[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a probiotic beverage bottling equipment includes a conveyor 1. A positioning mechanism 2 is installed on the outside of the conveyor 1. The positioning mechanism 2 includes two sets of guide rails 201, which are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the conveyor 1 respectively. A first L-shaped plate 205 and a clamping plate 207 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two sets of guide rails 201. A horizontal plate 206 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first L-shaped plate 205. Guide rods 210 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 206. Guide blocks 211 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two sets of clamping plates 207. Guide blocks 211 and guide rods 210 are slidably connected.

[0029] In this solution, the two sets of first L-shaped plates 205 can move closer to each other on the inner side of the guide rail 201, thereby clamping and positioning the can at the upper end of the conveyor 1 to prevent the can from tipping over during the canning operation, causing the probiotic beverage to spray onto the conveyor 1. This increases the stability of the can and improves the canning accuracy of the canning head 304. It can accurately position the can opening of the can. The lower end of the canning head 304 can be wiped by the wiping sponge 403, thereby preventing residual beverage from dripping onto the conveyor 1 and contaminating the conveyor 1 and the can.

[0030] Furthermore, the two sets of clamping plates 207 can move closer to each other or move further away from each other on the outside of the guide rod 210, thereby clamping and fixing the can or bottle body of different heights, which has a wide range of applications.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Please refer to Figures 2-3 As shown, a second bidirectional screw 208 is rotatably connected to the middle of the horizontal plate 206, and a threaded block 212 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping plate 207. The second bidirectional screw 208 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 212, and a handle 209 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second bidirectional screw 208.

[0033] The positioning mechanism 2 also includes a first bidirectional screw 202, the front and rear ends of which are rotatably connected to the inner sides of two sets of guide rails 201 respectively. The two ends of the first bidirectional screw 202 are provided with threads and rotate in opposite directions. The first L-shaped plate 205 is threadedly connected to the first bidirectional screw 202.

[0034] A drive motor 203 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the front guide rail 201. The output end of the drive motor 203 and the front end of the first bidirectional screw 202 are both fixedly connected to pulleys 204. The two sets of pulleys 204 are connected by belt drive.

[0035] In this scheme, the drive motor 203 is electrically connected to an external power source. The drive motor 203 can drive the first bidirectional screw 202 to rotate through the pulley 204, thereby driving the two sets of first L-shaped plates 205 to move.

[0036] Furthermore, the handle 209 can drive the second bidirectional screw 208 to rotate, thereby driving the two sets of clamping plates 207 to move through the threaded block 212.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Please refer to Figures 5-6 As shown, a second electric push rod 402 is fixedly installed on the right side of the mounting plate 401. The output end of the second electric push rod 402 extends to the inner side of the mounting plate 401 and is fixedly connected to a filter plate 404. A wiping sponge 403 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the filter plate 404.

[0039] A second L-shaped plate 406 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 401. A third electric push rod 407 is installed on the upper end of the second L-shaped plate 406. The output end of the third electric push rod 407 extends to the lower end of the second L-shaped plate 406 and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 408. The pressure plate 408 is located above the wiping sponge 403. A collection box 405 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 401. The collection box 405 is located below the filter plate 404.

[0040] In this solution, the second electric push rod 402 is electrically connected to an external power source. The second electric push rod 402 can drive the filter plate 404 to move the wiping sponge 403 to the bottom of the filling head 304, thereby wiping away the beverage residue at the bottom of the filling head 304.

[0041] Furthermore, the third electric push rod 407 is electrically connected to an external power source. The third electric push rod 407 can drive the pressure plate 408 to move downward, thereby squeezing the wiping sponge 403, so that the beverage inside the wiping sponge 403 flows through the filter plate 404 into the collection box 405, thus ensuring the water absorption of the wiping sponge 403 and maintaining the wiping effect of the wiping sponge 403.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4As shown, a storage tank 302 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting bracket 301. The storage tank 302 is connected to the filling head 304 through a pipe. A first electric push rod 303 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting bracket 301. The output end of the first electric push rod 303 extends to the lower end of the mounting bracket 301 and is fixedly connected to the filling head 304.

[0044] In this solution, the storage tank 302 can be used to store probiotic beverages. The first electric push rod 303 can drive the filling head 304 to move downward and insert into the inside of the tank, thereby injecting the beverage into the inside of the tank for filling operation.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the height between the clamping plates 207 is adjusted according to the height of the can body, so that the clamping plates 207 can clamp and fix the position of the can body. Then, the can is intermittently conveyed by the conveyor 1. When the can is conveyed to the lower end of the filling head 304, the drive motor 203 starts and drives the first bidirectional screw 202 to rotate through the pulley 204, causing the two sets of first L-shaped plates 205 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping and positioning the can at the upper end of the conveyor 1 to prevent the can from tipping over during the filling operation. Then, the first electric push rod 303 drives the filling head 304 to move downward and insert. The beverage is poured into the inside of the can for filling. After filling, the filling head 304 is reset. At the same time, the second electric push rod 402 can drive the filter plate 404 to move the wiping sponge 403 to the bottom of the filling head 304, thereby wiping away the beverage residue at the bottom of the filling head 304. When it is necessary to clean the beverage inside the wiping sponge 403, the third electric push rod 407 is activated, thereby driving the pressure plate 408 to move downward and squeeze the wiping sponge 403, so that the beverage inside the wiping sponge 403 flows through the filter plate 404 into the collection box 405, thus ensuring the water absorption of the wiping sponge 403.
