Description

To the device of container filling liquid underfill material and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for container filling fill material, be preferred for the device of beverage container filled drink, and relate to a kind of method for filling aerosol containers.
Background technology
The filling apparatus giving container filling liquid underfill material in especially beverage filling device field is aware of, in stock chest, gets out liquid underfill material, give real container mechanism supply liquid underfill material by it subsequently. Such as in the groove basin of rotary filler, the stock chest of annular groove or central authorities' channel-shaped is arranged in the plane above filling mechanism.
A lot of liquid underfill material and especially quite a lot of drink and food must be poured into container in certain temperature range, to keep predetermined product performance in container filling.
Such as it is aware of cold aseptic filling process, wherein filling at low temperatures each beverage, to reduce or to avoid endangering the bacterium of the keeping property of quality product and/or filling food and the appearance of microorganism or growth. Now, cold sterile filling is such as used to refrigerated product such as fresh milk and other milk preparation. In addition, container filling fresh milk or other milk preparation preferably occur in the temperature between 0 DEG C to 5 DEG C and being especially preferably 4 DEG C. It is prepared into filling from product manufacturing through product and should not be interrupted to the cold chain of human consumer subsequently, to reduce or to stop bacterium and microbial growth. Like this, corresponding product can be saved about 30��90 days. People also mention " prolongation shelf-lives " at this.
For avoiding the interruption of cold chain, real filling time also liquid underfill material must be remained on constant low temperature.
And, there is such liquid underfill material, it must be hot filling, also to obtain sterile filling and to obtain killing of corresponding bacterium. Such as required when filling slurries, honey juice and vegetables juice filling temperature is between 80 DEG C to 95 DEG C. Also when filling, high filling temperature should be kept in container, so as when to pour into the liquid underfill material of heat also sterilized container inwall, with the fill material that can preserve container filling for a long time He be accommodated therein.
In order to the corresponding temperature adjustment of liquid underfill material in corresponding stock chest is remained on preset temperature, such as, disclosing by DE102009006795A1, the stock chest in hopper form is equipped with interchanger, for the corresponding supply heat energy of energy or cold energy.
In order to continue when equipment downtime to use the liquid underfill material being arranged in filling mechanism supply line and filling mechanism itself and the heating that perhaps occurs at the material of filling mechanism of prevention or turn cold, also disclose the interchanger being located on filling mechanism by DE102009006795A1.Not only can keep temperature of charge level in this way in material trough, it is also possible in filling mechanism, keep temperature of charge level. This erects and the streams that is correspondingly no longer tempered in material trough of filling valve is out-of-date may realize at this equipment.
In addition, it is aware of in the equipment de-sign substituted, filling machine is arranged in the room being tempered or air-conditioning factory building, expect filling temperature accordingly for correspondingly remaining on to the material supply equipment unit that major general is all. But cold sterile filling is only meaningful by this in technology and energy, and now corresponding filling factory building is maintained at the temperature of 0 DEG C to 5 DEG C. For the additional space that heat is aseptic be heated to 80 DEG C in energy, be poor efficiency to 95 DEG C and because of but seldom.
By as described in DE102009006795A1, use interchanger can correspondingly realize filling machine on material trough and filling mechanism to be arbitrarily arranged in the factory building not being tempered or be in the factory building of envrionment temperature, because material supply equipment unit is not by independent thermal treatment.
Summary of the invention
In view of above-mentioned prior art, the task of the present invention is to provide the device of a kind of pouring in liquid fill material in container, especially the device of filled drink in beverage container, and its plant efficiency is able to further raising.
This task by by provided by the invention for give container filling liquid underfill material device complete.
Correspondingly, for give the device of at least one container filling liquid underfill material comprise the stock chest for containing liquid underfill material and at least one with stock chest fluid communication and for the filling valve of container filling liquid underfill material, wherein, it is provided with for containing the interchanger carrying out temperature adjustment at the liquid fill material of deposit of stock chest. According to the present invention, the heat conduction direct with stock chest of at least one filling valve is connected.
