Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cosmetic production equipment, and more specifically, relates to a novel four-station linear volumetric automatic filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most volumetric automatic filling machines on the market use an angle piston valve design to control the start and stop of material discharge. This design involves placing a cylinder at the inlet with a stroke direction perpendicular to the feeding direction. The cylinder push rod drives the piston to extend and block the material from entering the filling system from the storage area, thereby controlling the start and stop.

[0003] Many commercially available equipment uses a single electric cylinder to drive multiple material cylinder pistons in a coordinated discharge method, achieving multi-port discharge. While multi-port discharge with a single electric cylinder driving multiple material cylinder pistons can improve the filling efficiency of the production line, it becomes inconvenient when the number of discharge ports needs to be adjusted or reduced in actual production. This requires disassembling both the discharge ports and the corresponding material cylinders at each station. When the angle plunger valve is used with materials containing particles, the piston and the inlet have a sealing surface, which can easily crush the particles in the material, affecting the final quality of the material.

[0004] Most current equipment on the market uses a one-to-one correspondence between the number of bottles filled and the number of dispensing ports; that is, a six-station filling machine with six filling heads will fill six bottles per batch. However, this invention can fill twice the number of filling stations, meaning the four-station equipment can fill eight bottles per batch. The electronic control program first fills bottles with odd-numbered positions, then fills bottles with even-numbered positions. This design significantly reduces the size of the equipment and lowers manufacturing costs.

[0005] In conclusion, it is essential to develop a multi-station linear volumetric automatic filling machine that does not affect the final quality of the materials. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0029] A new type of four-station linear volumetric automatic filling machine, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the system includes a frame 10, a conveyor line 20, a discharging mechanism 30, a bottle-separating mechanism 40, a storage mechanism 50, and a pressing mechanism 60. The conveyor line 20, discharging mechanism 30, bottle-separating mechanism 40, storage mechanism 50, and pressing mechanism 60 are all mounted on the frame 10, with the storage mechanism 50 mounted on the upper mounting frame 102. The conveyor line 20, discharging mechanism 30, bottle-separating mechanism 40, pressing mechanism 60, and fiber optic sensor (103) are all mounted on the base plate 101. The discharging mechanism 30 and storage mechanism 50 are connected to the pressing mechanism 60 via flexible hoses. The material is pre-loaded into the storage mechanism 50 for storage and then quantitatively conveyed to the discharging mechanism 30 via the pressing mechanism 60 to complete the filling process.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the discharge mechanism 30 includes a discharge electric cylinder 301, an adjusting handle 304, a discharge device 302, and a guide rail 303. The adjusting handle 304, the discharge device 302, and the guide rail 303 are all fixedly connected to the discharge electric cylinder 301. There are four sets of discharge devices 302 and adjusting handles 304. The discharge device 302 includes a discharge port 3021 and a discharge valve 3022. The discharge port 3021 and the discharge valve 3022 are both fixedly connected to the discharge electric cylinder 301. The discharge port 3021 is controlled by the discharge valve 3022. The discharge of material from the discharge port 3021, the guide rail 303, and the discharge valve 3022 is driven by the electric cylinder 301 to move up and down.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottle-separating mechanism 40 includes a bottle-separating device 401 and a slide rail 402. The bottle-separating device 401 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 402. The slide rail 402 is provided with four bottle-separating devices 401. The bottle-separating device 401 includes a bottle-separating baffle 4011, a bottle-separating handle 4012, and a bottle-separating cylinder 4013. The bottle-separating baffle 4011 and the bottle-separating handle 4012 are both fixedly connected to the bottle-separating cylinder 4013. The bottle-separating baffle 4011 is controlled by the bottle-separating handle 4012 and the bottle-separating cylinder 4013. The bottle-separating baffle 4011 moves horizontally under the push of the bottle-separating cylinder 4013 to block the filling containers on the conveyor line 20.

