Description

Die Erfindunq betrifft ein Verfahren zur schaumarmen Abqabe loser Frischmilch in abqemessenen Mengen an den Verbraucher gemäß der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 anqegebenen Art, sowie ein Auslaßventil zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a process for the low-foaming delivery of loose fresh milk in measured amounts to the consumer in accordance with the manner specified in the preamble of claim 1, and an outlet valve for carrying out the process.

Bei der Abgabe von loser Frischmilch direkt an den Uerbraucher sind wichtige Vorschriften und Verordnunqen zu berücksichtigen, um einen bakteriologisch einwandfreien Milchvertrieb zu ermöglichen. So darf z.B. die unter das Auslaßventil gestellte Verbraucherflasche für die Milchentnahme nicht mit dem Auslaßventil in Berührung kommen, um eine Übertragung von an der Verbraucherflaschebifindlichen Keimen auf das Abfüllsystem zu unterbinden. Es muß daher zwischen Ventil und Verbraucherflasche ein ausreichender Abstand verbleiben. Aus diesem Grund können die bekannten Auslaßventile, wie sie bei den automatischen Rotations-Flaschenfülleinrichtungen einqesetzt sind,nicht verwendet werden, da dort die Auslaßventile beim Füllen auf der Flaschenöffnung dichtend aufsitzen. Außerdem wird dort die beim Füllen auftretende Verdränqungsluft mit einer Pumpe abgesauqt.When dispensing loose fresh milk directly to the consumer, important regulations and ordinances must be taken into account in order to enable milk to be sold without bacteriological problems. For example, the consumer bottle for milk withdrawal placed under the outlet valve does not come into contact with the outlet valve to prevent transmission of germs found on the consumer bottle to the filling system. There must therefore be a sufficient distance between the valve and the consumer bottle. For this reason, the known outlet valves, such as those used in the automatic rotary bottle filling devices, cannot be used, since there the outlet valves sit sealingly on the bottle opening when filling. In addition, the displacement air that occurs during filling is suctioned off with a pump.

Bei der Verwendung normaler Auf-Zuventile als Auslaßventile, tritt jedoch bereits in der Absperrzone und nach dem Verlassen des Ventils eine derartig starke Schaumbildung auf, daß die Milch überläuft wodurch die Verbraucherflasche sowie der Abfüllstand verschmutzt wird. Außerdem erhalten die Flaschen zu wenig Füllung, d.h. nach Absenkung des Schaumes wird die vorgegebene Mindestmenge unterschritten. Sofern die abzugebende Frischmilch unter Druck steht, wird die Schaumbildunq beim verlassen des Ventils noch erheblich qesteigert.When using normal on-off valves as outlet valves, however, such a strong foam formation already occurs in the cut-off zone and after leaving the valve that the milk overflows, as a result of which the consumer bottle and the filling level are contaminated. In addition, the bottles are underfilled, i.e. after lowering the foam, the minimum quantity is undershot. If the fresh milk to be dispensed is under pressure, the foaming is significantly increased when leaving the valve.

Die Erfindung hat sich nun die Aufgabe qestellt, die Abgabe von loser Frischmilch unter Berücksichtigung bestehender Uorschriften schaumarm und schonend sowie bakteriologisch einwandfrei in die in die Verbraucherflasche abzufüllen. Ferner soll der Abfüllplatz durch Verhinderung des Überschäumens sauber gehalten und eine dichtere Abfüllfolge ermöglicht werden.The invention has now set itself the task of filling the dispensing of loose fresh milk into the consumer bottle with little foam and gently and bacteriologically, taking into account existing regulations. Furthermore, the filling station should be kept clean by preventing overfilling and a denser filling sequence should be made possible.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 zum Ausdruck kommenden Uerfahrensmerkmale sowie durch das zur Ausübung des Verfahrens vorgeschlagene Auslaßventil gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the method expressed in the characterizing part of patent claim 1 and by the outlet valve proposed for carrying out the method.

Der bei geöffnetem Ventil austretende zu einem Kegelmantel geformte Milchstrahl sorgt dafür, daß die Milch nicht im freien Fall auf den Flaschenboden bzw. den ansteiqenden Milchspiegel aufschlägt, was zur erhöhten Schaumbildunq führen würde, sondern daß sie sich als Milchkegel ringsum gegen die Flaschenwandung anlegt und an die- ser herunterrinnt, wobei jegliche Schaumbildunq unterbleibt. Um auch eine Schaumbildung durch Zerstörung des Milchkegels von der ausströmenden aus der Verbraucherflasche verdrängten Luft zu unterbinden, ist entweder der Milchkegel durch einen oder mehreren Entlüftungsschlitzen unterbrochen durch welche die Luft frei abströmen kann oder aber das Auslaßventil weist entsprechende Entlüftunqsbohrungen auf.The exiting with open valve shaped into a cone milk beam ensures that the milk does not hit in free fall to the bottom of the bottle or the ansteiqenden milk level, w as would lead to increased Schaumbildunq, but that it around as milk cone to bear against the bottle wall and runs down to the bottom, preventing any foaming. In order to also prevent foam formation by destroying the milk cone from the outflowing air displaced from the consumer bottle, either the milk cone is interrupted by one or more ventilation slots through which the air can flow freely or the outlet valve has corresponding ventilation holes.

