Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant le nettoyage d'au moins une tête de remplissage sans démontage de celle-ci.The present invention relates to a device for cleaning at least one filling head without disassembly thereof.
On a déjà décrit dans le document FR-A-2.290.259 un procédé et un dispositif permettant le nettoyage d'une tête de remplissage sans démontage de celle-ci et sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser le dispositif habituel de commande d'ouverture de la tête de remplissage notamment afin d'éviter un échauffement du dispositif de commande d'ouverture dans le cas d'une tête de remplissage à commande électromagnétique.Document FR-A-2,290,259 has already described a method and a device allowing the cleaning of a filling head without dismantling it and without it being necessary to use the usual device for controlling d opening of the filling head in particular to avoid overheating of the opening control device in the case of a filling head with electromagnetic control.
Selon ce procédé, on ouvre mécaniquement le clapet de retenue par l'introduction d'un collecteur comportant un élément propre à commander mécaniquement l'ouverture du clapet de retenue et permettant ainsi d'effectuer en particulier le nettoyage de la tête de remplissage dans le sens habituel de l'écoulement,According to this method, the check valve is mechanically opened by the introduction of a manifold comprising an element capable of mechanically controlling the opening of the check valve and thus making it possible in particular to clean the filling head in the usual direction of flow,
Un tel procédé et le dispositif correspondant donnent toute satisfaction, Toutefois, dans le cas d'un carrousel notamment pour le dosage pondéral comportant de nombreuses têtes de remplissage il s'avère fastidieux et complexe au point de vue de l'encombrémemt de disposer un collecteur sous chaque tête de remplissage ou même une série de collecteurs associés et il est donc apparu souhaitable de trouver un dispositif qui soit d'un maniement plus aisé et d'un encombrement réduit tout en permettant d'assurer la double fonction de remplissage en position normale et de maintien du clapet de retenue mobile en position ouverte lorsque l'on veut évacuer de façon continue le produit se trouvant dans la trémie d'alimentation de la tête de remplissage.Such a method and the corresponding device give full satisfaction. However, in the case of a carousel, in particular for the metering by weight comprising numerous filling heads, it turns out to be tedious and complex from the point of view of the bulk of having a collector. under each filling head or even a series of associated collectors and it therefore appeared desirable to find a device which is easier to handle and takes up less space while ensuring the double filling function in normal position and holding the movable check valve in the open position when it is desired to continuously evacuate the product in the feed hopper of the filling head.
Un objet de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif qui soit en permanence prêt à assurer l'évacuation du produit s'écoulant en dehors de la fonction habituelle de remplissage, notamment lors du nettoyage, et qui puisse être mis dans la position d'évacuation par une opération simple n'affectant pas de façon notable l'encombrement des têtes de remplissage.An object of the present invention is to provide a device which is permanently ready to ensure the discharge of the product flowing out of the usual filling function, in particular during cleaning, and which can be put in the position of evacuation by a simple operation that does not significantly affect the size of the filling heads.
Par rapport à l'état de la technique antérieure reflété par le document cité ci-dessus qui décrit un dispositif permettant le nettoyage d'au moins une tête de remplissage, chaque tête de remplissage comprenant un clapet de retenue mobile pouvant être maintenue en position ouverte par un moyen mécanique, l'invention se caractérise en se que le dispositif comporte comportant en outre un élément collecteur fixe disposé autour de la tête de remplissage, chaque élément collecteur comportant une ouverture disposée à l'aplomb de la tête de remplissage et propre à recevoir un élément d'obturation commandant l'ouverture du clapet de retenue mobile lors de la mise en place dudit élément d'obturation dans l'ouverture de l'élément collecteur.Compared to the state of the prior art reflected in the document cited above which describes a device allowing the cleaning of at least one filling head, each filling head comprising a movable check valve which can be held in the open position by mechanical means, the invention is characterized in that the device comprises further comprising a fixed collecting element arranged around the filling head, each collecting element comprising an opening arranged directly above the filling head and suitable for receiving a closure element controlling the opening of the movable check valve when the said closure element is placed in the opening of the collecting element.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de la présente invention, l'élément d'obturation comporte une collerette annulaire venant appuyer sur un manchon rétractable disposé dans la tête de remplissage, la collerette comportant au moins une ouverture radiale et le manchon rétractable comportant une tige de commande de l'ouverture du clapet maintenue par une bague de centrage disposée dans le conduit d'alimentation.According to other characteristics of the present invention, the closure element comprises an annular flange pressing on a retractable sleeve disposed in the filling head, the flange comprising at least one radial opening and the retractable sleeve comprising a control rod. of the valve opening maintained by a centering ring arranged in the supply duct.
