[0047] The sterilization chamber 22 has an inlet and an outlet that is connected to the conveying port of the sterilization chamber 21. The ultraviolet lamps 23 are horizontally positioned on both sides of the sauce barrel 4. The ultraviolet light evenly covers the sauce barrel 4 and the surrounding filling area. Ultraviolet light is continuously released for sterilization during the sauce conveying and filling process.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the controller, motor 1 (9), motor 2 (16), telescopic rod (19), sterilization chamber (21), sterilization chamber (22), and ultraviolet lamp tube need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation methods adopt existing technology in this field, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0050] When aseptic filling of sauces is required;

[0051] Pour the sauce to be filled into the sauce barrel 4. The sauce enters the conveying pipe 5 through the conveying hole. Place the empty sauce container 18 into the limiting groove of the limiting seat 17, ready for filling operation.

[0052] When pre-sterilization treatment is required for sauce container 18;

[0053] The controller sends a start command to motor 16, which drives the conveyor belt 15 to operate. The conveyor belt 15 drives the limit seat 17 and the sauce can 18 to enter the sterilization chamber 22 through the feed inlet. The sterilization chamber 22 performs comprehensive sterilization on the sauce can 18. After sterilization, the sauce can 18 enters the sterilization chamber 21 through the discharge port and the feed port, ready for filling operation.

[0054] When it is necessary to accurately align the sauce container 18 with the feed pipe 5;

[0055] When the sauce container 18 moves with the conveyor belt 15 to the bottom of the feed pipe 5, the controller sends an extension command to the telescopic rod 19. The telescopic rod 19 drives the limiting frame 20 to move toward the limiting seat 17. The limiting frame 20 contacts the limiting seat 17 and positions it.

[0056] When sauces need to be bottled;

[0057] The controller sends a start command to motor 9 and ultraviolet lamp 23. Motor 9 drives bidirectional lead screw 8 to rotate, and bidirectional lead screw 8 drives bidirectional lead screw 10 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt.

[0058] The two-way lead screw 8 and the two-way lead screw 10 cause the nut 11 to move in opposite directions. The nut 11 drives the connecting rod 13 to deflect around the pin shaft through the connecting block 12. The deflection of the connecting rod 13 generates a position difference, which drives the control plate 14 to be pulled out from the limiting hole of the feed pipe 5, and the feed pipe 5 is opened.

[0059] The sauce in the sauce barrel 4 flows into the sauce tank 18 through the conveying pipe 5 for filling. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamp 23 in the sterilization box 21 sterilizes the entire filling process.

[0060] When it is necessary to stop sauce filling;

[0061] The controller sends a reverse command to motor 9, which drives the bidirectional lead screw 8 and bidirectional lead screw 10 to rotate in opposite directions. The bidirectional lead screw 8 and bidirectional lead screw 10 drive the nut 11 to move towards each other. The nut 11 drives the connecting rod 13 to deflect in the opposite direction through the connecting block 12. The connecting rod 13 drives the control plate 14 to be inserted into the limiting hole of the conveying pipe 5, and the conveying pipe 5 is closed, stopping the filling.

[0062] The controller issues a retraction command to the telescopic rod 19, and the restraint frame 20 resets;

[0063] After filling is complete;

[0064] The controller sends a continuous operation command to motor 16, and the conveyor belt 15 drives the sauce can 18 containing sauce to be moved out of the sterilization chamber 21 through the discharge port. At the same time, a new empty sauce can 18 is transported to the bottom of the conveying pipe 5. The above filling process is repeated to realize continuous filling operation.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
