The second distribution centre is provided either on the first dispensing head or on a second dispensing head distinct from the first one.
Description
WO 98/05417 PCTil'r97/00203 Dispensinq machine for fluid products The object of the present invention is a dispensing machine for fluid products, in particular but not exclusively for colora,)ls and the like for the formulation of var"ishes and similar according to the prea,llble of the principal claim.
This machine is mainly studied for the dispensing of two (or more) different series of products, for example, products using v~/ater as their carrier (herein after indicated as water-based products or colorants), products using various types ofsolvents as their carrier (herein after indica~ed as solvent-based products or colorants) or products using as their carrier fluids compatible v~/ith both water and solvents (herein after indicated as universal products or colorants). With the general term "products" it is understood to comprise colorants, pigments, inks, and also fluid basis for varnishes and similar of any of the three mentioned types.
The present invention may nevertheless be used to handle and dispense various kinds of fluids other than those previously indicated, in many fields of the industry, for example in the food, chemical, ,charl,laceutical industries and many others.
In the known realisations, when you wish to dispense water and solvent based products with one single machine not a few problems arise which are frequently the cause of serious inconveniences. In fact, the known machines have either a plurality of moveable carousel canisters as to the distribution position and which are therefore enabled to dispense one single product at the time with a remarkable loss of time and productivity, or one single distribution centre in which the piping and all dispensing nozles are converged, linked up to the respective dispensing members (pumps and dosing electrovalves). To avoid that, betv~/een one dispensing and the other, the products which are not frequently dispensed get dried, obstructing or hov~lever inhibiting the correct functioning of the collesponding dispensing centre, it is usually provided a nozle humidifier device fitted to plug the collespo,lding distribution centre in order to maintain a status of saturated vapour at the outlet of the nozles. For example, such device is described in the co-pending patent application no. Ml96A000601 of the same .
W 0 98/05417 rCT~1~7/00203 2 ~ .
~ppli~nt. This humidifier device can be further connected to punching devices and cap-pluggers as described in the applicant's co-pending patent application no. BO95A000591. Moreover, it is possible to ~-ssoci~te mechanical devices or other kinds thereof for the hole cer,l, iny on the can into which the product is to be dispensed.
The v~ater-based, the solvent-based or the universal products neve,ll,eless havedirrerenl drying times and it is thus possible that a humidifier device calibrated to avoid the drying of the water-based products does not result to be efficient enough to carr,v out the same task with the solvent-based or universal products and vice versa.
Moreover, the mixture bet\~veen water-based, solvent-based and universal products is a potential pollution or con~ar"ination cause of the dispensed products. For example, drops may form at the nozle of a product (for example solvent) which then are l(a,lsrer,ed into the container (can) destined to conlai,l the dispensed product when a ~;Jirrerenl product is dispensed (for example water) through the adjacel,l nozle. The pollution or conlalllination that results from it can i" e~arably damage the paint altering both the chemical-physical and colo, i"~el, ic characteristics.
Today, to avoid these inconveniences it is opportune and advisable to use two ormore separate disper,si,lg machines, one for each typology of product to dispense. However, the solution is too expensive for the medium-small cuslomers,where dispensed quantities and/or available space do not justif,v the adoption of more than one dispensi"g machine. Moreover, this solution does not permit to obtain optimum productivity levels.
The problem at the heart of this invention is to provide a dispensing machine structurally and functionally conceived to enable the overcoming of all complained inconveniences v~/ith rererence to the above mentioned known technique.
WO 98/0S417 PCT/ilg7/00203 3 ~-This problem is solved by the invention by means of a machine realised accordingto the appe"ded claims.
The use of the present invention advanlageously allov~/s to duplicate (or multiply depending on the actual number of dispensing heads andlor dispensi"g celllles) the hourly production of a certain fluid product. In case of dispensation of coloured paints and va" ,ishes and the like the invention thus allov~/s to produce at the same time two (or more) containers v~/ith the same coloured fluid or with different coloured fluids). Ful Iller",ore the doubled or multiplied hourly production capacily is achieved v~/ithout prejudice to the overall costs because it is onlyneeded a single machine bearing single computing unit and electronic control devices the machine being easily integrated in a plant having a single conveyingline or where limitation in space is a major concerrl. It also an advanlaye of the invention the fact that the delivery and shipping costs of the machine are comparable to those of a traditionally knov~m machine of lower production capacily. A machine according to the present invention also requires no more than a single operator devoted thereto.
In the event that incoillpalible fluids are to be dispensed as in the case of v~ater-based and solvent-based products it is possible to simply avoid any remotely possible contami,-ation which might occur by dedicating each one of the dispensing heads or dispensing ce"l,es to each one of said incompatible fluids.
