Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fülldüse für flüssiges oder pastöses Füllgut nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Dosiereinrichtung mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Fülldüse sowie die Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Fülldüse.The invention relates to a filling nozzle for liquid or pasty filling material according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a metering device with a filling nozzle according to the invention and the use of a filling nozzle according to the invention.

Eine weitere FĂĽlldĂĽse ist aus der
Aus Gründen der einfachen Herstellbarkeit weisen die Querschnittflächen der Füllkanäle bei der bekannten Fülldüsen kreisrunde Querschnittsflächen auf, wobei die Querschnittfläche bzw. der Durchmesser des Füllkanals derart ausgelegt ist, dass ein Nachtropfen von Füllgut aus dem Füllkanal in den Behälter nach dem Füllstopp vermieden wird. Dazu wird sich der Effekt zunutze gemacht, dass bei genügend kleiner Querschnittsfläche des Füllkanals durch die Adhäsionskräfte ein Nachtropfen bzw. Auslaufen des Füllguts aus dem Auslass des Füllkanals vermieden werden kann, wobei die Dimensionierung der Querschnittfläche stets von der Viskosität bzw. den Produkteigenschaften des Füllguts abhängt.For reasons of ease of manufacture, the cross-sectional areas of the filling channels in the known filling nozzles on circular cross-sectional areas, wherein the cross-sectional area or the diameter of the filling channel is designed such that dripping of filling material from the filling channel is avoided in the container after Füllstopp. For this purpose, the effect is exploited that with sufficiently small cross-sectional area of the filling channel by the adhesion forces dripping or leakage of the filling material from the outlet of the filling channel can be avoided, the dimensioning of the cross-sectional area always depends on the viscosity or the product properties of the medium ,
Darüber hinaus sind aus dem Stand der Technik Fülldüsen bekannt, die eine Vielzahl von Füllkanälen für einen Behälter mit jeweils kreisförmigen Querschnittsflächen aufweisen, um eine möglichst hohe Füllleistung bei gleichzeitiger Verhinderung des angesprochenen Nachtropfens des Füllguts zu erzielen. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass trotz der Verwendung mehrerer Füllkanäle zum Befüllen eines Behälters der zur Befüllung des Behälters zur Verfügung stehende Gesamtquerschnitt der Querschnittsflächen, bezogen auf den Gesamtquerschnitt der Fülldüse, relativ gering ist, da die zwischen den Querschnittsflächen angeordneten Trennstege der Fülldüse eine relativ große (Querschnitts-)Fläche aufweisen. Eine möglichst große Querschnittsfläche der Fülldüse zur Befüllung eines Behälters ist jedoch wünschenswert, um beispielsweise bei einer gegebenen Füllleistung Schaumbildung, Spritzer oder ähnliches zu vermeiden, und somit ein reibungsloses Abfüllen des Behälters zu ermöglichen.In addition, filling nozzles are known from the prior art, which have a plurality of filling channels for a container, each having a circular cross-sectional areas, in order to achieve the highest possible filling capacity while preventing the aforementioned dripping of the filling material. The disadvantage here is that despite the use of multiple filling channels for filling a container of the available filling of the container available total cross section of the cross-sectional areas, based on the total cross section of the filling nozzle, is relatively low, since the arranged between the cross-sectional areas dividers of the filling nozzle a relatively large ( Cross-sectional area) have. However, the largest possible cross-sectional area of the filling nozzle for filling a container is desirable, for example, to avoid foaming, splashing or the like at a given filling capacity, and thus to allow a smooth filling of the container.
Die Fülldüse für flüssiges oder pastöses Füllgut mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 weist gegenüber der
Weiterhin nutzt die Erfindung die bereits aus dem eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik bekannte Ausgestaltung der Füllkanäle, wonach wenigstens einer der Füllkanäle zur Minimierung der Gesamtquerschnittsfläche der Trennstege in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Gehäuses eine Querschnittfläche aufweist, die unrund ausgebildet ist. Dadurch wird der zur Verfügung stehende Querschnitt der Fülldüse möglichst vollständig mit den Querschnittflächen der Füllkanäle ausgefüllt, um die Querschnittsfläche der die Füllkanäle trennenden Trennstege zu minimieren. Dies erfordert in der Praxis stets wenigstens einen Füllkanal bzw. eine Querschnittsfläche, die unrund, beispielsweise dreiecksförmig, rechteckig oder ähnlich ausgebildet ist, um den zur Verfügung stehenden Querschnitt der Fülldüse möglichst optimal mit den Querschnittsflächen der Füllkanäle auszufüllen.Furthermore, the invention uses the already known from the above-mentioned prior art embodiment of the filling channels, according to which at least one of the filling channels to minimize the total cross-sectional area of the separating webs in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the housing has a cross-sectional area which is formed out of round. As a result, the available cross-section of the filling nozzle is filled as completely as possible with the cross-sectional areas of the filling channels in order to minimize the cross-sectional area of the separating webs separating the filling channels. In practice, this always requires at least one filling channel or a cross-sectional surface which is non-circular, for example triangular, rectangular or similar, in order to optimally fill the available cross-section of the filling nozzle with the cross-sectional surfaces of the filling channels.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Fülldüse für eine Dosiereinrichtung für flüssiges oder pastöses Füllgut sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous developments of the filling nozzle according to the invention for a metering device for liquid or pasty filling are listed in the subclaims.
