[0002] In the food, health supplement, and pharmaceutical industries, the production of probiotic products is a crucial step. Among these steps, the bottling of probiotic raw materials is a key component. With the development of automation technology, more and more companies are adopting automated bottling machines to replace manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221070985U discloses a probiotic liquid filling device, including a filling mechanism, a drive assembly, and a conveying assembly. The filling mechanism includes a fixed frame, a filling component, and multiple sets of limiting components. The filling component is mounted on the fixed frame, and the multiple sets of limiting components are linearly arranged on the fixed frame. The drive assembly includes a drive mechanism and a conveying component. The drive mechanism is mounted on the fixed frame, and the conveying component is rotatably mounted on the output end of the drive mechanism. The conveying assembly is mounted on the conveying component and includes a base, two baffles, two sealing mechanisms, and a fastening mechanism. The base is mounted on the conveying component, and the two baffles are symmetrically arranged on the base. This device can seal the bottle opening during the conveying process, preventing external dust, impurities, and other contaminants from falling into the bottle, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the filled probiotic liquid and guaranteeing product quality and safety.

[0004] However, the aforementioned device makes it inconvenient to screw caps on the cans after filling, making it difficult to seal the cans in a timely manner. This leaves the probiotics exposed to the external environment after filling. If other impurities fall into the cans during transportation, it will affect the product quality. Furthermore, the aforementioned device has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a canning machine for probiotic raw materials is provided. This technical solution solves the problem that it is inconvenient to screw caps on the cans after filling, which makes it difficult to seal the cans in time. This results in the probiotics remaining exposed to the external environment after filling. If other impurities fall into the cans during transportation, it will affect the product quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A probiotic raw material filling machine includes a conveyor, a filling assembly mounted on the outside of the conveyor, the filling assembly including a horizontal plate located above the conveyor, a filling head mounted on the lower end of one side of the horizontal plate, and a positioning plate rotatably connected to the lower end of the other side of the horizontal plate via a first rotating shaft, a capping mechanism mounted on the left side of the conveyor, the capping mechanism including a first L-shaped plate, a capping roller rotatably connected to the upper end of the first L-shaped plate, a clamping mechanism mounted on the outside of the conveyor, the clamping mechanism including two sets of second L-shaped plates respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the conveyor, a clamping plate fixedly connected to one end of each set of second L-shaped plates, and a robotic arm mounted on the right side of the conveyor.

[0008] Preferably, the capping mechanism further includes a first guide rail, with a first slider slidably connected inside the first guide rail, and the lower end of the first L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the first slider.

The output end of the servo motor extends into the inside of the first guide rail and is rotatably connected to the drive screw.

[0010] Preferably, a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first L-shaped plate, the capping roller is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating shaft, a plurality of protrusions are provided on the outer side of the capping roller, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first L-shaped plate, and pulleys are fixedly connected to both the output end of the drive motor and the outer side of the second rotating shaft, and the two sets of pulleys are connected by belt drive.

[0011] Preferably, the canning assembly further includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor. A cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting frame, and the output end of the cylinder extends to the lower end of the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to the cross plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a capping mechanism, a clamping mechanism and a robotic arm, after the can is filled with probiotics, the robotic arm can promptly place the sealing cap on the upper end of the can. Two sets of second L-shaped plates can drive the clamping plates to clamp the can body, preventing the can from shaking during capping and increasing the capping weight. The first L-shaped plate can drive the capping roller to move and contact the sealing cap, so that the capping roller drives the sealing cap to rotate simultaneously, thereby tightening the sealing cap on the upper end of the can. The protrusions can increase the friction between the capping roller and the sealing cap, which is beneficial to the capping operation. The positioning plate can press down on the upper end of the sealing cap to position it and prevent the sealing cap from deviating due to uneven force during the capping operation.

[0015] By setting filling heads and positioning plates at both ends of the horizontal plate, the horizontal plate can move the filling heads downwards for filling while simultaneously moving the positioning plates downwards to press and position the sealing cap. This not only ensures the continuity of the filling operation but also greatly improves the overall production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a probiotic raw material filling machine includes a conveyor 1, a filling assembly 2 installed on the outside of the conveyor 1, the filling assembly 2 including a horizontal plate 203, the horizontal plate 203 being located above the conveyor 1, a filling head 204 installed on the lower end of one side of the horizontal plate 203, and a positioning plate 206 rotatably connected to the lower end of the other side of the horizontal plate 203 via a first rotating shaft 205, a capping mechanism 3 installed on the left side of the conveyor 1, the capping mechanism 3 including a first L-shaped plate 304, a capping roller 305 rotatably connected to the upper end of the first L-shaped plate 304, a clamping mechanism 4 installed on the outside of the conveyor 1, the clamping mechanism 4 including two sets of second L-shaped plates 405, the two sets of second L-shaped plates 405 being respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the conveyor 1, and a clamping plate 406 fixedly connected to one end of each set of second L-shaped plates 405, and a robotic arm 5 installed on the right side of the conveyor 1.

