[0002] In the canned food industry, processed materials need to be packaged in containers (such as cans or bottles). Commonly used filling equipment includes a filling turntable with several grooves evenly distributed on its outer circumference. Containers are placed in the grooves and conveyed while maintaining an equidistant distribution.

[0003] However, due to differences in material type or container specifications, the dimensions of the grooves on the outer circumference of the loading turntable will change accordingly. Traditional loading turntables have grooves that are cut and cannot be adjusted; the entire turntable must be replaced after disassembly, making operation cumbersome and impacting production. Furthermore, since most workshop workers are older women, the large surface area of ​​the loading turntable makes actual operation even more inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, improvements need to be made to the existing loading turntable to make it easy to assemble and disassemble without affecting production. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following is a summary description. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 15 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present invention.

[0021] First refer to Figures 12 to 15 The existing equipment shown is an integral structure and is connected to the drive shaft 250. When the container size changes, the entire turntable needs to be disassembled. The operation is not only cumbersome and laborious, but also affects the normal production progress. Moreover, after assembly, the equipment needs to be debugged to adapt to assembly line production, which has obvious drawbacks.

[0022] Example 1 The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a container limiting mechanism with the advantage of being modular and detachable. When producing products of different specifications, it can be quickly replaced according to the different sizes of the containers without affecting the normal production progress.

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 5 Specifically, it includes a positioning plate 110, which has a feeding port 114 extending through the thickness direction. Materials (such as various fruits, vegetables, or meats) pass through this feeding port 114 and fall into the container below (not shown in the figure). The reason why the positioning plate 110 is also set as a single detachable structure is to accommodate different containers. For example, if the central axis of the container's opening is not coaxial with the central axis of the container (i.e., irregularly shaped container), the positioning plate 110 can be replaced separately in this case.

[0024] There is also a limiting plate 120, which is spaced below the positioning plate 110 via a connector 130. The connector 130 is a vertical rod as shown in the figure. The positioning plate 110 and the limiting plate 120 are fastened together with bolts. Alternatively, the vertical rod can be threaded to the positioning plate 110. This allows the height of the positioning plate 110 to be quickly adjusted by rotating the vertical rod, thus accommodating containers of various heights.

[0025] A slot 121 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 120, arranged radially. As shown in the figure, the opening of this slot 121 faces outward, facilitating the entry and exit of the container. The container is limited within the slot 121 and located below the discharge port 114. That is, after the container enters the slot 121, its top opening is exactly below the discharge port 114. The slot 121 matches the diameter (or outline) of the container, ensuring that the container is properly limited within the slot 121 during operation, especially when the positioning plate 110 rotates, ensuring synchronous movement of the container and the slot 121. Different sizes of containers correspond to different sizes of slots 121. This allows for adaptation to different container sizes by either replacing the limiting plate 120 individually or by directly replacing the container's limiting mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment, for better material loading, the top surface of the positioning disk 110 is provided with a hopper 111 communicating with the discharge port 114. Additionally, a guide pipe 112 communicating with the discharge port 114 may also be provided on the bottom surface of the positioning disk 110. The path of material falling is restricted, preventing spillage and waste. The diameter of the guide pipe 112 needs to be smaller than the diameter of the container opening, and the bottom height of the guide pipe 112 should be as close as possible to the top height of the container opening to prevent spillage.

[0027] In addition, when filling the container with strip-shaped material, the material may not be completely filled, with some material protruding above the container opening and remaining in the feed tube 112. After filling, the container gradually moves away from the limiting plate 120. At this time, due to the mutual obstruction between the material and the feed tube 112, the container may tilt. To prevent this from happening, a notch 1121 is provided on one side of the peripheral wall of the feed tube 112, which corresponds to the opening direction of the slot 121. The notch 1121 is positioned in the direction of the container's output, so even if some material is not completely filled into the container (i.e., material leaks out of the container opening), the leaked material can move smoothly through the notch 1121, preventing the container from tipping over.

[0028] In order to quickly achieve the adaptation and connection between components, the limiting plate 120 is provided with a magnetic suction component 122 on the side away from the slot 121. The components are magnetically attracted and limited by magnetic attraction, which can be quickly assembled.

[0029] This embodiment enables a detachable connection between the limiting mechanism and the turntable, making assembly and disassembly more convenient and faster compared to traditional integral turntables.

