    [0001] The present invention relates to a method of filling beverages with a container, in particular by its bottom. The method is based on the combination of a feed device, whose injection nozzle has a configuration and a particular geometrical shape, and a specific design of the container, the assembly providing significant improvements over container filling systems at the bottom. The device thus designed, from a geometric and hydrodynamic approach, simultaneously makes it possible to limit the formation of a prohibitive foam cap on the surface of the gaseous liquid in the container, to avoid an increase in the temperature of the beverage 15 during filling. , to guarantee a better conservation of the drink, to obtain a repetitive filling process and to optimize the manipulation of the container while ensuring the safety of the operator. STATE OF THE ART There are indeed devices based on the principle of filling a container, such as a glass or cup, by injecting the drink by the very bottom thereof, but they do not ultimately solve simultaneously and integrally. all the difficulties that are encountered when it is desired to fill a container of drink by its bottom, repeatedly, without pouring drops, without producing a prohibitive foam cap on the surface of soft drinks while ensuring the better security for the operator. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention overcomes these disadvantages. It provides a solution for significantly minimizing the formation of foam cap on the surface of soft drinks when filling the container, or cup or other type of container by the bottom. It relates to the combination of a liquid injection nozzle of the filling device, which is introduced through a self-sealing member, or non-return valve, integrated into the wall of the bottom of the cup, characterized by a This is because of its specific geometry and also because of the container itself, whose anti-return valve is ideally positioned in order to meet the fundamental principles of hydrodynamics favoring laminar flows. Indeed, it is well known that the production of a turbulent flow automatically generates a large emulsion of gas bubbles and therefore generates a large amount of foam for example in the case of beer. Conversely, the production of a laminar jet, whose current lines follow the wall of the container as tangentially as possible, leads to a very significant improvement in the result. A laminar flow also has the advantage of being repeatable and predictable, which will result in fills of containers in invariable and reproducible conditions. In summary, the invention described relates to: The device for filling a beverage container, through one of its walls, in particular by its bottom, comprising a solenoid valve and a presence sensor, whose nozzle is filling is intended to be introduced through a self-sealing member disposed in one of the walls of the container, the filling nozzle having an internal conduit and an injection mouth inclined at an angle cc between +30 and -30 ° preferably inclined from -5 to -30 ° degrees to direct the jet of the drink downwards in tangency with the interior of the bottom of the container. The filling device whose filling nozzle, an outer shape preferably cylindrical with a hemispherical or ogival head, comprises an internal conduit of variable section. The filling device in which a filling nozzle, whose axis 5 is preferably eccentric from the center of the bottom of the container and whose orientation of the outlet of the injection port follows an angle 0, preferably greater than 60 ° with respect to the X axis in a plane comprising the vertical axis of the container and the axis of the center of the filling nozzle, directs the jet of the beverage leaving the filling nozzle along a tangent path with the inside the side wall.
    [0002] The filling device, the filling nozzle or a part of the filling device frame, has a shoulder which stops the introduction path of the container and thus creates a bearing surface positioning the injection port at a fixed distance by relative to the bottom of the container during filling. The filling device whose sensor, by its outer shape, accurately guides the outer wall of the container during the introduction of the nozzle and is able to detect the presence of the container. The filling device including a holding tank is intended to recover the drink when the solenoid valve releases the drink in the absence of the container. The container adapted to cooperate with the device whose self-sealing member is fixed to the bottom of the container by a sealing ring, which can be positioned either inside or outside the container, according to a mechanical assembly, chemical or assembly by welding to the container. The container adapted to cooperate with the device whose self-sealing member is fixed or embedded within the thickness of the material of the bottom of the container, with or without the presence of the sealing ring. The container adapted to cooperate with the device whose self-sealing member is positioned on a different wall of the container bottom. A device, fixed or mobile, which comprises at least two devices and which is intended to accommodate containers.
    [0003] DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 shows a view of the entire beverage filling device, equipped with a nozzle, and any container or cup herein called containing, positioned during filling. Figure 2 shows a view of the entire beverage filling device, equipped with a nozzle and this container, before or after filling. Figure 3 shows a top view in section A.A according to Figure 1, showing the relative geometric positioning of the nozzle in its container.
    [0004] FIG. 4 is a detail B of FIG. 2. FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the flow at the bottom of the beverage container during the filling phase. Figure 7 illustrates an example of the integration of two filling processes on the same device.
