DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: - I: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a filling method for filling a liquid (for example, beer) in a bucket (for example, a beer keg). The invention also relates to a filling device for performing the method. The invention also relates to containers filled by this method. C Prior Art 3 Background of the Invention Commercially available beer is usually bottled or canned. In addition, beer will be sold in glass 10 cups or mugs. In this case, the beer is brewed into a beer barrel or storage tank dedicated to alcoholism, and then transported to a restaurant and 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. In the brewing plant, a filling device is used to fill the beer in the beer keg. The 15 filling device contains a plurality of filling components. 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 roasting barrel, thereby pre-stressing the beer keg at a predetermined pressure. When the beer is filled in the beer keg, the 20 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. In this connection, it is known that the volume of the gas dissolved in the liquid changes with the temperature of the liquid, and as the temperature of the liquid rises, the volume of the gas which can be dissolved into the liquid is reduced. In the case where the liquid is beer, when the temperature of the beer is increased, 5 carbon dioxide dissolved in the beer is separated from the beer. ‘ When the delta filling device is deactivated for a long period of time, the temperature of the beer tends to rise especially during the summer months. In this case, the beer is smothered by filling in the beer in the beer barrel, and the beer may overflow during the filling of the barrel. Therefore, in the filling device of Japanese Utility Model No. 2583744, the back pressure (C〇Unter pressure) in the liquid filling tank is at most set to an appropriate pressure corresponding to the temperature of the liquid to be filled. In other words, in Japan, the new No. MS3744 towel, in the case where the temperature of the body to be filled is high, the back pressure in the liquid filling tank is also increased to suppress liquid foaming. The Japanese utility model No. MM% increases the back pressure by providing a gas such as an inert gas. Therefore, the volume of the inert gas to be supplied is also increased in the case where the temperature of the liquid to be filled is high. Especially in the summer, the beer S has a relatively high rise. Therefore, it is not economical to supply a large amount of inert pores. In addition, the use of a large number of emotional gases (for example, a large number of Μ ’ 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》

利瞭解。就此而論，就以下的解釋而言，啤酒是填入啤酒 桶。不過，應注意，上述情形只是例子，本發明涵蓋所有 把液體填入容器的情形。 第1圖的概念視圖係根據本發明圖示以。皁酒填充哮酒 桶的填充裝置。如第1圖所示的填充裝置10包含：一輸送通 道11(例如，輸送機）’其係用於在箭頭八方向輸送多個桶子 (例如’多個啤酒桶40);以及，一環形旋轉通道（annular rotary passage)20，其係配置於輸送通道u附近，用於在箭 頭B方向繼續輸送啤酒桶4〇。 在旋轉通道20中，沿著周向每隔一定間隔排列多個用 於填入啤酒於啤酒桶4〇的填充部件21(例如，2〇個填充部件 21)。在第1圖中，各在數個對應至位於旋轉通道2〇中之哞 酒桶40的位置提供填充部件21。 第2圖為沿著第1圖直線丨_〖繪出的填充部件之縱向橫截 面圖。在第2圖中，以啤酒桶40之金屬蓋朝下的方式配置啤 酒桶40於旋轉通道20上。在填充裝置1〇的上半部中，梦嗖 帶有伸縮桿(extensible r〇d)52的氣缸5 b在桿體52的前端部 备，聯結—組態大體為“+’，的夾鉗把手（clamp h⑽。當 操作氣缸51以伸出桿體52時，會把啤酒桶4〇夾在夾鉗把手 53、旋轉通道20之間。 填充部件21包含.能嚙合啤酒桶4〇之桶孔（未圖示）的填 5充頭23 ;以及，由啤酒儲存槽（未圖示）延伸至填充頭23的液 體輸送管22〇哞酒儲存槽（未圖示）内的哞酒係通過液體輸送 管22及填充頭23由桶孔填入啤酒桶4〇。 如附圖所示，在液體輪送管22中，配置一用於偵測啤 酒流入液體輸送管22之流率的流量表25。此外，在流量表 Π) 254曰目對於啤酒流動的下游中，配置一用於控制哮酒流率的 流量控制閥26 »在第-控制閥26與填充頭23之間配置一用 於測量啤酒流入液體輸送管22時之溫度的測溫部件24。測 Η牛24 〇IL嚴表25及第一流量控制閥％均電性連接至隨 後會加以描述的控制單元3〇。 15 就此而論，測溫部件24的配置位置可不同於第2圖所示 的位置。例如，測溫部件24可併入填充頭23。此外，測溫 部件2 4可測量啤酒儲存槽（未圖示）内啤酒的溫度。 匕卜在第2圖中，圖示一用於在填入啤酒於啤酒桶4〇 之刖供給預應力氣體至啤酒桶40内的供給管55，以及一用 2〇於排放啤酒桶40之預應力氣體的排放管線％。該預應力氣 體為情性氣體’例如二氧化破或氮。該預應力氣體的功能 疋在真充皁/酉於啤酒桶4〇内時用來防止溶入啤酒的二氧化 碳分離或起泡。就此而論，在排放管線56中，配置一用於 控制預應力氣體之排放流率的第二控制閥57。此-第二控 13 1337979 制閥57也電性連接至控制單元30。儘管本文沒有解釋細 節，供給至啤酒桶40的預應力氣體係通過排放管線56隨著 啤酒填充操作的進展而排放。 請再參考第1圖，已輸送到輸送通道11上的啤酒桶40是 5 用配置於輸送方向A之上游側的星形輪(star Wheel)13與導 件14，進一步輸送到旋轉通道20。當旋轉通道20使已輸送 到旋轉通道20的啤酒桶40沿著箭頭b方向旋轉時，用一個填 充部件21來填入啤酒於啤酒桶40。 