bottle mouth. In addition, the booster pump is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller can control the pressurization degree of the booster pump, thereby automatically adjusting the water pressure in the water pipe 441, and outputting cleaning water with different water pressures according to different degrees of food leakage, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the nozzle 442 is movably connected to the outer wall of the water pipe 441, and the water pipe 441 is provided with an adjustment component 443, and the adjustment component 443 is used to drive the nozzle 442 to adjust the water spraying angle. The adjustment component 443 is arranged on the water pipe 441, and the position of the nozzle 442 can be adjusted by the adjustment component 443, so that the nozzle 442 can spray water at different angles, improve the flexibility of the nozzle 442, and facilitate the nozzle 442 to clean different positions of the bottle mouth, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The adjustment component 443 can be a screw, and the nozzle 442 can be pushed to change its angle by adjusting the length of the screw. The adjustment component 443 can also be an electric component controlled by a controller, such as an electric push rod, a cylinder, etc., which drives the nozzle 442 to adjust the water spraying angle, and controls the water spraying angle of the nozzle 442 according to the degree of food leakage from the bottle mouth, so as to perform more efficient cleaning.

[0055] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The depth of the slot 110 is greater than 150% of the diameter of the bottle mouth, and the bottom width of the slot 110 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle mouth. By setting the depth of the slot 110 to be greater than 150% of the bottle mouth, the bottle mouth can be deeply inserted into the slot 110, so that the bottle mouth can be stably in the slot 110, and the bottle mouth can be prevented from falling from the slot 110, thereby improving the position stability of the bottle mouth. In addition, the bottom width of the slot 110 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle mouth, so that the bottle mouth can abut against the two side walls of the bottom of the slot 110, thereby increasing the support force on the bottle mouth and reducing the position shaking of the bottle mouth.

[0056] It should be noted that the width of the bottom of the slot 110 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle mouth, which can be understood as the width of the bottom of the slot 110 is 99.5% to 99.95% of the diameter of the bottle mouth. When the bottle mouth enters the bottom of the slot 110, the bottle mouth can be clamped by the two side walls of the slot 110, so that the bottle mouth can be stabilized at the bottom of the slot 110, preventing the packaging bag from escaping from the turntable 100, which is conducive to the subsequent filling device 300 injecting food into the packaging bag and the cleaning device 400 cleaning the bottle mouth. Among them, the width of the slot 110 can be gradually reduced from the front end to the bottom end, or both sides of the bottom end of the slot 110 can be provided with protrusions to locate the position of the bottle mouth, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The machine is provided with a push rod 120, which is arc-shaped and arranged downstream of the loading device 200. The end of the push rod 120 close to the loading device 200 is the front end, and the end of the push rod 120 away from the loading device 200 is the rear end. The distance between the front end and the center of the turntable 100 is greater than the distance between the rear end and the center of the turntable 100. The push rod 120 is located above the turntable 100, and the rear end is located directly above the slot 110, so that the push rod 120 can push the bottle mouth into the bottom end of the slot 110. The push rod 120 is arranged above the turntable 100 and is located downstream of the loading device 200. The push rod 120 is arranged to be arc-shaped, and the distance between the front end of the push rod 120 and the center of the turntable 100 is greater than the distance between the rear end and the center of the turntable 100, so that when the turntable 100 rotates, the distance between the bottom end of the slot 110 and the push rod 120 gradually decreases, so that the bottle mouth can abut against the push rod 120 to push the bottle mouth to move toward the bottom end of the slot 110, so that the bottle mouth can be stabilized at the bottom end of the slot 110, thereby improving the position stability of the bottle mouth.

[0058] It should be noted that the push rod 120 can also be arranged below the turntable 100 so that the push rod 120 can abut against the lower end of the bottle mouth. By driving the packaging bag to move toward the bottom end of the slot 110, the bottle mouth can also be guided to go deep into the bottom end of the slot 110, thereby improving the position stability of the bottle mouth.

[0059] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The conveying slide 510 is arranged in an inclined manner, and the outlet 511 of the conveying slide 510 is located at the lowest point. The outlet 511 of the conveying slide 510 is provided with a baffle 512, and the baffle 512 is connected to an electric valve 513. The machine is provided with a photoelectric switch 514, and the photoelectric switch 514 corresponds to the position of the outlet 511 of the conveying slide 510. The electric valve 513 and the photoelectric switch 514 are electrically connected to the controller. The conveying slide 510 is arranged in an inclined manner, and the outlet 511 is located at the lowest position of the conveying slide 510. The bottle cap can move along the length direction of the conveying slide 510, and the bottle cap can be output from the outlet 511. The movable end of the electric valve 513 is connected to the baffle 512, and the baffle 512 can be driven by the electric valve 513 to move in a direction close to or away from the outlet 511 to open or block the outlet 511. The photoelectric switch 514 is arranged adjacent to the outlet 511. The position of the bottle mouth can be detected by the photoelectric switch 514. When the photoelectric switch 514 detects the bottle mouth, the controller controls the electric valve 513 to move away from the outlet 511, so that the baffle 512 opens the outlet 511, and the bottle cap can be output from the outlet 511 to the bottle mouth; when the photoelectric switch 514 cannot detect the bottle mouth, the controller controls the electric valve 513 to move toward the outlet 511, so that the baffle 512 blocks the outlet 511 to prevent the bottle cap from falling out of the outlet 511, thereby realizing automatic output of the bottle cap and improving the filling efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that the baffle 512 may be driven by an electric push rod or by a linear slide module, which will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The machine is provided with an auxiliary clamp 530, which is located at the lower side of the turntable 100. The auxiliary clamp 530 is provided with a clamping groove 531, which is located directly below the capping head 520. The side wall of the clamping groove 531 and the side wall of the clamping groove 110 can cooperate to clamp the bottle mouth. The auxiliary frame is located below the capping head 520. The turntable 100 drives the packaging bag to rotate so that the packaging bag can enter the clamping groove 531. The packaging bag can be limited by the clamping groove 531 so that the packaging bag cannot rotate. Then the capping head 520 drives the bottle cap to rotate so that the bottle cap can be screwed into the bottle mouth, so as to prevent the packaging bag from rotating with the capping head 520, thereby facilitating the installation of the bottle cap and improving the filling efficiency.

