Description

Be used for processing the apparatus and method of at least one container
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of apparatus and method that are used for processing at least one container, be preferably used for cold sterilely that weighting substance is fillingly at least one container, for example, be used for cold sterilely filling dairy products in beverage filling equipment.
Background technology
Be used in this field of device of container handling, especially be used in the device of cold sterilely filling weighting substance, for example sterilely be filled in container by dairy products is cold, be known that, each equipment unit is surrounded by so-called cleaning chamber, and container work for the treatment of is originally carried out in these equipment unit.At this, the region division that specific equipment unit (for example stretch blowing machine, transmission star gear, flusher, sterilizer, tucker and/or git) contacts with each container, lid and each filling product by it is in cleaning chamber.Therefore, each transportation section is directed in cleaning chamber, and in these transportation sections, container and filling product are resistless for pollution.
In cleaning chamber, preferably produce and keep the atmosphere of definition, this atmosphere preferably has bacterium and the mould that quantity reduces, so that filling product and container are contaminated as few as possible.That carries out by this way fillingly can make the long as far as possible time of filling product storage.In order to realize favourable filling effect, in cleaning chamber, conventionally also keep the temperature of definition and the air humidity of definition.
This cleaning chamber consists of the housing that surrounds relevant device region conventionally, and it protects cleaning chamber in order to avoid bacterium enters, and can form the atmosphere of definition.
In beverage filling equipment, be conventionally configured to for example, in the equipment unit (stretch blowing machine, transmit star gear, flusher, sterilizer, tucker and/or git) of rotary machine, be provided with accordingly around equipment unit, they correspondingly comprise the housing parts of motion together.Fixing housing parts is set equally, for example sidewall.At this, for example the sensor of actuating device, valve or individual equipment parts and affiliated pipeline and cable are usually located at outside each movable housing parts, for example, be positioned at outside the housing top cover of sealing cleaning chamber.At this, the unit of single processing mechanism (for example closing means) is arranged on outside cleaning chamber.Then, the mechanism being driven carries out corresponding motion of translation and rotatablely moves with respect to housing parts separately.
Correspondingly, must between fixing housing parts and the housing parts with respect to its activity, form transition member, they form the housing that surrounds this cleaning chamber together.Therefore, in the intermediate location between fixing housing parts and the housing parts of rotation, sealing member is set conventionally, it is configured to labyrinth in the situation that of for example forming superpressure in cleaning chamber, that this superpressure provides is invariable, point to air-flow outside, that penetrate labyrinth.In addition, also can apply so-called expansion tank (Wasserschl sser), wherein the housing parts of sword shape immerses in the housing parts of groove shape, wherein in the housing parts of groove shape, is provided with corresponding confining liquid.Rear a kind of sealing member is also referred to as hydrocone type sealing member.
It is also known that, processing mechanism (for example locking mechanism) single, that penetrate housing parts extension seals by the expansion tank of corresponding formation.By such expansion tank, the element of processing mechanism for example can be with respect to housing seal, and these elements relatives are rotated and/or motion of translation in housing.
In order to realize corresponding sealing effectiveness between the housing parts fixing and the housing parts of rotation, be necessary that, always each confining liquid is filled to the predefined height of expansion tank.For this reason known by prior art, if determine and do not reach predefined fill level by corresponding horizontal probe, always to fill by spells each independently groove.The shortcoming of this device is, or can not detect possible the filling and overflow of confining liquid, or needing another horizontal probe to identify this fills situation, and needs extra automation expense.
In addition also known from prior art, fill constantly each groove, and unnecessary confining liquid is discharged by outgate.This point is for example known from DE 10 2,006 007 481 B3, and wherein each groove of expansion tank is filled individually, and by flow counter, determines whether to have reached corresponding compactedness individually in each expansion tank.Correspondingly, automation appropriate litigation fees is herein high.
Summary of the invention
Therefore the object of the invention is, a kind of apparatus and method that are used for processing at least one container are described, wherein improve the reliability of whole system and the expense of reduction automation.
This object is achieved by device a kind of feature with claim 1, that be used for processing at least one container.Favourable improvement project is drawn by dependent claims.
