Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling containers, in particular bottles or cans, with a predetermined amount of a liquid.
  • a liquid contained in a storage kettle is usually filled into containers, such as cans or bottles, by successively docking the containers to a filling head which is arranged on the storage container and has an outlet closing valve which opens for filling the liquid into the containers becomes.
  • the liquid flows from the storage container under the effect of gravity through the open valve into the container to be filled.
  • a filling head must be provided, which first pressurizes the container with the pressure which also acts on the liquid in the storage container, so that the container to be filled is pre-stressed before the filling of the liquid is started.
  • the biasing gas is displaced from the container.
  • the fill level in the container is determined by the position of the end of the vent line in the upper part of the container to be filled. Since the inner volume of the container is usually not constant, precise volume metering of the filling quantity is not possible in this way.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type described above for filling volumetrically measured amounts of a liquid.
  • a storage container holding the liquid to be filled and a metering chamber of predetermined volume connected to the storage container via a closable liquid passage, which has a closable liquid outlet and centering and sealing means for docking successive containers to be filled.
  • the invention offers the advantage that it allows the filling of precisely specified quantities of a liquid into containers such as cans or bottles to be docked one after the other.
  • the filling quantities in successive containers are no longer dependent on the internal volume of the respective container.
  • the features of the claims relating to the arrangement of the metering chamber within the storage container are of particular and independent inventive importance. This integration of the dosing chamber into the storage container not only achieves a compact and space-saving construction of the filling device, but also results in a conception of the filling device that is particularly suitable for filling a liquid in the storage container under increased pressure.
  • the externally adjustable displacement body which is inserted into the metering chamber in accordance with claims 8 and 9 makes the filling device according to the invention particularly flexible because it can be adjusted to different volumetric quantities which can be determined.
  • the features of the claims which relate to the arrangement of the displacement body in the metering chamber, also have independent inventive significance.
  • the displacer also serves as an assembly and guide body for several components of the filling device proposed according to the invention and thereby makes the filling head of the device a compact, separately mountable and easy-to-use and adjustable structural unit which can be mounted outside the storage container and inserted as a whole into the storage container.
  • the filling device according to the invention is structurally simple and safe in its function because it has only a few moving parts.
  • the embodiment according to claim 7 is considered to be particularly advantageous because the inner metering chamber part simultaneously has a valve function for the passage of the liquid to the metering chamber.
  • the design of the return gas pipe as the carrier and actuating member of the outlet valve of the metering chamber toward the respective docked container increases the simplicity of the construction of the filling device according to the invention, since additional parts that can be moved relative to each other are saved.
  • the filling process can advantageously be accelerated by reducing the internal pressure of the container during filling according to the invention.
  • the decreasing filling speed towards the end of the filling process causes the liquid flow to calm down, which reduces the risk of the liquid foaming in the container to be filled.
  • the filling head versions in which the dosing chamber is filled from below, ensure that the dosing chamber is filled smoothly and yet quickly without the formation of bubbles and vortices that significantly impair the dosing process.
  • the invention provides in a very advantageous manner a filling device for metered filling of liquids with a structurally compact, easy to assemble, handle and adjust and at the same time extremely functionally reliable and fast filling head, which in a particularly advantageous manner also fills under pressure standing liquid allowed.
  • the invention advantageously provides an extremely fast filling valve which, with high functional reliability, allows high filling speeds of precisely metered filling quantities.
  • the filling device shown in FIG. 1 has a storage container 1, which can be designed in a known manner as a ring bowl rotating around a vertical axis (see FIG. 5).
  • a liquid 2 to be filled is contained in the ring bowl.
  • the liquid level is kept constant by known means, not shown in the drawing.
  • Above the liquid level there is a gas space 3 which contains a gas under an increased pressure.
  • a pot-shaped container extension 4 is attached to the underside of the storage container 1, the outside of which is designed as a guide for a centering and sealing bell 6.
