Abstract
Description
- Specifically, though not exclusively, the invention can be usefully applied in batching paints, solvents and additives, especially for the preparation of packages of paint products.
- The prior art teaches various apparatus for instant preparation of paint products. For example, Italian patent application IT MO97A000126 describes a machine comprising a plurality of nozzles distributed in a straight line. Each nozzle can dispense a batched liquid from a tank. A balance is constrained to a straight-moving slide moving parallel to the line of nozzles; a storage recipient for the batched liquid, resting on the balance, can be selectively positioned below the nozzles by effect of controlled translations of the slide so as to receive from the nozzle batched quantities of liquids on command of a central unit which also reads off the weight on the balance. During operation, the operator places an empty recipient on the balance, after which the central unit carries out the recipient automatic filling cycle so that a final product is exactly as the operator ordered when preselecting.
- Known batching apparatus, however, have various drawbacks and can be improved in various aspects.
- Firstly, the apparatus are relatively massive considering the number of liquids they can batch.
- Secondly, the filling cycle of a batched product package takes quite a long time to carry out. Having said that, it is impossible to reduce work time by much since excess speed would damage the precision of the batching, mainly because the inertia of the mobile parts of the apparatus might alter the weight reading on the balance.
- A further drawback of known apparatus is the presence of flexible tubes in movement (for example, tubes carrying the operating fluids of the opening and closing devices of the dispensing valves), with a consequently high risk of damage to or breakage of the tubes themselves.
- Other drawbacks besides in known apparatus are represented by the limitation in the number of batchable liquids and poor batching precision.
- The main aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art.
- An advantage of the invention is that it provides a batching apparatus which is compact and relatively contained in mass, both in terms of length and width. A further advantage is that the invention provides a constructionally simple and economical apparatus.
- A further advantage is that the apparatus of the invention can carry out a high number of batching operations for a wide range of different liquid products.
- A further advantage is that a relatively precise batch is produced, and at a high operating speed.
- These aims and advantages and others besides are all attained with the invention as it is characterised in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the detailed description that follows, of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the invention, illustrated purely by way of a non-limiting example in the accompanying figures of the drawings, in which:
- figure 1 is a schematic lateral view in vertical elevation of an apparatus made according to the invention;
- figure 2 is a plan view from above of the apparatus of figure 1;
- figures 3 and 4 show two enlarged details of figure 1.
-
- With reference to the above figures, 1 denotes in its entirety an apparatus for batching liquids, especially useful for batching paints, solvents and additives with the aim of being able to produce at will a wide range of differing paint products.
- The
apparatus 1 comprises a frame 2 inferiorly having abase platform 3 and at least one upright 4 which superiorly supports a horizontal support plane 5 having a central opening. - A plurality of
dispensing valves 6 are predisposed on the periphery of the upper support plane 5, each of which valves dispenses a liquid in batches. Thevalves 6 are circumferentially arranged on a horizontal plane. Eachvalve 6 has its own means (of known type and not illustrated) for supplying liquid to be batched, which means comprise, for eachvalve 6, at least one container for a liquid product to be batched and a feed pipe for transferring liquid from the container to thedispenser valve 6. Each valve is also provided with a pump device, of known type and not illustrated, for conveying the liquid product along the supply pipe from the container to the valve. A return pipe (of known type and not illustrated) is provided for eachvalve 6 for returning the liquid product from thevalve 6 back to the container. With the valve closed, the return pipe can be passed through by a volume of liquid generated continuously or at predetermined intervals by the pumping device. The return flow reduces the risk of encrustations and blockages in thedispenser valve 6. - Each
valve 6 is provided with a mobile element that can assume at least one lower closed position in which it prevents liquid dispensing, and an upper open position in which the valve can dispense liquid. In the given example the mobile element comprises a lower obturator which can close a dispensing mouth of thevalve 6 and a stem, solidly constrained to the obturator, having a vertical axis, and superiorly provided with a head for gripping the mobile element with an actuating organ. - The
apparatus 1 comprises abase 7 which can be rotated on command with respect to the frame 2 about a vertical rotation axis x-x. Thebase 7 is predisposed below thedispenser valves 6. Thebase 7 comprises a flat support, substantially circular in shape, on a bottom side of which a cylindrical body is screw-coupled. Thebody 8 has a smaller diameter than the flat support. Thelower body 8 has a cylindrical peripheral surface which is coaxial to the rotation axis x-x of thebase 7. The peripheral surface is rotatably coupled, for example by means of a series ofspheres 9 or other elements having a rolling support function, to an internal diameter of anannular crown wheel 10 screw-fixed to the frame 2. - The
rotatable base 7 is rotated by a motor group which is solid in rotation with the base itself. Themotor 11 itself is preferably electric and actuates, through a preferably gearedreducer 12 at least onepinion 13 having a vertical axis which enmeshes with thefixed crown wheel 10 coaxial to therotatable base 7. Thepinion 13 is supported at a lower end of a rotating shaft projecting from thereducer 12 and crossing an opening afforded in the flat support of thebase 7. The whole motor group is located above therotatable base 7 and is comprised within the radial mass of the base itself. The direction of the axis of the motor is substantially radial with respect to thebase 7. Themotor 11 extends in a substantially horizontal direction, perpendicular to rotation axis x-x of therotatable base 7. The shaft bearing thepinion 13 which projects from the reducer has a vertical rotation axis. Themotor 11 is situated in a space comprised between the vertical rotation axis of thepinion 13 and the vertical rotation axis x-x of therotatable base 7. Acasing 14 superiorly and laterally protects the motor group. - The
