Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling unit of a filling machine, designed for filling containers with a product, for example a carbonated liquid.
  • the present disclosure relates to a filling unit with analysis and storing capability for improved quality monitoring and data analysis with respect to the filling operations being performed.
  • a system comprising a feed line for feeding a succession of empty bottles to a filling machine, in turn comprising a filling rotating wheel (so called "carousel"), carrying a number of filling units.
  • the filling units are mounted to rotate continuously about a longitudinal axis, engage the empty bottles, feed pressurized gas into the bottles, fill the bottles with the product, decompress the filled bottles, and then feed the bottles to a capping machine, which is connected to the filling machine by at least one transfer wheel and closes the bottles with respective caps.
  • the aim of the present invention is consequently to solve, at least in part, the problem previously highlighted, and in general to provide an improved solution for a filling unit in a filling machine, particularly with respect to control and monitoring of its operation.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a machine, denoted as a whole with 1, for filling liquid into containers 2, for example glass bottles or aluminum cans.
  • Filling machine 1 comprises a conveying device, including a carousel 4, which is mounted to rotate continuously (anticlockwise in Figure 1 ) about a substantially vertical longitudinal axis A.
  • the carousel 4 receives a succession of empty containers 2 from an input wheel 5, which is coupled to carousel 4 at a first transfer station 6 and is mounted to rotate continuously about a respective vertical longitudinal axis B, parallel to axis A.
  • the carousel 4 releases a succession of filled containers 2 to an output wheel 8, which is coupled to carousel 4 at a second transfer station 9 and is mounted to rotate continuously about a respective vertical longitudinal axis C, parallel to axes A and B.
  • Filling machine 1 comprises a number of filling units 10, which are equally spaced about axis A, are mounted along a peripheral edge of carousel 4, and are moved by the same carousel 4 along a path P extending about axis A and through transfer stations 6 and 9.
  • Each filling unit 10 is designed to receive at least one container 2 to be filled, and to perform, during its rotation along path P, a number of filling operations according to a filling "recipe", in order to fill the container 2 with a fluid (e.g. a carbonated liquid).
  • a fluid e.g. a carbonated liquid
  • the filling unit 10 is configured to engage the container 2, at an opening of a neck 2' thereof, and includes one or more fluidic conduits, which are designed to selectively couple the container 2 to one or more feed devices.
  • a filling unit 10 which includes: a first fluidic conduit 11a, coupled to a first feed device 12a, designed to supply the liquid that is to fill the container 2, such as beer, from a first feed tank (not shown); a second fluidic conduit 11b, coupled to a second feed device 12b, designed to supply a gas, such as carbon dioxide, from a second feed tank (not shown); and a third fluidic conduit 11c, coupled to an air-suction device 12c (e.g. including a vacuum pump), providing a suction action to extract gases from the bottle during a vacuum phase.
  • an air-suction device 12c e.g. including a vacuum pump
  • Each filling unit 10 also comprises at least one flow regulator device 14, designed to define one or more filling passages 15 (only one of which is schematically shown in Figure 2 ) communicating with the opening at the neck 2' of the container 2, and including a valve group 16, coupled to the above first, second and third fluidic conduits 11a, 11b, 11c, and operable to selectively couple one or more of the same first, second and third fluidic conduits 11a, 11b, 11c (and thus the first feed device 12a, the second feed device 12b and/or the air-suction device 12c) with the one or more filling passages 15, during filling of the container 2.
  • a flow regulator device 14 designed to define one or more filling passages 15 (only one of which is schematically shown in Figure 2 ) communicating with the opening at the neck 2' of the container 2, and including a valve group 16, coupled to the above first, second and third fluidic conduits 11a, 11b, 11c, and operable to selectively couple one or more of the same first, second and third fluidic conduits
  • sensor element 17 includes a pressure sensor, which is configured to monitor the pressure (or vacuum condition) within the container 2 during each step of the filling recipe; the presence of the sensor element 17 allows to collect relevant diagnostic information for the analysis and monitoring of the filling operations, and also to perform control actions and adjustments in real time during the same filling operations.
  • sensor element 17 allows to perform a number of operations, among which:
  • sensor element 17 proves useful also in different operating conditions of the filling machine 1, e.g. during a cleaning/sterilization operation, when dummy containers (e.g. dummy bottles) are placed in the filling machine 1 and a cleaning fluid is introduced.
