Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottling plant for filling mineral insulation foams in cavities, in particular in cavities of building materials or components such as in particular building blocks using a reciprocal hose pump and an inventive method for operating a reciprocal peristaltic pump according to the invention.
- Reciprocal pumps are known in the form of piston pumps or diaphragm pumps, which suck in the first cycle the fluid through an inlet valve and push out the fluid through the outlet valve in the second cycle.
- reciprocal means that the movement of the piston or the membrane takes place in the opposite direction in the first cycle and in the second cycle.
- Ordinary peristaltic pumps are not reciprocal pumps because they continuously convey by moving at least two rollers mounted diagonally opposite each other on a rotor over an arcuate section of the hose so that the hose is constantly squeezed by at least one roller.
- linear peristaltic pumps are known in which the fluid is moved continuously with a camshaft.
- the reciprocal peristaltic pump of the subject bottling plant is, as the name implies a peristaltic pump with reciprocal action principle and therefore has a Ausbringtakt and a blank cycle without application.
- the EP 0447616 A2 describes a reciprocal hose pump for filling batteries, wherein the material to be metered is a high-viscosity galvanic gel, which is filled in smallest, constant amounts in button and round cells.
- a squeezing roller is moved vertically with a first vertical pneumatic cylinder whose stroke can be adjusted mechanically by stops.
- the horizontal movement of the squeeze roller is controlled back and forth by the hose, the moving to the hose at the upper attachment point of the vertical Pneumatic cylinder takes place and moving away from the hose at the lower stop point of the vertical pneumatic cylinder.
- the amount that is conveyed at a stroke is thus achieved by changing the stroke of the vertical pneumatic cylinder by changing the mechanical stops, the metered amount per filling cycle is adjusted by the length of the stroke of the squeezing rollers.
- the WO 2009130250 A1 describes a reciprocating peristaltic pump for filling low-viscous to high-viscosity foods (eg water, mayonnaise).
- the metered quantity per filling cycle is controlled by the length of the stroke of the squeezing rollers.
- the reciprocal hose pump has for this purpose a vertical adjusting device, which is formed by a servo motor and a rack. By timed control of the servomotor, the length of the movement of the rack and thus the stroke of the peristaltic pump can be controlled.
- the horizontal adjustment opens when reaching the lower point of the stroke, the two pinch rollers and the servomotor then moves them back to the upper point of the stroke.
- the US 2006228240 A1 describes to the Fig. 1 - 6 a reciprocating peristaltic pump for dosing viscous to highly viscous foods.
- the filled quantity is controlled by repeatedly executing the filling operation with a fixed stroke of the squeezing rollers.
- the US 2006228240 A1 describes to the Fig. 7 - 13 a peristaltic pump having a plurality of rollers attached to a device, wherein the rollers move "in a circle" along a chain drive, wherein the tube is always squeezed by at least one roller.
- the dosage is carried out in the second embodiment of the US 2006228240 A1 thus as in a conventional rotary hose pump, namely by changing the speed of the chain drive or only by the operating time.
- the US 5380172 A describes a reciprocal peristaltic pump for filling food such as fruit pieces.
- the flow rate can be changed by changing the total stroke of the Quet rollers the reciprocal hose pump can be specified by mechanical stops are adjusted manually, also the extent to which the hose of the squeezing rollers compressed by adjusting bolts at standstill of the pump can be manually adjusted.
- One way to move the squeeze rollers at a controllable or controllable time during the downward movement of the hose away does not exist.
- the SU 1076622 A1 shows a translational hose pump, in which two pairs of rollers are each attached to a rod, which can be moved by a piston and down. The rods are moved in the same direction, so that one of the two roller pairs is always in crushing contact with the two laterally attached hoses.
- the pump thus promotes continuously as a conventional rotary hose pump, the funded amount is thus controlled only by changing the speed.
- the DE 1528953 A1 describes a conventional rotary peristaltic pump for pumping concrete.
- the circularly arranged hose is constantly squeezed by at least one of the squeezing rollers, the amount delivered is thus controllable only by changing the speed.
- the US 4529106 A describes a translational peristaltic pump having a plurality of rollers which are moved by a chain in a constant circulation, wherein always at least one roller clamps off the hose.
- the conveying mechanism thus corresponds to that of the rotary tube pump, wherein the delivery rate can only be controlled by the rotational speed of the rollers.
- each piston feeder or each piston pump has a container for receiving foam material and a filling element for introducing the foam material into a cavity, a piston cylinder for conveying the foam material from the container to the filling element and a valve element with which either a communication between the container and the piston cylinder and the piston cylinder and the filling element can be produced on.
- the EP 0038552 A1 shows a filling plant for filling molds with foam material for the production of bricks.
- the foam material is introduced into the mold with a piston dispenser as described above.
- the GB 2045344 A shows a filling system for filling cavities with foam material with a piston pump as described above.
- the DE 202014100309 U1 shows a device for filling bricks with a plurality of previously described Kolbendosierern or piston pumps.
- the hose pump has the advantage that the mechanical moving components of the peristaltic pump do not come into contact with the foam to be delivered.
- foams with a very high proportion of air or gas content have been found that their structure is significantly influenced by the filling, which collapses in the worst case, the foam structure and thus its purpose after filling can no longer meet.
- foam collapses depends on several factors, with mechanical loads, especially dynamic loads, playing a significant role.
- a changing load of the foam for example due to a changed pump speed, can thus lead to the Foam properties and foam stability, making the filling process difficult to control.
- An adjustment of the per unit time promoted amount of foam by speed change is thus disadvantageous, thus affecting the use of a continuously pumping pump, such as a conventional peristaltic pump with disadvantages.
- Object of the subject invention is to provide a delivery mechanism for a bottling plant for sensitive mineral insulation foams, which prevents the attachment of material, or allows rapid cleaning of already attached material, the flow rate can be flexibly adjusted without the burden (in particular the dynamic load), which acts on the material to be conveyed change.
- a change in the load always occurs when the change in the flow rate is achieved by changing the speed or changing the speed of the pump.
