200823146 九、發明說明： I：發明所屬之技術領域3 發明領域 本發明係有關於一種用來判定待填入液體之容器（例 5 如，填入啤酒的啤酒桶）是否填充不足的填充失敗判定裝 置。此外，本發明係有關於一種用於填入啤酒於容器（例 如，啤酒桶）的填充裝置，其係具有該填充失敗判定裝置。 I：先前技術3 發明背景 ίο 市售啤酒通常為瓶裝或罐裝。此外，啤酒也會以玻璃 杯或馬克杯來賣。在此情況下，啤酒是在釀造所裝入啤酒 專用的啤酒桶或貯罐，然後輸送到餐館等等。在餐館等等 中，通過聯結於啤酒桶的專用分配器，啤酒倒入玻璃杯或 馬克杯。 15 在釀造所中，是用填充裝置來填入啤酒於啤酒桶。該 填充裝置包含多個填充部件。填充部件各包含：一用於調 整啤酒流率的流量控制閥；以及，一填充頭。 在填入啤酒於啤酒桶時，先行填充預應力氣體 (pre-stress gas)(例如，惰性氣體)於該啤酒桶，藉此以預定 20 壓力預先使該啤酒桶有應力。在填入啤酒於該啤酒桶時， 預應力氣體可防止已溶入啤酒的二氧化碳與啤酒分離，而 且在填入啤酒於啤酒桶時可防止啤酒本身起泡。在填充啤 酒時，根據啤酒的填充重量來逐漸排出該啤酒桶的預應力 氣體藉此使啤酒桶的壓力保持不變。 5 200823146 不過，在完全打開填充部件的流量控制閥的情形下， 啤酒的填充速度會急速增加。因此，原先應排出的預應力 氣體會混入啤酒的流動而在有些情形下會以相對高壓壓縮 於啤酒桶内。 5 在單獨通過分配器由有如上述壓縮預應力氣體的啤酒 桶抽出啤酒時，預應力氣體也會與啤酒一起被抽出。因此， 啤酒的抽出速度會大幅增加。因此，會產生大量而且直徑 比平常大的氣泡。換言之，就此情形而言，在啤酒水平上 不可能形成細小的氣泡，這不是消費者所偏好的。 10 在填充部件已製成其中有如上述壓縮預應力氣體而填 充不足之啤酒桶的情形下，該填充部件極有可能類似地繼 續製作啤酒填充不足的啤酒桶。因此，在啤酒填充不足之 啤酒桶會在特定填充部件製成的情形下，預料會停掉該特 定填充部件的操作。 15 日本未經審查專利申請案第2000-289720號揭示一種 包裝測量檢驗系統，其係包含：一用於製成商品的包裝機 器；一用於測量商品重量的重量檢驗器；以及，一在商品 包裝後用於檢驗商品密封狀態的密封檢驗器。在日本未經 審查專利申請案第2000-289720號所揭示的包裝測量檢驗 20 系統中，在用密封檢驗器判斷出失敗會繼續的情形下，會 停止包裝機器所執行的包裝操作。 不過，在每次填充失敗就停下整個填充裝置的操作而 且是多個填充部件中之一個特定填充部件造成填充失敗的 情形下，會使生產率劣化而不切實際。 6 200823146 有許多情形是在啤酒桶已輸送到市場當啤酒通過商店 中之專用分配器由啤酒桶實際抽出時才能發現填充部件所 填充啤酒桶是否不足。因此，在商店中發現啤酒填充不足 之啤酒桶的情形下，極可能有大量啤酒填充不足的啤酒桶 5已輸送到市場。在釀造所有可能進行檢驗來測定啤酒桶是 否充分填入啤酒。然而，檢驗操作报複雜。此外，檢驗啤 酒桶是否充分填入啤酒也很花時間。 ./ 為了解决問題，本案發明人對於以上事物有做過實際 調整。基於調整的結果，本案發明人獲悉在啤酒桶輸送到 1〇 2場之前可簡單迅速地判斷啤酒桶是否充分填人啤酒，換 5之’在填人相於相㈣，以測量啤㈣填充速度來 巷於上仙形，吾等已完成本發明。本發明之一目標 疋要k供-種填充失敗判定裝置能簡單迅速 15 20 (例如，啤酒桶)沒有充分填入啤酒。本發明另-目伊是要提 供一種具有該填充失敗判技置的填充裝置。τ 【發明内容】 發明概要 為了實現上述目標，第_

INSTRUCTIONS: I: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a filling failure determination for determining whether a container to be filled with liquid (for example, a beer keg filled with beer) is insufficiently filled. Device. Further, the present invention relates to a filling device for filling beer in a container (e.g., a beer keg) having the filling failure determining device. I: Prior Art 3 Background of the Invention ί. Commercially available beer is usually bottled or canned. In addition, beer will be sold in glass or mugs. In this case, the beer is brewed into a beer-specific beer keg or storage tank, and then transported to a restaurant or the like. In restaurants and the like, the beer is poured into a glass or mug by means of a dedicated dispenser attached to the beer keg. 15 In the brewery, a filling device is used to fill the beer in the beer keg. The filling device comprises a plurality of filling members. The filling components each include: a flow control valve for adjusting the beer flow rate; and a filling head. When the beer is filled in the beer keg, a pre-stress gas (e.g., an inert gas) is first filled in the beer keg, thereby pre-stressing the beer keg at a predetermined pressure of 20. When the beer is filled in the beer keg, the pre-stressed gas prevents the carbon dioxide dissolved in the beer from separating from the beer, and prevents the beer itself from foaming when the beer is filled in the beer keg. When the beer is filled, the pre-stressed gas of the beer keg is gradually discharged according to the filling weight of the beer to thereby maintain the pressure of the beer keg. 5 200823146 However, in the case of completely opening the flow control valve of the filling unit, the filling speed of the beer will increase rapidly. Therefore, the pre-stressed gas that should have been discharged will be mixed into the beer flow and in some cases will be compressed in the beer barrel at a relatively high pressure. 5 The pre-stressed gas is also withdrawn from the beer when the beer is withdrawn from the beer barrel having the compressed pre-stressed gas as described above by the dispenser alone. Therefore, the speed at which the beer is drawn will increase significantly. Therefore, a large number of bubbles having a diameter larger than usual are generated. In other words, in this case, it is impossible to form fine bubbles at the beer level, which is not preferred by consumers. 10 In the case where the filling member has been made into a beer keg in which the compressed pre-stressed gas is filled as described above, the filling member is highly likely to continue to produce a beer-filled beer keg similarly. Therefore, in the case where the beer-filled beer keg is made up of a specific filling member, it is expected that the operation of the specific filling member will be stopped. 15 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. 2000-289720 discloses a package measurement and inspection system comprising: a packaging machine for making a product; a weight checker for measuring the weight of a commodity; and, A seal tester for checking the sealed state of a product after packaging. In the package measurement inspection 20 system disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-289720, in the case where the failure of the seal checker is judged to be continued, the packaging operation performed by the packaging machine is stopped. However, in the case where the operation of the entire filling device is stopped every time the filling fails and a specific filling member of the plurality of filling members causes the filling failure, it is impractical to deteriorate the productivity. 