Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of beverage product filling, and in particular to a filling system with a valve array structure. Background Art

[0002] In the existing beverage filling process, according to different production needs, the filling machine needs to rotate to fill soda beverages and ordinary beverages. When filling soda beverages and ordinary beverages, compressed air needs to be input into the filling machine. The filling pipeline of the filling machine is connected to the beverage concentrate storage tank, and the beverage concentrate flows into the filling pipeline from the beverage concentrate storage tank. During filling, compressed air enters the filling pipeline of the filling machine from a specific pipeline, and generates pressure on the beverage concentrate in the filling pipeline, so that the beverage concentrate flows out of the filling pipeline and is filled into the container; the difference between filling soda beverages and ordinary beverages is that the beverage concentrate needs to be replaced during filling, and carbon dioxide needs to be input into the soda beverage concentrate; when changing the beverage, high-temperature water vapor enters through a special pipeline, and the carbon dioxide and compressed air pipelines transport steam. After the steam in the pipeline is transported, it will enter the filling pipeline of the filling machine, and the filling pipeline is sterilized at the same time. After sterilization, the beverage is filled.

[0003] In the process of achieving pipeline disinfection, a control box is often used to control multiple pipelines to perform corresponding opening and closing, so as to achieve high-temperature disinfection of carbon dioxide pipelines, compressed air pipelines and filling pipelines by high-temperature steam; due to the large size of the control box, it occupies too much space and is far away from the filling machine, and it is impossible to achieve instant control, making the disinfection operation more complicated, thereby reducing the efficiency of beverage filling. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the efficiency of beverage filling, the present application provides a filling system with a valve array structure.

[0005] The filling system with a valve array structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A filling system with a valve array structure comprises a compressed gas delivery mechanism, a high-temperature steam delivery mechanism and a filling machine; the compressed gas delivery mechanism is connected to the filling machine, and the high-temperature steam delivery mechanism is connected to the compressed gas delivery mechanism;

[0007] The filling machine comprises a filling pipeline and a filling machine body, one end of the filling pipeline is connected to the beverage concentrate storage tank, and the other end is connected to the filling machine body; a flow regulating valve is installed on the filling pipeline;

[0008] The high-temperature steam delivery mechanism includes a high-temperature steam delivery pipe and a first solenoid valve; one end of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe is connected to a high-temperature steam source, and the other end is connected to the compressed gas delivery mechanism; the first solenoid valve is installed on the high-temperature steam delivery pipe.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when filling beverages, the compressed gas delivery mechanism delivers compressed gas to the filling pipeline, and the beverage concentrate flows from the beverage concentrate storage tank into the filling pipeline. During filling, the compressed air generates pressure on the beverage concentrate in the filling pipeline, so that the beverage concentrate flows out of the filling pipeline and is filled into the container. When the beverage variety to be filled needs to be changed, the flow regulating valve is closed, the beverage concentrate is stopped from being delivered, the first solenoid valve is opened, and the high-temperature steam enters the compressed gas delivery mechanism after passing through the high-temperature steam delivery pipe. The high-temperature steam sterilizes the compressed gas delivery mechanism at high temperature. At the same time, the high-temperature steam enters the filling pipeline through the compressed gas delivery mechanism, and then enters the filling machine body along the filling pipeline to sterilize the filling machine synchronously. After the disinfection is completed, the corresponding solenoid valve is opened, and each pipeline is opened or closed accordingly to fill the new variety of beverages. During the sterilization and disinfection and beverage filling, the first solenoid valve and the flow regulating valve can be adjusted immediately, avoiding the corresponding slow speed and improving the efficiency of beverage filling. At the same time, by setting the solenoid valve, the use of the control box is reduced and the installation space of the equipment is saved.

[0010] In a specific possible implementation manner, the high-temperature steam delivery mechanism further includes a steam filter, which is installed on the high-temperature steam delivery pipe and is located at an end of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe away from the high-temperature steam source.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the steam filter is set to prevent dust and debris in the high-temperature steam pipeline from entering the compressed gas delivery mechanism and the filling pipeline along with the high-temperature steam, thereby preventing the beverage from being contaminated.

[0012] In a specific possible implementation manner, a temperature sensor is disposed on the filling machine body, and the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the high-temperature steam in the filling machine body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature sensor is arranged to facilitate sensing and detecting the temperature of the high-temperature steam in the filling machine body. The high-temperature steam generates heat loss when passing through the compressed air pipeline and the filling pipeline, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the high-temperature steam in the filling machine body. After the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the high-temperature steam is lower than a certain range, it sends a signal to the first solenoid valve to adjust the first solenoid valve to increase the flow rate of the high-temperature steam, so that the heat of the high-temperature steam in the filling machine body is maintained within a certain range, thereby improving the disinfection and sterilization efficiency of the compressed air pipeline, the filling pipeline and the filling machine body.

