Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dosierventil an Dosierpumpen gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a metering valve on metering pumps according to Preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges, insbesondere für die Abdosierung von fließfähigem, stückige Feststoffteile enthaltendem Dosiergut, wie Marmelade, Joghurt od.dgl., Dosierventil ist nach der DE-A-195 04 546 C1 bekannt. Dieses bekannte Dosierventil arbeitet zwar auch wie ein sogenanntes Drehschieberventil (siehe bspw. US-A-3,228,412), dies aber in der Weise, daß der Nocken, ähnlich wie ein vor eine Öffnung gehaltener Finger, die Zufuhröffnung verschließt und dieser zwecks Öffnung geschwenkt und dabei ein relativ großer Teil des Gehäuseraumes freigestellt wird, wobei, wie sich gezeigt hat, der in Öffnungsstellung befindliche Nocken problemlos vom abdosierten Füllgut ohne Verstopfungsgefahr umströmt werden kann. Die eigentliche Dosierung erfolgt durch entsprechend getaktete Betätigungsabstimmung vom Dosierventil und einer über der Öffnung des Zuflußkanals auf dem Ventilgehäuse angeordnete Dosierpumpe, die in der DE-A-195 04 546 nicht besonders dargestellt ist. Dieses Dosierventil arbeitet absolut zufriedenstellend hinsichtlich der Forderung, bei schwierigem Dosiergut der oben genannten Art Verstopfungen zu vermeiden und im Gehäuseraum bei Öffnungsstellung einen großen Durchflußraum zu schaffen.
Nachteilig ist dabei allerdings, daß einer Dosierpumpe zwei solcher nicht gerade billigen Dosierventile zugeordnet werden müssen, nämlich eines für den Ansaug- und eines für den Ausstoßvorgang. Abgesehen vom diesbezüglichen Aufwand, verlangt die Anordnung zweier solcher Dosierventile zu jeweils einer Dosierpumpe entsprechenden Raum im Bereich über der Füllstation bspw. einer sogenannten FFS-Verpackungsmaschine und zudem einen entsprechenden doppelten Antriebsaufwand für zwei solcher Dosierventile.
A metering valve of this type, in particular for metering free-flowing metered solid material containing pieces, such as jam, yoghurt or the like, is known from DE-A-195 04 546 C1. This known metering valve also works like a so-called rotary slide valve (see, for example, US-A-3,228,412), but in such a way that the cam, similar to a finger held in front of an opening, closes the feed opening and pivots it for the purpose of opening and thereby a relatively large part of the housing space is released, whereby, as has been shown, the metered-in filling material can flow around the cam in the open position without any risk of clogging. The actual metering is carried out by correspondingly timed actuation coordination of the metering valve and a metering pump arranged above the opening of the inflow channel on the valve housing, which is not particularly shown in DE-A-195 04 546. This metering valve works absolutely satisfactorily with regard to the requirement to avoid blockages in the case of difficult metered items of the above-mentioned type and to create a large flow space in the housing space when in the open position.
The disadvantage here, however, is that two such metering valves, which are not exactly cheap, must be assigned to a metering pump, namely one for the suction process and one for the exhaust process. Apart from the effort involved, the arrangement of two such metering valves for each metering pump requires space in the area above the filling station, for example a so-called FFS packaging machine, and also a corresponding double drive effort for two such metering valves.

Der Erfindung liegt demgemäß und ausgehend vom Dosierventil der eingangs genannten Art die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Beibehaltung von dessen Vorteilen einschließlich einfacher Reinigung ein solches Dosierventil dahingehend umzubilden und zu verbessern, daß man für eine Dosierpumpe mit nur einem Dosierventil für den Ansaug- und Ausstoßvorgang auskommt, wobei zudem im Bedarfsfall Ansaug- und Ausströmöffnungen des Dosierventils gleichzeitig verschließbar sein sollen.The invention is accordingly and starting from the metering valve type mentioned the task, while maintaining of its benefits including easy cleaning to redesign and improve such a metering valve, that one for a dosing pump with only one dosing valve for the Suction and exhaust process comes out, and also if necessary Suction and discharge openings of the metering valve at the same time should be lockable.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit einem Dosierventil der eingangs genannten Art nach der Erfindung durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 angeführten Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich nach den Unteransprüchen.This task is with a metering valve of the type mentioned Kind according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of the claim 1 listed features solved. Advantageous further training arise from the subclaims.