Suivant une autre caractéristique plus particuliére, l'élément d'obturation comporte un joint annulaire coopérant avec la paroi interne du collecteur qui lui est associé et chaque élément d'obturation est monté sur le collecteur associé au moyen de dispositifs à baïonnette pouvant tourner librement sur l'élément d'obturation.According to another more particular characteristic, the closure element comprises an annular seal cooperating with the internal wall of the collector which is associated with it and each closure element is mounted on the associated collector by means of bayonet devices which can rotate freely on the shutter element.
Enfin, selon l'invention, les différents éléments collecteurs peuvent être réunis par une tubulure d'évacuation joignant les difféxents éléments collecteurs et débouchant sur un orifice d'évacuation unique.Finally, according to the invention, the various collecting elements can be joined by an evacuation pipe joining the different collecting elements and opening onto a single evacuation orifice.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront ci-après lors de la description suivante faite en liaison avec les dessins ci-joints dans lesquels:
- La figure 1 est une vue de face du dispositif selon l'invention, l'élément d'obturation étant mis en place et la tête de remplissage comportant en outre un dispositif de commande de remplissage électromagnétique; et
- La figure 2 comprend deux demi-coupes du dispositif selon la figure 1, le dispositif de commande électromagnétique n'étant pas représenté; la partie gauche est une vue en coupe selon un plan diamétral parallèle au plan de la figure 1, la tête de remplissage étant en position normale d'utilisation; la partie droite est une vue en coupe selon un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 1, l'élément d'obturation étant mis en place.
- Figure 1 is a front view of the device according to the invention, the closure element being placed and the filling head further comprising an electromagnetic filling control device; and
- Figure 2 comprises two half-sections of the device according to Figure 1, the electromagnetic control device not being shown; the left part is a sectional view along a diametrical plane parallel to the plane of Figure 1, the filling head being in the normal position of use; the right part is a sectional view along a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, the closure element being put in place.
En faisant référence à la figure 1, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte une conduite d'alimentation 1 sur laquelle est montée une commande électromagnétique 2 connue en soi. A l'extrémité de la conduite d'alimentation 1 on a fixé un corps de tête de remplissage 3 entouré sur une partie de sa hauteur par un élément collecteur 4 sur lequel sont fixées des tubulures d'évacuation 5 débouchant dans une cavité interne de l'élément collecteur.Referring to Figure 1, the device according to the invention comprises a supply line 1 on which is mounted an
La paroi externe de l'élément collecteur 4 comporte des parties en méplat 6 réunies par des parois sensiblement cylindriques 7 comportant un rebord 8.The external wall of the
L'élément d'obturation 9 comprend une bague mobile 10 comportant, de façon symétrique par rapport à l'axe de la tête de remplissage, des bras 11 se terminant chacun par une dent 12 pouvant coopérer avec le rebord 8.The
En faisant maintenant référence à la figure 2, on voit que la tête de remplissage comprend un clapet de retenue en forme de bille 13 pouvant coopérer avec un siège de clapet 14. A l'intérieur de la tête de remplissage qui a une section sensiblement circulaire, on a disposé un manchon porte-grille rétractable 15 supportant un barillet 16 et une série de grilles anti-mousse 17. Le manchon comporte en outre un arceau sensiblement diamétral 18 prolongè à sa partie supérieure par une tige de commande 19 sensiblement axiale s'étendant dans une bague de centrage 20 comprenant des ailettes radiales 21 formant butée pour un ressort de rappel 22 maintenu en compression entre les ailettes radiales 21 d'une part et la surface supérieure sensiblement horizontale de l'arceau 18.Referring now to Figure 2, it can be seen that the filling head comprises a ball-
La surface extérieure du manchon rétractable 15 comporte en outre un épaulement 23 qui, pour une position normale de fonctionnement de la tête de remplissage vient en butée contre un joint annulaire 24 disposé dans une gorge interne à l'extrémité de la tête de remplissage.The outer surface of the
L'élément d'obturation 9 comprend un corps sensiblement circulaire 25 comportant à sa périphérie un joint annulaire 26 coopérant avec la paroi interne sensiblement cylindrique 27 de l'élément collecteur 4.The
Un élément de liaison 28 est fixé à la partie inférieure du corps 25 de l'élément d'obturation et porte un disque terminal fixe 29 créant ainsi un espace entre le corps 25 de l'élément d'obturation et le disque 29 dans lequel est disposée la bague mobile 10.A connecting
