Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば調味液、洗剤、薬剤などの液体を容器に充填する流体充填装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の流体充填装置において、充填処理能力を高める場合は次の方法がとられていた。すなわち、(a)充填ノズル(ヘッド)の単位時間当たり充填量を多くする。(b)充填装置1台あたりの充填ノズル(ヘッド)の数を増やす。
【0003】
(a)の方法では、管路が細いまま充填スピードをあげると、泡立ち、液の飛び跳ねが発生し、そのため容器や充填機を汚染する不具合が発生するため、流量に併せて管路の径を太くして単位時間当たりの充填量を大きくする必要があった。管路の径を太くして充填装置の処理能力を高める方法に関しては特許文献1に開示されている。
【0004】
特許文献1では、充填液を遮断するバルブ部からノズル部までに存在する充填液の液垂れを防止するため、ノズル部分に液体が通過するメッシュを配置し、メッシュ孔の表面張力で充填終了時の液垂れを防止していた。
【0005】
しかし、繊維質の具材を含む充填液などは、メッシュ部に目詰まりを起こす為利用できない問題があった。
【0006】
一方、(b)の方法では、充填装置の部品点数が増加し、又大型化するためコストアップと、スペースの確保が必要となる問題があった。

流体充填終了時には、前記計量検出手段により確認して前記中子ロッド部が上方に移動し中子ロッド先端の流体が液垂れを起こさないように凹部の中子ロッドヘッドを形成するように自動的に前記エア供給通路へのエア供給を停止させるエア停止手段とを少なくとも備えるコンピュータ制御部を備える事を特徴とする。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を以下図に基づいて説明する。
【0013】
図1から図4は、本発明の流体充填装置1の断面図で、それぞれ充填開始から終了までの動作中の状態を示す。
【0014】
図1は、液体を流体充填装置1の流入口接続部6aから流入させ、ノズル先端部7aから吐出させ、その下に配置されている容器(図示せず)に充填液を大流量で充填する場合の動作中の状態を示す断面図である。
【0015】
図2は、充填液を小流量で充填する場合の動作中の状態を示す断面図である。
【0016】
図3は、容器への充填終了のため流量を止めた場合の動作中の状態を示す断面図である。
【0017】
図4は、充填終了時に引き続き、ノズル先端からの液垂れを防止する動作中の状態を示す断面図である。
【0018】
以下、図1から図4の各部の機能について詳細に説明する。4はバルブ外周円筒部で、液体が下方に向かって流動する鉛直方向流路空間5bをバルブ外周円筒部4の内壁に沿って形成している。その鉛直方向流路空間5bは、後述する移動体中空円筒部8及び移動体分流部9の外壁とバルブ外周円筒部4の内壁との間隙に形成された空間である。
【0019】
6は、外周円筒流入端部であり、バルブ外周円筒部4の上部に一体に形成されている。そのバルブ最上部にはフレキシブルな薄いリング状の弾性体からなるダイヤフラム11が配設されている。ダイヤフラム11は、リング状の外周をネジ23bで固定され液体が漏れないように機密性を保たれ、一方リング状の内周は後述する移動体中空円筒部8の上部にネジなどで固定されている。
【0020】
液体は、外周円筒流入端部6の流入口接続部6aから入り、ダイヤフラム11によって形成された水平方向流路空間5aを通り、直交する鉛直方向流路空間5bへ流れる。
【0021】
7は、外周円筒ノズル部であり、図示するようにノズル先端7aに向かって内周径が次第に小さくなるテーパ傾斜内壁を形成している。外周円筒ノズル部7は外周円筒結合部材19によりバルブ外周円筒部4と着脱可能に接続されている。
【0022】
8は、移動体中空円筒部であり、バルブ外周円筒部4の上部の内側に配設されている。
【0023】