Abgesehen davon, daß durch diese erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Dosierventiles für eine Dosierpumpe nur ein Ventil erforderlich ist, dessen Schließteil beim Permanentdosierbetrieb nur eine sehr kurze Pendelbewegung zwischen den Öffnungen der Zu- und Abflußkanäle auszuführen hat, kann das Schließteil aufgrund seiner Schließflächenbemessung auch für beide Öffnungen gleichzeitig in Schließstellung gebracht werden, wofür die Minimalbemesssung der Schließfläche ausreicht, wobei die mögliche Maximalbemessung ihre Grenze darin findet, daß beim Ansaugen und Ausstoßen die Durchströmwege zur und von der Ansaug- und Ausstoßöffnung im Gehäuse möglichst optimal durchströmbar sind.Apart from that through this training according to the invention of the dosing valve for a dosing pump only one valve required is, the locking part only in permanent metering operation a very short pendulum movement between the openings of the inlet and Drain channels has to perform, the closing part due its closing surface dimension for both openings at the same time be brought into the closed position, for which the minimum dimension the closing surface is sufficient, the possible Maximum dimensioning finds its limit in that during suction and expelling the flow paths to and from the intake and Ejection opening in the housing can be flowed through as optimally as possible.

Bevorzugt sind die beiden Zu- und Abflußkanäle vertikal und parallel nebeneinander im Gehäuse angeordnet, um möglichst nur schwach gebogene Strömungswege im Ventil von der Saugseite zur Pumpe und von dieser zur Ausstoßöffnung zu erreichen. Schließlich besteht eine vorteilhafte und noch näher zu erläuternde Weiterbildung darin, daß die Flanken des Nockens in Bezug auf die Schwenkachse mit einer konkaven Wölbung versehen sind. The two inflow and outflow channels are preferably vertical and parallel arranged side by side in the housing, if possible only slightly curved flow paths in the valve from the suction side to the Pump and reach from this to the discharge opening. Finally, there is an advantageous one to be explained in more detail Continuing education in that the flanks of the cam are related provide a concave curvature on the swivel axis are.

Wie beim Dosierventil nach der vorerwähnten DE-A-195 04 546 können auch im vorliegenden Fall die dort vorgesehenen scharfen Kanten des Schließteiles zwecks Durchschneiden von bspw. gröberen Fruchtstücken zur Anwendung kommen.As with the metering valve according to the aforementioned DE-A-195 04 546 can also in this case the sharp provided there Edges of the closing part for the purpose of cutting through, for example, coarser ones Pieces of fruit are used.

Das erfindungsgemäße Dosierventil und dessen vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen werden nachfolgend anhand der zeichnerischen Darstellung von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The metering valve according to the invention and its advantageous embodiments are subsequently based on the graphic Representation of exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.

Das insbesondere für die Abdosierung von fließfähigem, stückige Feststoffteile enthaltenden Dosiergut, wie Marmelade, Joghurt o. dgl. bestimmte Dosierventil besteht nach wie vor aus einem Zu- und Abflußkanäle 9, 10 enthaltenden Gehäuse 2 mit einem in einem in bezug auf den Durchmesser D der Zu- und Abflußkanäle 9, 10 durchmessergrößeren, zylindrischen Hohlraum 8 des Gehäuses 2 schwenkbaren Schließteil 1. Dieses Schließteil 1 ist als Kopf einer in das Gehäuse 2 abgedichtet einragenden, in bezug auf den Durchmesser D1 des Hohlraumes 8 durchmesserkleineren Stellwelle 3 ausgebildet. Die eigentliche Schließfläche 6 des Schließteiles 1 erstreckt sich parallel zur zylindrischen Wand 7 des Hohlraumes 8, und das Schließteil 1 ist in Form eines bezogen auf die Schwenkachse 4 der Stellwelle 3 von dieser aus nach einer Seite orientierten Nockens 5 ausgebildet. Der Radius R der Schließfläche 6 des Nockens 5 ist dabei etwas kleiner als der Radius R' des Hohlraumes 8 außerhalb des Bereiches der zylindrischen Anordnungsebene ZE' beider Öffnungen 9',10' bemessen.The metering valve, in particular intended for metering flowable, lumpy solid parts, such as jam, yogurt or the like, still consists of a housing 2 containing inflow and outflow channels 9, 10 with a housing in a with respect to the diameter D of Inflow and outflow channels 9, 10 larger diameter, cylindrical cavity 8 of the housing 2 pivotable closing part 1. This closing part 1 is designed as the head of a protruding in the housing 2 sealed, with respect to the diameter D1 of the cavity 8 smaller diameter control shaft 3. The actual closing surface 6 of the closing part 1 extends parallel to the cylindrical wall 7 of the cavity 8, and the closing part 1 is designed in the form of a cam 5, which is oriented to one side with respect to the pivot axis 4 of the actuating shaft 3. The radius R of the closing surface 6 of the cam 5 is dimensioned somewhat smaller than the radius R 'of the cavity 8 outside the region of the cylindrical arrangement plane ZE ' of both openings 9 ' , 10 ' .

