A lot of liquid fill materials and especially quite a lot of drink and food must be poured into container in certain temperature range, to keep predetermined product performance in container filling.
For example known cold sterile filling process, filling at low temperatures each beverage wherein, to reduce or to avoid endangering the bacterium of keeping property of product design and/or filling food and appearance or the growth of germ.Now, cold sterile filling for example is used to chilled products as fresh milk and other dairy products.In addition, container filling fresh milk or other dairy products preferably occur between 0 ℃ to 5 ℃ and the temperature of 4 ℃ especially preferably.Be prepared into filling and should be interrupted to customer's cold chain subsequently through product from the product manufacture, to reduce or to stop bacterium and microbial growth.Product can be saved about 30～90 days like this, accordingly.People also mention " Shelf-life " at this.
For avoiding the interruption of cold chain, real, also liquid fill material must be remained on to constant low temperature when filling.
And, there is so liquid fill material, it must be hot filling, in order to also obtain sterile filling and obtain killing of corresponding bacterium.For example when filling slurries, honeydew and vegetable juice desired filling temperature between 80 ℃ to 95 ℃.Also should be when filling keep high filling temperature in container, so as when to pour into hot liquid fill material also disinfecting container inwall, with can the long preservation container filling and be contained in fill material wherein.
For the corresponding temperature adjustment of liquid fill material by corresponding stock chest remain on predetermined temperature, for example by DE 10 2,009 006 795A1, disclosed, the stock chest that is the hopper form is equipped with heat exchanger, for can corresponding supply heat energy or cold energy.
For the heating that can continue when the equipment downtime to use the liquid fill material that is arranged in filling mechanism supply line and filling mechanism itself and prevention perhaps to occur at the material of filling mechanism or turn cold, by DE 10 2,009 006 795A1, the heat exchanger of being located on filling mechanism is also disclosed.Can not only in material trough, keep the temperature of charge level in this way, also can in filling mechanism, keep the temperature of charge level.This this equipment erect and filling valve correspondingly no longer by material trough by the streams of temperature adjustment out-of-date be in the cards.
In addition, in the design of alternative equipment, known, bottle placer has been arranged on by the room of temperature adjustment or air-conditioning factory building, for correspondingly remaining on the filling temperature of corresponding expectation with equipment unit to all material supplies of major general.But this is being only significant to cold sterile filling aspect technology and energy, and now corresponding filling factory building is maintained at the temperature of 0 ℃ to 5 ℃.For heat aseptic corresponding space be heated to 80 ℃ to 95 ℃ aspect energy, be poor efficiency and thereby be of little use.
By as described as DE 10 2,009 006 795 A1, on material trough and filling mechanism, use heat exchanger can correspondingly realize that bottle placer arbitrarily is arranged in not by the factory building of temperature adjustment or the factory building in ambient temperature because material supply with equipment unit not by independent heat treatment.
Summary of the invention
In view of above-mentioned prior art, task of the present invention be to provide a kind of in container device, the especially device of filled drink in drinking container of pouring in liquid fill material, its plant efficiency is able to further raising.
This task completes the device for giving the liquid fill material of container filling of the feature by having claim 1.Obtain favourable embodiment by dependent claims.
Correspondingly, for the device to the liquid fill material of at least one container filling, comprise that stock chest for containing liquid fill material and at least one are communicated with the stock chest fluid and for the filling valve to container filling liquid state fill material, wherein, be provided with for giving and contain the heat exchanger that carries out temperature adjustment at the liquid fill material of the deposit of stock chest.According to the present invention, at least one filling valve is connected with the direct heat conduction of stock chest.
Because this filling valve in apparatus of the present invention is connected with the direct heat conduction of stock chest, so also can be by this stock chest is carried out to the temperature adjustment that temperature adjustment obtains filling valve.Thereby can abandon the independent temperature adjustment of filling valve, improve thus plant efficiency.
In this way, also can be after equipment downtime will be not yet filling for continuing by filling total liquid fill material amount, this is because total inventory predetermined temperature levels in the heat exchanger by stock chest always.
