Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine technology, and in particular to an automatic filling machine for health food slices. Background Technology
[0002] As a traditional health and wellness product, health food slices have seen continuous market demand growth in recent years, making the automation level of their production and processing a major concern. Automatic filling machines for health food slices have emerged as a key piece of equipment for achieving large-scale, standardized production. They are primarily used to accurately and quantitatively fill various types of health food slices into packaging containers, and in actual production, typically involve the following key parts:
[0003] 1. Hopper: Used to store health food slices to be filled. It is mostly made of stainless steel and has good sealing properties to prevent the slices from getting damp or contaminated, while ensuring smooth material feeding.
[0004] 2. Metering structure: The quantity of medicinal slices in each filling is precisely controlled by weighing or volumetric metering methods to ensure the consistency of product dosage and meet quality standard requirements;
[0005] 3. Filling mechanism: This is the part that directly completes the filling task. Its core component is the filling head. Traditional filling heads usually have a fixed discharge diameter and lack effective anti-clogging design.
[0006] Currently, to meet the filling needs of health food slices, many manufacturers have developed different types of filling machines. Some manufacturers use single-specification filling machines to produce a specific type or a specific packaging size of health food slices. Other manufacturers have attempted to improve the equipment's versatility by adopting designs with easily interchangeable filling heads, but these are cumbersome to operate and time-consuming.
[0007] However, the above-mentioned implementation methods still have many problems to be solved. In terms of the flexibility of the filling head, due to the wide variety of health food slices and their diverse packaging forms, the filling head with a fixed discharge diameter is difficult to adapt to different needs. It is easy for the product to overflow or spill during the filling process due to the unsuitable size of the filling head. When using a fixed filling head, if it is necessary to change the packaging specifications or fill different forms of slices, it may be necessary to replace the filling head. Replacing the filling head will take a lot of time to adjust, which not only increases costs but also reduces production efficiency. In addition, most filling machines have limited anti-clogging designs and mostly rely on the characteristics of the material itself and manual cleaning, which is not very effective. Once a blockage occurs, the filling process is forced to be interrupted, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, which seriously affects production efficiency. In response to these problems, this application proposes an innovative solution: designing an automatic filling machine for health food slices that can flexibly switch between different discharge diameters of filling heads and has a built-in effective anti-clogging structure. This filling machine has strong versatility, high filling efficiency, and stable product quality, and can effectively meet the diverse production needs of health food slices. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic filling machine for health food slices. It solves the problems that due to the wide variety of types and packaging forms of health food slices, filling heads with fixed discharge diameters are difficult to adapt to different needs, and most filling machines have limited anti-clogging designs, relying mainly on the characteristics of the materials themselves and manual cleaning, resulting in poor performance.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0010] An automatic filling machine for health food slices includes a filling machine body, which includes a worktable, a conveyor belt, and a feeding mechanism. A set of filling heads for discharging is arranged in front of the feeding mechanism. A rotating connecting ring is rotatably connected to the lower surface of each filling head. A set of stirring rods for stirring is fixedly connected inside each connecting ring. A connecting rod is arranged above the set of filling heads. A conveying pipe for conveying materials is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the feeding mechanism. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveying pipe. A limiting post for limiting movement is movably sleeved inside the fixing block. A return spring for resetting is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting post away from the connecting rod. Each set of filling heads communicates with the conveying pipe. Two connecting blocks are fixedly connected between the set of filling heads. A support rod for support is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each of the two connecting blocks. During movement, the limiting post will disengage from a set of circular grooves on the connecting rod, opening the limiting position. At this time, the set of filling heads can move left and right, selecting the appropriate filling head for discharging as needed.
[0011] Preferably, the lower surfaces of the two support rods are fixedly connected with limiting blocks for positioning. The rear surface of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected with a connecting plate. The rear surface of the connecting plate has a limiting groove, which is movably connected to the two limiting blocks. The side of the connecting rod facing the fixed block has a set of circular grooves, which are movably sleeved with the limiting posts. The side of the fixed block facing the connecting rod has a second circular groove, which is movably sleeved with the limiting posts. The inner wall of the second circular groove has a slot. The annular side of the limiting post is fixedly connected with a handle, which is movably connected to the slot. The return spring is fixedly connected to the second circular groove. By flexibly switching between filling heads of different diameters, it can adapt to filling containers of different sizes, avoiding product overflow or spillage during the filling process due to unsuitable filling head size.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting rod has two supports fixedly connected to the side away from the fixed block. The two supports are fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks respectively. Each connecting ring has a limit ring fixedly connected to its upper surface. A set of limit rings is rotatably connected to a set of filling heads respectively. Each connecting ring has a set of anti-slip strips fixedly connected to its annular side. As the rotation proceeds, the accumulated material is also stirred and dispersed, thus allowing for smoother material discharge.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. Select the appropriate filling head according to the requirements for dispensing. After aligning the selected filling head with the conveying pipe, the limiting post will be reset by the elastic force of the return spring and engage with the connecting rod. At this time, a set of filling heads is fixed relative to the conveying pipe, making it convenient to use. By flexibly switching between filling heads of different diameters, it can adapt to filling containers of different sizes, avoiding product overflow or spillage during the filling process due to unsuitable filling head size, thereby ensuring the accuracy and quality of filling and meeting the needs of use.
[0015] 2. By rotating the connecting ring, a set of agitators fixed inside it will rotate together. The set of agitators is designed in an L-shape and is triangularly distributed to fit the material. As the rotation proceeds, the accumulated material is also agitated and dispersed, so that the material can be discharged more smoothly. The solution to the blockage problem and the improvement of material flowability enable the filling process to proceed continuously and stably, reducing the number of downtimes and restarts caused by blockages and improving filling efficiency.

