Description

The present invention relates to a filling device for filling containers and in particular for filling containers with multi-component drinks. Such filling devices are known from the prior art and are used, for example, for bottling still and carbonated beverages to which syrups or fibrous or lumpy liquids are added. It should be noted, however, that the described filling device may also be suitable for filling with other liquids, such as oils, milk, juices, soft drinks.

In such filling devices, a plurality of components of the substance to be filled are usually supplied and filled into the container to be filled via a filling valve. However, in particular, when one of the components is a component with pieces of fruit or the like, this is sometimes difficult to cope with because the corresponding valves can cause these liquids to splash around.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a filling device for filling liquids, in particular beverages, into containers, which improves the filling process and in particular also simplifies the filling of liquids with pieces of fruit or the like.

From the DE 10 2006 045 987 A1 a method for filling containers with a liquid product and a filling system is known. There are at least two components of the filling mixed together. At least one of the components is supplied using a flow meter volume and volume controlled.

The EP 1 362 825 B9 describes a rotary machine for filling containers. In this case, a supply device for additives has a plurality of tubes, wherein along the tubes means for interrupting the opening of the tubes are arranged to open and close them.

The US 5,829,476 describes a filling valve for two filling streams. In this case, a flow channel is arranged within the second flow channel and this inner flow channel has a valve which is movable relative to this flow channel, so that the inflow of a second liquid to a first liquid can be controlled. However, due to this arrangement of the valve, inadequate mixing of the two liquids to be mixed may occur, and also the obstruction of the exit of the mixed liquid from the filling device presents problems if the said second liquid comprises pieces of fruit or the like.

The EP 0 775 668 A1 describes a filling machine and a filling element for such a machine. In this case, a flow meter is arranged in the liquid channel of each filling element.

The above objects are achieved by the subject matters of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further development are the subject of the dependent claims.

A filling device according to the invention for filling containers with a liquid and in particular a beverage has a first port for supplying a first liquid to the filling device, and a second port for supplying a second liquid to the filling device, wherein the first port and the second port are different from one another separated and preferably also spaced from each other.

Furthermore, a kind of mixing space is formed within the filling device, in which the liquids are miscible with each other and a first liquid channel, the directing first fluid from the first port to the mixing space and a second fluid passage leading the second fluid from the second port to the mixing space, the first fluid passage and the second fluid passage separating the first fluid and the second fluid separately.

Furthermore, a valve body is provided for controlling an outflow of the liquids from the filling device and an outlet for dispensing the liquid to the container.

According to the invention, the valve body is arranged at least partially and preferably completely between the mixing space and the outlet.

In the case of the above mentioned US 5,829,476 a valve is provided, which closes one of the two fluid channels. When opening this channel, the one fluid is merged with the other fluid. However, there is no further valve downstream provided, which meters the already mixed liquid into the container.

Thus, it is proposed in the context of the present invention to produce the combination of the components already above the valve and then to pass through a common valve in the container. Advantageously, no further valve is provided between the outlet and the two said fluid channels in addition to said valve body, so that said valve body is the only valve means between the two fluid channels and the outlet and preferably also the single valve body between the two ports and the outlet.

In an advantageous embodiment, the filling device has an actuating element for actuating the valve body and this actuating element extends at least partially within the second fluid channel. Advantageously, this actuator also extends geometrically within the first fluid channel.

Thus, first the two liquids are fed unmixed to the mixing chamber. This actuating element is advantageously connected to the valve body such that an actuation of the actuating element also causes a corresponding movement of the valve body, especially in the longitudinal direction of the filling device. Preferably, the device has a return element, which urges the actuating element and thus also the valve body in a closed position of the valve. And so the said valve body is part of a valve which controls the outflow from the filling device.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the filling device has a further channel for conducting a gaseous medium. This channel may, for example, be a return channel for removing a gaseous medium, for example carbon dioxide, from the container during the filling process, ie. H. remove the so-called return gas.

In the embodiment according to the invention, the second liquid channel surrounds the first liquid channel at least in sections. Preferably, the first liquid channel completely surrounds the second liquid channel in the circumferential direction at least in a region of the longitudinal direction. For example, the second liquid channel may be formed annularly around the first liquid channel.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the two nested liquid channels are rigid, i. immovable relative to each other and relative to the Füllventilgehäuse.

