Definitions
- the present invention relates to a constant-level filling process of containers with a flat or gaseous liquid and a filling spout for the implementation of this method.
- filling spouts can not be used for the conditioning of gaseous liquids, that is to say of liquids containing a gas dissolved in the liquid, in because of the outgassing that occurs when introducing the liquid into the container.
- devices comprising a very complex system of conduits and valves putting the filling nozzle in relation with a pressure vessel containing the liquid to be packaged so as to put the feed tank and the container in equipressure.
- the air initially contained in the container is returned to the feed tank and may therefore cause pollution of the liquid to be packaged.
- the complexity of the circuits it is difficult to perform an effective cleaning.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a filling spout implementing this method, to achieve in a simple way the filling of containers with a flat or gaseous liquid.
- a method for filling containers at a constant level by means of a filling spout comprising: an annular connection portion configured to provide a sealing support with a container neck , and delimit a distribution area,
- a distribution duct connected to a liquid supply source under a distribution pressure via a distribution valve and opening into the distribution zone
- the air contained in the container is compressed until it reaches the setting pressure so that, in the case of a gaseous liquid, the pressure in the container is opposed to degassing of the liquid.
- the pressurized gas trapped between the exhaust locking valve and the calibrated valve causes an opening of the exhaust locking valve and an accelerated return of the liquid content in the exhaust vent to the container.
- the method further comprises a step of injecting into the exhaust vent, after the introduction of a container, a gas at a pressure at most equal to the pressure of exhaust.
- a gas at a pressure at most equal to the pressure of exhaust in the case of a flat liquid, the introduction of a neutral gas into the container makes it possible to reduce the effective rate of oxygen.
- the introduction into a vessel at atmospheric pressure of nitrogen at a pressure of 200 kPa lower the proportion of oxygen trapped at one-third of its initial value.
- the invention also relates to a filling spout comprising:
- annular connection portion configured to provide a sealing support with a container neck, and delimiting a dispensing zone, a dispensing duct connected to a liquid supply source under a dispensing pressure via a distribution valve and opening in the distribution area,
- an exhaust lock valve controlled by a liquid level in the exhaust vent, interposed in the exhaust vent between the dispensing zone and the venting port, and
- a calibrated valve mounted between the exhaust lock valve and the vent port.
- the filling spout comprises a gas injection member arranged to allow an injection of gas into a container bearing against the annular connection portion.
- the gas injection member opens into the exhaust vent between the exhaust locking valve and the venting port.
- the gas injection member is not reached by the liquid during filling of the container, which simplifies the cleaning of the filling spouts.
- the filling spout comprises a connecting duct opening on the one hand in the distribution duct, and on the other hand in the exhaust vent, between the exhaust locking valve and the venting port, and a valve mounted on the duct link.
- the amount of liquid that rises in the exhaust vent and then returns to the container is a function of the volume of the float ensuring the closing maneuver of the exhaust lock valve. This poses a problem insofar as the liquid used to lift the float then returns to the container and may be polluted during its passage through the exhaust vent. It is therefore desirable to minimize the volume of the exhaust lock valve.
- the exhaust lock valve is disposed in a closed enclosure having an upper wall having an exhaust port surrounded by an upper seat for the exhaust lock valve
- the Exhaust locking valve is a weighing valve mounted to slide in a valve guide having a guide duct having a lower end communicating with the exhaust vent, and an upper end centered on the upper seat of the locking valve.
- exhaust the exhaust lock valve being further mounted in the guide duct with a clearance creating a sufficient pressure drop so that the exhaust lock valve is pushed in the manner of a piston by the liquid coming by the exhaust vent.
- an exhaust lock valve of a size slightly greater than the upper seat is sufficient for ensure a tight closure of the exhaust port so that the volume of liquid necessary for the operation of the exhaust lock valve is very small.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side view of a filling carousel equipped with filling nozzles according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a greatly enlarged sectional view of the box A of FIG. 1 along the line II-II of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a greatly enlarged sectional view of the box B of FIG. 1 along the line III-III of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the exhaust lock valve guide according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the box C of Figure 3.
