[0002] Lactic acid bacteria is a general term for a class of bacteria that can utilize fermentable carbohydrates to produce a large amount of lactic acid. These bacteria are widely distributed in nature, with rich species diversity, including at least 18 genera and more than 200 species in total. Except for a very small number, most of them are essential and have important physiological functions in the human body, and are widely present in the human intestine. Lactic acid bacteria are not only ideal materials for studying classification, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology and genetic engineering, but also have extremely high application value in important fields closely related to human life such as industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, food and medicine.
[0003] In the production process of lactic acid bacteria products, the automatic filling machine is one of the key post-packaging equipment, which is used to quantitatively fill the fermented lactic acid bacteria products (such as yogurt, lactic acid bacteria beverages, etc.) into predetermined containers, such as plastic cups, glass bottles or flexible packaging bags. The use of the automatic filling machine significantly improves production efficiency, ensures product consistency and hygiene standards, and is an indispensable part of modern dairy and beverage production lines. However, the existing automatic filling machines still have limitations in container positioning and stability. Especially when encountering unexpected situations or slight vibrations of the equipment, the filling nozzle may not accurately align with the container, which will not only cause waste of lactic acid bacteria products, but also affect the overall production efficiency and cost control.

[0022] The preferred technical solutions of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0023] Embodiment: An automatic filling machine for lactic acid bacteria production, as Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, it includes a frame 2, support feet 1, a motor 3, a conveying assembly 4, a wedge block 5, a moving plate 6, a first spring 7, an arc-shaped clamping block 8, a second spring 9, a cylinder 10, a top plate 11, a filling cylinder 12, a baffle 121, a telescopic pipe 13, a filling head 14, a third spring 15 and a storage tank 16. Symmetrically arranged support feet 1 are welded to the bottom of the frame 2 to increase the stability of the equipment. A motor 3 is installed on the right side wall of the front part of the frame 2. A conveying assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the lower side inside the frame 2 for conveying containers. A plurality of grooves for placing containers are provided on the conveying assembly 4, and anti-slip pads are provided in the grooves to improve the stability of container placement. The output shaft of the motor 3 is connected to the conveying assembly 4. Symmetrically arranged wedge blocks 5 are slidably connected to the middle part of the frame 2. A moving plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the wedge block 5 facing the inside rather than extending outward. First springs 7 are sleeved on the wedge blocks 5 and are symmetrically arranged up and down, front and back. Both ends of the first spring 7 are connected to the frame 2 and the wedge block 5 respectively. An arc-shaped clamping block 8 is slidably connected to the moving plate 6. Second springs 9 are sleeved on the arc-shaped clamping block 8 and are symmetrically arranged front and back. Both ends of the second spring 9 are connected to the moving plate 6 and the arc-shaped clamping block 8 respectively. A cylinder 10 is installed on the upper part of the frame 2. A top plate 11 is adhered to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 10. A filling cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the upper side inside the top plate 11. A baffle 121 is welded to the lower part inside the filling cylinder 12. A telescopic pipe 13 is adhered to the center of the top of the filling cylinder 12. A filling head 14 is slidably connected to the lower part of the filling cylinder 12. A limiting ring larger than the mouth of the container is provided at the lower part of the filling head 14 to prevent the filling head 14 from deviating from the container during the filling process. A plurality of through holes 141 are arranged in an annular array on the upper part of the filling head 14. A third spring 15 is sleeved on the filling head 14. Both ends of the third spring 15 are connected to the filling cylinder 12 and the filling head 14 respectively. A storage tank 16 is adhered to the upper part of the frame 2. A thread is provided at the feed inlet at the top of the storage tank 16. The upper end of the telescopic pipe 13 is adhered to the storage tank 16, and the storage tank 16 is located behind the cylinder 10.
[0024] When lactic acid bacteria need to be filled, first place the frame 2 stably on the table, ensure that the support feet 1 at the bottom of the frame 2 are in firm contact with the table, then connect the prepared infusion tube to the feed port of the storage tank 16, and transport the lactic acid bacteria into the storage tank 16. The lactic acid bacteria flow into the filling cylinder 12 through the telescopic tube 13. Then place the containers on the conveying component 4 one by one, and then start the motor 3. The motor 3 drives the conveying component 4 to operate. The conveying component 4 transports the containers to the position below the top plate 11 one by one. At this time, start the cylinder 10 and control its telescopic rod to extend to an appropriate length, driving the top plate 11 to move downward. The wedge-shaped blocks 5 on both sides are squeezed and move inward due to the downward movement of the top plate 11, thereby driving the moving plate 6 connected to them to move inward. At this time, the first spring 7 is compressed. The inward movement of the moving plate 6 causes the arc-shaped clamping block 8 to approach the container until the arc-shaped clamping block 8 contacts and fixes the container. At the same time, the continuous downward movement of the top plate 11 drives the filling cylinder 12 and the filling head 14 downward until the filling head 14 closely fits the mouth of the container. At this time, the telescopic tube 13 is stretched due to the downward movement of the top plate 11. When the arc-shaped clamping block 8 touches the container, it will be squeezed and move outward. At this time, the second spring 9 is compressed to apply pressure to the arc-shaped clamping block 8 to ensure that the arc-shaped clamping block 8 fixes the container. Since the container is fixed, the filling head 14 receives an upward reaction force due to the downward movement of the top plate 11, resulting in the compression of the third spring 15. Due to the presence of the baffle 121, the filling cylinder 12 is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper space contains lactic acid bacteria, and the lower space has no lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, when the through hole 141 on the filling head 14 moves above the baffle 121, the lactic acid bacteria flow into the filling head 14 through the through hole 141 and then are injected into the container from the filling head 14. When the container is full, control the telescopic rod of the cylinder 10 to retract to the initial state, thereby driving the top plate 11 to move upward. The wedge-shaped block 5 loses the pressure of the top plate 11, causing the first spring 7 and the second spring 9 to release pressure, driving the moving plate 6 and the arc-shaped clamping block 8 to reset. At the same time, the filling head 14 also resets due to the elastic force of the third spring 15. The through hole 141 on the filling head 14 moves below the baffle 121, and the lactic acid bacteria stop flowing out. At the same time, the telescopic tube 13 is compressed due to the upward movement of the top plate 11. The motor 3 continues to drive the conveying component 4 to operate, sending the next container to the filling position, and repeating the above filling process. When filling is not required, disconnect the connection between the infusion tube and the feed port of the storage tank 16. Ensure that there is no lactic acid bacteria in the storage tank 16, then turn off the motor 3 and the cylinder 10 to stop the entire filling operation.
