the conveying unit continuously conveys the filling pieces with the state meeting the requirements to the packaging system along the first track for packaging, and the filling treatment is completed;
as shown in fig. 3, the structure of the conveying unit 1 includes a first conveying member 11 laid along a first track and a second conveying member 13 located directly below the first conveying member 11, the first conveying member 11 and the second conveying member 13 are arranged in parallel, a first cavity 12 is formed, the height of the first cavity is up to five centimeters greater than the height of the first container 5, an opening member 14 is arranged on the surface of the first conveying member 11, the opening member 14 is an opening member 14 at a position a in fig. 3, the opening member 14 includes a first state and a second state, a first notch is formed on the surface of the first conveying member 11 in the first state of the opening member 14, a filling piece which is not required in the state is transferred from the first conveying member 11 to the second conveying member 13 through the first notch, and the first notch on the surface of the first conveying member 11 is sealed in the second state of the opening member 14.
In the present invention, the "opening member" is a shape-changeable component provided on the surface of the first conveying member. When the opening member is in the first state, a first cutout is formed in the surface at the A position so that an unsatisfactory filling can be transferred from the first conveying member to the second conveying member through the cutout. When the opening member is in the second state, the first notch on the surface of the opening member is closed, so that the filling member meeting the requirements can continue to move along the first track to the packaging system for packaging.

Such a design is more advantageous for the arrangement and operation of the device for a space region of smaller space.
In the present invention, the "first cavity" is a cavity area formed by parallel arrangement between the first conveying member and the second conveying member. The height of the cavity region is at most five centimeters greater than the height of the first container. During the conveying process, the unsatisfactory filling parts are transferred to the second conveying member through the first notch of the opening member, and the satisfactory filling parts continue to move along the first track into the packaging system for packaging. Because the height of the first cavity is more than the height of the first container by at most five centimeters, the travel is shorter in the process of transferring the filling piece from the first track to the second conveying component, and therefore the filling piece which does not meet the requirements can be removed under the condition of not damaging the container, and the continuity and the stability of the filling process are ensured. Meanwhile, by adjusting the height and the size of the first cavity, the filling piece and the container with different sizes and types can be adapted, and the universality and the flexibility of the equipment are enhanced.

At this time, the detecting unit detects the unsatisfactory filling material in this state, determines that it is a breakage of the first container, and transfers it from the first track to the first conveying portion of the second conveying member through the opening member 14. The first conveying section conveys the filling member to a corresponding processing location, such as a waste disposal system.
On the other hand, if the first container 5 is not broken, but the filled medium capacity does not meet the standard during filling, then during filling the detection result shows that the filling of the filling element is not satisfactory, then the filling element is transferred from the first track to the second conveying element by the transfer action of the opening element 14 and is conveyed by the second conveying element to the corresponding processing position for processing.
In one embodiment, the unsatisfactory filling members include filling members with damaged appearance and filling members with an unsatisfactory filling medium, and the step of screening the unsatisfactory filling members includes:
in one embodiment, during the training process, the network will learn and identify those filler pieces that are visually damaged, those that are not in compliance with the specification, and those that are in compliance with the condition. This process will continue until the classification model can accurately identify these three types of filler;
preprocessing the collected sample data to ensure that the data has uniformity and comparability;
processing the sample data through a convolutional neural network, and training a classification model until the classification model can identify filling pieces with broken appearance, filling pieces with filled media which do not meet the specification and filling pieces with the state meeting the requirements;
wherein, the packing piece with damaged appearance is conveyed by the first conveying part, and the packing piece with medium which is not in accordance with the specification is conveyed by the second conveying part.
In an embodiment, the packaging system comprises a filling unit 3 arranged along the first track area, the structure of the filling unit 3 comprises a storage member for storing the sealing plug and a pressing member positioned right above the filling piece to be packaged, the storage member conveys the sealing plug right above the opening of the filling piece, and the pressing member presses the sealing piece positioned right above the opening of the filling piece in a direction approaching the filling piece;
in this embodiment the structure of the filling unit 3 comprises a storage member for storing the sealing plug and a pressing member located directly above the filling to be packaged, by means of which the automatic packaging and sealing of the filling is achieved.
Specifically, the filling members to be filled pass through the filling unit 3 in sequence under the conveyance of the conveying unit. When the filling member reaches the filling unit 3, the storage means will deliver a sealing plug directly above the opening of the filling member. This sealing plug is pre-prepared and is sized and shaped to match the opening of the filler member to ensure that it tightly plugs the opening of the filler member.
The pressing member then presses the sealing plug directly above the opening of the filling member, so that it moves in a direction approaching the filling member. Since the position of the pressing member and the designed direction of the pressure application are determined, the sealing plug will be pressed and inserted into the opening of the filler, whereby a preliminary sealing of the filler is achieved.
The structure greatly simplifies the packaging process, and can ensure that each filling piece is effectively sealed, thereby improving the production efficiency and quality. Meanwhile, the whole packaging process is automatic, so that the cost and the error rate of manual operation can be greatly reduced.
As shown in fig. 7, the packaging system further includes a heating unit 4, the filling unit 3 and the heating unit 4 are sequentially arranged along a first track, the structure of the heating unit 4 includes a second pressing member and a heating member located at the head of the second pressing member, the heating member includes a connection member 41 having one end in contact with the second pressing member, a tray 42 located at the other end of the connection member, and a heating member 43 located at an edge region of the tray 42, at least two heating members 43 are arranged, and different heating members 43 constitute a space for accommodating the head region of the filling; different heating components can adapt to filling pieces with different sizes and shapes, so that the adaptability of the equipment is improved. Meanwhile, the design of a plurality of heating components also enables the heating process to be more uniform, and is beneficial to improving the sealing effect.

