Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial preparation production equipment technology, specifically to a filtration and filling linkage device for liquid bacterial agents. Background Technology

[0002] As an important product in modern agriculture and environmental protection, the production quality of liquid microbial agents directly affects the activity of the microbial strains and their application effects. The production process involves a series of steps, including cleaning, filling, and capping. Currently, the industry commonly uses production equipment that consists of independently operating, decentralized units—cleaning machines, filling machines, and capping machines—connected manually or via simple conveyor systems.

[0003] This split-type equipment layout has several inherent drawbacks: First, the bottles need to be transferred and repositioned multiple times between stages, which not only greatly limits the overall production line efficiency but also significantly increases the risk of secondary contamination during transfer, making it difficult to meet the stringent cleanliness requirements of liquid bacterial agents. Second, in the filling stage, liquid bacterial agents often contain minute impurities such as mycelium and culture medium residues. Existing filling equipment typically does not integrate online filtration, requiring reliance on pre-filtration processes or additional filtration equipment. This not only increases the complexity of the process and equipment costs but also introduces potential contamination risks due to the intermediate steps. Third, existing cleaning equipment mostly uses rinsing methods, which have limited cleaning effectiveness on the inner walls of the bottles and may leave cleaning blind spots; insufficient precision in controlling the filling volume can easily lead to inconsistent product quantities, affecting product quality and commercial image. Finally, the maintenance and debugging of this series-connected equipment is often interconnected; a failure in one machine can cause the entire line to shut down, resulting in high maintenance costs and poor flexibility.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a linkage device that can highly integrate functions such as cleaning, filtering, filling, and capping, and can realize fully automated, sealed, and precise operation, so as to fundamentally solve the problems of low efficiency, high risk of contamination, insufficient filling accuracy, and inconvenient maintenance in the existing technology.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0027] Example 1: like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a filtration and filling linkage device for liquid bacterial agents. The overall process is as follows: empty bottles sequentially pass through a cleaning component 2, a transition component 3, a filling component 4, a capping component 5, and a bottle outlet component 6, and are finally output via a feeding track 7. The entire process is automatically completed under the continuous conveying of the filling conveyor belt 1 and the coordination of the control system.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning component 2 is crucial for ensuring the cleanliness of the bottle. Its core includes a main cleaning turntable 202 driven by a power unit. Multiple independent cleaning components 203 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the main cleaning turntable 202. A cleaning delivery pipe 201 is located above the main cleaning turntable 202, supplying cleaning water or disinfectant to each independent cleaning component 203. A bottle guard plate 204 is located below the main cleaning turntable 202 to support and initially position the bottle from the bottom during the cleaning process.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, each of the independent cleaning components 203 includes an outer support frame 1001 fixed to the outer wall of the main cleaning turntable 202. A position adjustment push plate 1002, which can be driven by a cylinder or motor, is mounted on the outer support frame 1001. A vertically arranged inner cleaning brush 1004 is connected to the right end of the position adjustment push plate 1002. The inner cleaning brush 1004 is hollow inside, and its upper end is connected to a branch of the cleaning conveying pipe 201 via a flexible hose. When the bottle enters the cleaning station with the conveyor belt, the position adjustment push plate 1002 pushes the inner cleaning brush 1004 downwards into the bottle. At this time, the cleaning fluid flows out through the inner cleaning brush 1004, and the inner cleaning brush 1004 can rotate on its own or brush the inner wall of the bottle through a mechanical structure to achieve thorough cleaning. A locking guard plate 1003 is provided parallel to the inner side of the inner cleaning brush 1004. This guard plate works in conjunction with the inner cleaning brush 1004 as it descends, gripping the bottle from the outside to prevent the bottle from tipping over or shifting during the cleaning process.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the filling component 4 is responsible for precisely filling the cleaned bottles with liquid bacterial agent. Its core includes a filling turntable 402, which is precisely driven by a servo motor. Multiple independent filling assemblies 403 (such as peristaltic pumps or metering pump heads) are arranged on the outer wall of the filling turntable 402. The upper end of each independent filling assembly 403 is connected to a filling delivery pipe 401, which is responsible for conveying the liquid bacterial agent. Crucially, a filtration system is integrated into the filling delivery pipe 401, which performs a final filtration of the liquid bacterial agent before filling, removing any impurities and ensuring product purity. Each independent filling assembly 403 can be independently controlled by the control system to achieve high-precision metered filling.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the capping component 5 is used to cap the filled bottles. Its core includes a capping shaft 501, which drives multiple independent sealing components 503 mounted on its outer side to rotate. The bottle cap is conveyed by a cap feeding device into the positioning space formed between the limiting chuck 502 and the lower limiting sleeve shaft 504. When the bottle arrives at the capping station along the conveyor line, the bottle mouth is directly below the cap, and the independent sealing components 503 descend, grabbing the cap and completing the tightening or pressing action. The coaxial arrangement of the limiting chuck 502 and the lower limiting sleeve shaft 504 ensures the accuracy of the cap position.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottle ejection component 6 is used to output the finished bottles after capping in an orderly manner. It includes a rotating shaft 601, which drives a coaxially mounted conveyor chuck 602 to rotate. The conveyor chuck 602 has slots that match the shape of the bottles to receive the bottles exiting the capping component. A transition track 603 is connected to the right end of the conveyor chuck 602 to guide the bottles to the unloading track 7. A spacing adjustment clip 604 is provided on the outer side of the transition track 603. This clip can intermittently block the bottles, readjusting a group of bottles that may become densely packed due to transfer to a uniform spacing, facilitating subsequent packaging or stacking.

[0033] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: Empty bottles are fed into the cleaning unit 2 by the filling conveyor belt 1. In the cleaning unit 2, after the bottles are fixed, they are internally scrubbed and rinsed by an independent cleaning component 203. The cleaned bottles are then smoothly transferred to the filling unit 4 via the transition component 3. In the filling unit 4, the filling turntable 402 rotates intermittently; at each rotation, an independent filling component 403 precisely fills a bottle with filtered liquid bacterial agent. After filling, the bottles are conveyed to the capping unit 5, where an independent sealing kit 503 completes the capping and sealing. Finally, the finished bottles are conveyed by the bottle exiting unit 6, using a chuck 602 and a transition track 603, and adjusted by the spacing adjustment clip 604, entering the unloading track 7 at an appropriate spacing, completing the entire production process.

[0034] Throughout the process, a PLC-based control system provides unified command. Sensors located at key nodes detect the bottle's position and coordinate the start, stop, and linkage of various processes such as cleaning, filling, capping, and bottle dispensing, achieving fully automated and continuous production from empty bottles to finished products.
