Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for safe filling in valve-controlled filling systems according to the preamble of claim 1.
- valve-controlled filling systems are used to fill liquid products in special containers, usually bottles.
- the problem here is often the foaming during the filling process. If the filling product is a soapy liquid, for example hair shampoo, the foaming caused by air bubbles during filling can easily cause the shampoo bottle to overflow during the filling process. Such spillover at a single filling station can result in the stoppage of the entire bottling plant. Depending on what quantity of the product has overflowed, extensive cleaning measures are necessary.
- the amount of product that is to be filled in each filling process is often measured with flowmeters (eg Dosimass, Dosimag Fa. Endress + Hauser) and adjusted by a dosing.
- flowmeters eg Dosimass, Dosimag Fa. Endress + Hauser
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for safe filling in valve-controlled filling systems, that does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, that in particular the overflow during the filling process due to air bubble formation reliably prevented and is easy and inexpensive to implement.
- Method for safe filling in valve-controlled filling systems at individual filling stations flow meters for determining the filling quantity of the Have bottling, characterized by the following steps: opening the filling valve at the time TO; Determining the flow rate value D (ti) with the filling valve open for several time intervals t1, t2, ..tn, checking the flow rate values D (ti) for significant deviations caused by air bubble formation in the filling product; Closing the filling valve at time Tl if no significant deviations occur; Close the filling valve at time Tl ' ⁇ Tl if significant deviations occur
- the essential idea of the invention is the formation of air bubbles in the filling, causing the overflow during the filling process, quickly and easily by evaluating several flow values D (ti), at times to which a constant flow at the filling station in question should prevail, to recognize.
- the flow meters it may be z.
- the invention is particularly suitable for fast filling operations, in which the time between the opening and closing of the filling valve is less than 1-5 seconds.
- the pulses that are output at the pulse output of the flow meters, taken to determine the current flow value taken to determine the current flow value.
- Fig. 1 typical filling plant in a schematic representation
- Fig. 2 filling curve at a filling station of the filling plant
- FIG. 3 simplified filling curve according to FIG. 2.
- Fig. 1 is a typical filling plant, as used in various industries, shown.
- the liquid filling product P (hair shampoo) is provided in a storage container 40.
- the feed tank 40 is connected via a central supply line 50 with the individual filling stations ap which are designated as line 1 to line 16. For clarity, only two filling station a and p are provided with reference numerals.
- Each filling station has a flow meter 52 and a filling valve 54. Via valve tips 56, the filling product AP is filled into the filling container 60, here shampoo bottles.
- the filling containers 60a to 60p together are guided via a conveyor belt 70 to the individual filling stations.
- the flow measuring devices 52 and the filling valves 54 are connected to a dosing control unit 10 via signal lines, 16 control signal lines SSL1 -SSL 16 and 16 measuring signal lines MSL1-MSL16.
- the metering control unit 10 is constructed in a modular manner. It consists of a power supply, a central processing unit, Profibus DP slave unit, a digital pulse input unit (16-fold), a digital pulse output unit (16-fold 24V, 0.5 A) and a 4-20 mA - Unit (4x AI, 2x AO)
- the dosing control unit 10 is connected to a central controller 20.
- the communication between the Dosier horrungsaku 10 and the central controller 20 is carried out according to the Profibus DP standard, the Dosier horrungsaku 10 acts as a Profibus DP slave and the controller 20 as a Profibus DP master.
- the controller 20 controls the entire supply and discharge of the filling container 60 to the individual filling stations a-p. The entire filling cycle for every 16 filling containers takes about 5 seconds.
- the dosing control unit 10 is further connected to a local display unit 30, which is designed as a touch screen, via which the configuration of the bottling plant takes place.
- Constant filling conditions are obtained only when the head pressure KP is kept constant in the storage tank 40.
- a pressure gauge 46 is provided on the reservoir 40, which measures the head pressure KP in the container 40.
- the head pressure KP can be adjusted.
- the corresponding control of the head pressure also takes place via the metering control unit 10.
- the current head pressure is transmitted as a 4-20 mA signal via the measurement signal line MSL 17 to the metering control unit 10.
- the valve 44 is controlled by the metering control unit 10 in order to thereby keep the head pressure KP in the container 40 constant.
- a filling curve as typically occurs at each of the filling stations a-p, is shown.
- the flow rate at one of the filling tips is plotted as a function of time.
- the desired filling quantity F is predetermined during the start-up of the bottling plant and stored in the metering control unit 10. According to the Filling capacity F, the filling valve is activated at each filling station.
- Tl command from the dosing control unit 10 to the filling valve 54a open the valve.
- T2 filling valve 54a is fully open.
- T3 command from the dosing control unit 10 to the filling valve 54a close valve, since the filling amount is achieved taking into account the follow-up amount.
- T4 filling valve 54a is closed.
- the filling quantity F of the filling product AP filled into the filling container 60 corresponds in principle to the area under the curve between the times T 1 and T 4 (about 0.5 sec).
- Fig. 3 the filling curve of FIG. 2 is again shown greatly simplified.
- the flow remains approximately constant between times T2 and T3.
- This time range is subdivided into several time intervals t1 to tn.
- the entire filling process takes less than 1 second.
- the length of the time intervals t1 to tn can be selected between approximately 10 and 100 ms.
- the current flow value D (tj) can be given
- the values D ( ⁇ t 1 ) are checked for significant deviations If a significant change is detected, the valve 44 at the filling station in question is closed before time T 3. Significant deviations are generally indicative of foaming, and closure of the filling container avoids overflowing the filling container.
- the invention assumes that between the times T2 and T3, the flow rate is approximately constant.
- the mean value of the flow rate in this time range can be obtained, for example, with a moving averaging from the values D (tj).
- the tolerance limit is approx. +/- 5%. It is application specifically adjustable.
- the inventive method is characterized mainly by its simplicity and by its speed. With the method according to the invention a safe filling is possible even with foaming filling products and fast filling operations.
