A rectifying unit 22 that rectifies the flow of the liquid in the nozzle 10 is provided in the middle part. In the present embodiment, an alignment ring 30 is provided on the upstream side of the rectifying unit 22 as an alignment unit that is in sliding contact with the inner periphery of the nozzle 10 to center the valve body 21 and the valve hole 11. A flow rate adjusting unit 40 and a driving plunger unit 50 are provided on the upstream side of the alignment ring 30 via a connecting shaft portion 23.

The valve body 20 is divided into a valve upper structure 20A provided with the flow rate adjusting unit 40 and the driving plunger unit 50, and a valve lower structure 20B provided with an alignment ring 30, a rectifying unit 22 and a valve body 21. The valve upper structure 20A and the valve lower structure 20B are coupled via a separable joint portion 20C.
The joint portion 20C includes a T groove 20C1 and a T-shaped convex portion 20C2 that engages with the T groove 20C1, and is configured to be attached and detached in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction.

  On the other hand, the nozzle 10 is made of a metal such as stainless steel and has a divided configuration in order to facilitate disassembly of the parts. That is, an upper nozzle 10A into which the valve upper structure 20A of the valve body 20 is inserted, a cylinder 10B connected to the lower end of the upper nozzle 10A, and a tip cover 10C connected to the lower end of the cylinder 10B are provided. A valve hole 11 is formed in the tip cover 10C. The cylinder 10B is preferably structured to be detachable with a sanitary clamp joint or the like.

The upper nozzle 10A is a thick-walled cylindrical member, and includes a large-diameter hole 10A1 into which the driving plunger 50 is inserted, a constricted part 10A2 constricted from the downstream end of the large-diameter hole 10A1, and a constricted part 10A2. It has a small-diameter hole 10A3 that continues downward, and a tapered hole 10A4 that gradually increases in diameter downward from the small-diameter hole 10A3.
The cylinder 10B is a thin cylindrical member, and a passage 10B1 having a constant hole diameter is formed therein.
The tip cover 10C has a cylindrical portion 10C1 and a tapered portion 10C2 that inclines so as to gradually protrude downward from the lower end of the cylindrical portion 10C1, and the valve hole 11 at the tip of the tapered portion 10C2 opens. ing.

The driving plunger portion 50 provided in the upper structure 20A of the valve body 20 is provided with a communication passage 51 that communicates the upstream side and the downstream side, and the filling liquid flows from the upstream side to the downstream side through the communication passage 51. It has become. A sliding member 60 is mounted on the outer periphery of the driving plunger 50 to guide the driving plunger 50 so that it can reciprocate without rattling to the inner periphery of the large-diameter hole 10A1.
The driving plunger 50 is provided with an internal magnet 52, and an outer magnet 53 for magnetically attracting the internal magnet 52 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper nozzle 10A of the nozzle. By moving the external magnet 53 up and down, the driving magnet 50 is driven. The plunger 50 is configured to move up and down. In addition, as long as one of the inner magnet 52 and the outer magnet 53 is a magnet, the other may be a magnetic body that sticks to a magnet such as iron. However, the driving means is not limited to such a magnet system, and various systems can be applied.

Further, the flow rate adjusting unit 40 of the valve main body 20 is provided with a tapered portion 41 that is inclined so as to be gradually reduced in diameter toward the downstream side, and the throttle portion 10A2 in the nozzle 10 by an axial stroke of the valve main body 20. And the gap between them is adjusted. A portion below the taper portion 41 is further reduced in a taper shape, and is connected to the joint portion 20 </ b> C through a small-diameter connecting shaft portion 23.
On the other hand, the valve lower structure 20 </ b> B of the valve body 20 has a body shaft portion 20 </ b> B <b> 1 that extends linearly with a diameter larger than that of the connecting shaft portion 23 and smaller than that of the driving plunger portion 50. In the present embodiment, the alignment ring 30 is provided near the upstream end portion of the main body shaft portion 20B1. Since the rectifying unit 22 described later is provided on the downstream side, and the alignment ring 30 is not provided on the downstream side, the liquid is rectified by the rectifying unit 22 even if the flow of the liquid is somewhat disturbed by the alignment ring. 11 is discharged.

