Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling a fluid flow having a housing and two disposed within an interior of the housing valve elements which are arranged relative to the housing movable and connected to an actuating device.
  • Such devices are used, for example, to fill containers with liquids, in particular with beverages. Also, applications can be made in the dosing of liquids containing solid or particulate fractions. Opening and closing operations are typically controlled using pistons or rotary valves.
  • piston valves there is the particular disadvantage that when closing the valve, the narrowing cross-sectional area causes a turbulent discharge of the filling jet and thereby leads to spraying and foaming of the filled product.
  • piston valves often leads to an intake of air at an opening of the valve, which on the one hand also a foaming is supported and on the other hand due to an addition of air instead of filling an exact filling is impaired.
  • Object of the present invention is to construct a device of the aforementioned type such that a targeted influencing a Dosier characterizing can be done.
  • first valve element for performing a first movement sequence and the second valve element for performing a second movement sequence is formed, wherein the first and the second movement can be controlled by the actuator, and that the first and the second movement relative are different predetermined, that the first and the second movement relative to each other are not mirror-symmetric predetermined and that a limited of the valve elements flow channel opens into an outflow whose Aus-strömwinkel of the valve elements is variable.
  • the actuating device it is thus possible to specify by the actuating device not only the time of opening or closing movements of the valve elements, but to act directly on the actual movement sequences present.
  • the action on the movement processes makes it possible, in particular, to vary the shape of the outflow channel defined by the two valve elements and to adapt it specifically to specific boundary conditions of the dosing process as well as to specific product properties.
  • This can influence the geometric design of the Ausströmweges in a closing of the valve elements such that a foaming of a product to be filled and an undesirable spraying are at least significantly reduced.
  • valve elements are designed to carry out pivoting movements.
  • valve elements are limited in the region of their opposing expansions at least partially circular segment-like.
  • a joint-like guidance of the valve elements can be assisted by the fact that the valve elements are inserted in shell-like guides of the housing in the region of their mutually remote expansions.
  • the first and the second movement sequence can be predetermined differently relative to one another.
  • An influencing of a metering behavior of the fluid is in particular supported by the fact that the first and the second movement sequence can be predetermined relative to one another in a mirror-symmetrical manner.
  • a robust construction as well as a sufficient resistance to sterilization processes are achieved in that the actuator is designed as a mechanical control.
  • a movement coupling is achieved in that the actuating device has an actuating element, which is at least partially rod-like and which carries a transverse web which engages with at least one profile in at least one counter-profile of the valve elements.
  • a first degree of freedom in the implementation of actuating movements is provided by the fact that the actuating element is arranged displaceably in the direction of a longitudinal axis.
  • the actuator is slidably disposed in the direction of a transverse axis which extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • valve elements and the actuator are formed as part of a filling device.
  • FIG Fig. 1 in a housing (1) two valve elements (2, 3) are arranged.
  • the housing (1) has a cover (4) through which an actuating element (5) is guided in a sealed manner.
  • the actuating element (5) is rod-shaped and provided in the region of the valve elements (2, 3) facing the end with a transverse web (6).
  • the transverse web (6) transmits a movement of the actuating element (5) to the valve elements (2, 3) and predetermines their positioning relative to the housing (1).
  • the valve elements (2, 3) In the region of their mutually remote expansions, the valve elements (2, 3) on a circular segment-like boundary and are sealed in half-shell-like wells (7, 8) of the housing (1) out.
  • a flow channel (9) In the area their mutually facing expansions limit the valve elements (2, 3) a flow channel (9).
  • the flow channel (9) opens into a discharge nozzle (10) which delimits an outflow opening (11).
  • valve elements (2, 3) each have pivot bearings (12, 13), which with in Fig. 1 not shown guides of the housing (1) cooperate.
  • the actuating element (5) can be positioned both in the direction of a longitudinal axis (14) and in the direction of a transverse axis (15).
  • Fig. 1 illustrates that between the longitudinal axis (14), which is a longitudinal axis of the housing (1) and a longitudinal axis of the element (16), which represents a center line of the actuating element (5), according to the operating state in Fig. 1 a distance (17) is present.
  • This distance was predetermined by a positioning of the actuating element (5) in the direction of the transverse axis (15).
  • the distance between the longitudinal axis (14) and the element longitudinal axis (16) means that the valve elements (2, 3) relative to the longitudinal axis (14) need not have a mirror image positioning, but are positioned differently relative to each other. By means of this predetermined different positioning, the desired influencing of the geometry of the flow channel (9) takes place.
  • Fig. 2 shows the arrangement according to Fig. 1 in a cleaning position.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates that the valve elements (2, 3) in the direction of axes of rotation of the pivot bearing (12, 13) have no constant thickness, but that the valve elements (2, 3) are provided in a region of the flow channel (9) facing away from the expansion with a reduced material thickness.
  • This reduced material thickness allows that in the in Fig. 2 illustrated cleaning position, a flushing of the valve elements (2, 3) can be done with a detergent used.
  • Possible flow paths are in Fig. 2 illustrated by arrows.
  • valve elements (2, 3) are in the in Fig. 2 illustrated cleaning position in the region of the outflow opening (11) facing away from each other so far approximated that starting from an inflow channel (18) of the housing (1), the cleaning liquid behind the thickened material region of the valve elements (2, 3) can pass.
  • Fig. 3 shows a simplified representation to illustrate an interaction of the actuating element (5) and the valve elements (2, 3). Opposite the representation in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in this case, a viewing direction from the rear, so that in particular the transverse web (6) is completely visible.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates in particular that the valve elements (2, 3) control profiles (19, 20), in which engages the transverse web (6).
  • the control profiles (19, 20) can be designed in particular as groove-like depressions in the valve elements (2, 3).
  • Fig. 3 illustrates such a different positioning of the valve elements (2, 3), which results in that in the in Fig. 3 illustrated closure position, the valve elements (2, 3) assume a predetermined positioning relative to each other.
  • an outflow direction (21) does not act in the direction of the longitudinal axis (14) but, for example, as in FIG Fig. 3 illustrated, is aligned obliquely to the longitudinal axis (14).
  • Fig. 3 also a longitudinal profile of the actuating element (5), which may also be formed groove-shaped. Using the longitudinal profile (20), positioning of the actuating element (5) in the direction of the transverse axis (15) can be carried out in a simple manner.
  • Fig. 4 shows the arrangement according to Fig. 2 in a viewing direction from the rear and with an associated housing cover (23).
  • the housing cover (23) is arranged laterally to the housing (1) and carries bearing pins (24, 25) which engage in the pivot bearings (12, 13).
  • the projections (26) can be designed as a pin in a simple embodiment, but in principle also versions with reduced friction properties are conceivable.
  • the connecting profile (28) may be formed, for example, as a T-profile.
