Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottling equipment technology, specifically to a quantitative bottling equipment for alcoholic beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] In the beverage production industry, quantitative bottling is a core step in ensuring product uniformity and improving production efficiency. With the diversification of the beverage consumption market, companies are placing higher demands on the flexibility, precision, and ease of maintenance of bottling equipment.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. CN202121933975.1 discloses a quantitative filling device for preparing kumquat wine, including a solution tank, a support, a filling tube, and a metering pump. The support and the bottle support plate are fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the solution tank. The filling tube is vertically fixed on the support. The metering pump includes a piston cylinder, a piston head, a piston rod, and a drive motor, with the drive motor fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the solution tank. The end of the piston rod away from the piston head extends upward through the top side wall of the piston cylinder and is connected to the drive motor. The piston cylinder is confined to the inner side wall of the solution tank, and the bottom of the piston cylinder is connected to an inlet pipe with a first one-way valve. The piston cylinder is connected to the inner cavity of the solution tank through the inlet pipe. The bottom of the piston cylinder is connected to a drain pipe, and the end of the drain pipe away from the piston cylinder is connected to the filling tube.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention relates to a quantitative filling equipment for alcoholic beverage production, comprising a storage tank 100, a filling cylinder 200, a limit adjustment cylinder 400, and a drive cylinder 300.

[0032] The storage tank 100 and the filling cylinder 200 are fixedly arranged relative to each other. They can be fixed by a fixing bracket (not shown in the figure). The storage tank 100 and the filling cylinder 200 are connected by a liquid guide pipe 600, and a one-way valve 700 is provided on the liquid guide pipe 600. The storage tank 100 contains the wine to be filled. The bottom of the storage tank 100 is higher than the top of the filling cylinder 200. The liquid guide pipe 600 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 100.

[0033] The filling cylinder 200 has an opening at the top and an injection tube 202 at the bottom. A piston body 500 is slidably disposed inside the filling cylinder 200. In this embodiment, the piston body 500 includes a fixed plate and an elastic sleeve 501, which is fitted onto the fixed plate. The elastic sleeve 501 can be made of rubber, allowing the outer wall of the piston body 500 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the filling cylinder 200. A connecting member is provided at the upper end of the piston body 500. A drive cylinder 300 is fixed directly above the filling cylinder 200. The lower end of the telescopic shaft 301 of the drive cylinder 300 is connected to the connecting member via a first elastic element 504. The drive cylinder 300 is used to drive the piston body 500 to slide up and down inside the filling cylinder 200.

[0034] The limit adjustment cylinder 400 is located inside the filling cylinder 200, and the piston body 500 is located below the filling cylinder 200. The limit adjustment cylinder 400 is used for the stroke positioning of the piston body 500, that is, when the piston body 500 moves to the highest position, the piston body 500 contacts the lower end of the limit adjustment cylinder 400.

