Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water production technology, and in particular to a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water bottling. Background Technology
[0002] During the drinking water bottling process, the main purpose of rotating the bottling barrel is to precisely rotate the inlet or opening of the barrel to be directly below the filling head. Only when the barrel opening and the filling valve are precisely aligned can rapid, leak-free, and sealed filling be achieved, ensuring that the liquid is accurately injected into the container and avoiding spraying, waste, or pollution of the filling environment.
[0003] In drinking water bottling production, the position of the filling barrels on the conveyor line is not fixed, making it difficult to accurately align their inlets with the filling equipment. Relying on manual adjustment is not only inefficient but also cannot meet the cycle time requirements of high-speed production lines. In addition, during the repositioning process, the filling barrels are prone to movement obstruction or jamming. Therefore, we urgently need a filling barrel repositioning device for drinking water bottling to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of poor positioning effect between filling barrels and filling equipment, low efficiency of manual adjustment, and jamming during filling barrel rotation in the prior art, and to propose a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water filling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A filling barrel rotation device for drinking water bottling includes a frame and filling equipment mounted on the frame. A conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the frame. The device further includes: a rotating platform rotatably connected to the middle of the frame, a disc fixedly connected to the rotating platform via a vertical frame, an arc-shaped notch for adapting to the middle of the filling barrel on the rotating platform, a limiting plate for limiting the filling barrel on the disc, and an arc-shaped notch for adapting to the port of the filling barrel on the limiting plate; guide parts symmetrically mounted at the feed end and discharge end of the frame for guiding the filling barrel in and out; and a rotation part fixedly mounted on the frame for moving the position of the filling barrel.
[0007] To limit the position of feeding and discharging from the filling barrel, preferably, the guide part includes a mounting frame symmetrically mounted on the frame, a guide rod slidably connected to the mounting frame, and a limit rod threadedly connected to the mounting frame. The end of the limit rod abuts against the corresponding side of the guide rod to form a limiting area. When the two sets of guide rods abut against the filling barrel, a guiding limiting area is formed.
[0008] To facilitate the rotation of the filling barrel, preferably, the rotation part includes two sets of baffles fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame, and the two sets of baffles form an arc-shaped slide for adapting to the rotation path of the disc.
[0009] To make the movement of the filling barrel more stable, preferably, an arc-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the frame and at the position corresponding to the disc, and several rollers are rolled inside the arc-shaped plate. When the rotating table and the disc drive the filling barrel to rotate, the rollers abut against the surface of the filling barrel, and the end of the filling barrel is slidably connected in the slide rail.
[0010] In order to drive the filling barrel to rotate, preferably, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the frame, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating table. When the drive motor works, the disc and the limiting plate rotate accordingly.
[0011] To identify whether the filling barrel has moved to the corresponding position, preferably, a vertical rod is fixedly installed on the arc plate, and a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor for detecting the water inlet of the filling barrel is fixedly connected to the vertical rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water bottling, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This drinking water filling barrel rotation device, through the setting of arc-shaped notch one and arc-shaped notch two, and the dual-point limit of "center + port", ensures the positioning of the filling barrel. In conjunction with the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, it achieves no displacement or shaking of the filling barrel during the rotation process, solving the problems of easy tilting and inaccurate positioning of filling barrels in traditional rotation. Furthermore, through the setting of the drive motor, the speed of the rotation table and disc can be uniform and controllable, improving the rotation efficiency.
[0014] 2. This drinking water filling barrel transposition device features an adjustable guide section. The guide rod on the mounting frame can be slidably adjusted and fixed in place with the limiting rod. This allows for flexible adjustment of the "guide limiting zone" size according to filling barrels of different diameters. It can adapt to various specifications of filling barrels without replacing core components, reducing equipment replacement costs, improving the flexibility of the production line, ensuring that filling barrels accurately enter and smoothly leave the transposition zone, and reducing the need for manual intervention.
[0015] 3. This drinking water filling barrel rotation device, through the setting of rollers and arc-shaped slides, forms a structure that fits and supports the filling barrel throughout the rotation process by the rollers and the arc-shaped slides formed by two sets of baffles. This not only reduces the frictional resistance of the filling barrel during rotation, but also restricts its movement trajectory through the arc-shaped slides, further improving the stability of rotation. In addition, the cooperation between the two sets of baffles and the conveyor belt can realize a continuous transmission path, avoiding the problems of barrel jamming and stagnation caused by the path being broken after rotation.
[0016] 4. This drinking water filling barrel rotation device uses rollers to make rolling contact between the rollers and the surface of the filling barrel. Compared with rigid sliding contact, this greatly reduces wear on the barrel surface, and is especially suitable for filling barrels made of easily scratched materials such as plastic.
[0017] The parts of this device not covered are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model addresses the dual-point limiting, arc-shaped slide support, and roller-assisted fitting structures of the filling barrel, so that the filling barrel is subjected to uniform force during the rotation process, avoiding barrel deformation or equipment wear caused by excessive local force, and extending the service life of the equipment and barrel.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] Example:
[0028] Reference Figures 1-6 A filling barrel rotation device for drinking water filling includes a frame 1 and a filling device 2 installed on the frame 1. A conveyor belt 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A vertical rod 16 is fixedly installed on an arc plate 13. A diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 17 for detecting the water inlet of the filling barrel is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 16. Here, the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 17 can detect whether the filling barrel enters or leaves the rotation area and realize basic position linkage, such as controlling the start and stop control of the drive motor 15.
