[0002] Filling machines are a type of packaging machine. From the perspective of packaging materials, they can be divided into liquid filling machines, paste filling machines, and powder filling machines. Automatic filling machines achieve autonomous filling through a PLC control system, which not only has a fast filling speed but also high filling accuracy.

[0003] When a filling machine is working, the delivery pump continuously feeds material into the filling head. However, due to their inherent structure, the filling head and its accompanying delivery pump have narrow channels that are difficult to clean. For extended periods of non-use or when filling a different material, the filling head needs to be disassembled and cleaned, which is challenging. Therefore, we propose a health supplement filling production equipment with a built-in CIP cleaning function. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a health supplement filling production equipment with built-in CIP cleaning function, including a tank 1, with multiple support legs 16 at the bottom of the tank 1. The bottom of the tank 1 is connected to the filling head 12 through a supplement conveying mechanism, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the ointment delivery mechanism includes an ointment delivery pump 15. The ointment delivery pump 15 is a fluid pump capable of forward and reverse rotation, such as a gear pump or impeller pump. The inlet of the ointment delivery pump 15 is connected to the bottom of the tank 1 via a pipe, and the outlet of the ointment delivery pump 15 is connected to the inlet of the first control valve 13 via a pipe. The outlet of the first control valve 13 is detachably connected to the filling head 12, that is, the top of the filling head 12 is threaded onto the outlet of the first control valve 13. When the ointment delivery pump 15 moves, it continuously delivers the ointment from the tank 1 into the first control valve 13, and then it flows out from the bottom of the filling head 12. The first control valve 13 is a flow control valve, which can effectively monitor the flow rate of the ointment. In order to enable the filling head 12 to move up and down, the filling head 12 is mounted on the lifting mechanism, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting base 10, a first control valve 13 detachably mounted on the mounting base 10, at least one guide shaft 9 and a telescopic mechanism 19 vertically mounted on the top of the mounting base 10, the telescopic mechanism 19 being a cylinder, the telescopic mechanism 19 being mounted on the top of the bracket 11, and a guide seat movably sleeved on the guide shaft 9, the guide seat being connected to the bracket 11. Figure 1As shown, the bracket 11 is U-shaped or L-shaped. In actual use, the bracket 11 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt. At this time, the filling head 12 is located above the filling bottle. Under the drive of the telescopic mechanism 19, it can achieve intermittent lifting and lowering, so as to fill the filling bottles on the conveyor belt one by one.

[0024] Although the filling head 12 described above can fill bottles one by one, it is not convenient to clean the filling head 12 and the inside of the tank 1. In order to facilitate cleaning, this application is also equipped with a CIP cleaning machine 4. The CIP cleaning machine 4 is the prior art and no technical changes have been made. The actual CIP cleaning machine 4 includes a return pipe 3 and a liquid outlet pipe 7. The return pipe 3 is used to recover the cleaning liquid into each storage tank, while the liquid outlet pipe 7 is used to discharge the cleaning liquid in each storage tank. The cleaning liquid in the storage tank includes alkaline cleaning liquid, acidic cleaning liquid and clean water. When in use, the acidic and alkaline cleaning liquid cleans the inside of the tank 1, and then it is rinsed with clean water. One end of the CIP cleaning machine 4 is equipped with a first delivery pump 5, a second delivery pump 6, and a third delivery pump 8. Each of the three pumps has its own purpose, which will be explained below. First, the second transfer pump 6 is used to clean the inside of the tank 1. The outlet of the second transfer pump 6 is connected to the top of the tank 1 through a pipe, and the inlet of the second transfer pump 6 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 7 through a pipe. The second transfer pump 6 delivers the cleaning fluid from the CIP cleaning machine 4 into the tank 1. Figure 4 As shown, the tank 1 has a detachable top cover connected to it by a latch. A support pipe 23 is mounted on the top cover. The top of the support pipe 23 is connected to a pipe on the outlet of the second delivery pump 6. The bottom of the support pipe 23 is located inside the tank 1 and is connected to at least one nozzle 21. The nozzle 21 sprays towards various points inside the tank 1. When the second delivery pump 6 is turned on, cleaning fluid is sprayed from the nozzle 21. The nozzle 21 is spherical and has several spray holes on its surface, allowing the rapidly flowing cleaning fluid to wash over various surfaces inside the tank 1. The cleaning fluid impacting the inner wall also splashes, so the inner wall of the tank 1 is covered with cleaning fluid. Figure 4 As shown, a fourth control valve 25 is also provided on the pipeline between the second delivery pump 6 and the tank 1; Secondly, the third transfer pump 8 is used to clean the filling head 12 and the paste conveying mechanism. The inlet of the third transfer pump 8 is connected to the outlet pipe 7 through a pipe, and the outlet of the third transfer pump 8 is connected to the connector 14 through a pipe. This pipe is a flexible hose, which allows the connector 14 to move freely. During cleaning, the connector 14 can be fitted under the filling head 12 and the two can be detachably connected. That is, the connector 14 is threaded onto the filling head 12. In this way, the cleaning liquid can be introduced from the filling head 12 and the paste conveying mechanism into the inlet tank 1. At this time, the cleaning liquid can flow in the filling head 12 and the paste conveying pump 15, thereby cleaning the residue in the filling head 12 and the paste conveying pump 15 (there is a large gap inside the paste conveying pump 15 to allow the cleaning liquid to pass through smoothly, or the paste conveying pump 15 can be reversed to accelerate the flow of the cleaning liquid). A third control valve 24 is provided on the pipe between the third transfer pump 8 and the connector 14.

