Description

Multiple ring bowls for machines for filling and finishing Paper bags or other containers made of suitable material.

The invention relates to machines for filling and sealing bags made of paper or other suitable material.

In the known machines, the bags or other containers automatically in a known manner on a continuously moving conveyor belt given, and so the filling devices or measuring beakers arranged on the circumference of the boiler fed.

The bags are in receiving boxes, the distance between them corresponds to the distance between the filling devices on the pitch circle of the boiler.

The filling kettles for non-carbonated beverages are mostly Deep-drawn from rustproof sheet of moderate thickness, as opposed to cast or welded kettles for beverages or liquids with added carbon dioxide. The measuring cup is emptied and refilled in the filler kettle during the rotation of the boiler in a known manner.

The speed with which these operations can be carried out partly determines the performance of the machine.

Among the numerous types of beverages currently on the market are Even for small and medium-sized companies, the more machines are necessary, the more Beverage types should be filled, unless otherwise a machine after Filling changed from milk to cocoa or another mixed milk drink, for example shall be. Apart from the loss of time and the costs involved in changing over every day a machine, the special facilities on the machine work more or less at the expense of simplicity and functional reliability, because not Only the drink is changed if necessary, but also the packaging so the bag or the like. According to appearance and size.

Here is a time and cost saving and therefore more rational way of working to enable is the object of the present invention.

The invention consists in that a ring bowl, for example in the form as used in carbonated beverage filling machines by insertion an intermediate ring or a partition into two ring bowls, one inner and one an outer one, with the same central axis, is divided, so that in this one For example, two different drinks or liquids are separated from each other can be in the boiler.

The outer ring bowl carries the radially arranged ones on its outer circumference Filling cells with the measuring cups.

The number of filling cells is an even number in the present case, the same

also the number of receiving boxes for the bags on the transport chain.

For a better understanding, the filling cells are marked with the digits 6 u. 7 in the order 6, 7, 6, 7 ...

All "6" cells are through holes with the inner annulus, all of them 7 "cells are connected to the outer ring bowl in the same way, or vice versa.

Each ring bowl has a feed pipe 18 with a shut-off valve 19, which is arranged stationary and without connection with the itself during operation rotating boiler is freely immersed in this except for one recognized as advantageous Distance from the boiler bottom. For example, for the execution of the liquid level regulation is each of the two shut-off valves by a float 25 in a known manner actuated via lever 20, toggle lever 21. The floats are advantageously located radially opposite the supply pipes, without connection to the boiler, freely immersed in these. Supply pipes and float arms are on the fixed central column 22, about which the boiler is rotatably mounted.

Another possibility of level regulation, known in principle is shown in Fig. 4.

The tubular gate valve 23 is easy on the supply pipe 18 slidably placed and by hinge 24 with one end of in his Middle of the center column 22 pivotally mounted balance beam 25 connected while at the other end of the balance beam 25 the associated float 26 is attached. When the liquid level rises, the float rises and pushes the gate valve 23 via the outflow openings 2j In the known designs, the tubular Gate valve at the same time the central axis and the leadership of the mostly circular flat float on the supply pipe and is used in normal boilers.

The drawing shows an example embodiment of the invention and although: Fig. 1 shows a partial cross-section through the ring bowl and filling cell "6".

Fig. 2 shows another cross-section through the ring bowl and filling cell "7".

Fig. 3 is a partial top view of the ring bowl without a cover.

Fig. 4 shows the principle of an advantageous liquid level regulation.

Fig. 5 shows the principle of the ring bowl with the attached Conveyor belt and two loading stations.

The feed stations 1 and 2 indicated in Fig. 4, which are also at the same time can be designed as bag-making devices, give the bag or The like. Automatically on the conveyor belt 3 in each case in the one on the conveyor belt attached storage boxes 4.

With the continuously moving conveyor belt 3 in the In the direction of the ring bowl 5, the bags get under the filling cells 6 and 7 and are in the time of the revolution or the revolution of the ring bowl 5 by automatic Leakage of the measuring cup 11 is filled.

The above-mentioned details 1, 2, 3, 4 are for explanatory purposes only and do not belong to the subject of the invention.

With a double ring cup chosen for example as shown in Figs.

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 would be the bags or the like under the filling cells 6 with milk if necessary, the bags under the filling cells 7 with optionally cocoa, Buttermilk or another milk mixed drink can be filled at the same time.

With a triple ring bowl, three different types of beverages could be produced be filled at the same time.

According to Fig. 2, 3 and 4, the ring bowl 5 is created by inserting the partition 8 divided into the two ring bowls 5a and 5b. On the outer wall 9 of the outer ring bowl 5a are the filling cells 6, 7, in which the measuring cups 11 can be raised and lowered are used. Both ring bowls 5a and 5b are through holes 12 and 12 'with alternately connected to the associated filling cells 6, 7, 6, 7 ....... etc., see above that in the ring bowls and fillets the liquid level is the same and the same liquid each time.

After the filling time has ended, the ring bowls and filling cells can completely emptied through the holes 13 and 14 provided for the drain cock.

As an additional safeguard against mixing of the liquids The bulges 15, 16, for example, can be used to overflow.
