Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine technology for collectable materials, and more particularly to a filling machine for collectable materials. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, filling machines are widely used in many fields such as food, medicine, and daily chemicals, undertaking the task of efficient and precise liquid filling. The filling machine completes the product sealing by transporting liquid from the storage container to the filling hopper, and then injecting the liquid into the packaging container (such as bottles, cans, etc.).
[0003] In actual production, after the filling tank is filled and removed, a certain amount of liquid often remains at the outlet of the filling hopper. This residual liquid mainly comes from the inertial flow of the liquid in the pipeline at the end of the filling process and the phenomenon of liquid adhering to the wall due to surface tension. If the residual liquid is not treated in time, the dripping liquid will contaminate the surface of the filling station, which not only increases the workload of equipment cleaning and maintenance and increases production costs, but may also breed bacteria and affect the hygiene quality of subsequent products. Especially in industries with extremely high hygiene requirements, such as food and medicine, the risk of contamination by residual liquid seriously threatens the safety and compliance of products. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a filling machine that can collect materials.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a filling machine capable of collecting materials, comprising a base, a column fixedly connected to the base, an mounting plate fixedly connected to the column, a filling hopper fixedly connected to the mounting plate, a placement plate fixedly connected to the column, a storage tank fixedly connected to the base, a liquid pump fixedly connected to the storage tank, a delivery pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid pump, a collection structure provided on the column, the collection structure mainly consisting of a rotating ring, the rotating ring being rotatably connected to the column via bearings, and a receiving tray fixedly connected to the rotating ring.
[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the operator places the can on the placement plate, starts the liquid pump, the liquid pump pumps the liquid in the storage tank to the filling hopper, and then the liquid enters the can. After filling is completed, the rotating ring is rotated so that the liquid receiving tray is directly under the filling hopper, and then the can is removed. The small amount of liquid remaining in the filling hopper falls into the liquid receiving tray for collection, thus avoiding the situation where dripping liquid contaminates the surface of the filling table, which not only increases the workload of equipment cleaning and maintenance and increases production costs, but may also breed bacteria and affect the hygiene quality of subsequent products.
[0007] Preferably, a disc gear is fixedly connected to the rotating ring, an equipment plate is fixedly connected to the column, and a flat gear is rotatably connected to the equipment plate through a bearing, the flat gear meshing with the disc gear.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that rotating the flat gear will drive the disc gear to rotate, which in turn will drive the rotating ring to rotate.
[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the device board, and the spur gear is driven to rotate by the motor.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the output end of the motor is connected to the flat gear through the reducer and coupling. The model of the motor is 17HS4401. First, the power is turned on to power the motor control system. Then, the motor is started to drive the flat gear to rotate. The rotation angle can be controlled by the encoder to make the liquid receiving tray position accurate.
[0011] Preferably, the base is provided with a collection tray, the liquid receiving tray is fixedly connected to a fixed tube, one end of the fixed tube is fixedly connected to a flexible tube, and the flexible tube is connected to the collection tray.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the liquid in the receiving tray will flow downward through the fixed tube and enter the collection tray through the hose. The hose can adapt to the displacement of the receiving tray. The collection tray can not only collect the liquid collected multiple times in the receiving tray, but also collect any missed liquid.
[0013] Preferably, the filling hopper is provided with an adjustment structure, which is mainly composed of a corrugated cylinder. The corrugated cylinder is fixedly connected to the filling hopper, and a fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the corrugated cylinder.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the corrugated cylinder, the fixed cylinder, and the filling hopper together form a filling container, and the liquid volume of a single filling can be adjusted by adjusting the expansion and contraction of the corrugated cylinder.
[0015] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is fixedly connected in the fixed cylinder, and a solenoid valve is provided on the filling hopper.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: The liquid level sensor is model FS-IR32A. The liquid level sensor continuously emits infrared light. When it is not in contact with the liquid, the light signal is transmitted through the air and received normally by the receiving tube. When the liquid reaches the sensor position, the intensity of the infrared light received by the receiving tube is significantly reduced due to the scattering or refraction of the liquid. The internal circuit of the sensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal. After comparing the electrical signal with a preset threshold, it outputs a switch signal. The power is amplified through a relay or driver to drive the liquid pump to perform a shut-off action, stopping the pumping of liquid. Then the controller drives the solenoid valve to open, allowing the liquid to enter the can placed on the placement plate. Then the solenoid valve is closed, and the next filling operation is performed.
