- An advantage resulting from having the annular cavity 82 is that the vertical travel distance of the valve 24 and valve rod 26 is substantially reduced, thereby resulting in the valve 24 being more responsive for both its closing and opening functions, the closing action functioning on the order of a "sink stopper" effect, i.e., the suction and/or inertial effects of the moving liquid serving to speed up the closing.
- An additional advantage is minimizing wear of the diaphragm due to the reduced flexing thereof.
- the invention provides a versatile filler valve arrangement for various liquid products, as well as for various size containers, and one which is highly efficient in operation so as to be capable of meeting the fast production requirements of today's conventional forming, filling and sealing machines.
Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to filler valves for liquids and, more particularly, to a diaphragm actuated filling valve including a sleeve nozzle which is adaptable to being inserted into a container to fill the container with a liquid as the container and sleeve nozzle are separated from one another at a predetermined rate.
- Heretofore, container filler mechanisms have generally included nozzle means disposed above an open-top container which drop the liquid product the full depth of the container, resulting in the formation of foam when the container is full, which tends to interfere with the top sealing operation. Other known filler units are adapted to either being inserted into a container or to having a container fitted around the filler unit in order to progressively fill the container as the filler unit is removed relative thereto, thereby tending to minimize the formation of foam. Hereinafter, such filler units will be referred to "bottom-up" filler valves.
- A general object of the invention is to provide an improved bottom-up type filler valve.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a diaphragm actuated, bottom-up filler valve.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a diaphragm actuated, bottom-up filler valve including interchangeable sleeve nozzles suitable, respectively, for milk or clear juice products and buttermilk or pulpy products such as orange juice.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a diaphragm actuated bottom-up filler valve including interchangeable sleeve nozzles wherein an upper valving means may serve as a combination valve and orifice in one embodiment and an orifice only in another embodiment, while a lower valving means performs a flow directing and a flow directing and sealing function, respectively, in the two embodiments.
- A still further object of the invention is to provide α-liquid filler arrangement including upper, main and lower bodies, with a diaphragm assembly mounted between the main and upper bodies, an inlet into the side of the main body, combined valve and orifice means operatively positioned substantially at the juncture of the main and lower bodies, and one of a diffuser, a lip seal, or a valve at the bottom end of the lower body, each of which supports a column of liquid product, the diffuser and lip seal by capillary action, and the valve by virtue of being closed, until a measured volume of liquid product is pumped into the side inlet by a remote timed piston or other suitable means, whereupon an equivalent measured volume is discharged from the lower body through its diffuser or valve into a container which may be mounted around the lower body and filled as it is being pulled from around the lower body by suitable external means.
- These and other objects and advantages will become more apparent when reference is made to the following description and accompanying drawings.
-
- Figure 1 is a side cross-sectional view of the invention;
- Figures 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of alternate nozzle arrangements which may be interchanged with the lower body portion of the Figure 1 structure; and
- Figure 4 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of an alternate arrangement of the valve and seat portion of the Figure 1 structure.
- Referring now to the drawings in greater detail, Figure 1 illustrates a
filler valve assembly 10 including amain body section 12, anupper section 14 and alower section 16. Themain body section 12 includes a cylindrical housing 18 having aninlet connection 20 formed in a side wall adjacent the upper end thereof. A frustro-conicallyshaped seat 22 is formed on the inner lower portion of thebody section 12 just below an orifice area consisting of a substantiallycylindrical surface 23a adjacent theseat 22, and a steeper frusto-conical surface 23b above thesurface 23a, for a purpose to be described. Avalve member 24 having a frustro-conically shaped peripheral edge is mounted on avalve rod 26 for axial movement within thebody section 12. Aguide member 28 is formed on thevalve rod 26 for cooperation with the housing 18 to retain the valve rod in axial alignment in thesection 12 such that, when closed, thevalve member 24 engages thesear 22 in a sealing relationship. - A
lightweight diaphragm 30 preferably formed of a suitable fabric material covered with a rubber compound, such as silicon, is confined at its peripheral edge between the upper andmain body sections valve rod 26 extends through anopening 32 formed in the center of thediaphragm 30. The latter is confined between aretainer flange 34 formed on thevalve rod 26 and a centrally perforated cup-shaped piston member 36 secured around the valve rod and against thediaphragm 30 by alocknut 38. Avent hole 39 is formed in a wall of theupper body section 14. Aspring 40 is mounted between themember 36 and anend wall 41 of theupper body section 14. If desired for particular products, a pneumatic or other type pressure means may be used in lieu of, or in addition to, thespring 40 to assure faster response time. - Three types of
