Description

The invention relates to a washing basket for receiving a plurality of containers, in particular bottles, for cleaning the containers, with a basic structure having a plurality of places for placing one container per place, and with a locking element for holding the containers in the places, said Locking element for inserting and / or removing the container from the basic structure of the basic structure is solvable. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of such a rinse basket for cleaning a plurality of containers in a cleaning device, in particular bottles for soaking laboratory animals in the rinse basket can be arranged.

Such a washing basket is in the introductory description of DE 20 2012 010 187 U1 described. After that, a locking element, in particular a grate and / or grid, is separated from a basket-like basic structure for inserting containers into the basic structure or for removing the containers from the basic structure from the basic structure. This is considered disadvantageous due to the loss of time and the not always easy operability. Therefore, said document proposes a specially designed locking element which is movable relative to the basic structure between a first position for inserting and removing the containers and a second position for holding the containers, whereby the grid is still held to the basic structure is. As a result, for example, an automated loading and / or removal of the container to be made possible.

However, costly and expensive automation is either not possible or undesirable in many cases. There is therefore a need, in particular manually, easy-to-use dishwashing racks, in which the locking element for inserting and / or removing the container from the basic structure of the basic structure is solvable.

Furthermore, containers with different heights can be present or used. In this context, it may be disadvantageous if a separate wash basket or a respectively suitably designed locking element is to be selected for each container height. In the document mentioned above DE 20 2012 010 187 U1 In this context, it is disadvantageous that the locking element must already be set or arranged in the basic structure in the correct height for the respective container height prior to insertion of the containers. There is a risk that the locking element is set to the wrong height and a subsequent correction is necessary.

It is the object underlying the invention to further develop a wash basket of the type mentioned above such that the operability, in particular for arranging the locking element on the basic structure, is improved. In particular, an alternative embodiment of a rinse basket and / or a locking element is to be provided.

The object underlying the invention is achieved with a wash basket of the type mentioned, in which the locking element can be fastened in at least two different locking planes on the basic structure.

It is advantageous that on the one hand, the locking element for insertion and / or removal of the container from the basic structure of the basic structure is releasable and on the other hand, the locking element, in particular depending on the height of the container, in a respective locking plane to the basic structure can be fastened , Thus, the locking member can be locked in a locking plane of at least two or more different locking levels. Preferably, containers with different heights are inserted in the same basic structure and can be fixed with the same locking element. Thus, replacement of the rinse basket and / or the basic structure depending on the height of the respective container is avoidable. In particular, the locking element is not already to be attached to the basic structure before insertion of the container in a respective appropriate height. Instead, the locking element can be fixed after insertion of the container in the basic structure and in the predetermined by the height of the container locking plane.

Thus, by means of the arrangement of the locking element in a locking plane of several possible locking planes containers of different heights can be arranged in the same basic structure and / or be fixable with the same locking element. Here, a locking plane correspond to the plane of the locking element, in which the locking element is attached to the basic structure for holding the containers in their places. In particular, the locking planes and / or the locking element are aligned parallel to a bottom of the basic structure. Preferably, the basic structure and the locking element for receiving and holding containers are formed in each case with the same height. Thus, the washing basket can only be equipped with containers of the same height. A simultaneous placement of the rinse basket with containers of different heights is not provided. However, since different locking planes are provided for the locking element, the washing basket or the basic structure can be optionally equipped with containers of a first height or with containers of at least one further height corresponding to the number of locking levels. Preferably, the locking level for the locking element is automatically specified due to the height of the container used. As a result, a fastening of the locking element is simplified in the correct locking plane. In particular, containers of the same height are first inserted into the basic structure. Due to the same height of the container used at the same time the height of the correct locking level is given. In particular, the height of the containers determines the lowest locking plane in which the locking element can be fastened to the basic structure. Preferably, this lowest arresting level is at the same time the correct locking plane respectively for fixing the containers.

Preferably, the containers are bottles of a type used for the troughs of laboratory animals. The containers or bottles can be used in conjunction with cages provided for the laboratory animals. In particular, in research laboratories in which scientific experiments with laboratory animals, such as rodents, are performed, appropriate, in particular made of a plastic material, containers or bottles are used for the drinking of laboratory animals. In particular, the containers or bottles are regularly replaced and / or cleaned. The cleaning or washing of the container is usually carried out in a cleaning device and / or a washer, which process a plurality of containers at the same time and thus minimize the time required for cleaning and at the same time can ensure adequate hygiene. For this purpose, the containers or bottles can be used in a specially provided wash basket, which can then be supplied to the cleaning device or washer or used in this. To clean the interior of the containers or bottles, openings of the containers or bottles can be juxtaposed with washing nozzles of the cleaning device and / or washing system. In this case, the washing nozzles can be adjusted so that a water jet is directed from bottom to top. Therefore, it may be necessary for the containers or bottles to be arranged such that their openings face downwards, so that the containers can not fill with liquid and this can flow out of the containers on the basis of the force of gravity. In particular, the locking element serves to hold the containers in their respective places of the basic structure. Thus, by means of the locking element falling out of the container from the basic structure, in particular during a cleaning process can be avoided.

