Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for filling a container with a filling product, preferably for filling a container in a beverage filling plant, and a filling device for filling a filling product into a container.
  • the container to be filled and the filling valve must be brought into sealing contact with each other. This is particularly necessary when filling carbonated drinks.
  • the sealing contact is achieved by pressing the container against the filling valve or by pressing the filling valve against the container.
  • Filling devices in which the containers to be filled are lifted have a correspondingly reduced treatment angle, which has a negative impact on the performance or the possible throughput of such filling devices.
  • Such filling devices In order to achieve a high throughput, such filling devices must be very large, which results in high manufacturing and operating costs.
  • the lifting movements of the clamps of the filling devices that raise and lower the containers are controlled by lifting curves. which are determined by guide curves arranged on the stationary part of the filling device.
  • the pressure cylinders of the clamps of the filling devices are arranged on the rotating part of the filling devices.
  • the EP 2 792 603 A1 describes a container treatment module for use in container treatment machines and thus a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the DE 43 32 325 A1 describes a centering device for container filling machines.
  • the DE 94 12 952 U1 describes a vessel treatment machine with an upper rotor and a lower rotor that is height-adjustable relative to it.
  • a device for filling a container with a filling product preferably for filling a container in a beverage filling plant with the features of claim 1.
  • a device for filling a container with a filling product preferably for filling a container in a beverage filling plant, comprising a carrier bolt, a filling element attached to the carrier bolt, which has a Longitudinal axis of the filling element has a filling valve movable relative to the carrier bolt, and a container holder rigidly attached to the carrier bolt below the filling valve for holding a container to be filled.
  • a connection device is provided for the height-adjustable connection of the carrier bolt to a transport device, preferably to a valve carrier, of a filling device in a beverage filling plant.
  • the contact forces that act on the container held in the container holder when the filling valve is pressed are introduced directly into the carrier bolt on both sides and absorbed by it.
  • the force flow during pressing only runs between the filling valve, filling element, container holder and carrier bolt. Since the filling element and the container holder are attached directly to the carrier bolt, the resulting lever arm, via which the contact forces that arise when pressing on the filling valve and the container holder are introduced onto the carrier bolt, is also short. Accordingly, the bending moment on the carrier bolt is also low and thus any inclination of the container and filling valve relative to each other is negligible.
  • the transport device of the filling system is therefore decoupled from the forces acting on the container in the container holder when the filling valve is pressed and can therefore be constructed less solidly.
  • connection device for the height-adjustable connection of the carrier bolt to the transport device is designed to be height-adjustable
  • the connection device is designed to be height-adjustable.
  • the height of the carrier bolt can thus be adjusted relative to the transport device of the filling device, so that the height level of the container holder attached to the carrier bolt corresponds to a predetermined height in the filling device.
  • the height adjustment takes place solely by changing the height of the carrier bolt relative to the transport device.
  • connection position or connection height of the carrier bolt specified by the height-adjustable connection device when the connection position or connection height of the carrier bolt specified by the height-adjustable connection device is adjusted, the filling element and the container holder, which are both firmly attached to the carrier bolt, are moved in parallel.
  • the distance between the filling valve and the container holder therefore remains the same, so that all parameters relating to the control of the pressure and the resulting filling behavior are independent of the height position. In this way, the device can be designed to be particularly efficient.
  • any possible vertical runout of the transport device such as the valve carrier, can be compensated for by adjusting the height using the connection device.
  • all container holders can be set to exactly the same height without the container carrier having to be aligned particularly precisely.
  • the connection device has an adjusting nut that engages with an adjusting thread provided on the support bolt.
  • the support bolt is supported by the adjusting nut on the transport device from above, i.e. in the direction of the acceleration due to gravity. Turning the adjusting nut on the adjusting thread causes the adjusting nut to be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the bolt. Consequently, the support bolt also experiences a displacement relative to the transport device in accordance with the displacement of the adjusting nut.
  • a filling device for filling a filling product into a container comprising a valve carrier rotatable about a central axis of rotation and at least one device for filling a container with a filling product according to one of the preceding embodiments.
  • the container To fill a container to be filled, the container is held on the container holder 4 rigidly attached to the support bolt 2 and the filling valve 30 is lowered onto the container to be filled relative to the support bolt 2 so that the filling can be carried out with the filling valve 30 pressed against it.
  • connection device 5 has a clamping plate 52 which is rigidly attached to the valve carrier 104.
  • the carrier bolt 2 is, as described below with reference to Figure 3 will be described in detail, is guided through a bore 54 of the clamping plate 52 and is held in a fixed position by means of two adjusting nuts 50, 50' in the direction of the bolt's longitudinal axis 22, thus in its height relative to the clamping plate 52 and thus in its height relative to the valve carrier 104.
  • the support bolt 2 is supported by the first adjusting nut 50 on the clamping plate 52 from above, thus in the direction of the acceleration due to gravity.
  • the second adjusting nut 50 acts as a lock nut, so that the support bolt 2 is clamped to the clamping plate 52 and is thus fixed in a fixed position.
  • the height adjustment of the support bolt 2 provided by the connection device 5 is carried out by turning the first adjusting nut 50, whereby the second adjusting nut 50' must be loosened beforehand in order to release the previously described clamped state.
  • Turning the first adjusting nut 50 on the adjusting thread 20 causes a displacement of the adjusting nut 50 in the direction of the bolt's longitudinal axis 22. Consequently, the support bolt 2 experiences a displacement relative to the clamping plate 52 in the direction of its bolt's longitudinal axis 22, which corresponds to the displacement of the adjusting nut 50.
