Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment technology, specifically to a wasabi sauce filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In some wasabi sauce processing techniques, containers are conveyed to filling equipment, which then fills the containers with wasabi sauce. Existing filling equipment includes a conveyor line for transporting containers; at least one filling station located above the conveyor line; wherein the filling station is equipped with: a transverse module; a mounting plate connected to a moving block of the transverse module; and at least two filling heads fixed to the mounting plate, each for filling different materials. This interchangeable filling machine includes at least one filling station located above the conveyor line, where a transverse module is installed, and multiple filling heads are mounted on the transverse module, each capable of filling different materials; in other words, when it is necessary to switch filling materials, the corresponding filling head can be moved above the container via the transverse module, facilitating the switching of filling heads.

[0003] Existing filling equipment has the following problems: it is difficult to fix the containers when filling with containers of different sizes.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a wasabi filling machine to solve the problem of difficulty in fixing containers of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of fixing containers of different sizes when using existing filling equipment.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A wasabi paste filling machine, comprising:

[0008] The conveyor belt includes several flat plates connected end to end;

[0009] Several clamping units, including two grippers mounted on the plate;

[0010] The drive unit connects to and drives the two grippers to move closer or further apart.

[0011] A filling assembly is installed on the conveyor belt.

[0012] Existing filling equipment struggles to secure containers of varying sizes during filling. In this solution, a conveyor belt sequentially transports containers to the filling assembly. A drive unit moves two grippers closer together to hold the container, facilitating its secure placement and filling. After filling, the drive unit moves the two grippers further apart to release the container, allowing it to be moved to subsequent processing equipment. Adjusting the distance between the two grippers allows for the holding of containers of different sizes, improving compatibility and resolving the problem of securing containers of different dimensions.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the separation of the two grippers, one feasible solution is that the drive unit includes a guide rod passing through the grippers and a first spring is installed between the two grippers. When this solution is adopted, when the two grippers approach each other, the first spring is compressed and energy is stored. After filling is completed, the energy is released through the first spring and the two grippers are pushed apart.

[0014] Furthermore, to facilitate bringing the two grippers closer together, one feasible solution is as follows: the drive unit further includes two protrusions symmetrically arranged on the conveyor belt. The side of the gripper away from the first spring is connected to a second spring, and the second spring is connected to a movable plate. The movable plate cooperates with the protrusions. When this solution is adopted, as the conveyor belt drives the gripping unit to move to the protrusions, the two protrusions bring the two movable plates closer together, thereby driving the two grippers closer together. Under the action of the second spring, the grippers can make elastic contact with the container to avoid damaging the container.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to reduce the wear between the movable plate and the protrusion, one feasible solution is to install rollers on the movable plate. When this solution is adopted, the wear between the movable plate and the protrusion can be reduced because the rollers and the protrusion are subjected to rolling friction.

[0016] Furthermore, to make the movement of the gripper smooth, one feasible solution is that the protrusion includes a shrinking section, a filling section, and an expanding section arranged sequentially along the conveyor belt's conveying direction. The filling section is located below the filling assembly. With this solution, the movable plate can smoothly transition to the filling section under the action of the shrinking section, and the movable plate can smoothly release from the filling section under the action of the expanding section, thereby making the process of the gripper approaching or moving away smooth.

[0017] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the filling assembly. One feasible solution is that the filling assembly includes a conduit for conveying wasabi paste and a filling valve installed on the conduit. When this solution is adopted, after the conveyor belt conveys the container to the bottom of the conduit, the filling valve is opened to fill the container with wasabi paste. After filling is completed, the filling valve is closed, and this process is repeated.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The containers are sequentially transported to the filling assembly via the conveyor belt for filling. The drive unit drives two grippers to move closer together and clamp the containers to secure them and facilitate filling. After filling, the drive unit drives the two grippers to move further apart and release the containers to move them to subsequent processing equipment. By adjusting the distance between the two grippers, containers of different sizes can be clamped, improving compatibility and solving the problem of difficulty in securing containers of different sizes.

[0020] Second, since the driving part includes a guide rod passing through the gripper and a first spring is installed between the two grippers, when the two grippers approach each other, the first spring is compressed and energy is stored. After filling is completed, the energy is released through the first spring and the two grippers are pushed apart.

[0021] Third, since the drive unit also includes two protrusions symmetrically arranged on the conveyor belt, the side of the gripper away from the first spring is connected to a second spring and the second spring is connected to a movable plate. The movable plate cooperates with the protrusion. As the conveyor belt drives the clamping unit to move to the protrusion, the two protrusions bring the two movable plates closer to each other, thereby driving the two grippers closer to each other. Under the action of the second spring, the grippers can make elastic contact with the container to avoid damaging the container. Attached Figure Description

[0034] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0035] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0036] Example:

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A wasabi filling machine, comprising:

[0038] Conveyor belt 1, which includes several flat plates 11 connected end to end;

[0039] Several clamping units 2, including two grippers 21 mounted on the plate 11;

[0040] Drive unit 3 connects to and drives two grippers 21 to move closer or further apart;

[0041] The filling component 4 is installed on the conveyor belt 1.

