Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment, and in particular to a switchable packaging system for filling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Aseptic packaging is a processing procedure that prevents microorganisms from entering food packaging during and after filling. It refers to a packaging technology in which the liquid food being packaged is sterilized before packaging, and then filled and sealed in an aseptic environment under the condition that the packaging material, the packaged food, and packaging auxiliary equipment are all aseptic.

[0003] The aforementioned packaged products are processed in an aseptic filling machine. In the filling machine, the packaging tape is unwound from the reel and conveyed to a sterilization device, where it is sterilized by applying a chemical disinfectant, such as hydrogen peroxide. After sterilization, the packaging tape removes the surface disinfectant through evaporation and extrusion. Then, the packaging tape is first shaped into an ellipse in the forward direction, and further shaped into a cylindrical shape. Through heat sealing, the outer surface plastic of the tape at the overlap is melted, and the two longitudinal edges are overlapped and sealed (longitudinal sealing). The filling machine fills the cylinder with beverages, milk, water, etc., and then one end of the cylinder is laterally sealed (horizontal sealing) by grippers. Subsequently, the cylinder is also laterally sealed (horizontal sealing) at a distance equal to the length of a packaged product, thus creating a continuous, end-to-end packaging container. Finally, a cutter cuts the middle of the horizontally sealed area to form individual packaging containers. In further processing steps, the packaging container can be further folded along the creases by a corresponding folding forming device to form the final shape, such as a brick-shaped package or other hot-pressed packages, or it can be formed into a pillow-shaped package by simply extruding it with an extrusion forming device.

[0004] Currently, filling machines on the market can only switch between hot-pressed bags and pillow bags by changing the terminal packaging line, resulting in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a switchable packaging system for filling equipment, thereby solving the problem of low production efficiency caused by switching between different packaging types through changing terminals in existing technologies.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows.

[0010] A chute drive assembly is installed on the filling machine and is used to drive the discharge chute to connect with the first packaging line or the second packaging line, so that the discharge chute conveys the primary packaging to the first packaging line or the second packaging line.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adding corresponding mechanisms, it is possible to freely switch between hot-pressed packaging and pillow packaging production without replacing any components, achieving the purpose of one machine serving two purposes. This solves the problem that existing filling machines can only produce one type of packaging, and if other packaging needs to be produced, the entire terminal component needs to be replaced, resulting in high costs and low efficiency.

[0051] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0052] Example 1.

[0053] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a switchable packaging system for a filling equipment includes a filling machine 1. The filling machine 1 has a first packaging line 2 and a second packaging line 3 on its outlet side. The filling machine 1 is equipped with a discharge chute 4 for outputting primary packaging and a chute drive assembly 5. The discharge chute 4 can be driven by the chute drive assembly 5 to dock with the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3, thereby conveying primary packaging to the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the exit side of the filling machine 1 is its right side, and both the first packaging line 2 and the second packaging line 3 are located on the right side of the filling machine 1. Figure 2 As shown, the left end of the discharge chute 4 is hinged to the filling machine 1 via the first connecting hinge 6, and the right end of the discharge chute 4 extends away from the filling machine 1 and can be configured to be lower than the left end. The chute drive assembly 5 can drive the discharge chute 4 to rotate relative to the filling machine 1 around the hinge point at its left end, so as to realize the docking of the right end of the discharge chute 4 with the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3, that is, to switch the right end between connecting to the first packaging line 2 or connecting to the second packaging line 3.

[0055] Specifically, the chute drive assembly 5 includes a linear motion drive device 51, which in this embodiment is in the form of a hydraulic cylinder. The rear end of the linear motion drive device 51 is hinged to the filling machine 1 via a second connecting hinge 7, and the front end of the linear motion drive device 51 is hinged to the discharge movable chute 4 via a third connecting hinge 8, preferably hinged to the middle of the discharge movable chute 4. In this embodiment, the linear motion drive device 51 can be actuated by a manual switch (not shown in the figure). In other embodiments, the linear motion drive device 51 can also be controlled by a program. During operation, as the linear motion drive device 51 extends and retracts, it drives the discharge movable chute 4 to rotate around its hinge point with the first connecting hinge 6. In other embodiments, the linear motion drive device 51 can also be in the form of an electric actuator.

[0056] In one example, the first packaging line 2 is a heat-pressed packaging line, and the second packaging line 3 is a pillow bag packaging line.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the first packaging line 2 includes a connected hot press conveyor belt 21 and a hot press conveyor chain 22. A hot press folding and hot press forming device 23 is installed on the hot press conveyor belt 21. The hot press folding and hot press forming device 23 can fold the edges of the primary packaging and heat press the folded edges to the surface of the primary packaging to form a cubic brick-shaped package. Figure 5 The discharge chute 4 is shown to be connected to the hot press conveyor belt 21 via the chute drive assembly 5.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the second packaging line 3 includes a pillow bag conveyor separation chute 31, a pillow bag conveyor belt 32, and a pillow bag conveyor chain 33 connected in sequence. A pillow bag extrusion forming device is installed on the pillow bag conveyor belt 32. The pillow bag extrusion forming device includes a roller 34 disposed above the top surface of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32, with a gap between the roller 34 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 for the passage of primary packaging. When the primary packaging passes through the gap between the roller 34 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 32, it is flattened to form a pillow bag. Figure 4 The discharge chute 4 is shown to dock with the pillow pack conveying and separating chute 31 via the chute drive assembly 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the switchable packaging system operates by manually activating the linear motion drive device 51 via a manual switch. This drives the discharge chute 4 to connect with either the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3. The primary packaging, filled by the filling machine 1, enters the first end of the discharge chute 4, which is hinged to the filling machine 1, through its discharge channel. The primary packaging then slides within the discharge chute 4 and enters the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3 from the second end of the discharge chute 4. The primary packaging is then formed by the hot-press folding and hot-press forming device 23 of the first packaging line 2 or the pillow-pack extrusion forming device of the second packaging line 3, and then output.