[0017] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the fixing cylinder, a sliding groove is provided on the fixing block, a sliding rod is slidably connected in the sliding groove, a locking rod is fixedly connected to the sliding rod, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the base, and a plurality of locking slots are provided on the fixing rod.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: after the fixing block drives the fixing cylinder to adjust to the appropriate position, the sliding rod slides so that the locking rod is inserted into the corresponding slot, which can limit the fixing cylinder. The fixing rod is also equipped with a scale, which makes it convenient for staff to observe the filling amount.
[0019] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the slide rod, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove.
[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the locking rod is inserted into the slot, the spring is in a contracted state, so the spring's rebound force acts on the slide rod, making the limiting more stable.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, by setting up a collection structure, the worker places the canned goods on the placement plate, starts the liquid pump, and the liquid pump pumps the liquid in the storage tank to the filling hopper. Then the liquid enters the canned goods. After filling is completed, the rotating ring is rotated so that the liquid receiving tray is directly under the filling hopper. Then the can is removed, and the small amount of liquid remaining in the filling hopper falls into the liquid receiving tray for collection. This avoids the situation where dripping liquid contaminates the surface of the filling table, which not only increases the workload of equipment cleaning and maintenance and increases production costs, but also may breed bacteria and affect the hygiene quality of subsequent products.

[0028] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a material-collecting filling machine includes a base 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the base 1, an mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to the column 2, a filling hopper 4 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3, a placement plate 5 fixedly connected to the column 2, a liquid storage tank 6 fixedly connected to the base 1, a liquid pump 9 fixedly connected to the liquid storage tank 6, and a delivery pipe 10 fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid pump 9.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A collection structure 7 is installed on the column 2. The collection structure 7 mainly consists of a rotating ring 71, which is rotatably connected to the column 2 via bearings. A liquid receiving tray 72 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 71. The operator places the can on the placement plate 5 and starts the liquid pump 9. The liquid pump 9 pumps the liquid from the storage tank 6 into the filling hopper 4, and then the liquid enters the can. After filling, the rotating ring 71 is rotated so that the liquid receiving tray 72 rotates to directly below the filling hopper 4. Then the can is removed, and the small amount of liquid remaining in the filling hopper 4 falls into the liquid receiving tray 72 for collection. This avoids the situation where dripping liquid contaminates the surface of the filling table, which not only increases the workload of equipment cleaning and maintenance and increases production costs, but also may breed bacteria and affect the hygiene quality of subsequent products. A disc gear 73 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 71, and an equipment plate 75 is fixedly connected to the column 2. A spur gear 74 is rotatably connected to the equipment plate 75 via bearings. The spur gear 74 meshes with the disc gear 73, and the rotation... The spur gear 74 drives the disc gear 73 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating ring 71 to rotate. A motor 76 is fixedly connected to the equipment plate 75. The spur gear 74 is driven to rotate by the motor 76. The output end of the motor 76 is connected to the spur gear 74 through a reducer and a coupling. The model of the motor 76 is 17HS4401. First, the power is turned on to power the control system of the motor 76. Then, the motor 76 is started to drive the spur gear 74 to rotate. The rotation angle can be controlled by an encoder to make the liquid receiving tray 72 accurately positioned. A collection tray 77 is set on the base 1. A fixed pipe 78 is fixedly connected to the liquid receiving tray 72. One end of the fixed pipe 78 is fixedly connected to a hose 79. The hose 79 is connected to the collection tray 77. The liquid in the liquid receiving tray 72 will flow downward through the fixed pipe 78 and enter the collection tray 77 through the hose 79. The hose 79 can adapt to the displacement of the liquid receiving tray 72. The collection tray 77 can not only collect the liquid collected multiple times in the liquid receiving tray 72, but also collect any missed liquid.