- the subject invention is thus not based on the use of the reciprocal peristaltic pump due to the known application of the exclusion of contamination, as mineral insulation foams are completely harmless, but consists in the use of the reciprocal hose pump due to the gentle promotion of the sensitive foam, in particular the Possibility of setting the delivered amount per unit time regardless of a change in the speed of the pump and thus load change of the foam.
- the subject invention is advantageous because it still requires the use of a per se for the general purpose pump type, which in any other field of technology (promotion of unfoamed, thus non-compressible hygienic or health sensitive media), for the gentle promotion of healthy but compressible and sensitive mineral insulation foams.
- a bottling plant is proposed as the use of the reciprocal peristaltic pump for filling sensitive mineral foam foams, comprising a container which is at least partially filled with the foam material to be filled and has at least one opening, from which a conduit leads to a filling element, such that each extending between an opening of the container and the filling element line is at least partially designed as a hose and on this hose section has a reciprocal hose pump, in which a hose pinching element along the longitudinal direction of the hose is moved, which is then moved back in the opposite direction, without to squeeze the hose.
- the squeezing the hose member is to be moved by an actuator to the hose to squeeze it and wegbewegbar from the hose to not squeeze the hose, wherein the funded volume controlled during movement of the roller from the starting point to the end along the longitudinal direction of the hose is squeezed by driving the adjusting device of the hose only in a portion of this movement.
- the pressure is taken from the foam and there is no slow expansion of the foam, which means a long dripping.
- the device according to the invention has no closure element, or no additional device for squeezing the tube behind the squeezing rollers of the reciprocal hose pump, so that the path from the inlet of the reciprocal hose pump to the outlet opening of the foam in the hollow body to be filled is free, as soon as the hose squeezing, reciprocal moving element was moved away from the hose.
- the delivered volume per cycle of movement of the reciprocal hose pump can be controlled or regulated over the distance which traverses the hose squeezing element in crushing contact with the hose along the longitudinal direction of the hose.
- Known reciprocal peristaltic pumps have for this purpose usually a movable in the longitudinal direction of the tube carriage on which a rotatable roller is attached as crimping element, wherein the carriage is cyclically movable along the tube in opposite directions between two end points, wherein the tube upon movement of the carriage in the first direction is squeezed to the lower end point between the roller and a stop and is not squeezed between the roller and the stop when moving in the second direction.
- the reciprocating peristaltic pump according to the invention also has a slide movable in the longitudinal direction of the tube or another component to which a rotatable roller is attached as a squeezing element, wherein the slide is cyclically movable along the tube in opposite directions between two end points.
- the hose when moving the carriage in the first direction is squeezed to the lower end point in a controllable portion of this movement between the roller and a stop and is not squeezed between the roller and the stop when moving in the second direction.
- the stroke of the device or the carriage is thereby constant, wherein the roller has an additional adjusting device, with which it can be moved away from the hose.
- the carriage Due to the fact that the carriage only has to be moved back and forth between two end points, its drive is correspondingly simple and can be designed, for example, as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
- the additional adjusting device can also be kept simple, since through this the roller only has to be moved back and forth in the direction of the hose.
- the controlled volume is controlled exclusively by time control of the additional adjusting device by maintaining the squeezing contact of the roller with the hose only over a portion of the downward movement of the carriage upright.
- this new device when several rollers are cyclically moved up and down by the one carriage, each acting on its own hose and each have their own adjusting device, with which the squeezing contact of the roller with the hose is selectively produced , As a result, with only one carriage moved parallel to the hoses, the delivered volume for each hose can be individually controlled.
- a stirring element is mounted in the foam container, which keeps the foam in motion and ensures a uniform distribution of the foam at the bottom of the container.
- the filling quantity or the filling level of the foam is detected in the cavities of the component to be filled and the stroke of the reciprocal hose pump is regulated in dependence thereon. The detection of the capacity or the level can already be done during the filling or after completion of filling.
- the filling quantity or the filling level is individually detected for building materials with a plurality of cavities for each cavity, and the reciprocal peristaltic pump associated with the respective cavity is regulated in dependence thereon.
- the filling quantity or the level is preferably detected after completion of expansion, so that exactly the required amount of foam can be introduced, which leads to a minimum consumption of the foam material.
- the building materials in the form of prefabricated elements such as building blocks, in particular hollow bricks, which are transported on an assembly line to representational plant.
- the filling unit which receives the outlet ends of the system according to the invention, attached to the arm of an industrial robot, wherein particularly preferably the filling unit is moved during the filling process with the conveyor belt, so that the building materials can be transported on the conveyor belt at a constant speed.

- the filling unit which accommodates at least one outlet end of the system according to the invention, is positioned by a robot with linear drives in the x, y, and preferably z direction, wherein the cavities of a stationary or moving building material are controlled successively in the xy plane can and preferably in the z-direction, the at least one outlet end lowered into each cavity to be filled and can be moved out during the filling of this.
- the reciprocal peristaltic pump is particularly valuable for this application because there must necessarily be a hose between the pump and the outlet end, so that the outlet end can be moved relative to the peristaltic pump between the cavities.
- the reciprocal hose pump prevents dripping without an additional closing element.
- the position of the building materials on the conveyor belt or the position of the cavities in the building material is detected by sensors, so that the robot can control these accurately.

If the force is removed by the actuator, the roller 14 is moved away by the spring force from the tube 2, so that it is no longer squeezed between the roller 14 and the stop, as it is in Fig.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abfüllanlage für das Füllen von mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen in Hohlräume, insbesondere in Hohlräume von Baustoffen beziehungsweise Bauelementen wie insbesondere Bausteine unter Verwendung einer reziproken Schlauchpumpe und ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Betrieb einer erfindungsgemäßen reziproken Schlauchpumpe.The invention relates to a bottling plant for filling mineral insulation foams in cavities, in particular in cavities of building materials or components such as in particular building blocks using a reciprocal hose pump and an inventive method for operating a reciprocal peristaltic pump according to the invention.
