Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for treating KEG drums (short: KEG) with a valve having a flange, which device is arranged around a vertical central axis and has at least one upwardly projecting receiving socket with a treatment head.
- the treatment head has a valve connection for connection to the KEG valve.
- the device is for over-the-head handling, e.g. Filling, cleaning or the like, the keg barrels are formed.
- An adapter with a guide cone for the keg valve or keg fitting is arranged at the upper end of the treatment head, which ensures that the KEG valve is guided and centered on the valve connection of the adapter.
- KEG barrels that have a non-round and sometimes even uneven shape. Since such KEGs are often processed “upside down", they usually also run in this position of the processing machine.
- Cylindrical body KEGs reduce the problem of centering because a lateral rail guide can be used.
- the KEG and the treatment head of the treatment device are always moved toward one another in a linear movement by motor or pneumatically.
- the KEG is provided with a handle ring connected by struts to the flange of the KEG.
- These strivings also A problem with the coupling of the KEGs to the adapter of the treatment head.
- a treatment device of the above-mentioned generic type is described, for example, in EP 1 741 665 A1. It is an object of the present invention to improve a device of the type mentioned in that the KEG valve of the KEG is better absorbed on the adapter of the treatment head of the treatment device.
- the guide cone or the guide crown is rotatably attached to the treatment head or to the adapter.
- the adapter can be rotatably mounted for example by means of a ball or roller bearing or by means of an air bearing at the upper end of the treatment head. Due to the rotatability of the adapter, a guide cone formed on the adapter is able to rotate to avoid the strut of a gripping ring of the KEG in the context of mutual approach of KEG and treatment head in coupling the KEG.
- the guide cone can also be fastened rotatably by means of a bearing integrated in the adapter. The coupling of the KEG to the treatment head or adapter is thus considerably simplified even with non-circular KEG shapes and KEGs with gripping rings.
- the guide cone is preferably formed as a guide crown with a plurality of, at least three peaks, wherein the tips together form a segment-like guide cone.
- each tip has at least one central conical surface or at least one central sliding edge, which in the self-assembled state is inclined relative to the vertical and on which a keg fitting or keg flange can slide to achieve a centered, deep end position.
- the tips each have at least two lateral sliding surfaces, wherein these in a when erected, may be inclined at right angles to or perpendicular to the vertical central axis of the treatment device, in particular at an angle of 10 ° to 45 °.
- a tip is generally to be understood as an upwardly tapering segment, which may also have a convex, dull or otherwise chamfered end at the upper end.
- the handle ring of a keg is usually secured with a number of spoke-like struts, for example with four struts on the KEG flange.
- the guide cone can rotate so that the struts can slide into the spaces between the tips.
- the KEG can continue to be moved in the vertical or axial direction of the treatment device, which enables unproblematic coupling of the KEG valve formed on the KEG flange to the adapter of the treatment device.
- the guide cone is interchangeably fixed to the adapter. This makes it possible to attach different Sonicskoni for different KEG barrels on the adapter, so that the treatment device can be easily adapted to different KEG barrels.
- the guide cone is formed as a multi-point guide crown, allowing for easy insertion of a KEG barrel with a handle ring and struts as the struts can then slide into the recesses between the tips of the guide crown.
- the tips of the guide crown are in a slightly different angular relationship with each other, to avoid that the very rare case occurs that set the struts of a handle ring of the keg when coupling the KEG barrel on the treatment device exactly on the tips of the crowns a further vertical movement and thus a complete coupling would be prevented.
- at least one tip is not arranged under a strut, wherein it should be noted here that the struts between the KEG flange and the grip ring are usually arranged equidistant.
- At least one of the tips of the guide crown is disposed at a different angular distance relative to the others.
- the tips are not located at an exact 90 ° angle, but at least one peak is then disposed at a relative angular distance to the adjacent peaks of 85 and 95 degrees, respectively.
- the result is that when the four 90 degree staggered struts of a handle usually the KEG barrel would run exactly onto the tips of the guide crown, in which case one of the struts engages slightly beside the tip and thus this tip is able to easily twist the guide cone so that the struts are now adjacent to the tips of the guide Guide Crown.
- all the tips can also be arranged at non-equidistant intervals on the guide crown.
- This deviation in the angular distance is preferably between 1 and 10 degrees, in particular between 1 and 5 degrees.
- the adapter is fixed in its operating position mounted on the treatment head by means of a clamping ring engaging in a clamping groove of the treatment head, wherein the clamping ring axially fixes at least a portion of the adapter.
- Fig. 1 is a vertical plan view of a KEG with KEG flange
- Fig. 2 is a partially sectioned side view of a
- Treatment device including adapter, an enlarged partially sectioned side view of a treatment device in the region of the adapter with a deviating from Figure 2 two-piece adapter,
- FIG. 4 is a plan view in the direction IV of FIG. 3,
- Fig. 5 is a partially sectioned side view of another embodiment of an adapter with integrated ball bearing
- Fig. 6 is a partially sectioned side view of another embodiment of an adapter with integrated air bearing.
- Fig. 1 shows a view of the top of a KEGs 10 with a KEG flange 1 1 and an octagonal handle ring 14, which is fixed with four struts 1 6 to the flange 1 1.
- a KEG valve 1 2 is arranged, which serves for connection to a treatment device according to the present invention or with a beverage dispenser.
- FIG. 2 shows, in a partially sectioned side view, a treatment device 40 with a receiving column 42 at the upper end of which a treatment head 44 is arranged.
