Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling barrel rotation technology, specifically a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water filling. Background Technology
[0002] Drinking water is filled into filling barrels using bottling equipment. To achieve continuous production, the filling barrels move under the bottling equipment via a conveyor belt. The filled barrels can be sent out from the equipment. However, existing devices have certain drawbacks. For example, CN219839452U describes a continuous filling device for a filling machine, which includes: a base; a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the top of the base, and a circular plate being fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft; the outer surface of the circular plate has several arc-shaped notches for limiting the filling bottles, and elastic limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the several arc-shaped notches.
[0003] Although the above-mentioned device can automatically fix and clamp the filling bottle through two elastic limit blocks, the circular plate, one of the components of the device's indexing mechanism, has a slot for installing the elastic limit blocks. However, the size of the slot cannot be adjusted. When used for drinking water filling, the device cannot be used if the diameter of the water bucket exceeds the diameter of the slot, resulting in reduced adaptability of the device.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water bottling, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A filling barrel rotation device for drinking water bottling includes a base, a limiting rod is movably connected to the upper surface of the base, a lifting seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting rod, a motor seat is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting seat, a stepper motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the motor seat, a bearing plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor seat, a slewing bearing is detachably connected to the upper surface of the lifting seat, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slewing bearing, a connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting plate, a piston is movably connected inside the connecting cylinder, and a bracket is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.
[0007] A toggle module is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting cylinder. The toggle module includes a toggle frame, a connecting frame, a limiting seat, and a threaded cylinder. The toggle frames are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting cylinder, and there are six toggle frames. The connecting frames are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the toggle frames. A first rotating shaft is embedded and rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. A first limiting strip is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is embedded and rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. A second limiting strip is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotating shaft. The limiting seat is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the toggle frame. A rack is nested and slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting seat. A second piston is fixedly connected to the end of the rack. The threaded cylinder is nested and connected to the outer surface of the second piston. The other end of the threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder is embedded in the upper surface of the base, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting seat.
[0009] Furthermore, a first conveyor is placed on one side of the base, and a second conveyor is placed in front of the first conveyor.
[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to a No. 1 gear, the No. 1 gear is meshed with the outer ring of the slewing bearing, the inner ring of the slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the lifting seat, and the connecting disc is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer ring of the slewing bearing.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first piston, a seated bearing is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod, an mounting rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the seated bearing, and the other end of the mounting rod is fixedly connected to the bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower ends of both the first and second rotating shafts are fixedly connected to a second gear, which meshes with the rack.
[0013] Furthermore, the bracket has a support bar fixedly connected to its outer surface, a sliding sleeve is nested and movably connected to the outer surface of the support bar, a first fastening knob is threaded to the upper surface of the sliding sleeve, and a second fastening knob is threaded to the outer surface of the sliding sleeve.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. When the toggle frame makes a circular motion, it pushes the filling barrels on the second conveyor onto the support plate. After the four filling barrels are on the support plate, the second conveyor stops running. After filling is completed, the first conveyor is started. At this time, the toggle frame runs again to push the filling barrels onto the first conveyor, completing the filling and discharging operation of the filling barrels. This further realizes cyclic intermittent filling and improves filling efficiency.
[0016] 2. After the lifting seat rises, the connecting cylinder moves upward synchronously. The connecting rod, in conjunction with the first piston, compresses the air in the connecting cylinder. The compressed air enters the interior of the threaded cylinder and applies an outward force to the second piston, further driving the rack to move. This causes the rack to rotate the second gear, thus flipping the first and second limiting bars. The first limiting bar, in conjunction with the second limiting bar on another connecting frame, presses the filling barrel located on the upper surface of the bearing plate from the outside in, causing the filling barrel to move inward and abut against the outer surface of the two adjacent actuating frames, thereby completing the limiting of the filling barrel. This structure is adjustable and convenient for limiting filling barrels of different sizes, improving the adaptability of the device. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 2-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a filling barrel rotation device for drinking water filling includes a base 1. A limiting rod 103 is movably connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A lifting seat 102 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting rod 103. A motor seat 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting seat 102. A stepper motor 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the motor seat 2. A bearing plate 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor seat 2. A slewing bearing 5 is detachably connected to the upper surface of the lifting seat 102. A connecting plate 501 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slewing bearing 5. A connecting cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting plate 501. A piston 601 is movably connected inside the connecting cylinder 6. A bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1.
[0025] A toggle module 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting cylinder 6. The toggle module 7 includes a toggle frame 701, a connecting frame 702, a limiting seat 708, and a threaded cylinder 711. The toggle frame 701 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting cylinder 6, and there are six toggle frames 701. The connecting frame 702 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the toggle frame 701. A first rotating shaft 703 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 702. A first limiting strip 704 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 703. The upper surface of the connecting frame 702 is embedded with a second rotating shaft 705, the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 705 is fixedly connected with a second limiting strip 706, the limiting seat 708 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the toggle frame 701, the outer surface of the limiting seat 708 is nested with a rack 709, the end of the rack 709 is fixedly connected with a second piston 710, the threaded cylinder 711 is nested and connected to the outer surface of the second piston 710, and the other end of the threaded cylinder 711 is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 6.