An operator can use a container for each space of the basic structure. If all seats are occupied or no further containers are to be used, the locking element can be attached to the basic structure. As a result, the containers are reliably held in their places. Depending on the configuration of the basic structure, containers with the same container height can be used. In particular, a container neck or bottleneck of each container protrudes through an opening of the locking element. Here, the openings of the locking element may be formed such that a container body or bottle body does not fit through the opening of the locking element. Thus, the locking member for holding the container in place in the basic structure in a region, in particular a transition region, between a container neck and a container body. In particular, the container body or the bottle body has a larger diameter than the container neck or bottleneck.

After completion of the cleaning, the operator can completely release the locking element from the basic structure and remove the containers from the places.

According to a further embodiment, a holding device for fastening the locking element is provided in each case in a locking plane. Thus, the locking element can be fixed by means of the holding device in the respectively suitable locking plane to the basic structure. Preferably, the holding device is designed such that the locking element can be connected without tools to the basic structure and / or can be detached from the basic structure. In particular, the holding device for producing a positive connection, a frictional connection, a latching connection and / or a plug connection between the locking element and the basic structure is formed. Such compounds can be prepared and dissolved by an operator in a simple and fast way.

According to a development, the locking element has a first holding element and at least one further holding element for connecting to the basic structure. In particular, the holding device has a first holding element and a second holding element. The first holding element and the further holding element can be designed for producing a positive connection, a frictional connection, a latching connection and / or a plug connection. In particular, the first holding element and the further holding element are arranged on two opposite sides of the locking element. Preferably, the holding elements are attached to transverse sides of the locking element. Here, the transverse sides of the locking element may have a shorter length than two longitudinal sides of the locking element. The locking element, the first holding element and the further holding element may be made of the same material.

The basic structure preferably has retaining elements for each locking plane. Preferably, the counter-holding elements serve to hold and / or attach the locking element to the basic structure. In particular, the holding device has at least two counter-holding elements. The counter-holding elements can be arranged on two mutually remote sides of the basic structure. In particular, the counter-holding elements are attached to opposite transverse sides of the basic structure. Preferably, the counter-holding elements are designed to cooperate with the retaining elements of the locking element corresponding. Thus, the counter-holding elements for producing a positive connection, a non-positive connection, a latching connection and / or a plug connection may be formed. The holding device, the first holding element, the further holding element and / or the counter-holding elements can be completely or at least partially elastic. Due to an at least partially elastic design, the production of the connection of the locking element with the basic structure or the release of the locking element from the basic structure can be simplified.

According to a further embodiment, the basic structure for stacking at least two basic structures is formed one above the other. As a result, the storage options of several basic structures are improved. The basic structure is preferably designed in such a way that a plurality of basic structures can be stacked on one another with locking elements arranged therein in a locking plane. In particular, the basic structure has a bottom, two longitudinal sides and two transverse sides. The two longitudinal sides and the two transverse sides can each be aligned parallel to one another. The long sides can be arranged at right angles to the transverse sides. Furthermore, the longitudinal sides and the transverse sides can be aligned at right angles to the bottom of the basic structure. The basic structure may be substantially basket-shaped.

Preferably, the basic structure has at least one or more positioning elements arranged parallel to the floor. The positioning element serves to provide places for the containers. In particular, the at least one positioning element is arranged between the bottom and a lowermost locking plane. In particular, the positioning element has a plurality of adjusting openings for adjusting the containers. In this case, in each case a setting opening for receiving a single container is formed. A minimum inner diameter of the adjusting opening may substantially correspond to a maximum outer diameter of the container or be only a few millimeters larger. Preferably, the basic structure, the bottom, the at least one positioning element, the longitudinal sides and / or the transverse sides are formed like a lattice. This ensures good accessibility during cleaning. The basic structure may have a substantially octagonal and / or cuboid basic shape.

The locking element may have a substantially quadrangular, square and / or rectangular basic shape. In particular, the locking element is formed like a grid. In a grid-like basic structure and / or in a grid-like locking element is advantageous that the weight and the material to be used in the production can be reduced. With regard to the reduced weight, this leads to improved operability. The material savings can also lead to lower production costs. In addition, the surface of the rinse basket can be reduced. As a result, the risk of contamination of the rinse basket and its components can be reduced and / or the cleaning of the container can be improved in such a lattice-like washing basket. The grid-like structure can form several openings. In particular, in the case of the locking element, a locking opening is used in each case for receiving and / or holding a container arranged in a place of the basic structure. The grid structure of the locking element and / or the basic structure may be honeycomb-shaped. In particular, the locking openings of the locking element for fixing the container to the basic structure are honeycomb-shaped.

According to a development, the locking element and / or the basic structure of a wire-like and / or rod-like material, in particular a metal, a metal wire or stainless steel wire is formed. By means of such a material, a sufficient stability can be realized even with a low material usage. Preferably, the wire-like and / or rod-like material is processed and / or bent to avoid dead spaces. Due to the use of wire-like and / or rod-like material, dead spaces, which could possibly be contaminated more easily, can be considerably reduced or even completely avoided. As a result, a good cleaning or sufficient hygiene in the use of the rinse basket in a cleaning device and / or car wash can be achieved.

Of particular advantage is the use of a rinse basket according to the invention for cleaning a plurality of containers in a cleaning device and / or washer. In particular, the containers are designed as bottles for soaking laboratory animals. Preferably, the washing basket, the basic structure and / or the locking element has no movable parts. As a result, the risk of damage is significantly reduced. Due to the Without a moving mechanism, the stability can be significantly improved.