Reziproke Pumpen (oder oszillierende Pumpen) sind in Form von Kolbenpumpen oder Membranpumpen bekannt, welche im ersten Takt das Fördermedium über ein Einlassventil ansaugen und im zweiten Takt das Fördermedium über das Auslassventil herausdrücken. Reziprok bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Bewegung des Kolbens bzw. der Membran im ersten Takt und im zweiten Takt in entgegengesetzter Richtung erfolgt. Gewöhnliche Schlauchpumpen stellen keine reziproken Pumpen dar, da diese kontinuierlich fördern, indem zumindest zwei Walzen, welche an einem Rotor diagonal gegenüberliegend angebracht sind, über einen kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitt des Schlauches bewegt werden, sodass der Schlauch ständig durch zumindest eine Walze gequetscht ist. Weiters sind lineare Schlauchpumpen bekannt, bei welchen das Fördermedium kontinuierlich mit einer Nockenwelle bewegt wird. Die reziproke Schlauchpumpe der gegenständlichen Abfüllanlage ist, wie der Name sagt eine Schlauchpumpe mit reziprokem Wirkprinzip und weist daher einen Ausbringtakt und einen Leertakt ohne Ausbringung auf.Reciprocal pumps (or oscillating pumps) are known in the form of piston pumps or diaphragm pumps, which suck in the first cycle the fluid through an inlet valve and push out the fluid through the outlet valve in the second cycle. In this context, reciprocal means that the movement of the piston or the membrane takes place in the opposite direction in the first cycle and in the second cycle. Ordinary peristaltic pumps are not reciprocal pumps because they continuously convey by moving at least two rollers mounted diagonally opposite each other on a rotor over an arcuate section of the hose so that the hose is constantly squeezed by at least one roller. Furthermore, linear peristaltic pumps are known in which the fluid is moved continuously with a camshaft. The reciprocal peristaltic pump of the subject bottling plant is, as the name implies a peristaltic pump with reciprocal action principle and therefore has a Ausbringtakt and a blank cycle without application.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind Füllvorrichtungen zum Befüllen von Hohlräumen mit Schäumen bekannt, wobei nach dem Stand der Technik zumeist Kolbendosierer oder Kolbenpumpen für diesen Zweck Anwendung finden. Daneben wurden auch Schneckenförderer eingesetzt. Jeder Kolbendosierer bzw. jede Kolbenpumpen weist einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Schaummaterial sowie ein Füllelement zum Einführen des Schaumaterials in einen Hohlraum, einen Kolbenzylinder zum Fördern des Schaummaterials vom Behälter zum Füllelement und ein Ventilelement, mit dem wahlweise eine Kommunikation zwischen dem Behälter und dem Kolbenzylinder sowie dem Kolbenzylinder und dem Füllelement herstellbar ist, auf.According to the state of the art, filling devices for filling cavities with foams are known, and in the prior art, piston dispensers or piston pumps are usually used for this purpose. In addition, screw conveyors were used. Each piston feeder or each piston pump has a container for receiving foam material and a filling element for introducing the foam material into a cavity, a piston cylinder for conveying the foam material from the container to the filling element and a valve element with which either a communication between the container and the piston cylinder and the piston cylinder and the filling element can be produced on.

Besonders bei rasch aushärtenden Schäumen, bzw. Materialien die sich schnell am Inneren von Leitungen und Schläuchen anlegen, haben alle genannten Vorrichtungen bzw. Pumpen den Nachteil, dass diese nur mit einigem Aufwand von Anlagerungen befreit werden können, wobei die Schlauchpumpe den Vorteil hat, dass die mechanischen beweglichen Komponenten der Schlauchpumpe nicht mit dem zu fördernden Schaum in Berührung kommen.Especially with rapidly curing foams, or materials that build up quickly on the inside of pipes and hoses, all mentioned devices or pumps have the disadvantage that they can be freed from deposits only with some effort, the hose pump has the advantage that the mechanical moving components of the peristaltic pump do not come into contact with the foam to be delivered.
Für besonders empfindliche Schäume, also Schäume mit sehr hohem Luftanteil bzw. Gasanteil hat sich herausgestellt, dass deren Struktur maßgeblich von der Abfüllung beeinflusst wird, wobei im schlimmsten Fall die Schaumstruktur zusammenbricht und dieser seinen Zweck nach Abfüllung somit nicht mehr erfüllen kann. Wann ein Schaum zusammenbricht hängt von mehreren Faktoren ab, wobei mechanische Belastungen insbesondere dynamische Lasten eine maßgebliche Rolle zu spielen scheinen. Eine sich ändernde Beanspruchung des Schaumes, beispielsweise aufgrund einer geänderten Pumpendrehzahl, kann somit dazu führen, dass sich die Schaumeigenschaften und die Stabilität des Schaumes ändern können, was den Abfüllprozess schwer zu kontrollieren macht. Eine Einstellung der pro Zeiteinheit geförderten Menge des Schaumes durch Drehzahländerung ist somit nachteilig, was somit die Verwendung einer kontinuierlich fördernden Pumpe, wie einer herkömmlichen Schlauchpumpe mit Nachteilen behaftet. Beim Fördern von Mineralschäumen mit einer normalen Rotationsschlauchpumpe ist insbesondere nachteilig, dass die Rotationsschlauchpumpe nach jedem Befüllen einer Kammer gestoppt wird und dadurch der Mineralschaum, welcher sich im Schlauchbereich von der Schlauchpumpe bis zur Austrittsöffnung befindet, noch eine leichte Druckbeaufschlagung erfährt. Dadurch expandieren die Gas- bzw. Luftporen langsam und Schaum tropft über einen längeren Zeitraum nach, was zu Materialverlusten und Verunreinigung führt. Je länger die Leitung bzw. der Schlauch zwischen der Pumpe und der Austrittsöffnung ist, umso stärker ist dieser Effekt. Dieser Effekt würde auch bei allen genannten reziproken Schlauchpumpen auftreten, wenn mit diesen ein Schaum gepumpt würde, da die genannten reziproken Schlauchpumpen mit Quetschrollen oder Elementen wechselwirken, welche unterhalb der reziproken Schlauchpumpe bei Beendigung des Ausbringhubes den Schlauch abquetschen. Folglich würde der Schaum hinter der abgequetschten Stelle eine Expansion, aufgrund der komprimierten Gas- bzw. Luftblasen, erfahren und nachtropfen.For particularly sensitive foams, ie foams with a very high proportion of air or gas content has been found that their structure is significantly influenced by the filling, which collapses in the worst case, the foam structure and thus its purpose after filling can no longer meet. When a foam collapses depends on several factors, with mechanical loads, especially dynamic loads, playing a significant role. A changing load of the foam, for example due to a changed pump speed, can thus lead to the Foam properties and foam stability, making the filling process difficult to control. An adjustment of the per unit time promoted amount of foam by speed change is thus disadvantageous, thus affecting the use of a continuously pumping pump, such as a conventional peristaltic pump with disadvantages. When pumping mineral foams with a normal rotary hose pump is particularly disadvantageous that the rotary tube pump is stopped after each filling a chamber and thereby the mineral foam, which is located in the hose area of the peristaltic pump to the outlet opening, still undergoes a slight pressurization. As a result, the gas or air pores expand slowly and foam drips over a longer period of time, resulting in material losses and contamination. The longer the line or hose between the pump and the outlet opening, the stronger this effect. This effect would also occur in all reciprocal peristaltic pumps mentioned, if with these a foam would be pumped, since said reciprocating peristaltic pumps interact with squeezing rollers or elements which squeeze the tube below the reciprocal hose pump at the end of the Ausbringhubes. Consequently, the foam behind the pinched point would experience expansion and dripping due to the compressed gas or air bubbles.
