Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling machine for filling containers.
  • Filling machines for filling containers are known in principle. They typically have a transport element which is driven to revolve around a vertical vertical axis and on which a large number of filling stations are provided. A filling element is arranged at a respective filling station, by means of which a controlled feeding of the filling material to be filled into the container is made possible. In particular, filling machines are known which have an output of more than 10,000 containers per hour, in particular more than 50,000 containers per hour.
  • free-jet filling machines are known in which the liquid filling material flows to the container to be filled in a free filling material jet in the direction of flow downstream of the liquid valve.
  • Very high filling capacities volume of the filled product per unit of time
  • attempts are increasingly being made to fill plastic containers, in particular PET bottles, as well as glass containers by means of free-jet filling.
  • volumetric measuring methods and measuring methods that directly determine the filling level inside the container to be filled are known.
  • the volumetric measuring method the volume of the filling material is measured before it is fed to the container to be filled, so that a defined volume of filling material is fed into it, regardless of the container volume.
  • volumetric measuring method or volumetric filling principle is not suitable for glass bottles, since the empty bottle volume in glass bottles is subject to strong fluctuations due to the production process and thus filling bottles with different empty bottle volumes with the same filling volume leads to different filling heights in the bottles. However, this is perceived by consumers as degrading. For this reason, glass bottles are mainly filled with level filling systems that measure the filling level in the container using probes or return gas tubes and, depending on this, activate the liquid valve. However, this leads to lower filling performance.
  • the light source is designed to emit light in the direction of the vertical axis of the container or essentially in the direction of the vertical axis of the container.
  • the light can be directed from below or from above onto the filling material in the container, which has a positive effect on the level detection in the container.
  • the light source is provided below the bottom of the container and/or the light source is provided in the area of the container mouth.
  • the lighting can be from above, from below or from one side or from both sides.
  • the underside lighting can, for example, be integrated into a container carrier (e.g. bottle plate). The result of this is that the container is advantageously illuminated for the level detection.
  • the light source is provided on the side of the filling element that faces the container mouth.
  • the light source can be integrated into the valve body of the filling valve contained in the filling element.
  • it can be provided in the housing of the filling element in such a way that light is emitted in the direction of the interior of the container.
  • the light source has a light guide which protrudes into the interior of the container via the container mouth and by means of which the light emitted by the light source can be supplied to the interior of the container.
  • the light guide can be provided at least in sections in the valve body of the liquid valve.
  • the light guide can, for example, protrude beyond the free end of the valve body downwards in the direction of the interior of the container and, for example, protrude through the container mouth into the latter.
  • the free end of the light guide can come to rest on the free end of the valve body.
  • the use of a light guide for the light supply means that the light-emitting element can be provided at a distance from the filling opening of the filling valve, which offers advantages with regard to the maintainability and construction of the filling machine.
  • the light source is designed to provide light with a wavelength in the visible range, in the infrared range or to provide light in the UV range.
  • a wavelength in the visible range in the infrared range or to provide light in the UV range.
  • the filling machine has a large number of filling elements which are provided on a transport element which is driven in a rotating manner. At least one optical detection means in the form of a camera is provided for each filling element, which is permanently assigned to the filling element and is moved along with it in a circumferential manner. As a result, a continuous fill level measurement, in particular at the end of the filling process, can be achieved which is independent of the rotational position of the transport element.
  • the light guide has a bundle of light-conducting fibers and the camera is designed to capture the image information supplied through the bundle of light-conducting fibers.
  • a light guide constructed in such a way that the image information can be transmitted through the light guide can be used. This enables an endoscope-like detection of the filling level in the container.
  • the light guide has at least a first light guide region for supplying light from a light source to the Container interior and at least a second light guide area for transmitting optical information from the container interior to the camera.
  • the second light guide area can be formed by a fiber bundle containing a large number of individual fibers.
  • the first and second light guide areas preferably run alongside one another, in particular parallel to one another.
  • the light guide runs at least in sections in the filling jet of the filling medium. For example, it protrudes from the underside of the valve body and dips into the interior of the container, for example.
  • the free end of the light guide facing the container to be filled is provided above the height level defining the desired fill level and at a distance from it, i.e. after the end of the filling process the free end of the light guide is at a distance from the level of the filling material. In this way, an exact filling level measurement can be achieved, since the light guide does not dip into the level of the filling material or the foam, even with foaming filling goods.
  • the light source is integrated in the filling element, in particular in the movably arranged valve body or in the housing of the filling element surrounding the valve body, and the optical sensor or camera is provided laterally next to the container to be filled.
  • the optical sensor or the camera can either move or be fixed.
  • a large number of filling elements are provided, which are designed to fill the container in a free jet. As a result, a high filling capacity can be achieved with precise level measurement at the same time.
  • a large number of filling elements are provided, which are designed to fill the containers in one process which the filling material is guided to the inner container wall via at least one flow guide element before or during the flow into the container, and thus flows as a thin filling material film to the container bottom.
