Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage filling equipment, in particular to an automatic coconut juice filling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The beverage filling process is a key link in the beverage production process, which generally includes six aspects: container pretreatment, beverage preparation, pre-filling treatment, filling operation, sealing and inspection, and packaging and storage.

[0003] Before filling, first, a suitable cleaning agent is selected to thoroughly clean containers such as PET bottles, glass bottles or aluminum cans to remove impurities such as dust and oil stains on the surface. Subsequently, methods such as high-temperature steam, ultraviolet light or chemical disinfectants are used to disinfect the containers to kill microorganisms such as bacteria and molds to ensure the hygienic safety of the containers. The cleaned and disinfected containers need to be dried to prevent residual moisture from affecting the filling effect. At the same time, visual or automatic detection equipment is used to check whether the containers are damaged, cracked or have foreign matter residues to ensure that only qualified containers enter the next process to start the formal filling operation.

[0004] Specifically, coconut juice, as a fresh beverage in nature, is deeply loved by consumers for its unique sweetness, freshness and rich nutritional components; the filling process of coconut juice is similar to that of conventional beverages.

[0005] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN220165796U discloses a beverage filling mechanism, which includes a frame, a power assembly, a placement frame and a filling assembly; a conveyor belt is provided on the surface of the frame; the power assembly is installed on the frame and is used to drive the conveyor belt to move on the surface of the frame; the placement frame is defined to form a receiving cavity for placing bottles to be filled, and the placement frame is placed on the conveyor belt; the filling assembly includes a bracket, a liquid storage tank, a filling pipe and a filling head. The bracket is fixed on the frame and is located above the conveyor belt. The liquid storage tank is located above the bracket, and the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank is connected to one end of the filling pipe. The other end of the filling pipe passes through the bracket and is connected to the filling head. The filling head is used to fill the liquid flowing out of the liquid storage tank into the bottle passing through the filling head. The technical solution disclosed in this patent realizes the automatic filling of beverage liquids without manual control, which is beneficial to reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the filling efficiency. Moreover, this filling mechanism has a compact structure and occupies a small space.

[0006] However, the above-disclosed beverage filling mechanism still has a technical problem that the bottles are prone to tilting during filling, which affects the normal operation of filling. Specifically, after operations such as disinfection of the bottles to be filled, they enter the working area of the filling equipment through an automatic conveyor line. In the technical solutions disclosed in existing patents, several containers are mainly placed in the accommodating cavities of the bottles to be filled at the same time, so that the bottles are arranged and stacked on the accommodating cavities. When the accommodating cavities cannot be fully filled by a single placement, the bottles at this time cannot be limited by their own arrangement and stacking. During filling, when touched by the filling head, they will tilt and fall down; resulting in the inability to complete the filling operation, and operators need to adjust them one by one; affecting the operation efficiency.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically and clearly defined.

[0026] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "connected to", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , an automatic coconut juice filling mechanism of the present utility model includes: a base body 1, a supporting vertical frame 2, a sorting and guiding track 3, an adaptive clamping mechanism 4, a lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 and a filling structure 6; the supporting vertical frame 2 is disposed on the base body 1, the sorting and guiding track 3 is disposed on the base body 1, and the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 is disposed adjacent to the sorting and guiding track 3 on the base body 1; the lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 is disposed on the side of the supporting vertical frame 2, the filling structure 6 is movably disposed above the adaptive clamping mechanism 4, and the lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 is drivingly connected to the filling structure 6.

[0030] Specifically, when the automatic coconut juice filling mechanism of the present utility model is in the working process, containers such as bottles to be filled with coconut juice are automatically sorted and flow into the sorting guiding track 3 provided on the seat body 1 from the external automatic transportation production line, and each container can flow into the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 along the guiding and sorting of the sorting guiding track 3. After the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 is powered on and started, the container is firmly clamped and positioned so that the container is stably placed below the filling structure 6. Thereafter, the lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 is powered on and drives the filling structure 6 to descend until it abuts against the positioned container to complete the automatic filling operation of fruit juice beverages such as coconut juice. After the filling operation is completed, the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 releases the locking of the container, and then, the external clamping and flipping device turns the filled container to the next working station. It can be seen that when the automatic coconut juice filling mechanism of the present utility model fills containers such as bottles, it can first stably position the containers such as bottles to avoid the situation that the containers such as bottles tip over during filling and affect the normal filling operation.

[0031] Further, the sorting guiding track 3 is an arc-shaped track structure in the shape of a flared opening, with a wider entrance and a relatively narrower exit connected to the sorting guiding track 3, so as to facilitate the sorting and guiding of containers such as bottles.

[0032] Further, the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 includes a first V-shaped clamping block 401, a second V-shaped clamping block 402, a clamping telescopic rod 403, and a clamping driving cylinder 404; the first V-shaped clamping block 401 is arranged adjacent to the sorting guiding track 3, and the first V-shaped clamping block 401 is fixedly connected to the seat body 1; the second V-shaped clamping block 402 is arranged opposite to the first V-shaped clamping block 401, and the second V-shaped clamping block 402 is movably arranged on the seat body 1; the clamping telescopic rod 403 is respectively connected to the second V-shaped clamping block 402 and the clamping driving cylinder 404, the clamping driving cylinder 404 is fixedly arranged on the seat body 1, and the clamping driving cylinder 404 is drivingly connected to the clamping telescopic rod 403.

