Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a product delivery device for container filling installation.
  • the invention also relates to a filling installation comprising such devices.
  • a filling installation generally comprises a frame on which is mounted a rotating platform surmounted by a product supply assembly comprising one or more feed lines.
  • the feed lines have ends to which are connected product delivery devices each having a tubing having at least one end provided with means for its attachment to the feed line and an opposite end provided with a spout.
  • the device further comprises a metering valve associated with control means.
  • the control means comprise dosing elements, for example by weighing or constant level, for dosing the amount of product.
  • Container supports are integral with the platform to support the containers directly above the filling spouts.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a means to make these facilities more versatile by facilitating arrangements including the dosing mode or the support containers.
  • a product delivery device for a container filling installation comprising a tubing having at least one end provided with a spout and an opposite end provided with means for attaching it to a spout. supply line of the filling plant, and a platen fixed to the tubing and provided with a support having a portion extending opposite the spout to support a container, the device comprising at least one metering valve and valve control means extending outside the the tubing and comprising a weight dosing member, the control means being received in a housing integral with the tubing.
  • the container support is suspended from the tubing which will itself be suspended from the supply line. Fixing the delivery device thus allows to fix the support. No intervention is needed on the platform.
  • the delivery device incorporates the control means which are attached to the tubing.
  • the suspension of the delivery device at the feed line also makes it possible to fix the control means in addition to the support.
  • the housing provides protection of the control means against external aggression and in particular liquid splashes, dust and shocks during the introduction or removal of the delivery device.
  • the support comprises elastic means for holding containers that do not need to be positively controlled, or electrical holding means requiring only a power supply to be controlled.
  • the invention also relates to a filling installation comprising a product feed line which is suspended at least one delivery device having any of the preceding characteristics.
  • the installation thus has a simple structure resulting from the suspension of the support at the power supply line of the installation.
  • the filling installation according to the invention and described here is intended to be implanted in a container packaging line, such as bottles, having a body having a bottom and the opposite an upper portion formed of a neck provided with a collar.
  • the filling installation comprises a frame 1 on which is mounted a rotary structure 2 (shown in double dotted lines) provided in its upper part with a feed line (also shown in double dotted line) here comprising a product tank 3 from which feed lines 4 extend (only a few of which are shown here).
  • the filling installation comprises product delivery devices, generally designated 5, which are suspended from the supply lines 4.
  • each delivery device 5 comprises a tubing 6 having at least one end 6.1 provided with a spout 7 and an opposite end 6.2 provided with means for attaching it to the supply pipe 4.
  • the fastening means comprise a flange extending laterally from the end 6.2 intended to be enclosed in a flange 8 with a flange of the free end of the supply pipe 4.
  • Each delivery device comprises a plate 9 fixed to the pipe 6 and forming a lower horizontal wall of a housing 10 integral with the pipe 6.
  • the housing 10 encloses control means 11 of a valve, not visible in the figures, extending in the pipe 6.
  • the control means 11 here comprise an electromagnetic member for moving the valve connected to a weight dosing member to be controlled according to signals emitted by the weight dosing member.
  • the weight metering member comprises, in a manner known per se, a deformable bar 12 fixed inside the housing 10 cantilevered on the plate 9.
  • the control means 11 require, in order to function, to be connected to a source of electrical energy not shown.
  • the control means 11 and the deformable bar 12 are protected from external aggressions by the housing 10.
  • the deformable bar 12 has a free end to which is connected a support, generally designated 13, a container.
  • the support 13 comprises a vertical column 14 which is suspended at a free end of the deformable bar 12 and which has a lower end of which is rigidly secured a support portion 15 supporting the container by the neck and a support portion 16 supporting the bottom of the container.
  • Column 14 passes through plate 9 via an opening in which the column 14 is received vertically sliding.
  • the support portion 15 has two jaws movable between an open position and a closed position in which the jaws are biased resiliently. When the neck is engaged between the jaws, they depart to let the neck before closing elastically on it, the collar then resting on the upper surface of the jaws.
  • the support portion 16 is connected to the support portion 15 by a vertical column 17 suspended from the support portion 15.
  • the invention can be used in rotary or linear filling plants, with any type of dosing mode and especially weight or constant level.
  • the nozzle can be removable as described above or in one piece with the tubing, the tubing can be very short or relatively long length.
  • the valve may extend into the tubing or spout.
  • Part of the control means may extend inside the tubing.
  • the weighing means may be of a different type.
  • the number of delivery devices in a filling plant may be different from that shown.
  • the filling installation can thus comprise only a delivery device.