図5は、移動体中空円筒部8を示し,(a)は側面図、(b)は平面図である。図5に示すように、移動体中空円筒部8は、バルブ外周円筒部4との間に鉛直方向流路空間5bを形成するための外径D1の第1の中空円筒外壁W1と、バルブ外周円筒部4の内径と略同一寸法の外径D2の第2の中空円筒外壁W2とが設けられている。さらに、第2の中空円筒外壁W2の下端には小流路用溝8aが円周上に2箇所設けられている。小流路用溝8aは最少流量とするためのもので1ヶ所以上複数箇所設けてもよい。D3は移動体中空円筒部8の円筒内径を示す。
【0024】
この移動体中空円筒部8は、その上下方向の移動により水平方向流路5aから鉛直方向流路5bへの液体流量を調節するものである。図1は、水平方向から鉛直方向に流路が曲がる第1の開閉流路5xが最も広い場合を示し、大流量に対応している。
【0025】
図2は、第1の開閉流路5xが狭い場合を示し、流路は小流路用溝8aを流れる最小流量とされている状態である。図3、図4は第1の開閉流路5xが閉じている場合であり、充填終了時及び充填終了後のサックバック動作中に対応している。
【0026】
整流用移動体分流部9は、移動体中空円筒部8の下側に配置されている。移動体中空円筒部8の円筒下端と対向する整流用移動体分流部9の円筒上端とはその間にOリングを配置して気密性を保持する構造とされている。また、整流用移動体分流部9の円筒下端は、後述する移動体先端部10の上端と対向してその間にOリングを配置して気密性を保持する構造とされている。
【0027】
図6は、整流用移動体分流部9を示し、(a)は側面図、(b)は(a)のA−A断面図である。整流用移動体分流部9の外周には複数枚の整流用ガイド板9aが設けられており、バルブ外周円筒部4の内壁との間隙に、液体が分流して通過する整流部流路5cを形成する。整流部流路5cは、上流から流れる液体を分流することにより乱流や発泡を防止し、ノズルからの飛散や液垂れ発生を抑止する。
【0028】
図6において、整流用ガイド板9aを含む外径D1、整流用ガイド板9aを除く外径D2、整流用移動体分流部9の内径D3は、図5(a)に示した移動体中空円筒部8の径D1、D2、D3と同径に形成されている。
【0029】
移動体本体部12は、移動体中空円筒部8の下端円筒端部と整流用移動体分流部9の上側円筒端部とを合わせて一体化するように、それらの中空部に挿入して中心軸体としている。
【0030】
移動体先端部10は、移動体本体部12の下側に着脱自在に接続する接続機構部10aとその下部のテーパ傾斜外壁10bとからなり、テーパ傾斜外壁10bは、外周円筒ノズル部7のテーパ傾斜内壁面に対向して鉛直方向流路5b及び整流部流路5cを通過した液体が吐出されるノズル流路5dを形成するものである。
【0031】
図3に示すように、移動体本体部12が下に移動することにより移動体先端部10が外周円筒ノズル部7のテーパ傾斜内壁面に接しバルブが閉状態となる。バルブの閉状態では、ノズル流路5dは閉じた第2の開閉流路5yが形成され、その流路の先はほとんど無い状態となる、いわゆるシャットオフバルブ機構を形成する。
【0032】
中子ロッド部20は、移動体先端部10の中空内部に軸方向が移動自在に挿入され、ロッドの先端に連結した半球状の曲面ヘッド20aを備え移動体先端部10の中空部を塞いでいる。
【0033】
次に、これらの構成からなる流体充填装置1の動作によるシャットオフバルブ機構と、中子ロッド部20の動作によるサックバック機構を説明する。
【0034】
移動体本体部12の上方側はダイヤフラム11を貫通して駆動空圧回路部30の駆動ピストンロッド端部30bに固定され、第1のバネ13bでバルブ外周円筒部4に対し上方に付勢されている。
【0035】
シャットオフバルブ機構は、駆動空圧回路部30の空圧入力端子30aへ空圧を印加することにより駆動ピストンロッドを駆動し、その端部30bに接続されている移動体本体部12を下方へ移動し第1の開閉流路5x及び第2の開閉流路5yを閉じ、空圧をOFFとすれば、第1のバネ13aにより付勢されている移動体本体部12は上方に移動し第1の開閉流路5x及び第2の開閉流路5yを開く。
【0036】
次に中子ロッド部20を用いたサックバック機構について説明する。中子ロッド20は第2のバネ21により移動体先端部10に対して上方に付勢されている。
