[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a telescopic steam sterilization nozzle and a filling machine containing the nozzle include a fixed frame 1 and a telescopic frame assembly 2. The telescopic frame assembly 2 is connected and installed in the middle of the fixed frame 1, and a clamping frame 3 is connected and installed at the end of the telescopic frame assembly 2 away from the fixed frame 1. The nozzle component 4 is vertically clamped and installed at the end of the clamping frame 3 away from the telescopic frame assembly 2. The telescopic frame assembly 2 includes a stabilizing frame 201, an electric telescopic rod 202, an electric joint 203, and an electric rotating seat 204. The electric telescopic rod 202 is installed through both ends of the stabilizing frame 201, and an electric joint 203 is installed at both ends of the electric telescopic rod 202. The electric rotating seat 204 is connected and installed at the end of the electric joint 203 away from the electric telescopic rod 202. The coordinated action of the electric telescopic rod 202, electric joint 203, and electric rotary seat 204 enables precise control of the movement trajectory of the nozzle component 4 along the Y and Z axes, allowing for flexible adjustments at multiple angles and directions. This design allows the nozzle to quickly adapt to the filling needs of containers of different heights and diameters, greatly expanding the applicability of the equipment. In actual operation, users only need to input parameters through the control system to achieve automated nozzle positioning without manual adjustment, effectively reducing operational difficulty and labor intensity. At the same time, compared with traditional mechanical structures, the electric drive method has higher response speed and positioning accuracy, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of each filling operation, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the fixing frame 1 comprises a main frame body 101, supporting angle plates 102 and fixing holes 103. The supporting angle plates 102 are vertically symmetrically and horizontally arranged at both left and right ends of the inner side of the main frame body 101, and the fixing holes 103 are horizontally formed symmetrically on the left and right of the surface of one side of the main frame body 101 away from the telescopic frame group 2. The main frame body 101 and the supporting angle plates 102 are connected by welding, the main frame body 101 is arranged in a "冂"-shaped structure, and hole structures for bolt installation and fixation are formed at the joints between the four diagonal positions of the electric rotating base 204 and the inner surface of the main frame body 101. The stabilizing frame 201 and the electric telescopic rod 202 are connected in an "H"-shaped structure, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 202 is connected and combined with the side edge of the stabilizing base 301 through a group of electric rotating bases 204, and hole structures for bolt installation and fixation are formed at the joints between the four diagonal positions of the stabilizing base 301 and the side surface of the stabilizing base 301. By virtue of the "冂"-shaped structure of the main frame body 101 and the symmetrical arrangement of the supporting angle plates 102, the vibration and stress generated by the telescopic frame group 2 can be uniformly dispersed during the operation of the filling machine, which prevents the main frame body 101 from deforming due to excessive local force and ensures the stability of the equipment during long-term use. Meanwhile, the fixing holes 103 formed on the main frame body 101 allow various installation methods such as wall fixing or equipment platform fixing to be selected according to the actual installation environment, and this diversified installation design enables the equipment to flexibly adapt to different production scenarios.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the clamping frame 3 comprises a stabilizing base 301, a first fixed ring seat 302, a second fixed ring seat 303, quick-release bolts 304 and anti-slip pads 305. The front side of the stabilizing base 301 is connected with the first fixed ring seat 302, the side of the first fixed ring seat 302 away from the stabilizing base 301 is butted with the second fixed ring seat 303, the quick-release bolts 304 are threadedly installed at both left and right ends of the joint between the first fixed ring seat 302 and the second fixed ring seat 303, and the anti-slip pads 305 are attached to the inner diameter surfaces of the first fixed ring seat 302 and the second fixed ring seat 303. By virtue of the butt-joint design of the first fixed ring seat 302 and the second fixed ring seat 303, in combination with the rapid locking and releasing function of the quick-release bolts 304, the replacement process of the nozzle member 4 is extremely simplified. When it is necessary to replace nozzles of different types to meet the filling requirements of different materials, an operator only needs to loosen the quick-release bolts 304 to quickly separate the first fixed ring seat 302 from the second fixed ring seat 303, remove the original nozzle member 4, quickly install a new nozzle member 4, and then lock the quick-release bolts 304 to complete the replacement.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 5As shown, the nozzle component 4 includes a conveying hose 401, a sterilization nozzle body 402, and an external connector 403. One end of the conveying hose 401 is connected to the sterilization nozzle body 402, and the other end of the conveying hose 401 away from the sterilization nozzle body 402 is fixedly installed with the external connector 403. The conveying hose 401 adopts an accordion tube structure, and the external connector 403 and the conveying hose 401 are integrated. The conveying hose 401 and the sterilization nozzle body 402 are connected by a quick connector structure. The conveying hose 401 is made of polyurethane reinforced hose material. Utilizing the accordion tube structure of the conveying hose 401, it can bend freely during the extension and retraction process and is not easily damaged. This characteristic allows the conveying hose 401 to flexibly adapt to various bending paths when the nozzle component 4 moves in three-dimensional space with the telescopic frame assembly 2, without being damaged due to excessive bending or twisting, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of material conveying.

