Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream processing technology, specifically to a filling and sealing device for ice cream production. Background Technology

[0002] The filling and sealing device for ice cream production is the core equipment in the automated production line. Its turntable structure enables multi-station synchronous operation through a rotating worktable. The mold groove moves with the turntable to different stations to complete the processes of cup filling, filling, sealing, and unloading in sequence.

[0003] To facilitate filling and prevent damage to the ice cream cups, the ice cream cups are usually placed inside the mold groove with a certain gap between them and the inner wall of the mold groove. After the empty cups are filled, they move with the turntable and enter the filling process. However, the impact force generated by the ice cream falling down can cause some empty ice cream cups to shake or even fall out of the groove. At the same time, before the ice cream cups are rotated to the capping device after filling, they are prone to shaking under the centrifugal force of rotation, resulting in some ice cream overflowing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a filling and sealing device for ice cream production, 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: a filling and sealing device for ice cream production, comprising a base, a shell, a turntable body, and a groove body, and further comprising:

[0006] A ring plate is bolted inside the groove body. Vertical cylinders are provided through both sides of the surface of the ring plate. A cylinder is also bolted to the bottom of the turntable body. A connecting pipe is provided on one side of the top of the cylinder. The other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the vertical cylinder.

[0007] A support column is bolted to the bottom of the housing, and a ring is bolted to the upper surface of the support column. An annular groove is formed on the surface of the ring, and a piston is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0008] A movable column is bolted to the piston. The bottom end of the movable column extends to the bottom of the cylinder and is bolted to a connecting column. The bottom end of the connecting column is bolted to a connecting plate. A transverse column is fixed through the surface of the connecting plate and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. An ejection mechanism is also provided inside the housing.

[0009] Preferably, the ejection mechanism includes a support plate, a hydraulic rod, and a top plate, wherein the support plate is bolted to the inside of the housing, and the hydraulic rod is bolted to the top of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the top plate is circular in shape, and the outer diameter of the top plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the ring plate.

[0011] Preferably, the device is further provided with an empty cup filling mechanism, a filling mechanism, a capping and sealing mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The inner wall of the housing is also rotatably connected to a rotating column, and the rotating column is bolted to the bottom of the turntable body.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the annular groove is undulating, with the inner wall of the annular groove near the feeding mechanism and the empty cup filling mechanism being at a slightly higher position, and the inner wall of the annular groove near the filling mechanism and the capping mechanism being at a slightly lower position.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the vertical cylinder is flush with the top of the ring plate, and the connecting pipe is composed of multiple sections of thin pipe and a three-way interface.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention uses the rotation of the turntable itself to change the position of the horizontal column inside the annular groove. After the cup is filled and the lid is attached, the horizontal column is in a slightly lower position, and the movable column, connecting column, and piston descend, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. This creates suction inside the vertical cylinder, which adheres to and fixes the ice cream cup, preventing the ice cream from falling out of the groove or shaking. At the same time, during the dispensing process, the horizontal column is in a slightly higher position, and the pressure inside the cylinder returns to normal, allowing the vertical cylinder to release the suction and dispensing.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, an ice cream filling and sealing device includes a base 1, a housing 2, a turntable body 3, and a groove body 4. The device also includes an empty cup filling mechanism 7, a filling mechanism 8, a capping and sealing mechanism 9, and a feeding mechanism 10. The empty cup filling mechanism 7 is used to fill empty ice cream cups into the groove body 4. A rotating column 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 2, and the rotating column 5 is bolted to the bottom of the turntable body 3. The rotating column 5 is driven to rotate by a stepper motor. After the empty cups are filled, the stepper motor is activated to drive the rotating column 4. The plate body 3 rotates, allowing the empty cup to enter below the filling nozzle of the filling mechanism 8. The stepper motor stops, and the start and stop here are achieved by the device's built-in sensing device. The filling mechanism 8 fills the empty cup. After filling, the cup moves to the bottom of the capping mechanism 9 for capping and sealing. Then, it moves to the vicinity of the feeding mechanism 10. The cylinder drives the push plate to move, allowing the filled and sealed ice cream cup to enter the ramp for feeding. The above is a brief description of the existing technology. Its specific working method and the structure used will not be described in detail.