Owing in apparatus of the present invention, the heat conduction direct with stock chest of this filling valve is connected, so can also by this stock chest being carried out the temperature adjustment that temperature adjustment obtains filling valve. Thus can abandon the independent temperature adjustment of filling valve, thus improve plant efficiency.
In this way, it is also possible to filling by being not yet used for by filling total liquid filler doses continuing after equipment downtime, this is because total material amount is always in the temperature levels predetermined by the interchanger of stock chest.
Related to this, direct heat conduction between filling valve and stock chest connect refer to stock chest and filling valve each can connection between conducting-heat elements, it is obtained by the material of described parts. Direct heat conduction between filling valve and stock chest connects does not need intermediary's material such as the existence of liquid underfill material. The corresponding temperature adjustment of filling valve is also correspondingly feasible when the stock chest of sky. This kind of heat conduction connection between filling valve and stock chest such as can so be formed, namely, the general filling valve being made up of stainless steel is directly mounted to the stock chest part i.e. such as usual stock chest wall being made up of stainless steel heated by interchanger, such as, be bolted or weld. In this way, the heat energy or the cold energy that are input to this stock chest are transmitted directly to filling valve material, thus filling valve also remains on the temperature predetermined by interchanger of this stock chest.
Thus weighing in filling machine, such as, can reduce the temperature to temperature sensitive weighing unit and input.
In addition, outside these weighing units can also be placed in isolation part, filling valve is contained in this isolation part, for generation of between the equipment unit being tempered and temperature sensitive weighing unit or significant thermal isolation. In a replacement scheme, it is also possible to carry out temperature adjustment to this isolation part, for better the equipment unit contacted with material to be filled, unloading container and material to be filled being remained on filling temperature and correspondingly maintain predetermined filling condition. In this modification, it is also possible to by temperature sensitive equipment unit as outside microcircuit or weighing unit remain on the region being tempered.
In a preferred embodiment, at least one filling valve is integrated in this stock chest.Correspondingly, the base plate of the valve cone of such as filling valve or bearing are added into the bottom land of stock chest, are integrally formed wherein or directly connect with it, such as, are bolted or weld. Correspondingly, valve cone also at least contacts with the base plate heat conduction of this filling valve when valve closes and the bottom land of also direct this stock chest of thermo-contact whereby. In this way, it is possible not only to this stock chest and content thereof are carried out temperature adjustment, but also temperature adjustment can be carried out to this filling valve and the part contacted with material thereof, and do not need the independent interchanger for this filling valve.
Arranged by integral type, it is also possible to abandon the supply line from stock chest to filling valve, this is because filling valve is directly installed on this stock chest. Can also thus avoid the temperature variation of the liquid underfill material being in supply line, this is because this supply line will be abandoned.
In a favourable enforcement mode, it is possible to temperature control medium pipeline is set in the lid of stock chest, its medium that can be cooled flow through and can at the bottom of stock chest in electric heating device is set. In this way, it is possible to cool from top liquid towards fill material, and can heat by liquid towards fill material from below. Therefore utilize corresponding device can perform cold aseptic filling process and hot aseptic filling process, it is not necessary to reequip this device bothersomely.
The part circle of at least one filling valve is advantageously located in stock chest diameter. Like this, this filling valve is positioned at the fundamental plane of this stock chest, obtains direct heat conduction such that it is able to simple and connects. In other words, the part circular diameter of filling valve is less than stock chest diameter, thus filling valve is arranged in stock chest or is set directly at below stock chest, does not preferably have other supply line. Filling valve in free jet flow filling machine form is applicable to above-mentioned enforcement mode especially well. But other filling valve can also be adopted.
