[0002] With the acceleration of people's life rhythm, the demand for fast and convenient beverages is increasing continuously. Therefore, beverage filling machines are more and more widely used in the beverage industry. However, the existing beverage filling machines have a low degree of automation. Workers need to manually place the pulp cups at the pulp nozzles, then press the start button. After the soy milk is made, the pulp cups are taken out and then manually capped. This not only requires a large amount of manual input, but also has a low filling efficiency.

[0003] In order to improve the filling efficiency of beverage filling machines, a commercial soymilk machine with automatic filling disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN216863632U includes a frame, a cup dropping assembly, a grinding assembly, a grouting assembly, a cup sealing assembly and a cup discharging assembly. A control center and a turntable are provided on the frame. The cup dropping assembly, the grouting assembly, the cup sealing assembly and the cup discharging assembly are arranged around the turntable in sequence. The turntable, the cup dropping assembly, the grinding assembly, the grouting assembly, the cup sealing assembly and the cup discharging assembly are controlled by the control center to work. There are a plurality of support positions for holding pulp cups on the turntable. The turntable rotates intermittently to align the cup dropping assembly, the grouting assembly, the cup sealing assembly and the cup discharging assembly with one support position. The cup dropping assembly is used to place empty pulp cups on the support positions. The grinding assembly is used to make pulp and convey the pulp to the grouting assembly.

[0069] When filling and packaging the beverage cup 101, first place the beverage cup 101 at the cup dropping device 30. The cup dropping device 30 sends the beverage cup 101 to the support seat 21. The rotating disk 20 drives the beverage cup 101 to rotate to the filling device 40. The filling device 40 fills the beverage cup 101 with a beverage. Then the rotating disk 20 drives the beverage cup 101 to rotate to the sealing device 50. The sealing device 50 performs hot pressing and sealing on the beverage cup 101. Finally, the rotating disk 20 drives the beverage cup 101 to rotate to the cup discharging device 60. The cup discharging device 60 pushes the beverage cup 101 out of the support seat 21, completing the full-automatic filling and packaging of the beverage cup 101, improving the efficiency and saving labor costs.

[0070] Only one staff member is required to operate the control center to control the beverage filling machine 100. The entire filling process of the beverage filling machine 100 is automatically completed, with a high degree of automation, reducing labor costs, and there is no need for manual operation by the staff, avoiding uncertain factors during the filling process due to human reasons, ensuring the filling quality, and the cup dropping, cup filling, and cup sealing can be carried out synchronously, effectively improving the filling efficiency, and is very suitable for use in catering places with a large demand for beverages such as school canteens and breakfast shops.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 12 shown, the beverage filling machine 100 is configured to fill and output m beverage cups 101 at a time, where m≥2, so as to improve the filling efficiency of the beverage cup 101. Within a unit time of 1 minute, the number of cups discharged by the cup discharging device 60 is greater than 15 cups, so that the beverage filling machine 100 can produce more than 900 cups per hour, and the average production time for each beverage cup 101 is less than 4 seconds.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 12As shown, the cup dropping device 30 outputs m beverage cups 101 to the support base 21 at one time; the filling device 40 fills the m beverage cups 101 with beverages simultaneously; the sealing device 50 performs hot pressing and sealing on the m beverage cups 101 simultaneously; the cup discharging device 60 pushes out the m beverage cups 101 from the support base 21 at one time. Among them, the support base 21 is provided with m supporting parts 211 adapted to the beverage cups 101; the supporting parts 211 are used to support the beverage cups 101 so that the beverage cups 101 are placed on the support base 21.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the structure of the frame 10 is not strictly limited, as long as the frame 10 can support structures such as the cup dropping device 30, the filling device 40, the sealing device 50, and the cup discharging device 60; for example, the structure of the frame 10 is a frame structure. Four casters are installed at the bottom of the frame 10, which can make the beverage filling machine 100 move its position flexibly.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 12 shown, the cup dropping device 30, the filling device 40, the sealing device 50, and the cup discharging device 60 are respectively arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 20; when the rotating disk 20 drives the beverage cup 101 to rotate to the cup dropping device 30, the filling device 40, the sealing device 50, and the cup discharging device 60, it needs to stop intermittently to complete the discharging, filling, sealing, and discharging of the beverage cup 101. The intermittent time of the rotating disk 20 is greater than 5 seconds; within this time, it can ensure that the beverage cup 101 is output to the support base 21, the filling device 40 fills the beverage in the beverage cup 101, the sealing device 50 can perform hot pressing and sealing on the beverage cup 101, and the cup discharging device 60 pushes the beverage cup 101 out of the support base 21. Preferably, the intermittent time of the rotating disk 20 is greater than 6 seconds.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 12 shown, the rotating disk 20 is driven by a motor to rotate around a fixed axis. The rotating disk 20 is provided with a plurality of support bases 21, and the plurality of support bases 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 20; the arrangement of the plurality of support bases 21 can enable the cup dropping device 30, the filling device 40, the sealing device 50, and the cup discharging device 60 to operate on the beverage cup 101 synchronously, so as to improve the working efficiency of the beverage cup 101. For example, the number of the support bases 21 is four; when the turntable is intermittent, the four support bases 21 respectively correspond to the cup dropping device 30, the filling device 40, the sealing device 50, and the cup discharging device 60.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 12As shown, when the beverage cup 101 is placed on the support base 21, the holding portion supports the outer edge of the opening of the beverage cup 101. The holding portion is generally in a ring structure; when the beverage cup 101 is placed on the support base 21, the holding portion is sleeved on the outside of the beverage cup 101. Among them, the holding portion has a placement hole, and the beverage cup 101 can be placed in the placement hole. The holding portions 211 in each support base 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 20, so that when the cup discharging device 60 pushes the beverage cup 101 out of the support base 21, the beverage cup 101 can fall from the rotating disk 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 5 shown, the cup dropping device 30 includes m cup dropping brackets 31 and a separator 32. Each cup dropping bracket 31 is used to place the beverage cup 101, and the separator 32 is used to separate the beverage cups 101 on the cup dropping brackets 31 and drop them into the support base 21. The cup dropping device 30 is located above the rotating disk 20, so that after the separator 32 separates the beverage cups 101 on the cup dropping brackets 31, the beverage cups 101 can automatically fall into the support base 21.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 5 shown, the cup dropping bracket 31 includes four support columns 311. The space surrounded by the four support columns 311 is a cup dropping channel for placing the beverage cup 101. The empty beverage cups 101 are stacked mouth-up in the cup dropping channel. Along the circumferential direction of the beverage cup 101 located in the cup dropping bracket 31, the lengths of two adjacent support columns 311 are longer than those of the other two adjacent support columns 311; the two longer support columns 311 can support the successively stacked beverage cups 101 without left-right deviation and have high stability; the two shorter support columns 311 can facilitate placing the beverage cup 101 into the cup dropping bracket 31. The cup dropping bracket 31 can accommodate about 80 - 120 beverage cups 101, preventing frequent feeding and adding cups during the working process and improving work efficiency.