Correspondingly, advised a kind of device that is used for processing at least one container, preferably be used for cold sterilely that weighting substance is filling in container, this device comprises the housing that surrounds cleaning chamber, the processing of container can be carried out in its inside, this housing has fixing housing parts and with respect to the housing parts of its activity, wherein for fixing housing parts is sealed with respect to movable housing parts, in the first level, be provided with at least one first expansion tank, and be provided with at least one second expansion tank in the second level being positioned under the first level.By the present invention, between the outlet of the first expansion tank and the entrance of the second expansion tank, exist liquid and connect.
Owing to existing liquid between the outlet of the first expansion tank and the entrance of the second expansion tank, connect, so the first expansion tank (i.e. the expansion tank of top) and the second expansion tank (i.e. the expansion tank of below) all pass through common entrance supply confining liquid.In addition, by consequent waterfall (being that confining liquid flows to from being positioned at the expansion tank of eminence the expansion tank that is positioned at lower), can for example by pump, carry extraly confining liquid, because confining liquid is because diff-H and consequent hydrostatical pressure are squeezed to the second expansion tank from the first expansion tank.
At this conventional confining liquid, can be water, pure water and/or there is disinfectant and/or the water of bactericidal agent.But also can apply other various confining liquids.
Another advantage of the device of this suggestion is, for the beginning head piece of confining liquid, only need be connected with the first expansion tank, therefore can be reduced to confining liquid is transferred to stringing work and the expense thereof that the second expansion tank carries out.The number of parts participating in by minimizing (especially for controller and valve), can improve the reliability of this device and the cost of minimizing automation.
In addition by this device can also be by confining liquid the characteristic in the second expansion tank of postposition detect the correct occupied state of the first expansion tank.If for example confining liquid is housed in the second expansion tank, therefrom can draw, confining liquid is also housed in the first expansion tank, because if be not like this, confining liquid can not flow to the second expansion tank and can not fill the second expansion tank from the first expansion tank.In other words, first confining liquid packs in the first expansion tank (i.e. the expansion tank of top), if filled completely, confining liquid overflows to the second expansion tank (i.e. the expansion tank of below), until also fill completely in the second expansion tank.
Can reduce the expense for possible automation by this way, because can survey the correct filling of these two expansion tanks after the second expansion tank by unique common flow sensor.Also the filling process of each expansion tank can be obviously simplified, because confining liquid only need overflow to from the expansion tank of top the expansion tank of below, the guiding of confining liquid needn't be controlled individually for the expansion tank of below.At this preferably, flow sensor is arranged in the outlet of the second expansion tank, is used for jointly detecting the filling situation of all preposition expansion tanks.
Can accurately monitor the filling of expansion tank in the following manner, flow into confining liquid stream in the entrance of the first expansion tank and measure by the flow sensor being arranged on before the entrance of the first expansion tank.The difference forming by the confining liquid stream with flowing out from the second expansion tank, can correspondingly infer abnormal condition (for example leakage of confining liquid or obstruction), and therefore infer that confining liquid overflows in miscellaneous equipment region.
In addition can also draw immediately, by the liquid between the outlet of the first expansion tank and the entrance of the second expansion tank, connect, do not need for these two expansion tanks, to send independent signal again, but while existing correct occupied state in the second expansion tank or when detecting the outflow from the second expansion tank, also can infer the correct occupied state of the first expansion tank.If therefore filled up the expansion tank of below completely, by simple signal, can know, by expansion tank, realized sealing complete and up to specification.
If the export mixes of each expansion tank is the outgate that has preset the fill level of expansion tank, can in the first and second expansion tanks, keep especially simply predefined fill level.Correspondingly, first confining liquid packs first into, is positioned at the expansion tank of top, until it arrives at by the predefined fill level of outgate.Then, confining liquid just overflow to second, be arranged in below expansion tank.Therefore can guarantee, the first expansion tank is filled to predefined fill level, then just the second expansion tank is filled to predefined fill level.Then, owing to detecting, from the outlet of the second expansion tank, at least there is confining liquid stream, determined the correct filling of all expansion tanks.
In addition, confining liquid is supplied to the first expansion tank and the second expansion tank by the confining liquid memory device being arranged on above it.At this, for example can apply the sealing sterilization lid with corresponding outlet, be used for supplying the first expansion tank and the second expansion tank.Then, the preferred only liquid memory above being positioned at it of corresponding confining liquid flows to the first expansion tank, and the then continuation flow direction is arranged on the second expansion tank below it, and needn't using pump.Can also reduce the complexity of whole equipment by this way, and therefore improve reliability.Can also therefore save energy simultaneously.
