Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery technology, and in particular to a linear tracking filling and sealing integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their small footprint, integrated filling and capping machines are increasingly favored by the market. Currently, linear integrated filling and capping machines have low output, cumbersome adjustment procedures when switching production specifications, and require high levels of operator expertise. Rotary integrated filling and capping machines, on the other hand, require different switching components for different packaging materials, resulting in high costs, large footprint, and long cleaning times. Chinese invention application CN118047340A discloses a fully automatic filling, capping, and demolding system, including a touchscreen control system, a fully automatic conveyor line, a bottle outlet, and a fully automatic following filling machine, a cap pre-spinning machine, and an automatic capping machine arranged sequentially along the conveyor line. The material hopper and injection section, the filling section and injection section, and the material hopper and cleaning / discharging section of the fully automatic following filling machine are all connected by quick-release pipe structures, facilitating rapid switching during specification changes and cleaning. Simultaneously, the filling section can move horizontally and vertically, and its position can be automatically adjusted by the touchscreen control system, enabling rapid production changeovers.

[0003] When switching between specifications, the above-mentioned filling and filling integrated machine needs to be stopped first. Then, the cleaning and discharging section is first assembled and connected to the structure to be cleaned (such as the material box, injection section and filling section) through the quick-release connection structure. Then the equipment is started to perform automatic cleaning. Compared with the existing technology, although it improves the production change efficiency to a certain extent, it still requires manual assistance and machine stoppage, which is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a linear tracking rotary cleaning machine that can achieve offline automatic cyclic cleaning without shutting down the entire production line, thus achieving almost seamless transitions between production lines and greatly improving overall line efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is:

[0006] A linear tracking filling and capping machine includes a bottle conveying section and a bottle separating section, a filling section, and a capping section arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. The filling section includes a fixed filling body and a following filling assembly connected to the filling body. The following filling assembly is movable in both the vertical direction and the bottle conveying direction and includes multiple filling heads arranged in a straight line. A cleaning tank is provided within the stroke range of the filling assembly. A cleaning assembly is detachably connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank through a pipe assembly. The cleaning assembly is a circulating cleaning pump or a cleaning trolley equipped with a cleaning pump. The cleaning assembly is detachably connected to the filling body through a pipe assembly. The filling head is adapted to be inserted into the cleaning tank and forms a circulating cleaning loop with the filling body under the action of the cleaning assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a machine frame, with both the filling section and the capping section disposed within the machine frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a translation mechanism located in front of the filling body is fixedly mounted on the frame, a lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the output end of the translation mechanism, a horizontal bar is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism along the conveying direction, and the filling head is mounted on the horizontal bar.

[0009] Furthermore, a quick-locking block is connected between the filling head and the crossbar, and the crossbar has graduations along its length.

[0010] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixedly mounted on the translation mechanism, and a moving block is slidably connected between the lifting mechanism and the reinforcing plate. The moving block is fixedly connected to the output end of the translation mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, a base plate is fixedly connected to the movable block, and a liftable bottle-holding assembly is provided on the base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly mounted on the base plate, and symmetrical lead screw assemblies are provided at both ends for vertical rotation on both sides of the lifting mechanism. The lead screw end of the lead screw assembly is connected to the output end of the first motor by chain drive, and a horizontally set cross plate is fixedly connected to the nut end. The bottle clamping assembly is installed on the cross plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottle-clamping assembly includes a front bottle-clamping plate and a rear bottle-clamping plate arranged opposite to each other, and a dual-axis cylinder fixed at both ends of the horizontal plate. The outer end of the dual-axis cylinder is provided with a guide rod arranged parallel to the piston rod. The rear end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the rear output end of the dual-axis cylinder, and the front end is fixedly connected to the front bottle-clamping plate. The rear bottle-clamping plate is slidably disposed on the guide rod and fixedly connected to the front output end of the dual-axis cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottle separator is a screw bottle separating assembly or a clamping bottle separating assembly that is detachably installed on the bottle conveying section.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a cap feeding section that can be raised and lowered. The capping section includes multiple independently controlled and raised and lowered follow-up capping machines. The cap feeding section is connected to three follow-up capping machines respectively through the cap feeding section. Below the capping section is a bottle clamping assembly installed on the bottle conveying section. The bottle clamping assembly is adapted to clamp the bottle when the bottle is capped.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) By setting up a cleaning component, when production needs to be changed, the previous batch of filling material in the filling body is first emptied, the filling head is moved so that it is inserted into the cleaning tank, and external cleaning material (such as clean water, detergent, etc.) is connected through the circulating cleaning pump or cleaning material is added to the cleaning trolley. Under the action of the cleaning pump, the cleaning material is sucked into the filling body, forming a cleaning loop with the filling head and the cleaning tank, realizing offline automatic circulating cleaning without stopping the entire line, achieving almost seamless connection of production change, greatly improving the efficiency of the entire line. The cleaning trolley can be detached from the whole machine, making it flexible to use and easy to dump the cleaning material. At the same time, multiple machines can share the same equipment, saving costs.

