Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent production lines, and more specifically, to a production line with washing, filling and sealing functions. Background Technology

[0002] Automated filling production lines are commonly used for filling liquid products. These production lines typically include core units such as conveying mechanisms, filling mechanisms, and sealing mechanisms, which can realize automatic filling and sealing of liquid bottles, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing liquid bottle filling lines have relatively simple functions. Their core design focuses on indicators such as filling accuracy, sealing reliability, and production line speed. A commonly overlooked but crucial issue is that contaminants may already exist inside the liquid bottles before they are filled, such as dust, fibers, and particles introduced during production, storage, and transportation. Once these contaminants mix into the solution, they will directly lead to substandard product cleanliness. For pharmaceuticals, high-purity chemicals, or high-end cosmetics with strict sterility requirements, this will seriously affect product quality and may even cause safety issues.

[0004] To address this issue, the common industry practice is to pre-clean and dry the liquid bottles using separate cleaning equipment before they enter the filling line, and then transfer the clean bottles to the filling line for filling. This separate processing method has several drawbacks: 1. Cumbersome process and low production efficiency: Additional cleaning, drying and transfer steps are required, which disrupts the continuity of production and increases the overall production time and labor costs.

[0005] 2. High risk of secondary contamination: After cleaning, the liquid bottles are easily exposed to non-clean environments again during transportation and loading, facing the risk of secondary contamination, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the initial cleaning.

[0006] 3. Low level of automation and integration: The entire process cannot achieve seamless integration from "empty bottle cleaning" to "filling and packaging", making it difficult to build a highly automated intelligent production system. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a production line with washing, filling and sealing functions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome at least one of the defects (deficiencies) of the prior art described above, this utility model provides a production line with washing, filling and sealing functions.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a production line with washing, filling and sealing functions, including a frame, a bottle washing mechanism, a clamp transfer mechanism, a filling mechanism, a filling conveyor line, a cap removal device and a cap welding mechanism; The bottle washing mechanism is located at the inlet end of the frame, and the clamp transfer mechanism is located in the middle of the frame. The clamp transfer mechanism clamps the liquid bottles on the bottle washing mechanism and transfers them to the filling conveyor line. The filling mechanism is located above the filling conveyor line. When the liquid bottle moves into place, the filling mechanism fills the liquid bottle with solution. The cap welding mechanism is located behind the filling mechanism. When the filling mechanism finishes filling, the cap welding mechanism is pressed onto the liquid bottle. After the cap-removing device picks up the bottle cap, it moves the cap to the cap-welding mechanism. The cap-welding mechanism simultaneously heats the top of the liquid bottle and the bottom of the cap. The cap-removing device then presses the cap onto the liquid bottle. The bottle washing mechanism cleans the liquid bottle with plasma air, thus cleaning it thoroughly. The cleaned liquid bottle is then transferred to the filling conveyor line via a clamping transfer mechanism. After the filling mechanism fills the liquid, the cap-welding mechanism presses the cap onto the liquid bottle, completing the cleaning, filling, and sealing of the liquid bottle.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottle washing mechanism includes a support frame, a bottle clamp, a linear guide rail, a sliding pad, a cylinder, an ion fan, and an ion air outlet pipe; The linear guide rail is arranged on both sides of the support frame, the sliding pad is slidably arranged on the linear guide rail, and the cylinder is connected to the sliding pad. The bottle clamp is mounted on the sliding pad block; The ion air outlet pipe is mounted on the support frame, and the ion blower is connected to the ion air outlet pipe. In practical applications, the liquid bottle can be manually placed in the ion air outlet pipe to achieve cleaning. After the liquid bottle is cleaned, the workers place the liquid bottle in the bottle clamp. When the liquid bottle is moved into place, the clamp transfer mechanism picks up the liquid bottle from the bottle washing mechanism and transfers it to the filling conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, there is at least one bottle clamp. In practical applications, the number of bottle clamps can be set as needed, and all of these are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripper transfer mechanism includes a robot gripper base, a robot gripper arm, a connecting plate, a robot gripper jaw, and a gripper controller; The robot gripper base is located in the middle of the frame, and the robot gripper arm is connected to the robot gripper base; The connecting plate is mounted on the robot gripper arm, and the robot gripper is mounted on the connecting plate in an openable and closable manner via a gripper controller. The robot gripper arm can control the direction of liquid bottle transfer, while the robot gripper and gripper controller can be used to clamp the liquid bottle, thereby transferring the liquid bottle.

[0012] Furthermore, the filling mechanism includes a filling support frame, a stainless steel filling pipe, a filling dispensing cylinder, a connecting pipe, a filling head, a control switch, and a position sensor for detecting the liquid bottle. The filling support frame is positioned above the filling conveyor line; The filling and dispensing cylinder is mounted on the filling support frame. The stainless steel filling pipe and connecting pipe are respectively connected to the filling and dispensing cylinder. The filling head is connected to the connecting pipe. The control switch is mounted on the filling head. The liquid bottle's position sensor senses the position of the liquid bottle, thereby controlling the control switch to facilitate filling the liquid bottle.

[0013] Furthermore, there is at least one filling head, and the number of filling heads matches the number of connecting tubes. In practical applications, the number of filling heads can be set as needed.

[0014] Furthermore, the welding cover mechanism includes a welding cover frame, a heating plate, and a heating plate telescopic actuator; The cap welding frame is set on the frame behind the filling mechanism. The heating plate is movably set on the cap welding frame by means of a heating plate telescopic driver. The heating plate is moved by means of a heating plate telescopic driver, so that the heating plate can heat the liquid bottle and the cap and then press the cap onto the liquid bottle.

[0015] Furthermore, the cap-removing device is a cap-removing clamp arm, which clamps the bottle cap to facilitate fixing the bottle cap to the liquid bottle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are: The production line with washing, filling and sealing functions disclosed in this utility model can clean liquid bottles with plasma air through a bottle washing mechanism, thereby cleaning the liquid bottles. After cleaning, the liquid bottles are transferred to the filling conveyor line through a clamping transfer mechanism. After the filling mechanism fills the liquid, the cap welding mechanism presses the cap onto the liquid bottle, thus completing the cleaning, filling and sealing of the liquid bottle.
