- Such a filling element is from the DE 34 46 500 A1 known.
- the return gas pipe is with a also used for the purpose of rotating individual height adjustment Star wheel with a height control curve between two with secured locking positions adjustable, in Meaning of a basic height adjustment to adapt to different Container types.
- the height control curves the return gas pipe do not have to keep constantly, but only in short-term engagement must come to carry out a necessary height adjustment.
- the return gas pipe is in the height once set is secured by the locking device, both against its own weight and against the effects of pressure, from the boiler in one direction or the other towards the Return gas pipe can have an adjusting effect.
- a disadvantage of this construction is that with locking devices only fixed height positions are possible. At Container types not taken into account in the manufacture of the locking device, one by the height of the lower opening of the return gas pipe certain filling level in an intermediate position of the locking device are not properly filled.
- the object of the present invention is a filling element of the type mentioned to create that with simple construction more varied options for height adjustment of the Return gas pipe offers.
- the return gas pipe is also in its longitudinal movement coupled to a friction brake. This secures them once through action the height position of the return gas pipe against the on the return gas pipe during operation acting forces, such as dead weight, Pressure forces u.
- forces such as dead weight, Pressure forces u.
- the return gas pipe can also during operation e.g. for lifting when changing containers arbitrarily adjusted with a corresponding height control curve become.
- the invention is exemplary and schematic shown in section by a filling element.
- the figure shows a radial section through the axis of rotation rotating filling machine with a ring bowl of this machine Top wall 1, radially outer side wall 2 and bottom wall 3.
- Top wall 1 radially outer side wall 2
- bottom wall 3 In the ring bowl are spaced over the circumference of the filling machine arranged a number of filling organs, one of which is shown in the figure in section.
- the filling element shown has a valve body 4 of a liquid valve on with one on the bottom wall 3 of the boiler ring seal 5 controls an outlet 6, which penetrates the bottom wall 3 and one at its lower end Sealing ring 7 carries, against which a container, in the exemplary embodiment shown a bottle 8 with its rim under pressure is held by means of pressing means, not shown.
- the kettle 1, 2, 3 is filled with liquid 10, the beverage to be filled, up to a regulated level 9.
- the gas space 11 above is filled with gas, usually CO 2 .
- Concentric in the valve body 4 is from this down into the Bottle 8 projecting return gas tube 12 in a sliding seal sealed with O-ring 13 so that it can move longitudinally.
- the lower one Opening 14 of the return gas tube 12 determines the fill level in the Bottle 8 in a manner known from the prior art.
- the return gas pipe is located above the sliding seal with the O-ring 13 12 with an extension in the form of a superheated steam pipe 15 Mistake. It runs there within a protruding from the valve body 4
- Return gas channel 16 which extends into the gas space 11 is opposite and there with a sliding seal with O-ring 17 the superheated steam pipe 15 is sealed.
- the valve body 21 can be actuated by a cam 22 which is on a shaft 23 mounted in a sealed manner in the side wall 2, which can be turned from the outside in the direction of the arrow.
- cam 22 When cam 22 is rotated, it closes with a coil spring 24 supported on the side arm 18 valve body 21 and presses the cam 22 further via the return gas channel 16 also against the valve body 4 of the liquid valve a coil spring 25 in the closed position shown.
- the return gas path between bottle 8 and gas space 11 runs first through the return gas tube 12, from this through openings 26 into the interior of the return gas duct 16, from this through the Gas connection 19 to the gas valve and out of this when open Valve body 21 in the gas space 11.
- the bottle 8 at the beginning of the filling process be biased.
- the superheated steam pipe serving as an extension of the return gas pipe 12 15 is in a sliding guide 27 with O-ring 28 through the Top wall 1 of the boiler led. Above the sliding guide 27 the superheated steam pipe 15 is closed at 29. In the sliding guide 27 is the inside of the superheated steam pipe 15 via a side Elongated hole 30 in connection with a bore 31 in the sliding guide 27 to which a connecting pipe 32 with superheated steam valve 33 connected.
- An O-ring 44 provides the vapor seal of the Sliding guide 27.
- the superheated steam valve 33 is normally closed, so that gas between the bottle 8 and the gas space 11 of the boiler in the one way or another in the way described above can be replaced without loss of pressure.
- the gas valve is with the valve body 21 and closed the liquid valve with the valve body 4.
- the superheated steam valve 33 is opened and superheated steam now flows through the bore 31, the slot 30, the superheated steam pipe 15 and the return gas tube 12 into the bottle 8.
