Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling containers with precisely measured quantities, with a storage container in which the liquid to be filled is contained.
  • the filling devices of this type are complicated and equipped with pistons, the vertical alternating movements of which bring about the forced transfer of the liquid from the storage container to the metering chambers and the subsequent forced delivery from the metering chambers into the containers passed underneath.
  • the previous determination of the quantity to be dispensed is achieved in that the stroke of the pistons in the interior of the metering chambers is previously set.
  • the vertical lifting movements are carried out using complicated kinematics with connecting rod and crank elements or using appropriately designed inclined guides which engage the ends of the piston rods.
  • the control of the stroke of the crank mechanisms is carried out by varying the radius of the crank, while the control of the stroke is carried out in devices with an inclined guide by changing the inclination of the guide.
  • the invention has for its object a generic To design the filling device in such a way that a simple mechanism provides increased performance compared to known devices.
  • the reservoir is connected at its bottom to a filling chamber, that a closure for opening and closing the connection between the reservoir and the filling chamber or for opening and closing the outlet of the filling chamber is provided that in the filling chamber a lid is arranged as an upper end, and that a vent pipe is guided through the lid to above the highest liquid level in the storage container.
  • the device according to the invention shows that pistons in the interior of metering chambers or cylinders are not absolutely necessary.
  • the storage container for the liquid to be filled is a piezometric shaft, i.e. its liquid level is kept constant by constant supply via a float system.
  • This piezometric shaft is able, by natural gravity, to perform the functions of forced transfer which the pistons carried out when they were lifted upwards; consequently, the pistons can be omitted.
  • Both functions previously carried out by the pistons can be performed from the liquid to be filled, and consequently all piston and connecting rod mechanisms that perform alternating vertical movements can be dispensed with.
  • the device according to the invention works without a piston and connecting rods, but still contains a combination of all the functional features of devices for the determination, simultaneous control and micrometic calibration of exact amounts of liquid that are to be dispensed in the most technologically advanced filling processes.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device for filling containers.
  • the liquid 10 to be filled is contained in a storage container 8.
  • the container 8 has in its bottom 40 an opening 17 which is connected to a filling chamber 11 via a connection 42.
  • the connection 42 is formed with an opening 43 through which the liquid to be filled is dispensed into the containers to be filled.
  • a plunger 14 is guided through the storage container 8, a closure 18 being arranged at the lower end thereof.
  • the closure 18 has an upper valve seat 45 for closing the opening 17 in the container 8 and a lower valve seat 46 for closing the opening 43 in the connection 42.
  • the plunger 14 is moved downward, so that the lower valve seat 46 closes the opening 43 and there is a connection between the container 8 and the filling chamber 11.
  • the filling chamber 11 is closed by a cover 12, which is sealed by means of sealing rings 26 in the interior of the filling chamber 11.
  • a vent pipe 13 is passed through the cover 12, through which the air contained in the filling chamber 11 can escape as the liquid enters the filling chamber 11.
  • the vent pipe 13 is so long that its opening lies above the liquid level 15 in the reservoir 8.
  • the lid 12 of the filling chamber is fastened to a holder 29 via the vent pipe, which in turn is arranged on a frame 30.
  • the holder 29 is displaceable on the frame 30 in the direction of the arrow 31.
  • the height of the cover 12 in the filling chamber 11 can thus be adjusted.
  • a fine adjustment of the lid height can be done on the holder 29.
  • the vent pipe 13 is for this formed with an external thread 28 and the height of the holder 29 on the vent pipe 13 can be adjusted via nuts 33.
  • the frame 30 can be raised and lowered, as a result of which the lid height can be adjusted in all filling chambers of a filling device with a rotating storage container.
  • the lids can all have the same height in the filling chamber, or different amounts can be set in the filling chambers by individually adjusting the ventilation pipe 13 on the holder 29.
  • the filling chamber 11 is filled by liquid 10 flowing from the reservoir 8 through the connection 42 into the filling chamber 11 from below. This continues until the liquid level in the vent pipe 13 is equal to the level 15 in the storage container 8, which can be seen from FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 3 also shows a bottle 16 to be filled below the arrangement.
  • Fig. 5 shows the arrangement with raised plunger 14, which in this position closes the opening 17 in the container 8 with its closure 18. In this state, liquid can no longer get into the filling chamber from the container 8.
  • the opening 43 in the connection 42 is open and liquid can flow from the filling chamber 11 into the container 16. 5 shows this process, with the liquid level 20 in the filling chamber 11 dropping.
  • the outflow rate of the liquid that enters the container 16 from the filling chamber 11 decreases continuously since the pressure in the filling chamber 11 also decreases. At the end of the filling process of the container 16, the outflow rate approaches zero, so that foaming in the container 16 is avoided.
  • FIG. 7 shows the arrangement with the liquid level 20 further lowered in the filling chamber 11.
  • the filling chamber 11 is almost empty, and the liquid level 21 has reached the opening 43 of the connection 42.
  • the container 16 is filled up to its neck 22.
  • 11 shows the device at the beginning of a new metering cycle, in which the opening 43 in the connection 42 is closed and liquid from the storage container 8 enters the filling chamber 11, which is shown by the liquid level 24 in the filling chamber 11.
  • FIG. 13 shows a device with which a relatively large container 16 is filled up to its neck 23.
  • the lid 12 of the filling chamber 11 is pulled all the way up so that the entire interior 27 of the filling chamber 11 is available for metering.
  • Fig. 14 shows the device with which a small container 16 ⁇ is to be filled.
  • the lid 12 of the filling chamber 11 is shifted downward in the filling chamber, so that a relatively small space 27 'is available for metering.
  • the cover 12 can be moved in the filling chamber 11 if the frame 30 is designed as a spindle, during the rotation of which the holder 29 is moved up or down in the direction of the arrow 31.
  • the principle of the communicating tubes works, ie the filling chamber 11 is filled as a result of the liquid pressure in the container 8 when its connection to the container 8 is opened.
  • the liquid level in the vent pipe rises until it has reached the position of the liquid level in the container 8.
  • the liquid flows from the filling chamber 11 into the container to be filled due to its own weight. With that, any pistons or Connecting rods are not required for the filling device.
