Technical field
The present invention relates to the equipment of container handling.To still it is pointed out that this invention can be used for other processing equipment of container equally, such as the device of for example eluant container or the device of sterilization container with reference to device description the present invention of container filling.
Background technology
Filling apparatus must regularly be cleaned, especially when can is subject to the product of infected by microbes.Except through application examples such as foam cleaner, disinfectant, water and/or the analogue cleaning/sterilization outside face; Especially; Through using especially liquid media; Such as sodium hydroxide solution, acid, cold/hot water, disinfectant or other steams (steam) flushing, handle product-filled and/or less important media such as CO 2, vacuum or sterile air pipeline network.Except total loss (total loss) is cleaned, set up the whole bag of tricks that uses the scavenger circuit; In said total loss was cleaned, the medium of use was not that (in a circuit) moves but only once through pipeline network, for example get in the drainage system then in loop.
For this reason, based on the instance of rotary bottle filler,, supply with the cleaning media through interface, media rotary distributor, product accumulator tank (optional) and feed and pass product path to can part usually through the CIP device.Therefrom, through the pipeline that possibly on the can part, appear,,, media is fed back to the CIP device through the CIP return path with once more through the media rotary distributor such as the product circulation line that for example returns gas circuit (return gas paths) or hot filling.Therefore, when filling valve is opened, work in this loop, closes the filling exit of filling valve through the closure member of jar shape (pot-shaped) or plate shape.When filling valve was opened, this formed short circuit between product path and return path.
DE202006006149U1 discloses the filling apparatus of container.Here, the flush cover that can be pressed on the can part (rinsing cap) is provided,, independent rising and pivoted actuator is provided wherein for this purpose.Therefore this equipment have the individual drives of single motion, owing to used the additional parts that increases cost and handling labor, this is not beneficial.
EP0409798A1 discloses the strainer valve of filling apparatus, and virtual (dummy) wherein is provided the carrier of bottle.In the process of this can pattern,, support washing cup (rinsing beaker) with mode with respect to the filling exit lateral offset through the face cam on the filling valve housing.As far as cleaning model, face cam is driven and is discharged washing cup, therefore guides washing cup to pass through sleeve, through the pivot arm that drives container carrier cramp bar (holding rod) is pivoted to the engage position below the filling exit.But, this device design relative complex, so cost is high.
EP0785134A2 describes the method and apparatus of cleaning and filling machine.In this situation, eluant container is arranged in the fixing height in bottom of can carousel (carousel).Through gear and through being engaged on the saw-tooth ring in the gear, each engage position below disengaged orientation jointly, side by side pivots to filling exit of eluant container.But, the process relative complex that reduces here and rise the top of filling machine.
EP1577258 has described fill head and the washing equipment that is fit to this fill head equally.Here, rise filling valve, then at the lower pivot axis rotating virtual bottle of filling valve with certain altitude.But this design is relative complex equally, and needs the motion of filling valve and said virtual bottle in addition.
EP0574321A1 discloses the equipment with liquid filling container equally.Here, in order to clean filling exit, the container carrier that nestles up it through compacting is closed the latter.Therefore container carrier self serves as the flushing plate.
WO2009/004500A1 has described the filling valve of bottle placer.Here, reduce the flushing plate, below filling exit,, and nestle up the flushing plate of filling exit through the spring force extruding with the mode pivoted flushing plate of cam-controlled with the mode of cam-controlled.In non-position engaged, green phase spring force together makes the braking of flushing plate.Therefore mechanism independent, that realize the upward movement of flushing plate is provided here.In addition, the pivot means of flushing plate directly is close to filling exit and arranges, and this is not beneficial equally from health position.
