Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material packaging, in particular to an anti-drip funnel. Background Art
[0002] In the field of food processing and packaging, traditional packaging technology faces many challenges, especially for the packaging of materials containing liquid residues, such as pickled pickles. During the packaging process of such materials, although solids and liquids are usually designed to be fed separately, in actual operation, a certain amount of liquid will inevitably remain on the solid materials. During the packaging process, these residual liquids are very likely to flow down along the wall of the hopper, causing pollution to the outer surface and seal of the packaging bag.
[0003] The single-layer inclined funnel design in the prior art cannot effectively intercept and collect the outflowing liquids due to its structural limitations. Once these liquids drip onto the packaging bag, they will not only affect the neatness of the packaging bag's appearance, but more importantly, they will contaminate the sealing area, resulting in a decline in the sealing quality or even a loose seal. In the subsequent sterilization process, the loosely sealed packaging bag is very likely to leak air or liquid, which not only damages the shelf life and safety of the product, but also causes waste of raw materials and increased production costs.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] Combination Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the anti-drip funnel of the utility model comprises a funnel body 1 which is placed at the opening of the bagging package and is used for feeding solid and liquid materials.
[0024] The receiving plate 2 is arranged on the outside of the funnel body 1, and is used to receive the liquid residue on the outer wall of the funnel body 1 to prevent the liquid residue from flowing to the outside of the packaging bag and contaminating the sealing part of the packaging bag;
[0025] The connecting pipe 3 is disposed on the receiving tray 2 and is connected to the receiving tray 2 to guide the liquid residue to a collection location.
[0026] When it is necessary to put the solid-liquid mixture into the bagging package, first place the funnel body 1 accurately at the opening of the bagging package to ensure that the material can enter the packaging bag smoothly and concentratedly. During the feeding process, due to the difference in the properties of the materials, especially when the solid and liquid are mixed, the liquid part may adhere to the outer wall of the funnel body 1 to form liquid residues. If these residues are not handled in time, they may drip along the funnel body 1 under the action of gravity, and then contaminate the outside of the packaging bag, and even penetrate into the seal, affecting the sealing of the seal and the overall cleanliness of the packaging bag. For this reason, a receiving tray 2 is cleverly set on the outside of the funnel body 1. The design position of the receiving tray 2 enables it to accurately capture the liquid that slides off the outer wall of the funnel body 1. The liquid residues collected in the receiving pan 2 are effectively blocked from continuing to fall. The existence of the receiving pan 2 is like an "interception net", which firmly controls potential pollution sources within a certain range and avoids the contamination of the outside and seal of the packaging bag by the liquid residues. In order to effectively treat the liquid residues collected in the receiving pan 2, a connecting pipe 3 is provided on the receiving pan 2 in the present invention. The connecting pipe 3 is interconnected with the inside of the receiving pan 2 to form a smooth diversion channel. After the feeding is completed, the operator can guide the liquid residues accumulated in the receiving pan 2 to a predetermined collection point, such as a waste liquid barrel or other treatment facilities, through the connecting pipe 3. This process is convenient and fast, and can ensure the reusability and environmental hygiene of the anti-drip funnel.
[0027] In summary, the anti-drip funnel of the present invention achieves effective interception and discharge of liquid residues during the feeding process through the ingenious combination of the receiving plate 2 and the connecting tube 3, thereby avoiding contamination of the outside of the packaging bag and the seal, and improving the cleanliness and efficiency of the feeding operation.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown; an inner hole is processed at the center of the receiving plate 2, wherein the inner hole is matched with the outer diameter of the funnel body 1, and the receiving plate 2 and the funnel body 1 are integrally formed. An inner hole is processed at the center of the receiving plate 2. This design makes the inner hole match the outer diameter of the funnel body 1, thereby achieving a close fit and seamless connection between the receiving plate 2 and the funnel body 1. More importantly, the receiving plate 2 and the funnel body 1 are designed to be integrally formed. The design principle of integral forming is that by directly connecting the receiving plate 2 and the funnel body 1 into a whole during the production process, the assembly gap and looseness problems that may exist in the traditional design are eliminated. This seamless connection not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency. At the same time, since the two are closely connected, the material feeding is reduced. The risk of leakage from the joints during the process is further enhanced, and the anti-drip effect is further improved. In terms of working principle, when the solid and liquid materials are put into the bagging and packaging through the funnel body 1, the liquid residue will naturally adhere to the outer wall of the funnel body 1. Since the receiving tray 2 and the funnel body 1 are integrally formed, and the central inner hole of the receiving tray 2 is tightly fitted with the outer diameter of the funnel body 1, these liquid residues will be immediately captured by the receiving tray 2 and confined inside it. Subsequently, through the guidance of the connecting tube 3, these liquid residues can be smoothly discharged to the collection point, avoiding pollution and inconvenience caused by the outflow of liquid. In summary, through the integral forming of the receiving tray 2 and the funnel body 1, the structural strength and anti-leakage performance of the anti-drip funnel are further enhanced, so that it can play a more stable and reliable role in the solid-liquid material feeding process.