By the liquid between the outlet of the first expansion tank and the entrance of the second expansion tank, connect, can also be by this means for engaging in circulation conduit, but also can join in discrete system because this from above expansion tank flow to below expansion tank, this is capable of circulation.But also can for example, by the system of discrete (time is in check), drive this to flow.To this, towards the beginning head piece of entrance of the first expansion tank and the adverse current mouth of the outlet of the second expansion tank, join in circulation conduit, and preferably from beginning head piece, flow through the first expansion tank, liquid connection and the second expansion tank until adverse current mouth is realized the circulation of confining liquid.At this, the confining liquid expansion tank of flowing through from top to down waterfall shape.
In order to detect, whether the expansion tank of top and the expansion tank of below have all filled confining liquid completely, flow sensor is preferably set in the outlet of the second expansion tank, by it, can detect, whether confining liquid flows out and whether correspondingly fills the first and second expansion tanks completely from the second expansion tank.
In this external preferred improvement project, draining pipe is arranged on during the liquid connected with the nadir of the first expansion tank and the second expansion tank is connected, to can empty each expansion tank completely, for example, in order to maintain and clean whole equipment.
If each outlet of other expansion tank for example keep to be blocked owing to being configured to outgate, can also be by draining pipe by these expansion tanks individually and separate emptying.
Preferably in the downstream of the outlet of at least the second expansion tank, locking-valve and/or boiler check valve are set, confining liquid is due in the expansion tank below hydrostatic overflowing to when avoiding above emptying expansion tank.
The system of describing by two expansion tanks above can especially preferably have at least another expansion tank between the level of the first expansion tank and the level of the second expansion tank, and it is connected in an identical manner and communicated with the first expansion tank and the second expansion tank by liquid.Confining liquid can be supplied to other expansion tank being arranged between the first and second expansion tanks in an identical manner, as above-described.Correspondingly, because confining liquid flows out from the expansion tank of below, deducibility goes out the filling situation of all front buffer tanks again.At this, the confining liquid expansion tank connected with each other of flowing through from top to down waterfall shape.At this, correspondingly refer to the series connection of different expansion tanks.
In order to flow through without problems, allly by liquid, connect expansion tank connected with each other, this liquid connects preferably and forms like this, and confining liquid can be flowed through waterfall shape and is arranged on the expansion tank on varying level.
Expansion tank is especially preferably set, its by processing mechanism rotatablely move and/or motion of translation seals, and the first expansion tank and/or the second expansion tank by liquid connect waterfall shape with sealing the expansion tank of processing mechanism couple together.Can supply continuously single expansion tank by this way, wherein confining liquid these expansion tanks of then from top to bottom flowing through waterfall shape.
The first and/or second expansion tank also can by this by processing mechanism rotatablely move and/or expansion tank that motion of translation seals forms.
In another preferred structural scheme, at least one the distribution track by medium rotary distributor in beginning head piece, adverse current mouth and/or leakage fluid dram is transitioned on movable housing parts.By this way can also with corresponding confining liquid supply together rotation groove and together with the expansion tank that rotates, be for example used for encapsulation process mechanism.
Above-mentioned purpose is also achieved by a kind of method with the feature of claim 15.Favourable improvement project draws by the dependent claims relevant with the method.
Correspondingly, advised a kind of method of processing at least one container in surrounding the housing of cleaning chamber, preferably be used for cold sterilely that weighting substance is filling in container, this housing has fixing housing parts and with respect to the housing parts of its activity, wherein for fixing housing parts is sealed with respect to movable housing parts, in the first level, be provided with at least one first expansion tank, and be provided with at least one second expansion tank in the second level being positioned under the first level.By the present invention, confining liquid is directed in the second expansion tank by the first expansion tank.
By confining liquid is directed to the second expansion tank from the first expansion tank, also can realize the advantage of speaking of for device above.

The specific embodiment
By accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment has been described below.At this, identical, similarly or the element of same function in different accompanying drawings, indicate consistent reference marker, and in description subsequently, partly omit being repeated in this description of these elements, to avoid tediously long in specification sheets.
Fig. 1 schematically shows for processing the device 1 of at least one container, and it comprises housing 2, and this housing surrounds cleaning chamber 20.This housing 2 has fixing housing parts 22 and with respect to the housing parts 24 of its activity.For example, for being used for the cold device in container that sterilely weighting substance is filled to, the form of this movable housing parts 24 is housing parts (for example equipment top cover) of for example, together with each equipment unit (flusher, sterilizer, tucker and git) rotation.Fixing housing parts 22 is for example the sidewall of this equipment.