In a favourable improvement scheme, this at least one filling valve is located substantially in the volume limited by stock chest. In this way, it is also possible to obtain the temperature levels that filling valve is connected to stock chest by simple heat conduction. Preferably, the base plate of this at least one filling valve and/or valve cone are positioned at the volume limited by stock chest. Now in particular it is preferred that, the base plate of this at least one filling valve is integrated in the bottom land of stock chest and is preferably incorporated in the base plate of stock chest by valve seat. Achieve by receiving filling valve base plate at stock chest volume, the liquid underfill material being tempered by interchanger in stock chest is not in filling valve, this is because filling valve there is no supply section, but it is arranged in stock chest volume, it is possible to unrestricted flow in stock chest. Correspondingly, liquid underfill material is always mixed and passes through the interchanger always even temperature adjustment of corresponding maintenance. And can accomplish in this way, valve cone by material circulation and is also correspondingly in temperature of charge through this trip. In addition, accomplished in this way, material can in stock chest unrestricted flow and such region does not occur, the exchange of material and its surrounding environment and interchanger cannot be realized in this region. Correspondingly, it does not have occur such as the flowing stationary state in the supply pipe not flow through by fluid.
Preferred directly heat conduction in order to be formed between filling valve and stock chest connects, it is possible at least one filling valve is directly connected, it is preferable that by riveted joint, be threaded and/or weld with this stock chest.Now in particular it is preferred that, this stock chest and at least one filling valve have high conductivity material and the high conductivity material of this stock chest is connected with the direct heat conduction of the high conductivity material of filling valve.
Above-mentioned task also completes by being used for the method at least one container filling liquid underfill material, wherein, this liquid underfill material is accommodated in stock chest and is poured into this container by least one filling valve from stock chest, and this liquid underfill material is tempered by interchanger in stock chest. According to the present invention, this at least one filling valve by stock chest by direct temperature adjustment.

Embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment is described. Here, identical, similar or act on identical component and indicate with identical Reference numeral, and sometimes abandon in the following description to these component repeat describe, in order to avoid tediously long.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the device 1 for filling flask, and bottle is supplied to this device 1 by supply star-wheel 12.
Device 1 comprises the stock chest 2 in central groove form for containing liquid underfill material 20, and this liquid underfill material should be poured into this container 10.
Liquid underfill material 20 can be poured into container 10 by filling valve 3 from stock chest 2. Correspondingly so and stock chest 2 fluid communication, that is, the liquid underfill material 20 contained in stock chest 2 can flow through this filling valve 3 to filling valve 3. Hereinafter again schematically illustrate in detail in fig. 2 and describe this filling valve 3.
Stock chest 2 has interchanger 4, and this interchanger 4 is in the form of the temperature control medium pipeline 40 of the bottom land 22 li being placed in stock chest 2. Determine according to application, cooled heat-eliminating medium or the heating medium heated flow through temperature control medium pipeline 40, correspondingly to give bottom land 22 temperature adjustment of this stock chest 2, and the liquid underfill material 20 being positioned at stock chest 2 remained on preset temperature or is placed on preset temperature. The size of temperature control medium pipeline 40 is can heat or cooling liquid state fill material 20 in stock chest 2 by respective settings, or temperature when can only keep liquid underfill material to inject stock chest 2.
In a unshowned replacement scheme, for giving the interchanger of the liquid underfill material temperature adjustment in stock chest also can electric drive. To this, in this interchanger or the electrical heating element having in the bottom surface and/or sidewall that are arranged on stock chest, or it has corresponding electronic cooling element such as Peltier devices, its bottom surface being also placed in stock chest and/or sidewall.So, electric energy transmission is such as undertaken by ring header Transmission Part (Schleifring �� bertrager).
