Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of skin care product manufacturing, in particular to a vacuum aseptic capping device. Background Art
[0002] Skin care products are products used for skin care and are daily consumables for most women. Since skin care products are directly applied to the human skin, the quality of skin care products will have a crucial impact on the skin health of users. In the production process of skin care products, capping and encapsulation are very important links.
[0003] Traditional capping equipment does not create a sterile environment. That is, skin care products are poured into bottles in an open form in the workshop, and then the caps are pressed (including the case of screwing tightly) onto the bottles through a capping mechanism for encapsulation. Therefore, during the process from the skin care products being poured into the bottles to the final capping being completed, they are all exposed to the workshop environment and are easily invaded by dust, bacteria, etc., resulting in impurities and bacteria being mixed into the skin care products, which easily causes deterioration and shortens the shelf life of the products. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Based on this, the utility model provides a vacuum aseptic capping device, which constructs a sealing structure by using a sealing cover, a top plate, a transfer disk, and a top plate. After connecting to a vacuum source, the feeding process, cap hanging process, and capping process of skin care products are all completed in a vacuum aseptic environment, avoiding the invasion of skin care products by dust, bacteria, etc., reducing the risk of impurities and bacteria being mixed into skin care products, reducing the probability of product deterioration, and extending the shelf life of the products.

[0007] A conveyor belt is connected to the vacuum capping module; the conveyor belt is provided with a feed guide rail and a discharge guide rail; the feed guide rail is connected to the first feed port; and the discharge guide rail is connected to the discharge port.
[0008] The aforementioned vacuum aseptic capping device utilizes a sealed chamber formed between the sealing cover and the base plate of the transfer assembly. This chamber is connected to an external vacuum device to create a vacuum and aseptic environment for filling and capping. During operation, a stepper motor drives the transfer tray to rotate rhythmically at a preset angle. Bottles are guided through an infeed guide rail into the first feed port of the sealing cover. Driven by the transfer tray, the bottles flow to a station beneath the filling chute, where they are filled with skincare products through the injection assembly. Next, the bottles flow to a station beneath the drop chute, where the caps are released from the second feed port into the sealing cover's inner chamber and drop from the drop chute onto the bottle's mouth, completing the capping process. The bottles and caps then flow together to a station beneath the pressing chute, where they are picked up and pressed onto the bottle's mouth, completing the capping process. Finally, the capped skincare products are directed from the discharge port to the discharge rail for delivery. Through the above design, a sealing structure is constructed using a sealing cover, a top plate, a rotating material tray, and a top plate. After connecting to a vacuum source, the filling process, the capping process, and the capping process of the skin care products are all completed in a vacuum and sterile environment, preventing the skin care products from being invaded by dust, bacteria, etc., reducing the risk of impurities and bacteria being mixed into the skin care products, reducing the probability of product deterioration, and extending the shelf life of the products.
[0009] In one embodiment, the injection port is located directly above the injection groove; the pressure capping port is located directly above the pressure groove. This design allows both the injection assembly and the pressure assembly to move vertically, with a short movement stroke and high work efficiency.
[0010] In one embodiment, the frame is a height-adjustable structure with universal rollers at the bottom. This design can easily adapt to the height of the conveyor belt, as well as the relative position of the sealing cover and the feed guide rail and discharge guide rail, so as to facilitate calibration of the docking position.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, it is a vacuum aseptic capping device 100 of an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0040] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the vacuum aseptic capping device 100 includes: a vacuum capping module 10 and a conveyor belt 20 connected to the vacuum capping module 10. Among them, the vacuum capping module 10 is used to create a vacuum aseptic working environment and sequentially complete the processes of filling, capping, and pressing the caps of the bottles. The conveyor belt 20 is used to transport the bottles to be capped to the vacuum capping module 10 and also to receive the bottles after capping.
[0041] Below, in combination with Figures 1 to 12 , the above-mentioned vacuum aseptic capping device 100 will be further described.
[0042] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the vacuum capping module 10 includes: a material transfer component 11, a sealing cover 12 covering the material transfer component 11, a filling component 13 connected to the sealing cover 12, and a capping component 14 connected to the sealing cover 12.
[0043] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the material transfer component 11 includes: a frame 111, a stepping motor 112 installed on the frame 111, a bottom plate 113 connected to the frame 111, a material transfer disk 114 connected to the stepping motor 112 and located above the bottom plate 113, and a top plate 115 located on the material transfer disk 114. Among them, the stepping motor 112 is used to drive the material transfer disk 114 to rotate. Both the bottom plate 113 and the top plate 115 are fixedly arranged relative to the frame 111. The periphery of the material transfer disk 114 is provided with evenly spaced receiving grooves 1141. The periphery of the top plate 115 is provided with a filling groove 1151, a blanking groove 1152, and a pressing groove 1153 arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the material transfer disk 114.
[0044] As Figure 11 shown, a sealing cavity for accommodating the material transfer disk 114 and the top plate 115 is formed between the sealing cover 12 and the bottom plate 113. The sealing cover 12 is provided with a first feed port 121, a second feed port 122, a discharge port 123, a vacuum pumping interface 124, a filling port 125, and a capping port 126. Among them, the first feed port 121 is used to dock with the conveyor belt 20 to receive the empty bottles that need to be filled and capped. The second feed port 122 is used to dock with an external cap conveying mechanism (for example Figures 1 to 5 shows the feed pipe 200 of the cap conveying mechanism). The discharge port 123 is used to dock with the conveyor belt 20 to output the bottles that have completed filling and capping. The vacuum pumping interface 124 is used to dock with an external vacuum source to create a vacuum environment. The filling port 125 is used to dock with the filling component 13. The capping port 126 is used to dock with the capping component 14.
