Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probiotic packaging technology, specifically to a probiotic filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotics are a class of live microorganisms that colonize the human body and alter the composition of the gut microbiota in a certain part of the host. They are beneficial to the host by regulating the host's mucosal and systemic immune functions or by regulating the balance of gut microbiota, thereby promoting nutrient absorption and maintaining gut health. They can produce single microorganisms or well-defined mixtures of microorganisms that have health benefits.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent (CN221370576U) provides a probiotic beverage quantitative filling device, including a base. Two support rods are symmetrically arranged on one side of the base. A support plate is connected to the top of the two support rods. A U-shaped groove is provided between the support plate and the base. A partition is provided at the top of the U-shaped groove. A motor is provided on the top surface of the partition. A threaded rod is provided at the output end of the motor. The threaded rod passes through the partition and extends to the bottom of the U-shaped groove. A slider is fitted inside the threaded rod in the U-shaped groove. The slider is adapted to the U-shaped groove. A carrier plate is provided on the front of the slider. A push rod is provided on the side wall of the carrier plate. A filling cylinder is fitted at the bottom of the push rod. A piston is provided at the bottom of the push rod, and the piston is adapted to the filling cylinder. This solution uses the number of rotations of the threaded rod driven by the motor to lower the push rod and piston to a fixed height, enabling quantitative filling of probiotic beverages. It is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0004] After the above-mentioned solution is filled, due to the viscosity of the probiotic beverage, a certain amount of probiotic beverage will remain at the outlet of the filling cylinder. If the residue at the outlet is not thoroughly cleaned, it may gradually accumulate and deteriorate or become contaminated upon contact with air as the production line continues to operate. This may also affect the hygiene of subsequent batches of products and increase the risk of cross-contamination. To address the above problems, a probiotic filling device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a probiotic filling device is provided, which solves the problem that after filling, due to the viscosity of probiotic drinks, a certain amount of probiotic drinks will remain at the outlet of the filling cylinder. If the residue at the outlet is not thoroughly cleaned, with the continuous operation of the production line, these residues may gradually accumulate and deteriorate or become contaminated upon contact with air, which may affect the hygiene of subsequent batches of products and increase the risk of cross-contamination.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a probiotic filling device, including a frame, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the frame, two support rods fixedly connected to the front side of the upper surface of the frame, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the two support rods, a first cylinder fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the support plate, a push plate fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder, guide blocks fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper surface of the support plate, guide rods slidably connected inside the two sets of guide blocks, the rear sides of the two guide rods fixedly connected to the front side of the push plate, two sets of locking blocks fixedly connected to the top of the push plate, and a filling assembly provided on the upper surface of the frame and the rear side of the conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, the filling assembly includes two fixed rods, which are fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper surface of the frame. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the two fixed rods, and a second cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the connecting plate. A moving plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, and the rear side of the moving plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the two fixed rods.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom left and right sides of the movable plate are fixedly connected with sleeves, and the two sets of sleeves are slidably connected with metering tubes. A sealing ring is fixedly connected between the lower part of the sleeve and the metering tube, and the lower end of the two sets of metering tubes is provided with several liquid outlet holes in a ring shape.

[0009] Preferably, a fourth cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate and the front side of the second cylinder, and an installation plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder. The front side of the installation plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the metering tube, and an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer side of both sets of metering tubes.

[0010] Preferably, a third cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the movable plate, and a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the third cylinder. Push rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixed plate, and the bottom of the two push rods extends into the metering tube and is fixedly connected to a piston.

[0011] Preferably, baffles are fixedly connected to the front sides of the two fixed rods at positions corresponding to the push plate.

[0012] Preferably, a stepper motor for driving the conveyor belt is fixedly installed at the left front end of the conveyor belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: After filling is completed, the fourth cylinder pulls the mounting plate upward, causing the metering tube to retract into the sleeve. During this retraction process, the probiotics on the surface of the metering tube are scraped off. Then, the outlet hole is sealed between the sealing ring and the bottom surface of the sleeve to prevent the probiotics from flowing out. By scraping off the probiotic beverage residue on the surface of the metering tube, the waste of probiotic beverage can be minimized, ensuring that as much product as possible is successfully filled into the container during each filling process, rather than remaining on the surface of the metering tube. By scraping off the probiotic beverage on the surface of the metering tube and sealing it, excessive contact between the probiotic liquid and air during the filling process can be avoided, thereby reducing the possibility of microbial contamination in the air and ensuring the hygiene and safety of the product.

