[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] With reference to Figures 1-7 In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the filling device is a small product in a packaging machine, which can be divided into liquid filling machines, paste filling machines, powder filling machines and granular filling machines from the perspective of material packaging. From the degree of automation of production, it can be divided into semi-automatic filling machines and fully automatic filling production lines.

[0037] The filling device is mainly used for filling materials into specific containers. In the food industry, for example, seasonings can be filled into glass containers; in daily necessities, for example, makeup remover oil can be filled into plastic bottles, etc., which are not limited here and are determined according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the filling of seasonings into glass products in the food industry is taken as an example for specific description.

[0038] Specifically, the filling device comprises a frame body 1, a storage mechanism 2 and a filling mechanism 3 installed on the frame body 1. The storage mechanism 2 is used for storing materials, which are flow-like objects containing edible oil. In the height direction of the frame body 1 (the arrow a in the figure points to), the filling mechanism 3 is located below the storage mechanism 2. The purpose of such arrangement is that the materials in the storage mechanism 2 can flow towards the filling mechanism 3 under the action of their own gravity, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0039] The storage mechanism 2 comprises a hopper 21 with a bottom plate 211, an extrusion assembly 22 arranged inside the hopper 21, and a pressing assembly 23 arranged on both sides of the hopper 21. In this embodiment, the structure of the extrusion assembly 22 is the same as that of the pressing assembly 23, both of which comprise a linear actuator and a discharge head connected to the linear actuator, which will not be described herein. The bottom plate 211 is provided with a discharge port 212, through which the material can flow out of the hopper 21.

[0040] In the height direction of the frame body 1, the lateral cross section of the hopper 21 is funnel-shaped, and the material can flow along the funnel-shaped hopper 21. During the flow of the material to the discharge port 212, the material can be gathered, thereby improving the filling efficiency.

[0041] The filling mechanism 3 comprises a material plate assembly 31 and a filling assembly 32. The filling assembly 32 is connected to the material plate assembly 31, and the material plate assembly 31 is used for sliding the bottom plate 211 of the storage mechanism 2. The filling assembly 32 comprises a dosing cylinder 322 and a filling head 321. The dosing cylinder 322 comprises a first cylinder 3222 and a second cylinder 3221 which are slidingly connected, and the filling head 321 is connected to the second cylinder 3221 and is connected to an external container to fill the material into the container.

[0042] The material plate assembly 31 comprises a first material plate 311 which is slidingly arranged on the bottom plate 211. The first material plate 311 is provided with a filling port 3112, and the filling assembly 32 is in communication with the filling port 3112. During the sliding of the first material plate 311 on the bottom plate 211, the discharge port 212 on the bottom plate 211 is connected to the filling port 3112 on the first material plate 311, and then the material is filled into the filling assembly 32 through the filling port 3112.

[0043] In order to improve the filling efficiency, the filling port 3112 on the first material plate 311 is provided with at least two, and the at least two filling ports 3112 are located on both sides of the storage mechanism 2 along the horizontal direction. The purpose of this arrangement is that when the first material plate 311 slides relative to the bottom plate 211, no matter whether the first material plate 311 slides to the left side of the bottom plate 211 or the right side of the bottom plate 211, there is always a filling port 3112 connected to the discharge port 212 on the bottom plate 211 for communication, thereby further improving the filling efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the filling port 3112 is provided with two rows, and the two rows of filling ports 3112 are respectively located on both sides of the hopper 21. Correspondingly, the filling assembly 32 is provided with two groups, and each group of the filling assembly 32 is arranged one-to-one corresponding to each row of the filling port 3112. In other embodiments, the number of the filling port 3112 can also be other, such as three rows, four rows, etc., which will not be specifically limited herein and will be determined according to the actual situation. Correspondingly, the number of the filling assembly 32 also changes with the number of the filling port 3112.

