Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for filling containers, in particular glass bottles under pressure with a transport element, which rotates in particular circular, which transport element receiving stations with Be fiscalerauf- has for the container, wherein in the conveying region of the transport element, a supply and discharge device for Supply and removal of the container is arranged in the container receptacles of the receiving stations.
- the container receptacle of a receiving station is arranged below an associated filling element.
- the Fül lelement is adjustable by means of a first Flubmechanismus in the vertical direction to adjust the filling device to different container sizes can.
- a shielding arrangement e.g. in the form of at least one separating plate which at least partially surrounds the container in a protective position. This is necessary because, e.g. A hot filling of C02-containing beverages at pressures of 7.5 bar can take place, which can lead to material defects of the container, in particular the glass bottle to bursting, which can be destroyed without shielding adjacent bottles.
- the shielding arrangement is connected to the filling element, for example attached to this. If the filling element is thus adjusted to different bottle sizes, ie moved up or down, the separating plate is either too long or too short. A disadvantage of this known technique is thus that the shielding arrangement can not effectively shield all bottle or container sizes.
- the shielding arrangement contains separating plates which are adapted to the smallest bottle, so that they do not collide with other elements of the transport element, for example the container receptacle.
- Another solution is the use of multi-part size-adjustable dividers. However, these are difficult to clean, especially in the connection region of the mutually adjustable parting sheet metal parts and are therefore problematic from a hygienic point of view. It is an object of the present invention to provide a filling device of the type mentioned above, which reliably shields the containers regardless of their size during filling.
- the shielding arrangement can be adjusted relative to the filling element. In this way, the shielding arrangement is decoupled from the filling element. If the filling element is thus adjusted to its size at the beginning of the filling of a new bottle type by means of the first flub mechanism, the shielding arrangement is no longer coupled to it.
- the screening arrangement can be set to a new container size relative to the filling element and, if necessary, container receptacle in a manner, e.g. can be adjusted and / or rotated vertically, that the shielding arrangement at least partially, preferably completely surrounds the container in the filling position, but on the other hand does not collide with other parts of the filling device.
- the container is covered in the filling device to the outside, so that when a bottle bursting during the filling process no splinters can fly away at least from the filling device and possibly employees suffer damage. In a round filling machine, this would be radially outward.
- the separating plate is at least partially circular in such a way that it also shields the container, in particular the bottle, laterally against adjacent containers.
- the shielding arrangement can be suspended on an upper support element of the filling device, and the filling element is adjusted vertically such that the shielding arrangement in the filling position of the container, ie when the bottle mouth is in close contact with the filling element of the filling element, down to the container - terage protrudes.
- the pressing of the container against the filling member is then over realized a lower lifting mechanism of the container receptacle in the context of each filling process.
- the separating plate is no longer coupled to the filling element. In this way it can be adjusted independently of this in the context of the setting of the filling device to a container size. Therefore, no size-adjustable shielding arrangement for shielding of different sized containers is required, but the shielding arrangement, for example a separating plate, can be selected in a size which completely shields the largest containers to be filled.
- the shielding arrangement used is ideally a one-piece separating plate which is more hygienic than a multi-part separating plate which had to be used in the prior art in order to shield containers of different sizes. This reduces the Fier einsexcellent, the cleaning costs and is more hygienic overall.
- the shielding arrangement and the container receptacle or filling element are adjustable relative to one another via an adjusting mechanism, the adjusting mechanism being designed to change the relative position of the container receptacle / filling element and the shielding arrangement in the region of the supply / removal device from a protective position to a release position ,
- a release of the containers from the transport element can take place here in that the relative position of the shielding arrangement and container receiving / filling element is changed by the adjusting mechanism in the area of the supply or removal device such that the containers are released ,
- Such a movement may be, for example, a movement of the shielding arrangement between the shielding arrangement and the container receptacle or a rotational movement of the shielding arrangement relative to the receptacle receptacle, in particular if the shielding arrangement is or comprises a partially circular dividing panel.
- the shielding arrangement or the separating plate of a receiving station is then in a protective position in which it surrounds the container at least in such a way that other containers are not damaged during a bursting of the container during the pressure filling process.