In a further preferred embodiment, the second fluid channel is for transporting a particulate fluid. This liquid may, for example, be pulp, ie a liquid which also contains pulp or fruit pieces.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the second connection is arranged closer to the mixing chamber than the first connection. Advantageously, the second port serves to feed the pulp. However, it would also be possible that, conversely, this second port serves to supply a clear liquid, such as, for example, a carbonated liquid.

In a further advantageous embodiment, at least one liquid channel and preferably the first liquid channel extend obliquely at least in sections. By means of this inclined guide, an optimized flow profile can be achieved in both fluids until they exit the discharge opening. Preferably, the first and the second liquid channel are formed in sections parallel to each other and in particular concentric with each other.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the first liquid channel and the second liquid channel are arranged in a common housing.

Advantageously, the valve body adjoins the mixing chamber. This means that, for example, in a filling process, first the two liquids are mixed together in the mixing chamber and then the mixture exits the filling device by opening the valve body. In this way, a syringe, which could be caused by pieces of fruit, can be prevented.

However, it would also be possible for the supply of the first liquid, d. H. In particular, the clear liquid is controlled so that first the first liquid, then the mixture enters the container and then still a certain amount of clear liquid so that any remaining fruit pieces are removed from the valve body.

In a further advantageous embodiment, a bellows for sealing the actuating element is provided in the interior of the first fluid channel. Since this actuator - as stated above - is advantageously performed within the fluid channel, a sealing of the actuating element relative to the surrounding liquid can be made by said bellows. This bellows allows movement of the actuating element and at the same time prevents the actuating element from coming into contact with the liquid.

In a further advantageous embodiment, a centering element which is movable relative to the second liquid channel for centering a position of the valve body is provided in the interior of the first liquid channel. This centering is thus by guided the liquid channel and the inner wall, so that the valve body can always be moved in an exact position with respect to the filling device in its longitudinal direction. In this way, a clean closing of the valve of the filling device is possible.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the first liquid channel in a longitudinal direction of the filling device is shorter than the second liquid channel. Particularly preferably, therefore, the outer channel is shorter than the inner channel and is in particular upwards, d. H. away from the container, shorter than the inner channel. Advantageously, therefore, the connection leading to the outer or the second channel is lower than the connection leading to the inner channel or first channel. As mentioned above, the first channel is advantageously used for filling a main product and the second channel for filling the second liquid, which may in particular be pulp. In this case, no costly implementation of a product line to an inner channel through the wall of an outer channel is necessary, whereby the construction is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and low maintenance.

Advantageously, the filling device has two separate liquid lines, which lead the liquids to the said connections of the filling device. Advantageously, at least one of the two fluid lines is formed obliquely, and also its opening cross-section is advantageously extended in at least one area in the direction of the filling device.

In a further advantageous embodiment, a flow measuring device is arranged in at least one of the liquid lines and preferably in exactly one of the liquid lines, which determines the amount of liquid passing through the flow measuring device in two mutually opposite directions of flow. It is therefore proposed in contrast to the prior art that the flow measuring device can determine the flow rate in both directions. In this way, the system can make do with only one flow measuring device, since, for example, by filling the second liquid, the first liquid is forced back by a certain volume and the flow measuring device can detect this repression, thus determining the amount of liquid supplied.

In a further advantageous embodiment, at least one liquid line is designed such that only one of the liquids passes through the flow measuring device in a working mode and independently of the direction of flow. In this way, it is ensured that the flow measuring device is traversed only by a liquid, and in particular the clear liquid, but not by the second liquid, which - as mentioned above - may be pulp. Thus, the corresponding liquid line is preferably designed with respect to its volume so that the filled second liquid under no circumstances can reach back to the flow measuring device.

Further advantages and embodiments will become apparent from the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a system 60 for filling containers. This plant 60 in this case has a container feed 62, which feeds containers along an arrow 64 via a feed star 64 of a rinsing device 66 or a rinser.

The reference numeral 68 refers to an outlet star of the rinsing device 66, which takes over the rinsed containers and passes over a transfer star 70 and a Füllereinlaufstern 72 to a device 1 for filling the drinks. With this device 1 Here two-component drinks are bottled. The reference numerals A to G denote different process steps, which are traversed when bottling the drinks. Thus, in a step A, the container is pressed against a filling device and in a step B, a bias takes place or the container is subjected to a gaseous medium, such as carbon dioxide. In a step C, a clear stuffing of the container with a major product, such as a carbonated beverage. In a step D, a secondary product can be supplied or a secondary product graft can be introduced into the main product. In area E, refilling of the main product takes place. The reference symbol T _E denotes the end of the filling of the container with the beverage.

