[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a highland craft beer bottling equipment, including a filling base 1, a base frame 2 fixed at the bottom of the filling base 1, a conveying cavity opened on the filling base 1, a conveying shaft symmetrically rotatably arranged in the conveying cavity, a chain conveyor belt 4 installed in the conveying cavity, a conveying motor for rotating the conveying shaft installed on the filling base 1, an installation plate 9 fixed on one side of the filling base 1, a receiving box 5 installed above the installation plate 9, a blocking plate 51 protruding from the receiving box 5 and the side of the conveying cavity away from the receiving box 5, an adjustment component 6 for adjusting the position of the receiving box 5 installed in the middle section of the installation plate 9, the adjustment component 6 including a collar 7 rotatably embedded in the installation plate 9, a lead screw 8 threaded through the collar 7, the collar 7 and the lead screw 8 being threadedly engaged, one end of the lead screw 8 being fixed to the receiving box 5, and protruding blocks 71 symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the collar 7.

[0034] By adjusting the protruding block 71, the protruding block 71 rotates, causing the collar 7 to rotate as a whole. During the rotation of the collar 7, the lead screw 8 rotates as a whole. During the movement of the lead screw 8, the receiving box 5 moves as a whole. This allows for effective adjustment of the distance between the two baffles 51 according to the size of the bottle, ensuring that the bottle will not shake or tip over during transport.

[0035] A limiting strip 52 is symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the aforementioned container 5, and a limiting groove 521 is provided on the filling seat 1 for the limiting strip 52 to pass through. The limiting groove 521 and the limiting strip 52 are fitted together.

[0036] By coordinating the limit bars 52 and limit grooves 521, it is possible to ensure that the container 5 will not be misaligned during the movement and adjustment process.

[0037] The filling seat 1 has a flow guide cavity installed at the bottom of the conveying chamber, and a drain pipe 3 is installed at one end of the filling seat 1 corresponding to the flow guide cavity. Through the drain pipe 3, the overflowing beverage can be stably discharged during operation, and it is also convenient to wash the chain conveyor belt 4 afterward.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an L-shaped top plate 10 is installed at the top of the filling base 1. A receiving plate 13 is installed at the bottom middle section of the top plate 10. Guide rods 12 are symmetrically and vertically fixed at the top of the receiving plate 13. The guide rods 12 are installed through the top plate 10. A hydraulic rod 11 for adjusting the receiving plate 13 is installed at the top of the top plate 10. A filling nozzle 18 is installed at the bottom of the receiving plate 13. A locking assembly 14 for fixing the bottle body is installed at the bottom of the receiving plate 13 corresponding to the outer edge of the filling nozzle 18. The locking assembly 14 includes a sliding rod 17 vertically fixed on the receiving plate 13. Several sliding rods 17 are arranged in a circular array with the center of the locking ring 15 as the center. A circular locking ring 15 is slidably fitted on the sliding rod 17. The center of the filling nozzle 18 and the locking ring 15 are located on the same axis. A push spring 16 for pushing the locking ring 15 is fitted on the sliding rod 17.

[0039] With the snap-fit ​​assembly 14 set on the receiving plate 13, the snap-fit ​​ring 15 descends and snaps onto the top outer edge of the bottle during the descent of the receiving plate 13. As it continues to descend, it drives the push spring 16 to compress as a whole, thereby ensuring that the snap-fit ​​ring 15 provides auxiliary fixation for the bottle. At the same time, after the snap-fit ​​ring 15 snaps onto the bottle, the filling nozzle 18 and the bubble tube 181 both extend into the bottle mouth, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the bottle mouth and the filling nozzle 18 during subsequent work. This minimizes the possibility of misalignment between the bottle mouth and the filling nozzle 18 during filling, ensuring smooth subsequent filling work and minimizing leakage of beverages due to misalignment.

[0040] The bottom center of the above-mentioned injection nozzle 18 is the spray outlet. An auxiliary bubble suction tube 181 is installed at the bottom outer edge of the injection nozzle 18. Several bubble suction tubes are opened on the outer side of the bubble suction tube 181. An air guide tube and a liquid guide tube are installed at the top of the receiving plate 13. The air guide tube is connected to the bubble suction tube 181, and the liquid guide tube is connected to the spray outlet of the injection nozzle 18.

[0041] By using the suction tube 181 located on the outer edge of the filling nozzle 18, the beer can be poured through the filling port during filling. The suction tube 1811 on the suction tube 181 can draw out the foam generated during beer filling, ensuring that the liquid level reaches the designated position and minimizing the impact of foam generated during filling on the normal filling of beverages, such as insufficient beverage in some bottles.

[0042] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0043] Before starting work, rotate the protruding block 71. The protruding block 71 drives the collar 7 to rotate as a whole. During the rotation of the collar 7, the lead screw 8 rotates as a whole. During the movement of the lead screw 8, the container 5 moves as a whole. This allows the distance between the two baffles 51 to be adjusted according to the size of the bottle.

[0044] The conveyor motor is started, which drives the conveyor shaft to rotate. During the rotation of the conveyor shaft, the chain conveyor belt 4 rotates, which in turn moves the bottles placed on it. When the bottles move below the receiving plate 13, the hydraulic rod 11 extends. During the extension of the hydraulic rod 11, the receiving plate 13 descends. During the descent of the receiving plate 13, the locking ring 15 descends and locks onto the top outer edge of the bottle. As it continues to descend, it compresses the push spring 16, thus ensuring that the locking ring 15 provides auxiliary fixation for the bottle. After the locking ring 15 locks onto the bottle, the filling nozzle 18 and the foaming tube 181 extend into the bottle mouth. During the filling process, the filling nozzle 18 fills the beer through the filling port, and the foaming tube 1811 on the foaming tube 181 draws air through the foaming holes to help remove the foam generated during the beer filling, ensuring that the liquid level reaches the designated position.

[0045] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