- the shielding arrangement contains or is a separating plate in the form of a partial circle or a full circle, which surrounds the container at least partially or completely around at least outwards. In this way, a space-saving but optimally shielding the container shielding arrangement is realized, which causes an effective protection of the space surrounding the round filling machine and the bottles to each other.
- the term "partially circular” or “circular” here refers to the cross-sectional profile of the cylindrical separating plate. In this case, a polygonal structure should also be understood as being able to be understood.
- the actuating mechanism can be designed as at least one second flub mechanism, which changes the vertical distance between the container receptacle and the shielding arrangement. It is possible in this case to either raise the shielding arrangement and to keep the container receptacle at the same level of fleas or to keep the shielding arrangement at the same level of fleas and to lower the container receptacle. It can also be combined with the downward movement of the container receptacle, the upward movement of the shielding arrangement, whereby the travel paths of the two elements can be kept smaller.
- the vertical movement of the shielding arrangement and / or the container receptacle in the region of the supply / discharge device makes it possible for the containers to be released from the shielding arrangement and thus transferred into or removed from the transporting element.
- the adjusting mechanism may be designed as a rotation mechanism, which rotates the shielding arrangement about a vertical axis above the center of the container receptacle, in particular when it is designed as a part-circular separating plate. The separating plates can thus be rotated in the filling area into a protective position, while they are rotated in the area of the supply / discharge device into a release position.
- the adjusting mechanism is formed as at least a second Flubmechanismus
- this may comprise at least one actuating cylinder to the relative Changing the position of the container receptacle and the shielding arrangement and / or a linear drive.
- the shielding arrangement and / or the container receptacle is guided on a vertical guide, so that they can easily be moved relative to one another by the at least one second lifting mechanism.
- the second lifting mechanism is coupled to a return gas pipe, which can be adjusted independently of the filling element, in order to simultaneously effect its vertical movement. In this way, fewer components are required for adjusting the different elements of the filling device, since the return gas pipe and the shielding arrangement can be actuated by a common lifting mechanism.
- the lifting mechanisms of the filling device can in particular be designed as hydraulic or pneumatic adjusting cylinders or as linear drives. Such drives are reliable and inexpensive.
- the invention also relates to a method for filling containers in a filling device with a moving transport element, in particular a circulating transport element of a round filling machine.
- a moving transport element in particular a circulating transport element of a round filling machine.
- it may also be a linear transport element with a corresponding conveying mechanism, e.g. revolving conveyor element, act.
- the transport element has receiving stations with container receptacles for the containers and in the conveying area of the transport element at least one supply / discharge device for the supply and removal of the containers is arranged in / from the transport element.
- Such an infeed / outfeed device is preferably formed from an inlet star and an outlet star.
- Each container receptacle for example an adjusting plate, is arranged in a receiving station below an associated filling element, wherein the filling element can be adjusted vertically by means of a first lifting mechanism for adaptation to containers of different sizes.
- Each receiving station comprises at least one shielding tion, usually at least one baffle, which surrounds the container when filling in a protective position at least partially.
- the position of the shielding arrangement relative to the filling element is changed to adjust the filling device to a new type of container of a different size.
- the relative position of the shielding arrangement to the filling element is therefore adjustable so that the shielding arrangement completely covers the container when the container is in contact with the filling element of the filling element, for example extends down to the container receptacle.
- the relative position between the shielding arrangement and the container receptacle is moved between the protective position and a release position by an adjusting mechanism, in particular in the region of the supply and discharge device.
- an adjusting mechanism in particular in the region of the supply and discharge device.
- the shielding arrangement and the container receptacle are moved and / or rotated vertically relative to each other between the protective position and the release position by the adjusting mechanism.
- a container can be brought from the protective position of the shielding arrangement or of the separating plate into its release position, so that it can be transferred into the transport element in the area of the supply / discharge device or can be removed therefrom.
- the method is advantageously carried out in conjunction with a filling device of the type mentioned above.
- the invention makes particular sense rule for glass bottles, which can rupture due to material defects or thermal stresses in a pressure filling with CO 2, the broken pieces may then possibly lead to bursting or breaking of the adjacent bottles. Due to the inventive design of the filling device, this is effectively prevented, for all bottle sizes.

