Description

It is 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 for processing at least one container, be preferably used for cold sterilely by filling Material is filling at least one container, for example, be used for cold sterilely filling dairy produce in beverage filling plant.
Background technology
In this field of device for processing container, especially at the device for cold sterilely filling filler In, it is for example sterilely filled to cold for dairy produce in container, it is known that each part of appliance is surrounded by so-called cleaning chamber, former This container processes to be operated in these parts of appliance and carries out.Here, specific part of appliance (such as stretch blowing machine, transmission Pocket-wheel, flusher, sterilizer, tucker and/or dead lock) contact with each container, lid and each filling product by it Region be arranged on cleaning chamber in.Therefore, each transportation section is directed in cleaning chamber, container and filling product in these transportation sections It is resistless for pollution.
Preferably producing and keep the atmosphere of definition in cleaning chamber, this atmosphere preferably has the bacterium and mould that quantity reduces Bacterium, so that filling product and container are contaminated as few as possible.Carry out by this way filling can make filling product store The time grown as far as possible.In order to realize favourable filling effect, cleaning chamber generally also keeps the temperature of definition and definition Air humidity.
This cleaning chamber is generally made up of the housing surrounding relevant device region, and chamber is cleaned in its protection in order to avoid bacterium enters, and And the atmosphere of definition can be formed.
It is typically configured to part of appliance (such as stretch blowing machine, the transmission star of rotary machine in beverage filling plant Wheel, flusher, sterilizer, tucker and/or dead lock) in be provided with the part of appliance of corresponding cincture, they correspondingly wrap Containing the housing parts moving together.The fixing housing parts of same setting, such as sidewall.Here, such as driving means, valve or The sensor of individual equipment parts and affiliated pipeline and cable are usually located at outside the housing parts of each activity, for example, be positioned at Close outside the Casing top in cleaning chamber.Here, the unit of single processing mechanism (such as closing means) is arranged on cleaning chamber Outside.Then, mechanism driven carries out corresponding translational motion and rotary motion relative to respective housing parts.
Accordingly, it is necessary to form transition member between at fixing housing parts with relative to the housing parts of its activity, They constitute the housing surrounding this cleaning chamber together.Therefore, the mistake between fixing housing parts and the housing parts of rotation Crossing and generally arranging seal on position, it is configured to labyrinth in the case of for example forming superpressure in cleaning chamber, should Superpressure provides invariable, outside sensing, to penetrate labyrinth air-flow.Additionally, also can apply so-called slow Rushing tank (Wasserschl sser), wherein the housing parts of sword shape immerses in the housing parts of channel-shaped, the wherein housing in channel-shaped Parts are provided with corresponding confining liquid.Latter seal is also referred to as hydrocone type seal.
It is also known that single, to penetrate housing parts extension processing mechanism (such as blocking mechanism) passes through corresponding structure The surge tank becoming seals.By such surge tank, the element of processing mechanism for example can be relative to housing seal, these elements It is rotated relative to housing and/or translational motion.
In order to realize corresponding sealing effectiveness between fixing housing parts and the housing parts of rotation, it is necessary that Always fill each confining liquid to the height set in advance of surge tank.For this by known in the art, if by accordingly Horizontal probe determination is not reaching to fill level set in advance, then be always intended to fill each independent groove by spells.This The shortcoming planting device is, or can not detect possible the filling and overflow of confining liquid, or needs another horizontal probe Identify that this fills situation, and need extra automation expense.
In addition from the prior art it is also known that fill each groove constantly, and unnecessary confining liquid is discharged by overfall. This point for example from DE 10 2,006 007 481 B3 it is known that wherein each groove of surge tank be filled with individually, and And determine whether to have reached corresponding compactedness individually through flowmeter in each surge tank.Correspondingly, herein from Dynamicization appropriate litigation fees is high.
Content of the invention
Therefore it is an object of the invention to, a kind of apparatus and method for processing at least one container are described, wherein improve The reliability of whole system and the expense reducing automation.
This purpose by a kind of have claim 1 feature, be able to reality for the device processing at least one container Existing.The scheme that is advantageously improved is drawn by dependent claims.
