Definitions

  • the invention relates to vertical-axis carousel machines for filling phials, bottles or other containers with liquid products.
  • the carousel of such a machine is provided on its periphery with equally spaced heads, connected to the reservoir of liquid product to be packaged, with the interposition of a valve means which is securely closed or opened, usually by mechanical actuators which interact with a cam, and which has a downward-facing outlet with which the mouth of the bottle to be filled is made to interact coaxially and in a sealed way when so commanded.
  • a tube which engages in the bottle to a predetermined depth projects and extends coaxially downwards from the lower outlet of the head, the lower end of the said tube being used to determine the level of filling of the liquid in the bottle.
  • the tube allows the gas to escape from the bottle while the latter is progressively filled with the liquid, and before filling the same tube is used to pass pressurized gas, usually carbon dioxide, into the bottle, for cleaning the interior of the said bottle and for other purposes.
  • the invention relates to filling heads with tubes which are fixed and interchangeable if necessary, of the counter-pressure type, with automatic pre-closing when the level determined by the insertion of the tube into the bottle neck is reached, and in which the said command for the secure closing or opening of the said liquid shut-off valve also causes the closing or opening of the circuit supplying gas to the tube.
  • valve means can be actuated not only mechanically by levers and cams, as stated above, but also by means of a fluid-pressure cylinder and piston unit.
  • the said valve means is associated with a push rod which projects from the upper part of the head or of the liquid reservoir contained in the head, passing through lateral sealing means, the upper end of the said push rod interacting with the stem of an actuator having a reciprocating rectilinear motion, usually consisting of a fluid-pressure cylinder and piston unit, whose body is fixed to the upper and outer part of the carousel or of the reservoir, in such a way that it can be easily replaced when necessary, and which is supplied and actuated by means of suitable boxes and a rotary distributor located on the shaft of the said carousel.
  • the push rod is connected structurally to form a single piece with the stem of the pneumatic actuator, and the body of the actuator is fixed, for example by screwing or by some other method so as to be removable, to the upper end of the body of the head, in such a way that it can be easily removed and fitted to facilitate any necessary maintenance.
  • the area of connection between the pneumatic actuator and the body of the filling head is isolated from the outside by highly reliable sealing means which comprise, in addition to static seals and lateral seals, a bellows which surrounds the extended part of the stem of the actuator and which has one of its ends connected with a seal to the body of the said actuator and has its other end connected with a seal to the lower end of the said stem, for example in the area in which this end is connected to the push rod which actuates the filling head.
  • highly reliable sealing means comprise, in addition to static seals and lateral seals, a bellows which surrounds the extended part of the stem of the actuator and which has one of its ends connected with a seal to the body of the said actuator and has its other end connected with a seal to the lower end of the said stem, for example in the area in which this end is connected to the push rod which actuates the filling head.
  • the filling head is constructed according to the prior art, except as regards certain differences in construction, and operates in the following way.
  • the head is in the state shown in Figure 1.
  • the bottle B is raised so that its mouth is made to bear in a sealed way against the collar 7.
  • the push rod 19 is raised to allow the gas from the source 11 to pass through the hollow shaft 105 and to enter the bottle B through this shaft and the tube 6.
  • the plug 5 remains closed, because the pressure of the gas on the level 15 of the column of product present in the barrel 8 and the pressure of the liquid on the top of the plug 5 are grater than the upward thrust exerted by the spring 20.
  • the spring 20 acts to raise the plug 5, causing the product to flow from the pipe 4 to the chamber 3 through the outlet 103 and progressively fill the bottle B.
  • the pressure of the gas on the lower face of the plug 5 is interrupted, and therefore the upper hydrostatic pressure becomes stronger and automatically closes the plug 5 against the action of the spring 20, preventing any further outflow of product through the outlet 103 and ensuring an identical and constant filling level of the bottles.
  • the push rod 19 is lowered so as to close the connection of the gas through the tube 6, causing the secure closing of the plug 5 and the actuation of the valve 23 so as to depressurize the outlet 103 and the upper inner part of the full bottle, to bring the whole to the level of the external atmospheric pressure, so that the level of the liquid in the bottle is not changed even to the slightest degree when the bottle is subsequently lowered.
  • the body 26 of a fluid-pressure cylinder and piston unit A is fixed removably, for example by screwing as indicated by 24 and with the interposition of sealing means 25, to the upper end of the barrel 8, the body 26 having at its lower end an integral base 126 provided at its centre with a hole having an annular gasket 27 through which passes, with a lateral seal, the stem 28 of the unit A which terminates below in a tapered threaded part 128 screwed into a cup 29 which is fixed to the push rod 19 and which can be shaped externally with parallel flat parts for manipulation with an open-ended spanner, for the purpose of screwing and unscrewing the parts in question, the upper end of the said stem 28 being provided for this purpose with, for example, a diametric slot 30 for use with a screwdriver, or being structured in any other suitable way, for example with an axial blind hexagonal socket.
  • the portion of the stem 28 projecting downwards from the body 26 is surrounded by a bellows 31 of any flexible, fluid-tight and suitably pressure-resistant material, whose lower edge 131 is clamped in a sealed way between the lower end of the said stem 28 and the cup 29 and whose upper edge 231 is fixed to an annular recess provided laterally on the base 126 of the body of the unit A, this edge being retained in this recess by bearing against the inner lateral surface of the barrel 8.
  • any communication between the inner chamber of the barrel 8 and the outside is prevented in the first place by the bellows 31 and also, in a secondary way, by the sealing ring 27.
  • the top of the stem 28 terminates in an enlarged part 228 acting as a piston, which slides with a lateral seal on the inner surface of the body 26 with its gasket 32 and with a head 328 provided with an annular recess engaged by a lip seal 33 which also forms a seal with the inner lateral surface of the body 26 of the unit A which is closed at its top in a sealed way by means of the gasket 34 and the cap 35 which is fixed removably, by screwing for example.
  • the cap 35 is provided with a threaded hole to which is fixed the connector 36 for connecting the pressure chamber Z to the circuit for the cyclic supply of pressurized air or for connecting the said chamber Z to the atmosphere, preferably through calibrated discharge means (not shown) in such a way that the raising of the piston 28 is slowed conveniently by the action of an opposing spring 37 which operates in the lower chamber of the unit A, and which bears upwardly against the piston 128 and downwardly against the base 126.
  • the said lower chamber of the unit A communicates freely with the atmosphere through one or more lateral holes 38, to prevent excess pressure or cavitation phenomena.
  • the outer lateral surfaces of the body 26 and of the cap 35 are preferably shaped so that they can be easily manipulated with spanners for screwing and unscrewing.
  • Figure 2 shows how, when the push rod 19 is in the operating position inside the hollow shaft 105, it is guided and centred correctly in the said shaft by a sleeve 39 of any suitable material which has a low coefficient of friction and is usable with food products, provided longitudinally and externally with one or more grooves or flats 40 for the passage of the gas.
