Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for filling containers with liquid under pressure, and more particularly to an apparatus which is used in an automatic filling machine for filling bottles with a liquid containing a gas.
  • an inlet tube and an outlet tube for gas are inserted into the container.
  • the air or carbonic acid is under pressure in the outlet tube, and when the space in the container above the liquid is vented, the air in the outlet tube expands into the liquid and causes foaming of the same.
  • the foaming liquid is discharged from the bottle or container it is necessary to fill the liquid in very cold condition, and to very gradually relieve the pressure in the filled container, which results in comparatively slow and uneconomical filling operations.
  • Another object of the invention is to release air and gas compressed in the outlet tube into the container at a level above the level of the liquid in the filled container.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and reliably operating filling apparatus constructed of a few parts.
  • one embodiment of the invention comprises a tube which is inserted into a container or bottle for receiving the discharged air when the bottle is being filled, valve means forming a valve chamber having a lower inlet located at the desired level of a liquid in the container, and a higher outlet, a removable valve element, such as a ball heavier than the liquid and being movable between positions closing the inlet and the tube, respectively, and an open position, and a movable valve member having a normal position for blocking passage of air through the outlet and an actuated position permitting passage of air through the outlet.
  • the liquid enters the container while the air and gas in the container escapes through the inserted tube, while moving the ball to the position in which the inlet of the valve chamber, and the tube are open.
  • the escaping gas produces a greater pressure and moves the ball to a position closing the outlet tube so that gas and air can no longer escape, and the ow of liquid into the container is terminated.
  • the device is raised, and the supply of pressure liquid separated from the container so that the ball drops to a position closing the inlet to the valve chamber.
  • valve chamber When the space in the container above the liquid is now vented and connected to atmospheric pressure, the pressure in the valve chamber is greater than in the container, and the movable valve member responds to this increased pressure to permit passage of air through the outlet into the gas and air filled space in the container.
  • valve member is tubular and spring loaded so that the pressure in the valve chamber must overcome the spring pressure which normally holds the tubular valve member in a position in which gas and air cannot pass out of the outlet in the upper part of the tubular valve member.
  • valve member is a ring slidable on the outlet tube and normally closing the higher outlet of the valve chamber.
  • the pressure in the valve chamber is increased and higher than the pressure in the vented container, it moves valve ring to an actuated position opening the higher outlet of the valve chamber.
  • the valve charnber is formed by a tubular valve member which has a lower inlet, and a plurality of openings arranged in a circle and forming the higher outlet of the valve chamber.
  • a valve ring is again provided which normally rests on the openings forming the outlet and closes the same.
  • FIGS. l, 2 and 3 are corresponding fragmentary sectional views illustrating three operational positions of a first embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are three corresponding fragmentary sectional views illustrating three operational positions of .a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken on line 7 7 in FIG. 6;
  • FIGS. 8, 9, and 1() are corresponding fragmentary sectional views illustrating three operational positions of a third embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 11 is a cross sectional view taken on line 11-11 in FIG. 9.
  • a filling vessel 2 has a bottom 1 with a sealing ring 6 surrounding an inlet passage '3.
  • a con rtainer ⁇ 5 is pressed with the edge ⁇ of its neck against the sealing ring 6 so that liquid under pressure can flow out of the filling vessel 2 through passage 3l into the interior of the container or bottle 5.
  • a venting conduit 3a cornmunicates with the inlet passage 3, and can be opened by a venting valve 3b, shown in FIG. 1, to establish communication between the inlet passage 3 ⁇ and the atmosphere. Since the inlet passage is connected to the interior of the container 5, container 5 ⁇ is also vented when the venting conduit 3a is opened.
  • the filling apparatus includes 'a tube 7 which is connected rby a tubular valve body 4 to an outlet tube 8.
  • Valve means are secured to the lower end of the outlet tube 8.
  • a first tube 9 ⁇ is secured to the lower end of the outlet tube 8
  • a second tube 1x1 has an upper flange portion 12 slidable along tube and a lower bottom p0rtion :13 formed with an inlet opening 14.