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown; the cross-section of the receiving tray 2 is U-shaped. The U-shaped cross-section of the receiving tray 2 means that it has a groove that opens upward, and the groove tightly surrounds the outer side of the funnel body 1. When the funnel body 1 is placed at the opening of the bagging package for feeding, the U-shaped receiving tray 2 can capture the liquid residues that slide down from the outer wall of the funnel body 1 in all directions. Due to its unique U-shaped structure, the bottom and both sides of the receiving tray 2 can effectively receive and store these residues to prevent them from dripping onto the outside of the packaging bag or the seal. In addition, the design of the U-shaped receiving tray 2 also takes into account the convenience of operation. Since it opens upward, the operator can clearly see the liquid accumulated inside the receiving tray 2. The U-shaped structure is convenient for connection with the connecting pipe 3 to ensure that the liquid residue can be smoothly discharged to the collection point. In terms of working principle, when the solid and liquid materials are put into the bagging and packaging through the funnel body 1, the liquid part may adhere to the outer wall of the funnel body 1 and slide along it. However, due to the presence of the U-shaped receiving tray 2, these liquid residues will be quickly captured and stored in the groove of the receiving tray 2. As the feeding process proceeds, the liquid residue in the receiving tray 2 will gradually accumulate. When the feeding is completed, the operator can discharge the residue in the receiving tray 2 to the predetermined collection point for treatment through the connecting pipe 3.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown; the horizontal height of the receiving tray 2 is lower than the horizontal height of the funnel body 1. From the perspective of structural layout, when the horizontal height of the receiving tray 2 is lower than the funnel body 1, it naturally forms a downward inclined surface. This inclined layout helps to guide the liquid residues sliding down from the outer wall of the funnel body 1 to flow directly into the receiving tray 2 instead of splashing or dripping everywhere. Therefore, even if liquid residues are generated during the feeding process, they can be effectively collected and stored, avoiding contamination of the outside and seal of the packaging bag. Secondly, from the perspective of operational convenience, since the receiving tray 2 is located below the funnel body 1, the operator can It is more convenient to observe and clean the liquid residue in the receiving tray 2. When the feeding is completed, the operator only needs to simply check the accumulated liquid in the receiving tray 2 and guide it to the collection point through the connecting pipe 3. This process not only saves time and effort, but also improves work efficiency and cleanliness. Finally, from a safety perspective, the low-level receiving tray 2 reduces the risk of accidental splashing of liquid residue. During the feeding process, even if the liquid residue falls off the outer wall of the funnel body 1 due to certain reasons such as material impact, vibration, etc., they will fall directly into the receiving tray 2 due to gravity, and will not spread around or splash onto the operator.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: Figure 1, Figure 2 As shown; the highest point of the connecting pipe 3 is flush with the inner bottom of the receiving pan 2. From the perspective of structural layout, the highest point of the connecting pipe 3 is flush with the inner bottom of the receiving pan 2, which means that there is no obstacle between the two that hinders the flow of liquid. This design ensures that the liquid residue accumulated in the receiving pan 2 can be smoothly discharged to the collection point through the connecting pipe 3. During the feeding process, as the liquid residue accumulates in the receiving pan 2, they will naturally flow to the inlet of the connecting pipe 3 and flow downward along the connecting pipe 3 under the action of gravity until they are completely discharged. Secondly, from the perspective of operational convenience, the flush design reduces the operator's time and effort in cleaning and discharging the liquid residue. Since the inlet of the connecting pipe 3 is flush with the inner bottom of the receiving pan 2, the operator does not need to worry about the liquid residue being retained in a corner or dead corner of the receiving pan 2 during the export process. At the same time, this design also makes it easy for the operator to observe and judge the accumulation of liquid in the receiving pan 2, so as to take timely measures to clean it up. Finally, from the perspective of leak-proof performance, the flush design of the connecting pipe 3 and the inner bottom of the receiving pan 2 helps to reduce the risk of leakage of liquid residue during the export process. Since there is no height difference or gap between the two, the liquid residue can maintain continuity and stability when flowing out of the receiving pan 2 and entering the connecting pipe 3, thereby avoiding secondary pollution caused by leakage.
[0032] The specific working principle of the anti-drip funnel of the utility model is as follows:
[0033] The anti-drip funnel of the present invention aims to solve the problem of liquid residues polluting the packaging bag and the seal during the feeding process of solid and liquid materials. Its overall design includes three main components: a funnel body 1, a receiving plate 2 and a connecting pipe 3, and each component works together to achieve the anti-drip function.
[0034] Firstly, the funnel body 1 is accurately placed at the opening of the bagging package as a feeding channel for solid and liquid materials. During the feeding process, due to the difference in the properties of the materials, especially when the solid and liquid are mixed, the liquid part may adhere to the outer wall of the funnel body 1 to form liquid residues. In order to receive these liquid residues and prevent them from dripping to the outside of the packaging bag and the seal, the present invention provides a receiving tray 2 on the outside of the funnel body 1. The design of the receiving tray 2 fully considers the leak-proof performance. An inner hole matching the outer diameter of the funnel body 1 is processed at the center, and the two are integrally formed. This design not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also eliminates the assembly gap, reducing the risk of liquid residues leaking from the joints. Furthermore, the cross-section of the receiving tray 2 is designed to be U This shape can fully receive the liquid residues sliding down from the outer wall of the funnel body 1 to prevent them from splashing everywhere. At the same time, the horizontal height of the receiving tray 2 is designed to be lower than the horizontal height of the funnel body 1. This inclined layout helps to guide the liquid residues to flow directly into the receiving tray 2 and reduce the risk of splashing. In order to guide the liquid residues accumulated in the receiving tray 2 to the collection point, the present invention provides a connecting pipe 3 on the receiving tray 2. The connecting pipe 3 is connected to the receiving tray 2, and its highest point is flush with the inner bottom of the receiving tray 2. This design ensures that the liquid residues can be smoothly guided out through the connecting pipe 3. After the feeding is completed, the operator can guide the residues in the receiving tray 2 to the predetermined collection point for treatment through the connecting pipe 3.
[0035] In summary, the anti-drip funnel of the present invention realizes the effective interception, reception and discharge of liquid residues during the feeding process through the coordinated work of the funnel body 1, the receiving plate 2 and the connecting tube 3, thereby avoiding contamination of the outside of the packaging bag and the seal, and improving the cleanliness and efficiency of the feeding operation.
