Cleaning and disinfection combination

The invention "relates to a cleaning process / or disinfection tion combination with at least one basin and fittings, through which the inflow of liquids can be adjusted, especially for those at risk of contamination

Establishments. In the food industry

and especially in meat processing plants and Slaughterhouses require that the tools and equipment used, as well as the hands of the persons handling these tools and equipment be cleaned and disinfected again and again in order to avoid contamination of the food. In particular

In slaughterhouse technology, it is important that the knives used and the hands of the user are often used in between must be cleaned, since it cannot be avoided that looseers and hands with unclean parts of the Animal bodies such as hooves, skins, intestines and intestinal contents come into contact. Will not be on the most embarrassing clean kitchens respected, then not only pollutants but also transmit germs which clean the shelf life of the meat to a fraction of the shelf life reduced meat held. This results in considerable losses. It is therefore desirable that the people working in such companies regularly use their tools and equipment and also their hands clean and disinfect. Constantly running v / poor and hot water, under which hands and tools for Cleaning could be kept causing high water consumption. There are therefore fittings provided, with the help of which the liquid supply can be opened and closed. However, it is now a common one Faucet provided, this faucet is handled with dirty hands to open it. IVach When cleaning, the faucet is touched again to close it * The hands are opened by the .the faucet from the previous opening Soiling again soiled. For this purpose, attempts have already been made to open and close To use solenoid valves which are operated by a light barrier relatively large effort for the! light barrier and that Solenoid valve and also, the "circumstance that electrical parts in the always humid atmosphere of such companies only have a very limited lifespan * In addition, they are

7046055is.ii.72

Light barriers often prone to failure. Attempts have also been made to use brackets provided in the ground To use solenoid valve actuation. However, switches arranged in the floor area tend to get dirty and clamp. In addition, such switches must be completely waterproof, as in these establishments often the entire room is hosed down with a sharp jet of water for cleaning. Finally is too Attempts have already been made to solve this problem of re-soiling of the hands by using the

/ ~} Elbow operated fittings were provided. It

is, however, not to be prevented with such fittings, that they are also touched by hand. Since the personnel working in such companies often have access to the need to comply with certain hygienic standards Minimum conditions are missing, on the other hand the one by the Elbow-operated operating lever for the hands is very easy to grip, is a re-soiling of hands with these fittings.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning - * and / or disinfection combination of those mentioned at the beginning

the lever held in the appropriate position with the knee will. If the lever is released, for example when the person leaves, it swivels under! Spring force back to its original position in which the valve is closed. This embodiment has the advantage that a waste of water is avoided, which could occur if the arrangement after leaving the the person operating it remains in the open position.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention is on the other hand, the knee control is not designed as a continuously adjustable actuator, but rather it is designed as a force-loaded snap-action mechanism, which is in the flow position of the associated valve - valve is in the vicinity of an unstable dead center position and in the closed position of the valve in a position removed from the unstable dead center position stands. Such knee operation is therefore advantageous because it has two defined positions and it is relatively easy to return it to the closed position, to move it to the open or flow-through position however, it requires a certain amount of force. So it cannot accidentally open the valve

In a preferred embodiment of the invention on the other hand, a self-closing valve is provided, the closing force of which is a force load for the Schiiappschaltwerk forms. One is preferably used here Spring arranged in the valve as a generator for the force load; however, it is also possible to use a valve without any spring and a snap switch mechanism without to provide any spring; the closing force in this case is due to that of the flowing liquid

Liche organ can be, for example, the valve plate, but it can also be a membrane or a piston or the like. A particularly simple embodiment results when a valve which closes in the direction of flow of the liquid is provided, on whose movable part the flowing liquid exerts a closing force which is transmitted to the snap-action mechanism via mechanical intermediate elements. These mechanical links are required anyway.

In the case of valves that are not opened and closed continuously, but that are "moved" in one go from the open to the closed and from the closed to the open position, when the yen tile is closed, a pressure spike becomes in deia produced connected Zulaufleitungs- systerj, which stems from the fact tHe the flowing liquid column be braked to a standstill mis .. r ~ \ In a preferred Ausführungsfonr. is therefore proposed

see that the valve has a slow locking closing characteristic having. By designing the valve seat and the movable valve part accordingly, it is possible to to avoid abrupt closing in spite of the snap-action mechanism. This prevents undesirable pressure peaks from occurring avoided in the feed pipe system.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least two knee controls for controlling are different Liquids provided. These different liquids are particularly common in meat processing Operated appropriately; One of the '* _-' liquids is cold or heated water and with

the other liquid is a disinfectant solution that kills germs through chemical action.

Is the cleaning and disinfection combination open mounted on a column foot, then the spray nozzle 28 can also be provided on the column. A particular advantage this version is that the person who wants to disinfect their boots, with a Hold your hand on the handle 27 and at the same time switch the valve with the operating bracket 25. Through this this person gets a relatively stable footing even if they only stand on one foot and the other foot is held with the boot in the area of the spray jet of the spray nozzle 28. In addition, it is more advantageous Release the other hand of the person concerned.

In larger companies, or if a series of cleaning and disinfection processes are to be carried out one after the other, a large combination as shown in FIG. 2 can be useful. In this arrangement, a large "basin 1", which has an elongated shape, is provided together with two additional basins 2 ¹ and 2 "adjoining the end faces. On the rear wall 3 'laterally offset fittings 30 are provided, which can be switched by rockers 11' housed on the front wall 12 'of the cladding. All fittings can deliver the same liquid. In this case, the combination can be used by several people at the same time. It is also possible to use any; of the fittings 30 to supply a different liquid or the same liquid at different temperatures. In this case, the various rockers 11 'are switched on and off again one after the other, depending on the sequence of the various operations. The rockers 11 'are expediently designed in such a way that when you move on to the next handling station, the since then

704605516.11.72

the rocker holding the valve open can be moved effortlessly into the closed position of the valve. If the work sequence is selected, for example, in such a way that the person operating the 7 / ribs in FIG 11 'arranged in such a way that, when the associated valve is closed, they execute a movement counter to the clockwise direction in plan view. It is thereby achieved that beiia Leaving to the next processing station, the rocker 11 'of the C before and continuous work station serves actually iiaiaer!

and the associated valve is closed, whereby unnecessary loss of liquid can be avoided.

The adequate knee operation includes a base plate 31, on which an L-shaped mounting bracket 32 is welded on; the stretched length of the L-five Bofestisungsv / änkels 32 is approximately equal to the length of the Base plate 31 · The mounting bracket 32 is with the Front side of a shorter leg etxvas outside the ! .litte of the base plate 31 so that the front end of the longer leg of the fastening bracket 32 in approximately the same plane as the front end of the base plate 31. The base plate and the fastening leg 32 form a U-shape Box that is open on one otix-n side and both side surfaces. In the shorter leg of the L-shaped A valve insert 33 is screwed into the mounting bracket 32. At the end remote from the fastening point there is the valve insert 33 with a coaxial inlet connection 34 · provided. In the liahe of the attachment point v / eiüt the valve insert 33 has an outlet at port 35,