Aufgabe der gegenständlichen Erfindung ist es, einen Fördermechanismus für eine Abfüllanlage für empfindliche mineralische Dämmstoffschäume bereit zu stellen, der das Anlagern von Material verhindert, bzw. eine rasche Reinigung von bereits angelagertem Material erlaubt, wobei die Fördermenge flexibel einstellbar sein, ohne die Belastung (insbesondere die dynamische Last), welche auf das zu fördernde Material wirkt, zu verändern. Eine Änderung der Belastung tritt immer dann auf, wenn die Änderung der Fördermenge über Geschwindigkeitsänderung bzw. Drehzahländerung der Pumpe erreicht wird.Object of the subject invention is to provide a delivery mechanism for a bottling plant for sensitive mineral insulation foams, which prevents the attachment of material, or allows rapid cleaning of already attached material, the flow rate can be flexibly adjusted without the burden (in particular the dynamic load), which acts on the material to be conveyed change. A change in the load always occurs when the change in the flow rate is achieved by changing the speed or changing the speed of the pump.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe vorgeschlagen, zur Abfüllung von empfindlichen mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen eine reziproke Schlauchpumpe gemäß Anspruch 1 zu verwenden.According to the invention is proposed to solve the problem, to use a reciprocal peristaltic pump according to
Durch die reziproke Ausführung wird der Mineralschaum durch das Walzensystem nach unten gedrückt und beim Abheben der Walzen entsteht sofort eine Rücksaugwirkung auf den Mineralschaum, welcher sich im Schlauchbereich von der Schlauchpumpe bis zur Austrittsöffnung befindet. Das Nachtropfen entfällt und unnötiger Materialverlust wird somit verhindert.Due to the reciprocal design of the mineral foam is pressed down through the roller system and when lifting the rollers immediately creates a suction effect on the mineral foam, which is located in the hose area of the peristaltic pump to the outlet opening. The dripping is eliminated and unnecessary material loss is thus prevented.
Das Steuern des Fördervolumens der reziproken Schlauchpumpe erfolgt gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren der Ansprüche 10 bis 15, da sich bei diesem die auf den mineralischen Dämmstoffschaum wirkende Belastung bei Änderung des Fördervolumens nicht ändert. Reziproke Schlauchpumpen sind zwar an sich bekannt, deren Verwendung zur Abfüllung von Schäumen im Allgemeinen und empfindlichen mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen im Speziellen jedoch nicht. Bislang wurden reziproke Schlauchpumpen lediglich zum Abfüllen von aus hygienischen (z.B. Lebensmittel) oder umweltschutzgründen (z.B. Batterieflüssigkeit) heiklen Produkten verwendet, um eine Kontamination des Produkts oder eine Kontamination der Anlage durch das Produkt zu verhindern. Für andere allgemeine Zwecke, also zur Förderung von unbedenklichen Produkten, werden aufgrund des einfacheren Aufbaus oder der an sich vorteilhaften kontinuierlichen Förderung andere Pumpenprinzipien eingesetzt. Beispielsweise reziproke Kolbenpumpen zur Füllung von Bausteinen, aufgrund des einfacheren Aufbaus. Rotatorische Schlauchpumpen zur kontinuierlichen Förderung von Beton, aufgrund der kontinuierlichen und somit höheren Förderleistung (kein Leerhub).The control of the delivery volume of the reciprocal hose pump is carried out according to the inventive method of
Die gegenständliche Erfindung basiert somit nicht auf der Verwendung der reziproken Schlauchpumpe aufgrund des bekannten Anwendungszweckes des Ausschlusses von Kontamination, da mineralische Dämmstoffschäume völlig unbedenklich sind, sondern besteht in der Verwendung der reziproken Schlauchpumpe aufgrund der sanften Förderung des empfindlichen Schaumes, insbesondere der Möglichkeit der Einstellung der geförderten Menge pro Zeiteinheit unabhängig von einer Geschwindigkeitsänderung der Pumpe und somit Belastungsänderung des Schaumes.The subject invention is thus not based on the use of the reciprocal peristaltic pump due to the known application of the exclusion of contamination, as mineral insulation foams are completely harmless, but consists in the use of the reciprocal hose pump due to the gentle promotion of the sensitive foam, in particular the Possibility of setting the delivered amount per unit time regardless of a change in the speed of the pump and thus load change of the foam.
Die gegenständliche Erfindung ist vorteilhaft, da sie die Verwendung einer an sich für den allgemeinen Anwendungszweck nachteiligen Pumpenart, welche in einem anderen Gebiet der Technik (Förderung von unaufgeschäumten, somit nicht-komprimierbaren hygienisch oder gesundheitlich heiklen Medien) dennoch notwendig ist, zur sanften Förderung von gesundheitlich unbedenklichen aber komprimierbaren und empfindlichen mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen vorschlägt.The subject invention is advantageous because it still requires the use of a per se for the general purpose pump type, which in any other field of technology (promotion of unfoamed, thus non-compressible hygienic or health sensitive media), for the gentle promotion of healthy but compressible and sensitive mineral insulation foams.