[0027] An annular plate 6 is bolted inside the groove body 4. Vertical cylinders 24 are installed through both sides of the surface of the annular plate 6. The top of the vertical cylinders 24 is flush with the top of the annular plate 6. A cylinder 17 is also bolted to the bottom of the turntable body 3. A connecting pipe 23 is connected to one side of the top of the cylinder 17. The connecting pipe 23 is composed of multiple thin pipes and a three-way interface. The other end of the connecting pipe 23 is connected to the vertical cylinders 24. The other end of the connecting pipe 23 is connected to four vertical cylinders 24. The vertical cylinders 24 are in pairs, that is, one cylinder 17 corresponds to two vertical cylinders 24 inside the groove body 4.

[0028] A support column 14 is bolted to the bottom of the shell 2. A ring 15 is bolted to the upper surface of the support column 14. An annular groove 16 is formed on the surface of the ring 15. The inner wall of the annular groove 16 is undulating. The inner wall of the annular groove 16 is slightly higher near the feeding mechanism 10 and the empty cup filling mechanism 7. The inner wall of the annular groove 16 is slightly lower near the filling mechanism 8 and the capping mechanism 9. A piston 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 17.

[0029] A movable column 19 is bolted to the surface of the piston 18. The bottom end of the movable column 19 extends to the bottom of the cylinder 17 and is bolted to a connecting column 20. A connecting plate 21 is bolted to the bottom end of the connecting column 20. A transverse column 22 is fixed through the surface of the connecting plate 21 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 16. An ejection mechanism is also provided inside the housing 2.

[0030] During the filling process of the empty cup by the empty cup filling mechanism 7, the horizontal column 22 corresponding to the lower groove body 4 is positioned slightly higher than the inner wall of the annular groove 16, and the piston 18 is located above the inside of the cylinder 17. After the empty cup is filled, the turntable body 3 rotates, causing the empty cup to move to the lower part of the filling mechanism 8. At this time, the turntable body 3 can drive the cylinder 17, the movable column 19, the connecting column 20, and the horizontal column 22 to rotate and move together, allowing the horizontal column 22 to move to a slightly lower position inside the annular groove 16. During the transfer process, the horizontal column 22 descends, causing the connecting plate 21, the movable column 19, and the piston 18 to descend, increasing the space above the inside of the cylinder 17 and decreasing the pressure. The ice cream cup is in contact with the top of the vertical cylinder 24. Some air inside the vertical cylinder 24 and the connecting pipe 23 enters the upper part of the vertical cylinder 24 to help fix the ice cream cup and prevent the impact of filling the ice cream from causing the empty cup to fall out of the groove. At the same time, when it is transferred to the bottom of the capping mechanism 9, the horizontal column 22 is still at the lower part of the inner wall of the annular groove 16 and is still in a state of adsorption and fixation during the transfer process. In this way, the ice cream will not overflow due to the shaking of the cup before the cap is put on. After the cap is put on, when it is transferred to the feeding mechanism 10, the movable column 19 rises on the inner wall of the annular groove 16, thereby causing the piston 18 to rise, so that the pressure inside the vertical cylinder 24 returns to normal and releases the adsorption on the ice cream cup.

[0031] The ejection mechanism includes a support plate 11, a hydraulic rod 12, and a top plate 13. The support plate 11 is bolted to the inside of the housing 2, and the hydraulic rod 12 is bolted to the top of the support plate 11. The top plate 13 has a circular design, and the outer diameter of the top plate 13 is smaller than the inner diameter of the ring plate 6 so that the top plate 13 can pass through. Before feeding, the hydraulic rod 12 is opened to drive the top plate 13 upward. Then the top plate 13 passes through the ring plate 6 to push the filled and sealed ice cream cup out of the interior of the groove body 4 so that the feeding mechanism 10 can carry out the feeding work.
