Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Füllen von Vorratsbehältern an Austraggeräten mit Pumpeneinheit und einem Dosierzylinder für jede Komponente. Ein solches Austraggerät ist z. B. aus der EP-A-0 787 535 des gleichen Anmelders bekannt. Das darin beschriebene Austraggerät ist für mindestens zwei Komponenten ausgelegt, wobei die Komponenten in je einem Vorratsbehälter eingefüllt werden.The present invention relates to a device for filling storage containers on discharge units with pump unit and a metering cylinder for each component. Such a dispenser is z. B. from the EP-A-0 787 535 of the same applicant. The dispenser described therein is designed for at least two components, wherein the components are filled in each one reservoir.

Aus der GB-A-2 349 672 ist ein Austraggerät und ein Verfahren zum Austragen und Füllen bekannt, wobei je ein Schlauch aus einem Vorratsbehälter von unten und etwa parallel zueinander an die Vorrichtung geführt ist und mittels je einer Kupplungsvorrichtung direkt an die Dosierzylinder ankuppelbar sind. Nach jeder Leerung der Dosierzylinder müssen diese neu gefüllt werden.From the GB-A-2 349 672 a dispensing device and a method for discharging and filling is known, wherein in each case a hose from a reservoir from below and approximately parallel to each other is guided to the device and by means of a coupling device can be coupled directly to the metering cylinder. After each emptying of the dosing cylinder they must be refilled.

Bei herkömmlichen Verfahren, wo nur der Deckel des Vorratsbehälters abgeschraubt und über einen Schlauch oder dergleichen der Behälter aufgefüllt wird, ergeben sich zwei gravierende Nachteile, indem einerseits bei der Abnahme des Deckels und Füllen des Vorratsbehälters Luft und Verunreinigungen in den Vorratsbehälter gelangen können und andererseits dieser Vorgang zeitraubend ist.In conventional methods, where only the lid of the reservoir unscrewed and filled via a hose or the like of the container, there are two serious disadvantages, on the one hand when removing the lid and filling the reservoir air and contaminants can get into the reservoir and on the other hand this Process is time consuming.

Aus der EP-A-1 000 669 des gleichen Anmelders ist ein Transfersystem mit Schlauchanschluss von grossen Materialbehältern zu den Vorratsbehältern des Austraggerätes bekannt, wobei ein Akkumulator zwischengeschaltet ist.From the EP-A-1 000 669 the same applicant is a transfer system with hose connection of large material containers known to the reservoirs of the dispensing device, wherein an accumulator is interposed.

Aus der US-A-3 301 272 ist eine Schnellkupplung mit Selbstabdichtung zum Verbinden von Hydraulikteilen bekannt.From the US-A-3,301,272 is a quick coupling with self-sealing for connecting hydraulic parts known.

Es ist von diesem bekannten Stand der Technik ausgehend Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Füllen von Austraggeräten anzugeben, die ein rationelles und schnelles Auffüllen von mit den Dosierzylindern verbundenen Vorratsbehälter ohne Lufteinschluss und Verunreinigungen in den zu füllenden Komponenten ermöglicht.It is based on this known prior art object of the present invention to provide a device for filling dispensing devices, which allows a rational and rapid filling of connected to the metering reservoir without air entrapment and impurities in the components to be filled.

Eine Vorrichtung die diese Aufgabe löst, ist im unabhängigen Patentanspruch 1 definiert.A device which solves this problem is defined in independent claim 1.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand von Zeichnungen eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to drawings of an embodiment.
Fig. 1
shows in a section the relevant parts for the filling of a dispensing device and the inventive filling device,
Fig. 2
shows an excerpt from Fig. 1 , and the
Fig. 3-5
show in a further detail enlargement three different phases when operating a coupling device according to Fig. 1 ,

Der Schnitt von Figur 1 zeigt Teile eines Austraggerätes 1 mit Vorratsbehältern 2 und 3 sowie Teile einer Füllstation 30 mit zu jedem Vorratsbehälter gehöriger Kupplungseinrichtung 4 und 5, je einen Anschluss 6 und 7 sowie je einen Schnellspanner 8 und 9 mit den Griffen 26 und 27 zum Betätigen der Kupplungseinrichtungen.The cut of FIG. 1 shows parts of a dispensing device 1 with reservoirs 2 and 3 and parts of a filling station 30 associated with each reservoir coupling device 4 and 5, one port 6 and 7 and one quick release 8 and 9 with the handles 26 and 27 for actuating the coupling devices.

Die Auslässe der Vorratsbehälter münden in je eine Dosiereinheit 10 und 11, wie sie beispielsweise in der eingangs genannten EP-A-0 787 535 beschrieben ist. Aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ferner ersichtlich, dass zum Füllen das Austraggerät zwischen den beiden Anschlüssen der Füllstation angeordnet und mittels der Schnellspanner die Anschlussverbindung hergestellt und gleichzeitig das Austraggerät fixiert ist.The outlets of the reservoir open into a respective dosing unit 10 and 11, as shown for example in the aforementioned EP-A-0 787 535 is described. From the FIGS. 1 and 2 is also apparent that for filling the dispensing device between the two terminals of the filling station arranged and made by means of quick release the connection and at the same time the dispensing device is fixed.