6 200823146 There are many situations in which the beer keg has been delivered to the market. When the beer is actually drawn out of the beer keg through a special dispenser in the store, it can be found that the filling of the beer keg is insufficient. Therefore, in the case where a beer-filled beer keg is found in a store, it is highly probable that a large beer-filled beer keg 5 has been delivered to the market. All possible tests can be carried out to determine if the beer keg is fully filled with beer. However, the inspection operation report is complicated. In addition, it takes time to check that the beer barrel is fully filled with beer. . / In order to solve the problem, the inventor of this case has made actual adjustments to the above things. Based on the results of the adjustment, the inventor of the present case learned that before the beer barrel is transported to 1.2 fields, it can be quickly and easily determined whether the beer barrel is fully filled with beer, and the 5th 'in the filling phase (4) is used to measure the filling speed of the beer (four). The lane is in the upper fairy shape, and we have completed the present invention. One of the objects of the present invention is that the device for filling failure determination can be simply and quickly 15 20 (for example, a beer keg) not fully filled with beer. Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a filling apparatus having the filling failure arbitration. τ SUMMARY OF INVENTION Summary of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the first _f is placed, and the filling failure determination device is included in the package a filling speed measuring member filling member, and the liquid is filled in the liquid container. The liquid filling member is used for filling in each of the predetermined weights, wherein: in the case where the filling speed is greater than the capacity of the night filling, the container of the 7 200823146 body is A container that is not sufficiently filled with the liquid. In the first aspect, in the case where the filling speed of the filling liquid is relatively low, there is no pre-stressed gas in the beer. Therefore, no pre-stressed gas remains in the container. Therefore, when it is judged whether or not the filling speed of the filling liquid is higher than the predetermined value, it can be determined whether or not the container is insufficiently filled. Therefore, it is possible to easily find a container that is underfilled. In this connection, the filling speed can be the maximum or average value when filling the liquid. According to a second aspect, as in the first aspect, the filling failure determining device further comprises a filled container weight measuring member for measuring the weight of each container after the liquid has been filled with each of the 10 liquid filling members, wherein: In the case where the weight of the weight measuring member after the filling is smaller than the reference weight of the container after the filling, it is determined that the container is a container that is not sufficiently filled with the liquid. In other words, the second aspect is to determine whether the container with the compressed pre-stressed gas is underfilled. Further, it is determined whether the filling weight of the container is less than a predetermined 15 weight, in other words, whether the container is insufficiently filled. Therefore, it is easy to find a container in which the liquid is insufficiently filled. The third aspect provides a filling device comprising the filling failure determining device according to the first or second aspect. In other words, in the third aspect, it is possible to determine that the container is insufficiently filled before being delivered to the market, that is, when the liquid is filled in the container. Therefore, it is easy to find the container that failed to fill. A fourth aspect provides a filling device of the third aspect, further comprising an ejection means for extracting from the filling device a container which has been determined to be insufficiently filled with liquid. 8 200823146 In the city in the first time, it is possible to prevent the filling-container from being placed in the filling device of the third or fourth aspect. 5 10 15 20 crying (four) material ^ liquid material filling member filling liquid: the liquid filling stops The condition of the member 'the liquid filling member and the volume (10) (4) 疋马禾(9) determined to be insufficiently filled with the remainder is that the container is not sufficiently filled with the liquid for not less than a predetermined number of times. In other words, in the fifth aspect, in order to prevent the production area from being a sufficient container, the liquid filling member is not used to fill the liquid. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of stopping the entire filling device. The liquid filling stop member, for example, is a flow control valve provided to the liquid filling member. The sixth aspect provides a filling device according to any one of the third to fifth aspects, which further comprises: (4) a supply stopping member for stopping the supply of the new container to a liquid 2 filling member, the liquid filling member being The container that is determined to be insufficiently filled with the liquid corresponds to a condition that the container is not sufficiently filled with the liquid for not less than a predetermined number of times. In other words, in the sixth aspect, in order to prevent the creation of an underfilled container, the container is not supplied to the associated liquid filling member. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need to stop the entire filling device. Wei Wei supplies the stopping member, for example, for the poem to temporarily retain the contents from both sides of the conveying passage to skip the supply of the container to the member of the liquid filling member. The seventh aspect (the #filling device for filling a liquid in a container) comprises: a plurality of liquid filling members, which are used for respectively filling a predetermined weight of liquid in a plurality of containers; The determining member 9 200823146 is for determining whether the liquid filled in the containers by the plurality of liquid filling members is insufficient, and a liquid filling stopping member for stopping filling of the liquid by a liquid filling member. The liquid filling of the container is a stop member corresponding to the container determined to be insufficiently filled with the liquid. The condition that the filling failure determining member determines to stop is that the container is not sufficiently filled with the liquid for not less than a predetermined number of times. 10 15 - In other words, in the seventh aspect, 'to prevent the generation of underfilled contents:' instead of filling the liquid with the associated liquid filling member. Therefore, there is a possibility that the entire filling device is stopped. The month when the container is delivered to the market ^', that is, when filling the liquid, it can be determined whether the container is insufficiently filled. Because: the container with insufficient filling can be easily found. The liquid filling stop member is a flow control valve for sighing the liquid filling member. Aspects A filling system for filling a liquid into a container includes: a plurality of liquid filling members, which are used for filling each: Pre-extracting the weight of the liquid in the plurality of containers; a filling failure determining member for arranging the liquids filled into the containers with the plurality of liquid filling members, and the first stop to supply the new containers to - the liquid filling member: the stolen supply stopping member, the liquid filling member is opposite to the container determined to be unfilled and filled with the liquid, and the condition of the filling failure determination is that the container is not sufficiently filled with liquid Not less than the predetermined, 'in the eighth aspect' of B, in order to prevent the production of insufficiently filled containers, and not to supply the container to the relevant > night body filling member. Therefore, the necessity of removing the entire filling device is excluded. To the market 20 200823146 then 'that is, when filling the liquid, it can be determined whether the container is underfilled. Therefore, the container with insufficient filling can be easily found. For example, the container The supply stopping member is a member for temporarily holding the container from both sides of the conveying passage, which is fed along the conveying passage to the supply container to the liquid filling member. 5 - «The ninth aspect" is like the seventh or eighth aspect, The filling failure determining member includes a filling speed measuring member for measuring a filling speed when the liquid is filled in the respective containers by the plurality of liquid filling members, and the filling failure determining member determines to fill the liquid at a filling speed. A condition in which a container is insufficient is that the filling speed measured by the filling speed measuring member is greater than a predetermined value of 10. In the ninth aspect, in the case where the filling speed of the beverage is relatively low, there is no pre-production in the beer. Stress gas. Therefore, no pre-stressed gas remains in the container. Therefore, when it is judged whether or not the filling speed of the liquid is higher than a predetermined value, it can be determined whether or not the container is insufficiently filled. Therefore, it is easy to find out the container with insufficient filling. In this connection, the filling speed can be the maximum or average value when filling the liquid. According to a tenth aspect, as in the seventh or eighth aspect, the filling failure determining member includes a post-filled container weight measuring member for measuring a weight filled with the respective liquid filling members in the respective containers, and the filling failure determining member The condition for judging the insufficient filling of the trough is that the weight of the trough measured by the weight measuring member after the filling is less than a predetermined reference weight of the filled container. In other words, the tenth aspect is to determine whether the filling weight is less than a predetermined weight. In other words, it is determined whether the container is underfilled. Therefore, the fill failure container can be easily found. The eleventh aspect provides a filling device for filling a liquid into a container according to any one of the seventh to tenth aspects, further comprising an extracting member for being drawn by the filling device to be determined to be filled Insufficient container. In other words, in the eleventh aspect, it is possible to prevent the underfilled container from being circulated in the market. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention.

