Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with a device for scouring the insides of barrels, particularly caskets, barriques, and the like.
  • Such scouring step is difficult to carry out, because access to the inside of the barrel can only be made through a bung-hole of 4 to 5 cm gage.
  • the barrel is laid horizontally, with its bung-hole facing downwards, on a supporting structure that is rotatable around a vertical axis through the bung-hole, and a perforated head inserted into the bung-hole is connected to a tube feeding the scouring water to the head. While the barrique is rotated, water is pumped to the head, so that a number of jets may issue from the perforations to hit the inside wall of the barrel.
  • the scouring action is bland and does not remove all lees with certainty, particularly the less that are nested in the most critical points, e.g. the corners between the bottoms and the side walls of the barrel.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a device for scouring the insides of barrels, particularly caskets, barriques, and the like, which is capable of scouring the inside wall of a barrel more energetically than conventional devices, without leaving blind spots and allowing the scouring action to be concentrated on the most critical spots.
  • the scouring device 10 comprises an elongated support 14 which can be placed in a stationary position with respect to a generic barrique B, with an end portion PT insertable through a bung-hole C and rotatable about its axis.
  • the elongated support is a bushing 14 comprising a cylindrical tube 16 rising from a base 12, and reinforced by four posts 18 that are longitudinally welded to the external surface of the tube and spaced at equal angles about its axis.
  • Base 12 comprises a block 12a provided with a bore 20 coaxially to tube 14, and carrying a draining tank 12b, described in more detail below, which surrounds bushing 14 with its concavity facing toward the barrique, and having a cylindrical cavity 22, coaxially with bore 20.
  • Bushing 14 is attached to base 12 by means of a collar 24 connected to the corresponding end of tube 16 and engaging the cylindrical cavity 22 of tank 13, and having an annular expansion 24a that is axially retained between an annular ledge 26 projecting from block 12a and an associated undercut 28 made in cylindrical cavity 22.
  • a hollow shaft 38 is journaled which has a threaded end 38a passing through bore 20 of block 12a and screwed into the hollow driving shaft 42 of a gearmotor 44 attached at base 40 of the block by means of screws 46.
  • Gearmotor 44 is controlled by a control unit (non shown) which does not belong to the invention.
  • a ring nut 48 screwed on the threaded end of the hollow shaft can be locked against driving shaft 42 to secure the hollow shaft.
  • hollow shaft 38 rises from tube 16 and carries a threaded, cylindrical connector 50, onto which is attached the above- mentioned, rotatable end portion PT.
  • the latter comprises a hollow box 52, from which a fork 54 projects parallelly to hollow shaft 38.
  • a boom 56 is swiveled around a transversal axis P on fork 54.
  • Within hollow shaft 38 is slidable a flexible tube 58, having its delivery end provided with a nozzle 60 and hooked to the free end of boom 56, in an offset position when the boom lies longitudinally to shaft 38.
  • a coupling 62 axially connects the inlet end 58a of flexible tube 58 to a union pipe 64, which is also axially slidable within hollow shaft 38.
  • Union pipe 64 has a threaded tail 66 engaging the threaded bore 68 of a flange 70 attached to the housing of gearmotor 44.
  • the free end 66a of threaded tail 66 is connectible to a detergent-feeding pipe (not shown) through a swivel joint 72.
  • Flexible tube 58 is partly sheathed in a rigid lining 74, extending from coupling 62 for a length L, and slidable between two opposite pairs of rollers 76a, 76b and 78a, 78b, which are journaled within hollow box 52 and are shaped with concave profiles.
  • Flexible tube 58 is guided by constraint means to take desired, progressively bent attitudes, corresponding to respective inclinations of boom 56, which depend on the axial displacement of the slide.
  • the constraint means comprise a projection 56a obliquely extending from boom 56 beyond its transversal axis P, and having a saddle-shaped seat 80 at its end, where flexible tube 58 is slidably received.
