Description

  The present invention relates to a filling device for filling a container such as a bottle or a can with a filling liquid such as a beverage, such as a small-bore container such as a PET bottle, a bottle can, or a bottle having a shoulder, and a top open can. The present invention relates to a filling valve that is also used as a large-diameter container having a large diameter.

  Conventionally, the filling valve has a filling liquid passage formed inside the valve body and a liquid valve for opening and closing the filling liquid passage, and the filling valve is filled with the filling liquid from the filling liquid passage by opening the liquid valve. When filling a carbonated beverage, if it is necessary to hermetically seal the mouth of the container, a centering bell that guides the mouth of the container to the filling portion and the mouth is hermetically sealed. The seal packing is provided, and the seal packing is abutted and sealed to the entire periphery of the mouth of the container to fill the container in a sealed state.

  When filling the filling liquid into the small-diameter container and the large-diameter container, since the diameter of the mouth part is different, it was necessary to replace the filling valve together when sealing the mouth part of the container, There has been proposed a dual-type filling valve to which both a small-diameter container seal packing and a large-diameter container seal packing are attached. (Patent Documents 1 and 2)

JP 2002-370797 A (FIGS. 1 and 2) Japanese Patent No. 4254568 (FIG. 1)

  In recent years, the thickness of the container has tended to be reduced to reduce material costs, and when the seal packing of the centering bell is contacted and sealed to the entire circumference of the mouth of the container, if the force of the contact seal is too large, the container If the force of the contact seal is too small, the sealing seal in the container becomes insufficient, so it is necessary to finely adjust the force of the contact seal. There is a need for a filling valve that reduces this.

  According to Patent Document 1, a filling valve has a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion formed in a valve body (valve body), and a container mouth packing (seal) having a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion that respectively fit into the valve body. Packing unit is provided, and packing is provided on the lower surface of the container opening packing unit that fits the mouth of the large-diameter container and packing that fits the mouth of the small-diameter container, and fills both the large-diameter container and the small-diameter container. It is said.

  However, in the technology of Patent Document 1, a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion are formed in the valve body, and a container port packing unit having a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion that are fitted to the valve body is provided.

It has become.
Note that the actuator 13 is configured so that power is applied in a direction in which the guide shaft 18 is lowered.

Next, an operation of the filling valve 1 for both the small-diameter container and the large-diameter container according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the operation of the filling valve 1 for the large-diameter container LC will be described. From the state shown in FIG. 2 in which the container LC is supplied onto a container table (not shown), the filling device 30 rotates in the rotation direction as indicated by the arrow 30a. Then, the guide shaft 18 is lowered through the shaft 13s and the plate 14 by the operation of the actuator 13 in response to a command from a control device (not shown). Along with this, the centering bell 2 is lowered via the flange 12, the seal packing 2p comes into contact with the opening of the container LC, and the inside of the container LC is hermetically sealed.
That is, the distance between the upper bottom portion 7b of the groove 7g and the upper surface 2h of the centering bell 2 changes from L0 shown in FIG. 2 to L1 shown in FIG. 3, and the seal packing 2p comes into contact with the mouth of the container LC.
At this time, the centering bell 3 is urged to move downward by the engagement of the jaw portion 3f and the stepped portion 2f by the action of the spring 8, and when the seal packing 2p is brought into contact with the mouth of the container LC, The pushing force of the spring 8 is added.

When the filling liquid filled in the container LC is a filling liquid containing a gas such as carbonated beverage, the inside of the container LC is hermetically sealed, and then the on-off valve 22v is kept closed by a command from a control device (not shown). When the on-off valve 21v is opened for a predetermined time and the pressure gas in the liquid tank (not shown) is supplied into the container LC, and the pressure in the container LC becomes the same as the gas pressure in the liquid tank, the control device (not shown) , The on-off valve 21v is closed, the actuator 15 is operated, the liquid valve 4 is raised in the direction of arrow S, the liquid valve packing 4p is moved away from the liquid valve seal surface 5s, and the filling liquid passage is opened. Is filled in the container LC, and the liquid valve 4 is closed by the operation of the actuator 15 according to a command from the control device.
After the filling into the container LC, the on-off valve 22v is opened by a command from a control device (not shown), and the pressure gas above the filled container LC becomes the gap 3c, the groove 7g, the hole 7v, the piping 22, After the inside of the container LC that has been sniffed via the on-off valve 22v is at the same pressure as the atmosphere, the guide shaft 18 rises via the roller 18r by a cam locus (not shown), and the centering bell 2 and the container The hermetic seal with the opening of the LC is released, and then the liquid is discharged to the container transfer conveyor 34 via the delivery to the outlet transfer star wheel 32.

