[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application provides a sauce filling device, including a machine body 100, a rotating mechanism connected to a turntable 110; the machine body 100 is provided with a bag feeding mechanism 200, a filling mechanism 300, a cap feeding mechanism 400, a capping mechanism 500, a tilting cap detection mechanism 600, and a bag retraction mechanism 700 arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the turntable 110; the capping mechanism 500 includes a fixing frame 510, a mounting frame 520, and a capping unit 530, the fixing frame 510 is disposed on the machine body 100, the mounting frame 520 is lifted and lowered on the fixing frame 510, and the capping unit 530 includes a capper 540 and a servo motor 550, the capper 540 being rotatably mounted on the machine body 100. Mounting bracket 520, servo motor 550 connected to capper 540, servo motor 550 can detect the torque of capper 540; slanted cap detection mechanism 600 includes bracket 610 and detection element 620, bracket 610 is set on machine body 100, detection element 620 is set on bracket 610, detection element 620 is used to detect whether the cap is slanted; machine body 100 is also provided with control mechanism 800, control mechanism 800 includes controller and alarm, controller is connected to rotating mechanism, bag feeding mechanism 200, filling mechanism 300, cap feeding mechanism 400, capping mechanism 500, slanted cap detection mechanism 600 and bag retraction mechanism 700 respectively, alarm is connected to detection element 620 and controller respectively.

[0028] During operation, the controller controls the bag feeding mechanism 200 to transport the spout bag to the turntable 110, fixing the spout bag on the turntable 110. Then, the controller controls the turntable 110 to move the spout bag below the filling mechanism 300, and controls the filling mechanism 300 to fill the spout bag with sauce. Next, the controller controls the turntable 110 to move the spout bag below the cap feeding mechanism 400, and controls the cap feeding mechanism 400 to place the cap onto the opening of the spout bag. Subsequently, the controller controls the turntable 110 to move the spout bag below the capping mechanism 500, and controls the capping mechanism 500 to tighten the cap onto the spout bag. At the same time, the servo motor 550 detects... The torque of the capping device 540 is measured and a first signal is output. The controller receives the first signal and controls the servo motor 550 to continue working or stop working. Then, the controller controls the turntable 110 to move the spout bag to below the tilted cap detection mechanism 600. The detection element 620 detects whether the cap is tilted and outputs a second signal, so that the alarm receives the second signal to sound an alarm. The controller also receives the second signal to control the rotating mechanism, bag feeding mechanism 200, filling mechanism 300, cap feeding mechanism 400, capping mechanism 500 and bag ejection mechanism 700 to stop working respectively. Finally, the controller controls the bag ejection mechanism 700 to remove the spout bag from the turntable 110.

[0029] It should be noted that the controller's control method is only simple trigger control. The controller's control method is not within the scope of protection of this application and belongs to the prior art. This application mainly protects the connection relationship between various components.

[0030] The torque of the capper 540 is detected by the servo motor 550. Compared with the traditional manual sampling inspection after filling, it can realize automated inspection, improve inspection efficiency, reduce labor intensity and labor costs, and improve production efficiency. At the same time, the detection component 620 is used to detect whether the cap is tilted, so that the capping quality can be detected from multiple angles, implement quantitative inspection standards, and ensure product quality.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the capper 540 is provided with a connecting shaft 560, and a servo motor 550 is connected to the connecting shaft 560. The servo motor 550 drives the connecting shaft 560 to rotate, causing the connecting shaft 560 to drive the capper 540 to rotate. At the same time, the mounting bracket 520 descends along the fixed bracket 510, thereby realizing the capping. Further, a spring 570 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 560, and the two ends of the spring 570 abut against the mounting bracket 520 and the capper 540, respectively. By providing the spring 570, a certain buffering effect can be achieved, improving stability and reliability. Multiple sets of capping units 530 are provided, and multiple sets of capping units 530 perform capping simultaneously. By having multiple sets of capping units 530 perform capping simultaneously, the working time can be shortened and the working efficiency improved. As is easily understood, the fixed frame 510 is equipped with a cylinder 580, which is connected to the mounting frame 520. The mounting frame 520 is equipped with a guide rod 590, which slides through the fixed frame 510. The mounting frame 520 is driven to rise and fall by the cylinder 580, resulting in a simple structure and stable operation. The guide rod 590 connects the mounting frame 520 and the fixed frame 510, preventing the mounting frame 520 from shifting during the rising and falling process, thus making the rising and falling of the mounting frame 520 more stable.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 The bracket 610 is equipped with a mounting base 630, which has a channel 640 for the cap to pass through. The detection element 620 is disposed within the channel 640. By adopting the above structure, the accuracy of detection can be improved, filling quality can be guaranteed, and product quality can be improved. Specifically, the detection element 620 is a photoelectric sensor, and it is equipped with a transmitter and a receiver, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the channel 640. When the receiver cannot receive the light beam emitted by the transmitter, it will output a second signal, indicating that a tilted cap has occurred. The alarm will then sound to alert the worker. At the same time, the controller also receives the second signal and controls the rotating mechanism, bag feeding mechanism 200, filling mechanism 300, cap feeding mechanism 400, cap screwing mechanism 500, and bag retraction mechanism 700 to stop working respectively. They can only resume working after the worker removes the tilted cap.

[0033] It is conceivable that the bracket 610 is equipped with a lifting and adjusting mechanism, and the mounting base 630 is connected to the lifting and adjusting mechanism. By setting up the lifting and adjusting mechanism, the height of the detection piece 620 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to different specifications of covers, expanding the scope of application, and reducing production costs. Specifically, the lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a vertical plate 650 and an adjusting bolt 660. The vertical plate 650 is vertically mounted on the bracket 610, and a sliding groove 670 is vertically provided along its length. The adjusting bolt 660 passes through the sliding groove 670 and is connected to the mounting base 630. By loosening the adjusting bolt 660, the mounting base 630 moves along the sliding groove 670 to the corresponding position. Then, the adjusting bolt 660 is tightened, facilitating the height adjustment of the mounting base 630. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Of course, the height adjustment of the mounting base 630 can also be achieved using a motor, thereby realizing automated operation and improving work efficiency.

[0034] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