換言之’當旋轉通道20由在上游側星形輪13的啤酒桶 10 引入位置旋轉到位於下游側星形輪15的啤酒桶引出位置 時’啤酒桶40會填入預定數量的啤酒。填入啤酒的啤酒桶 40用下游側上的星形輪15與導件16送回到輸送通道11。由 於填充裝置有上述構造，位於星形輪13、15之間的填充部 件21a不會有啤酒桶40。 15 在填充裝置1〇中’在下游側星形輪15的下游中配置一 在輸送通道11上的測重構件17。測重構件17係測量啤酒桶 40填入啤酒之後的總重量。 如附圖所示，在測重構件17的下游中，有一由輸送通 道11又開的分枝輸送通道18。分枝輸送通道18通常不運 20作。只有起動部件（starting section)19被發動時，分枝輸送 通道18才運作。在啤酒桶40的總重量（已用測重構件17測出） 小於預定值Z2時，才起動起動部件19而且把相關啤酒桶40 由輸送通道11引出進入分枝輸送通道18。亦即，分枝輸送 通道18的功能為用於引出啤酒桶4〇的引出構件。 14 測重構件17與起動部件19也都電性連接至控制單元 30。就此情形而言，控制單元30為一數位電腦，其係控制 正個填充裝置10。控制單元30包含一儲存部件34，其係用 於儲存各種預定值、各種測量值、對映表、以及—下文會 5加以描述的操作程式100。 第3圖的流裎圖係根據本發明第一具體實施例圖示填 充裝置的操作程式。下文參考第3圖，解釋本發明填充裝置 的操作。 在第3圖操作程式100的步驟101中，用測溫部件24測量 10液體輸送管22中之啤酒的溫度Θ。接下來，在步驟1〇2中， 啤酒溫度Θ與控制單元30之中的預定溫度％比較。如果啤酒 溫度Θ不高於預定溫度0〇，程式前進到步驟1〇7。 另一方面，如果啤酒溫度Θ高於預定值0〇，程式前進到 步驟103。例如，夏季，填充裝置停用一段長時間會造成啤 15酒溫度θ超過預定值θ〇的情形。在步驟103中，改變填充速 度函數f(T)，其係與用於填入啤酒於啤酒桶40的填充速度ν 有關。 第4圖圖示填充速度函數的對映表。如第4圖所示，多 個隨著啤酒溫度Θ而不同的填充速度函數代丁)係預先儲存於 20控制單元30的儲存部件34。用以下方式來預先設定該等填 充速度函數f(T):在啤酒溫度θ上升時可減少填充速度¥並 延長填充時間。預先用實驗等等來找出該等填充速度函數 f(T)。在步驟103中，根據測得的啤酒溫度㊀，來選定填充速 度函數f(T)。在不必改變填充速度函數f(T)的情形下，照樣 15 使用已預設適用於正常情況的填充速度函數。就此情形而 吕，正常情况的定義是啤酒溫度處於相對低的情況，例如， 啤酒溫度大約有2°c。 以下參考圖示啤酒填充速度與時間之關係的第5圖，對 填充速度函數特別加以解釋。在第5圖中，縱軸為啤酒的填 充速度而橫軸為時間。圖示於第5圖的曲線X0為啤酒在正常 情況上的填充速度函數。曲線XI為填充速度函數f(T)不在 正常情況下的一個例子。 首先’參考曲線X0，以處於正常情況的填充裝置10解 釋填充速度。當在時間0開始填充啤酒時，以均勻加速度增 加填充速度V直到時間TA0。稱由時間〇至時間ΤΑ0的這段時 間為初始填充時段。在時間TA0後，啤酒填充速度V會進一 步增加。在時間ΤΒ0時，啤酒填充速度V到達最大填充速度 VA0 〇 接下來’繼續以最大填充速度VA0填充啤酒直到時間 TC0。稱由時間ΤΒ0至時間TC0的這段時間為最大填充速度 時段。之後，啤酒填充速度V在填充完成時間ΤΕ0減少至 零。在時間ΤΕ0，啤酒桶40會填入預定重量的啤酒。 在步驟103中，如果已選定填充速度函數f(T)，則使正 常狀態的填充速度函數在X軸方向偏移成如曲線XI所示。 曲線X0、XI與X軸所包圍的面積與待填入啤酒桶4〇之哗酒 的填充重量相對應。應注意，即使改變填充速度函數，此 一面積也不會改變。換言之，是以不改變啤酒填充重量的 方式來決定第4圖對映表的填充速度函數f(T) ^只要補足。卑 1337979 酒的填充重量，可選定填充時間延長的填充速度函數而不 用改變最大填充速度。 如圖示，時間TA1(此時曲線XI的初始填充時段結束） 會比前述的時間TAO長。此外，曲線XI的填充完成時間TE1 5 會比曲線X0的時間TEO長。 在曲線XI的初始填充時段中，如同曲線X0，填充速度 V會以均勻加速度增加。在曲線XI的初始填充時段中，填 充速度V的梯度β係經設定成小於曲線xo之初始填充時段 的梯度(X。此外，由第5圖可見，曲線XI的最大填充速度VA1 10 會小於曲線Χ0的最大填充速度VA0。 如上述，在本發明中，如果啤酒溫度Θ相對高，則延長 填充時間且放慢填充速度。因此，可補足填入啤酒桶4〇之 啤酒的填充重量。 當在第3圖的步驟103中根據哞酒溫度Θ來選定填充速 15度函數f(T)時’與正常情況相比，填充速度V會減少且填充 70成時間TE會延長。不過，填入啤酒桶40之啤酒的填充重 量不會改變。 接下來，在步驟104中，由依照啤酒溫度θ選定的填充 速度函數f(T)計算出填充完成時間了£。在選定填充速度函 數中’填充完成時間丁]£為兩個填充速度V為零的時間中之 車乂長者。可由選定填充速度函數f(T)計算出填充完成時間 E替換地’可由預先儲存於與填充完成時間TE有關之儲 存。Η牛34的對映表(未圖示)選出填充完成時間τΕ。 接下來，在步驟105中，判斷填充完成時間ΤΕ是否比預 17 疋值TO長。如上述，正當沿著箭頭方向B在旋轉通道20上由 上游側星形輪13輸送啤酒桶40到下游側星形輪15時，進行 用於填充預定填充重量之啤酒於啤酒桶4〇的填充操作。預 定值T0大體與可使旋轉通道2〇由上游側星形輪13旋轉到下 游側星形輪15時所需要的時段一致。 如果填充完成時間TE比預定值T0長，程式前進到步驟 106。在步驟ι06中，用以下方式改變旋轉通道2〇的轉速q : %轉通道20由上游側星形輪13旋轉到下游側星形輪15時所 需要的時段可以比填充完成時間TE長。 可由列出填充完成時間TE與旋轉通道2〇之轉速Q的關 係（預先用實驗等等來找出）的對映表（第6圖）來決定此一轉 迷Q。如前述，在旋轉通道2〇由上游側星形輪13旋轉及到達 下游側星形輪15之前，可將預定填充重量的啤酒填入啤酒 桶40。 接下來，在步驟107中，用上游側星形輪13與導件14 使空啤酒桶40由輸送通道U移動到旋轉通道加，然後如前 述用對應的填充部件21夾住。在空啤酒桶4〇與旋轉通道2〇 —起旋轉時，由填充部件21的填充頭23填入預定填充重量 的啤酒於啤酒桶40。 根據正常情況的填充速度函數或根據在步驟103改變 的填充速度函數f(T)來填人啤酒於啤、;§彳_。如先前在第5 圖描述時說明的，啤酒的填充速度何隨著時間用填充速度 函數來改變。啤·填純度V主要是藉由觀設於液體輸 送管22的第-控制閥26的開度(如卵〇f响岀㈣來改變。 1337979 如第7a圖所示，在控制單元30的'儲存部件从中，儲存 列出填充速度V與第一控制閥26的開度α之關係的對映 表。在此一對映表令，當要求的填充速度ν減少時，第一控 制閥26的開度C1也跟著減少。根據此一對映表，用與要求 填充速度V對應的開度來設定第一控制閥％的開度c 1。當 每個時間單位都進行上述設定時，根據填充速度函數可輕 易地改成最適當的填充速度V。[韵] 明内考^ J 1337979 In other words, in the third aspect, in the case where the liquid temperature is relatively high, the filling speed of the liquid is reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Similar elements in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. The proportions of the drawings have been appropriately changed to facilitate understanding. In this connection, for the following explanation, beer is filled into beer barrels. However, it should be noted that the above situation is merely an example, and the present invention covers all cases in which a liquid is filled into a container. The conceptual view of Figure 1 is illustrated in accordance with the present invention. Soap wine fills the barrel filling device. The filling device 10 as shown in Fig. 1 comprises: a conveying passage 11 (e.g., conveyor) for transporting a plurality of buckets (e.g., 'multiple beer kegs 40) in the direction of the arrow; and a ring An orbital rotary passage 20 is disposed adjacent the conveying passage u for continuing to convey the beer keg 4 in the direction of arrow B. In the rotary passage 20, a plurality of filling members 21 (e.g., two filling members 21) for filling the beer in the beer tub 4 are arranged at regular intervals along the circumferential direction. In Fig. 1, the filling member 21 is provided at a position corresponding to each of the kegs 40 located in the rotary passage 2A. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the filling member drawn along the line 丨_ of Fig. 1. In Fig. 2, the beer keg 40 is placed on the rotary passage 20 with the metal lid of the beer tub 40 facing downward. In the upper half of the filling device 1 ,, the cylinder 5 b of the nightmare with an extensible rod 52 is provided at the front end of the rod 52, and the coupling is configured as a "+" clamp. Clamp h (10). When the cylinder 51 is operated to extend the rod 52, the beer barrel 4 is clamped between the clamp handle 53 and the rotating passage 20. The filling member 21 comprises a barrel hole capable of engaging the beer barrel 4 a filling head 23 (not shown); and a liquid discharging pipe (not shown) extending from the beer storage tank (not shown) to the liquid conveying pipe 22 of the filling head 23; The delivery tube 22 and the filling head 23 are filled into the beer tub 4 by the barrel holes. As shown in the drawing, in the liquid transfer tube 22, a flow meter 25 for detecting the flow rate of the beer flowing into the liquid delivery tube 22 is disposed. In addition, in the downstream of the flow meter 254, for the flow of beer, a flow control valve 26 for controlling the flow rate of the wine is arranged. » Between the first control valve 26 and the filling head 23 is configured for measurement. The temperature measuring component 24 when the beer flows into the liquid delivery pipe 22. The yak 24 〇IL strict table 25 and the first flow control valve% Electrically connected to the control unit 3 随后 which will be described later. 15 In this connection, the position of the temperature measuring member 24 can be different from the position shown in Fig. 2. For example, the temperature measuring member 24 can be incorporated into the filling head 23. Further, the temperature measuring member 24 can measure the temperature of the beer in the beer storage tank (not shown). In Fig. 2, the illustration shows a method for supplying pre-stressed gas after filling the beer in the beer tank. The supply pipe 55 into the beer keg 40, and the discharge line % of the pre-stressed gas used to discharge the beer keg 40. The pre-stressed gas is an inert gas such as dioxide or nitrogen. The function is used to prevent carbon dioxide separation or foaming dissolved in the beer when it is filled in the beer barrel. In this connection, in the discharge line 56, a discharge flow rate for controlling the pre-stressed gas is arranged. The second control valve 57. This second control 13 1337979 valve 57 is also electrically connected to the control unit 30. Although no details are explained herein, the pre-stressed gas system supplied to the beer keg 40 is filled with beer through the discharge line 56. Emissions from the progress of the operation. Referring again to Fig. 1, the beer keg 40 that has been conveyed onto the conveying path 11 is further conveyed to the rotary passage 20 by a star wheel 13 and a guide 14 disposed on the upstream side of the conveying direction A. When the rotary duct 20 rotates the beer tub 40 that has been transported to the rotary passage 20 in the direction of the arrow b, a filling member 21 is used to fill the beer in the beer tub 40. In other words, 'when the rotary passage 20 is from the upstream side star wheel 13 When the beer keg 10 is rotated to the beer tubing take-out position of the downstream side star wheel 15, the beer keg 40 is filled with a predetermined amount of beer. The beer keg 40 filled with beer is used with the star wheel 15 on the downstream side. The guide 16 is returned to the delivery channel 11. Since the filling device has the above configuration, the filling member 21a between the star wheels 13, 15 does not have the beer tub 40. 