Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of filling machine cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a filling machine cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A filling machine is a machine used to fill empty bottles with beverages. The structure of an existing filling machine includes: a frame, a turntable driven by a motor to rotate on the frame, and several liquid cylinders evenly arranged along the circumference of the turntable. The liquid cylinders are filled with beverages, and each liquid cylinder has a top-opening mechanical filling valve at the bottom. After the empty bottle moves upward and the bottle mouth opens the mechanical filling valve, the beverage in the liquid cylinder can be filled into the empty bottle through the mechanical filling valve. Since the liquid cylinders, mechanical filling valves, main inlet pipe, and branch inlet pipes in the filling machine are in direct contact with the beverages, they all need to be cleaned and sterilized after a period of use.

[0003] The existing patent (publication number: CN110092336B) discloses a cleaning device for a filling machine. Each liquid cylinder has a cleaning ball at the top of its inner cavity, and a valve core cleaning tube is also installed at the top of each liquid cylinder. Each valve core cleaning tube is located directly above the valve core of the mechanical filling valve in its respective liquid cylinder. Each liquid cylinder also has a cleaning tube driving device at its top, allowing each valve core cleaning tube to move downwards and connect with the top of the corresponding mechanical filling valve core. The device also includes several cleaning dummy cups, and a dummy cup fixing device is provided between each cleaning dummy cup and its corresponding mechanical filling valve to fix the dummy cup when it opens the mechanical filling valve and covers the valve opening.

[0004] Currently, the cleaning method for filling heads of filling machines usually involves manually disassembling and cleaning the parts that need to be cleaned after the machine is stopped. This cleaning method has the disadvantages of low cleaning efficiency, frequent disassembly which can easily damage the equipment, and inconvenience in cyclic rinsing. Therefore, a filling machine cleaning device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a filling machine cleaning device, which has the advantages of realizing cyclic cleaning and high-efficiency cleaning effect, and solves the problems of low cleaning efficiency, frequent disassembly causing equipment damage, and inconvenience for cyclic rinsing pointed out in the above-mentioned comparative documents.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a filling machine cleaning device, including a water storage device, a circulating pumping device at the top of the water storage device, a bidirectional guide pipe fixedly connected to the input end of the circulating pumping device, a diversion component fixedly connected to the bottom of the bidirectional guide pipe, a driving mechanism inside the diversion component, a first ball valve and a second ball valve threadedly connected to the outer surface of the driving mechanism, a cleaning pipe fixedly connected to the top of the circulating pumping device, a rubber sleeve at the end of the cleaning pipe, and an elastic fixing component fitted onto the outer surface of the rubber sleeve.

[0007] The above scheme utilizes a drive mechanism to laterally displace the first and second ball valves within the diversion assembly. This opens one inlet channel while closing the other. Simultaneously, the circulating pumping device generates suction to pump the initial cleaning water from the storage device into the cleaning pipe, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the filling head for cleaning. The cleaned water can then be circulated back to the original inlet channel, allowing the drive mechanism to again displace the first and second ball valves to open another channel for further cleaning. This achieves both cyclic and tiered cleaning, eliminating the need for manual disassembly of the filling head and resulting in highly efficient cleaning.

[0008] Furthermore, the water storage device includes a water storage tank, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to a partition, and the diversion component is located on the inner wall of the partition.

[0009] The above solution involves installing a partition inside the water storage tank to provide a water distribution area in conjunction with the diversion component, thereby providing different cleaning water for the graded cleaning of the filling head.

[0010] Furthermore, the diversion assembly includes a diversion pipe body, with an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the diversion pipe body and an upper flow pipe fixedly connected to the top of the diversion pipe body, and two sets of both the inlet pipe and the upper flow pipe are provided.

[0011] The above scheme involves setting two sets of inlet pipes and an upper flow pipe at the top and bottom of the diversion pipe body, respectively. When the circulation pumping device is started, the first ball valve and the second ball valve are driven to different positions by the drive mechanism. This allows one inlet pipe to be opened, while the other side moves to the opening of the other set of inlet pipes and closes it. During pumping, the inlet pipes inside the water storage tank, corresponding to the opened pipes, work together to transport cleaning water to the cleaning pipe. During circulation, the water flows back to the original water storage area. When further cleaning is required, the positions of the first ball valve and the second ball valve are reversed, causing the inlet pipe opening at the second ball valve to open. This allows the cleaning water in the second water storage area to be transported to the cleaning pipe for secondary cleaning, thereby achieving circulation cleaning and efficient cleaning.

[0012] Furthermore, the circulating pumping device includes a circulating pump, and connecting pipe heads are welded to the top and bottom of the circulating pump, which are respectively connected to a bidirectional guide pipe and a cleaning pipe.

