[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 The principles and features of this utility model are described, and the examples given are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] A negative pressure filling head, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes an outlet pipe 1, with an inlet section 2 at the upper part of the outlet pipe 1. The inlet section 2 includes a fixed seat 201 and a steering shaft sleeve 202. A third sealing ring 203 is provided circumferentially between the fixed seat 201 and the steering shaft sleeve 202. The number of third sealing rings 203 can be multiple. In this embodiment, there are two third sealing rings 203 arranged at intervals, which can achieve circumferential sealing between the fixed seat 201 and the steering shaft sleeve 202. The third sealing ring 203 is an O-ring, or it can be a sealing gasket with a square cross-section or other sealing elements well known to those skilled in the art.
[0030] The fixed base 201 and the steering bushing 202 are also provided with a liquid flow channel 204 at their center. The liquid flow channel 204 is perpendicular to and communicates with the liquid outlet pipe 1. After the liquid from the storage tank 15 enters the fixed base 201, it flows through the liquid flow channel 204, through the steering bushing 202, and into the liquid outlet pipe 1. The lower part of the liquid outlet pipe 1 is provided with a liquid outlet section 3 that is inserted into the inner cavity of the bottle body 20 for the liquid to flow into the bottle body 20. The liquid outlet section 3 consists of multiple through holes penetrating the side wall of the liquid outlet pipe 1. In this embodiment, there are four through holes arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall of the liquid outlet pipe 1. The liquid outlet pipe 1 is provided with a gas guide pipe 5. One end of the gas guide pipe 5 communicates with the inner cavity of the bottle body 20, and the other end passes through the liquid flow channel 204 and extends to the outside of the steering bushing 202 to communicate with the vacuum pipeline 16 for evacuating the bottle body 20.
[0031] The bottom end of the outlet pipe 1 is provided with a sealing connection positioning head 4. The positioning head 4 includes a connecting part 401, a tapered guide head 403, and a sealing flange 402 located between the connecting part 401 and the tapered guide head 403. The sealing flange 402 is fitted with a first sealing ring 8, which can be an O-ring or other sealing element well known to those skilled in the art, such as a Y-ring. The connecting part 401 is provided with an external thread that mates with the outlet pipe 1. After the connecting part 401 is screwed into the outlet pipe 1, the end face of the sealing flange 402 abuts against the outlet pipe 1 and the end face is sealed by the first sealing ring 8, which can prevent liquid from leaking from the joint between the outlet pipe 1 and the positioning head 4.
[0032] A sleeve 6 is fitted over the outside of the outlet pipe 1. The sleeve 6 is movable relative to the outlet pipe 1, and an adjustable bottle mouth sealing cone sleeve 7 is provided on the sleeve 6. Further, the bottle mouth sealing cone sleeve 7 includes a rubber cone 701 made of rubber and an adjusting seat 702. The adjusting seat 702 is provided with a clamping bolt 703 for locking the position, which can realize the tightening of the bottle mouth sealing cone sleeve 7 after the position is adjusted on the sleeve 6, and prevent the bottle mouth sealing cone sleeve 7 from shifting and causing the bottle mouth seal to fail.
[0033] The sleeve 6 is also provided with a slide 9 at the end near the liquid inlet 2. A spring 10 is provided between the slide 9 and the liquid inlet 2 and fitted onto the liquid outlet pipe 1. Further, a first spring seat 11 bolted to the slide 9 is provided above the slide 9. A second sealing ring 12 is provided between the slide 9 and the first spring seat 11. The first spring seat 11 has a first positioning boss 13 that is inserted into the spring 10 and matches the inner diameter of the spring 10. The second sealing ring 12 can prevent liquid from leaking from the gap between the liquid outlet pipe 1 and the sleeve 6. In this embodiment, the second sealing ring 12 is an O-ring, or it can be a sealing gasket with a square cross-section or other sealing elements well known to those skilled in the art. The steering shaft sleeve 202 is also provided with a second spring seat 205 fitted onto the end of the liquid outlet pipe 1 and abutting against the spring 10. The second spring seat 205 has a second positioning boss 206 that is inserted into the spring 10 and matches the inner diameter of the spring 10. Both the first positioning boss 13 and the second positioning boss 206 are used to position the spring 10 to prevent the spring 10 from deflecting during compression or extension. When the spring 10 is in its freely extended state, the sleeve 6 covers the liquid outlet 3 and the port of the air guide tube 5, and cooperates with the first sealing ring 8 to form a circumferential seal, so that liquid will not flow into the bottle body 20.
[0034] After the device is inserted into the bottle 20, the bottle 20 pushes the bottle mouth sealing cone sleeve 7 and the sleeve 6 upwards together, fully exposing the liquid outlet 3 and the gas guide tube 5. The spring 10 is compressed, and the rubber cone 701 effectively seals the bottle mouth under the pushing force of the spring 10. At this time, the bottle 20 can be vacuumed and filled sequentially. When the bottle 20 is removed, the spring 10 returns to its original position, the sleeve 6 moves downwards, and the liquid outlet 3 and the gas guide tube 5 are blocked, closing both the vacuuming and filling passages. During use, no additional valves are needed in the corresponding pipelines, saving pipeline layout space.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] A negative pressure filling device for liquid materials, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the system includes the aforementioned negative pressure filling head, as well as a liquid storage tank 15 mounted on the upper part of the frame 14. The liquid storage tank 15 is equipped with a breather valve 23, a sight glass 24, and a liquid level sensor 25. The bottom of the liquid storage tank 15 is connected to the liquid inlet 2. The frame 14 is equipped with two bottle support brackets 21 for placing bottles 20. The bottle support brackets 21 are arranged on both sides of the liquid storage tank 15. The frame 14 and the bottle support brackets 21 are connected by snap-fit pins, or bolts can also be used. The frame 14 and the bottle support brackets 21 may have multiple elongated holes 22, either individually or simultaneously, to allow the height of the bottle support brackets 21 relative to the frame 14 to accommodate bottles of different sizes 20.
[0037] The upper part of the liquid storage tank 15 is connected to the gas guide pipe 5 via a vacuum pipeline 16. The lower part of the frame 14 is also equipped with a vacuum pump 17 and a gas storage tank 18. The air inlet of the vacuum pump 17 is connected to the gas storage tank 18, and the gas storage tank 18 is connected to the liquid storage tank 15 via a pipeline. The lower part of the frame 14 is also equipped with a feed pump 19 for supplying liquid to the liquid storage tank 15. The feed pump 19 can be a centrifugal pump or a gear pump. The feeding and vacuuming of the entire device are automatically controlled by a PLC, resulting in a higher degree of automation and convenient operation.
[0038] During vacuuming, the solenoid valve corresponding to the gas storage tank 18 is opened, and the vacuum pump 17 is started. The air in the bottle 20 enters the liquid storage tank 15 through the air guide pipe 5 and the vacuum pipeline 16. It merges with the upper air in the liquid storage tank 15 and enters the vacuum pump 17 through the gas storage tank 18. It is then drawn out by the vacuum pump 17, creating a negative pressure in the liquid storage tank 15 and the bottle 20. After the negative pressure is established, the bottle 20 is filled, which can reduce the amount of air entering the bottle 20 and extend the shelf life of the liquid.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
