Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid filling equipment technology, and is particularly applicable to production lines that need to alternately complete the inner plug pressing and bottle cap pressing. Background Technology

[0002] Given the stringent sterility requirements of nursing care solutions, this product is manufactured using a completely aseptic process. After filling, the product will be sealed in a Class A laminar flow protection environment. Two sealing methods are used depending on the packaging specifications:

[0003] 1. Rubber stopper sealing system

[0004] 2. Sealing system

[0005] To ensure the sealing quality of products of different specifications, the factory needs to be equipped with two sets of specialized equipment: a rubber stopper sealing machine and a capping sealing machine. This process requirement necessitates initial investment:

[0006] - Double-sealed equipment system

[0007] - Matching clean laminar flow system

[0008] - Multi-specification parallel production line

[0009] While this configuration can meet the aseptic sealing requirements of various product specifications, it has high initial investment costs and occupies a large area. Summary of the Invention

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a filling station that combines stopper and capping, including a stopper vibrating plate, a capping vibrating plate, a rotating arm mechanical assembly, and a rotating disk. The stopper vibrating plate and the capping vibrating plate are used to supply inner stoppers and caps, respectively. The tail of the stopper vibrating plate and the capping vibrating plate are respectively provided with an inner stopper storage bin and a cap storage bin. The rotating arm mechanical assembly includes a column and a bracket. The bracket is fixedly installed at the upper end of the column, and suction heads are provided at both ends of the bracket. The rotating disk is located between the stopper vibrating plate and the capping vibrating plate, and the column is located on the side of the rotating disk closer to the stopper vibrating plate and the capping vibrating plate.

[0011] Preferably, the bracket has two suction heads at each end.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating disk has notches evenly distributed on its edge, and a support plate is provided at the bottom of the notches.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating disc is connected to the rear of the bottle unscrambler.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a container identification photoelectric detection sensor, which is used to identify whether the container is in place.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a seal identification photoelectric sensor, which is used to identify whether the seal is an inner plug or a screw cap.

[0016] Preferably, the bracket is arc-shaped.

[0017] This invention saves space and costs, has a small footprint, reduces equipment manufacturing costs, has low energy consumption and maintenance costs, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a filling station that combines a stopper and a capping mechanism according to this utility model.

[0020] In the diagram: 1: stopper vibrating plate; 2: bottle; 3: column; 4: support; 5: capping vibrating plate; 6: notch; 7: rotating plate; 8: suction head. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a filling station that combines stopper and capping, including a stopper vibrating plate 1, a capping vibrating plate 5, a rotary swing arm mechanical assembly, and a rotating disk 7. The stopper vibrating plate 1 and the capping vibrating plate 5 are used to supply inner stoppers and caps, respectively. The tail portions of the stopper vibrating plate 1 and the capping vibrating plate 5 are respectively provided with an inner stopper storage bin and a cap storage bin (this is prior art and will not be described in detail). The rotary swing arm mechanical assembly includes a column 3 and a bracket 4. The bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the column 3. The column 3 can move up and down under the drive of a cylinder and can also rotate around an axis. This structure includes an electric... The road diagrams are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The support 4 has suction heads 8 at both ends. In this embodiment, two suction heads 8 are provided on each side. The suction heads 8 are used to pick up the inner stoppers and caps, transferring them from the inner stopper storage bin and the cap storage bin to the bottle 2 on the rotating disk 7. The rotating disk 7 is located between the tail ends of the stopper vibrating disk 1 and the capping vibrating disk 5. The column 3 is located at the rear of the rotating disk 7. The rotating disk 7 is connected to the rear of the bottle unscrambler (not shown in the figure). The bottle unscrambler transports the bottle 2 to the notch 6 at the edge of the rotating disk 7. A stainless steel support plate is provided at the bottom of the notch 6. The bottle 2 moves as the rotating disk 7 rotates. After stoppering or capping, the bottle detaches from the rotating disk 7 under the action of the lever (not shown in the figure) and continues to be transported.

[0023] This utility model also includes multiple photoelectric detection sensors, which are used to automatically identify whether the bottle is in place and whether the seal is an inner plug or a screw cap. The photoelectric detection sensors can be set in the corresponding parts of the equipment and can detect or identify the contents.

[0024] The main improvement of this utility model is that the cap and the plug share a rotating disk 7, and the bracket 4 is provided with suction heads 8 at both ends. Other unimproved aspects are not described in detail.

[0025] 1. Integrated stopper / capping station: A switchable capping mechanism is installed at the rear of the filling process, including:

[0026] - Rotary swing arm mechanical assembly (with double-ended actuator)

[0027] - Pneumatic adsorption module (negative pressure suction head compatible with inner plugs / caps)

[0028] - Photoelectric detection sensor (automatically identifies container positioning and seal type)

[0029] 2. Dual-channel detection mechanism:

[0030] - Compression mode: Triggers adsorption-compression process when an inner plug is detected.

[0031] - Capping mode: Switches to capping / capping procedure when an aluminum cap is detected.

[0032] When using it, when switching to the plug mode:

[0033] 1. Rotate the swing arm to the inner storage bin side.

[0034] 2. The photoelectric sensor confirms that the bottle opening is in place.

[0035] 3. The suction tip adsorbs the inner plug at -0.2 MPa.

[0036] 4. The linear cylinder presses down (stroke 25mm±0.5) to complete the press fitting.

[0037] The same process applies to the capping mode, where the system automatically matches the cap diameter parameters.

[0038] On a nursing solution filling production line, the technical solution of integrating stoppering and capping functions into a single machine (usually referred to as a "two-in-one" or "composite" unit) has the following significant advantages:

[0039] 1. Saves space and cost

[0040] Small footprint: One machine replaces two independent machines, saving cleanroom space (reducing layout area by approximately 30%-40%).

[0041] Reusing mechanical structures can reduce equipment manufacturing costs by 15%-20%.

[0042] Low energy consumption and maintenance costs: A single drive system is more energy-efficient than two devices and reduces maintenance points (e.g., only one control system and lubrication point are needed).

[0043] 2. Improve production efficiency

[0044] Reduced equipment connection time: Traditional separate equipment requires transferring containers from the capping machine to the sealing machine, which may involve time-consuming steps such as conveying and positioning. The integrated machine eliminates these transfer steps, shortening the production cycle.

[0045] 3. Parameter coordinated control: Parameters such as pressure and torque can be adjusted through the same system to ensure consistent sealing (such as matching the stopper compression rate with the cap tightening).
