Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling device technology, and in particular to a liquid level synchronization conduit device for filling osmanthus rice wine. Background Technology

[0002] Osmanthus rice wine is a fermented beverage made primarily from glutinous rice and dried osmanthus flowers through traditional processes such as steaming, mixing with yeast, and fermentation. Producers select appropriate raw materials and follow specific formulas and processes for processing, mixing, heating, cooling, and bottling to ultimately produce a beverage product that meets market demand. After the brewing process is completed, bottling equipment is used to fill the product in batches. Existing bottling equipment generally includes a liquid storage system, a distributor, silicone filling nozzles, and a lifting support. After the raw materials enter the distributor through pipes, they continue to be distributed through connecting pipes to various silicone filling nozzles, enabling the filling of multiple bottles.

[0003] However, in existing filling devices, the internal pipes are empty and naturally filled with air during the initial filling. When the filling process is started for the first time, the air is squeezed into the pipes as the liquid flows in, especially at pipe bends, joints, or tops, where air pockets are easily formed. The air inside the pipes occupies the volume space of the liquid, causing the actual filling volume to differ from the preset volume. At the same time, the air enters the bottle with the liquid and forms bubbles that burst when the liquid impacts the bottle mouth, exacerbating the splashing of the wine. To address these issues, a liquid level synchronization conduit device for osmanthus rice wine filling is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a liquid level synchronization conduit device for bottling osmanthus rice wine, which aims to improve the problem that a large amount of air exists inside the device during the initial bottling in the prior art and is discharged along with the raw materials, thus affecting the bottling effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a liquid level synchronization conduit device for bottling osmanthus rice wine, comprising a distributor, an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the upper surface of the distributor, a solenoid valve fixedly connected to the outer side of the inlet pipe, a connecting hose fixedly connected to the upper end of the inlet pipe, several straight pipes fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the distributor, a flow control valve fixedly connected to the bottom end of each of the straight pipes, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the flow control valve, an inverted U-shaped outlet pipe fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting pipe, a splash guard fixedly connected to the outer side of the front end of the inverted U-shaped outlet pipe, and a scale provided at the rear bend of the inverted U-shaped outlet pipe; a liquid level monitoring component is provided on the left side of the distributor.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] Several flow control valves are fixedly connected to each other by a connecting plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The liquid level monitoring component includes an extension plate, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension plate, and an optical sensor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The optical sensor is located on the left side of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The bottom surface of the splash guard is higher than the bottom surface of the front end of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The inverted U-shaped outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the flow control valve via a bracket.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The bottom surface of the splitter is fixedly connected to several splitting plates in a linear array, and the upper surface of the splitting plates is provided with guide grooves.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The number and position of the diverter plates are adapted to the straight pipe, and the diverter plates completely fill the internal bottom space of the diverter.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, by combining the straight pipe, flow control valve, connecting pipe, inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe, splash guard, scale and liquid level monitoring components, the air inside the device can be completely discharged before the device is filled for the first time, so as to avoid the air affecting the filling effect, ensure the filling quality, and use the principle of communicating vessels to force the synchronization of liquid levels in each filling channel to ensure the consistency of filling volume.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the combination of the diversion plate and the guide groove allows the raw material to enter each straight pipe evenly, ensuring that the feeding speed and feeding amount are consistent. This enables multiple bottles to be filled at the same time with uniform filling amount, further ensuring the consistency of filling amount and avoiding uneven diversion, which would cause different feeding speeds at each filling port and affect the filling effect.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a liquid level synchronization conduit device for bottling osmanthus rice wine, comprising a distributor 1, an inlet pipe 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the distributor 1, a solenoid valve 3 fixedly connected to the outer side of the inlet pipe 2, the solenoid valve 3 controlling the opening and closing of the inlet pipe 2, a connecting hose 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the inlet pipe 2, the inlet pipe 2 being connected to a storage container via the connecting hose 4, allowing the osmanthus rice wine raw materials to enter the distributor 1 through the connecting hose 4 and the inlet pipe 2, and several straight pipes 5 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the distributor 1. After the raw material enters the straight pipe 5, it will be diverted into all the straight pipes 5. The bottom ends of several straight pipes 5 are fixedly connected to flow control valves 6. Several flow control valves 6 are fixedly connected to each other by connecting plates. The connecting plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the diversion pipes by support rods, so that the entire liquid level synchronization conduit device forms a whole. It can be connected to the lifting device to realize lifting operation. The bottom output end of the flow control valve 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 7. After the raw material enters the flow control valve 6 through the straight pipe 5, it can continue to flow downward into the connecting pipe 7.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 The front end of the connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to an inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8. The inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 is made of transparent glass, allowing the operator to directly judge the liquid level inside the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8. The inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the front of the flow control valve 6 through the bracket 11, which can further improve the stability of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 during use. A splash guard 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the front end of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8. The bottom surface of the splash guard 9 is higher than the bottom surface of the front end of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8. When the entire device is lowered for filling, the splash guard 9 can move to directly above the bottle mouth, allowing the front liquid outlet end of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 to be shallowly inserted into the bottle body. At this time, the splash guard 9 can shield and protect the bottle mouth, reducing the splashing of wine caused by the filling impact and avoiding contamination of the bottle mouth.