- Fig. 2 shows the device 10 of Fig. 1 in section.
- the filling elements 16 are vertically adjustable via an associated upper lifting mechanism 24, such as, for example, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
- This upper lifting mechanism 24 represents the first lifting mechanism, by means of which the filling element 16 is pressed tightly against the bottle mouth.
- the container receptacle 18 is adjustable via the lower lifting mechanism 20, which forms the adjusting mechanism for the protective and release position of the separating plate 22.
- the lower or second lifting mechanism is likewise designed here as a hydraulic or pneumatic actuating cylinder or electric spindle drive.
- the bottle 14 On the right side of Fig. 2, the bottle 14 is shown in the filling position, wherein in this filling position, the bottle 14 is completely surrounded by the separating plate 22 in the protective position.
- the separating plate 22 preferably has a circular-cylindrical or partially circular-cylindrical form. On the left side, the release position of the separating plate 22 is shown in the area of transfer to the supply / discharge device 23, in which the bottle 14 is released from the separating plate 22 so far that it is inserted into the transport element 11 or out the transport element 1 1 can be removed. Normally, with the round filling machine 10, also beverage feeds, gas feeds and possibly the corresponding raw material containers are arranged or connected.
- FIG. 3 the interaction of rotating transport element 1 1 and supply / discharge device 23 is shown in more detail.
- the supply / discharge device 23 accordingly contains an inlet star 60 and an outlet star 62, via which the glass bottles 14 are transferred into or removed from the circulating transport element 11.
- the feed takes place via a transport screw 64.
- the at least partially circular dividers 22 are arranged relative to the container receptacle 18 in the protective position, wherein they cover the bottles 14 at least to the outside.
- the bottles 14 are surrounded by the separating sheets 22 in such a way that, when a bottle 14 bursts during the filling process, the broken pieces are not thrown into adjacent bottle positions, so that they can not destroy the adjacent bottles 14.
- the bottles are completely in the release position, where they can be transferred by means of the inlet star 60 to the transport element 11 or can be removed therefrom by means of the outlet star 62.
- the shielding arrangement or parting plates are moved relative to one another between the protective position and the release position, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 4. The relative movement takes place, for example, by a movement of the container receptacle and / or the separating plate and / or by a rotational movement of the separating plate.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a peripheral filling machine 10 similar to FIG. 1.
- the container receptacle 18 is in turn adjustable via the lower or second flub mechanism 20 between a raised position h1 and a lowered position h2 in the area of the feed / discharge device 23.
- the filling machine 10 has a second upper lifting mechanism 31, in which the separating plates 22 are provided with runners or guide rollers 32 which roll along a fixed ramp 34 of the filling machine 10, which is arranged in the region of the supply / discharge device 23.
- the separating plates 22 in the region of the supply / discharge device 23 are raised by a height difference Ah by means of the second upper lifting mechanism 31, so that the bottles 14, 14a can be supplied there or removed. Also in this figure small bottles 14 are again shown on the left side, while on the right side large bottles 14a are shown, which is intended to illustrate that different bottle sizes can be filled without remodeling on a filling machine 10, without the dividing plates 22 rebuild. Only the stroke of the second lower lift mechanism 20 or the second upper lift mechanism 31 needs to be adjusted accordingly, which is a matter of machine control. A Hardware modification is not necessary. 5 again shows the cross-sectional view of the device from FIG. 4.
- the lower and upper second lifting mechanisms 20, 31 form in FIGS. 4 and 5 the adjusting mechanism for the protective position and release position of the separating plate 22.
- Figs. 6 and 7 show further embodiments of receiving stations 12a, e.g. for the rotary machine 10 as e.g. is described in Figs. 1 to 5.
- the container receptacle 18 is vertically adjustable via a lower lifting mechanism 49 and thus from below against a sealing flange of the filling element 16 can be pressed.
- the lower lifting mechanism 49 thus assumes the function of the first lifting mechanism, by means of which a connection and detachment of the bottle 14 and filling element 16 is realized. By actuation of the lower lifting mechanism 49 thus simultaneously the pressing and sealing function of the bottle mouth is ensured at the filling element of the filling element 16.