Related to this, but the connection between each conducting-heat elements that refers to stock chest and filling valve connected in the direct heat conduction between filling valve and stock chest, and its material by described parts obtains.Direct heat conduction between filling valve and stock chest connects and does not need the existence of intermediary's material as liquid fill material.The corresponding temperature adjustment of filling valve is correspondingly also feasible when empty stock chest.This heat conduction connection between filling valve and stock chest for example can so form,, the general filling valve of being made by corrosion-resistant steel is directly mounted to the storing cell wall for example usually consisted of corrosion-resistant steel by the heated stock chest part of heat exchanger, for example is bolted or welds.In this way, the heat energy or the cold energy that are input to this stock chest directly are transferred to the filling valve material, thereby filling valve also remains on the predetermined temperature by heat exchanger of this stock chest.
Thereby, in the weighing bottle placer, for example can reduce the temperature input to temperature sensitive weighing unit.
In addition, these weighing units also can be placed in outside isolation part, and filling valve is contained in this isolation part, for generation of between the equipment unit by temperature adjustment and temperature sensitive weighing unit or significant thermal isolation.In a replacement scheme, carry out temperature adjustment also can to this isolation part, remain on filling temperature and correspondingly maintain predetermined filling condition for equipment unit, unloading container and the material to be filled that will contact with material to be filled better.In this modification, also temperature sensitive equipment unit can be remained on by outside the zone of temperature adjustment as microcircuit or weighing unit.
In a preferred implementation, at least one filling valve is integrated in this stock chest.Correspondingly, the bottom land that for example base plate of the valve of filling valve cone or bearing are added into stock chest, therein integrally formed or directly connection with it, for example be bolted or weld.Correspondingly, valve cone also at least contacts also whereby the bottom land that also direct heat contacts this stock chest when valve closing with the base plate heat conduction of this filling valve.In this way, not only can carry out temperature adjustment to this stock chest and content thereof, but also can carry out temperature adjustment to this filling valve and the part contacted with material thereof, and not need the independent heat exchanger for this filling valve.
Arrange by integral type, also can abandon the supply line from stock chest to filling valve, this is because filling valve is directly installed on this stock chest.Also can avoid thus the temperature traverse of the liquid fill material in supply line, this is because will abandon this supply line.
In a favourable embodiment, the temperature control medium pipeline can be set in the lid of stock chest, it can be cooled, and MEDIA FLOW is crossed and electric heating apparatus can be set at the bottom of stock chest.In this way, can carry out from top liquid towards fill material coolingly, and can be heated from below liquid towards fill material.Therefore utilize corresponding device can carry out cold sterile filling process and hot sterile filling process, needn't reequip this device bothersomely.
The part circle of at least one filling valve is advantageously located in the stock chest diameter.Like this, this filling valve is positioned at the basic plane of this stock chest, thereby can simply obtain direct heat conduction, connects.In other words, the part circle diameter of filling valve is less than the stock chest diameter, thereby filling valve is arranged in stock chest or is set directly at the stock chest below, preferably there is no other supply line.The filling valve that is free jet formula bottle placer form is applicable to above-mentioned embodiment especially well.But also can adopt other filling valve.
In a favourable improvement project, this at least one filling valve is located substantially in the volume limited by stock chest.In this way, also can obtain filling valve and be connected to the temperature levels of stock chest by simple heat conduction.Preferably, the base plate of this at least one filling valve and/or valve cone are positioned at the volume limited by stock chest.Now especially preferred, the base plate of this at least one filling valve is integrated in the bottom land of stock chest and preferably valve seat is incorporated in the base plate of stock chest.By hold the filling valve base plate in the stock chest volume, realized, in stock chest by heat exchanger by the liquid fill material of temperature adjustment not in filling valve, this is because filling valve there is no the supply highway section, and is arranged in the stock chest volume, can be in stock chest free-flowing.Correspondingly, liquid fill material is always mixed and by the always even temperature adjustment of corresponding maintenance of heat exchanger.And can accomplish in this way, valve is bored by material circulation and also correspondingly through this trip and in temperature of charge.In addition, accomplished in this way, material can be in stock chest free-flowing and such zone do not occur, can't realize the exchange of material and its surrounding environment and heat exchanger in this zone.Correspondingly, there is no to occur the mobile quiescence as in the supply pipe do not flow through by fluid.