  • the centering and sealing bell 6 has at its lower outlet a seal 7, with which it is pressed onto a container 8 to be filled, for example a can or bottle. Successive containers 8 are held by means of a carrier 9 during the filling process.
  • the centering and sealing bell 6 can be moved up and down on the container attachment 4.
  • the container attachment 4 has a control roller 11 which is guided up and down in the direction of a double arrow 11a by means of a control cam 11b and thereby moves the centering and sealing bell 6 accordingly.
  • the inside of the container neck 4 represents the lower part of a metering chamber 12, the upper part of which is formed by a hollow cylinder 13, which is arranged axially aligned with the container neck 4 in the interior of the storage container 1.
  • the hollow end of the hollow cylinder 13 lies around the inner access to the container attachment 4 on the bottom of the storage container 1 and seals the dosing chamber 12 to the liquid 2 by means of a seal 13a.
  • the hollow cylinder 13 is axially movable in the direction of an arrow 13b, for which purpose an eccentric 15 actuated by means of a control cam 15a and a control roller 15b is provided, which into a corresponding driver 13c of the hollow cylinder ders engages 13.
  • At the lower end of the hollow cylinder 13 there is a cylindrical guide surface 14 projecting into the container shoulder 4, which is intended to even out the flow of the liquid flowing from the storage container 1 into the metering chamber 12.
  • a displacer body 16 is inserted into the hollow cylinder 13 from above, which is mounted with a guide rod 16a in the housing of the storage container 1 and is adjustable from the outside in the direction of an arrow 16b.
  • the axial position of the displacer 16 in the hollow cylinder 13 determines the filling volume of the metering chamber 12.
  • the displacer 16 simultaneously forms the axial guidance of the hollow cylinder 13 in the direction of the double arrow 13b.
  • a return gas line 17 runs through the displacement body 16 between the metering chamber 12 and the gas space 3 of the storage container.
  • This return gas line 17 has a float valve 18 with a float ball 18a, which limits the fill level of the metering chamber below the liquid level in the reservoir 1.

  • a pretensioning line 29 is provided which connects the gas space of the storage container 1 to the inside of the centering and sealing bell 6 and the inside of a docked container 8 via a valve 29a .
  • the arrangement of the prestressing line is made in the area of the centering and sealing bell 6 in such a way that a differential pressure arises between an annular space 6a in the centering and sealing bell 6 and the interior of the container, which increases the pressure of the seal 7 against the upper edge of the container to be filled .
  • a relief valve 31 is used to relax the container 8 after filling with a liquid under increased pressure.
  • the storage container 1 contains a carbonated beverage 2 and that the gas in the gas space 3 above the liquid level is under an increased pressure.
  • the pressure in the additional gas space 27 is below the pressure in Gas space 3.
  • the hollow cylinder 13 lies against the bottom of the storage container 1 via the seal 13a and closes the metering chamber against the liquid 2.

  • a container 8 is positioned under the centering and sealing bell 6, and the centering and sealing bell is lowered onto the upper edge of the container 8 by means of the control roller 11 and the control cam 11b. Then, by opening the biasing valve 29a, the pressure of the gas in the gas space 3 is applied to the inside of the container 8 so that the container 8 is biased, the differential pressure between the annular space 6a in the centering and sealing bell 6 and the inside of the container 8 the pressure of the seal 7 on the upper container edge is increased.
  • the hollow cylinder 13 is then raised in the direction of the arrow 13b, so that the liquid passage 10 between the storage container 1 and the metering chamber is opened and the liquid flows into the metering chamber, the flow of the liquid through the cylindrical guide surface 14 being calmed so that foaming is suppressed.
  • the gas contained in the metering chamber 12 escapes when the liquid flows in through the return gas line 17 until the liquid level reached in the metering chamber lifts the float ball 18a and the float valve 18 closes.
  • the dosing chamber contains an exactly measured amount of the liquid to be filled.
  • the amount of liquid contained in the metering chamber is determined by its volume, which is set with the help of the displacement body 16.
