Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and are not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is not limited by the following description of the embodiments, but only by the scope of the claims, and includes all modifications having the same meaning as and within the scope of the claims.

[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a filling device for a three-in-one beverage processing equipment.

[0021] like Figure 1 The schematic diagram shown is a front view of an embodiment of a filling device for a three-in-one beverage processing equipment according to the present invention. It includes a frame 1, a storage box 2, a filling component 3, and a bottle clamping component 4 arranged from top to bottom on the frame 1. It also includes a first lifting component 5 for adjusting the height of the bottle clamping component 4 and a second lifting component 6 for adjusting the height of the filling component 3, which are arranged on the frame 1.

[0022] The storage tank 2 is located on the top of the frame 1. The storage tank 2 is used to hold the three-in-one beverage and has a feed inlet 7 for easy beverage loading. The filling assembly 3 is located below the storage tank 2. In this embodiment, there are six filling assemblies 3, and all six filling assemblies 3 are connected to the storage tank 2.

[0023] The bottle clamping assembly 4 is used to clamp multiple empty filling bottles. The bottle clamping assembly 4 clamps multiple empty filling bottles through multiple clamping parts. The bottle clamping assembly 4 is a commonly used device in filling equipment. The bottle clamping assembly 4 of this application adopts the prior art, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this application, there are two first lifting components 5, and the bottle-holding component 4 is disposed between the two first lifting components 5. Each first lifting component 5 includes a vertical support column 8 fixed to the frame 1, with serrated portions 9 provided along its height. The support column 8 passes downward through a lifting box 10, and the bottle-holding component 4 is connected between the two lifting boxes 10. A transmission assembly is disposed within the lifting box 10, including a first shaft 11 and a second shaft 12 rotatably connected to the side wall of the lifting box 10 and arranged horizontally. One end of the first shaft 11 is connected to a first drive unit; in this embodiment, the first drive unit is a rotating handwheel 13. One end of the first shaft 11 extends out of the lifting box 10 and is fixedly connected to the rotating handwheel 13. A first gear 14 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 11, and a second gear 15 and a third gear 16 are fixedly connected to the second shaft 12. The first gear 14 and the second gear 15 mesh, and the third gear 16 meshes with the serrated portion 9 on the support column 8.

[0025] When the two handwheels 13 are rotated in the forward or reverse direction, each handwheel 13 sequentially drives the corresponding first gear 14, second gear 15, and third gear 16 to rotate. The two third gears 16 mesh with the serrated parts 9 of the two support columns 8. Under the guidance of the two serrated parts 9, the transmission component drives the lifting box 10 to move up and down along the support column 8, and then drives the bottle clamping component 4 to move up and down, thereby adapting to filling bottles of different heights. Compared with the existing technology that uses manual adjustment of the height of the bottle clamping component 4, the height adjustment of the bottle clamping component 4 by using the multi-stage gears of the first lifting component 5 is more precise and convenient.

[0026] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second lifting assembly 6 includes a lifting cylinder 17, a lifting frame 18, and a guide assembly. The lifting cylinder 17 is fixed to the frame 1, and its upper telescopic end is connected to the lifting frame 18. Multiple filling heads 19 are fixed to the lifting frame 18; in this embodiment, six filling heads 19 are used. The lifting frame 18 includes a first fixed frame 20 and a second fixed frame 21 arranged horizontally in a front-to-rear direction. The first fixed frame 20 is connected to the second fixed frame 21 via a connecting frame 22. In this embodiment, both the first fixed frame 20 and the second fixed frame 21 are tubular structures with a rectangular cross-section. The six filling heads 19 are fixed to the first fixed frame 20. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 17 is fixed to the second fixed frame 21.

[0027] The guide assembly includes multiple guide sleeves 23 fixed on the second fixed frame 21 and multiple guide rods 24 fixed on the frame 1. In this embodiment, there are two guide sleeves 23 and two guide rods 24. The two guide sleeves 23 are located on the left and right sides of the second fixed frame 21, and the two guide rods 24 are located on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The two guide rods 24 slide downward through the two guide sleeves 23.

[0028] The lifting cylinder 17 drives the lifting frame 18 and the six filling heads 19 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the filling heads 19. The first lifting component 5 and the second lifting component 6 work together to further accommodate filling heads 19 of different heights, making the height adjustment of the bottle clamping component 4 more precise.

[0029] By incorporating a guide assembly, the movement of the lifting frame 18 becomes more precise and stable. By configuring the lifting frame 18 with two spaced-ahead first fixed frames 20 and second fixed frames 21, the lifting cylinder 17 and guide rod 24 are kept away from the filling head 19, preventing beverage spillage onto the lifting cylinder 17 and guide rod 24.

[0030] Six filling heads 19 are connected to six filling assemblies 3, with the six filling assemblies 3 corresponding one-to-one with the six filling heads 19. Each filling assembly 3 is used to pour the beverage from the storage tank 2 into the corresponding filling head 19. (Reference) Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the filling assembly 3 includes an arc-shaped conduit 25 with one end connected to the storage tank 2, and the other end connected to a connecting pipe 26. The upper and lower ends of the connecting pipe 26 are connected to the lower end of the conveying pipe 27 and the upper end of the storage pipe 28, respectively. The other end of the conveying pipe 27 is connected to the filling head 19. A second driving part is provided at the bottom of the storage pipe 28 to push the beverage inside the storage pipe 28 to the filling head 19. In this embodiment, the second driving part is a pushing cylinder 29. The bottom cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 29 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage pipe 28, and a sealing seat 30 is provided between the cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 29 and the storage pipe 28. The sealing seat 30 can not only fix the bottom of the storage pipe 28 on the pushing cylinder 29, but also seal the bottom of the storage pipe 28 to prevent beverage leakage.

[0031] A piston seat 31 is fixed to the upper telescopic rod end of the push cylinder 29. The piston seat 31 fits against the inner wall of the storage tube 28 and slides up and down along the inner wall. The push cylinder 29 drives the piston seat 31 to move upward, squeezing the beverage in the storage tube 28 into the connecting tube 26 and the conveying tube 27, and finally squeezing it out of the filling head 19. By controlling the extension and retraction distance of the push cylinder 29, the amount of beverage dispensed from the filling head 19 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving quantitative filling.

[0032] The aforementioned arc-shaped conduit 25 is equipped with a first control valve 32, which is used to control whether the beverage in the storage tank 2 flows into the connecting pipe 26 and the storage pipe 28. The top of the connecting pipe 26 is equipped with a second control valve 33, which is used to control whether the beverage in the connecting pipe 26 and the storage pipe 28 flows into the filling head 19.

[0033] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include undisclosed common knowledge or customary techniques in the art.