[0045] The material plate assembly 31 further comprises a second material plate, which is located below the first material plate 311, and the inlet of the filling assembly 32 penetrates the second material plate to be fixedly connected with the filling port 3112 on the first material plate 311. As known from the foregoing, the filling assembly 32 comprises a dosing cylinder 322 and a filling head 321, the dosing cylinder 322 comprises a first cylinder 3222 and a second cylinder 3221, wherein the first cylinder 3222 is connected with the filling port 3112 of the first material plate 311, the second cylinder 3221 is fixedly connected with the second material plate, and the second cylinder 3221 at least partially penetrates the second cylinder 3221. It can be seen that the second material plate moves synchronously with the first material plate 311 in the moving process, and the filling assembly 32 as a whole moves with the first material plate 311 as a whole, so as to realize the movement of the filling mechanism 3 relative to the storage mechanism 2 as a whole.

[0046] As known from the foregoing, the storage mechanism 2 comprises a hopper 21 with a bottom plate 211, an extruding assembly 22 arranged on the inner side of the hopper 21, and a pressing assembly 23 arranged on both sides of the hopper 21. When the hopper 21 moves to one of the columns of filling ports 3112, one set of pressing assemblies 23 corresponds to the position of the other column of filling ports 3112. The purpose of such arrangement is that when one of the columns of filling ports 3112 corresponds to the discharge port 212 and communicates to perform the filling work, the filling assembly 32 connected with the other column of filling ports 3112 already stores the material. At this time, the pressing assembly 23 is pressed to promote the first cylinder 3222 to move relative to the second cylinder 3221 along the height direction, so as to make the material in the dosing cylinder 322 flow to the filling head 321 to realize the filling, so that the filling work and the storage work are synchronized to further improve the filling efficiency.

[0047] The implementation mode of the movement of the filling mechanism 3 relative to the storage mechanism 2 as a whole comprises manually pushing the filling mechanism 3 to move relative to the storage mechanism 2, and the driving mechanism 4 can also be arranged to drive the first material plate 311 to move. In the embodiment, in order to ensure the moving speed and the moving precision, and improve the filling efficiency, the filling device further comprises a driving mechanism 4, which is connected with the material plate assembly 31 and is adapted to drive the material plate assembly 31 to move relative to the storage mechanism 2 along the horizontal direction, so that the discharge port 212 corresponds to at least one of the filling ports 3112, and the material in the storage mechanism 2 can enter the filling assembly 32 along the discharge port 212 and the filling port 3112.

[0048] Specifically, the driving mechanism 4 is connected with the second material plate, so that when the driving mechanism 4 drives the second material plate to move in the horizontal direction, the first material plate 311 is simultaneously driven to move relative to the bottom plate 211. The driving mechanism 4 comprises a driving motor 41, a rotating shaft 42 connected with the driving motor 41, a first gear 43 connected with the rotating shaft 42, a second gear 44 connected with the first gear 43 through a chain 45, and the driving motor 41 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, so as to drive the first gear 43, the second gear 44 and the chain 45 to rotate. The first gear 43 and the second gear 44 are distributed on both sides of the second material plate, and the second material plate is connected with the chain 45 through a connecting piece 5, so that the chain 45 can drive the second material plate to translate in the horizontal direction during the rotation process.

[0049] The material plate assembly 31 has a cleanliness requirement and needs to reach an edible level, so the material overflowing on the material plate assembly 31 can be recycled. However, the material plate assembly 31 in the prior art is generally flat and is not provided with a shielding part, so that the material overflowing on the material plate assembly 31 continues to flow until it drops on other components. However, the cleanliness requirement of the other components is relatively low, which not only causes waste but also pollutes the other components.

[0050] In order to solve the above technical problems, the first material plate 311 in the embodiment has a containing part 3113 arranged towards the material storage mechanism 2, and the containing part 3113 is adapted to store the material overflowing from the material outlet 212. When the material overflows onto the first material plate 311, it can be stored in the containing part 3113, so as to prevent the material in the containing part 3113 from dropping outside the first material plate 311.

