[0002] After food production, filling and sealing are necessary to prevent contamination during transportation. Currently, most of these steps are done manually, which is labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient. To address this, a highly efficient automated machine has been developed for filling and sealing capsule cups. This machine incorporates processes such as cup dropping, cup inspection, feeding, powder pressing and suction, film suction, heat sealing, capping, weighing, and cup dispensing. While related equipment exists, such as the novel single-row linear filling and sealing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 113104245B, which integrates cup dropping, inspection, feeding, powder pressing and suction, heat sealing, capping, weighing, and cup dispensing, its single-row structure limits processing to one product at a time, resulting in low efficiency and failing to meet production requirements.

Its structure and working principle will not be elaborated here. This solution is a cup-dropping device designed for a double-row filling and sealing machine; therefore, it has two dropping holes. This solution can adopt a double-row cup-dropping device design, meaning the structure of cup-dropping device 2 is consistent with the above solution. Of course, this solution can also increase the number of dropping holes and make adaptive adjustments to other structures to form a multi-row cup-dropping device. Therefore, the number of dropping holes is not limited here.

[0045] The cup detection device 3 includes several first sensors, each corresponding to a receiving tank, to detect whether a cup is contained in the receiving tank. If no cup is contained, an alarm will be triggered.

[0046] The feeding device 4 includes a vacuum feeder 41 for storing powder, a receiving hopper 42 located below the vacuum feeder 41, a conveying pipe 43 for conveying powder from the vacuum feeder 41 to the receiving hopper 42, a support frame 44 for fixing the vacuum feeder 41 and the receiving hopper 42, a stirring module 45 for stirring the powder in the receiving hopper 42, and several feeding modules 46 for quantitatively adding the powder from the receiving hopper 42 into a feeding cup; the stirring module 45 includes several stirring shafts 451 whose lower ends extend into the receiving hopper 42, and a drive mechanism for rotating the stirring shafts 451. A rotating stirring motor 452 is used. A pair of stirring blades 453 are mounted opposite each other on both sides of the stirring shaft 451. The stirring shaft 451 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 44 via bearings and bearing sleeves. The feeding module 46 includes a feeding screw 461 inserted inside the stirring shaft 451 and extending to the upper and lower ends of the stirring shaft 451, and a feeding motor 462 fixed on the support frame 44 that drives the feeding screw 461 to rotate. The lower end of the receiving hopper 42 is provided with several discharge nozzles 47 corresponding to the upper and lower ends of the feeding screw 461. Each discharge nozzle 47 is provided with a feeding assembly 48 at its lower end. The feeding assembly 48 can accurately complete the feeding of each cup. The specific structure of the feeding assembly 48 is existing technology and can adopt the structure of the feeding assembly in a novel single-row linear filling and sealing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113104245B. Its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The powder pressing and suction device 5 includes a gantry bracket 51 mounted on the conveyor 1, a first cylinder 52 mounted on the gantry bracket 51, a lifting mounting frame 53 driven by the first cylinder 52 to move up and down, and a plurality of powder pressing and suction modules 54 mounted on the lifting mounting frame 53. Each powder pressing and suction module 54 is arranged corresponding to a receiving groove. Each powder pressing and suction module 54 includes a suction cover 542 mounted on the lower surface of the lifting mounting frame 53 and a suction pipe 543 connected to the suction cover 542. The lower end of the suction cover 542 is provided with an adsorption cavity 544. The powder pressing component 541 is elastically mounted on the lifting mounting frame 53 and located within the adsorption cavity 544. The powder suction hood 542 is located above the carrier. The lower end of the powder suction hood 542 has a slot that mates with the receiving groove of the carrier. The powder suction pipe 543 is installed on the powder suction hood 542 and communicates with the adsorption cavity 544. The powder suction pipe 543 is connected to a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure) via a pipe. When the powder pressing and suction device 5 is working, the powder suction hood 542 and the carrier close to form a sealed cavity. The powder pressing assembly 541 flattens the powder in the material cup, while the powder suction pipe 543 sucks out the residual powder remaining at the mouth of the material cup. The structure of the powder pressing assembly 541 is existing technology and can adopt the structure of the powder pressing assembly in a novel single-row linear filling and sealing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113104245B. Its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0048] During both feeding and powder pressing / suction, a lifting module is required to lift the material cup. Therefore, a lifting module is installed below both the feeding device 4 and the powder pressing / suction device 5. Since the feeding device 4 and the powder pressing / suction device 5 are adjacent stations, a single lifting module 50 is used to lift the material cups at both stations. The lifting module 50 includes a lifting cylinder 501, a lifting plate 502 driven by the lifting cylinder 501 to move up and down, and several lifting components 503 mounted on the lifting plate 502 and pressing against the bottom of the material cup.