Erfindungsgemäß wird als Verwendung der reziproken Schlauchpumpe zur Abfüllung von empfindlichen mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen eine Abfüllanlage vorgeschlagen, umfassend einen Behälter, welcher zumindest teilweise mit dem zu verfüllenden Schaummaterial gefüllt ist und zumindest eine Öffnung aufweist, von welcher eine Leitung zu einem Füllelement führt, derart auszugestalten, dass jede zwischen einer Öffnung des Behälters und dem Füllelement verlaufende Leitung zumindest abschnittsweise als Schlauch ausgeführt ist und an diesem Schlauchabschnitt eine reziproke Schlauchpumpe aufweist, bei welcher ein den Schlauch quetschendes Element entlang der Längsrichtung des Schlauches bewegt wird, welches dann in entgegengesetzter Richtung zurückbewegt wird, ohne den Schlauch zu quetschen. Das den Schlauch quetschende Element ist dazu durch eine Stellvorrichtung zum Schlauch hin bewegbar, um diesen zu quetschen und vom Schlauch wegbewegbar um den Schlauch nicht zu quetschen, wobei das geförderte Volumen bei einer Bewegung der Walze vom Ausgangspunkt bis zum Endpunkt entlang der Längsrichtung des Schlauches gesteuert wird, indem durch Ansteuerung der Stellvorrichtung der Schlauch nur in einem Teilbereich dieser Bewegung gequetscht wird. Sobald das den Schlauch quetschende Element durch seine Stellvorrichtung vom Schlauch wegbewegt wird, wird die Druckbeaufschlagung vom Schaum genommen und es kommt zu keiner langsamen Expansion des Schaums, welche ein langes Nachtropfen bedeutet. Durch den vom expandierenden Schlauch ausgeübten Sog wird der Schaum meist sogar etwas zurück in Richtung der reziproken Schlauchpumpe bewegt. Bevorzugt weist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kein Verschlusselement, bzw. keine zusätzliche Vorrichtung zum Quetschen des Schlauches hinter den Quetschrollen der reziproken Schlauchpumpe auf, sodass der Weg vom Einlass der reziproken Schlauchpumpe bis zur Auslassöffnung des Schaumes in den zu füllenden Hohlkörper frei ist, sobald das den Schlauch quetschende, reziprok bewegte Element vom Schlauch wegbewegt wurde.According to the invention, a bottling plant is proposed as the use of the reciprocal peristaltic pump for filling sensitive mineral foam foams, comprising a container which is at least partially filled with the foam material to be filled and has at least one opening, from which a conduit leads to a filling element, such that each extending between an opening of the container and the filling element line is at least partially designed as a hose and on this hose section has a reciprocal hose pump, in which a hose pinching element along the longitudinal direction of the hose is moved, which is then moved back in the opposite direction, without to squeeze the hose. The squeezing the hose member is to be moved by an actuator to the hose to squeeze it and wegbewegbar from the hose to not squeeze the hose, wherein the funded volume controlled during movement of the roller from the starting point to the end along the longitudinal direction of the hose is squeezed by driving the adjusting device of the hose only in a portion of this movement. As soon as the element crushing the tube is moved away from the tube by its adjusting device, the pressure is taken from the foam and there is no slow expansion of the foam, which means a long dripping. By the of As a result of the expansion of the suction hose, the foam is usually even moved backwards in the direction of the reciprocal peristaltic pump. Preferably, the device according to the invention has no closure element, or no additional device for squeezing the tube behind the squeezing rollers of the reciprocal hose pump, so that the path from the inlet of the reciprocal hose pump to the outlet opening of the foam in the hollow body to be filled is free, as soon as the hose squeezing, reciprocal moving element was moved away from the hose.
Gemäß der bekannten Funktionsweise der reziproken Schlauchpumpe kann das geförderte Volumen pro Bewegungszyklus der reziproken Schlauchpumpe über die Strecke gesteuert oder geregelt werden, welche das den Schlauch quetschende Element in quetschendem Kontakt mit dem Schlauch entlang der Längsrichtung des Schlauches zurücklegt. Bekannte reziproke Schlauchpumpen weisen dazu meist einen in Längsrichtung des Schlauches beweglichen Schlitten auf, an welchem als quetschendes Element eine drehbare Walze befestigt ist, wobei der Schlitten zyklisch entlang des Schlauches in entgegengesetzten Richtungen zwischen zwei Endpunkten bewegbar ist, wobei der Schlauch bei Bewegung des Schlittens in die erste Richtung bis zum unteren Endpunkt zwischen der Walze und einem Anschlag gequetscht wird und bei Bewegung in die zweiten Richtung nicht zwischen der Walze und dem Anschlag gequetscht wird. Erfindungsgemäß wird eine demgegenüber neue Steuerung des geförderten Volumens pro Bewegungszyklus der reziproken Schlauchpumpe vorgeschlagen, bei welcher der Hub der Vorrichtung bzw. des Schlittens nicht geändert wird, bzw. nicht verstellt wird. Die erfindungsgemäße reziproke Schlauchpumpe weist dazu auch einen in Längsrichtung des Schlauches beweglichen Schlitten oder ein sonstiges Bauteil auf, an welchem als quetschendes Element eine drehbare Walze befestigt ist, wobei der Schlitten zyklisch entlang des Schlauches in entgegengesetzten Richtungen zwischen zwei Endpunkten bewegbar ist. Zum Unterschied ist aber vorgesehen, dass der Schlauch bei Bewegung des Schlittens in der ersten Richtung bis zum unteren Endpunkt in einem steuerbaren Teilbereich dieser Bewegung zwischen der Walze und einem Anschlag gequetscht wird und bei Bewegung in die zweite Richtung nicht zwischen der Walze und dem Anschlag gequetscht wird.According to the known operation of the reciprocal hose pump, the delivered volume per cycle of movement of the reciprocal hose pump can be controlled or regulated over the distance which traverses the hose squeezing element in crushing contact with the hose along the longitudinal direction of the hose. Known reciprocal peristaltic pumps have for this purpose usually a movable in the longitudinal direction of the tube carriage on which a rotatable roller is attached as crimping element, wherein the carriage is cyclically movable along the tube in opposite directions between two end points, wherein the tube upon movement of the carriage in the first direction is squeezed to the lower end point between the roller and a stop and is not squeezed between the roller and the stop when moving in the second direction. In contrast, according to the invention, a new control of the delivered volume per cycle of movement of the reciprocal peristaltic pump is proposed, in which the stroke of the device or of the carriage is not changed or not adjusted. The reciprocating peristaltic pump according to the invention also has a slide movable in the longitudinal direction of the tube or another component to which a rotatable roller is attached as a squeezing element, wherein the slide is cyclically movable along the tube in opposite directions between two end points. By contrast, it is provided that the hose when moving the carriage in the first direction is squeezed to the lower end point in a controllable portion of this movement between the roller and a stop and is not squeezed between the roller and the stop when moving in the second direction.