apparatus 1 comprises means for weighing predisposed to weigh at least onerecipient 15 located on therotatable base 7. In the illustrated case the means for weighing comprise abalance 16 of known type which is solid in rotation with therotatable base 7 and located diametrically opposite to themotor group balance 16 has an upper plane for positioning and weighing arecipient 15 containing the batched product. The weighing plane is predisposed at an opening afforded in thecasing 14. By effect of rotations of thebase 7 therecipient 15 can be positioned selectively below thevarious valves 6 so as to receive the batched dispensed liquid. - The apparatus has at least one
valve actuation organ 17 able on command to move the mobile elements of thevalves 6 from a closed position into an open position. The actuatingorgan 17 is mounted on asupport column 18 which rises vertically and coaxially from therotatable base 7. The actuatingorgan 17, which is located substantially on the vertical of thebalance 16, is solid in rotation with therotatable base 7. In the illustrated embodiment theactuating organ 17 comprises a hydraulic linear actuator having a vertical line of action for commanding vertical displacements of a gripping element able to interact with the head of the stem of avalve 6. By effect of rotations of thebase 7 and thus of thesupport column 18, theactuation organ 17 can be positioned selectively according to the various valves to be actuated. The actuator can comprise three coaxial cylinders set in series one above another; in another embodiment the valve actuation organ can comprise an obturator raising device which can be commanded, for example, by means of an encoder to enable regulatable opening of the valves in a plurality of intermediate dispenser mouth open positions. - The actuator of the
actuation organ 17 is commanded by means of an operating fluid transmission circuit having a fixed part and a mobile part solid in motion with thecolumn 18 of the rotatable support. The fixed part and the rotating part of the fluid circuit are inter-connected by means of ajoint 19 comprising a rotating fluid distributor of known type and represented schematically in figure 4. The fixed part of the fluid circuit terminates in one or more conduits afforded internally in a fixedcylindrical body 20 located above and coaxially to thesupport column 18. Thejoint 19 is located between the fixedinternal body 20 and an externaltubular body 21 rotatably coupled to thefixed body 20. At least one pressurised-fluid supply conduit 22 leads from the rotatabletubular body 21, whichconduit 22 is connected to the opposite head of the actuator of the actuatingorgan 17. - A central control unit, of known type, presides over the operation of the apparatus, which unit can actuate the motor group rotating the
base 7 and the fluid actuator for opening thevalves 6. The control unit is predisposed to receive notification of the weight of therecipient 15 read off by the means for weighing 16. - During operation, a
recipient 15 is placed on thebalance 16; liquids will be batched as desired into therecipient 15. The motor group is actuated with a consequent rotation of thebase 7, thecolumn 18, thebalance 16, therecipient 15 and thevalve actuation organ 17. Once therecipient 15 has been positioned below apredetermined dispenser valve 6, theactuation organ 17 opens the valve for a predetermined time so as to pour into the recipient the desired quantity of liquid. During this phase the gripping element of theorgan 17 engages the head of the selected valve and is then commanded by the actuator to move upwards, raising the relative stem, with a consequent opening of the valve and a dispensing of the liquid. When the control unit is informed by thebalance 16 that the recipient has reached a predetermined weight, it orders the descent of the actuator, which closes thevalve 6 with a consequent interruption of liquid dispensing. Subsequently the above-mentioned series of operations (positioning of therecipient 15 below apre-selected valve 6 and batched filling of therecipient 15 itself) is repeated according to a work cycle which is ordered by the central control unit and which can be pre-set by the operator so as to achieve a mixture batched as so desired. - In another embodiment, not illustrated, the means for weighing are predisposed to weigh two recipients situated in diametrically opposite points on the rotatable base. In this case the means for weighing can comprise two balances, like in figure 1, each of which can receive a respective recipient for the batched product. In this embodiment the machine is provided with two actuation organs, situated on diametrically opposite sides of the support column, each of which is operatively associated to a balance. In this embodiment the machine can produce two fully batched recipients at once, with a notable time saving. With this embodiment it is preferable that around the nozzle circumference, at opposite sides of the circumference there is a nozzle dispensing an identical product, with possibly the same delivery rates too. This would enable production of two identical batched products contemporaneously, or even two liquid products containing the same ingredients but differently batched.
- In still further embodiments three means for weighing could be included to weigh three recipients located on three balances arranged on the base at intervals of 120° with respect to the rotation axis x-x of the
base 7 itself. In this case three rotating actuation organs can be provided, rotating together with thebase 7 and arranged above each balance. In other embodiments it would be possible to predispose four or even more balances, situated at equidistanced angles around the circumference with reference to thebase 7 rotation axis. - Thanks to the invention the inertia of the means for positioning the recipient has only a very limited effect on the weight reading of the recipient itself. Weighing errors can be considerably reduced where they are due to the inertia of the recipient moving system. Furthermore, the apparatus leads to time saving inasmuch as the weight can be read off precisely as soon as the recipient is positioned below the dispenser valve, with no significant wait for the recipient weighing system to settle and give a proper reading of the weight.
