It is required to complete a series of processes such as unpacking, feeding, filling, sealing, and discharging in a set of equipment. How to design in a limited space to achieve the above processes. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a semi-automatic soft bag filling and sealing device, which solves the problem that the prior art requires the filling and sealing of soft bag products to be completed in a limited space.

[0006] The utility model is realized as follows: a semi-automatic container filling and sealing device includes an unpacking area and a filling and sealing area. The filling and sealing area is provided with a turntable, and the turntable is provided with an installation part for fixing the container. The periphery of the turntable is sequentially provided with a feeding station, a filling station, a sealing station, and a discharging station. The unpacking area is arranged on one side of the discharging station. The feeding station is provided with a first conveying mechanism for conveying the container in the unpacking area to the feeding station, and the discharging station is provided with a second conveying mechanism for discharging towards a direction away from the first conveying mechanism.

[0007] The container enters the unpacking area. After being unpacked manually, the container is placed on the first conveying mechanism. After the first conveying mechanism transports the container to the loading station, the container is then placed in the installation part on the turntable. Through the rotation of the turntable, the container successively passes through the filling station, the sealing station, and the discharging station to complete the filling and sealing of the container. After completing the filling and sealing of the container, it is necessary to manually clean and sterilize the filling and sealing system at the filling and sealing station. Considering the interference between the operating stations, in the present utility model, the loading station, the filling station, the sealing station, and the discharging station are sequentially arranged on the circumferential side of the turntable. Then, the unpacking area is arranged on one side of the discharging station, avoiding the interference between the manual operation in the unpacking area and the manual operation in the filling and sealing station. At the same time, the unpacking station is specifically arranged on one side of the discharging station, which can reduce the conveying distance between the unpacking station and the loading station and reduce the conveying space. In addition, the product after filling and sealing at the discharging station is output through the second conveying mechanism, and the second conveying mechanism discharges in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism. Without adding new space, the layout of the second conveying mechanism can be realized. Overall, the spaces that need to be manually operated in the filling and sealing device of the present utility model will not interfere with each other, are convenient to operate, and can reasonably utilize the space with small space occupation.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a partition is provided between the unpacking area and the filling and sealing area.

[0009] The partition reduces the mutual influence of the environments between the unpacking area and the filling and sealing area, ensuring a sterile environment for filling and sealing.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a CIPSIP system is provided at the filling station.

[0011] The CIPSIP system is the abbreviation of the in-situ cleaning and sterilization system. After filling is completed, it is necessary to process the filling mechanism to ensure the cleanliness of subsequent filling and sealing; the CIPSIP system requires manual operation.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that the installation part includes side plates and a limiting plate. The side plates are spaced apart to accommodate the container, and the limiting plate is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the pipe orifice of the container.

[0013] The container is placed between the side plates for accommodating the container, and the limiting groove on the limiting plate fixes the container, thereby completing the fixation of the container; the pipe orifice of the container is stuck in the limiting groove, and the two side limiting plates play a role in preventing the containers from colliding with each other and being damaged.

[0014] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a filling mechanism is provided at the filling station. The filling mechanism includes a positioning member and a filling needle for filling. The positioning member is movable to fix the pipe orifice of the container, and the filling needle is arranged above the pipe orifice of the container in a liftable manner.

[0015] The positioning member can move towards the container direction, forming a clamping structure with the installation part for fixing the container, ensuring the stability of the container during the filling of the container by the filling needle and ensuring the filling accuracy.

[0016] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a welding mechanism is provided at the sealing station. The welding mechanism includes a first linear drive rail and a welding head. The welding head can slide along the first linear drive rail for successively passing by the containers on the installation part. The welding head can move to both sides of the container, and the welding head can be opened and closed for welding the container nozzle.

[0017] The welding head slides along the first linear drive rail to the container. After the welding head extends to both sides of the container and then approaches each other, the container nozzle is welded. Then the welding head returns to the first linear drive rail and continues to weld the containers at the sealing station in sequence.

[0018] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a first cylinder is provided at the end of the welding head, and a second cylinder is provided below the first cylinder. The second cylinder is placed on the first linear drive rail, and the driving direction of the first linear drive rail is perpendicular to the driving direction of the second cylinder.

[0019] There are two welding heads. The first cylinder at the end makes the two welding heads approach or move away from each other. The second cylinder below the first cylinder can drive the first cylinder to act in a direction perpendicular to the first linear drive rail, so that the two welding heads respectively move to both sides of the container on the side of the first linear drive rail. The second cylinder can move on the first linear drive rail, so that the containers on the turntable can be welded in sequence.

[0020] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that a discharging mechanism and a pushing mechanism are provided at the discharging station on the side of the container. The discharging mechanism is used to clamp and lift the container from both sides of the container, and the pushing mechanism is used to separate the container from the installation part.

