Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filling machines, in particular to a cleaning device for a filling and capping machine. Background Art

[0002] The filling and capping machine includes a filling machine and a capping machine. The filling machine is a semi-automatic piston filling machine, which uses a cylinder to drive a piston to extract and pump out materials and uses a one-way valve to control the flow direction of the materials, and a reed switch to control the stroke of the cylinder to achieve the effect of adjusting the filling volume. The capping machine, also known as a capping machine or a capping machine, is a manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic machine for capping. After the filling machine completes the filling, the capping machine is used to cap the filled barrel.

[0003] The working process of the filling and capping machine is as follows: the boxes with empty bottles are stacked on pallets and sent to the unloading palletizer by the conveyor belt. The pallets are unloaded one by one, and the boxes are sent to the unloading box machine by the conveyor belt. The empty bottles are taken out of the boxes. The empty boxes are sent to the box washer by the conveyor belt. After being cleaned, they are sent to the packing machine so that the bottles containing beverages can be put into them. The empty bottles taken out from the unloading machine are sent to the bottle washer by another conveyor belt for disinfection and cleaning. After being inspected by the bottle inspection machine, they are sent to the filling machine and capping machine after meeting the cleaning standards. The beverages are filled into bottles by the filling machine. The bottles filled with beverages are capped and sealed by the capping machine and transported to the labeling machine for labeling. After being labeled, they are sent to the packing machine to be put into boxes and then sent to the palletizer to be stacked on pallets and sent to the warehouse.

[0004] When the above-mentioned filling machine fills materials into the bottles, for liquid materials, the filling machine will move downward so that the nozzle on the filling machine enters the empty bottle to fill the liquid material. Due to different product requirements, after the liquid material in the empty bottle is filled to the standard capacity, the liquid level of the liquid material will be higher than the plane at the nozzle outlet, that is, the nozzle is soaked with the liquid material. When the filling machine moves upward and fills the next empty bottle, the liquid material attached to the nozzle will fall onto the work surface, causing contamination of the work surface.

[0039] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to implement different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0040] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for a filling and capping machine, comprising:

[0042] A support platform 1, on which a workbench 2 for conveying empty bottles is rotatably connected;

[0043] A connecting rod 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the supporting platform 1, and the other end of which extends above the working platform 2;

[0044] The fixed plate 4 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 3 located above the workbench 2, a gap is provided between the fixed plate 4 and the workbench 2, and a first sponge 5 for filling the gap is provided at one end of the fixed plate 4 facing the workbench 2.

[0045] The support table 1 is a table in the filling and capping machine for supporting all components or mechanisms, which includes a conveyor belt for transporting empty bottles. The conveyor belt transports the empty bottles to a position close to the workbench 2, and after being processed by the workbench 2, the filling machine and the capping machine, they return to the conveyor belt for output. The workbench 2 is used to separate the empty bottles stacked and transported by the conveyor belt, so that there is a certain distance between the empty bottles and they will not affect each other in subsequent operations such as filling and capping. The workbench 2 is specifically a dial, and a plurality of equally spaced card slots 20 are circumferentially distributed on the side wall of the dial for拨动 the empty bottles transported on the conveyor belt. The connecting rod 3 selected in this embodiment is a stainless steel connecting rod 3 in a U shape. One end can be fixedly connected to the support table 1 through bolts, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 4, so that the fixing plate 4 can rotate on the connecting rod 3; in addition, the fixing plate 4 adopted in this embodiment is a cylindrical fixing plate 4, which can achieve linkage under the contact with the first sponge 5 through the workbench 2.

[0046] During use, the workbench 2 rotates to separate and store the empty bottles transported by the conveyor belt on the support table 1, and then performs filling and capping. During filling, the liquid material on the nozzle 8 drips onto the workbench 2. As the workbench 2 rotates, the waste liquid material dripping onto the workbench 2 will be absorbed and cleaned by the first sponge 5 on the fixing plate 4; in addition, since the fixing plate 4 and the connecting rod 3 are rotatably connected, assuming the connection point of the fixing plate 4 and the connecting rod 3 is a, and a downward extension line b is drawn from point a, the radius of the fixing plate 4 is c, and the distance from the edge of the workbench 2 to the extension line b is d. When 0≤d<c⁄2, the rotation of the workbench 2 can drive the fixing plate 4 to rotate through the frictional force generated by the contact between the tabletop of the workbench 2 and the first sponge 5, which can avoid cleaning the waste liquid material on the tabletop of the workbench 2 by the same part of the first sponge 5 for a long time.

[0047] Further, as Figure 2 shown, a cleaning device for a filling and capping machine further includes:

[0048] A roller 60, which is in rolling contact with the outer side wall of the workbench 2;

[0049] A bracket 6, which passes through the roller 60 and is arranged on the connecting rod 3, and the roller 60 is rotatably connected to the bracket 6;

[0050] A limit ring 61, which is fixedly arranged on the connecting rod 3 and is in rotational contact with the roller 60 for limiting the roller 60;

[0051] A first cylinder 62, which is sleeved on the bracket 6 and is fixedly connected to the roller 60;

[0052] The second cylinder 63 is sleeved on the connecting rod 3 and fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4;

[0053] The chain transmission mechanism is disposed between the first cylinder 62 and the second cylinder 63 and is used to link the first cylinder 62 and the second cylinder 63 so that the first cylinder 62 and the second cylinder 63 can rotate simultaneously.