[0022] Through the coordinated action of the fixed frame 1, the telescopic frame assembly 2, the clamping frame 3, and the nozzle component 4, this telescopic steam sterilization nozzle and the filling machine containing it exhibit superior performance. In practical applications, users only need to connect the external connector 403 to the steam supply source to start the equipment for filling operations. During the filling process, the control system precisely controls the movement of the electric telescopic rod 202, the electric joint 203, and the electric rotary seat 204 according to a preset program, ensuring that the sterilization nozzle body 402 is accurately aligned with the container opening, achieving efficient and precise filling. Simultaneously, the polyurethane-reinforced hose material of the delivery hose 401 ensures... Its pressure resistance and corrosion resistance under high-pressure steam environment make material conveying more stable and reliable. In addition, the equipment is easy to operate and maintain. Users can easily adjust the position of the nozzle and filling parameters through the control system to adapt to the filling needs of different container sizes. When it is necessary to replace the nozzle component 4, it can be quickly disassembled and assembled by using the quick-release bolt 304, which greatly improves the flexibility and maintenance efficiency of the equipment. In summary, the telescopic steam sterilization nozzle and the filling machine containing the nozzle provide an efficient, accurate and stable solution for the modern filling industry with its unique design and excellent performance.

[0023] In summary, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when using the telescopic steam sterilization nozzle and the filling machine containing the nozzle, firstly, the fixing frame 1 is installed through the fixing hole 103 on the main frame 101. Depending on the actual installation environment, the fixing frame 1 can be fixed to the wall or the equipment platform to ensure that the fixing frame 1 remains stable during operation. Next, by setting the parameters of the electric telescopic rod 202, electric joint 203 and electric rotary seat 204 through the control system, the movement trajectory of the telescopic frame assembly 2 is precisely controlled by their synergistic effect, so that the nozzle component 4 can be flexibly adjusted in multiple angles and directions in the Y and Z axes according to the filling requirements of containers of different heights and diameters. After adjusting the position of the nozzle component 4, connect the external connector 403 at the end of the delivery hose 401 away from the sterilization nozzle body 402 to the material supply source, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection. When the nozzle component 4 needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to loosen the quick-release bolt 304 at the connection between the first fixing ring seat 302 and the second fixing ring seat 303 on the clamping frame 3 to quickly separate the first fixing ring seat 302 and the second fixing ring seat 303, remove the original nozzle component 4, and then quickly install the new nozzle component 4 according to the actual filling requirements, and then tighten the quick-release bolt 304 to complete the replacement. Throughout the filling process, the bellows structure of the 401 delivery hose allows for free bending and is not easily damaged. Combined with the polyurethane-reinforced hose material, it ensures the continuity and stability of material delivery, effectively avoiding filling interruptions or poor sterilization effects caused by hose problems, thus achieving efficient and accurate filling operations.