  • dummy containers e.g. dummy bottles
  • Monitoring pressure values at the flow regulator devices 14 allows in this case to check the correct passage of the cleaning fluid through the flow regulator devices 14 into the dummy bottles (and this is particularly useful in case no flow-meters are present at the openings of the containers 2).
  • the sensor element 17 arranged in at least one of the filling units 10 further includes a temperature sensor, which may for example be integrated with the pressure sensor, in order to detect the temperature of the filling fluid during filling operations, and/or of the cleaning fluid during cleaning operations.
  • a temperature sensor which may for example be integrated with the pressure sensor, in order to detect the temperature of the filling fluid during filling operations, and/or of the cleaning fluid during cleaning operations.
  • monitoring of the temperature values within the containers 2 allows to perform controls and adjustments in real time during execution of the operations of the filling machine 1, e.g. during filling or recirculation of the filling fluid, or during cleaning/sanitizing of the flow regulator devices 14, in general providing important diagnostic information to be used in real time or at a later stage (during a post-processing stage) to control the filling machine 1.
  • a disclosure of a filling unit 10 of the filling machine 1 will now be discussed with reference to Figures 3 to 5 .
  • filling unit 10 includes a main body 20, having a vertical extension along a longitudinal axis D, that is substantially parallel to axis A of carousel 4.
  • the main body 20 has a bottom part 20a, which ends at a flange 22, that is mechanically coupled to the periphery of the carousel 4, and an upper part 20b, which is coupled to the first fluidic conduit 11a, in order to receive the filling liquid from the first feed device 12a (here not shown).
  • the bottom part 20a of the main body 20 defines a container receiving part 24 of the filling unit 10, coupled to the flange 22 and designed to receive the neck 2' of the container 2 that is to be filled.
  • the main body 20 internally defines filling passage 15 (not shown in Figures 3-5 ), from the first fluidic conduit 11a to the opening of the container 2, at the container receiving part 24, which selectively allows the passage of the filling fluid towards the container 2, during preset steps of the filling recipe.
  • Suitable actuatable elements such as a valve or shutter element (here not shown), are provided within the main body 20, cooperating with the filling passage 15 in order to modify the section of passage to the fluid, e.g. between a fully open, a partially open, or a closed condition, according to the different requirements envisaged by the filling operations.
  • the second fluidic conduit 11b of the filling unit 10 is coupled to the container receiving part 24, below flange 22, and allows to receive gas, such as carbon dioxide, from the second feed device 12b (here not shown).
  • the flow regulator device 14 of the filling unit 10 includes a housing 26, which has a vertical extension substantially parallel to longitudinal axis D, and is mechanically coupled to main body 20.
  • housing 26 of the flow regulator device 14 suitable actuator elements are provided, which are configured to cooperate with the actuatable elements within the body 20, in order to fully open, partially open, or close the filling passage 15.
  • the flow regulator device 14 carries, at a bottom part 14a thereof, the third fluidic conduit 11c (operating as a decompression channel), having one end coupled to the air-suction device 12c, and the other end fitted into the opening of the container 2, through flange 22.
  • the sensor element 17 (of a known type, here not discussed in detail) is mounted to the flow regulator device 14, so as to continuously monitor the pressure within the internal environment of the container 2.
  • the sensor element 17 may be coupled to the third fluidic conduit 11c.
  • the sensor element 17 includes a sensing part 17a, housing a suitable sensing arrangement (of a known type), and an input port 17b, coupled to the third fluidic conduit 11c, and allowing fluidic connection between the sensing part 17a and the same third fluidic conduit 11c.
  • the sensor element 17 has an end part 17c, coupled to, and extending towards the outside of, the housing 26, carrying suitable electrical connection elements (e.g. in the form of electrical contacts or pads), in order to output the transduced electrical quantity (e.g. a capacitive or resistive variation), indicative of the sensed pressure.
  • the housing 26 of the flow regulator device 14 carries, at an outer surface thereof, a wiring element 28, electrically coupled to end part 17c, and extending along the longitudinal axis toward a top part 14b of the same flow regulator device 14.
  • the top part 14b may be releasably coupled to the housing 26, via a suitable mechanical connection, and may house an electronic board of a control module 30 of the filling unit 10 (here schematically shown), integrating suitable electronic circuitry (as discussed in more details below); the wiring element 28 in this case ends at the control module 30, being electrically connected thereto.
  • a further aspect which will now be discussed in connection with Figure 6 , envisages the filling unit 10 having both electronic intelligence and storage capacity, integrated in suitable electronic circuitry of the control module 30. It is to be noted that some (at least one), or all, of the filling units 10 of the filling machine 1 may be made as it will now be discussed.