For the preferred directly heat conduction be formed between filling valve and stock chest connects, can make at least one filling valve directly be connected with this stock chest, preferably by riveting, being threaded and/or welding.Now especially preferred, this stock chest is connected with the direct heat conduction of the high conductivity material of filling valve with the high conductivity material that at least one filling valve has high conductivity material and this stock chest.
Above-mentioned task also will complete by the method for giving the liquid fill material of at least one container filling, wherein, this liquid state fill material is accommodated in stock chest and is poured into this container by least one filling valve from stock chest, and this liquid state fill material in stock chest by heat exchanger by temperature adjustment.According to the present invention, this at least one filling valve is by the directly temperature adjustment of stock chest quilt.

The specific embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment is described.Here, identical, similar or act on identical parts and indicate with identical Reference numeral, and sometimes abandoned in the following description to being repeated in this description of these parts, in order to avoid tediously long.
Fig. 1 has schematically illustrated the device 1 for filling flask, and bottle is supplied to this device 1 by supply star-wheel 12.
Liquid fill material 20 can be poured into container 10 by filling valve 3 from stock chest 2.Filling valve 3 correspondingly so is communicated with stock chest 2 fluids, that is, the liquid fill material 20 contained 2 li of stock chests can flow through this filling valve 3.Below again schematically illustrate in detail and describe this filling valve 3 in Fig. 2.
Stock chest 2 has heat exchanger 4, and this heat exchanger 4 is the form of the temperature control medium pipeline 40 of 22 li of bottom lands that are placed in stock chest 2.According to application, determine, the cooling media be cooled or heated heating-medium flow are crossed temperature adjustment medium pipeline 40, in order to correspondingly give bottom land 22 temperature adjustments of this stock chest 2, and the liquid fill material 20 that will be positioned at stock chest 2 remains on predetermined temperature or is placed on predetermined temperature.The size of temperature control medium pipeline 40 is can be at the interior heating of stock chest 2 or cooling liquid state fill material 20 by respective settings, or the temperature can only keep liquid fill material to inject stock chest 2 time.
In a unshowned replacement scheme, for the heat exchanger of giving the liquid fill material temperature adjustment in stock chest, also can drive by electricity.To this, this heat exchanger or there is the bottom surface that is arranged on stock chest and/or the electric heating element in sidewall, or it has for example Peltier device of corresponding electronic cooling element, and it also is placed in the bottom surface and/or sidewall of stock chest.So delivery of electrical energy is for example by the current colector Transmission Part
Carry out.
Dissimilar heat exchanger also can combine mutually, and for example the electric heating apparatus at the bottom of stock chest combines with the temperature control medium pipeline in the sidewall that is placed in stock chest and/or lid.For example the temperature control medium pipeline that the MEDIA FLOW that can be cooled is crossed can be set in the lid of stock chest, and electric heating apparatus can be set in bottom land.In this way, can carry out from top liquid towards fill material coolingly, be heated from below liquid towards fill material.Therefore, can utilize corresponding device to carry out cold sterile filling process and hot sterile filling process, needn't reequip this device bothersomely.
Also can expect the use of other heat exchanger, for example stock chest be imposed thermal radiation or uses microwave.
In stock chest 2, that should reach and temperature that should be delivered to liquid fill material 20 is to depend on the characteristic of liquid fill material 20 and actual filling condition.For example, when chilled products is as filling as fresh milk, the temperature of the liquid fill material 20 in stock chest 2 is in 0 ℃～5 ℃ scopes and be preferably 4 ℃.When hot filling fruit juice or vegetable juice, carry heated heating medium by temperature control medium pipeline 40, in order to liquid fill material 20 is correspondingly remained on to 80 ℃～95 ℃ or be heated to this temperature.
