Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yogurt filling, and in particular to a quantitative filling device for yogurt production. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular dairy product, the precision and efficiency of the yogurt filling process directly affect product quality and production costs. Currently, yogurt production mainly uses traditional volumetric or gravity filling equipment. These types of equipment present the following technical problems in practical applications:

[0003] Traditional filling equipment relies heavily on mechanical valves or time controls to regulate flow. Existing equipment typically requires adjusting the bottle position before filling to ensure the filler is aligned with the bottle neck. Traditional filling equipment often uses simple clamping devices for container positioning, which is overly complex and difficult to adapt to fast-paced production lines. This can easily lead to misalignment between the filling nozzle and the bottle neck, causing yogurt spillage or inaccurate filling volume. Therefore, we propose a quantitative filling device for yogurt production. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem that traditional filling equipment often uses simple clamping devices to position containers, which is too complex to operate and difficult to adapt to fast-paced production lines, this utility model provides a quantitative filling device for yogurt production.

[0005] The present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a quantitative filling equipment for yogurt production, comprising a main body of equipment, the bottom of which is fixed on a support frame, a conveyor belt horizontally installed on the top of the support frame, yogurt bottles placed above the conveyor belt, a yogurt positioning mechanism provided directly above the conveyor belt, and a yogurt storage dish provided on one side of the support frame.

[0006] The yogurt positioning mechanism includes a telescopic motor, the output end of which is connected to a push rod. A connecting plate is installed at the top of the push rod, and a connecting bracket is installed at the top of the connecting plate. A positioning bracket is installed on the outer side of the connecting bracket.

[0007] Yogurt bottles are conveyed to the filling station via a conveyor belt. Once all photoelectric sensors detect the container's arrival signal simultaneously, the positioning mechanism is triggered and starts to activate. The telescopic motor drives the push rod to extend, which in turn moves the connecting bracket through the connecting plate. Multiple positioning brackets are pushed outwards to position the yogurt bottle.

[0008] The yogurt storage dish contains yogurt to be filled. One end of the conveying pipe is connected to the outside of the yogurt storage dish, and the other end of the conveying pipe is connected to a fluid control pump. The fluid control pump is installed above the mounting bracket, and the outlet of the fluid control pump is connected to one end of a metering pipe. The other end of the metering pipe is connected to the filling device.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, a silicone buffer layer is provided on the inner side of the positioning bracket. The silicone buffer layer on the inner side of the positioning bracket ensures moderate clamping force, which both secures the container and prevents damage to the bottle.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, multiple sets of positioning brackets are provided, and a positioning cavity area is formed between adjacent positioning brackets, which positions the yogurt bottle.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the fluid control pump is a servo motor-driven plunger pump. When the fluid control pump (servo motor-driven plunger pump) starts working, yogurt is drawn from the storage dish through the delivery pipe. The metering pipe ensures that the amount of yogurt drawn each time is accurate and consistent. The photoelectric sensor at the filling head monitors the filling volume in real time and stops filling when the set value is reached.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a photoelectric sensor is provided at the nozzle of the filling device to sense the amount of yogurt being filled.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, after filling is completed, the positioning bracket is reset under the action of the telescopic motor, and the conveyor belt transports the filled container to the next station, and a new batch of empty bottles enters the filling position, and the cycle begins.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model achieves rapid and accurate positioning of yogurt bottles through a mechanical positioning mechanism with multiple sets of positioning brackets working in concert, combined with a precision push rod system driven by a servo motor.

[0016] 2. This utility model achieves dual detection functions by setting a photoelectric sensor at the nozzle of the filling device: it can accurately sense the container's arrival signal and monitor the filling volume in real time. When the filling volume is detected to have reached the set value, the system immediately stops filling, avoiding the problem of inaccurate filling volume caused by traditional equipment relying on manual observation or timed control.