Dissimilar interchanger can also combine mutually, such as, electric heating device at the bottom of stock chest be placed in stock chest sidewall and/or lid in temperature control medium pipeline combination. The temperature control medium pipeline that the medium that can be cooled flows through such as can be set in the lid of stock chest, and electric heating device can be set in bottom land. In this way, it is possible to cooling from top liquid towards fill material, liquid towards fill material heats from below. Therefore, it is possible to use corresponding device performs cold aseptic filling process and hot aseptic filling process, it is not necessary to reequip this device bothersomely.
The use of other interchanger can also be expected, such as, stock chest is imposed thermal radiation or uses microwave.
Temperature that is that should reach in stock chest 2 and that should be delivered to liquid underfill material 20 depends on the characteristic of liquid underfill material 20 and the filling condition of reality. Such as, when refrigerated product is as filling in fresh milk, the temperature of the liquid underfill material 20 in stock chest 2 is within the scope of 0 DEG C��5 DEG C and is preferably 4 DEG C. When hot filling fruit juice or vegetables juice, carried the heating medium heated by temperature control medium pipeline 40, liquid underfill material 20 correspondingly to be remained on 80 DEG C��95 DEG C or be heated to this temperature.
In order to realize the temperature adjustment of filling valve 3 part that contacts with liquid underfill material 20 and in order to avoid the temperature affecting liquid underfill material 20, it is proposed that enforcement mode as shown in Figure 1. Filling valve 3 is integrated in stock chest 2 by corresponding so that the base plate 30 of filling valve 3 is directly connected with heat conduction with the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2, thus forms direct heat conduction and connect (thermischeVerbindung).
Heat conduction connects especially true generation, that is, the direct material that there is stock chest 2 bottom land 22 and general filling valve 3 base plate 30 also containing stainless steel being generally made up of stainless steel contacts. This connection such as can by the welding of two parts, by being directly integrated in the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2 by base plate 30 or realized by the respective bolt connection of two parts or riveted joint. Because the heat conduction being integrated in stock chest 2 by filling valve 3 to create between stock chest 2 and filling valve 3 connects, and especially heat conduction with filling valve 3 base plate 30 is connected, so, the heat applied by interchanger 4 or the cold base plate 30 being transmitted directly to filling valve 3. In this way, the base plate 30 of filling valve 3 is always in the temperature levels identical with the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2. Whether whether like this, filling valve 3 does not change the temperature levels of liquid underfill material 20, exactly, with this device 1 according to whether the work of filling pattern and this filling valve 3 are flow through unrelated by liquid underfill material 20, or erect unrelated with it.
In the enforcement mode shown in the right side of Fig. 1, the valve cone 32 of filling valve 3 is placed in the valve seat 300 that it is formed in base plate 30. In this way, valve cone 32 also direct this base plate 30 of thermo-contact, the thus bottom land 22 of thermo-contact stock chest 2. Valve cone 32 also always correspondingly remains on the temperature levels identical with the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2.
Except the valve of base plate 30 and the filling valve 3 " cone 32 " and " bottom land 22 of stock chest 2 " direct contacts, filling valve 3 is at least bored with regard to 32 with regard to its base plate 30 and valve, is directly contact this liquid underfill material 20.Also by the contact of " valve cone 32 and base plate 30 " with " liquid underfill material 20 ", it is achieved that filling valve 3 is tempered the temperature levels to liquid underfill material 20.
Because filling valve 3 is integrated in stock chest 2, so when filling valve 3 is closed, liquid underfill material 20 is not in few flowing or the region without flowing, but liquid underfill material 20 freely can circulate in stock chest 2. When viewing is when the filling valve of the closedown on the right side of Fig. 1, this is especially clear. Can knowing here and see, substantially whole liquid underfill materials 20 is in and continues in exchange. Correspondingly, liquid underfill material 20 is always placed in preset temperature with regard to its total amount by interchanger 4 in stock chest 2 or remains on this preset temperature.
