Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for pressure filling containers.
- Filling devices of this type primarily beverage filling machines for pressure filling containers, predominantly circular filling machines, contain a multiplicity of filling stations with filling elements which have filling valves with sealing elements for pressure-tight contact of the filling element with a container mouth.
- Circular filling machines of this type are provided with a splinter guard, which often have a stationary clamping zone cladding surrounding the rotor and / or dividing plates rotating radially and vertically with the rotor to reduce the uncontrolled flying of broken glass.
- the glass breakage can occur when filling containers made of glass, which, due to the contents, must be filled at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure.
- carbonated drinks such as soft drinks or mineral water with C0 2 components.
- the necessary filling pressure is usually approx. 0.5 bar above the saturation pressure of the C0 2 . Glass bottles to be filled are filled at 5.5 - 6.0 bar.
- the empty glass bottles are pressed into the filling valve of the filling element of each filling station after they have run in and pre-stressed to the necessary saturation pressure of the beverage to be filled.
- the corresponding range is called the clamping range.
- the filling machines are currently equipped with clamping zone cladding made of sheet metal in the stationary outdoor area and with separating sheets attached to the rotor between the filling stations in the rotating carousel area.
- the disadvantage here is that the rigid shape generally limits pieces of glass flying around, but cannot influence the strong scatter of the subsequent fragments.
- the object is achieved by a device according to claim 1.
- the device according to the invention for filling containers with pressure has a large number of filling stations with filling elements which have sealing elements for pressure-tight contact of the filling element with a container mouth.
- the device contains a splinterguard facing the filling station, at least in the clamping area, which has at least one support wall and at least one absorption element fastened to the support wall and facing the filling element.
- the absorption element contains at least one resiliently deflectable section for reducing the kinetic energy of the flying glass fragments.
- a spring-elastic deflectable is a section whose deflection corresponds to a linear-elastic behavior according to Hooke's law, and in which the deflection path is at least 0.2 mm, preferably at least 0.5 mm. In this way it is ensured that a glass splinter that jumps off when a bottle bursts releases much of its kinetic energy onto the section when it hits the deflectable section, thereby drastically reducing the risk of further splintering or bouncing off and further flying around in the filling area.
- the sections could in principle be formed by rigid sheets, which e.g. by means of compression springs, for example helical springs, are pretensioned against the supporting wall, so that when a splinter hits it they are briefly deflected towards the outer wall and thereby reduce the kinetic energy of the splitter.
- compression springs for example helical springs
- the sections consist of metal, in particular spring steel.
- spring steel In this way, no additional spring-elastic elements such as compression springs, coil springs or spiral springs are required, but the spring steel sections themselves form the elastically resettable elements that absorb the kinetic energy of the flying fragments.
- the sections are preferably rectangular with a longer and a shorter side, in particular being fastened on their shorter side to the supporting wall or to a wall structure provided parallel to the supporting wall, which serves to accommodate the resiliently deflectable sections.
- the elastic sections are held on a wall structure or formed by a wall structure that is parallel to the Carrying wall arranged and preferably connected to this, for example, is held on this.
- the wall structure can be screwed to the supporting wall, for example.
- the wall structure with the resilient sections which thus forms the absorption element, can thus simply be unscrewed from the supporting wall for cleaning and fastened to it again.
- a releasable attachment of the wall structure to the supporting wall is provided, for example with a screw connection.
- the wall structure preferably consists of a particularly resilient material and is formed in one piece with the sections, the sections being formed from the wall structure by a cutting or punching process.
- a spring steel sheet can be provided with slot and / or U-shaped punchings or cuts, as a result of which the spring-elastic sections arise in the spring steel sheet, which can be deflected as a whole in relation to the elastic behavior of the spring steel with respect to the wall structure.
- Such a wall structure forming the absorption element is thus easy to produce and is furthermore not very susceptible to contamination. By dividing it into many smaller, easily deflectable sections, such a wall structure is able to efficiently reduce the kinetic energy of a striking glass splinter. The punchings and / or cuts are distributed as evenly as possible over the wall structure in order to form deflectable sections of the same size.