[0032] The inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube 8 has a scale 10 at the rear bend. Before the first filling, the device can be started in advance to fill and discharge the material. As the raw material is discharged, when it reaches the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube 8, the liquid level inside the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube 8 will gradually rise, and the air in the flow channel will also be discharged here. When the liquid level inside the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube 8 tends to stabilize, it can ensure that the air is completely discharged to avoid affecting the filling effect. At the same time, the scale 10 can compare and display the liquid level inside the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet tube 8, which makes it convenient for the staff to accurately judge the liquid level height.

[0033] A liquid level monitoring component 12 is provided on the left side of the distributor 1. The liquid level monitoring component 12 includes an extension plate 121, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate. An electric telescopic rod 122 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension plate 121. An optical sensor 123 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 122. The optical sensor 123 is located on the left side of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8. The optical sensor 123 can detect the liquid level inside the bottle placed below the device. When the electric telescopic rod 122 is started, it can drive the optical sensor 123 to dynamically adjust its height to adapt to different bottle heights. At the same time, the optical sensor 123, which can be adjusted up and down, can also detect liquid levels at different preset heights to adapt to different production needs.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The bottom surface of the distributor 1 is fixedly connected with several distributor plates 13 in a linear array. The number and position of the distributor plates 13 are adapted to the straight pipes 5. The distributor plates 13 completely fill the bottom surface space of the distributor 1. The upper surface of the distributor plates 13 is provided with guide grooves 14. The guide grooves 14 make the upper surface of the distributor plates 13 have sharp structures on all four sides. When the flow control valve 6 is closed, the osmanthus rice wine raw material is introduced into the distributor 1. Then the flow control valve 6 is opened to allow the raw material to be discharged downward for filling. The raw material on the same plane inside the distributor 1 can be evenly introduced into each straight pipe 5 through the guide grooves 14 to ensure that the feeding speed and feeding amount of the raw material in each straight pipe 5 are consistent. At the same time, during filling, the discharge amount of the raw material inside the distributor 1 is the same as the inflow amount, always ensuring that the liquid level inside the distributor plates 13 is higher than the distributor plates 13.

[0035] Working principle: Connect the connecting hose 4 to the storage container to ensure that the osmanthus rice wine raw material can flow into the inlet pipe 2. Then close the flow control valve 6 and open the solenoid valve 3 to allow the osmanthus rice wine raw material to enter the distributor 1 and submerge the distributor plate 13. Then open the flow control valve 6 and reduce the flow rate of the raw material to allow the air in the inverted U-shaped outlet pipe 8 to be discharged with the raw material. When the liquid level is stable at the scale 10, it is confirmed that the air in the flow channel has been discharged. The liquid level inside the inverted U-shaped outlet pipe 8 can be compared and displayed through the scale 10, which makes it convenient for the staff to accurately judge the liquid level height inside the inverted U-shaped outlet pipe 8, assist in the liquid level calibration during the initial debugging, and also help control the filling liquid level.

[0036] Next, the overall height of the device is adjusted by the lifting device so that the front end of the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 is shallowly inserted into the bottle to be filled. At the same time, the anti-splash plate 9 is positioned above the bottle mouth. The electric telescopic rod 122 is activated, and the position of the optical sensor 123 is adjusted according to the height of the bottle. The target filling liquid level is set, and the solenoid valve 3 is opened. The raw material enters the distributor 1 through the connecting hose 4 and the liquid inlet pipe 2. The distributor plate 13 in the distributor 1 evenly distributes the raw material to each straight pipe 5 through the guide groove 14 to ensure that the feeding speed and amount of each straight pipe 5 are consistent. The raw material enters the inverted U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 8 through the flow control valve 6 and the connecting pipe 7 and flows into the bottle from the front outlet. During the filling process, the anti-splash plate 9 blocks the bottle mouth to reduce splashing of the liquid. The optical sensor 123 monitors the liquid level in the bottle in real time. When the liquid level reaches the preset value, it sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the sensor signal, the control system closes the solenoid valve 3 and the flow control valve 6 to stop the flow of raw material. The device moves upward by the lifting device and detaches from the bottle mouth, completing the single batch filling.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