Correspondingly, it is proposed that a kind of device being used for processing at least one container, it is preferably used for cold sterilely by filler Matter is filling in a reservoir, and this device comprises the housing surrounding cleaning chamber, and the process of container can be carried out inside it, this housing There is fixing housing parts and the housing parts relative to its activity, wherein in order to make the housing parts fixed relative to activity Housing parts seal, the first level is provided with at least one first surge tank, and is being positioned under the first level The second level on be provided with at least one second surge tank.By the present invention, the outlet of the first surge tank and the second surge tank There is liquid between entrance to connect.
Connect owing to there is liquid between the outlet of the first surge tank and the entrance of the second surge tank, so the first buffering Tank (i.e. the surge tank of top) and the second surge tank (i.e. the surge tank of lower section) all pass through common entrance supply confining liquid.This Outward, may not necessarily by consequent waterfall (i.e. confining liquid flows to be positioned at the surge tank of lower from the surge tank being positioned at eminence) For example carried confining liquid extraly by pump because confining liquid due to difference in height and consequent hydrostatical pressure from First surge tank extrudes to the second surge tank.
The confining liquid conventional at this can be water, pure water and/or the water with disinfectant and/or bactericide.But also Other various confining liquids can be applied.
Another advantage of the device of this suggestion is, the beginning head piece for confining liquid only need to be connected with the first surge tank, therefore Pipe work and the expense thereof that confining liquid transmission to the second surge tank is carried out can be reduced to.By reducing the part participating in Quantity (in particular for controller and valve), it is possible to increase the reliability of this device and the cost reducing automation.
In addition the first buffering can also be detected by characteristic in the second rearmounted surge tank for the confining liquid by this device The correct occupied state of tank.If equipped with confining liquid in the such as second surge tank, then therefrom can draw, the first surge tank also fills Having confining liquid, because if not being so, confining liquid will not flow to the second surge tank from the first surge tank and will not fill Two surge tanks.In other words, confining liquid is initially introduced in the first surge tank (i.e. the surge tank of top), if be completely filled up, then seals Close hydrorrhea and flow to the second surge tank (i.e. the surge tank of lower section), until the second surge tank is also completely filled up.
The expense for possible automation can be reduced by this way, because by uniquely common flow sensing Device can detect the correct filling of the two surge tank after the second surge tank.Also can substantially simplify the filling of each surge tank Journey, because confining liquid only need to overflow to the surge tank of lower section from the surge tank of top, it is not necessary to the surge tank for lower section is controlled individually The guiding of confining liquid processed.It is preferred here that, flow sensor is arranged in the outlet of the second surge tank, is used for common detection institute There is the filling situation of preposition surge tank.
Can accurately monitor the filling of surge tank in the following manner, i.e. flow into the closing in the entrance of the first surge tank Liquid flow is measured by the flow sensor before the entrance being arranged on the first surge tank.By flowing out with from the second surge tank The difference that formed of confining liquid stream, can correspondingly infer abnormal conditions (leakage of such as 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 surge tank and the entrance of the second surge tank even Connect, it is not necessary to send single signal for the two surge tank again, but work as and the second surge tank also exists correct filling shape During state or when detecting the outflow from the second surge tank, also can infer the correct occupied state of the first surge tank.Therefore If being fully filled with the surge tank of lower section, be then able to know that by simple signal, by surge tank achieve complete and Meet the sealing of regulation.
If the overfall that the export mixes of each surge tank is the fill level having preset surge tank, then can be especially Fill level set in advance is kept simply in the first and second surge tanks.Correspondingly, confining liquid is initially introduced into the firstth, position In the surge tank of top, until it arrives at by overfall fill level set in advance.Then, confining liquid just overflows to 2nd, it is positioned in the surge tank of lower section.Therefore, it is possible to guarantee, fill the first surge tank to fill level set in advance, then Just fill the second surge tank to fill level set in advance.Then, due to detect from the outlet of the second surge tank to Occur in that closing liquid flow less, determine the correct filling of all surge tanks.
Additionally, confining liquid is supplied to the first surge tank and second to delay by the confining liquid memory being arranged on above it Rush tank.For example can apply the closing sterilization lid with corresponding outlet at this, be used for supplying the first surge tank and the second surge tank.So After, corresponding confining liquid preferably only flows to the first surge tank from the liquid memory being positioned above it, then proceedes to flow to arrange The second surge tank below it, without using pump.The complexity of whole equipment can also be reduced by this way, and therefore carry High reliability.Can also therefore save energy simultaneously.
