Definitions

  • the invention relates to improvements made to the filling spouts for dispensing a liquid into a container, of the type in which the spout comprises a liquid distribution passage of annular or quasi-annular section which conditions, at the outlet orifice, a jet umbrella liquid, said passage being defined by two walls substantially vis-à-vis substantially parallel and substantially frustoconical, the outer one belonging to a nozzle body and the other inner belonging to a central core of conical shape widening in direction of the aforesaid port and supported by support means interposed between said core and the beak body, substantially coaxially in a substantially cylindrical conduit defined in the beak body and terminating in the aforesaid outer frustoconical wall.
  • the central core is fixed behind the dispensing orifice. If the fastener is located too far upstream, the lower portion of the central core which defines the dispensing orifice lacks stability, which adversely affects the continuity and homogeneity of the liquid curtain. If the attachment is located shortly upstream of the orifice, the liquid can not be brought axially and must be brought radially into the conduit, which disturbs the homogeneity of the flow at the orifice and, again , adversely affects the continuity of the liquid curtain.
  • the central core is fixed by radial spokes.
  • the spokes can retain solid parts that may be present in the liquid (fruit juice with pulp for example) and it eventually results in an obstruction that requires a shutdown of the filler for cleaning purposes.
  • an umbrella jet filling spout as mentioned in the preamble is characterized, being arranged according to the invention, in that said support means comprise a foot which is interposed between said conical core and at least the wall of the cylindrical duct and which extends at least from the tip of the conical central core towards the orifice, in that the foot is in the form of a dihedral which rests on the wall of the duct and which has an edge coinciding with the axis of the conical central core, and in that the upstream transverse wall of the foot, of approximately triangular shape, is inclined, from bottom to top, from upstream to downstream.
  • this foot may extend to the lower end of the conical core and the dispensing orifice has a bean-shaped conformation.
  • the foot does not extend to the lower end of the conical core and that the dispensing orifice has a complete annular conformation; in this case, the continuity of the liquid curtain can be reconstituted at the orifice despite the presence of the foot substantially upstream and the liquid flows in the form of a closed annular curtain.
  • the foot has its origin upstream of the tip of the conical core and that the edge of the dihedron formed by the foot, between its origin and the tip of the conical core, is inclined and located substantially in the extension of the upper generatrix of the conical core.
  • the manufacture of the nozzle is simplified if the central core is substantially conical to revolution, if the channel is substantially cylindrical of revolution, and if the dispensing orifice forms a bean extending substantially in a circular arc.
  • the dispensing orifice extends about 270 ° and the foot supporting the conical core forms a dihedral having an opening angle of about 90 °.
  • the foot is connected respectively to the conical central core and to the wall of the cylindrical conduit by rounded leave so that there is no area that can slow down, or retain particles suspended in the liquid.
  • a filling spout which has the advantages inherent to spouts generating an umbrella-shaped liquid jet, but which also has the characteristic of combining the advantages of an axial supply of the liquid, to present no transverse obstacle in the liquid vein (the conical core is strictly speaking "suspended" in coaxial central position) and finally to be shaped without sharp angles and without blind spots, so that such a beak not only generates a liquid curtain umbrella closed on itself or at least having a large angular extent (for example over three quarters of a circle), but also lends itself particularly well to the treatment of liquid containing relatively small solid parts such as liquids (including fruit juice) containing pulp.
  • the device is considered in its vertical mounting position as shown in Figures 1, 2, 6 and 7; terms “upper” and “lower” which are used later refer to this vertical mounting position, while the terms “upstream” and “downstream” are used with reference to the direction of flow of the liquid, that is, say from top to bottom in the device.
  • the filling spout designated as a whole by the reference numeral 1, comprises a body 2 traversed axially by a duct 3 of substantially cylindrical general shape; more precisely, in the illustrated example which must be suitable for a majority of applications, the duct 3 is substantially cylindrical of revolution.
  • the duct 3 Towards the lower end (bottom in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the spout, the duct 3 is flared out and is then defined by a frustoconical wall 4 (hereinafter referred to as outer frustoconical wall 4).
  • a central core 5 of conical shape which, in the example shown, has a conical shape of revolution.
  • the core 5 is disposed coaxially with the conduit 3 and has a conical angle substantially identical to that of the aforementioned frustoconical wall 4 while having a transverse dimension smaller than that of the wall 4.
  • the outer frustoconical wall 4 of the body and the inner conical wall of the conical core 5 define an annular or quasi-annular passage (in the form of a bean) which, in this example, is circular or in an arc.
  • the conical central core 5 has its tip 9 located upstream, that is to say facing the top of the body, inside the cylindrical duct 3 and extends to the lower end of the body 2 ; the core of the kernel conical is substantially coplanar with the lower annular edge of the body 2.
  • a support foot 7 interposed between the conical core 5 and the body 2 ( Figure 2).
  • the foot 7 must be shaped to firmly support the conical core 5, so as to avoid deformations and / or vibrations thereof and maintain a stable geometric conformation of the passage 6, while minimizing the liquid flow.
  • the foot 7 extends from an area upstream of the tip 9 of the cone 5 towards the passage 6.
  • the foot 7 extends over the entire length from the conical core 5, to its base, so that the orifice 6 is not in the form of a closed ring but in the form of an open ring or bean as shown in FIG.
  • the foot 7 may be shaped dihedral which has a base resting on the wall of the conduit 3 and an edge 10 coinciding with the axis of the conical core 5 extending in the extension of the generatrix of said core as visible in FIG. Figure 2. It follows that, from behind to the front, the dihedral foot gradually merges into the conical core, the shape of the dihedral appearing totally upstream of the tip of the conical core (see Figure 5) and being completely disappeared, melted in the conical shape of the core, at the bottom of the device ( Figure 3); between the two extremities, the dihedral is visible only in part (figure 4).
  • the transverse face 8 of the dihedron is inclined, from the base to the edge, from upstream to downstream, as can be seen in FIG.
  • the foot 7 is connected, on the one hand, with the conical core 5 and, on the other hand, with the body 2 by rounded leave, so that it does not present itself no dead zone or retention zone for the liquid flow.
  • the orifice 9 through which the passage 7 opens extends in an arc of a circle as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the angular extent the orifice 9 is about 270 °, while the angular extent of the foot 7 is of the order of 90 °.
  • the spout which has just been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 may be difficult to manufacture in one-piece form because of delicate machining to be carried out (the part being metallic, for example made of steel) with regard to its intricate internal shapes. . It may therefore be advantageous to manufacture it in the form of two parts: a part 11 is constituted by a lower section (including a part of the body 1, a portion of the conical core 5 and a part of the foot 7) corresponding axially to the passage conical diverging 6; the other piece 12 is constituted by the remaining portion of the body 1, that is to say that located above the diverging conical passage 6. The two parts 11 and 12 are then joined end to end and secured, for example by welding. This embodiment is illustrated in FIG.
  • the filling spout which is described above and shown in Figures 1 to 7 comprises a liquid jet orifice 6 which extends in a circular arcuate contour (about 270 ° in the examples shown). It As a result, this orifice does not extend over a complete turn (360 °), a reduction in the flow rate of the liquid, and therefore a lower filling rate of the containers.