15 In the filling device 1', a weight measuring member 17 on the conveying path 11 is disposed in the downstream of the downstream side star wheel 15. The weight measuring member 17 measures the total weight of the beer tub 40 after it is filled with beer. As shown in the drawing, in the downstream of the weight measuring member 17, there is a branch conveying passage 18 which is opened again by the conveying passage 11. The branch delivery channel 18 is typically not used. The branch delivery channel 18 operates only when the starting section 19 is activated. When the total weight of the beer keg 40 (measured by the weight measuring member 17) is less than the predetermined value Z2, the starting member 19 is activated and the associated beer keg 40 is led out of the conveying path 11 into the branch conveying path 18. That is, the function of the branch conveying passage 18 is to take out the take-up member of the beer tub 4 。. The weight measuring member 17 and the starting member 19 are also electrically connected to the control unit 30. In this case, the control unit 30 is a digital computer that controls the positive filling device 10. Control unit 30 includes a storage component 34 for storing various predetermined values, various measurements, a mapping table, and an operating program 100 as described below. The flow chart of Fig. 3 illustrates the operation of the filling device in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention. The operation of the filling apparatus of the present invention is explained below with reference to Fig. 3. In step 101 of the operation program 100 of Fig. 3, the temperature Θ of the beer in the liquid delivery pipe 22 is measured by the temperature measuring unit 24. Next, in step 1〇2, the beer temperature 比较 is compared with a predetermined temperature % in the control unit 30. If the beer temperature is not higher than the predetermined temperature 0, the program proceeds to step 1〇7. On the other hand, if the beer temperature Θ is higher than the predetermined value 0 〇, the program proceeds to step 103. For example, in the summer, when the filling device is deactivated for a long period of time, the beer liquefaction temperature θ exceeds a predetermined value θ 。. In step 103, the filling speed function f(T) is changed, which is related to the filling speed ν for filling the beer in the beer tub 40. Figure 4 illustrates the mapping table for the fill speed function. As shown in Fig. 4, a plurality of filling speed functions which are different depending on the temperature of the beer are stored in advance in the storage member 34 of the control unit 30. The filling speed function f(T) is preset in such a manner that the filling speed can be reduced and the filling time can be extended when the beer temperature θ rises. Experiment with the experiment and so on to find the filling speed function f(T). In step 103, the filling speed function f(T) is selected based on the measured beer temperature one. In the case where it is not necessary to change the filling speed function f(T), the filling speed function that has been preset to be suitable for normal use is used as it is. In this case, the normal situation is defined as the case where the beer temperature is relatively low, for example, the beer temperature is about 2 °c. The filling speed function is specifically explained below with reference to Fig. 5, which shows the relationship between beer filling speed and time. In Fig. 5, the vertical axis represents the filling speed of the beer and the horizontal axis represents time. The curve X0 shown in Fig. 5 is a function of the filling speed of the beer under normal conditions. Curve XI is an example where the filling speed function f(T) is not under normal conditions. First, the reference filling curve X0 is used to explain