For the temperature adjustment of filling valve 3 parts that realize contacting with liquid fill material 20 and for fear of the temperature of the liquid fill material 20 of impact, embodiment has as shown in Figure 1 been proposed.Filling valve 3 is integrated in stock chest 2 by corresponding, makes the base plate 30 of filling valve 3 directly be connected with heat conduction with the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2, thereby form direct heat conduction, connects (thermische Verbindung).
Heat conduction connects especially true generation, that is, exist stock chest 2 bottom lands 22 that generally consist of corrosion-resistant steel to contact with the direct material that generally also contains stainless filling valve 3 base plates 30.This connection for example can be by two parts welding, by the bottom land 22 that directly base plate 30 is integrated into to stock chest 2 or the respective bolt by two parts connects or riveted joint realizes.Connect because filling valve 3 is integrated in stock chest 2 to the heat conduction produced between stock chest 2 and filling valve 3, and especially be connected with the heat conduction of filling valve 3 base plates 30, so, the heat or the cold base plate 30 that directly is transferred to filling valve 3 that by heat exchanger 4, are applied.In this way, the base plate 30 of filling valve 3 is always in the identical temperature levels of bottom land 22 with stock chest 2.Whether whether whether like this, filling valve 3 does not change the temperature levels of liquid fill material 20, exactly, with this device 1, according to filling work pattern and this filling valve 3, by liquid fill material 20, flow through irrelevantly, or erect irrelevant with it.
In the embodiment shown in the right side of Fig. 1, the valve of filling valve 3 cone 32 is placed in it in the valve seat 300 of base plate 30 interior formation.In this way, valve cone 32 also direct heat contacts this base plate 30, thereby the bottom land 22 of thermal contact stock chest 2.Valve cone 32 also always correspondingly remains on the temperature levels identical with the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2.
Except direct contact of the valve of base plate 30 and the filling valve 3 " cone 32 " and " bottom land 22 of stock chest 2 ", filling valve 3 is at least bored with regard to 32 with regard to its base plate 30 and valve, is directly to contact this liquid state fill material 20.Also by the contacting of " valve cone 32 and base plate 30 " and " liquid fill material 20 ", realized that filling valve 3 is by the temperature adjustment temperature levels of liquid fill material 20 extremely.
Because filling valve 3 is integrated in stock chest 2, thus when filling valve 3 is closed, liquid fill material 20 not flow less or without mobile zone in, but liquid fill material 20 can freely circulate stock chest 2 is interior.When the filling valve of closing watched on the right side of Fig. 1, this is especially clear.Here can know and see, whole liquid fill materials 20 is in continuing exchange basically.Correspondingly, liquid fill material 20 always is being placed in predetermined temperature or is remaining on this predetermined temperature by heat exchanger 4 in stock chest 2 with regard to its total amount.
Correspondingly; also can be when equipment downtime (now liquid fill material 20 does not flow through filling valve 3); guarantee that these liquid state fill material 20 integral body are maintained at predetermined temperature; this is especially in the hot filling field and be highly significant for cold-aseptic filling, for keeping at any time try one's best few bacterium " burden " or the few germ " burden " of trying one's best of not yet filling fill material.By described mode, also can avoid the interruption of the cold storage environment of chilled products, because the heating to product does not occur in the environment division without mobile (for example, as the supply line to filling valve of knowing) from prior art.
Correspondingly, shown in device 1 in, for example also no longer need when work starts or have no progeny in pouring process the liquid fill material by temperature adjustment for to these filling valve 3 temperature adjustments and cleared up subsequently, but, when pouring process is interrupted, filling valve 3 also always remains on preferred temperature.
The part circle T of filling valve 3 so forms in device 1, that is, this part circle is positioned at the diameter D of stock chest 2.In other words, filling valve 3 so is preferably placed in stock chest 2, that is, it is entirely integrated in stock chest 2.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, filling valve 3 also is positioned at the volume limited by stock chest 2.
Related to this, " filling valve " at least refers to the following part of filling valve 3: these parts directly contact liquid material 20 and corresponding its temperature that affects of energy.
