Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gel production technology, and in particular relates to a gel filling device. Background Technology

[0002] A gel is a special semi-solid or solid substance with a network structure that can absorb large amounts of liquid (usually water). Gels are typically formed by dispersing polymeric compounds or colloids in a liquid medium. They combine the softness of liquids with the stability of solids and are commonly used in medical, cosmetic, industrial, and food industries.

[0003] After the gel is produced and processed, it needs to be filled into a specific container or package. Currently, there are some filling devices on the market, such as a gel filling device with publication number CN219885650U disclosed on the China Patent Network. This filling device can be used for filling gel, but it has some defects and shortcomings that need to be improved: (1) Due to the structural design of some existing filling devices, each filling operation can only fill the gel into a single container. After completing a filling operation, the filled container needs to be removed and replaced with a new container, which is cumbersome and inconvenient. This not only reduces the efficiency of the filling work, but also increases the workload of the staff; (2) Some existing filling devices lack effective gel recovery measures, making it difficult to uniformly recover the gel that overflows or spills during the filling process, thus causing waste; (3) After long-term use, some existing filling devices often have some gel remaining in their internal hoppers or pipes, which is difficult to clean, thus causing the device to become blocked and affecting the subsequent filling process. Therefore, in view of the above problems, the gel filling device provided by this utility model is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a gel filling device that uses multiple filling tubes to guide gel from the discharge hopper into containers within corresponding limiting holes, allowing for simultaneous gel filling of multiple containers without frequent container changes. This significantly improves filling efficiency and reduces workload. Overflowing or spilled gel during filling falls into the recycling tank through the gap between the filling plate and the inner wall of the recycling tank, ensuring unified recycling and preventing waste. A stirring mechanism agitates the gel before filling to prevent stratification or sedimentation due to prolonged standing, which could affect filling uniformity and product quality. A pressurizing mechanism compresses the gel in the discharge hopper to accelerate filling and prevent excessive viscosity buildup at the bottom of the hopper, which could cause blockages. During pressurization, a cleaning brush scrapes along the inner wall of the discharge hopper to remove residual gel, effectively preventing long-term gel accumulation and blockages that could affect subsequent filling processes. In summary, this invention solves the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a gel filling device, including a base, a bracket fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a recycling trough placed on the base. The recycling trough is circular, and a positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the center of its bottom. An insert rod is inserted into the positioning cylinder, and several connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the insert rod. A filling plate is fixedly connected to the end of each connecting block. The filling plate is annular and has several limiting holes on its surface. The bracket is L-shaped, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to its side wall. A discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the end. The discharge hopper is circular and located directly above the recycling tank. Several filling pipes are fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the discharge hopper. A pressurizing mechanism is installed directly above the discharge hopper. A storage box is installed on the top of the support. The storage box is circular and has a feed inlet at the top. A guide pipe is installed at the bottom of the storage box. The other end of the guide pipe passes through the top of the support and the top side wall of the discharge hopper and is connected to the discharge hopper. A guide valve is installed on the guide pipe.

[0007] The pressurizing mechanism includes a cylinder, which is mounted on the top of the bracket. Several mounting seats are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder's output shaft, and a pressure plate is mounted on the bottom of the mounting seats.

[0008] Furthermore, a number of positioning posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the recycling tank. The positioning posts are distributed in an equidistant ring along the circumference of the recycling tank. A number of positioning slots are opened on the top surface of the base. The positioning slots are circular, and their number is the same as that of the positioning posts. Their diameter is equal to that of the positioning posts, and the center of each positioning slot corresponds one-to-one with the center of each positioning post.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting holes are distributed in an equidistant ring along the circumference of the filling plate, the number of filling tubes is the same as the number of limiting holes, and the end of each filling tube is located directly above the corresponding limiting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the insertion rod is equal to the inner diameter of the positioning cylinder, its top height is less than the top height of the recycling tank, and the outer diameter of the filling plate is less than the inner diameter of the recycling tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure plate is circular, and its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the discharge hopper, and a cleaning brush is provided on the side wall surface of the pressure plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting seats are distributed in an equidistant ring along the circumference of the cylinder's output shaft, and each mounting seat has a mounting hole. A stud is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate, and a nut is threaded onto the stud to cooperate with it. The number of studs is the same as the number of mounting seats, and their diameters correspond to the diameters of the mounting holes. The center of each stud corresponds one-to-one with the center of each mounting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the storage tank is equipped with a stirring mechanism, which includes a motor. The motor is installed on the top of the storage tank, and a stirring rod is installed at its output end. The stirring rod passes through the top of the storage tank and extends into the storage tank, and the rod body is provided with several stirring blades.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0015] (1) When using the gel filling device of this utility model, the gel entering the discharge hopper can be introduced into the container in the corresponding limiting hole through multiple filling tubes, so that the gel filling work of multiple containers can be completed at the same time without frequent container replacement. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of filling work, but also effectively reduces the workload of workers.

