Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filling valve for filling liquid containing products, e.g. juices, still products, soft drinks, which may also contain pieces and long fruit fibers.
- products e.g. juices, still products, soft drinks, which may also contain pieces and long fruit fibers.
- Such a filling valve usually has a first sealing seat, which is arranged in the axial section upstream of the second sealing seat.
- the first sealing seat and the second sealing seat are arranged and designed such that after closing the first sealing seat at the second sealing seat at the outlet end still a gap of 0.5 - 1, 5 mm remains open, which acts as a gas barrier. If the first and second sealing seat were to be completely closed at the same time, the product would be splashed onto the mouth of the bottle and into the environment immediately during the closing process.
- the gap on the second sealing seat which is often formed by a diameter-extended sealing area on the valve tappet and a circumferential shoulder on the valve seat, is in conflict with the overlying annular gap of the axial section formed between the valve tappet and the valve seat , It is a fairly large width in this annular gap sought to make it possible to fill even liquids with large particles. If certain limits are exceeded, the gap on the second valve seat loses its effect or function as a gas barrier and the product located in the axial section above the annular gap and below the first sealing seat runs out.
- the width of the annular gap and the size of the gap at the second sealing seat are additionally dependent on the viscosity and the surface tension of the products.
- the problem here is the combined or alternating processing of high-viscosity or low-viscosity products, such as water, ice tea and peach juice with fruit, in a filling device. If, for example, the system functions perfectly in the case of highly viscous beverages, the beverage flows through the gas barrier, ie, over the gap of the second sealing seat, when low-viscosity products are to be filled. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a filling valve, which on the one hand is able to process products with solid particles, such as pieces of fruit as well as being able to process products with different viscosity.
- the filling valve has at least one valve stem, which is arranged axially movable in a valve seat, wherein between the valve seat and valve stem, an axial portion is formed, in which the product flows to a second sealing seat, which is formed at an outlet end of the filling valve.
- the axial section is preferably designed as an annular gap, but may also be formed by a lateral channel parallel to the filling valve axis.
- a first sealing seat is furthermore arranged in the axial section in the flow direction in front of the second sealing seat, the first sealing seat preferably having elastic sealing elements.
- the first sealing seat and the second sealing seat are arranged on the valve tappet such that the first sealing seat closes in front of the second sealing seat during a closing movement of the valve tappet, wherein the first sealing seat after closure closes a further axial movement of the valve tappet in the closing direction until closing of the second sealing seat allows.
- the closing movement of the valve stem thus leads to a time-delayed complete closing of the two sealing seats.
- the second sealing seat is thus no longer left open a gap, but it is also closed, but in time after the first sealing seat, possibly in its own movement section. This ensures that after the closing of the first sealing seat of the filling process is completed and that in addition, the product located in the annular gap of the axial portion product is firmly trapped there first a gap on the second sealing seat remains so small that this as Gas barrier acts and counteracts gas entry. Finally, with the closing of the second sealing seat, which takes place at a later time, no product is sprayed onto the bottle below or into the surroundings, even if the latter has a very low viscosity.
- the advantage of the invention is that due to the temporally subsequent closing of the second sealing seat in the axial section - preferably in the annular gap - located between the valve seat and valve lifter product can not leak, and also no gas can rise in it.
- the filling function of the filling valve is thus independent of the viscosity of the product within the usual ranges of viscosity in beverages.
- valve stem is thus initially moved only to the extent that only the first sealing seat is closed and in the second sealing seat remains a gap, which acts as a gas barrier after reaching the capacity of a container to be filled. This means that the filling valve terminates the filling process without any spraying of filling material.
- the second sealing seat is sealed by a further stroke of the valve stem, the period between the closing of the first sealing seat and the second sealing seat is dimensioned so short that no gas in the annular gap of the axial section or Can rise up annular gaps. A premature emptying of the product located in the annular gap is excluded even at low viscosity.
- the further stroke of the valve stem after closing the first sealing seat is preferably less than 2.5 mm and can be realized by a correspondingly constructed first sealing seat.
- the axial section between the first sealing seat and the second sealing seat preferably forms an annular gap large enough to allow products with solid particles, such as e.g. Fruit pieces as well as products with high viscosity can flow unhindered. Due to the defined control of the second sealing seat, the above-described viscosity dependence between the annular gap and the gap at the second sealing seat is now no longer given, since the second sealing seat, albeit with a time lag, completely closes.
- the filling valve according to the invention allows that the filling jet can be optimally designed for lowest turbulence and low foaming as well as high bulk performance and the processing of large particles. The cumbersome consideration for a functioning gas lock is eliminated. Thus, products with very different viscosities are manageable.