The alignment ring 30 is made of resin, preferably a fluororesin such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and an annular ring body 31 with a part cut in the circumferential direction, and radially outward from the outer periphery of the ring body 31 And a plurality of alignment blades 32 extending radially toward the center. The ring body 31 has an upstream edge of the centering blade 32 that is inclined from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the radial direction from the root portion, and a downstream edge that extends radially from the root portion. It has an inclined side that inclines from the downstream side toward the upstream side toward the outside, and the shape of the alignment blade 32 seen from the side is a trapezoidal shape, and the linear portion parallel to the central axis of the cylinder 10B is the cylinder 10B. It comes in sliding contact with the inner wall.
The number of the alignment blades 32 is six in the illustrated example, but the number is not limited, and as shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, the body shaft portion 20B1 of the valve body 20 is provided with a mounting groove (see the mounting groove 20B2 in FIG. 3) in which the ring main body 31 of the alignment ring 30 is mounted. Is used for axial positioning. The alignment ring 30 is not particularly positioned in the circumferential direction but is rotatable, and is merely clamped and fixed by the elastic force of the alignment ring 30 itself. The arrangement of the alignment blades 32 in the circumferential direction is as follows. It is not limited. For example, as described later, the rectifying blade 221 and the position or phase may be fixedly arranged.
The length of the alignment ring 30 is shorter than that of the rectifying unit 22, and in this example, is about half of the inner diameter of the cylinder unit 10B.

  Next, the rectifying unit 22 is rectified from the main body shaft portion 20B1 so that the rectifying unit 22 can be suitably used for beverages containing solids such as powder, pulp, fiber, and pulp, and relatively large particles. The blades 221 may be attached to the main body shaft portion 20B1 by welding with a configuration in which a plurality of blades 221 protrude radially. In this example, the blades 221 are molded integrally with the main body shaft portion 20B1. The rectifying blade 221 also has an upstream edge on an inclined side that is inclined radially outward from the root portion toward the outside in the radial direction, and a downstream edge that is directed radially outward from the root portion. The slope is inclined from the downstream side to the upstream side, and the linear portion faces the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 10B via a minute gap. It has a shape.

The diameter of the imaginary circle passing through the straight line portion that is the maximum diameter of the rectifying blade 221 is a diameter that does not contact the inner wall of the cylinder 10B, and the gap with the inner periphery of the cylinder 10B is set to about 0.5 mm. However, the size of the gap is arbitrary. Although the number of the rectifying blades 221 is four, it is preferable that the rectifying blades 221 be arranged at least three or more evenly in the circumferential direction, and three or more (6 in the illustrated example) as shown in FIG. Further, the main body shaft portion 20B1 where the rectifying portion 22 is provided may have a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1 (E) or a polygonal column shape as shown in FIG. 1 (F).
The flow straightening blade 221 has a thickness at least at the lower end (the downstream end of the flow straightening plate 221, and the downstream inclined side in this embodiment) with a tapered shape or the like, so that flow disturbance can be prevented. preferable. It is more preferable that the upper end portion is also thin and sharp. Moreover, since it is possible to prevent turbulent flow at the upper end portion or the lower end portion when the entire rectifying blade 221 is thin, it is more preferable in terms of the rectifying action. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1E and 1F, the rectifying effect is enhanced even if the rectifying blade on the side (near the center) near the main body shaft portion 20B1 is thinned at the center.
The position or phase in the circumferential direction of the rectifying blade 221 and the alignment blade 32 is not particularly matched, but may be matched.
In this embodiment, the length of the rectifying unit 22 is located approximately at the center in the length direction of the cylinder 10B, and is set to about one third of the length of the cylinder 10B. Between the rectification unit 22 and the alignment unit 30 is a linear portion 24 that extends linearly only with the main body shaft portion 20B1 without the rectification blade 221. Between the cylinder 10 </ b> B and the cylindrical straight portion 24, a tubular annular flow path extending linearly is configured.

However, the length of the rectifying unit 22 is selected according to the type and flow rate of the filling liquid. For example, as shown in FIG. It may be extended to the nearest 21 part.
The valve body 21 has a conical shape, and a tapered portion 21 a located at the base of the valve body 21 is seated on a tapered seat surface portion 22 a located at the hole edge of the valve hole 11.

