Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mulberry juice preparation technology, and more specifically, it relates to a filling mechanism for mulberry juice preparation. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the fruit juice beverage industry, the market demand for healthy fruit juice drinks is increasing, especially mulberry juice, which is highly nutritious and popular among consumers. In the production process of mulberry juice, the bottling stage is crucial, as its accuracy directly affects product quality and consumer satisfaction. However, with current technology, traditional bottling methods struggle to precisely control the amount of juice filled each time, potentially leading to overfilling or underfilling. This not only affects product consistency but also may result in resource waste and even unnecessary economic losses.

[0003] Furthermore, modern juice production lines are constantly demanding higher filling efficiency and automation levels. However, current filling methods often lack sufficient flexibility and are difficult to adapt to the efficient operation of large-scale production lines. The structure and operation of traditional equipment have significant shortcomings in terms of stability and accuracy. These shortcomings limit the optimization of production processes and further improvement of product quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filling mechanism for preparing mulberry juice, comprising a mounting frame, a support column mounted on the mounting frame, a material cylinder mounted on the support column, a control mechanism at the bottom of the material cylinder, the control mechanism comprising a rotating sleeve, a mounting sleeve, a fixing rod, a connecting sleeve, an adapter block, a drive rod, a spiral groove, a control sleeve, a sealing sleeve, a leak hole, and a drive mechanism; the rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the material cylinder, the mounting sleeve is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the rotating sleeve, two sets of fixing rods are provided with their ends respectively connected to the material cylinder and the mounting sleeve, the connecting sleeve is mounted inside the rotating sleeve, the adapter block is mounted on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, the drive rod is movably mounted inside the connecting sleeve, the spiral groove is located on the outer wall of the drive rod, the control sleeve is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the drive rod, the sealing sleeve is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve, and the leak hole is located on the outer wall of the control sleeve.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the driving mechanism includes a gear, a mounting block, a cylinder, and a rack. The gear is mounted on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve and can convert the linear reciprocating motion of the cylinder into the rotational motion of the rotating sleeve through meshing with the rack. The mounting block is mounted on the outer wall of the support column, providing a stable support platform for the cylinder. The cylinder is mounted on the mounting block and is used to drive the rack to perform reciprocating extension and retraction motion. The rack is mounted on the extension and retraction end of the cylinder and meshes with the gear. The meshing of the gear and the rack achieves smooth force transmission and precise control of the action.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that two sets of adapter blocks are installed on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve. The two sets of adapter blocks, through their sliding engagement with the spiral groove, enable the drive rod to generate a smooth axial movement during rotation. Two sets of spiral grooves are distributed on the outer wall of the drive rod. This design provides reliable guidance for the drive rod, making its movement more precise and smooth. The two sets of adapter blocks are slidably connected to the spiral groove, and the force transmission is made more stable through the sliding engagement, while also improving the durability and fitting accuracy between components.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the control sleeve is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the sealing sleeve. This tight fit effectively prevents juice leakage during the filling process and ensures that the opening and closing action of the leak hole is flexible and has good sealing performance, thereby improving the hygiene level and filling accuracy of the filling process.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the leakage holes are arranged in multiple groups distributed on the outer wall of the control sleeve. This multi-group distribution design can evenly distribute the juice, improve the uniformity of liquid diversion and the stability of discharge during the filling process, and also improve the efficiency and consistency when multiple containers are filled at the same time.

[0012] The present invention is further provided that a guide rod is installed at the bottom end of the control sleeve. The guide rod provides effective guidance and support for the up and down sliding of the control sleeve. Multiple sets of guide rods are provided and slidably connected to the sealing sleeve. The design of multiple sets of guide rods enhances the stability of the movement of the control sleeve and avoids deviation or jamming during high-speed filling, thereby ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the filling process.

[0013] This utility model is further configured such that the mounting frame is equipped with a segmentation mechanism. The segmentation mechanism enables precise positioning and segmented conveying of the container. The segmentation mechanism includes a support frame, a drive shaft, a motor, a reducer, segmenting wheels, a shaft seat, a turntable, a central rod, and a segmenting disc. Two sets of support frames are mounted on the mounting frame, providing stable support for the drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the two sets of support frames and drives the turntable to rotate through linkage with the segmenting wheels. The motor is mounted on the mounting frame, serving as the power source for the entire segmentation mechanism and providing stable driving force. The reducer is mounted on the mounting frame, with its two ends connected to the motor output and the drive shaft, respectively. Smooth and efficient rotation is achieved by reducing the motor speed. The dividing wheel is mounted on the outer wall of the drive shaft and contacts the drive wheel to transmit power to the turntable. The shaft seat is mounted on the top surface of the mounting frame to fix the central support of the turntable. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the shaft seat, enabling the periodic dividing motion of the container. The drive wheel is provided with multiple sets of rotatable mounted on the bottom surface of the turntable and in contact with the outer side of the dividing wheel. The cooperation of multiple sets of drive wheels makes the dividing action more stable and uniform. The central rod is mounted on the top surface of the turntable and rotatably connected to the shaft seat, providing the supporting axis for the rotation of the dividing disc. The dividing disc is mounted on the outer wall of the central rod and achieves synchronous rotation by connecting with the central rod.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the dividing plate is provided with a placement groove, and the placement groove is provided in multiple sets. The design of multiple sets of placement grooves can stabilize the positioning of the container during the dividing process, prevent the container from sliding or tipping over, improve the filling accuracy and efficiency, and at the same time, multiple sets of placement grooves can adapt to containers of different specifications, enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a filling mechanism for mulberry juice preparation, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The control mechanism can precisely adjust the opening and closing state of the orifice through the axial movement of the drive rod, thereby achieving precise control of the mulberry juice filling volume. The sliding fit between the adapter block and the spiral groove on the outer wall of the drive rod, as well as the sealing fit between the control sleeve and the sealing sleeve, make the opening and closing action of the orifice more flexible and reliable. This avoids the juice leakage or filling volume error problems caused by the non-sealing of the filling port or inaccurate control in traditional filling equipment. At the same time, the design of multiple sets of orifices improves the uniformity of discharge and ensures the accuracy and consistency of each filling.

[0018] 2. The drive mechanism drives the rack to reciprocate through a cylinder. The rack meshes with the gear on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve to achieve synchronous rotation of the rotating sleeve. The rotational motion is converted into axial motion of the drive rod through the helical sliding fit between the adapter block inside the connecting sleeve and the drive rod, thereby further driving the precise sliding of the control sleeve. This drive mechanism has a compact structure and smooth transmission, which can effectively ensure the high efficiency and stability of the control mechanism's action, so that the filling process can achieve an ideal balance between rapid switching and precise adjustment.

[0019] 3. The dividing mechanism is driven by a motor to rotate the transmission shaft, and the speed is reduced by a reducer to ensure smooth operation. At the same time, the dividing wheel and multiple sets of transmission wheels at the bottom of the turntable are used to achieve synchronous rotation of the turntable. The dividing disc drives the container to perform periodic dividing motion through its connection with the turntable, accurately delivering each container to the filling position. The design of multiple placement slots not only improves the efficiency of container conveying, but also ensures the positioning stability of the container on the dividing disc, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of the filling operation and effectively meeting the needs of large-volume mulberry juice filling.

[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to control the filling amount of mulberry juice, the cylinder 16 is mounted on the mounting block 15 and pushes the rack 17 to move through its telescopic end. The rack 17 meshes with the gear 14 mounted on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 4. The telescopic movement of the cylinder 16 will drive the gear 14 to rotate.