[0049] The weighing device 6 includes a weighing mounting frame 61, a second cylinder 62 mounted on the weighing mounting frame 61, and a weighing lifting seat 63 driven by the second cylinder 62 to move up and down. The weighing lifting seat 63 is equipped with several weighing sensors 64. Each weighing sensor 64 has a supporting component 65 above it that can extend into a receiving groove to lift the cup. The lower end of the supporting component 65 is attached to the weighing sensor 64, and the upper end can extend into the receiving groove to lift the cup, thus completing the weighing of the cup. The weighing sensors 64, supporting components 65, and receiving grooves are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, with one weighing sensor 64 weighing one cup. The weighing device 6 is positioned between the upper and lower conveyor belts of the conveyor line 1 to weigh the cups, and both the weighing sensors 64 and the supporting components 65 face the upper conveyor belt of the conveyor line 1 to weigh the cups. After the powder is pressed and sucked up, a 64-weighted weighing sensor is used to weigh it, which can ensure the filling accuracy.

[0050] The structure of the film suction device 7 is existing technology and is similar to the structure of the film suction device in a novel single-row linear filling and sealing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113104245B. The difference is that the film chamber in this solution is set with multiple film chambers, and correspondingly set with multiple film suction cups, which can simultaneously adsorb multiple films and place multiple films on the material cup at the same time. The other structures, such as the flip adsorption component and the nitrogen sealing structure, are the same as this solution and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The film detection module 8 includes several second sensors, each corresponding to a receiving slot, to detect whether the cup opening is covered with a film. An alarm will be triggered if there is no film on the cup.

The support component 93 is provided with several support surfaces 931 supporting the bottom of the material cup. When the heat-sealing head 922 heat-presses the film onto the upper end of the material cup, the support surfaces 931 support the bottom of the material cup, ensuring the stability of the heat sealing. The support surfaces 931 of the heat-sealing module 92 are correspondingly arranged with the receiving grooves.

[0053] The structure of the folding ear device 10 is existing technology and can adopt the design of the folding ear device in a novel double-row linear filling and sealing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113650836B. Its structure and working principle will not be elaborated here. This solution is a folding ear device designed for a double-row filling and sealing machine. Therefore, the folding ear device is designed with two urethane round rods. This solution can adopt a double-row design, that is, the structure of the folding ear device 10 is consistent with the above solution. Of course, this solution can also increase the number of urethane round rods, and other structures can be adjusted accordingly to form a multi-row folding ear device. The number of urethane round rods is not limited here.

[0054] The lid-fastening device 20 includes a vibratory feeder 201 that outputs cup lids of the same shape, a cup lid conveying line 202 connected to the vibratory feeder 201 for conveying cup lids, and a conveying and lid-fastening unit 203 disposed at the end of the cup lid conveying line 202.

[0055] A third sensor 2021 for detecting cup lids is provided on the cup lid conveyor line 202. A baffle assembly 2022 is provided at the end of the cup lid conveyor line 202 to prevent the cup lid from being conveyed forward. The baffle assembly 2022 includes a baffle 20221 to prevent the cup lid from being conveyed forward and a baffle cylinder 20222 to drive the baffle 20221 to extend or retract. The baffle 20221 is provided with a conforming notch that conforms to the shape of the cup lid.

[0056] The conveying and capping unit 203 includes a capping mounting frame 2031, a conveying mechanism 2032 mounted on the capping mounting frame 2031 and for conveying the caps from the capping conveyor line 202 to the conveyor line 1, and a capping module 2033 mounted on the capping mounting frame 2031.

[0057] The handling mechanism 2032 includes a PPU robotic arm 20321, a movable plate 20322 located at the movable end of the PPU robotic arm 20321, and several adsorption components 20323 mounted on the movable plate 20322. Each adsorption component 20323 corresponds to a receiving groove. Each adsorption component 20323 includes a second adsorption rod 203231 and a second suction cup 203232 located at the lower end of the adsorption rod. The outer periphery of the second suction cup is provided with a contour cover 203233 that conforms to the shape of the cup lid, which increases the adsorption area, ensures adsorption stability, and prevents the cup lid from falling off during adsorption.

[0058] The lid-fastening module 2033 includes several clamping components 20331 mounted on the lid-fastening mounting bracket 2031 and clamping the lid onto the cup, and several supporting components 20332 mounted below the clamping components 20331 and supporting the bottom of the cup.

The clamping component 20331 includes a clamping cylinder 203311 and a clamping head 203312 driven by the clamping cylinder to move up and down and clamp the lid onto the top of the cup. The supporting component 20332 includes a supporting cylinder 203321 and a supporting member 203322 driven by the supporting cylinder to move up and down and supporting the bottom of the cup. The supporting components 20332 are positioned between the upper and lower conveyor belts of the conveyor line 1, with the supporting member 203322 facing the upper conveyor belt of the conveyor line 1 and supporting the bottom of the cup.

