Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solid beverage production, specifically to a filling machine for producing plant-based solid beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Plant-based solid beverages refer to solid beverages made primarily of plant powder with the addition of appropriate food additives or auxiliary materials. They can be consumed by simply mixing with water. During production, the mixture of fruit powder and solid beverages is filled into packaging bags using a filling machine.

[0003] During the production of plant-based solid beverages, auxiliary materials such as collagen powder, sucralose, and blood orange powder are usually added to ensure their taste and nutritional value. When adding these materials, the auxiliary materials and powders are usually mixed in a certain proportion using a material mixer before the mixture is filled into bottles.

[0004] While existing filling machines can mix the auxiliary materials and plant powder relatively evenly during actual use, they cannot ensure the uniformity of the proportion of each component in the raw material discharged each time. In actual filling, there are cases where the amount of auxiliary materials added in some bags is not uniform compared with the proportion of auxiliary materials added in normal bags.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a filling machine for the production of plant-based solid beverages. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a filling machine for the production of plant-based solid beverages, which can solve the following problems:

[0007] Existing filling machines cannot adequately ensure the uniformity of the proportions of each component in the raw material discharged during each filling.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes the following technical solution:

A metering component is movably arranged inside the guide component. The guide component includes a guide frame and a supporting base plate that are fixedly connected. The metering component includes a metering cylinder and a stop block that are fixedly connected. A baffle is flipped and connected to the bottom of the metering cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the filling base is T-shaped, and the mounting platform is rectangular with two sets, which are embedded at both ends of the filling base. The guide port is trapezoidal and open. The feeding mechanism is a feeding auger mechanism with two sets arranged horizontally. The top of the auger has an inlet corresponding to the guide port, and the bottom of the inner end of the feeding mechanism has an outlet inside the filling base.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See Figure 1-4 As shown, a filling machine for producing plant-based solid beverages includes a storage component 1 and a mixing component 2. The mixing component 2 includes a filling base 3 and a mounting platform 4 that are fixedly connected. The top of the mounting platform 4 is provided with a guide port 5. A feeding mechanism 6 is embedded inside the mounting platform 4. A stirring mechanism 7 is inserted into the filling base 3. The storage component 1 includes a mounting plate 8 and storage cylinders 9 on both sides of it. The bottom end of the storage cylinder 9 is connected to a guide hopper 10. An outer frame 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the guide hopper 10. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer frame 11. Push rods 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 12. A guide component 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage cylinder 9. A metering component 14 is movably arranged inside the guide component 15. The guide component 15 includes a guide frame 16 and a supporting base plate 17 that are fixedly connected. The metering component 14 includes a metering cylinder 18 and a stop block 19 that are fixedly connected. A baffle 20 is flipped and connected to the bottom of the metering cylinder 18.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the filling base 3 is generally arranged in a "T" shape, the mounting platform 4 is arranged in two rectangular shapes and is embedded at both ends of the filling base 3, the guide port 5 is arranged in a trapezoidal shape, the feeding mechanism 6 is a feeding auger mechanism, and two sets are arranged horizontally. The top of the feeding mechanism 6 is provided with an inlet corresponding to the guide port 5. At the same time, the bottom of the inner end of the feeding mechanism 6 is provided with an outlet inside the filling base 3. The stirring mechanism 7 is vertically embedded in the center of the filling base 3. The vertically arranged stirring mechanism 7 achieves the effect of stirring and mixing the solid beverage and auxiliary materials in the filling base 3. The two sets of feeding mechanisms 6 achieve the effect of conveying the solid beverage and auxiliary materials to the filling base 3 respectively. The guide port 5 facilitates the conveying of the solid beverage and auxiliary materials in the storage component 1.

[0027] After the solid beverage and auxiliary materials in the storage component 1 are in the correct quantitative ratio, they enter the feeding mechanism 6 in the mixing component 2 through the feed port 5. The feeding mechanism 6 can prevent them from clumping. Then, they are transported to the filling station 3 through the feeding mechanism 6. At this time, the stirring mechanism 7 is started to mix the solid beverage and auxiliary materials and finally fill them.

[0028] The stirring mechanism 7 includes a drive motor and a stirring rod. By starting the drive motor, the stirring rod is driven to rotate, thereby mixing the solid beverage and the auxiliary materials.

[0029] The guide frame 16 is a rectangular semi-enclosed frame horizontally arranged, and the support base plate 17 is longitudinally connected to the bottom of the guide frame 16 in an "L" shape. The guide frame 16 is fixedly connected along the bottom opening edge of the storage cylinder 9. A sieve plate is embedded inside the metering cylinder 18. The bottom end of the metering cylinder 18 is connected to the baffle 20 by a shaft. The metering cylinder 18 and the baffle 20 are located on the support base plate 17. The stop block 19 is trapezoidal and is set at the same height as the metering cylinder 18. The top edge of the stop block 19 is provided with a sealing gasket. The guide frame 16 provides a limiting and guiding effect for the metering cylinder 18. The support base plate 17 provides support for the metering component 14. The metering cylinder 18 and the baffle 20 control the storage and discharge of materials. The stop block 19 seals the bottom opening of the storage cylinder 9.

[0030] Solid beverage and excipients are added to storage cylinder 9 and conveyed through guide hopper 10 to metering cylinder 18 for temporary storage. At this time, the solid beverage and excipients are in the same proportion. When mixing is required later, push rod 13 pushes the two sets of metering components 14 connected to it to move outward. Metering cylinder 18 slides along the inner side of guide frame 16. At the same time, stop block 19 moves to the bottom opening of storage cylinder 9 to block it. As metering cylinder 18 slides, the bottom baffle 20 loses the support of bottom plate 17 and flips downward to open. Solid beverage and excipients in metering cylinder 18 enter mixing component 2 for mixing. When solid beverage and excipients enter metering cylinder 18, the sieve plate in metering cylinder 18 simultaneously performs sieving.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