[0030] In this scheme, the conveyor 1 can intermittently transport the cans, and the horizontal plate 203 can drive the filling head 204 and the positioning plate 206 to move up and down simultaneously, so that the filling head 204 can be inserted into the inside of the can for filling. After filling, the cans are transported to the capping mechanism 3 by the conveyor 1. At the same time, the conveyor 1 moves the next set of cans to the bottom of the filling head 204. The robotic arm 5 can place the sealing cap on the top of the filled cans. The horizontal plate 203 then drives the filling head 204 and the positioning plate 206 to move down simultaneously, so that the filling head 204 can fill the next set of cans. At the same time, the lower end of the positioning plate 206 presses on the upper end of the sealing cap to position it and prevent the sealing cap from deviating due to uneven force during the capping operation.

[0031] Furthermore, the first L-shaped plate 304 can drive the capping roller 305 to move and contact the sealing cap. When the capping roller 305 rotates, it can drive the sealing cap to rotate at the same time, thereby tightening the sealing cap to the upper end of the tank.

[0032] Furthermore, the two sets of second L-shaped plates 405 can drive the clamping plates 406 to move in opposite directions, thereby clamping the can body and preventing the can body from shaking when capping, thus increasing the capping quality.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Please refer to Figures 3-4 As shown, the capping mechanism 3 also includes a first guide rail 301, and a first slider 303 is slidably connected inside the first guide rail 301. The lower end of the first L-shaped plate 304 is fixedly connected to the first slider 303.

[0035] The capping mechanism 3 also includes a servo motor 306 and a drive screw 302. The servo motor 306 is fixedly connected to the left side of the first guide rail 301, and the drive screw 302 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first guide rail 301. The output end of the servo motor 306 extends into the inside of the first guide rail 301 and is rotatably connected to the drive screw 302.

[0036] The upper end of the first L-shaped plate 304 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 308. The capping roller 305 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating shaft 308. Several sets of protrusions 310 are provided on the outer side of the capping roller 305. The lower end of the first L-shaped plate 304 is fixedly installed with a drive motor 307. The output end of the drive motor 307 and the outer side of the second rotating shaft 308 are both fixedly connected with pulleys 309. The two sets of pulleys 309 are connected by belt drive.

[0037] In this scheme, the servo motor 306 is electrically connected to an external power source. The servo motor 306 can drive the drive screw 302 to rotate, thereby driving the first slider 303 to move the first L-shaped plate 304.

[0038] Furthermore, the drive motor 307 is electrically connected to an external power source. The drive motor 307 can drive the second rotating shaft 308 to rotate via a belt and two sets of pulleys 309, thereby driving the capping roller 305 to rotate. The protrusion 310 can increase the friction between the capping roller 305 and the sealing cap, which is beneficial for the capping operation.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2. The canning assembly 2 also includes a mounting frame 201, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor 1. A cylinder 202 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting frame 201, and the output end of the cylinder 202 extends to the lower end of the mounting frame 201 and is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 203.

[0041] In this design, cylinder 202 can drive the horizontal plate 203 to move up and down.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] Please refer to Figure 5As shown, the clamping mechanism 4 includes two sets of second guide rails 401, which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the conveyor 1 respectively. A second slider 404 is slidably connected inside the second guide rail 401, and the other end of the second L-shaped plate 405 is fixedly connected to the second slider 404.

[0044] The second guide rail 401 is rotatably connected to a rotating screw 402. The two sets of rotating screws 402 have opposite thread directions and are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 403. The connecting rod 403 is rotatably connected to the inside of the conveyor 1 frame. A rotary motor 407 is fixedly installed at one end of the left second guide rail 401. The output end of the rotary motor 407 is fixedly connected to the left rotating screw 402.

[0045] In this scheme, the rotary motor 407 is electrically connected to an external power source. The rotary motor 407 can drive the left rotating screw 402 to rotate, thereby driving the right rotating screw 402 to rotate through the connecting rod 403, and in turn driving the two sets of second sliders 404 to move in opposite directions.

[0046] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the can is intermittently conveyed by the conveyor 1. When the can is conveyed to below the filling head 204, the cylinder 202 drives the horizontal plate 203 to move downward, so that the filling head 204 is inserted into the inside of the can for filling. After filling, the can is conveyed to the capping mechanism 3 by the conveyor 1. At the same time, the conveyor 1 moves the next set of cans to below the filling head 204. At this time, the robotic arm 5 places the sealing cap on the top of the filled can. Then, the cylinder 202 drives the horizontal plate 203 to move downward again, so that the filling head 204 and the positioning plate 206 move downward simultaneously. For the next set of cans, the positioning plate 206 is pressed down onto the upper end of the sealing cap to position it on the upper end of the can. Meanwhile, the rotary motor 407 drives the left rotating screw 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the right rotating screw 402 to rotate via the connecting rod 403. This, in turn, drives the two sets of second sliders 404 to move the second L-shaped plates 405 in the same direction, so that the clamping plate 406 clamps the can body. At this time, the servo motor 306 and the drive motor 307 are started. The first L-shaped plate 304 drives the rotating capping roller 305 to move and contact the sealing cap, thereby driving the sealing cap to rotate simultaneously and tighten the sealing cap onto the upper end of the can.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