[0018] (2) By setting up the machine frame, this utility model keeps the filling and capping process in a relatively clean environment, reducing the risk of contamination and avoiding the volatilization of the filling material before capping.

[0019] (3) This utility model uses a translation mechanism to drive the lifting mechanism to move horizontally, and then the lifting mechanism drives the filling head installed on the crossbar to rise and fall, thereby achieving follow-up filling, with a simple structure.

[0020] (4) This utility model achieves an adjustable connection between the filling head and the crossbar through a quick locking block, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the filling heads and meets the filling needs of bottles of different sizes. At the same time, the crossbar is equipped with a scale as a reference to ensure the accuracy of the distance adjustment between the filling heads.

[0021] (5) By adding a reinforcing plate, this utility model provides support for the lifting mechanism and improves the structural stability of the following filling process.

[0022] (6) This utility model sets up a liftable bottle clamping component that moves synchronously with the filling head, thereby limiting the bottle body below and further improving the stability of the filling process.

[0023] (7) This utility model drives the screw of the first motor to rotate, thereby driving the nut on it to rise and fall, thus realizing the lifting and lowering of the bottle clamping assembly installed on the horizontal plate. This allows the bottle to be lowered during filling to limit the bottle body, and to rise during bottle conveying without interfering with the bottle conveying. At the same time, it can be directly adjusted when switching bottle specifications, making it convenient for production change.

[0024] (8) This utility model ingeniously utilizes the combination of a dual-axis cylinder and a guide rod to realize the opening and closing motion between two bottle-holding plates that are set opposite to each other.

[0025] (9) The bottle separator of this utility model can be detachably installed on the bottle conveying part, which makes it easy to change different specifications and meet the bottle separation needs of different bottles.

[0026] (10) This utility model is equipped with a cap feeding machine and a cap feeding unit for automatic cap feeding, and is equipped with multiple independently operating follow-type capping machines to improve capping efficiency. Both the cap feeding machine and the capping machine can be raised and lowered to achieve rapid adjustment during production change. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] (Example 1)

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3The linear tracking filling and capping machine shown includes a frame 1, a bottle conveying section 2 horizontally penetrating the frame 1, and a bottle separator 3, a filling section 4, and a capping section 5 arranged sequentially along the bottle conveying direction. The bottle separator 3 is located outside the frame 1 and mounted on the bottle conveying section 2, such as a screw bottle separator or clamping bottle separator commonly used in existing structures. This embodiment uses a screw bottle separator, which has a compact and simple structure. The filling section 4 and the capping section 5 are both located inside the frame 1, keeping the bottles in a relatively clean environment during the filling and capping process, reducing the risk of contamination, and preventing the volatilization of the filling material before capping. A cap feeding section 6 is located on the right side of the frame 1, and a cap delivery section 7 connects the cap feeding section 6 and the capping section 5, thereby automatically conveying the bottle caps to the capping section 5 for capping.

[0036] Specifically, the filling unit 4 includes a fixedly mounted filling body 4-1 and a following filling assembly connected to the filling body 4-1. The following filling assembly includes multiple filling heads 4-2 arranged in a straight line. A translation mechanism 4-3 located in front of the filling body 4-1 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. A lifting mechanism 4-4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the translation mechanism 4-3. A horizontal bar 4-5 arranged horizontally along the conveying direction is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism 4-4. The filling heads 4-2 are all mounted on the horizontal bar 4-5, thereby enabling them to move along the vertical direction and the bottle conveying direction with the filling assembly. The translation mechanism 4-3 and the lifting mechanism 4-4 can adopt a common linear module structure or a structure composed of a motor and a synchronous belt / chain, which will not be described in detail here. To improve structural stability, a reinforcing plate 4-6 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the translation mechanism 4-3 in this embodiment. A moving block 4-7 is slidably connected between the lifting mechanism 4-4 and the reinforcing plate 4-6. The moving block 4-7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the translation mechanism 4-3, and the reinforcing plate 4-6 provides support for the lifting mechanism 4-4.

