Device for filling container with carbonated liquid using pressure control
The granted patent (Publication Number: US12012324B2) describes a device for filling a container with a carbonated liquid. The device consists of an upper part and a lower part with a container port for securing the container. The lower part can be displaced between a closed position and a venting position, with the container triggering the movement based on whether it is secured or released from the port. This mechanism allows for the reduction of high pressure in the container before it is released from the device.
Furthermore, the device includes a vent duct that is closed in the closed position and open in the venting position. A seal in the upper part releases the vent duct when the lower part moves into the venting position. Additionally, the vent duct is connected to a connection duct in the upper part when in the venting position. The device also features a spring element supported by the upper part, which aids in releasing the vent duct when the lower part moves into the venting position. Overall, the device's design ensures the controlled filling of containers with carbonated liquids while managing pressure effectively.
