Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottled probiotic production technology, and more specifically to a mechanism based on a bottled probiotic heat-sealing mechanism that can be quickly disassembled and cleaned. Background Technology

[0002] In the bottled probiotic filling production line, see Appendix Figure 1 The heat sealing station requires the heat sealing block 2 to seal the film on the bottle neck of the mold plate 3. In the prior art, the heat sealing mechanism 1 is fixed to the top of the mold plate 3 by multiple bolts 4 (see attached image). Figure 1 The bolt 4 has been simplified, and the distance between the heat-sealing block 2 and the mold plate 3 is extremely small (usually less than 10cm). This structure has a significant defect:

[0003] Cleaning difficulties: The narrow space hinders the entry of tools, making it difficult for operators to thoroughly remove the adhesive residue and dust adhering to the surface of the heat-sealed block;

[0004] Inefficient: Each cleaning requires disassembling multiple bolts (average time ≥30 seconds / bolt), and after reinstallation, precise positioning adjustment is required (takes about 15 minutes), with the entire process taking about 19 minutes;

[0005] Low yield rate: Residues cause uneven heat seal, leading to air leakage at the probiotic bottle opening.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanism that can quickly separate, reliably position, and is easy to clean. Utility Model Content

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a mechanism based on the heat sealing mechanism of bottled probiotics that can be quickly disassembled and cleaned, so as to solve the problem that it is difficult to clean the adhesive residue and dust adhering to the surface of the heat-sealed block in narrow spaces, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and the impact of incomplete cleaning on the yield rate.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is a mechanism based on a bottled probiotic heat-sealing mechanism that can be quickly disassembled and cleaned. The mounting frame supports the heat-sealing mechanism. The mounting frame includes a combination column symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold plate. The top of the combination column on the first side is connected to the first end pin hole of the heat-sealing mechanism through a pin shaft. The combination column on the second side is connected to the second end pin hole of the heat-sealing mechanism through a pin positioning component that can be opened and closed, so that the first end pin hole of the heat-sealing mechanism is rotated outward around the pin shaft, and the second end pin hole is raised, so that the heat-sealing block of the heat-sealing mechanism is tilted towards the operator.

[0009] According to the mechanism of this utility model, each of the combined columns includes a fixed section and a movable section. The movable section is detachable from the top of the fixed section and supports the heat sealing mechanism at the top. The movable section on the first side is hinged to the first end pin hole of the heat sealing mechanism through the pin shaft. The movable section on the second side is openable and closeable to the second end pin hole of the heat sealing mechanism through the pin positioning assembly.

[0010] According to the mechanism of this utility model, the pin positioning component is a quick-release pin with a shaft diameter tolerance of g6, which is clearance-fitted with the second positioning hole on the movable section on the second side. The diameter tolerances of the second positioning hole and the second end pin hole are both H7.

[0011] According to the mechanism of this utility model, the angle at which the second end pin hole of the heat sealing mechanism is raised is 30-90 degrees.

[0012] According to the mechanism of this utility model, the movable section on the first side is provided with two first positioning holes that cooperate with the pin shaft, and a limiting platform is provided between the two first positioning holes. The limiting platform is a plane that abuts against and limits the limiting surface on the first end side of the heat sealing mechanism; the two ends of the pin shaft are axially limited by snap rings.

[0013] According to the mechanism of this utility model, the mounting plane of each of the movable and fixed segments is higher than the plane of the mold plate.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model achieves rapid flipping and lifting of the heat sealing block in 5 seconds with one hand through a single-sided pin hinge and pin opening and closing design, eliminating the need to disassemble the bolts, changing the cleaning posture from horizontal to inclined, and expanding the operating space by 300%.

[0016] 2. The separate structure of the moving section and the fixed section allows for modularization of core components. When the moving section is damaged, it can be directly replaced without disassembling the entire mounting frame, reducing maintenance time by 70%. It also reduces the overall processing cost.

[0017] 3. The quick-release pin with H7 / g6 tolerance ensures a repeatability accuracy of ≤0.05mm (actual measurement data), avoiding the mechanism offset caused by traditional bolt tightening and improving the consistency of heat sealing position.

