Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filling device for a machine for filling containers with non-gaseous liquids.
- a more particular subject of the present invention is the production of a filling device, of the type with separate air return, that is to say avoiding pollution of the liquid to be drawn off by the air evacuated from the container during its filling.
- these devices are mechanical control devices with sliding seals which, in addition to problems of mechanical production, pose significant problems of bacterial proliferation.
- the Applicant therefore posed the problem of producing a container filling device with non-gaseous liquids which is both simple to manufacture, reducing the number of parts necessary for its production, and aseptic, while not reducing the rate of filling of the containers.
- the filling device A is intended to fill, from a liquid supply tank B, a container C, made of plastic or other material, carried by a lifting device D.
- the filling device A consists of a body 1 of axis XX, an electrical probe 2, coaxial passing through the body 1 over its entire height, of a sleeve 3 of axis XX for discharging the air located in the container C to be filled, a liquid flow conduit 4, and a membrane 5, made of elastomer or other elastic material.
- this membrane 5 consists of a circular washer of axis X-X pierced at its center with a coaxial circular orifice 0.
- the body 1, of vertical axis X-X is pierced, on its upper face, with a coaxial upper orifice 6, and on its lower face, with a coaxial lower orifice 7.
- the orifices 6 and 7 open into a central chamber 8, of axis XX, of the body 1.
- This chamber 8 is limited by a ceiling consisting of an annular surface 9, connected with a vertical wall 10 by a surface of revolution 11 of axis XX which constitutes the periphery of this central chamber 8.
- This chamber 8 is limited, below, by a floor 12 connected to the lower orifice 7 by a shoulder 13.
- This central chamber 8 communicates with a peripheral chamber 14, of axis X-X, by an annular passage between a lower surface 15 of the wall 10 and the floor 12 which extends radially beyond this wall 10.
- This chamber 14 is limited, at its upper end, by an annular surface 16.
- this surface 16 is of curved section but it could be of straight section.
- This surface 16 is connected, inwards in the direction of the axis XX, to a surface 17 of revolution of axis XX. This surface 17 therefore constitutes, with the surfaces 15 and 11, the wall 10.
- the annular chamber 14 is limited, at its periphery, by a surface 18 of revolution of axis XX which is connected both with the floor 12 and the annular surface 16 which constitutes the ceiling of the peripheral chamber 14.
- a conduit 19 opens out in the peripheral chamber 14 connecting this peripheral chamber 14 to the liquid supply tank B.
- the filling device A has a body 1 consisting of a central chamber 8 of vertical axis XX communicating with a peripheral chamber 14 by an annular passage formed between the wall 10 for separation of the central 8 and peripheral chambers 14, forming the seat surface 15, and a surface 12 (floor 12) of the central chamber extending radially beyond the wall 10 in the peripheral chamber 14.
- annular groove 20 is formed at the periphery of the surface 18, between the arrival of the conduit 19 in the peripheral chamber 14 and the floor 12. This annular groove 20 corresponds to a plane of joint between a part upper 100 and lower part 101 of the body 1.
- a conduit 22 opens into the peripheral chamber 14, or into the central chamber 8, through the floor 12.
- This conduit 22 is connected to a source of pressurized gas not represented by a solenoid valve E.
- the sleeve 4 which extends from the shoulder 13 through the orifice 7 below the device A, also makes it possible to fix the inner edge of the membrane 5 against said shoulder, this membrane 5 being moreover fixed , by its peripheral edge, in the annular groove 20 of the surface of revolution 18.
- the surface 15 of the wall 10 is located radially approximately halfway between the shoulder 13 and the annular groove 20.
- a gap of a few millimeters is provided between the upper surface of the membrane 5 and this surface 15.
- the sleeve 3 fixed to the body 1 in a leaktight manner at the orifice 6, extends downward through the sleeve 4 and opens out below the latter. This sleeve 3 is traversed over its entire height by the electrical probe 2.
- An annular conduit 42 is formed between the electrical probe 2 and the internal surface of the sleeve 3.
- an annular channel 26 connects the central chamber 8 with the exterior of the device A.
- a proximity detector P of the container C to be filled is placed, for example, on the filling device A according to the invention.
- this detector P is fixed to the body 1, but it could be independent of this body 1 and placed, for example, on the lifting device D.
- FIG. 3 shows an adaptation of the filling device according to the invention to a filling device called "long cannula”.
- the sleeve 3 and the probe 2 have been removed the orifice 6 having also disappeared.
- the sleeve 4 has moreover been replaced by a long channel 41 on which a probe 42 has been fixed on the outside thereof. Due to the presence of the probe 42 outside the cannula 41, the latter is advantageously made of insulating material.
- FIG. 4 shows another adaptation of the filling device according to the invention to a filling device with long cannula, in which the parts 100 and 101 of the body 1 have been reversed.
- the orifice 7 has been eliminated and a long cannula 411 has been fixed to the orifice 6 and provided with a probe 42.
- the membrane 5 is no longer pierced with a central orifice 0.
- the proximity detector P When the lifting device D raises the container C until the sleeve 4 penetrates inside the neck of the container C, the proximity detector P is activated and then controls the solenoid valve E which reduces the pressure prevailing in the annular chamber 23. Thus, the membrane 5 no longer being in contact with the surface 15 of the wall 10, the peripheral chamber 14 is placed in communication with the central chamber 8.
- the liquid can therefore flow into the container C to be filled, through the annular conduit 26 constituted by the internal face of the sleeve 4 and the external face of the sleeve 3.
- the air contained in the container C can escape through the annular conduit 24 constituted by the sleeve 3 and the probe 2 through the orifice 25.
- the air contained in the container to be filled is not evacuated in the liquid supply tank without losing any liquid to be drawn off in this operation.
- filling is carried out with great hygiene, both by the separate air return and by the absence of moving parts, and therefore of seals, which are as many bacteria traps. Furthermore, the washing of a filling device according to the invention is very simplified, since it suffices to cut off the supply of pressurized gas to the annular chamber 23 to open the entire filling device A and thus put it in position. in washing.
- the filling device does not cause any loss of liquid since, by its very principle, the supply is stopped as soon as the necessary quantity of liquid has been supplied.
- the filling device according to the invention works perfectly, even in the absence of any sealed contact between the neck of the container C to be filled and the filling device A.
- the filling device according to the invention has closing times of the order of 20 milliseconds, while it is usually considered that the pneumatic devices are slow.