In a step F, a calming or relieving the bottled beverage can be made and in step G, a removal of the container from the filling device.

The reference numeral 78 refers to an outlet starter of the device 1 and the reference numeral 80 to a closing device to close the containers with closures, wherein the reference numeral 82 refers to a container closure supply means. The reference numeral 84 denotes an outlet star of the capper and the reference numeral 86 a discharge device for transporting away the filled containers.

The reference numeral 76 indicates a blind spot in which no containers are filled or no containers are arranged at corresponding filling stations. In this blind spot between the Füllerauslauf- and -einlaufstern a dosage of the additional product to the main product is possible. Thus, this angle is used for the filling process and in this way the overall performance of the filler can be increased because the dosage does not have to be in the usually available angular range (A to G). This dosage will be described in detail with reference to the other figures. In terms of the method, it is therefore proposed that the metered addition of the further liquid to the first liquid take place in a time-delayed manner to the filling of the container. This serves the in Fig. 1 also shown apparatus for mixing drinks from at least two or more different liquids. These liquids can be, for example, water, syrup and / or flavorings in a predetermined mixing ratio per container volume to be filled. Again, it is advantageous to merge the different liquids in the room, which follows after the division to the individual filling valves. In one aspect of the invention, it is proposed that the bringing together of the different media takes place so close to the filling valve outlet that the metered-in medium is advantageously discharged independently with the subsequent container filling. By doing so, each successive filling can be varied with multiple flavor feeds. In addition, critical products such as pulp can be flushed away from the valve device or the valve cone in this way.

Fig. 2 shows a block diagram-like representation of a device according to the invention 1. In this case, reference numeral 24 refers to a reservoir for the main product. From this reservoir 24, the product passes via a first liquid line 4 to the filling device 2, which is not shown in greater detail in FIG. 2. The reference numeral 6 refers to a flow measuring device which can measure the liquid flow in the direction R1. Preferably, the flow measuring device 6 is an inductive flow meter.

The reference numeral 20 denotes a filling valve to control the filling of the liquid in the container 10.

Via a second liquid line 12, which is fed by an annular channel 7, a secondary product, such as a syrup, here the liquid line 4 and the filling device 2 are supplied.

During the filling process, it would be possible to close the valve 20 and then open the valve 16 for supplying the secondary fluid. This in turn causes the main liquid in the liquid line 4 to be forced back, thus flowing in the area of the flow meter in the flow direction R2.

Since the flow measuring device 6 is suitable for also determining the flows in the direction R2, it can be determined on the basis of these measurements how much liquid was supplied via the line 12. However, the length of this liquid line 4 is preferably dimensioned so that the product, which is located in the conduit 12, is not pressed by the flow meter 6 itself.

The reference numeral 26 refers to a control device which receives the measurement signals of the flow measuring device 6 and, for example, the valve 16, but also the valve 20, controls. In this way, an automated filling of the container can be achieved. The control device may also be installed remotely, the measurement signals being transmitted from the flow measuring device to the control device and the remote control device then controlling the valves.

As mentioned above, when metering in products via the liquid line 12, for example lumpy products, they do not have to be forced through the flow measuring device 6. Otherwise this would affect the accuracy of the measurement. Therefore, the volume of the product line between the flow meter and the actual metering point is to be calculated correspondingly large that only the main product is pressed backwards by the flow meter 6.

It is also possible that the second liquid line (secondary product line) 12 in the direction of the flow measuring device 6 further away from the valve outlet of the filling device 2 in the main product line or the first liquid line 4 forms. In this way, a clear stuffing can be done, d. H. the secondary product is filled as a plug between two parts of the main product. In this case, however, it is advantageously taken into account that the following part of the main product is large enough to contain the secondary product, i. flush the second fluid completely out of the valves.

This clear stuffing has the advantage that when dosing fruit cells or pieces of fruit immediately during the opening of the valve or its valve cone a perfect filling jet is formed. If fruit cells are present on the valve cone during opening, they could interfere with the immediate formation of the filling jet, which could cause the product to splash over uncontrollably.

In Fig. 2 Here, a radial feed of the secondary product via the line 12 is shown. However, it would also be possible that this metered addition of the secondary product takes place in other directions, for example tangentially or otherwise obliquely into the first line 4. In this way, the mixing of main and secondary product in the main line 4 can be improved, whereby the flushing of the secondary product is simplified.

