Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule cup filling, specifically a powder compaction mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Capsule coffee is extracted using a specialized high-temperature, high-pressure capsule coffee machine. The degree of compaction of the coffee material inside the capsule has a significant impact on the taste of the extracted coffee. Proper compaction allows water to fully penetrate the coffee grounds, extracting the flavor and aroma of the coffee and ensuring a rich and consistent taste.
[0003] However, the degree of compaction should be moderate. Over-compaction will increase the resistance of the coffee puck, prolong the water penetration time, and the final extracted coffee may be viscous and bitter.
[0004] Conversely, if the coffee grounds are not compacted sufficiently, they cannot be extracted evenly, which may affect the taste and quality of the coffee.
[0005] Therefore, when making coffee capsules, the appropriate degree of compaction needs to be determined based on the characteristics of the coffee and its grind size to ensure the best taste. This requires an automated coffee capsule filling system with a suitable compaction mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a powder compaction mechanism to solve the above problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

The powder lifting device is mounted on the main board, and the powder pressing device is fixed to the main board with one end extending into the dust-collecting elastic sealing device. The dust-collecting elastic sealing device is connected to the main board. A powder pressing head extends into a capsule containing material via a powder lifting cylinder, and a powder rotating cylinder drives the pressing head to rotate, thus compressing the material. The mechanism utilizes the downward pressure and rotational force of the pressing head, and adjusts the powder pressure using the pressure of the rotating cylinder, thereby compacting the coffee capsule. The powder pressing head presses down on the material, and the sealed cavity formed by the powder dust collection hood and the main board (D) effectively removes dust from the mouth of the coffee capsule, ensuring a clean mouth and providing good sealing conditions for subsequent sealing.

The powder bearing positioning seat is mounted on the powder main board C.

The powder dust-collecting hood is connected to the powder main board C through the dust-collecting elastic mechanism, and the powder dust-collecting hood is provided with a powder dust-collecting pipe.
[0015] Preferably, the dust suction elastic mechanism includes a powder spring and a powder movable column.
[0016] Preferably, the powder spring is connected to a powder dust collection hood and a powder main board C at both ends, and one end of the powder movable column is fixed on the powder dust collection hood, while the other end is movably connected to the powder main board C in a limiting manner.
[0017] Preferably, the powder main board D is a conveying plate, and the powder main board D is provided with a placement groove.
[0018] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model discloses a powder compaction mechanism, including a powder mechanism main board, a powder lifting device, a powder pressing device, and a dust-collecting elastic sealing device, which work together to achieve their functions.
[0019] ① The powder press head extends into the capsule cup containing the material through the powder lifting cylinder, and the powder press head is driven to rotate by the powder rotating cylinder to compress the material. The downward pressure and rotational force of the powder press head are utilized, and the pressure of the powder rotating cylinder is used to adjust the powder pressure, thereby achieving the compaction of the capsule coffee.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] A powder compaction mechanism includes a powder mechanism main board 21, a powder lifting device 22, a powder pressing device 23, and a dust-collecting elastic sealing device 24. The powder lifting device 22 is mounted on the powder mechanism main board 21. The powder pressing device 23 is fixed on the powder mechanism main board 21, and one end of it extends into the dust-collecting elastic sealing device 24. The dust-collecting elastic sealing device 24 is connected to the powder mechanism main board 21. The powder mechanism main board 21 includes powder main board A211, powder main board B212, powder main board C213, and powder main board D214. The powder lifting device 22 includes a powder lifting cylinder 2. 21. Powder bearing with seat 222, powder sliding shaft 223. The powder lifting cylinder 221 is fixed on the powder main board A211. The powder bearing with seat 222 is fixed on the powder main board A211. The powder sliding shaft 223 passes through the powder main board A211 and the powder main board B212 and connects to the powder main board C213. The crossbeam between the powder sliding shafts 223 is connected to the telescopic end of the powder lifting cylinder 221. The powder pressing device 23 includes a powder rotating cylinder 231, a powder coupling 232, a powder transition shaft 233, a powder bearing positioning seat 234, and a powder pressing head 235. To prevent powder from being pressed... The powder pressing head 235 is coated with a special coating to prevent powder adhesion. The powder rotary cylinder 231 is mounted on the powder main board B212. One end of the powder transition shaft 233 is connected to the powder rotary cylinder 231 via a powder coupling 232, and the other end of the powder transition shaft 233 passes through a powder bearing positioning seat 234 and connects to the powder pressing head 235. The powder bearing positioning seat 234 is mounted on the powder main board C213. The dust suction elastic sealing device 24 includes a powder dust suction hood 241 and a dust suction elastic mechanism 242. The powder dust suction hood 241 is connected to the powder main board C213 via the dust suction elastic mechanism 242. Next, the powder dust collection hood 241 is provided with a powder dust collection pipe 2411, and the dust collection elastic mechanism 242 includes a powder spring 2421 and a powder movable column 2422. The two ends of the powder spring 2421 are respectively connected to the powder dust collection hood 241 and the powder main board C213. One end of the powder movable column 2422 is fixed on the powder dust collection hood 241, and the other end is movably connected to the powder main board C213 in a limited manner.

[0029] Working mode: When the powder main board D214 drives the capsule cup to be conveyed to the bottom of the powder pressing device 23 on the conveyor belt, the powder lifting cylinder 221 drives the powder main board C213 to descend, thereby driving the powder dust suction hood 241 to press down the powder main board D214. The powder pressing head 235 extends into the capsule cup and comes into direct contact with the material. At the same time, the powder rotating cylinder 231 acts to drive the powder pressing head 235 to rotate and compact the material. The pressure of the powder pressing head 235 on the material can be adjusted by the air pressure of the powder rotating cylinder 231.
[0030] While the powder press head 235 presses down on the material, the powder suction pipe 2411 operates to suction dust from the cavity inside the powder suction hood 241, removing dust from the mouth of the capsule cup to prevent contamination and ensure proper sealing in subsequent processes. Furthermore, by pressing down on the material inside the capsule cup with the powder press head 235, the suction action prevents the material from being sucked away during operation.
