Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for filling or emptying a container with a particular intended for consumption liquid according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a liquid-tight and gas-tight, balloon-like body For filling a container, in particular a bottle, with a liquid intended for consumption, in particular a beverage, a liquid-tight and gas-tight, balloon-like body can be used in relation to the liquid.
- This balloon-like body encloses a rod, which is arranged on a holder.
- the basic principle for filling the container is that the balloon-like body is first introduced into the container together with the rod. The balloon-like body is then inflated with air until it rests against the inner surface of the container. Thus, by the fully inflated balloon-like body completely fills the interior of the container, no air is in the container. Subsequently, the air is removed again from the balloon-like body. This creates between the balloon-like body and the inner surface of the container a gradually increasing space, which is filled with the liquid.
- a liquid-tight and gas-tight, balloon-like body For emptying a container, in particular a bottle, which is filled with a liquid intended for consumption, in particular beverage and in particular sparkling wine in bottle fermentation, a liquid-tight and gas-tight, balloon-like body can be used.
- This balloon-like body encloses a rod, which is arranged on a holder.
- the basic principle for emptying the container is that the balloon-like body is first introduced into the container together with the rod. The balloon-like body is then inflated with air, so that the gradually increasing volume of the balloon-like body pushes the liquid out of the container until the balloon-like body rests against the inner surface of the container. Finally, when the fully inflated balloon-like body completely fills the interior of the container, all the liquid in the container has been conveyed out.
- the invention is therefore based on the invention to provide a device for filling or emptying a container with a particular intended for consumption liquid, which can also be used in containers whose floors are of different heights.
- a device for filling or emptying a container is provided with a particular intended for consumption liquid, which can also be used reliably when the trays have different heights in the containers to be filled, so that according to the distance between the opening of the container and the bottom of the container varies.
- the essence of the invention consists in the fact that the projecting into the interior of the container rod does not have a predetermined, constant length, but that the length of the rod is variable, so that the system can independently adjust to different heights.
- the automatic variability of the length of the rod thus has the advantage that trouble-free filling or emptying of containers is possible in a very safe and technically simple manner.
- the rod is formed telescopic.
- the rod is designed in several parts, the rod elements telescopically pulled apart and - vice versa - can be moved together. Due to the telescopability, the length of the rod can be changed very easily or the length of the rod changes independently during use.
- the telescoping is to be understood in the most general sense. In a first embodiment of the telescoping a sleeve is pushed according to the embodiment in claim 3 to the lower end of the rod. This sleeve thus defines the lower end of the rod. By moving the sleeve on the actual rod whose length changes.
- the lower end of the rod is tubular, wherein a rod is guided in the interior of this lower pipe section.
- the rod protrudes from the lower end of the rod.
- the rod at the lower end may have a corresponding impact body.
- the rod can be guided longitudinally displaceable in its holder.
- this bar is guided longitudinally movable in the holder, thereby the distance between the holder and the lower end of the rod can be changed. For example, if the distance to be reduced, the rod is pulled out of the holder. Conversely, as the distance increases, the rod is moved in the reverse direction.
- the development according to claim 6 proposes that the lower end of the balloon-like body is attached to the lower end of the rod.
- the elements of the rod are freely movable with a possible telescopability (that is, for example, without an additional spring force).
- the rod has a constant length, it is also freely longitudinally movably guided in the upper holder without, for example, the action of a spring force.
- the basic idea is that by fixing the lower end of the balloon-like body at the lower end of the rod when inflating the balloon-like body automatically acts a force in the longitudinal direction of the rod, which extends it telescopically so long or - in the longitudinally displaceable storage in the Holder - move deeper into the container until the bottom of the rod hits the bottom of the container.
- Fig. 1 a is a schematic sectional view through a container in
- Figure 1 b is a view corresponding to that in Figure 1 a after complete inflation of the balloon-like body ..;
- Fig. 1 c is a representation corresponding to that in Fig. 1 b, but with
- FIGS. 2a and 2b show a representation corresponding to that in Figure 1 b and 1 c with lower and higher ground in a second embodiment of the filling or emptying system.
- 3a and 3b show a representation corresponding to that in Fig. 1 b and 1 c with lower and higher ground in a third embodiment of the filling or emptying system.
- a container 1 in the form of a bottle has a lower bottom 2 and an upper opening 3.
