Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of apple cider vinegar beverage filling technology, and specifically relates to a filling machine for filling apple cider vinegar beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Apple cider vinegar is a beverage made by fermenting apple juice and then diluting it with other ingredients, and it is not a kitchen condiment. The combination of apple cider vinegar and apple juice creates a sweet and sour flavor that balances the raw vinegar taste with the sweet aroma of fruit juice, making it very refreshing. When filling apple cider vinegar beverages, the filling machine needs to agitate the mixture of apple cider vinegar and apple juice inside the machine; however, existing apple cider vinegar filling machines have relatively low agitation efficiency.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN215156093U discloses a quantitative dispensing control device for apple cider vinegar beverage filling, including a storage cylinder. A round cover is installed on the top of the storage cylinder, and a motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the round cover. A round rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the motor. The round rod passes through the bottom of the round cover and extends into the interior of the storage cylinder. Several connecting rods are evenly fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the bottom of the round rod, and several stirring rods are fixedly arranged at the bottom of each connecting rod.

[0004] The above-described method uses a motor to rotate a cylindrical rod, which in turn drives a stirring rod via a connecting rod, thus agitating the mixture within the storage container. This not only improves the mixing effect of the apple cider vinegar and apple juice but also prevents internal sediment from settling. However, the rotation pattern of the stirring rod within the storage container is relatively simple, and the liquid flow within the container is highly predictable, resulting in low agitation efficiency and certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a filling machine for apple cider vinegar beverage filling.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A filling machine for apple cider vinegar beverage includes a filling tank. A first gear is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the top of the filling tank. A drive mechanism for driving the first gear to rotate is provided inside the filling tank. Several stirring rods are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the first gear, and the stirring rods are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the first gear. Several mounting grooves are formed in each stirring rod. A first shaft and a second shaft are rotatably mounted in each mounting groove in a horizontal direction. The first shaft is driven by the stirring rod through a transmission component. A first incomplete bevel gear is fixedly mounted at one end of the first shaft located in the mounting groove. A second incomplete bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the second shaft located in the mounting groove. The second incomplete bevel gear meshes with the first incomplete bevel gear. A torsion spring is provided between the stirring rod and the second shaft. Stirring blades are fixedly mounted at both ends of the second shaft located outside the mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the filling tank. The output shaft of the motor extends rotatably into the interior of the filling tank and is coaxially fixedly mounted with a second gear, which meshes with the first gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission component includes a long rod, which is fixedly installed vertically inside the filling tank and is coaxial with the first gear; a plurality of first conical wheels are fixedly installed vertically on the outer surface of the long rod, and the plurality of first conical wheels are evenly distributed; a second conical wheel is coaxially fixedly installed at one end of each first shaft located outside the mounting groove, and the plurality of second conical wheels on each stirring rod correspond one-to-one with the plurality of first conical wheels on the long rod, and the second conical wheel on each stirring rod meshes with the corresponding first conical wheel and always maintains a meshing state.

[0010] Furthermore, the filling tank has a feed inlet on its side wall and a filling outlet on its bottom.

[0011] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] During the mixing process, the stirring blades automatically oscillate back and forth as the driving mechanism drives the stirring rod to rotate via the first gear. This results in more diverse stirring methods and higher stirring efficiency, making the flow of the mixed liquid in the filling tank more turbulent. This improves the mixing effect of apple cider vinegar and apple juice, thereby ensuring filling quality during filling. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A filling machine for apple cider vinegar beverage includes a filling tank 1, a feed inlet 2 is opened on the side wall of the filling tank 1, a filling port 4 is opened at the bottom of the filling tank 1, a valve (not shown in the figure) is built into the filling port 4, a first gear 11 is rotatably arranged on the top inner wall of the filling tank 1, and a drive mechanism for driving the first gear 11 to rotate is provided on the filling tank 1.

[0022] The drive mechanism includes a motor 5, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the filling tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 5 extends rotatably into the interior of the filling tank 1 and is coaxially fixedly provided with a second gear 12, which meshes with the first gear 11.

[0023] Several stirring rods 7 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first gear 11, and the stirring rods 7 are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the first gear 11. When the motor 5 is started, the output shaft of the motor 5 drives the second gear 12 to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 11 to rotate, so that the stirring rods 7 rotate around the central axis of the first gear 11, realizing the stirring operation inside the filling tank 1.