【0037】
移動体本体部12の上方側(本実施例では空圧回路機構部13とダイアフラム11との間)に、エア供給機構部23を備え、移動体本体部12の中心軸に沿って空気を供給するエア供給通路22を設けてある。
【0038】
サックバック機構は、エア供給機構部23のエア供給口23aから空気を供給することにより空圧で先端の中子ロッド部20を下方へ移動させて、移動体先端部10の外周テーパ面に連続した曲面ヘッド20aが形成される。この状態は図1、図2に示す液体充填中の状態で、ノズルからの液体の流れを整える形状になっている。
【0039】
一方、エア供給口23aからの空気の供給を停止すれば、第2のバネ21に付勢されている中子ロッド部20が上方に移動し、移動体先端部10の先端に凹部が形成される。(図4参照)
【0040】
この動作により、外周円筒ノズル部7と移動体先端部10のそれぞれのテーパ傾斜面の隙間にわずかに残る液体を先端に形成された凹部に表面張力で保持することで、充填終了時の液垂れをなくする。
【0041】
図7は、エア供給機構部23の側面図で、移動体本体部12に設けられた、そのエア供給口23aの位置が大流量充填時と、充填終了時で異なることを示す図である。小流量充填時の場合は、エア供給口23aはその中間にある。エア供給口23aへの空圧ホースはフレキシブルなホース(図示せず)を用いる。
【0042】
図8は、本発明のサックバック機能付きのシャットオフバルブを設けた流体充填装置2の第2の実施の形態を示す模式図である。図1と同じ符号は同じ機能であり説明を省略する。
【0043】
第2の実施の形態は、コンピュータ制御部90を備えて、サックバック機能がタイミングよく効率的に処理される流体充填装置1の構成である。
【0044】
図8で、50は液体タンクである。充填される容器60は、搬送部61に搭載され、所定量充填されれば、自動的に搬出され、次の空の容器60がノズル先端部7aの真下に補充され充填が開始される。充填量は計量手段62により検出される。62aは計量手段62のデータ出力端子である。
【0045】
エア供給部70は、サックバック機構にエアを供給するもので、エア供給信号入力端子70aを備える。
【0046】
空圧出力部80は、シャットオフバルブ機構を駆動する空圧を出力するもので、空圧出力選択信号の入力端子80aを備える。この空圧出力部80は充填流量の選択信号を受けて、その流量に対応する空圧を駆動空圧回路部30へ送るものである。
【0047】
コンピュータ制御部90は、少なくともCPU91と、記憶部92と、計量データ入力部93と、エア供給信号出力部94と、空圧出力選択信号出力部95と、入力装置96と、バス97とから構成されている。
【0048】
また、CPU91は、少なくともエア供給手段91a、エア停止手段91b、計量検出手段91c、運転管理者から入力装置96を介し手入力される制御選択データを受ける選択信号入力手段91e、空圧出力部80へ選択信号を送る選択信号出力手段91fの各手段を備える。
【0049】
この実施の形態では、コンピュータ制御部90が、計量検出手段91cにより容器60の位置と、充填液体量を管理して充填開始、充填流量の制御、充填停止の動作を自動的に管理するものである。以下その動作を順に説明する。
【0050】
まず、空の容器60が所定位置にセットされると、計量検出部62が検知し、出力端子62aに接続された計量データ入力部93を介してコンピュータ制御部90へ通知する。この信号を受けたコンピュータ制御部90は、計量検出手段91cにより液体充填開始時であることを確認する。
【0051】
次に、エア供給手段91aによりエア供給信号出力部94からエア供給部70のエア供給信号入力端子70aに供給信号を出力し、エア供給部70からエア供給口23aにエアを供給開始する。この動作により、サックバック機構の中子ロッド部20は下方に移動し、移動体先端部10のヘッドに連続した曲面を形成し、充填時のノズル形状とする。
【0052】