Der Hub der Vorrichtung bzw. des Schlittens ist dadurch konstant, wobei die Walze eine zusätzliche Stellvorrichtung aufweist, mit welcher diese vom Schlauch wegbewegt werden kann. Dadurch, dass der Schlitten nur zwischen zwei Endpunkten hin- und herbewegt werden muss, gestaltet sich dessen Antrieb entsprechend einfach und kann beispielsweise als Hydraulik- oder Pneumatikzylinder ausgeführt sein. Die zusätzliche Stellvorrichtung kann ebenfalls einfach gehalten sein, da durch diese die Walze lediglich in Richtung des Schlauches hin- und von diesem wegbewegt werden muss. Das Steuern des geförderten Volumens erfolgt ausschließlich durch zeitliche Ansteuerung der zusätzlichen Stellvorrichtung, indem diese den quetschenden Kontakt der Walze mit dem Schlauch nur über einen Teilbereich der Abwärtsbewegung des Schlittens aufrecht hält.The stroke of the device or the carriage is thereby constant, wherein the roller has an additional adjusting device, with which it can be moved away from the hose. Due to the fact that the carriage only has to be moved back and forth between two end points, its drive is correspondingly simple and can be designed, for example, as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. The additional adjusting device can also be kept simple, since through this the roller only has to be moved back and forth in the direction of the hose. The controlled volume is controlled exclusively by time control of the additional adjusting device by maintaining the squeezing contact of the roller with the hose only over a portion of the downward movement of the carriage upright.
Besonders wertvoll ist diese neue erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dann, wenn von dem einen Schlitten mehrere Walzen zyklisch auf- und abbewegt werden, welche jeweils auf einen eigenen Schlauch wirken und jeweils eine eigene Stellvorrichtung aufweisen, mit welcher der quetschende Kontakt der Walze mit dem Schlauch wahlweise herstellbar ist. Dadurch kann mit nur einem parallel zu den Schläuchen bewegten Schlitten das geförderte Volumen für jeden Schlauch individuell gesteuert werden.Particularly valuable is this new device according to the invention, when several rollers are cyclically moved up and down by the one carriage, each acting on its own hose and each have their own adjusting device, with which the squeezing contact of the roller with the hose is selectively produced , As a result, with only one carriage moved parallel to the hoses, the delivered volume for each hose can be individually controlled.
Bevorzugt ist im Schaumbehälter ein Rührelement angebracht, welches den Schaum in Bewegung hält und eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Schaums am Boden des Behälters gewährleistet. Besonders bevorzugt wird die Füllmenge bzw. der Füllstand des Schaumes in den Hohlräumen des zu füllenden Bauelements erfasst und der Hub der reziproken Schlauchpumpe in Abhängigkeit davon geregelt. Die Erfassung der Füllmenge bzw. des Füllstands kann dabei bereits laufend während der Füllung oder nach beendeter Füllung erfolgen.Preferably, a stirring element is mounted in the foam container, which keeps the foam in motion and ensures a uniform distribution of the foam at the bottom of the container. Particularly preferably, the filling quantity or the filling level of the foam is detected in the cavities of the component to be filled and the stroke of the reciprocal hose pump is regulated in dependence thereon. The detection of the capacity or the level can already be done during the filling or after completion of filling.
Bevorzugt wird die Füllmenge bzw. der Füllstand bei Baustoffen mit mehreren Hohlräumen für jeden Hohlraum einzeln erfasst und die dem jeweiligen Hohlraum zugeordnete reziproke Schlauchpumpe in Abhängigkeit davon geregelt.Preferably, the filling quantity or the filling level is individually detected for building materials with a plurality of cavities for each cavity, and the reciprocal peristaltic pump associated with the respective cavity is regulated in dependence thereon.
Sollte der Schaum nach Abfüllen im Hohlraum eine Expansion erfahren, so wird die Füllmenge, bzw. der Füllstand bevorzugt nach beendeter Expansion erfasst, sodass exakt die benötigte Menge Schaum eingebracht werden kann, was zu einer minimalen Verbrauch des Schaummaterials führt.If the foam undergoes expansion after filling in the cavity, then the filling quantity or the level is preferably detected after completion of expansion, so that exactly the required amount of foam can be introduced, which leads to a minimum consumption of the foam material.
Besonders bevorzugt liegen die Baustoffe in Form von vorgefertigten Elementen wie Bausteinen, insbesondere Hohlziegeln vor, welche auf einem Fließband zur gegenständlichen Anlage transportiert werden.Particularly preferred are the building materials in the form of prefabricated elements such as building blocks, in particular hollow bricks, which are transported on an assembly line to representational plant.
