Definitions

  • the packaging in boxes of food products such as sausage meat or the like, comprising in particular fairly large pieces of meat, is carried out by means of automatic devices which measure the quantity of product to be introduced into each box and which cut the sausage of product introduced.
  • cones in the field under consideration, which provide this filling and this finishing with more or less happiness. All are made so as to enter the container to the bottom before delivering the product so as to start filling from the bottom and gradually move the horn away from the container as the level of product rises in the container so avoid air inclusions in the box.
  • some of these devices include in the horn a plunger which pushes a determined quantity of product into a stuffing duct formed in the horn and which constitutes a shutter drawer for closing a lateral supply of this stuffing duct.
  • the drawer can be driven with a rotational movement.
  • the main drawback of this arrangement lies in the fact that the pumped product sticks strongly to the plunger. In addition, it is unsuitable for filling high or high-speed boxes.
  • the outlet opening of the horn is closed by a valve which has the drawback of hindering the passage of the product.
  • the knife is noticeably eccentric with respect to the axis of the conduit and therefore the filling of the container cannot be carried out from a central area. It is the same for a known horn in which the closure and the cutting are carried out by a sleeve external to the horn with a bottom provided with an eccentric orifice which may or may not be placed in correspondence with the outlet orifice. Its use is therefore limited to cylindrical containers.
  • a known device comprises as a closure member a spherical ball or a rotary cylindrical element pierced with a through channel.
  • a spherical ball or a rotary cylindrical element pierced with a through channel.
  • the edges of the through channel cooperate with a sleeve external to the horn provided with a bottom forming a bearing for the ball to cut the product.
  • the socket can be rotated.
  • the horn can only be suitable for cylindrical containers.
  • the present invention intends to remedy these drawbacks by proposing an improvement to the filling cones with closing ball.
  • said annular part comprises on its external lateral edge a toothed drive crown capable of cooperating with a pinion carried by a longitudinal axis rotatably mounted inside the end piece.
  • said ball has an outer flat which is located in the plane of the front surface of the end piece when the ball is in its closed position.
  • the aforementioned through channel is flared on the side opposite the aforementioned cutting edge.
  • the horn shown in these figures essentially consists of an inner core 1 capable of being housed in an outer sleeve 2. Mounted one inside the other, the core 1 and the sleeve 2 are made integral by means not shown .
  • the core 1 consists of two half-shells 1a and 1b coupled to each other by means of screws 1c. These half-shells internally delimit a cylindrical conduit 3 and their overall external surface is also cylindrical with a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the sleeve 2. It will be noted that the external cylinder is in a nonlimiting manner, eccentric relative to the internal conduit , the half-shell 1a being provided with elements for controlling the operation of the horn which will be described below.
  • the socket 2 has a front front wall 2a provided with an orifice 4 capable of being placed in alignment with the conduit 3.
  • a spherical ball 5 articulated in the core 1 has been placed around a diametrical axis perpendicular to the joint plane of the two shells, that is to say perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 2.
  • This ball 5 is hollowed out with a through channel 6 which can be placed in the extension of the conduit 3 as shown in FIG. 1 in a first position of the ball 5 around its articulation or which can be placed substantially perpendicular to this conduit as this is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the ball 5 functions as a shutter for the conduit 3.
  • rods 7 and 8 freely mounted in slots 7a formed longitudinally in the half-shell 1a and articulated with the ball 5 at the level of flats 5a which it has perpendicular to its pivot axis.
  • the free end of rods 7 and 8 is capable of being coupled to a drive member, not shown.
  • annular part 9 which has a spherical central recess 10 opening out with the same radius as that of the ball 5.
  • this annular part is centered on the ball 5 and is held there in abutment by the front wall 2a of the sleeve 2 when the core 1 is housed there.
  • This part is therefore free to rotate about an axis corresponding to that of the duct 3 and is externally provided with a toothing 11.
  • a shaft 12 is capable of rotating. It is fitted at its ends with pinions 12a and 12b, the pinion 12a meshing with the toothing 11 above, the pinion 12b cooperating with a rotation drive member not shown. It will be noted that the axis 12 is held in position at one of its ends by a bearing 13 formed in the wall 2a of the sleeve 2. Another bearing is produced towards the pinion 12b in the longitudinal recess of the half-shell 1a.
  • intersection 14 of the channel 6 constitutes an edge, part of which cooperates with the edges of the spherical recess of the part 9 formed by the intersection 15 of this recess with the external face of part 9.
  • This intersection is sharpened with a sharp blade and the cooperation of the two edges 14 and 15 constitutes a sectioning member for the product flowing through the end of the horn when the ball passes from its position in dashed lines to its position in solid lines in FIG. 2 in the direction of arrow A.
  • the cut is made in a clear manner because the edge 15 is in movement, the part 9 being driven in rotation by the shaft 12.
  • the ball 5 has an external flat 17 which, when the duct 3 is closed, is contained in the plane of the face 18 of the wall 2a of the sleeve 2.
  • This arrangement gives the horn a frontal surface without projection which therefore leaves a very smooth product surface.
  • this absence of projection makes it possible to scrape the end of the horn by the upper edges of the container.
  • conduit 6 has an end 6a opposite that of the product outlet which is very flared which makes it possible to avoid shearing of the product at this end between the core 1 and the ball 5, shearing which could in particular deteriorate the pieces of material that can be crushed without being completely cut.