次に、選択信号出力手段91eにより、充填流量に応じた選択信号を選択信号出力部95に接続された空圧出力選択入力端子80aに出力し、空圧出力部80を動作させる。空圧出力部80は、空圧を印加していたバルブ閉状態を解除し、流量に応じた空圧として充填を開始させる。
【0053】
ここで、選択信号入力手段91dにより、大流量〜小流量の選択データが設定されておれば、その選択信号が出力される。
【0054】
充填中は計量検出手段91cにより充填量を監視し、所定の充填量に達したとき、充填終了信号出力手段91fによりバルブを閉鎖する信号を空圧出力部80に送る。空圧出力部80は、駆動空圧回路部30へバルブ閉鎖に必要な空圧を印加してシャットオフバルブ状態とする。
【0055】
同時に、エア停止手段91aがエア供給停止信号をエア供給部70に送り、中子ロッド部20を下方移動していた空圧の供給を停止又は加圧を少なくし、液垂れ防止の凹部を形成させるサックバック状態とする。
【0056】
このとき、充填液体の粘度、性状に応じて、中子ロッド部20の上方への移動距離を調整し、形成される凹部の大きさを充填液体の表面張力が働き易いサイズにすることができる。
【0057】
充填された容器60は搬送部61から下流のベルトコンベアへ排出され、新たな空の容器60が搬送部61上に配置されて、充填動作を繰返す。
【0058】
図9は、本発明のサックバック機能付きのシャットオフバルブを設けた流体充填装置2の第3の実施の形態を示す先端部の模式図で、(a)は、移動体先端部に弾性体隔膜を設けエアで膨らませた断面図、(b)は、(a)のエアを抜いた断面図である。
【0059】
この実施の形態では、移動体本体部12の中心軸を貫通するエア供給通路22が移動体先端部10まで延長されて開口し、移動体先端部10はエアで膨らむ弾性材からなる隔膜ヘッド20bを挟んで先端部材10cがねじ込まれて固定されている。図9(a)は、エアが加圧されて隔膜ヘッド20bが膨らみ、先端部材10cの先端から突出した曲面を形成している状態を示す。
【0060】
図9(b)は、エア加圧を弱めて、隔膜ヘッド20bを縮ませ、先端部材10cの先端に凹部を形成し、ノズル先端の隙間に残る液体を保持する空間を作り液垂れを防止するサックバック機構を働かせた状態を示す。
【0061】
この構成では、中子ロッド20に替えて、隔膜ヘッド20bをエアーで直接膨張・収縮させてノズル先端でのサックバック構造を形成することができる。このため、第1の実施の形態に比べ、構造をより簡単にし、ノズルを安価にすることができる。
【0062】
【発明の効果】
本発明の流体充填装置は、以下に示す効果を呈する。すなわち、充填液体の単位時間当たりの流量を従来より大きくすることができると共に、充填終了時の液垂れを防止することができる。
【0063】
また、シャットオフバルブ機構と、サックバック機構を個別に駆動可能であるため、サックバック動作のタイミングを容易に制御することができる。
【0064】
さらに、充填ノズル内が目詰まりしない構造であるため、具材入りの充填液や、高粘度の充填液であっても大流量で効率よく充填作業をすることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fluid filling device for filling a container with a liquid such as a seasoning liquid, a detergent, or a medicine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional fluid filling apparatus, the following method has been taken to increase the filling capacity. That is, (a) the filling amount per unit time of the filling nozzle (head) is increased. (B) Increase the number of filling nozzles (heads) per filling device.
