Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling device which operates without measuring means, and to a method for measuring medium-free filling of a container with fluid using the filling device.
  • Filling devices and methods for filling containers are known in various embodiments.
  • liquids such as wine or even chemicals
  • a control instrument usually a magnetic-inductive flow meter (MID sensor) , pre-metered sensor-controlled or filled by means of a piston system in the respective container.
  • MID sensor magnetic-inductive flow meter
  • the displacement element is not introduced into the container, so that no running after the attachment volume takes place after pulling out of the displacement element.
  • the inventive method for measuring medium-free filling of a container with a fluid is carried out according to a first embodiment with a filling device comprising an attachment with a predetermined volume V A.
  • the article has a valve cap which has a gas valve and a liquid valve with valve seat in a housing.
  • the valve seat surrounds, forming an annular gap, a displacement element which can be displaced longitudinally relative to the housing.
  • step c) the extraction of the displacement element from the container, and run after the volume V VA (and only in special cases, the volume V FV ) in the container, the volume V VA or in the special case, the volumes V VA and V FV is as large as the volume V balloon of a portion of the displacement element in the flooded section, so that the same containers are filled with equally high levels.
  • the container can be disconnected from the attachment and closed.
  • the procedure can be repeated from the beginning.
  • the method is therefore "measuring-medium-free", which means in the sense of the invention that a desired amount of fluid is provided only by formation of defined volumes of individual components which, taken together, form the nominal volume V nominal , as will be explained further below.
  • this nominal volume V nominal corresponds to the volume of a predetermined nominal height to be filled into the respective container.
  • Equal containers here means vessels that are identical except for production-related deviations of the wall and floor thickness.
  • a development of the invention may comprise the step a '), after which, after insertion of the displacement element, a balloon-like body, which is slipped over a pipe, by supplying an expansion medium, can be expanded until the container to be filled and in particular the nominal volume V Nenn is lined ,
  • Until the container to be filled is lined here means that the balloon-like body lines said volumes such that a gap between the inner wall and the surface of the balloon-like body remains, which the fluid flow, respectively, the air displacement along the balloon-like body during expansion before the filling allowed, even if this creates when expanding to the wall. Gas pockets in the container are thus avoided. It does not have to be provided in any case that a gap between the balloon and container wall remains.
  • Fluids can be liquids such as drinks or chemicals;
  • “Expansion media” in turn gases such as air or inert gases or liquids, which are suitable to fill the respective balloon-like body.
  • the balloon-like body may be collapsed, by releasing a vacuum applied to the container, which has sucked the balloon against the inner wall, or by allowing the expansion medium to escape from the balloon-like body again becomes, happens; while continuing to let the fluid flow into the container.
  • the two additional steps allow the process to allow sensitive fluids to be filled, as the air in the reservoir can be squeezed out by inflating the balloon-like body or balloon, leaving little room for air to come into contact with the fluid.
  • other fluids such as residual water from a rinsing process or the like, can be removed from the container by the balloon before the actual filling fluid is introduced.
  • the liquid valve closes after the fluid that is filled, the container and also the valve has completely filled (passive control).
  • the fluid may trigger a valve mechanism when active control is provided.
  • the liquid valve may be a pressure valve.
  • the liquid valve is closed when a predetermined pressure is reached in the filling fluid circuit
  • a passive component such as a pressure relief valve may be connected to a fluid supply line.
  • the nominal volume is determined substantially from the nominal height h Nominal up to where the container is to be filled. Important for compliance with the nominal height h nominal at each filling is now that the displacement element protrudes a certain length h balloon into the container and just displaces a thus formed volume accordingly. In order to achieve the nominal volume, it is necessary to replenish the volume displaced by the displacement element in the container. This can be achieved according to the invention by reflecting this volume in the components of the article. In short: The displacement volume of the displacement element in the container corresponds to the residual volumes in the attachment minus the displacement element.
  • the void volumes are composed of different volumes of the components of the filling device:
  • a volume V B of the container enters the nominal volume V nominal to be reached.
  • a volume V A of the essay can be formed.
  • a volume V FV can be formed.
  • V nominal V B + V A + V FV - V balloon
  • the total volume of the various attachment components excluding the container volume corresponds to the volume displaced by the tube including the balloon-like body as a whole within the filling device.
  • the volume displaced by the displacer including the balloon-like body within the receptacle is the same size as the residual volumes formed by the attachment components without the displacer.
  • the stated volumes within the attachment can also be adapted to the specific container by providing compensation volumes in the valve attachment or in other suitable regions of the filling device.
  • compensation volumes in the valve attachment or in other suitable regions of the filling device can be mounted below or above this.
  • the nominal volume can thus be matched to any container shape, which makes it possible to fill different container shapes same capacity with the required nominal volume so that always the same filling level is achieved in the different containers.
  • the article further comprises a volume compensator which is fluidically coupled to the valve cap, wherein the volume compensator in step a) with its underside placed tightly on the empty or full container can be.
  • the volume compensator can also be arranged above the valve cap.
  • the volume compensator above the filling valve is basically the same design as below the filling valve. He would then be arranged as an "intermediate piece" between the balloon intake and the filling valve.
  • the balloon retainer is then still the topmost point in this case and holds the balloon concentrically in the volume compensator and the fill valve.
  • the balloon then still displaces all air from the volume compensator and the filling principle is obtained as in the variant in which the volume compensator sits directly on the vessel.
  • the interior of the volume compensator forms a predetermined volume WK, which may be fixed in one embodiment.
  • the volume of the volume compensator can be adjusted in a further embodiment by suitable volume change means for different container sizes and thus be variable.
  • “Variable” here means that not only a fixed, invariable volume is formed by the different cavities in the filling device, and thus a filling is limited to one possibility, but the respective volumes on the containers to be filled or the immersion depth of the displacement element can be matched.
  • the volume compensator can also be multi-part, in particular two-part, and form different volume sizes depending on the choice of the assembled elements.
  • the active volume of the respective compensating element can also be variable if the device is to be retrofitted for the filling of different containers.
  • a variable displacement can be achieved, for example, by means of sliders, a guide roller or variable / different wall thickness, the contour of a stopper and a matched shape of the balloon-like body.
  • This also CO 2 -containing liquids can be filled without it to the so-called "gushing" (foaming due to sudden pressure relief) comes.
  • a constant filling level, d. H. a certain filling volume per container can thus be achieved for different containers by specific volumes are formed within the essay.
  • the volume to be filled can be adjusted by the volume compensator depending on the container to be filled.
  • additional compensation volumes can be provided within the valve cap, which can be formed for example by recesses or grooves in a through hole of the valve cap.
  • the invention provides that in step a ') the expanding balloon-like body has a longitudinal web along its circumference. This extends in the longitudinal direction of the balloon-like body, so that in the expanded state of the balloon-like body between the surface of the balloon-like body and an inner surface of the attachment, a gap is formed along the balloon length.
  • the balloon-like body with respect to its number of webs could have significantly more webs than the least necessary to fulfill a web to allow less liquid to flow into the bottle or to increase the displacement of air in the container or a liquid.
  • grooves or other facilities may be provided for this purpose be.
  • this body is on the DE 10 2014 008 234 directed.
  • the contribution of the balloon-like body to the volume V balloon is essentially given by its wall thickness.
  • the balloon-like body may have a wall thickness of several microns to several millimeters.