[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of stirring rods 7 is preferably three, and the bottom of the stirring rods 7 does not contact the bottom of the filling tank 1. To improve the stability of the stirring rods 7 when rotating, in this embodiment, a limiting post (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the bottom of the stirring rods 7, and an annular limiting groove (not shown in the figure) can be opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the filling tank 1 for the limiting post to slide, so that the limiting post is limited and slidably disposed in the annular limiting groove.

[0025] Each stirring rod 7 has several mounting slots 701 inside. Within each mounting slot 701, a first shaft 3 and a second shaft 15 are rotatably mounted in a horizontal direction. The axis of the first shaft 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the second shaft 15. A first incomplete bevel gear 13 is fixedly mounted at one end of the first shaft 3 within the mounting slot 701. A second incomplete bevel gear 14 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the second shaft 15 within the mounting slot 701. The second incomplete bevel gear 14 and the first incomplete bevel gear 13 engage in contact-type transmission.

[0026] The first shaft 3, located outside the mounting groove 701, is connected to the stirring rod 7 via a transmission component. Both ends of the second shaft 15, located outside the mounting groove 701, are fixedly fitted with stirring blades 6. Additionally, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided between the second shaft 15 and the stirring rod 7, with one end fixedly connected to the second shaft 15 and the other end fixedly connected to the stirring rod 7.

[0027] The transmission component includes a long rod 10, which is fixedly installed vertically inside the filling tank 1. The long rod 10 is coaxial with the first gear 11. The top of the long rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the filling tank 1, and the bottom of the long rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the filling tank 1. Several first conical wheels 9 are fixedly installed vertically on the outer surface of the long rod 10. The several first conical wheels 9 are evenly distributed. A second conical wheel 8 is coaxially fixedly installed at one end of each first shaft 3 outside the mounting groove 701.

[0028] Each of the second conical wheels 8 on each stirring rod 7 corresponds one-to-one with a number of first conical wheels 9 on the long rod 10. Each of the second conical wheels 8 on each stirring rod 7 is engaged with the corresponding first conical wheel 9 and always remains engaged.

[0029] During the rotation of the stirring rod 7 around the central axis of the first gear 11, since the first bevel gear 9 is fixed, the second bevel wheel 8 will rotate with the cooperation of the first bevel wheel 9, causing the first shaft 3 to rotate around its own central axis, thereby driving the first incomplete bevel gear 13 to rotate.

[0030] During the rotation of the first incomplete bevel gear 13, it contacts and meshes with the second incomplete bevel gear 14, causing the second incomplete bevel gear 14 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the stirring blade 6 to rotate via the second shaft 15. During this process, the torsion spring deforms. When the first incomplete bevel gear 13 disengages from the second incomplete bevel gear 14, the second shaft 15 returns to its original position under the elastic action of the torsion spring, causing the stirring blade 6 to oscillate reciprocally. This improves the stirring efficiency, makes the flow of the mixed liquid in the filling tank 1 more turbulent, enhances the mixing effect of apple cider vinegar and apple juice, and ensures the filling quality during bottling.

[0031] Working principle: Apple cider vinegar and apple juice are injected into the filling tank 1 through the feed inlet 2. The motor 5 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 5 drives the second gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 11 to rotate, so that several stirring rods 7 rotate around the central axis of the first gear 11, thereby realizing the stirring operation inside the filling tank 1.

[0032] At the same time, as the stirring rod 7 rotates around the central axis of the first gear 11, the second conical wheel 8 will rotate with the cooperation of the first conical wheel 9, causing the first shaft 3 to rotate around its own central axis, thereby driving the first incomplete bevel gear 13 to rotate.

[0033] During the rotation of the first incomplete bevel gear 13, it will contact and mesh with the second incomplete bevel gear 14, causing the second incomplete bevel gear 14 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blade 6 to rotate through the second shaft 15. During this process, the torsion spring deforms.

[0034] When the first incomplete bevel gear 13 and the second incomplete bevel gear 14 disengage, the second shaft 15 will reset under the elastic action of the torsion spring, causing the stirring blade 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the reciprocating oscillation of the stirring blade 6, which improves the stirring efficiency and makes the flow of the mixed liquid in the filling tank 1 more turbulent, thereby improving the mixing effect of apple cider vinegar and apple juice, and thus ensuring the filling quality during filling.

[0035] Then, place the filling container into the filling port 4 and wait for filling.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
