Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling component technology, specifically to an automated filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Food filling components are used to fill food cans, completing the filling process. In the production process of rotary filling machines, transferring the filled bottles from the filling machine to the conveyor belt is a key step in achieving continuous production. Currently, the industry widely uses transfer methods such as star wheel bottle transfer and wheel-push plate combinations. Taking star wheel bottle transfer as an example, the gap between the star wheel groove and the bottle is difficult to control precisely, which can easily lead to bottle displacement or tipping. When the bottle diameter, bottle height, or bottle shape changes, complex adjustments are required to the star wheel groove size, guide rail spacing, spiral guide groove slope, etc., or even the entire transfer mechanism may need to be replaced, resulting in poor production flexibility.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses an automated filling machine, comprising:

[0022] The feeding conveyor belt 1 is a common type of conveyor belt, which has a conveying surface that can transport food cans from the feeding side to the unloading side, and a limiting structure set on the conveying surface.

[0023] A filling assembly 6 is provided on the unloading side of the feeding conveyor belt 1. The filling assembly 6 is used to fill food into food cans to complete the filling process. The filling assembly 6 includes a bracket 7, which is cylindrical and fixedly installed on one side of the unloading side of the feeding conveyor belt 1. A mounting plate is installed on the top of the bracket 7, and a photoelectric sensor (such as a Z3D-L09N diffuse reflection sensor) is installed on the top of the mounting plate to detect the liquid level in the filling assembly 6, providing a data basis for the automated control of the food filling assembly 6. A circular hole is also provided at the other end of the mounting plate, and a feed pipe 13 is installed in the circular hole. The feed end of the feed pipe 13 is connected to a storage device, and the storage device supplies material to the feed pipe 13. The discharge end of the feed pipe 13 is connected to a discharge port 8. The feed pipe 13 is installed on the top of the mounting plate, and the discharge port 8 is installed on the bottom of the mounting plate. The discharge port 8 is located above the unloading gripper 9, and the unloading gripper 9 is located above the distributing plate 3.

[0024] The material distribution platform 2 is located on the unloading side of the feeding conveyor belt 1. It is used to rotate and transport the food cans conveyed by the feeding conveyor belt 1 to the bottom of the filling component 6 in sequence, so that the filling component 6 can fill the food cans.

[0025] A dispensing plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the top of the dispensing platform 2. The dispensing plate 3 includes an upper limit plate and a lower limit plate. The top view of the upper limit plate is based on a disc with concentric rings and a central through hole. Multiple petal protrusions of the same shape extend evenly from the edge of the disc at equal intervals. The connection between each trumpet-shaped petal and the disc is a concave curve, and the end tapers into a smooth trumpet-shaped groove. A column is connected to the bottom of each trumpet-shaped petal, and the column is connected to the lower limit plate. The lower limit plate is disc-shaped, and several U-shaped grooves are opened on the top of the lower limit plate. The U-shaped grooves match the trumpet-shaped grooves to form a dispensing groove 5 for dispensing food cans. The dispensing grooves 5 are evenly spaced along the circumference on the dispensing plate 3.

[0026] The bottom of the dispensing platform 2 is equipped with a dispensing motor 4, and the output end of the dispensing motor 4 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the dispensing disc 3; the dispensing motor 4 drives the dispensing disc 3 to rotate, thereby intermittently transferring the food can from the feeding conveyor belt 1 to the filling position.

[0027] Preferably, the material dispensing tray 3 is provided with a material dispensing gripper 9 on the material dispensing side. The material picking end of the material dispensing gripper 9 is arc-shaped, which has a high degree of matching with food cans, can grip more firmly, avoid slipping, and can also adapt to food cans with different curvatures. It has good versatility and fit, and reduces damage to food cans. The material dispensing platform 2 is also fixedly connected to a gripper mounting plate 12 on the material dispensing side. The material dispensing gripper 9 is rotatably mounted on the top of the gripper mounting plate 12, so that the gripper can rotate flexibly to adjust the gripping and dispensing angle, adapt to the needs of different work stations, and improve the flexibility and accuracy of material dispensing. The feeding side of the dispensing platform 2 is also connected to a connecting plate 11. A feeding motor 10 is installed on the top of the connecting plate 11. The output end of the feeding motor 10 is connected to the feeding gripper 9. The feeding gripper 9 clamps the filled food cans, and then the feeding motor 10 drives the feeding gripper 9 to rotate to the feeding side for feeding. A conveyor belt can be set on the feeding side to transport the food cans to the next process. The feeding motor 10 drives the gripper to rotate and feed the food cans without manual intervention, realizing the automated flow of food cans from the dispensing plate 3 to the conveyor belt and improving production efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the gripper mounting plate 12, and a bearing is installed in the through hole. The bearing is coaxially connected to the output end of the feeding motor 10. The bearing can greatly reduce friction, making the feeding motor 10 drive the gripper to rotate more smoothly, reducing energy loss, reducing component wear, and extending the service life of the gripper, motor, etc.