The reference numeral 14 refers to a third liquid line, with the example, via a ring channel 9, a further liquid can be supplied. Again, a valve 18 is provided, which controls the inflow of this product into the filling device 2 or the valve 20.

Reference numeral 11 refers to a channel for a gaseous medium, such as carbon dioxide. This channel 11 is in contact with the reservoir 24 via a connecting line 15 in order to form a gas phase in this reservoir or to load the main product, the filling level of which is designated here by the reference N. Another connecting line 17 connects the channel 11 with the container. In this channel 17 is a return gas channel, which leads the CO ₂ back into the channel 11 during the filling of the containers. The reference numeral 22 refers to a valve, which serves here as a return gas valve and biasing valve.

Reference numeral 21 denotes (electrical) control lines, via which the control device 26 communicates with the individual valves 20, 16, and 18.

Preferably, the secondary medium, which is supplied via the liquid line 12, fed under a higher pressure, as the product in the first liquid line 4. In this way, on the one hand, a repression of the product in the liquid line 4 can be achieved, and on the other hand, two gas offset Liquids are merged in this way. Also for the liquids in the third liquid line 14, a higher pressure can be applied, as for the liquid in the first liquid line 4th

Depending on the product, the metering region or the metering point can be designed in any nozzle shape or even as a diffuser, the mixing being improved after the metering. Furthermore, it would also be possible to meter the syrup or the additional product under CO ₂ pressure in the case of counter-pressure filling, or to meter in the syrup easily "ankarboniert". In this way, a possible CO ₂ unbound by turbulence in the mixing area can be counteracted.

The return gas channel 17 could also be used as a CIP (cleaning in place) return channel. It would be possible to provide a branch from this channel in a CIP return path, for example after the valve block with return gas and / or bias valves. In particular, in the case of more complex filling methods, the valve block (not shown) has a plurality of gas valves for various functions, via which a separation of the return gas channel into a plurality of gas channels in the channel carrier 23 takes place.

Furthermore, it would be possible in an embodiment with multiple metering points on a filling valve to use the filling also to "multi-color filling" in which are filled from filling valve to filling valve different products or a commission-related filling is made or the various products are successively within the same production layer be bottled, with a very fast change from one product to another can take place. To control this known from the prior art filling method, the device according to the invention - as well as applicable for the filling method according to the invention - a filler control device, not shown, such. a PLC on.

Fig. 3 shows a filling device 2 according to an aspect of the invention. This filling device or filling valve in this case has a valve device 20, which in turn has a valve body or valve stem 38. Reference numeral 12 refers to the second liquid line for supplying the secondary product. Via a valve 16, the supply of this secondary product is regulated via a connecting line 44 into a mixing chamber 42. The reference numeral 34 denotes the outlet of the valve 20, from which liquid is passed into the containers. Reference numeral 54 denotes a housing of the filling device. Return gas, for example CO _2, can be removed again via a return gas channel 33. The valve body 38 is movable in the longitudinal direction L and can in this way control the supply of product to the outlet 34 and thus into the container.

For this purpose, the valve has a sealing washer 52, which presses in a closed state of the valve against a housing portion 57 and thus closes the valve. Reference numeral 56 denotes a corresponding poppet.

The reference numeral 46 denotes a supply passage for supplying the main product within the filling device. It can be seen that the channel 46 is adjacent or directly adjacent to the valve region. By the reference numeral 55, the product to be filled is marked.

In the Fig. 3 Filler 2 shown is particularly suitable for mixing and filling of carbonated liquids mixed with syrup, especially in combination with fibrous or lumpy proportions. It is already known from the prior art to pass two liquids from two separate containers into a common mixing space. Usually, a filling system is used to fill liquids with a proportion of fibers or solids, which seals immediately before the filling valve outlet. With this special outlet geometry, there is no product after the filling after the filling so that a gas barrier can be dispensed with. A gas barrier is a component which prevents the escape of liquids from a unilaterally open line by utilizing the surface tension. However, such gas barriers are not suitable for a larger proportion of fruit fibers.

However, it is also used in the context of the invention on this proven system for retention and shutdown. However, an improved or flow-optimized supply line according to the invention takes place to the filling valve outlet 34, which, as mentioned above, is sealed with the cone 56. For each additional medium that is to be mixed, for example via the line 44, a further supply line leads to the common mixing chamber 42, which is designed so that the mixing of the various media from filling to filling is reproducible.