Es wird im Folgenden nur eine der beiden identischen Kupplungseinrichtungen der Füllstation beschrieben. Die Kupplungseinrichtung 5 besteht aus einem Gerätekupplungsteil 28 und einem Stationskupplungsteil 29. Der Gerätekupplungsteil 28 enthält einen Ventilteller 12 an einem Ventilschaft 13, um den eine Druckfeder 14 angeordnet ist, um den Ventilteller geschlossen zu halten und gegen den Ventilsitz in der Zentriermuffe 15 zu pressen. Der Ventilteller weist ferner einen Dichtungsring 16 auf, siehe Fig. 3. Das Gerätekupplungsteil 28 ist am Einlassstutzen 17 des Austraggerätes angeordnet.Only one of the two identical coupling devices of the filling station will be described below. The coupling device 5 consists of a device coupling part 28 and a station coupling part 29. The device coupling part 28 includes a valve plate 12 on a valve stem 13 about which a compression spring 14 is arranged to keep the valve disc closed and to press against the valve seat in the centering sleeve 15. The valve disk further comprises a sealing ring 16, see Fig. 3 , The device coupling part 28 is arranged on the inlet stub 17 of the dispensing device.

Das Stationskupplungsteil 29 ist Teil der Füllstation 30 und weist einen Öffnungsstössel 18 an einem Stösselschaft 19 auf, um den eine Druckfeder 20 angeordnet ist, deren Federkraft den Dichtzylinder nach dem Ankuppeln gegen die Zentriermuffe 15 drückt. Der Öffnungsstössel 18 und der Stösselschaft 19 sind axial in einem Kupplungskopf 24 gelagert und in einem Dichtzylinder 21 angeordnet, der gegenüber dem zylindrischen Kupplungskopf 24 axial bewegbar und mittels einer Dichtung 25 abgedichtet und von der Feder 20 beaufschlagt ist.The station coupling part 29 is part of the filling station 30 and has an opening plunger 18 on a plunger shaft 19 about which a compression spring 20 is arranged, the spring force presses the sealing cylinder after coupling against the centering sleeve 15. The opening plunger 18 and the plunger shaft 19 are mounted axially in a coupling head 24 and arranged in a sealing cylinder 21 which is axially movable relative to the cylindrical coupling head 24 and sealed by a seal 25 and acted upon by the spring 20.

Der Kupplungskopf 24 ist in einer am Träger 33 der Füllstation befestigten zylindrischen Führung 31 geführt und mündet geräteseitig in ein Zentrierteil 32 und nimmt am anderen Ende den Stösselschaft 19 sowie den Anschluss 7 auf. Der Kupplungskopf 24 wird vom Schnellspanner 9 über einen im Träger 33 gelagerten Schaft 34 betätigt.The coupling head 24 is guided in a cylindrical guide 31 fastened to the carrier 33 of the filling station and opens into a centering part 32 on the device side and receives the ram shank 19 and the connection 7 at the other end. The coupling head 24 is actuated by the quick release 9 via a shaft 33 mounted in the carrier 33.

Das vordere Ende des Öffnungsstössels ist wie beim Ventilteller konisch geformt, wobei die konische Fläche durch eine im Dichtzylinder angeordnete Dichtung 22 und die anschliessende zylindrische Fläche mit einem darin angeordneten Dichtungsring 23 gegenüber dem Dichtzylinder 21 abgedichtet ist.The front end of the opening plunger is conically shaped as in the valve disk, wherein the conical surface is sealed by a arranged in the sealing cylinder seal 22 and the subsequent cylindrical surface with a sealing ring 23 disposed therein relative to the sealing cylinder 21.

Aus den Fig. 3 bis 5 geht hervor, dass die Dichtung 22 sowohl den Öffnungsstössel gegenüber dem Dichtzylinder als auch, siehe Fig. 5, den Dichtzylinder gegenüber der Zentriermuffe am Einlassstutzen abdichtet, damit keine Flüssigkeit austreten kann und keine Luft oder Verunreinigungen eintreten können.From the Fig. 3 to 5 shows that the seal 22 both the opening plunger against the sealing cylinder and, see Fig. 5 , the sealing cylinder against the centering sleeve on the inlet nozzle seals, so that no liquid can escape and no air or impurities can enter.

Nachfolgend werden die einzelnen Phasen beim Ein- und Auskuppeln beschrieben, wobei festzuhalten ist, dass es sich bei den Öffnungsstössel- und Ventiltellerbewegungen um Relativbewegungen handelt. In Fig. 3 ist die Grundstellung dargestellt, der Kupplungskopf mit dem Auslass 7 und der Einlassstutzen am Austraggerät sind geschlossen und abgedichtet.The individual phases during engagement and disengagement are described below, whereby it should be noted that the opening stem and valve disc movements are relative movements. In Fig. 3 the basic position is shown, the coupling head with the outlet 7 and the inlet port on the dispenser are closed and sealed.

