Abstract

The device includes rotating brushes placed on balanced arms and pressure spray nozzles. The container moves onto a horizontally tilted platform with a toothed edge, where it is clamped. The container with the platform is lifted to a vertical position, slightly inclined, by means of an L-shaped fork on which the platform is placed. In the raised working position, the container covers the brushes with the nozzles. The toothed edge of the platform comes into contact with the drive gear pinion, which rotates the platform with the container during washing. The brushes on the arms follow the surface to be washed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for washing containers and trolleys which allows the washing brushes to swing according to the shapes of the interior to be washed and the empty container to be emptied quickly.

Washing of containers and trolleys is often carried out by hand, i.e. by spraying with water while brushing. This method is ineffective and often harmful to health as detergents damage the skin. More recent spraying of water under considerable pressure does not guarantee quality washing, especially of containers with dried residues. By further increasing the pressure to increase the washing effect, energy requirements are disproportionately increased.

These drawbacks are overcome by the invention comprising rotating brushes and injection nozzles by placing a tilting fork, preferably letter-shaped, on it. L carrying a rotatable and toothed platform on its periphery. On this platform there is a clamping device for attaching the washed container or the trolley. By flipping the fork into the working position, the flushing brush and injection nozzle is flushed. In this position, the platform engages its pinion on the main drive shaft. Rotating brushes are located on balanced swinging two-arm levers. In the working position, the clamped container is inclined below the horizontal with its open end. The swivel platform is secured against rotation by a spring-loaded lock engaging the teeth. On the pinion slidably mounted on the drive shaft there is a pushing thumb for disengaging the fuse from the rotating platform in the working position.

The tilting fork allows the container or the trolley to be lifted to the working position where it is rotated. The washing is done by a combination of mechanical brushing and pressure spraying. By being mounted on the swinging two-arm levers, the rotating brushes come into perfect contact with the surface to be washed by actually following the shape of the article to be washed. The automatic drainage of the washing liquids is made possible by tilting the wash container downwards. The sliding fuse enables reliable automatic engagement for platform rotation in working position.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which, in partial section, FIG. 1 is a front view, FIG. 2 shows a side view of the device in FIG.

SUBJECT Apparatus for washing containers and trolleys with rotating brushes and spray nozzles, characterized in that it comprises a tilting fork (11), in particular L-shaped, carrying a rotatable and toothed rotatable platform (12) with a clamping device (21) which, in the operating washing position, with the receptacle (20) clamped onto the brushes 5, 6 on the two-arm levers 1,2 rotatable about pins 3, 4. At the other end of the two-arm levers is a balancing element, for example a driving electric motor 7, 8 that rotates the brush. Spray nozzles 9, 10 are provided in the region of the rotating brushes 5, 6. Above the rotating brushes 5, 6 there is a pinion 17 mounted slidingly and sprung on the drive shaft 18. A push-off thumb 19 is fastened to the pinion face 17. On the body there is a tilting fork 11 in the shape of a letter L. On the lower arm of the fork 11 is provided. The rotary platform 12 is secured against unwanted rotation by a sliding tooth lock 14 on the guide pin 15 with a compression spring 16. The container 20 to be rinsed out, respectively. The bulk carriage is firmly attached by the clamping device 21 to the pivoting platform 12, which is in a horizontal position. The rotating platform 12 is now secured against rotation by a toothed lock 14 which is pushed into the peripheral toothing of the rotating platform 12 by the push spring 16. By rotating the fork 11 around the main pin 22 the device is brought into working position. 6 so that it is inclined downwards towards its open edge. The toothed fuse 14 strikes the push thumb 19, which pushes it against the pressure of the push spring 16, thereby releasing the rotating platform 12 whose circumferential toothing engages the pinion 17. The pinion 17 on the drive shaft 18 begins to rotate and thereby rotates freely. The rotating brushes 5, 6 begin to rotate, and their pivoting suspension on the balanced, two-arm levers 1,2 allows them to follow the wash surfaces of the containers 20, respectively. bulk trucks. The spray nozzles 9, 10 spray the surface to be washed with the pressurized liquid, the liquid flowing out freely due to the inclined position of the container 20, respectively. of the truck. After washing, the fork 11 returns to its original position, the rotating platform 12 by its circumferential toothing disengages the pinion 17 and the released lock 14 again locks the rotating platform 12 against rotation. The device according to the invention can be used for washing containers and trolleys, particularly in the food industry, particularly preferably in the dairy and meat industries. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Rotating brushes (5, 6) and spray nozzles (9, 10), with their circumferential toothing engaged with a pinion (17) mounted on the main drive shaft (10), the rotating brushes (5, 6) being positioned on a balanced pivot. two-arm levers i (1,2). 2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that: L. The washed container (20) is inclined below the horizontal with its open end in the working wash zone. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the toothed rotating platform (12) is secured against wiping by a sliding suspension and toothed lock 3 _____ ___ 209090 kick (14) extending into the peripheral toothing of the rotating platform (12), sliding on the pinion (17). mounted on the drive shaft (18) is a push-in thumb (19) for pulling the fuse (14) out of engagement with the peripheral toothing of the rotating platform (12) in the working wash position.