Obviously, the control setup of filling valve 3 for example forms by the valve control device 34 that is the pneumatics form in the embodiment in figure 1, the control setup of described filling valve 3 not by liquid fill material 20 around flowing through and correspondingly also there is no an inevitable product temperature in expectation.So also can accomplish, temperature sensitive member (as microcircuit or the weighing unit of control setup) can be positioned at corresponding to outside the zone of temperature adjustment, and equipment availability can be further improved in this way.
In order to realize mixing fully continuously of liquid fill material 20, preferably at least one stirring vane 24 is arranged in the volume of stock chest 2, and it is used for mixing thoroughly liquid fill material 20 and correspondingly in the total liquid volume in stock chest 2, evenly keeps temperature levels when stock chest 2 rotates.Perhaps, also can use independently rabbling mechanism for this reason.
Liquid fill material 20 can be preheated or precooling ground injects this stock chest 2 and is held in predetermined temperature by heat exchanger 4, but or can input heat by additional input device (not shown), for example pass through microwave oven apparatus.
To guarantee that this product is in correct temperature, a temperature sensor 9 can be installed for the temperature that checks the liquid fill material 20 in stock chest 2.
By supply star-wheel 12, also preferably so according to the mode supply container 10 of temperature adjustment in advance, that is, and can be filling to being undertaken by corresponding cooling or container 10 heating, and therefore accurately maintain filling temperature.
Amount of liquid to be filled is preferably definite by weighing mechanism 8, and it especially comprises the weighing unit 80 of being located at container 10 belows.But also can carry out the discharge measurement on filling valve 3 or determine the fill level in container 10 in other preferred embodiment, for example, by means of probe, in order to realize end and and then the closing of filling valve 3 of pouring process.
When giving the filling chilled products of container 10 as fresh milk, this filling preferably under cold germ-free condition the temperature of 0 ℃ to 5 ℃ and especially preferably carry out the temperature of 4 ℃.Should prepare at product by refrigeration, filling and be delivered between the customer and be not interrupted, to stop or to reduce growth of microorganism.In this way, can so that product can preserve 30～90 days.
Utilize device 1 as shown in Figure 1, make the necessary processing of the workshop building air conditioner for this cold sterile filling so far become not essential.On the contrary, this device 1 is that " freedom " arranges.It also can directly be placed in the thermal source peripheral region, and around the motor 120 as supply star-wheel 12, and this thermal source has influence on the temperature levels of the liquid fill material 20 in stock chest with only ignoring.
Disclose in the prior art, in non-NULL is mediated the workshop of reason, producing while starting and when the production for example occurred because of job failure is interrupted, must remove the part in productive output, because at first also must filling valve and bottle placer be placed in to predetermined temperature by liquid to be filled.Utilize the device 1 shown in Fig. 1, this no longer needs, because the liquid fill material 20 in stock chest 2 is held, and filling valve 3 also is maintained at predetermined temperature by the thermal contact with this stock chest 2.No longer need to make liquid fill material 20 to flow through filling valve 3 so that filling valve 3 in filling temperature, this be because filling valve 3 by the thermal contact with this stock chest 2 also in filling temperature.
Liquid fill material 20 is injected into this stock chest 2 by supply line 5 and corresponding rotary distributor 52.Supply line 5 preferably is equipped with isolation part 50, for reducing or stoping liquid fill material 20 to turn cold or heating on the road that arrives stock chest 2.
And container 10 residing zone in pouring process is placed in so-called isolation housing 6.Isolation housing 6 by simultaneously correspondingly the air of temperature adjustment (preferably also be sterilized and dry) flow through, this air for example is injected into isolation housing 6 by supply flange 60 and waste gas flange 62.
In order realize to rotate in positiver sealing, the sidewall 64 of isolation housing 6 is settled immovably and is locked 66 by water and is connected with the rotation component part of isolating housing 6, and this rotation component part for example is and covers 68 shapes.Isolation part 50 also can arrange around isolation housing 6, for maintaining the temperature adjustment in isolation housing 6.
