Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment technology, and more specifically to a solid beverage filling and sealing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Solid beverages are a type of soft drink. They have always been popular with consumers due to their variety, unique flavors, and ease of storage. Solid beverages are generally available in powder or granule form and are mainly packaged in bags or cans.

[0003] This utility model focuses on the filling and sealing of canned solid beverages. In large-scale solid beverage processing plants, to pursue production efficiency, assembly line equipment is generally used to place, fill, cap, seal, and screw on canned solid beverages. This involves numerous steps, and the equipment used for these steps requires high precision, complex structure, a wide variety of sensors and controllers, and a high degree of electrification, resulting in high equipment costs. Furthermore, the assembly line is long and occupies a large area. If one or more of these steps are completed manually, although the equipment cost is reduced, the labor cost will increase, requiring multiple people to work together on the assembly line.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an integrated solid beverage filling and sealing device that requires only a single operator to complete the filling and sealing process of canned solid beverages is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a solid beverage filling and sealing equipment. Through the intermittent rotation of a first rotating disc with multiple can placement slots and the corresponding processing device, it realizes automated and continuous operation of multiple processes such as filling and sealing, reduces manual intervention, and greatly improves production speed. Moreover, both the first and second rotating discs extend out of the housing, which not only reduces the equipment's footprint but also allows operators to manually operate from the first side wall to pick up and place cans and lids without frequent relocation, thus automating the production process, reducing labor costs, and also reducing errors and instabilities caused by manual operation. This solves the technical problems of large footprint and high labor costs in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A solid beverage filling and sealing device, comprising:

[0008] The box has a processing platform arranged horizontally inside, and the box has a first side wall with a first clearance hole.

[0009] A first rotating disk that rotates clockwise at 90° intervals is rotatably mounted on the processing platform. The upper surface of the first rotating disk is provided with an operating station, a feeding station, a sealing station, and a capping station at equal intervals near its edge. Each of the feeding station, sealing station, and capping station has a corresponding can placement slot. The inner wall of the can placement slot is fitted with a clamping component that can clamp and position the can. The peripheral end of the first rotating disk can rotate from the first clearance hole to the outside of the first side wall and correspond to the operating station to replace the can.

[0010] The feeding mechanism, sealing mechanism, and capping mechanism are located inside the housing. These mechanisms are arranged clockwise along the circumference of the first rotating disk. When the operating station corresponds to the outside of the first side wall, the discharge port of the feeding mechanism is coaxially spaced opposite to the tank placement slot of the feeding station. The sealing mechanism includes a second rotating disk and a capping assembly. The second rotating disk is rotatably mounted below the top plate of the housing. A second clearance hole is provided above the first clearance hole on the first side wall, allowing the peripheral edge of the second rotating disk to rotate out of the first side wall of the housing, and its axis is aligned with the axis of the first rotating disk. The capping assemblies are arranged in a staggered manner, and are installed at intervals on the lower edge of the second rotating plate. Each capping assembly has a placement cavity for accommodating a can cap with a diaphragm. The lower sealing port of the capping assembly is coaxially spaced opposite to the can placement slot of the sealing station, so that the top wall of the placement cavity presses the can cap onto the top of the can. A heat-sealing part is embedded in the top of the placement cavity to heat-seal the diaphragm inside the can cap at the can opening. The capping mechanism is vertically mounted in the housing, and its capping output port is coaxially opposite to the can placement slot of the capping station to clamp the can cap and rotate it to tighten it.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, this utility model discloses a solid beverage filling and sealing device. First, the can is placed in the can placement slot of the operating position of the first rotating disc and fixed by a clamping assembly. The first rotating disc rotates clockwise intermittently at 90° intervals. After rotating 90°, the can, originally in the operating position, is brought into the feeding position. The discharge port of the feeding mechanism is coaxially aligned with the can placement slot of the feeding position, and the solid beverage raw materials accurately fall into the can through the feeding mechanism, completing the filling operation. The first rotating disc rotates another 90°, and the can... The can body is brought into the sealing station. The operator places the can lid containing the film in the placement cavity of the capping assembly on the second rotating plate. The second rotating plate moves the capping assembly above the sealing station. Under the action of the lifting mechanism, the capping assembly moves down to the can body, closes the can lid with the lid, and performs the sealing process. The first rotating plate continues to rotate 90°, and the can body enters the capping station. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the capping mechanism's capping output port is coaxially aligned with the can placement slot of the capping station, tightening the can lid on the already sealed can body, completing the entire filling and sealing process. This filling and sealing equipment, through a circular processing line, requires only a single operator to place the can body and the can lid containing the film in front of the tank, while simultaneously observing the operation of each processing device. This allows for the independent completion of the filling and sealing process. The circular processing line not only reduces the equipment's footprint but also reduces reliance on manual labor, lowering the company's labor costs. It also reduces losses due to human error, making the production process more stable and reliable.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes multiple sets of clamping arc plates and first springs. Multiple first assembly slots are spaced apart on the wall of the can placement slot. Multiple clamping arc plates are correspondingly installed on the outside of the slot opening of the first assembly slot. Multiple first springs are installed in the first assembly slot along the radial direction of the can placement slot to elastically support the clamping arc plates.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: During the intermittent rotation of the first rotating disk, the can may sway due to inertial forces. Under the action of the first spring, the clamping arc plate can continuously apply clamping force to the can, effectively preventing swaying and displacement, and ensuring that the can is accurately operated at each station; at the same time, it can also prevent the can from rotating during the capping process, ensuring the smooth progress of the capping process.