- the filling carousel comprises an annular supply manifold 1 supplied with pressurized liquid by radial ducts 2 having one end connected to the supply manifold 1 and an opposite end connected to a rotary joint 3 providing a connection with a pressurized liquid supply source symbolized by a pump 4 associated with a storage tank 5.
- the collector 1 is formed by an annular groove 6 made in a tray 7, and closed by an annular cover 8 suitably fixed to the plate 7 by not shown bolts extending in holes 9, the seal between the plate 7 and the cover 8 being provided by O-rings 10 and 11.
- Filler nozzles 12 are suspended under the plate 7.
- Each filling spout 12 has a spout body 13 traversed by a vertical bore 14 having at its lower part a recess 15 in which is mounted an annular seal 16 forming an annular connecting portion configured to provide a sealing with a container neck 17.
- a distribution duct formed by a rectilinear tube 18 is mounted in the bore 14 and is held in place by an O-ring 19 compressed by a screwed bushing 20.
- the lower end of the distribution duct 18 extends inside. of the container in which it defines a distribution zone 21.
- the upper end 22 of the distribution duct 18 is fixed under the plate 7 and is connected to the supply manifold 1 by a bore 23, via a valve 24.
- the dispensing valve 24 comprises a ball 25 resting on a bowl 26 sealingly mounted across the distribution pipe 18 and having a dispensing orifice 27 having a diameter smaller than that of the ball 25.
- the ball 25 is operated by a magnetic actuator comprising a finger 28 carried by a cylindrical magnetic armature 29 disposed inside the distribution duct. 18 and whose position is determined by a magnetic ring 30 mounted axially movable to the distribution duct 18 and surrounding it at the level of the magnetic armature 29.
- the position of the magnetic ring is determined by an operating member comprising here a roller 31 fixed on the magnetic ring 30 and cooperating with a guide cam 30.
- the finger 28 extends coaxially with the dispensing orifice 27 of the cup 26 so that depending on the movements axial of the magnetic armature 29, the ball 25 is either resting on the edge of the dispensing orifice 27 to ensure a closure of the supply duct 18, or removed from this position by the finger 28 so that the liquid under pressure can flow through the dispensing orifice 27 into the dispensing duct 18.
- the latter comprises a recess 33 in which is mounted a tube 34 which extends coaxially with the distribution duct 18 and is spaced from it and which extends downwards to near the lower end of the dispensing duct 18.
- the tube 34 is pierced with an orifice 35 which coincides with a bore 36 in the spout body 13.
- the tube 34 and the piercing 36 thus define part of an exhaust vent whose upper end opens into an exhaust control member 37.
- the exhaust control member 37 comprises a body 38 having a longitudinal bore 39. At its lower end, the bore 39 opens into a bore 44 of larger diameter than the bore 39 so that the recess between the bore 39 and the bore 44 defines an upper seat 45 for a weighing valve formed here by a steel ball 46.
- the term "check valve” means a valve having a density that is not sufficient to be able to to be carried by the liquid to be conditioned.
- the ball 46 is mounted in an exhaust locking valve guide formed here by a sleeve 47 having a cylindrical side wall 48 of the same diameter as the bore 44, provided with an annular flange 49 having dimensions identical to a recess.
- the sleeve 47 thus defines with the bore 48 a closed enclosure 67 provided with an exhaust port 45.
- the bushing 47 has a central bore 51 coaxial with the bore 39 in the body 38 and of the same diameter as the latter.
- the lower end of the bore 51 coincides with the upper end of the bore 36 in the block 13.
- the bushing 47 has an upper bore 52, coaxial with the bore 51 forming a guide duct for the ball 46 and having a diameter greater than that of the ball, adapted so that the clearance between the ball 46 and the bore 52 creates a sufficient head loss so that the ball 46 is repelled in the manner of a piston by liquid arriving in the hole 36.
- a set of 0.5 tenths of a mm to one tenth of a mm is satisfactory.
- the recess between the bore 51 and the bore 52 defines a lower seat 55 for the ball 46.
- the lower seat 55 is at a distance from the upper seat such that the stroke d of the ball 46 between the low position shown in the line. continuous in Figure 5, and the upper position shown in dashes, at most equal to the radius of the ball 46.