Für ein solches Dosierventil ist nun wesentlich, daß die beiden Zu- und Abflußkanäle 9, 10 im Gehäuse 2 im wesentlichen gegenüber einer Pumpenansaug- und Ausstoßöffnung 11 angeordnet sind. Die beiden zueinander benachbarten, durch einen Zwischensteg 12 distanzierten Öffnungen 9', 10' der Zu- und Abflußkanäle 9, 10 sind dabei in der zylindrischen Verstellebene ZE der Schließfläche 6 des Nockens 5 angeordnet. Außerdem ist die Schließfläche 6 in ihrer Bogenlänge L derart bemessen,, daß bei entsprechender Stellung des Nockens 5 die beiden Öffnungen 9',10' mindestens verschlossen sind(totale Schließstellung gemäß Fig.4). Die demgegenüber maximal mögliche Bogenlänge L erstreckt sich vom einen oder anderen Öffnungsrand 11' der Pumpenansaug- und Ausstoßöffnung 11 zum jeweils inneren Öffnungsrand 9''',10''' der einen oder anderen Öffnung 9',10' (siehe hierzu Fig.5).For such a metering valve it is now essential that the two inflow and outflow channels 9, 10 are arranged in the housing 2 essentially opposite a pump suction and discharge opening 11. The two mutually adjacent openings 9 ' , 10 ' of the inflow and outflow channels 9, 10 spaced apart by an intermediate web 12 are arranged in the cylindrical adjustment plane ZE of the closing surface 6 of the cam 5. In addition, the closing surface 6 is dimensioned in its arc length L such that the two openings 9 ' , 10 ' are at least closed with a corresponding position of the cam 5 (total closed position according to FIG. 4). In contrast, the maximum possible arc length L extends from one or the other opening edge 11 'of the pump suction and discharge opening 11 to the respective inner opening edge 9''', 10 '''of one or the other opening 9', 10 '(see FIG. 5 ).

"Im wesentlichen gegenüber" ist dabei so zu verstehen, daß die Abflußkanäle 9, 10, nicht wie in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellt, zwingend vertikal gegenüber der Ansaug- und Ausstoßöffnung 11 und parallel zueinander angeordnet sein müssen, was jedoch bevorzugt wird, sondern auch, wie in Fig.6 dargestellt, bei entsprechender Gestaltung der Gehäuseunterseite angeordnet sein können."Essentially opposite" is to be understood to mean that the Drainage channels 9, 10, not as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, mandatory vertically opposite the suction and discharge opening 11 and must be arranged parallel to each other, which is preferred is, but also, as shown in Fig.6, with appropriate Design of the bottom of the housing can be arranged can.

Mit Rücksicht auf die in den Fig. 1 bis 4 mit angegebenen Funktionsbeschriftungen und Stellungen der beteiligten Elemente, einschließlich der hier mit dargestellten Dosierpumpe P, ist eine Funktionsbeschreibung entbehrlich. Gleiches gilt auch für die Betätigungs- bzw. Antriebselemente für den Kolben K der Dosierpumpe P und das Schließteil 1 des Dosierventiles, zumal für die Bewegungen entsprechende Pfeile angegeben sind.With regard to the function labels given in FIGS. 1 to 4 and positions of the elements involved, including the metering pump P shown here a functional description can be dispensed with. The same applies to the actuation or drive elements for the piston K of the metering pump P and the closing part 1 of the metering valve, especially for arrows corresponding to the movements are indicated.

