Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of NFC juice production technology, and in particular to an NFC juice cold filling device. Background Technology
[0002] NFC juice, as a new type of healthy beverage, is made by washing fresh fruit, pressing out the juice, and then directly bottling it (cold or hot filling) after instant sterilization. It does not undergo any concentration or reconstitution process, thus preserving the original flavor and nutrients of the fruit.
[0003] During the filling process, in order to facilitate the filling head to enter the container, a set of limiting clamps needs to be set on the side of the container. Before the filling head is pressed down, the limiting clamps extend laterally to press the container tightly and limit its position. After filling is completed, the limiting clamps are retracted, and the fully loaded container continues to be conveyed forward.
[0004] Currently, most limit clamps on the market are rigid and fixed in size. If different sizes of containers are used on the same production line, the limit clamps of the same specification will have different limiting effects on different containers, which may result in incomplete limiting. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides an NFC juice cold filling device with a limiting clamp suitable for limiting containers of various sizes, and has an arc-shaped structure that can fit bottles of various sizes.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An NFC juice cold filling device includes a conveyor line, a filling head located above the conveyor line, and a limiting clamp group located on the side of the conveyor line. The limiting clamp group includes a plurality of clamp bodies, each clamp body including a plurality of elastically connected clamping blocks. When the clamping blocks abut against the container to be limited, the clamp body elastically deforms.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0009] The specific structure of the clamp includes:
[0010] The connecting block serves as the mounting and deformation reference for the clamp.
[0011] The clamping block is located in the same horizontal plane.
[0012] Flexible connecting cables connect all clamping blocks.
[0013] When the clamping block comes into contact with the container to be limited, it pulls the elastic connecting line to deform.
[0014] The side of the clamping block facing the container to be limited is curved.
[0015] The connecting block serves as a symmetrical reference, and the clamping blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting block.
[0016] The elastic connecting line runs through all the clamping blocks.
[0017] The elastic connecting line connects two adjacent clamping blocks and between the clamping block and the connecting block.
[0018] The clamping block has a drag-reducing surface on the side facing the container to be limited, and the connecting block has a damping surface on the side facing the container to be limited.
[0019] The clamp is detachably mounted on the push rod, and relative sliding occurs between the push rod and the conveyor line; the push rod and the conveyor line are set independently of each other.
[0020] The relative height between the clamp and the push rod is fixed.
[0021] The limit clamps are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor line.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0023] Compared to conventional positioning clips, conventional positioning clips have a simple shape, often consisting of a notch in a plastic part that extends from one side, with the notch abutting against the container to be positioned. The drawback of this type of positioning clip is its poor fit against the curved outer wall of the container. If there are containers of different thicknesses, the contact area between the positioning clip and containers of different sizes will be inconsistent, and unilateral positioning can easily cause the container to tilt instantly when subjected to the positioning force.
[0024] This application changes the single-sided limiting to a double-sided limiting and sets the clamp to an elastically deformable structure, applying limiting force with a large contact area from both sides of the container, reducing the probability of the container moving around at the moment of force application, thereby achieving effective limiting.

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the NFC juice cold filling equipment of this embodiment includes a conveyor line 1, a filling head 2 located above the conveyor line 1, and a limiting clamp group located on the side of the conveyor line 1. The limiting clamp group includes a plurality of clamp bodies 3, and each clamp body 3 includes a plurality of elastically connected clamping blocks 301. When the clamping blocks 301 abut against the container to be limited, the clamp body 3 elastically deforms.
[0032] The specific structure of clamp 3 includes:
[0033] Connecting block 302 serves as the mounting and deformation reference for clamp 3.
[0034] Clamping block 301 is located in the same horizontal plane.
[0035] The flexible connecting cable 303 connects all the clamping blocks 301.
[0036] When the clamping block 301 comes into contact with the container to be limited, it pulls the elastic connecting line 303 to deform.
[0037] The clamping block 301 has an arc surface on the side facing the container to be limited.
[0038] The connecting block 302 serves as a symmetrical reference, and the clamping blocks 301 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting block 302.
[0039] The flexible connecting line 303 runs through all the clamping blocks 301.
[0040] The elastic connecting line 303 connects between two adjacent clamping blocks 301 and between clamping block 301 and connecting block 302.
[0041] The clamping block 301 has a drag-reducing surface 304 on the side facing the container to be limited, and the connecting block 302 has a damping surface 305 on the side facing the container to be limited.
[0042] The clamp 3 is detachably mounted on the push rod 4, and the push rod 4 and the conveyor line 1 slide relative to each other; the push rod 4 and the conveyor line 1 are set independently of each other.
[0043] The relative height between clamp 3 and push rod 4 is fixed.
[0044] Limit clamps are symmetrically arranged on both sides of conveyor line 1.
[0045] The specific structure and working principle of this application are as follows:
[0046] This application addresses the shortcomings of commonly used single-sided extending limiting clamps in the industry by proposing a double-sided limiting clamp structure suitable for containers of various sizes.
[0047] Conventional positioning clips have a fixed shape and uniform size. When they extend from one side and press against the container, they easily generate a unilateral pushing force, causing the container to tilt slightly at the moment of force application. For some containers with very small openings, this shaking can easily affect the alignment of the subsequent filling head 2. Furthermore, conventional V-shaped fork-shaped positioning clips mostly have line contact with the curved outer surface of the container, resulting in poor stability and poor compatibility with different container sizes.
[0048] This application sets the limiting clamp as a segmented structure mounted on the push rod 4. When the segmented structure contacts the container to be limited, the segments separate, with the connecting block 302 acting as a reference point contacting the container. The clamping blocks 301 increase the contact area with the container and are pressed tightly against the container by the tension force of the elastic connecting line 303. Although this application changes the integral limiting clamp to a segmented design, the increase in production cost is limited. Compared to the existing technology problems that easily lead to filling defects, these cost details are acceptable.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting clamp includes a connecting block 302 that is screwed to the push rod 4 on the side. The connecting block 302 is made of plastic, such as nylon, and is attached to the push rod 4 by rivets or screws. The structure of the push rod 4 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0050] Each connecting block 302 has clamping blocks 301 connected to both sides by elastic wires or springs. In this embodiment, two clamping blocks 301 are set on each side, and the overall limiting clamp is an open ring. When the container bottle moves to the corresponding limiting clamp, the push rod 4 pushes forward, and the clamping block 301 abuts against the outer wall of the bottle. As the push rod 4 continues to push forward, the elastic wire or spring gradually stretches, and the clamping block 301 is pushed open and pressed against the bottle under the action of the elastic wire, thus clamping and limiting the bottle.
[0051] To facilitate advancement, a Teflon coating is applied to the inner wall of the clamping block 301 to reduce frictional resistance. A damping structure, such as a velvet layer, is provided on the side of the connecting block 302 facing the bottle to provide damping and positioning for the bottle.
[0052] After filling is complete, push rod 4 retracts, and clamping block 301 detaches from the bottle. Clamping block 301 can adapt to different bottle sizes via elastic lines.
[0053] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
