Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filling, in particular to a filling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a filling mechanism consists of a conveyor belt and a filling mechanism. The conveyor belt is used to transport cans, which are placed one by one on the conveyor belt and transported forward. The filling mechanism is located at the filling station, and the conveyor belt passes through the filling station. When a can reaches the filling station, the conveyor belt pauses to allow the filling mechanism to fill the can. Once filling is complete, the conveyor belt advances one unit length, allowing the next can to move to the filling station and be filled by the filling mechanism. This cycle repeats.

[0003] In the filling process of the prior art, the entire conveyor belt moves intermittently. Since the filling process takes time, the conveyor belt is in a paused state most of the time, resulting in low production efficiency and easy blockage. Utility Model Content

[0007] Specifically, two filling receiving plates are provided at the gap, and the two filling receiving plates are arranged horizontally. Each filling receiving plate corresponds to a two-axis adjustment mechanism. The two-axis adjustment mechanism includes a longitudinal mounting plate, and the longitudinal mounting plate is slidably connected to a longitudinal slide. The longitudinal mounting plate is provided with a longitudinal belt. The longitudinal slide is fixedly connected to one side belt section of the longitudinal belt. The longitudinal slide is slidably connected to a vertical slider. The top of the vertical slider is fixedly connected to the filling receiving plate.

This way, when a filling mechanism is filling, its empty can conveyor belt is suspended, while the empty can conveyor belts of the other filling mechanisms continue to operate independently. The tank conveyor belt, serving as the "common conveyor belt," operates continuously. Once filling is complete and the can is pushed onto the tank conveyor belt, the empty can conveyor belt starts operating again, and so on. In this way, multiple filling mechanisms share a single tank conveyor belt, allowing filled cans to be intermittently pushed onto the conveyor belt at multiple points, ensuring that the conveyor belt remains essentially full and continuously conveying materials. This improves production efficiency while preventing blockages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 6 A filling mechanism includes a base, which is provided with an empty can conveyor belt 11 and a material can conveyor belt 12. The empty can conveyor belt 11 and the material can conveyor belt 12 are arranged parallel to each other. A gap is left between the empty can conveyor belt 11 and the material can conveyor belt 12, and a filling receiving plate 21 is provided in the gap.

[0031] The filling receiving plate 21 is flush with the belt surfaces of the empty can conveyor belt 11 and the material can conveyor belt 12. A longitudinal vertical plate 31 is provided on both lateral sides of the filling receiving plate 21. The inner sides of the two longitudinal vertical plates 31 are each provided with a push-in linear mechanism 32. The push-in linear mechanism 32 is slidably provided with a push-in slider 321.

The crossbar 33 is fixedly connected to two vertical rods 331, and a push fork 332 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom end of the vertical rod 331.

[0032] See Figure 1 Three sensing probes 111 are fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the base of the empty can conveyor belt 11 , a sensing probe 111 is provided on the outer side of each of the two vertical rods 331 , and a sensing probe 111 is provided between the two vertical rods 331 .

[0033] A push-off linear mechanism 4 is located below the filling receiving plate 21. This mechanism 4 is slidably equipped with a push-off slider 41. This slider 41 is affixed to an upward cylinder 42, the piston rod of which is affixed to an upward plate 43. Several push-off vertical rods 431 are affixed to the top wall of the upward plate 43. The filling receiving plate 21 is provided with longitudinal clearance grooves 211, which are used to avoid the push-off vertical rods 431.

[0034] See Figure 6 The base is fixedly connected to a gantry, whose crossbeam is equipped with a transverse adjustment linear mechanism 51. This transverse adjustment linear mechanism 51 is slidably equipped with a transverse adjustment block 511. A longitudinal adjustment linear mechanism 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the transverse adjustment block 511. The longitudinal adjustment linear mechanism 52 is slidably equipped with a longitudinal adjustment block 521, which is fixedly connected to a transverse vertical plate 53. A feeding mechanism 54 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the transverse vertical plate 53. A feeding pipe 541 is provided at the upper end of the feeding mechanism 54, and a discharge pipe 542 is provided at the lower end of the feeding mechanism 54.