Correspondingly; can also when equipment downtime (now liquid underfill material 20 does not flow through filling valve 3); ensure that this liquid underfill material 20 entirety is maintained at preset temperature; this is especially highly significant in hot filling field and for cold-aseptic filling, for keeping few bacterium " burden " as far as possible of not yet filling fill material or few microorganism " burden " of trying one's best at any time. By described mode, it is also possible to avoid the interruption of the cold storage environment of refrigerated product, because there is not the heating to product in the environment division (such as the supply line to filling valve known from prior art) without flowing.
Correspondingly, in shown device 1, also no longer needing such as work start time or have no progeny in pouring process and the liquid underfill material being tempered to be used for this filling valve 3 temperature adjustment and clear up subsequently, but when pouring process is interrupted, filling valve 3 also always remains on preferred temperature.
The part circle T of filling valve 3 is so formed in the device 1, that is, this part circle is positioned at the diameter D of stock chest 2. In other words, filling valve 3 is so preferably placed in stock chest 2, that is, it is entirely integrated in stock chest 2.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, filling valve 3 is also positioned at the volume limited by stock chest 2.
Related to this, " filling valve " at least refer to filling valve 3 with lower part: these parts directly contact liquid material 20 and corresponding can affect its temperature.
Obviously, the control device of filling valve 3 is such as in the embodiment in figure 1 by forming in the valve control device 34 of pneumatics form, and the control device of described filling valve 3 around flowing through and correspondingly is not had to be in the product temperature of expectation by liquid underfill material 20 yet. Can also accomplishing like this, outside temperature sensitive component (microcircuit or weighing unit such as control device) can be positioned at the corresponding region being tempered, and equipment operability can be further improved in this way.
In order to realize the mixed even completely continuously of liquid underfill material 20, preferably at least one agitating vane 24 is arranged in the volume of stock chest 2, its when stock chest 2 rotates for mixing liquid underfill material 20 thoroughly and correspondingly evenly keep temperature levels in the total liquid volume in stock chest 2. Or, independent stirring mechanism can also be used for this reason.
Liquid underfill material 20 can be preheated or precooling inject this stock chest 2 and be held in preset temperature by interchanger 4, but or heat can be inputted by additional input device (not shown), such as pass through microwave oven apparatus.
In order to the temperature of liquid underfill material 20 that checks in stock chest 2, to ensure, this product is in correct temperature, it is possible to install a temperature sensor 9.
By supply star-wheel 12, also preferably so according to the mode supply container 10 of temperature adjustment in advance, namely, it is possible to being undertaken filling by the container 10 of corresponding cooling or heating, and therefore accurately maintain filling temperature.
Amount of liquid to be filled is determined preferably by weighing mechanism 8, and it especially comprises the weighing unit 80 being located at below container 10. But the fill level that can also carry out the flow measurement on filling valve 3 or determine in container 10 in another preferred embodiment, such as, by means of probe, to realize terminating and and then the closedown of filling valve 3 of pouring process.
When giving the filling refrigerated product of container 10 such as fresh milk, this filling preferably under cold sterile state the temperature of 0 DEG C to 5 DEG C and especially preferably carry out the temperature of 4 DEG C. Refrigeration should be prepared at product, filling and be delivered between human consumer not to be interrupted, to stop or to reduce microorganism growth. In this way, it is possible to make product can preserve 30��90 days.
Utilize device 1 as shown in Figure 1 so that the necessary workshop building air conditioner for this kind of cold sterile filling process so far turns into not essential. On the contrary, this device 1 " freedom " is arranged. It can also directly be placed in around thermal source region, and as supplied around the motor 120 of star-wheel 12, and this thermal source only negligibly has influence on the temperature levels of the liquid underfill material 20 in stock chest.
