Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filling element of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a filling element is known from FR-E-92742.
  • Filling elements of this type have a gas channel which, when the bottle is placed underneath, connects the interior of the container to the gas space of the boiler.
  • this gas channel is essentially required for two purposes, firstly for prestressing the container and secondly as a return gas channel.
  • the gas valve is opened before the start of filling in order to pretension the container with the boiler pressure.
  • a liquid valve can be opened or, in the conventional design, opens by itself under spring action. Then liquid flows into the container, the gas escaping from the container flowing through the gas channel. When the liquid surface reaches the lower end of the gas channel, it rises in it. Gas can no longer escape and the filling is stopped.
  • the advantage of this construction is the large cross-section of the gas channel which is present undisturbed during prestressing and filling.
  • the gas from the gas space of the boiler reaches the container at high speed so that it is quickly brought into equilibrium with the gas space of the boiler and thus the filling can begin quickly.
  • the return gas flow to the boiler is quick and undisturbed.
  • this construction it can be filled very quickly, which is of great economic importance in modern high-performance systems.
  • the interior of the gas channel is wetted with liquid each time it is filled.
  • the prestressing of the container entrains the network liquid from the gas channel by the gas flowing in at high pressure. So-called wet pre-air is created. However, since it causes foaming of the beverage, this is harmful and should be avoided.
  • the gas valve is therefore briefly opened between two filling processes, i.e. when the filling elements are located between the outlet star and the inlet star in a rotating filling device, so that a gas stream flows through the gas channel at high speed and blows out the liquid in it. In this way, dry pre-air is achieved.
  • a disadvantage of this known construction is that a lot of gas escapes due to the high pressure in the boiler even if the gas valve is opened only briefly. Since the gas above the beverage in the boiler consists essentially of CO2, a lot of expensive CO2 is blown off, which entails cost disadvantages. In addition, the liquid blown out of the gas channel is due to the high Gas flow velocity heavily atomized, which leads to liquid deposits on the surrounding machine parts.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a fast-filling process of the type mentioned, in which the blowing out of the gas channel is associated with lower costs and the atomization is avoided.
  • a throttle is provided in the gas channel, which enables blowing out at a lower gas flow rate. Even with imprecise timing of the blow-out process, the amount of gas blown out can be better controlled due to the lower gas speed, so that there is less gas consumption and thus expensive CO2 can be saved. Since the gas flow velocity is reduced by the throttle, the liquid that is blown out is atomized less.
  • the throttle is only switched on during blowing out, but during all other operating phases of the filling element switched off.
  • the throttled blow-out according to the invention can be carried out in a known manner so that the gas valve opens, blows out and then closes again when the container is changed, ie when there is no container under the filling element.
  • the gas valve is only opened and not closed again after blowing out. It remains open until the next container is pressed under the filling element and pre-stressed. This saves a control process.
  • the invention is shown for example and schematically in section through a filling element according to the invention with a gas duct designed as a return air pipe.
  • a filling element 2 is connected to the ring bowl 1 of a rotating filling device and extends radially outward.
  • a liquid connection 3 connects the liquid space of the ring bowl with the area above the liquid valve 6 of the filling element and a gas connection 4 the gas space of the boiler with the gas space 5 of the filling element.
  • a return air pipe 9 connecting the inside of the bottle to the gas space 5, which is arranged to be vertically movable in the filling element 2 and carries the liquid valve 6.
  • the liquid valve is designed to be self-opening. It is supported by a compression spring 11 against the filling element via a flange 10 on the return air pipe 9 and thus opens automatically when equal pressure is established between the interior of the bottle 8 and the gas space 5.
  • the return air pipe 9 projects with its lower end 12 into the bottle 8 up to the level to which it is to be filled, as is customary in conventional return air pipe designs for known purposes of controlling the filling stop.
  • an expanded pipe section 13 is provided, in which a valve body 14 of the gas valve is provided.
  • the valve body 14 has at its upper end two vertically spaced, transverse actuating plates 15 and 16, between which an actuating lever 17 can be brought into engagement, which can be actuated from the outside via a shaft 18 which passes through the housing of the filling element 2.
  • an actuating lever 17 By pressing the operating lever 17 from above onto the lower operating plate 15, the valve body 14 can be moved downwards and by pressing from below against the upper operating plate 16 upwards be moved.
  • the lower actuating plate 15 is further supported in the usual manner downwards against a flange 20 of the return air pipe via a compression spring 19.
  • annular seal 21 is provided, with which the valve body 14 can come into sealing engagement on the bottom 22 of the expanded tube piece 13, as a result of which the return air tube 9 is closed.
  • the actuating lever 17 initially remains force-free. Both the return air pipe 9 and the valve body 14 are in the lower closed position and are held there against the pressure of the compression springs 11 and 19 by the gas pressure in the interior of the filling element.
  • the bottle 8 is now brought under the outlet 7 of the filling element and held in the sealing position. Then, by lifting the actuating lever 17, the valve body 14 is raised and gas flows into the bottle 8 until it has the same pressure (constant pressure) as in the gas space 5. Then, under the action of the compression spring 11, the liquid valve 6 is automatically raised, and Liquid flows into the bottle 8 until it reaches the lower end 12 of the return air pipe 9.
  • valve body 14 is raised briefly by corresponding actuation of the actuating lever 17.
  • Gas from the gas space 5 flows under high pressure, that is to say at high speed, through the return air pipe 9 into the open and blows out all attached liquid droplets.
  • dry pre-air can be used. But a lot of gas is lost, especially expensive CO2.
  • the invention provides for a throttle to be provided in the gas channel, which throttles the outflow speed.
  • a throttle piece 24 is arranged below the valve body 14 for this purpose, which is seated concentrically in the return air pipe 9 with a narrow gap 25.
  • the control device controlling the actuating lever 17 is designed such that it only slightly raises the valve body 14 when it is blown out between the filling processes, so that the throttle piece 24 remains in the return air pipe 9 over its essential length, the gap 25 having a strongly restricting effect.
  • the gas outflow can be limited by suitable time control so that with sufficient blowing out of liquid droplets only a small gas consumption occurs from the return air pipe 9.
  • valve body 14 Since, in this stroke position of the valve body 14, the throttle would also work during the pretensioning, as a result of which the pretensioning time is lengthened unfavorably, the valve body 14 is preferably raised over a substantially larger stroke during the pretensioning, to the position shown in dashed lines. The throttle piece 24 is completely lifted out of the return air pipe, so that it is available with a full cross section for rapid pretensioning.
  • the gas valve 14 can be opened and closed again after a certain time, the advantages of the invention already being obtained.
  • a further design and in particular control simplification can be achieved in that for blowing out the gas valve 14 is only opened and then left in the open position. Then it is blown out - the gas losses can be controlled by the throttling according to the invention - until the next bottle 8 is placed under the filling element. The bottle is then immediately pretensioned when the gas valve is opened further. Then, as previously described, the valve body 14 is advantageously raised into the upper stroke position in order to be able to pretension with a full cross section.
  • the filling element can be largely varied compared to the illustrated embodiment.
  • the vertical movement of the return air pipe 9 and the liquid valve 6 can be provided separately.
  • a gas channel can also be provided, which does not run through the center of the liquid valve 6, but is arranged, for example, outside the filling element.
  • the filling element according to the invention can also be varied in a known manner for filling cans.
  • the design of the throttle can also be solved differently than with the throttle gap 25 shown.
  • the switchability of the throttle can also be solved in a different way, for example by means of valves which switch a throttle bypass line or the like.
