Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for filling containers, in particular folding box packs which are closed at one end, with a liquid having at least one transport device for moving the container, a storage container for holding the liquid and at least one which is connected to the storage container and one of them Filling valve lockable filling head, which can be moved vertically relative to the container and lowered into it.
- High-speed filling machines on which milk, juice or similar foaming products are filled are known in many designs.
- the filling head can be moved relative to the container in order to have the smallest possible distance between the filling head and the container bottom or liquid level at the beginning and during the filling process to avoid foam.
- the relative movement between the container and the filling head occurs either by lifting and lowering the container or by lowering and lifting the filling head.
- a combination of both variants is also possible, even if it makes little sense in terms of design.
- the task is to synchronize the mechanical movement of the container or the filling head with the filling level, since the filling head should not be immersed in the liquid already in the container for hygienic reasons. This object is already achieved in the prior art by the synchronization of the movement of the lifting with the movement of a metering piston.
- the object of the invention is to design and refine the above-mentioned device for filling containers or the corresponding method in such a way that reliable control of the relative movement between the container and the filling head can be achieved with less design effort to be able to significantly reduce the foam formation of the filling product in this way, so that a subsequent defoaming can be dispensed with.
- a flow meter is arranged between the storage container and the filling valve and that a control device for converting the pulses of the flow meter into vertical movements of the filling head and / or the container is provided.
- the solution to the problem is that the relative movement between the container and the filling head is regulated on the basis of the volume of the liquid flowing into the container, as determined by a flow meter.
- the flow meter is a magnetically inductive sensor which is arranged in the liquid line between the reservoir and the filling valve. In this way, the exact flow rate can be reliably achieved without mechanical contact with the filling material.
- the filling head is arranged stationary and a lifting device for lifting / lowering the container is provided below the filling head.
- a lifting device for lifting / lowering the container is provided below the filling head.
- the lifting device has a translationally driven axis and a travel meter.
- This enables a structurally simple but very reliable control of the lifting device.
- the combination of the, in particular magnetically inductive, flow measurement with the movement of the lifting device is particularly advantageous since the movement is realized by an electric servo axis, which in turn receives its control function from the flow-proportional pulses of the flow meter. In this way, there is a direct dependency of the movement of the lifting device of the container or filling head on the current filling volume, which is simple to construct, so that the complex synchronization of two movements can be omitted.
- a container 1 which is closed at one end is arranged below a filling head 2 on a lifting device 3.
- the filling head 2 is supplied by a filling line 4 from a storage container 5, which is fed by an only indicated inlet 6.
- the filling volume, which is adapted to the container size, is dimensioned via a filling valve 7 above the filling head 2.
- a flow meter 8 is now arranged between the storage container 5 and the filling valve 7, and a control device 9 is used to convert the pulses of the flow meter 8 into vertical movements relative to the container 1 and the filling head 2.
- the filling head 2 is arranged in a stationary manner and the lifting device 3 is used to raise / lower the container 1 constant distance h between filling head and liquid level must be maintained.
- the container it is also possible, although not shown, for the container to be arranged in a stationary manner under the filling head and for the vertical movement to be carried out by the filling head.
- the lifting device 3 has a translatory axis 10 and a distance meter 11. It is also particularly advantageous that the flow meter 8 is designed as a magnetically inductive sensor.
- control device 9 consists of a synchronous controller 12, a position controller 13 and a speed controller 14.
- the synchronous controller 12 and the position controller 13 are activated via a switch 15 as a function of the pulses of the displacement sensor 11.
