Next, the operation procedure of the bottle drinking water filling device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the operation procedure of the bottle drinking water filling device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the position of the drum and the operation of the bottle drinking water filling device. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of the cap carrier of the bottle drinking water filling device.
In FIG. 4, the bottle is first loaded in the drum with its water supply port facing upward, and the apparatus is turned on in step S1.
In step S2, the drum first rotates 180 degrees to reverse the bottle and turn the water supply port downward (step S21). FIG. 5C shows this state. The direction indicated by reference symbol C in FIG. 5C is a direction 180 degrees from A, that is, directly below, when the direction indicated by reference symbol A in FIG. In addition to FIG. 5C, reference numerals 4a and 4b in FIGS. 5A and 5B schematically show the side plates shown in FIG. 1, and therefore FIGS. It is understood that FIG. 1 is a side view. In the present embodiment, the rotation of the drum is operated from the front side of the bottle drinking water filling device to the back side or the near side, but is not particularly limited to this direction, and the front side of the bottle drinking water filling device is not limited. It may rotate from side to side.

Next, the bottle cleaning process is executed in step S22 while the bottle 8 is inverted. As shown in FIG. 3, the bottle cleaning is performed by opening the cleaning liquid valve 41 and discharging the cleaning liquid stored in the cleaning liquid tank 42 by the cleaning liquid pump 45 from the cleaning liquid line 40 via the cleaning line 33 and the cleaning nozzle 26. The cleaning liquid that has cleaned the inside of the bottle 8 is drained from the drain funnel 25 and discharged to the outside of the bottle drinking water filling device via the drain line 43.
When the cleaning is completed, the next step is the bottle sterilization process in step S23. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottle cleaning is performed by opening the sterilizing liquid valve 38 and discharging the sterilizing air stored in the sterilizing liquid tank 39 by the sterilizing liquid pump 44, and the sterilizing liquid line 37 to the cleaning line 33 and the cleaning nozzle 26. To go through. The sterilizing liquid is also discharged out of the bottle drinking water filling device through the drain funnel 25 and the drain line 43 in the same manner as the cleaning liquid.
The cleaning liquid is injected to wash away contaminants such as dust and bacteria that may be present in the bottle, and the sterilizing liquid is bacteria that may be present in the bottle. Injected to kill what did not exist. These injection amounts are adjusted so that the concentrations of the cleaning liquid and the sterilizing liquid are constant by controlling the driving of the sterilizing liquid pump 44 and the cleaning liquid pump 45 according to the flow rate discharged by the cleaning pump 31.
When the cleaning and sterilization is completed, the bottle rinsing process in step S24 is performed. This step is a rinse so that the sterilizing liquid remaining in the bottle is completely washed away. When the process in step S2 ends, preparation for injecting potable water ends.

Step S3 is a process necessary for determining whether or not the stoppering is properly completed in combination with Step S6. In step S31, the bottle in the inverted state is generated by rotating the drum from directly above to an angle of 15 degrees indicated by reference numeral B as shown in FIG.
In step S32, the distance from the bottle mouth 8a to the end of the hammer 22 of the stopper is measured. Specifically, in a state where the cap is not loaded, the stopper 22 is driven to lower the hammer 22 to the bottle opening 8a, and from the end of the hammer 22 before driving to the end of the hammer 22 when it is lowered to the bottle opening 8a. Is measured with an encoder (not shown) of the plugging machine. The position of the end portion of the hammer 22 before driving is determined in advance, and this point is set as an initial value of the encoder, and the difference between the encoder 22 reading value when the hammer 22 is driven and the end portion reaches the bottle mouth 8a. That is, the distance between the end of the hammer 22 before driving and the bottle mouth 8a.
At this time, the cap receiver 13 is provided at the end of the hammer 22. However, since the cap receiver 13 does not interfere with the bottle opening 8a, it is driven until the end of the main body of the hammer 22 contacts the bottle opening 8a. Therefore, the end of the hammer 22 means the end of the hammer 22 body. Further, the position of the hammer 22 before driving may be arbitrarily determined, and may be appropriately set in consideration of the dimensions of the stopper and the entire apparatus.
In step S4, the drum is further rotated to return the bottle mouth to the directly upward direction (step S41). This state is the state shown in FIG.
Next, drinking water is poured into the bottle (step S42). Although the injection of drinking water has been described with reference to FIG. 3, the water supply pump 29 is driven from the storage tank 19 to supply the drinking water from the water supply line 18 via the water supply nozzle 17.