A sa partie supérieure, le corps de l'élément d'obturation 25 comporte une collerette annulaire 30 dont le rebord supérieur vient en butée contre l'extrémité inférieure du manchon mobile 15 lors de l'insertion de l'élément d'obturation dans la cavité interne de l'élément collecteur. La collerette 30 est percée de lumières radiales 31.At its upper part, the body of the
En liaison avec la partie gauche de la figure 2, on constate que lors de l'utilisation normale de la tête de remplissage, le clapet 13 repose normalement sur son siège d'où il peut être soulevé par le moyen de commande de remplissage habituel approprié, la tige de commande 19 étant maintenue écartée du clapet de retenue par le ressort 22 qui maintient simultanément une étanchéité entre le manchon rétractable 15 et le corps de la tête de remplissage en appuyant fermement le manchon 15 sur le joint annulaire 24. Lors du fonctionnement de la commande d'ouverture du clapet, le produit contenu dans la conduite d'alimentation peut donc s'écouler entre les ailettes 21 de la bague de centrage 20 puis à travers le manchon porte-grille 15 jusqu'au récipient disposé sous la tête de remplissage.In connection with the left-hand side of FIG. 2, it can be seen that during normal use of the filling head, the
Lorsque l'on veut maintenir le clapet de retenue en position ouverte sans utilisation de sa commande habituelle par exemple pour un nettoyage dans le sens de l'écoulement comme indiqué dans le brevet français n° 2.290.259, les bras 11 du dispositif à baïonnette de l'élément d'obturation sont disposés en face des méplats 6 et le corps 25 de l'élément d'obturation peut alors pénétrer dans la cavité de l'élément collecteur 7. La bague 10 est alors tournée pour que les dents 12 viennent en coïncidence avec le rebord 8 et l'élément d'obturation est ainsi maintenu en place.When one wants to keep the check valve in the open position without using its usual control for example for cleaning in the direction of flow as indicated in French Patent No. 2,290,259, the
Lorsque l'élément d'obturation pénètre dans la cavité de l'élément collecteur 7, la collerette 30 pousse l'extrémité inférieure du manchon 15 qui, par sa tige de commande 19, provoque l'ouverture du clapet de retenue 13.When the closure element enters the cavity of the collecting element 7, the
Le produit maintenu dans la colonne d'alimentation 1 s'écoule alors d'une part à travers le manchon porte-grille et les lumières 31 et d'autre part autour du manchon porte-grille entre celui-ci et la paroi interne de la tête de remplissage puis est évacué par les tubulures d'évacuation 5 jusqu'à l'orifice de sortie (non représenté) de ces tubulures.The product held in the feed column 1 then flows on the one hand through the grid-carrying sleeve and the
On comprendra que le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé en liaison avec différents types de têtes de remplissage. En particulier, pour les têtes de remplissage ne comportant pas de manchon porte-grilles, on pourra envisager une tige de commande montée directement sur le corps de l'élément d'obturation de sorte que lors de l'introduction de l'élément d'obturation dans la cavité de l'élément collecteur, le clapet de retenue soit maintenu en position ouverte.It will be understood that the device according to the invention can be used in connection with different types of filling heads. In particular, for the filling heads not comprising a grid-carrying sleeve, it is possible to envisage a control rod mounted directly on the body of the shutter element so that when the element is introduced. obturation in the cavity of the collecting element, the check valve is maintained in the open position.
De même, l'élément collecteur pourra comporter une seule tubulure d'évacuation raccordée directement à un récipient. Enfin, l'élément d'obturation pourra être maintenu en place par toute structure appropriée.Likewise, the collecting element may comprise a single discharge pipe connected directly to a container. Finally, the closure element can be held in place by any suitable structure.
De plus, en liaison avec la figure 2, on remarquera que la paroi verticale 6, 7 de l'élément collecteur 4 s'étend vers le bas jusqu'à un niveau au moins égal à celui du bord inférieur du bec de remplissage (ici le manchon 5) dans sa position normale d'utilisation de sorte que le bord inférieur du bec est de préférence en retrait et au plus dans le même plan que le bord de l'ouverture de l'élément collecteur. Ainsi, l'élément collecteur fait office de cloche de protection contre les risques de pollution externe par contact manuel ou tout autre moyen. Cette caractéristique peut être importante dans le cas de remplissage aseptique fonctionnant en atmosphère stérile. Il est en effet impératif que la stérilisation obtenue lors du nettoyage ne soit pas détruite lors des manipulations ultérieures.In addition, in connection with FIG. 2, it will be noted that the