Next, the operation of the filling valve 1 having the above configuration will be described.
When opening the valve, when the external magnet 53 arranged outside the nozzle 20 is moved upward, the internal magnet 52 provided on the driving plunger 50 inside the nozzle 10 is moved upward by the magnetic attractive force with the external magnet 53. As a result, the entire valve body 20 moves upward, the valve body 21 is separated from the tapered seat surface portion 22a, the valve hole 11 is opened, and the filling liquid staying inside flows out from the valve hole 11. The flow rate adjusting unit 40 determines the amount of movement with respect to the throttle unit 10A2 according to the movement amount of the external magnet 53, and the flow rate is adjusted according to the opening area with the throttle unit 10A2.

  The liquid that has passed through the flow rate adjusting unit 40 passes between the alignment blades 31 of the alignment unit 30 and passes between the rectification blades 221 of the rectification unit 22. Then, the flow is rectified only to the flow in the central axis direction of the nozzle 10 and flows out from the valve hole 11. Even if the rectifying blade 221 is not in contact with the inner periphery of the nozzle 10, the flow velocity of the liquid is larger in the central portion than in the peripheral portion, so that the flow component in the rotation direction of the liquid is sufficiently regulated by the rectifying blade 221. There is no effect.

  The distance between the valve element 21 in the valve-opened state and the valve hole 11 is uniformly maintained in the circumferential direction by the aligning blade 32 of the aligning portion 30, and the rectified liquid flow flows down in the vertical direction without unevenness. Looking at the entire valve body 20, the upper structure portion 20 </ b> A is also centered with respect to the inner periphery of the nozzle 10 by the sliding member 60 of the driving plunger 50, and the valve lower structure 20 </ b> B is aligned with the nozzle 10 by the alignment blade 32. It will be centered.

Next, when closing the valve, the external magnet 53 is moved downward.
When the external magnet 53 is moved downward, the internal magnet 52 provided on the driving plunger 50 inside the nozzle 10 is attracted downward by the magnetic attractive force with the external magnet 53, and the entire valve body 20 moves downward. The valve body 21 is seated on the tapered seat surface portion 22a and the valve hole 11 is closed. At this time, the flow rate adjusting unit 40 does not contact the throttle unit 10A2, and the flow rate adjusting unit 40 is not completely closed. Even when the rectifying blade 221 is not in contact with the cylinder 10B when the valve is closed, the valve body 21 of the valve main body 20 is centered with respect to the valve hole 11 by the aligning portion 30. The valve can be closed reliably, and dripping is prevented.

As described above, when the valve is opened and closed, the valve body 20 moves up and down, but the valve body 20 is centered by the aligning portion 30 without bringing the rectifying blade 221 into contact with the inner periphery of the nozzle 10. Therefore, the rectifying blades 221 of the rectifying unit 22 do not contact the inner periphery of the nozzle 10 (cylinder 10B), and damage is prevented.
Furthermore, when the time for periodic replacement of the alignment unit 30 comes, only the alignment ring 30 can be replaced. For replacement of the alignment ring 30, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the cylinder 10B of the nozzle 10 is removed. When the cylinder 10B is removed, the alignment ring 30 is exposed. Therefore, the alignment ring 30 is removed by elastic deformation so that the cut portion 33 of the ring body 31 of the alignment ring 30 is opened, and a new alignment ring 30 is attached. .

  Further, since the joint portion 20C of the valve body 20 is configured by the T-shaped convex portion 20C1 and the T-shaped groove 20C2, it can be easily removed by sliding in the lateral direction. Therefore, the replacement work of the alignment ring 30 can be performed by removing the valve lower structure 20B. Thus, in the present invention, it is only necessary to replace the alignment ring 30, maintenance is easy, and cost is reduced. Furthermore, since the structure is simple, sterilization, sterilization, and cleaning treatment can be easily performed, and it can be suitably used for aseptic filling.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the following description, only differences from the above embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.
In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the alignment unit 30 is disposed on the downstream side of the rectification unit 22, that is, between the rectification unit 22 and the valve body 21. In the illustrated example, a straight linear portion 24 is provided between the rectifying portion 30 and the valve body 21, and the length of the rectifying portion 22 is extended to the vicinity of the joint portion 20 </ b> C of the lower structure portion 20 </ b> B of the valve body 20. It has become. However, in this arrangement configuration, the straightening portion 22 may be provided to extend linearly between the upper end of the straightening portion 22 and the joint portion 20C without lengthening the straightening portion 22.

