Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for cleaning used bulk textile containers or the like by exemption of the entire inner surface of the textile container of dirt and bulk residues by means of the air flow, wherein the textile container an upper side inlet opening, an approximately cuboid or cylindrical storage space and a lower side, in particular Tüllenförmig having trained outlet opening.
  • the textile container via a arranged at the inlet opening air supply and located at the outlet opening shipsabsangung with air will be flowed through, on the one hand, the air supply promotes such a higher air volume than the air extraction, that the textile container is inflated.
  • the air supply promotes such a higher air volume than the air extraction, that the textile container is inflated.
  • Such textile containers are known, usually for bulk such.
  • seed material cereals, granules and the like can be used.
  • the disadvantage here is that the textile container after use due to their textile structure can be very poorly cleaned from the inside and insofar if available for an identical use or an application with low purity requirements.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide a method for cleaning used bulk textile containers or the like, with which with little effort and at reasonable cost such a good cleaning performance is achieved that the thus cleaned textile containers can be used in many ways ,
  • This object is achieved by a method for cleaning used bulk textile containers or the like, wherein the textile container is in one of its peripheral shape adapted hollow body and creates by the swelling of the surrounding hollow body and / or the textile container is placed in vibration and the Vibration is generated by a particular intermittent control of the air supply and / or air extraction.
  • the textile container Due to the arrangement of the textile container in one of its peripheral shape adapted hollow body he puts himself by the inflation of the surrounding hollow body, so that a lateral guidance is given and thus dust particles and other contaminants not further driven into the tissue become. Also, with very different performances of the air supply and the air extraction, the pressure load acting transversely to the flow is reduced.
  • a vibration generation mechanically, in particular by means of a piston vibrator, and / or the vibration generation can be effected by a particular intermittent control of the air supply and / or air extraction, so that embedded in the textile material or adhering thereto impurities are removed and transported away by the air flow.
  • the invention also relates to a device for cleaning used bulk textile containers or the like by freeing the entire inner surface of the textile container of dirt and bulk material residues by means of the air flow, wherein the textile container an upper side inlet opening, an approximately cuboid or cylindrical storage space and a lower side, in particular having a nozzle-shaped outlet opening, wherein in each case an air supply with a connection element for the inlet opening and an air extraction with a connection element for the outlet opening is provided, and that the air supply has such a higher capacity than the air extraction, that the textile container is inflated during cleaning.
  • connection element for automatically adjusting the distance of the connection elements from each other in its position within certain limits is arranged freely displaceable, and wherein on the other, the connection elements in one the peripheral shape of the textile container adapted hollow body are arranged and the textile container rests against the surrounding hollow body during cleaning and / or a control device for vibration excitation of the textile container by intermittent control of the air supply and / or the air extraction is provided.
  • the textile container Due to the arrangement of the textile container in one of its peripheral shape adapted hollow body on the one hand, the textile container is guided laterally and the pressure load at greatly different outputs of the air supply and the air extraction is limited.
  • the textile container settles here by the swelling of the surrounding hollow body, so that dust particles and other contaminants are not driven further into the tissue by the lateral guide.
  • the pressure load acting transversely to the flow is reduced.
  • the entire inner surface of the textile container is accessible for cleaning and is by means of the air flow freed of dirt and bulk residues that are discharged through the air suction.
  • the contact elements upper and / or lower side and / or be arranged laterally on the textile container, so that in addition to the flow through an increased cleaning of the textile container takes place.
  • the contact elements may be located just where the textile container usually has particularly stubborn and / or very strong contaminants, eg. B. in the bottom area of the textile container.
  • the contact elements can have free spaces for the inlet or outlet opening, so that the entire upper or lower surface can be excited to vibrate with a single contact element.
  • the vibration device may include a piston vibrator, so that the vibration can be generated mechanically in a simple manner.
  • a control device for vibration stimulation of the textile container can be provided by intermittent control of the air supply and / or the air suction, so that even without located in the region of the textile container vibration devices increased cleaning of the textile container is possible.
  • the air extraction with an air purification system in particular be connected to a dedusting, so that especially in environmentally or health contaminants and / or bulk residues removed by the cleaning of the fabric container substances can not be fed uncontrollably into the environmental systems, but possibly a professional disposal or recycling.
  • the object according to the invention is also achieved by a device for cleaning used bulk textile containers or the like, wherein the textile container has an upper-side inlet opening, an approximately cuboidal or cylindrical storage space and an underside, in particular tüllenförmig formed outlet opening, in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention wherein the device for cleaning the interior of the textile container by freeing the entire inner surface of the textile container of dirt and bulk residues is used by the air flow, wherein the device is vibrated and wherein in each case an air supply with a connection element for the inlet opening and an air extraction with a connection element for the outlet opening is provided, wherein at least one connecting element for automatically adjusting the distance of the connecting elements from each other in its Positi is arranged freely displaceable within certain limits, and that the air supply has such a higher capacity than the air suction, that the textile container is inflated during cleaning.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention for cleaning a used bulk textile container 2, which has an upper-side inlet opening 3, an approximately parallelepiped or cylindrical one Storage space 4 and a lower-side outlet opening 5 has.
  • an air supply 7 connected via a connection element 6 to the inlet opening 3 and an air suction 9 connected to the outlet opening 5 via a connection element 8 are provided.
  • the air supply 7 has such a higher delivery rate than the air suction 9, that the textile container 2 is inflated during cleaning, so that it is completely traversed by the air and does not take place in wrinkles or the like no cleaning.
  • the textile container 2 can be put into vibration, so that settled in the material fixed dirt or debris residues and be transported by the air suction.
  • the connecting elements 6 and 8 with the piston vibrators 10 and contact elements 11 located within certain limits are arranged freely displaceable and are inflated by the at the startup of the device 1 and expansive textile container 2 pressed apart.
  • an air cleaning system 12 may be arranged in the exhaust path of the air extraction 9.