  • the upper part of'inlet opening 14 is formed Vas a valve seat 14a, and the lower end or outlet tube 8 is stormed as a valve seat 8a.
  • a spring 15 engages llange -1'2 and the upper end of tube 9, and urges valve member 11, 12, 13, 14- to the position illustrated in FIG. l in which the bottom part
  • Ball 10 is of greater specilic gravity than the liquid to be lilled into container 5, and will normally drop to a position resting on valve seat 14a and closing inlet A14, as shown in FlG. 3.
  • the diameter of the inlet opening 14 is smaller than the diameter of ball 10, and corresponds substantially to the diameter of the outlet tube 8.
  • the diameter of valve ball 10 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of tube 9 so that an annular ga-p is formed between ball 1t? and the inner surface of tube 9, the thickness of the annular gap being of importance for the proper operation of the apparatus.
  • a rfilling apparatus illustrated in FIGS. l to 3 is operated in combination with a conventional filling machine, not shown, in the following manner:
  • Gas such as air, or carbonio acid enters through tubes 7 and 8 the valve chamber, and since ball 10 closes the opening 14, the valve member is urged to its lower position shown in yFlG. 3, while spring is compressed. Consequently, air under pressure passes from vessel 2, through tubes 7, S, and 9, gap 18, the annular space between tubes 9 and 11, and iinally through the outlet 16 into the interior of the container 5.
  • valve member 11 When the same pressure prevails in the container 5 as in the valve chamber within tube 9, spring 15 raises valve member 11, '12, 13, 14 to the position shown in FIG. l so that communication between the valve chamber and outlets d6 is interrupted.
  • valve 4a is in the open position shown in iFlGS. 1 and 2 so that the liquid can ilow through lter 2a and inlet passage 6 into container 5.
  • the liquid entering container 5 displaces the air, and gas developed by the liquid, which passes through inlet 14, and tubesv 9, 8, and 7 into the gas space in the upper part of supply vessel 2.
  • the gas has sucient pressure to slightly raise ball 10 and the gap between ball ⁇ 10 and the inner surface of 9 is so dimensioned that ball 10 ⁇ is only slightly raised to the position shown in FIG. 1,V but is not blown to the position in FIG. 2.
  • Inlet 14 is located at the desired level of the liquid in container 5. When the liquid has reached this level, a gas cushion is formed in the neck portion of the container, and the liquid has the tendency to enter inlet 14, and the valve chamber within tube 9. This accelerates the entry however, is diierent.
  • the diameter of ball 10v is selected in such a manner that is performs the above explained function. If the ball 19 were too small, the increased force of the gas flow would not be adequate to blow the ball to the higher position shown in FIG. 2.
  • valve 411 closes inlet passage 3.
  • Ball 10 drops to the lower position resting on valve seat 14a.
  • a venting valve 3b shown in FIG. l, is now opened in venting conduit 3a, so that the interior of container 5 communicates with the atmosphere, and the pressure above the liquid in container 5 drops, and becomes smaller than the pressure in tubes 7, S, and the valve chamber within :tube 9.
  • This pressure is suicient to move valve member 11, 12, 13 downwards against the action of spring 15 so that gap 18 is formed between the lower end of tube 9 and the bottom portion 13, which permits air under pressure to pass from the valve chamber, through gap 18, the annular space between tubes 9 and 11, and linally through outlet openings 16 into the Vair space in the upper portion of container 5.
  • the small quantity of liquid which entered the valve chamber during the preceding operation is thus blown out of the valve chamber into the air space in the container. Since the outlet openings 16 are located higher than the level of the liquid, the liquid is not disturbed, and no turbulence and foam is created in the liquid in container 5.
  • container 5 Since the upper space in container 5 is already vented through conduit 3a, container 5 can now be removed, and la new container placed in lling position abutting sealing means 6.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 has the same general arrangement as the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, ⁇ and corresponding parts are indicated by rthe same reference numerals.
  • the construction of the valve means A tube 9 is secured to the lower end portion of the outlet tube 8, and has a hexagonal outer surface, as best seen in FIG. 7.