[0013] The above scheme allows the circulation pump to generate internal suction force to pump the cleaning water into the upper pipe through the inlet pipe. The water is then transported to the cleaning pipe via the bidirectional guide pipe. When the cleaning water flows back, the first or second ball valve at the lower end of one of the upper pipe openings of the bidirectional guide pipe will close the water. As a result, the backflow water will only flow back to the original inlet pipe with the channel open due to the air pressure inside the closed pipe, thus preventing the cleaning water from mixing.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, the output end of which is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft, the output end of which is fixedly connected with a threaded shaft, the first ball valve and the second ball valve are both threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded shaft, and a waterproof sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0015] The above scheme involves starting a motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives a threaded shaft to rotate. As the shaft rotates, it simultaneously drives the first ball valve and the second ball valve to move in the same direction. This allows the first ball valve to open the inlet channel of one of the inlet pipes, while the second ball valve moves to the inlet of the other inlet pipe to close it. This reciprocating motion provides displacement driving force to the first and second ball valves, enabling them to automatically achieve an intermittent closing effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the elastic fixing component includes an elastic fixing ring, the elastic fixing ring having a spring inside and a bolt threaded onto its outer surface.

[0017] With the above solution, when the filling head needs to be cleaned, the rubber sleeve at the end of the cleaning tube is connected to the filling head, and the elastic retaining ring is gradually locked by rotating the bolt. This allows the cleaning tube to be fixed to the filling head, and the rubber sleeve provides an elastic connection to the filling head, preventing wear at the connection point.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting baffle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the diversion pipe body, and two sets of the limiting baffle are provided.

[0019] The above solution, through the setting of two sets of limiting baffles, forms two barrier spaces inside the diversion pipe body, preventing water from flowing from one side of the inlet channel to the other side and causing mixing and contamination of the cleaning water, so as to achieve better cleaning effect of the filling head.

[0020] Furthermore, a sealing plug is provided on the top of the water storage tank, and two sealing plugs are provided. A sealing sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank.

[0021] The above scheme allows for the provision of two different water inlets to the water storage tank by setting two sealing plugs, and the sealing plugs also serve to seal the inlets.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The cleaning device of this filling machine, by activating the drive mechanism, drives the first ball valve and the second ball valve to move laterally inside the diversion component. This allows one of the water inlet channels inside the diversion component to be opened while the other water inlet is closed. At the same time, after the circulation pumping device is activated, the internal suction force, together with the diversion component, pumps the initial cleaning water from the water storage device into the cleaning pipe, pressurizes it, and then delivers it to the inside of the filling head for cleaning. After cleaning, the water can be circulated back to the original inlet channel, and the drive mechanism drives the first ball valve and the second ball valve to move again to open another channel for cleaning again, so as to achieve the effect of circulation cleaning and graded cleaning. This makes the filling head not require manual disassembly and the cleaning discharge is high.