When the cylinder 51 is operated to extend the rod 52, the beer tub 4 is clamped between the ejector levers: 53, the rotary passage 2 。. The filling member F includes a filling head 23 that can reciprocate the hole (not shown) of the beer tub 4, and a liquid conveying pipe 22 that extends from the beer storage tank (not shown) to the filling head. The beer in the beer storage tank (not shown) is conveyed by liquid 13 200823146 A configuration for detecting the beer tube 22 and the filling head 23 is filled into the beer barrel 4 by the barrel hole. As shown in the drawing, in the liquid delivery pipe 22, the flow rate table 25 of the flow rate of the wine into the liquid delivery pipe 22. Further, in the downstream of the flow meter 25 with respect to the beer flow, a flow control valve 26 for controlling the beer flow rate is disposed. Both flow meter 25 and flow control valve 26 are electrically coupled to control unit 30, which will be described later. In addition, in Fig. 2, a supply pipe 55 for supplying pre-stressed gas into the beer keg 40 after the beer is filled in the beer keg is illustrated, and a liquefied gas for the beer (4) Emission f56. The duty gas 10 is a U II gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen. The function of the pre-stressed gas is to prevent carbon dioxide knifeing or foaming of the beer from being dissolved when the beer is filled in the beer keg. In this connection, in the discharge pipe 56, a control valve 57 for controlling the discharge flow rate of the pre-stressed gas is disposed. This control valve W is also electrically connected to the control unit 30. Although not explained in detail herein, the pre-stressed gas system supplied to the beer 15 barrels is discharged through the discharge line 56 as the beer filling operation progresses. Referring to FIG. 1 again, the beer keg 4 that has been transported to the conveying path U is further conveyed to the rotating passage by a star whed 13 and a guide 14 disposed on the upstream side of the conveying direction A. 20. When the rotary duct 2 is rotated in the direction of the arrow B by the beer tub 40 which has been transported 20 to the rotary passage 2, a filling member F is used to fill the beer in the beer tub. In other words 'When the rotating channel 20 is made up of the star wheel on the upstream side _ beer keg

皁’酉桶40/又有填充足夠的啤酒，而不管實際填入啤酒桶 40之啤酒的填充重量。 、 因此，在判斷出填充速度V高於預定值v〇的情形下，步 驟1〇8a用起動部件19起動分枝輸送通道18 。如前述，填充 後的相關啤酒桶40由輸送通道11移動到分枝輸送通道18而 15且由填充裝置10引出。接下來，在步驟109a中，對應至相 關皁/酉桶40之填充部件的計數值^加“i，，⑼—仏+1)。 另一方面’在步驟1〇6判斷出填充速度V不高於預定值 V〇的炀形下’程式前進到步驟107。在步驟107中，重量類 填充失敗判定構件32判斷啤酒桶4〇在填充啤酒之後的總重 2〇 ϊΖ疋否小於預定值22。預定值Z2為啤酒填充重量加上先 前用統計方法測定之空啤酒桶重量最大值。 在步驟107判定啤酒桶40的總重量Ζ小於預定值Ζ2的情 开y下由於相關皁酒桶40的啤酒填充重量小於預定的啤酒 填充重里’因而判定相關啤酒桶40填入的啤酒不足。例如， 18 200823146 基於某些理由，與想要的打開程度相比，填充部件f5的流 里控制閥26在閉合方向會保持某一程度的打開。 不可能輸送此一啤酒未充分填充的啤酒桶4〇。因此， 程式繼續到步驟108b並且由填充裝置1〇引出相關的啤酒桶 5 4()如4述。因此，甚至在抽出啤酒桶不會失敗或基於剩 餘預應力氣體的情形下，仍有可能防止啤酒未充分填充的 啤酒桶40輸送到市場。此外，如前述，在步驟10%中，相 關啤酒桶40已填充啤酒之填充部件&的計數值乂加上 1 (N5<—N5+I)。 10 接下來，在步驟110中，讀取填充部件匕的最新計數值 N5並且判斷計數值Ns是否不小於預定值Ν〇。預定值為不 小於1的整數。當步驟110判斷出計數值乂不大於預定值n〇 時，處理結束。 預定值Ν0為填充裝置10生產率與未充分填入啤酒之啤 15酒桶的產生率的“折中”。亦即，在預定值Ν〇相對高的情形 下，填充裝置H)的生產率會增加，然而，未充分填入啤酒 之啤酒桶的產生率也會增加。反之，在預定值队相對低的 情形下，未充分填人啤酒之啤酒桶的產生率會減少，然而， 填充裝置10的生產率也會減少。操作員可依據上述關係適 20當地決定預定值N。。 在步驟no中，在計數值N5不小於預定值N。的情形下， 亦即，在用填充部件匕填入啤酒於啤酒桶4〇被判定不足的 次數相對大的情形下，程式前進到步驟lu。在步驟ηι中， 用控制單元_閉流量㈣閥26使得啤酒無法由儲存槽 19 200823146 (未圖禾）供給至相關的填充部件A。亦即，流量控制閥26 用來作為一用於停止填入啤酒（液體）於在特定填充部件 Fi(例如，填充部件F5)處之啤酒桶的液體填充停止構件。 如前述，即使填充裝置1〇繼續操作，填充部件F5不會 5把啤酒填入其他的啤酒桶40。因此，有可能避免出現其他 啤酒桶40繼續被填充部件Fs填入不足啤酒的情形。因此， 在本發明中即使有填充失敗的情形，也不必停止整個填 充裝置10 ° 此外，在步驟112中，停止構件6〇是用控制單元3〇以預 10定時序來發動，藉此不會供給新的空啤酒桶40給相關的填 充部件Fs。第6a及6b圖為的部份放大圖係放大部份填充裝

均偏離輸送通道11。 20 如弟奶囷所示，^停止構件60被發動時，連接桿對 62A、62B各自繞著轉輛部份63A、63B以相反彼此的方向旋 轉。如前述，連接桿62八、㈣中之一末端部份61八、仙 會各自靠近輸送if 在縱向的巾心線。因此，連接桿 62A 62B中之末端部份61A、61B會暫時使在輸送通道Μ 20 200823146 中輸迗的啤酒桶4〇停止。因 到相關的枯+ ^下的啤酒摘4〇不會供給