[0032] like Figure 6As shown, the pressing mechanism 60 includes an electric cylinder 601, a 70ml material cylinder 602, a ceramic rotary valve 603, a pressing cylinder 604, a material cylinder piston 605, and a valve core 606. The extension and retraction of the pressing cylinder 604 controls the opening and closing of the ceramic rotary valve 603 and valve core 606, thereby controlling the start and end of filling. The valve core 606 has three channels. When the pressing cylinder 604 is extended, the valve core 606 forms a vertical passage, and the vertical opening of the ceramic rotary valve 603 is also open. Driven by the electric cylinder 601, the material cylinder piston 605 descends, creating negative pressure to draw material from the storage mechanism 50 into the 70ml material cylinder 602. After the electric cylinder 601 descends to its final position, the pressing cylinder 604 retracts, causing the valve core 606 to rotate. At this time, the ceramic rotary valve 603 forms passages in both the 70ml material cylinder 602 and the discharge mechanism 30, while the passage to the storage mechanism 50 is closed. Driven by the electric cylinder 601, the piston 605 of the material cylinder rises and pushes the material into the discharge mechanism 30 to fill the filling containers on the conveyor line 20.

[0033] As a preferred option, the cylinders mentioned above can all be replaced with ball screw pairs or gear racks.

[0034] Working process: During the working process, the material storage mechanism 50 has been filled with the material to be filled. The bottle-separating mechanism 40's second and third bottle-separating baffles 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 have their bottle-separating cylinders 4013 in the retracted state, while the first bottle-separating baffle 4011 has its bottle-separating cylinder 401 in the extended state. The material cylinder piston 605 is in the retracted state of the electric cylinder 601, and the 70ml material cylinder 602 already contains material.

[0035] Step 1: The filling containers are driven into the working area by the conveyor line 20, and the fiber optic sensor (103) counts the filling containers entering the working area.

[0036] Step 2: The filling container is blocked by the second bottle-splitting baffle 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 and cannot move forward. When the fiber optic sensor (103) counts to the 8th filling container, the first bottle-splitting baffle 4011 is contracted by the bottle-splitting cylinder 4013 to block the subsequent filling containers, ensuring that there are only 8 filling containers in the working area.

[0037] Step 3: The pressing cylinder 604 of the pressing mechanism 60 retracts the push rod, causing the valve core 606 to rotate, so that the ceramic rotary valve 603 forms a passage in the two directions of the 70ml material cylinder 602 and the discharge mechanism 30, while the passage to the storage mechanism 50 is closed.

[0038] Step 4: The electric cylinder 301 of the discharge mechanism 30 descends, and the discharge device 302 reaches the working position.

[0039] Step 5: The piston 605 of the material cylinder of the pressing mechanism 60 rises under the drive of the electric cylinder 601, pushing the material into the discharge mechanism 30. The discharge valve 3022 opens to open the discharge port 3021, and the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th filling containers on the conveyor line 20 are filled.

[0040] Step 6: After filling is completed, the pressing cylinder 604 of the pressing mechanism 60 extends the push rod to drive the rotation of the valve core 606, so that the ceramic rotary valve 603 forms a passage between the storage mechanism 50 and the 70ml cylinder 602.

[0041] Step 7: The piston 605 of the material cylinder of the pressing mechanism 60 descends under the drive of the electric cylinder 601 to form a negative pressure, drawing the material from the storage mechanism 50 into the 70ml material cylinder 602.

[0042] Step 8: The second bottle-separating baffle 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 extends away from the top of the conveyor line 20 as the cooperating bottle-separating cylinder 4013 extends. The conveyor line 20 drives the filling container to move until the filling container touches the third bottle-separating baffle 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 and stops.

[0043] Step 9: Repeat steps 3 and 4.

[0044] Step 10: The piston 605 of the material cylinder of the pressing mechanism 60 rises under the drive of the electric cylinder 601 to push the material into the discharge mechanism 30, and fills the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th filling containers on the conveyor line 20, completing the filling of all filling containers in the working area.

[0045] Step 11: The first and third bottle-separating baffles 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 extend away from the top of the conveyor line 20 along with the cooperating bottle-separating cylinders 4013, and the filled containers enter the next station along the conveyor line 20.

[0046] Step 12: The second bottle-separating baffle 4011 in the direction of travel of the conveyor line 20 retracts and resets with the cooperation bottle-separating cylinder 4013, and Step 1 is repeated.