the filling speed with the filling device 10 in a normal condition. When the beer is filled at time 0, the filling speed V is increased with a uniform acceleration until time TA0. The time from time 〇 to time ΤΑ0 is called the initial filling period. After the time TA0, the beer filling speed V will further increase. At time ΤΒ0, the beer filling speed V reaches the maximum filling speed VA0 〇 Next 'continues to fill the beer at the maximum filling speed VA0 until time TC0. The period from time ΤΒ0 to time TC0 is called the maximum filling speed period. Thereafter, the beer filling speed V is reduced to zero at the filling completion time ΤΕ0. At time ΤΕ0, the beer keg 40 will be filled with a predetermined weight of beer. In step 103, if the filling speed function f(T) has been selected, the filling speed function of the normal state is shifted in the X-axis direction as shown by the curve XI. The area enclosed by the curves X0, XI and the X-axis corresponds to the filling weight of the alcohol to be filled in the beer keg. It should be noted that this area does not change even if the filling speed function is changed. In other words, the filling speed function f(T) of the map of Fig. 4 is determined so as not to change the filling weight of the beer.卑 1337979 The fill weight of the wine, the fill speed function with a longer fill time can be selected without changing the maximum fill speed. As shown, time TA1 (at this point the initial fill period of curve XI ends) will be longer than the aforementioned time TAO. Furthermore, the fill completion time TE1 5 of curve XI will be longer than the time TEO of curve X0. In the initial filling period of the curve XI, as with the curve X0, the filling speed V increases with a uniform acceleration. In the initial filling period of curve XI, the gradient β of the filling velocity V is set to be smaller than the gradient of the initial filling period of the curve xo (X. Furthermore, as can be seen from Fig. 5, the maximum filling velocity VA1 10 of the curve XI is smaller than the curve. The maximum filling speed VA0 of Χ0. As described above, in the present invention, if the beer temperature Θ is relatively high, the filling time is prolonged and the filling speed is slowed down. Therefore, the filling weight of the beer filled in the beer keg can be complemented. In step 103 of Fig. 3, when the filling speed 15 degree function f(T) is selected according to the drinking temperature Θ, the filling speed V is reduced and the filling time 70 is extended compared with the normal case. However, filling the beer The filling weight of the beer of the tub 40 does not change. Next, in step 104, the filling completion time is calculated from the filling speed function f(T) selected in accordance with the beer temperature θ. The filling is completed in the selected filling speed function. Time ]] is the rut of the two times when the filling speed V is zero. The filling completion time E can be calculated by the selected filling speed function f(T), which can be stored in advance and when the filling is completed. The storage related to TE. The mapping completion time τΕ is selected in the mapping table (not shown) of the yak 34. Next, in step 105, it is judged whether or not the filling completion time ΤΕ is longer than the pre-17 TO value TO. As described above, the right edge When the arrow direction B conveys the beer tub 40 to the downstream side star wheel 15 from the upstream side star wheel 13 on the rotary passage 20, a filling operation for filling the beer of the predetermined filling weight into the beer tub 4 is performed. The predetermined value T0 Generally, the time period required for rotating the rotary passage 2〇 from the upstream side star wheel 13 to the downstream side star wheel 15 is coincident. If the filling completion time TE is longer than the predetermined value T0, the program proceeds to step 106. In step ι06 In the following manner, the rotation speed q of the rotary passage 2 is changed in the following