—且不可此彳τ止啤酒至啤酒桶的填充時使用此一停止 構件60特別有利，亦即，在不可能進行步驟in的處理時， 使用此一停止構件60特別有利。 如上述’在本發明中，用填充速度類填充失敗判定構 件31及/或重量類填充失敗判定構件32可輕易判定啤酒桶 40疋否填充不足。此外，即使是在特定的填充部件朽會產 15生啤酒填充不足之啤酒桶40的情形下，使用流量控制閥26 及/或停止構件6 0仍有可能防止繼續產生啤酒填充不足的 啤酒桶40。 在參照附圖所解釋的具體實施例中，流量表25是配置 在流量控制閥26的上游。不過，可將流量表25配置於流量 20 控制閥26的下游，例如，流量表25可配置在填充頭23裡面。 就此情形而言，啤酒的填充速度是直接用流量表25來測 量。因此，顯然可更加確實地判斷出啤酒桶40是否填入足 夠的啤酒。 可省略步驟106、107中之一個與步驟111、I12中之一 21 200823146 個。在步驟106中，填充速度V在填充階段的平均值可與另 一預定值做比較。 在未圖示於附圖的具體實施例中，在第3圖之步驟104 完成填充啤酒之前，可做與步驟106中之填充速度V及預定 5 值V 〇有關的判斷。於正在填充啤酒時判斷出填充速度V大於 預定值VG的情形下，強迫停止啤酒填充操作可減少啤酒的 浪費。 此外，在未圖示於附圖的具體實施例中，在填充時間 比預定值短的情形下，使用填充時間可判斷填充啤酒的失 10 敗，而不是步驟106的填充速度V。同樣，在填充時間比另 一預定值長的情形下，使用填充時間可判斷填充啤酒的失 敗，而不是步驟107的總重量Z。很顯然上述情形都包含在 本發明的範圍内。 已用典型的具體實施例來解釋本發明。不過，應注意， 15 熟諳此藝者仍可做出各種改變、省略及增添而不脫離本發 明的範疇。 【圖式簡單說明3

Inquiring to the location of the beer barrel filled with beer 200823146 by the Department 4 using the star rim on the lower shot side and the guide thief back to the transport channel η. The filling device has the above configuration and is located between the star wheels 13, 15: the piece Fa does not have a beer keg. In the downstream of the filling device 10, the measuring unit 10 of the beer drum on the downstream side of the star wheel 15 is on the conveying path 11. The weight measuring member 17 measures 40 the total weight after filling the beer. 10, not to the secluded 1 / Θ 9 Bu, there is a branch transport channel 18 opened by the wheel Siam 11 again. The branching wheel passage 18 is usually not made. Only when the starting section 19 is started, the sub-port (4) operates. When the beer _ total weight is less than the predetermined weight, the starting part is started _ and the relevant beer vat is fed into the branching conveyor 18 as it is conveyed through itlHU. That is, the branch conveying channel _ Wei is used to lead out the lead member of the beer 4 (). In addition, the member 60 is provided on the upstream side star wheel 13 of the member 60. The weight measuring member 17, the starting member 19, and the stopping member 6A are also electrically connected to the control unit 30. In this case, the control unit 3 is a digital computer that controls the entire filling device 1〇. As shown in Fig. 1, the control unit 3 includes: a filling speed class (tap 20 speed type) filling failure determining member 3!, which is used to judge the beer 捅 4 based on the filling speed of the beer filled into the beer tub 40. Whether or not the crucible is insufficiently filled, and a weight type filling failure determining member 32 is used to judge whether or not the beer jug is insufficiently filled according to the weight of the beer tub 4 after the beer tub 40 is filled with the beer. 15 200823146 '(4) Unit 3G contains: _ check count per-filling part F ^ failed money count; receive, - storage parts Μ, ,,, store various predetermined values, various measured values, and The operating program just got. As shown in the drawing, the filling speed type filling 2 determination member 31, the weight type filling failure determining member, the counter & and the storage unit 34 are connected to each other by two-way suppression. According to the operation program of the first embodiment of the present invention, the filling device 10 15 〇ΓΓ of the present invention is explained below with reference to Fig. 3. This operation program (10) is for the operation of the filling device F in the filling device. In this connection, in the following explanation, the multi-filled part F will be referred to as a filling part Fi (i = 1 to 2 〇). 〇 _ _ 1 1 step qing, obtain the current, barrel 4 〇 supply part tr • Count value Ni. • In the case where the supply phase (4) to the filling value Ν \ Γ filling member F5 'takes the count of the filling member F5 as shown in Fig. 4, the count value Ni of each filling portion is in the counter. The counting method is a map. Therefore, in this case, the current count value n5 of the mapping table is obtained in a single place. Next, in step 102, the upstream side star wheel 13 and the guide 14 are used to make the beer. The bucket 40 is moved by the transfer passage u (four) and is lost by the filling portion F5 'As described above. When the empty beer is rotated with the rotary passage 20, a predetermined weight of pre-stressed gas is filled in the beer tub through the supply line 55 + and then the pre-stressed gas is discharged through the discharge official