Definitions
- the invention relates to a container, in particular a large-volume container for receiving biased liquids such as
- Beverages preferably a so-called keg keg or a keg container, with a filling head, which has a first channel, for. B. product channel, and a second
- Keg barrels or containers according to the invention are used predominantly in gastronomy and usually have a content in the size of 30 I or 50 I.
- the propellant gas is generally carbon dioxide, but it is also possible to use nitrogen or basically other gases.
- a connection head is provided to fill the keg with usually swept down end-face valve fitting from the outside.
- the said connection head or filling head has a hollow-cylindrical ram.
- a valve seal of the valve fitting can be lifted off its sealing seat.
- both a flow path in the Keginnere for the product medium respectively the liquid or the beverage are released as well as a flow path in a riser of the valve manifold.
- the keg is filled by a so-called annular channel on the outer peripheral side of said plunger and vented during the filling process on the described second flow path and a so-called siding.
- This basic procedure has in practice led to the fact that the entire system technology, the piping and also the filling head have been optimized and designed for this process.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of developing such a container, in particular large-volume container, so that the paths of the product medium on the one hand and the gas medium on the other hand can be exchanged easily and with little effort.
- the plunger is arranged so that the flow paths of on the one hand the product medium and on the other hand
- Gas medium can be interchanged with each other.
- the plunger generally has a Strömungsweg spalement.
- Strömungsweg conference pensions the flow path for the gas medium in the filling head is further passed into the flow path for the product medium and vice versa.
- the invention proposes in detail that the plunger is designed as a replaceable tappet with Strömungswegcicelement.
- the flow path change element may be integrated in the replaceable tappet.
- the plunger has a replacement element. Then the replacement element is usually equipped with the optionally integrated Strömungsweg perennialelement.
- the plunger regularly has a two-part construction. This is composed of a plunger base and a so that can be coupled plunger top.
- the exchange element is advantageously configured as a plunger upper part that can be coupled to the plunger base.
- the plunger can be moved axially in the filling head and is mounted axially displaceable in the filling head accordingly.
- the filling head can rest against a valve seal, as described in DE 31 05 706 A1, when the container is opened or the valve fitting opened accordingly - and lift it off its sealing seat.
- the two flow paths are released on the one hand along the so-called Ringkanais outer peripheral side of the plunger and on the other hand by the interior of the plunger and the siding.
- the product medium for example beer
- the product medium for example beer
- the product medium for example beer
- the outer annular channel provides for the guidance of the gas medium. That can - as already described - can be achieved with the ram designed as a change ram according to the invention or by resorting to the exchange element.
- the valve fitting generally has a rotationally symmetrical and substantially cylindrical structure.
- the plunger has the already described outer annular channel, which is realized on the outer peripheral side.
- this annular channel is designed in detail so that the plunger over a certain range has an outer cylinder jacket, which opens into openings, via which the outer annular channel usually communicates with the barrel interior.
- the openings are predominantly in a sealing collar, so that they are closed when the plunger assumes its rest position and the container or the keg is closed. In this position, the valve seat of the valve assembly is not lifted.
- product medium and gas medium in the context of the invention means virtually all flowable media, so in the example of the product medium not necessarily only drinks or cleaning liquid.
- gas medium which is generally a propellant or gas span, but in principle can also be a liquid. Therefore, one could also speak of a first medium and a second medium.
- product medium and the gas medium the speech.
- the design of the flow path change element is done in detail as follows. Thereafter, the outer annular channel is equipped in the Strömungsweg conferenceelement with a shut-off, which divides the outer annular channel into a closed inlet channel and an outlet channel with the at least one opening.
- the Strömungsweg conferenceelement advantageously has a divided riser inside, which is composed of inlet pipe and outlet pipe.
- the design of the flow path Change element is now made such that the closed inlet channel with the discharge line and the inlet line to the outlet channel and consequently the at least one opening are connected.
- the desired change of the flow paths of one hand the product medium and on the other hand the gas medium is achieved by minor modifications to an existing plunger.
- the conversion can be realized relatively inexpensively.
- the plunger according to the invention is an option, which is then used when the described requirement for the flow path change must be realized.
- the main benefits are the main benefits.
- FIG 1 shows the container according to the invention schematically with associated filling head and valve fitting
- Fig. 3 is a plunger top in a conventional design
- the ram upper part as a replacement element with exchanged flow path on the one hand the product medium and on the other hand, the gas medium.