[0020] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, a probiotic filling device includes a frame 1. A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the frame 1. Two support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the front side of the upper surface of the frame 1. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the two support rods 3. A first cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the support plate 4. A push plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 5. Guide blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the support plate 4. Guide rods 9 are slidably connected inside the two sets of guide blocks 8. The rear sides of the two guide rods 9 are fixedly connected to the front side of the push plate 6. Two sets of locking blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the push plate 6. A filling assembly 10 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 1 and the rear side of the conveyor belt 2. The combined design of the guide blocks 8 and guide rods 9 provides guidance and support for the movement of the push plate 6. They ensure the stability and accuracy of the push plate 6 during the movement process and avoid positioning errors caused by offset or shaking.

[0022] Specifically, the filling assembly 10 includes two fixed rods 1001, which are fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper surface of the frame 1. A connecting plate 1002 is fixedly connected to the top of the two fixed rods 1001, and a second cylinder 1003 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the connecting plate 1002. A moving plate 1004 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 1003, and the rear side of the moving plate 1004 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the two fixed rods 1001.

[0023] Specifically, sleeves 1006 are fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the movable plate 1004. A metering tube 1005 is slidably connected inside the two sets of sleeves 1006. A sealing ring 1008 is fixedly connected between the lower part of the sleeve 1006 and the metering tube 1005. Several liquid outlet holes 1007 are opened in a ring at the lower end of the two sets of metering tubes 1005. The design of the metering tube 1005 makes the amount of probiotic liquid filled each time controllable and accurate, while the ring opening of the liquid outlet holes 1007 ensures that the probiotic liquid can flow out evenly and quickly, improving filling efficiency. The sealing ring 1008 is used to prevent the air above the sleeve 1006 from contacting the probiotics, causing the probiotics to deteriorate or become contaminated.

[0024] Specifically, a fourth cylinder 1014 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 1002 and the front side of the second cylinder 1003. A mounting plate 1015 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder 1014. The front side of the mounting plate 1015 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the metering tube 1005. An inlet pipe 1009 is fixedly connected to the outside of both sets of metering tubes 1005. The inlet pipe 1009 is designed to connect to an external liquid supply mechanism for injecting a quantitative amount of probiotic liquid into the metering tube 1005.

[0025] Specifically, a third cylinder 1010 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the moving plate 1004. A fixed plate 1011 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third cylinder 1010. Push rods 1012 are fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the fixed plate 1011. The bottom of the two push rods 1012 extends into the metering tube 1005 and is fixedly connected to a piston 1013. Through the cooperation of the fixed plate 1011, the push rods 1012 and the piston 1013, the third cylinder 1010 realizes the pushing of probiotic liquid inside the metering tube 1005. This design ensures that the probiotic liquid can be pushed out evenly and quickly, improving the accuracy and efficiency of filling.

[0026] Specifically, baffles 1016 are fixedly connected to the front of the two fixed rods 1001 at the corresponding positions of the push plate 6. The baffles 1016 are designed to effectively fix the empty bottle after positioning, avoiding filling errors caused by shaking or displacement.

[0027] Specifically, a stepper motor 11 for driving the conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed at the front left end of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 realizes automatic conveying and positioning of empty bottles through the drive of the stepper motor 11. This design not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the tediousness of manual operation and ensures the stability and accuracy of empty bottles in the filling process.

[0028] Working principle: In use, firstly, an appropriate amount of probiotic liquid is injected into the metering tube 1005 through the external liquid supply mechanism via the inlet pipe 1009. Then, the stepper motor 11 drives the conveyor belt 2 to transport the empty bottle to the filling assembly 10. Next, the output end of the first cylinder 5 extends, driving the push plate 6 to move. The empty bottle is positioned by the locking block 7 and abuts against the baffle 1016. Then, the output ends of the second cylinder 1003 and the fourth cylinder 1014 extend synchronously, pushing the metering tube 1005 and the moving plate 1004 downward, so that the sleeve 1006 enters the empty bottle. Then, the fourth cylinder 1014 continues to push the mounting plate 1015 downward, thereby making the positioning... The lower end of the measuring tube 1005 detaches from the inside of the sleeve 1006. Then, the output end of the third cylinder 1010 retracts, pulling the fixing plate 1011 downward. This, in turn, pushes the piston 1013 through the push rod 1012, pushing the probiotics in the measuring tube 1005 out of the outlet hole 1007 to complete the filling. After the filling is completed, the fourth cylinder 1014 pulls the mounting plate 1015 upward, causing the measuring tube 1005 to retract back into the sleeve 1006. During this process of retracting into the sleeve 1006, the probiotics on the surface of the measuring tube 1005 are scraped off. Then, the outlet hole 1007 is located between the sealing ring 1008 and the bottom surface of the sleeve 1006 to complete the seal, thereby preventing the probiotics from flowing out.