[0014] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding funnel and a solenoid valve. The feeding funnel is installed on the top plate of the box and its inlet is located outside the box. The solenoid valve is installed at the outlet of the feeding funnel to control the discharge amount.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the solenoid valve can accurately control the opening and closing degree and discharge time of the feeding funnel outlet, thereby achieving precise control of the discharge amount, ensuring that each tank can obtain an accurate amount of solid beverage raw materials, avoiding excessive or insufficient filling, and ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0016] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a first motor, a stirring shaft, and spiral blades. The top of the feeding funnel is sealed and the edge is connected to a feed hopper. The first motor is installed on the top of the feeding funnel, and the output end of the first motor is coaxially arranged with the feeding funnel. The stirring shaft is located inside the feeding funnel and is drivenly connected to the output end of the first motor. The spiral blades are spirally installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft corresponding to the discharge port of the feeding funnel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the rotation of the spiral blades can push the raw material towards the discharge port and stir the raw material at the same time, so that the raw material forms an orderly flow in the feeding funnel, which helps to improve the flowability of the raw material. In particular, for some raw materials with small particles that are easy to electrostatically adsorb or adhere to the funnel wall, it can reduce the residue of raw material on the funnel wall and improve the conveying efficiency of raw material.

[0018] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes stirring blades, which are multiple in number and circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the stirring shaft to stir the material inside the feeding funnel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In the feeding funnel, the stirring blades continuously turn the raw materials, which can effectively prevent the raw materials from clumping and blocking, and can continuously break them up to ensure smooth flow of the raw materials and reduce the risk of feeding interruption; in addition, the stirring action of the stirring blades can accelerate the flow of raw materials in the feeding funnel, so that the raw materials gather towards the discharge port more quickly, shorten the filling time, and improve production efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the cover assembly includes a first lifting part, which includes a first electric push rod and a sealing film base. The first electric push rod is mounted on the edge of the upper plate of the second rotating disk, and its output end is arranged downward along the axial direction of the second rotating disk. The sealing film base is located below the second rotating disk and is installed at the output end of the first electric push rod.