- a container in particular a large-volume container in the form of a keg barrel 1 is shown.
- the keg barrel 1 is generally used to hold liquids, in the present case for receiving drinks, especially beer.
- the keg barrel 1 is moved to an overhead position shown in FIG. 1 and a local valve fitting 2 is connected to a filling head 3.
- a local valve fitting 2 is connected to a filling head 3.
- the filling head 3 is an axially displaceable plunger 4, which is shown in an overall view in Fig. 2.
- a valve 5 can be lifted within the filling head 3 of an associated valve seat 6, as shown in the right part of Fig. 1.
- a product medium in the present case, the liquid or the beverage or beer
- flow through an outer annular channel 7 in the barrel interior as indicated by corresponding arrows.
- the arrows for the flow path through the outer annular channel 7 are logically directed upward in FIG. This also applies to arrows that mark the flow path of the gas medium.
- the gas medium or biasing gas is supplied via a gas channel 8, which extends through the interior of the hollow cylindrical ram 4.
- the gas channel 8 is continued in a riser pipe or siding S, which or which projects into the interior of the keg barrel 1. It can be seen that in the right-hand illustration according to FIG. 1, both the outer ring channel or product channel 7 and also the gas channel 8 are open. Both channels 7, 8 form a first channel 7 and a second channel 8 for different media, which must be designed to be flowable in order to ensure the filling of the keg barrel 1.
- the outer annular channel 7 is provided with the flow path change element 9 with a shut-off unit 10.
- the shut-off unit 10 divides the outer annular channel 7 into a closed inlet channel 7a and an outlet channel 7b.
- the outlet channel 7b opens on the output side into a plurality of openings 11, which are arranged like a ring and the periphery of the exchange element 4, in a sealing collar 12. If the plunger 4 in the retracted position shown in FIG. 1 or in its rest position, the Openings 11 of said sealing collar 12 is closed. If, on the other hand, the plunger 4 assumes its position corresponding to the open position of the keg barrel in accordance with the right-hand illustration in FIG. 1, the openings 11 in the sealing collar 12 are free of an associated valve seat 13.
- the Strömungsweg conference circuit 9 also has a subdivided riser 14, which is equipped with an inlet line 14a and a discharge line 14b.
- the inlet line 14a and the outlet line 14b communicate with each other just as little as the inlet channel 7a and the outlet channel 7b with its openings 11. In this way, the exchange of flow paths on the one hand the product medium and on the other hand, the gas medium can be easily realized. Because the flow path change element 9 connects the closed inlet channel 7a with the outlet line 14b.
- the product medium guided, for example, via the outer annular channel 7 with the help of the Strömungsweg chandelieriatas 9 in the interior of the exchange element 4 according to the invention is not further circumferentially of the exchange element 4 out (as in the exchange element 4 according to the prior art according to FIG. 3), but enters via the discharge line or the outlet channel 14b in the way, which has been previously reserved for the gas channel 8.
- the inlet line 14a is connected to the outlet channel 7b and consequently the openings 11.
- the gas medium which is generally supplied via the outlet channel 7b ultimately reaches the outside via the openings 11, thus occupying the flow path previously taken up by the product medium.
- the exchange element 4a according to FIG. 3 is distinguished by the fact that the gas medium is guided continuously through the gas channel 8 in the interior of the hollow-cylindrical plunger 4, whereas the product medium is distributed over the entire length of the plunger 4 on the outer circumference through the annular channel 7 into the interior of the plunger 4 Keg-barrel 1 (or out of this) flows.
- the connection of the exchange element or ram upper part 4a with the plunger base 4b can be done by a screw, plug connection, bayonet connection or similar measures.
- the compound allows a change of the respective exchange element 4a either according to the embodiment of FIG. 3 or the embodiment of FIG. 4.
- a conventional filling head 3 by the replacement of the plunger 4 or ram upper part 4a for the filling or generally the treatment of the keg keg 1 be converted.
- Treatment here means the emptying of the keg barrel 1 of residues, its cleaning, a pressure test, etc. In this way, can be used on conventional filling heads 3 and there are no new purchases required. Due to the described change of the flow paths for on the one hand the product medium and on the other hand, the gas medium can not only reusable container or keg barrels 1 for reusable operation with conventional systems treat, but also and especially disposable kegs on conventional Keganlagen, without major modification.