When the injection of the potable water into the bottle is completed, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S51, first, the drum is rotated again to a state tilted 15 degrees from directly above, that is, a state as shown in FIG. Next, in step S52, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 6, the cap 49 received from the cap supply unit 23 is placed on the cap holding unit 48 of the cap transporter 46 and transported to the vicinity of the bottle mouth 8a. Then, it is transferred to the cap receiver 13 provided at the tip of the hammer 22. In step S53, the hammer 22 of the stopper is driven, and the cap transferred to the cap receiver 13 is loaded into the bottle mouth 8a and stoppered. Reference symbol D in FIG. 6 indicates a stroke when the cap holder 48 that holds the cap 49 is conveyed by the cylinder 47 to the vicinity of the bottle mouth 8a.
When plugging, the step S6 is started and the distance between the cap and the end of the hammer 22 of the plugging machine is measured with the encoder of the plugging machine in step S61 simultaneously with the plugging. Specifically, the distance from the end portion of the hammer 22 before driving to the end portion of the hammer 22 when descending to the bottle mouth 8a through the cap is measured by an encoder (not shown) of the stopper. is there. This time, since the hammer 22 has a cap, it stops at the upper surface, and as a result, the distance from the end of the hammer 22 before driving to the end of the hammer 22 after driving is from the end of the hammer 22 before driving to the upper surface of the cap. So it becomes the distance.
Therefore, since the difference between the distance measured in step S61 and the distance measured in step S32 corresponds to the cap thickness, it is recorded in advance as cap thickness data in consideration of variations in the cap thickness. It is possible to determine whether or not the cap is properly stoppered by comparing the difference in the measured distance. This step is step S62.
Although not described in step S62, the difference between the cap thickness data and the measured distance is compared, and when it is included in a predetermined range or, conversely, determined not to be included in the range In addition, the plugging machine emits a signal, and the alarm device or confirmation device receives the signal and confirms the propriety of the plugging work by voice, light, character display, etc. It is good to be notified.
After confirming that the stoppering is properly completed, the power is turned off in step S7 and the bottle is taken out.
In the present embodiment, water is supplied from the water supply nozzle 17 with the bottle mouth 8a facing straight upward, and the plugging operation is performed with the hammer 22 of the plugging machine in a state inclined approximately 15 degrees. However, these positions and angles may be reversed, as long as they are on the rotation path of the bottle mouth 8a and the positions and angles are such that the drinking water supplied from the bottle 8 does not leak. There is no particular limitation.
Also, confirmation of the suitability of the stopper is not always necessary, and may be omitted in light of the cost of the bottled water filling device. In that case, step S3 and step S6 shown in FIG. 4 are omitted.

Finally, the function of the bottle holding part of the bottle drinking water filling device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A is a schematic view showing a state when the bottle is placed on the drum, FIG. 7B is a view of FIG. 7A viewed from above, and FIG. 7C is the drum. It is a schematic diagram which shows the state at the time of rotating a bottle and reversing a bottle.
In FIG. 7A, the bottle 8 is placed on the upper surface of a bottle holding unit 10 provided on the bottom plate 5 of the drum 3. The bottle holding part 10 can move in the length direction of the fixing part 11 and is not fixed to the bottom plate 5. The bottle mouth support portion 7 is formed in a U shape as shown in FIG. 7B, and guides the bottle mouth 8 a to the inside of the U shape while having a margin in the shoulder portion of the bottle 8.
When the bottle 8 is reversed by rotating the drum from the state shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the bottle holding portion 10 is lowered downward by its own weight as shown in FIG. Since the bottle 8 is lowered by its own weight, the bottle 8 is held so as to be sandwiched between the bottle mouth support portion 7 and the bottle holding portion 10. The shoulder portion of the bottle 8 abuts against the bottle mouth support portion 7 and a gap is generated between the bottle holding portion 10 and the bottom plate 5.
When washing, sterilization, and rinsing of the bottle are performed in this state as described above, the bottle 8 is not pushed up by the discharge liquid of the cleaning liquid and the sterilizing liquid discharged from the cleaning nozzle, and there is no vibration. It is possible to execute such processes.
