Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage filling technology, and more specifically, to a beverage filling quantitative liquid injection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Beverages are liquid foods made from water as a basic ingredient, produced using different formulas and manufacturing processes, and intended for direct consumption. Besides providing hydration, beverages contain varying amounts of sugar, acid, milk, sodium, fat, energy, and nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and inorganic salts. Filling is a crucial step in beverage production. Currently, beverage filling and dispensing mechanisms typically work in conjunction with conveyor belt mechanisms. To ensure conveying efficiency, several beverage bottles are usually placed side-by-side on the conveyor belt, and then transported to corresponding dispensing nozzles for batch, synchronous filling. However, because the positions of the dispensing nozzles are fixed, the spacing between adjacent nozzles cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to adapt to beverage bottles of different outer diameters, thus limiting its application. Therefore, this invention designs a quantitative dispensing mechanism for beverage filling to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a beverage filling and dispensing mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A beverage filling and metering liquid injection mechanism includes a horizontal support rod, a fixed tube seat, and several movable tube seats. Side frames are fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal support rod. The fixed tube seat is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the horizontal support rod. Several movable tube seats are slidably sleeved on the outside of the horizontal support rod. Injection tubes are fixedly inserted through both the fixed and movable tube seats. An injection nozzle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each injection tube. A solenoid valve is installed on the injection tube. Several side grooves are equidistantly spaced on the side of the horizontal support rod, with the number of side grooves exceeding the number of movable tube seats. A T-shaped column slides through the side of each movable tube seat. A spring is fixedly connected between the movable tube seat and the T-shaped column. The end of the T-shaped column is adapted to the side groove.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a controller is provided on the side of the side frame, and a flow sensor is provided on the side of the injection tube near the solenoid valve. The output end of the flow sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the controller, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the input end of the solenoid valve.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the T-shaped column, and the cross-sectional shape of the handle is U-shaped.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the injection tube is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet connector.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing block is fixedly connected between the transverse support rod and the side frame, and the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing block is triangular.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end face of the side frame has two mounting holes, which are symmetrically distributed.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. In the use of this utility model, when encountering beverage packaging bottles with different outer diameters, the T-shaped column is pulled outward using the handle. The spring is stretched, causing the T-shaped column to disengage from the side groove. The moving tube seat is then slid along the transverse support rod to the desired position. The spring drives the end of the T-shaped column to engage with the corresponding side groove on the transverse support rod, so that the moving tube seat and the injection tube are firmly fixed on the transverse support rod. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between adjacent injection nozzles, making it suitable for beverage packaging bottles with different outer diameters and improving the application range of the injection mechanism.
[0013] 2. This utility model uses a flow sensor, a solenoid valve and a controller. The flow sensor can monitor the flow rate of the beverage in real time. When the flow rate reaches a preset value, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close automatically, which facilitates quantitative liquid injection during the filling process.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a beverage filling and quantitative liquid injection mechanism, including a horizontal support rod 1, a fixed tube seat 3, and several movable tube seats 4. Both ends of the horizontal support rod 1 are fixedly connected to side frames 2. The fixed tube seat 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the horizontal support rod 1. Several movable tube seats 4 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the horizontal support rod 1. A liquid injection tube 5 is fixedly inserted through both the fixed tube seat 3 and the movable tube seat 4. The bottom end of the liquid injection tube 5 is fixedly connected to a liquid injection nozzle 501. A solenoid valve 502 is provided on the liquid injection tube 5. Several side grooves 6 are equidistantly spaced on the side of the horizontal support rod 1. The number of side grooves 6 is greater than the number of movable tube seats 4. A T-shaped column 7 is slidably inserted through the side of the movable tube seat 4. A spring 401 is fixedly connected between the movable tube seat 4 and the T-shaped column 7. The end of the T-shaped column 7 is adapted to the side groove 6. The end of the T-shaped column 7 can be inserted into the corresponding side groove 6 on the horizontal support rod 1, so that the movable tube seat 4 and the liquid injection tube 5 are tightly fixed on the horizontal support rod 1.
[0021] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a controller 8 is provided on the side of the side frame 2, and a flow sensor 503 is provided on the side of the injection pipe 5 near the solenoid valve 502. The output end of the flow sensor 503 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 8, and the output end of the controller 8 is electrically connected to the input end of the solenoid valve 502. The flow sensor 503 can monitor the flow rate of the beverage in real time. If the beverage flow rate reaches the preset value, the controller 8 controls the solenoid valve 502 to automatically close, thereby facilitating quantitative injection during the filling process.
[0022] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, a handle 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the T-shaped column 7. The cross-sectional shape of the handle 701 is U-shaped, which facilitates pulling the T-shaped column 7 outward.
[0023] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the injection tube 5 is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet connector 504. The liquid inlet tube 5 can be connected to the corresponding beverage supply pipeline using the liquid inlet connector 504.
[0024] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, a reinforcing block 101 is fixedly connected between the transverse support rod 1 and the side frame 2. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing block 101 is triangular, which achieves the purpose of improving the stability of the connection structure between the transverse support rod 1 and the side frame 2.
[0025] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end face of the side frame 2 has two mounting holes 201, which are symmetrically distributed to achieve the purpose of fixing the side frame 2 to the lifting end frame.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model:
[0027] During use, the side frame 2 is fixedly installed on the lifting end frame. The liquid inlet pipe 5 is connected to the corresponding beverage supply line via the liquid inlet connector 504. The conveyor belt mechanism transports the adjacent beverage bottles sequentially to the bottom of each liquid inlet pipe 5. The drive unit moves the lifting end frame, side frame 2, and liquid inlet pipe 5 downwards, causing the liquid inlet nozzle 501 to descend to the desired position. The solenoid valve 502 is opened, and the beverage supply line injects the beverage into the beverage bottle through the liquid inlet pipe 5 and the liquid inlet nozzle 501. The flow sensor 503 monitors the flow rate of the passing beverage in real time. If the beverage flow rate reaches a preset value, the controller 8 controls... The solenoid valve 502 automatically closes, facilitating quantitative liquid injection during the filling process. When encountering beverage packaging bottles with different outer diameters, the handle 701 is used to pull the T-shaped column 7 outwards, causing the spring 401 to stretch and disengage the T-shaped column 7 from the side groove 6. The moving tube seat 4 is then slid along the transverse support rod 1 to the desired position. The spring 401 drives the end of the T-shaped column 7 to engage with the corresponding side groove 6 on the transverse support rod 1, thus securing the moving tube seat 4 and the injection tube 5 in place on the transverse support rod 1. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between adjacent injection nozzles 501, making it suitable for beverage packaging bottles with different outer diameters.