[0051] Specifically, the first material plate 311 comprises a body part 3114 and an anti-overflow part 3115 connected with the body part 3114 to enclose the containing part 3113 with the body part 3114, and the filling port 3112 is arranged on the body part 3114, and the anti-overflow part 3115 is located outside the filling port 3112. The height h1 of the anti-overflow part 3115 is greater than or equal to half of the sum of the height h1 of the anti-overflow part 3115 and the height h2 of the body part 3114, or the height h1 of the anti-overflow part 3115 is greater than or equal to half of the height h2 of the body part 3114. The advantage of such arrangement is that it can effectively prevent the material in the containing part 3113 from dropping outside the containing part 3113, and further reduce the pollution degree and the waste degree.

[0052] In order to ensure the containing space of the containing part 3113, the body part 3114 has an edge, and the bottom end of the anti-overflow part 3115 is connected with the edge. That is, the anti-overflow part 3115 is arranged on the outer side of the body, so that the body part 3114 and the anti-overflow part 3115 enclose the containing part 3113 with the maximum space.

[0053] In order to simplify the production process, the body part 3114 and the anti-overflow part 3115 are integrally formed, and the sealing and fastening between the body part 3114 and the anti-overflow part 3115 are also strengthened.

[0054] The filling device also comprises a recycling mechanism 6 connected to the accommodating part 3113 and the storage mechanism 2, so as to transport the material in the accommodating part 3113 into the storage mechanism 2. Correspondingly, the body part 3114 is provided with a communication port 3111 arranged close to the anti-overflow part 3115. Since the anti-overflow part 3115 is arranged at the edge of the body part 3114, when the material in the accommodating part 3113 accumulates a lot, the material gradually flows to the edge of the body part 3114, and then flows into the hopper 21 from the communication port 3111 arranged close to the anti-overflow part 3115.

[0055] The recycling mechanism 6 comprises a connecting pipe connected to the storage mechanism 2 and the communication port 3111, and the end of the connecting pipe connected to the communication port 3111 is located below the communication port 3111 along the height direction of the frame body 1. The purpose of this arrangement is to enable the material to flow into the connecting pipe under the action of gravity. Optionally, the recycling mechanism 6 also comprises a liquid pump, and the material can flow into the hopper 21 through the connecting pipe under the action of the liquid pump.

[0056] The top of the end of the connecting pipe connected to the communication port 3111 is located below the top of the communication port 3111, or the top of the end of the connecting pipe connected to the communication port 3111 is flush with the top of the communication port 3111, which can enable the material in the accommodating part 3113 to enter the communication port 3111 more quickly, thereby improving the recycling efficiency of the material.

[0057] In summary, the filling mechanism 3 of the filling device comprises a material plate assembly 31 and a filling assembly 32. The material plate assembly 31 comprises a first material plate 311 having at least two filling ports 3112, and the filling assembly 32 is in communication with the filling ports 3112. The first material plate 311 can be moved relative to the bottom plate 211 of the storage assembly under the drive of the driving assembly, so that the discharge port 212 on the bottom plate 211 is docked with at least one of the filling ports 3112, and the material in the storage mechanism 2 enters the filling assembly 32 from the discharge port 212 and the filling port 3112. The first material plate 311 has an accommodating part 3113 arranged towards the storage mechanism 2, which is adapted to store the material overflowing from the discharge port 212, so as to prevent the material from flowing and dripping from the first material plate 311 to other components of the filling device, thereby avoiding pollution to other components. Meanwhile, the recycling mechanism 6 is arranged, which is connected to the accommodating part 3113 and the storage mechanism 2, so as to transport the material in the accommodating part 3113 into the storage mechanism 2, thereby recycling the uncontaminated material in the accommodating part 3113, avoiding waste of the material, and improving the production efficiency.