[0054] The roller 60 is in close contact with the outer wall of the workbench 2, so that the rotation of the workbench 2 can drive the rotation of the roller 60. The bracket 6 selected in this embodiment is L-shaped, and both ends are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 3. The limiting ring 61 is located below the roller 60 to limit the roller 60. The first cylinder 62 is located above the roller 60 and is sleeved on the bracket 6. The first cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the roller 60. The second cylinder 63 is located above the fixed plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed plate 4. The second cylinder 63 is also sleeved on the bracket 6. The chain transmission mechanism selected in this embodiment includes a first sprocket 64, a second sprocket 65 and a chain 66. The first sprocket 64 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first cylinder 62, the second sprocket 65 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second cylinder 63, and the chain 66 is wound around the first sprocket 64 and the second sprocket 65 to mesh with each other, so as to realize the linkage between the roller 60 and the fixed plate 4.

[0055] When in use, the roller 60 in rolling contact with the outer wall of the workbench 2 is rotated by the rotation of the workbench 2, and the rotation of the roller 60 drives the first cylinder 62 to rotate on the bracket 6, and the limit ring 61 prevents the roller 60 from unstable up and down movement when rotating on the bracket 6. The rotation of the first cylinder 62 drives the first sprocket 64 on its outer wall to rotate, and the rotation of the first sprocket 64 will also cause the chain 66 engaged with itself to start rotating, which will also cause the second sprocket 65 engaged at the other end of the chain 66 to rotate. Since the second sprocket 65 is arranged on the second cylinder 63, and the second cylinder 63 is arranged on the fixed plate 4, the effect of driving the fixed plate 4 to rotate is achieved, and no additional energy such as batteries is consumed to drive the rotation of the fixed plate 4, so that the first sponge 5 on the fixed plate 4 can better clean up the waste liquid materials on the workbench 2.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 3 includes:

[0057] A first connecting rod 30, one end of which is fixedly connected to the support platform 1;

[0058] A second connecting rod 31, one end of which extends to the top of the workbench 2, and the other end of which is provided with a fixing ring 32, which is sleeved on the first connecting rod 30, and a screw hole 33 is opened on the side wall of the fixing ring 32;

[0059] The fixing bolt 34 is rotatably connected to the screw hole 33 and is used to fix the fixing ring 32 at any position on the first connecting rod 30 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 30 and the second connecting rod 31 form a U-shaped connecting rod 3, that is, the first connecting rod 30 is a straight rod, and the second connecting rod 31 is L-shaped. The fixing ring 32 allows the second connecting rod 31 to slide on the first connecting rod 30, and the fixing bolt 34 allows the second connecting rod 31 to be fixed at any position on the first connecting rod 30.

[0061] When in use, the position of the second connecting rod 31 on the first connecting rod 30 is adjusted by loosening the fixing bolt 34 in the screw hole 33 to adapt to workbenches 2 of different sizes and models. After the second connecting rod 31 moves to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 34 in the screw hole 33 is tightened. At this time, the roller 60 on the bracket 6 to which the second connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected can roll in contact with the outer wall of the workbenches 2 of different sizes and models.

[0062] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 7 is provided on the support platform 1, and the other end of the support rod 7 extends above the workbench 2; a circular ring 70 for the nozzle 8 to pass through is provided on the end of the support rod 7 close to the workbench 2, and a second sponge 71 in contact with the nozzle 8 is circumferentially provided on the inner wall of the circular ring 70.

[0063] When in use, the support rod 7 is located on the side of the support platform 1 close to the nozzle 8. The circular ring 70 set at one end of the support rod 7 can allow the nozzle 8 to pass through. When the nozzle 8 rises from the bottle filled with liquid material under the drive of the filling machine, the liquid material attached to the outer wall of the nozzle 8 will be absorbed by the second sponge 71 set on the inner wall of the circular ring 70, so as to reduce the dripping of liquid material.

[0064] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of through holes 21 are circumferentially formed on the top surface of the workbench 2 near one end of the side wall thereof, and a liquid storage cavity 22 communicating with the through holes 21 is formed inside the workbench 2 .

[0065] The through hole 21 formed on the workbench 2 is located between two adjacent slots 20 , and the liquid storage cavity 22 is located inside the workbench 2 near the outer wall and is communicated with the through hole 21 formed between two adjacent slots 20 .

[0066] During use, liquid material dripping on the top surface of the workbench 2 is thrown outward by the centrifugal force generated by the rotating workbench 2, and the through hole 21 can store the liquid material that has not yet reached the absorption and cleaning position of the first sponge 5, thereby preventing the liquid from splashing around outside the workbench 2 and causing pollution.

[0067] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, a chute (not shown) communicating with the liquid storage chamber 22 is provided on the workbench 2, and a collection box 23 for collecting waste liquid is slidably connected to the chute.

[0068] The outer wall of the collection box 23 is flush with the outer wall of the workbench 2 . To facilitate taking out the collection box 23 , a pull rope 24 may be provided on the outer wall of the collection box 23 . The pull rope 24 will not affect the rotation of the workbench 2 .

[0069] When in use, the liquid material dripping on the top surface of the workbench 2 enters the liquid storage chamber 22 through the through hole 21 and is then collected by the collecting box 23. When a certain amount is collected, it can be taken out and poured out through the pull rope 24 to avoid long-term accumulation of liquid material in the liquid storage chamber 22 and affecting the collection of the liquid material dripping on the top surface of the workbench 2.

[0070] Furthermore, a fixing clamp (not shown) is hinged at one end of the connecting rod 3 located on the supporting platform 1 .

[0071] When in use, the fixing clip allows the connecting rod 3 to be detachably installed at any position. When it is not needed, it can be removed. When it is needed, it can be installed at any position through the fixing clip.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a third sponge 9 is circumferentially arranged on the outer side wall of the workbench 2 .

[0073] When in use, the third sponge 9 circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the workbench 2 is located between two adjacent slots 20, and can absorb the liquid material thrown out by the rotation of the workbench 2 to prevent the liquid material from being thrown out to places outside the workbench 2 and causing pollution.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. In the absence of conflicts, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other.