  • An outer tube 9" surrounds tube 9', and is secured to the longitudinally extending edges on the outer surface of tube 9 so that longitudinal passages 9a are formed which end at the upper ends of tubes 9' 4and 9".
  • a valve member in the form of a ring 20 is slidably mounted on tube 8, and normally rests on the upper ends of tubes 9', 9, closing the outlets at the upper ends of passages 9a.
  • the lower edge of tube 9 is permanently spaced from the bottom portion 13 and forms a gap 1S' with the same.
  • the inlet 14 communicates with two inlet portions 14b which extend at angles Ito the longitudinal direction of inlet 14.
  • Valve seat 14a is raised above the upper surface of the bottom portion 13.
  • the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7 is used in combination with conventional lling apparatus, and operates as follows: An empty container or bottle 5 is pressed against sealing means 6 so that the interior of the container communicates through the inlet passage 3 with the lower portion of vessel 2 in which liquid under pressure is located. Valve ball 1t) is seated on seat 14a, and valve 4a is closed as shown in FIG. V6. Consequently, no liquid can enter into container 5, while tubes 7 and 8 communicate p .thrown into the air ⁇ An empty container with lthe air and gas space above the liquid in vessel 2 when a conventional valve, not shown, is opened at the upper end of tube 7.
  • valve ring 20 When no further gas owS through passages 9a after pressure equalization, valve ring 20 drops to the position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the apparatus is now lowered to the position shown in FIG. 4, so that liquid can flow from the lower portion of vessel 2 through inlet passage 3 into the container.
  • the displaced air passes through the inlet 14, 14b and slightly raises ball so that the air can escape through tubes 9', 8 and 7 into the upper portion of vessel 2.
  • conduit 3a The venting valve, not shown, in conduit 3a is now opened, so that the interior of container 5 communicates with the atmosphere, and the pressure drops in container 5 below the pressure prevailing in vessel 2, tubes 7, 8, 9', and passages 9a so that the air and gas tend to escape through the outlets at the upper ends of passages 9a and raises valve ring 20 to the position illustrated in FIG. 6 permitting the gas to blow out any liquid, which has entered the valve chamber in tube 9', -through the outlets at the upper ends of passages 9a. Since the blown out ⁇ air and liquid are space above the level of the liquid in container 5, the liquid is not disturbed, and no turbulence or foam develops in the liquid.
  • Venting conduit 3a effects again a reduction of the pressure in container 5 to atmospheric pressure, so that container 5 can be removed, and replaced by an empty container.
  • a tube 19 is secured to the lower end of outlet tube 8, and has in its upper portion a plurality of openings 19a arranged in a circle in ⁇ an inner flange portion of tube 19. '.l ⁇ he lower bottom portion 13 of tube 19 has two oblique inlet portions, and a central inlet 14 terminating in a raised valve seat 14a.
  • the valve ball 10 is located in the valve chamber within tube 19, and is movable between a position resting on valve seat 14a, and a higher position abutting valve seat 8a and closing outlet tube 8.
  • FIGS. 8 to l1 operates in com bination with a conventional filling machine as follows: is pressed against sealing means 6 while ball 19 rests on valve seat 14a. Valve 4a closes the inlet passage 3 in the position shown in FIG. 11'). The conventional valve at the upper end of tube 7 is opened, so that air and gas under pressure enter the valve chamber, and pass through outlet openings 19a into the interior of container 5 while raising valve ring 20, as shown in FIG. 10. When the pressure is equalized, valve ring 29 drops to the position shown in FIG. 8.
  • valve 4a opens inlet passage 3, and liquid under pressure flows into container 5 which causes the air to escape from container 5 lthrough inlet 14b, 14 whereby ball 10 is slightly raised as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the level of liquid reaches substantially the level ⁇ of the inlet 114, the last escaping air moves more rapidly through inlet 14 and valve seat 14a, and blows ball 10 to its upper position closing outlet tube 8. No further air can escape from container 5, so that the flow lof liquid into container 5 is terminated.