- a first adjusting cylinder 40 Arranged on the filling element 16 or a structural part 50 of the filling machine 10 connected to it is a first adjusting cylinder 40, which in turn moves a second actuating cylinder 42 in its vertical position, on whose actuating piston 43 the separating plate 22b is held.
- the retaining member 44 for the return gas pipe is biased on the actuating piston 43 by means of a helical spring 47 against an upper first stop 41, wherein the movement play is limited relative to the actuating piston 43 downwardly by a lower first stop 45.
- the separating plate 22b At the lower end of the actuating piston 43, the separating plate 22b is attached.
- the first actuating cylinder 40 carries at its lower end a second stop 51 which limits the play of the holding member 44 down.
- the height position of this second stop 51 is dependent on the operating height of the first Stellzylin DERS 40 and determines the maximum immersion depth of the return gas pipe 46 in the Fla cal 14, based on the interaction between the holding part 44 and the second stop 51st
- This embodiment is used in filling systems with a filling height determination via the return gas pipe 46.
- the return gas pipe 46 must be inserted into the bottle for this purpose. retracted muzzle, which is done by a corresponding actuation of the first and second actuating cylinder 40, 42.
- the required stroke of the lower lifting mechanism 49 in short-tube filling systems at about 120 mm and Langrohr Strukturllsystemen at up to 250 mm.
- the required lifting movement of the lower lifting mechanism 49 also causes the bottles 14 can be retracted from below between the baffles 22b. This leads to an optimal coverage of a bottle 14 with respect to the neighboring bottle 14 and thus to a good protection against the flight of fragment fragments in bursting bottles.
- the maximum length of the separating plates 22b downward is limited by the height of the bottle guide curve between inlet and outlet star 60, 62 of the supply / discharge device 23. It must be ensured that the separating plates 22b pass over this supply / discharge device 23 during the rotation of the transport element or filler gyro 11.
- this problem is counteracted by the fact that the return gas pipe 46 does not even enter the bottle 14 prior to pressing the bottle 14 against the filling element 16 via the lower lifting mechanism 49 by actuating the first and / or second setting cylinder 40, 42 immersed, so that the subsequent immersion depth at the hub does not have to be considered.
- the stroke of the bottle 14 by means of the lower lifting mechanism 49 therefore no longer has to exceed the immersion length of the return gas pipe and can therefore be short (eg 10-25 mm) in order to press and seal the bottle mouth to the filling member 59 of the filling element 16.
- the filling height-determining return gas pipe 46 is thus retracted into the mouth after pressing the bottle 14 against the filling element 16 via a corresponding actuation of the first and second actuating cylinders 40, 42.
- the first and second actuating cylinders 40, 42 thus form the adjusting mechanism which moves the separating plate 22b vertically upwards and downwards, independently of the actuation of the first lifting mechanism 49, which is the lower lifting mechanism 20.
- the immersion depths of the return gas pipe 46 is limited in the bottle 14.
- the separating plate 22 b can be further moved against the force of the coil spring 47 by means of the actuating piston 43 down to the rightmost position of the separating plate 22 b, which shows the lower end position of the actuating piston 43 when the holding part 44 on the stop 51 of the first actuating cylinder 40 and additionally the helical spring 47 is pressed completely together. This also represents the lowest position of the separating plate 22b.
- the two left-hand representations show positions with a greater immersion depth based on a lower actuating position of the first actuating cylinder 40 and corresponding to the second stop 51.
- the position of the first actuating cylinder 40 is raised in contrast, so that the maximum Immersion depth is correspondingly lower due to the opposite of the bottle 14 higher second stop 51.
- the baffle 22b can be lowered almost all the way down against the container receptacle 18.
- FIG. 7 shows an embodiment similar to FIG. 6, left in the area of the supply / discharge device and release position of the separating plate 22c and on the right in the filling position and thus in the protective position of the separating plate 22c.
- the filling element 16 is attached to a structural part 50 of the rotary frame 17 of the round filling machine 10, as in FIG.
- the structural part 50 contains, for example, the product supply line 53 to the filling element 16.
- a first actuating cylinder 52 is held, which moves a second actuating cylinder 54 in its vertical position.
- piston 55 ie at the lower end of a support member 56 is attached.
