- the lower part of the body tubular is preferably removable as illustrated on the figure.
- the part terminal of the valve may have a shape other than conical, for example a curved profile following the profile curve of the end part of the tubular body 2.

Description
L'invention concerne un bec de remplissage et, en particulier bien que non exclusivement, un bec de remplissage pour une machine à dosage pondéral.The invention relates to a filling spout and, in particular although not exclusively, a filling spout for a weight metering machine.
Dans le domaine du remplissage de récipients par dosage pondéral, on connaít du document FR-2 688 196 un bec de remplissage produisant un jet de liquide à débit élevé en régime laminaire. Ce bec comporte un corps tubulaire et un organe de calibrage mobile à l'intérieur du corps entre une position basse dans laquelle il obture un orifice d'écoulement du corps et une position haute dans laquelle il permet l'écoulement du liquide. Une partie de paroi interne conique du corps tubulaire adjacente à l'orifice d'écoulement et une partie de calibrage conique de l'organe de calibrage délimitent entre elles un espace annulaire de section décroissante jusqu'à l'orifice d'écoulement. Cet espace annulaire a une longueur suffisante par rapport à la largeur de l'espace annulaire prise selon une direction radiale au niveau de l'orifice d'écoulement pour obtenir un écoulement laminaire même pour des débits élevés. Afin de minimiser le diamètre du bec de remplissage il est préférable de réaliser un organe de calibrage ayant une faible conicité, c'est-à-dire dont l'angle de la surface latérale par rapport à l'axe est faible. Cependant il est prévu dans le document cité que la partie de calibrage vienne en appui sur le bord de l'orifice d'écoulement pour assurer la fermeture du bec. Dans ce cas une faible conicité de la partie de calibrage implique une grande course de l'organe de calibrage pour obtenir une pleine ouverture du bec de remplissage. Par ailleurs une course importante de l'organe de calibrage est incompatible avec les dispositifs de commande habituellement utilisés pour régler la position de l'organe de calibrageIn the field of filling containers with weight dosage, we know from document FR-2 688 196 a spout filler producing a high flow of liquid in laminar regime. This spout has a tubular body and a mobile calibrator inside the body between a low position in which it closes an orifice of body flow and a high position in which it allows the liquid to flow. Part of the wall internal conical tubular body adjacent to the orifice flow and a conical calibration part of the organ calibrating between them an annular space of decreasing section up to the flow opening. This annular space has sufficient length relative to the width of the annular space taken in a direction radial at the flow orifice to obtain a laminar flow even at high flow rates. In order to minimize the diameter of the filling spout it is preferable to achieve a calibration member having a low taper, i.e. the angle of the lateral surface relative to the axis is weak. However it is foreseen in the cited document that the calibration part comes to bear on the edge of the flow hole to ensure the closure of the spout. In this case a weak conicity of the calibration part involves a large stroke of the organ for full opening of the spout filling. In addition an important race of the organ calibration is incompatible with the control usually used to adjust the position of the calibration body
Un but de l'invention est de proposer un bec de remplissage produisant un jet à débit élevé en régime laminaire et comportant un clapet ayant une course compatible avec les organes de commande conventionnels.An object of the invention is to provide a spout filling producing a high flow jet laminar and having a valve having a compatible stroke with conventional controls.
En vue de la réalisation de ce but, on propose selon l'invention un bec de remplissage comportant un corps tubulaire ayant une partie de calibrage et terminé par un orifice d'écoulement, et un clapet mobile à l'intérieur du corps tubulaire et ayant une partie de calibrage conique suivie d'une partie terminale ayant une section décroissant de façon plus rapide que la partie de calibrage, la partie de calibrage du corps tubulaire et la partie de calibrage du clapet délimitant entre elles un espace annulaire de section décroissante en direction de l'orifice d'écoulement du corps tubulaire, cet espace annulaire ayant par rapport à la largeur prise selon une direction radiale à une extrémité inférieure de l'espace annulaire une longueur suffisante pour obtenir un écoulement laminaire dans l'espace annulaire dans lequel la partie de calibrage du clapet a une extrémité inférieure ayant un rayon supérieur au rayon de l'orifice d'écoulement.In order to achieve this goal, it is proposed according to the invention a filling spout comprising a body tubular having a sizing portion and terminated by a outlet, and a movable valve inside the tubular body and having a conical sizing portion followed by a terminal part with a decreasing section faster than the calibration part, the part for calibrating the tubular body and the calibration part of the valve delimiting between them an annular space of decreasing section towards the flow orifice of the tubular body, this annular space having relative to the width taken in a radial direction at a lower end of the annular space a length sufficient to obtain laminar flow in the annular space in which the calibration part of the valve at a lower end having a larger radius to the radius of the flow opening.