In addition, the device shown in Fig. 1 is favourable with regard to following: other temperature sensitive parts are arranged on outside isolation housing 6.For example these weighing units 80 are placed in outside isolation housing 6, thereby can reduce the inexactness caused by temperature of weighing unit 80 and can correspondingly realize the accurate operation of this device 1, observe the filling temperature of expecting simultaneously.
The motor 120 of supply star-wheel 12 is placed in outside isolation housing 6 and also causes higher equipment availability, and this is because motor 120 can be not overheated.
The layout of weighing unit and the driving outside isolation housing 6 also have following advantage: these parts are positioned at outside the jeting area of product to be filled, also are located in outside the jeting area of cleaning medium used in the isolation housing.And the proximity of maintenance and repair can improve by described layout.The filling apparatus 1 of the container 10 shown in Fig. 1 because shown in filling valve 3 designs and at first be not suitable for filling fizzy beverage or soda.But applicability can produce by vicissitudinous filling valve 3 embodiments, this container 10 must be forced on such filling valve 3 like this, for giving container 10 pressurising in advance.
In order to obtain the temperature adjustment of stock chest 2, preferably by rotary distributor 52 supply, lead at the bottom of the rotation slot of stock chest 2 22 corresponding temperature control medium pipeline 42, to provide corresponding temperature control medium to the temperature control medium pipeline 40 in stock chest 2 bottom lands 22.By this temperature control medium pipeline 42, also can carry out temperature adjustment to the supply line 5 for liquid fill material 20 simultaneously.
By corresponding escape route 26, can by with after temperature control medium for example be discharged to vertical passage 28.In an alternative, passage 28 also can be configured to the closed type medium rotation guide mechanism form that is similar to medium rotary distributor 52.In another alternative, escape route 26 also can be realized by the grooved rail of medium rotary distributor 52.
When using cold product filling apparatus 1 especially to be used in cold-aseptic filling, motor 120 can be cooled by independent cooling loop 122.By cog belt 124 or act on identical moment transmitting device, can drive real filling apparatus 1 further to reduce the heat input.
Filling valve 3 is preferably preferably controlled by the valve control device 34 that is the pneumatics form.But as optional mode, for example also piezoelectric lamination, electromagnetic control apparatus or hydraulic control device can be set, just as the control setup by linear motor or other motor drive.Bore 32 diverse location by valve, can change velocity of liquid assets, and then change filling speed.
In addition, figure 1 illustrates for clearing up the system of isolation housing 6, it can not only also impose corresponding sterilised medium to stock chest 2 to isolation housing 6 by nozzle 70, to carry out cleaning and sterilization.
Again with schematic perspective, illustrate filling valve 3 in Fig. 2, wherein can know the base plate 30 of seeing that in Fig. 1 bottom land 22 one with stock chest 2 form, in other words with the direct coupled base plate 30 of the bottom land 22 of stock chest 2.
Except the valve seat 300 for holding valve cone 32, base plate 30 also has three guiding mechanisms 320, and they are for axially guiding valve cone 32.Lifting bar 340 so is connected with each control setup 34 by corresponding driver train, that is, valve cone 32 can be lifted and fall into again valve seat 300, so that the flow quantity control of liquid fill material to be provided.Be provided with radiation fins 322 for obtaining the sealing with respect to outside face.Because the fixed sealing for example consisted of O shape ring is not set certainly, but realizes dynamic seal (packing) by radiation fins 322, so obtain the embodiment of the special health of filling valve 3.Valve cone 32, radiation fins 322, lifting bar 40 and the valve cover 324 be connected with the lid of stock chest 2 in Fig. 1 form a unit and for example interconnect by method of laser welding with can not be split.
Schematically illustrated the birds-eye view comprised to the equipment of the device 1 of container filling liquid in Fig. 3.Show for sealing the closing device 14 of the container 10 of having filled with, be provided with in addition a plurality of thermal imagery pick up cameras 90,92, they can monitor container 10 temperature after pouring process.
