[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a quantitative filling device for food canning, including a filling platform 1, an orientation adjustment mechanism 2, a filling mechanism 3, and two sets of support grooves 4 installed on the filling platform 1.

[0023] The orientation adjustment mechanism 2 consists of a turntable 21. The lower end of the turntable 21 is provided with a toothed cavity 211. The turntable 21 is connected to the adjustment motor 22 installed on the filling platform 1 through the toothed cavity 211 at the bottom. The output end of the adjustment motor 22 is equipped with a rotating tooth 221. The rotating tooth 221 is perfectly matched with the toothed cavity 211 at the bottom of the turntable 21. The two fit tightly together. In addition, four sets of placement cavities 212 are symmetrically distributed on the turntable 21 with its center as the reference. The filling mechanism 3 includes a material tank 31 and a discharge pipe 32 connected to the material tank 31. The discharge pipe 32 is directly opposite one of the placement cavities 212 of the turntable 21. Two sets of support grooves 4 are detachably mounted on the filling platform 1. One end of each set of support grooves 4 is provided with a limiting groove 41 for supporting and limiting the turntable 21.

[0024] During disassembly, since the outer thread at the bottom of the material cylinder 23 is compatible with the inner thread of the placement cavity 212, the material cylinder 23 can be unscrewed from the placement cavity 212 using an appropriate rotation method. The material cylinders 23 are removed one by one. Then, using a screwdriver or other tools, the connecting parts between the two sets of support grooves 4 and the filling table 1 are loosened, and the two sets of support grooves 4 are removed from the filling table 1. At this time, the turntable 21 is lifted upwards so that the toothed cavity 211 at the bottom of the turntable 21 separates from the rotating tooth 221 at the output end of the adjusting motor 22. This design structure is relatively simple and avoids the problems of high component integration and complex structure of the traditional orientation adjustment mechanism 2. When a fault occurs, troubleshooting and maintenance are easier, which can effectively shorten equipment downtime, reduce labor costs, and thus improve production efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The orientation adjustment mechanism 2 further includes four material cylinders 23, which are respectively installed in four sets of placement cavities 212 on the turntable 21. Furthermore, each of the four sets of material cylinders 23 is equipped with a weight detection sensor 24 for monitoring the weight of the material inside the material cylinder 23.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4The bottom outer ring of the barrel 23 is threaded, and the thread is compatible with the thread of the inner ring of the placement cavity 212 of the turntable 21. The barrel 23 can be detachably installed in the placement cavity 212 of the turntable 21 by means of thread engagement.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The filling mechanism 3 also includes a control box 33, which is used to control the working status of the discharge pipe 32.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The filling station 1 is also equipped with an auxiliary positioning mechanism 5. The auxiliary positioning mechanism 5 includes clamping cylinders 51 installed on the two side support grooves 4. The output ends of the two sets of clamping cylinders 51 are connected to clamping blocks 52. The clamping end face of the clamping block 52 is covered with rubber pads. During the process of the clamping cylinders 51 pushing the clamping block 52 to clamp the filling box, the rubber pads can play a buffering role to avoid excessive damage to the filling box.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The filling station 1 is also equipped with a controller 11, which can be electrically connected to the regulating motor 22, the control box 33, and the two sets of clamping cylinders 51 through PLC programming technology.

[0030] During debugging, firstly, according to the specific specifications and production requirements of the canned food, the PLC programming technology is used to set various parameters through the controller 11, and adjust the rotation angle and speed of the motor 22; the control box 33 is set to control the discharge amount and discharge time of the discharge pipe 32; the timing of the action and the clamping force of the clamping cylinder 51 of the auxiliary positioning mechanism 5 are set.

[0031] During operation, the controller 11 starts the regulating motor 22, and the rotating teeth 221 at the output end of the regulating motor 22 begin to rotate. Since the rotating teeth 221 are perfectly matched and tightly engaged with the tooth cavity 211 at the bottom of the turntable 21, the rotation of the rotating teeth 221 drives the turntable 21 to rotate synchronously. Four sets of placement cavities 212 are symmetrically distributed on the turntable 21 with its ring center as the reference. Each placement cavity 212 is equipped with a material cylinder 23. The filling box is placed in the material cylinder 23, and then the regulating motor 22 precisely controls the rotation angle of the turntable 21 according to the preset parameters, rotating the filling box in one set of material cylinders 23 to directly below the discharge pipe 32. The output end of the clamping cylinder 51 pushes the clamping block 52 to move towards the turntable 21. The clamping block 52 is tightly clamped by the rubber pads laid on its clamping end face. The filling box is clamped tightly, and then the controller 11 sends a command to the control box 33. The control box 33 opens the discharge port 32, and the food material in the material tank 31 flows into the material cylinder 23 directly below through the discharge port 32 under the action of gravity. At this time, the weight detection sensor 24 integrated inside the material cylinder 23 monitors the weight of the material in the material cylinder 23 in real time and feeds back the weight data to the controller 11. When the weight of the material in the material cylinder 23 reaches the preset filling amount, the controller 11 sends a signal to the control box 33, and the control box 33 immediately closes the discharge port 32 to stop the discharge of material, thereby achieving precise quantitative filling. It should be noted that the control of the discharge port 32 by the control box 33 is a mature technology in the field of industrial automation, so it will not be described in detail.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