[0021] The heat-sealing part includes a heat-sealing component, a sealing arm, and a limiting strip. The heat-sealing component is installed at the bottom of the sealing base. There are multiple sealing arms that are fixed at intervals along the circumference of the heat-sealing component on the lower plate of the sealing base. Each of the multiple sealing arms is rotatably mounted on the side wall corresponding to the axis of the sealing base, and a support member that can support the can lid is rotatably stored inside the side wall of the sealing arm.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the support provides stable support for the can lid during sealing. During descent, the sealing arm clamps onto the side wall of the can, and the top of the can abuts against the support, allowing it to be housed within the side wall of the sealing arm, thus closing the can lid on the top of the can. Then, it continues to descend, allowing the lid to abut against the heat sealing component for heat sealing, completing the sealing process. Afterward, the sealing arm rises, and the sealed can, along with the can lid, is removed from the sealing arm and moved to the next process. This simplifies the operation process. When the lid-fastening assembly is aligned with the can placement slot, it can automatically adjust to the appropriate position without manual intervention, thus improving production efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the support member includes a shaft, a limiting strip, and a second spring. Each of the plurality of sealing arms has a second mounting groove on its sidewall corresponding to the axis of the sealing base. The shaft is fixedly installed on a set of opposing groove walls within the second mounting groove in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the sealing base. The limiting strip is rotatably mounted on the shaft. One end of the limiting strip extends out of the second mounting groove and is inclined downwards along the axial direction of the sealing base, while the other end is connected to the second spring. The other end of the second spring is fixed to the sidewall of the second mounting groove away from the shaft. The protruding end of the limiting strip is located below the heat-sealing element and can be used to support a can lid with a diaphragm.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the limiting strip, connected by a shaft and a second spring, can flexibly adjust its angle and position. When the can lid is placed in the sealing position, the can body pushes the limiting strip upward and rotates it into the second assembly slot, causing the other end of the limiting strip to stretch the second spring. The side wall of the can body can abut against the limiting strip, allowing the can body to move axially within the sealing arm for the sealing process. After the sealing process is completed, the can body moves out of the sealing arm. At this time, the can body no longer stops the limiting strip, and the limiting strip, relying on the contraction force of the spring, rotates again and extends out of the second assembly slot to repeat the next sealing process.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper end face of the heat sealant is elastically mounted on the lower end face of the sealing film base by a third spring, and heating blocks are embedded in the side walls of the multiple sealing film arms near the heat sealant.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The heating block is installed on the side wall of the sealing arm, which can heat the heat sealing component evenly from the side, making its temperature distribution more uniform, avoiding local overheating or underheating, improving the sealing quality, and extending the life of the heat sealing component; The third spring buffers the impact force during sealing, reduces the wear between the heat sealing component and the can cover, improves the life of the heat sealing component, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures long-term stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, it can also provide a boosting effect on the can body when it is removed from the sealing arm, making it easier to remove the can body and the can cover together.

[0027] Furthermore, the capping mechanism includes:

[0028] The second lifting part includes a lifting leg and an extension arm. The lifting leg is arranged inside the housing and close to the first rotating disk. One end of the extension arm is fixed to the lifting end of the lifting leg and is arranged radially along the first rotating disk.

[0029] The capping part includes a second motor and a capping base. The second motor is mounted on the upper plate of the extension arm, and its output end is coaxially arranged with the can placement slot. The top of the capping base is connected to the output end of the second motor. The bottom of the capping base is provided with a clamping opening. A third assembly slot is provided at intervals on the inner sidewall of the clamping opening. A clamping column is elastically installed in the third assembly slot along the radial direction of the clamping opening to clamp and fix the can cap.

[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: by combining the coordinated work of the second lifting part and the capping part, the equipment can accurately grasp, stably clamp and reliably cap bottle caps. The reasonable design of each component ensures long-term stable operation and improves production efficiency and quality.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting block is also provided inside the capping base. The upper wall of the limiting block is connected to the inner top wall of the capping base through a fourth spring. The lower wall of the limiting block can abut against the upper end face of the can lid. The side wall of the limiting block abuts against the end of the clamping column for limiting.