In order to ensure the desired sequence of filling, each supply line has a shut-off device, as here the valve 16. The different metered quantities of the supplied media can be measured by known measuring means, such as a load cell, on which the container to be filled is or by means of a Flow meter (not shown). Preferably, this measuring device is a load cell, in order to offer in this way a measuring instrument for all media.

Furthermore, it is advantageous for one, several or even all media a dosage over a given volume flow and a flow time given. The prerequisite for this is that the liquids are brought together as close as possible to the outlet 34 and designed accordingly.

Fig. 4 shows a further illustration of a device according to the invention, in particular suitable for the filling of liquids with a fruit pieces or fibers containing secondary product. It can be seen here next to the actual filling device 2 and their environment, ie in particular the first supply line 4 and the second supply line 12 for the secondary product. This second supply line 12 is fed from a reservoir 27, which is higher here than the reservoir 24, so that the liquid passes under higher pressure in the filling device 2, as the liquid 53 in the liquid line 4. The reference numeral 51 refers to a Actuating device for actuating the valve body 56 in the longitudinal direction 11, such as a pneumatic drive. The reference numeral 58 again identifies the housing of the filling device 2. The reference numeral 45 refers to a bellows, which is part of the valve 16, so that the valve area can also be flowed around by the liquid. A corresponding bellows 59 is also provided in the filling device 2 and can therefore be lapped by the main product which originates from the feed line 4.

When filling the first to be filled medium, for example, the main product is first filled, by the corresponding valve is switched in the media supply and the others are closed. Subsequently or simultaneously, the filling valve outlet is switched on, or the valve 20 is opened. The filling valve outlet 34 is closed again after reaching the desired subset. However, even with the valve 20 open (cf. Fig. 2 ) the media will be switched if this is non-overlapping happens. As mentioned above, the following medium displaces the subsequent medium so that a reproducible mixing ratio is obtained.

Preferably, each supply line here has a separate shut-off device or valve for the liquid.

Fig. 5 shows a further illustration of a filling device 2 according to the invention and its environment. In this case, the reference numeral 58 again refers to a housing and the reference numeral 51 to a valve drive for driving the valve, which is arranged on the housing 58 via a fastening device 92. The reference numeral 34 again indicates the valve outlet. In the two product lines 4 and 12 here orifices or throttles 94, 96 are arranged. The products are supplied as shown by arrows P3 and P4. The reference numerals 16, 18 each relate to a diaphragm valve, which are each actuated by a drive 97, 99.

Fig. 6 shows a sectional view of in Fig. 5 shown filling device. Here again, a valve cone 56 can be seen, which can be moved in the direction L and can rest against a valve seat 57. Via the first feed line 4, the main product is fed via a feed channel 55 into a mixing space 42. In this mixing chamber 42, the main product can be mixed with a derived from the product line 12 secondary product (preferably with the valve 20 closed). Here, the by-product channel 44 completely surrounds the main product channel 55 in the circumferential direction.

The reference numeral 59 again indicates the bellows, which allows channeling of the channel 55 for the main product. Within this bellows, an actuating rod is guided for actuating the valve. Reference numeral 49 refers to a centering device for the valve cone 56. It can be seen here that the second connection 3 9 for the secondary product (or the second liquid) is arranged lower than the first connection 32 for the main product (or the first liquid ). Furthermore, the channel 44 is adjacent to the valve cone 56 so that it can always be ensured that the container is first filled with the main product and also towards the end again with the main product.

The reference numeral 65 denotes a vent hole and the reference numeral 69 a return spring in order to move the valve plug 56 in the unopened state into its closed position. Thus, the channel 44 in the in Fig. 6 as shown above, surrounds the channel 55. The two leads 4 and 12 each have extension areas 37, which serve for flow-optimized supply of the two products.

By the in Fig. 6 As shown arrangement, crossings of the channels 44 and 55 can be avoided, or the two product channels are intertwined. The mixing chamber 42 is arranged here in the immediate vicinity of the valve body 56 and preferably also the inlets or the two ports 32 and 3 9 are each provided above this mixing region 42.

The two in Fig. 6 shown in-lying product channels (44, 55) are relative to each other and relative to the housing 58 rigid and immovable. The only moving component within the filling device are the components of the valve outlet closure.

All disclosed in the application documents features are claimed as essential to the invention, provided they are new individually or in combination over the prior art.