- the treatment head 44 has on its upper side an upper coupling surface 45 for connection to an adapter 20.
- the receiving column 42 has an inner cavity 43, which with at least two Fluidzu- and transfers 46, 48 is connected.
- the cavity 43 terminates at the top in a connecting piece which is connected to the flange 1 1 or valve 1 2 of the KEG 10 by a vertical downward movement of the keg and / or upward movement of the receiving column 42.
- the adapter 20 has an annular adapter plate 23 on which by means of a ball bearing 22, a guide cone in the form of a guide crown 24 is rotatably mounted.
- the adapter 20 is fixed on the coupling surface 45 of the treatment head 44 by a clamping ring 27, which engages in a form-fitting manner around the bead-like outer extensions on the treatment head 44 as well as on the adapter plate 23.
- the clamping ring 27 is tightened by a clamping screw 29.
- the adapter plate 23 is sealed fluid-tight against the coupling surface to the inner cavity 43 through a ring seal 25.
- the guide crown 24 includes a plurality of tips 26, facing the inner cavity 43 of the treatment device 40 toward the central conical surfaces 28 from the top outwards towards the bottom inside obliquely and conically tapered towards each other.
- the tips 26 also have lateral sliding surfaces 30. These may be tilted with respect to the vertical central axis of the treatment device, preferably at an angle of 10 to 45 degrees.
- a vertical KEGs sit the struts 18 of the handle ring 14 between the tips 26 of the guide cone 24. If a strut 18 of the handle ring 14 of the KEG 10 hits a tip 26, this slides along the lateral sliding surface 30 or along at least one transition edge of at least one central Konsus composition 28 with a subsequent lateral sliding surface 30 and thereby rotates the guide crown 24 in a rotational position in which the struts 18 come to lie in the spaces between the tips 26.
- the central keg flange 1 1 itself is finally centered by the central conical surfaces 28 and guided into the ideal end position.
- the embodiment of the treatment device 40 according to the invention thus allows a simplified coupling of a KEG.
- Figs. 3 and 4 show in detail another embodiment of an adapter 20a, similar to that shown in Fig. 2. This adapter 20a can also be used in the treatment device 40 according to FIG. 2. In all figures functionally identical parts are provided with the identical reference numerals.
- the adapter 20 a contains a rotationally symmetrical receiving profile 21, which is rotatably mounted on the upper coupling surface 45 of the treatment head 44 by means of a ball bearing 22.
- the receiving profile 21 includes an inner tubular collar 47 which extends vertically below the upper end of the treatment head 44 formed by the upper coupling surface 45. Between the collar 47 and the inner wall of the treatment head 44 enclosing the inner cavity 43, a cylinder seal 49 may still be present, which prevents fluid from escaping from the intermediate space between the adapter 20 and the treatment head 44 and / or possibly into the ball bearing 22 entry.
- a ring portion 1 9 connects to the outside, on the underside of the ball bearing 22 is held and on the top of the guide crown 24 is attached.
- the guide crown 24 has a plurality of spaced-apart tips 26, which may be arranged equidistantly about the central axis, or slightly different therefrom. Due to the fact that the guide crown 24 is rotatably mounted on the treatment head 44, the struts 1 6 of the KEGs 1 0 can grip perpendicular to the guide crown 24 between the tips 26, so that the KEG valve 1 2 tight with the inner Cavity 43 of the treatment device 40 can be coupled.
- the tips 26 are here pointed upwards and have inclined side surfaces 30, which serve as sliding surfaces for sliding along the struts 1 6 of the KEG 1 0.
- the adapter 20a of Figures 3 and 4 can not be fixed by means of a clamping ring on the treatment head 44.
- the adapter 20a shown in Fig. 3 is shown in Fig. 4 in plan view.
- the receiving profile 21 and the guide cone 24 may be integrally formed, whereby the guide cone rotatably on the treatment head 44th would be stored.
- the adapter 20 would in this case be formed by the guide cone (21 and 24 integrated) itself.
- Fig. 5 shows an enlarged detail of another embodiment of an adapter 50.
- the adapter 50 has an S-shaped adapter ring 52 which is fixed by means of a clamping ring 27 on the upper coupling surface 45 of the treatment head 44. Between the upper coupling surface 45 and the S-ring 52, an annular seal 51 is arranged. The clamping ring 27 is tightened by a clamping screw 29, which adapter 50 is fixed to the treatment head 44.
- the S-ring 21 holds the outside of a ball bearing 22, the inside of which is fixed to a receiving sleeve 54 of the adapter 50.
- the receiving sleeve 54 carries on its upper side a sealing flange 56 for fluid-tight coupling of the KEG flange 1 first
- a guide crown 58 is fixed, which is formed substantially like the guide crown 24 of Figures 3 and 4.
- the ball bearing 22 is integrated in the adapter 50.
- FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of an adapter 60 which is substantially identical to that in FIG. 5.
- the ball bearing 22 of FIG. 5 is replaced by an air bearing 22a, which is formed by an air channel.
- the adapter 60 has an S-ring 62, which can be tensioned on the upper coupling surface 45 of the treatment head 44 by means of the clamping ring 27.
- the S-ring 62 has an inwardly projecting stop edge 63.
- a receiving sleeve 64 of the adapter 60 is rotatably arranged.
- At the lower end of the receiving sleeve 64 an inclined bearing surface 67 is formed, which cooperates with a formed in the upper coupling surface 45 of the treatment head 44 annular groove 69 to form an air channel 22a.