wherein the spacing between the conveying members 142 is adjustable.
In practice, when the filler reaches the opening member, the switching member switches state as needed, thereby changing the area covering the slit of the support platform. For example, when it is recognized that the packing is not satisfactory, it is necessary to convey the packing to the second conveying member 13, the switching member is switched to a state in which the size of the cutout region is larger than the largest dimension of the packing in a plane parallel to the switching member, thereby enabling the packing to be moved from the first conveying member to the second conveying member. Similarly, when the filler is required to be conveyed normally, the switch member is switched to a state in which the size of the opening area is smaller than the largest dimension of the filler on a plane parallel to the switch member.
During the conveying process, the filling piece is driven to move forwards by the rotation of the conveying wheel assembly. The space between the conveying members is adjustable, so that the filling members with different sizes and shapes can be adapted, and in combination, the screening and conveying of the filling members are realized through the design and the matching of the opening members.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, a method for packaging a filler by a packaging system includes:
s1OO: delivering the filling member to a filling unit 3, the filling unit 3 blocking the opening of the filling member by means of a first partial seal;
s200: the filling member treated by the filling unit 3 is conveyed to the position of the heating unit 4,
s300: moving the second pressing member to enable the heating member to contact the filler bottle opening, heating the filler bottle opening through the heating member, and during heating, part of air in the filler bottle opening is expanded by heating, so that part of air can escape from the first part of sealing piece;
s400: during the heating process, the second pressing member is moved again, so that the second part of sealing piece blocks the opening of the filling piece, and the gas cannot pass through the second sealing member; in the step, due to the blockage of the second part of sealing element, gas cannot escape from the opening of the filling element, and when the bottle mouth is cooled to normal temperature, the filling element is in a negative pressure state, so that a better sealing effect is achieved, and the negative pressure state enables the sealing effect of the filling element to be better, and because the external pressure is higher than the internal pressure, external air cannot enter the filling element;
the first part of the sealing element is close to the bottom of the filling element relative to the second part, the first part is made of loose porous materials, the second part is made of dense and uniform materials, the first part is made of a wood plug with holes, the second part is made of rubber, and the peripheral diameter of the second part is larger than that of the first part.
The invention also discloses a food filling production line for executing the filling method, as shown in fig. 1 and 9, the structure of the filling unit 2 comprises a filling member 21 and a limiting member 22, the filling member 21 comprises a liquid storage container and a liquid outlet positioned on the surface of the liquid storage container, the limiting member 22 comprises a base 221 and a first telescopic member positioned on the surface of the base 221, the first telescopic member drives a first plate to move, clamps 223 are arranged on the surface of the first plate in a row, two sides of the first plate are respectively provided with a second telescopic member 222, and the clamps 223 at least fit with the shape of the outer surface of a part of the area of the first container 5;
in practice, when it is desired to fill the liquid, the outlet of the filling member 21 is opened, and the liquid in the liquid reservoir is introduced into the downstream portion of the filling unit. The first telescoping member then drives the first plate member in motion such that the position of the first plate member changes. This change in position directly affects the position of the clamp 223 so that the clamp can better grip and secure the first container.
The second telescoping member 222 will also telescope accordingly during the filling process. This design allows for grouping of different batches of first containers during the filling process, with the two second telescoping members 222 intercepting the first containers that do not require the filling operation, and finer adjustment and control, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of the filling.

Meanwhile, as the inclined members are arranged in a row along the direction parallel to the rotating shaft, the packing and clamping stagnation of the packing can be effectively prevented while the conveying stability is ensured, at least part of the cross section of the first container 5 is rectangular, the raised members are arranged on the outer surface of the area with the rectangular cross section, so that the packing can be better accommodated in the first container, meanwhile, the raised members can increase the friction force between the packing and the first container, the stability of the packing in the first container is ensured, and when the packing is conveyed from the first conveying member to the second conveying member right below, the falling speed of the first container is slower due to the friction force of the inclined members and the raised members, and the first container is prevented from being damaged due to the fact that the speed is too high in the transferring process.
In summary, the invention realizes the removal of the filling pieces which do not meet the requirements under the condition of not stopping conveying by the design of the opening member, and improves the whole production efficiency. Meanwhile, the position and the size of the opening member are adjusted, so that the filling piece with different sizes and types can be adapted, the universality and the flexibility of the equipment are enhanced, the first conveying member is positioned right above the second conveying member, and the occupied area is greatly reduced through the staggered parallel arrangement of the first track and the second conveying member. For a plant area with a smaller space, this design is more advantageous for the arrangement and operation of the apparatus, wherein the state of the filling elements is detected by the detection unit, whereby the first container 5 with an unsatisfactory filling element being a damaged appearance and the filling element with an unsatisfactory filling medium capacity can be screened out. The detection mode can effectively improve the product quality and the production efficiency. The filling method can realize the automatic, continuous and accurate treatment of the filling piece, reduce the cost and error rate of manual operation and improve the production efficiency and the product quality. Meanwhile, the device has simple structure, easy maintenance and operation and high practicability and economy.