[0030] Example 2 The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a loading turntable, which, when assembled with the limiting mechanism 100 of Embodiment 1, can evenly arrange the containers on the conveyor belt 310 one by one and run along a fixed trajectory, facilitating the filling equipment above to load materials.

[0031] refer to Figures 6 to 8 Specifically, it includes turntables (210, 220), which rotate around their center point under the drive of a driving component. Several container limiting mechanisms 100 are detachably connected to the outer periphery of the turntables (210, 220). These container limiting mechanisms 100 are evenly arranged to separate containers one by one at equal intervals. The detachable connection facilitates the replacement of different container limiting mechanisms 100, thereby adapting to containers of different sizes and enabling convenient and quick assembly. The opening direction of the slot 121 is arranged away from the center of the turntables (210, 220), i.e., the slot 121 opens outwards to allow containers to enter and exit.

[0032] refer to Figure 6 As can be seen, the turntables (210, 220) are detachably connected to the positioning plate 110 via fastening bolts or positioning pins 240. The positioning plate 110 is provided with a connecting hole 113 for insertion, which allows for quick assembly. The positioning plate 110 can sit on top of the turntable, using the positioning pins 240 to achieve lateral positioning, and its own weight to support it vertically. Moreover, there is no external force interfering in the vertical direction during operation, so it will not shift vertically.

[0033] As a further improvement of this utility model, the turntable includes an upper turntable 210 and a lower turntable 220 that are connected vertically and horizontally by a connecting member 230 (such as a vertical rod, the same as the vertical rod in Embodiment 1). The outer periphery of the lower turntable 220 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 221 adapted to accommodate the limiting plate 120. The limiting plate 120 can be adapted to be connected in the receiving grooves 221 to achieve lateral limiting.

[0034] A magnetic suction element 222 is provided on the side of the receiving groove 221 facing the limiting plate 120. This magnetic attraction creates a certain magnetic force constraint between the limiting plate 120 and the receiving groove 221, rather than a simple docking, preventing small-range shaking and further improving operational stability. Additionally, it facilitates a stable connection between the limiting plate 120 and the receiving groove 221 when the positioning plate 110 is disassembled and reassembled separately.

[0035] Example 3 This embodiment is to provide a loading device, which, when assembled with the loading turntable 200 of Embodiment 2, can realize the loading operation in the container conveying process.

[0036] refer to Figures 9 to 11 Specifically, it includes a worktable 300 with a conveyor belt 310, and a drive unit on the worktable 300 for driving the turntable to rotate. The conveyor belt 310 is used to linearly transport irregularly arranged containers. The conveyor belt 310 can be arranged along the diameter of the turntable as shown in the figure, but it should be noted that the center of the turntable has a drive shaft 250, requiring the conveyor belt 310 to be configured as a two-section structure with corresponding ends (see reference). Figure 11 (as shown), or the conveyor belt 310 can be arranged on one side of the center of the turntable.

[0037] The loading turntable 200 is located above the conveyor belt 310. The workbench 300 is also equipped with a lifting track 301 connected to one side of the conveyor belt 310, positioned below the slot 121 to lift containers. The lifting track 301 and the conveyor belt 310 are at the same height, allowing containers to be transported on the same plane. Furthermore, the lifting track 301 is arranged along the rotation trajectory of the slot 121, changing the container's transport from a straight line on the conveyor belt to an arc-shaped transport. The arc-shaped transport area is the working area for filling materials into the containers.

[0038] One side of the lifting track 301 is provided with a guide track 302 to confine the container within the slot 121, preventing the container from detaching from the slot 121 due to the influence of the rotation direction. Of course, the height of both the lifting track 301 and the guide track 302 can be adjusted to accommodate containers of different sizes.

[0039] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When containers have different specifications, only the limit mechanism 100 needs to be replaced, instead of replacing the entire turntable, saving a lot of operation time. Workshop workers can also quickly disassemble and assemble, and the operation is convenient.

[0040] The traditional integrated loading turntable has been improved into a modular structure that can be quickly disassembled. Assembly is achieved using bolts or pins, significantly saving operation time and improving convenience. Furthermore, different limit mechanisms can be replaced according to different container specifications, allowing a single production line to produce more product models and broadening its versatility.

[0041] This invention upgrades existing equipment, resulting in low modification costs, significant performance improvements, and greatly reduced impact of disassembly and assembly processes on production schedules.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