[0014] In a specific implementation scheme, it also includes a carbon dioxide delivery mechanism, which includes a carbon dioxide delivery pipe and a second solenoid valve; one end of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe is connected to a carbon dioxide gas source, and the other end is connected to the filling machine body, and the second solenoid valve is arranged on the carbon dioxide delivery pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a carbon dioxide delivery mechanism, when it is necessary to fill soda beverages, carbon dioxide enters the carbon dioxide delivery pipe from the carbon dioxide gas source, and enters the filling machine body through the carbon dioxide delivery pipe. Carbon dioxide is injected while filling the soda beverage concentrate, thereby realizing the filling of soda beverages and improving the efficiency of soda beverage filling.

[0016] In a specific implementation manner, the carbon dioxide delivery mechanism further includes a carbon dioxide filter, which is installed on the carbon dioxide delivery pipe and is located between the filling machine body and the second solenoid valve.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the carbon dioxide filter is set to prevent dust and debris in the high-temperature steam delivery pipe from entering the compressed gas delivery mechanism and the filling pipeline along with the high-temperature steam, thereby preventing the beverage from being contaminated.

[0018] In a specific implementation manner, the carbon dioxide delivery pipe is connected to the high-temperature steam delivery pipe at one end close to the filling machine.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a carbon dioxide delivery pipe to connect with the high-temperature steam delivery pipe, it is convenient to allow high-temperature steam to enter the carbon dioxide delivery pipe when changing beverage products to disinfect and sterilize the carbon dioxide delivery pipe, thereby preventing bacteria in the carbon dioxide delivery pipe from entering the finished beverage during the production of soda beverages.

[0020] In a specific implementation scheme, the compressed gas delivery mechanism includes a compressed gas delivery pipe and a third solenoid valve; one end of the compressed gas delivery pipe is connected to a compressed gas source, and the other end is connected to the filling pipeline; the third solenoid valve is arranged on the compressed gas delivery pipe.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a compressed gas delivery mechanism is set up. When it is necessary to fill the beverage, the third solenoid valve is opened, and the compressed gas enters the compressed gas delivery pipe from the compressed gas source, and enters the filling pipeline after passing through the compressed gas delivery pipe. The compressed gas generates pressure on the beverage concentrate in the filling pipeline, so that the beverage concentrate flows out of the filling pipeline and is filled into the container, thereby realizing the filling of the beverage. At the same time, the third solenoid valve can also realize the flow control of the compressed gas, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the compressed gas on the beverage concentrate is within a certain range.

[0022] In a specific possible implementation manner, the compressed gas delivery mechanism further includes a compressed gas filter, the compressed gas filter is installed on the compressed gas delivery pipe, and the compressed gas filter is located between the filling machine body and the third solenoid valve.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a compressed gas filter, dust and debris in the compressed gas delivery pipe are prevented from entering the filling pipeline along with the compressed gas, thereby contaminating the beverage.

[0024] In a specific possible implementation manner, a pressure sensor is further provided on the filling machine body, and the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the compressed gas on the beverage concentrate in the filling pipeline.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when filling beverages, the pressure sensor detects the pressure of compressed gas on the beverage concentrate, thereby preventing the beverage from overflowing from the container due to excessive pressure or insufficient filling liquid level due to insufficient pressure, thereby ensuring the quality of beverage filling.

[0026] In a specific possible implementation manner, a pressure relief valve is provided in the middle section of the compressed gas delivery pipe, and the pressure relief valve is communicated with the inner cavity of the compressed gas delivery pipe.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve opens and the compressed gas is released until the compressed gas returns to the pressure within the normal range, and then the pressure relief valve closes; the set pressure relief valve facilitates ensuring that the pressure of the compressed gas on the beverage concentrate is maintained within a certain range, thereby improving the filling efficiency.

[0028] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. The first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve and the third solenoid valve are respectively used to control the opening and closing of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe, the carbon dioxide delivery pipe and the compressed gas delivery pipe, thereby achieving instant control of the flow of transported materials and facilitating the improvement of beverage filling efficiency.

[0030] 2. A high-temperature steam delivery mechanism is set up. The high-temperature steam enters the compressed gas delivery pipe and the carbon dioxide delivery pipe after passing through the high-temperature steam delivery pipe. The high-temperature steam sterilizes the compressed gas delivery pipe and the carbon dioxide delivery pipe at high temperature. At the same time, the high-temperature steam enters the filling pipeline through the compressed gas delivery pipe and the carbon dioxide delivery pipe, and then enters the filling machine body along the filling pipeline to sterilize the filling machine simultaneously, so as to avoid the generation of bacteria when filling new beverage products and improve the disinfection quality.

