Definitions

  • the invention relates to a beverage filling member of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • This known filling element differs from other conventional beverage filling elements primarily by the guide wall, which receives the valve body, which controls the beverage passage, in the region of the valve seat, in the same way as a cylinder wall guides a piston.
  • the guide wall would seal the valve body on all sides even in the open position. It is therefore provided with openings in the known construction that allow liquid to pass through. In the known construction, these openings are made as large as possible in order to offer the liquid as little flow resistance as possible.
  • a gas barrier must be provided in the area of the beverage valve, which prevents gas from rising from the headspace of the container between the time of the filling stop and the time of closing the valve body.
  • a gas barrier is provided as an additional component outside the guide wall in the form of a correspondingly narrow annular gap.
  • a disadvantage of the known construction is first of all the high flow resistance, which is added from the flow resistance of the openings in the guide wall and the flow resistance of the gas barrier.
  • the costs of the known construction are influenced both by the guide wall and additionally by the gas barrier device to be provided.
  • the guide wall itself acts as a gas barrier with its openings.
  • a separate gas barrier device is therefore saved with its costs and the resulting flow resistance.
  • the liquid flow resistance can be kept sufficiently low by providing a large number of such small openings. A total of the flow resistance for liquids can be reduced compared to the known construction, and the construction costs can be reduced.
  • claim 2 The features of claim 2 are advantageously provided. In this way it is possible, for example, to replace guide walls with openings optimized for different liquids and gases without having to change the entire filling element. Furthermore, the invention can be retrofitted to known filling elements with already existing removable guide walls.
  • the openings are provided in the form of arbitrarily arranged holes or in the form of straight or oblique slots. Such openings can be formed particularly easily in the guide wall.
  • valve body is only guided in an annular region at the upper end of the guide wall. This location is most important for the guide as it is constantly engaged with the valve body and the frictional force is also reduced.
  • the underlying part of the guide Construct the wall freely without considering the guiding properties with regard to the gas barrier effect.
  • the housing 1 of a filling element encloses a shaft 2 which is constantly filled with drink and which, for example in conventional design, opens from below into the bottom of a beverage storage kettle (not shown).
  • the bottom 3 of the shaft is formed on the top of an insert 4 inserted into the housing 1, in which a beverage outlet 5 is provided, which in the usual way leads down to the mouth of a container (not shown) to be filled.
  • a sealing ring 6 is arranged in the usual way as a valve seat, annularly surrounding the beverage outlet 5. Against this, the lower edge of a valve body 7 comes into sealing engagement, closing the beverage outlet 5 against the shaft 2, when the valve body 7 is lowered relative to the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the valve body 7 is mounted in a height-controlled manner in the shaft 2 in a manner not shown.
  • valve body 7 shown is penetrated by a gas channel 8, which is below the valve body 7 is extended in a return air pipe 9 which projects downward through the beverage outlet 5.
  • valve body 7 is mounted at its lower end in a guide wall 10 in the construction shown. This surrounds the circumference of the round valve body 7 in the illustrated embodiment with little play on all sides and in this way ensures good guidance of the valve body in the manner of a piston-cylinder guide.
  • the guide wall 10 is of such a height that it still gives the valve body 7 sufficient guidance even in its uppermost operating position, which is somewhat higher than that shown in FIG. 1. It therefore constantly encloses the valve body and would block the liquid flow. It therefore has openings 11 through which liquid can flow from the shaft 2 to the beverage outlet 5 when the valve body 7 is open.
  • openings 11 are designed as round, radially running bores.
  • the diameter of these bores is dimensioned such that liquid can pass through, but not gas bubbles.
  • the guide wall 11 thus acts as a gas barrier.
  • the diameter of the opening 11 may be a maximum of about 1 mm in order to ensure safe gas barrier effect with good liquid flow.
  • the guide wall 10 is arranged interchangeably in the filling element. As shown in FIG. 1, for this purpose it is provided with an annular base 12 which is inserted in a corresponding groove in the bottom of the shaft 2 is let.
  • the ring base 12 can, as shown in FIG. 1, also serve as a backup for the sealing ring 6.
  • FIG. 1a shows a detail from FIG. 1 only one guide wall 100, in which slot-shaped openings 111 are formed instead of bores.
  • the slot width must be approximately 1 mm.
  • the guide wall 100 is relatively thin here.
  • a ring 110 is provided which is thicker, projects radially inwards relative to the rest of the guide wall and is used solely for guiding the valve body 7.
  • FIG. 1b and c show, in a representation similar to FIG. 1a, further examples of guide walls 100 ', 100' '.
  • the guide wall 100 ' is designed in the form of a comb closed at the top with an upper circumferential ring 110'.
  • the spaces between the ridge webs form openings 111 '.
  • the upper rings 110 'or 110' ' are thickened radially inwards projecting relative to the guide wall 100' or 100 '' and serve to guide the valve body 7.
  • the wall 11 is made thinner and has an upper, radially inwardly projecting ring which is used solely for guiding the valve body 7.
  • Fig. 2 shows a guide wall 10 'in an enlarged view corresponding to the section of Fig. 1 (right).
  • the guide wall 10 ' has openings 11' which are designed as bores corresponding to the openings 11 in FIG. 1. However, as shown in FIG. 2, these are designed to run obliquely downwards from the outside inwards. This ensures that the liquid, which must flow downwards in the direction of the arrow from the outside in any case in this area, can flow through the openings 11 'in a flow-favorable manner without deflection.
  • the slots 111 can also be formed obliquely inwards and downwards in the embodiment of FIG. 1a. Irrespective of this, the slots 111, which are shown in FIG. 1 a running parallel to the edge 110, can also be arranged obliquely to this.