[0079] In this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 5 shown, the bottom end of the cup dropping channel is located above the rotating disk 20, the separator 32 is located at the bottom of the cup dropping channel, and the separator 32 reciprocates relative to the cup dropping bracket 31 to separate a beverage cup at the bottom end of the cup dropping channel and make it fall into the support base 21. The separator 32 includes a separation driving member 321 and m cup forks 322; the separation driving member 321 synchronously drives the m cup forks 322, so that the m cup forks 322 respectively separate the beverage cups 101 in the corresponding cup dropping brackets 31. The separation driving member 321 can be a driving cylinder. The specific structure of the cup fork 322 can refer to the prior art and will not be further elaborated here.

[0080] In this embodiment, as Figures 7 to 8As shown in the figure, the perfusion device 40 includes m grouting heads 41 and a filling driving assembly 42. Each grouting head 41 is used to pour the slurry into the corresponding beverage cup 101; the filling driving assembly 42 is used to drive each grouting head 41 to reciprocate in the first direction, so that the grouting head 41 can move towards or away from the beverage cup 101. When the beverage cup 101 moves to the perfusion device 40, the filling driving assembly 42 synchronously drives the m grouting heads 41 to move towards the beverage cup 101, and then the m grouting heads 41 simultaneously pour into the beverage cup 101 to improve the perfusion efficiency of the beverage cup 101. The flow rate of the grouting head 41 is independently controlled and controllable; the m grouting heads 41 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 20; the first direction is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating disk 20.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figures 7 to 8 shown, the grouting head 41 is provided with a splash-proof cover 43; the splash-proof cover 43 effectively prevents splashing when the drink is discharged. The grouting head 41 is connected to the drink source through a slurry inlet pipe, so that the drink is transported to the grouting head 41 through the slurry inlet pipe. The slurry inlet pipe is provided with a control valve 73, and the control valve 73 is electrically connected to the control center. The control center controls the operation of the control valve 73 to make the slurry inlet valve conduct or cut off the slurry inlet pipe.

[0082] In this embodiment, as Figures 7 to 8 shown, the filling driving assembly 42 includes m filling driving members 422; the m filling driving members 422 respectively drive the corresponding grouting heads 41 to reciprocate in the first direction. The filling driving member 422 is a reciprocating motor, and the reciprocating motor is electrically connected to the control center.