[0062] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The second embodiment of the present invention proposes a control method, which is applied to the automatic conveying and processing equipment of the first embodiment of the present invention. The control method includes:

[0063] Step S100, acquiring an image of the bottle mouth through the detection camera 450;

[0064] Step S200, comparing the image with a preset image to determine the position at which food leaks out of the bottle mouth;

[0065] Step S300, controlling the water spraying amount and water spraying duration of the water spraying assembly 440 according to the gear position.

[0066] The image of the bottle mouth is acquired by the detection camera 450, and the image information is input into the controller, which is then compared with the preset image to determine the gear position at which food leakage occurs at the bottle mouth. The controller then controls the water spraying amount and spraying duration of the water spraying assembly 440 according to the gear position, thereby being able to perform targeted cleaning according to the degree of food leakage from the bottle mouth, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the bottle mouth.

[0067] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8The lower end surface of the blocking component 431 is provided with an air jet 432, and the air jet 432 is used to spray air toward the bottle mouth; the control method further includes: controlling the water spray component 440 and the air jet 432 to alternately rinse the bottle mouth according to the gear position. By controlling the water spray component 440 and the air jet 432 to alternately rinse the bottle mouth, the cleaning water and the compressed air can be alternately output to the bottle mouth, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the bottle mouth, keeping the bottle mouth clean, and improving the filling quality.

[0068] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the water spray assembly 440 and the air jet 432 are controlled to alternately rinse the bottle mouth according to the gear, including: controlling the water spray assembly 440 to spray water to the bottle mouth at the first gear, and the operation time of the first gear is the first time length; after the operation of the first gear is completed, controlling the air jet 432 to spray air to the bottle mouth at the second gear, and the operation time of the second gear is the second time length; after the operation of the second gear is completed, controlling the water spray assembly 440 to spray water to the bottle mouth at the third gear, and the operation time of the third gear is the third time length; after the operation of the third gear is completed, controlling the air jet 432 to spray air to the bottle mouth at the fourth gear, and the operation time of the fourth gear is the fourth time length.

[0069] By controlling the water spray component 440 to spray water toward the bottle mouth at the first gear, the cleaning water can flush away the larger pieces of solid food on the bottle mouth, and then the air jet 432 sprays air toward the bottle mouth at the second gear, so that the compressed air can flush away the smaller pieces of solid food on the bottle mouth, and then the water spray component 440 sprays water toward the bottle mouth at the third gear to flush the liquid food stuck on the bottle mouth to prevent the liquid food from sticking to the surface of the bottle mouth, and finally the air jet 432 sprays air toward the nozzle 442 at the fourth gear to blow away the cleaning water stuck on the bottle mouth, so that the bottle mouth remains dry and clean, which is convenient for screwing the cap on the package, thereby realizing the automation of filling, maintaining the cleanliness of the package, and improving the quality of filling.

[0070] It should be noted that in some embodiments of the second aspect, the first duration is 1 second, the second duration is 0.5 seconds, the third duration is 0.5 seconds, and the fourth duration is 1 second. First, the water spray component 440 sprays water to the bottle mouth for 1 second to wash away the larger pieces of solid food on the bottle mouth, and then the air jet 432 sprays air to the bottle mouth for 0.5 seconds to wash away the smaller pieces of solid food on the bottle mouth, and then the water spray component 440 sprays water to the bottle mouth for 0.5 seconds to wash the food stuck on the bottle mouth, and finally the air jet 432 sprays air to the bottle mouth for 1 second to blow away the cleaning water stuck on the bottle mouth, so that the bottle mouth remains dry and clean. Among them, larger pieces of solid food and smaller pieces of solid food can be understood as having obvious differences in the outer dimensions, volume, etc. of solid food. For soft solid foods of different specifications and varieties, the first duration, the second duration, the third duration, and the fourth duration can be adjusted to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0071] It is understandable that, during the first time period and the third time period, the adjustment component 443 may be synchronously operated so that the nozzle 442 of the water spray component 440 changes its angle to adjust the water spray angle, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0072] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
