[0005] The temporary storage component includes a temporary storage tank and a feeding pipeline. The feeding pipeline is connected to the temporary storage tank, and the output end of the feeding pipeline is connected to the other inlet of a three-way solenoid valve. The three-way solenoid valve is used to switch the feeding of materials between the storage tank and the temporary storage tank.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This tomato base filling system effectively avoids production interruptions caused by material replenishment or equipment maintenance in traditional filling systems by using a storage tank and a temporary storage tank, and an alternating supply of material between the two via a three-way solenoid valve. During normal production, the storage tank continuously supplies tomato base to the filling equipment. When the material in the storage tank is nearly depleted or needs cleaning or maintenance, the system can quickly switch to the temporary storage tank. Because the temporary storage tank is pre-stocked with sufficient tomato base through a replenishment pipeline, this switching process can be completed in a very short time, with almost no impact on the filling operation, achieving continuous and stable operation of the filling process and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a tomato base filling system, including: a filling component, the filling component including a storage tank 1, a feeding pipe 2 and a three-way solenoid valve 3, the bottom of the storage tank 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 4, the feeding pipe 2 is provided at the output end of the discharge pipe 4, and the output end of the feeding pipe 2 is connected to any inlet of the three-way solenoid valve 3.

[0026] The temporary storage component includes a temporary storage tank 5 and a feeding pipe 6. The feeding pipe 6 is connected to the temporary storage tank 5, and the output end of the feeding pipe 6 is connected to the other inlet of the three-way solenoid valve 3. The three-way solenoid valve 3 is used to switch the material storage tank 1 and the temporary storage tank 5 to alternately supply materials.

[0027] In this embodiment, the storage tank 1 is the initial storage container for the tomato base material, and the discharge pipe 4 at the bottom transports the material to the guide pipe 2. The guide pipe 2 serves as a material transfer channel, and its output end is connected to any inlet of the three-way solenoid valve 3. When the system is running, the tomato base material in the storage tank 1, under the action of gravity or external pressure, enters the guide pipe 2 through the discharge pipe 4 and then flows to the three-way solenoid valve 3.

[0028] It should be noted that the aforementioned three-way solenoid valve 3 is the core control component, consisting of an electromagnet, valve body, adjusting spring, diaphragm, etc., which are well-known technical means to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. When the electromagnet is stimulated by an electrical signal, it generates a magnetic field, attracting the iron core in the pipeline, thereby changing the position of the orifice in the valve body and controlling the flow and direction of the fluid. By controlling the energization state of the electromagnet in the three-way solenoid valve 3, the connection or disconnection between the storage tank 1 and the subsequent filling path can be realized.

[0029] In this embodiment, the temporary storage tank 5 is connected to the other inlet of the three-way solenoid valve 3 via a replenishment pipe 6. The replenishment pipe 6 is used to transport the tomato base material in the temporary storage tank 5 to the three-way solenoid valve 3. The temporary storage tank 5 serves as a material reserve, and can be replenished in a timely manner when the material in the storage tank 1 is insufficient or when maintenance is required.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the storage tank 1 includes a tank body 101 and a cover 102. The cover 102 covers the opening of the tank body 101, and the cover 102 and the tank body 101 are connected by bolts.

[0031] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned main body for storing tomato base material is made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its shape is typically cylindrical, which maximizes space utilization and accommodates more tomato base material while ensuring structural stability. The interior of the tank 101 is smooth, reducing material residue and facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lid 102 matches the shape of the opening of the can 101. Its design aims to seal the can 101, preventing external impurities, dust, and moisture from entering, thus ensuring the hygiene, safety, and quality stability of the tomato base. The lid 102 is also made of a material compatible with the can 101, ensuring sealing and structural strength. By rotating the nut, the friction of the threads causes the nut to move along the screw, gradually tightening it. As the nut tightens, a tight connection is formed between the lid 102 and the can 101, achieving a sealing effect. It should be noted that the lid 102 and the can 101 are tightly connected by bolts, and the resulting sealing structure effectively prevents external air, dust, microorganisms, etc., from entering the can. For food materials like tomato base, good sealing performance can prevent contamination, extend its shelf life, and ensure the hygiene, safety, and quality stability of the product.

