Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine installation technology, and in particular to a limiting device for the installation of an auxiliary pressure arm. Background Technology

[0002] The filling machine is a key piece of equipment in the beverage filling process. It uses a pressure arm to precisely press the filling valve against the container opening for quantitative filling. As a core component, the installation accuracy of the pressure arm directly determines the stability, sealing performance, and filling precision of the filling process.

[0003] Currently, the installation of the pressure arm in filling machines mainly relies on manual experience. During installation, operators need to manually adjust the pressure arm to the predetermined position and align it with the filling platform below. This process depends entirely on the operator's visual inspection and feel, which overly relies on individual skills. This leads to significant deviations in the position when different operators install it or even when the same operator installs it multiple times, making it difficult to ensure installation accuracy. Furthermore, the pressure arm cannot be kept level during installation, and uneven force is easily applied to both ends when installing the fixing screws. This can not only damage the fixing screws but also lead to quality problems such as poor horizontal sealing, thereby affecting the subsequent beverage production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a limiting device for assisting in the installation of a pressure arm, which can ensure the horizontality of the installation arm during the installation process and reduce potential quality problems.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] This utility model provides a limiting device for assisting in the installation of a pressure arm, which can keep the pressure arm horizontal during the installation process, ensure that the force at both ends is uniform when installing screws, avoid the quality risks of poor horizontal sealing, and ensure the efficiency of subsequent beverage production.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the limiting device includes a U-shaped component 1 and an adjusting assembly 2. The U-shaped component 1 includes a support plate 11, a first plate 12, and a second plate 13. The first plate 12 and the second plate 13 are respectively disposed on both sides of the support plate 11, forming a fixing groove 14 with the support plate 11. The first plate 12 abuts against the main body of the filling machine. The adjusting assembly 2 includes a limiting plate 21 and an adjusting rod 22. The limiting plate 21 is located in the fixing groove 14 and is movably abutted against the support plate 11 in the horizontal direction. The adjusting rod 22 passes through the second plate 13 and abuts against the limiting plate 21. The pressure arm abuts between the first plate 12 and the limiting plate 21.

[0038] The adjusting rod 22 is moved to clamp and fit the first plate 12 and the limiting plate 21 against both sides of the pressure arm. Simultaneously, the first plate 12 abuts against the main body of the filling machine. Screws are then installed to fix the pressure arm to the main body of the filling machine. After the pressure arm is installed, the adjusting rod 22 is moved in the opposite direction to loosen the limiting plate 21 and separate the device from the pressure arm. During installation, under the clamping and limiting action of the first plate 12, the limiting plate 21, and the supporting plate 11, the pressure arm remains horizontal, and the force at both ends is evenly distributed when installing screws, reducing potential quality issues and ensuring subsequent beverage production efficiency. Furthermore, it does not rely on the operator's experience or personal skills, ensuring installation accuracy.

[0039] The lengths of the first plate 12 and the limiting plate 21 are both less than the length of the pressure arm to be installed, so as to prevent the first plate 12 and the limiting plate 21 from obstructing the installation of the screw.

[0040] Optionally, a fixing hole 121 is provided on the first plate 12. The fixing hole 121 is configured to engage with the main body of the filling machine to ensure the stability of the U-shaped part 1 during the installation of the pressure arm.

[0041] Optionally, the second plate 13 has a threaded hole, and the outer wall of the adjusting rod 22 is threaded. The adjusting rod 22 passes through and is screwed into the threaded hole. When it is necessary to move the limiting plate 21, turning the adjusting rod 22 can drive the moving plate to move, which can achieve fine adjustment. In addition, the thread has self-locking properties. When the adjusting rod 22 is stopped, the limiting plate 21 can be stably stopped at the current position without the need for additional braking or locking devices, thus having good stability.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, the second plate 13 is also provided with an observation hole 131, which extends along the axis of the adjusting rod 22. The observation hole 131 allows observation of the specific position of the limiting plate 21, facilitating the operator's understanding of the device's status. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, two observation holes 131 are provided, located on opposite sides of the adjusting rod 22; in other embodiments, the number of observation holes 131 can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0043] Optionally, an operating part 221 is provided at the end of the adjusting rod 22 away from the limiting plate 21 to facilitate the operator to turn the adjusting rod 22. Exemplarily, the adjusting rod 22 is a conventional hexagonal threaded rod in the prior art.

[0044] Furthermore, the operating part 221 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Specifically, the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip pad, such as a rubber pad, provided on the outer side of the operating part 221; or, the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip protrusion provided on the outer side of the operating part 221. The anti-slip protrusion can be dot-shaped protrusions or textured protrusions of any shape. Its function is to increase the contact friction between the operator's hand and the operating part 221, thereby improving the stability of the operator's grip on the operating part 221. The specific form is similar to existing technology, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations, as long as it can increase friction.

[0045] Optionally, the limiting plate 21 has two abutment plates 211 protruding from the side facing the first plate 12. The two abutment plates 211 are vertically spaced on the upper and lower sides of the limiting plate 21. The limiting plate 21 and the two abutment plates 211 form a limiting groove 212. The pressure arm is placed in the limiting groove 212, and the upper and lower sides of the pressure arm abut against the two abutment plates 211 one by one. Before and during the installation of the screw, the limiting action of the two abutment plates 211 ensures that the pressure arm always remains horizontal.

[0046] In practical use, move the adjusting rod 22 so that the side of the pressure arm away from the first plate 12 leaves a certain gap with the bottom wall of the limiting groove 212. However, the gap should not be too large, and it is necessary to ensure that the upper and lower sides of the pressure arm abut against the two abutment plates 211 respectively. During the installation of the screws, the pressure arm can be gradually moved away from and disengaged from the limiting groove 212. After installation, move the adjusting rod 22 in the opposite direction to remove the device.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, guide grooves 214 are provided at both ends of the limiting plate 21. During the installation of the pressure arm, the screw can be avoided, and the screw can also provide a certain guiding effect.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the abutment plate 211 has a groove 213 that extends along the direction close to the limiting plate 21. The operator can observe the specific position of the pressure arm through the groove 213 to ensure that the abutment plate 211 can accurately limit the pressure arm.

[0049] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The adjusting assembly 2 also includes a guide rod 23, which is arranged parallel to the adjusting rod 22. A through hole is provided on the second plate 13, and the guide rod 23 is fixed to the limiting plate 21 and passes through the through hole. This arrangement ensures the accuracy of the moving plate's direction of movement relative to the supporting plate 11, preventing skewing.

[0050] Furthermore, an anti-slip part 231 is provided at the end of the guide rod 23 away from the limiting plate 21 to prevent the guide rod 23 from slipping off the second plate 13. Specifically, the end of the guide rod 23 away from the limiting plate 21 is provided with partial threads, and the anti-slip part 231 is a bolt. The bolt is screwed onto the end of the guide rod 23. The material is simple and readily available, has good economic efficiency, and is convenient and quick to assemble.

[0051] Optionally, multiple guide rods 23 and multiple through holes are provided, with each guide rod 23 corresponding to another through hole. The multiple guide rods 23 further improve the directional accuracy of the moving plate, effectively resist torque and bending moment, and prevent the moving plate from rotating. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, two guide rods 23 are provided, located on either side of the adjusting rod 22; in other embodiments, the number of guide rods 23 can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
