Description

Liquid refill system

This creation relates to a liquid repackaging system, especially a liquid repackaging system that can be automated, airtightly isolated from the external environment, and can handle used liquids, thereby not only preventing personnel from contacting the liquid due to contact The dangers caused can also avoid the interference caused by the external environment during the packaging process and increase the reuse of the used liquid.

Due to its amorphous nature, liquids need to be preserved or contained through containers. In order to facilitate storage, usually a large-volume container is first filled, and then the liquid in the large-volume container is re-packed into a small-volume container by manpower for easy use.

Common types of liquids include chemical liquids, industrial solvents, general beverages or water. Among chemical liquids and industrial solvents, when the packaging process is performed manually, the packaging person will be exposed to danger. It may be in direct contact with chemical syrup or industrial solvents, which may cause accidental injury.

In addition, for many types of liquids, storage will avoid air contact as much as possible. The reasons are as follows: First, when the oxygen in the air comes into contact with the liquid, the liquid may be chemically changed and deteriorated; secondly, if the liquid contains water, the gas and water in the air will change when it comes into contact with the air The original ratio of gas to water in the liquid; in addition, if contacted with air, the suspended matter in the air may also be dissolved into the liquid, which affects the purity of the liquid. However, it is difficult to avoid the contact between the liquid and the air when using human to carry out the packaging.

In addition, with the rise of environmental awareness, resource reuse has become a trend of concern. For chemical liquids and industrial solvents, after use, the waste liquid will contain considerable impurities, so it must be filtered before reuse. However, the disposal of waste liquid must be completed before the repackaging by manpower; in other words, the treatment of waste liquid and the repackaging must be carried out separately. In this way, the repackaging of waste liquid will take time and labor.

In view of this, the creators have accumulated many years of experience and continuous research and development and improvement. In order to avoid the potential hazards caused by direct contact between personnel and liquids, the lack of liquids caused by contact with air during the packaging process is eliminated, and resources are reached At the same time, it can effectively reduce the cost of time and manpower to improve economic efficiency, so this creation has been produced.

There are three technical problems to be solved in this creation: one is to reduce/eliminate the chance of contact between the personnel and the liquid to avoid the situation where the personnel are injured due to contact with the liquid; the second is to keep the liquid from the external environment during the packaging process Air-tight isolation; third, integrate waste liquid treatment (reuse) and sub-packaging procedures to save time and labor costs.

To achieve the above purpose, the present invention creates a liquid repacking system for repackaging liquid from a liquid source into a plurality of containers, which includes a gas cleaning unit, a filtering unit, a liquid filling unit and a Container opening sealing unit; wherein the gas cleaning unit is through a pipe connected to the container for injecting gas into the container to clean the inside of the container and remove air; the filter unit is through a A pipe connected to the liquid source for receiving liquid from the liquid source and filtering impurities from the liquid source; the liquid filling unit receives the filtered liquid through a pipe connected to the filter unit, and Inject the filtered liquid through a pipe connected to the aforementioned container In a gas-cleaned container; the container opening sealing unit is used to seal the container opening of the container filled with liquid.

In one embodiment, the system operates with gas power, and/or the system is gas-tightly isolated from the external environment, and/or the system operates in an automated manner.

In one embodiment, the liquid system of the aforementioned liquid source is an industrial solvent; in another embodiment, the industrial solvent is a used waste solvent.

In another embodiment, the aforementioned liquid repacking system further includes a liquid filling amount control unit; the liquid filling amount control unit is used to control the amount of liquid that the liquid filling unit fills into a plurality of containers.

In still another embodiment, the liquid repackaging system further includes a water absorption unit that receives the filtered liquid through a pipe connected to the filter unit and is used to absorb the water in the filtered liquid Where the liquid filling unit receives the filtered and absorbed water through a pipe connected to the water absorption unit, and injects the filtered and absorbed water into the gas through the pipe connected to the container In a clean container.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the processing flow of the first embodiment of the liquid repacking system of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the processing flow of the second embodiment of the liquid repacking system of the invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the processing flow of the first embodiment of the liquid repacking system created. As shown in the figure, the aforementioned liquid repackaging system 1 includes: a gas cleaning unit 10, a filtering unit 11, a liquid filling unit 12, a liquid filling amount control unit 13, and a container opening sealing unit 14; wherein, the aforementioned Each unit is sealed in a chamber 15 (for example, the internal space formed by the machine casing), while maintaining airtight isolation from the external environment.

As shown in FIG. 1, during implementation, an empty container is continuously supplied to a container conveying unit 4 via a container supply unit 3, and then the container 5 is moved to a position via the container conveying unit 4 for subsequent procedures. In the first figure, one container is moved at a time as an example; however, during implementation, multiple containers can also be moved at the same time for subsequent procedures.