[0042] Existing filling equipment has difficulty fixing containers of different sizes when filling them. In this solution, the containers are sequentially transported to the filling assembly 4 by the conveyor belt 1. The drive unit 3 drives the two grippers 21 to move closer together and clamp the container to fix it and carry out the filling. After filling, the drive unit 3 drives the two grippers 21 to move further apart and release the container so that it can be moved to the subsequent processing equipment. By adjusting the distance between the two grippers 21, containers of different sizes can be clamped, improving compatibility and solving the problem of fixing containers of different sizes.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to facilitate the two grippers 21 moving away from each other, one feasible solution is: the drive unit 3 includes a guide rod 31 passing through the gripper 21 and a first spring 32 installed between the two grippers 21. When the two grippers 21 approach each other, the first spring 32 is compressed and energy is stored. After filling is completed, the energy is released through the first spring 32 and the two grippers 21 are pushed away from each other.

[0044] To facilitate bringing the two grippers 21 closer together, one feasible solution is as follows: the drive unit 3 also includes two protrusions 33 symmetrically arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The side of the gripper 21 away from the first spring 32 is connected to a second spring 34, and the second spring 34 is connected to a movable plate 35. The movable plate 35 cooperates with the protrusions 33. When this solution is adopted, as the conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping unit 2 to move to the protrusions 33, the two protrusions 33 bring the two movable plates 35 closer together, thereby driving the two grippers 21 closer together. Under the action of the second spring 34, the grippers 21 can make elastic contact with the container to avoid damaging the container.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, the second spring 34 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. When this scheme is adopted, the deformation generated by the second spring 34 after being compressed is equal. At this time, the gripper 21 is also in a symmetrical state, thereby adjusting the container to the center position for easy filling.

[0046] To reduce wear between the movable plate 35 and the protrusion 33, one feasible solution is to install a roller 36 on the movable plate 35. When this solution is adopted, the wear between the movable plate 35 and the protrusion 33 can be reduced because the roller 36 and the protrusion 33 are subjected to rolling friction.

[0047] Reference Figure 5To ensure smooth movement of the gripper 21, one feasible solution is as follows: the protrusion 33 includes a shrinking section 331, a filling section 332, and an expanding section 333 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. The filling section 332 is located below the filling assembly 4. With this solution, the movable plate 35 can smoothly transition to the filling section 332 under the action of the shrinking section 331, and the movable plate 35 can smoothly release from the filling section 332 under the action of the expanding section 333, thereby making the process of the gripper 21 moving closer or further away smooth.

[0048] This solution does not limit the specific structure of the filling component 4. One feasible solution is that the filling component 4 includes a conduit 41 for conveying wasabi sauce and a filling valve 42 installed on the conduit 41. When this solution is adopted, after the conveyor belt 1 conveys the container to the bottom of the conduit 41, the filling valve 42 is opened to fill the container with wasabi sauce. After filling is completed, the filling valve 42 is closed, and this process is repeated.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 1 is connected to a stepper motor (not shown in the figure), and the filling valve 42 is a solenoid valve. By controlling the conveyor belt 1 through pulse signals, the filling position of the container can be adjusted more accurately, and then the filling valve 42 can be controlled to perform filling.

[0050] To address the challenge of securing containers of varying sizes, this solution involves conveying containers sequentially to the filling assembly 4 via a conveyor belt 1. The drive unit 3 moves two grippers 21 closer together to hold the container, facilitating its securing and filling. After filling, the drive unit 3 moves the two grippers 21 further apart to release the container, allowing it to be moved to subsequent processing equipment. By adjusting the distance between the two grippers 21, containers of different sizes can be held, improving compatibility and resolving the problem of securing containers of different sizes.

[0051] In order to facilitate the two grippers 21 moving away from each other, in this solution, since the drive unit 3 includes a guide rod 31 passing through the gripper 21 and a first spring 32 is installed between the two grippers 21, when the two grippers 21 approach each other, the first spring 32 is compressed and energy is stored. After filling is completed, the energy is released through the first spring 32 and the two grippers 21 are pushed away from each other.

[0052] To facilitate bringing the two grippers 21 closer together, in this design, the drive unit 3 also includes two protrusions 33 symmetrically arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The side of the gripper 21 away from the first spring 32 is connected to a second spring 34, and the second spring 34 is connected to a movable plate 35. The movable plate 35 cooperates with the protrusions 33. As the conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping unit 2 to move to the protrusions 33, the two protrusions 33 bring the two movable plates 35 closer together, thereby driving the two grippers 21 closer together. Under the action of the second spring 34, the grippers 21 can make elastic contact with the container to avoid damaging the container.
