Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a filling device, in particular to a material receiving mechanism of a filling line. Background Art

[0002] The medicinal slices sold are packaged in the workshop via a filling line, usually in bottles and cans. In current filling lines, the packaging process for mixed medicinal slices involves first adjusting the proportions of the various products, then filling them all at once into the bottles through a filling mechanism. Individual medicinal slices are then weighed and filled all at once into the bottles.

[0003] Since the diameter of the packaging bottle is limited and the amount of product entering the packaging bottle is large, the time the packaging bottle needs to wait in the filling mechanism during the filling process increases, affecting the filling efficiency and also posing the risk of product spillage.

[0004] Without this equipment, the fabrication is a bit outrageous, and Chinese herbal medicine pieces cannot be mixed. At that time, the equipment was a filling equipment for food substitute tea (for example, a whole gorgon fruit would fall into two or three pieces). It was easy to break when it was funneled from a high place into the bottle, so a buffer device was invented to avoid Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the technical problem that packaging bottles need to wait for a long time in the filling mechanism, which affects the filling efficiency and also has the risk of spilling, the utility model provides a material receiving mechanism for the filling line, which has the advantages of improving the filling efficiency and avoiding product spilling.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A material receiving mechanism of a filling line is arranged below a material dispensing mechanism and comprises:

[0010] The support plate is arc-shaped and is located below the material receiving layer, with one end of the support plate close to the bottle inlet conveyor belt and the other end close to the bottle outlet conveyor belt;

[0011] The conveying direction of the bottle-inlet conveyor belt is toward the support plate, the conveying direction of the bottle-outlet conveyor belt is away from the support plate, and the bottle-inlet conveyor belt is arranged tangentially to the rotating frame, and the bottle-outlet conveyor belt is arranged radially to the rotating frame.

[0012] Optionally, a guide rod is provided on the periphery of the rotating frame, the guide rod is arc-shaped, the radius of the guide rod is larger than the radius of the rotating frame, the guide rod is provided above the support plate, and the two ends of the guide rod are respectively close to the two ends of the support plate.

[0013] Optionally, a baffle is provided on each side of the bottle-discharging conveyor belt, and the extending direction of the baffle is consistent with the extending direction of the bottle-discharging conveyor belt.

[0014] Optionally, two overlapping connecting layers are provided, and the projections of the guide grooves on the two connecting layers on the horizontal plane overlap one by one, and there is a distance between the two connecting layers.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0030] See also Figure 1 A material receiving mechanism for a filling line is provided below a material dispensing mechanism. The material receiving mechanism comprises a rotating frame, a discharge pipe 1 and a support plate 2. Specifically:

[0031] The rotating frame is a circumferential structure, and comprises a material receiving layer 3 and a bottle rotating layer 4 , wherein the material receiving layer 3 is located above the bottle rotating layer 4 .

[0032] The material receiving layer 3 has a plurality of through holes, all of which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the material receiving layer 3, and the centers of all the through holes are located on a circle, and the center of the circle coincides with the center of the material receiving layer 3. A plurality of hoppers 5 are provided on the material receiving layer 3, and all of the hoppers 5 are correspondingly provided on all the through holes, and the hoppers 5 are trumpet-shaped structures.

[0033] There is a distance between the bottle-turning layer 4 and the material-receiving layer 3, and a number of notches are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the bottle-turning layer 4. The notches are guide grooves 6. All guide grooves 6 pass through the top and bottom surfaces of the bottle-turning layer 4 so that the packaging bottles can be placed in the guide grooves 6. Usually, a semicircular structure is provided on the inner side of the guide grooves 6 to adapt to the shape of the packaging bottles.

[0034] In addition, all the hoppers 5 on the material receiving layer 3 correspond to all the guide grooves 6 on the bottle rotating layer 4 one by one, that is, on the horizontal plane, the projections of the guide grooves 6 and the projections of the hoppers 5 overlap one by one.

[0035] There are multiple discharge pipes 1, but the number of discharge pipes 1 is less than the number of hoppers 5. All discharge pipes 1 are connected to the material distribution mechanism. Each discharge pipe 1 is located above a hopper 5, with a gap between the bottom end of the discharge pipe 1 and the top end of the hopper 5. All discharge pipes 1 are adjacent to each other and evenly distributed along an arc-shaped path. The hoppers 5 corresponding to all discharge pipes 1 are in a one-to-one adjacent relationship.

[0036] The support plate 2 is an arc-shaped structure. The support plate 2 is located below the bottle rotating layer 4 , and the projection of the support plate 2 on the horizontal plane can completely cover the projections of all the discharge pipes 1 on the horizontal plane.

