Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the equipment of container handling.With reference to device description the present invention of container filling, but it is pointed out that this invention equally can be for other processing equipment of container, such as the device of for example eluant container or the device of sterilization container.
Background technology
Necessary periodic cleaning filling apparatus, especially in the time of the filling product that is subject to infected by microbes.Except cleaning/sterilize outside face as foam cleaner, disinfectant, water and/or analogue by application examples, in particular, by using especially liquid media, such as sodium hydroxide solution, acid, cold/hot water, disinfectant or other steams (steam) rinse, process product-filled and/or less important medium 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 scavenger circuit; In described total loss is cleaned, the medium of use is not that (in a circuit) moves but only once by pipeline network, then for example enter in drainage system in loop.
For this reason, based on the example of rotary bottle filler, conventionally by CIP device, supply with and clean medium through extremely filling, product path through interface, medium rotary distributor, product accumulator tank (optionally) and feed pipeline.Therefrom, by the pipeline that may present on filling, such as for example returning to the product circulation line of gas circuit (return gas paths) or hot filling, by CIP return path with again by medium rotary distributor, medium is fed back to CIP device.Therefore, in the time that filling valve is opened, work in this loop, closes the filling exit of filling valve by the closure member of tank shape (pot-shaped) or plate shape.In the time that filling valve is opened, this forms short circuit between product path and return path.
DE202006006149U1 discloses the filling apparatus of container.Here, provide the flush cover that can be pressed on filling (rinsing cap), wherein for this purpose, provide independent rising and pivot rotary driver.Therefore this equipment have the independent actuator of single motion, and owing to having used the extra parts that increase cost and handling labor, this is not beneficial.
EP0409798A1 discloses the strainer valve of filling apparatus, and virtual (dummy) carrier of bottle is wherein provided.In the process of this filling pattern, by the face cam on filling valve housing, to support washing cup (rinsing beaker) with respect to the mode of filling exit lateral offset.For cleaning model, face cam is driven and is discharged washing cup, therefore guides washing cup to pass through sleeve, by the pivot arm driving, container carrier cramp bar (holding rod) is pivoted to the engage position below filling exit.But, this equipment design relative complex, therefore 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 filling carousel (carousel).By gear and by being engaged on the saw-tooth ring in gear, eluant container is the engage position below disengaged orientation jointly, side by side pivots to filling exit respectively.But, reduce here and rise the process relative complex on the top of filling machine.
EP1577258 has described equally filling head and has been applicable to the washing equipment of this filling head.Here, rise filling valve with certain altitude, then at the lower pivot axis rotating virtual bottle of filling valve.But this design is relative complex equally, and need in addition the motion of filling valve and described virtual bottle.
EP0574321A1 discloses the equipment with liquid filling container equally.Here,, in order to clean filling exit, the container carrier that nestles up it by compacting is closed the latter.Therefore container carrier self serves as flushing plate.
WO2009/004500A1 has described the filling valve of bottle placer.Here, reduce flushing plate in the mode of cam control, below filling exit, rotate and rinse plate with the mode pivot of cam control, and push the flushing plate that nestles up filling exit by spring force.In the position of non-engagement, make to rinse plate braking by identical spring force.Therefore mechanism independent, that realize the upward movement of rinsing plate is provided here.In addition, the pivot means that rinses plate is directly close to filling exit and arranges, and from health position, this is not beneficial equally.
DE10359779B4 discloses filling of bottle placer.Here, radial displaceable flushing plate is arranged on container carrier.In flushing process, promote to nestle up this container carrier of filling, below filling valve, move radially flushing plate simultaneously.In this equipment, therefore, provide guiding thing and support to rinsing plate, this makes the design relative complex of container carrier.In addition, adopt this step, make equally the spatter property of container carrier more difficult.In addition, said vesse carrier must bear unique strength and the contact of the weight generation of filling container conventionally.Then, if by container carrier, compacting nestles up the flushing plate of filling, and in cleaning process, in order also to block filling exit in the mode of sealing, the latter must stand to be greater than system pressure so.But this load is far above the load of normal filling pattern.In addition, rinsing plate is not to be very suitable for probe or to return to filling that flue stretches out from below.

Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 is according to the schematic diagram of the equipment 100 of prior art.Here, this comprises filling 102, and the lower end that nestles up described filling 102 is suppressed with cover panel 106, such as for example so-called CIP lid.In cleaning model, in this situation, irrigation can back enter in pipe blow-through through filling valve.
Fig. 2 is according to the equipment 1 for the treatment of container of the present invention.Be close to filling valve housing 3 and be equipped with substantially vertical portable bar or pilot bar 16, on described portable bar or pilot bar 16, be equipped with the cover panel 6 (below also referred to as closure member) of filling exit on side arm 32.In the process of filling pattern, support pilot bar 16 by gigback (spring, pneumatic unit etc.) in position that may be minimum, described gigback is not shown.This makes becoming possibility with respect to bottom level height or with respect to the closure member that the height of filling exit 2a remains on disengaged orientation always, and it is possible that the pivot not contacting with miscellaneous part at described height rotates.But in the process of filling pattern, the lower end of pilot bar 16 does not contact with container carrier 25.Sealing member 6a may be arranged on closure member 6.Closure member 6 may be tank shape or cup-shaped or may preferably be configured to rinse plate.In tank shape or cup-shaped situation, on closure member 6, preferably provide oneself emptying mechanism.The shape of closure member depends on the bulking system of use substantially.
For cleaning process, by pivot means, pilot bar 16 is pivoted to engage position from disengaged orientation effectively around X-axis, therefore, by closure member bring to filling exit or with by sealing register (alignment).Then container carrier 25 is moved to than position higher in the process of filling pattern.Therefore, container carrier 25 touch pilot bar 16 and with the gigback the latter that rises on the contrary.Therefore, compacting nestles up the closure member of filling exit 2a.For cleaning model, calculation of pressure when the minimum contact that lifting mechanism must be applied for example appears at, filling 2 (4 bar) from cleaning medium, suppress the strength of pilot bar 16 from returning to part downwards and calculate, add for example safety factor of 1 bar.
It should be noted, the hold-down arm 32 of closure member 6 or closure member is not preferably attached to the lower end of pilot bar 16.Rely on this distance between lower end and the hold-down arm/closure member 6 of pilot bar 16, avoided the long-distance movement there is no need from minimum height and position to sealing station.Also avoid the situation of self suppressing the closure member 6 that nestles up filling valve by container carrier 34 there, for example, by neck loading and unloading clamp (neck handling clamp).Because pressing jig can be bending, therefore the safety supporting (secure hold) of container filling and/or the synchronous transfer/reception (for example, at inlet/outlet star gear) of container filling are no longer possible.The so-called negative neck charge and discharge operations (passive neck handling) without fixture, uses simple container neck supporter 28 to be manufactured in a large number by the sheet metal thickness of relative thin, therefore reduces production and the manufacturing cost of bottle placer.Complexity and the cost of maintenance are reduced equally.
Label 36 represents the drive spindle of mobile containers carrier 25.Label 46 represents the valve gear of the distribution for controlling the liquid that comes from filling, such as cone valve.This cone valve is movably in the direction of X-axis.
Each filling 2 is assigned pilot bar 16.Pilot bar 16 preferably, but optionally with respect to the connection lead lateral offset between the mid point of filling exit 2a and the S. A. of filling carousel.It is preferably rotatably installed on valve carrier 18.Preferably, by bellows (bellows), sealing arrangement or analogue, pilot bar seals from valve carrier at top alternatively or even only in bottom or at top and bottom.In the time that valve carrier 18 is 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 by gap, this sealing is especially useful.
Preferably, the pivot means of at least one closure member 6, namely the rotating mechanism of at least one pilot bar 16 is arranged on valve carrier 18.Therefore,, in pouring process, it,, not at product-filled jeting area, therefore avoids dirt.In the situation of the bottle placer of isolator type, this point is even more important because valve carrier 18 is typically used as the isolator wall of part, and therefore rotating mechanism outside the filling region of health.
