Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a jam filling device for jam production. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, jam is a popular food ingredient, and the efficiency and quality of its production and filling process are crucial. With the continuous growth of market demand, higher requirements are being placed on the performance of jam filling equipment.

[0003] Existing semi-automatic filling equipment uses simple mechanical devices, such as those with measuring cups, to inject a certain amount of jam into containers. However, this method has several problems. First, many devices struggle to achieve precise quantitative filling due to the lack of an effective quantitative mechanism, often resulting in either too much or too little filling. Second, some traditional equipment uses a single-tube filling method, filling only one canister at a time, which makes the filling process time-consuming and prolongs the production cycle. Third, jam has a certain viscosity, which can easily leave residues and blockages at the pipes and outlets of the filling equipment, potentially causing equipment damage. Furthermore, some filling outlets cannot quickly cut off the jam flow, resulting in jam dripping onto the outside of the cans, making them unclean. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a jam filling device for jam production, comprising:

[0025] Workbench 1, filling device 2, the side wall of filling device 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of workbench 1, and a light sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of filling device 2; conveying device 3, the bottom end of conveying device 3 is fixedly connected to the top end of workbench 1, the conveying device 3 at the top end of workbench 1 is responsible for accurately transporting the cans to be filled to the filling position, and filling device 2 performs quantitative jam filling operation on the cans. The two work together to achieve continuous quantitative filling.

[0026] The filling device 2 includes an L-shaped frame 20. A jam collection tube 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped frame 20 via a bracket. A diversion tube 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the jam collection tube 21. A metering tube 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the diversion tube 22 away from the jam collection tube 21. The side wall of the L-shaped frame 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the workbench 1. The top of the metering tube 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped frame 20. There are two metering tubes 23. The jam in the jam collection tube 21 flows into the inner wall of the metering tube 23 from the diversion tube 22 fixedly connected to the bottom. The plastic outlet 27 at the bottom of the metering tube 23 only opens when pressure is applied, thus preventing jam from flowing out from the top of the metering tube 23 and quickly cutting off the jam flow. Subsequently, the electric push rod 26 retracts, driving the linkage plate 25 to move downward. During this process, the push block 24 slides on the inner wall of the metering tube 23 and the L-shaped frame 20. At the same time, the side wall of the push block 24 blocks the output end of the diversion tube 22 to prevent continuous feeding. As the push block 24 moves downward, the jam in the metering tube 23 is squeezed and sprayed out from the plastic outlet 27, and onto the inner wall of the filling tank, achieving quantitative filling.

[0027] A push block 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the metering tube 23. The top of the push block 24 is fixedly connected to a linkage plate 25 via a pull rod. The bottom of the linkage plate 25 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 26. The outer wall of the push block 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped frame 20. The bottom of the linkage plate 25 is in contact with the inner wall of the L-shaped frame 20. The outer wall of the electric push rod 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped frame 20. When the filling bottle is directly below the plastic outlet 27, the prepared jam enters through the feed pipe on the side wall of the jam collection tube 21. Due to the detection of the light sensor 4, the electric push rod 26 pushes the linkage plate 25 upward. During this process, because the top of the push block 24 is fixedly connected to the linkage plate 25 via a pull rod, the push block 24 moves upward on the inner wall of the metering tube 23 as the linkage plate 25 moves, until the push block 24 moves above the feed port of the metering tube 23.

[0028] A plastic outlet 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the metering tube 23. The plastic outlet 27 sprays the jam inside the metering tube 23 out through the sliding of the pusher block 24.

[0029] The conveying device 3 includes a conveying component 30, with a load-bearing block 31 slidably connected to the inner wall of the conveying component 30. The bottom end of the conveying component 30 is fixedly connected to the top end of the workbench 1, and the bottom end of the load-bearing block 31 is fixedly connected to the top end of the workbench 1. The conveying component 30 of the conveying device 3 conveys the filling bottle to the outlet of the filling device 2 through the operation of the servo motor. During this process, the light sensor 4 detects that the filling bottle has moved to the bottom of the filling device 2, causing the conveying component 30 to stop rotating. Because the load-bearing block 31 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the conveying component 30, the filling bottle to be filled and the filling bottle after filling can be smoothly conveyed on the conveying component 30.

[0030] In use, the conveying device 3 at the top of the workbench 1 is responsible for accurately transporting the jars to be filled to the filling position, while the filling device 2 performs a quantitative jam filling operation on the jars. The two work together to achieve continuous quantitative filling.

[0031] First, the conveying component 30 of the conveying device 3 conveys the filling bottle to the outlet of the filling device 2 through the operation of the servo motor. During this process, the light sensor 4 detects that the filling bottle has moved to the bottom of the filling device 2, causing the conveying component 30 to stop rotating. Because the inner wall of the conveying component 30 is slidably connected with the load-bearing block 31, the filling bottle to be filled and the filling bottle after filling can be smoothly conveyed on the conveying component 30.

[0032] When the filling bottle is positioned directly below the plastic outlet 27, the prepared jam enters through the feed pipe on the side wall of the jam collection tube 21. Due to the detection by the light sensor 4, the electric push rod 26 pushes the linkage plate 25 upward. During this process, because the top of the push block 24 is fixedly connected to the linkage plate 25 by the pull rod, the push block 24 moves upward on the inner wall of the metering tube 23 as the linkage plate 25 moves, until the push block 24 moves above the feed inlet of the metering tube 23.

[0033] Jam in the jam collection tube 21 flows into the inner wall of the metering tube 23 from the diversion tube 22 fixedly connected to the bottom. Since the plastic outlet 27 at the bottom of the metering tube 23 only opens when under pressure, it can prevent jam from flowing out from the top of the metering tube 23 and quickly cut off the jam flow. Then the electric push rod 26 retracts, driving the linkage plate 25 to move downward. During this process, the push block 24 slides on the inner wall of the metering tube 23 and the L-shaped frame 20. At the same time, the side wall of the push block 24 blocks the output end of the diversion tube 22 to prevent continuous feeding. During the downward movement of the push block 24, the jam in the metering tube 23 is squeezed and sprayed out from the plastic outlet 27, and metered filling is achieved on the inner wall of the filling tank.

[0034] After filling is completed, the conveyor 3 moves the filled can out of the filling area and moves the can to be filled to below the plastic outlet 27 for the next filling.
