Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model particularly relates to a rotating platform for food filling. Background Art

[0002] During the food filling process, the rotating platform rotates to move the container to be filled under the filling head, allowing the filling operation to begin. Existing rotating platforms include a support frame, on which a turntable is rotatably mounted. The turntable is provided with multiple spaced-apart limiting grooves around its circumference. Each limiting groove is recessed inwardly from the turntable. Because the limiting grooves are factory-set in size, they only accommodate containers of a specific diameter. However, there are often many types of containers used for food filling, which significantly limits the applicability of these rotating platforms. Utility Model Content

[0024] A rotating platform for food filling, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 , including a support frame 1, a turntable 2 is rotatably provided on the support frame 1, the turntable 2 is connected to a driving device, a plurality of mounting seats 3 are arranged around the turntable 2 at intervals, each mounting seat 3 is provided with a notch 4, an elastic fixing piece 5 is connected to the mounting seat 3, the mounting seat 3, the notch 4, and the elastic fixing piece 5 are jointly enclosed to form a space for limiting a container 6, and containers 6 of different diameters can be limited in the space under the action of the elastic fixing piece 5.

[0025] Furthermore, the notch 4 is provided with an arc surface that matches the outer circumference of the container 6 .

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting base 3 is detachably connected to the turntable 2 .

[0027] Furthermore, a first locking member 7 is provided on the side of the mounting seat 3, and a second locking member 8 is provided on the top of the mounting seat 3. The first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8 pass through the mounting seat 3 and are connected to the turntable 2 respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, the turntable 2 is provided with a mounting opening 9 for assembling the mounting seat 3 .

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting seat 3 is provided with an avoidance groove 10 that cooperates with the turntable 2 .

[0030] Furthermore, the driving device is a rotating motor.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the container 6 is limited in the space enclosed by the mounting seat 3, the notch 4, and the elastic fixing plate 5, and then the driving device is started. The driving device drives the turntable 2 to rotate, and the turntable 2 drives the container 6 to rotate during the rotation process, so as to move the container 6 to be filled to the bottom of the filling head. The filling machine is generally arranged on one side of the rotating platform. Since the filling process of the filling machine and the rotating platform belongs to the mature technical means in this technical field, it will not be described in detail in this article. As an embodiment 1, the driving device can be implemented by a rotating motor. This application mainly makes major improvements to the structural coordination used to limit the container 6. The ideas for improvement are as follows:

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of mounting seats 3 are arranged around the circumference of the turntable 2. Each mounting seat 3 has a notch 4. Elastic fixing plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the notch 4. The elastic fixing plates 5, mounting seats 3, and notch 4 together form a space for retaining a container 6. Because the elastic fixing plates 5 have a certain elasticity, even containers 6 of different diameters can be retained within the space. As in Example 1, the elastic fixing plates 5 can be made of nitrile rubber or silicone rubber. Both ends of the elastic fixing plates 5 are fixed to the mounting seats 3 by screws or the like. The elastic fixing plates 5 can undergo elastic deformation to better fit the outer circumference of the container 6. The container 6 referred to here generally refers to a bottle. However, the deformation of the elastic fixing plates 5 is limited. The space formed by the elastic fixing plates 5, mounting seats 3, and notch 4 in Example 1 is more suitable for bottles with similar diameters. For containers 6 with larger diameters, the structure of Example 2 below is more often used.

[0034] As a second embodiment, the present application configures the mounting base 3 to be detachably connected to the turntable 2. The mounting base 3 is factory-set with different-sized notches 4. That is, the mounting base 3 and the elastic fixing plate 5 with different notches 4 enclose spaces of different sizes. Therefore, by changing the size of the space, it can accommodate bottles of different diameters. When it is necessary to position a container 6 with a larger diameter, the first locking member 7 and the second locking member 8 are unscrewed, and the mounting base 3 can be removed from the mounting opening 9 on the turntable 2. Since the elastic fixing plate 5 is fixed to the mounting base 3, the elastic fixing plate 5 is directly removed together. The new mounting base 3 is then positioned on the mounting opening 9 of the turntable 2. One end of the first locking member 7 is then passed through the mounting base 3 and connected to the turntable 2. Similarly, one end of the second locking member 8 is also passed through the mounting base 3 and connected to the turntable 2. After installation, the space enclosed by the mounting base 3, the notch 4, and the elastic fixing plate 5 can now position containers 6 of different diameters. In actual use, the user needs to select a mounting base 3 with a corresponding notch 4 size based on the size of the bottle.

[0035] In the above technology, regarding the installation coordination between the mounting seat 3 and the turntable 2, the present application provides an avoidance groove 10 at the lower end of the mounting seat 3. When the mounting seat 3 is assembled on the mounting opening 9 on the turntable 2, the turntable 2 abuts against the avoidance groove 10. This design allows for quick positioning and installation of the mounting seat 3.

[0036] Compared with the groove for limiting the container 6 designed in the turntable 2 of the prior art, the present application forms a space for limiting the container 6 by jointly enclosing the mounting seat 3, the notch 4 and the elastic fixing plate 5. Since the elastic fixing plate 5 has a certain deformation amount, it can be applicable to containers 6 with similar diameters; in addition, in order to increase the application range of the rotating platform, the present application designs the mounting seat 3 to be detachably connected to the turntable 2. The user can replace the mounting seat 3 with different notch 4 sizes according to usage requirements, thereby being applicable to containers 6 with larger diameters.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure that various changes or modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to illustrate rather than limit the present invention, which shall be defined by the claims.