Preferably, public rotating driver is for being arranged in the pilot bar separately 16 of all filling 2 on carousel.Therefore, pivot when closure member rotates or the rotation of pilot bar is possible, and therefore in the time preparing for cleaning process, to save time be possible.Alternatively, also may implement one section connect one section/mono-group connect one group pivot rotate.For this reason, it is useful using multiple each rotating mechanisms of distributing to multiple pilot bars 16.Operable rotating mechanism is (servomotor, pneumatic, actuator hydraulic pressure, magnetic force, the cogged sprocket gear of tool, leverages etc.) of knowing to those skilled in the art.Preferably, the pivot means of use is at engagement and/or disengaged orientation, especially preferably at two position fixed angular positions.
Preferably, the gigback of pilot bar is arranged on valve carrier 18 or is implanted in the latter, and described gigback keeps pilot bar 16 its preferred minimum position (not shown) outside cleaning model.This gigback may be simple permanent elasticity part (for example spring), and described elastic component is suppressed pilot bar 16 downwards in the direction parallel with the S. A. of carousel.Electronic driver, pneumatic, hydraulic pressure or magnetic force mechanism or weight are possible equally.In the latter's situation, because this is negative driving, what must guarantee is that pilot bar slides through valve gear 18 (described passage may present with the swivel bearing of sealing) as far as possible in passage 19 in frictionless mode in particular.Preferably, public gigback is possible for filling all each pilot bar 16 being arranged on carousel equally.
Preferably, container carrier 25 does not contact with pilot bar 16 in the process of filling pattern.But, alternatively, each also rise that to have the container filling that the pilot bar 16 of closure member 6 and compacting nestle up filling exit be possible.But, because these are at balance position, only slightly promote them and they do not brought to filling exit sealing and contact.Due to quantity (by a multiple) increase at double of actuator compared with previous mode, and therefore may occur fatigue of material phenomenon, gigback must be adapted to this situation.
Adopt especially preferably, gigback rises to certain degree so that in the process of filling pattern by pilot bar 16, directly, below valve carrier 18, supports radially closure member 6 by the mid point of filling exit 2a in border circular areas (circle).Therefore, keep the lower end of pilot bar 16 away from the elevated areas of container carrier 25, so that in the process of filling pattern, it is possible that contact in time does not at any time occur between container carrier 25 and pilot bar 16.Then be no longer optionally essential than the movement in the larger cleaning model process of the movement in filling mode process.Label 12 represents to cause portable bar 16 and therefore the second actuating device of the rising of cover panel.
Label 12 is illustrated in longitudinal L and causes portable bar and therefore the second actuating device of the rising of cover panel 6.Here, longitudinal L of container is equivalent to the longitudinal of pilot bar substantially.Label 6a represents to be arranged in the sealing member on closure member 6.
Each filling 2 container carrier 25 that is assigned the lifting mechanism 12 with it.(in linear situation, for example, arrange shape filling machine, public lifting mechanism also may be used for an irrigation and drainage piece installing.) the present invention adopts neck to load and unload (handling) and base handling are worked.In the situation of neck handling, the plastic bottle that container filling is especially made by PET is conventionally bearing in below neck ring in bottle placer.For this reason, use the neck loading and unloading clamp of grip containers or bottleneck to be supported in the cut out portion (cutout) of container carrier (negative neck loads).
In the situation of base handling, container filling (glass/plastic bottle, jar or analogue) is positioned at platform and on container filling base, correspondingly supports container filling.In the situation of base handling, centering clock may be arranged between vessel port and dispense aperture in particular, and described centering clock makes the container filling centering adjustment below filling exit 2a reliably, and supports described container in case push in the process of upward movement.Bottleneck provides the sealing below clock near centering, and the sealing near is above provided around the region of filling exit.
In the situation of neck handling, preferably, by two transversely arranged elevating lever rising container carriers 25, described elevating lever preferably extends substantially vertically upward from container carrier 25.Preferably, by valve carrier, be parallel to the elevating lever on filling valve shaft guiding filling valve 2 both sides.Lifting mechanism, such as for example raising (run-up) roller, compression cylinder, hydraulic actuating cylinder, electrical motor or magnetic driver, may be arranged in elevating lever another (on) end.Can also use mechanical movement means, such as leverage or (saw teeth bars) gear mechanism.(pneumatic/hydraulic pressure/electricity/magnetic force) preferably act on container carrier 25 from below be possible equally to rising cylinder in the situation of neck handling and in the situation of base handling, be preferably to use.