manner: The period required for the rotation of the upstream passage star wheel 13 from the upstream side star wheel 13 to the downstream side star wheel 15 may be longer than the filling completion time TE. The relationship between the completion time TE and the rotational speed Q of the rotary channel 2 (previously found by experiments, etc.) (Fig. 6) determines this revolving Q. As described above, the rotary channel 2 is upstream. Side star wheel 13 rotates and arrives Before the downstream side star wheel 15, the beer of a predetermined filling weight can be filled into the beer keg. Next, in step 107, the empty beer keg 40 is moved by the conveying path U by the upstream side star wheel 13 and the guide 14. Adding to the rotary passage, and then clamping with the corresponding filling member 21 as described above. When the empty beer tub 4 is rotated with the rotary passage 2, the filling head 23 of the filling member 21 fills the beer with a predetermined filling weight in the beer. Bucket 40. Filling the beer in beer according to the normal filling speed function or according to the filling speed function f(T) changed in step 103; § 彳 _. As described in the description of Fig. 5, the filling of the beer The speed is changed with the fill speed function over time. The beer filling purity V is mainly changed by viewing the opening degree of the first-control valve 26 provided in the liquid delivery pipe 22 (such as the egg 〇 f 岀 (4). 1337979 as shown in Fig. 7a, at the control unit 30' From the storage component, a mapping table listing the relationship between the filling speed V and the opening degree α of the first control valve 26 is stored. Here, the pairing table indicates that when the required filling speed ν decreases, the first control valve 26 The opening degree C1 is also decreased. According to the pairing table, the opening degree c1 of the first control valve % is set by the opening degree corresponding to the required filling speed V. When the above setting is performed for each time unit, according to the filling The speed function can be easily changed to the most appropriate filling speed V.
如則述，當啤酒溫度昇高時，溶入啤酒的二氧化碳容 易分啤酒分離而起泡。反之，在本發明中，啤酒填充速度 10會隨著啤酒度降低，藉此在填充咩酒時可抑制啤酒起 泡。因此’在本發明中，不必設定啤酒桶4〇中之預應力氣 體的壓力於尚數值以便抑制啤酒起泡。換言之，在本發明 中，不使用大I預應力氣體，亦即，惰性氣體，仍有可能 抑制啤酒起泡。 15 f以此方式相桶4G填人預定重量料酒而且移動到 下游側星形輪15附近時，哮酒桶4〇藉由下游側星形輪15與 導件從旋轉通道20返回到輪送通_。接下來，用測重 構件Π測量總重量Z(啤酒桶4〇本身的重量與啤酒的填充重 量）(步驟108)。 接下來在步驟109中，判斷總重量Z是否小於填充後 啤酒桶參考總重量Z2。就此情形Μ，填充㈣酒桶參考 20 總重量Ζ2為預先儲存於控制單元3()之儲存部件％的預定 值。此-填充彳^酒桶參考總重量z2是財酒填充重量加 上工皁@桶重量 大值（預先用統計方法測定)所得到的 19 1337979 數值。 如果重量Z小於填充後啤酒桶參考總重量Z2,則可判定 填充後啤酒桶40的啤酒填充不足。就此情形而言，由控制 單元30傳送訊號至起動部件19，藉此起動分枝輸送通道 5 18。如前述，填充後啤酒桶40會由輸送通道11移動到分枝 輸送通道18且由填充裝置10引出（步驟110)。以此方式，可 防止啤酒填充不足的填充後啤酒桶40輸送到市場。 另一方面，如果總重量Z不小於填充後啤酒桶參考總重 量Z2，可判定這不是啤酒填充不足的啤酒桶。就此情形而 10 言，起動部件19不起作用且使相關的填充後啤酒桶40在輸 送通道11上照樣移動到下一個步驟。以此方式，完成圖示 於第3圖的操作程式100。 如先前在說明第5圖時所解釋的，在本發明中，填充速 度V在初始填充時段的梯度最好減少到，例如梯度β。一般 15 而言，在啤酒衝撞啤酒桶40的内表面時，啤酒會起泡。特 別是，在剛開始填充啤酒時啤酒容易衝撞桶子的内面。因 此，藉由減少填充速度V在初始填充時段的梯度，有可能抑 制啤酒在初始填充時段起泡。 眾所周知，如果啤酒初始填充時段起泡，若是依然繼 20 續填充啤酒時，泡床會繼續產生。因此，如果可抑制初始 填充時段造成的起泡作用（foaming action)，就有可能抑制 初始填充時段之起泡作用所造成的啤酒連續起泡作用。因 此，藉由減少填充速度V在初始填充時段的梯度來抑制初始 填充時段的起泡特別較佳。如前述，在填充啤酒時可有效 20 1337979 抑制啤酒的起泡。就此而論’藉由調整設於排放管線56的 第二控制閥57也可改變填充速度V。第7b圖為與第7a圖類似 的視圖，其係圖示填充速度與第二控制閥57之開度C2的對 映表。在此一對映表上，當填充速度v減少時’第二控制閥 5 57的開度C2也會減少。如果第二控制閥57的開度C2減少， 則空啤酒桶40中之預應力氣體通過排放管線56排出的體積 會減少。因此，預應力氣體在啤酒桶40中可保持相對高的 壓力。 結果，哞酒難以由填充頭23流入啤酒桶4〇。因此，藉 10由減少第二控制閥57的開度C2，最終可減少啤酒的填充速 度V。如同上述方式，當使用對映表時’根據填充速度函數 可輕易地改成最適當的填充速度V。 至於第7b圖，待使用的預應力氣體（亦即，惰性氣體) 的體積會增加，這不具經濟性。因此，最好藉由調整第一 15控制閥26的開度C1與第二控制閥57的開度C2來改變填充 速度V。就此情形而言，可使用圖示於第7c圖的對映表，其 係列出填充速度V、第一控制閥26的開度C1、第二控制閥 57的開度C2之間的關係。 就此情形而言，藉由加上第二控制閥57的開度，能協 20助填充速度V的減少。當此一情形與填充速度v只藉由調整 第二控制閥57來控制的情形比較時’由於待使用預應力氣 體的積體會減少，是經濟角度視之，此一情形是有利的。 此外’藉由調整第一控制閥26、第二控制閥57兩者，可快 速調整填充速度V。 21 1337979 就此而論，在第5圖中，是以均勻的加速度改變初始填 充時段的填充速度。不過，即使是以分步或曲線的形式來 改變初始填充時段的填充速度V，只要填充速度V會小於正 常情況的填充速度V，這仍在本發明的範疇内。 5 如前述，在本發明中，在啤酒溫度相對低的情形下， 例如，約2°C，吾等將此情形稱作一般情況。當啤酒溫度高 於一般情況的溫度時，則填充速度函數是選擇對於正常情 況是在高溫那一邊的。