Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling a minimum amount of liquid or pourable medium in a container, the amount of filled medium is detected and the filling by closing a Valve is stopped as soon as the amount of medium filled has a final value has reached.
  • the medium is typically used for filling namely using a large filling device, such as a carousel bottle filler, the z. B. 150 filling stations and thus 150 bottles can fill at the same time.
  • a carousel bottle filler can run per hour up to 70,000 bottles with a volume of one liter each fill a drink.
  • An incorrect filling means only 5 ml per Bottle that 350 1 per hour, about 850 1 per day and about 250,000 1 per month Drink is overfilled. There is a high level of accuracy when filling therefore of considerable interest for cost reasons alone.
  • Filling media into containers typically is as follows: From one A container is filled through a valve, whereby the quantity of medium released into the container, typically that Volume or the mass of the medium, by means of a mass or volume flow measuring device is measured. If the captured in this way, amount of the medium dispensed into the container has a predetermined value, always reached the end value in the following, the valve is closed and thus the filling process ends.
  • closing the valve takes a finite amount of time, so that after reaching the predetermined value for in the container dispensed amount of the medium for further dispensing of the Medium comes into the container; there is a so-called wake.
  • This After-run also stems from the fact that the valve is a mechanical one Component and a valve control device controlling the valve and have dead times. As a result, it applies that the dispensed into the container Quantity of the medium is above the final value at which the filling process is ended by closing the valve.
  • the object of the invention is such a method specify for filling a liquid or pourable medium into a container, where the accuracy of filling, especially during commissioning the filling device used for the filling process, improved is.
  • the filling of the medium in a first container in several filling steps is done by filling in a first filling step Closing the valve is interrupted by the during the closing of the To determine valve follow-up of the medium, and in a subsequent one Filling step the filling continued by opening the valve the final value at the end of the subsequent filling step taking into account a in a previous filling step at Closing the valve certain overrun of the medium is set.
  • the medium in the first container is not in a continuous step
  • Filling takes place in at least two separate steps of the first container at least once by closing the Valve is interrupted so that the wake can be determined.
  • the wake determined in this way can then already during the filling of the first container can be used to complete the end value the filling of the first container so that a filling of the container is achieved within the permissible tolerances.
  • the first filling step is followed by a plurality of subsequent ones Filling steps followed, with the respective final value for completion a subsequent filling step taking into account the in determine the respective previous filling step when closing the valve After-run of the medium is determined.
  • a corresponding large number of filling steps subsequent to the first filling step can have a plurality of follow-up values and in particular one such large number of follow-up values are determined that in each case sufficient influencing of the final value at the end of the last filling step for filling the container can be achieved by filling to achieve within the specified tolerances.
  • the final value at the end of the last filling step for filling of the container taking into account the minimum amount of the medium and in the previous filling step when closing the valve certain overrun of the medium is determined.
  • the Final value at the end of the last filling step for filling the container taking into account the minimum amount of the medium and one Most, preferably all, of those in the previous filling steps certain after-runs of the medium are set when the valve is closed becomes. It can be provided in particular that the in the previous Filling steps when closing the valve certain wake of the Medium for determining the final value at the end of the last filling step be subjected to averaging.
  • the final value to end the single filling step for filling the further container taking into account the minimum amount of the medium and one determined follow-up value determined when filling the first container becomes.
  • a sufficient number of Follow-up values only after the successive filling of several To achieve containers can namely a sufficient number of follow-up values already exist after filling the first container, so that subsequently filled further containers in a continuous filling process can be.
  • To determine the final value simply one such follow-up value used when filling the first container has been determined.
  • the run-on values determined when the first container is filled are subjected to averaging in order to determine the end value for ending the single filling step for filling the further container.
  • the filling of the first container is followed by a plurality of individual fillings of further containers, the respective end value for ending such a filling taking into account the minimum quantity of the medium and a follow-up value determined in a previous filling is set.
  • the final value E n is determined as follows in the nth step: where N is the wake and x is the number of fillings where the wake values are used to determine the final value.
  • FIG. 1 The filling of a medium 1 into a container 2 is shown schematically in FIG. 1 represented by a filling device 3.
  • Medium 1 can act as a liquid or a pourable medium, acts in the present case it's a drink.
  • the filling device 3 has a storage container 4 and a flow measuring device 5 and a valve 6. When open Valve 6 is filled with medium 1 into container 2.
  • valve control unit 7 The control of the valve 6, namely the opening or closing of the Valve 6 takes place by means of a valve control unit 7.
  • the valve control unit 7 is also connected to the flow measuring device 5, so that a Control of the valve 6 as a function of that by means of the flow measuring device 5 detected filled amount of medium 1 is enabled.
  • the flow measuring device 5 can be, for. B. a mass flow meter or a volume flow meter, such as a magnetic inductor Flow meter or an ultrasonic flow meter.
  • the flow measuring device 5 transmits the flow rate detected by it to the valve control unit 7, namely in accordance with the presently shown preferred embodiment of the invention in the form of scaled Pulses, namely one pulse each for a detected predetermined Unit.
  • the transmission is from the flow measuring device 5 detected flow rate to the valve control unit 7 z.
  • B. also possible in the form of a digitized signal via a bus interface.
  • the valve control unit 7 integrates that detected by the flow measuring device 5 and flow rate transmitted to them. This integrated flow rate represents the quantity from the storage container at any time 4 through the flow measuring device 5 and the valve 6 in the container 2 has been filled.
  • FIG. 2 The filling of the medium 1 into the container 2 according to a conventional method is now shown schematically in FIG. 2 in order to explain the run-on problem associated with the finite closing time of the valve 6:
  • the valve 6 is opened by means of the valve control unit 7.
  • the flow shown in the gray diagram increases almost immediately to a constant value, here standardized to 1.
  • the amount of medium 1 filled into container 2 also increases as time progresses, as shown by the solid, linearly increasing line.
  • the amount of medium 1 filled into the container 2 reaches the final value E of 100, which, by integrating the filled amount of medium 1 with the flow measuring device 5, causes the valve control unit 7 to close the valve 6.
  • this end value of 100 also corresponds to the minimum quantity; in the present case, at least a minimum quantity of 100 should be filled into the container 2, so that for the time being the filling does not end before this value is reached.
  • the formula for the final value E already mentioned above can be used in the further filling operations actually filled into the respective container 2 Quantity of medium 1 further reduced and approximated the minimum value of 1,000 become.
  • the method according to the preferred embodiment The invention can then be further developed in that Even in the second filling process there are still interruptions in order to actually bring filled amount of medium 1 into the tolerance range.