[0024] 2. The cleaning device for this filling machine has two sets of inlet pipes and an upper flow pipe installed at the top and bottom of the main body of the diversion pipe. When the circulation pumping device is started, the first ball valve and the second ball valve are driven to different positions by the drive mechanism, so that one of the inlet pipes is opened and the other side moves to the pipe opening of the other set of inlet pipes to close it. In this way, during pumping, the water in the water storage tank and the corresponding inlet pipe opening cooperate to transport the cleaning water to the cleaning pipe. During circulation, the water flows back to the original water storage area. When further cleaning is required, the positions of the first ball valve and the second ball valve are reversed, so that the pipe opening of the inlet pipe at the second ball valve is opened, so that the cleaning water is transported to the cleaning pipe for secondary cleaning in the second water storage area, thereby achieving circulation cleaning and efficient cleaning effect.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The filling machine cleaning device in this embodiment includes a water storage device 1. A circulation pumping device 2 is installed on the top of the water storage device 1. A bidirectional guide pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the input end of the circulation pumping device 2. A diversion component 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bidirectional guide pipe 3. A drive mechanism 5 is installed inside the diversion component 4. A first ball valve 6 and a second ball valve 7 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the drive mechanism 5. A cleaning pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the circulation pumping device 2. A rubber sleeve 9 is installed at the end of the cleaning pipe 8. An elastic fixing component 10 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 9. By activating the drive mechanism 5, the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 are driven to... The diversion component 4 moves laterally inside, which opens one of the water inlets while closing the other. At the same time, the circulation pumping device 2 is activated and generates suction to pump the initial cleaning water from the water storage device 1 into the cleaning pipe 8. After pressurization, the water is delivered to the filling head for cleaning. The cleaned water can then be circulated back to the original inlet channel. The drive mechanism 5 then drives the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 to move and open another channel for cleaning again. This achieves a cyclical and graded cleaning effect, making the filling head more efficient and eliminating the need for manual disassembly.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diversion assembly 4 includes a diversion pipe body 401. An inlet pipe 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the diversion pipe body 401, and an upper flow pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the diversion pipe body 401. Two sets of both the inlet pipe 402 and the upper flow pipe 403 are provided. By setting two sets of inlet pipes 402 and upper flow pipes 403 at the top and bottom of the diversion pipe body 401 respectively, when the circulation pumping device 2 is started, the drive mechanism 5 drives the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 to move to different positions, so that one of the inlet pipes 402 is opened. On the other side, the valve moves to the opening of another set of inlet pipes 402 and closes it. In this way, when pumping, the water in the water storage tank 101 cooperates with the inlet pipes 402 corresponding to the opening to transport the cleaning water to the cleaning pipe 8. When circulating back, the water flows back to the original water storage area. When further cleaning is required, the positions of the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 are reversed, so that the opening of the inlet pipe 402 at the second ball valve 7 is opened. This cooperates with the second water storage area to transport the cleaning water to the cleaning pipe 8 for secondary cleaning, thereby achieving circulating cleaning and efficient cleaning effect.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 501, a rotating shaft 502 fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 501, and a threaded shaft 503 fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating shaft 502. The first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 are both threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded shaft 503. A waterproof sleeve 504 is fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating shaft 502. By starting the motor 501, the rotating shaft 502 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the threaded shaft 503 to rotate. When it rotates, it simultaneously drives the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 to move in the same direction. This allows the first ball valve 6 to open the inlet channel of one of the inlet pipes 402, while the second ball valve 7 moves forward to the inlet of the other inlet pipe 402 to close it. This reciprocating motion provides displacement driving force for the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7, enabling them to automatically perform intermittent closing.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The elastic fixing component 10 includes an elastic fixing ring 1011, with a spring 1012 inside the elastic fixing ring 1011. A bolt 1013 is threaded onto the outer surface of the elastic fixing ring 1011. When the filling head needs to be cleaned, the rubber sleeve 9 at the end of the cleaning tube 8 is connected to the filling head, and the bolt 1013 is rotated to gradually lock the elastic fixing ring 1011. This allows the cleaning tube 8 to be fixed to the filling head, and the rubber sleeve 9 provides an elastic connection to the filling head, preventing wear at the connection point.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cleaning device for the filling machine connects the rubber sleeve 9 at the end of the cleaning pipe 8 to the filling head, and gradually locks the elastic fixing ring 1011 with the rotating bolt 1013. This allows the cleaning pipe 8 to be fixed to the filling head, and the rubber sleeve 9 provides an elastic connection to the filling head, preventing wear at the connection point. The motor 501, in conjunction with the threaded shaft 503, provides reciprocating driving force to the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7. When the motor rotates, it simultaneously drives the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 to move in the same direction, so that when one water inlet channel is open, the other is closed. Two sets of limiting baffles 404 form two blocking spaces inside the diversion pipe body 401, preventing water from flowing from one side of the inlet channel to the other, thus preventing mixing and contamination of the cleaning water. This reciprocating motion provides displacement driving force to the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7, enabling them to automatically perform intermittent closing. The circulation pump is then activated. The internal suction force generated by the pump 201 is used to pump the cleaning water into the upper pipe 403 in conjunction with the inlet pipe 402. The inlet pipe 402, which is in conjunction with the opening of the pipe, transports the cleaning water from one of the water storage areas to the cleaning pipe 8. During circulation, the water flows back to the original water storage area. When further cleaning is required, the positions of the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 are reversed, which closes the opening of the opposite inlet pipe 402. This allows the circulating pump 201 to transport the cleaning water from the second water storage area to the cleaning pipe 8 for secondary cleaning, thereby achieving circulating cleaning and efficient cleaning.

[0037] It should be noted that...

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0039] When the filling head needs to be cleaned, the rubber sleeve 9 at the end of the cleaning tube 8 is connected to the filling head. The bolt 1013 is rotated to gradually lock the elastic retaining ring 1011, thus fixing the cleaning tube 8 to the filling head. The motor 501 is started to drive the rotating shaft 502 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded shaft 503 to rotate. When it rotates, it simultaneously drives the first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 to move in the same direction. This causes the first ball valve 6 to open the inlet channel of one of the inlet pipes 402, while the second ball valve 7 moves to the inlet of the other inlet pipe 402 to close it, and is blocked inside the diversion pipe body 401 by the limiting baffle 404. Two inlet and return channels are formed. By starting the circulation pump 201, the internal suction force is generated, which, together with the inlet pipe 402 opened on one side, pumps the cleaning water into the upper pipe 403. The water is then transported to the cleaning pipe 8 through the bidirectional guide pipe 3. After the initial cleaning is completed, the circulation pump 201 is started again, which causes the cleaning water to flow back from the cleaning pipe 8 to the original inlet pipe 402. The first ball valve 6 and the second ball valve 7 move again, which causes the first ball valve 6 to reset and the second ball valve 7 to open the other inlet pipe 402. Together with the circulation pump 201, the water in the second area of ​​the water storage tank 101 is pumped into the cleaning pipe 8 for cleaning again. This process is repeated to form an automatic circulating cleaning process.
