Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ethanol production technology, specifically to an anhydrous ethanol filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Ethanol disinfectant mainly consists of 75% ethanol. Ethanol is a colorless and transparent liquid with good bactericidal effect. It is miscible with water in any proportion and is easily volatile and flammable. During the production process, the finished disinfectant needs to be packaged into containers for sale. Filling equipment is usually used to fill the disinfectant.

[0003] According to CN219429690U, an anhydrous ethanol filling device is disclosed. This technology discloses "an anhydrous ethanol filling device, including a base, a vertical plate, and a support plate. An ethanol bottle is movably mounted above two of the support plates. The two ethanol bottles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vertical plate. Two extension plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the vertical plate." It has the following technical advantages: "By turning a rotating wheel, the rotating wheel drives the worm gear at the lower end to rotate. A worm groove block is engaged with the outer side of the worm gear. The rotating worm gear pushes the engaged worm groove block to slide downwards. The worm groove block drives the protective covers on both sides to slide downwards, covering the anhydrous ethanol bottle during filling to prevent the anhydrous ethanol from evaporating. The filling situation of the anhydrous ethanol inside the bottle can be observed through the observation glass. Then, the filling work is stopped. The protective covers reduce the evaporation of anhydrous ethanol during filling, thereby allowing ethanol to be filled into the ethanol bottle more quickly, ultimately saving the cost of the anhydrous ethanol filling device."

[0004] After the liquid filling is completed, the open container needs to be transferred to another separate station for capping. This step-by-step process means that the container must remain open from filling to capping, which inevitably exposes the ethanol to the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content
