[0002] In the food processing industry, filling granular materials (such as seasoning granules) is one of the key processes. However, granular materials are prone to caking due to humidity or their own characteristics during storage or transportation, resulting in poor flowability and affecting filling efficiency and quality.

[0003] Traditional filling equipment typically uses a static conveying method, which makes it easy for materials to accumulate and compact at the bottom of the tank, further aggravating the clumping problem. In addition, the unidirectional drying method is difficult to remove moisture from the material evenly, resulting in insufficient drying in some areas, which may still lead to clumping. Utility Model Content

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 This utility model provides a food processing filling device, which includes: a tank body 2, a feeding port 1 on the tank body 2, and a conveying pipe 15 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the tank body 2, considering the problem that the material cannot be naturally loosened and stuck together. The conveying pipe 15 is provided with multiple discharge holes 13, and an auger 14 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the conveying pipe 15. The material at the bottom of the tank body 2 is conveyed upward through the auger 14 and the material is evenly sprinkled outward from the discharge holes 13, making the material loose.

[0023] Considering that the loosened material needs to be dried quickly to prevent it from getting damp and clumping, which would affect the filling process, the tank body 2 is equipped with multiple air holes 5. The inner wall of the air holes 5 is fixedly connected with a protective net 6 to prevent the material from spilling out of the air holes 5. The outer wall of the tank body 2 is equipped with a sliding component to move the drying component to different positions of the air holes 5, so as to achieve multi-directional drying. The sliding component is equipped with a drying component to dry the spilled material.

[0024] In summary, the improvement of this embodiment lies in:

[0025] The auger 14, in conjunction with the conveying pipe 15 and the discharge hole 13, can lift the material at the bottom of the tank 2 upwards and sprinkle it down from a height. When the material falls from a height, it naturally loosens, reducing the adhesion between particles and improving the subsequent drying efficiency. The drying component can blow hot air onto the sprinkled material, which can reduce the moisture of the material and prevent it from getting damp and clumping, thus affecting the filling process. The sliding component can drive the drying component to move around in a circle, and with the help of multiple air holes 5, multi-directional drying can be achieved, improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying.

[0026] Based on the above, other structures also need to be disclosed in detail, such as:

[0027] Reference Figure 2Considering the need for precise control of the filling process, a filling assembly is installed at the bottom of the tank 2. The filling assembly includes a switch valve 7 and a filling pipe 8. The switch valve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the tank 2, and the filling pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the switch valve 7. The opening of the tank 2 is precisely controlled by the switch valve 7, thereby controlling the filling volume.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 Considering the need for stable power input for the auger 14, a motor 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank 2, and the auger 14 is driven by the motor 12.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 The sliding assembly includes a slide rail 3 and a frame 4. The slide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank 2, and the frame 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 3. The frame 4 is located on one side of the air vent 5. A bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the frame 4, and a motor 9 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the bracket 11. A rubber pulley 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9. The rubber pulley 10 is slidably connected to the side surface of the slide rail 3. The slide rail 3 provides a track for the frame 4 to slide. The motor 9 drives the rubber pulley 10 to rotate and slide on the outer wall of the slide rail 3, thereby driving the frame 4 to move on the slide rail 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 The drying assembly includes: a connecting frame 17, a motor 18, a fan blade 19, and a heating plate 16. The connecting frame 17 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the frame 4, the motor 18 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting frame 17, the fan blade 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18, and the heating plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the frame 4. The heating plate 16 heats the air around the fan blade 19, and the motor 18 drives the fan blade 19 to rotate, thereby blowing hot air from the air hole 5 into the tank 2.

[0031] Working principle: First, the granular material to be filled enters the tank 2 through the feeding port 1 for storage. The motor 12 is started to drive the auger 14 to rotate. The spiral blades of the auger 14 lift the material at the bottom of the tank 2 upward along the conveying pipe 15. When the material reaches the discharge hole 13, it is evenly sprinkled outward from multiple discharge holes 13. During the falling process, the material is naturally loosened due to free fall motion, which effectively reduces the adhesion between particles.

[0032] At the same time, the sliding assembly starts to work. Motor 2 9 drives the rubber pulley 10 to roll on the slide rail 3, which drives the frame 4 to move horizontally along the outer wall of the tank 2, so that the drying assembly moves to the corresponding position of each air hole 5 in sequence. The heating plate 16 inside the frame 4 is powered on and heats up. Motor 3 18 drives the fan blade 19 to rotate and generate airflow. The hot air is guided by the connecting frame 17 and blown out from the air hole 5 to dry the material sprinkled below from multiple directions, quickly remove the surface moisture of the particles and prevent them from getting damp and clumping.

[0033] After the material has been loosened and dried, the switch valve 7 is opened, and the dried material flows into the packaging container in a measured amount through the filling pipe 8, completing the entire filling process. The slide rail 3 provides a stable sliding track for the frame 4, the protective net 6 prevents the material from leaking from the air hole 5, the rubber pulley 10 ensures smooth movement, multiple discharge holes 13 work with the screw conveyor 14 to achieve uniform material dispersion, and multiple sets of air holes 5 work together with the mobile drying components to improve drying efficiency, ultimately achieving efficient connection between the material loosening, drying and filling stages.

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