[0060] Example 2.

[0061] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the chute drive assembly 5 includes a turntable 52 mounted on the filling machine 1 and a turntable drive device 53 connected to the turntable 52. The first end of the discharge movable chute 4 is fixedly connected to the turntable 52, and the second end of the discharge movable chute 4 extends away from the filling machine 1 and is set to be lower than the first end connected to the turntable 52. The turntable 52 is driven to rotate by the turntable drive device 53, thereby driving the discharge movable chute 4 to rotate synchronously, so that the second end of the discharge movable chute 4 is connected to the first packaging line 2 or the second packaging line 3.

[0062] The turntable drive device 53 can be actuated by a remote control switch (not shown in the figure). The turntable drive device 53 is a motor, and the turntable drive device 53 is connected to the turntable 52 via a belt 54.

[0063] Example 3.

[0064] like Figures 10-11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that: the turntable drive device 53 is a drive motor, the radial outer peripheral surface of the turntable 52 is provided with teeth, the radial outer peripheral surface of the power output wheel of the drive motor is provided with teeth, and the power output wheel of the drive motor meshes with the radial outer peripheral surface of the turntable 52.

[0065] Example 4.

[0066] like Figures 12-15 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the linear motion drive device 51 is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0067] In this embodiment, the left end of the pillow bag conveyor separation chute 31 is higher than its right end, and the top surfaces of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 and pillow bag conveyor chain 33 are flush. The top surfaces of the hot press conveyor belt 21 and hot press conveyor chain 22 are higher than the top surfaces of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 and pillow bag conveyor chain 33, that is, the position of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 and pillow bag conveyor chain 33 is lower than the top surfaces of the hot press conveyor belt 21 and hot press conveyor chain 22, which saves installation space and facilitates conveying. The roller 34 of the pillow bag extrusion molding device is connected to the ground through the roller bracket 341 and is also connected to the frame of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 through the roller bracket 341.

[0068] The primary packaging filled by the filling machine can be conveyed along the movement control route of the discharge chute 4. When the discharge chute 4 is located... Figure 15 At the indicated position, the primary packaging is conveyed to the first packaging line 2, where it is shaped into brick-shaped packages by the hot press folding and hot pressing forming device 23, and then conveyed to other equipment via the hot press conveyor chain 22; when the discharge chute 4 rotates to... Figure 12At the indicated position, the primary packaging will slide out from the discharge chute 4 to the second packaging line 3. Under the combined action of the top surface of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 and the roller 34, the primary packaging will be pressed into a pillow bag and then conveyed to other equipment.

[0069] Example 5.

[0070] like Figures 16-17 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the turntable drive device 53 is a turntable drive motor, which is vertically mounted on the filling machine 1, and the turntable 52 is coaxially mounted above the power output shaft of the turntable drive motor.

[0071] Example 6.

[0072] like Figure 18 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the pillow bag extrusion molding device includes an extrusion conveyor belt 35 disposed above the pillow bag conveyor belt 32. The distance between the end of the extrusion conveyor belt 35 near the filling machine 1 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 is greater than the distance between the end of the extrusion conveyor belt 35 away from the filling machine 1 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 32. This facilitates the entry of the primary packaging into the space between the extrusion conveyor belt 35 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 and its compression into a pillow bag.

[0073] The extrusion conveyor belt 35 is connected to the frame 321 of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 via the extrusion conveyor belt bracket 351. Figure 19 In another example shown, the extrusion conveyor belt 35 is connected to the ground via an extrusion conveyor belt support 351.

[0074] Example 7.

[0075] like Figure 20 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the pillow bag extrusion molding device includes a lifting and compression device disposed above the top surface of the pillow bag conveyor belt 32. The lifting and compression device includes a vertically arranged vertical drive device 36 and a pressing plate 37, with the pressing plate 37 installed at the bottom end of the vertical drive device 36. The pressing plate 37 can press against the pillow bag conveyor belt 32 under the drive of the vertical drive device 36 to compress the passing primary packaging into a pillow bag.

[0076] The vertical drive unit 36 ​​is connected to the ground via a lifting and compression device bracket 361. In such a case... Figure 21 In another example shown, the vertical drive unit 36 ​​is connected to the frame 321 of the pillowcase conveyor belt 32 via a lifting compression device bracket 361.

[0077] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