[0029] It should be noted that the filling equipment 2 mainly consists of a filling head, liquid delivery pipelines, and valve assemblies. The filling head is used to precisely connect to the filling barrel port, the pipeline is responsible for transporting drinking water from the storage device to the filling head, and the valve assembly controls the on / off state and flow rate of the liquid to ensure accurate filling volume. It also includes integrated sensors such as liquid level sensors, position sensors, and control modules to monitor parameters such as filling barrel position and liquid level height. By receiving signals, it controls the start / stop of the filling head and the flow rate adjustment to achieve automated filling. Its frame 1 is also equipped with positioning and support components to assist the filling equipment 2 and provide power for the filling action, including motors or pneumatic components that drive the lifting and lowering of the filling head and the opening and closing of the valves to ensure coordinated operation of each action. This equipment is a common technical solution in drinking water filling, so it will not be described in detail.
[0030] It also includes a rotating platform 4 rotatably connected to the middle of the frame 1. A drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 4. When the drive motor 15 works, the disc 5 and the limiting plate 7 rotate accordingly. The disc 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 4 through a vertical frame. The rotating platform 4 has an arc-shaped notch 6 for adapting to the middle of the filling barrel. A limiting plate 7 for limiting the filling barrel is fixedly installed on the disc 5, and an arc-shaped notch 8 for adapting to the port of the filling barrel is provided on the limiting plate 7.
[0031] Here, the cooperation of the arc-shaped notch 1 6 and the arc-shaped notch 2 8, through the dual-point limiting of "center + port", ensures the positioning of the filling barrel. In conjunction with the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 17, it achieves no offset or shaking of the filling barrel during the rotation process, solving the problems of easy tilting and inaccurate positioning of the filling barrel in traditional rotation. Furthermore, through the setting of the drive motor 15, the speed of the rotation table 4 and the disc 5 can be uniformly controlled, improving the rotation efficiency.
[0032] The guide parts are symmetrically installed at the feed end and discharge end of the frame 1 to guide the filling barrels in and out. The guide parts include mounting frames 9 symmetrically installed on the frame 1. Guide rods 10 are slidably connected to the mounting frames 9. Limit rods 11 are threadedly connected to the mounting frames 9. The end of the limit rod 11 abuts against the corresponding side of the guide rod 10 and forms a limiting area. When the two sets of guide rods 10 abut against the filling barrels, a guiding limiting area is formed.
[0033] Here, the guide section adopts an "adjustable structure design". The guide rod 10 on the mounting frame 9 can be slidably adjusted in position and is fixed in place with the limit rod 11. The size of the "guide limit area" can be flexibly adjusted according to the filling barrels of different diameters. It can adapt to various specifications of filling barrels without replacing the core components, reducing equipment replacement costs and improving the flexibility of the production line.
[0034] Furthermore, the guide sections at the inlet and outlet ends of the conveyor belt 3 form guide channels through symmetrical guide rods 10, ensuring that the filling barrels accurately enter the transfer area and smoothly leave the transfer area, reducing the need for manual intervention.
[0035] A shifting part is fixedly installed on the frame 1 for moving the filling barrel. The shifting part includes two sets of baffles 12 fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame 1. The two sets of baffles 12 form an arc-shaped slide for adapting to the rotation path of the disc 5. An arc-shaped plate 13 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 at the position corresponding to the disc 5. Several rollers 14 are rolledly connected in the arc-shaped plate 13. When the rotating table 4 and the disc 5 drive the filling barrel to rotate, the rollers 14 abut against the surface of the filling barrel, and the end of the filling barrel is slidably connected in the slide.
[0036] Here, the arc-shaped slide formed by the roller 14 and the two sets of baffles 12 forms a structure that fits and supports the filling barrel throughout the rotation process, which not only reduces the frictional resistance of the filling barrel when it rotates, but also restricts its movement trajectory through the arc-shaped slide, further improving the stability of rotation.
[0037] Furthermore, the arc-shaped slide and the conveyor belt 3 are connected in a continuous manner, and both ends of the arc-shaped slide are located above the conveyor belt 3, forming a continuous transmission path from "conveyor belt feeding - transfer area - conveyor belt discharging", which avoids the problem of barrel jamming and stagnation caused by the path being broken after transfer.
[0038] Furthermore, the rollers 14 on the curved plate 13 make rolling contact with the surface of the filling barrel, which greatly reduces wear on the barrel surface compared to rigid sliding contact, and is especially suitable for filling barrels made of easily scratched materials such as plastic.
[0039] In this invention, the operator places the filling barrel on the conveyor belt 3 and adjusts the position of the guide rod 10 on the mounting frame 9 so that both sets of guide rods 10 are in contact with the surface of the filling barrel. Then, the limiting rod 11 is rotated to limit the guide rod 10. At this time, the conveyor belt 3 runs and drives the filling barrel to move. When the filling barrel moves into the arc-shaped notch 6 on the rotating table 4, the port of the filling barrel is located in the arc-shaped notch 8 on the disc 5. Combined with the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 17, the operator locates whether the filling barrel is placed vertically. At this time, the drive motor 15 starts and drives the rotating table 4 and the disc 5 to rotate. The filling barrel follows the rotation and enters the arc-shaped slide formed by the two sets of baffles 12. The wall of the filling barrel contacts the surface of the roller 14. When the filling barrel moves to the filling equipment 2, filling is performed. After filling is completed, the drive motor 15 drives the filling barrel to move back to the conveyor belt 3, thus completing the rotation and filling process of the filling barrel.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