Zur Ausübung des Verfahrens wird ein Auslaßventil vorgeschlagen, dessen Sitzteil und Verschlußstück sich vom vom Ventilschaft zum Auslaß hin kegelförmiq erweitern, wobei der in der Offenstellung vorhandene Durchlaß zwischen Sitzteil und Verschlußstück zum Auslaß hin kontinuierlich enger wird derart, daß der Öffnungsquerschnitt über die gesamte Länge der Durchlaßöffnung annähernd gleich bleibt, so daß die Milch das Ventil mit gleichbleibender Geschwindigkeit passiert.To practice the method, an outlet valve is proposed, the seat part and closure piece of which expand conically from the valve stem to the outlet, the passage in the open position between the seat part and closure piece to the outlet becoming narrower such that the opening cross section over the entire length of the The passage opening remains approximately the same, so that the milk passes the valve at a constant speed.

Für die Ableitunq der aus der Verbraucherflasche verdrängten Luft kann entweder am Sitzteil oder am Verschlußstück eine in die kegelige Durchlaßöffnung hineinragende Nase vorgesehen sein, die im Milchkegel eine schlitzartige Entlüftungsöffnung hinterläßt. In der Praxis hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen-mindestens zwei Nasen vorzusehen,um eine ausreichende Entlüftung sicherzustellen. Als besonders vorteilhaft wird die Alternative angesehen, die darin besteht, daß das Verschlußstück mit Ventilschaft eine durchgehende, die Verdrängungsluft nach außen führende Bohrung aufweist.For the discharge of the air displaced from the consumer bottle, a nose protruding into the conical passage opening can be provided either on the seat part or on the closure piece, which nose leaves a slit-like ventilation opening in the milk cone. In practice, it has proven to be expedient to provide at least two lugs in order to ensure adequate ventilation. The alternative is considered to be particularly advantageous, which consists in the fact that the closure piece with valve stem has a continuous bore that leads the displacement air to the outside.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale sind in der folgenden Beschreibung in Verbindung mit der beilieqenden Zeichnunq zu ersehen.Further advantages and features can be seen in the following description in connection with the enclosed drawing.

In der Zeichnung sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele des zur Aus- übunq des Verfahrens bestimmten Auslaßventiles darqestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 ein Auslaßventil im Länosschnitt,
  • Fig. 2 das Auslaßventil nach Fig. 1 von unten gesehen
  • Fig. 3 eine weitere Ausführunosform des Auslaßventils und
  • Fio. 4 das Auslaßventil nach Fig. 3 von unten oesehen.
The drawing shows two exemplary embodiments of the outlet valve intended for carrying out the method. Show it:
  • 1 is an exhaust valve in the Länosschnitt,
  • Fig. 2 seen the exhaust valve of FIG. 1 from below
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the exhaust valve and
  • Fio. 4 oesehen the outlet valve of FIG. 3 from below.

Die Ausführunqsbeisoiele zeioen ein druckluftbetätigtes Auslaßventil bestehend aus einem Gehäuse 1 mit Sitzteil 2 und Verschlußstück 3 mit Ventilschaft 4, der auf der dem Verschlußstück geqenüberlieqenden Seite einen mit Druckluft beaufschlagten Pneumatikkolben 5 träqt. Das Ventil wird mit Druckluft geöffnet und durch die Rraft einer Feder 6 geschlossen. Mit 7 ist der Einlaß bezeichnet, über den die Frischmilch von einem Meßgefäß zuqeführt wird. Auf die Darstellung des Meßqefäßes und dem die Frischmilch liefernden Vorratsbehälter wurde aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit verzichtet.The versions show a compressed air operated exhaust valve consisting of a housing 1 with seat part 2 and closure piece 3 with valve stem 4, which on the side facing the closure piece räqt a pneumatic piston 5 t loaded with compressed air. The valve is opened with compressed air and closed by the force of a spring 6. 7 denotes the inlet through which the fresh milk is supplied from a measuring vessel. For the sake of clarity, the measuring container and the storage container supplying the fresh milk have been omitted.