- the superheated steam pipe 15 is inside of the return gas channel 16 by surrounding gas against the cooling Exposure to the liquid 10 thermally insulated so that the cooling and condensation of the steam is reduced.
- the edge of the bottle 8 can be a short distance from the Sealing ring 7 to be held to escape the steam at its edge allow.
- the bottle can also be pressed in a sealed position being held. Hot steam can then come out of the bottle other way, e.g. by means of not shown, to the outlet 6 connected outlet channels are drained.
- the return gas tube 12 is adjustable in height driven.
- the upper end of the serving as an extension of the return gas tube 12 Superheated steam pipe 15 projects beyond the sliding guide 27 and is connected via an arm 34 to a guide roller 35 which in a height guide curve formed by two parallel rails 36, 37 running.
- the height guide curve 36, 37 can be at certain angular ranges the circulation of the filling element is formed with height pivoting be, for example, the return gas pipe for changing the container 12 to pull it out of the bottle 8 for a short time.
- Such Execution is for example when used for a can filler advantageous.
- the weight of the linkage hanging from the guide roller 35 34, 15, 12 to wear against sinking, and also for prevention of movements of this boom due to fluctuating internal Gas pressure in the boiler or in the bottle 8 would have to be the guide curve 36, 37 constantly lead the linkage, that is, all around the entire filling machine.
- the arm 34 is the superheated steam pipe 15 carries, a friction brake 38 coupled.
- a piston 40 is coupled, the parallel to the return gas pipe 12 in one of the top wall 1 of the boiler 41 rises.
- the piston 40 has a piston ring 42, which is under radial preload as a friction brake is pressed against the inner wall of the cylinder 41.
- the piston ring 42 is at least interrupted at one point so that it is easily spread. On its inside is in the piston ring groove of the piston 40 O-ring 43 used under tension, the piston ring 42 the required radial preload there.
- the friction brake 38 is designed in its braking force so that it Linkage 34, 15, 12 against dead weight, during operation the filling machine vibrations, against gas pressures and. the like holds even if the guide roller 35 is not in engagement with the Height guide curve 36, 37 stands.
- the height guide curve 36, 37 can thus be a short curve on one Place the filling machine. Should be the basic height setting of the return air tube 12 are changed, so with the short height guide curve when passing through the guide roller 35 at the respective filling element, the return gas pipe 12 is set to the new height. During the rest of the round the filling machine is the Guide roller 35 free. The set altitude of the return gas pipe 12 is secured by the friction brake 38.
- valve body 4 of the liquid valve and Spout 6 may be designed differently.
- the outlet 6 can in his lower end, as shown in the figure, open into the bottle 8, with its upper end but in a side pivot next to the return gas pipe 12 open into the boiler. Then it can Liquid valve 4 arranged separately from the return gas pipe next to this his.
- the return gas pipe 12 passes through with a sliding seal with the O-ring 13 directly the bottom wall 3 of the boiler.
- the superheated steam pipe 15 in the area in which it passes through the liquid 10 in the boiler be protected against cooling. It therefore runs on this path of its length within the return gas duct 16, ie in a gas environment, thus thermally insulated.
- the gas valve can be designed differently, for example as Pipe slide operated from above, which on the superheated steam pipe 15 runs and closes the openings 26 when pushed down.
- steam sterilization it can be used as a superheated steam pipe 15 trained extension of the return gas tube 12 also be designed as a simple push rod. It can also be under Omission of the gas valve 20, 21 the superheated steam valve shown 33 can be used as a gas valve.
- the illustrated height drive for the return gas pipe 12 can for example be modified so that the superheated steam pipe 15th just above the sliding guide 27 extended as a rod is.
- the friction brake 38 can then be concentric on this Be arranged rod.
- the guide roller 35 can be above the Sliding guide 27 at a short distance from the axis of the superheated steam pipe 15 be arranged on the rod.
- the steam and gas ducts can also be trained separately over the entire length his.
- the return gas tube 12 can be in the form, for example be formed of two concentric tubes, the interior Pipe is connected to the superheated steam pipe 15 and the Pipe space is connected to the return gas duct 16.
- the both trained separately for gas and steam Pipes can be used for common height adjustment be driven, for example, as shown, by the height-adjustable superheated steam pipe 15 or through one too this purpose separately provided push rod which to the Friction brake 38 and the guide roller 35 is coupled.