In Fig. 4 beginnt der Schliessvorgang. Der vom Schnellspanner beaufschlagte Kupplungskopf mit dem Dichtzylinder, Stösselschaft und Öffnungsstössel fährt auf den Ventilteller des Gerätekupplungsteils auf, das Zentrierteil 32 schiebt sich über die Zentriermuffe, wodurch die Luft verdrängt und der Übergang Kupplungskopf-Einlassstutzen durch die Dichtung 22 abgedichtet wird. Der Kupplungskopf wird weitergeschoben, bis er an der Vorderkante der Zentriermuffe anstösst und der Öffnungsstössel dabei den Ventilteller nach hinten drückt, womit die Stellung von Figur 5 erreicht ist.In Fig. 4 the closing process begins. The coupling head acted upon by the quick release with the sealing cylinder, ram shank and opening ram moves onto the valve plate of the device coupling part, the Centering member 32 slides over the centering sleeve, thereby displacing the air and sealing the coupler inlet port connection by the seal 22. The coupling head is pushed further until it hits the front edge of the centering sleeve and the opening plunger thereby pushes the valve plate backwards, whereby the position of FIG. 5 is reached.

In Fig. 5 ist sowohl das Ventil im Kupplungskopf als auch das Ventil im Einlassstutzen offen, doch ist das System als Ganzes über die Dichtung 22 abgedichtet, so dass der Füllvorgang gestartet werden kann, beispielsweise durch Inbetriebsetzen einer Förderpumpe.In Fig. 5 If both the valve in the coupling head and the valve in the inlet port is open, but the system is sealed as a whole via the seal 22 so that the filling process can be started, for example by putting a feed pump.

Nach dem Füllvorgang wird der Schnellspanner entriegelt und das Öffnungsventil und der Ventilteller fahren zurück und die Teilsysteme schliessen wieder dicht ab. Wenn der Kupplungskopf die Endstellung erreicht hat, kann das Austraggerät der Füllstation entnommen werden.After the filling process, the quick release is unlocked and the opening valve and the valve disk move back and the subsystems close tight again. When the coupling head has reached the end position, the dispenser can be removed from the filling station.

Aus Fig. 1 geht hervor, dass jede Komponente, bzw. jeder Behälter eine Kupplungseinrichtung aufweist, die mittels dem auf den Kupplungskopf und somit Stösselschaft des Öffnungsstössels wirkenden Schnellspanner 8 und 9 mit Griff 26 und 27 geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann, wobei der Schnellspanner an sich bekannt ist. Bei automatisierten Versionen können die manuell betätigbaren Schnellspanner durch mechanische und/oder elektrische und/oder pneumatische und/oder hydraulische Vorrichtungen ersetzt werden.Out Fig. 1 shows that each component, or each container has a coupling device which can be opened and closed by means of acting on the coupling head and thus ram shank of the opening ram quick release 8 and 9 with handle 26 and 27, wherein the quick release is known per se. In automated versions, the manually operated quick releases can be replaced by mechanical and / or electrical and / or pneumatic and / or hydraulic devices.

Aus der Beschreibung der Vorrichtung geht hervor, dass

  • die beiden Kupplungseinrichtungen auf gleicher Achse und einander gegenüber angeordnet sind,
  • beide Teilsysteme, d. h. das Gerätekupplungsteil und das Stationskupplungsteil, je für sich durch Ventile dicht verschlossen sind,
  • die Teilsysteme unkritisch gegenüber verkleben sind, da jeweils nur eine Komponente durch sie strömt,
  • die Kupplungsstelle luftfrei ist, da die vorhandene Luft vollständig entweichen kann,
  • sowohl nieder- als auch hochviskose Medien gefüllt werden können,
  • die Kupplungseinrichtung eine robuste Bauweise erlaubt, diese selbstzentrierend angeordnet und einfach bedienbar ist, und
    das Gerät während dem Füllvorgang fixiert und dann freigegeben wird.

Die Bedienschritte sind sehr einfach, indem das Austraggerät in die Aufnahme der Füllstation eingelegt wird, die Schnellspanner geschlossen und die Behälter gefüllt werden, woraufhin die Schnellspanner geöffnet werden und das gefüllte Austraggerät wieder betriebsbereit ist.The operating steps are very simple, in that the dispensing device is inserted into the receptacle of the filling station, the quick releases are closed and the containers are filled, whereupon the quick releases are opened and the filled dispensing device is ready for operation again.

Die hier beschriebene, bevorzugte Füllvorrichtung weist zwei auf gleicher Achse und einander gegenüber liegende Kupplungseinrichtungen auf, die zwischen den Auslässen der Vorratsbehälter und den Einlässen der Dosiereinheiten angeordnet sind.The preferred filling device described herein has two on-axis and opposed coupling means disposed between the outlet of the reservoir and the inlets of the metering units.

Die erfindungsgemässe Füllvorrichtung kann aber auch sowohl nur eine Kupplungseinrichtung als auch mehr als zwei Kupplungseinrichtungen aufweisen, je nach Anzahl der zu füllenden Vorratsbehälter.However, the filling device according to the invention can also have both only one coupling device and more than two coupling devices, depending on the number of reservoirs to be filled.