Besonders bevorzugt ist die Fülleinheit, welche die Auslassenden der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage aufnimmt, am Arm eines Industrieroboters befestigt, wobei besonders bevorzugt die Fülleinheit während des Abfüllvorgangs mit dem Förderband mitbewegt wird, sodass die Baustoffe am Förderband mit einer konstanten Geschwindigkeit transportiert werden können. Dadurch werden Beschleunigungsvorgänge des Fließbands vermieden, was insbesondere einen geringeren Energieverbrauch zur Folge hat. Besonders bevorzugt wird die Fülleinheit, welche zumindest ein Auslassende der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage aufnimmt, von einem Roboter mit Linearantrieben in x-, y-, und bevorzugt z-Richtung positioniert, wobei die Hohlräume eines ruhenden oder bewegten Baustoffs nacheinander in der xy-Ebene angesteuert werden können und bevorzugt in der z-Richtung das zumindest eine Auslassende in den jeweils zu füllenden Hohlraum abgesenkt und während der Füllung aus diesem herausbewegt werden kann. Die reziproke Schlauchpumpe ist für diesen Anwendungsfall besonders wertvoll, da sich zwischen Pumpe und Auslassende zwangsläufig eine Schlauchleitung befinden muss, sodass das Auslassende relativ zur Schlauchpumpe zwischen den Hohlräumen verfahren werden kann. Durch die reziproke Schlauchpumpe wird Nachtropfen auch ohne zusätzliches Verschlusselement verhindert.Particularly preferably, the filling unit, which receives the outlet ends of the system according to the invention, attached to the arm of an industrial robot, wherein particularly preferably the filling unit is moved during the filling process with the conveyor belt, so that the building materials can be transported on the conveyor belt at a constant speed. As a result, acceleration processes of the assembly line are avoided, which in particular results in lower energy consumption. Particularly preferably, the filling unit, which accommodates at least one outlet end of the system according to the invention, is positioned by a robot with linear drives in the x, y, and preferably z direction, wherein the cavities of a stationary or moving building material are controlled successively in the xy plane can and preferably in the z-direction, the at least one outlet end lowered into each cavity to be filled and can be moved out during the filling of this. The reciprocal peristaltic pump is particularly valuable for this application because there must necessarily be a hose between the pump and the outlet end, so that the outlet end can be moved relative to the peristaltic pump between the cavities. The reciprocal hose pump prevents dripping without an additional closing element.
Besonders bevorzugt wird die Lage der Baustoffe am Förderband oder die Lage der Hohlräume im Baustoff sensorisch erfasst, sodass der Roboter diese zielgenau ansteuern kann.Particularly preferably, the position of the building materials on the conveyor belt or the position of the cavities in the building material is detected by sensors, so that the robot can control these accurately.
Die erfindungsgemäße Abfüllanlage kann gegenüber dem Stand der Technik besonders vorteilhaft zum Abfüllen von schnell aushärtenden mineralischen Dämmstoffschäumen mit einem hohen Porenanteil von zumindest 50 %, insbesondere zumindest 70 % verwendet werden. Bevorzugt weist der mineralische Dämmstoffschaum eine Zementmatrix auf und ist selbstaushärtend (d.h. härtet ohne Autoklavierung aus).The bottling plant according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously for filling rapidly hardening mineral insulation foams having a high pore content of at least 50%, in particular at least 70%, compared to the prior art. Preferably, the mineral insulation foam has a cementitious matrix and is self-curing (i.e., cures without autoclaving).

Ebenso wäre es möglich mit mehreren Schläuchen 2 in einen Hohlraum 6 zu fördern, oder das mit einem Hub geförderte Volumen eines Schlauches 2 auf zwei oder mehr Hohlräume 6 zu verteilen.Per cavity to be filled 6 is advantageously at least one
Das Füllelement 5 kann über ein Verschlusselement 8 zum Verschließen der Füllstutzen 4 verfügen, um Auslaufen von Schaummaterial zwischen den Füllvorgängen zu verhindern. Indem das Verschlusselement 8 direkt am Füllstutzen 4 angebracht ist, bzw. dessen Austrittsöffnung verschließt, wird Nachtropfen verhindert. Wenn hingegen wie nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt am Schlauch 2, eine Verschlussvorrichtung vorhanden ist, beispielsweise in Form einer Vorrichtung zum Abklemmen des Schlauchs 2, kommt es wie bereits beschrieben zum Nachtropfen durch Expansion des Schaumes im Bereich nach der Abklemmung. Als Verschlussvorrichtung bzw. Verschlusselement 8 eignen sich neben Ventilen und Schiebern alle anderen nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Vorrichtungen zum wahlweisen Öffnen und Schließen einer Austrittsöffnung.The filling
Die Bauelemente 7 werden bevorzugt mit einer Transportvorrichtung, insbesondere einem Förderband 9, relativ zur Abfüllvorrichtung bewegt. Das Füllelement 5 kann relativ zur Transportvorrichtung bzw. zur Abfüllanlage beweglich gehalten sein, beispielsweise am Arm eines Industrieroboters 10 oder durch einen oder mehrere Linearantriebe in x-, y-, und/oder z-Richtung. Die Relativbewegung des Füllelements 5 wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass zwischen der reziproken Schlauchpumpe 1 und den Füllstutzen 4 jeweils eine flexible Schlauchleitung verläuft, bevorzugt indem sich jeder Schlauch 2 durchgehend vom Behälter 3 bis zum Füllelement 5 bzw. den Füllstutzen 4 erstreckt. Eine weniger bevorzugte Variante wäre weitere Leitungen beispielsweise in Form von Rohren oder Schläuchen vorzusehen, welche sich zwischen dem Behälter 3 und der reziproken Schlauchpumpe 1 und/oder zwischen der reziproken Schlauchpumpe 1 und dem Füllelement 5 erstrecken.The