- the bushing 47 has a radial bore 54, of the same diameter as the bore 51, associated with a lateral notch 53 having a section greater than the bore 51 to delimit, with the lateral wall 48 of the enclosure 67 a short conduit.
- -circuit extending in parallel to the guide duct 52 and having a lower end opening below the ball 46 and an upper end opening above the ball 46 when the latter in a rest position resting on the seat lower 55.
- the short circuit conduit has a volume greater than a volume swept by the exhaust lock valve between a low position and a high position.
- the body 38 further comprises a piercing 56 transverse to the piercing 39 and associated with a bore 57 in which is screwed a sleeve 58 whose central duct 59 forms part of the exhaust vent and opens out of the body 38 in a venting orifice 60.
- the bore 57 has a diameter greater than the bore 56 and the recess thus formed forms a seat for a ball 61 biased towards it by a spring 62 disposed in the central duct of the sleeve 58, and whose bearing force is determined by screwing
- the bushing 58, the ball 61 and the spring 62 thus form a valve calibrated between the exhaust port 45 and the vent port 60.
- the upper end of the longitudinal bore 39 is equipped with a pressurized gas injection member comprising a bushing 40 in which a nonreturn valve 41 is mounted.
- the bushing 40 is connected to a source of pressurized gas such as a nitrogen cylinder 42, via a valve 43 whose position is controlled by an operating member such as a roller associated with a cam, not shown.
- the filling nozzle comprises a connecting duct 63 opening on the one hand into the dispensing duct 18 and on the other hand into the bore 39.
- a valve 64 is mounted on the connecting duct 63 and its position is determined by a control member such as a roller 65 associated with a retractable cam 66.
- the device thus described serves to implement the method according to the invention as described below.
- the calibrated valve 61 is first set to close the exhaust vent according to a setting at the maximum exhaust pressure that is desired to reach the container during filling, this calibration pressure being of course lower. at the distribution pressure.
- a container to be filled is placed on the part of annular connection. If necessary depending on the desired filling conditions, a gas at a pressure at most equal to the exhaust pressure is injected into the exhaust vent. It should be noted in this regard that because of its weight the exhaust lock valve 46 is normally supported on the lower seat 55.
- the exhaust lock valve is plated on the lower seat 55 with a greater force as the pressure is higher in the exhaust vent.
- the dispensing valve is then opened and the liquid then flows into the container at a rate which is a function of the difference between the dispensing pressure and the pressure in the container.
- the liquid rises in the exhaust vent.
- the bushing 47 the liquid rises simultaneously in the bore 51 and in the short-circuit conduit 53, but because of the difference in volume between the short-circuit conduit and the bore 51, the liquid rises faster. in the bore 51 only in the short circuit conduit so that the exhaust lock valve is pushed against the upper seat 45 before the liquid reaches it through the short circuit conduit.
- the exhaust vent is closed by the exhaust lock valve 46, the liquid ceases to flow into the container.
- the dispensing valve 25 is then closed and the container is lowered to disengage it from the seal 16.
- the neck of the container is thus vented and because of the pressurized gas trapped between the calibrated valve 61 and the locking valve exhaust 46, the latter is pushed sharply downwards and the liquid contained in the exhaust vent is driven to the container.
- the invention has been described in relation to a filling spout connected to a device for injecting a pressurized gas, which makes it possible to very quickly reach a high pressure inside the container, it is possible to implement the method according to the invention without prior injection of pressurized gas, the pressure finally reached in the container being only a function of the quantity of liquid introduced into the container and the setting of the valve 61.
- the invention has been described in connection with a filling spout comprising a connecting tube 63 between the liquid distribution duct and the exhaust vent in order to simplify the washing circuit and the washing operation, it is may provide to separately feed the cleaning of the distribution pipe on the one hand, and the exhaust vent on the other hand by installing on the block 37 a cleaning liquid injection member. Whether the washing product is sent into the exhaust circuit via the connecting pipe or by an independent injection member, it can in any case be recovered below the filling spout by a manifold common to the distribution duct and the exhaust vent.