[0033] In addition, during the production of tomato base material, the storage tank 1 needs to be cleaned regularly to remove residual materials and impurities and prevent cross-contamination. The cover 102 can be easily removed by loosening the nut, exposing the interior of the tank 101 for thorough cleaning by operators. After cleaning, the cover 102 is reinstalled and the bolts tightened; the operation is simple and quick.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the tank 101 includes a straight cylindrical portion 1011 and a conical portion 1012, with the straight cylindrical portion 1011 disposed on the conical portion 1012 and the input end of the material guide pipe 2 disposed at the bottom of the conical portion 1012.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cylindrical section 1011 is the main body of the tank 101, and adopts a regular cylindrical structure. Its diameter and height are designed according to the storage capacity of the tomato base material and the requirements of the production process. The regular shape facilitates processing and manufacturing, ensuring the stability and strength of the overall structure of the tank 101, and can withstand the internal materials and possible external pressure. The inner wall of the cylindrical section 1011 is smooth, reducing material residue during storage and facilitating subsequent cleaning. The aforementioned conical section 1012 is connected below the cylindrical section 1011 and has a hemispherical cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Under the action of gravity, the tomato base material falls naturally from the cylindrical section 1011 to the conical section 1012. As the inner wall of the conical section 1012 gradually contracts, the flow space of the material continuously decreases, and the flow velocity of the material in the conical section 1012 gradually increases.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the opening of the can 101 is provided with a groove for accommodating the sealing strip 7, and the cover 102 can abut against the sealing strip 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, the groove at the opening of the can 101 is shaped and sized to match the sealing strip 7. The groove is annular and surrounds the opening of the can 101, providing a stable installation position for the sealing strip 7 and ensuring that the sealing strip 7 can be accurately and firmly embedded therein.

[0038] When the sealing strip 7 is installed, it is embedded along the shape of the groove. The sidewalls of the groove restrict and position the sealing strip 7, preventing it from shifting or falling off during use of the tank 101. Simultaneously, the bottom of the groove provides support for the sealing strip 7, allowing it to maintain its shape and elasticity, thus better fulfilling its sealing function.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the material guide pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 4 are connected by a flange 8.

[0040] In this embodiment, the flange 8 connection is fastened with bolts, which can withstand high pressure and temperature, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the feed pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 4. During the production of tomato base material, the material may need to be heated or pressurized; the flange 8 connection can adapt to these operating conditions, ensuring the normal operation of the pipeline system.

[0041] Vibration may occur during equipment operation. The structure of the flange 8 connection can better resist the effects of vibration, maintain the tightness of the pipeline connection, and avoid loosening or leakage due to vibration.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the storage tank 1 is provided with a liquid level component 9, which is used to obtain the liquid level height of the tomato base material in the storage tank 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the liquid level component 9 is a transparent tube. The central axis of the transparent tube is parallel to the central axis of the storage tank 1. According to the principle of communicating vessels, which will not be elaborated here, the liquid level height in the transparent tube is the liquid level height in the storage tank 1. This allows the user to adjust and switch the material output in the temporary storage tank 5 according to the material level in the storage tank 1. When the material output in the storage tank 1 is finished, the temporary storage tank 5 is controlled to output raw materials. At this time, the material is replenished in the storage tank 1, which makes it convenient to replenish the material directly after the material is put into the temporary storage tank 5, thus improving the convenience of material replenishment.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of this example, the storage tank 1 is provided with a self-cleaning component. The self-cleaning component includes a water supply pipe 10 extending into the storage tank 1 and a plurality of nozzles 11, which are evenly spaced on the water supply pipe 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, one end of the water supply pipe 10 is connected to an external water source. When the self-cleaning program is activated, clean water from the external water source is delivered to the storage tank 1 through the water supply pipe 10. The water supply pipe 10 provides a continuous water flow to the nozzles 11, ensuring that the cleaning work can proceed smoothly. Several nozzles 11, evenly spaced on the water supply pipe 10, use the pressure of the water flow to spray clean water at a certain angle and force onto the inner wall, bottom, and other parts of the storage tank 1. The nozzles 11 at different positions can cover all corners of the storage tank 1, and the water flow washes the tank wall and bottom, peeling off the tomato base residue, dirt, and other substances attached to them from the surface of the tank 101.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