[0032] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the elastic support of the fourth spring allows the limiting block to float up and down within a certain range. When the lower end face of the limiting block abuts against the can lid, the capping base continues to descend, causing the can lid to push the limiting block to move upward. The limiting block releases the abutment limit on the clamping column, causing the end of the clamping column to abut against the side wall of the lid, clamping the lid to complete the capping and tightening process.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0042] This utility model discloses a solid beverage filling and sealing device, including: a housing 1, a first rotating disk 2 that rotates intermittently at 90° clockwise, and a processing device. A processing platform 11 is horizontally arranged inside the housing 1. The housing 1 has a first sidewall with a first clearance hole. The first rotating disk 2 is rotatably mounted on the processing platform 11. An operating station, a feeding station, a sealing station, and a capping station are equidistantly arranged near its edge on the upper surface of the first rotating disk 2. Each feeding station, sealing station, and capping station has a corresponding can placement slot 21. A clamping component 22 for clamping and positioning the can is embedded in the inner wall of the can placement slot 21. The peripheral end of the first rotating disk 2 can rotate from the first clearance hole to the outside of the first sidewall and, when corresponding to the operating station, replace the can. A feeding mechanism 3, a sealing mechanism 4, and a capping mechanism 5 are arranged clockwise along the circumference of the first rotating disk 2. When the operating station corresponds to the outside of the first sidewall, the outlet of the feeding mechanism 3 is aligned with the can at the feeding station. The body placement slots are coaxially spaced and opposite each other; the sealing mechanism 4 includes a second rotating disk 41 and a cover assembly 42. The second rotating disk 41 is rotatably mounted below the top plate of the box 1. A second clearance hole is provided above the first clearance hole on the first side wall, allowing the edge of the peripheral end of the second rotating disk 41 to rotate out of the first side wall of the box 1, and its axis is offset from the axis of the first rotating disk 2. Multiple cover assemblies 42 are installed at intervals on the lower plate edge of the second rotating disk 41. The component 42 has a placement cavity for accommodating a can lid with a diaphragm. The lower end of the lid-fastening assembly 42 is coaxially spaced relative to the can placement slot of the sealing station, so that the top wall of the placement cavity presses the can lid to fasten onto the top of the can. A heat-sealing part is embedded in the top of the placement cavity to heat-seal the diaphragm inside the can lid at the can opening. The capping mechanism 5 can be lifted and installed in the housing 1, and its capping output port can be coaxially aligned with the can placement slot of the capping station to clamp the can lid and rotate it to tighten it.

[0043] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 22 includes multiple sets of clamping arc plates 221 and first springs 222. Multiple first assembly slots 211 are spaced apart on the wall of the can placement slot 21. Multiple clamping arc plates 221 are correspondingly installed on the outer side of the slot openings of the first assembly slots 211. Multiple first springs 222 are installed radially within the first assembly slots 211 to elastically support the clamping arc plates 221. During the intermittent rotation of the first rotating disk 2, the can may sway due to inertial forces. Under the elastic force of the first springs 222, the clamping arc plates 221 continuously apply clamping force to the can, effectively preventing swaying and displacement, ensuring accurate completion of the can operation at each station; simultaneously, it also prevents the can from rotating during the capping process, ensuring smooth capping.

[0044] Specifically, the clamping arc plate 221 consists of two integrally formed plates with an included angle between them. When the can is not placed in the can placement slot 21, the clamping arc plate 221 is not compressed, so the lower plate is parallel to the axis of the can placement slot 21, while the upper plate is inclined toward the direction of the first spring 222. When the can is placed, the can wall compresses the clamping arc plate 221 radially, causing the lower plate to be inclined toward the first spring 222, and the upper plate to change from an inclined state to an axial arrangement, so that it clamps and fixes the side wall of the can, increasing its clamping force on the can. When the can is removed, the clamping arc plate 221 returns to its initial state.

[0045] This utility model relates to a specific embodiment of the feeding mechanism 3, which includes a feeding funnel 31 and a solenoid valve 32. The feeding funnel 31 is installed on the top plate of the housing 1, with its inlet located outside the housing 1. The solenoid valve 32 is installed at the outlet of the feeding funnel 31 to control the discharge amount. The solenoid valve 32 can precisely control the opening and closing degree of the outlet of the feeding funnel 31 and the discharge time, thereby achieving precise control of the discharge amount, ensuring that each can obtain an accurate amount of solid beverage raw materials, avoiding overfilling or underfilling, and ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 further includes a first motor 33, a stirring shaft 34, and a spiral blade 35. The top of the feeding funnel 31 is sealed, and the edge end is connected to the feed hopper 311. The first motor 33 is installed on the top of the feeding funnel 31, and the output end of the first motor 33 is coaxially arranged with the feeding funnel 31. The stirring shaft 34 is located inside the feeding funnel 31 and is drivenly connected to the output end of the first motor 33. The spiral blade 35 is spirally installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 34 corresponding to the discharge port of the feeding funnel 31. The rotation of the spiral blade 35 can push the raw material towards the discharge port and stir the raw material at the same time, so that the raw material forms an orderly flow in the feeding funnel 31, which helps to improve the flowability of the raw material. Especially for some small particles that are easily electrostatically adsorbed or adhered to the funnel wall, it can reduce the residue of the raw material on the funnel wall and improve the conveying efficiency of the raw material.