  • control module 30 includes:
  • computing unit 32 may store in storage memory 34 pressure and temperature operating data relating to the filling operations in real time, i.e. during execution of the same operations; to this end, signals from the sensor element 17 may be sampled with a desired sampling frequency and processed to generate the operating data to be stored.
  • the stored pressure and temperature operating data may be transferred to the external environment via the communication interface module 38, again in real time, during execution of the filling operations, or after the filling recipe has been completed, for processing and analysis, e.g. by central computing unit, again in real time or as post-processing operations.
  • Figure 7 shows an exemplary result of the processing of the stored operating data, i.e. a plot of the pressure values sensed during the various steps of the filling recipe.
  • the plot shows the succession in time of: a first air-extraction operation (denoted with S 1 ); a first pressurization operation (denoted with S 2 ); a second air-extraction operation (denoted with S 3 ); a second pressurization operation (denoted with S 4 ); the filling operation at a substantially constant pressure (denoted with S 5 ); and a final depressurization operation (denoted with S 6 ).
  • This plot may be displayed on a user panel at the filling machine 1, or at a remote location from the filling machine, e.g. at a supervisory facility.
  • Computing unit 32 may also be configured (e.g. via suitable software and program instructions) to process in real time the operating data, in order e.g. to detect a fault in the filling unit 10, or a serious failure event, such as bursting of the container 2 being filled.
  • An alarm signal may thus be promptly generated and suitable corrective actions performed, such as stopping of the filling machine 1.
  • the intelligence on-board the filling unit 10 allows to more reliably and promptly identify any problem or anomaly occurring in the filling machine 1, so as to achieve a desired quality control of the operations performed.
  • control modules 30 of a number of filling units 10 in the filling machine 1 communicate with a central control unit 40 of the same filling machine 1 over a communication bus 42.
  • central control unit 40 includes an industrial programmable controller (PLC), and communication bus 42 is a digital communication bus (e.g. a CAN bus), transferring digital information, signals and commands.
  • PLC industrial programmable controller
  • communication bus 42 is a digital communication bus (e.g. a CAN bus), transferring digital information, signals and commands.
  • control modules 30 communicate with the communication bus 42, and thereby with the central control unit 40, via the respective communication interface modules 38 coupled to the respective computing unit 32.
  • the central control unit 40 is coupled to the communication bus 42 and may also be coupled with a supervisor unit 45, e.g. located remotely with respect to the filling machine 1, via a remote wireless link 46.
  • a supervisor unit 45 e.g. located remotely with respect to the filling machine 1, via a remote wireless link 46.
  • the central control unit 40 is thus able to receive operating data from the various filling units 10, in real time during execution of the filling recipe, and/or after the same filling recipe has been completed, reading the operating data stored in the respective storage memories 34.
  • the communication bus 42 also allows the central control unit 40 to transmit to the various control modules 30 data relating to the operating condition of the filling machine 1 and data regarding the operations to be performed, in order to assist execution of the filling recipe; for example, these data may include pressure values in the feed tanks, relating to the pressure of the filling fluid and/or gas within the same feed tanks (these data may be used by the slave units to control the filling operations and diagnose possible faults and anomalies).
  • the central control unit 40 is also provided with suitable software and program instructions in order to process the received operating data, either in real time or as post-processing operations, in order to determine the occurrence of faults, the correctness of the filling operations, the need of performing adjustments, etc.
  • the central control unit 40 may be able to execute further plots of the received operating data, such as sensed pressure values, possibly with different time scales and number of samples involved.
  • Figure 9 shows an exemplary plot executed by the central control unit 40, which may be displayed on a related display and/or sent wirelessly to the supervisor unit 45.
  • the shown plot relates to a filling step of the recipe, at a substantially constant pressure.
  • the provision of sensor elements 17 integrated in the filling units 10 allows to collect operating data relating to the performance of the individual filling units 10, during the filling operations, thus allowing to closely monitor the performance of the filling machine 1.
  • the provision of processing and/or storage capability in the filling units 10 allows to simplify transmission and post-processing of the operating data that are collected during the filling operations.
  • only a portion of the collected data may be transmitted to the central control unit 40 of the filling machine 1, e.g. only data that are considered relevant for the quality checks, thus saving storage capacity.
  • each intelligent filling unit 10 may be configured to control filling of more than one container (e.g. having a corresponding number of flow regulator devices 14 and filling means).