In the example shown in FIG. 4B, alignment rings 30.30 are arranged on both the upstream side and the downstream side of the rectifying unit 22. That is, the downstream alignment ring 30 is provided at a position close to the valve body 21. By arranging in this way, the centering of the nozzle 10 (cylinder 10B) of the valve lower structure 20B and the reciprocating sliding guide can be performed more reliably. Further, since the load applied to one alignment ring 30 is reduced, the alignment blade 32 can be made thinner and closer to the thickness that prevents turbulence as described above in the description of the rectifying blade 221.
In the above-described embodiment, the alignment ring 30 (alignment portion) having the radial alignment blades 32 as the alignment portion has been described as an example. Or what is necessary is just to slidably contact the valve | bulb outer periphery and to perform centering.

The alignment ring 302 shown in B) includes an outer diameter ring 302a mounted on the inner periphery of the cylinder 10A, and three or more alignment blades 302c extending radially inward from the outer diameter ring 302a. In this example, the inner end of 302c is slidably in contact with the outer periphery of the valve body 20.
In these cases, when the alignment ring 301 is used, the mounting groove 20B2 is provided in the main body shaft portion 20B1 of the valve 20 as shown in FIG. 3B, or the cylinder 10B (or the cylindrical portion 10C1 of the tip cover 10C). A mounting groove (not shown) is provided on the side, and the alignment ring 301 is mounted on the provided mounting groove for use. When the alignment ring 302 is used, a mounting groove (not shown) is provided on the cylinder 10B (or the cylindrical portion 10C1 of the tip cover 10C) instead of the mounting groove 20B2 in FIG. Is used in this mounting groove.
In addition, although not shown, various configurations such as a ring body made of a low friction material that fills an annular gap between the inner circumference of the cylinder and the outer circumference of the valve body and provided with a flow path that communicates the upstream side and the downstream side can be applied. is there.
In addition, the mounting / fixing of the alignment portion (alignment ring) is a reference example of the present invention, but the alignment ring 30 without a cut portion is inserted from one end of the shaft main body portion 20B1 of the valve 20 or the cylinder 10B. It can be set / inserted as possible, and can be fixed by a known fastening element such as a retaining ring 70 shown in the figure or a bolt (not shown). The alignment ring disposed on the downstream side of the rectifying unit 22 shown in FIG. 5C is an alignment ring 302 having an inward alignment blade 302a as shown in FIG. The structure fixed by 70 is shown. In the illustrated example, the axial width of the alignment ring 302 is smaller than the width of the upstream alignment ring 30.

In the above embodiment, the liquid to be filled flows from the upstream end of the nozzle. However, the liquid may flow from the side of the nozzle. Moreover, about the upper structure of a valve main body, there may not be a flow volume adjustment part and a plunger part, and it does not specifically limit about an upper structure.
Furthermore, as a rectifying effect, it is preferable to provide the rectifying blade 221 on the main body shaft portion 20B1 side of the valve 20 as described above, but if necessary, on the cylinder 10 side or on both sides of the main body shaft portion 20B1 and the cylinder 10 A rectifying blade may be provided. The rectifying unit 22 shown in FIG. 5C includes both an outward rectifying blade 221 on the main body shaft side 20B1 and an inward rectifying blade 221A on the cylinder 10 side. That is, the outer periphery of one rectifying blade 221 is provided in a non-contact state with the cylinder 10 </ b> B constituting the nozzle, and the other inward rectifying blade 221 </ b> A is provided in a non-contact state with respect to the valve 20. Although not shown, depending on the size of particles and solids contained in the beverage, a rectifying section having a large hole shape, a wide slit shape, or a lattice hole shape may be provided instead of the rectifying blade, or the particle In the case where the solid content is not included, a rectifying unit having a plurality of fine holes, fine slits, and fine lattice holes may be used.