[0047] In the above embodiment, to prevent blockage during wall feeding, the feeding mechanism 3 also includes stirring blades 36. Multiple stirring blades 36 are circumferentially spaced and installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 34 to stir the material inside the feeding funnel 31. Inside the feeding funnel 31, the stirring blades 36 continuously agitate the raw material, effectively preventing agglomeration and blockage, continuously breaking it up to ensure smooth flow and reduce the risk of feeding interruption. Furthermore, the stirring action of the stirring blades 36 accelerates the flow of raw material within the feeding funnel 31, causing the material to gather more quickly towards the outlet, shortening filling time and improving production efficiency.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly 42 includes a first lifting part, which includes a first electric push rod 421 and a sealing base 422. The first electric push rod 421 is mounted on the edge of the upper plate of the second rotating disk 41, and its output end is arranged downward along the axial direction of the second rotating disk 41. The sealing base 422 is located below the second rotating disk 41 and is installed on the output end of the first electric push rod 421. The heat sealing part includes a heat sealing element 423 and a sealing arm 424. The heat sealing element 423 is installed at the bottom of the sealing base 422. There are multiple sealing arms 424, which are fixed at intervals along the circumference of the heat sealing element 423 on the lower plate of the sealing base 422. Each of the multiple sealing arms 424 has a support member rotatably installed on the side wall corresponding to the axis of the sealing base 422, which can support the can lid. The support member can be rotatably stored in the side wall of the sealing arm 424. The support component provides stable support for the can lid during sealing. During descent, the sealing arm 424 is clamped onto the side wall of the can, and the top of the can abuts against the support component, allowing it to be housed within the side wall of the sealing arm 424, so that the can lid is closed on the top of the can. Then, it continues to descend, allowing the lid to abut against the heat sealing component 423 for heat sealing, completing the sealing process. Afterward, the sealing arm 424 rises, and the sealed can, along with the can lid, is removed from the sealing arm 424 and moved to the next process. This simplifies the operation process. When the sealing component 42 is aligned with the can placement slot, it can automatically adjust to the appropriate position without manual intervention, improving production efficiency.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the support includes a shaft 425, a limiting strip 426, and a second spring 427. Multiple sealing arms 424 are provided with second mounting grooves 4241 on the sidewalls corresponding to the axis of the sealing base 422. The shaft 425 is fixedly installed on a set of opposing groove walls within the second mounting grooves 4241 along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the sealing base 422. The limiting strip 426 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 425. One end of the limiting strip 426 extends out of the second mounting groove 4241 and is inclined downwards along the axial direction of the sealing base 422; the other end is connected to the second spring 427. The other end of the second spring 427 is fixed to the sidewall of the second mounting groove 4241 away from the shaft 425. The protruding end of the limiting strip 426 is located below the heat-sealing component 423 and can be used to support a can lid with a diaphragm. The limiting strip 426, connected to the shaft 425 and the second spring 427, allows for flexible adjustment of its angle and position. When the can lid is placed at the sealing station, the can body pushes the limiting strip 426 to rotate upward and into the second assembly groove 4241, causing the other end of the limiting strip 426 to stretch the second spring 427. The side wall of the can body can abut against the limiting strip 426 to limit it, allowing the can body to move axially within the sealing arm 424 to perform the sealing process. After the sealing process is completed, the can body moves out of the sealing arm 424. At this time, the can body no longer has a stopping effect on the limiting strip 426. The limiting strip 426, relying on the contraction force of the spring, rotates again and extends out of the second assembly groove 4241 to repeat the next sealing process.