Disclose in the prior art, in the production plant that non-air-conditioning processes when producing beginning and when the production such as occurred because work fault is interrupted, the part in turnout must be removed, because first also filling valve and filling machine must be placed in preset temperature by liquid to be filled. Utilizing the device 1 shown in Fig. 1, this no longer needs, because the liquid underfill material 20 in stock chest 2 is kept, and filling valve 3 is by the thermo-contact with this stock chest 2, is also maintained at preset temperature. Liquid underfill material 20 is no longer needed to make to flow through filling valve 3 so that filling valve 3 is in filling temperature, this is because filling valve 3 is by being also in filling temperature with the thermo-contact of this stock chest 2.
Liquid underfill material 20 is injected into this stock chest 2 by supply line 5 and the corresponding divider 52 that rotates. Supply line 5 is preferably equipped with isolation part 50, for reducing or stop liquid underfill material 20 to turn cold or heating on the road arriving stock chest 2.
And, the region of container 10 residing in pouring process is placed in so-called isolation housing 6. Isolation housing 6 is flow through by the air (being preferably also sterilized and drying) of correspondingly temperature adjustment simultaneously, and this air is such as injected into isolation housing 6 by supply flange 60 and waste gas flange 62.
Rotating to realize while positiver sealing, the sidewall 64 of isolation housing 6 is settled and is locked 66 by water and be connected with the rotation integral part of isolation housing 6 with maintaining static, and this rotation integral part is such as in lid 68 shapes. Isolation part 50 can also be arranged around isolation housing 6, for the temperature adjustment maintained in isolation housing 6.
Isolation housing 6 can be tempered, to provide the interior room through temperature adjustment and correspondingly the equipment unit being contained in isolation housing 6, unloading container and material to be filled to be remained on the filling temperature of expectation. The temperature adjustment of isolation housing 6 now can be undertaken by one of them above-mentioned heat exchanger types. Or, temperature adjustment can also be undertaken by the heat regulation device in the air supply line leading to supply flange 60 or cooling setter. Now, air can be recycled conveying by waste gas flange 62, with the high-efficient operation of equipment.
In addition, the device shown in Fig. 1 is favourable with regard to following: other temperature-sensitive components is arranged on outside isolation housing 6. Such as these weighing units 80 are placed in outside isolation housing 6, such that it is able to reduce the inaccuracy caused by temperature of weighing unit 80 and can correspondingly realize the accurate operation of this device 1, observe the filling temperature expected simultaneously.
The motor 120 of supply star-wheel 12 also causes higher equipment operability outside being placed in isolation housing 6, this is because motor 120 can not be overheated.
The layout of weighing unit and the driving outside isolation housing 6 also have following advantage: outside these parts are positioned at the jeting area of product to be filled, outside being also located in the jeting area of cleaning medium used in isolation housing. And, improving by described layout close to property of maintenance and repair. The filling apparatus 1 of the container 10 shown in Fig. 1 is because shown filling valve 3 designs and is not first suitable for filling fizzy beverage or soda pop. But, suitability can be implemented mode by the filling valve 3 changed and produce, and this container 10 must be forced on such filling valve 3 like this, for giving container 10 pressurising in advance.
In order to obtain the temperature adjustment of stock chest 2, it is preferable that by rotating the corresponding temperature control medium pipeline 42 that divider 52 supplies at the bottom of the rotation slot leading to stock chest 2 22, to provide corresponding temperature control medium to the temperature control medium pipeline 40 in stock chest 2 bottom land 22. By this temperature control medium pipeline 42, it is also possible to carry out temperature adjustment to the supply line 5 for liquid underfill material 20 simultaneously.
By corresponding escape route 26, it is possible to by with after temperature control medium be such as discharged to erect to passage 28. In an alternative, passage 28 can also be configured to be similar to the closed type medium rotation guide mechanism form that medium rotates divider 52. In another alternative, escape route 26 can also be realized by the groove rail that medium rotates divider 52.
When using cold product filling apparatus 1 to be especially used in cold-aseptic filling, motor 120 can be cooled by independent cooling loop 122. By profile of tooth band 124 or act on identical moment transmitting device, it is possible to drive real filling apparatus 1 to reduce heat input further.