[0035] The injection tube 202 is equipped with a filling core, which includes a limiting ring, a sealing element 800, a second elastic element 801, and a support plate 802. The limiting ring is fixed to the inner wall of the injection tube 202, the support plate 802 is located at the bottom of the injection tube 202, and the support plate 802 is also provided with outlet holes 803. The sealing element 800 is slidably disposed between the limiting ring and the support plate 802, and the two ends of the second elastic element 801 abut against the sealing element 800 and the support plate 802 respectively.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the limiting adjustment cylinder 400 is provided with a lifting external thread, and the inner wall of the top of the filling cylinder 200 is provided with a lifting internal thread. The limiting adjustment cylinder 400 is vertically and vertically disposed within the filling cylinder 200 via a threaded connection. A rotating disk 401 is also provided above the limiting adjustment cylinder 400, and the rotating disk 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting adjustment cylinder 400 via a connecting rod 402. The rotating disk 401 can drive the limiting adjustment cylinder 400 to rotate, thereby causing the limiting adjustment cylinder 400 to rise and fall within the filling cylinder 200.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, both the first elastic element 504 and the second elastic element 801 are helical springs. A conical sleeve 201 is provided at the bottom of the filling cylinder 200. The conical sleeve 201 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, connecting the filling cylinder 200 and the injection pipe 202. The liquid guide pipe 600 is connected to the conical sleeve 201. The elastic sleeve 501 is a conical block adapted to the conical sleeve 201. When the elastic sleeve 501 moves to its lowest point, the lower outer wall of the elastic sleeve 501 can completely fit against the inner wall of the conical sleeve 201. The conical sleeve 201 at the bottom of the filling cylinder 200 adopts a tapered design, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with its inner wall smoothly transitioning to the upper end of the injection pipe 202. When the piston body 500 squeezes the liquid, the liquid flows smoothly into the injection pipe 202 along the conical surface of the conical sleeve 201, reducing flow resistance and turbulence, avoiding liquid splashing or bubble generation, and improving filling accuracy.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting member on the piston body 500 is a limiting sleeve 502. The lower end of the telescopic shaft 301 of the drive cylinder 300 is located inside the limiting sleeve 502, and the first elastic member 504 is located inside the limiting sleeve 502. A limiting post 503 is provided at the bottom of the limiting sleeve 502, and the limiting post 503 is coaxially arranged with the telescopic shaft 301. The lower end of the first elastic member 504 is fixedly sleeved on the limiting post 503, and the upper end of the first elastic member 504 is sleeved on the lower end of the telescopic shaft 301. The upper and lower ends of the first elastic member 504 can be welded to the lower end of the telescopic shaft 301 and the upper end of the limiting post 503, respectively.

[0039] The working process of the quantitative filling equipment for liquor production of this utility model is as follows: During filling, the bottle is placed directly below the injection pipe 202, and the drive cylinder 300 is started. The drive cylinder 300 drives the piston body 500 to rise until the upper surface of the piston body 500 abuts against the lower end of the limit adjustment cylinder 400. At this time, the liquor in the storage tank 100 is sucked into the filling cylinder 200 and fills the cavity of the filling cylinder 200 located below the piston body 500. Then, the drive cylinder 300 drives the piston body 500 to fall. At this time, the pressure of the liquor in the filling cylinder 200 increases, and the liquor pushes the sealing part 800 of the filling core to move downward against the elastic force of the second elastic part 801, so that the filling core opens and the liquor is injected into the bottle. After the injection is completed, the sealing part 800 returns to its original position due to the elastic force. The above process can be repeated to continuously complete the quantitative filling of liquor into different bottles.

[0040] When the filling volume needs to be adjusted, simply rotate the limit adjustment cylinder 400 to adjust the height of the lower end of the limit adjustment cylinder 400 within the filling cylinder 200. This will adjust the volume of liquid drawn into the storage tank 100 by the filling equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the filling volume. Furthermore, the structure of the first elastic element 504 can adaptively adjust the distance between the lower end of the telescopic shaft 301 and the piston body 500 after the telescopic shaft 301 retracts, thereby achieving the effect of adjustable filling volume of the filling equipment while ensuring that the extension and retraction stroke of the telescopic shaft 301 of the drive cylinder 300 remains unchanged.

[0041] The liquid storage tank 100, filling cylinder 200, piston body 500, and limit adjustment cylinder 400 of this quantitative filling equipment all adopt conventional mechanical structures, eliminating the need for complex electronic control systems or high-precision sensors, thus significantly reducing equipment manufacturing costs. Furthermore, all components employ a modular design, facilitating disassembly and replacement. Routine maintenance only requires periodic checks on the elasticity of the elastic components, resulting in low maintenance costs and simple operation.

[0042] In this document, the directional terms such as front, back, top, and bottom are defined based on the location of the components in the accompanying drawings and their relative positions to each other, solely for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of these directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0043] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