- the sections are preferably designed as elongated lamellae, which preferably extend in the horizontal or vertical direction. These slats are preferably connected to the wall structure or the supporting wall on their narrow end side and thus have a long area in which they are able to intercept flying fragments and to reduce their kinetic energy in accordance with their deflection.
- the splinterguard preferably comprises a stationary clamping zone cladding and / or separating plates arranged between the filling stations. The filling machine is shielded either from the outside and / or between the filling stations.
- the absorption element in the partition plates is preferably arranged on both sides of the supporting wall, so that it can shield the splinters from the two adjacent filling stations at the same time.
- the device is designed as a round filling machine with a rotor axis and many filling stations arranged around the rotor axis, at least some of the spring-elastically deflectable sections being designed as segmenting plates pointing towards the rotor axis and concentrically on one Clamping zone cladding extending around the rotor axis and surrounding the clamping area of the rotor is fastened, so that splinter protection is achieved in a simple manner, which also effectively prevents movement of the splinters in the circumferential direction.
- the segmenting plates, but also the outer wall segments can preferably consist of spring steel in one layer.
- the support structure is then identical to the spring-elastic wall structure.
- These single-layer segmentation sheets (outer wall segments) thus integrate load-bearing as well as impact-absorbing properties.
- the wall structure is preferably held detachably on the supporting wall, for example by screw connections or snap connections, so that they can be exchanged, inspected or cleaned with little effort.
- the supporting wall preferably consists of at least one, in particular vertically extending, metal sheet (outer wall) which, for example in a circular filling machine, concentrically surrounds the rotor and thus shields the filling elements arranged in the filling stations from the outside.
- the metal sheet or several metal sheets screwed together to form a supporting wall form an outer wall and are preferably structured smoothly and are therefore easy to close from the outside clean.
- they carry connecting elements, such as holes for receiving screws or connecting elements of a snap connection, in order in this way to be able to fasten the wall structure or the spring-elastic deflectable sections directly thereon. They also serve to fasten radially extending segmentation sheets.
- the wall structure and the supporting wall preferably form a double wall construction, the wall structure being held at a distance from the supporting wall, so that the resilient sections can deflect when a splinter hits, without the Touching the bulkhead
- the distance should therefore be greater than the maximum expected deflection of the spring-elastic sections when a large splinter hits it.
- the splinterguard preferably surrounds each filling station as completely as possible, which can be achieved by providing a stationary clamping protection cladding in the clamping area of the filling machine and by providing separating plates between the filling stations. In this way, broken glass cannot break into neighboring filling stations or the work area around the filling machine when a bottle breaks.
- the device is designed in particular as a round filling machine, in which the filling stations are arranged equidistantly on an outer ring area of the rotor of the round filling machine. Such a round filling machine allows high Abglallleistun conditions.
- the splinter protection can be implemented simply in the form of a stationary clamping zone cladding in the clamping area (segment) of the filling machine or in the form of separating plates which extend radially between the filling stations.
- the filling stations are thus completely surrounded by splinter protection in the clamping area.
- a break in a bottle in a filling station does not affect the neighboring filling stations or the work area surrounding the filling machine.
- the splinterguard in a round filling machine is arranged stationary only in the angular range of the round filling machine in which the bottles are pre-stressed and pressure filled (clamping range), i.e.
- the supporting wall can either be attached to a fixed structure such as a floor or a frame of the round filling machine or to brackets which are in turn connected to the frame of the filling machine or to a fastening structure of the filling machine.
- the wall structure consists of flexibly arranged metal sheets, primarily of spring steel 1.4310, primarily of stainless material, in which the spring-elastic sections are integrated in such a way that they react flexibly when glass fragments strike, in order to absorb the impact energy and thus the Prevent further multiple splintering of the glass fragments.
- the otherwise high, small, individual fragments are drastically reduced and as a result, operational and product safety increases.
- the sections can be formed by the wall structure itself, in particular if the wall structure is subdivided into smaller, more easily movable sections by punching or cutting.
- This wall structure can be provided both on the stationary clamping zone cladding and on the separating plates arranged between the filling stations.
- a partition which is arranged at right angles to the filling valve adjacent to the bottom is often welded to the vertical part of the separating plate.
- spring steel sheets in quality 1.4310 are easy to weld and deform.
- the elements used for splinter protection can be reduced to a few standard parts, the installation of which can be individually adapted.