Aus Gründen der erforderlichen Reinigung bei Produktwechsel und dieserhalb unter Bezug auf Fig. 3 ist auch bei dieser erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung des Dosierventils, wie vorerwähnt, der Radius R der Schließfläche 6 des Nockens 5 kleiner bemessen als der Radius R' des Hohlraumes 8 außerhalb des Bereiches der zylindrischen Anordnungsebene ZE' der Öffnungen 9',10' der beiden Zu- und Abflußkanäle 9, 10 , wobei aber hier im Bereich außerhalb der Anordnungsebene ZE', und zwar mittig, die Pumpenansaug- und Ausstoßöffnung 11 angeordnet ist. Wie aus Fig.3 ersichtlich, ist dabei sowohl der Kolben K der Dosierpumpe P als auch das Schließteil 1 des Dosierventiles frei umspülbar. Aufgrund der gegebenen, totalen Schließbarkeit des Dosierventiles (siehe Fig.4) besteht eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung darin, am Gehäuse 2 einen zum Hohlraum 8 führenden, verschließbaren Reinigungsmittelanschluß 13 vorzusehen. Egal ob nun das Reinigungsmittel oben an der Pumpe P durch deren Anschluß 13' oder umgekehrt unten am Reinigungsmittelanschluß 13 des Dosierventiles zugeleitet wird, auf jeden Fall können dadurch Pumpe und Dosierventil bspw. bei Produktwechsel für sich separat freigespült und/oder bspw. auch sterilisiert werden. For reasons of the necessary cleaning when changing the product and for this reason with reference to FIG. 3, the radius R of the closing surface 6 of the cam 5 is dimensioned smaller than the radius R 'of the cavity 8 outside the area of the dosing valve according to the invention, as mentioned above cylindrical arrangement plane ZE 'of the openings 9 ' , 10 'of the two inflow and outflow channels 9, 10, but here in the area outside the arrangement plane ZE', specifically in the middle, the pump suction and discharge opening 11 is arranged. As can be seen from FIG. 3, both the piston K of the metering pump P and the closing part 1 of the metering valve can be flushed around freely. Due to the given total closability of the metering valve (see FIG. 4), an advantageous further development consists in providing on the housing 2 a closable cleaning agent connection 13 leading to the cavity 8. Regardless of whether the detergent is supplied to the top of the pump P through its connection 13 'or vice versa at the bottom of the detergent connection 13 of the metering valve, the pump and metering valve can be rinsed separately and / or sterilized for example when changing the product .

Was die vorerwähnte Weiterbildung betrifft, gemäß der die Flanken 5' des Nackens 5 in Bezug auf die Schwenkachse 4 mit einer konkaven Wölbung 5'' versehen sind, so wird diesbezüglich auf die Fig.5 verwiesen. Bei einer derartigen Ausbildung ergeben sich vorteilhaft sowohl beim Ansaugen als auch Ausstoßen des Füllgutes von Zwickelräumen Z bzw. "Totwasserzwickeln" (siehe vergleichsweise Fig.1,2) freie und strömungsmäßig weitgehend glatte Durchströmräume bzw. Durchströmkanäle im Gehäuse 2, was mit Rücksicht auf bspw. grobe Fruchtstücke hinsichtlich einer Verstopfungsgefahr vorteilhaft ist.As regards the aforementioned development, according to which the flanks 5 ′ of the neck 5 are provided with a concave curvature 5 ″ with respect to the pivot axis 4, reference is made to FIG. 5 in this regard. With such a design, both the suction and the ejection of the contents of gusset spaces Z or "dead water gussets" (see comparatively Fig. 1, 2) advantageously result in free and largely smooth flow-through spaces or flow-through channels in the housing 2, which with regard to, for example, . Coarse pieces of fruit are advantageous with regard to the risk of constipation.

Nur der Vollständigkeit halber ist in Fig. 7 ein Längsschnitt durch das Dosierventil dargestellt, das auch im vorliegenden Fall aus zwei Teilen besteht, d.h. aus dem zur Antriebsseite hin völlig offenen Gehäuse 2, das nach dieser Seite durch das ansetzbare Lagerteil LT für das Schließteil 1 abgeschlossen wird. Für den Fall steriler Betriebsweise ist das Lagerteil LT mit Anschlüssen und Kanälen AK für die Durchleitung eines geeigneten Sterilmittels versehen.Only for the sake of completeness is a longitudinal section in FIG. 7 represented by the metering valve, which is also in the present Case consists of two parts, i.e. from the to the drive side completely open housing 2, which on this side by the attachable bearing part LT for the closing part 1 completed becomes. In the case of sterile operation, the bearing part is LT with connections and channels AK for the passage of a suitable Provide sterile.
