Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a recycling tank for a liquid food filling line. Background Technology
[0002] In liquid food (white vinegar, soy sauce, cooking wine) filling lines, the mainstream method is to use rotary filling machines for continuous filling.
[0003] During the filling process, after the bottle is loaded, it is pushed upwards and then the liquid food is filled through the rotary filling machine. Then the bottle is lowered. During this process, there will be liquid spillage, which needs to be cleaned manually. For highly volatile foods such as white vinegar, there will be a pungent odor after spillage, which is harmful to the human body, especially causing respiratory irritation and digestive discomfort.
[0004] Based on the above problems, we designed a recycling tank for liquid food filling lines that is installed on the outside of a rotary filling machine to catch spilled liquids and discharge liquids with pungent odors. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a recycling tank for liquid food filling lines that is installed on the outside of a rotary filling machine to collect spilled liquid and discharge liquids with a pungent odor.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A recycling tank for a liquid food filling line includes,
[0008] The annular container, in use, is fitted onto the outside of the base of the rotary filling machine. The annular container has an annular liquid storage tank, a portion of which is located below the rotary table of the filling machine, allowing liquid spilled from the filling machine to flow into the storage tank.
[0009] An exhaust system is installed through the annular container to exhaust odors that are released during the filling process to the outside.
[0010] Preferably, an overflow pipe, an inlet pipe, and a drain pipe are installed on the outside of the annular container. The height of the overflow pipe is lower than that of the inlet pipe. The drain pipe is located near the bottom of the annular container, and a valve is installed at the drain pipe.
[0011] Preferably, negative pressure holes are distributed in a ring near the top of the outer wall of the annular container. The negative pressure holes are connected to the liquid storage tank. The height of the negative pressure holes is higher than the height of the water inlet pipe. The exhaust system is coordinated with the negative pressure holes.
[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is fitted at the top of the inner ring of the annular container, forming a seal between the sealing ring and the outer wall of the base of the rotary filling machine.
[0013] Preferably, the exhaust system includes a negative pressure air ring fixed to the outside of the annular container, the negative pressure air ring corresponding to the negative pressure hole, and a fan installed on the outside of the negative pressure air ring. When the fan is started, a negative pressure suction is formed at the negative pressure hole.
[0014] Preferably, a negative pressure air plate is installed at the upper end of the negative pressure air ring, and first negative pressure holes are evenly distributed on the end of the negative pressure air plate facing the rotary filling machine. A first fan is installed on the outer side of the negative pressure air plate, and the fan is connected to a three-way pipe. A bend connecting the three-way pipe is installed at the air outlet end of the first fan, and the three-way pipe is connected to an exhaust pipe.
[0015] Preferably, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the negative pressure air plate, and metal flexible hoses are installed in the mounting holes.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This device can collect liquids through a ring-shaped container, which is especially useful when a bottle explodes and a large amount of spilled liquid is generated. The ring-shaped container can effectively collect the liquid.
[0018] The exhaust system allows for circumferential ventilation of the rotary filling machine, enabling the volatile food odors to be quickly expelled and preventing an increase in odor concentration within the workshop. Furthermore, this extraction method is specifically targeted at the rotary filling machine. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See Figure 1 The shown is a recycling tank for a liquid food filling line, comprising:
[0030] The annular container 1, in use, is fitted onto the outside of the base of the rotary filling machine. The annular container 1 has an annular liquid storage tank 111, a portion of which is located below the rotary table of the rotary filling machine, allowing liquid spilled from the filling machine to flow into the liquid storage tank 111.
[0031] Ventilation system 2 is installed through the annular container 1 and exhausts the odors that are volatilized during the filling process to the outside.
[0032] In the above technical solution, the spilled liquid is collected through the annular container 1.
[0033] The volatile odors are discharged outdoors through the exhaust system 2 to prevent the odor concentration in the filling workshop from exceeding the standard.
[0034] See Figure 1 As shown, an overflow pipe 101, an inlet pipe 102, and a drain pipe 103 are installed on the outside of the annular container 1. The height of the overflow pipe 101 is lower than the height of the inlet pipe 102. The drain pipe 103 is located near the bottom of the annular container 1, and a valve 104 is installed at the drain pipe 103.
[0035] The overflow pipe 101 has a drainage capacity greater than the inlet pipe 102 to ensure that the water level does not exceed the overflow pipe 101.
[0036] The purpose of filling the annular container 1 with water is to dilute the incoming liquid.
[0037] Maintain a water change rate of approximately 5 liters per hour.
[0038] See Figure 1 and 2 As shown, negative pressure holes 121 are distributed in a ring shape along the circumference of the annular container 1 near the top position on the outer wall of the annular container 1. The negative pressure holes 121 are connected to the liquid storage tank 111. The height of the negative pressure holes 121 is higher than the height of the water inlet pipe 102. The exhaust system 2 is coordinated with the negative pressure holes 121.
[0039] The ring-shaped distribution of negative pressure holes 121 can effectively absorb volatile odors by drawing negative pressure around the rotary filling machine.
[0040] See Figure 1 As shown, a sealing ring 131 is fitted at the top of the inner ring of the annular container 1, forming a seal between the sealing ring 131 and the outer wall of the base of the rotary filling machine.
[0041] The sealing ring 131 can increase the sealing performance of the annular container 1 and the base of the rotary filling machine.
[0042] See Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust system 2 includes a negative pressure air ring 21 fixed to the outside of the annular container 1. The negative pressure air ring 21 is arranged in a circle around the circumference of the annular container 1. The negative pressure hole 121 communicates with the inner cavity of the negative pressure air ring 21. A fan 22 is installed on the outside of the negative pressure air ring 21. When the fan 22 is started, a negative pressure suction is formed at the negative pressure hole 121.
[0043] The fan 22 has an integrated control panel for setting the wind speed of the fan 22.
[0044] See Figure 2 As shown, a negative pressure air plate 23 is installed at the upper end of the negative pressure air ring 21. The end of the negative pressure air plate 23 facing the rotary filling machine has first negative pressure holes 231 evenly distributed. A first fan 24 is installed on the outer side of the negative pressure air plate 23. The fan 24 is connected to a three-way pipe 25. The air outlet end of the first fan 24 is equipped with a bend 26 connected to the three-way pipe 25. The three-way pipe 25 is connected to an exhaust pipe 27.
[0045] The first fan 24 also integrates a control panel for individually setting the wind speed of the first fan 24.
[0046] In the above technical solution, the use of a relatively taller negative pressure air plate 23 can increase the height of negative pressure capture when the rotary filling machine is rotating, without affecting manual bottle loading.
[0047] See Figure 2 As shown, mounting holes 232 are provided at both ends of the negative pressure air plate 23, and a metal flexible hose 233 is installed in the mounting holes 232.
[0048] The metal hose 233 can be bent and deformed. After bending, volatile odors in the air are absorbed through the end of the metal hose 233.