- the first sealing seat can thus have at least one highly elastic sealing element which can be deformed to such an extent after the closing of the first sealing seat that it participates in the axial movement of the valve tappet without losing the sealing effect in interaction with the other sealing element of the first sealing seat.
- Such a design of the first sealing seat is technically easy to implement, since it requires no moving parts on the first sealing seat, because the further axial movement of the valve stem is based solely on the flexibility or deformability of the first sealing seat, on the highly elastic properties of one or both sealing elements ,
- Another embodiment of the invention which is alternatively or in addition to the Deformability of a sealing element of the first sealing seat feasible requires that at least one of the sealing elements of the first sealing seat is arranged axially displaceably on the valve stem or on the valve seat.
- the axial displaceability makes it possible for the corresponding axially displaceable sealing element to follow the further axial movement of the valve stem after closing the first sealing seat, without losing the sealing effect in cooperation with the other sealing element.
- the axially displaceable sealing element of the first sealing seat preferably be held on an axially movable support, which is mounted axially movable either on the valve stem or on the valve seat.
- the carrier may e.g. be formed by a metal sleeve which can be easily slidably provided on the valve stem or the valve seat.
- the carrier or the axially movable sealing element is held by a spring device in an axial rest position, so that the further movement of the valve stem is realized after closing the first sealing seat characterized in that the carrier is pressed against the force of the spring means from its axial rest position ,
- the second sealing seat opens first, followed by the first sealing seat, the carrier returning to its rest position between these two operations.
- the carrier is sealed to the valve stem or valve seat with bellows, so that no product can get between the carrier and the valve stem or the valve seat on which the carrier is mounted.
- the bellows also form the spring means, which defines a rest position for the wearer.
- the sealing elements of the first sealing seat are formed by an elastic ring seal and a shoulder against which rests the ring seal.
- the ring seal is preferably formed in this case on the valve stem and the shoulder is a, preferably significant, change in diameter at the valve seat.
- it may be arranged on the valve seat and the annular seal on the valve stem and the shoulder on the valve stem.
- the ring seal preferably includes an annular sealing lip which extends transversely to the direction of movement of the valve stem.
- a sealing lip has due to their geometry and the corresponding thickness of the annular gap in the axial section between the valve stem and valve seat sufficient deformability, in order to allow after contact with the shoulder a further axial movement of the valve stem to close the second sealing seat.
- the first sealing seat after its closing allows a further axial actuation of the valve stem in the closing direction of at least 1 mm. This makes it possible to set the time between the closing of the first sealing seat and the closing of the second sealing seat within wide limits.
- This further axial actuation travel can be realized well by controlling the filling device in cooperation with an actuating mechanism for the valve tappet.
- the time delay between the closing of the first sealing seat and the closing of the second sealing seat is realized in that the valve stem is simply moved in a sequence of movements.
- actuation of the valve lifter until closing of the first sealing seat and subsequent further actuation until closure of the second sealing seat be realized by two separate controlled motions so that the speed of movement in both operations may be different.
- the axial movement of the valve Even after closing the first sealing seat, it can be held for a short moment.
- the first sealing seat is closed and then the valve stem is moved further in the closing direction until closing of the second sealing seat.
- the time delay between the closing of the first sealing seat and the closing of the second sealing seat is 30-300 ms, which prevents gas from penetrating into the annular gap of the axial region and prevents leakage of the product from the axial region.
- a filling device having at least one, preferably a plurality of the above-mentioned filling valves also has a movement mechanism for moving the valve stem, a control and a product feed with the corresponding product containers and product lines and the necessary valves and control elements. Since these are known per se, they are not further described in the present patent application.
- the invention also includes a filling device with at least one, preferably a plurality of the filling valves described above.
- FIG. 1 a - 1 c a first embodiment of a filling device according to the invention at three different times
- FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through a second embodiment of the invention at the same confirmation times as the embodiment of FIG. 1.
- the filling valve 10 shown in Fig. 1 includes a valve seat 12 in which a valve stem 14 is guided axially movable.
- the valve tappet 14 has at its upper end a valve head 16, on which the valve tappet 14 in the valve seat 12 is not only axially guided but also gripped by means of a movement mechanism (not shown) for axial movement.
- a movement mechanism not shown
- a spring device 18 is arranged, which biases the valve stem 14 in the valve seat in a rest position, ie usually in the closing direction.
