Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milk powder filling, specifically a filling device for the production and preparation of animal formula milk powder. Background Technology

[0002] Animal formula milk powder is a special milk powder product that is scientifically formulated and processed according to the nutritional needs of different animals. It is designed to provide comprehensive and appropriate nutritional support for animal cubs, sick or weak animals that cannot directly consume breast milk or need additional nutritional supplementation. It covers a variety of key nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and can effectively meet the nutritional intake needs of animals at specific growth stages or under special physiological conditions.

[0003] In the production process of animal formula milk powder, the filling process is a crucial step. Typically, to ensure that the amount of milk powder inside the can accurately meets the specified requirements, a staged filling method is adopted. First, a rough filling is performed, in which a large-flow filling device is used to quickly inject milk powder into the packaging container to bring the amount of milk powder close to the target value. Then, a fine filling is performed, in which a more precise filling device is used to fine-tune the amount of milk powder, accurately controlling the amount of milk powder added. This ensures that the amount of milk powder in each package strictly meets the production standards, thereby achieving a high degree of consistency and stability in product quality.

[0004] During the initial filling process of milk powder, when milk powder is poured into the container at a high flow rate, some of the milk powder will float. In order to prevent the milk powder from floating out of the container, the staff usually cover the top of the container with a set of cover plates with filter holes to prevent the milk powder from floating out of the container. However, when the gas inside the container passes through the filter holes, it will adhere to the surface of the filter holes, causing the filter holes to become blocked. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a filling device for the production and preparation of animal formula milk powder, so as to solve the technical problem that the gas inside the container during the filling process carries milk powder particles and adheres to the surface of the filter pores, causing filter pore blockage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filling device for the production and preparation of animal formula milk powder, comprising a filling barrel and a cover plate. The bottom of the filling barrel is connected to a flexible tube, and a connecting pipe is installed at the end of the flexible tube. The end of the connecting pipe is fixed to the cover plate, and a milk powder can is provided on the top of the cover plate. Two sets of air holes are opened on the top of the cover plate, and filter sheets are installed at the bottom of the air holes. Two sets of sealing plates are installed inside the connecting pipe. One end of the sealing plate is connected to a drive rod, and a cleaning rod is movably connected to the end of the drive rod. A collision ball is provided at the end of the cleaning rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem of milk powder particles being carried by gas inside the container and adhering to the filter pore surface during the milk powder filling process is solved. When the milk powder flows into the connecting tube, the sealing plate will flip downwards and open due to the weight of the milk powder, and the rotation of the drive rod will pull the cleaning rod, causing the collision ball to move away from the filter. When the milk powder filling is completed, the spring in the stretched state will pull the sealing plate back to the initial position, and the drive rod will push the cleaning rod to one side, so that the collision ball connected to the end of the cleaning rod will squeeze the filter. The filter will vibrate due to the squeezing of the collision ball, causing the milk powder adhering to the filter to shake off.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that an adjusting plate is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting pipe, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed at the end of the adjusting plate, and the hose can be extended.

[0009] Preferably, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the connecting pipe downwards via an adjusting plate, and the extendable hose extends and stretches as the connecting pipe descends until the cover plate covers the top of the milk powder can.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a spring is installed on the top of the sealing plate, and one end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, during the flipping process of the sealing plate, the sealing plate stretches the spring. When the milk powder filling is completed, the stretched spring pulls the sealing plate back to its initial position, so that the sealing plate seals the connecting pipe again.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing plate is semi-circular, and a fixing rod is fixed to the end of the sealing plate.

[0013] Preferably, two sets of semi-circular sealing plates seal the inside of the connecting pipe. When the sealing plates are flipped, they rotate around the fixed rod as the center.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a limit rod is fixed to the inner wall of the cover plate, and a sliding groove is provided inside the cleaning rod.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting rod is fixed to the inner wall of the cover plate, and the limiting rod limits the sliding of the cleaning rod.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the collision ball is made of silicone material, and the diameter of the collision ball is smaller than the diameter of the filter.

[0017] Preferably, when the sealing plate flips and resets, the cleaning rod will drive the collision ball to strike the filter, causing the filter to vibrate.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the filter sheet has elastic deformation characteristics, and a fixing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the filter sheet.

[0019] Preferably, the retaining ring secures the filter disc at the port of the air vent, and the retaining ring helps the filter disc maintain a stretched and straight state.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the cover plate is concave and the inner wall end of the cover plate is inclined.

[0021] Preferably, when the lid is moved to the top of the milk powder can, the concave lid will wrap around and cover the top of the milk powder can, thereby sealing the milk powder can.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0023] 1. This utility model solves the problem of milk powder particles being carried by gas inside the container and adhering to the filter pore surface during the milk powder filling process by setting up a can, cover, sealing plate, filter, drive rod, and cleaning rod. When the milk powder flows into the connecting pipe, the sealing plate will flip down and open due to the weight of the milk powder, and the rotation of the drive rod will pull the cleaning rod, causing the collision ball to move away from the filter. When the milk powder filling is completed, the spring in the stretched state will pull the sealing plate back to the initial position, and the drive rod will push the cleaning rod to one side, so that the collision ball connected to the end of the cleaning rod will squeeze the filter. The filter vibrates due to the squeezing of the collision ball, causing the milk powder adhering to the filter to shake off.

