Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved screw-down valve for filling bottles with drinks, and more particularly with gaseous drinks with a high pulp content, containing in particular carbon dioxide under counterpressure, the filling members of which comprise a gas valve communicating the pressurised gas of the liquid reservoir and the inside of the bottle and a liquid valve then communicating the reservoir and the bottle, wherein said screw-down valve comprises a plate integral with the central rod of the liquid valve and located upstream of said valve, with respect to the direction of tlow of the liquid, said plate which is located beneath a guide brace, having orifices for the passage of the liquid which may be obturated by at least one diaphragm held applied on the lower face of the plate by its elasticity and subjected to the weight of the liquid located above.
- the present invention relates to an improved screwdown valve for filling bottles with drinks and more particularly gaseous drinks with a high pulp content.
- said liquid valve does not enable the flow of the liquid to be precisely controlled at the end of filling and this results in differences in level in the full bottles.
- the screw-down valve comprises a plate integral with the central rod of the liquid valve and located upstream of said valve with respect to the direction of flow of the liquid, said plate which is located beneath a guide brace, having orifices for the passage of the liquid, which may be obturated by at least one diaphragm held applied on the lower face of the plate by its elasticity and subjected to the weight of the liquid located upstream.
- means are used for regulating the output of the valve for filling the bottles, according to their format.
- a stop is used upstream of the brace, which cooperates with a cam pivotally mounted in the body along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the central rod of the valve, said cam being integral with a regulating knob disposed outside the body.
- This arrangement enables the height of the joint of the liquid valve to be modified with respect to its seat and consequently the output of the screw-down valve to be varied. This means for regulating the output solves to a wide extent the problems that are met with when small bottles are filled with valves with high speed of flow.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of a perforated plate.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of a secondary diaphragm.
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section of an improved screwdown valve showing on the left-hand side the position for a maximum output and on the righbhand side the position for a minimum output.
- a brace 7 shaped from the central rod and abutting against a shoulder 8 of the body 1.
- a plate 9 Upstream of the liquid valve 3 with respect to the direction of flow of the liquid shown by the arrow F, there is disposed beneath and against the brace 7 a plate 9 (FIGS. 1 and 2) which is engaged by a bore 10 on the central rod 4.
- This plate 9 has orifices such as 11 for the passage of the liquid which may be obturated by a main diaphragm 12 (FIG. 3) used in combination with a secondary diaphragm 13, said diaphragms 12 and 13 which are made of an elastic material being engaged in a groove 14 provided in the central rod.
- a stop 15 which has in its central part an elastic part 15a, made particularly of neoprene, said stop 15 cooperating with a cam 16 whose shaft 17 is mounted to pivot in a bearing 18 screwed in the body 1 and provided with a seal ringjoint 19.
- a distance-piece 20 made of rigid or elastic material is disposed between the bearing 18 and the cam 16.
- a control knob 22 outside the body 1 is attached to shaft 17 by a pin 21.
- This arrangement enables the position of the cam 16 to be regulated with respect to the stop 15, by means of the control knob 22 and the height of the joint 30 of the liquid valve to be modified with respect to the seat 2.
- the member 23 for supporting the centering joint presents a threaded part 32 on which is screwed a check-nut 33 against which abuts the adjusting ring 30, with the interposition of a stop ring 34.
- FIG. 5 shows said seat 2 in the maximum opened position which corresponds to the largest space A between the joint 3a and the seat 2, and therefore to the maximum output of liquid.
- the check-nut 33 is screwed on threaded part 32 and brought into abutment against the ring 30 and the whole is locked by means of the stop screw 36.
- This device enables a very fine adjustment of the output to be obtained, for which a quarter of a revolution of the ring permits an axial displacement of 0.25 mm of the seat.
- a screw-down valve adapted for use in filling a bottle with a liquid, said valve having a body with a longitudinal bore therethrough, a valve seat disposed in the bore, a rod centrally disposed in the bore, said rod having a longitudinal bore therethrough adapted for the passage of gas, a valve closure member carried by the rod adapted to form a fluid type seal when disposed against the said seat, a guide brace carried by the rod disposed upstream of said closure member, a plate having openings therethrough disposed about said rod and against the downstream side of the brace, and a flexible diaphragm disposed about the rod and adjacent to said plate, said diaphragm being adapted to flex away from said openings in response to weight of liquid upstream thereof.
- Screw-down valve as defined in claim 10, wherein the locking member comprises two half-shells having two shoulders against which the seat and the support of the centering joint abut respectively.
- Screwdown valve as defined in claim 12, wherein the output regulating ring is mounted on the check-nut with the interposition of a stop ring.