不過，在把相對高（例如，約l〇°C) 的啤酒溫度設定成一般情況的情形下，以及在啤酒溫度低 10 於一般情況的情形下，可根據啤酒溫度來選擇對於正常情 況為是在低溫那一邊的填充速度函數。如果啤酒溫度高於 一般情況，可根據啤酒溫度來選擇對於一般情況為是在高 溫那一邊的填充速度函數。顯然，這兩種情形都涵蓋在本 發明的範嘴内。 15 以上是以典型的具體實施例來解釋本發明。不過，應 注意，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】 第1圖的概念視圖係根據本發明圖示以啤酒填充啤酒 20 桶的填充裝置。 第2圖為沿著第1圖直線I -1繪出的填充部件之縱向橫載 面圖。 第3圖的流程圖係圖示本發明填充裝置的操作程式。 第4圖列出填充速度函數的對映表。 22 1337979 第5圖圖示啤酒填充速度與時間的關係。 第6圖列出填充完成時間（filling finish time)與旋轉速 度的對映表。 第7a圖列出填充速度與第一控制閥26之開度C1的對映 5 表。 第7b圖列出填充速度與第二控制閥57之開度C2的對映 表。 第7c圖列出填充速度、第一控制閥26之開度C1、第二 控制闊57之開度C2的對映表。 10 【主要元件符號說明】 10…填充裝置 24···測溫構件 11…輸送通道 25…流量表 13…星形輪 26···液體控制閥 14…導件 30…控制單元 15…星形輪 34…儲存部件 16…導件 40…啤酒桶 17…測重構件 51…氣缸 18…分枝輸送通道 52…桿體 19…起動部件 53…夾甜把手 20…旋轉通道 55···供給管 21…填充部件 56…排放管線 21a···填充部件 57···控制閥 22…液體輸送管 100…操作程式 23…填充頭 101-110…步驟 23 1337979As described above, when the temperature of the beer is raised, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the beer is easily separated by the beer and foamed. On the contrary, in the present invention, the beer filling speed 10 is lowered with the degree of beer, whereby beer foaming can be suppressed when filling the alcohol. Therefore, in the present invention, it is not necessary to set the pressure of the pre-stressed gas in the beer tub 4 to a value in order to suppress beer foaming. In other words, in the present invention, it is possible to suppress beer foaming without using a large I prestressed gas, i.e., an inert gas. 15 f In this manner, when the barrel 4G is filled with the predetermined weight cooking wine and moved to the vicinity of the downstream side star wheel 15, the roasting barrel 4 is returned from the rotating passage 20 to the turning feed by the downstream side star wheel 15 and the guide. _. Next, the total weight Z (the weight of the beer tub 4 〇 itself and the filling weight of the beer) is measured by the weight measuring member 步骤 (step 108). Next, in step 109, it is judged whether or not the total weight Z is smaller than the reference beer total reference weight Z2 after filling. In this case, the filling (4) vat reference 20 total weight Ζ 2 is a predetermined value of the storage component % previously stored in the control unit 3 (). This -filled 彳^ vat reference total weight z2 is the 19 1337979 value obtained from the treasury filling weight plus the working soap @ barrel weight large value (predetermined statistically). If the weight Z is less than the reference beer total weight Z2 after filling, it can be determined that the beer of the beer keg 40 after filling is insufficiently filled. In this case, the signal is transmitted from the control unit 30 to the starting unit 19, whereby the branch conveying path 5 18 is activated. As before, the filled beer keg 40 is moved by the delivery channel 11 to the branch delivery channel 18 and is withdrawn by the filling device 10 (step 110). In this way, the beer-filled beer can 40 can be prevented from being delivered to the market after the beer is underfilled. On the other hand, if the total weight Z is not less than the reference total weight Z2 of the beer barrel after filling, it can be judged that this is not a beer barrel with insufficient beer filling. In this case, the starting member 19 does not function and the associated filled beer keg 40 is moved to the next step on the transport path 11. In this way, the operating program 100 illustrated in Fig. 3 is completed. As explained earlier in the description of Fig. 5, in the present invention, the gradient of the filling speed V during the initial filling period is preferably reduced to, for example, the gradient β. In general, beer will foam when the beer collides with the inner surface of the beer keg 40. In particular, beer tends to collide with the inside of the bucket when it is initially filled with beer. Therefore, by reducing the gradient of the filling speed V in the initial filling period, it is possible to suppress the foaming of the beer during the initial filling period. It is well known that if the beer is foamed during the initial filling period, the bubble bed will