Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling device for plastic bottles with a seal which can be pressed against the bottle mouth.
  • a filling element according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example made US-A-3 211 192 known.
  • the seal is formed by an outer conical surface of the metallic filler neck, which cooperates with the inner edge of the bottle opening. If the bottle opening is pressed with a certain pressure against the outer conical sealing surface, then a slight elastic yielding of the bottle opening and thus the desired sealing effect is brought about.
  • the outer conical sealing surface has a constant cone angle and at the same time serves as a centering during insertion of the filling nozzle into the bottle opening.
  • the invention is based on the object to drastically reduce the seal wear in a filling member of the type mentioned and to simplify the cleaning.
  • the filling element F to Fig. 1 is for filling a carbonated drink in new disposable bottles of PET, hereinafter referred to as bottles 1, set up under counter pressure. It is fastened together with a number of identical filling elements F to a rotor R of a filling machine, not further shown, which rotates about a vertical axis.
  • the filling member F has a housing 7, at the lower end of a plate-like bottom piece 3 is releasably secured.
  • a cylindrical outlet 8 is formed for the liquid, which is surrounded concentrically by a rotationally symmetrical seal 2 in the form of an inner cone.
  • the formation of the seal 2 will be explained in more detail below.
  • a return gas pipe 9 is fixed in the housing 7, through which the bottle 1 is placed under a back pressure of, for example, 3 bar before the inlet of the beverage, and through which the tension gas flows out of the bottle 1 during running.
  • the return gas pipe 9 can define the filling level or it is directly controlled by a flow meter, not shown, o. The like. The incoming volume.
  • Each filling member F is assigned its own lifting member H, which is likewise fastened to the rotor R.
  • the lifting member H has a lifting cylinder 10, which is mounted vertically movable on a fixed piston rod 11 and is pressed by compressed air with a force of, for example, 300 N upwards. Laterally on the lifting cylinder 10, a cam roller 12 is mounted, which cooperates with a stationary control cam 13. By the action of the control cam 13, the lifting cylinder 10 is lowered in the outlet of the filling machine against the pneumatic contact pressure and released in the inlet back up.
  • the lifting member H has the task to be filled Press bottle 1 with a predetermined force of 300 N in the mouth region against the seal 2 in order to realize a gas- and liquid-tight connection between bottle 1 and filling member F.
  • a horizontal, plate-shaped bottle holder 14 is fixed to the side of the lifting cylinder 10, which is provided with a U-shaped recess 15 which is open radially outwardly with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor R.
  • the recess 15 is only slightly wider than the diameter of the bottle neck below the support ring 16 of the bottle 1, so that it can be well supported on the flat top of the bottle holder 14 and transmit the contact force.
  • the seal 2 is formed by acting as a stop inner conical sealing surface 4 with a cone angle W of about 60 °, which is incorporated deepened in the bottom piece 3 formed of stainless steel.
  • the sealing surface 4 is concentric with the cylindrical outlet 8 and can be manufactured in a simple manner by fine turning with manual polishing, resulting in a surface roughness Ra of 0.8 .mu.m to 1.6 .mu.m.
  • the gasket 2 is thus made of stainless steel and is substantially harder and more rigid than the biaxially stretched PET molded bottle 1.
  • the filling element F 'after Fig. 2 differs from the filling F after Fig. 1 above all, characterized in that here the outlet 8 'is designed for the liquid as a long tube and the seal 2 is formed on a vertically mounted on the housing 7 centering bell Z.
  • the lifting member H 'does not engage the support ring 16 but at the bottom of the bottle 1.
  • the centering Z is made of stainless steel and has below the designed for a mouth diameter of 28 mm in-conical sealing surface 4 a larger, designed for a mouth diameter of 38 mm innenkonische sealing surface 4 'with the same cone angle of 60 °. In this way, with the filling member F 'without conversion all conventional PET bottles 1 can be filled for drinks.
  • the seal between centering Z and housing 7 is carried out in a conventional manner by an elastic sealing ring 17, which does not come into contact with the bottle 1 and therefore is not subject to excessive wear.
  • the invention is equally applicable to Guillutica in which the seal cooperates with the support ring 16.
  • the contact pressure can be generated by lowering the Greps on the bottle of course.