    [0005] The device of the invention which makes it possible to ensure the filling of the beverage, of a container by its bottom, comprises: - a solenoid valve (2) providing the supply of the beverage in the filling nozzle 20 - a nozzle (1) filling with a head (8) and a mouth (9) injection - a sensor (3) detecting the presence of the container - a container (4) drink consisting of a wall (12) ) and a bottom (11) - a sealing ring (6), arranged in the orifice (7) and fixed to the bottom (11) of the container (4) - a self-sealing member (5) which can be a flexible diaphragm or non-return valve or a rigid non-return valve, fixed between the sealing ring (6) and the bottom (11) of the container (4) - A shoulder (10) or base 3035100 5 D ' in a more detailed manner, we can see in Figures 1, 2, 3 the arrangement and constitution of the various elements: The filling device itself comprises a solenoid valve (2) 5 directly connected typically by piping to the arrival circuit (not shown) of drink. In its upper part, at its outlet orifice, is arranged the nozzle (1) filling and a sensor (3) presence. The container (4), comprises at its bottom (11), a ring (6) sealing crimped or fixed in its lower part, in the orifice (7) of the container, which can be indifferently installed inside or outside the wall. The sealing ring (6) is deliberately arranged closer to the wall of the container (2). Between this sealing ring (6) and the bottom (11) of the container (4) is fixed the self-sealing member (5).
    [0006] The filling nozzle (1) is of a preferably cylindrical shape with a hemispherical or ogival head (8) to facilitate its progressive penetration through the self-closing member (5) without damaging it. The self-sealing member (5) provides continuous contact with the outer shape of the nozzle (1) during the three introduction, filling and removal phases creating a permanent seal of the container (4). FIG. 4 clearly shows the shape of the outlet of the injection port (9), the internal part of which gradually curves downwards by a negative angle of between 5 and 15 °. The nozzle (1) for filling also comprises in its lower part, a shoulder (10) or base, creating a bearing surface for the ideal positioning height of the cup when it is filling phase.
    [0007] The relative position in height of the injection mouth (9) is optimized so that the direction of the jet of the beverage follows a gently sloping trajectory, tangent to the wall (12) and the bottom (11) of the container (FIG. 4).
    [0008] Figures 5 and 6 show the angular disposition in lateral orientation of the injection mouth (9), so that the direction of the jet of the drink follows a path tangent to the side wall (12). It thus understands the complementarity of the overall arrangement of the nozzle (1) in its container (4) allowing the current lines of the jet 5 under pressure coming out of the injection mouth (9) to follow a trajectory with a flow the most laminar possible avoiding any turbulence emitting gaseous emulsions. The geometric shapes of the container (4) and the nozzle (1) are thus two indissociable elements characteristic of the present invention.
    [0009] For a better understanding of the invention and its advantages, the phases of the process are recalled for filling the container (4) with its bottom (11) with the filling nozzle device (1) and the containing (4) associated. By a manual movement from top to bottom of the container (4), the filling nozzle (1) is introduced through the self-sealing member (5) until it comes into contact with the shoulder (10) of the nozzle or any other support base provided for this purpose. In this filling position in abutment, the sensor (3) detects the presence of the container (4) in the filling position. It then gives the order to the solenoid valve (2) to open, allowing the passage of the pressurized drink in the container (4), the latter remaining sealed during its filling at the member (5) self-sealing which encloses the nozzle (1) on its outer surface. After a certain programmed filling time, the solenoid valve (2) closes, stopping the filling, and the container (4) can then be extracted from the nozzle (1) with a movement from bottom to top. The nozzle (1) is then no longer in contact with the self-closing member (5) and the latter naturally occludes, thus retaining the beverage in the container (4). When the user wishes not to extract the container (4) immediately after filling, the nozzle (1) remains always present inside the container (4) for as long as desired, the member (5) self-sealing performing a very good seal on the outer wall of the nozzle (1). This possibility thus allows the user to be available for other tasks before extracting the container (4) from the nozzle (1) and completing the service. Note that, the head of the nozzle (8) being positioned in the bottom of the container 5 (4), the unidirectional jet exiting the nozzle is always in contact with the drink already present in the container from the first tenths of a second. filling: thus the drink does not undergo heating with the ambient air as one observes during a conventional filling by the top of a glass or carafe. This, therefore, avoids a rise in the temperature within the liquid during filling, and further contributes to the limitation of foam formation of the beer sensitive to this parameter. It will also be noted that the mouth (9) for injecting the filling nozzle (1), which directs the jet of beverage to the bottom of the container, prevents any oxidation of the liquid with the ambient air, thus improving its preservation.
    [0010] In comparison with a filling of a glass made with the nozzle of a conventional printer whose position may be random, the present invention which ensures a positioning and orientation of the nozzle (1) accurate filling and always identical to to the container (4), provides constant repeatability and quality 20 filling. A safety benefit is also induced by this nozzle arrangement (1) which directs the jet of the beverage downward. Indeed, in case of inadvertent opening of the solenoid valve (2) can release a jet of drink, while the container (4) would not 25 in the filling position, the liquid would be easily captured by gravity by a tray of retention (not shown). In another particular embodiment of the invention, it is quite possible to duplicate the number of filling devices so that the operator can fill several containers at the same time.