- the material 1.4310, X10CrNi188 has proven to be advantageous for the wall structure or the sections of the splinterguard.
- the stability of the separating plates has a decisive influence on the function of the filling machine.
- Parameters for the manufacture of the filling machine are, for example, the division of the machine (also called PI division), bottle diameter, protrusion of the separating plates beyond the dividing circle of the filling machine in the radius, separating plate thickness, dividing circle diameter of the filler carousel, diameter of the push-in and push-out wheels are related - to each other and must be matched to the bottle contour to be processed.
- the separating plates should therefore preferably be aligned vertically and radially and preferably be equidistant from the filling stations.
- the separating plates can be made thinner than currently, since the spring action of the sections supports restoring movements after a glass breakage.
- the contour cuts are made in such a way that they are primarily bent up against the incoming bottle.
- the incoming bottle is prevented from hitting the bent, blunt edge of the bending contour.
- the combination of flexible or rigid elements is also part of the claim.
- the connection and installation can also be carried out differently.
- the structure of the stationary clamping zone cladding mainly contains two main components:
- the first component is formed by support plates (support walls) extending in the circumferential direction of the filling machine in the form of an outer wall with absorption elements facing the filling machine in the form of wall structures with integrated spring-elastic sections.
- the clamping zone cladding has segmenting plates which extend radially inwards, but which do not reach the area of the rotor.
- These spaced apart segmentation plates which are preferably fastened to the support plate of the outer wall, are intended to prevent splinters from moving in the circumferential direction of the rotor of the filling machine.
- These segmentation plates are preferably arranged at a distance of 15 cm to 50 cm from one another and preferably consist of a support plate with mutually orderly resilient wall structures which have integrally formed resilient sections. With their side edge facing away from the filling machine, the semi-animal sheets preferably abut the support sheet of the outer wall.
- connection to the sealed outer wall (sheet metal cladding) which is sealed off from the outside allows elastic deformation when glass fragments strike, due to its resilient wall structure.
- the dimensions of the support plate and wall structure are to be selected so that jamming of glass fragments during reshaping is largely avoided, but the deflection of the sections is still guaranteed.
- a cleaning arrangement with nozzles can be provided in the area of the splinterguard, which sprinkles the components of the splinterguard with a water-jet pressure jet and thus cleans from stuck glass fragments.
- This cleaning arrangement with its nozzles is preferably aimed at the resilient sections or at least one wall structure of the splinterguard.
- supporting wall - supporting plate Outer wall - supporting wall of the stationary instep protection cladding; Support wall - smooth metal sheets with fastenings for resilient wall structures or sections and / or segmented sheets; Segmentation sheets - radially extending parts of the stationary instep protection cladding that are spaced apart, preferably with elastic wall structures on both sides; Wall structure - resilient sheet with cuts and / or punchings for subdivision into separately deflectable resilient sections;
- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a round filling machine with an arrangement of the splinterguard in the prestressing and pressure loading area of the bottles,
- FIG. 2 shows a segment for forming the splinterguard from FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows a detail of the segment from FIG. 2,
- Fig. 4 shows a flat segment to form a splinterguard in a linear
- FIG. 5 shows a detail from FIG. 4 in a perspective view
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of the planar segment of Fig. 4 with two foldings for splinter protection
- Fig. 7 is a divider structure of a circular filling machine for separating the filling stations from each other.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the filling device according to the invention in the form of a round filling machine 10 which has a rotor 12 which rotates about a rotor axis X and which has a multiplicity of filling stations 14 which are spaced equidistantly over the circumference.
- Each filling station 14 contains a filling element 16 which can be brought into a pressure-tight connection with a bottle to be filled or with another printable container, in particular a glass bottle.
- the rotor 12 rotates in the direction A.
- the filling machine 10 further comprises an inlet star 18 and an outlet star 20, with which containers are transferred to the filling stations 14 and removed therefrom.
- the angular range in which the containers are pre-stressed and filled under pressure ie the clamping range B.
- the circular filling machine 10 contains a splinter guard 19 comprising a stationary clamping protection cladding 22 surrounding the rotor 12 in the clamping area B, which is to prevent splinters from bursting when the Fly containers under pressure into the environment.