[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that due to the wide variety of health food slices and diverse packaging forms, filling heads with fixed discharge diameters are difficult to adapt to different needs, most filling machines have limited anti-clogging designs, and mostly rely on the characteristics of the materials themselves and manual cleaning, resulting in poor performance. The overall idea is as follows:
[0025] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic filling machine for health food slices, including a filling machine body. The filling machine body includes a worktable 1, a conveyor belt 2, and a feeding mechanism 3. A set of filling heads 5 for discharging material is arranged in front of the feeding mechanism 3. A connecting ring 6 for rotation is rotatably connected to the lower surface of each filling head 5. A set of stirring rods 21 for stirring is fixedly connected inside each connecting ring 6. A connecting rod 8 is arranged above the set of filling heads 5. A material conveying mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the feeding mechanism 3. A conveying pipe 4 has a fixed block 9 fixedly connected to its surface. A limiting post 17 for limiting movement is movably sleeved inside the fixed block 9. A reset spring 15 for resetting is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting post 17 away from the connecting rod 8. A set of filling heads 5 are all connected to the conveying pipe 4. Two connecting blocks 20 are fixedly connected between the filling heads 5. Support rods 10 for support are fixedly connected to the lower surface of each of the two connecting blocks 20. During use, the material is stored in the hopper, and the medicinal slices are evenly fed in according to the set flow rate by a screw propeller. The material is conveyed and finally filled into packaging containers such as bags and bottles through the filling head 5, completing the filling process. During discharging, the appropriate filling head 5 can be flexibly switched according to the size and diameter of the packaging bags, bottles, and other containers. By pushing the handle 16 backward, the limiting post 17 fixed to it moves together, compressing the return spring 15. During the movement, the limiting post 17 will disengage from the set of circular grooves 7 opened on the connecting rod 8, opening the limit. At this time, a set of filling heads 5 can move left and right as needed. Select the appropriate filling head 5 for dispensing. After aligning the selected filling head 5 with the conveying pipe 4, the limiting post 17 will be reset by the elastic force of the return spring 15 and engage with the connecting rod 8. At this time, a set of filling heads 5 is fixed relative to the conveying pipe 4, making it convenient to use. By flexibly switching between filling heads 5 of different diameters, it can adapt to filling containers of different sizes, avoiding product overflow or spillage during the filling process due to unsuitable filling head 5 size, thereby ensuring the accuracy and quality of filling and meeting the usage requirements.
[0026] Both support rods 10 have fixed limit blocks 11 for limiting their position on their lower surfaces. A connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the conveyor belt 2. A limit groove 12 is formed on the rear surface of the connecting plate 13, and the limit groove 12 is movably connected to the two limit blocks 11. A set of circular grooves 7 is formed on the side of the connecting rod 8 facing the fixed block 9. The set of circular grooves 7 is movably sleeved with the limit post 17. A circular groove 18 is formed on the side of the fixed block 9 facing the connecting rod 8. The circular groove 18 is movably sleeved with the limit post 17. A slot 14 is formed on the inner wall of the circular groove 18. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to the annular side of the limit post 17. The handle 16 is movably connected to the slot 14. A return spring 15 is fixedly connected to the circular groove 18. Two supports 19 are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 8 away from the fixed block 9. Two brackets 19 are fixedly connected to two connecting blocks 20 respectively. Each connecting ring 6 has a limiting ring 22 fixedly connected to its upper surface. A set of limiting rings 22 are rotatably connected to a set of filling heads 5 respectively. Each connecting ring 6 has a set of anti-slip strips fixedly connected to its annular side. When too much material is added at once, blockage is likely to occur. When blockage occurs, rotating the connecting ring 6 will drive a set of stirring rods 21 fixed inside it to rotate together. The set of stirring rods 21 is L-shaped and triangularly distributed to fit the material. As the rotation proceeds, the accumulated material is also stirred and dispersed, thus making the discharge smoother. The solution to the blockage problem and the improvement of material flowability enable the filling process to proceed continuously and stably, reducing the number of shutdowns and restarts caused by blockages and improving filling efficiency.

[0049] Working principle:
[0050] During dispensing, the appropriate filling head 5 can be flexibly switched according to the size and diameter of the packaging bags, bottles, and other containers. By pushing the handle 16 backward, the fixed limiting post 17 moves together, compressing the return spring 15. During the movement, the limiting post 17 disengages from the set of circular grooves 7 on the connecting rod 8, opening the limit. At this time, a set of filling heads 5 can move left and right. The appropriate filling head 5 can be selected for dispensing according to the needs. After aligning the selected filling head 5 with the conveying pipe 4, the limiting post 17 will be reset by the elastic force of the return spring 15 and engage with the connecting rod 8. At this time, a set of filling heads 5 is fixed relative to the conveying pipe 4. The whole operation is convenient and can be flexibly switched between different diameters. The filling head 5 can adapt to filling containers of different sizes, avoiding product overflow or spillage during the filling process due to an unsuitable filling head size, thus ensuring filling accuracy and quality and meeting usage needs. When too much material is added at once, blockage can easily occur. When blockage occurs, rotating the connecting ring 6 drives a set of agitators 21 fixed inside to rotate together. The set of agitators 21 has an L-shaped design and is triangularly distributed to fit the material. As the rotation proceeds, the accumulated material is also agitated and dispersed, thus allowing for smoother material discharge. The solution to the blockage problem and the improvement of material flowability enable the filling process to proceed continuously and stably, reducing the number of downtimes and restarts caused by blockages and improving filling efficiency.
