Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling element for filling bottles or the like.
  • Filling elements for filling containers are known in different designs. It is also known to provide at the respective filling element a reaching into the container during filling and determining the filling level of the filling material in the container element (hereinafter "filling height determining element"), for example in the form of a rod-shaped probe with at least one electrical probe contact or in the form of a Trinox - or return gas pipe. It is also known to adjust the filling level reached in the containers by axial adjustment of the filling height-determining element, in an axial Einstellhub Symposium. The filling height-determining element is guided through the filling element housing of the filling element and protrudes upwards with a length remote from the lower end at a housing passage region from the filling element housing.
  • the seal is located at a lower, over the discharge opening of the filling element projecting end of the protective space forming pipe section.
  • the level determining element is sealed passed through the seal.
  • the filling height-determining element is moved upwards out of the seal in an opening stroke, so that a fluid connection for a liquid CIP medium into or out of the protective space results through the seal.
  • the disadvantage here is, inter alia, the arrangement of the seal at the bottom, when filling in the respective container reaching into the end of the protective space forming pipe section.
  • the seal for opening the fluid communication between the chamber and the extension in an opening stroke is moved into the chamber.
  • the respective CIP flow path through the filling element is made only by opening a further, for example, electrically or pneumatically actuated and provided on the filling element control valve, which means an increased constructive and control engineering effort.
  • the object of the invention is to show a filling element in which a switching between the filling mode and the CIP mode is possible with a simplified design and with reduced control effort.
  • a filling element according to claim 1 is formed.
  • a filling system is the subject of patent claim 16.
  • the peculiarity of the filling element according to the invention consists, inter alia, in that the valve body provided on the filling height-determining element, for example in the form of a seal or ring seal, forms the sole valve or switching element, with which the filling element merely protrudes axially by moving the filling height-determining element in the opening stroke is switched from the CIP mode to the fill mode in the CIP mode or with an opening opposite stroke from the CIP mode in the fill mode. Additional pneumatic and / or electrical or otherwise actuated valves, which would have to be switched in the transition between the two modes, are not required. This also makes it possible to form the filling element completely without such, channels or flow paths within the Greelementgebliuses switching valves.
  • filling element forms together with a plurality of similar filling elements 1 on the circumference of a vertical machine axis rotating rotor 2 and together with a rotor provided for all filling elements 1 common Golfgutkessel 3, the filling system of a filling machine rotating design for filling bottles 4 with a liquid product.
  • the filling element 1 has for this purpose in a housing 5, inter alia, a liquid channel 6, which is connected in its upper region via a product line 7 with the interior of the Gregutkessels 3 in the region of the vessel bottom and at the bottom of the housing 5 forms an annular discharge opening 8, via when filling the liquid product of the respective, located in sealing position on the filling element 1 bottle 4 flows.
  • a valve body 9 is provided in the flow direction of the filling material in front of the discharge opening 8, which forms a liquid valve 10.
  • the valve body 9 is formed on a coaxial with a vertical Gearelementachse FA arranged valve tube 11 which serves as actuating tappet for opening and closing the liquid valve 10 and is open at both ends, at a lower, on the discharge opening 8 downwardly projecting and filling in the bottle 2 reaching into the end and at an upper, opening into a gas space or in a chamber 12 end.
  • an extension 13 adjoins the top side facing away from the valve tube 11, which is formed circular cylindrical and coaxially with the Greelementachse FA and forms a shelter 13.1 in the filling mode.
  • the filling element 1 serving as a return gas or Trinox tube 14 which is also coaxially arranged with the Greelementachse FA and surrounded by the valve tube 11 at a distance, so between the outer surface of the tube 14 and the inner surface of the Valve tube 11, an annular channel 15 is formed, which opens with its upper end into the chamber 12 and at the lower end of the valve tube 11 is open.
  • the tube 14 projects with its lower end over the lower end of the valve tube 11 and thus also extends through the bottle mouth into the interior of the bottle to be filled.
  • a valve member in the form of a seal 18 is fixedly provided, the piston-like and sealed abuts against the circular cylindrical inner surface of the extension 13 during the filling operation or in the filling mode and thereby the chamber 12 of the above the seal 18 in the extension 13 formed shelter 13.1 separates.
  • the annular channel 19 with an annular channel is designated, which is provided for all filling elements 1 of the filling machine together on the rotor 2 and connected via a formed in the housing 5 channel 20 is constantly connected to the upper end of the extension 13.