[0018] 4. Adjustable tilt angle from 30° to 90° to suit the optimal viewing angle for operators of different heights (verified for heights of 150-180cm), increasing the contact area of ​​cleaning tools by 200%. A 90° angle is preferred, with the limiting platform and limiting surface abutting against each other to prevent the heat-sealing mechanism from falling during cleaning and causing safety hazards.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of this utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] See appendix Figure 1 In the prior art, the heat sealing mechanism 1 is fixed to the top of the mold plate 3 by multiple bolts 4 (see attached image). Figure 1 The simplified bolt 4) has a gap between the heat-sealing block 2 and the mold plate 3, which is usually less than 10cm. This structure makes it impossible for tools to enter the narrow space, and it is difficult for operators to completely remove the adhesive residue and dust adhering to the surface of the heat-sealing block; cleaning requires the removal of multiple bolts (average time ≥30 seconds / bolt), and precise adjustment of positioning is required after reinstallation (time takes about 15 minutes), with the whole process taking about 19 minutes; the residue causes the heat-sealing surface to be uneven, causing air leakage problems in the probiotic bottle opening film.

[0026] In view of this, the present invention provides a mechanism for quick disassembly and cleaning based on the heat-sealing mechanism of bottled probiotics, see appendix. Figure 2 and 3The mounting frame supports the heat sealing mechanism 1. The mounting frame includes a combination column 5 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold plate 3. The top of the combination column 5 on the first side is connected to the first end pin hole 11 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 through a pin shaft 6. The combination column 5 on the second side is connected to the second end pin hole 12 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 through a pin positioning assembly 7, which can be opened and closed, so that the first end pin hole 11 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 is rotated outward around the pin shaft 6, and the second end pin hole 12 is raised, so that the heat sealing block 2 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 is tilted towards the operator.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

The movable section 52 on the first side is hinged to the first end pin hole 11 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 through the pin 6, and the movable section 52 on the second side is openable and closeable to the second end pin hole 12 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 through the pin positioning assembly 7.

[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, the pin positioning component 7 is a quick-release pin (using an ejector T-type ZAA11 pin), with a shaft diameter tolerance of g6, and is clearance-fitted with the second positioning hole 521 on the movable section 52 on the second side. The diameter tolerances of the second positioning hole 521 and the second end pin hole 12 are both H7.

[0030] The second end pin hole 12 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 is raised at an angle of 30-90 degrees.

[0031] The movable section 52 on the first side is provided with two first positioning holes 522 that cooperate with the pin 6. A limiting platform 523 is provided between the two first positioning holes 522. The limiting platform 523 is a plane that abuts against the limiting surface 13 on the first end side of the heat sealing mechanism 1 for limiting. The two ends of the pin 6 are axially limited by snap rings 8.

[0032] The mounting plane of each of the movable segment 52 and fixed segment 51 is higher than the plane of the mold plate 3. The mounting plane of the movable segment 52 and fixed segment 51 is 20±2mm above the mold plate 3 to ensure that the heat-sealing block resets without interference.

[0033] In this utility model assembly, the fixed section 51 is vertically fixed to both sides of the mold plate 3 by bolts; the movable section 52 is fixed to the top of the fixed section 51; for the connection of the heat sealing mechanism, on the right side (first end) of the figure, the first end pin hole 11 of the heat sealing mechanism 1 is aligned with the first positioning hole 522 of the right movable section 52, and after the pin 6 is inserted, snap rings 8 are installed at both ends; on the left side (second end): the heat sealing mechanism 1 is lowered so that its second end pin hole 12 is aligned with the second positioning hole 521 of the left movable section 52, and a quick-release pin is inserted to achieve quick insertion and positioning.

[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "joining", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0036] Operators can choose the tilt angle according to their height: 30° tilt (slightly raising the heat-sealing block) for those 150-165cm tall; 60° tilt for those 165-180cm tall; and 90° tilt is preferred for general scenarios (the 523 limiting platform fully supports the weight of the heat-sealing mechanism). If the tilt angle is less than 90° towards the operator, another operator is needed to assist in lifting the heat-sealing mechanism to ensure safety.