[0050] In the above embodiment, to improve heating efficiency, the upper end face of the heat sealant 423 is elastically mounted on the lower end face of the sealing base 422 by a third spring 428. Heating blocks 429 are embedded in the side walls of multiple sealing arms 424 near the heat sealant 423. The heating blocks 429, mounted on the side walls of the sealing arms 424, can uniformly heat the heat sealant from the side, making its temperature distribution more uniform, avoiding localized overheating or underheating, improving sealing quality, and extending the lifespan of the heat sealant 423. The third spring 428 buffers the impact force during sealing, reducing wear between the heat sealant 423 and the can lid, increasing the lifespan of the heat sealant 423, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment. Simultaneously, it can also assist in pushing the can body out when it is removed from the sealing arm, facilitating the removal of the can body along with the can lid.

[0051] Specifically, the heat sealer 423 is an electromagnetic heater. For cans that need to be sealed with aluminum foil, aluminum foil can be placed inside the can lid. During the process of the sealing arm 424 pressing down and fastening the can lid, the electromagnetic heater works to heat the aluminum foil, causing it to stick to the can mouth to achieve the purpose of sealing.

[0052] This utility model relates to a specific embodiment of a capping mechanism 5. The capping mechanism 5 includes a second lifting part and a capping part. The second lifting part includes a lifting leg 51 and an extension arm 52. The lifting leg 51 is arranged inside the housing 1 and close to the first rotating disk 2. One end of the extension arm 52 is fixed to the lifting end of the lifting leg 51 and is arranged radially along the first rotating disk 2. The capping part includes a second motor 53 and a capping base 54. The second motor 53 is mounted on the upper plate of the extension arm 52, and its output end is coaxially arranged with the can placement slot 21. The top end of the capping base 54 is connected to the output end of the second motor 53. The bottom of the capping base 54 is provided with a clamping opening. A third assembly slot 541 is provided at intervals on the inner side wall of the clamping opening. A clamping column 542 is elastically installed in the third assembly slot 541 along the radial direction of the clamping opening to clamp and fix the can lid. By combining the work of the second lifting section and the capping section, the equipment can accurately grasp, stably hold, and reliably cap bottle caps. The reasonable design of each component ensures long-term stable operation and improves production efficiency and quality.

[0053] In the above embodiment, a limiting block 543 is also provided inside the capping base 54. The upper wall of the limiting block 543 is connected to the inner top wall of the capping base 54 through a fourth spring 544. The lower wall of the limiting block 543 can abut against the upper end face of the can lid. The side wall of the limiting block 543 abuts against the end of the clamping column 542 for limitation. The elastic support of the fourth spring 544 allows the limiting block 543 to float up and down within a certain range. When the lower end face of the limiting block 543 abuts against the can lid, the capping base 54 continues to descend, causing the can lid to push the limiting block 543 upward. The limiting block 543 releases the abutment limitation on the clamping column 542, causing the end of the clamping column 542 to abut against the side wall of the lid, clamping the lid to complete the capping and tightening process.

[0054] The working principle of this utility model's solid beverage filling and sealing equipment is as follows:

[0055] The can is placed in the can placement slot of the operating station of the first rotating disc and fixed by the clamping assembly. The first rotating disc rotates clockwise intermittently at 90° intervals. After rotating 90°, the can, originally in the operating station, is brought into the feeding station. The discharge port of the feeding mechanism is coaxially aligned with the can placement slot of the feeding station, and the solid beverage raw materials fall accurately into the can through the feeding mechanism, completing the filling operation. The first rotating disc rotates another 90°, and the can is brought into the sealing station. The operator has already prepared the sealing process. The sealing assembly on the second rotating disk places the can lid containing the film inside its placement cavity. The second rotating disk moves the sealing assembly above the sealing station. Under the action of the lifting mechanism, the sealing assembly moves down to the can body, closes the can lid with the lid body, and performs the sealing process. The first rotating disk continues to rotate 90°, and the can body enters the capping station. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the capping mechanism's capping output port is coaxially aligned with the can body placement slot of the capping station, tightening the can lid on the already sealed can body, completing the entire filling and sealing process.

[0056] Therefore, by setting up a circular processing line, this filling and sealing equipment only requires a single operator to place and remove the cans and put in the can caps containing the film in front of the container, while simultaneously observing the operation of each processing device. This allows the filling and sealing process to be completed independently. The circular processing line not only reduces the floor space occupied by the equipment but also reduces reliance on manual labor, lowering the company's labor costs. It also reduces losses caused by human error, making the production process more stable and reliable.
