Definitions

  • the present invention relates to filling heads for use in bottling carbonated beverages.
  • the liquid is delivered to the bottle or other container from a reservoir or filling tank containing a body of the liquid and a superposed body of gas, the gas being under pressure sufiicient to hold the liquid-contained gas in solution.
  • the customary cycle of operation of a filling head includes the initial step of positioning the container I in sealed relation with a filling head including a filling valve, for example, a valve of disk form which is rotatable with respect to the body element of the filling head.
  • the second step involves rotating the filling valve upon the filling head to place the container in communication with the gas containing portion of the reservoir so that a pressure will be established in the container corresponding to the pressure of the gas in the upper portion of the reservoir.
  • This stage of the filling cycle is termed the counterpressure stage and usually is relatively brief.
  • the next stage of the cycle is the filling stage and involves further rotating the filling valve so that liquid will flow from the lower portion of the reservoir to the container and, at the same time, the air and gas in the container will flow to the upper and gas containing portion of the reservoir. Because the flow of liquid into the container is solely due to the fact that the reservoir is positioned slightly above the container, the liquid will flow quietly and foaming will be minimized. The flow of liquid is stopped after a predetermined time or flow. Then the upper portion or headspace of the container may be placed in restricted communication with the atmosphere to enable at least a part of the gas in the headspace to be released before the container is lowered from the filling head. This operation is termed shifting.
  • gas is flowed from the upper portion of the reservoir through gas flow passages of the filling head so as to blow from those passages any liquid or foam which may have moved up into them during the filling stage or the shifting stage.
  • a beverage filling machine provided with a rotary filling table including fifty filling heads and a corresponding number of container supporting platforms is provided with an infeed dial to position the containers upon the supporting platforms.
  • Such a machine also includes an outfeed dial to remove the filled containers from the platforms.
  • the infeed and outfeed dials positioned as close as practicable to each other, the space required for the infeed and outfeed of containers will consume at least 35 of the 360 travel of the filling table. Hence, not more than 325 is available for the actual filling operations. Under normal practice, even the relatively brief counterpressure stage will require about 30 and if the bottle is snifted to atmosphere before it is lowered from the filling head, another 30 will be consumed. Therefore, only about 265 remains for the flow of liquid into the container. It is this interval which primarily determines the output of filled containers.
  • Beer or other carbonated liquids cannot be flowed too rapidly into a container. Therefore, it is not possible to increase the speed of rotary travel of the filling table United States Patent "ice to any substantial degree and simultaneously increase the rate of flow of the beer into the containers to thereby increase the output of filled containers. Because of this, in designing beverage filling machines of increased output, the design trend has been to increase the number of filling heads so that a greater number of containers will be filling at a given moment. However, any increase in the number of filling heads increases the cost of the machine as Well as the diameter of the filling table. Furthermore, any increase in the size of the filling table results in installation difficulties at plants wherein the floor space area and the layout of other equipment has been established to accommodate a filling machine of a given size.
  • An object of the present invention is to enable the output of filled containers to be increased without increasing the rate of liquid flow, the speed of travel of the filling table, or the diameter of the table.
  • the time required for the counterpressure stage is relatively brief as compared to the time required for the stage during which liquid is flowed into the container.
  • Most efforts heretofore made toward reducing the entire time'for the filling operation have been directed toward somehow reducing the period consumed by the liquid flow. In other words, little attention has been directed toward reducing the already brief period required for counterpressure, and for all practical purposes, that period has been regarded as established.
  • An object of the present invention is to increase the output of filled containers by reducing the time required for the counterpressure stage.
  • An additional object is to provide a filling head wherein the counterpressure passageway is of uniform and adequate size throughout its length.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a filling head of such design that at least the major length of the passage used for counterpressure flow is entirely separate from the passages used for other gas flow.
  • the counterpressure passage By having the major length of the counterpressure passage, and particularly its portion nearest the container, entirely independent of all other passages, the counterpressure passage can be of optimum size and minimum restriction, Therefore, full counterpressure can be established within a minimum period of time so that the space required for counterpressure can be reduced from the arc of 30 usually allotted for that purpose.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a filling head including a disk-type valve equipped with a system of passages including a separate counterpressure passage which are so designed that the rotation of the disk valve with respect to the filling head will not be increased beyond ordinary practice.
