Abstract

A cover sterilizing mechanism for bottle filling device includes a sterilizing chamber (II) in which a cover sliding passage (102) is arranged. A cover blocking mechanism which will periodically hold the cover (94) to stay on the sliding passage (102) for a certain time, and multiple groups of nozzles (62) corresponding to the place in which the cover (94) is held on the sliding passage(102) are also arranged in the sterilizing chamber (II). The cover sterilizing device can uniform the sterilizing time of each cover, conduce to install covers orderly and improve efficiency of the bottle filling device.

Claims

1. A cap sterilizing mechanism for a linear type bottle filling device, characterized in that it comprises a sterilizing chamber, in which a chamber body is disposed with a row of cap slideways extending downwards, a cap blocking mechanism is disposed to periodically block and hold caps standing in sequence on the cap slideways for a certain time, a plurality groups of nozzles are also disposed to face a section of the cap slideways where the caps are held still.

2. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 1, wherein in the cap blocking mechanism is disposed with swingable cap blocking claws, which function to block and hold the caps standing on the cap slideways.

3. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 2, wherein at least two rows of the swingable cap blocking claws are disposed in the cap sliding direction within the cap blocking mechanism.

4. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 2, wherein the swinging of the cap blocking claws coincides with the transportation of the bottles which are transported by the bottle filling device to capping positions.

5. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 2, wherein groove bottom of the cap slideways is hollowed.

6. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 1, wherein the cap slideways are disposed with sections extending vertically downwards, such sections are further disposed with said cap blocking mechanism.

7. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 6, wherein said cap blocking mechanism makes said sections extending vertically downwards have at least two parking sections in the cap sliding direction.

8. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 1, wherein said nozzles include a nozzle connecting sterilizing agent pipes and a nozzle connecting sterilized hot air ducts, in which the nozzle connecting the sterilizing agent pipes is located above the nozzle connecting the sterilized hot air ducts.

9. The cap sterilizing mechanism for the linear type bottle filling device according to claim 1, wherein upper ends of said cap slideways are connected to the cap outlet passages of cap distributing apparatuses one to one;