Connected by the liquid between the outlet of the first surge tank and the entrance of the second surge tank, moreover it is possible to by this means for engaging In circulation conduit, but also engageable in discrete system, because flowing to lower section surge tank at this from top surge tank, this It is capable of circulation.But also can drive this flowing by the system of discrete (the such as time is in check).In this regard, towards The adverse current mouth of the outlet of the beginning head piece of the entrance of one surge tank and the second surge tank is joined in circulation conduit, and preferably from Beginning head piece flows through the first surge tank, liquid connects and the second surge tank is until adverse current mouth is to realize the circulation of confining liquid.Here, Flow through surge tank confining liquid waterfall shape from top to down.
In order to detect, whether the surge tank of top and the surge tank of lower section have all been completely filled up confining liquid, delay second Rushing and being preferably provided with flow sensor in the outlet of tank, can detect by it, whether confining liquid flows out simultaneously from the second surge tank And it whether is correspondingly completely filled up the first and second surge tanks.
In this external preferred improvement project, it is minimum that draining pipe is arranged on the first surge tank and the second surge tank During the liquid that point is connected connects, so as to empty each surge tank completely, such as in order to maintain and cleaning whole equipment.
If each outlet of other surge tanks for example keeps blocking owing to being configured to overfall, then can also pass through draining pipe By these surge tanks individually and separate emptying.
The preferably downstream in the outlet of at least the second surge tank arranges locking-valve and/or check-valves, to avoid on emptying During side's surge tank, confining liquid is due in the hydrostatic surge tank overflowing to lower section.
Can especially preferably level and second at the first surge tank delay above by the system that two surge tanks describe Rush and there is between the level of tank at least another surge tank, it by liquid connect in an identical manner with the first surge tank and second Surge tank communicates.Confining liquid can be supplied to other bufferings being arranged between the first and second surge tanks in an identical manner Tank, as described above as.Flow out from the surge tank of bottom accordingly, due to confining liquid, again it can be inferred that own The filling situation of front buffer tank.Here, confining liquid waterfall shape from top to down flow through the surge tank being connected with each other.Here, phase Ground is answered to refer to the series connection of different surge tank.
In order to flow through all surge tanks being connected with each other by liquid connection without problems, this liquid connects preferably such structure Become, i.e. confining liquid can flow through the surge tank being arranged on varying level waterfall shape.
Especially preferably arranging surge tank, rotary motion and/or the translational motion of processing mechanism are sealed by it, and First surge tank and/or the second surge tank have been connected with this surge tank sealing processing mechanism by liquid with connecting waterfall shape Come.Single surge tank can be supplied by this way continuously, wherein from top to bottom flow through confining liquid then waterfall shape These surge tanks.
First and/or second surge tank also can be sealed by this rotary motion by processing mechanism and/or translational motion The surge tank getting up is constituted.
In another preferred structural scheme, beginning head piece, countercurrently mouth and/or leakage fluid dram pass through medium rotary distributor At least one distribution track is transitioned on the housing parts of activity.Can also be supplied together by corresponding confining liquid by this way The groove that rotates and together with the surge tank that rotates, such as encapsulation process mechanism.
Above-mentioned purpose is achieved also by a kind of method of feature with claim 15.The scheme that is advantageously improved is led to Cross the dependent claims relevant with the method to draw.
Correspondingly, it is proposed that a kind of method processing at least one container in the housing surrounding cleaning chamber, preferably use Come cold sterilely by filling for filler in a reservoir, this housing has fixing housing parts and the housing relative to its activity Parts, wherein in order to make the housing parts fixed seal relative to movable housing parts, are provided with in the first level At least one first surge tank, and in the second level being positioned under the first level, it is provided with at least one second surge tank. By the present invention, confining liquid is directed in the second surge tank by the first surge tank.
By confining liquid is directed to the second surge tank from the first surge tank, also can realize above for device speak of excellent Point.

Detailed description of the invention
Describe preferred embodiment by accompanying drawing below.Here, identical, similar or phase same-action element is not With accompanying drawing indicates consistent reference marker, and partly omit the repeated description of these elements in the description that follows, with That avoids in specification is tediously long.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the device 1 for processing 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 the housing parts 24 relative to its activity.For example for for cold For filler is sterilely filled to the device in container, the form of the housing parts 24 of this activity is and each part of appliance The housing parts (such as equipment top cover) rotating together with (such as flusher, sterilizer, tucker and dead lock).Fixing housing The sidewall of e.g. this equipment of parts 22.
