Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling element arrangement for filling containers with a liquid filling material according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a filling machine according to the preamble of patent claim 12.
  • Filling element arrangements and filling machines for filling bottles or similar containers, in particular for pressure and/or free jet filling, are already known in various designs.
  • a filling element of a filling system or a filling machine for filling cans or similar containers with a liquid filling material is known, with a filling element housing which has at least one discharge opening on a housing section for the controlled discharge of the filling material into the respective container, with a sealing tulip which is movable relative to the housing section in a filling element axis relative to the housing section between a raised position and a lowered position for a sealing position against an opening edge of the container, and with sealing means for sealing the transition between the sealing tulip and the filling element housing.
  • a filling element for filling cans or similar containers with a liquid filling material is known, with a filling element housing which has at least one dispensing opening on a housing section for the controlled dispensing of the filling material into the respective container, with a sealing tulip which is movable by means of at least one control means relative to the housing section parallel to the filling element axis relative to the housing section between a raised position and a lowered position in which the sealing tulip rests in a sealing position against an opening edge of the container, wherein the sealing tulip is connected by means of a first sealing element to the filling element housing for sealing the transition between the sealing tulip and the filling element housing and wherein the first sealing element is provided between the housing section and the control means.
  • the publication WO2016/169925 A1 a device is known in which the outer surfaces of the liquid channel of a container filling valve are enclosed by an elastically deformable element.
  • the elastically deformable element encloses the outer surfaces of the liquid channel with some distance, resulting in an annular cavity between the liquid channel and the elastically deformable element.
  • the technical teaching of the WO2016/169925 A1 proposes that the annular cavity is used as a return gas channel during the filling of containers.
  • a disadvantage of this, in itself extremely advantageous design is that the elastically deformable element, which essentially forms the outer wall of the return gas channel, can change its shape significantly in the event of pressure fluctuations, which has a detrimental effect on the filling process.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to show a filling element arrangement which enables a lifting and/or lowering movement between the raised and lowered position of the housing section that is significantly simplified compared to the prior art.
  • a filling element arrangement is designed according to the features of patent claim 1.
  • a filling machine is the subject of patent claim 12.
  • the respective subclaims relate to particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention.
  • the essential aspect of the present invention is that at least the expandable or displaceable housing wall section is formed from a first sealing element and a second sealing element provided for the first sealing element while leaving a gas-tight annular gap, wherein the gas-tight annular gap formed between the first and second sealing elements is used to introduce the controlled movement of the second filling element section can be subjected to a gaseous medium.
  • the solution according to the invention dispenses with an external transmission or initiation of the lifting movement by means of a pneumatic cylinder device and a lifting rod with a complex sealing of the rod movement, in that the lifting and/or lowering movement is initiated by applying a gaseous medium to the gas-tight annular gap provided according to the invention on the second filling element section.

  • the lower housing element can therefore advantageously be designed in one piece.
  • the filling element has at least one gas channel in the region of its upper housing element, which opens into the lower housing element in a fluid-tight manner and is provided for supplying the annular gap formed in the lower housing element with the gaseous medium.
  • the annular gap can be subjected to an overpressure in order to initiate a lowering movement of the second filling element housing section into its lowered position.
  • the annular gap can also be subjected to a negative pressure in order to initiate a lifting movement of the second filling element housing section into its raised position.
  • the second filling element housing section can have a first system side facing the mouth opening and a system side facing away from the mouth opening, wherein a sealing device can be provided on the second system side.
  • At least one guide device can be provided for vertically guiding the second filling element section between the raised and the lowered position along the filling element axis.

  • the free jet filling can take place in a manner known to those skilled in the art both without pressure and under pressure.
  • the respective container 3 to be filled has ambient pressure during the filling process, wherein the container 3 generally does not rest with its container mouth or opening on the filling element 2, but is spaced apart from the filling element 2 or from a provided discharge opening 17.
