Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling device according to the preamble of claim 1 for filling containers and in particular for filling containers with multi-component drinks.
  • Such filling devices are known from the prior art (eg from the EP 0 775 668 A1 ) and serve, 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.
  • 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.
  • a filling valve 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a flow meter is arranged in the liquid channel of each filling element.
  • a filling device 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, the first port and the second port being separated from one another separated and preferably also spaced from each other.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • the device has a return element, which urges the actuating element and thus also the valve body in a closed position of the valve.
  • the said valve body is part of a valve which controls the outflow from the filling device.
  • 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.
  • the second fluid channel surrounds the first fluid channel at least in sections.
  • the first liquid channel completely surrounds the second liquid channel in the circumferential direction at least in a region of the longitudinal direction.
  • the second liquid channel may be formed annularly around the first liquid channel.
  • the two nested liquid channels are rigid, i. immovable relative to each other and relative to the Greeps.
  • 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.
  • the second connection is arranged closer to the mixing chamber than the first connection.
  • the second port serves to feed the pulp.
  • this second port serves to supply a clear liquid, such as, for example, a carbonated liquid.
  • the first liquid channel can extend obliquely at least in sections.
  • an optimized flow profile can be achieved in both fluids until they exit the discharge opening.
  • the first and the second liquid channel are formed in sections parallel to each other and in particular concentric with each other.
  • first liquid channel and the second liquid channel are arranged in a common housing.
  • 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.

  • the supply of the first liquid d. H.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • the connection leading to the outer or the second channel is lower than the connection leading to the inner channel or first channel.
  • 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.
  • the filling device has two separate liquid lines, which lead the liquids to the said connections of the filling device.
  • 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.
  • 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 quantity 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.
  • At least one liquid line of the type is formed, that in a working operation and regardless of the flow direction, only one of the liquids passes through the flow measuring device.
  • 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.
  • 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.