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The filling hopper 4 is equipped with an adjustment structure 8, which mainly consists of a corrugated cylinder 81. The corrugated cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to the filling hopper 4, and a fixed cylinder 82 is fixedly connected to the corrugated cylinder 81. The corrugated cylinder 81, the fixed cylinder 82, and the filling hopper 4 together form a filling container. The liquid quantity filled in one filling can be adjusted by adjusting the expansion and contraction of the corrugated cylinder 81. A liquid level sensor 86 is fixedly connected in the fixed cylinder 82. A solenoid valve 85 is installed on the filling hopper 4. The liquid level sensor 86 is model FS-IR32A. The liquid level sensor 86 continuously emits infrared light. When it is not in contact with liquid, the light signal is normally received by the receiving tube after propagation through the air. When the liquid reaches the sensor position, the infrared light intensity received by the receiving tube is significantly reduced due to the scattering or refraction of the liquid. The internal circuit of the sensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal. After comparing the electrical signal with a preset threshold, a switch signal is output. The power is amplified through a relay or driver to drive the liquid pump 9 to perform a shut-off action, stopping the pumping of liquid. The controller drives the solenoid valve 85 to open, allowing liquid to enter the filling tank placed on the placement plate 5. Then, the solenoid valve 85 is closed to proceed with the next filling operation. A fixing block 87 is fixedly connected to the fixing cylinder 82. A sliding groove 810 is provided on the fixing block 87, and a sliding rod 83 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 810. A locking rod 811 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 83. A fixing rod 88 is fixedly connected to the base 1. Several locking slots 89 are provided on the fixing rod 88. The fixing block 87 drives the fixing cylinder 82 to adjust. After the section is moved to the appropriate position, slide the slide bar 83 so that the locking rod 811 is inserted into the corresponding slot 89, which can limit the fixed cylinder 82. The fixed rod 88 is provided with a scale for easy observation of the filling amount by the staff. A spring 84 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 83. One end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 810. When the locking rod 811 is inserted into the slot 89, the spring 84 is in a contracted state. Therefore, the rebound force of the spring 84 acts on the slide bar 83, making the limiting more stable.
[0031] The working principle is as follows: The operator places the can on the placement plate 5 and starts the liquid pump 9. The liquid pump 9 pumps the liquid from the storage tank 6 into the filling hopper 4. The liquid then enters the can. After filling, the rotating ring 71 rotates the receiving tray 72 to directly below the filling hopper 4. The can is then removed. A small amount of residual liquid in the filling hopper 4 falls into the receiving tray 72 for collection, thus preventing the dripping liquid from contaminating the filling table surface. This avoids not only increasing the workload of equipment cleaning and maintenance and raising production costs, but also potentially breeding bacteria and affecting the hygiene quality of subsequent products. Rotating the flat gear 74 drives the disc gear 73 to rotate. This drives the rotating ring 71 to rotate. The output end of the motor 76 is connected to the spur gear 74 through a reducer and coupling. The model of the motor 76 is 17HS4401. First, the power is turned on to power the control system of the motor 76. Then, starting the motor 76 can drive the spur gear 74 to rotate. The rotation angle can be controlled by an encoder to ensure that the liquid receiving tray 72 is accurately positioned. The liquid in the liquid receiving tray 72 will flow downward through the fixed pipe 78 and enter the collection tray 77 through the hose 79. The hose 79 can adapt to the displacement of the liquid receiving tray 72. The collection tray 77 can not only collect the liquid collected multiple times in the liquid receiving tray 72, but also collect any leaked liquid. The corrugated cylinder 81, fixed cylinder 82, and filling hopper 4 together form a filling container. The amount of liquid filled in one go can be adjusted by adjusting the extension and retraction of the corrugated cylinder 81. The liquid level sensor 86 is model FS-IR32A. The liquid level sensor 86 continuously emits infrared light. When it is not in contact with the liquid, the light signal is normally received by the receiving tube after propagation through the air. When the liquid reaches the sensor position, the intensity of the infrared light received by the receiving tube is significantly reduced due to the scattering or refraction of the liquid. The internal circuit of the sensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal. After comparing the electrical signal with a preset threshold, it outputs a switching signal, which is amplified by a relay or driver to drive the liquid level sensor. The liquid pump 9 shuts down, stopping the pumping of liquid. Then, the controller drives the solenoid valve 85 to open, allowing the liquid to enter the filling tank placed on the placement plate 5. The solenoid valve 85 is then closed to allow for the next filling operation. After the fixing block 87 adjusts the fixing cylinder 82 to the appropriate position, the sliding rod 83 slides, causing the locking rod 811 to insert into the corresponding slot 89, which limits the fixing cylinder 82. The fixing rod 88 is also marked with graduations, making it easy for staff to observe the filling amount. When the locking rod 811 is inserted into the slot 89, the spring 84 is in a contracted state. Therefore, the rebound force of the spring 84 acts on the sliding rod 83, making the limiting more stable.
