A driving assembly for driving the slide 19 to move up and down along the support frame 3 is provided in the support frame 3, and the driving assembly includes a screw rod 18, which is rotatably connected to the support frame 3, and the screw rod 18 The top of the support frame 3 is fixed with a reduction motor by bolts, and the output shaft of the reduction motor passes through the support frame 3 and is fixed with the screw rod 18. The two sets of clamping assemblies include two first cylinders 7, and the two first cylinders 7 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the conveyor belt 4 by bolts. One end of the output shaft of the two first cylinders 7 is fixed with a clamping block 6 by bolts, and the clamping block 6 is located above the conveyor belt 4. One side of the retaining frame 10 is provided with two avoidance grooves 5 for allowing the clamping block 6 to pass through the retaining frame 10. The filling head 22 and the capping head 12 are both located directly above the conveyor belt 4 and in the center. The two sets of clamping assemblies The components are respectively located directly below the filling head 22 and the capping head 12. During the bottle conveying process, when the infrared sensor 20 senses the bottle, the first cylinder 7 is started to extend, and the first cylinder 7 pushes the clamping block 6 to pass through the avoidance groove 5 so that the clamping block 6 clamps and fixes the bottle. Then the motor is started to drive the screw rod 18 to rotate. The screw rod 18 drives the slide 19 to move downward along the support frame 3 through the threaded engagement between the screw rod 18 and the slide 19. The slide 19 drives the filling head 22 to move downward, so that the filling head 22 enters the bottle, thereby filling the bottle. After the filling is completed, the motor is reversed to separate the filling head 22 from the bottle. At the same time, the first cylinder 7 contracts so that the clamping block 6 no longer clamps the bottle. At this time, the conveyor belt 4 will continue to transport the filled bottles. In the process of pressing the bottle caps, another set of first cylinders 7 will extend, so that the clamping block 6 passes through the avoidance groove 5 so that the clamping block 6 clamps and fixes the bottle, ensuring stable bottle filling and bottle cap pressing.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the bottles are transported by the conveyor belt 4. During the process of transporting the bottles, the bottles can be stopped and limited by the blocking frame 10, so that the bottles can be transported neatly. During the process of transporting the bottles, when the infrared sensor 20 senses the bottle, the first cylinder 7 is started to extend, and the first cylinder 7 pushes the clamping block 6 to pass through the avoidance groove 5 so that the clamping block 6 clamps and fixes the bottle. Then the motor is started to drive the screw rod 18 to rotate. The screw rod 18 is engaged with the thread between the slide 19 to drive the slide 19 along the support The frame 3 moves downward, and the slide 19 drives the filling head 22 to move downward, so that the filling head 22 enters the bottle, thereby filling the bottle. After the filling is completed, the motor reverses to separate the filling head 22 from the bottle. At the same time, the first cylinder 7 contracts so that the clamping block 6 no longer clamps the bottle. At this time, the conveyor belt 4 will continue to transport the filled bottle. When the bottle is transported to the bottom of the discharge port, the second cylinder 17 extends and pushes the slide rod 13 to move downward along the chute 11. The slide rod 13 drives the round rod 16 to move downward. The rod 16 passes the bottle cap in the discharge port through the truncated cone rubber sleeve 15 and drops it onto the bottle. Then the second cylinder 17 contracts to move the slide bar 13 upward, thereby separating the round rod 16 from the discharge port. At this time, the bottle cap in the bottle cap guide rail 14 will fall into the discharge port and be supported by the truncated cone rubber sleeve 15. Then the conveyor belt 4 continues to transport the bottle. When the bottle is transported to the bottom of the capping head 12, another group of first cylinders 7 is started to extend. The first cylinder 7 pushes the clamping block 6 to pass through the avoidance groove 5 to clamp the bottle. Then the second cylinder 17 is pressed The cylinder 17 continues to extend to push the slide bar 13 downward, thereby moving the capping head 12 downward and allowing the bottle cap to enter the groove on the capping head 12. Then the motor is started, and the motor drives the capping head 12 to move, so that the capping head 12 drives the bottle cap to rotate and tighten the bottle cap. At the same time, the next bottle will be conveyed to the bottom of the discharge port, so that the round rod 16 will squeeze the bottle cap in the discharge port out and drop it onto the bottle, thereby concentrating the filling of the beverage and the pressing of the bottle cap to work together, saving time and improving the degree of automation of beverage filling.
