Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Honey originates from the hard work of bees, a product of their meticulous processing of nectar. Its main components are sugars, with glucose and fructose comprising 60%-80%, making it easily absorbed by the human body. Honey has a wide range of uses in daily life: it serves as a nutritional supplement, has medicinal properties, can be used to process candied fruits, and can replace sugar as a unique condiment. For ease of sale, processed honey is typically bottled in glass bottles. Currently, most finished honey is bottled using filling equipment to inject the honey into glass bottles.

[0003] A Chinese patent, CN 209618864 U, discloses a honey production filling device that uses a threaded drain tube connected to the outside of the outlet, with manual rotation for height adjustment to fit a collection container. However, honey tends to adhere to the inner wall of the drain tube during filling. When the drain tube is adjusted upwards, residual honey seeps into the threaded gap between the outlet and the pipe, causing thread blockage and making cleaning difficult. Furthermore, the manual adjustment method is cumbersome. In addition, current honey filling methods suffer from problems such as air bubbles failing to escape from glass bottles, uneven honey filling leading to volume deviations in individual bottles, excessive internal gaps causing shaking and spillage during transport, and an unfulfilled appearance of the finished product, all of which hinder improvements in filling efficiency and packaging quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a filling device for honey production, which solves the problems of honey seepage and blockage when adjusting the distance between the discharge port and the collection bucket in existing devices, cumbersome manual operation, difficulty in removing air bubbles during filling, uneven filling, overflow due to shaking, and poor appearance, which affect efficiency and quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filling device for honey production, comprising a mounting frame, a storage tank disposed on the upper side of the mounting frame, and a filling pipe connected to the outlet of the storage tank. One end of the filling pipe extends through and into the interior of the mounting frame. The device also includes a telescopic filling assembly connected to one end of the filling pipe, a longitudinal drive mechanism disposed within the mounting frame and connected to the telescopic filling assembly, and two hammering mechanisms disposed on the mounting frame. The telescopic filling assembly can move vertically along the height direction of the mounting frame via the longitudinal drive mechanism. The two hammering mechanisms are symmetrically distributed along the vertical axis of the telescopic filling assembly, and the symmetrical center line of the two hammering mechanisms coincides with the vertical axis of the telescopic filling assembly. The two hammering mechanisms are located below the telescopic filling assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a base plate, an inverted U-shaped frame disposed on the upper side of the base plate, horizontal plates disposed on both sides inside the inverted U-shaped frame, and a back plate disposed on the rear side of the inverted U-shaped frame. One end of the filling tube passes through the upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame and extends into the interior of the inverted U-shaped frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal drive mechanism includes a first motor disposed on the upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame and spaced apart from the storage tank, a threaded rod connected to the output end of the first motor, a threaded sleeve threadedly engaged with the threaded rod, a column connected between the upper side of a horizontal plate and the inner upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame, a sliding sleeve slidably engaged on the column, and a connecting rod connected to the side opposite to the sliding sleeve and the threaded sleeve respectively. The two ends of the threaded rod are rotatably connected to the upper side of another horizontal plate and the inner upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic filling assembly includes a threaded connecting pipe threaded to one end of the filling tube, a telescopic tube communicating with one end of the threaded connecting pipe, a filling head communicating with one end of the telescopic tube, and U-shaped connectors respectively provided on both sides of the filling head. One end of each of the two connecting rods is embedded in the U-shaped groove of the two U-shaped connectors and connected by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the hammering mechanism includes a second motor on one side of the back plate, a rotating shaft connected to the output end of the second motor, a turntable on the rotating shaft and located inside the inverted U-shaped frame, a sliding column on one side of the radial edge of the turntable, a connecting arm rotatably connected to the other side of the back plate and spaced apart from the turntable, a strip-shaped opening on the connecting arm, and a spherical rubber hammer connected to one end of the connecting arm. The sliding column and the strip-shaped opening are fitted with a clearance and can slide along the length direction of the strip-shaped opening.

[0010] Furthermore, clamping mechanisms are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame. The two clamping mechanisms are symmetrically distributed along the vertical axis of the telescopic filling assembly. The two clamping mechanisms are respectively located below the two turntables, and the two clamping mechanisms are slidably engaged with the upper side of the base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper side of the base plate is provided with two spaced sliding grooves; the clamping mechanism includes an adjusting screw that is threaded to one side of the inverted U-shaped frame, an arc-shaped clamping plate that is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting screw and located inside the inverted U-shaped frame, and a slider connected to the lower side of the arc-shaped clamping plate, wherein the slider is slidably engaged with the sliding groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention adjusts the distance between the filling head and the glass bottle opening by coordinating a telescopic filling component and a longitudinal drive mechanism before honey filling. During the filling process, two hammering mechanisms continuously vibrate and hammer the bottle body. This device facilitates automatic adjustment of the distance between the filling head and the bottle opening, and simultaneously, the vibration effect during filling causes air bubbles to rise and be expelled quickly, pushing the honey to fill the bottle evenly and ensuring a high degree of consistency in the filling volume of each bottle. At the same time, the vibration effectively compacts the honey, reduces gaps inside the bottle, reduces the amplitude of shaking and the risk of spillage during transportation, and improves the fullness of the product appearance and the integrity of the packaging.