This also col 1~, ibutes to eliminate any possible human error as far as the operalor is concer"ed since distinct dispensing l"e",bers are clearly allocated which canalso be physically marked labelled or however unmistakably identified.
In the event that the fluid-receiving containers have small openings small dispensing heads and/or dispensing centres are to be prerer,ed. The presenl invention allows a user to split the fluids to be dispensed into two or more groups vvhich converge to dirrererlt and separaled heads or centres however retaining the adval)lages of a controlling the dispensing operations by means of a single control unit processor and user interface.
WO 98/05417 PCTilT97/00203 4 ~ _ Naturally, the principle of the present invention is applicable to- many kinds of dispensing macl,ines, including those specifically designed to handle dangerous fluids, such as those fluid which are fla"",lable or explosive, these machine being known as Uexplosion proof' ",acl,i,-es.
The .;l ,a~a~e, istics and the advanla~es of the invention will result better from the ~let-;!cd des~;, iption that follo~,vs of a pr~re"~d example of a realisation illustrated, for merely indicative and non-limiting purposes, with reference to the allached dra~ngs, in which:
- figure 1 is a schematic front view of a dispensing machine according to the present invention;
- figure 2 a side view of the same machine of figure 1;
- figure 3 is a scl,e",dlic top viewof the machine of the previous figures;
- figure 4 is a schematic enlarged scale view of one of the two distribution ce"l~es of the machine of the previous figures.
In the figures, reference numeral 1 globally indicates a dispensing machine which is re~lised according to the present invention. In an already known v~/ay machine 1 comprises a framework 2 with a clispe"sing head 3 that overtops a distribution area of one or more products in a liquid state in a container (R and R').
Associated with the machine there is a processing unit v~ith a relevant user inle, race 4 with a video display ~ and a keyboard 6. This processing unit and the above l"enlioned ~ccessories thereof are needed to control the plurality of dosing pumps all indicated by 7 and the relevant electrovalves 8 to dose the product distribution in a way which will be clarified here after.
The only dispel~sing head 3 is provided with a first and second dispensing centre 10a,b respectively structurally identical, but physically sepa,~le and at some WO 98/05417 PCTilT97/00203 ~lislance. Naturally, the structural details of the machine may vary v~/idely within the framev"ork of the present invention which also covers machines having a greater number of dispe"si"g ce,llles, the two or more di:,pel,sing centres being placed on either the same single dispe-~sing head, or even on dirrerent d;spel ,sing heads. In tum, should the ",acl,i"e be equipped with more than one d;spensing head, these heads may be places at any distance the one from the others, lined on the front of the ",acl,ine, as well as - acco,di,1g to aller"dli./e configu,dlions and e",bodi",ents - one head on the front and the other on the rear side of the machine body, and more generally on opposite sides of the n)achine body.
In every dispensing centre 10a,b a respective plurality of nozles 11 are converged, which are connected to the respective electrovalves 8 by means of pipings 12. The structure of each dispensing centre is known, for example the type desclibed in the patent application no. Ml96A000601, and preferably comprises a respective and independent support 13 for the nozles 11 (in the example defined by the free extremities of the corresponding pipings 12) and a respective and indepel ,dent humidifier device v"ith relevant cap, altogether indicated v~/ith 14, of a known type. Moreover, each distribution centre can co,),~,rise a punching device and/or a plugging device of the type described in the co-pending patent application no. BO95A000591 in Italy, the co,1tenl of which ishereby expressly incorporated.
In this v~/ay it is possible to dispense, by means of the single and col"",on d,spensing head 3, two or more dirrerenl series of products, for example v~/ater-and solvent-based ones, through either the one or the other of the tv~/o dispensing centres 10a,b or even simultaneously, in two dir~erenl containers, exploiting for the other functions the common resources of the same machine 1, included also the processing unit with the control system and the user inlel race.
In this way the invention solves the problem with a simple and col"pacl macl)ine, able to guarantee the non-pollution between dispensed products of a dirrere,)l W O 98/05417 PCTnT97100203 nature and also ca~able to prolect in a optimum v~/ay the dispensing nozles of products of difrere, 1I nature from possi~le drying of the dispensed product.
Moreover it allov"s to dispe,)se simullaneously the produats of the same nature in the same conta;ner or simult~.,eously products of a dirrer~"t nature in two or various con~ainers ofreri,~g in this v,lay a high productivity level \,vithout cost increase.
It is under~lood that it is likewise possible to equip the ~"acl,ine u/ith further dispensi"g centres within the limits set by the co"li,lgent needs and by the overall di."ensions thereof.