line 56 to the outside... The filling phase F5 is filled with the 3 phase _ beer barrel 4 〇. The graph of Fig. 5 shows the relationship between the filling time and the beer flow rate (filling speed) 16 200823146 _ signal command value. In Fig. 5, the horizontal axis is The filling time of the beer. The vertical axis is the beer flow rate signal transmitted by the control unit 30. The flow rate control valve 26 actually controls the flow rate of the beer according to the signal command value of the beer flow rate shown in the graph. '5 As shown in Fig. 5 It is shown that from the time T to the time, the flow rate of the beer is gradually increased from the flow rate QA to the maximum flow rate QB. The reason for gradually increasing the beer flow rate is to prevent the carbon dioxide entangled in the beer from separating or foaming during filling. When the flow rate of the beer is increased to the maximum flow rate QB, the beer continues to be filled into the beer keg 40 at a maximum flow rate QB from time Τ1 to time 2. After that, the flow control valve 26 is closed at time ,2, 1 〇 This immediately turns off the supply of beer. Please refer to Fig. 3 again, in step 103, the flow rate table 25 is used to measure the actual filling speed V corresponding to the maximum flow rate qB2 signal command value after the time τι. Specifically, according to the flow rate data (transferred from the flow meter 25 to the control unit 3) and the known time (previously set), the actual filling speed of the beer is calculated to be 15 V. After filling the beer of the predetermined filling weight in step 104, the relevant beer hopper barrel 40 is made Moving to the vicinity of the downstream side star wheel 15. Next, the downstream side star rim and the guide 10 are returned to the associated beer barrel 40 by the rotating passage, for example, to the delivery passage 2. Thereafter, in step 105, The weight measuring member 17 measures the total weight z after the beer tub 40 is filled with soap/S. The filling speed V and the total weight 2 are temporarily stored in the storage member 34. Next, in step 1〇6, the filling speed class filling failure determination construct = determines whether the filling speed v is higher than the predetermined value v〇. The predetermined value v〇 is the filling of the beer-fillable beer cans under the flow of no pre-stressed body beer. 17 200823146 Upper limit of charging speed. This predetermined value % was previously found by experiment or the like. For example, the predetermined value V 〇 is 2 times or 3 times the maximum flow rate QB (command value) of Fig. 5. In the case where it is judged at step 106 that the filling speed v is higher than the predetermined value %, 5 can be judged that the pre-stressed gas in the beer stream and the pre-stressed gas compressed at the same pressure remain in the beer tub when the beer is filled. As described above, in this beer/tank 40, when the beer is withdrawn, the pre-stressed gas is extracted together with the beer. Therefore, it is highly probable that a large number of large diameter bubbles are generated at the beer level. It is not possible to draw beer from a beer keg 40 in an optimal manner. Therefore, it is determined that the 10 soap ' bucket 40/ is filled with sufficient beer regardless of the filling weight of the beer actually filled into the beer tub 40. Therefore, in the case where it is judged that the filling speed V is higher than the predetermined value v ,, the step 1 〇 8a starts the branch conveying path 18 by the starting member 19. As before, the filled associated beer keg 40 is moved by the conveying passage 11 to the branch conveying passage 18 and is taken out by the filling device 10. Next, in step 109a, the count value corresponding to the filling member of the relevant soap/tank 40 is added with "i,, (9) - 仏 +1). On the other hand, 'the filling speed V is judged at step 1 〇 6 The program below the predetermined value V〇 proceeds to step 107. In step 107, the weight type filling failure determining unit 32 determines whether the total weight 2 of the beer tub 4 after filling the beer is less