- a product supply chamber 22 is formed, fed to the product by a product supply, not shown, a liquid-containing product by the unillustrated movement mechanism by means of actuators 20 becomes.
- a first sealing seat 24 is arranged. Its sealing elements are formed by an annular seal 26 arranged on the valve tappet 14 with a radially extending sealing lip 27 and a shoulder 28 arranged on the valve seat 12.
- a second sealing seat 30 is formed, the sealing elements are formed by an enlarged diameter teardrop-shaped thickening 32 of the valve stem 14 and a sealing edge 34 at the lower end of the valve seat 12.
- annular seal 26 Between the first sealing seat 24 and the second sealing seat 30, between the valve seat 12 and the valve tappet 14, there is formed an axial section 36 in the form of an annular gap, in which the product supplied to the product supply chamber 22 moves in the direction of the second sealing seat 30, ie lower outlet of the filling valve 10 moves.
- the radially outwardly extending highly elastic sealing lip 27 of the annular seal 26 can rest with its outer edge against the shoulder 28 of the valve seat 12 in the closed position of the first sealing seat 24.
- Fig. 1 a shows the position of the valve stem 14 during the filling of a product.
- the sealing lip 27 of the annular seal 26 of the first sealing seat 24 is spaced from the shoulder 28 of the valve seat 12, as well as the drop-shaped thickening 32 at the lower end of the valve stem 14 of the sealing edge 34 of the second sealing seat 30.
- the product feed 22 supplied product thus, it can flow without hindrance past the first sealing seat 24 and past the second sealing seat 30 into a container (not shown) under the filling valve 10.
- Fig. 1 b shows the first phase when stopping the filling process.
- the valve stem 14 in the valve seat 12 By a downward movement of the valve stem 14 in the valve seat 12, the valve stem has been moved down so far that now the sealing lip 27 of the ring seal 26 of the first sealing seat 24 rests against the shoulder 28 of the valve seat 12. This closes the first sealing seat 24, while the second sealing seat 30 is still open a gap.
- the remaining gap between the teardrop-shaped thickening 32 of the valve stem 14 and the sealing edge 34 of the valve seat 34 preferably has a size of 0.5 - VA mm. This gap acts as a gas barrier, as a result of which gas can not penetrate into the annular gap 36 located above the second sealing seat 30. Premature emptying of the axial region or annular gap 36 is thus excluded.
- valve stem 14 is further moved down until the teardrop-shaped thickening 32 abuts against the sealing edge 34 of the second sealing seat, that is, the second sealing seat 30 closes. This is shown in Fig. 1 c. Now the axial section or annular gap 36 is closed at the top by the closed first sealing seat 24 and at the bottom by the second sealing seat 30th
- the filling valve shown in the embodiment allows for the non-spilling filling of products of liquid-containing products containing solids as well as products of different viscosity.
- FIG. 2 shows a largely identical view to FIG. 1 of a second embodiment of the invention, in which identical or functionally identical parts are provided with identical reference numerals.
- the first sealing seat 42 of the filling valve 40 from FIG. 2 is designed differently than the first sealing seat 24 from FIG. 1.
- the first sealing seat 42 of the filling valve 40 of FIG. 2 has on the valve seat 14 an identical to the embodiment of FIG. 1 shoulder 28 as a sealing surface.
- an annular sealing element 43 with an axially displaceable support 44 is arranged on the valve tappet 14.
- Carrier 44 is held axially movably on valve tappet 14 via an upper bellows 46 and a lower bellows 47 and is tightly connected to corresponding upper and lower portions of valve tappet 14 and thus sealed against the product.
- the two bellows 46, 47 are made in one piece, as shown in FIG.
- the carrier 44 carries on its outer circumference a seal 48, for example an O-ring seal or a flat gasket, which rests against the shoulder 28 of the first sealing seat 42 when closing the first sealing seat 42.
- FIG. 2a The sequence when terminating a filling is shown analogously to FIG. 1.
- the filling valve 40 is shown in the open position, i. both the first sealing seat 42 and the second sealing seat 30 are open.
- the valve tappet 14 moves downwards so that first the seal 48 of the carrier 44 of the annular sealing element 43 of the first sealing seat 42 comes to lie sealingly against the shoulder 28 of the first sealing seat 42 formed on the valve seat 12.
- a gap of about 1 mm is still present, which acts as a gas barrier and a splashing of product onto an underlying bottle or counteracts the environment.
- the valve tappet 14 is then moved further downwards so that now the teardrop-shaped widening 32 of the second sealing seat 30 comes to rest on its sealing edge 34, whereby the second sealing seat 30 also closes.
