Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for dosing products, which are supplied in a predefined amount of packaging and in which a dosage is set by opening and closing at least one valve.
- the invention further relates to a device for dosing products, which are supplied in a predefined amount of packaging, wherein the device comprises at least one valve which controls or regulates a product flow by opening and closing a conveying path and which has a valve housing in which at least one blocking element is arranged positionable in the conveying path.
- Such devices and methods are used, for example, for filling and / or quantity dosage of pourable, flowable or pasty products or products with particulate portions especially of food products, such as beverages, other liquid or pasty foods, lumpy foods and / or mixtures or mixtures of above listed foods or products.
- a large opening cross-section usually has to be provided and, upon closure of the valve, tils the product must be cut as possible.
- Such requirements are also present in particular in the field of aseptic filling of foodstuffs.
- pin spouts are often used.
- roller outlets or similar devices In the non-aseptic field, it is known to use roller outlets or similar devices.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to improve a method of the aforementioned type such that a faster and more reliable filling process with gentle handling of the product to be filled is realized.
- This object is achieved in that arranged by a controllable or controllable positioning of at least one arranged in a valve housing of the valve cylinder-like locking element at least one arranged in the region of side surfaces of the locking element recess for providing an opening or closing position and for defining a cross section of an outflow becomes.
- Another object of the present invention is to construct a device of the aforementioned type such that a quick and gentle filling of the product is supported with a simple mechanical structure of the metering device.
- both a first and a second locking element has a cylinder-like design and are provided in the region of side surfaces each having at least one recess and that the locking elements are arranged relative to each other substantially coaxially.
- the inventive method and the device according to the invention make it possible to variably adapt the size of the resulting outlet opening to the product to be filled and to change the position of the outlet opening in a suitable manner. To avoid buildup on the filling spout, it is possible that the spout is moved in a closed position so that optionally an overhanging product can be stripped, for example, on the housing wall in a ready-made packaging.
- the outlet according to the invention As a result of the outlet according to the invention, the generation of a pressure when the valve device is opened within the filling chamber is avoided in comparison with a shut-off valve. In addition, the outlet on the outside does not come into direct contact with the product, so that product adhesion to the outlet is minimized. Finally, the force required to open and close the metering device is independent of the pressure within the filling chamber, so that a comparatively small dimensioned drive for the blocking elements is sufficient.
- a compact construction is assisted by coaxially positioning the locking elements relative to one another.
- a simple controllability can be achieved in that the locking elements are positioned relative to each other by a rotational movement.
- a size of the outlet opening is predetermined by an arrangement of the locking elements relative to each other and relative to the valve housing.
- a positioning of the outlet opening is predetermined by an arrangement of the locking elements relative to each other and relative to the valve housing.
- both a size and a positioning of the outlet opening is predetermined by an arrangement of the locking elements relative to each other and relative to the valve housing.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a valve with two sleeve-like locking elements arranged substantially coaxially relative to one another in a closed state of the valve
- Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of FIG. 1 in an open state of the valve
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the two sleeve-like locking elements in a disassembled state.
- the device for dosing products with a valve (1) is provided, which is arranged in the region of a conveying path (2).
- a first blocking element (4) and a second blocking element (5) are arranged.
- Relative to a transverse axis (6) extend the locking elements (4, 5) substantially relative to each other coaxially and sleeve-like.
- the arrangement of the components takes place in such a way that the valve housing (3) is positioned on the outside and the first blocking element (4) leads. Within the first blocking element (4), the second blocking element (5) is arranged.
- the arrangement is in this case in particular such that the first blocking element (4) is arranged to be movable relative to the valve housing (3) and that the second blocking element (5) is arranged to be movable within the first blocking element (4).
- the mobility is realized here as a rotatability of the components relative to one another and around the transverse axis (6).
- the blocking elements (4, 5) each have lateral surfaces (7, 8), which are contoured correspondingly by sections and segments of a cylinder wall. In the region of the lateral surfaces (7, 8) each recesses (9, 10) are arranged.
- Fig. 1 shows an arrangement of the valve (1) such that an outflow opening (11) of the valve housing (3) from the lateral surfaces (7, 8) of the locking elements (4, 5) is closed. In this operating state no product to be filled can escape from the outflow opening (11).
- Fig. 2 illustrates in particular that by an appropriate positioning of the locking elements (4, 5) relative to each other and relative to the valve housing (3) both the size of a resulting outlet opening (12) and the positioning of a surface center line (13) relative to the valve housing (3 ) can be changed and varied.
- the specification of the effective size of the outlet opening (12) and the orientation of the surface center line (13) can, in accordance with the embodiment in FIGS.
- the first blocking element (4) is provided both with a lateral surface (7 ) as well as with a lateral surface (14) are provided, which are arranged relative to each other in a circumferential direction at a distance and the recess (9) limit.
- a positioning of the locking elements (4, 5) relative to each other and relative to the valve housing (3) can be done manually or automatically.
- the use of electrical or pneumatic positioning elements is particularly intended, which act on the blocking elements (4, 5) either directly or with the interposition of couplings, gears or other connecting devices.
- Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the two separate and from the valve housing (3) her-recessed locking elements (4, 5).
- the cylindrical design of the locking elements (4, 5) is thereby clarified again.
- the locking elements (4, 5) each have at the ends of the respective cylindrical extensions a bottom (15, 16) and a lid (17, 18).
- the bottoms (15, 16) and the cover (17, 18) have a surface closed training, but these can, for example, as a guide ring or differently designedêtsseiement be formed.
- the above-described sleeve-like embodiment represents a particular embodiment of a cylinder-like design of the locking elements (4, 5).
- Cylindrical formations also comprise conical or frustoconical designs.
- the corresponding conical or cylindrical designs may also be made partially solid, preferably extending within the solid embodiment through channels.
