Abstract
A liquid filling apparatus that fills a filled object with a liquid, the liquid filling apparatus includes: a liquid supply portion; a nozzle that includes a supply port and a sealing surface; a driving rod arranged inside a liquid supply channel so as to be freely movable in a vertical direction; and a sealing member fixed to the driving rod, wherein a gap is provided between a support surface of the driving rod and a facing surface of the sealing member.
Claims2
A liquid filling apparatus that fills a filled object with a liquid, the liquid filling apparatus comprising:
- a liquid supply portion configured to supply the liquid into a liquid supply channel;
- a nozzle that includes a supply port connected to the liquid supply channel and a sealing surface provided on an upstream side of the supply port;
- a driving rod that includes a support surface facing the nozzle and an engaged portion provided on the support surface and that is arranged inside the liquid supply channel so as to be freely movable in a vertical direction;
- and
- a synthetic resin sealing member that includes an abutting surface facing the sealing surface, a facing surface facing the support surface, and an engaging portion provided on the facing surface and that is configured to move along with the driving rod between a closed position, in which the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion and is fixed to the driving rod, and the abutting surface abuts the sealing surface to thereby close the supply port, and an open position, in which the abutting surface moves away from the sealing surface to thereby open the supply port, wherein
- a gap is provided between the support surface and the facing surface,
- the engaging portion comprises a male thread portion protruding from the facing surface,
- the engaged portion comprises a threaded hole, and
- a dimension in an axial direction of the engaging portion is set to be larger than a dimension in the axial dimension of the engaged portion.
