Definitions
- the present invention relates to a valve for filling flowable products with and without a piece-like portion with a mouthpiece and with a tappet, the mouthpiece having an outlet bore, the tappet being displaceable in the direction of extension of the outlet bore between a closed and an open position, the
- the plunger has a cutting edge, the cutting edge being aligned in the direction of the outlet bore parallel to its direction of extension, the cutting edge extending along a line completely encircling the plunger and the cutting edge being arranged in the closed position within the outlet bore.
- valves are used when filling flowable food. These can be juices on the one hand or yogurt or vegetable products that contain pieces of fruit or vegetables, for example, as a lumpy portion.
- the valves are installed in filling machines in which the products are filled into individual packages. It is necessary for these valves to close reliably, since dripping between the individual filling processes would lead to contamination of the machine. In addition, these filling machines should be versatile in use for a wide variety of products, without the need for complex conversion measures.
- a valve of the type mentioned is known from DE 28 24 680 AI, from which the present invention is based.
- the known valve has a mouthpiece, the inner wall of which narrows conically to form an outlet bore.
- a plunger which is displaceable in the outlet bore is provided and has a cutting edge which completely surrounds it.
- the tappet engages in the outlet bore, the cutting edge being guided past a pressure edge.
- the pressure edge is the inner edge of the inner wall of the mouthpiece, which tapers conically downwards and at the same time serves as a sealing surface for sealing the interior of the mouthpiece from the outlet bore.
- lumpy portions such as pieces of fruit, vegetables or the like are cut, which are located during the closing process in the area of the outlet bore or between the cutting edge and the pressure edge. This is to prevent the lumpy portions of the product to be filled from obstructing the filling valve from closing in the area of the outlet bore by the lumpy portions getting between the sealing surfaces of the mouthpiece and plunger.
- the cutting edge completely surrounds the circumference of the tappet and extends along a line completely encircling the tappet such that the entire edge or the pressure edge of the outlet opening is gripped by the cutting edge. If the cutting edge is in the closed position and thus completely within the outlet bore, it has the outlet bore completely happened and the lumpy parts located in this edge area were captured and cut.
- the tapered sealing surface of the mouthpiece also comes into contact with an annular surface provided on the plunger above the cutting edge, thereby preventing product from running on.
- a disadvantage of the known valve is that even after the lumpy portions located in the area of the outlet bore have been cut, parts of the cut portions remain in the sealing area of the valve and can get between the sealing surfaces there. This can prevent the valve from closing completely. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that when filling products with solid, lumpy parts, such as cores or the like, high forces have to be applied to close the valve. Since the valves are used to fill partial quantities of the product in packaging and are opened and closed very frequently, extremely powerful actuators must be used and the actuators and the valves themselves must be designed to be very robust in order to avoid malfunctions as far as possible. The aforementioned valves are therefore relatively expensive both in terms of purchase and in operation.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a valve for filling flowable products with and without a lumpy portion, which closes reliably in the case of low-viscosity liquids and in products with lumpy portions, and in which Even with hard, lumpy parts, only small forces and mechanical loads occur when the valve is closed.
- this object is achieved in that a shear bar is provided in the region of the outlet bore, which completely surrounds the outlet bore, and in that a collecting groove is provided on the side of the shear bar facing away from the outlet bore.
- the shear bar provided in the area of the outlet bore on the mouthpiece and completely surrounding the outlet bore, particularly solid, lumpy portions of the product to be filled can be reliably severed without having to use high forces.
- the shear bar is easy to implement from a manufacturing point of view if the shear bar extends in a plane perpendicular to the direction of extension of the outlet bore.
- the cutting edge runs along a closed line, which is associated with the advantage that the cutting edge has no points at which special stress peaks can occur during the closing.
- the closed line can run in a plane that is arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension of the outlet opening. In this case, the entire edge of the outlet bore is simultaneously passed by the cutting edge, which has the advantage that only a small stroke of the ram is necessary.
- the closed line can also run in a plane which is arranged inclined to the direction of extension of the outlet bore.
- the cutting edge only passes the edge of the outlet bore at two points at a time, so that comparatively little effort is required to transfer the plunger from the open to the closed position.
- the collecting groove preferably has an outlet which can be connected to the outlet bore.
- the drain can have a section running parallel to the outlet bore and a section running perpendicular to the outlet bore, which in turn can be implemented in a simple manner in terms of production technology by two bores, one bore starting from the collecting groove and the other from the outlet bore.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the valve according to the invention in longitudinal section
- Fig. 2 shows the area near the outlet bore of a second embodiment of the valve according to the invention in longitudinal section.
- valve 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a valve 1 according to the invention, the valve 1 having a mouthpiece 2 in which a tappet 3 is arranged. Furthermore, the mouthpiece 2 has an inlet opening 4 and an outlet bore 5. The interior of the mouthpiece 2, at least in an outer region, tapers conically in the direction of the outlet bore 5, as seen from the inlet opening 4.