[0033] Specifically, containers such as bottles to be filled flow into the inlet of the sorting guide rail 3 from an external conveyor line. After being sorted and guided by the sorting guide rail 3, they enter between the first V-shaped clamping block 401 and the second V-shaped clamping block 402 one by one from the outlet of the sorting guide rail 3. At this time, the clamping drive cylinder 404 is activated and drives the clamping telescopic rod 403 to extend, pushing the second V-shaped clamping block 402 towards the first V-shaped clamping block 401. Further, the first V-shaped clamping block 401 and the second V-shaped clamping block 402 clamp and position the container such as a bottle between them. After the container such as a bottle is filled, the clamping drive cylinder 404 drives the clamping telescopic rod 403 to shorten and reset again to release the limit clamping on the container such as a bottle. More specifically, both the first V-shaped clamping block 401 and the second V-shaped clamping block 402 have V-shaped openings to facilitate their adaptation to the surfaces of different containers for clamping.

[0034] Furthermore, the lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 includes a lifting drive cylinder 501, a lifting telescopic rod 502, and a lifting connection part 503. The lifting drive cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to the side of the support stand 2, and the lifting drive cylinder 501 is drivingly connected to the lifting telescopic rod 502. The lifting telescopic rod 502 is respectively connected to the lifting drive cylinder 501 and the lifting connection part 503.

[0035] Furthermore, the filling structure 6 includes a filling hanger 601, a filling valve body control part 602, a filling valve body connection part 603, a filling valve body movable sleeve 604, a filling valve body positioning part 605, a filling valve body spring 606, and a filling nozzle structure 607. The filling hanger 601 is connected to the lifting connection part 503. The filling valve body control part 602 is connected within the filling hanger 601. The filling valve body connection part 603 is connected below the filling valve body control part 602. The filling valve body movable sleeve 604 is movably sleeved outside the filling valve body connection part 603. The filling valve body positioning part 605 is connected to the bottom of the filling valve body movable sleeve 604, and the filling valve body positioning part 605 is connected to the filling valve body connection part 603. The inner cavities between the filling valve body control part 602, the filling valve body connection part 603, the filling valve body positioning part 605, and the filling nozzle structure 607 are sequentially communicated. The filling valve body spring 606 is sleeved outside the filling valve body movable sleeve 604, and the filling valve body spring 606 is respectively connected to the filling hanger 601 and the filling valve body positioning part 605.

[0036] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the filling structure 6, after the lifting drive cylinder 501 is activated, it drives the lifting telescopic rod 502 to extend or contract, thereby driving the lifting connection part 503 to descend or ascend; thus, the filling structure 6 is driven to descend or ascend by the filling hanging bracket 601.

[0037] Furthermore, the filling valve body control part 602 can be respectively communicated with an external air source and a beverage storage tank; so as to facilitate using pneumatic control to make the beverage start to enter or stop entering the filling structure 6 from the external beverage storage tank. More specifically, when the filling hanging bracket drives the components to descend to prepare for starting the filling operation, the filling valve body positioning part 605 abuts against the entrance of a container such as a bottle, so that the filling nozzle structure 607 is located inside the container; at this time, in order to avoid bumping and damaging the surface of the entrance of the container, when the valve body positioning part 605 abuts against the container, it will rebound upward along the guide of the filling valve body connecting part 603 driven by the filling valve body movable sleeve 604, and at this time, the filling valve body spring 606 will be compressed. When the filling operation starts, the filling valve body control part 602 controls the external fluid to sequentially pass through the inner cavities between the filling valve body control part 602, the filling valve body connecting part 603, the filling valve body positioning part 605 and the filling nozzle structure 607, so that the fluid such as the beverage flows into the external container. After the filling operation is completed, the lifting adjustment mechanism 5 drives the filling structure 6 to rise and reset, and at this time, the filling valve body spring 606 restores its deformation to push the filling valve body positioning part 605 to reset.

[0038] In summary, an automatic coconut juice filling mechanism of the present utility model is respectively provided with a seat body 1, a supporting vertical frame 2, a sorting and guiding track 3, an adaptive clamping mechanism 4, a lifting adjustment mechanism 5 and a filling structure 6; the supporting vertical frame 2 is arranged on the seat body 1, the sorting and guiding track 3 is arranged on the seat body 1, and the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 is arranged on the seat body 1 adjacent to the sorting and guiding track 3; the lifting adjustment mechanism 5 is arranged on the side of the supporting vertical frame 2, the filling structure 6 is movably arranged above the adaptive clamping mechanism 4, and the lifting adjustment mechanism 5 is drivingly connected with the filling structure 6. After the adaptive clamping mechanism 4 is powered on and activated, the container is firmly clamped and positioned, so that the container is stably placed below the filling structure 6. Thereafter, the lifting adjustment mechanism 5 is powered on and drives the filling structure 6 to descend to abut against the positioned container, so as to complete the automatic filling operation of fruit juice beverages such as coconut juice. Therefore, the automatic coconut juice filling mechanism of the present utility model solves the technical problem of how to enable the container to be automatically and firmly positioned during filling.