Centering and/or locations 24 (common the second joggle piece) are preferably arranged on container carrier 25 radially, described centering and/or locations 24 mid point and the pilot bar 16 through filling exit 2a in border circular areas calibrated, preferably, described centering and/or locations 24 are and the shape of 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 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 conventionally placed on the identical point on container carrier 25 and therefore also correctly locates the situation of closure member 6 on the other hand for realizing pilot bar 16 there.
In addition, rely on locations 24, once pivot rotates closure member 6, can be with the mode of accurate calibration fixed pivot axi angular position of rotation below filling exit 2a.Consume in the situation of medium such as pressurized air or electric energy at pivot means, this is useful.After pivot rotation process, owing to maintaining location by locations 24 and the cooperation of pilot bar end 22 at end position, then these mechanisms can (automatically) be converted to for subsequent use.
There is no the fixing of unspecified angle, namely have pure centering function, locations is preferably configured to hemisphere, circular cone or truncated cone.Indenture in these shapes on container carrier is possible equally, and wherein then this shape is not preferably opened in bottom to have medium or dirt can accumulate (cleaning in this groove! ).As an alternative, also may present two or more joggle pieces, described joggle piece is provided on the little horizontal carrier (not shown) of elevating lever lower end.Laterally carrier or with rotate that fixing mode is connected with pilot bar 16 and in the time that the latter rotates and the latter locate, or it is rotatably arranged.In this situation, may be in the vertical direction, preferably, from inner radiation shape guide it, therefore guarantee the accurate blockade of corresponding two or more locationss.Therefore realize angle fixing of closure member.
Alternatively, for the fixing object of angle, locations 24 also may maybe may roll (mill) with arbitrary shape K/UP and enter in container carrier.Flute profile (laterally, longitudinally), cross, rhombus, triangle or star are possible.For prior to before blocking time realize accurate guiding in being engraved in the reduction process of pilot bar, preferably, the sidewall section of locations 24 tilt (except in hemispheroidal situation).
A special embodiment of locations 24 is that so consequently locations 24 and pilot bar end 22 are configured to inner thread piece and external thread piece in complementary mode.In this situation, before rising prior to container carrier 25, pilot bar 16 can not rotate by pivot, but only by two cooperations that are accurately adapted to screw thread each other, rotates by the rising generation pivot of container carrier 25.Can omit the rotating driver of pilot bar 16.Should guarantee, for screw thread is selected the combination of materials relative to each other easily sliding.For example by suitable coating, such as PTFE, this is also possible.In this embodiment, be equal to the terminal that (even up) occurs in upward movement owing to rotatablely moving, and nestle up filling exit 2a and not only axially suppress closure member, therefore preferably, with the mode of the degree of dip corresponding to screw thread cut sth. askew that closure member 6 sealing touches, around the region of filling exit 2a, regulate closure member 6 from sealing surfaces with it with consistent mode comformability equally.
In all embodiment, optionally monitor the possible position of closure member 16 (engagement/non-engagement) by for example approach switch.Preferably, in order to ensure that closure member can not destroy ongoing filling pattern, monitoring disengaged orientation.
In the process of cleaning process, in order to alleviate the load on the rising actuator of container carrier, be possible by suitable mechanism's (not shown) at pressing position fixed closed part or container carrier or pilot bar.Therefore, the strength that cleaning pressure causes is born by this mechanism, alleviates the load on container carrier or on its rising actuator.
Therefore it is possible, not having direct intervention ground can move into and shift out closure member 6 by machine operator.In addition, M/C is also possible.In automatic mode, can be by the passage of time gap, predefined productive output, after realizing other operating parameter or by touching the button and start the whole cleaning process of control system (not shown) control by operator at input terminal.
In the situation by the selection that touches the button, operator is chosen in and produces the manual preparation that stops rear " cleaning ", pipeline and other draining, part filling apparatus.He defines cleaning procedure (for example aqueous slkali, acid, water flushing, sterilizing) equally.In bottle placer, no longer include arbitrary container filling.Rely on control system, drive the rotating driver of pilot bar 16, therefore closure member 6 is placed on below filling exit 2a.Rising actuator 12 container carrier 25 that moves up.Once pilot bar 16 contacts with locations 24, nestle up the closure member 6 of filling exit 2a with the contact compacting defining.
