Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beverage filling equipment, specifically to an isobaric filling head for carbonated beverages. Background Technology

[0002] During the filling process of carbonated beverages (such as carbonated drinks and sparkling water), because they contain carbon dioxide gas, improper filling pressure control can easily lead to gas overflow, resulting in insufficient carbonization of the beverage, poor taste, or even splashing, affecting filling efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Currently, existing carbonated beverage filling heads struggle to accurately maintain pressure balance within the bottle and filling system during the filling process. Pressure fluctuations can easily lead to carbon dioxide escape, affecting beverage quality. Furthermore, the sealing performance between the filling head and the bottle neck is poor, making leakage common during filling. This not only wastes raw materials but also pollutes the production environment and increases cleaning costs. In addition, most filling heads have fixed structures, making it difficult to adapt to different bottle neck sizes, resulting in poor versatility and limitations in their use. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a carbonated beverage isobaric filling head, including a main body 1, a sealing mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the main body 1, an isobaric control mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the middle of one side surface of the main body 1, a feeding mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body 1, and an adaptation adjustment mechanism 5 movably connected to the inner surface of the sealing mechanism 2.

[0027] The main body 1 includes a filling head body 11 and a connecting flange 12, with the connecting flange 12 fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the filling head body 11. The filling head body 11 has a liquid storage chamber 13 inside, and a first interface 14 is provided in the middle of one side surface of the liquid storage chamber 13. A filling channel 15 is provided at the lower end of the liquid storage chamber 13. A one-way valve 151 is provided inside the filling channel 15, and the one-way valve 151 is made of food-grade silicone. The filling head body 11 is made of 304 stainless steel, and its outer surface is provided with an anti-corrosion coating 16. Specifically, carbonated beverages enter the liquid storage chamber 13 for temporary storage through the feeding mechanism 4, and then are injected into the bottle through the filling channel 15. The one-way valve 151 can prevent beverage backflow. The 304 stainless steel material and the anti-corrosion coating 16 ensure that the filling head body 11 meets food hygiene standards and is durable.

[0028] The sealing mechanism 2 includes a sealing cover 21 and an elastic sealing ring 22. The elastic sealing ring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the sealing cover 21. The sealing cover 21 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the filling head body 11. A reinforcing ring 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer surface of the sealing cover 21. The adapter adjustment mechanism 5 includes an adjustment ring 51 and an adjustment bolt 52. The adjustment ring 51 is movably connected to the inner surface of the sealing cover 21. A flexible pad 53 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the adjustment ring 51. The adjustment bolt 52 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the sealing cover 21, and one end of the adjustment bolt 52 abuts against the outer surface of the adjustment ring 51. Specifically, according to the bottle mouth specification, rotating the adjustment bolt 52 pushes the adjustment ring 51 to move, so that the flexible pad 53 fits against the outer wall of the bottle mouth, while the elastic sealing ring 22 contacts the upper surface of the bottle mouth, achieving a double seal to prevent leakage.

[0029] The isobaric control mechanism 3 includes a pressure sensor 31, a control valve 32, and a second interface 33. The pressure sensor 31 is fixedly connected to the upper part of one side surface of the filling head body 11, the control valve 32 is fixedly connected to the middle part of one side surface of the filling head body 11, and the second interface 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the control valve 32 away from the filling head body 11. The pressure sensor 31 and the control valve 32 are electrically connected. Specifically, the second interface 33 is connected to an external air pressure source. The pressure sensor 31 monitors the pressure in the liquid storage chamber 13 and the bottle in real time. When the pressure is unbalanced, the control valve 32 automatically adjusts the air intake to maintain pressure balance and prevent carbon dioxide from escaping.

[0030] The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding pipe 41 and a flow regulating valve 42. The feeding pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the connecting flange 12, and the flow regulating valve 42 is fixedly connected to the middle of the feeding pipe 41. The feeding pipe 41 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 13. Specifically, carbonated beverages enter the liquid storage chamber 13 through the feeding pipe 41. The feeding speed can be controlled by adjusting the flow regulating valve 42 to adapt to different filling requirements.

[0031] Working Principle: When the isobaric filling head for carbonated beverages is in use, the filling head body 11 is first installed on the filling equipment via the connecting flange 12. According to the bottle neck specifications, the adjusting bolt 52 is rotated to move the adjusting ring 51, ensuring the flexible pad 53 fits tightly against the outer wall of the bottle neck. During filling, the carbonated beverage enters the storage chamber 13 through the feed pipe 41, and the feed rate is adjusted by the flow regulating valve 42. Simultaneously, an external air pressure source introduces gas into the bottle through the second interface 33. The pressure sensor 31 monitors pressure changes in real time. If the pressure is unbalanced, the control valve 32 automatically adjusts the air intake to maintain an isobaric state. The elastic sealing ring 22 of the sealing mechanism 2 contacts the upper surface of the bottle neck, working in conjunction with the sealing effect of the adjusting ring 51 to prevent leakage. The beverage is injected into the bottle through the filling channel 15, and the one-way valve 151 prevents backflow. After filling is complete, the flow regulating valve 42 is closed to stop feeding and air intake, completing one filling operation.