Next, the operation of the filling valve 1 for the small-diameter container SC will be described. From the state shown in FIG. 4 in which the container SC is supplied on a container table (not shown), the filling device rotates in the rotation direction as indicated by the arrow 30a. Then, the actuator 13 is actuated by a command from a control device (not shown), and the guide shaft 18 is lowered via the shaft 13 s and the plate 14. Along with this, the centering bell 2 is lowered via the flange 12, and the seal packing 3p is brought into contact with the mouth portion of the container SC by the lowering of the centering bell 3 which moves following the flange 12.
That is, the distance between the upper bottom portion 7b of the groove 7g and the upper surface 2h of the centering bell 2 changes from L0 shown in FIG. 4 to L1 shown in FIG. 5, and the seal packing 3p comes into contact with the mouth portion of the container SC. The inside of the SC is hermetically sealed.
Thereafter, the centering bell 2 is further lowered by the operation of the actuator 13 and stops in the state of L2 shown in FIG. 6, and the seal packing 3p that remains in contact with the mouth of the container SC pushes the mouth of the container SC. The sealing pressure for sealing is only due to the pressing force of the spring 8.

When the liquid filled in the container SC is a gas-filled liquid such as carbonated drink, the liquid valve 4 rises in the direction of arrow S in the same manner as in the case of the container LC when the state shown in FIG. Then, the filling liquid is filled, but a duplicate description regarding filling is omitted.
For example, the air pressure of the actuator 13 for operating the centering bell 2 can be set so that the mouth of the large-diameter container LC can be hermetically sealed and the container LC does not buckle. When switching to filling of the container SC, it can be used without changing its pressure setting, and there is no need to repeat pressure adjustment as in the prior art. In particular, it is not necessary to repeat the delicate pressure adjustment that prevents buckling from occurring every time the container is changed.

  In the case of the container SC, if the diameter Dc of the container SC shown in FIG. 6 and the diameter Db of the centering bell 3 are made substantially equal, the self-sealing pressure due to the pressure of the filling liquid containing gas becomes excessive at the time of filling. This can prevent the occurrence of buckling even when the container SC is thin.

In the above description, the case where the filling liquid filling the container LC or the container SC is a gas-containing filling liquid has been described, but the filling valve of the present invention can be applied even when the filling liquid is a non-gas filling liquid.
In this case, the centering bell 2 and the centering bell 3 are lowered, and the inside of the container LC is hermetically sealed with the seal packing 2p for the large-diameter container LC, and the container with the seal packing 3p for the small-diameter container SC. After the inside of the SC is hermetically sealed, the liquid valve 4 is opened. The space above the liquid level of the liquid tank (not shown) is at atmospheric pressure, and the filling liquid is filled into the container LC or the container SC, and the air inside the container LC or the container SC is filled with the gap 7c, the piping 21, the on-off valve. It is vented (discharged) to an upper space in a liquid tank (not shown) via 21v.
When filling with the non-gas filling liquid, the seal packing 2p or the seal packing 3p does not necessarily need to be hermetically sealed to the mouth of the container LC or the container SC, but detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, the filling valve 1 according to the present invention does not change the seal packing that seals the mouths of the large-diameter container LC and the small-diameter container SC for large-diameter containers and small-diameter containers, It is not accompanied by a change in air pressure or the like of an actuator (such as an air cylinder) for bringing the seal packing into contact with the mouth of the container. Therefore, even when the thickness of the container is thin, It is not necessary to carry out fine adjustment of the air pressure, and a simple structure can be realized.