- the tension protection cladding 22 is preferably constructed from individual outer wall segments 24a-d which are connected to one another at their side edges 26 and thus cover the entire angular range B on the outside.
- the Tension protection cladding 22 further comprises spaced-apart stationary segmenting plates 40a to 40e, which extend radially from the outer wall segments 24a-d in the direction of the rotor and serve to prevent splinter discharge in the circumferential direction.
- the segmenting plates 40a to 40e are preferably fastened to the outer wall segments 24a-d.
- the splinterguard 19 further contains partition walls 21 which are arranged between the filling stations and rotate with the rotor 12. They separate the filling stations 14 from one another and ensure that splinters do not reach the area of neighboring filling stations 14.
- the outer wall segments 24a-d forming the tension protection cladding 22 are shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Each outer wall segment 24a-d contains a supporting wall 30 made of a smooth metal sheet, which is fastened to the frame of the filling machine 10 with a folding 32.
- Each supporting wall 30 has fastening points 34 for the screw fastening of at least one wall structure 36, which is formed from at least one spring plate, into which elongated 39 and U-shaped 37 cuts are cut or punched out, so that smaller sections 38, 41 are formed, which are preferably connected to the wall structure 36 at a narrow end 40.
- the wall structure 36 is subdivided into a plurality of spring-elastic, separately deflectable sections 38, 41 which, when a splinter hits, lead to a deflection of the corresponding spring-elastic section 38, 41 and thus to a reduction in its kinetic energy.
- This ensures that the working area is effectively protected on the one hand and on the other hand that flying parts are prevented from negatively influencing the filling process in neighboring containers.
- the advantage over known plastic absorption elements is that the resilient sections are elastically deformable and move back completely to their original position after a splinter hits. The lifespan of the wall structure containing the resilient sections is thus considerably longer than in the case of known polymeric absorption elements.
- each outer wall segment 24a-d further contains segmentation plates 40a-e, which extend radially in the direction from the outer wall segments 24a-d extend the rotor axis X and reach up to the rotor 12.
- segmentation plates 40a-e are also made of spring steel and contain deflectable, spring-elastic sections 38, 41, which are likewise formed by linear and U-shaped cuts 39, 37 in the segmenting plates 40a-e.
- the segmenting plates 40 contain fastening eyelets 42 with which they can be fixed to the outer wall segments 30 by means of screw or snap connections 34.
- segmentation plates consist entirely of spring steel means that they are elastically deformable per se and thus form a section which can be deflected by elastic means without further subdivision. If the segmentation plate 40a-3 has, for example, a plurality of horizontally running incisions, it is easier for individual sections formed in this way to be deflected when a splinter hits. Thus, in the case of such a segmentation plate, the formation of individual, spring-elastically deflectable sections can be realized by providing such cuts, in particular from the free end. In the case of the segmented sheets, the supporting wall is virtually integrated with the wall structure.
- FIG. 4 shows a splinter protection segment analogous to FIG. 2, which, however, is not curved, but rather flat and thus serves to shield a linear filling section. Elements identical to FIG. 2 are provided with identical reference numerals.
- the side edges 26 of the planar support wall segment 52 are flanged by 90 degrees and have recesses 56, so that planar splinter protection segments 50 can be connected to one another at their side edges 26, for example via screw connections. In this way, linear splinter protection lines of any length can be formed.
- the planar splinter protection segment 50 furthermore contains a lower edge 58 flanged by 90 degrees, which gives the splinter protection segment 50 greater stability.
- FIG. 6 shows an assembled flat splinter protection segment from FIG. 4, which is fastened to the frame of a linear filling machine with two foldings 60a, 60b.
- FIG. 7 shows an arrangement of radially extending separating plates 21 which are attached indirectly to the rotor 12 of the filling machine 10 between the filling stations 14 by means of a support structure 60 and directly by means of fastening elements 62.
- Each partition 21 is made of spring steel and is solely U-shaped Sections 37 are divided into horizontally extending elongated sections 38 and 41, which can separately elastically deform upon impact with a glass splinter in order to take away the kinetic energy from the splitter.
- the filling stations are thus also separated from one another, so that if a bottle breaks, no fragments can get into adjacent filling stations 14.