DE10359779B4 discloses the can part of bottle placer.Here, radial displaceable flushing plate is arranged on the container carrier.In flushing process, promote to nestle up this container carrier of can part, below filling valve, move radially the flushing plate simultaneously.In this equipment, therefore, provide guiding thing and support to the flushing plate, this makes the design relative complex of container carrier.In addition, adopt this step, make the spatter property of container carrier more difficult equally.In addition, the said vesse carrier must bear unique strength and the contact pressure that the weight of the container of can produces usually.Then, if through container carrier, compacting nestles up the flushing plate of can part, and in cleaning process, in order also to block filling exit with the leak free mode, the latter must stand greater than system pressure so.But this load is far above the load of normal can pattern.In addition, the flushing plate is not to be suitable for very much probe or to return the can part that flue stretches out from below.

The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is the scheme drawing according to the equipment 100 of prior art.Here, this comprises can part 102, and the lower end that nestles up said can part 102 is suppressed with cover panel 106, such as for example so-called CIP lid.In cleaning model, in this situation, irrigation can pass filling valve and back get in the pipe blow-through.
The actuating device of the pivotal movement of the cover panel 106 below label 108 expressions the causing can part 102.Here, this pivoted takes place with respect to axle X.In this situation, label 112 expressions are for example from following, and compacting nestles up the rising/decline actuator of the cover panel of can part 102.
Label 110 is illustrated in the normal manipulation mode, and compacting nestles up another rising and the following descending mechanism of the container 10 (only summary demonstration) of can part.But in the process of cleaning model, this mechanism 110 does not have effect for mobile cover panel 106.
Fig. 2 is the equipment 1 that is used for container handling according to of the present invention.Be close to filling valve housing 3 and be equipped with vertical basically portable bar or pilot bar 16, on said portable bar or the pilot bar 16, the cover panel 6 that is equipped with filling exit on the side arm 32 (below be also referred to as closure member).In the process of can pattern, support pilot bar 16 through gigback (spring, pneumatic unit etc.) in position that maybe be minimum, said gigback is not shown.This makes is becoming possibility with respect to the bottom level height or with respect to the closure member that the height of filling exit 2a remains on disengaged orientation always, and the pivoted that does not contact at said height and miscellaneous part is possible.But in the process of can pattern, the lower end of pilot bar 16 does not contact with container carrier 25.Sealing member 6a possibly be arranged on the closure member 6.Closure member 6 possibly be jar shape or cup-shaped or possibly preferably be configured to wash plate.In jar shape or cup-shaped situation, the mechanism of self-emptying is provided preferably on closure member 6.The shape of closure member depends on the bulking system of use basically.
As far as cleaning process, through pivot means pilot bar 16 is pivoted to engage position from disengaged orientation effectively around the X axle, therefore, with closure member bring to filling exit or with sealed opening is alignd (alignment).Then container carrier 25 is moved to position higher in the process than can pattern.Therefore, container carrier 25 touch pilot bar 16 and with the gigback latter that rises on the contrary.Therefore, compacting nestles up the closure member of filling exit 2a.As far as cleaning model, the calculation of pressure the when contact pressure of the minimum that rising mechanism must use appears at the can part 2 (for example 4 crust) from cleaning media is calculated to the strength of pressed pilot bar 16 from returning part, adds the for example safety factor of 1 crust.
It should be noted that the hold-down arm 32 of closure member 6 or closure member preferably is not attached to the lower end of pilot bar 16.Rely on the lower end of pilot bar 16 and this distance between hold-down arm/closure member 6, avoided long-distance the moving that there is no need from minimum height and position to sealing station.Also avoided self suppressing the situation of the closure member 6 that nestles up filling valve through container carrier 34 there, for example through neck loading and unloading clamp (neck handling clamp).Because pressing jig can be crooked, so the synchronous transfer/reception (for example at the inlet/outlet star gear) of supporting (secure hold) and/or container filling safely of container filling no longer is possible.The so-called negative neck charge and discharge operations (passive neck handling) that does not have anchor clamps uses simple container neck supporter 28 to be made in a large number by the sheet metal thickness of relative thin, therefore reduces the production and the manufacturing cost of bottle placer.Complexity and the cost safeguarding and keep in repair have been reduced equally.
The drive spindle of label 36 expression mobile containers carriers 25.Label 46 expressions are used to control the valve gear of the distribution of the liquid that comes from the can part, such as cone valve.This cone valve is movably on the direction of X axle.