  • the annular channel 19 leads in the CIP cleaning and / or CIP disinfection of the filling elements 1 or the filling machine or the filling system, i. in CIP mode, the CIP medium and is therefore also referred to as CIP channel.
  • the annular channel 19 is located in the illustrated embodiment at a horizontal level well below the level of the Gregutkessels 3 and the bottom of this boiler.
  • the upper end of the extension 13 and the shelter 13.1 is located approximately at the level of the bottom of the Gregutkessels 3, but in any case at a horizontal level below the level of Medgutapts in Medgutkessel 3 and below the level of the boiler top.
  • the respective bottle 4 arranged with its bottle axis in the filling element axis FA is in its sealing position with its bottle opening pressed against the filling element 1 or against a dispensing opening 8 enclosing seal a centering tulip 21.
  • the tube 14 is axially adjustable in a Verstellhub (double arrow H1).
  • the axial length of the cylindrical extension 13 is chosen so that over the entire adjustment range of Verstellhubes the seal 18 moves within the extension 13, the separation between the chamber 12 and the shelter 13.1 is thus preserved.
  • the height adjustment of the tube 14 takes place, for example, for all filling elements via a common adjusting device 23.
  • a negative pressure filling in which the gas chamber 3.2 is subjected to a negative pressure, for example, less than or equal to 1000 millibar and in which the liquid valve 10 is opened by an example pneumatic actuator 22. Since the bottle 4 is in sealing position on the filling element 1, a negative pressure is established in the bottle 4 and in the filling element. The filling then flows along the inner surface of the wall in the bottle 4, wherein the displaced from the contents of the interior of the bottle 4 return gas is returned via the pipe 14 into the gas space 3.2. The filling of the bottle 4 is automatically terminated when the rising in the bottle 4 Medgutapt exceeds the lower open end of the tube 14. Before lowering the filled bottle 4, the liquid valve 10 closes and excess contents are sucked out of the bottle 4 via the pipe 14 into the product vessel 3. The respective level can be adjusted by axial adjustment of the tube 14.
  • a flushing bell 24 is placed on each filling element, which forms an outwardly closed space into which the discharge opening 8, the annular channel 15 and the pipe 14 open. Furthermore, for the CIP cleaning the respective tube 14 in an opening stroke H2 moves down so far that then the seal 18 is in the chamber 12, which has a larger compared to the outer diameter of the seal 18 diameter, so that a connection between the chamber 12 and the extension 13 is made.
  • the product vessel 3 is filled with the respective liquid medium for the CIP cleaning.

  • the annular channel 26 is connected, for example, to the gas space 3.2 of the product container 3, so that in particular when filling the contents displaced from the respective bottle 4 from the contents with closed control valves 25.1, 25.3 and 25.4 and open control valve 25.2 in the annular channel 26 or via the pipe 14th with open control valve 16a flows into the gas space 3.2.
  • the Soll sleeplliere in the respective, overfilled at the end of the filling or the filling phase bottle 4 is set, for example, that with closed control valves 25.2 - 25.4, the control valve 25.1 is opened to open the connection between the chamber 12 and the annular channel 19, during filling a Trinox or inert gas under pressure, for example, a CO2 gas or nitrogen under pressure, so that when open control valve 16a by the chamber 12 and the annular channel 15 in the head space of the sealing layer on the respective Einzel spallelement 1a.1 and 1a.2 initiated Trinox gas excess filling material is pushed back as long as the tube 14 serving as Trinox tube in the Gregutkessel 3 until the lower end of this tube 14 emerged from the Medgutapt and thus the Soll circullliere is reached.

  • the Mehrtach spallelement 1 b differs from the Mehrfach pneullelement 1a only in that instead of the common control valve 16a, a check valve assembly 28 is provided with two check valves 28.1 and 28.2, via which the tubes 14 are each connected to the common flexible line 17.
  • the check valves 28.1 and 28.2 are basically designed so that they open for a fluid flow from the relevant pipe 14 in the flexible conduit 17 and lock for a fluid flow in the opposite direction.
  • check valves 28.1 and 28.2 in the illustrated embodiment are designed so that their valve bodies are slightly weighted and / or spring loaded so that check valves 28.1 and 28.2 prevent a return gas flow from the respective bottle 2 via pipe 14 during filling, rather than the return gas exclusively via the annular channel 15 and the example open control valve 25.2 flows into the annular channel 26.
