Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of honey filling equipment, in particular to automatic honey filling equipment. Background Art

[0002] Honey, a natural nutritional supplement, has been loved since ancient times for its unique sweet taste and rich nutritional value. As consumers increasingly pursue healthier lifestyles, bottled honey has become a mainstream product on the market due to its portability and ease of use. Honey bottles with a special cap design are particularly popular. Users simply screw the cap onto the plastic bottle, eliminating the need to dump a heavy honey jar. The cap's opening and closing mechanism allows honey to flow smoothly into the bottle, making it convenient for on-demand beverages while effectively avoiding potential honey leaks associated with traditional pouring methods. This significantly improves convenience and hygiene.

[0003] However, large-scale production of this innovative packaging format requires the support of efficient and precise automatic filling equipment. Most of the mechanized honey filling equipment currently available on the market uses advanced automation technology. Through a robotic arm equipped with a long splint, it can clamp and arrange multiple bottle caps at a time, and then accurately place them in the predetermined grooves of the conveying mechanism. As the conveying mechanism advances intermittently, these bottle caps are transported one by one to the bottom of the filling machine's operating area, where the precise honey filling operation is completed. After filling is completed, another set of robotic arm systems is responsible for removing the filled bottle caps from the conveyor belt and carrying out subsequent sealing, labeling and other processes. The entire process is highly automated, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0004] Despite this, the existing filling equipment still has some technical difficulties that need to be solved in the actual operation process. Because the bottle cap is light in material and has a relatively complex design to accommodate the internal switching mechanism, even a small external force interference may have a significant impact on the position stability of the bottle cap during the mechanized operation. Specifically, when the robot places the bottle cap in the groove of the conveying mechanism, or when the conveying mechanism is moving, the bottle cap is prone to slight movement or even tilting due to vibration or airflow, which not only affects the accuracy of subsequent filling, but may also cause poor sealing due to incorrect positioning of the bottle cap, increasing the risk of product leakage. In addition, the tilted bottle cap requires manual intervention to adjust it, which not only reduces the degree of automation of the production line, but also increases labor costs and time costs, affecting the overall production efficiency and product quality.

A buffer spring is provided in the correction rod, the top of the buffer spring is connected to the correction rod, and the bottom of the buffer spring is connected to the top of the contact head. The length of the correction rod is greater than the length of the honey discharging gun. The mounting frame is provided with an adjustment component, and the adjustment component is used to adjust the length of the correction rod extending out of the mounting frame.

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example: A honey automatic filling device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a bottle cap conveyor 1, a lifting control frame 101, a honey discharge gun 102, a mounting frame 2, a correction rod 3, a contact head 4, a buffer spring 5 and an adjustment component. A plurality of placement holes are provided on each row of the bottle cap conveyor 1 for placing bottle caps, and the spacing between each row is equal. A lifting control frame 101 is provided on the bottle cap conveyor 1, and the lifting control frame 101 is connected to the honey discharge gun 102. The honey discharge gun 102 completes the filling of honey during the lifting process. The front end of the lifting control frame 101 is connected to the mounting frame 2, and a plurality of correction rods 3 are provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 2. The correction rods 3 are generally inverted cone shape. The number of correction rods is equal to the number of placement holes. The bottom of the correction rod 3 is slidably connected to the contact head 4. A buffer spring 5 is provided in the correction rod 3. The top of the buffer spring 5 is connected to the correction rod 3. The bottom of the buffer spring 5 is connected to the top of the contact head 4. The length of the correction rod 3 is greater than the length of the honey discharge gun 102. The distance between the honey discharge gun 102 and the correction rod 3 is equal to the distance between two adjacent rows of placement holes on the bottle cap conveyor 1, or an integer multiple of this distance, but it will not extend out of the bottle cap conveyor 1. An adjustment component is provided on the mounting frame 2, and the adjustment component is used to adjust the length of the correction rod 3 extending out of the mounting frame 2.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a connecting rod 6, a fixed plate 7 and an adjusting screw 8. The top of the correction rod 3 is connected to the connecting rod 6, the connecting rod 6 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 2, the tops of multiple connecting rods 6 are commonly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 7, the bottom of the adjusting screw 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2, and the adjusting screw 8 is threadedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate 7.