[0021] After the container rotates to the discharging station, first, the discharging mechanism clamps the container and then rises, weakening the gravity of the container acting on the installation part. Then, the pushing mechanism pushes the container out of the installation part, which is convenient and not easy to damage the container. After the container is separated from the installation part, the discharging mechanism releases the container, and the container falls into the second conveying mechanism for discharging.

[0022] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that the pushing mechanism includes a pushing drive and a pushing member. The number of the pushing members is equal to the number of the containers at the discharging station. The pushing member is connected to the pushing drive for the pushing member to move in the reverse direction of the feeding direction on the installation part.

[0023] After the discharging mechanism clamps the container and rises, the pusher, under the action of the pushing drive, pushes the container out of the installation part, and the pushing direction of the pusher is opposite to the feeding direction of the installation part.

[0024] A further technical solution of the present utility model is that both the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are conveying mesh belts.

[0025] The discharging end of the second conveying mechanism is provided with a discharging area perpendicular to the second conveying mechanism, and this discharging area can be used for further processing of the sealed containers.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: In the present utility model, a feeding station, a filling station, a sealing station, and a discharging station are sequentially arranged on the circumferential side of the turntable, and then the unpacking area is arranged on one side of the discharging station, avoiding the interference between the manual operation in the unpacking area and the manual operation in the filling and sealing stations. At the same time, the unpacking station is specifically arranged on one side of the discharging station, which can reduce the conveying distance between the unpacking station and the feeding station, reduce the conveying space. In addition, the products after sealing at the discharging station are output through the second conveying mechanism, and the second conveying mechanism discharges in the direction away from the first conveying mechanism, and the layout of the second conveying mechanism can be realized without adding new space. Overall, there is no interference in the spaces that need manual operation in the filling and sealing device of the present utility model, and it is convenient to operate, and at the same time, the space can be reasonably utilized, and the space occupation is small.

One area is used to purify the outer package to ensure that the outer package is clean before entering the other area. Unpacking is carried out in the other area, and the unpacked containers are placed on the first conveying mechanism and conveyed to the feeding station.

[0047] In this embodiment, one end of the first conveying mechanism is in the unpacking area and the other end is in the sealing and filling area.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sealing and filling area is provided with a control button 14 for controlling the rotation of the turntable. The control button 14 is placed on one side of the first conveying mechanism. After manually fixing the container to the mounting part, press the button to start the rotation of the turntable.

[0050] In this embodiment, 4 groups of mounting components for fixing the container are evenly arranged on the turntable. One group of mounting components includes 4 mounting parts, and the 4 mounting parts are in a straight line, which is convenient for operation.

[0051] In this embodiment, a partition 11 is provided between the unpacking area 1 and the sealing and filling area 2.

[0052] The partition reduces the mutual influence of the environment between the unpacking area and the sealing and filling area, and ensures the aseptic environment for sealing and filling.

[0053] In this embodiment, the unpacking area includes a first area for placing the outer package and a second area for removing the outer package. There is a board between the first area and the second area, and the second area is connected to the sealing and filling area through the first conveying mechanism.

[0054] The first conveying mechanism passes through the partition for conveying the containers in the unpacking area to the feeding station.

[0055] In this embodiment, a CIPSIP system 12 is provided on the filling station 6.

[0056] The CIPSIP system is short for in-situ cleaning and sterilization system. After filling is completed, the filling mechanism needs to be processed to ensure the cleanliness of subsequent filling and sealing; the CIPSIP system requires manual operation.

[0059] In this embodiment, the side plates are on both sides of the container, and the limit plate is on the top of the container. An elastic ball is provided in the limit groove on the limit plate for limiting in the gravity direction.

[0067] There are two welding heads. The first cylinder at the end makes the two welding heads approach or move away from each other. The second cylinder below the first cylinder can drive the first cylinder to act in a direction perpendicular to the first linear drive guide rail, so that the two welding heads respectively move to both sides of the container on the side of the first linear drive guide rail. The second cylinder can move on the first linear drive guide rail, so that the containers on the turntable can be welded in sequence.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first linear drive guide rail includes a linear drive motor and a guide rail.

The discharging mechanism 81 is used to clamp and lift the container from both sides of the container, and the pushing mechanism 82 is used to separate the container from the mounting portion 4.

[0070] After the container rotates to the discharging station, it is first clamped by the discharging mechanism and then lifted to weaken the gravity of the container acting on the mounting portion. Then, the pushing mechanism pushes the container out of the mounting portion, which is convenient and not easy to damage the container. After the container is separated from the mounting portion, the discharging mechanism releases the container, and the container falls into the second conveying mechanism for discharging.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the container falls into the second conveying mechanism, the conveying is started again to ensure the integrity of the container and avoid damage.
