[0015] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0017] Secondly, the term "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0018] Example Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an aseptic filling machine, including, The support mechanism 100 includes a support frame 101, a support column 102 disposed on the side wall of the support frame 101, a mounting plate 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support column 102, a fixing plate 104 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101, a connecting plate 105 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 104, a sterile cover 107 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101, and a lifting assembly 106 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 101. The power mechanism 200 includes a transmission assembly 201 fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 103, a filling assembly 202 bolted to the side wall of the lifting assembly 106, a capping assembly 203 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 105, a rotating interceptor 204 disposed on the side wall of the transmission assembly 201, a mounting rod 205 fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission assembly 201, a clamping rod 206 fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting rod 205, and a beverage bottle 207 placed on the surface of the transmission assembly 201.

[0019] Specifically, the filling assembly 202 includes a mounting box 202a bolted to the side wall of the lifting assembly 106, a movable rod 202b movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 202a, a connecting block 202c fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable rod 202b, a filling tube 202d fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting block 202c, a spring 202e disposed on the surface of the filling tube 202d, and a power valve 202f fixedly connected to the bottom end of the filling tube 202d.

[0020] The control system issues a filling command, which drives the filling tube 202d downward via the movable rod 202b. At the same time, the spring 202e buffers the pressure, causing the power valve 202f at the bottom of the filling tube 202d to seal against the bottle neck of the beverage bottle 207. Thus, the power valve 202f opens, and the aseptic beverage is injected into the beverage bottle 207 through the filling tube 202d. When the preset filling volume is reached, the power valve 202f closes, and the movable rod 202b drives the filling tube 202d to return to its original position, completing the single-bottle filling.

[0021] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 106 includes a support plate 106a fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 101, and a screw 106b threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 106a. The lifting assembly 106 also includes a rotation adjustment 106c fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 106b, and a connecting rod 106d threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 106b.

[0022] Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism 106c of the beverage bottle 207 drives the screw 106b to rotate, while the screw 106b drives the connecting rod 106d and the filling assembly 202 to move up and down, adjusting the bottom of the filling tube 202d to a height that matches the bottle opening.

[0023] Preferably, the transmission assembly 201 includes a drive shaft 201a rotatably connected to the side wall of the support column 102, a driven shaft 201b rotatably connected to the side wall of the support column 102, and a transmission belt 201c movably connected to the surface of the drive shaft 201a.

[0024] The drive motor of the transmission component 201 is started, and the drive shaft 201a drives the transmission belt 201c and the driven shaft 201b to rotate synchronously. As a result, the beverage bottle 207 moves towards the filling area with the transmission belt 201c. The conveying distance of the beverage bottle 207 is controlled by the intermittent operation of the rotary interceptor 204. When a single beverage bottle 207 moves directly below the filling tube 202d, the transmission component 201 stops, and the clamping rod 206 clamps and fixes the beverage bottle 207 laterally, completing the positioning before filling.

[0025] It should be noted that the capping assembly 203 includes a cap placement box 203a fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 105, and a motor 203b adapted to be installed on the side wall of the cap placement box 203a. The capping assembly 203 also includes a cap outlet 203c opened at the bottom of the cap placement box 203a, and a cap slide rail 203d fixedly connected to the bottom of the cap outlet 203c. The capping assembly 203 also includes a cap aligner 203e fixedly connected to the bottom of the cap slide rail 203d, and a cap sealing device 203f provided at the bottom of the support frame 101.

[0026] In this process, the filled beverage bottle 207 continues to move along the conveyor belt 201c to the bottom of the capping assembly 203. The screw feeding track is driven by the motor 203b in the cap placement box 203a, which feeds the caps sequentially through the cap outlet 203c into the cap slide rail 203d. The caps slide down the slide rail to the cap aligner 203e. At the same time, the cap aligner 203e detects the beverage bottle 207 and accurately puts the cap on the bottle mouth. The beverage bottle 207 is then transported to the cap sealing device 203f. The cap sealing device 203f rotates and applies pressure to seal the cap tightly to the bottle mouth. Finally, the capped beverage bottle 207 is output from the device along the conveyor belt 201c.

[0027] In use, the height adjustment 106c of the filling bottle 207 rotates to drive the screw 106b to rotate. At the same time, the screw 106b drives the connecting rod 106d and the filling assembly 202 to move up and down, adjusting the bottom end of the filling tube 202d to a height suitable for the bottle opening. Empty aseptic beverage bottles 207 are then placed sequentially into the positioning grooves of the conveyor belt 201c. The drive motor of the conveyor assembly 201 is then started, and the drive shaft 201a drives the conveyor belt 201c and the driven shaft 201b synchronously. The conveyor belt 201c rotates, causing the beverage bottle 207 to move towards the filling area. The intermittent operation of the rotary interceptor 204 controls the conveying distance of the beverage bottle 207. When a single beverage bottle 207 moves directly below the filling tube 202d, the conveyor assembly 201 pauses, and the clamping rod 206 laterally clamps and fixes the beverage bottle 207, completing the pre-filling positioning. The control system then issues a filling command, causing the filling tube 202d to move downwards via the movable rod 202b, while the spring 202e gently... The pressure causes the power valve 202f at the bottom of the filling tube 202d to seal against the neck of the beverage bottle 207; thus, the power valve 202f opens, and aseptic beverage is injected into the beverage bottle 207 through the filling tube 202d. When the preset filling volume is reached, the power valve 202f closes, and the movable rod 202b drives the filling tube 202d to return to its original position, completing the single-bottle filling. The filled beverage bottle 207 continues to move with the conveyor belt 201c to below the capping assembly 203, and is placed in the cap placement box 203a. Motor 203b drives the spiral feeding track, feeding bottle caps sequentially through bottle cap outlet 203c into bottle cap slide rail 203d. The bottle caps slide down the slide rail to bottle cap aligner 203e. At the same time, after detecting the beverage bottle 207, bottle cap aligner 203e accurately fits the bottle cap onto the bottle mouth. Then, the beverage bottle 207 is transferred to bottle cap sealing device 203f. Bottle cap sealing device 203f rotates and applies pressure to seal the bottle cap tightly to the bottle mouth. Finally, the sealed beverage bottle 207 is output from the device with conveyor belt 201c.

[0028] In summary, the lifting component 106 allows for adjustable filling height to accommodate beverage bottles 207 of different sizes. The screw and rotary adjustment 106c enable precise adjustment of the filling height. The conveyor belt 201c accommodates beverage bottles 207 of varying heights and diameters, eliminating the need for large-scale replacement of equipment components and reducing production changeover costs. The rotary interceptor and clamping rod 206 ensure precise bottle positioning. The power valve 202f enables quantitative and rapid filling. The conveyor component 201 facilitates automatic transport of the beverage bottles 207. The rotary interceptor 204 intercepts the bottles in an orderly manner, ensuring filling accuracy. The movable rod 202b, connecting block 202c, and filling tube 202d work together to achieve precise filling. The spring 202e ensures a smoother filling process. The capping component 203 enables automatic placement, alignment, and sealing of the caps, significantly improving production efficiency.