[0017] 3. This utility model, through the silicone buffer layer set on the inner side of the positioning bracket, not only ensures the clamping stability, but also adapts to yogurt bottles of different materials and thicknesses, effectively solving the problem that traditional rigid clamping devices are prone to bottle deformation or breakage.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please combine Figures 1-2 This embodiment proposes a quantitative filling equipment for yogurt production, including a main body 1. The bottom of the main body 1 is fixed on the equipment support 2. A conveyor belt 3 is horizontally installed on the top of the equipment support 2. Yogurt bottles 31 are placed above the conveyor belt 3. A yogurt positioning mechanism 4 is provided directly above the conveyor belt 3. A yogurt storage dish 5 is provided on one side of the equipment support 2.

[0025] The yogurt positioning mechanism 4 includes a telescopic motor 41, the output end of which is connected to a push rod 42, a connecting plate 43 is installed at the top of the push rod 42, a connecting bracket 44 is installed at the top of the connecting plate 43, and a positioning bracket 45 is installed on the outer side of the connecting bracket 44.

[0026] It should be noted that the positioning bracket 45 has a silicone buffer layer on its inner side. The silicone buffer layer on the inner side of the positioning bracket 45 ensures moderate clamping force, which both secures the container and prevents damage to the bottle.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple sets of positioning brackets 45 are provided, and a positioning cavity area is formed between adjacent positioning brackets 45. The positioning cavity positions the yogurt bottle 31. A photoelectric sensor is provided at the nozzle of the filling device 9 to sense the amount of yogurt being filled.

[0028] Specifically, the yogurt bottle 31 is transported to the filling station via the conveyor belt 3. After all the photoelectric sensors detect the container's arrival signal at the same time, the positioning mechanism 4 is triggered to start. The telescopic motor 41 drives the push rod 42 to extend, which drives the connecting bracket 44 to move through the connecting plate 43. Multiple sets of positioning brackets 45 are pushed outward, and the positioning brackets 45 position the yogurt bottle 31.

[0029] Yogurt storage dish 5 contains yogurt to be filled. One end of conveying pipe 6 is connected to the outside of yogurt storage dish 5. The other end of conveying pipe 6 is connected to fluid control pump 7. Fluid control pump 7 is installed above mounting bracket 8. One end of metering pipe 71 is connected to the outlet of fluid control pump 7. The other end of metering pipe 71 is connected to filling device 9.

[0030] Specifically, the fluid control pump 7 (a plunger pump driven by a servo motor) starts working, and yogurt is drawn from the storage dish 5 through the delivery pipe 6. The metering pipe 71 ensures that the amount of yogurt drawn each time is accurate and consistent. The photoelectric sensor at the head of the filler 9 monitors the filling volume in real time and stops filling when the set value is reached.

[0031] After filling is completed, the positioning bracket 45 is reset under the action of the telescopic motor 41, and the conveyor belt 3 transports the filled container to the next station. A new batch of empty bottles enters the filling position, and the cycle begins.

[0032] It should be noted that the fluid control pump 7 is a plunger pump driven by a servo motor.

[0033] Specific implementation steps of this utility model:

[0034] 1. Container transport and positioning stage

[0035] Yogurt bottles 31 are conveyed to the filling station via conveyor belt 3 (the spacing between adjacent yogurt bottles 31 is the same). After all photoelectric sensors detect the container's arrival signal at the same time, the positioning mechanism 4 is triggered to start. The telescopic motor 41 drives the push rod 42 to extend, which drives the connecting bracket 44 to move through the connecting plate 43. Multiple sets of positioning brackets 45 are pushed outward. The positioning brackets 45 position the yogurt bottles 31. The silicone buffer layer on the inner side of the positioning brackets 45 ensures that the clamping force is moderate, which both fixes the container and avoids damage to the bottle.

[0036] 2. Quantitative filling stage

[0037] The fluid control pump 7 (servo motor driven plunger pump) starts working, and yogurt is drawn from the storage dish 5 through the delivery pipe 6. The metering pipe 71 ensures that the amount of yogurt drawn each time is accurate and consistent. The photoelectric sensor on the head of the filler 9 monitors the filling volume in real time and stops filling when the set value is reached.

[0038] 3. Reset and Cycling Phase

[0039] After filling is completed, the positioning bracket 45 is reset under the action of the telescopic motor 41, and the conveyor belt 3 transports the filled container to the next station. A new batch of empty bottles enters the filling position, and the cycle begins.