[0083] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 10 shown, the sealing device 50 includes m sealing members 51 and a sealing driving assembly 52; each sealing member 51 is used to perform hot pressing and sealing on the corresponding beverage cup 101; the sealing driving assembly 52 is used to drive each sealing member 51 to reciprocate in the second direction, so that the sealing member 51 can move towards or away from the beverage cup 101. When the beverage cup 101 moves to the sealing device 50, the sealing driving assembly 52 drives the sealing member 51 to move towards the beverage cup 101 until the sealing member 51 performs hot pressing and sealing on the beverage cup 101. The m sealing members 51 simultaneously perform hot pressing and sealing on the beverage cup 101, with higher efficiency and stable temperature control. Among them, the m sealing members 51 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 20; the second direction is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating disk 20.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 10As shown, the sealing device 50 is located above the beverage cup 101; when the beverage cup 101 moves to the position of the sealing device 50, the sealing member 51 moves downward and gradually approaches the mouth of the beverage cup 101 until the sealing member 51 can seal the beverage cup 101. The sealing member 51 is a heating plate, and the heating plate thermally presses and seals the diaphragm on the opening of the beverage cup 101.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 10 shown, the sealing drive assembly 52 includes a sealing movable base 521 and a sealing drive member 522. The sealing movable base 521 is movably installed on the frame 10, and each sealing member 51 is fixedly connected to the sealing movable base 521; the sealing drive member 522 drives the sealing movable base 521 to move through a motion conversion structure 523, so as to drive each sealing member 51 to reciprocate along the second direction; wherein, the motion conversion structure 523 includes an eccentric member 5231. One end of the eccentric member 5231 is rotatably connected to the sealing movable base 521, and the other end is eccentrically arranged with the sealing drive member 522. The eccentric member 5231 can convert the rotational force output by the sealing drive member 522 into the reciprocating movement of the sealing member 51 along the second direction. The sealing drive member 522 outputs a rotational force and converts it into the reciprocating movement of the sealing member 51 along the second direction through the eccentric member 5231, so as to be able to drive the sealing member 51.

[0086] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 10 shown, the sealing drive member 522 can be a motor; the motor is provided with an output shaft. The eccentric member 5231 is in a rod-like structure. One end of the eccentric member 5231 is eccentrically arranged with the output shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected through a pivot. The eccentric member 5231 is connected through a swing rod 5232. One end of the swing rod 5232 is rotatably connected to the eccentric member 5231 through a pivot, and the other end is rotatably connected to the output shaft; when the output shaft rotates, it can drive the swing rod 5232 to rotate, so as to be able to change the position of the pivot connection between the eccentric member 5231 and the swing rod 5232, thereby enabling the eccentric member 5231 to drive the sealing movable base 521 to move along the second direction. The structure of the sealing movable base 521 is not strictly limited as long as the sealing movable base 521 can carry the sealing member 51. The sealing movable base 521 is provided with two guide rods 524, and the frame 10 is provided with two guide holes that cooperate with the guide rods 524. The cooperation between the guide holes and the guide rods 524 can limit the movement path of the sealing movable base 521.

[0087] In this embodiment, as Figures 11 to 12As shown, the cup discharging device 60 includes m cup pushing members 61 and a cup discharging driving member 62; each cup pushing member 61 can respectively push the corresponding beverage cup 101 out of the supporting seat 21; the cup discharging driving member 62 is used to drive each cup pushing member 61 so that the cup pushing member 61 can push the beverage cup 101; when the beverage cup 101 moves to the cup discharging device 60, the cup discharging driving member 62 can drive the cup pushing member 61 to move towards the beverage cup 101 until the beverage cup 101 is separated from the supporting seat 21. Among them, the m cup pushing members 61 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating disc 20.

[0088] In this embodiment, as Figures 11 to 12 shown, the cup discharging device 60 is located below the rotating disc 20; when the beverage cup 101 is driven by the rotating disc 20 to move to the cup discharging device 60, the cup discharging device 60 is located below the beverage cup 101. When the cup pushing member 61 pushes the beverage cup 101, the cup pushing member 61 moves towards the beverage cup 101 and contacts the bottom of the beverage cup 101, and the cup pushing member 61 continues to move until the beverage cup 101 is separated from the supporting seat 21. Among them, the cup pushing member 61 moves along the rotation axis of the rotating disc 20.

[0089] In this embodiment, as Figures 11 to 12 shown, the cup discharging driving member 62 can adopt a structure such as a cylinder; the cylinder body of the cup discharging driving member 62 is fixed to the machine frame 10 through structures such as welding or screws, and the piston is fixedly connected to each cup pushing member 61 through structures such as welding or screws. The bottoms of the cup pushing members 61 are integrally provided to facilitate the connection between each cup pushing member 61 and the cup discharging driving member 62. Among them, the top of the cup pushing member 61 is inclined so that when the cup pushing member 61 pushes the beverage cup 101 out of the supporting seat 21, the beverage cup 101 can tilt towards the outside of the rotating disc 20.