In einer ersten konstruktiven bzw. geometrischen Gestaltung der Füllkanäle wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Teilbereich der Fülldüse, in dem die Füllkanäle ausgebildet sind, eine runde Außenkontur aufweist, in dessen Längsachse ein erster, eine runde Querschnittsfläche aufweisender Füllkanal ausgebildet ist, um den in gleichmäßigen Winkelabständen herum mehrere, vorzugsweise jeweils dieselben unrunden Querschnittsflächen aufweisende zweite Füllkanäle angeordnet sind.In a first constructional or geometric design of the filling channels, it is proposed that the partial region of the filling nozzle in which the filling channels are formed have a round outer contour, in whose longitudinal axis a first filling channel having a round cross-sectional area is formed, at uniform angular intervals a plurality of, preferably in each case the same non-circular cross-sectional areas having second Füllkanäle are arranged.
Insbesondere wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Querschnittsflächen der zweiten Füllkanäle jeweils in etwa dreiecksförmig ausgebildet sind. Die Dreiecksform hat den Vorteil, dass insbesondere bei runden oder ovalen Fülldüsen (bezogen auf die äußere Form der Fülldüse) eine relativ einfache Anpassung der Querschnittsflächen zur Erzielung eines insgesamt möglichst großen Füllquerschnitts ermöglicht wird.In particular, it is proposed that the cross-sectional areas of the second filling channels are each formed approximately triangular. The triangular shape has the advantage that, in particular in the case of round or oval filling nozzles (based on the external shape of the filling nozzle), a relatively simple adaptation of the Cross-sectional areas to achieve a total of the largest possible filling cross section is made possible.
Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, dass der Teilbereich, in dem die Füllkanäle ausgebildet sind, eine dem Innenquerschnitt des zu befüllenden Behälters angepassten, insbesondere zumindest im Wesentlichen rechteckförmige Außenkontur aufweist, und dass die Füllkanäle zumindest im Wesentlichen alle im Querschnitt rechteckförmig ausgebildet sind und dieselben rechteckförmigen Querschnittsflächen aufweisen. Dabei ist die Größe der Querschnittsflächen den eingangs erwähnten Erfordernissen bezüglich des Verhinderns des Nachtropfens des Füllguts aus den Füllkanälen angepasst bzw. diesbezüglich optimiert.Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the partial region in which the filling channels are formed has an outer contour adapted to the inner cross section of the container to be filled, in particular at least substantially rectangular, and that the filling channels are at least substantially all rectangular in cross section and the same rectangular Have cross-sectional areas. The size of the cross-sectional areas is adapted to the requirements mentioned above with regard to the prevention of dripping of the filling material from the filling channels or optimized in this regard.
Eine Optimierung der Querschnittsflächen wird dadurch erzielt, dass die Querschnittsflächen jeweils in etwa gleich groß sind. Insbesondere ist damit gemeint, dass die Größe der Querschnittsflächen derart gewählt ist, dass ein Nachtropfen vom Produkt bzw. Füllgut aus den Füllkanälen beim Füllende vermieden wird.An optimization of the cross-sectional areas is achieved in that the cross-sectional areas are each about the same size. In particular, this means that the size of the cross-sectional areas is chosen such that dripping of the product or filling material from the filling channels at the filling end is avoided.
Die Erfindung umfasst auch eine Dosiereinrichtung unter Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Fülldüse sowie die Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Fülldüse zum Dosieren von Getränken oder pastösem Füllgut wie Joghurt, Senf oder ähnlichen Lebensmitteln.The invention also includes a metering device using a filling nozzle according to the invention and the use of a filling nozzle according to the invention for metering beverages or pasty contents such as yogurt, mustard or similar foods.