[0037] Below the bottle rotating layer 4, a bottle feeding conveyor belt 7 is provided near one end of the support plate 2. One end of the bottle feeding conveyor belt 7 is just below a guide groove 6, and the conveying direction of the bottle feeding conveyor belt 7 is along the tangential direction of the rotating frame to the support plate 2. The top surface of the support plate 2 and the top surface of the bottle feeding conveyor belt 7 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0038] Below the bottle rotating layer 4, a bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 is provided near the other end of the support plate 2. One end of the bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 is also located just below a guide groove 6. The conveying direction of the bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 is away from the support plate 2. At the same time, the extension direction of the bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 is provided along the radial direction of the rotating frame.

[0039] The operating principle of this embodiment is that a turret is provided with a material receiving layer 3 and a bottle transfer layer 4. A hopper 5 on the material receiving layer 3 assists product in discharging tubes 1 in entering bottles, while guide grooves 6 on the bottle transfer layer 4 drive the bottles on the support plate 2. During the filling process, the turret rotates at an angle corresponding to the central angle of the circle where the two hoppers 5 are located, pausing for a predetermined period after each rotation. This ensures that the product discharged from each discharging tube 1 is evenly distributed among the bottles passing beneath it.

[0040] In this embodiment, by designing multiple discharge pipes 1 and providing a hopper 5 under each discharge pipe 1, the product can be filled into the packaging bottle in batches to reduce the amount of product entering the packaging bottle at a single time, thereby avoiding spillage and greatly improving the filling efficiency.

[0041] In one specific embodiment:

[0042] A guide rod 9 is provided on the periphery of the rotating frame. The guide rod 9 is an arc-shaped structure. The radius of the guide rod 9 is larger than the radius of the rotating frame. The guide rod 9 is arranged above the support plate 2, and the two ends of the guide rod 9 are also located at the two ends of the support plate 2. At the same time, the guide rod 9 is located between the material receiving layer 3 and the bottle rotating layer 4.

[0043] In addition, a baffle 10 is provided on each side of the bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 , and the extending direction of the baffle 10 is consistent with the extending direction of the bottle discharging conveyor belt 8 .

[0044] In this embodiment, guide rods 9 are provided above the support plate 2 to assist in maintaining the bottles in the guide groove 6 along with the rotating bottle layer 4. Baffles 10 are provided on both sides of the bottle discharge conveyor 8 to assist in maintaining the movement of filled bottles on the bottle discharge conveyor 8.

[0045] In another specific embodiment:

[0046] In order to increase the stability of the bottle rotating layer 4 when driving the packaging bottles to rotate, two bottle rotating layers 4 are designed, and the two bottle rotating layers 4 are both located below the material receiving layer 3, and the two bottle rotating layers 4 are arranged in an overlapping manner.

[0047] The guide grooves 6 on the two rotating bottle layers 4 are projected onto the horizontal plane in a one-to-one correspondence. During operation, one rotating bottle layer 4 is close to the bottom of the bottle, while the other is close to the top of the bottle. This ensures that the top and bottom of the bottle are evenly stressed, preventing tipping.

[0048] In another specific embodiment:

[0049] The material receiving mechanism also includes a bottle pushing assembly, which is arranged on the side of the bottle discharge conveyor belt 8 away from the support plate 2, and the driving end of the bottle pushing assembly is located between the two bottle rotating layers 4, and the driving end can move between the guide grooves 6 of the two bottle rotating layers 4.

[0050] Specifically, the bottle pushing assembly includes a rotor 11, a motor 12, and push rods 13. Three push rods 13 are provided, each fixedly positioned at one end around the circumference of the rotor 11. The three push rods 13 are arranged along the radius of the rotor 11, with the angle between two adjacent push rods 13 being 120°. Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent push rods 13, away from one end of the rotor 11, is greater than the width of the guide slot 6.

[0051] The rotor 11 is disposed between the two rotating bottle stages 4, and one end of the rotor 11 is connected to the output end of a motor 12. The motor 12 drives the rotor 11 to rotate about its axis, which is arranged in a vertical direction. As the rotor 11 rotates, the three push rods 13 can sequentially pass between the two guide slots 6.

[0052] Since the friction between the bottle discharge conveyor belt 8 and the bottom surface of the bottle is relatively low, bottles often get stuck in the guide groove 6 and cannot be smoothly transported by the bottle discharge conveyor belt 8. In this embodiment, the push rod 13 is the output end of the bottle pushing assembly. During operation, the motor 12 drives the rotor 11 to rotate, and the rotor 11 drives the push rod 13 to pass between the guide grooves 6 of the two bottle rotating layers 4, thereby pushing the bottle toward the extension direction of the bottle discharge conveyor belt 8, providing the bottle with an initial velocity so that the bottle can move with the bottle discharge conveyor belt 8.

[0053] The above-described embodiments merely represent specific implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
