Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of filling equipment technology, and specifically relates to a feeding mechanism for ointment filling. Background Technology

[0002] After the ointment products are manufactured, they need to be packaged before they can be sold. In the production process, the ointment is usually injected into a storage cylinder, and then the ointment in the storage cylinder is discharged and injected into the ointment bottle.

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN213528201U discloses a feeding mechanism for an automatic filling machine, including a feeding box. A bearing is located on the left side of the feeding box, and a horizontal support plate is also located on the left side. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal support plate. A stirring shaft is located inside the feeding box. The left side of the stirring shaft passes through the left side of the inner wall of the feeding box and the inner ring of the bearing, while the right side passes through the right side of the inner wall of the feeding box and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. Multiple stirring blades are evenly arranged on the outer ring of the stirring shaft. A liquid pump is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding box, and a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet of the liquid pump. A water bath is located at the bottom of the feeding box, and a discharge pipe is connected through the middle of the bottom of the feeding box. The output shaft of the drive motor can drive the stirring shaft and stirring blades to rotate rapidly. The stirring blades can evenly stir the liquid material in the feeding box, avoiding uneven viscosity and ensuring the uniformity of the material entering the filling machine.

[0004] In the ointment filling process, the storage cylinder often needs to be cleaned after the material is used up. If it is not cleaned and new material is poured in directly, the old ointment remaining in the storage cylinder may deteriorate due to contact with air and microorganisms, which may have various negative impacts on product quality, production efficiency, and the equipment itself. Existing storage cylinders often have a feed pipe, and to meet the feeding requirements, the storage cylinder is often relatively tall and integrally formed. This makes it difficult to clean the storage cylinder effectively, increases the labor intensity of workers, and reduces cleaning efficiency. The filling pump discharges the material in the storage cylinder and supplies it to the ointment bottle. This operation requires workers to first clamp the ointment bottle, then feed the material, and after feeding, remove the ointment bottle, replace it with a new one, and repeat the operation. This operation is cumbersome, increases waiting time, and reduces feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism for ointment filling, which has the advantages of facilitating the cleaning of the storage cylinder and reducing waiting time within a certain range, thereby improving feeding efficiency.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a feeding mechanism for ointment filling, including a base plate, with support columns welded around the bottom of the base plate, a bracket welded to the top of the base plate, and fixing plates connected to both sides of the bracket by bolts and threads. A storage cylinder is welded to one side of each of the two fixing plates. The storage cylinder is configured as an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the upper cylinder, and a first discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cylinder. A filling pump is fixedly connected to the other end of the first discharge pipe, and a second discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the filling pump. Several insert rods are welded in a circumferential array at the bottom of the upper cylinder. Several insertion holes matching the insert rods are opened at the top of the lower cylinder. The surface of the insert rod is inserted into the interior of the insertion hole. A fixing mechanism is provided on the surface of the storage cylinder. A circular groove is opened through the right side of the top of the base plate. A rotating disk is rotatably connected to the interior of the circular groove through a bearing. Clamping components are symmetrically arranged on the top of the rotating disk. A driving mechanism is provided on the right side of the bottom of the base plate.

The top of both the upper ear plate and the lower ear plate are provided with threaded fixing holes, and a threaded fixing rod is threadedly connected inside the threaded fixing hole. A knob is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded fixing rod.

[0009] The above technical solution, by setting up a fixing mechanism, facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the upper and lower cylinders, improving installation and disassembly efficiency and simplifying operation.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the clamping assembly includes a U-shaped plate, the bottom of the U-shaped plate is bolted to the top of the rotating disk, a spring is fixedly connected to the front side of the two U-shaped plates, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring.

[0011] The above technical solution allows for easy fixation of the ointment bottle by setting up a clamping component, preventing it from shaking during rotation, and enabling the clamping of ointment bottles of different sizes within a certain range.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the driving mechanism includes a connecting plate, the top of the vertical surface of the connecting plate is welded to the right side of the bottom of the base plate, a motor is bolted to the left side of the top of the horizontal surface of the connecting plate, a half gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the right side of the top of the horizontal surface of the connecting plate through a bearing, a full gear that meshes with the half gear is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod, and the top end of the rotating rod is welded to the bottom end of the rotating disk.

[0013] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a drive mechanism, the half gear can drive the full gear to rotate intermittently, so that the rotating rod and the rotating disk can rotate intermittently, which facilitates the synchronous feeding and removal and insertion of new ointment bottles.