The bottom of the storage tank 1 is conical, and its outer wall is connected to four evenly distributed support columns 31. One end of each of the four support columns 31 is connected to the upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6, providing reliable support for the storage tank 1 and ensuring its stability on the inverted U-shaped frame 6.

[0020] The longitudinal drive mechanism 4 includes a first motor 15 mounted on the upper side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6 and spaced apart from the storage tank 1, a threaded rod 9 connected to the output end of the first motor 15, a threaded sleeve 10 threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 9, a column 13 connected between the upper side of a horizontal plate 7 and the upper inner side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6, a sliding sleeve 14 slidably engaged on the column 13, and a connecting rod 11 connected to the side opposite to the sliding sleeve 14 and the threaded sleeve 10 respectively. The two ends of the threaded rod 9 are rotatably connected to the upper side of another horizontal plate 7 and the upper inner side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6 respectively.

[0021] The telescopic filling assembly 3 includes a threaded connecting pipe 18 threaded to one end of the filling pipe 2, a telescopic pipe 16 communicating with one end of the threaded connecting pipe 18, a filling head 17 communicating with one end of the telescopic pipe 16, and U-shaped connectors 19 connected to both sides of the filling head 17. One end of each of the two connecting rods 11 is embedded in the U-shaped groove of the two U-shaped connectors 19 and connected by bolts. Through holes are coaxially formed on both sides of the U-shaped connectors 19 and the ends of the connecting rods 11, and are locked through by fine-threaded bolts. The threaded connecting pipe 18 is threaded to the filling head 17, and the U-shaped connectors 19 on both sides of the filling head 17 are fixed to the connecting rods 11 by bolts. This connection method allows the threaded connecting pipe 18 and the filling head 17 to be separated, and the connection between the filling head 17 and the connecting rods 11 to be removed, thereby achieving convenient cleaning of the telescopic pipe 16, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving equipment hygiene standards.

[0022] The hammering mechanism 20 includes a second motor 21 mounted on one side of the back plate 8, a rotating shaft 22 connected to the output end of the second motor 21, a turntable 23 connected to the rotating shaft 22 and located inside the inverted U-shaped frame 6, a cylindrical sliding column 24 connected to one side of the radial edge of the turntable 23, a connecting arm 25 rotatably connected to the other side of the back plate 8 and spaced apart from the turntable 23, a strip opening 26 provided on the connecting arm 25, and a spherical rubber hammer 27 connected to one end of the connecting arm 25. The sliding column 24 and the strip opening 26 are fitted with a clearance and can slide along the length of the strip opening 26.

[0023] Clamping mechanisms are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame 6. The two clamping mechanisms are symmetrically distributed along the vertical axis of the telescopic filling assembly 3. The two clamping mechanisms are respectively located below the two turntables 23, and the two clamping mechanisms are slidably engaged with the upper side of the base plate 5. The upper side of the base plate 5 is provided with two spaced sliding grooves 12. The clamping mechanism includes an adjusting screw 29 that is threaded to one side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6, an arc-shaped clamping plate 28 that is rotatably connected to a cylindrical bearing at one end of the adjusting screw 29 and located inside the inverted U-shaped frame 6, and a slider 30 that is connected to the lower side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 28. The slider 30 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 12. The inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 28 is fitted with a rubber pad to buffer the clamping force and prevent damage to the surface of the glass bottle.

[0024] A PLC controller is installed on one side of the inverted U-shaped frame 6, which is electrically connected to the first motor 15 and the two second motors 21. The PLC controller is used to control the start, stop and operation parameters of the first motor 15 and the two second motors 21.

[0025] Working process and principle: During operation, the glass bottle is first placed on the base plate 5 and positioned between the two arc-shaped clamps 28. Then, by rotating the handle of the adjusting screw 29, the adjusting screw 29 drives the arc-shaped clamps 28 to gradually move closer to the glass bottle, achieving clamping and fixing of the glass bottle. During this process, the slider 30 connected to the arc-shaped clamps 28 slides synchronously along the slide groove 12, ensuring smooth clamping action. Next, the first motor 15 is started by the PLC controller, driving the threaded rod 9 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeve 10 to move vertically downwards. During this transmission process, the threaded sleeve 10 drives the sliding sleeve 14 to slide on the column 13 via the connecting rod 11, ultimately achieving height adjustment between the filling head 17 and the glass bottle opening. After height adjustment is completed, the valve of the filling tube 2 is opened, and simultaneously the PLC controller starts the two second motors 21. Two rotating shafts 22 drive two turntables 23 to rotate in opposite directions. The sliding column 24 on the edge of the turntable 23 reciprocates within the strip-shaped opening 26, driving the connecting arm 25 to swing, causing the spherical rubber hammer 27 to continuously and gently tap the outer wall of the glass bottle. Simultaneously, honey from the storage tank 1 is injected into the glass bottle through the filling tube 2, telescopic tube 16, and filling head 17. This device automatically adjusts the distance between the filling head 17 and the bottle opening. During synchronous filling, the tapping and vibration of the glass bottle causes air bubbles to rise and be expelled, ensuring the honey evenly fills the bottle and maintains consistent filling volume. At the same time, compacting the honey reduces voids, lowers the risk of shaking and spillage during transportation, and improves product fullness.
