  • containers must be filled with liquids or gases.
  • a typical field of application in this respect are motor vehicles, for which a filling of housings, circuits, expansion tanks and the like with power, lubricants, coolants and other operating materials is necessary.
  • the initial filling of the assemblies is preferably carried out with filling systems that operate on the principle of the so-called.
  • Vacuum-pressure-filling and, for example DE 28 48 434 A1 are known.
  • the vehicle system is first evacuated and then filled until a measurable back pressure is established in the vehicle container to be filled in each case.
  • the suction of the container to the concrete desired level which is determined by the sleeve length on the adapter.
  • the object of the present invention to propose a device for the automatic realization of different levels in different containers, the solution should be associated only at low cost and the filling adapter should be small and light. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to propose an executable on a system for vacuum-pressure filling process for filling containers with different fill levels.
  • the publication DE 30 39 435 shows a generic filling and removal device.
  • the Be Schombolladapter having a first cylinder chamber and a second cylinder chamber on axially opposite sides of a piston, wherein the first cylinder chamber is connected to a pressurized gas and the second cylinder chamber is also acted upon either with a compressed gas or with a spring force in that the piston can be fixed by different pressures and / or forces in the first and second cylinder chambers and fixed in position by equal pressures and / or forces in the first and second cylinder chambers, so that an orifice of the pipe can be positioned in several axial pipe positions between two end positions. where the filling and / or the suction and. this can be done adjusting a liquid level.
  • the filling adapter according to the invention is designed for the automatic realization of different filling levels. It is hardly larger and heavier than conventional filling adapters, it has a stepless or multi-stage adjustability in different axial tube positions of the tube, on which a filling and / or an extraction of the container can take place, but an extended functionality. This functionality is achieved by only minor modifications to a conventional filling adapter and achieved by using fewer additional standard components, so that the proposed solution is also cost-effective. Due to the adjustability is not only an adaptation to different containers possible, but also an optimization or readjustment of the level of the same container type.
  • the container of the filling adapter is part of a system for vacuum pressure filling, which also includes a control unit.
  • Components of the system outside of the filling adapter which are connected to the liquid connection, the suction connection and the at least one compressed gas connection, are known to the person skilled in the art and can be configured on the basis of his specialist knowledge. A description of these system components would distract from the description of the invention and therefore will be made only in the following.
  • the filling adapter according to the invention can have a first and a second compressed gas connection, which are respectively connected to the first and the second cylinder chamber.
  • Each of the two compressed gas connections is operatively connected to a proportional valve.
  • compressed gas also for alternative embodiments of the pneumatically releasable movement of the piston compressed air is preferably used.
  • only one compressed gas connection is in operative connection with a proportional valve and that the other side is acted upon by a fixed pressure, which is preferably triggered by a pressure regulator.
  • assemblies are arranged for pneumatic control of the piston outside of the filling adapter, particularly compact dimensions can be realized.
  • a variable pressure in a cylinder chamber is also set here via the valve.
  • a constant pressure functionally the same spring force.
  • a metallic coil spring or an elastomeric spring can be used, which moves the piston in the absence of a pneumatic counterforce in the rest position. Since different pressures for piston movement are required here as well, a pressure deviating from the spring force is realized with the proportional valve if the piston is to be moved. If, however, a positional fixation of the piston is to be realized, a proportional to the spring force similar pressure is generated with the proportional valve.
  • the piston can be moved along its longitudinal axis, so that a mouth of the tube can be positioned at several axial tube positions between two end positions, at which the filling and / or suction and thereby adjusting a liquid level can.
  • the filling adapter also has a position measuring system for detecting the axial position of the tube.
  • the position measuring system enables accurate detection and thus precise adjustment of the pipe position, so that the fill level to be realized in the container can be precisely adjusted.
  • the displacement measuring system has, for example, a potentiometer, an ultrasonic sensor, an optical or even a magnetic incremental encoder, wherein these data are to be understood as examples only and in no way conclusive.
  • the pressure difference that can be set by the two pressures in the first and second cylinder chambers is selected by the control unit so that the sleeve moves in the desired direction.
  • the distance measuring system permanently gives feedback about the current position. If the control unit recognizes via the position measuring system that the sleeve has reached the target position, an equal pressure is produced in the two cylinder chambers and the sleeve is fixed in position in this position.
  • the desired filling level of the liquid is set in the container by suction of excess liquid.
  • This liquid can only be sucked off, as long as the mouth of the tube is below the liquid surface. Once the mouth is above the level of the liquid, no liquid can be sucked through the tube.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a filling adapter 1 and a filled by this filling adapter 1 with a liquid 9 to a level above a desired level 15 level container 2.

  • the tube 8 is mounted on a guide tube 17.
  • the filling of the container 2 with a liquid 9 takes place via a liquid connection 3 and the tube 8
  • FIG. 1 is an orifice 16 of the tube 8 is set to the predetermined level 15, so that the excess liquid for adjusting the level 15 can be sucked.
  • the tube 8 is connected to a piston 7 which is axially displaceable along an axis "Z" as a working piston in a working cylinder.
  • the mouth 16 of the tube 8 is adjustable between an upper end position Z-0 and a lower end position Z-1 in several steps or continuously to all intermediate positions.
  • the mouth 16 is in a first axial tube position Z-F1, which is associated with the illustrated container 2 and the filling level 15 shown.
  • the mouth 16 is moved to other positions, for example in the second axial tube position Z-F2, to realize in this position a filling level associated with another container.
  • the setting of different fill levels is preferably carried out via software parameters in a control unit, not shown.
  • the piston 7 defines with its first side 12 a first cylinder chamber 10, which is acted upon via a compressed gas connection 5 with a pressurized gas.
  • a second side 13 of the piston 7 is adjacent to a second cylinder chamber 11, which is also acted upon by a compressed gas via a further compressed gas connection 6.
  • the different pressures are e.g. generated in an unillustrated electropneumatic proportional valve.
  • the filling adapter 1 or 1 'a Wegmesssystem 19 which allows precise measurement and precise adjustment of the position of the mouth 16.
  • the mouth 16 of the tube 8 is set to the first axial tube position Z-F1, which is predetermined according to the filling level 15 in the illustrated container 2.
