Definitions

  • the present invention concerns filling containers with liquids.
  • known machines usually feature a conveying line for containers to be filled, situated over the bed.
  • This conveying line feeds a singling device, which includes e.g. a screw feeder, with containers.
  • the singling device brings the containers one by one to a rotary drum that moves in the region of the liquid delivering means situated over the bed, in a containers filling station.
  • the containers filled with the liquid are moved to further working stations, in particular for caps application.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a compact structure for a container filling machine, which allows a rapid operation on the machine working parts and easy access to the machine inner means.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a structure, whose form allows to clearly separate electric board area from the machine driving means area.
  • numeral 1 indicates the structure of a machine for filling containers 2, e.g. bottles, with liquids.
  • the structure 1 features a box-like body 3, of e.g. prismatic form, extending suitably upwards.
  • the body 3 of the structure is divided longitudinally in a part 4 with a fixed configuration, which contains machine driving means, and a part 5 which can be opened and contains electric devices.
  • the part 5, that can be opened includes e.g. two covers 5a, 5b, hinged to the fixed part 4, as seen in figure 3; obviously only one cover can be provided to form the part which can be opened.
  • Both the driving means contained inside the fixed part 4 and the electric devices can be easily approached by opening the covers 5a, 5b.
  • the conveying line 7 is situated over the shelf 6 and is operated by the said driving means through transmission means, known to those skilled in the art, housed inside the said bracket 6.
  • the conveying line 7 is preferably equipped with a steel conveying belt 8, like the one disclosed in the Italian Patent Application no. BO93U 000222 of the same Applicant.
  • the conveying line 7 feeds a singling device 9 with containers 2.
  • the singling device includes e.g. a screw feeder 9 which is carried in cantilevered fashion by the bracket 6, downstream of the conveying line 7, and that extends in the same direction as the containers 2 move.
  • Liquid dosing means 10, situated over the shelf 6 and working along the conveying line 7, are carried in cantilevered way by the fixed part 4 f the structure body 3.
  • liquid dosing means 10 are includes cylinder-piston assemblies 10, nevertheless it is possible to use other delivering means, like e.g. peristaltic pumps or flow cut off devices.
  • the dosing means 10 are fed by a suitable liquid container, not shown, via respective valves 11.
  • the containers 2 are filled by a series of nozzles 12 connected with respective dosing means 10 through the valves 11.
  • the nozzles 12 are carried by a carriage 13, moving longitudinally to the conveying line 7, over the support bracket 6, following a closed-loop path.
  • a rotary drum 14, equipped with capping means 15 for application caps to the containers 2, is situated downstream of the screw feeder 9.
  • the drum 14 brings the capped containers 2 to an exit line 16, also preferably provided with a conveying steel belt 17 of the above mentioned type.
  • the drum 14 co-operates, with rotary star-like distribution means 18,19, situated at the inlet and at the outlet thereof and operated in time relation with the drum 14.
  • the caps supplied by a vibration feeder 20, are sent by a feeding line 21 to another star-like distributor 22, situated over the entrance distributor 18, that carries the containers 2, and is operated in time relation therewith.
  • Another star-like distributor 26, operated in time relation with the drums 14,24, is situated therebetween.
  • exit line 16 of the filled and capped containers 2 protrudes from the front part of the body 3 of the machine 1 and is more or less longitudinally aligned with the conveying line 7, that feeds the containers 2 to be filled.
  • this exit line 16 is equipped with a steel belt.
  • the nozzles 12 are connected to respective containers 2 to be filled, placed one after another on the conveying belt 8 of the line 7.
  • these nozzles 12 move longitudinally to the conveying line 7, along a close-loop path, so as to follow the containers 2 during the filling step.
  • the group of nozzles 12 moves in synchrony with the conveying line 7, as indicated with broken line in figs. 2 and 3.
  • the group of nozzles 12 is moved vertically to a raised position 12b, so as to disengage from the containers 2, and then translated longitudinally to the conveying line 7, in the direction opposite to this line 7 movement direction, as shown with broken line 12c.
  • the group of nozzles 12 is brought back to the lowered position to fill a next group of containers 2, in the same way as described previously.
  • the nozzles 12 fill the containers 2, moving along the conveying line 7, with the liquid supplied by the relative dosing means 10.
  • the filled containers 2 are taken up by a separating device 9 which includes a screw feeder, that co-operates with the star-like distributor 18 to send them one by one to the drum 14.
  • the described structure achieves the object of realising a compact and clean machine for filling containers.
  • containers conveying and filing means protrude from one side of the box-like body containing the machine driving means and electric devices.
  • this structure allows an easy access to the machine inner means, i.e. the above mentioned driving means and electric devices, due to their location inside the box-like body, that can be opened on the side opposite the side on which the containers conveying and filling means are situated.
