Definitions

  • The, objectV of the present. invention is o, con-A trol head for devices for filling bottles or other like (containers, with gaseous or nongaseous liquids, under. counter-pressure, said head previously placing the bottlesA under compressed air.
  • The'p'urpose of theinvention is essentially to increase the. automatic operation of the device, therebyenablingthe rate of filling to loey conf siderably accelerated, thus increasing the emciency.
  • tile invention relates to the provision of means iorfenabling the level of the'liquid inside the bottles. t be, adjusted. accurately 2li-Cl. et Will.
  • the control of the compressed air is effected by the action of the bottle itself andv throughthe intermediary of a sleeve sliding on the lling tube.

  • the pressure chamber 6 is closed, relatively to the air space of the liquid tank, by means of a diaphragm II which controls a rod I2 secured to the said diaphragm by means of the ring I3 and nut I4.
  • a stirrup I5 To the rod I2 is fixed a stirrup I5, on which is mounted the small residual air exhaust tube I6.
  • Said tube carries at the lower end thereof centered by the guide 50 (see Fig. 6), a liquid valve I1 (see Fig. 4) which opens downwardly and which closes the filling tube I8 so long as the pressure in the air space of the liquid tank is greater than that in the pressure chamber 6.
  • the diaphragm I I is forced in an upward direction (see Figure 1).
  • a spider 23 (see Fig. 2), which is fixed to the head member 2, passes through the stirrup I5. Said spider carries adjusting screws 24 and 25 which are locked by lock-nuts 26 and 21. In the head of the screw is mounted a rubber seat 28. The screws 24 and 25 are so adjusted that in the closed position ( Figure 1) the orifice of the residual air exhaust tube is closed, whereas between the lower face of the rod I2 and the upper face of the adjusting screw 24 there remains a clearance corresponding to the travel of the lower liquid valve I1.
  • a sleeve 29 is provided, which is extended upwardly by a cone 30.
  • is adjustable by screwing on the thread formed on the internal part 2 9' of the sleeve 29.
  • the sleeve 3I forms slides carrying at its lower end an inverted funnel-shaped member. Said sleeve is tightened by means of a stuffing box 34.
  • are provided with rubber annular joints 32 and 33.
  • valve body 36 carrying the air inlet nozzle 31.
  • the body 36 contains a ball 39 which is loaded by a spring 38.
  • An actuating rod 40 which projects into the housing 5 of the base member, effects the opening of the ball valve 39.l
  • Air-tight condition between the housing 5 and the valve body 36 is obtained by clamping the rod 40 on a diaphragm 35, by means of a ring 4I and a spring 46.
  • the compressedair issuing from the valve body 36 reaches the column 3, through an orifice 41 (see Figures 1 and 3).
  • the method of operation is as follows:
  • Cone 30 engages the actuating rod 40 of Valve 39 and opens said valve.
  • valve 39 compressed air flows into the bottle F.
  • the air in flowing from valve 39 to the bottle passes through the orifice 41, the column 3, duct 45, and about the valve 48 which is still lifted by the push rod 44 because the chamber 6 being then at atmospheric pressure, the diaphragm is still bottle F as in the liquid reservoir, the diaphragm I I returns to its normal plane position as shown in Fig. 3 which lowers the push rod 44. Ball 48 then drops onto its seat and stops the flow of compressed air.
  • the air in the f bottle can escape through the tube I6 as the liquid fiows into the bottle through tube I8 about Valve I1 and flows down over the inside surface of the wall of the bottle.
  • This fiow of the liquid into the bottle along the wall thereof avoids frothing and also avoids breakage since the temperature of the bottle is uniformly changed until the temperature of the bottle and liquid are in equilibrium.
  • the empty bottles are at the ambient temperature and the liquid is colder.
  • the liquid flows into the bottle until the level therein reaches the orifice at the lower end of tube I6.
  • the exhaust of the air from the bottle is then stopped, thereby stopping the continuation of the fiow of liquid into said bottle.
  • the upper face of the diaphragm II is then in communication with the atmosphere through 8, 4 and 1, and its lower face is subjected to the pressure prevailing in the tank. Owing to this fact, the said diaphragm returns to the convex position as shown in Figure 1. in which position the ball 48 is again lifted. The cycle described is then repeated.
  • This device although mainly designed for bottling gaseous liquids, can equally well be used for bottling non-gaseous liquids (milk or wine, for example).
  • non-gaseous liquids milk or wine, for example.
  • the purpose of the counter-pressure is to prevent the filling of damaged bottles.