Each can part 2 is assigned pilot bar 16.Pilot bar 16 preferably, but optionally with respect to the connection lead lateral offset between the S. A. of the mid point of filling exit 2a and can carousel.It preferably is rotatably installed on the valve carrier 18.Preferably, through bellows (bellows), sealing arrangement or analogue, pilot bar in the bottom or in top and bottom alternatively or even only seal from the valve carrier at the top.When the valve carrier 18 was the isolator wall of part, in order to stop dirt in circular clearance accumulation and/or in order to ensure not having impurity or bacterium to be sent to filling exit through the slit, this sealing was especially useful.
Preferably, the pivot means of at least one closure member 6, just the rotating mechanism of at least one pilot bar 16 is arranged on the valve carrier 18.Therefore, in pouring process, therefore it avoid dirt not at product-filled jeting area.This point is even more important in the situation of the bottle placer of isolator type because the valve carrier 18 is usually as the isolator wall of part, and therefore rotating mechanism outside the can zone of health.
Preferably, public rotating driver is used to be arranged in the pilot bar separately 16 of all the can parts 2 on the carousel.Therefore therefore, the pivoted in the time of closure member or the rotation of pilot bar are possible, and when preparing for cleaning process, to save time be possible.One section pivoted that connects one group of one section/one winding also possibly implemented in substitutability ground.For this reason, it is useful using a plurality of each rotating mechanism of distributing to a plurality of pilot bars 16.Operable rotating mechanism is (servomotor, actuator compressed-air controlled, hydraulic pressure, magnetic force have sprocket gear, leverage of gear etc.) of knowing to those skilled in the art.Preferably, the pivot means of use is at engagement and/or disengaged orientation, especially preferably in position, two stationkeeping angles.
Preferably, the gigback of pilot bar is arranged on the valve carrier 18 or is implanted among the latter, and said gigback keeps pilot bar 16 its preferred minimum position (not shown) outside cleaning model.This gigback possibly be simple permanent elasticity part (a for example spring), said elastic component with the direction of the rotating shaft parallel of carousel on to pressed pilot bar 16.Electronic driver, compressed-air controlled, hydraulic pressure or magnetic force mechanism or weight be possible equally.Especially in the latter's situation, because this is negative the driving, what must guarantee is that pilot bar slides through valve gear 18 (said passage possibly appear with the leak free swivel bearing) with the frictionless mode as far as possible in passage 19.Preferably, to be used to be arranged in each pilot bar 16 of all can parts on the carousel be possible equally for public gigback.
Preferably, container carrier 25 does not contact with pilot bar 16 in the process of can pattern.But, substitutability ground, each also rising has the pilot bar 16 of closure member 6 and suppresses the container filling that nestles up filling exit is possible.But, because these at balance position, only promote them slightly and they are not brought to and the filling exit sealing contact.Because compare quantity (by a multiple) increase at double of actuator with previous mode, and therefore the fatigue of material phenomenon possibly occur, gigback must be adapted to this situation.
Adopt special preferably, gigback rises to certain degree so that in the process of can pattern with pilot bar 16, and directly below the valve carrier 18, the mid point through filling exit 2a supports closure member 6 radially in border circular areas (circle).Therefore, keep the elevated areas of the lower end of pilot bar 16 away from container carrier 25, so that in the process of can pattern, at any time not taking place in time between container carrier 25 and the pilot bar 16, contact is possible.Optionally no longer be essential than moving in the mobile bigger cleaning model process in the can mode process then.Label 12 expression causing portable bar 16 and therefore second actuating device of the rising of cover panel.
Label 12 is illustrated in vertical L and causes portable bar and therefore second actuating device of the rising of cover panel 6.Here, vertical L of container is equivalent to the vertical of pilot bar basically.Label 6a representes to be arranged in the sealing member on the closure member 6.