[0016] (2) When the gel filling device of this utility model is used, the gel that overflows or spills during the filling process can fall into the recycling tank through the gap between the filling plate and the inner wall of the recycling tank, so that the gel can be uniformly recycled through the recycling tank, thereby effectively avoiding waste.

[0017] (3) When using the gel filling device of this utility model, the gel can be stirred before filling by the stirring mechanism to prevent the gel from being separated or precipitated due to long-term standing, which would affect the uniformity of filling and product quality. The gel in the discharge hopper can be squeezed by the pressurizing mechanism to speed up the filling speed of the gel, thereby avoiding the gel from accumulating at the bottom of the discharge hopper due to excessive viscosity and causing blockage. When pressurizing, the cleaning brush can scrape along the inner wall of the discharge hopper to clean the gel remaining on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, thereby effectively preventing the gel from accumulating for a long time and causing blockage, which would affect the subsequent filling process.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "relative", "one end", "inner", "lateral", "end", "both ends", "both sides", "front", "one end face", "the other end face", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-8As shown, this utility model discloses a gel filling device, including a base 1, a support 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a recycling tank 3 placed on the base 1. The recycling tank 3 is circular, and a positioning cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the center of its bottom. An insert rod 5 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 4, and several connecting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the insert rod 5. A filling plate 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting blocks 6. The filling plate 7 is annular, and several limiting holes 8 are opened on its surface. A container for filling gel can be inserted into each limiting hole 8. The support 2 is L-shaped, and a fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to its side wall. A discharge hopper 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 9. The discharge hopper 10 is circular and located directly above the recycling tank 3. Several filling tubes 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the discharge hopper 10. A pressurizing mechanism is provided directly above the discharge hopper 10. A storage box 12 is installed on the top of the support 2. The storage box 12 is circular and has an inlet 13 on its top. A guide pipe 14 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 12. The other end of the guide pipe 14 passes through the top of the support 2 and the top side wall of the discharge hopper 10 and is connected to the discharge hopper 10. A guide valve 15 is installed on the guide pipe 14. Gel can be injected into the storage box 12 through the inlet 13. A sealing plug can be inserted into the inlet 13 for sealing. By opening the guide valve 15, the gel in the storage box 12 can be guided into the discharge hopper 10 along the guide pipe 14 and then guided into the container in the corresponding limiting hole 8 through each filling pipe 11. Thus, the gel filling work of multiple containers can be completed at the same time without frequent container replacement. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of the filling work, but also effectively reduces the workload of the staff.

[0033] The pressurizing mechanism includes a cylinder 16, which is mounted on the top of the bracket 2. Several mounting seats 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the output shaft. A pressure plate 18 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting seat 17. The pressure plate 18 can be driven to move downward by driving the cylinder 16. When the pressure plate 18 extends into the discharge hopper 10, it can squeeze the gel in the discharge hopper 10 to speed up the filling speed of the gel and avoid the gel from accumulating at the bottom of the discharge hopper 10 due to excessive viscosity and causing blockage.

[0034] The bottom of the recycling tank 3 is fixedly connected with several positioning posts 19. The positioning posts 19 are distributed in a ring at equal intervals along the circumference of the recycling tank 3. The top surface of the base 1 is provided with several positioning slots 20. The number of positioning slots 20 is the same as that of the positioning posts 19, and their diameters are equal to the diameters of the positioning posts 19. The center of each positioning slot 20 corresponds one-to-one with the center of each positioning post 19. When the recycling tank 3 is placed on the base 1, each positioning post 19 can be aligned and inserted into the corresponding positioning slot 20. At this time, the recycling tank 3 can be positioned by the mutual cooperation between the positioning posts 19 and the positioning slots 20, so as to fix the recycling tank 3 in the designated position on the base 1 and prevent it from shifting.

[0035] The limiting holes 8 are distributed in an equidistant ring along the circumference of the filling plate 7. The number of filling tubes 11 is the same as that of the limiting holes 8, and the end of each filling tube 11 is located directly above the corresponding limiting hole 8. This ensures that the gel can be accurately injected into the container in the corresponding limiting hole 8 along each filling tube 11 during filling, without deviating from the intended path.