It in order to make the housing parts 22 fixed seal relative to movable housing parts 24, is provided with the first surge tank 3, it is arranged on the first horizontal N1On.Additionally, the second surge tank 4 is arranged on the second horizontal N2On.In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, The groove 40 of the groove 30 of the first surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4 is arranged on fixing housing parts 22.
In alternative, each groove the 30th, 40 or whole surge tank the 3rd, 4 be also secured on the housing parts 24 of activity.As The single processing mechanism (such as closing means) of fruit is arranged on the housing parts 24 of activity and the housing parts 24 with this activity Rotate together, then whole surge tank is contained on the housing parts 24 of activity.Correspondingly, can be by generally about described dress Put the surge tank that the rotation of 1 rotates jointly, realize corresponding processing mechanism relative to the rotary motion of Casing top or Translational motion, the precondition of this translational motion is corresponding immersion depth in respective grooves for the corresponding diagonal brace.Here, delay accordingly Rush the common rotation of tank groove beginning stream, discharge opeing and/or adverse current or import or derive be preferably able to rotate distributor by medium Corresponding track input and/or export.
In the schematic views shown in Fig. 1, merely illustrate the first surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4.But according to whole device Geometry, it is possible to multiple surge tank is set.Enable in particular in the following manner multiple surge tanks are connected with each other.
First surge tank 3 comprises cannelure 30, and it surrounds part of appliance concentrically towards the rotation of part of appliance At least a portion, this cannelure accommodates confining liquid 32, this confining liquid is padded up fill level set in advance h1.Confining liquid 32 e.g. water, pure water and/or the water with disinfectant and/or bactericide.
The annular diagonal brace 34 being connected with movable housing parts 24 immerses in this confining liquid 32.Diagonal brace 34 can be round equipment The rotation of parts rotates.By diagonal brace 34 is immersed in confining liquid 32, correspondingly seal mutually airtightly and be positioned at diagonal brace 34 Inner side and outer side on space.In order to also can mutually realize when housing parts the 22nd, 24 relative motion sealing reliably, it is necessary to Specific minimum packed height, fill level h preferably set in advance is reached in groove 301。
Second surge tank 4 has substantially the same construction and has groove 40 same accordingly, and it is by confining liquid 42 It is padded up fill level h2.The diagonal brace 44 being arranged on the housing parts 24 of activity immerses in confining liquid 42.
First surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4 are by together with fluidly connecting 5 direct correlation.This fluidly connects 5 at this so Constituting, i.e. it guides to the entrance 48 of the second surge tank 4 from the outlet 36 of the first surge tank 3.Correspondingly, confining liquid 32 passes through Outlet 36 is flowed out from the first surge tank 3, and by fluidly connecting 5 entrances 48 flowing to the second surge tank 4, and correspondingly Fill the second surge tank 4 by the confining liquid flowing out from the first surge tank 3.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the outlet 36 of the first surge tank 3 is configured to overfall, can be simply by it The level of confining liquid is maintained at fill level h set in advance1.If it has reached desired fill level h in groove 301, Then the confining liquid 32 from the first surge tank 3 is correspondingly discharged from the outlet 36 being configured to overfall.But also can be with simply Mode stops the overflow of groove 30, because fill level not can exceed that outlet 36 height set in advance by being configured to overfall Degree.
Because the horizontal N of the first surge tank 31It is positioned at the horizontal N of the second surge tank 42On, and the filling out of the first surge tank 3 The flat h of water-filling1Expectation fill level h particular on the second surge tank 42On, so while confining liquid 32 is via the first surge tank The outlet 36 of 3 is discharged, and is capable of the reliable filling of the second surge tank 4, without particularly controlling for this or regulate.This Outward, also can omit the pump for confining liquid or other conveying devices, it supplies confining liquid directly to the second surge tank 4.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the fill level h of the second surge tank 42Again by the outlet being configured to overfall 46 realize, it is responsible for keeping fill level.