One end of the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 is connected to a compressed gas source, and the other end is connected to a filling pipeline 31. The third solenoid valve 12 is provided at one end of the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 close to the compressed gas source. The compressed gas filter 13 and the pressure relief valve 14 are both provided on the compressed gas delivery pipe 11. The pressure relief valve 14 is located at one end of the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 close to the filling pipeline 31, and the compressed gas filter 13 is located between the third solenoid valve 12 and the pressure relief valve 14.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The carbon dioxide delivery mechanism 4 includes a carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41, a second solenoid valve 42 and a carbon dioxide filter 43; one end of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 is connected to the carbon dioxide gas source, and the other end is connected to the filling machine body 32. The second solenoid valve 42 is installed at the end of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 close to the carbon dioxide gas source, and the carbon dioxide filter 43 is installed at the end of the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 close to the filling machine body 32.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The high-temperature steam delivery mechanism 2 includes a high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21, a first solenoid valve 22 and a steam filter 23; one end of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 is connected to a high-temperature steam source, and the other end is respectively connected to a compressed air delivery pipe and a carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41. The first solenoid valve 22 is installed at one end of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 close to the high-temperature steam source, and the steam filter 23 is installed at one end of the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 away from the high-temperature steam source.

[0039] In particular, a stop valve is provided between the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 and the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 and between the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 and the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41. When filling beverages, the stop valves are in a closed state to prevent carbon dioxide gas or compressed air from entering the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 and affecting the filling of the beverages.

[0040] The implementation principle of the filling system with a valve array structure in this embodiment is as follows: when filling beverages, first, the flow regulating valve 311 is opened, and the beverage concentrate flows from the beverage concentrate storage tank into the filling pipeline 31, the third solenoid valve 12 is opened, and the compressed gas enters the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 from the compressed gas source, and is filtered by the compressed gas filter 13 to isolate dust and impurities, and the filtered compressed gas enters the filling pipeline 31, and the compressed gas generates pressure on the beverage concentrate, so that the beverage concentrate flows out from the filling pipeline 31 and is filled through the filling machine body 32. to the corresponding container; when filling soda beverages, the second solenoid valve 42 needs to be opened at the same time, and carbon dioxide enters the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 from the carbon dioxide gas source, and is filtered by the carbon dioxide filter 43 to isolate impurities and other gases. The filtered carbon dioxide gas enters the filling machine body 32, and is injected into the container together with the beverage concentrate through the filling machine body 32 to complete the filling of the soda beverage. After the filling is completed, the third solenoid valve 12 and the second solenoid valve 42 are closed, the compressed gas and carbon dioxide are stopped from being delivered, and the beverage concentrate is no longer filled into the container.

[0041] In particular, the pressure sensor 322 installed on the filling machine body 32 detects the pressure applied by the compressed air to the beverage concentrate in the filling pipeline 31; during the beverage filling process, when the pressure sensor 322 detects that the pressure is too low, the third solenoid valve 12 is adjusted to increase the flow rate of the compressed air, thereby increasing the pressure generated by the compressed air; when the pressure sensor 322 detects that the pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve 14 installed on the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 opens to release the excess pressure until the pressure returns to the normal range, and the pressure relief valve 14 closes.

[0042] When it is necessary to change the type of beverage to be filled, the third solenoid valve 12, the second solenoid valve 42 and the flow regulating valve 311 are closed, and the compressed gas, carbon dioxide and beverage concentrate are no longer delivered to the filling machine 3. The first solenoid valve 22 is opened, and the high-temperature steam is input from the high-temperature steam source into the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21, filtered by the steam filter 23, and impurities and dust are isolated. The filtered high-temperature steam enters the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 and the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 connected to the high-temperature steam delivery pipe 21 respectively, and the high-temperature steam in the compressed gas delivery pipe 11 enters the filling machine body 32 through the filling pipeline 31, and the high-temperature steam in the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41 is discharged. The steam directly enters the filling machine body 32, and the delivered high-temperature steam disinfects and sterilizes the compressed gas delivery pipe 11, the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41, the filling pipeline 31 and the filling machine body 32 respectively; in particular, the temperature sensor 321 installed on the filling machine body 32 monitors the temperature of the high-temperature steam in the filling machine body 32. When the temperature of the high-temperature steam is lower than a certain range, the first solenoid valve 22 is adjusted to increase the flow rate of the high-temperature steam, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the high-temperature steam is stable within a certain range, thereby ensuring the disinfection effect of the high-temperature steam on the compressed gas delivery pipe 11, the carbon dioxide delivery pipe 41, the filling pipeline 31 and the filling machine body 32.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
