Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filling device for filling a receptacle, of the kind comprising the features of the preamble of appended claim 1.
- the invention has application in the packaging of a food-grade fluid product (beverage), possibly containing solid pieces.
- One of the reference sectors is the bottling of so-called "sensitive" food products, i.e. products that are particularly sensitive to bacteriological contamination and oxidation, such as, for example, isotonic drinks, juices, nectars, soft drinks, tea, milk-based drinks, coffee-based drinks, soups, broths, etc., for which the prevention of possible microbiological contamination throughout all packaging stages is of fundamental importance.
- sensitive food products i.e. products that are particularly sensitive to bacteriological contamination and oxidation, such as, for example, isotonic drinks, juices, nectars, soft drinks, tea, milk-based drinks, coffee-based drinks, soups, broths, etc.
- the solid pieces are for example pieces of fruit or vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts, etc.
- a filling device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 3 543 205 A1 .
- a filling machine comprises a plurality of container filling stations, in which a dosing device is present with a shutter which puts the product tank in selective communication with the dispensing nozzle.
- Each dosing device is generally associated with a flow rate regulator so as to pass from higher flow rates - in the initial step of filling the receptacle - to lower flow rates, when the filling is nearing completion.
- the regulation of the flow rate is carried out by detecting the fluid level or the weight reached by the fluid in the receptacle - this detection can take place with a known type sensor, which transmits an appropriate signal for opening/closing the shutter.
- the dosing device thus assumes at least three configurations:
- the flow rate selector comprises an elongated shutter slidable inside a valve body that can assume two limit configurations inside the valve body, i.e. a total closure configuration and a maximum open configuration.
- the shutter is crossed by a channel which extends throughout the length thereof and has some radial fins that branch off from the body or main stem. Sliding in the valve body, the shutter can assume a configuration in which the opening of the channel is reduced, which determines a regulation of the flow rate.
- the movement means of the shutter is external to the valve body and comprises:
- the tubular body houses at least one permanent magnet magnetically coupled with one ferromagnetic layer constituting the shutter.
- the magnetic coupling of the shutter and tubular body is not, however, optimal from the point of view of magnetic flow lines. This can cause a delay in the transition from the high flow rate to the low flow rate of the valve, as well as poor accuracy and reliability.
- a valve with magnetic coupling is known from document US 2006/261300 , in which an actuator is present that is formed by different magnets separated by ferromagnetic portions.
- the technical task underpinning the present invention is to propose a device for filling a receptacle which obviates the drawbacks of the prior art as cited above.
- an object of the present invention is to propose a filling device for filling a receptacle whose implementation is more reliable, precise and rapid than known solutions.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a filling device for filling a receptacle in which the flow rate of dispensed fluid can be regulated in a simple, accurate and reliable manner.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a filling device for filling a receptacle capable of dispensing a fluid containing solid pieces without increasing the structural complexity.
- a filling device for filling a receptacle comprising:
- the shutter and the first annular sleeve are coupled magnetically or electromagnetically.
- the flow rate selector and the second annular sleeve are coupled magnetically or electromagnetically.
- the shutter comprises a first core made of ferromagnetic material to which a first coating is applied made of a thermoplastic polymer.

- each of the radial projections has a tapered extension leading away from the central portion.
- each of the first ferromagnetic rings faces a group of radial projections located at the same height as the shutter.
- a first wall of the valve body is interposed between the ferromagnetic ring and the radial projections of the group.
- each radial projection consists of a fin or tooth extending radially from the central portion.
- the fins or teeth that extend at the same height as the shutter define a cross-shaped structure.
- the second core has a central portion having a cylindrical extension along a second longitudinal direction and a plurality of radial projections that are substantially orthogonal to the second longitudinal direction.
- Spaces or gaps filled by the second coating are defined between the adjacent radial projections of the second core.
- each of the radial projections has a tapered extension leading away from the central portion.
- each of the second ferromagnetic rings faces a group of radial projections located at the same height as the flow rate selector.

- the movements of the shutter 8 and of the flow rate selector 9 inside the passage 3 are independent of one another, because they are linked to the movement of the respective annular sleeves 13, 23 (if the coupling is magnetic) or to the electromagnetic field generated by the respective annular sleeves 13, 23 (if the coupling is electromagnetic, as seen below).

- the first portion and the second portion of the passage 3 have a longitudinal extension along the same direction.
- the first portion and the second portion of the passage 3 are connected by an intermediate portion that also extends along the same direction of extension as the first two portions.
- the packed structure of the annular sleeves, formed by magnetic and ferromagnetic rings, coupled respectively with the shutter and with the flow rate selector having a ferromagnetic core makes the magnetic coupling reliable and precise.
- the ferromagnetic rings facing the radial projections allows the magnetic coupling to be optimised compared with known solutions because it keeps the flow lines of the magnetic field concentrated in the ferromagnetic materials, counteracting the dispersion thereof in the air or in the polymeric material of the coating.
- the cross-shaped finned structure of the core both in the shutter and in the flow rate selector, further enables:
- the conformation by means of a hexagon of the portion for the thermoplastic polymer gaps in both the first and in the second core is particularly resistant to stress.