Each can part 2 is assigned the container carrier 25 of the rising mechanism 12 with it.(in the situation of linearity, for example arrange the shape filling machine, public rising mechanism also possibly be used for an irrigation and drainage piece installing.) the present invention adopts neck to load and unload (handling) and the base loading and unloading are worked.In the situation of neck loading and unloading, the plastic bottle that container filling is especially made by PET is bearing in bottle placer below the neck ring usually.For this reason, use in the neck loading and unloading clamp of grip containers or the notch portion (cutout) that bottleneck is supported on container carrier (negative neck loads).
In the situation of base loading and unloading, container filling (glass/plastic bottle, jar or analogue) is positioned at platform and on the container filling base, correspondingly supports container filling.Especially in the situation of base loading and unloading, the centering clock possibly be arranged between vessel port and the dispense aperture, and said centering clock makes the container filling centering adjustment below filling exit 2a reliably, and in the process of upward movement, supports said container in case push over.Bottleneck provides near the sealing of centering below the clock, and provides near top sealing around the zone of filling exit.
In the situation of neck loading and unloading, preferably, through two transversely arranged elevating lever rising container carriers 25, said elevating lever preferably extends from container carrier 25 basically vertically upward.Preferably, through the valve carrier, be parallel to the elevating lever on can valve shaft guiding filling valve 2 both sides.Rising mechanism, such as for example raising (run-up) roller, compression cylinder, hydraulic actuating cylinder, electrical motor or magnetic driver, possibly be arranged in elevating lever another (on) end.Can also use mechanical movement means, such as leverage or (saw teeth bars) gear mechanism.(compressed-air controlled/hydraulic pressure/electricity/magnetic force) preferably act on container carrier 25 from below be possible in the situation of neck loading and unloading to the rising cylinder equally and be preferred the use in the situation of base loading and unloading.
Centering and/or locations 24 (common second joggle piece) preferably are arranged on the container carrier 25 radially; Said centering and/or locations 24 pass mid point and pilot bar 16 calibrations of filling exit 2a in border circular areas; Preferably, said centering and/or locations 24 are the shapes with the shape complementarity of the lower end 22 of pilot bar 16.In other words, if locations 24 has hemispherical shape, the lower end of pilot bar 16 is configured to the hollow hemisphere so.In the time will suppressing the closure member 6 that nestles up filling exit 2a; This centering/locations 24 serves as the attachment point of pilot bar 16 on the one hand, is used to be implemented in the situation that there pilot bar 16 is placed on the identical point on the container carrier 25 usually and therefore also correctly locatees closure member 6 on the other hand.
In addition, rely on locations 24, in case pivoted closure member 6, can be with mode fixed pivot axi angular position of rotation below filling exit 2a of accurate calibration.Consume in the situation of media such as pressurized air or electric energy at pivot means, this is useful.After the pivoted process, owing to keep the location through the locations 24 and the cooperation of pilot bar end 22 at end position, these mechanisms can (automatically) convert into subsequent use then.
Do not have the fixing of unspecified angle, just have pure centering function, locations preferably is configured to hemisphere, circular cone or truncated cone.Indenture in these shapes on container carrier is possible equally, and wherein this shape is not preferably opened in the bottom so that have media or dirt can in this groove, accumulate (cleaning then! ).Alternatively, also possibly present two or more joggle pieces, said joggle piece is provided on the little horizontal carrier (not shown) of elevating lever lower end.Laterally carrier or with the mode of rotational fixation be connected with pilot bar 16 and when the latter rotates and the latter locate, perhaps it is rotatably arranged.In this situation, possibly preferably, guide it internally radially, therefore guarantee the accurate blockade of corresponding two or more locationss in vertical direction.Therefore realize angle fixing of closure member.
Substitutability ground, for the purpose of fixed angle, locations 24 also possibly maybe possibly roll (mill) with arbitrary shape K/UP and go in the container carrier.Flute profile (laterally, vertically), cross, rhombus, triangle or star are possible.For prior to before blocking the time be engraved in and realize accurate guiding in the reduction process of pilot bar, preferably, the sidewall section of locations 24 tilt (except in hemispheroidal situation).