Ainsi la forte décroissance de la section de la partie terminale permet d'obtenir un débit maximum avec une faible course du clapet et il a été constaté que de façon surprenante l'augmentation de section qui en résultait immédiatement en amont de l'orifice d'écoulement ne détruisait pas le régime laminaire de l'écoulement obtenu par la partie de calibrage. L'invention réalise ainsi un compromis entre les conditions d'un écoulement optimum et les contraintes industrielles.Thus the sharp decrease in the cross-section of the end part allows maximum flow to be obtained with a short valve stroke and it was found that so surprising the resulting increase in section immediately upstream of the flow opening does not destroy the laminar flow regime obtained by the calibration part. The invention thus achieves a compromise between the conditions for optimum flow and industrial constraints.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront encore dans la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention, en référence à la figure unique ci-jointe qui est une vue en coupe axiale du bec de remplissage selon l'invention.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear again in the description which follows follow a nonlimiting embodiment of the invention, with reference to the attached single figure which is a view in axial section of the filling spout according to the invention.
Le bec de remplissage comporte un corps tubulaire
2 présentant un orifice d'écoulement 3 pour la sortie du
liquide à conditionner. Le bec comporte en outre un clapet
4 mobile à l'intérieur du corps tubulaire suivant un axe
vertical 6 de celui-ci. La moitié gauche de la figure
montre le clapet 4 en position basse dans une position
d'obturation de l'orifice inférieur 3. La moitié droite de
la figure montre le clapet en position haute dans une
position permettant l'écoulement maximum du liquide à
conditionner.The filling spout has a
Le corps tubulaire 2 comporte une partie de
calibrage conique 8. Le clapet 4 comporte une partie de
calibrage conique 10 de même conicité que la partie de
calibrage 8. Ces deux parties 8 et 10 délimitent entre
elles un espace annulaire de section décroissante en
direction de l'orifice d'écoulement 3. Cet espace annulaire
a une longueur L suivant l'axe 6 de préférence au moins
égale à environ huit fois la largeur l d'une extrémité
inférieure de l'espace annulaire prise selon une direction
radiale. Ces conditions dimensionnelles permettent d'obtenir
un écoulement laminaire à la sortie de l'espace
annulaire quel que soit le régime de l'écoulement en amont
de l'espace annulaire.The
Le corps tubulaire 2 présente une partie terminale
12 adjacente à l'orifice inférieur 3. Le clapet 4
présente une partie terminale 14, conique dans le mode de
réalisation illustré et ayant une conicité supérieure à
celle de la partie de calibrage 10 du corps tubulaire 2.
Ici à titre d'exemple, la partie terminale 14 forme un
angle de 60° avec l'axe alors que la partie de calibrage
conique 10 forme un angle de 16° avec l'axe.The
Selon l'invention, le rayon R de la partie de
calibrage 10 au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de
l'espace annulaire est supérieur au rayon r de l'orifice
d'écoulement 3 du corps tubulaire de sorte que la partie
terminale 14 obture l'orifice inférieur 3 lorsqu'elle vient
en contact avec la partie terminale 12 du corps 2. La forte
conicité de la partie terminale permet d'obtenir une
variation très rapide du débit lors d'un déplacement du
clapet et donc d'obtenir un débit maximum pour une faible
course du clapet. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré
illustré, la conicité de la partie terminale 14 est
calculée pour qu'en fin de course d'ouverture cette partie
terminale soit intégralement contenue à l'intérieur du
corps tubulaire sans dépasser de l'orifice d'écoulement 3
et la partie de calibrage 12 a un profil courbe en S selon
une coupe par un plan axial. Ce profil présente deux
courbures opposées, une courbure supérieure concave
contiguë à la partie de calibrage conique 8, et une
courbure inférieure convexe adjacente à l'orifice d'écoulement
3. Ce profil courbe en S favorise la conservation du
régime laminaire jusqu'à l'orifice d'écoulement même si la
section d'écoulement s'accroít dans la zone entre l'extrémité
inférieure de l'espace annulaire et l'orifice d'écoulement
3. En association avec la forme conique de la partie
terminale 14, une telle courbe permet en outre d'adapter
facilement le bec de remplissage à différents débits
maximum en changeant simplement la partie inférieure du
corps tubulaire tout en conservant le même clapet. On
notera à ce propos que la partie inférieure du corps
tubulaire est de préférence amovible comme illustré sur la
figure.According to the invention, the radius R of the part of
10 calibration at the lower end of
the annular space is greater than the radius r of the
Bien entendu on pourra apporter de nombreuses
modifications à l'invention sans sortir du cadre de
celle-ci défini par les revendications annexées. La partie
terminale du clapet pourra avoir une forme autre que
conique, par exemple un profil courbe suivant le profil
courbe de la partie terminale du corps tubulaire 2. A
l'inverse, la partie terminale du corps tubulaire 2 pourra
avoir une forme conique dont la conicité pourra être
voisine ou identique à la conicité de la partie terminale
du clapet.Of course we can bring many
modifications to the invention without departing from the scope of
this defined by the appended claims. The part
terminal of the valve may have a shape other than
conical, for example a curved profile following the profile
curve of the end part of the
