Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine technology, and in particular to an adaptive centering device for filling machines. Background Technology
[0002] A filling machine is a type of packaging machine that is specifically designed for automatically filling liquid or powdered materials. Through a precise mechanical structure and control system, it achieves efficient and accurate filling of materials. The main components of a filling machine include a material tank, a filling head, a liquid level controller, and a control system. These components work together to ensure the continuity, stability, and accuracy of the filling process.
[0003] Existing filling machines use a conveyor belt system to smoothly and orderly transport various types of packaging bottles to the designated filling port of the filling machine. After reaching the filling port, the quantitative filling component built into the filling machine begins to function, squeezing the material to be filled into the packaging bottle to complete the filling operation.
[0004] However, different sizes of packaging bottles vary in shape, size, and weight. During the conveyor belt transport process, they are easily affected by various factors. Mechanical vibration during the operation of the filling machine is unavoidable. This vibration is transmitted to the packaging bottles, causing them to sway on the conveyor track. This makes it very easy for the bottle neck center to deviate during the transport process. Once the bottle neck center deviates, serious problems will occur in the subsequent filling stage. The material cannot be accurately filled into the bottle, resulting in material overflow and waste. Utility Model Content

[0030] During operation, rotating the knob 405 rotates the threaded rod 404, releasing the contact and fixation of the slide rod 402. Pulling the slide rod 402 moves the limiting plate 403, adjusting the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 403 to accommodate bottles of different diameters. Rotating the knob 405 again rotates the threaded rod 404, causing it to contact and fix the slide rod 402. The packaging bottle is then placed on the conveyor 1 between the two sets of limiting plates 403. 403 guides the movement of the packaging. When the packaging moves to the filling head 607, it stops. The first telescopic cylinder 501 is activated, which moves the guide block 502. The guide block 502 lowers the V-shaped clamp 507 to the bottle neck. The drive motor 503 is then activated, which rotates the gear 504. The gear 504 moves the toothed plate 505, which in turn moves the connecting rod 506.

Then the second telescopic cylinder 603 is activated, and the second telescopic cylinder 603 drives the piston 604 to slide inside the storage cylinder 602, thereby drawing the filling material into the storage cylinder 602. The fourth telescopic cylinder 611 is activated again, and the fourth telescopic cylinder 611 drives... The rotating connecting plate 612 drives the three-way pipe 613 to rotate, so that one end of the three-way pipe 613 is connected to the connecting pipe 605, one end is connected to the storage cylinder 602, and the other end is closed. The third telescopic cylinder 608 is activated, which drives the sealing head 609 to move, thereby releasing the seal on the filling head 607. The second telescopic cylinder 603 is activated, which drives the piston 604 to slide, squeezing the filling material in the storage cylinder 602 into the packaging bottle through the filling head 607, thus completing the filling.
