Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for filling containers, especially at one end sealed carton packs with a liquid with at least one transport device for moving the Container, a storage container for receiving the Liquid and at least one with the reservoir in Connected and from a filling valve closable filling head, which is relative to the container is vertically movable and can be lowered into it.
- the relative movement between the container and the filling head happens either by lifting and lowering the container or by lowering and lifting the filling head. It is also possible, albeit structurally little sensible, a combination of both variants.
- the Task the mechanical movement of the container or Filling head to synchronize with the filling level, since the Filling head for hygienic reasons not in the already Liquid in the container should be immersed.
- the task is already defined by the Synchronization of the movement of the lifting with the Movement of a dosing piston released.
- the movements of the container or the filling head of electric servo motors were synchronized using Curve control, with newer machine designs the movements of the container or the filling head of electric servo motors and the Synchronization of movements is programmatic realized.
- Such a synchronization of two movements is complex and the use of a dosing piston moreover, expensive, prone to wear and failure.
- the object of the invention is the aforementioned and described in more detail above Device for filling containers or the corresponding Develop and further develop processes in such a way that with reliable design with less design effort Control the relative movement between the container and Filling head can be achieved in this way Significantly reduce foaming of the filling product can, so that a downstream defoaming can be dispensed with.
- This task is for a device according to the Preamble of claim 1 solved in that between the Reservoir and the fill valve a flow meter is arranged and that a control device for Conversion of the flow meter pulses into Vertical movements of the filling head and / or the container is provided.
- the solution to the problem is that the relative movement between Container and filling head due to the one Flow meters determined flow into the container Volume of the liquid is regulated.
- the device according to the invention or the The method underlying the invention eliminates the movement of a dosing piston, as the dosing flow for the filling container detected by a flow meter and in a control device for a dosing volume is processed.
- Flow meter a magnetic inductive sensor, which in the liquid line between the reservoir and Filling valve is arranged. This way the exact Flow rate without mechanical contact with the product can be reliably implemented.
- the filling head arranged stationary and one below the filling head Lifting device for lifting / lowering the container intended.
- the container to be filled just below the Filling head is arranged stationary and that a Lifting device for lowering / lifting the filling head is provided.
- the lifting device is a translational has driven axis and a odometer. So is a structurally simple but very reliable control the lifting device possible.
- the combination of the, especially magnetically inductive, Flow measurement with the movement of the lifting device is particularly advantageous because the movement by a electric servo axis is realized, which in turn their control function from the flow proportional Receives pulses from the flow meter.
- the result is a constructively simple to implement direct dependence of the movement of the lifting device on Container or filling head from the current filling volume, so that the time-consuming synchronization of two movements is eliminated can.
- a container 1 closed at one end is below a filling head 2 arranged on a lifting device 3.
- the filling head 2 is from a filling line 4 from a Storage container 5 supplied, which from one only indicated feed 6 is fed.
- the dimension of the the container size adjusted filling volume happens over a filling valve 7 above the filling head 2.
- the filling head 2 is arranged in a stationary manner and the lifting device 3 serves to raise / lower the Container 1. In this way, a reliable constant distance h between filling head and Liquid levels are observed.
- the Lifting device 3 a translational axis 10 and one Odometer 11 on. It is particularly advantageous above addition, that the flow meter 8 as a magnetically inductive Sensor is formed.
- Control device 9 there is Control device 9 from a synchronous controller 12, a Position controller 13 and a speed controller 14.
- the control Synchronous controller 12 and position controller 13 are used via a switch 15 depending on the pulses of the Odometer 11.