than a predetermined value 22 The predetermined value Z2 is the beer filling weight plus the empty beer barrel weight maximum previously determined by statistical methods. In step 107, it is determined that the total weight 啤酒 of the beer keg 40 is less than a predetermined value Ζ2 due to the relevant soap bar 40 The beer fill weight is less than the predetermined beer fill weight' thus determining that the beer filled in the associated beer keg 40 is insufficient. For example, 18 200823146 For some reason, the flow control valve 26 of the fill member f5 is compared to the desired degree of opening. The closing direction will remain open to some extent. It is not possible to transport the beer keg that is not fully filled with beer. Therefore, the program continues to step 108b and the associated beer keg 5 () is extracted by the filling device 1 Therefore, even in the case where the drawing of the beer barrel does not fail or based on the remaining pre-stressed gas, it is possible to prevent the beer barrel 40 which is not sufficiently filled with beer from being delivered to the market. Further, as described above, in the step 10%, the relevant beer barrel 40. The count value of the filled filling part & 乂 is incremented by 1 (N5 < - N5 + I). 10 Next, in step 110, the latest count value N5 of the filling part 读取 is read and it is judged whether or not the count value Ns is Not less than the predetermined value Ν〇. The predetermined value is an integer not less than 1. When the step 110 determines that the count value 乂 is not greater than the predetermined value n ,, the process ends. The predetermined value Ν 0 is the productivity of the filling device 10 and the beer is not sufficiently filled. The production rate of beer 15 barrels is a "compromise". That is, the productivity of the filling device H) is increased in the case where the predetermined value Ν〇 is relatively high, however, the production rate of the beer barrel not fully filled with beer is also Conversely, in the case where the predetermined value team is relatively low, the rate of production of beer kegs that are not fully filled with beer is reduced, however, the productivity of the filling device 10 is also reduced. The operator can adapt to the above relationship. 20 locally determines the predetermined value N. In the step no, in the case where the count value N5 is not less than the predetermined value N, that is, the number of times the beer is filled in the beer keg 4 by the filling member is relatively large. In the case of the procedure, the program proceeds to step lu. In step ηι, the control unit_closed flow (four) valve 26 is used to prevent beer from being supplied from the storage tank 19 200823146 (not shown) to the associated filling member A. That is, flow control The valve 26 is used as a liquid filling stop member for stopping the filling of the beer (liquid) into the beer tub at the specific filling member Fi (for example, the filling member F5). As described above, even if the filling device 1 continues to operate, the filling The part F5 does not fill the beer into the other beer kegs 40. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where other beer kegs 40 continue to be filled with insufficient beer by the filling member Fs. Therefore, in the present invention, even if there is a case where the filling fails, it is not necessary to stop the entire filling device 10°. Further, in step 112, the stopping member 6〇 is started by the control unit 3〇 at a predetermined timing, thereby not A new empty beer keg 40 is supplied to the associated filling component Fs. Sections 6a and 6b are enlarged views of the enlarged partial filling device for explaining the stopping member. In the drawing, the stopping member 6A includes: a pair of connecting rods 62A disposed on one side of the conveying path ;; and a pair of connecting rods 62B disposed on the other side of the conveying path η to face the connecting rod 62A. As shown in the drawings, the connecting rods 62A are connected to have a predetermined degree of curvature therebetween. The corner portion of the pair of connecting rods 62A is formed as a rotatable shaft portion 63A. Similarly, the corner portion of the pair of connecting rods 62B is formed as a rotatable shaft portion 63B. As can be seen from Fig. 6a, the shaft portions 63, 63b of the stop member 6A are all offset from the conveying passage 11. 