[0024] 2. This utility model, by setting a cover plate, filter sheet, fixing ring and air hole, seals the milk powder can during the milk powder filling process, preventing milk powder particles from floating out of the milk powder can. The gas in the sealed milk powder can will generate a swirling airflow. Therefore, an air hole is opened at the top of the cover plate so that the gas in the milk powder can quickly settle. A set of filter sheets is installed at the port of the air hole to filter the gas flowing out of the air hole, reducing the waste caused by milk powder flowing out of the milk powder can with the gas.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 5 The system includes a filling container 1 and a cover plate 3. A flexible hose 101 is connected to the bottom of the filling container 1, and a connecting pipe 301 is installed at the end of the flexible hose 101. A cover plate 3 is fixed to the end of the connecting pipe 301. A milk powder container 7 is mounted on the top of the cover plate 3. Two sets of air holes 402 are opened on the top of the cover plate 3, and filter sheets 4 are installed at the bottom of the air holes 402. Two sets of sealing plates 5 are installed inside the connecting pipe 301. A drive rod 603 is connected to one end of each sealing plate 5, and a cleaning rod 6 is movably connected to the end of the drive rod 603. A collision ball 604 is provided at the end of the cleaning rod 6. This system solves the problem of milk powder contamination during the filling process. The gas inside the container carries milk powder particles that adhere to the filter pores, causing blockage. When the milk powder flows into the connecting pipe 301, the sealing plate 5 flips open downwards due to the weight of the milk powder, and the rotation of the drive rod 603 pulls the cleaning rod 6, causing the collision ball 604 to move away from the filter plate 4. When the milk powder is filled, the spring 501, which is under tension, pulls the sealing plate 5 back to its initial position. The drive rod 603 pushes the cleaning rod 6 to one side, causing the collision ball 604 connected to the end of the cleaning rod 6 to squeeze the filter plate 4. The filter plate 4 vibrates due to the squeezing of the collision ball 604, causing the milk powder adhering to the filter plate 4 to shake off.

[0035] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1An adjusting plate 201 is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 301. A hydraulic cylinder 2 is installed at the end of the adjusting plate 201. The hose 101 can be extended and elongated. The hydraulic cylinder 2 pushes the connecting pipe 301 downward through the adjusting plate 201, and the extendable hose 101 extends and elongates as the connecting pipe 301 descends until the cover plate 3 covers the top of the milk powder can 7.

[0036] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 A spring 501 is installed on the top of the sealing plate 5. One end of the spring 501 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 301. During the flipping process of the sealing plate 5, the sealing plate 5 will stretch the spring 501. When the milk powder is filled, the spring 501 in the stretched state will pull the sealing plate 5 back to the initial position, so that the sealing plate 5 will seal the connecting pipe 301 again.

[0037] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The sealing plate 5 is set as a semi-circle, and a fixing rod 502 is fixed to the end of the sealing plate 5. The two sets of semi-circular sealing plates 5 seal the inside of the connecting pipe 301. When the sealing plate 5 is flipped, the sealing plate 5 will rotate around the fixing rod 502 as the center.

[0038] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The inner wall of the cover plate 3 is fixed with a limiting rod 602, and the cleaning rod 6 has a sliding groove 601 inside. The limiting rod 602 is fixed on the inner wall of the cover plate 3, and the limiting rod 602 limits the sliding of the cleaning rod 6.

[0039] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The collision ball 604 is made of silicone material. The diameter of the collision ball 604 is smaller than the diameter of the filter plate 4. When the sealing plate 5 flips and resets, the cleaning rod 6 will drive the collision ball 604 to strike the filter plate 4, causing the filter plate 4 to vibrate.

[0040] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The filter 4 has elastic deformation characteristics. A fixing ring 401 is sleeved on the outer wall of the filter 4. The fixing ring 401 fixes the filter 4 at the port of the air hole 402 and can help the filter 4 maintain a stretched and straight state.

[0041] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The cover plate 3 is concave and the inner wall end of the cover plate 3 is inclined. When the cover plate 3 moves to the top of the milk powder can 7, the concave cover plate 3 will wrap around and cover the top of the milk powder can 7, thereby sealing the milk powder can 7.

[0042] In practical operation: the hydraulic cylinder 2 pushes the connecting pipe 301 downwards via the adjusting plate 201, and the extendable hose 101 extends and stretches as the connecting pipe 301 descends until the cover plate 3 covers the top of the milk powder can 7. The can 1 delivers a measured amount of milk powder through the hose 101 into the connecting pipe 301. The milk powder flowing into the connecting pipe 301 presses down on the sealing plate 5, causing the sealing plate 5 to flip downwards and open. During the flipping process of the sealing plate 5, the sealing plate 5 stretches the spring 501, and the drive rod 603 at the end of the sealing plate 5 rotates around the fixed rod 502. The rotation of the drive rod 603 will... The cleaning rod 6 is pulled, causing it to move along the limiting rod 602. The collision ball 604 at the end of the cleaning rod 6 moves away from the filter 4. The gas inside the milk powder can 7 is filtered by the filter 4 and flows out through the air hole 402, reducing the backflow of gas inside the milk powder can 7. When the milk powder is filled, the spring 501 in the stretched state pulls the sealing plate 5 back to its initial position. During the process of the sealing plate 5 returning to its original position, the drive rod 603 pushes the cleaning rod 6 to move to one side. When the end of the sliding groove 601 on the cleaning rod 6 contacts the limiting rod 602, the collision ball 604 connected to the end of the cleaning rod 6 will squeeze the filter 4, causing the filter 4 to deform.