[0059] The unloading device 30 includes an unloading track 301 and a transport module 302 that transports finished products from the conveyor line 1 onto the unloading track 301. The transport module 302 includes a third cylinder 3021, a first rotating shaft 3023 driven by the third cylinder 3021 to rotate around a horizontal axis, and several transport components 3022 mounted on the first rotating shaft 3023. Each transport component 3022 includes a transport rod 30221 with one end mounted on the first rotating shaft 3023, a first suction rod 30222 at the other end of the transport rod 30221, and a first suction cup 30223 at the end of the first suction rod 30222. Each transport component 3022 corresponds to a receiving slot, and the transport module 302 transports several material cups onto the unloading track 301 at a time. The feeding track 301 is inclined so that the cup can slide down to the next station by its own weight. In order to facilitate the handling component 3022 to place the cup on the feeding track 301 more accurately, the upper end of the feeding track 301 is provided with several first clearance grooves 3011 to avoid the handling rod 30221. When feeding, the handling rod 30221 extends into the first clearance grooves 3011 to bring the cup as close to the feeding track 301 as possible, so that the cup falls completely onto the feeding track 301 and prevents the cup from falling out of the feeding track 301.

[0060] If the handling module 302 malfunctions and cannot handle the finished product, the finished product will still remain in the receiving slot of the conveyor line 1. The remaining product in the receiving slot will prevent it from holding new cups, hindering subsequent filling and sealing operations and affecting the entire processing. Therefore, a rejection device 40 is installed after the feeding device 30 to remove the remaining product. The rejection device 40 includes a rejection mounting frame 401, a fourth cylinder 402 mounted on the rejection mounting frame 401, a rejection lifting plate 403 driven by the fourth cylinder 402 to move up and down, and several rejection rods 404 mounted on the rejection lifting plate 403. Each rejection rod 404 corresponds to a receiving slot to remove the finished product from the receiving slot. The rejection device 40 is positioned between the upper and lower conveyor belts of the conveyor line 1, with the rejection rods 404 facing the lower conveyor belt of the conveyor line 1 to remove the finished product from the receiving slot.

[0061] In this embodiment, the carrier is provided with two rows of receiving slots, and correspondingly, each workstation is provided with two processing heads. For example, the number of the material discharge hole, the first sensor, the feeding module 46, the discharge nozzle 47, the powder pressing and suction module 54, the weighing sensor 64, the supporting component 65, the film hopper, the film suction cup, the second sensor, the heat sealing module 92, the supporting surface 931, the urethane round bar, the adsorption component 20323, the pressing component 20331, the supporting component 20332, the conveying component 3022, and the rejection bar 404 are all provided in two, that is, two products can be processed at a time or two products can be conveyed at a time, which can improve production efficiency.

[0062] In other embodiments, to further improve production efficiency, the carrier is provided with three or four rows of receiving slots, or other multiple rows of receiving slots. Correspondingly, each processing station is provided with multiple processing heads, such as multiple material discharge holes, first sensors, feeding modules 46, discharge nozzles 47, powder pressing and suction modules 54, weighing sensors 64, supporting components 65, film hoppers, film suction cups, second sensors, heat sealing modules 92, supporting surfaces 931, urethane round bars, adsorption components 20323, pressing components 20331, supporting components 20332, conveying components 3022, and rejection rods 404, which can further improve production efficiency. The number of rows of receiving slots is not limited here and can be adjusted according to the actual production efficiency.

[0063] When using the fully automatic multi-row filling, sealing, and capping equipment 100 provided in this solution, the cups on the cup dropping device 2 fall into the receiving trough on the carrier of the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 conveys the cups forward. Multiple first sensors on the cup detection device 3 detect whether there are cups in the receiving trough. If there are no cups, an alarm will sound. After a cup is detected, the conveyor line 1 conveys the cup to the bottom of the feeding device 4. The powder in the vacuum feeder 41 is conveyed to the receiving hopper 42 through the conveying pipe 43. The stirring module 45 stirs the powder in the receiving hopper 42. At the same time, several... The feeding module 46 also rotates to convey the powder into the discharge nozzle 47. The unloading component 48 works to add the powder from the discharge nozzle 47 into the corresponding material cup. After the powder is fed, the conveyor line 1 conveys the material cup to the bottom of the powder pressing and suction device 5. The powder suction hood 542 descends and closes with the carrier to form a sealed cavity. The powder pressing component 541 flattens the powder in the material cup, while the powder suction pipe 543 sucks out the residual powder remaining at the mouth of the material cup. After the powder pressing and suction are completed, the supporting component 65 rises and extends into the receiving groove to lift the material cup. The weighing sensor 64 weighs the material cup. After completion, the supporting component 65 descends, and the conveyor line 1 transports the material cup to below the film suction device 7. The film suction device 7 adsorbs the film and places it at the mouth of the material cup. Several second sensors of the film detection module 8 detect whether the mouth of the material cup is covered with film. The conveyor line 1 transports the material cup to below the film heat sealing device 9. Several heat sealing modules 92 work simultaneously to heat seal the film at the mouth of the material cup. The conveyor line 1 transports the material cup to below the folding device 10. The folding device 10 is used to fold up the folds of the film. The conveyor line 1 transports the material cup to the conveying mechanism 2032. At the same time, the cup... The cup lid is conveyed to the baffle assembly 2022 via the cup lid conveyor line 202.