lower body section 16 are interchangeably connected to the housing 18 of themain body section 12 via a suitable snap-on pin and groove or bayonet-type connection 42. An "0" ring seal 44 is mounted between the lower and main body sections in agroove 45 formed in the main body section. One type oflower body section 16, which shall hereinafter be referred to assleeve nozzle 16a, includes an outlet opening 46 defined by aninternal flange 48 formed at the lower end thereof. Adiffuser 50 is removeably mounted on the inner surface of theflange 48 and retained thereagainst by a spring 52 mounted between the diffuser and the lower edge of themain body section 12. Thissleeve nozzle 16a is preferred for use with regular milk and clear juices. Thediffuser 50 may consist of a screen pack including a plurality of openings (not shown) small enough to hold liquid thereabove by virtue of capillary action until such time as a pressure is directed to the liquid. It should be noted that a sleeve nozzle of the type described is. adaptable to the above referenced bottom-up type filling arrangements for containers, such as that represented at 53 and shown surrounding thesleeve nozzle 16a. - The second type of
lower body section 16, which shall hereinafter be referred to as sleeve nozzle 16b, shown in Figure 2, includes an outlet opening 54 defined by an internallytapered flange 56 formed at the lower end thereof. A conically shaped enlargement 57 formed on the lower end of arod 58 terminates in a cylindricallip seal surface 60. Therod 58 includes aflat extension 62 at its upper end adapted to being mounted in aslot 64 formed in the end cf theupper valve rod 26 by apin 66 extended through alignedopenings respective rods rod 58 for cooperation with the wall of thelower section 16 such that thelip seal surface 60 is aligned so as to fit just inside the outlet opening 54 in a capillary seal relationship therewith. Aspherical extension 74 is formed on the outer face of thelip seal surface 60 to aid in shaping the liquid flow pattern when thelip seal surface 60 is open with respect to theopening 54. The sleeve nozzle 16b is preferred for use with heavy and pulpy products, such as buttermilk and orange juice. - The third type of
lower body section 16, which shall hereinafter be referred to as sleeve nozzle 16c, shown in Figure 3, includes avalve 76 formed on the end of therod 58 and which cooperates with aseat 78 formed at the lower end of the sleeve nozzle. In this embodiment when thevalve 76/78 is closed, theupper valve 22/24 is open, serving as an orifice. Thespherical extension 74 now serves as the sealing surface in addition to shaping the liquid flow pattern. - In operation, the
valve assembly 10 is first primed such that themain body 12 and thelower nozzle section 16 are filled with a selected liquid product. The assembly is then ready for a production run, whereupon a measured volume of fluid product is communicated from a tank (not shown) via a timed piston or other suitable arrangement (not shown) to theinlet connection 20 and, thence, into themain body section 12. Upon entering the latter section, the assembly consisting of thediaphragm 30, theretainer flange 34 and thepiston member 36 are urged upwardly against the force of thespring 40, the air therein being purged through thevent hole 39. This causes thevalve member 24 to be lifted from theseat 22, within theorifice surface 23a for small volumes, such as half pints, or upwardly within the orifice surface 23b for larger volumes, such as pints or quarts. This causes the incoming product to be directed through thevalve area 22/24, thereby urging an equivalent measured volume of fluid which was confined in the lower and main body to be urged through thediffuser 50sections container 53 relative to thesleeve nozzle 16. Once the pumping stroke is completed, thespring 40 urges thediaphragm 30 and, hence, thevalve 24 downwardly until the latter once again is seated on theseat 22. The incoming liquid replaces the volume of liquid in the main andlower body section - Similarly, a fluid product is contained in the
main body 12 and between thevalve member 24 and the lowerlip seal surface 60 of the sleeve nozzle 16b as a result of the capillary seal effect between thelip seal surface 60 and theadjacent opening 54. The operation is the same as described above relative to thesleeve nozzle 16a once a timed pulse of liquid is communicated through theinlet connection 20. - When the sleeve nozzle 16c is used, there likewise is a full column of liquid product above the closed
bottom valve 76/78. When a measured volume of new liquid product is pumped into themain body 12, the resultant force against thediaphragm assembly 30/34/36 lifts therods lower valve 76/78 to discharge the designated volume of fluid into the awaiting container, as the latter is lowered from around the sleeve nozzle 16c. - Referring now to Figure 4, it may be noted that the
main body section 12 includes the frusto-cor.ical?y shapedvalve 24 and thevalve rod 26 as in the Figure 1 arrangement, and avalve seat 80 which differs from thevalve seat 22 in that the frusto-conical surface thereof extends into the wall of the main body housing 18 to blend into anannular groove 82 forming an annular cavity in the wall of the housing intermediate theseat 80 and thecylindrical surface 23a. Such an arrangement is compatible with the function of thediffuser 50 of the Figure 1sleeve nozzle 16a. An advantage resulting from having theannular cavity 82 is that the vertical travel distance of thevalve 24 andvalve rod 26 is substantially reduced, thereby resulting in thevalve 24 being more responsive for both its closing and opening functions, the closing action functioning on the order of a "sink stopper" effect, i.e., the suction and/or inertial effects of the moving liquid serving to speed up the closing. An additional advantage is minimizing wear of the diaphragm due to the reduced flexing thereof. - It should be noted that, while the
annular cavity 82 alteration would not be compatible with the lip seal arrangement of the Figure 2 embodiment, the sleeve nozzle 16c andvalve 76 andseat 78 of the Figure 3 embodiment could be interchanged with thesleeve nozzle 16a without any ill effect. - It should be apparent that the invention provides a versatile filler valve arrangement for various liquid products, as well as for various size containers, and one which is highly efficient in operation so as to be capable of meeting the fast production requirements of today's conventional forming, filling and sealing machines.
- While but three general embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, other modifications thereof are possible.
