[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In order to solve the problem of low filling efficiency of a filling machine, the utility model proposes a filling machine 1000, comprising:

[0032] A frame 1, a material storage device, a turntable 2 and a filling mechanism, wherein the material storage device is arranged on the frame 1 and is used to store filling raw materials; the turntable 2 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and the turntable 2 has a plurality of filling stations 21 distributed along the circumference of the rotating axis of the turntable 2, and each filling station 21 is formed with a plurality of filling grooves 211 distributed along the radial direction of the turntable 2, and the filling grooves 211 are used to accommodate filling containers a; the filling mechanism includes a filling head 31 corresponding to each filling groove 211 in any filling station 21, and each filling head 31 is arranged on the frame 1 and connected to the material storage device.

[0033] In the technical solution of the utility model, during filling, a filling station 21 on the turntable 2 rotates to the bottom of each filling head 31, and the filling raw materials in the storage device are poured into the filling containers a in each filling tank 211 through the filling head 31, thereby completing the simultaneous filling of multiple filling containers a; the filling machine 1000 can realize a single filling of multiple filling containers a, thereby improving the filling efficiency of the filling machine 1000.

[0034] In one embodiment, the turntable 2 has ten filling stations 21 , and each filling station 21 forms ten filling slots 211 , so that the turntable 2 can fill ten filling containers a each time it rotates, thereby improving the filling efficiency of the filling machine 1000 .

[0035] In one embodiment, the filling mechanism further includes a sensing mechanism, which includes a first infrared sensor 41, which is disposed on the frame 1 and is disposed near a filling head 31. The first infrared sensor 41 is disposed facing the turntable 2, and the first infrared sensor 41 is electrically connected to the turntable 2. When the filling station 21 does not rotate to the bottom of the filling head 31, the distance measured by the first infrared sensor 41 from the first infrared sensor 41 to the surface of the turntable 2 does not change, and the turntable 2 rotates normally; when the filling station 21 rotates to the bottom of the filling head 31, since the distance measured by the first infrared sensor 41 is the distance from the first infrared sensor 41 to the top of the filling container a accommodated in the filling tank 211, the measured distance decreases, and at this time, the first infrared sensor 41 sends a signal to control the turntable 2 to stop rotating, and the filling head 31 starts to fill the filling container a, thereby realizing the automatic rotation of the turntable 2.

[0036] In one embodiment, the filling machine 1000 further includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt 51 and a feeding robot 52. The conveyor belt 51 is arranged on the frame 1, and the conveyor belt 51 has a feeding station 511. The conveyor belt 51 is used to transport the filling container a to the feeding station 511. The feeding robot 52 is arranged on the frame 1, and the feeding robot 52 is used to move the filling container a located at the feeding station 511 to a filling tank 211. The feeding robot 52 cooperates with the conveyor belt 51 to realize automatic feeding for filling, thereby improving feeding efficiency and facilitating user operation.

[0037] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a first turning device 53, which is disposed on the frame 1 and located at the loading station 511. In order to prevent impurities from falling into the filling container a, the filling container a is placed horizontally before loading. During loading, the first turning device 53 can turn the horizontally placed filling container a over to facilitate the filling operation.

[0038] In one embodiment, the sensing mechanism further includes a second infrared sensor 42, which is disposed on the frame 1 and faces the loading station 511, and is electrically connected to the conveyor belt 51. When the second infrared sensor 42 is not blocked, it indicates that there is no filling container a on the loading station 511, and the conveyor belt 51 continues to operate to move the filling container a to the loading station 511; when the second infrared sensor 42 is blocked, it indicates that there is a filling container a on the loading station 511, and the second infrared sensor 42 sends a signal to control the conveyor belt 51 to stop operating to avoid material blocking; thus, the automation of loading is realized, which is convenient for the user's operation, and can also prevent the filling container a from flowing into the next process without being filled.

[0039] In one embodiment, the sensing mechanism includes a first infrared sensor 41 disposed adjacent to each filling head 31. Each first infrared sensor 41 is used to monitor the filling status of the filling container a in the corresponding filling tank 211. When the filling containers a in all the filling tanks 211 on a filling station 21 are filled, all the first infrared sensors 41 send a signal together to control the rotation of the turntable 2 to fill the filling container a on the next filling station 21.

[0040] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding robot 54, which is disposed on the frame 1. The conveyor belt 51 further includes a feeding station 512. The feeding robot 54 is used to move the filling containers a in each filling tank 211 to the feeding station 512. The feeding robot 54 cooperates with the conveyor belt 51 to realize automatic feeding of the filling containers a after the filling is completed, thereby improving feeding efficiency and facilitating user operation.

[0041] In one embodiment, the sensing mechanism includes a third infrared sensor 43, which is disposed on the frame 1 and facing the unloading station 512, and is electrically connected to the conveyor belt 51. When the third infrared sensor 43 is not blocked, it means that there is no filling container a on the unloading station 512, and the conveyor belt 51 stops to wait for the filling container a that has been filled; when the third infrared sensor 43 is blocked, it means that there is a filling container a on the unloading station 512, and the third infrared sensor 43 sends a signal to control the conveyor belt 51 to operate to avoid blocking; in this way, the unloading automation is realized, and the filling container a after filling is conveyed to the next process.

[0042] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a second turning device 55, which is disposed on the frame 1 and located at the unloading station 512. The second turning device 55 can turn over the filled container a after filling and place it horizontally again to prevent impurities in the air from falling into the just filled part and affecting the filling effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, the filling mechanism further includes a filling control module 32, which is disposed on the frame 1 and electrically connected to each first infrared sensor 41. The filling control module 32 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the material storage device and each filling head 31. The filling control module 32 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the material storage device and each filling head 31, so as to prevent the filling head 31 from filling the filling material to a place other than the filling container a, thereby avoiding the waste of the filling material and saving resources.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
