[0029] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different solutions of the present invention.

[0030] Referring to the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 6 As shown, a drinking water filling mechanism includes a circulating bucket feeding mechanism 1, a cap feeding mechanism 2, a limiting device 3 and a capping mechanism 4. The circulating bucket feeding mechanism 1 includes a first driving device 11 and a circulating rotating device arranged at the output end of the first driving device 11. A plurality of clamps 12 for fixedly installing water buckets are spaced on the outer side of the circulating rotating device. Each clamp 12 is fixed on a chain 133 and rotates cyclically with the chain 133.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, before the production filling operation, the corresponding clamp 12 can be set so that the inner diameter of the clamp 12 is less than or equal to the outer diameter size of the neck of the water bucket to be filled in this batch. Thus, with the cooperation of the limiting device 3, during the filling operation and the capping operation, the barrel body can be ensured to be stable, without spilling, and tightly sealed.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the circulating rotating device includes a mounting plate 131 arranged along the filling line and turntables 132 respectively arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 131. The two turntables 132 are connected by a chain 133. A number of convex teeth that can be clamped inside the chain 133 are spaced on the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 132. Thus, the turntable 132 can be driven to rotate by the first driving device 11, and then the chain 133 and the clamp 12 can be driven to rotate cyclically.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first driving device 11 is horizontally arranged. A converter 14 is arranged at the output end of the first driving device 11. The output end of the converter 14 is fixedly connected to the center of any one of the two turntables 132. The first driving device 11 drives the converter 14 and then drives the turntable 132 to rotate, realizing the operation of circulating bucket feeding.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, a chute 134 for adjusting the installation position of the turntable 132 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 131 away from the first driving device 11. By sliding the turntable 132 at the corresponding end, the rotation circumference of the circulating barrel feeding mechanism 1 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the number of empty barrels filled in each round and providing more production options for users.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lid feeding mechanism 2 includes a lid feeding guide rail 21 disposed opposite to the clamp 12, a pressing rod assembly disposed at the output end of the lid feeding guide rail 21, a U-shaped plate 23 for supporting the lid feeding guide rail 21, and a cross plate 24. The lower end surface of the cross plate 24 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 23, and one end of the cross plate 24 is fixedly connected to the lid feeding guide rail 21, so that each barrel lid can be initially buckled with the corresponding water bucket through the pressing rod assembly, realizing process optimization and improving the screwing operation efficiency of the screwing mechanism 4.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing rod assembly includes a pressing rod 221 hinged to the lid feeding guide rail 21 at one end and guide plates 222 respectively disposed on both sides of the output end of the lid feeding guide rail 21. One end of the pressing rod 221 is hinged to the lid feeding guide rail 21, and the other end of the pressing rod 221 will press down the barrel lids transmitted by the lid feeding guide rail 21 under the action of gravity, realizing the initial buckling of each barrel lid with the corresponding water bucket, and further improving the efficiency of the subsequent screwing operation through process optimization.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lid feeding guide rail 21 is inclined. Barrel lids are sequentially placed at the other end of the lid feeding guide rail 21 and can slide to the position of the pressing rod 221 under the action of gravity. A support leg 5 is provided below the output end of the lid feeding guide rail 21 for support. A connecting member 6 that can be clamped with the lid feeding guide rail 21 is provided on the support leg 5 to fix the lid feeding guide rail 21 again. A plurality of drain holes 7 are provided on the bottom surface of the output end of the lid feeding guide rail 21, and water draining operation can be carried out in advance to improve the filling efficiency and quality.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the screwing mechanism 4 includes a vertically arranged second driving device 41, a third driving device 42, a pressing cover 43 corresponding to the clamp 12, a first support plate 44 fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving device 41, and two support columns 45 perpendicular to the first support plate 44. The output end of the second driving device 41 is fixedly connected to the third driving device 42, and the output end of the third driving device 42 is meshed with the pressing cover 43.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, a second support plate 46 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 44, and the third driving device 42 is disposed on the second support plate 46. One end of the second support plate 46 away from the first support plate 44 is fixedly connected to the gland 43. A rubber plug or a groove matching the barrel lid is provided inside the gland 43. Thus, the second driving device 41 can drive the third driving device 42 and the gland 43 to perform up-and-down reciprocating motion through the first support plate 44, and then drive the gland 43 to perform the operation of pressing and screwing the lid under the action of the third driving device 42.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting device 3 is used to assist the gland 43 in performing the operation of screwing the lid, and is used to ensure the stability of the barrel during the operation of screwing the lid. The limiting device 3 includes a horizontally arranged fourth driving device 31 and a ejector rod 32 arranged at the output end of the fourth driving device 31. The ejector rod 32 is arranged directly opposite to the center of the clamp 12.

[0041] When the empty barrel rotates to the lower part of the gland 43 driven by the clamp 12, at this time, the fourth driving device 31 will drive the ejector rod 32 to perform the operation of tightly pressing the neck of the barrel, and then place the barrel lid above the barrel mouth through the lid feeding guide rail 21 and the pressing rod 221. Further, under the action of the third driving device 42, the gland 43 is driven to perform the operation of pressing and screwing the lid. Therefore, each link of the filling can be effectively connected in series, and the overall filling efficiency is further improved.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