Confining liquid is transferred in the corresponding entrance 38 of the first surge tank 3 by beginning head piece 6.Can control this beginning by valve 60 Stream, and confining liquid can be measured towards the flowing of entrance 38 by flow sensor 70.If confining liquid is filled up completely with has expired first Surge tank 3 so that it is by outlet 36 spilling, then it is by fluidly connecting 5 outlets 48 flowing to the second surge tank 4.If the Two surge tanks 4 are also completely filled up so that confining liquid, then can be by the stream being arranged on adverse current mouth 8 by outlet 46 spilling Quantity sensor 72 detects this adverse current.First tapping valve 90 and the second tapping valve 94 are closed in the filling process, and they also will Explained in detail below.Locking-valve 80 is positioned in the connection conduit 7 between outlet 46 and adverse current mouth 8, and this locking-valve was being filled In journey and open in equipment running process.Advantageously, this connection conduit 7 led in adverse current mouth 8 before flow sensor 72. Therefore ensuring that, confining liquid actually also can be detected by flow sensor 72.
Without occurring that the 3rd, loss of liquid and two surge tanks 4 are all completely filled up, then ideally flow into quite In adverse current.Possible loss of liquid can be balanced at this by arranging corresponding tolerance, this loss of liquid e.g. by evaporation or Slight splash causes, and this splash is owing to fixing housing parts 22 is relative to the relative motion of movable housing parts 24 Cause.But can send warning signal when exceeding specific tolerance, thus suppose there is leakage, and for example by whole equipment Stop.
Correspondingly, after the filling time set in advance, should have invariable volume flow in adverse current mouth 8, should Volume flow is approximately equivalent to the volume flow in entrance 6, and within this filling time, the first surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4 are all complete It is entirely closed liquid to fill up.
By this way, just can particularly simple the 3rd, the two surge tank 4 be carried out by measuring the volume flow that flows out Monitoring.
Whether the 3rd, 4 actual fill to monitor the two surge tank, this flowmeter 72 puts in adverse current mouth 8 completely.Borrow Helping this flowmeter 72 can determine, whether liquid stream penetrates the two surge tank on the whole.If this occurs, then false Determine the two surge tank and be padded up fill level h set in advance by each confining liquid1Or h2, because will not be by outlet 36 Or outlet 46 spilling from the first surge tank 3 or the second surge tank 4.
But in order to enable to monitor exactly the occupied state of the first surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4, can be in the first buffering Occupied state sensor 74 is set on tank 3 and occupied state sensor 76 is set on the second surge tank 4, although they are equally Optionally, but occupied state can be accurately determined by them.
It in order to empty the first surge tank 3 and the second surge tank 4, is additionally provided with draining pipe 9.By the first tapping valve 90, the floss hole 92 of the bottom of the groove 30 being preferably placed at the first surge tank 3 can be opened.By tapping valve 94, can open It is preferably placed at the floss hole 96 of the bottom of the groove 40 of the second surge tank 4.By opening the first tapping valve 90, can correspondingly Confining liquid 32 is complete to be emptied from the first surge tank 3, and can empty second similarly completely by opening the second tapping valve 94 Surge tank 4.It it is an advantage to be able to first empty the first surge tank 3, and is capable of identify that this is completely clear by flow sensor 72 Empty.Alternatively, if confining liquid is discharged completely in the channel interface (not shown) of adverse current mouth 8 from the first surge tank 3, then this A little also can be realized by emptying notice probe (Leermeldesonde) in this position.When emptying the first surge tank 3, envelope Close the locking-valve 80 connecting in conduit 7.It is possible to advantageously stop, flowed out from the first surge tank 3 by hydrostatic impact Confining liquid be pressed in the second surge tank 4 by connecting conduit 7, and make confining liquid overflow.Non-return for example also can be set Valve replaces locking-valve 80, and this check-valves prevents confining liquid from overflowing to the second surge tank by connecting conduit 7 from the first surge tank 3 In 4.After the first surge tank 3 is emptied completely, the second tapping valve 94 can be opened, in order to empty the second surge tank.
Emptying of surge tank 3 of top both can be monitored by flowmeter 72, it is possible to is supervised by occupied state sensor 74 Control.Correspondingly, emptying of lower section surge tank 4 can monitor again by flowmeter 72 or lower section occupied state sensor 76.
This beginning head piece 6 is so constituted in preferred scheme, and i.e. confining liquid is by being arranged on fill level h1On deposit Reservoir flows into, therefore, it is possible to bring confining liquid into accordingly by simply becoming a mandarin.This point is for example by being disposed over delaying Rushing the closing sterilization lid on tank 3 to realize, this closing sterilization lid has corresponding overfall.Can also omit corresponding by this way The pump of confining liquid.