[0045] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the filling component 13 is located at the filling port 125, while the capping component 14 is located at the capping port 126. During operation, the filling component 13 receives skin care products from the outside and introduces them into the filling head. By lifting and lowering the filling head, it extends to the bottle mouth and injects the skin care products into the bottle. The capping component 14 grabs the bottle cap hanging on the bottle (since the capping process only naturally hangs the cap on the bottle mouth and the two are not pressed together, so they are loose), and then presses the cap onto the bottle mouth (if it is a screw-threaded bottle, rotational pressing is used here), thus completing the capping process.
[0046] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, the conveyor belt 20 is provided with a feeding guide rail 21 and a discharging guide rail 22. Among them, the feeding guide rail 21 is connected to the first feeding port 121, and the discharging guide rail 22 is connected to the discharging port 123.
[0047] Brief description of the working principle:
[0048] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, a sealed cavity is formed between the sealing cover 12 and the bottom plate 113 in the material transfer component 11, and a vacuum and sterile filling and capping environment is created by connecting an external vacuum device.
[0049] As Figure 12 shown in the figure, during operation, the stepping motor 112 drives the material transfer disk 114 to rotate rhythmically at a preset angle. The bottle is introduced from the feeding guide rail 21 to the first feeding port 121 of the sealing cover 12 ( Figure 12 at point A), and then the bottle is rotated by the material transfer disk 114 and stays below the filling groove 1151 ( Figure 12 at point B), and skin care products are filled through the filling component 13. Then, the bottle stays below the blanking groove 1152 ( Figure 12 at point C). At this time, the cap is released from the second feeding port 122 into the inner cavity of the sealing cover 12 and falls from the blanking groove 1152 onto the bottle mouth to complete capping (it should be noted here that the top plate 115 is stationary, so, and the second feeding port 122 is connected to the blanking groove 1152. Therefore, when the receiving groove 1141 of the material transfer disk 114 is aligned with the blanking groove 1152, it is possible for the cap to fall in). Then, the bottle and the cap are rotated together and stay below the pressing groove 1153 ( Figure 12 at point D). The capping component 14 grabs the cap and then presses it onto the bottle mouth, thus completing the capping process of the skin care products. Finally, the skin care products after capping are guided from the discharging port 123 to the discharging guide rail 22 to complete the output ( Figure 12 at point E).
[0050] In addition, in this embodiment, the material injection port 125 is located directly above the material injection groove 1151, and at the same time, the gland port 126 is located directly above the material pressing groove 1153. This design enables both the material injection assembly 13 and the material pressing assembly to move vertically, with a short action stroke and high working efficiency.
[0051] In order to further improve the sterility of the sealed cavity formed by the sealing cover 12 and the bottom plate 113, in other embodiments, the vacuum capping module 10 may further include: an ultraviolet disinfection lamp installed at the top of the inner cavity of the sealing cover 12. Correspondingly, in order to allow ultraviolet light to fully cover the sealed cavity, both the transfer tray 114 and the top plate 115 are made of quartz glass material structures that can transmit ultraviolet light (other plates that can transmit ultraviolet light can also be selected). The ultraviolet disinfection lamp can generate ultraviolet light to disinfect the inner cavity of the sealing cover 12, disinfect the bottles, the skin care products inside the bottles, and the caps, thereby improving the sterility.
[0052] Furthermore, both the sealing cover 12 and the bottom plate 113 are made of ultraviolet-proof plates, and this design can prevent ultraviolet light from leaking out and protect the staff.
[0053] In order to make the bottles flow more smoothly, as Figures 4 to 7 shown, in this embodiment, the vacuum capping module 10 may further include: a guiding plate 15 attached to the outer peripheral edge of the sealing cover 12. The guiding plate 15 is arc-shaped and located at the first feeding port 121. The guiding plate 15 can guide the bottles to enter the first feeding port 121 more smoothly and reduce the risk of material jamming.
[0054] In order to facilitate the assembly and debugging of the equipment, the frame 111 can also be improved.
[0055] For example, in other embodiments, the frame 111 can be set as a height-adjustable structure and is provided with universal rollers at the bottom. This design can facilitate the adaptation of the height of the conveyor belt 20, as well as the relative positions of the sealing cover 12 and the feeding guide rail 21 and the discharging guide rail 22, and facilitate the calibration of the docking position.
[0056] For another example, in other embodiments, both the feeding guide rail 21 and the discharging guide rail 22 can be structures with adjustable rail widths. This design can better match bottles with different diameters.
[0057] For another example, in other embodiments, both the feeding guide rail 21 and the discharging guide rail 22 can be structures with adjustable rail heights. This design can better match bottles with different heights.
[0058] The above-mentioned vacuum aseptic capping device 100 uses the sealing cover 12, the top plate 115, the transfer tray 11, and the top plate 115 to construct a sealing structure. After connecting to the vacuum source, the processes of injecting materials, hanging caps, and capping the skin care products are all completed in a vacuum aseptic environment, avoiding the invasion of dust, bacteria, etc. into the skin care products, reducing the risk of impurities and bacteria mixing into the skin care products, reducing the probability of product deterioration, and extending the shelf life of the products.
[0059] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.
[0060] The above embodiments only represent the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