Gemäß der Erfindung weist das Sitzteil 2 aine sich nach außen erweiternde Keoelfläche 8 auf, die mit der ebenfalls keqeligen Fläche 9 des Verschlußstückes 3 korrespondiert. Die keqeligen Flächen der Teile 2 und 3 dienen einzig und allein der Formgebunq des das Ventil durchströmenden Milchstromes. Zur Absperrunq und zum dichten Abschluß des Ventiles trägt das Verschlußstück einen in eine Nut einaelassenen O-Ring 10. Die kegeligen Flächen der Teile 2 und 3 kommen auch in der Schließstellunq nicht in Berühruno.According to the invention, the seat part 2 has an outwardly widening Keoelfläche 8, which corresponds to the also keqeligen surface 9 of the closure member 3. The wedge-shaped surfaces of parts 2 and 3 serve solely to shape the milk flow flowing through the valve. To shut off and seal the valve tightly, the closure piece carries an O-ring 10 embedded in a groove. The tapered surfaces of parts 2 and 3 also do not come into contact in the closed position.

Die Flächen 8 und 9 bilden in der Offenstellung des Ventils einen kegeligen Ausströmkanal 11, aus welchem die das Ventil durchströmende Milch als ein rinqsum geschlossener (Fig. 1) bzw. mit ein oder mehreren Durchlässen versehener (Fig. 2) Kegelmantel 12 herausfließt. Um ein homogenes gleichmäßiges Ausfließen der Milch zu er- reichen - was wesentlich zur Schaumunterdrückung beiträgt - ist der Ausströmkanal 11 in der Offenstellung des Ventils vom Uentilschaft 4 zum Auslaß hin kontinuierlich enger werdend ausgebildet und zwar derart, daß sich ein gleichbleibender Öffnungsquerschnitt ergibt.In the open position of the valve, the surfaces 8 and 9 form a conical outflow channel 11, from which the milk flowing through the valve flows out as a rinqsum closed (FIG. 1) or with one or more passages (FIG. 2) a conical jacket 12. In order to achieve a homogeneous, uniform outflow of the milk - which contributes significantly to the suppression of foam - the outflow channel 11 in the open position of the valve from the valve stem 4 to the outlet is designed to be continuously narrowing, in such a way that a constant opening cross section results.

Zur schaumarmen Übergabe der Milch an die Verbraucherflasche 13 legt sich der durch das Ventil gebildete Milchkegel 12 an die Innenwandung der Flasche 13 an und rinnt an dieser herab, bis die volle im Meßgefäß dosierte Milchmenge in die Flasche gelaufen ist. Um zu verhindern, daß die beim Füllen der Flasche verdrängte Luft beim Ausströmen den Milchkegel zerstört. was ebenfalls zu einer Schaumbildunq führen würde. ist nach dem Ausführunqsbeispiel der Fiq. 1 und 2 das Verschlußstück 3 zusammen mit dem Ventilschaft 4 mit einer Entlüftungsbahrung 14 versehen, die auf der dem Verschlußstück abgekehrten Seite ins Freie mündet. Der Boden 15 des Uerschlußstückes 3 ist zur besseren Luftführung trichterförmig nach innen gewölbt. Der Pfeil 16 deutet die Richtung an in welcher die Luft abströmt.For low-foam transfer of the milk to the consumer bottle 13, the milk cone 12 formed by the valve rests against the inner wall of the bottle 13 and runs down on it until the full amount of milk metered into the measuring vessel has run into the bottle. To prevent the air displaced when filling the bottle from destroying the milk cone when it flows out. which would also lead to foaming. is the Fiq. 1 and 2 provide the closure piece 3 together with the valve stem 4 with a venting liner 14 which is on the closure piece facing away opens into the open. The bottom 15 of the closure piece 3 is curved in a funnel shape for better air guidance. The arrow 16 indicates the direction in which the air flows out.

Nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 und 4 wird für die Abführung der Luft der Milchkegel 12 durch eine schlitzartige Auslaßöffnunq 17 unterbrochen, durch welche die verdrängte Luft ohne den Milchkegel zu zerstören ungehindert nach außen strömen kann. In der Praxis hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, den Milchkegel 12 durch zwei bzw. drei Auslaßschlitze zu unterbrechen. Die Auslaßschlitze 17 werden durch an der Kegelfläche 8 des Sitzteiles 2 vorgesehene Nasen 18 herbeigeführt, die in den Ausströmkanal 11 hineinragen. Die Nasen 18 können selbstverständlich auch am Verschlußstück 3 vorgesehen sein.According to the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the milk cone 12 is interrupted by a slot-like outlet opening 17 through which the displaced air can flow freely without destroying the milk cone. In practice, it has proven expedient to interrupt the milk cone 12 with two or three outlet slots. The outlet slots 17 are brought about by lugs 18 provided on the conical surface 8 of the seat part 2 and projecting into the outflow channel 11. The lugs 18 can of course also be provided on the closure piece 3.
