[0002] Driven by the trend of consumption upgrading, carbonated beverages have become increasingly popular among consumers due to their unique taste and refreshing drinking experience, leading to continuous market expansion. The quality of carbonated beverages largely depends on the precision of adding gases such as nitrogen during the bottling process. Precise nitrogen addition not only ensures the richness and persistence of the bubbles but also enhances the overall flavor of the product.

[0003] However, traditional carbonated beverage filling equipment has several shortcomings in the nitrogen addition process. Firstly, the positioning of beverage containers is not precise enough, leading to problems such as spillage and inconsistent filling volumes during the filling process, severely impacting product quality and production efficiency. Secondly, the control of liquid level and pressure in the storage tank is not precise enough, making it difficult to achieve stable and accurate nitrogen addition, resulting in inconsistent product quality. Furthermore, most traditional equipment has a low degree of automation, relying heavily on manual operation, which not only increases production costs but also introduces quality fluctuations caused by human factors.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a precise nitrogen addition control device for carbonated beverage filling, comprising:

[0027] The feeding assembly 100 includes a bracket 101, a support platform 102 fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 101, a support seat 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 102, a column 104 inserted into the upper end of the support seat 103, and a robot arm 105 rotatably mounted on the end of the column 104, the end of the robot arm 105 extending above the center of the support platform 102.

[0028] The control assembly 200 includes a turntable 201 rotatably mounted at the center of the support platform 102, a positioning seat 202 fixedly connected to the side wall of the turntable 201, a sleeve 203 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 102, a support rod 204 inserted into the center of the sleeve 203, and a liquid storage tank 205 fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the support rod 204. The end of the liquid storage tank 205 is fitted with a liquid outlet structure that cooperates with the positioning seat 202.

[0029] The support platform 102 is fixed to the upper end of the bracket 101, providing not only a working surface but also a mounting base for other components. The support base 103 is fixed to the side wall of the support platform 102 and is used to insert the column 104. A robotic arm 105 is rotatably mounted at the end of the column 104. The robotic arm 105 can rotate flexibly, and its end extends above the center of the support platform 102, responsible for grasping and placing beverage containers to be filled, achieving efficient feeding operations. The storage tank 205 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the support rod 204 and is used to store nitrogen-containing filling liquid. An outlet structure is fitted to the end of the storage tank 205, which works in conjunction with the positioning seat 202 to ensure that the filling liquid is accurately injected into the positioned beverage containers.

[0030] Specifically, the control component 200 also includes a guide plate 206 fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the liquid storage tank 205, and a guide rod 207 inserted into the middle position of the end of the guide plate 206, with the end of the guide rod 207 inserted into the center position of the upper end of the turntable 201.

[0031] During the rotation of the turntable 201, the guide rod 207 and the guide plate 206 work together to ensure the relative position of the liquid storage tank 205 and the turntable 201 is stable, so that the liquid outlet can be accurately aligned with the container on the positioning seat 202.

[0032] Furthermore, the control assembly 200 also includes a cover plate 208 fixedly connected to the upper end of the liquid storage tank 205, a connecting rod 209 sealed and inserted into the center of the cover plate 208, and a piston 210 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 209. The piston 210 is sealed and inserted into the inside of the liquid storage tank 205. The control assembly 200 also includes a fixing plate 211 fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover plate 208, and a push rod 212 fixedly connected to the end of the fixing plate 211. The output shaft end of the push rod 212 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 209.

[0033] The extension and retraction of the push rod 212 can drive the connecting rod 209 and the piston 210 to move up and down inside the liquid storage tank 205, thereby precisely controlling the pressure and liquid level inside the liquid storage tank 205 and achieving precise nitrogen addition and filling.

[0034] Preferably, the control component 200 also includes a limiting block 213 fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 208. The limiting block 213 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the connecting rod 209, and the upper side wall of the connecting rod 209 has a stepped edge that cooperates with the side wall of the limiting block 213.

[0035] The limiting block 213 and the step edge cooperate with each other to limit the movement range of the connecting rod 209 and ensure the movement accuracy of the piston 210.

[0036] It should be noted that the control assembly 200 also includes a motor 214 fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the bracket 101. The output shaft of the motor 214 is connected to the central shaft of the turntable 201 via a coupling. The control assembly 200 also includes a lever 215 hinged to the side wall of the bracket 101 and an eccentric wheel 216 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 214. Rollers are symmetrically installed at the end of the lever 215, and one end of the lever 215 rolls in contact with the side wall of the eccentric wheel 216 through the roller. The bottom of the support rod 204 passes through the sleeve 203 and extends to the bottom of the support platform 102. The roller at the other end of the lever 215 rolls in contact with the bottom of the support rod 204.

[0037] The motor 214 provides power for the rotation of the turntable 201, ensuring that the container can accurately stop at the predetermined position during the filling process. When the motor 214 is running, the eccentric wheel 216 rotates accordingly, driving the support rod 204 to move up and down through the lever 215, thereby adjusting the height of the storage tank 205. This allows the storage tank 205 to intermittently rise and fall with the rotation of the turntable 201, docking with the container that needs nitrogen addition placed in the middle of the positioning seat 202 installed on the side wall of the turntable 201.

[0038] In operation, the robotic arm 105 rotates under the drive of the column 104, grasps the beverage container to be filled, and places it on the positioning seat 202 of the turntable 201. The motor 214 starts, driving the turntable 201 to rotate, moving the positioning seat 202 containing the beverage container below the outlet structure. Simultaneously, the motor 214 drives the eccentric wheel 216 to rotate, causing the support rod 204 to move up and down via the lever 215, thereby adjusting the height of the storage tank 205 to ensure accurate alignment between the outlet and the container opening. The push rod 212 pushes the connecting rod 209 and piston 210 downwards, increasing the pressure inside the storage tank 205, allowing the nitrogen-containing filling liquid to be injected into the beverage container through the outlet structure. After filling is complete, the turntable 201 continues to rotate, sending out the filled container, while a new container to be filled is moved below the outlet, repeating the filling process.

[0039] In summary, the coordinated operation of the turntable 201, positioning seat 202, guide rod 207, and outlet structure enables precise positioning and filling of the beverage container, improving filling accuracy and consistency. Precise control of liquid level and pressure: The design of the piston 210, push rod 212, and limit block 213 allows for precise control of the liquid level and pressure within the storage tank 205, ensuring accurate nitrogen addition and improving the quality of carbonated beverages.