  • Flexible tube 58 is elastically retained to engage seat 80 by a U-shaped elastic member 82, which is arranged obliquely astride flexible tube 58 and is attached to boom 56 by its ends such as 82a.
  • the end 16b of tube 16 integrally carries a coaxial cylindrical ferrule 84, within which is received a lip gasket 86 in sealing engagement with the outside surface of hollow shaft 38, as well as a guiding bush 87.
  • the outside mantle of cylindrical ferrule 84 has an annular region 84a with a reduced diameter, which is closely surrounded by a cylindrical apron 88 extending from cylindrical connector 50 in a longitudinal direction to build a labyrinth seal.
  • the bottom F of tank 12a is shaped with a circumferential hollow 90 surrounding the bushing and has a draining channel 92 leading to an exhaust port 94 to which a cock 96 is connected.
  • a transparent cylindrical window 98 surrounds tank 12a, and supports a connection ring 100 having a conical seat 102 receiving the rim of a bellow-shaped gasket 104, whose opposite rim engages the external wall of barrique B around bung-hole C.
  • An elastic ring 106 clamps the rim of the bellow-shaped gasket engaging the conical seat, so that a seal is provided.
  • Other annular gaskets 108, 110 seal the transparent window with respect to block 12b and to connection ring 100.
  • block 12b, cylindrical window 98, connection ring 100, bellow-shaped gasket 104 and the side wall of the barrique together define a draining chamber V surrounding bushing 14.
  • the barrique B is supported with horizontal axis on a fixed support structure, with its bung-hole C facing downwards, while device 10 is preferably mounted on a bench placed beneath the barrique. While the boom is extended longitudinally, the nozzle-carrying end of device 10 is radially inserted through the bung-hole, until the bellow-shaped gasket 104 is pressed against the outside surface of the barrique.
  • an auxiliary centering tool (not shown) may be attached to support 12, which is provided with four brackets in abutment with the outside surface of the barrique B, in order to provide further resting points and to aid in centering the device.
  • Washing water is then supplied to the device by connecting a pump (not shown) to coupling 72.
  • the liquid goes through union pipe 64 and flexible tube 58 to be ejected from nozzle 60 as a high-pressure jet.
  • gearmotor 44 When gearmotor 44 is operated, boom 56 is driven to turn around driving shaft 42, by the intermediary of hollow shaft 38, cylindrical connector 50, hollow box 52 and fork 54.
  • the boom's rotation is transmitted, via flexible tube 58 and union pipe 64 (which are integral with boom 56), to the threaded extension 66 of the union pipe.
  • Threaded extension 66 cooperates with stationary flange 70 to be displaced axially, and both its rotation and its linear displacement are applied to the length of flexible tube that is stiffened by rigid lining 74, which will slide within the hollow box 52 between rollers 76, 78, which act a guiding means for the slide made by the rigid lining surrounding the flexible tube.
  • the length of flexible tube free from lining 74, which is attached to boom 56 near its end, is progressively bent by the action of the lever due to the offset between the length of flexible tube inserted in the rigid lining 74 and the end 58b of the flexible tube attached to boom 56, thereby driving the boom to swivel around pivot P.
  • Seat 80 and elastic member 82 cooperate to guide the proper bending of flexible tube 58, which will progressively and continuously increase the inclination of boom 56 around axis P as the union pipe is displaced, up to an angle ? of substantially 180°.
  • the scouring liquid flows into draining chamber V through the gap between bung-hole C and tube 14, and from there to the circumferential hollow 90 and to the drain channel 92, so that it is eventually exhausted from the exhaust port through the cock.
  • the above-described exhaust arrangement due to the seal between the drain tank and the wall of the barrique surrounding the bung-hole, allows the scouring to be carried out while maintaining a clean working environment. Moreover, by shutting the cock and sustaining the supply of scouring liquid, the draining chamber V fills up progressively with exhaust liquid, and it is then possible to visually check the degree of cleanliness of the exhausted liquid and determine whether an additional scouring step should be carried out.