- the plunger 3 can be displaced along a direction of extension 6 extending between the inlet opening 4 and the outlet bore 5 between a closed position shown in FIG. 1 and an open position.
- the plunger 3 has a frustoconical section 7 on the side facing the outlet bore 5.
- a cutting edge 8 is provided on the tappet 3 from the outlet bore 5, behind the frustoconical section 7.
- the cutting edge 8 points in the direction of the outlet bore 5 and is aligned parallel to its direction of extension 6. Furthermore, the cutting edge 8 extends along a line that completely surrounds the plunger 3, so that the periphery of the plunger 3 is completely surrounded by the cutting edge 8. As a result, the entire edge of the outlet bore 5 is gripped by the cutting edge.
- the cutting edge 8 is arranged completely within the outlet bore 5 in the closed position.
- the cutting edge 8 runs along a closed line which completely surrounds the plunger 3. Due to the “closed” cutting edge 8, there are no points at which special load peaks can occur. Seen from the outlet bore 5 behind the cutting edge 8, a support ring 10 is arranged on the plunger 3, which in turn holds a 0-ring 11.
- the mouthpiece 2 In the area of the outlet bore 5, the mouthpiece 2 according to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a counter cutting edge 12 which interacts with the cutting edge 8.
- the shear bar 12 completely surrounds the outlet bore 5 and extends in a plane perpendicular to the direction of extension ⁇ of the outlet bore 5.
- valve 1 has a collecting groove 13 on the side of the shearbar 12 facing away from the outlet bore 5.
- the collecting groove 13 serves in the meantime to take up the lumpy portions of the product to be filled cut up by the sheaths 8, 12.
- the cutting edge 8 shown in FIG. 1 lies in a plane which is arranged inclined to the direction of extension 6 of the outlet bore 5. Therefore, the cutting edge 8 passes the edge of the counter cutting edge 12 at only two points at a time 8 lies, but can alternatively also be arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension 6, if, for example, a small stroke for opening and closing the valve 1 is to be achieved.
- the 0-ring 11 lies against the conical part of the inner wall of the mouthpiece 2, so that the interior of the mouthpiece 2 is sealed off from the outlet bore 5. This leaves a volume area, albeit a small one, between the 0-ring 11 and the edge of the outlet bore 5 or the cutting edge 8, which includes the collecting groove 13 for the interim reception of cut-up, lumpy portions of the product to be filled.
- the exemplary embodiment of a valve 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 2 initially has a tappet 3 which is identical to that of the valve 1 shown in FIG. 1. Furthermore, the mouthpiece 2 in the region of the outlet bore 5 likewise has a counter cutting edge 12 which interacts with the cutting edge 8 of the plunger 3.
- the shear bar 12 completely surrounds the outlet bore 5 and extends in a plane perpendicular to the
- a collecting groove 13 is also provided on the side of the shearbar 12 facing away from the outlet bore 5.
- the collecting groove 13 is also connected to the outlet bore 5 via an outlet 14.
- the outlet 14 has a section 15 running parallel to the outlet bore 5 and a section 16 running perpendicular to the outlet bore 5. Via the outlet 14, liquid components that are in the after the valve 1 is closed Collection groove 13 remain, flow through the outlet bore 5.
- the valve 1 according to the invention can be used in the area of a filling machine, its inlet opening 4 being connected to a feed line (not shown in detail) and the packaging to be filled being arranged below the outlet bore 5.
- the plunger 3 When the packaging is filled, the plunger 3 is initially in the open position, in which the frustoconical section 7 is also located outside the outlet bore 5, so that the product to be filled can flow through the outlet bore 5 into the packaging. When a sufficient fill level is reached in the packaging, the plunger 3 is moved down into the closed position, the cutting edge 8 passing the counter cutting edge 12.
- the cutting edge 8 When the plunger 3 has reached the closed position, the cutting edge 8 has completely passed the counter cutting edge 12 and the O-ring 11 lies against the section of the mouthpiece 2 tapering in the shape of a truncated cone.
- the 0-ring 11 initially ensures that the valve 1 seals reliably.
- the presence of the cutting edges 8, 12 and the collecting groove 13 prevents lumpy portions in the area of the outlet bore 5 or in the area of the inside of the mouthpiece 2, which serves as a sealing surface, from preventing reliable closing.
- the cutting edge 8 is arranged as a closed line in a plane which is inclined relative to the direction of extension 6 of the outlet bore 5, the cutting edge 8 passes the shearbar 12 at only two points at a time.
- lumpy portions of the product to be filled which are located at the edge of the outlet bore 5 within the mouthpiece 2, are cut up and not only sheared off.
- those of the lumpy portions that do not fall into the outlet bore 5 after cutting can be received in the collecting groove 13.
- liquid components can also reach the outlet bore 5 via the outlet 14 from the collecting groove 13.
