DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The utility model is now described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A beverage filling device comprises a beverage piping system and a filling head 7, wherein the beverage piping system comprises a plurality of filling branches 1 arranged in parallel, the filling head 7 is detachably arranged at the bottom end of the filling branch 7, a lifting mechanism is arranged below the beverage piping system, the lifting mechanism drives the beverage piping system and the filling head 7 to rise and fall synchronously, when the beverage piping system and the filling head 7 are lowered, the filling head 7 extends into a container 8; wherein the container 8 is arranged in a conveyor belt 9, the container 8 is transported by the conveyor belt 9 before and after filling, and the diameter of the container 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the filling head 7.

[0021] When in use, the conveyor belt 9 conveys the empty container 8 to the bottom of the filling head 7, and then the lifting mechanism drives the whole (beverage pipeline system and filling head) to move downward, and then the filling head 7 enters the container 8 to start filling; after the filling is completed, the lifting mechanism drives the whole to move upward to separate the filling head 7 from the container 8, and the filled container is transported along the conveyor belt again, and this cycle is repeated to achieve continuous filling of beverages.

[0022] In the utility model, the beverage pipeline system also includes a filling tube 2, a feed tube 3, a bellows 4 and a conduit 5. The filling tube 2 is horizontally arranged and connected to multiple filling branch tubes 1. One end of the feed tube 3 is connected to the filling tube 2, and the other end is connected to the conduit 5 through the bellows 4. The beverage enters the container 8 in sequence through the conduit 5, the bellows 4, the feed tube 3, the filling tube 2 and the filling branch tube 1.

[0023] The lifting mechanism includes a fixed cylinder 31, a cylinder 32 and a fixed plate 33, wherein the fixed cylinder 31 is fixed to the outer wall of the feed pipe 3, the piston rod 321 of the cylinder 32 passes through the fixed plate 33 and is connected to the fixed cylinder 31, the fixed plate 33 extends toward the filling branch pipe 5 and is fixedly connected to the filling rack 6, the extension and retraction of the piston rod 321 drives the whole to rise and fall synchronously, wherein the piston rod 321 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 33; a limiting groove 61 is provided in the filling rack 6 along its own length direction, the filling branch pipe 1 extends downward through the limiting groove 61, an upper locking nut 62 and a lower locking nut 63 are provided on the circumference of the filling branch pipe 6, the outer wall of the filling branch pipe is provided with a thread matching the upper locking nut 62 and the lower locking nut 63, and the filling branch pipe 1 is fixed to the filling rack 6 by the upper locking nut 62 and the lower locking nut 63.

[0024] Due to the establishment of the bellows 4, when the piston rod 321 is extended, the feed tube 3 and the fixed plate 33 move upward, and after the movement, the filling tube 2 and the filling branch tube 1 move upward, and the bellows 4 is squeezed and compressed back; when the piston rod 321 contracts, the whole moves downward, and the filling head 7 extends into the container 8, and the bellows is stretched at this time; that is to say, the establishment of the bellows 4 can meet the overall lifting and lowering, avoid blocking the beverage flow path, and realize the filling needs.

[0025] In the present invention, the conveyor belt 9 first runs to transport the container to the bottom of the filling head 7, at which time the piston rod 321 retracts to allow the filling head 7 to extend into the container 8 to achieve filling; after the filling is completed, the piston rod 321 extends to allow the filling head 7 to separate from the container, at which time the conveyor belt 9 runs again to transport the empty container, and this cycle is repeated to achieve continuous filling.

[0026] During the filling process, a large amount of foam will be generated when the beverage is directly injected into the container, and the foam may overflow the container and spill. The establishment of the filling head 7 can avoid this phenomenon; please refer to Figure 5 The filling head 7 includes a threaded connection port 71, an outer drainage cover 72 and an inner drainage cover 73. The connection port 71 is integrated with the outer drainage cover 72. The inner drainage cover 73 is fixed in the outer drainage cover 72 by a fixing rod 75. A filling channel 74 is formed between the outer drainage cover 72 and the inner drainage cover 73, and the beverage flows out in the filling channel 74.

[0027] The outer drainage hood and the inner drainage hood are both conical, so the basis of the filling channel 74 is the conical surface. During the filling process, the beverage will enter the container 8 along the surface of the inner drainage hood 73. After entering the container 8, the beverage will maintain the original trajectory and eventually flow to the inner wall of the container 8; that is, the liquid beverage flows through the surface of the inner drainage hood 73 to the inner wall of the container 8, and is finally filled along the inner wall of the container, thereby avoiding the direct injection of the beverage to generate a large amount of foam, and at the same time avoiding the overflow and waste of the beverage.

[0028] Based on the above embodiment, solenoid valves are respectively provided on the multiple filling branch pipes 1, wherein the solenoid valves, cylinders and conveyor belts are all operated through the execution logic in the PLC control system. This execution logic is the existing technology in the filling field and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
