来のものと同様である。The filling valve 1 can be constructed in substantially the same manner as a conventional filling valve, but in the present embodiment, in particular, by forming the outer peripheral surface of the skirt wall 8 provided at the lower end of the outer cylinder 3 into a tapered shape, the cleaning cap is formed. It facilitates opening and closing of, and improves the sealing performance when the cleaning cap is attached.
That is, since the cleaning cap and the skirt wall are fitted to each other with a conical surface, when pressure is applied to the space 27, the seal member 21 is pushed upward, and the wedge effect of the conical surface further improves the sealing performance. In addition, in the configuration of the illustrated filling valve, 22
Is a vent tube, 23 is a differential pressure chamber, 24 is a gas flow path, 2
Reference numeral 5 is a filling port, and 26 is a presser rubber, and these structures are the same as the conventional ones.

に装着される。In the filling valve cleaning device of the liquid filling machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the cleaning of the filling valve is performed as follows. In the normal state in which the cleaning work is not performed, the cleaning cap 2 is in the non-cleaning state shown in FIG. 1A and is located inside the filling machine, so that it does not interfere with the filling work. When the filling valves are cleaned after the filling work is completed, the cylindrical cap opening / closing cam 10 is lowered from the state shown in FIG. 1 by a cylinder device (not shown), and all the filling valves are provided via the cam followers 11. The cap open / close bars 12 are pushed down all at once. As a result, the pinion 7 meshing with the rack 14 provided at the lower end of the cap opening / closing bar 12 rotates together with the cap rotating shaft 5 in the clockwise direction in FIG. When the cleaning cap is rotated clockwise, the wall surface 17 of the cleaning cap is fitted to the skirt wall 8 of the filling valve body, and the cleaning cap is replaced with the filling valve 1.

It is pushed against the tapered surface of the skirt wall 8 against the spring 18 and is recessed, and when it reaches the engaging recess 9, it is projected by the spring 8 and engages with the engaging recess 9. At this point, the sealing material 21 of the cleaning cap is also in close contact with the skirt wall 8, so that the cleaning cap completely closes the lower end of the skirt wall.

The cleaning liquid fills the space 27 below the pressing rubber 26 sealed by the cleaning cap, and circulates as shown by an arrow 30 in FIG. By continuing this state for a predetermined time, the filling valve can be properly cleaned. In particular, in the present invention, the cleaning can be performed while moving the filling valve 1 up and down as in the case of performing a normal filling operation, so that the cleaning liquid can be brought into contact with every corner where the filling liquid may come into contact, and the cleaning can be reliably performed. Further, since the filling valve is reliably closed by the cleaning cap, there is no risk of the cleaning liquid leaking.

When the upper and lower portions are pressed to disengage the insertion / extraction piece 19 by the lever action as shown in FIG. 2 (b) and the engagement with the engagement recess is released, the cleaning cap is instantly moved by its own weight and spring force.
It returns to the original state shown in (a).

Only one actuator is provided for the entire filling machine. It is possible to release the attachment of the cleaning cap. Further, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the opening of the cleaning cap is directed downward in the non-cleaning state, so that the cleaning liquid attached to the inner surface of the cleaning cap is naturally discharged, and drops of water are Since it does not remain on the inner surface of the cleaning cap, it can be kept in a good condition after cleaning without providing a special drain mechanism. Further, at the time of normal filling, as shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning cap is maintained in an open state by a spring force (not shown), so that it does not interfere with the filling work.

化でき、製造コストを低減できる。As described above, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to provide each filling valve with an actuator for mounting the cleaning cap provided on each filling valve on each filling valve. Since the cleaning cap can be attached to the filling valve, the number of parts can be reduced and simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

漏洩を確実に防止することができる。Further, since the cleaning cap is pendulum-moved by one cam and mounted on the filling nozzle, the mechanism is simple and the operation is reliable. Further, the cleaning cap is engaged with the filling valve by the ratchet mechanism, so that the cleaning cap can be automatically attached / detached by one touch with only one actuator as a whole. By fitting and sealing the cleaning cap and the filling valve on the tapered surface, the sealing performance of the cleaning cap is improved and the leakage of the cleaning liquid during cleaning can be reliably prevented.

Since the opening is facing downward, the cleaning liquid that has adhered to the inner surface of the cleaning cap will be naturally discharged, and drops will not remain on the inner surface of the cleaning cap, so maintain a good condition after cleaning without providing a special drain mechanism. You can Further, since the cleaning cap is kept open inward during normal filling, it does not interfere with the filling operation.