[0036] The diameter of the insert rod 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the positioning cylinder 4, and its top height is less than the top height of the recycling tank 3. The outer diameter of the filling plate 7 is less than the inner diameter of the recycling tank 3. The insert rod 5 can be inserted into and attached to the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 4. The insert rod 5 and the filling plate 7 are fixed together in the recycling tank 3 by insertion. At this time, there is a certain gap between the filling plate 7 and the inner wall of the recycling tank 3. When gel overflows or spills during the filling process, the overflowing or spilled gel can fall into the recycling tank 3 through the gap so that this part of the gel can be uniformly recycled through the recycling tank 3. After the filling is completed, the insert rod 5 is pulled out and the filling plate 7 is taken out of the recycling tank 3. Then the recycling tank 3 is removed from the base 1, and the gel recycled in the recycling tank 3 can be reused, thereby effectively avoiding waste.

[0037] The pressure plate 18 is circular, and its diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the discharge hopper 10. A cleaning brush 21 is provided on the side wall surface of the pressure plate 18. The cleaning brush 21 contacts the inner wall of the discharge hopper 10. When the pressure plate 18 extends into the discharge hopper 10 and moves up and down, the cleaning brush 21 can scrape along the inner wall of the discharge hopper 10 to clean the gel remaining on the inner wall of the discharge hopper 10. This can effectively prevent the gel from accumulating for a long time and causing blockage, which would affect the subsequent filling process.

[0038] The mounting bases 17 are distributed in an equidistant ring along the circumference of the output shaft of the cylinder 16, and each mounting base 17 has a mounting hole 22. The top of the pressure plate 18 is fixedly connected to a stud 23, and a nut 27 is threaded onto the stud 23 to cooperate with it. The number of studs 23 is the same as that of the mounting bases 17, and their diameters correspond to the diameters of the mounting holes 22. The center of each stud 23 corresponds to the center of each mounting hole 22. Each stud 23 can be aligned and pass through the corresponding mounting hole 22. At this time, the nut 27 is threaded onto each stud 23 and tightened. The pressure plate 18 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 17 through the cooperation between the studs 23, the mounting holes 22, and the nut 27. The pressure plate 18 can be removed from the mounting base 17 by unscrewing the nut 27 so that the cleaning brush 21 can be cleaned.

[0039] The storage tank 12 is equipped with a stirring mechanism, which includes a motor 24. The motor 24 is installed on the top of the storage tank 12, and a stirring rod 25 is installed at its output end. The stirring rod 25 passes through the top of the storage tank 12 and extends into the storage tank 12. The stirring rod 25 is provided with several stirring blades 26. Before filling the gel, the motor 24 can drive the stirring rod 25 and each stirring blade 26 to rotate. At this time, the stirring blades 26 can stir the gel in the storage tank 12, so as to effectively prevent the gel from being separated or precipitated due to long-term standing, which would affect the uniformity of filling and product quality.

[0040] The circuits, electronic components, and chip modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0041] All standard parts used in the application documents can be purchased from the market. All components in this application document can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The electrical components mentioned in this document are all connected to the external main controller and 220V mains power. The main controller is a conventional known device that can play a control role.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] In use, the gel to be filled can be introduced into the storage tank 12 through the feed inlet 13. After the gel enters the storage tank 12, the drive motor 24 drives the stirring rod 25 and each stirring blade 26 to rotate. At this time, the stirring blades 26 can stir the gel in the storage tank 12, so as to effectively prevent the gel from layering or settling due to long-term standing, which would affect the uniformity of filling and product quality. After the gel is fully stirred, the guide valve 15 is opened to guide the gel in the storage tank 12 into the discharge hopper 10 along the guide pipe 14. After the gel enters the discharge hopper 10, it can be guided into the container in the corresponding limiting hole 8 through each filling pipe 11, so that the gel filling of multiple containers can be completed at the same time without frequent container changes. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of filling work, but also effectively reduces the workload of workers. During the filling process, the drive cylinder 16 can drive the pressure plate 18 to move downward. When the pressure plate 18 extends into the discharge hopper 10, it can squeeze the gel in the discharge hopper 10 to speed up the filling speed of the gel, thereby preventing the gel from accumulating at the bottom of the discharge hopper 10 due to excessive viscosity and causing blockage. At the same time, the cleaning brush 21 on the side wall surface of the pressure plate 18 can scrape along the inner wall of the discharge hopper 10 to clean the gel remaining on the inner wall of the discharge hopper 10, thereby effectively preventing the gel from accumulating for a long time and causing blockage, which would affect the subsequent filling process. When gel overflows or spills during the filling process, the overflowing or spilled gel can fall into the recycling tank 3 through the gap between the filling plate 7 and the inner wall of the recycling tank 3, so that this part of the gel can be uniformly recycled through the recycling tank 3. After the filling is completed, the insertion rod 5 is pulled out to remove the filling plate 7 from the recycling tank 3, and then the recycling tank 3 is removed from the base 1, so that the gel recycled by the recycling tank 3 can be reused, thereby effectively avoiding waste.