[0014] The present invention is further provided that a sealing ring is bonded to the joint between the upper and lower feed cylinders.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing ring can be set to further seal the joint between the upper and lower feed cylinders, preventing material spillage and interference from the external environment.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A feeding mechanism for ointment filling includes a base plate 1. Support columns 2 are welded to all four sides of the bottom of the base plate 1. A bracket 3 is welded to the top of the base plate 1. Fixing plates 4 are threadedly connected to both sides of the bracket 3 via bolts. Storage cylinders 5 are welded to opposite sides of the two fixing plates 4. The storage cylinders 5 are configured as an upper cylinder 501 and a lower cylinder 502. An inlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper cylinder 501, and a first outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cylinder 502. The other end of 7 is fixedly connected to a filling pump 8, and the output end of the filling pump 8 is fixedly connected to a second discharge pipe 9. Several insert rods 10 are welded in a circumferential array at the bottom of the upper feeding cylinder 501. Several insertion holes 11 matching the insert rods 10 are opened at the top of the lower feeding cylinder 502. The surface of the insert rods 10 is inserted into the interior of the insertion holes 11. A fixing mechanism 12 is provided on the surface of the storage cylinder 5, which facilitates opening the storage cylinder 5 and cleaning the upper feeding cylinder 501 and the lower feeding cylinder 502 separately. A valve is provided on the surface of the second discharge pipe 9 to facilitate control of material discharge.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 12 includes an upper ear plate 1201, which is symmetrically welded to the surface of the upper material cylinder 501 on the side near the storage cylinder 5. The lower ear plate 1202 is symmetrically welded to the surface of the lower material cylinder 502. The top of both the upper ear plate 1201 and the lower ear plate 1202 are provided with threaded fixing holes 1203. The threaded fixing holes 1203 are threadedly connected to a threaded fixing rod 1204. The bottom end of the threaded fixing rod 1204 is fixedly connected to a knob 1205. By setting the fixing mechanism 12, the upper material cylinder 501 and the lower material cylinder 502 can be quickly installed and disassembled, which improves the installation and disassembly efficiency and makes the operation simple.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 A sealing ring 17 is bonded to the joint between the upper feed cylinder 501 and the lower feed cylinder 502. By setting the sealing ring 17, the joint between the upper feed cylinder 501 and the lower feed cylinder 502 can be further sealed to prevent material from overflowing and external environment from interfering with the material.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the storage cylinder 5 is symmetrically welded with rope rings 18 in the front and back directions. The surface of the rope rings 18 is attached with traction ropes 19. By setting the rope rings 18 and traction ropes 19, the upper cylinder 501 can bear part of the force of the lower cylinder 502, so as to avoid the lower cylinder 502 from being subjected to excessive force, which would cause damage to it and other parts.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 The top end of the feed pipe 6 is threaded with a cap 20. By setting the cap 20, it is easy to open and close the feed pipe 6, and the operation is simple.

[0037] Brief description of the usage process: Rotate the knob 1205 to move the threaded fixing rod 1204 downward, so that the threaded fixing rod 1204 disengages from the threaded fixing hole 1203. Untie the traction rope 19 on the rope ring 18, move the lower material cylinder 502 downward, so that the insertion rod 10 separates from the insertion hole 11, and the lower material cylinder 502 can be removed. Use a wrench or other tools to rotate the bolts to release the fixing plate 4 from the bracket 3, and the upper material cylinder 501 can be removed.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A feeding mechanism for ointment filling has a circular groove 13 extending through the right side of the top of the base plate 1. A rotating disk 14 is rotatably connected inside the circular groove 13 via a bearing. A clamping assembly 15 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the rotating disk 14. A driving mechanism 16 is arranged on the right side of the bottom of the base plate 1, which reduces the waiting time for removing and clamping the ointment bottle and improves the filling efficiency.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 The clamping assembly 15 includes a U-shaped plate 1501. The bottom of the U-shaped plate 1501 is bolted to the top of the rotating disk 14. A spring 1502 is fixedly connected to the front side of the two U-shaped plates 1501. The other end of the spring 1502 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 1503. By setting the clamping assembly 15, it is easy to fix the ointment bottle and prevent it from shaking during rotation. At the same time, it can clamp ointment bottles of different sizes within a certain range.

[0041] refer to Figure 4 The drive mechanism 16 includes a connecting plate 1601. The top of the vertical surface of the connecting plate 1601 is welded to the right side of the bottom of the base plate 1. A motor 1602 is bolted to the left side of the top of the horizontal surface of the connecting plate 1601. A half gear 1603 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1602. A rotating rod 1604 is rotatably connected to the right side of the top of the horizontal surface of the connecting plate 1601 via a bearing. A full gear 1605 that meshes with the half gear 1603 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 1604. The top of the rotating rod 1604 is welded to the bottom end of the rotating disk 14. By setting the drive mechanism 16, the half gear 1603 can drive the full gear 1605 to rotate intermittently, so that the rotating rod 1604 and the rotating disk 14 rotate intermittently, which facilitates the synchronous feeding and removal and insertion of new ointment bottles.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 A protective shell 21 is bolted to the left side of the top of the horizontal surface of the connecting plate 1601. The surface of the motor 1602 is bolted to the inside of the protective shell 21. By setting the protective shell 21, the motor 1602 can be prevented from being damaged during operation. The protective shell 21 is set as a metal mesh structure to facilitate heat dissipation of the motor 1602.

[0043] Brief description of the usage process: Start the motor 1602, which drives the half gear 1603 to rotate. The half gear 1603 drives the full gear 1605 to rotate intermittently, causing the rotating rod 1604 and the rotating disk 14 to rotate intermittently. When the teeth of the half gear 1603 mesh with the full gear 1605, the full gear 1605 and the rotating rod 1604 will rotate 180 degrees, causing the rotating disk 14 and the clamping assembly 15 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously. This allows the ointment bottle held by the clamping assembly 15 to rotate 180 degrees to directly below the outlet of the second discharge pipe 9. The other half of the half gear 1603 has no teeth. At this time, the rotation of the half gear 1603 cannot drive the full gear 1605 and the rotating rod 1604 to rotate, thus preventing the ointment bottle from rotating and completing the feeding process. The other clamping assembly 15 is then inserted by the operator with an empty ointment bottle. When the teeth of the half gear 1603 mesh with the full gear 1605 again, the rotating disk 14 rotates 180 degrees, and the positions of the ointment bottle that has been fed and the empty ointment bottle are exchanged. The empty ointment bottle is then fed, and the ointment bottle that has been fed is removed. This operation can be repeated.

[0044] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.

[0045] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
