Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the inner surfaces of containers in general.
- It is known that the inner surfaces of containers used in industrial fields are currently cleaned by means of devices which can be of two different types: a first one uses brushes which perform a mechanical action on the surfaces, while a second one uses heads for spraying washing liquid.
- Devices that use brushes are particularly useful in the presence of surfaces having residues of dried paint, sediments of resins, adhesives, residues of silicone on the bottom, but this solution has the drawback of causing deposition of residues of product on the brushes; accordingly, the cleaning operation in progress might be contaminated by the prior use.
- Moreover, the different types of containers commercially available entails the use of different brushes which are designed specifically for each type of container, with the need to proceed with brush replacement, which is mostly performed manually and which, even if it can be performed automatically, always requires complicated cleaning operations.
- Devices using spraying heads have the advantage of being able to reach every point of the walls of the container, regardless of its shape, with a mechanical action produced by the maximum operating pressure, which can be estimated at 40 bar, combined with the chemical action of the cleaning liquid. Even if the product to be cleaned changes, the washing head has no contamination problems, since it is never in direct contact with the products.
- However, this solution is not applicable in case of resistant products, which require a mechanical action that can be achieved only by means of brushes, since current applicable statutory provisions do not allow to exceed a pressure of 40 bar.
- Document US 3,992,745 describes a cleaning unit for internal mechanical cleaning of containers comprising one or more brushes which are generally disc-shaped and whose periphery is shaped in conformity with the shape of the container. The brushes are so arranged that the bristles thereon can be moved into and out of brushing engagement with the inside of the container.
Document DE 32 42 877 discloses a washing brush of a high-pressure washing system in which the washing brush is arranged on a spray tube in a displaceable way by having a housing with an axial bore, through which the spray tube passes and a clamping device for stopping the displacement of the housing on the spray tube. In the pushed-forwards position, the spray nozzle of the washing system disappears in the bristles of the washing brush, so that low-pressure washing is possible, whilst, in the retracted position of the washing brush, the spray nozzle distributes a high-pressure spray jet onto the cleaning surface. - The aim of the invention is to eliminate the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a device for cleaning the inner surfaces of containers in above described solutions without however suffering their drawbacks.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a device which makes it possible to clean any kind of container without having to resort to complicated brush cleaning operations.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which, thanks to its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device easily obtainable starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and being further competitive from a merely economical point of view.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a device for cleaning the inner surfaces of containers in general according to
claim 1. - Further characteristics and advantages will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a device for cleaning the internal surfaces of containers in general, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a schematic overall view of the device according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a view of the step of cleaning, by means of the brush, the bottom of a container having a narrow mouth;
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of the step of cleaning a container by means of the spray head;
- Figure 4 is a schematic view of the step of cleaning the bottom of a container which is open at the top;
- Figure 5 is an enlarged-scale view of the detail of the connection between the brush-like element and the washing head.
-
- With reference to the figures, the device for cleaning the inner surfaces of containers in general comprises a supporting frame, generally designated by the
reference numeral 1, which defines apost 2 on which atransverse arm 3 can slide; such arm is supported by aslider 4 which is provided with wheels for sliding with respect to thepost 2 and is connected to a cylinder for vertical translational motion which is generally designated by thereference numeral 5. - The
transverse arm 3 supports an outertubular element 10 inside which there is an innertubular element 11 which is supported so that it can rotate with respect to the outertubular element 10 by interposingbearings 12 and by the action of motor means 13 which are supported by thearm 3. - The inner tubular element can thus rotate about a vertical axis.
- The outer tubular element has, in a downward region, a
flange 20 which engages in a downward region a body for coupling to the mouth of the container to be cleaned, which can be constituted by adisk 22 in the case of containers 23 of the open type or by ahousing 24 in the case ofcontainers 25 having a narrow mouth. - By way of the
flange 20, upon engagement theplate 22 or thehousing 24 engage hermetically the upper edge of the container, allowing the translational motion inside thecontainer 23 or 25 of the outertubular element 10, which is rigidly connected to thearm 3. - A brush-like element, generally designated by the
reference numeral 30, is connected to the lower end of the innertubular element 11, can be of different types and is constituted, for example, bylower scraper bristles 31 around which there arelong bristles 32 which clean the side walls by spreading out due to centrifugal force. - An important feature of the invention consists in that, coaxially with respect to the brush-like element, an
inner duct 40 is provided which can perform a translational motion hermetically with respect to the innertubular element 11, which supports in a downward region awashing head 41 described in greater detail hereinafter, and is connected in an upward region to translational motion means being constituted by anupper cylinder 45 which acts on the end of theduct 40 so as to perform a translational motion with respect to the innertubular element 11 and accordingly with respect to the brush-like element. - The
internal duct 40 can perform a translational motion with respect to the innertubular element 11, so as to arrange thewashing head 41 below the brush-like element, as shown in Figure 3, thereby allowing to perform, with the same device, cleaning by means of the washing head. - The washing head can rotate, revolve and perform an upward and downward translational motion.
- The washing head can be used in combination with the brush-like element or separately from it.
- In this way it is possible to combine in a single device the typical advantages of cleaning by means of a brush-like element and the typical advantages of cleaning by means of a washing head without having to face the corresponding drawbacks.
- Moreover, the washing head, which can be extracted with respect to the brush-like element, allows to clean the brush-like element by means of said washing head, thus solving directly in the device the problem linked to the cleanliness and cleaning of the brush-like elements.
- From the above description it is evident that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, and in particular the fact is stressed that is possible to combine the action of the cleaning brush and of the pressure head, obtaining a particular synergistic effect which allows to enjoy the advantages of the solutions of the known art without however suffering their drawbacks, thus solving a problem which is strongly felt in the art.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
- All the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
