Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser head and method for feeding a liquid product into a container.
  • a feed unit comprising a dispenser head over the container, and a metering valve assembly for feeding a given amount of liquid product to the dispenser head.
  • the liquid product flows through the dispenser head along a winding path with sharp changes in direction, and flows uncontrollably out of the head, thus resulting in splatter and frothing throughout the filling process, as well as dripping of the head once the container is filled.
  • a dispenser head for feeding a liquid product into a container, as claimed in claim 1.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of feeding a liquid product into a container.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a feed unit for feeding a given amount of liquid product - in this case, a beverage - into a container 2 - conveniently a thermoplastic container arrested at a filling station 3 of a packaging system (not shown).
  • Unit 1 comprises a dispenser head 4 located over container 2; and a known metering valve device 5 not described in detail.
  • head 4 has an axis 6 coincident with the flow direction of the liquid product into container 2, and comprises a fixed fastening body 7, and a nozzle 8 screwed into a seat 9 in fixed body 7.
  • Nozzle 8 in turn comprises an outer casing 10 defining a chamber 12, which communicates with a conduit 13, for conducting the liquid product metered by valve device 5, through a perforated partition 14, which divides the main product flow to chamber 12 into a number of secondary streams parallel to one another and to axis 6.
  • nozzle 8 also comprises a number of concentric tubular bodies 16 housed in casing 10, coaxially with axis 6, and defining a number of annular conduits 18 ( Figure 3 ).
  • the outermost tubular body 16a and casing 10 define an outer peripheral conduit 19 ( Figure 3 ).
  • Conduits 18 and 19 have respective annular inlets 20 communicating with chamber 12; and respective coplanar outlets 21 located at a flat end surface 22 perpendicular to axis 6 and at the free axial end of head 4.
  • annular conduits 18, 19 comprise respective straight elongated portions 24 of constant cross section and thickness along axis 6; and respective outlet end portions 25, 26, which form extensions of respective straight portions 24, terminate at surface 22 ( Figure 3 ), and, measured parallel to axis 6, are roughly a tenth of the length of straight portions 24 measured in the same direction.
  • Each outlet end portion 25 increases in cross section towards free end surface 22. More specifically, each outlet end portion 25 is bounded externally by a cylindrical surface 27 parallel to axis 6, and internally by a conical surface 28 tapering in the liquid product flow direction and towards axis 6 to permit or assist flow of the respective part of liquid product towards axis 6.
  • outlet end portion 26 of conduit 19 is conical, i.e. converges towards axis 6, to feed the respective part of liquid product towards axis 6 and so taper the outflow of liquid product from end surface 22, as shown in Figure 1 . More specifically, outlet end portion 26 decreases in cross section towards end surface 22, and is bounded by straight, parallel conical surfaces 31, 32 converging towards axis 6 and respectively defining outer tubular body 16a and outer casing 10.
  • a solid elongated body 33 is inserted loosely inside the centre tubular body 16b, extends along axis 6, and defines an annular conduit 18 with centre tubular body 16b to prevent liquid product flow along and about or in the immediate vicinity of axis 6.
  • the cross section, and therefore the outlet, of the innermost conduit 18 is also annular.
  • solid body 33 comprises a straight cylindrical elongated portion 34 parallel to axis 6; an intermediate portion 35 tapering towards axis 6 and terminating at surface 22; and a hemispherical end portion 36 connected to intermediate portion 35 at surface 22, and projecting from surface 22 in the liquid product flow direction.
  • the outflow of liquid product from device 5 is 'broken up or divided' into a number of streams, parallel to axis 6, by the perforated partition 14 at the inlet to chamber 12, from which the liquid product flows substantially laminarly, with no change in direction, into straight portions 24 of conduits 18 and 19.
  • a continuous stream 37 of liquid product thus flows out of head 4, and comprises, from head 4 and in the liquid product flow direction, a tapered portion 37a bounded by a concave lateral surface; and a cylindrical portion 37b, as shown in Figure 1 .
  • the liquid product is metered and fed into container 2 in only two consecutive steps : a first step, in which a first given amount of liquid product is dispensed; and a second step, in which a second amount, greater than the first, is dispensed.
  • Tests show that the geometry of liquid product stream 37 from head 4 and the variation in liquid product flow when filling container 2 greatly reduce splatter and frothing, both at the start of the filling procedure, as the liquid product hits the bottom of container 2, and when the liquid product level reaches the edge of container 2. As a result, the outer surface of container 2, and more particularly the edge to which the lid is heat-sealed once container 2 is filled, both remain clean.
