[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the present utility model discloses a plunger type filling device for large particle fruit pulp, which includes a fruit pulp tank 1, a stirring device and a filling assembly. The fruit pulp tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a first discharge port 12. A plurality of first discharge ports 12 are arranged on the periphery of the tank body 11 in a circumferential array. The stirring device is used for stirring and mixing the fruit pulp in the tank body 11. The filling assembly includes a plunger cylinder 2, a filling valve 3 and a three-way valve 4. Each filling assembly is respectively connected to a first discharge port 12. The plunger cylinder 2 includes a cylinder barrel 21, a plunger 22, a guide rod 23, a second driving mechanism 24 and a second discharge port 25. The plunger 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 21. One end of the guide rod 23 is fixedly connected to the plunger 22, and the other end penetrates the top of the cylinder barrel 21 and is connected to the second driving mechanism 24. The second driving mechanism 24 is used for driving the plunger 22 to move up and down in the cylinder barrel 21. The filling valve 3 includes a third feed port 31 and a third discharge port 32. The three-way valve 4 is respectively connected to the first discharge port 12, the second discharge port 25 and the third feed port 31, and is used for controlling the second discharge port 25 to communicate with the first discharge port 12 and the third feed port 31 respectively.
[0035] It can be understood that the stirring device can stir and mix the fruit pulp in the tank body 11 to ensure the uniformity of the particles in the fruit pulp. When the three-way valve 4 controls the first discharge port 12 to communicate with the second discharge port 25 and the third feed port 31 is closed, the plunger cylinder 2 can draw the large particle fruit pulp from the fruit pulp tank 1 into the cylinder barrel 21. When the three-way valve 4 controls the second discharge port 25 to communicate with the third feed port 31 and the first discharge port 12 is closed, the plunger cylinder 2 can inject the large particle fruit pulp from the cylinder barrel 21 into the filling valve 3 and inject it into the beverage bottle to be filled through the filling valve 3. Using the plunger cylinder 2 to extract and inject the large particle fruit pulp can ensure the integrity of the particles of the filled product.
[0036] The plunger cylinder 2 in this embodiment further includes a water inlet 26, which is provided at the upper part of the cylinder barrel 21, and the second discharge port 25 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder barrel 21.

The water inlet 26 is provided at the top of the upper cylinder barrel 211, and the second discharge port 25 is provided at the bottom of the lower cylinder barrel 212. It should be noted that the lower cylinder barrel 212 and the plunger 22 cooperate to extract and inject large-particle fruit pulp. When the plunger 22 moves to the middle of the upper cylinder barrel 211, the upper cylinder barrel 211 and the water inlet 213 cooperate to thoroughly clean the inside of the plunger 22 and the cylinder barrel 21.
[0037] The stirring device in this embodiment includes a first driving mechanism 13 and a stirring structure 14. The stirring structure 14 is rotatably arranged in the tank body 11, and the first driving mechanism 13 is used to drive the stirring structure 14 to rotate. Specifically, the stirring structure 14 includes a rotating shaft 141 and stirring blades 142. The rotating shaft 141 is horizontally arranged in the tank body 11, one end is connected to the inner wall of the tank body 11, and the other end passes through the tank body 11 and is connected to the first driving mechanism 13. An installation sleeve and a sealing component are provided on the side wall of the tank body 11. The installation sleeve is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 141 inside the tank body 11. The sealing component is used to ensure the airtightness between the tank body 11 and the rotating shaft 141 and prevent the fruit pulp from leaking out of the side wall of the tank body 11. In addition, the stirring blades 142 are arranged in the shape of beveled scrapers. The two stirring blades 142 are arranged on the rotating shaft 141 away from each other. The first driving mechanism 13 is preferably a reduction motor, which can drive the stirring structure 14 to stir and mix the fruit pulp and fruit particles in the tank body 11 and avoid damaging the integrity of the fruit particles.
[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , the three-way valve 4 in this embodiment includes a valve body 41, a piston 42 and a fourth driving mechanism 43. The fourth driving mechanism 43 is used to drive the piston 42 to move horizontally in the valve body 41. When the piston 42 moves horizontally to one end of the valve body 41, the first discharge port 12 is communicated with the second discharge port 25, and the third feed port 31 is closed, so that the plunger cylinder 2 can draw large-particle fruit pulp from the fruit pulp tank 1 into the cylinder barrel 21; when the piston 42 moves horizontally to the other end of the valve body 41, the second discharge port 25 is communicated with the third feed port 32, and the first discharge port 12 is closed, so that the plunger cylinder 2 can inject large-particle fruit pulp from the cylinder barrel 21 into the filling valve 3.
[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5, in this embodiment, the filling valves 3 are arranged on the outer periphery of the tank body 11 in a circumferential array. The filling valve 3 includes a valve sleeve 33 and a valve core 34 that are adapted to each other, and a third driving mechanism 35. The third driving mechanism 35 is used to drive the valve core 34 to move up and down in the valve sleeve 33. Specifically, 32 first discharge ports 12 are provided on the periphery of the tank body 11, and 32 filling assemblies are correspondingly provided. Among them, 32 filling valves are arranged on the outer periphery of the tank body 11 in a circumferential array, which can be applied to a rotary filling production line.
[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the third feed port 31 is arranged above the side wall of the valve sleeve 33, the third discharge port 32 is arranged at the bottom of the valve sleeve 33, and the bottom end of the valve core 34 is set to be conical. When the bottom end of the valve core 34 moves to the third discharge port 32, the blockage at the third discharge port 32 can be pushed out. It should be noted that in the initial state, the valve core 34 is located at the bottom end of the valve sleeve 33 and closes the third discharge port 32. When the bottom of the third discharge port 32 is docked with the beverage bottle to be filled, the valve core 34 moves upward in the valve sleeve 33, so that the third feed port 31 is communicated with the third discharge port 32. The plunger cylinder 2 can inject large-particle fruit pulp from the cylinder barrel 21 into the filling valve 3 and inject it into the beverage bottle to be filled through the filling valve 3. In addition, a bottle clamping mechanism 5 is further included. The bottle clamping mechanism 5 is arranged below the third discharge port 32 and is used to clamp and fix the beverage bottle to be filled.