First, the empty container 5 is processed with the aforementioned gas cleaning unit 10. The gas cleaning unit 10 injects gas into the empty container 5 through which the internal air is removed through a pipe 102 connected to the aforementioned container, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inside of the empty container and to evacuate the air in the container 5 . During implementation, the gases that can be used by the foregoing gas cleaning unit 10 include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, or argon.

At the same time, the liquid to be dispensed is put into a liquid source 2, and the liquid source 2 is connected to the aforementioned filter unit 11 through a pipe 22, and the liquid in it is filtered through the filter unit 11 to Remove impurities in the liquid. During implementation, the material and configuration of the filter unit can be selected according to the type or use of the liquid to be filtered.

In addition to being connected to the liquid source 2, the aforementioned filtering unit 11 is also connected to the liquid filling unit 12 through a pipe 112; thereby, the filtered liquid can pass through the liquid filling unit 12 through a pipe 122 connected to the container It is injected into the gas-cleaned container; during the injection process, the liquid filling amount control unit 13 can also be used to control the amount of liquid injected into the container.

After the liquid filling unit 12 injects the filtered liquid into the gas-cleaned container, the opening of the container sealing unit 14 can be used to seal the opening of the container 5'filled with liquid (for example, using a robotic arm 142 for capping) ). At this point, the process of repacking the liquid from the liquid source 2 into the plurality of containers 5'is completed.

In this embodiment, the liquid repackaging system uses compressed gas as the power source for operation, so as to avoid the danger that the liquid to be processed may generate. In addition, the aforementioned liquid repackaging system operates in an automated manner, without the need to manually perform the liquid packaging, so that the dangers that may exist due to personnel exposure to the liquid to be treated can be eliminated. For example, the aforementioned liquid dispensing system can use nitrogen as a power source and digitally control the nitrogen pressure with a central processing unit.

It should be understood that the processing procedures shown in Figure 1 are only exemplary diagrams, and in the explanation, all feasible implementations should be covered. Taking the movement of a container as an example, it is not limited to horizontal and horizontal movement, but can also include vertical movement. Its purpose is mainly to move the container to a position that facilitates interaction with other components (such as a gas cleaning unit, a liquid filling unit, or a container opening sealing unit) .

In addition, as mentioned above, the figure 1 shows only the processing procedure, not the actual layout of each component. Therefore, during implementation, the container does not necessarily move in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 1, and may only move to a position, and then be connected with other components to perform related procedures. For example, the container can be moved to a position and communicated with the gas cleaning unit and the liquid filling unit through pipes, and the valve is used as a means of switching to achieve the purpose of injecting gas and liquid into the container.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram showing the processing flow of the second embodiment of the liquid repacking system of the present creation. As shown in the figure, the liquid repacking system 1'of this embodiment The gas cleaning unit 10, the filtering unit 11, the liquid filling unit 12, the liquid filling amount control unit 13, and the container opening sealing unit 14 further include a water absorption unit 16. The water absorption unit 16 receives the filtered liquid through a pipe 114 connected to the filter unit to absorb the water in the filtered liquid, and the liquid filling unit 12 passes through a phase connected to the water absorption unit 16 The connected pipe 162 receives the filtered and absorbed water liquid, and injects the filtered and absorbed water liquid into the gas-cleaned container through the pipe 122 connected to the aforementioned container. In addition, all the aforementioned units are also sealed in a chamber 15 to maintain airtight isolation from the external environment.

In the second embodiment, the liquid system from the liquid source 2 is an industrial solvent, for example, a used waste solvent. In addition to filtering impurities through the filtering unit, the aforementioned solvent (or waste solvent) is also capable of absorbing moisture through the aforementioned water absorbing unit, thereby obtaining a high-purity solvent. In this way, it not only helps to reuse the waste solvent, but also integrates the solvent processing procedure and the sub-packaging procedure into one, while achieving environmental protection goals, it can also effectively save time and cost.

The above are the specific embodiments of the creation and the technical methods used. Based on the disclosure or teaching of this article, many changes and corrections can be derived and deduced, which can still be regarded as equivalent changes made for the concept of the creation. The role has not exceeded the essential spirit covered by the specification and drawings, and should be regarded as within the technical scope of this creation, and should be stated first.

In summary, this creation can indeed achieve the intended purpose, providing a liquid repackaging system that can be automated, airtightly isolated from the external environment, and can handle used liquids, thereby not only avoiding personnel and liquids. The danger caused by contact and the interference caused by the external environment during the packaging process can also increase the reusability of the used liquid, which is extremely practical and valuable for industrial use.
