Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a device according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the test chamber is first with the negative pressure of a
- a disadvantage of these known methods is, inter alia, that they require a tight conclusion of the test room from the environment, which is not fundamentally guaranteed in practice, for example, due to a malfunction of seals on the probe.
- Also known is a method for pressure testing of filled and sealed with a valve or fitting large-volume or barrel-like containers (DE 10 2008 020 273 A1, DE 93 13 923.3 U1).
- the leak test is carried out in this known method by visually checking the outside of the respective container in the region of its valve or fitting after filling, wherein Deviations of the surface structure and / or surface coloration on the outside of the fitting from predetermined set values by leaked contents or foaming can be used as a criterion for an existing leak. Especially small leaks or leaks, which lead to a loss of pressure in the interior of the container only for a long time, can not or only with difficulty be recognized with these known methods. It is also known to act on the contents in the container with ultrasound during the leak test.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method with which a tightness test of large-volume, filled with a product and closed with a valve or fitting container is possible effectively and reliably. To solve this problem, a method according to claim 1 is formed.
- a device is the subject of claim 8.
- KEG barrel-like containers
- metal KEG metal KEG
- plastic KEG plastic KEG
- PET container interior each by a valve or Fitting is closed, which is attached to the container, especially in plastic KEGs only after filling.
- Large-volume containers are within the meaning of the invention barrel-like containers, which are usually referred to as "KEG” and for example made of metal (metal KEG) or plastic (plastic KEG), for example, PET and their container interior each by a valve or Fitting is closed, which is attached to the container, especially in plastic KEGs only after filling.
- KEG metal KEG
- plastic KEG plastic
- a reliable leakage detection is possible, by a sufficiently high pressure difference between the interior of the respective container and the external environment / volume or test room, in which the at least one sensor element is arranged.
- the test chamber is usually formed by a bell-like test head, for example, for the tightness test on the outside of the container in the region of its valve or in the region of its container sleeve is placed on, and at least when a loading of the test chamber with the negative pressure or vacuum in sealing position on the container.
- the bell-shaped probe 3 is used to test the tightness
- test head 3 is placed on the container 1 such that the container 1 is received at its valve 2 and at its mouth or opening ring 1 .1 sealed in a test room 4 of the test head 3 to the environment.
- the test head 3 has u.a. an annular seal 5, which against the inner surface of the valve 2 and the mouth ring 1 .1 enclosing and the valve 2 also
- Test chamber 4 and the internal pressure of the container 1 generated, for example, by evacuating the test chamber 4 via a with a vacuum device. 6
- the vacuum device consists for example of a Vacuum or vacuum source 6.1 and a control valve 6.2 in the connection to the vacuum port 7.
- the internal pressure of the test chamber 4 is detected and / or monitored with a provided on the test head 3 pressure sensor 8 (pressure transmitter).
- the admission of the test chamber 4 with vacuum is controlled, for example, so that a sufficient pressure difference between the interior of the container 1 and the exckopfraum 4 sets and then the connection to the vacuum source 6.1 is blocked.
- the product to be filled into the container 1 is one which tends to foam, as is the case, for example, with CO2-containing material
- Foaming monitored The criterion for an existing leak is thus primarily the detected with the camera 9 discharge of contents from the container 1 in the test chamber 4 and a corresponding foaming in the test chamber 4. If a Golfgutaustritt and / or a pubic formation is not detected, it means that the container in question 1 and its valve 2 are sealed. With the pressure sensor 8, a pressure drop closing on a leak is also detected, i. if there is a leak, the negative pressure falls in the
- Test chamber 4 from, so that then measured by the pressure sensor 8 pressure increase serves as a further criterion for a leak of the container 1 and / or the valve 2.
- the loading of the test chamber 4 via the vacuum connection 7 with vacuum or negative pressure is preferably timed, i. E. After a predetermined period of time, the test chamber 4 will be separated from the vacuum or
- Vacuum source 6.1 disconnected.
- the pressure then prevailing in the test chamber 4 or its course is detected with the pressure sensor 8.
- the monitoring of leakage is basically by increased pressure differences between the interior of the container and the
- Negative pressure is generated. According to a further embodiment of the
- the test chamber 4 for example, with atmospheric or ambient pressure or in turn applied to vacuum or with negative pressure.
- the external effect on the container 1 or on the contents in this container can be done in a variety of ways, e.g. by a controlled elastic deformation of the wall of the container 1 in the sense of a temporary reduction of the container volume, preferably by mechanical means, whereby the internal pressure of the container 1 increases, or by an energy input into the contents, e.g. by ultrasound, heat, etc., which leads in particular to CO 2 -containing filling products to a leakage of CO 2 gas from the contents and thus an increase in the internal pressure in the container 1.
- the external action on the contents can also be effected by vibration of the container 1, which also leads to CO 2 discharge from the contents and thus to an increase in the internal pressure of the container in question with C02-containing products.
- the actual tightness test is again carried out with the arranged on the container 1 probe 3 by monitoring any leaking into the test chamber 4 contents or a corresponding foam formation with the camera 9. If the test chamber 4 is sealed tight in this embodiment during the leak test to the environment, so can also the pressure measured in the test chamber 4 with the pressure sensor 8 can be used as a further criterion for the presence of a leak.
- each of these methods at the tightness test can also be performed repeatedly, at least twice, repeatedly.