continue to be produced if the beer is still filled. Therefore, if the foaming action caused by the initial filling period can be suppressed, it is possible to suppress the continuous foaming action of the beer caused by the foaming action in the initial filling period. Therefore, it is particularly preferable to suppress the foaming in the initial filling period by reducing the gradient of the filling speed V in the initial filling period. As mentioned above, it is effective to inhibit the foaming of beer when filling beer. In this connection, the filling speed V can also be changed by adjusting the second control valve 57 provided in the discharge line 56. Fig. 7b is a view similar to Fig. 7a, showing a map of the filling speed and the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 57. On this pair of maps, when the filling speed v is decreased, the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 5 57 is also reduced. If the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 57 is decreased, the volume of the pre-stressed gas in the empty beer tub 40 discharged through the discharge line 56 is reduced. Therefore, the pre-stressed gas can maintain a relatively high pressure in the beer keg 40. As a result, alcoholism is difficult to flow from the filling head 23 into the beer keg. Therefore, by reducing the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 57, the filling speed V of the beer can be finally reduced. As in the above manner, when the mapping table is used, it can be easily changed to the most appropriate filling speed V according to the filling speed function. As for the Fig. 7b, the volume of the prestressed gas to be used (i.e., the inert gas) is increased, which is not economical. Therefore, it is preferable to change the filling speed V by adjusting the opening degree C1 of the first control valve 26 and the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 57. In this case, an alignment table shown in Fig. 7c can be used, which sets the relationship between the filling speed V, the opening degree C1 of the first control valve 26, and the opening degree C2 of the second control valve 57. In this case, by adding the opening degree of the second control valve 57, the reduction in the filling speed V can be assisted. When this situation is compared with the case where the filling speed v is controlled only by adjusting the second control valve 57, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of economy since the accumulation of the pre-stressed gas to be used is reduced. Further, by adjusting both the first control valve 26 and the second control valve 57, the filling speed V can be quickly adjusted. 21 1337979 In this connection, in Fig. 5, the filling speed of the initial filling period is changed with a uniform acceleration. However, even if the filling speed V of the initial filling period is changed in the form of a step or a curve, as long as the filling speed V is smaller than the normal filling speed V, it is still within the scope of the present invention. 5 As described above, in the present invention, in the case where the beer temperature is relatively low, for example, about 2 ° C, we refer to this case as a general case. When the beer temperature is higher than the normal temperature, the filling speed function is selected to be on the high temperature side for normal conditions. However, in the case where the beer temperature of a relatively high (for example, about 10 ° C) is set to a general condition, and in the case where the beer temperature is lower than 10 in general, it can be selected according to the beer temperature for the normal case. The filling speed function on the low temperature side. If the beer temperature is higher than normal, the filling speed function for the general side is the high temperature side depending on the beer temperature. Obviously, both of these situations are covered by the scope of the present invention. 15 The present 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.