  • the at least one flow guide element can be, for example, a swirl body or a radiation screen.
  • Containers within the meaning of the invention are in particular bottles, cans, barrels or other containers to be filled with a liquid product.
  • Optical sensor is understood to mean any sensor by means of which brightness values or light intensity values can be detected.
  • the term "camera” is understood to mean a measuring device by which two-dimensional image information (eg by a matrix-like sensor array) can be recorded.
  • the image information can in particular include light intensity values and/or color information.
  • free jet filling is understood to mean a filling process in which the liquid filling material flows towards the container to be filled from the liquid valve in a free filling jet or filling material jet, with the flow of the filling material not being restricted by guide elements such as deflector screens, swirl bodies, short or long filling tubes is influenced or changed. Jet filling can be done without pressure or under pressure. In the case of pressureless free-jet filling, the container is at ambient pressure, with the container mouth or opening generally not lying against the filling element, but rather being at a distance from the filling element or from a discharge opening provided.
  • a gas path establishes a connection between the interior of the container and the environment, which enables pressureless filling.
  • the gas contained in the container and displaced by the beverage flowing into the container also escapes into the environment via this gas path.
  • the free jet filling takes place under a pressure that deviates from the ambient pressure, the container is pressed with its mouth against the filling element and sealed, the pressure in the interior of the container is adjusted to this pressure, which differs from the ambient pressure, by applying a clamping gas or by applying a negative pressure , which can be both above and below the ambient pressure.
  • substantially or “approximately” in the context of the invention means deviations from the exact value in each case by +/-10%, preferably by +/-5% and/or deviations in the form of changes that are insignificant for the function.
  • Filling machines of the rotary type have a transport element on which a large number of filling stations, each with a filling element 1, are provided.
  • the containers 2 to be filled are fed to the filling machine in an upright position (container mouth aligned upwards) and picked up at a filling station in such a way that the container 2 is filled by the respective filling element 1 while the transport element is rotating.
  • the filled container is then removed from the filling station and transported in a suitable manner to the next processing station (e.g. capper).
  • FIG 1 shows schematically a filling element 1 of a filling machine according to a first embodiment.
  • a container 2 is arranged below a filling element 1 shown in section.
  • the filling element 1 consists, in a manner known per se, of a valve body 1.1 which is provided in a housing 1.2 so as to be axially displaceable in the vertical direction.
  • a valve seat is formed in the housing 2.1, so that when the valve body 1.1 rests against the valve seat, the liquid valve of the Filling element 1 is closed and the liquid valve is opened when the valve body 1.1 is lifted from the valve seat, so that filling material can enter the container 2.
  • the filling element 1 is designed in particular for free jet filling of the container 2 .
  • the filling of the container 2 can take place when the container mouth 2.2 rests against a sealing surface formed on the filling element 1 or when the container mouth 2.2 is at a distance from the filling element 1.
  • the filling machine is designed to detect the fill level inside the container 2 to be filled with optical detection means 4 .
  • the optical detection means 4 are provided laterally next to the container 2 to be filled, in particular in such a way that they detect the area in which the target filling height FS of the container 2 should lie.
  • the optical detection means 4 can in particular be formed by at least one optical sensor or by a camera.
  • the optical detection means 4 can either be stationary and/or moved along with the respective filling element 1 .
  • one or more optical detection means 4 can be provided circumferentially around the transport element having the plurality of filling elements 1, by means of which the fill level in the container 2 can be determined.
  • a detection means 4 can be permanently assigned to a filling element 1 and moved with it, so that the fill level in the container 2 can be measured during its movement.
  • a light source 3 is provided, by means of which light is emitted into the interior of the container.
  • the light source 3 is integrated into the valve body 1.1 or provided on it.
  • the light source 3 can also be provided in the area of the housing 1.2, in particular at the free end of the housing 1.2 facing the container 2. This ensures that the filling level measurement and the lighting of the interior of the container does not require a probe or the like protruding into the interior of the container, so that the entire free Cross section of the container mouth 2.2 is available for introducing the filling material.
  • FIG figure 2 shows a filling element 1 of a filling machine according to a second embodiment.
  • the structure of the filling machine according to the second embodiment is essentially identical to the structure of the embodiment described above. Therefore, only the differences between the exemplary embodiments are described below. Otherwise, the statements made above in relation to the first exemplary embodiment also apply to the embodiment according to FIG figure 2 .
  • the main difference of the embodiment according to figure 2 according to the embodiment figure 1 is that the light generated by the light source 3 is guided into the interior of the container by means of a light guide 3.1.
  • the light guide 3.1 preferably runs at least in sections within the valve body 1.1.
  • the light guide 3.1 can protrude downwards over the free end of the valve body 1.1 in the direction of the container 2, but still end within the housing 2.1, ie it cannot protrude beyond the container mouth 2.2 into the container interior.