For fixing housing parts 22 is sealed with respect to movable housing parts 24, be provided with the first expansion tank 3, it is arranged on the first horizontal N 1on.In addition, the second expansion tank 4 is arranged on the second horizontal N 2on.In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the groove 30 of the first expansion tank 3 and the groove 40 of the second expansion tank 4 are arranged on fixing housing parts 22.
In alternatives, each groove 30,40 or whole expansion tank 3,4 are also fixed on movable housing parts 24.If independent processing mechanism (as closing means) is arranged on rotation on movable housing parts 24 and together with the housing parts 24 movable with this, whole expansion tank is contained on movable housing parts 24.Correspondingly, can be by the whole round the expansion tank of the common rotation of the rotation axis of described device 1, realize corresponding processing mechanism with respect to the rotatablely moving or motion of translation of housing top cover, the precondition of this motion of translation is the corresponding depth of immersion of corresponding diagonal brace in corresponding slot.At this, beginning stream, discharge opeing and/or the adverse current of the groove of the common rotation of corresponding expansion tank or importing or derive preferably the corresponding track that can rotate sparger by medium and input and/or export.
In the schematic views shown in Fig. 1, only show the first expansion tank 3 and the second expansion tank 4.But according to the geometry of whole device, also a plurality of expansion tanks can be set.Especially can in the following manner a plurality of expansion tanks be interconnected.
The first expansion tank 3 comprises circular groove 30, and it surrounds at least a portion of equipment unit concentrically towards the rotation axis of equipment unit, holding confining liquid 32 in this circular groove, and this confining liquid is filled to predefined fill level h always 1.Confining liquid 32 is for example water, pure water and/or has disinfectant and/or the water of bactericidal agent.
The annular diagonal brace 34 being connected with movable housing parts 24 immerses in these confining liquids 32.Diagonal brace 34 can be round the rotation axis rotation of equipment unit.By diagonal brace 34 is immersed in confining liquid 32, correspondingly sealing is positioned at the inner side of diagonal brace 34 and the space on outside airtightly mutually.In order also mutually to realize failure-free sealing when housing parts 22,24 relative motion, must in groove 30, reach specific minimum packed height, preferably predefined fill level h 1.
The second expansion tank 4 has substantially the same structure and has corresponding same groove 40, and it is filled to fill level h by confining liquid 42 always 2.The diagonal brace 44 being arranged on movable housing parts 24 immerses in confining liquid 42.
The first expansion tank 3 and the second expansion tank 4 connect together with 5 direct correlation by fluid.This fluid connects 5 and forms like this at this, and it guides to the entrance 48 of the second expansion tank 4 from the outlet 36 of the first expansion tank 3.Correspondingly, confining liquid 32 flows out from the first expansion tank 3 by outlet 36, and by fluid, connects 5 and flow to the entrance 48 of the second expansion tank 4, and correspondingly by the confining liquid of outflow from the first expansion tank 3, fills the second expansion tank 4.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the outlet 36 of the first expansion tank 3 is configured to outgate, by it, can simply the level of confining liquid be remained on to predefined fill level h 1.If it has reached the fill level h of expectation in groove 30 1, from the confining liquid 32 of the first expansion tank 3, correspondingly from be configured to the outlet 36 of outgate, discharge.But also can stop in simple mode the overflow of groove 30, because fill level can not surpass by being configured to the predefined height of outlet 36 of outgate.
Because the horizontal N of the first expansion tank 3 1be positioned at the horizontal N of the second expansion tank 4 2on, and the fill level h of the first expansion tank 3 1especially be positioned at the expectation fill level h of the second expansion tank 4 2on, so because confining liquid 32 is discharged via the outlet 36 of the first expansion tank 3, can realize the reliable filling of the second expansion tank 4, and needn't control especially or regulate for this reason.In addition, also can omit pump or other feedway for confining liquid, it directly gives the second expansion tank 4 supply confining liquids.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the fill level h of the second expansion tank 4 2by being configured to the outlet 46 of outgate, realize equally, it is responsible for keeping fill level.