[0026] Specifically, the upper surface of the base 1 has a through hole to accommodate an external threaded assembly, allowing it to be mounted on the ground and its position fixed. Then, the lifting seat 102 rises, and the limiting rod 103 slides through the base 1 to limit its ascent. The stepper motor 4 on the lower surface of the motor base 2 is activated. The outer ring of the slewing bearing 5, in conjunction with the connecting disc 501, drives the connecting cylinder 6 to rotate. The connecting cylinder 6 drives the actuating module 7 to rotate, and multiple actuating frames 701 move in a circular motion around the connecting cylinder 6, actuating the drinking water bucket on the upper surface of the bearing disc 201 to complete the rotation of the filling bucket. The second piston 710, extending along the threaded cylinder 711, drives the rack 709 to move. The limiting seat 708 limits the movement of the rack 709, further driving the first rotating shaft 703 and the second rotating shaft 705 to rotate. The rotation directions of the first rotating shaft 703 and the second rotating shaft 705 are mirror images of each other, so that the first limiting strip 704 and the second limiting strip 706 move in opposite directions. The first limiting strip 704, together with the second limiting strip 706 on another connecting frame 702, presses the filling barrel located on the upper surface of the bearing plate 201 from the outside to the inside, causing the filling barrel to move inward and abut against the outer surface of the two adjacent actuating frames 701, thereby completing the limiting of the filling barrel. This structure is adjustable to facilitate the limiting of filling barrels of different sizes. The bracket 8 is used to assist in the installation of the filling head 9.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder 101 is embedded and connected to the upper surface of the base 1, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 101 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 102.
[0029] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 101 is used to drive the lifting seat 102 to rise, so that the filling barrel on the bearing plate 201 and the filling head 9 come into contact, and the drinking water is filled in cooperation with the external filling equipment. This is an application of the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a first conveyor 3 is placed on one side of the base 1, and a second conveyor 301 is placed in front of the first conveyor 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, the second conveyor 301 is used for feeding the filling barrels, and the first conveyor 3 is used for discharging the filling barrels. When the actuating frame 701 makes a circular motion, it pushes the filling barrels on the second conveyor 301 onto the carrier plate 201. After the four filling barrels are located on the carrier plate 201, the second conveyor 301 stops running. After filling is completed, the first conveyor 3 is started. At this time, the actuating frame 701 runs again to push the filling barrels onto the first conveyor 3, completing the filling and discharging operation of the filling barrels, further realizing cyclic intermittent filling and improving filling efficiency.
[0032] like Figure 1-5As shown, the output end of the stepper motor 4 is fixedly connected to a first gear 401, which meshes with the outer ring of the slewing bearing 5. The inner ring of the slewing bearing 5 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 102, and the connecting plate 501 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer ring of the slewing bearing 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, the output end of the stepper motor 4 drives the first gear 401 to rotate, the slewing bearing 5 realizes the relative rotation of the connecting cylinder 6 and the lifting seat 102, and realizes the relative rotation of the bearing plate 201 and the toggle module 7.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to remedy the problem that the toggle frame 701 did not match the filling head 9 on the bracket 8 after moving the filling barrel in Embodiment 1.
[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a connecting rod 602 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of piston 601. A seated bearing 603 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 602. An mounting rod 604 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the seated bearing 603. The other end of the mounting rod 604 is fixedly connected to the bracket 8. A second gear 707 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the first rotating shaft 703 and the second rotating shaft 705. The second gear 707 meshes with the rack 709.
[0037] In this embodiment, based on the upward movement of the connecting cylinder 6, the connecting rod 602, in conjunction with the seated bearing 603, enables the relative rotation of the connecting rod 602 and the mounting rod 604. Therefore, the fixed connection between the mounting rod 604 and the bracket 8 does not affect the rotation of the connecting cylinder 6. After the lifting seat 102 rises, the connecting cylinder 6 moves upward synchronously. The connecting rod 602, in conjunction with the first piston 601, compresses the air in the connecting cylinder 6. The compressed air enters the interior of the threaded cylinder 711, applying an outward force to the second piston 710, further driving the rack 709 to move. This causes the rack 709 to drive the second gear 707 to rotate, realizing the flipping of the first limiting strip 704 and the second limiting strip 706. Furthermore, the height distance between the first limiting strip 704 and the connecting frame 702 is greater than the height distance between the second limiting strip 706 and the connecting frame 702, facilitating the interlacing of the first limiting strip 704 and the second limiting strip 706 to accommodate filling barrels of different diameters.
[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a support bar 801 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 8, and a sliding sleeve 802 is nested and movably connected to the outer surface of the support bar 801. A first fastening knob 803 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding sleeve 802, and a second fastening knob 804 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding sleeve 802.
[0039] In this embodiment, the sliding sleeve 802 can be manually slid along the support bar 801, and then the first fastening knob 803 is rotated to fix the position of the sliding sleeve 802, so that the end of the filling head 9 passes through the sliding sleeve 802. Then the second fastening knob 804 is rotated, and one end of the second fastening knob 804 contacts the filling head 9, further completing the auxiliary limiting and fixing of the filling head 9, so that the filling head 9 can be adapted to filling barrels of different sizes, further improving the adaptability of the device. The number of filling heads 9 and external filling machines that can be connected is several.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