- the bottom 2 is curved upwards.
- This container 1 should be filled with a liquid, namely a drink. Alternatively, there is already a liquid in the container 1, which is to be emptied from the container 1.
- a filling device For filling the container 1, a filling device is provided. This consists initially of an upper bracket 4, which is placed on the opening 3 of the container 1. At this holder 4, a rod 5 is arranged, which projects downwards. Finally, a balloon-like body 6 is provided, which is pulled over the rod 5 and is also fixed with its upper end to the holder 4 and is secured at its lower end to the lower end of the rod 5.
- the mode of operation for filling the container 1 is as follows:
- the balloon-like Body 6 filled with air and inflated accordingly.
- the supply of air can be done via the - then tubular - rod 5 via corresponding openings or on the holder 4.
- the situation before the complete inflation of the balloon-like body 6 is shown in Fig. 1 a.
- Fig. 1c shows the situation of a container 1, the bottom 2 is higher than the bottom 2 in the embodiment of Figs. 1a and 1b. This means that in this case of the higher bottom 2, the sleeve 7 is not moved so far along the rod 5 down as in the above-described embodiments. The sleeve 7 thus defines a length compensation between the upper opening 3 and the lower bottom 2 of the container 1 with respect to the length of the rod fifth
- the sleeve 7 is moved on its rod 5 due to the inflation movement of the balloon-like body 6. But it is also conceivable that between the rod 5 and the sleeve 7 a - not shown - spring is arranged, which moves the sleeve 7 in the maximum extendable position. This position defines the maximum length of the bar system.
- the lower end of the sleeve 7 comes in any case on the floor 2 to the plant. Contrary to the spring force while the sleeve 7 moves back again until the holder 4 comes to rest on the opening 3 of the container 1 properly. How far the sleeve 7 is moved back against the spring force depends on the height of the bottom 2. In the embodiment of Fig. 1b with the relatively low bottom 2, the return movement of the sleeve 7 is less than in the embodiment in Fig. 1c, in which the bottom 2 is higher and thus the sleeve 7 is pushed back more.
- the situation for emptying the container 1 is as follows:
- the container 1 In the container 1 is a liquid. This should be transported from the container 1.
- the balloon-like body 6 is inserted with its rod 5 and inflated with air.
- the supply of air can be done via the - then tubular - rod 5 via corresponding openings or on the holder 4.
- the liquid contained in the container 1 is pushed out of the upper opening 3 of the container 1 via corresponding outlets in the holder 4.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b The second embodiment of the filling and emptying device is shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b.
- the basic principle is the same as in the first embodiment in Figs. 1 a to 1 c, except that instead of the sleeve 7, a small rod 8 is provided, which is guided in the lower tubular end of the rod 5.
- This rod 8 can also be guided freely in the rod 5, or between the rod 5 and the rod 8, a spring is arranged, which moves the rod 8 due to the spring force maximum.
- the basic mode of operation corresponds to the mode of operation of the first embodiment of FIGS. 1a to 1c.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b A third embodiment is shown in Figs. 3a and 3b.
- the rod 5 has a constant length and is not extendable by a sleeve as in the embodiment of Figs. 1a to 1d or by a rod 8 as in the embodiment of Figs. 2a and 2b. Rather, the upper end of the rod 5 is slidably mounted in the holder 4. This can be done - again - either by the balloon 5, the bar 5 is moved downwards until it hits the bottom 2 of the container 1, or between the holder 4 and the rod 5, a spring device is arranged, which moves in the initial position, the rod 5 at most down until it hits the bottom 2 of the container 1 and thereby moved back.
- this operation corresponds to the basic principle of the functioning, as they have been described in connection with the embodiments of FIGS. 1a to 1c and 2a and 2b.
- FIG. 3a shows the situation with a lower bottom 2
- Fig. 3b shows the situation with a higher floor 2, in which the rod 5 is not retracted so deep into the container 1, as he previously pushes on the higher floor 2 ,
- the lower end of the balloon-like body 6 is fixed to the lower end of the rod 5. As a result, there is no risk that the rod 5 can pierce the balloon-like body 6. Because this case could quite well occur in a loose arrangement of the balloon-like body 6 on the rod 5. In the invention, however, is extended by the attachment of the balloon-like body 6 at the lower end of the rod 5 by the inflation of the balloon-like body 6 of this rod 5 controlled.