[0003]
In the method (a), if the filling speed is increased while the pipe is thin, foaming and splashing of the liquid occur, which causes a problem that contaminates the container and the filling machine. It was necessary to increase the filling amount per unit time by increasing the thickness. A method for increasing the processing capacity of the filling device by increasing the diameter of the pipe is disclosed in Patent Document 1.
[0004]
In Patent Document 1, in order to prevent dripping of the filling liquid existing from the valve part that shuts off the filling liquid to the nozzle part, a mesh through which the liquid passes is arranged in the nozzle part, and when the filling is completed by the surface tension of the mesh hole.

[0044]
In FIG. 8, 50 is a liquid tank. The container 60 to be filled is mounted on the transport unit 61 and is automatically carried out when a predetermined amount is filled, and the next empty container 60 is replenished immediately below the nozzle tip 7a and filling is started. The filling amount is detected by the weighing means 62. 62 a is a data output terminal of the weighing means 62.

The air supply unit 70 supplies air to the suck back mechanism and includes an air supply signal input terminal 70a.
[0046]
The pneumatic output unit 80 outputs pneumatic pressure that drives the shut-off valve mechanism, and includes an input terminal 80a for an pneumatic output selection signal. The pneumatic pressure output unit 80 receives a filling flow rate selection signal and sends the pneumatic pressure corresponding to the flow rate to the driving pneumatic circuit unit 30.

First, when the empty container 60 is set at a predetermined position, the measurement detection unit 62 detects it and notifies the computer control unit 90 via the measurement data input unit 93 connected to the output terminal 62a. Receiving this signal, the computer control unit 90 confirms that the liquid filling is started by the measurement detecting means 91c.
[0051]
Next, the air supply means 91a outputs a supply signal from the air supply signal output unit 94 to the air supply signal input terminal 70a of the air supply unit 70, and starts supplying air from the air supply unit 70 to the air supply port 23a. By this operation, the core rod portion 20 of the suck back mechanism moves downward, forms a curved surface continuous with the head of the movable body tip portion 10, and has a nozzle shape at the time of filling.

Next, the selection signal output unit 91e outputs a selection signal corresponding to the filling flow rate to the pneumatic pressure output selection input terminal 80a connected to the selection signal output unit 95, and operates the pneumatic pressure output unit 80. The air pressure output unit 80 cancels the valve closed state in which air pressure is applied, and starts filling with air pressure corresponding to the flow rate.
[0053]
Here, if selection data of a large flow rate to a small flow rate is set by the selection signal input means 91d, the selection signal is output.
[0054]
During filling, the filling amount is monitored by the metering detection means 91c, and when the predetermined filling amount is reached, a signal for closing the valve is sent to the pneumatic output unit 80 by the filling end signal output means 91f. The pneumatic output unit 80 applies a pneumatic pressure necessary for closing the valve to the driving pneumatic circuit unit 30 to bring it into a shut-off valve state.
[0055]
At the same time, the air stop unit 91a sends an air supply stop signal to the air supply unit 70 to stop the supply of the air pressure that has been moved down the core rod unit 20 or reduce the pressurization, thereby forming a recess for preventing dripping. Let the suck back state be
[0056]
At this time, the upward movement distance of the core rod part 20 can be adjusted according to the viscosity and property of the filling liquid, and the size of the formed recess can be made to be a size that facilitates the surface tension of the filling liquid. .

In FIG. 9B, air pressurization is weakened, the diaphragm head 20b is contracted, a recess is formed at the tip of the tip member 10c, and a space for holding the liquid remaining in the gap at the nozzle tip is created to prevent dripping. The state that the suck back mechanism is working is shown.
[0061]
In this configuration, instead of the core rod 20, the diaphragm head 20b can be directly expanded and contracted with air to form a suck back structure at the tip of the nozzle. For this reason, compared with 1st Embodiment, a structure can be simplified and a nozzle can be made cheap.