[0037] To improve the accuracy of the following filling, this embodiment also includes a bottle clamping assembly 4-8. Specifically, a base plate 4-9 is fixedly connected to the moving block 4-7, and a first motor 4-10 is fixedly mounted on the base plate. Screw assemblies 4-11 are symmetrically located on both sides of the lifting mechanism 4-4 and rotate vertically at both ends. The screw end of the screw assembly 4-11 is connected to the output end of the first motor 4-10 via chain drive, and a horizontally arranged cross plate 4-12 is fixedly connected to the nut end. The bottle-locking assembly 4-8 includes a front bottle-locking plate 4-8-1 and a rear bottle-locking plate 4-8-2 arranged opposite to each other, and a dual-axis cylinder 4-8-3 fixed to both ends of a horizontal plate 4-12. The outer end of the dual-axis cylinder 4-8-3 is provided with a guide rod 4-8-4 arranged parallel to the piston rod. The rear end of the guide rod 4-8-4 is fixedly connected to the rear output end of the dual-axis cylinder 4-8-3, and the front end is fixedly connected to the front bottle-locking plate 4-8-1. The rear bottle-locking plate 4-8-2 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 4-8-4 and fixedly connected to the front output end of the dual-axis cylinder 4-8-3. The combination of the dual-axis cylinder 4-8-3 and the guide rod 4-8-4 enables the opening and closing movement between the two oppositely arranged bottle-locking plates. The first motor 4-10 drives the lead screw of the lead screw assembly 4-11 to rotate, which in turn drives the nut on it to rise and fall, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the bottle clamping assembly 4-8 installed on the horizontal plate 4-12. This allows the bottle to be lowered during filling to limit the bottle, and to rise during bottle conveying without interfering with the bottle conveying.

[0038] To improve efficiency, the filling head 4-2 in this embodiment has twelve parts, and the capping section 5 includes three independently controlled follow-up capping machines 5-1. The cap feeding section 7 has three outlets, which are respectively connected to the three follow-up capping machines 5-1. To improve capping stability, a bottle clamping assembly 8 is installed on the bottle conveying section 2 below the capping section 5. The bottle clamping assembly 8 is a conventional design used to clamp the bottle body when capping, and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] To achieve high-speed changeover, a quick-locking block 4-13 is connected between the filling head 4-2 and the crossbar 4-5 in this embodiment, enabling adjustable installation. The crossbar 4-5 has graduations along its length for precise adjustment of the spacing between adjacent filling heads. Correspondingly, the bottle-holding plate of the bottle-holding assembly 4-8 is connected to the corresponding structure with screws for easy replacement. The bottle separator 3 is also detachably mounted on the bottle conveying section 2. Both the capping section 6 and the capping section 5 utilize screw jacks for adjustable height, allowing for one-button switching via the control panel during changeovers, improving efficiency. Furthermore, a cleaning tank 9 is fixed within the frame 1 within the stroke range of the following filling assembly. A cleaning assembly 10 is detachably connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 9 via a pipe assembly. The cleaning assembly is either a circulating cleaning pump or a cleaning trolley equipped with a cleaning pump; this embodiment uses a cleaning trolley equipped with a cleaning pump. The cleaning assembly 10 is detachably connected to the filling body via a pipe assembly. When it is necessary to change the filling material, first empty the previous batch of filling material from the filling body, move the filling head so that it is inserted into the cleaning tank, and add cleaning material (such as clean water, detergent, etc.) into the cleaning trolley. Under the action of the cleaning pump, the cleaning material is sucked into the filling body, forming a cleaning loop with the filling head and the cleaning tank, realizing offline automatic circulation cleaning without stopping the entire line. It achieves almost seamless connection of production changeover, greatly improving the efficiency of the entire production line changeover. The cleaning trolley can be detached from the whole machine, making it flexible to use and easy to dump the cleaning material. At the same time, multiple machines can be shared, saving costs.

[0040] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