Das Füllelement 5 weist bevorzugt einen Träger auf, in welchem die Füllstutzen 4 in ihrer Lage entsprechend der Lage der Hohlräume 6 des Bauelements 7 insbesondere Bausteins fixiert oder fixierbar sind, wobei die Position der Füllstutzen 4 im Träger veränderbar ist, oder der Träger mit einem Träger mit anderer Füllstutzenanordnung austauschbar ist und die Schläuche 2 mit Schnellverschlüssen an den Füllstutzen 4 befestigt sind. Weiters kann das Füllelement 5 zumindest ein Umschaltelement aufweisen, vorzugsweise in Form eines Dreiwegeventils, oder einer linearen Schieberplatte, an welchem zumindest eine von der reziproken Schlauchpumpe 1 kommenden Leitung, insbesondere ein Schlauch 2, und zumindest ein Füllstutzen 4 angeschlossen sind.The filling
Im Behälter 3 ist bevorzugt ein Rührwerk 11 angebracht, welches den abzufüllenden Schaum in Bewegung hält, um ein Ablagern bzw. Aushärten an der Behälterwand zu verhindern.In the

Um ein unkontrolliertes Entweichen von Schaum bei Aufwärtsbewegung der Walzen 14, 15 zu verhindern, kann der Auslass des Schlauches 2 über beispielsweise einen Schieber verschlossen werden. Vorteilhaft sind das Verschlusselement 8 des jeweiligen Schlauches 2 bzw. Füllstutzens 4 und die Verstellvorrichtung der Walze 14 mechanisch, elektrisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch gekoppelt, sodass das Wegbewegen der Walze 14 vom Schlauch 2 und das Schließen mit dem Verschlusselement 8 zeitgleich erfolgt. Beispielsweise sind die Verstellvorrichtungen der Walze 14 und des Verschlusselements 8 einfachwirkende hydraulische oder pneumatische Zylinder, wobei beide Zylinder über ein gemeinsames Steuerventil mit Druck beaufschlagbar sind. Beispielsweise wird bei Druckbeaufschlagung die Walze 14 durch den Zylinder entgegen einer Federkraft an den Schlauch 2 heranbewegt und das Verschlusselement 8 entgegen einer Federkraft geöffnet.In order to prevent an uncontrolled escape of foam during upward movement of the

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Abfüllen von Schaummaterial mit der reziproken Schlauchpumpe 1 umfasst folgende Schritte:
- zumindest teilweises Füllen des
Behälters 3 mit Schaum, welcher bevorzugt kontinuierlich von einem Schaummischer inden Behälter 3 gefördert wird, sodass die Öffnungen an denen dieSchläuche 2 angeschlossen sind mit Schaum bedeckt sind, um ein Ansaugen von Luft zu verhindern. - Quetschen jedes Schlauches 2 zwischen einer drehbaren Walze 14 und einem drehbaren Anschlag am Ausgangspunkt der Bewegung der
Walze 14. - Bewegung der drehbaren Walze 14 in quetschendem Kontakt
mit jedem Schlauch 2 in Richtung des Auslassendes des Schlauches 2, um Schaumaus dem Behälter 3 inden Schlauch 2 zu saugen und bei bereits gefülltemSchlauch 2 Material aus dem Auslassende des Schlauches 2 zu quetschen.
- Wenn das benötigte Füllvolumen erreicht ist: Wegnahme der Quetschwirkung, indem die drehbare Walze 14 oder der drehbare Anschlag vom jeweiligen
Schlauch 2 wegbewegt wird. - Gegebenenfalls Ausführung der Bewegung der drehbaren Walze 14 in nicht quetschendem Kontakt
mit dem Schlauch 2 in Richtung des Auslassendes des Schlauches 2, bis der Endpunkt der Bewegung der Walze 14 erreicht ist. Rückführung der Walze 14 an den Ausgangspunkt der Bewegung derWalze 14.
- at least partially filling the
container 3 with foam, which is preferably conveyed continuously by a foam mixer into thecontainer 3, so that the openings to which thetubes 2 are connected are covered with foam to prevent suction of air. - Squeezing each
tube 2 between arotatable roller 14 and a rotatable stop at the starting point of the movement of the roller 14th - Movement of the
rotatable roller 14 in crimped contact with eachtube 2 in the direction of the outlet end of thetube 2 to suck foam from thecontainer 3 in thetube 2 and to squeeze material from the outlet end of thetube 2 in already filledtube 2.
- When the required filling volume is reached: removal of the squeezing action by the
rotatable roller 14 or the rotatable stopper is moved away from therespective tube 2. - Optionally, performing the movement of the
rotatable roller 14 in non-crimping contact with thetube 2 toward the outlet end of thetube 2 until the end point of movement of theroller 14 is reached. - Return of the
roller 14 to the starting point of the movement of the roller 14th

Bei der gegenständlichen Schlauchpumpe 1 kann im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Schlauchpumpen, zur Reduktion der Austragsmenge, die Wegstrecke, welche die Walzen 14 in quetschendem Kontakt mit dem Schlauch 2 entlang dessen kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitts seiner Längserstreckung zurücklegen, reduziert werden, sodass die Schlauchpumpe 1 nicht mehr kontinuierlich fördert. Die Austragsmenge kann also bei konstanter Drehzahl des Rotors 16 über die Frequenz und die Dauer jener Zeitabschnitte gesteuert werden, welche die Walzen 14 durch Betätigung der Stellvorrichtung in quetschendem Kontakt mit dem Schlauch 2 zurücklegen. Im Gegensatz zur mit durchgehenden Linien dargestellten Ausgestaltung mit geradem Schlauch 2 ist es, bei der gepunktet dargestellten kreisbogenförmigen Anordnung des Schlauches 2, ausreichend die Walze 14 durch die Stellvorrichtung wahlweise zwischen zwei Extremposition verstellen zu können, was die Ausgestaltung der Stellvorrichtung vereinfacht. Durch die Stellvorrichtung kann die Quetschwirkung jederzeit vom Schlauch 2 genommen werden, sodass wenn ein Hohlraum 6 vollständig mit Schaum gefüllt ist, die Quetschwirkung sofort weggenommen werden kann und erst zur Füllung des nächsten Hohlraums 6 wiederhergestellt wird. Der Rotor 16 muss dazu nicht gestoppt werden.In the subject

Ebenso können drei, vier oder mehr Walzen 14 auf einen Schlauch 2 wirken, wobei diese vorteilhaft gleichmäßig, also jeweils den gleichen Winkel zueinander einschließend am Rotor 16 vorliegen und jede Walze 14 eine Stellvorrichtung aufweist, mit welcher deren Radialabstand zur Drehachse des Rotors 16 steuerbar bzw. änderbar ist. Dabei kann es ausreichen, wenn eine Stellvorrichtung vorhanden ist, welche den Abstand aller Walzen 14, welche auf einen Schlauch 2 wirken, einheitlich steuert bzw. ändert.The number of mounted on the