  • a filling head including a disk valve of the rotary type usually is operated to its various positions by means of trips spaced about the path of travel of the filling table, Some of these trips rotate the valve in one direction and the others rotate it in a reverse direction. Any design of flow passages which requires too great a rotation of the filling valve in one direction may result in positioning the valve at a difficult angle for operation by the trips.
  • an extra passage is provided in the filling head without increasing the travel and without having the layout of the passages of such character as to complicate manufacture.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a filling system of such character that liquid will not fall any great distance from the filling nozzle before contacting with the bottom of the container. As a result, possibility of foaming of the beverage at this point will be avoided.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement for mounting a disk valve of the rotary type upon a filling head.

  • the disk valve 44 is provided with two radially extending arms 120 and 122.
  • the position of these arms during neutral stage is shown in solid lines in Figure 2, and it will be observed that arm 120 extends vertically downwardly while arm 122 extends upwardly at an angle to the vertical.
  • counterpressure gas will flow from the upper portion of the reservoir as indicated by the arrows of Figure 8. That is, the gas will flow downwardly in tube 28 to enter groove 91 and bore 92, and thence into the disk valve passage 96 to the bore 98 in the body element and then downwardly through bore 100 and passage in adapter collar 52 to the gas chamber 66.
  • the above alignment of the passages and bores forming the counterpressure gas passageway also is shown in Figure 2. From chamber 66, the gas will flow downwardly through the spiral passage 64 into the container.
  • the above described counterpressure gas flow will exist for only a very brief interval of time. Except for the bore 92, groove 91 and tube 28, the passageway just described is not used for any purpose other than counterpressure flow to the container. Therefore, no liquid or foam can enter the passage at any time to block the same. This permits the interval allowed for counterpressure to be reduced to an even shorter extent than is customary. For example, with a fifty head filling machine, the arc of table rotation allotted for counterpressure can be of the order of 10. The travel and time thus saved on the counterpressure stage can be used for the liquid flow stage.
  • the speed of rotation of the machine filling table can be increased to move containers through a longer filling stage are of travel at a higher linear speed then heretofore, so that a greater output of containers will be obtained in a given period of time without any increase in the rate of flow of liquid into the containers.
  • Figure 9 illustrates the position which the disk valve passages occupy with respect to the body element passages during this stage.
  • the water passage 82 of the disk valve now bridges the body element bores or passages and 88. Therefore, the liquid in the lower portion of the reservoir will be free to flow by gravity from the liquid supply tube 26 into the bore 80, and by passages 82 and to the liquid tube 56 of the filling head.
  • any air originally in the container, as well as the counterpressure gas placed in the container during the counterpressure stage, will flow upwardly through the spiral passage 64 to the chamber 66 and then by passage 68 through the restricted-bore sleeve 72 to the passage 102 in the body element, then through aligned bores 104 and 114 to the leg 106 of passage in the valve disk.
  • the port 110 provided midway of passage 105 will be aligned with the bore 92 of body element 30 so that the gas may flow I through bore 92 and groove 91 :to the Egas'tube 28.
  • Liquid will flow into the container and gas will move from the container to the reservoir until the container is filled with liquid. Some liquid may move upwardly in the gas return passages, but such liquid will be disposed of an hereinafter described. It is extremely unusual for liquid or foam to rise as high as the passage 92 or any portion of tube 28. Therefore, these portions of the counterpressure passageway may be used for gas return.
  • the nozzle 56 contained no liquid at the beginning of the liquid flow stage, the first liquid flowing from the nozzle would have to flow or drop a substantial vertical distance before striking the container bottom and foaming would occur. Hence, the present arrangement avoids that possibility and quiet filling will be assured.
  • the disk valve 24 may be momentarily rotated in the direction of arrow R of Figure l to the Blow-Out Stage position, viz., the same stage as the Shifting Stage. This stage also is illustrated in Figure 10. With the passages in that position, gas from the upper portion of the reservoir can flow downwardly through tube 28, groove 91 and bore 92 into the disk valve passage 105. Thus, gas will move through the bore midway of passage 1G5 and down through passage 102 through restricted nipple 72 and the chamber 66 which is now open to atmosphere because the centering bell will be lowered.
  • the Blow-Out Stage will be very brief so that no substantial quantity of gas will be lost from the filling reservoir.
  • the upper arm 122 will contact with a second trip which will rotate the disk valve in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figure l to restore the passages to the neutral or closed position of Figure 7.
