[0002] With the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle and the improvement of the consumption level by people, the juice filling industry has gradually emerged and developed rapidly. Various flavored and packaged juice products have emerged on the market, meeting the needs of different consumers. At the same time, juice filling technology is also constantly innovating and improving, injecting new vitality into the development of the industry.

[0003] The juice filling process is a process of filling processed fresh juice into bottles or packaging bags and sealing them to extend the shelf life of the juice, making it convenient for carrying and selling. Usually, the juice filling process can use automatic filling equipment.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , an automatic loading and unloading device for juice production of the present utility model includes: a base 1, a feeding drive mechanism 2, a lifting drive mechanism 3, a swing support frame 4, a rotation drive mechanism 5 and a swing clamping arm mechanism 6; the feeding drive mechanism 2 and the lifting drive mechanism 3 are respectively disposed on the base 1, and the feeding drive mechanism 2 is drivingly connected to the lifting drive mechanism 3; the swing support frame 4 is connected to the lifting drive mechanism 3, the rotation drive mechanism 5 is disposed on the side of the swing support frame 4, at least one swing clamping arm mechanism 6 is movably disposed on the swing support frame 4, and the rotation drive mechanism 5 is drivingly connected to the swing clamping arm mechanism 6.

[0028] Specifically, when the automatic loading and unloading device for juice production of the present utility model is in the working process, after the lifting drive mechanism 3 drives the swing support frame 4 to rise to a preset position, at least one empty bottle flowing in from the empty bottle assembly line is clamped by the swing clamping arm mechanism 6; then, the feeding drive mechanism 2 is activated and drives the lifting drive mechanism 3 to move forward to a preset working station; the lifting drive mechanism 3 then drives the swing support frame 4 and the swing clamping arm mechanism 6 clamping the empty bottle to descend to a preset position. Next, after the rotation drive mechanism 5 is activated, it drives each swing clamping mechanism 6 to rotate to a preset angle so that the empty bottle can be exactly placed above the working station of the external filling equipment. After the juice filling is completed, the feeding drive mechanism 2 drives the swing clamping arm mechanism 6 to retreat to a preset position, and then the bottle is released onto another assembly line to complete the subsequent process.

[0030] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism 3 includes a lifting support base 301, a plurality of lifting guide sleeves 302, a plurality of lifting connecting columns 303, a lifting support plate 304, a lifting drive cylinder 305, and a lifting telescopic rod 306; the lifting support base 301 is disposed on the base 1, and the lifting support base 301 is connected to the feed linkage block 204; the plurality of lifting guide sleeves 302 are evenly distributed around the lifting support base 301, and each lifting connecting column 303 is movably sleeved in a corresponding lifting guide sleeve 302, and each lifting guide sleeve 302 is connected to the bottom of the lifting support plate 304; the lifting drive cylinder 305 is fixedly connected to the lifting support base 301, the lifting drive cylinder 305 is drivingly connected to the lifting telescopic rod 306, and the lifting telescopic rod 306 is connected to the lifting support plate 304. Specifically, the feed linkage block 204 is respectively connected to the feed telescopic rod 203 and the lifting support base 301, so that the feed drive mechanism 2 and the lifting drive mechanism 3 are linked; thus, when the feed linkage block 204 moves, the lifting support base 301 can be pushed above the base 1, and at this time, the other end of each lifting connecting column 303 relative to the end connected to the lifting support plate 304 can slide above the base 1.

[0034] Specifically, after the lifting driving cylinder 305 drives the lifting support plate 304 to a preset position, the rotary driving cylinder 501 can drive the swing rotating shaft 503 to rotate forward or backward through the coupling 502. Further, each swing arm structure 601 is driven by the swing rotating shaft 503. After the swing arm structure 601 swings to a preset angle, the clamping driving cylinder 602 can drive the jaw structure 603 to open or clamp, so as to realize the function of driving the bottle to swing from one preset angle to another preset angle and then clamping or releasing the bottle.

[0035] In summary, an automatic loading and unloading device for fruit juice production according to the present invention is respectively provided with a base 1, a feeding driving mechanism 2, a lifting driving mechanism 3, a swing support frame 4, a rotary driving mechanism 5, and a swing clamping arm mechanism 6.

An automatic loading and unloading device for fruit juice production according to the present invention can realize automatic loading and unloading actions in the process of filling fruit juice. Therefore, an automatic loading and unloading device for fruit juice production according to the present invention solves the technical problem of how to improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the fruit juice filling process.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0037] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model.