20 As shown by the younger brother, when the stop member 60 is actuated, the pair of connecting rods 62A, 62B are rotated in opposite directions about the respective turning portions 63A, 63B. As described above, one of the connecting rods 62, (8), and the end portion 61, each of which is adjacent to the conveying of the if line in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the end portions 61A, 61B of the connecting rods 62A 62B temporarily stop the beer tubs 4 that are transported in the transport path 2008 20 200823146. Because the relevant beer picks under the dry + ^ will not supply J related filling parts. When the member 6 is returned to the initial position and the step is rotated, the stop 4 < ^ can release the beer keg 40. Therefore, the beer barrel field i, the filling parts to the field next to the ^ ^, cattle 6. That is, the stopping member 60 allows the supply of the beer tub 0 to skip the failed filling member F5. 10 In this case, it is possible to surely prevent the relevant filling portion of the liver 5 from filling the beer into other beer. Therefore, it is possible to surely avoid the other: the casks are side-filled from the beer _ situation. It is particularly advantageous to use the stop member 60 when the flow control side 26 is solid - and not to stop the filling of the beer to the beer keg, that is, to use the stop member 60 when the step in is not possible. advantageous. As described above, in the present invention, the filling speed type filling failure determining member 31 and/or the weight type filling failure determining member 32 can easily determine whether or not the beer tub 40 is underfilled. Further, even in the case where a specific filling member can produce a beer can 40 which is insufficiently filled with 15 draft beer, it is possible to prevent the beer can be continuously filled with the beer filling tank 40 by using the flow control valve 26 and/or the stopping member 60. . In the particular embodiment explained with reference to the drawings, the flow meter 25 is disposed upstream of the flow control valve 26. However, the flow meter 25 can be disposed downstream of the flow rate control valve 26, for example, the flow meter 25 can be disposed within the filling head 23. In this case, the filling speed of the beer is measured directly using the flow meter 25. Therefore, it is apparent that it is possible to more reliably judge whether or not the beer tub 40 is filled with sufficient beer. One of the steps 106, 107 and one of the steps 111, I12 21 200823146 may be omitted. In step 106, the average of the fill speed V during the fill phase can be compared to another predetermined value. In a specific embodiment not shown in the drawings, the determination of the filling speed V and the predetermined value V 〇 in step 106 can be made before the filling of the beer in step 104 of Fig. 3. In the case where it is judged that the filling speed V is larger than the predetermined value VG while the beer is being filled, forcibly stopping the beer filling operation can reduce the waste of beer. Further, in a specific embodiment not shown in the drawings, in the case where the filling time is shorter than the predetermined value, the filling time can be used to judge the loss of the filled beer, instead of the filling speed V of the step 106. Also, in the case where the filling time is longer than the other predetermined value, the filling time can be used to judge the failure of the filled beer instead of the total weight Z of the step 107. It is obvious that the above circumstances are included in the scope of the present invention. The invention has been explained in terms of typical embodiments. However, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various changes, omissions, and additions without departing from the scope of the invention.