[0025] Finally, a drain device is provided at the bottom of the tank 1. The drain device includes a first delivery pump 5. The inlet of the first delivery pump 5 is connected to the bottom of the tank 1 through a pipe. A second control valve 20 is provided on the pipe. The outlet of the first delivery pump 5 discharges the cleaning liquid through the pipe, thereby quickly discharging the cleaning liquid in the tank 1. Because the CIP cleaning machine 4 has a built-in recovery mechanism, the outlet of the first delivery pump 5 can be connected to the return pipe 3 through a pipeline, allowing the cleaning fluid to flow back into the CIP cleaning machine 4. In actual operation, the cleaning fluid in the tank 1 can be discharged or recovered.

[0026] It should be noted that during actual operation, the cleaning solution must completely cover the original ointment level inside tank 1. This is necessary to ensure that the cleaning solution thoroughly removes any residue inside tank 1. To accelerate the cleaning process, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one magnetic stirrer 18 is installed on the bottom side of the tank 1. The magnetic stirrer 18 can quickly agitate the cleaning solution and accelerate the cleaning speed.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, a control cabinet 22 is also included. The control cabinet 22 contains a controller, which is a PLC control system. PLC control systems are widely used in the field of intelligent control. During operation, the controller is electrically connected to the CIP cleaning machine 4, the first delivery pump 5, the second delivery pump 6, the third delivery pump 8, the first control valve 13, the paste delivery pump 15, the magnetic stirrer 18, the telescopic mechanism 19, the second control valve 20, and the fourth control valve 25. If the second control valve 20, the third control valve 24, and the fourth control valve 25 are not electrically controlled valves, they do not need to be connected to the controller, but they still require manual operation. To better monitor the operations inside tank 1, a level gauge 2 is installed on the upper side of tank 1. Tank 1 is made of stainless steel, and level gauge 2 is an ultrasonic level gauge. When adding cleaning agents or ointments, the liquid level of both should be at level gauge 2.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, further optimizations can be made, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a feeding port 17 is also provided on the top cover. The feeding port 17 is sealed by a detachable sealing cap. The two are connected by a latch. In actual operation, the ointment to be filled is added into the tank 1 through the feeding port 17.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization is possible. A heating device and a temperature sensor are provided on the side of the tank 1 and are electrically connected to the control. The heating device is used to heat the internal temperature of the tank 1, and the temperature is controlled within a preset range by the temperature sensor.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, it should be further explained that the cleaning fluid and water sprayed from nozzle 21 will be sprayed onto the top cover and sealing cap, and then accumulate in the tank. Because the ointment is located at level gauge 2 and will not come into contact with the top cover and sealing cap, any small amount of residue remaining on the top cover and sealing cap can be washed away by rinsing.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
