Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment, and in particular to a dual-feed mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Filling bottles, as a widely used aseptic pharmaceutical packaging container, are extensively used in liquid filling production lines in the pharmaceutical industry. Filling production lines generally prioritize high efficiency, which means that filling bottles need to be supplied continuously and stably at a certain speed before reaching the filling station. The smoothness and reliability of the feeding process directly affect the overall operating efficiency, product qualification rate, and equipment downtime rate of the production line.
[0003] In existing bottle filling equipment feeding systems, a common design is to use a straight feeding track or a track with long straight sections. Bottles typically move on these tracks by gravity or mechanical pushing force (such as screws, rollers, or conveyor belts). This design has a significant drawback in practical applications: because the track is straight (or has long straight acceleration sections), bottles experience continuous and significant linear impact forces during transport, especially when accelerated from upstream buffer zones (such as oscillating discs or bottle sorting tables) into the high-speed, narrow track section, or when pushed by a continuous stack of bottles behind them. This impact causes excessive instantaneous or cumulative stress on the bottles, leading to damage or squeezing, causing bottles to jam, topple, and block the feeding track, forcing the production line to stop for cleaning and severely impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the current dual-feed mechanism, this utility model can prevent bottle squeezing and improve filling efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions:
[0006] A dual-feed mechanism for a filling and capping machine includes a turntable, characterized in that the turntable is concentrically provided with a paddle, and one side of the turntable is connected to a guardrail inlet for conveying filling bottles.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, the second track includes a counterclockwise circular arc segment and a straight line segment.
[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, one side of the paddle is provided with an arc-shaped groove.
[0009] According to one aspect of this utility model, the turntable is made of an anti-static material.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a dual-feed mechanism for a filling and capping machine includes a turntable 1. The turntable 1 is characterized by having a paddle 2 concentrically mounted on it. One side of the turntable 1 is connected to a guardrail inlet 3 for conveying filling bottles. The guardrail inlet 3 is equipped with a monitoring device. The guardrail inlet 3 includes a first guide plate 31 and a second guide plate 32. A rotating shaft 4 is located at the tip of either the first guide plate 31 or the second guide plate 32. A first track 33 is provided between the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32. The second guide plate 32 is connected to a second track 34. Filling bottles are fed simultaneously from both the first track 33 and the second track 34, achieving dual-feed efficiency. The guardrail inlet 3 employs a roller design to decompose the impact of straight-line feeding, resulting in gentler bottle feeding and reducing the risk of bottle squeezing.
[0025] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is connected to a feed inlet 7 on the side away from the guardrail inlet 3.
[0026] In practical applications, the second track 34 includes a counterclockwise circular arc segment and a straight line segment. The bottle enters through the counterclockwise circular arc segment, effectively reducing the impact of the straight line and lowering the risk of bottle crushing.
[0027] In practical applications, one side of the lever 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove.
[0028] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is made of anti-static material. The use of anti-static material prevents static electricity from being generated during bottle handling due to friction between the bottles and the turntable 1, thus preventing bottles from tipping over.
[0029] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
[0030] In practical applications, a first detection device 5 is provided on the inner side of the first track 33, and a first detection device 5 is provided on the inner side of the second track 34. The first detection device 5 is used to detect whether there is a bottle being filled, and through the first detection device 5, the system can be linked to achieve no filling if there is no bottle.
[0031] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is equipped with a second detection device 6. The second detection device 6 is used to detect the cumulative amount, and the filling machine and the front and rear ends can be linked through the second detection device 6.
[0032] In practical applications, a transmission device 8 is connected to the end of the guardrail inlet 3.
[0033] The effective effects of this utility model are as follows: dual-track feeding ensures feeding efficiency; the turntable 1 is made of anti-static material to prevent static electricity from being generated by friction between the bottle and the turntable 1 during the bottle handling process, thus preventing bottle tipping; the guardrail inlet 3 adopts a roller design to decompose the impact in a straight line, making the bottle feeding gentler and less likely to squeeze the bottle; the turntable 1 is equipped with a cumulative volume monitoring system, which can be linked to the filling machine and the front and rear ends for coordinated operation; the bottle feeding track is equipped with a bottle monitoring system, which can be linked to achieve no-bottle-no-filling.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a dual-feed mechanism for a filling and capping machine includes a turntable 1 with a paddle 2 concentrically mounted on it. One side of the turntable 1 is connected to a guardrail inlet 3 for conveying bottles. The guardrail inlet 3 is equipped with a monitoring device. The guardrail inlet 3 includes a first guide plate 31 and a second guide plate 32. A rotating shaft 4 is located at the tip of either the first guide plate 31 or the second guide plate 32. A first track 33 is provided between the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32. A second track 34 is connected to the second guide plate 32. The first track 33 includes a counter-clockwise arc segment and a clockwise arc segment, while the second track 34 includes a counter-clockwise arc segment and a straight segment. The bottles enter through the counter-clockwise arc segment, effectively reducing straight-line impact and lowering the risk of bottle squeezing. The bottles are fed simultaneously from both the first track 33 and the second track 34, achieving dual-feed efficiency. When passing through the first track 33, the flow is first along the counterclockwise arc segment, then through the clockwise arc segment, which effectively breaks down the straight-line impact, making the bottle entry gentler and less likely to cause bottle squeezing. When passing through the second track 34, the flow is first along the counterclockwise arc segment, then through the straight segment, which effectively reduces the straight-line impact and further reduces the risk of bottle squeezing.
[0036] In practical applications, the tip of the first guide plate 31 or the second guide plate 32 is equipped with a rotating shaft 4. The guardrail inlet 3 adopts a roller design to decompose the impact in a straight line, making the bottle entry gentler and less likely to squeeze the bottle.
[0037] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is connected to a feed inlet 7 on the side away from the guardrail inlet 3.
[0038] In practical applications, one side of the lever 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove.
[0039] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is made of anti-static material. This anti-static material prevents static electricity from being generated during bottle handling due to friction between the bottles and the turntable 1, thus preventing bottles from tipping over.
[0040] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
[0041] In practical applications, a first detection device 5 is provided on the inner side of the first track 33, and a first detection device 5 is provided on the inner side of the second track 34. The first detection device 5 is used to detect whether there is a bottle being filled, and through the first detection device 5, the system can be linked to achieve no filling if there is no bottle.
[0042] In practical applications, the turntable 1 is equipped with a second detection device 6. The second detection device 6 is used to detect the cumulative amount, and the filling machine and the front and rear ends can be linked through the second detection device 6.
[0043] In practical applications, a transmission device 8 is connected to the end of the guardrail inlet 3.
[0044] The effective effects of this utility model are as follows: dual-track feeding ensures feeding efficiency; the turntable 1 is made of anti-static material to prevent static electricity from being generated by friction between the bottle and the turntable 1 during the bottle handling process, thus preventing bottle tipping; the guardrail inlet 3 adopts a roller design to decompose the impact in a straight line, making the bottle feeding gentler and less likely to squeeze the bottle; the turntable 1 is equipped with a cumulative volume monitoring system, which can be linked to the filling machine and the front and rear ends for coordinated operation; the bottle feeding track is equipped with a bottle monitoring system, which can be linked to achieve no-bottle-no-filling.
