Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling nozzle for liquid or pasty filling material according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a metering device with a filling nozzle according to the invention and the use of a filling nozzle according to the invention.
  • a filling nozzle is from the post-published WO 2015/043854 A1 known.
  • the US 5,909,846 shows a filling nozzle having a filling plate with filling channels, wherein the cross section of the filling channels changes viewed in the longitudinal or flow direction of the filling channels.
  • FIGS. 8a to 8d of the cited document show cross-sections of the filling channels which either steadily decrease in the longitudinal direction of the filling channels or else initially decrease and subsequently expand again to the original cross-sectional area.
  • Such a geometric design of the filling channels should reduce the dripping of filling material from the filling nozzles.
  • filling nozzles with filling channels are known, wherein at least one of the filling channels has a non-circular cross-section.
  • Such a design of filling channels makes it possible in particular, based on an overall cross-section of the filling nozzle, to reduce the area of the separating webs arranged between the filling channels. As a result, the filling capacity, based on the total cross section of the filling nozzle, increased.
  • the known filling nozzle has an approximately block-shaped housing in which two filling channels are formed for each container to be filled, each having a round cross-sectional area.
  • a cylindrical valve element is inserted, which stops or releases the passage of the filling material through the filling channel.
  • the effect is exploited that with sufficiently small cross-sectional area of the filling channel by the adhesion forces dripping or leakage of the filling material from the outlet of the filling channel can be avoided, the dimensioning of the cross-sectional area always depends on the viscosity or the product properties of the medium ,
  • filling nozzles are known from the prior art, which have a plurality of filling channels for a container, each having a circular cross-sectional areas, in order to achieve the highest possible filling capacity while preventing the aforementioned dripping of the filling material.
  • the disadvantage here is that despite the use of multiple filling channels for filling a container of the available filling of the container available total cross section of the cross-sectional areas, based on the total cross section of the filling nozzle, is relatively low, since the arranged between the cross-sectional areas dividers of the filling nozzle a relatively large ( Cross-sectional area) have.
  • the largest possible cross-sectional area of the filling nozzle for filling a container is desirable, for example, to avoid foaming, splashing or the like at a given filling capacity, and thus to allow a smooth filling of the container.
  • the filling nozzle for liquid or pasty filling with the features of claim 1 has with respect to US 5,909,846 the advantage that an alternative cross-sectional shape of the filling channels is provided viewed over the axial direction, at the same time a simpler manufacturability (erosion) and a good cleanability of the filling channels is made possible because the non-circular cross-sectional areas have rounded corner areas.
  • the invention uses the already known from the above-mentioned prior art embodiment of the filling channels, according to which at least one of the filling channels to minimize the total cross-sectional area of the separating webs in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the housing has a cross-sectional area which is formed out of round.
  • the available cross-section of the filling nozzle is filled as completely as possible with the cross-sectional areas of the filling channels in order to minimize the cross-sectional area of the separating webs separating the filling channels.
  • the partial region of the filling nozzle in which the filling channels are formed have a round outer contour, in whose longitudinal axis a first filling channel having a round cross-sectional area is formed, at uniform angular intervals a plurality of, preferably in each case the same non-circular cross-sectional areas having second Grekanäle are arranged.
  • the cross-sectional areas of the second filling channels are each formed approximately triangular.
  • the triangular shape has the advantage that, in particular in the case of round or oval filling nozzles (based on the external shape of the filling nozzle), a relatively simple adaptation of the Cross-sectional areas to achieve a total of the largest possible filling cross section is made possible.
  • the partial region in which the filling channels are formed has an outer contour adapted to the inner cross section of the container to be filled, in particular at least substantially rectangular, and that the filling channels are at least substantially all rectangular in cross section and the same rectangular Have cross-sectional areas.
  • the size of the cross-sectional areas is adapted to the requirements mentioned above with regard to the prevention of dripping of the filling material from the filling channels or optimized in this regard.
  • cross-sectional areas are each about the same size.
  • the invention also includes a metering device using a filling nozzle according to the invention and the use of a filling nozzle according to the invention for metering beverages or pasty contents such as yogurt, mustard or similar foods.
  • first filling nozzle 10 is part of a metering device, not shown in the figures for liquid or pasty filling material.
  • a liquid or pasty filling material is understood as meaning a liquid such as lemonade, milk or a food such as mustard, ketchup, yoghurt (optionally with solid constituents) or the like.
  • at least one filling nozzle 10 is used for filling a container, also not shown in the figures, which has, for example, a round or rectangular inner cross section.
  • the filling nozzle 10 has a substantially cylindrically shaped, consisting of metal, in particular stainless steel housing 11, which has a connection flange 12 on the side facing the metering device, via which the connection flange 12 and the housing 11 with the metering device by means of connecting elements (screws). can be connected.
  • the housing 11 has a concentric with a longitudinal axis 14 formed first recess 15, within which an unillustrated valve member is disposed longitudinally movable. Within the recess 15, this has different cross-sectional or diameter ranges, which are formed by a corresponding geometric configuration of the inner wall 16 of the recess 15.
  • a plurality of filling channels 18, 19 extend, which extend parallel to the longitudinal axis 14, and which extend over a portion 21 of the length of the housing 11, wherein illustrated embodiment, the length of the portion 21 is about 30% of the total length of the housing 11 in the longitudinal direction.
  • the filling nozzle 10 has a round outer contour 22.
  • the cross-sectional areas 23, 24 of the filling channels 18, 19 have different shapes in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the filling nozzle 10 has a centrally or concentrically to the longitudinal axis 14 formed first filling channel 18, whose cross-sectional area 23 is circular or round.
  • the filling nozzle 10 has a centrally or concentrically to the longitudinal axis 14 formed first filling channel 18, whose cross-sectional area 23 is circular or round.
  • eight, respectively identically formed filling channels 19 with approximately triangular cross-sectional areas 24 are arranged by way of example.
  • the size of the cross-sectional areas 23, 24 is in each case at least approximately the same size, such that dripping of filling material from the filling nozzle 10 due to adhesion forces is avoided.
  • the arrangement of the approximately triangular filling channels 19 in cross-section is such that a base leg 26 of the cross-sectional surface 24 is arranged on an outer pitch diameter of the cross section of the filling nozzle 10, wherein side legs 27, 28 extending from the base leg 26 are aimed approximately at the longitudinal axis 14 are aligned to this. Between the base leg 26 and the two side legs 27, 28 and between the two side legs 27, 28, the cross-sectional area 24 has in each case rounded corner regions 29.

  • the formation of at least the non-round filling channels 19 takes place, for example, and not by way of limitation, by an erosion process.
  • the cross-sectional area 23, 24 of the filling channels 18, 19 viewed in the longitudinal direction of the filling nozzle 10 is approximately constant in each case, ie. cylindrical.