[0024] After the production is started, the robot arm equipped with a long splint clamps the empty bottle caps and then puts them on the bottle cap conveyor 1, aligning them with the placement holes set on the bottle cap conveyor 1. The bottle caps move on the bottle cap conveyor 1, and the lifting control frame 101 drives the honey discharging gun 102 to move up and down. Each time it moves downward, the bottle caps at the bottom are quantitatively filled. When the honey discharging gun 102 descends, it drives the mounting frame 2 to move downward, thereby driving the correction rod 3 to move downward. Since the distance between the honey discharging gun 102 and the correction rod 3 is equal to an integer multiple of the spacing between the bottle cap placement holes of the bottle cap conveyor 1, and is located in front of the honey discharging gun 102, the honey is discharged. When the material gun 102 falls, the correction rod 3 is inserted into the corresponding placement hole of the bottle cap conveyor 1 to squeeze the bottle cap on the bottle cap conveyor 1. If the bottle cap is in a tilted state, the correction rod 3 can push the bottle cap downward after contacting the bottle cap to fit closely with the placement hole of the bottle cap conveyor 1. When the contact head 4 contacts the bottom of the bottle cap, the buffer spring 5 is compressed to further ensure that all the bottle caps are in a vertical state and completely fit the bottle cap conveyor 1. After the honey discharge gun 102 completes filling, the correction rod 3 rises together with the honey discharge gun 102, and the buffer spring 5 rebounds, causing the contact head 4 to slide downward and reset, completing the process of straightening the bottle cap;

[0025] Everyone has a different preference for sweetness, and the amount of honey added each time is different. For honey of different measurements, bottle caps of different capacities are required. If a bottle cap with a larger capacity is used, the staff rotates the adjusting screw 8 to push the fixing plate 7 downward. The fixing plate 7 pushes the correction rod 3 through the connecting rod 6. The correction rod 3 slides in the mounting frame 2, moving the correction rod 3 downward, thereby adapting to a deeper bottle cap and ensuring the correction effect of the bottle cap.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a ball 9, which is connected to the mounting frame 2. The ball 9 is located at the sliding connection between the mounting frame 2 and the connecting rod 6, and the ball 9 is in contact with the connecting rod 6.

[0027] As the connecting rod 6 slides downward, its surface contacts the ball 9, which reduces the sliding friction between the connecting rod 6 and the mounting frame 2, achieving rolling friction, thereby reducing the resistance of the staff to turning the adjusting screw 8, making it easier for the staff to adjust the correction rod 3.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, an anti-skid pad 10 is also included, and the adjusting screw 8 is sleeved with the anti-skid pad 10.

[0029] When the staff rotates the adjusting screw 8, the anti-slip pad 10 can increase the friction between the staff and the adjusting screw 8, thereby facilitating the staff to rotate the adjusting screw 8.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, it also includes a scale 11 . The front end of the mounting frame 2 is connected to the scale 11 , and the rear side of the scale 11 is in contact with the fixing plate 7 .

[0031] When the staff adjusts the correction rod 3, the fixed plate 7 moves accordingly, and the scale on the reference ruler 11 is used to facilitate intuitive adjustment of the position of the correction rod 3, thereby facilitating the staff to adjust the position of the correction rod 3.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a foam pad 12, the bottom of the correction rod 3 is connected to the foam pad 12, and the contact head 4 is slidably connected to the foam pad 12.

[0033] After the contact head 4 contacts the bottle cap, the buffer spring 5 is compressed, the foam pad 12 contacts the bottom of the bottle cap, and the bottom of the correction rod 3 does not contact the bottle cap, thereby ensuring that the bottle cap will not be scratched.

[0034] The robotic arm precisely places the empty bottle caps in the holes of the bottle cap conveyor 1. As the conveyor belt steadily moves forward, each bottle cap enters the filling area in turn. At this time, the lifting control frame 101 drives the honey discharge gun 102 to descend precisely, filling the bottle caps in a quantitative manner. At the same time, the mounting frame 2 descends as the lifting control frame 101 descends, driving the correction rod 3 downward as well. The correction rod 3, with its special inverted conical design, can contact the bottle cap before the honey discharge gun 102. Utilizing its geometric properties, the built-in buffer spring 5 and contact head 4 work together to fine-tune the tilted bottle caps, ensuring that each bottle cap fits vertically on the conveyor surface. After filling is completed, the correction rod 3 and the honey discharge gun 102 rise synchronously, and the buffer spring 5 resets to prepare for the correction of the next bottle cap. For bottle caps of varying sizes, the machine's adjustable assembly allows operators to easily adjust the height of the adjustment rod (3) to accommodate caps of varying depths. When turning the adjustment screw (8), the anti-slip pad (10) provides sufficient friction, while the ball bearing (9) reduces frictional resistance during adjustment, making operation smoother. Furthermore, the addition of a graduated scale (11) provides an intuitive visual reference for operators, ensuring precise adjustments.

Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
