Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment technology, specifically to an anti-clogging, detachable filling valve assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Filling valves are a crucial component of filling equipment, primarily controlling the flow of materials. Their design and function directly impact production efficiency and product quality. However, in practical applications, many filling valves are prone to clogging when handling certain types of materials, especially viscous, granular, or solid-containing fluids. This not only leads to production interruptions and increased maintenance and cleaning costs but can also affect product quality and stability. Therefore, developing an efficient and reliable anti-clogging filling valve assembly is of paramount importance.
[0003] Patent CN219172801U discloses a fruit particle anti-clogging filling valve, including a filling valve and an anti-clogging cylinder. The anti-clogging cylinder is fixedly connected to the filling valve. A support plate is provided inside the anti-clogging cylinder, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the anti-clogging cylinder. A motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the anti-clogging cylinder. The main shaft of the motor passes through the anti-clogging cylinder. The rotation of the worm gear drives the rotation of the worm wheel, which in turn drives the rotation of the rotating rod. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the pulverizing blade to rotate. When beverages containing fruit particles enter the anti-clogging cylinder, small fruit particles will pass directly through the anti-clogging cylinder and the filling valve. When large fruit particles enter the anti-clogging cylinder, the rotating rod inside the anti-clogging cylinder drives the pulverizing blade to pulverize the large fruit particles, reducing their size so that they can pass through the filling valve without clogging it. This prevents fruit particles from clogging the filling valve during use and does not affect the filling process.
[0004] The existing technology described above uses a motor to drive a worm gear, which in turn drives a worm wheel, which in turn drives a rotating rod, which in turn drives the pulverizing blades to pulverize the fruit particles entering the anti-clogging cylinder. However, in practical use, while the pulverizing blades can pulverize larger fruit particles, they inevitably over-pulverize smaller particles. This over-pulverization not only affects the taste and quality of the fruit but also impacts the overall production quality of the factory. Therefore, we propose an anti-clogging, detachable filling valve assembly to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, ensuring that clogging is prevented without affecting the overall quality of the material and production efficiency.