[0035] Specifically, see Figure 2 、 Figure 4Two filling receiving plates 21 are provided in the gap between the empty tank conveyor belt 11 and the material tank conveyor belt 12. The two filling receiving plates 21 are arranged in a horizontal direction. Each filling receiving plate 21 corresponds to a two-axis adjustment mechanism 22. The two-axis adjustment mechanism 22 includes a longitudinal mounting plate 221. The longitudinal mounting plate 221 is slidably connected to a longitudinal slide 222. The longitudinal mounting plate 221 is provided with a longitudinal belt. The longitudinal slide 222 is fixedly connected to one side of the longitudinal belt. The longitudinal slide 222 is slidably connected to a vertical slider 224. The top of the vertical slider 224 is fixedly connected to the filling receiving plate 21. The longitudinal slide 222 is provided with a vertical cylinder 223. The piston rod of the vertical cylinder 223 is fixedly connected to the filling receiving plate 21.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 5 The outer wall of the upward cylinder 42 is provided with a vertical guide bar (located at Figure 5 At point A in the middle, the piston rod of the upward cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped plate 44, and the inner side wall of the L-shaped plate 44 is slidably connected to the vertical guide bar.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 5 The top of the L-shaped plate 44 is fixedly connected to the upper moving plate 43, and the top wall of the upper moving plate 43 is fixedly connected to two pairs of push-away vertical rods 431, which are distributed in the transverse direction.

[0038] Specifically, two filling mechanisms 54 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the transverse vertical plate 53 .

[0039] Specifically, the push fork 332 is Y-shaped, with the fork of the push fork 332 facing forward. The push fork 332 corresponds to the filling receiving plate 21 one by one, and the push fork 332 and the corresponding filling receiving plate 21 are aligned in the longitudinal direction.

[0040] Specifically, the empty can conveyor belt 11 and the material can conveyor belt 12 are formed by connecting segments end to end.

[0041] Specifically, the bases and the pedestals of the empty can conveyor belt 11 and the material can conveyor belt 12 are fixedly connected via a support frame 13 .

[0042] The working principle of the filling mechanism of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] See Figure 1 Empty cans are transported one by one along the empty can conveyor belt 11. Three sensing probes 111 are located on the rear sidewall of the base of the empty can conveyor belt 11, monitoring the empty can conveyor belt 11 in front of it in real time to see if any empty cans are passing by. When an empty can reaches the point between the two right sensing probes 111 (corresponding to the right vertical bar 331), and another empty can reaches the point between the two left sensing probes 111 (corresponding to the left vertical bar 331), the sensing probes 111 provide feedback to the control system, causing the empty can conveyor belt 11 to pause.

[0044] Then, the linear push mechanism 32 is activated, driving the crossbar 33 to move forward, thereby driving the two vertical bars 331 and the push fork 332 to move forward together, thereby pushing the two empty cans to the surfaces of the corresponding two filling receiving plates 21.

[0045] Then, the discharge pipes 542 of the two filling mechanisms 54 fill the materials into the two empty cans, and the feed pipe 541 is used to connect to the feed pipeline (not shown in the figure).

[0046] After the filling of the two tanks is completed, the upward cylinder 42 drives the upward plate 43 and the two pairs of push-off rods 431 to move upward, and the push-off rods 431 pass through the longitudinal avoidance groove 211 and exceed the top wall of the filling receiving plate 21 (refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 (The figure shows the state where the upward moving plate 43 has not been moved upward). Subsequently, the push-off linear mechanism 4 drives the push-off slider 41 and the upward moving cylinder 42 to move forward together, so that the two pairs of push-off vertical rods 431 push their corresponding can bodies forward, thereby pushing the two can bodies from the filling receiving plate 21 to the material tank conveyor belt 12. The two can bodies are then transported to the next workstation by the material tank conveyor belt 12.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 , multiple filling mechanisms are connected in series with the tank conveyor belt 12 as the "common conveyor belt", and the empty can conveyor belt 11 of each filling mechanism operates independently, so that multiple filling mechanisms can be used in series. In this way, when one of the filling mechanisms is in the filling state, the empty can conveyor belt 11 belonging to the filling mechanism will suspend operation, while the empty can conveyor belts 11 of other filling mechanisms will continue to operate independently. The tank conveyor belt 12, which serves as the "common conveyor belt", runs uninterruptedly. When the filling is completed and the can body is pushed into the tank conveyor belt 12, the empty can conveyor belt 11 runs again, and so on. In this way, multiple filling mechanisms share one tank conveyor belt 12, so that multiple stations intermittently push the filled can bodies into the tank conveyor belt 12, ensuring that the tank conveyor belt 12 remains basically full and continuously conveying, thereby improving production efficiency and avoiding blockage.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