Confining liquid is transferred in the corresponding entrance 38 of the first expansion tank 3 by beginning head piece 6.By valve 60, this beginning stream can be controlled, and confining liquid flowing towards entrance 38 can be measured by flow sensor 70.If confining liquid is filled completely, expired the first expansion tank 3, it is overflowed by exporting 36, it connects 5 outlets 48 that flow to the second expansion tank 4 by fluid.If the second expansion tank 4 is also filled up completely, confining liquid is overflowed by exporting 46, can survey this adverse current by the flow sensor 72 being arranged on adverse current mouth 8.The first tapping valve 90 and the second tapping valve 94 seal in filling process, and they also will elaborate below.In the connecting duct 7 of locking-valve 80 between outlet 46 and adverse current mouth 8, this locking-valve is opened in filling process and in equipment running process.Advantageously, this connecting duct 7 led in adverse current mouth 8 before flow sensor 72.Guarantee thus, confining liquid in fact also can be surveyed by flow sensor 72.
If do not occur that loss of liquid and two expansion tanks 3,4 all fill completely, ideal situation is to flow into be equivalent to adverse current.Can the possible loss of liquid of balance by corresponding tolerance is set at this, this loss of liquid is for example that this splash is because the relative motion of fixing housing parts 22 with respect to movable housing parts 24 causes by evaporating or slight splash causes.But when surpassing specific tolerance, can send warning signal, thereby supposition there is leakage, and for example whole equipment is stopped.
Correspondingly, after the predefined filling time, in adverse current mouth 8, should there is invariable volume flow, this volume flow is equivalent to the volume flow in entrance 6 substantially, and within this filling time, the first expansion tank 3 and the second expansion tank 4 are all closed liquid completely and fill up.
By this way, the volume flow flowing out by measurement just can be monitored these two expansion tanks 3,4 very simply.
Whether in order to monitor these two expansion tanks 3,4 actual filling, this flow counter 72 puts in adverse current mouth 8 completely.By this flow counter 72, can determine, whether liquid stream penetrates this two expansion tanks on the whole.If this occurs, suppose that these two expansion tanks are filled to predefined fill level h by each confining liquid always 1or h 2, because not can by export 36 or outlet 46 from the first expansion tank 3 or the second expansion tank 4, overflow.
But in order to monitor exactly the occupied state of the first expansion tank 3 and the second expansion tank 4, occupied state sensor 74 can be set on the first expansion tank 3 and on the second expansion tank 4, occupied state sensor 76 be set equally, although they are optional, can determine exactly occupied state by them.
In order to empty the first expansion tank 3 and the second expansion tank 4, be also provided with draining pipe 9.By the first tapping valve 90, can open the discharge side 92 of below of the groove 30 that is preferably placed at the first expansion tank 3.By tapping valve 94, can open the discharge side 96 of below of the groove 40 that is preferably placed at the second expansion tank 4.By opening the first tapping valve 90, can correspondingly confining liquid 32 be emptied completely from the first expansion tank 3, and can empty similarly the second expansion tank 4 completely by opening the second tapping valve 94.Advantageously, can first empty the first expansion tank 3, and by flow sensor 72, can identify this and empty completely.Alternatively, if confining liquid is discharged completely in the channel interface (not shown) of adverse current mouth 8 from the first expansion tank 3, this point also can realize by emptying notice probe (Leermeldesonde) in this position.When emptying the first expansion tank 3, the locking-valve 80 in sealing connecting duct 7.Can advantageously stop thus, by connecting duct 7, be pressed in the second expansion tank 4 by the confining liquid that hydrostatic impact is flowed out from the first expansion tank 3, and confining liquid is overflowed.Boiler check valve for example also can be set and replace locking-valve 80, this boiler check valve prevents that confining liquid from overflowing to the second expansion tank 4 from the first expansion tank 3 by connecting duct 7.After the first expansion tank 3 is emptied completely, can open the second tapping valve 94, to empty the second expansion tank.
Both emptying of expansion tank 3 of top can be monitored by flow counter 72, also can monitor by occupied state sensor 74.Correspondingly, emptying of below expansion tank 4 can be monitored by flow counter 72 or below occupied state sensor 76 equally.
This beginning head piece 6 forms like this in preferred scheme, and confining liquid is by being arranged on fill level h 1on memory device flow into, therefore can be correspondingly by simply becoming a mandarin confining liquid brought into.This point for example realizes by the sealing sterilization lid being arranged on the expansion tank 3 of top, and this sealing sterilization lid has corresponding outgate.Can also omit the pump of corresponding confining liquid by this way.
