Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for treating goods, with a treatment container for receiving the goods and a working container for receiving a treatment medium or the like, and a drive device for driving the treatment container.
• Devices of the generic type are known.
• Devices of this type are known, for example, as so-called drum washing machines, a washing drum being arranged as a treatment container in a tub as a working container.
• the washing drum can be driven by means of a drive, in particular an electric motor.
• washable goods, in particular laundry which can be introduced into the washing drum are washed, rinsed, optionally spun and / or dried in a known manner.
• Washing machines of this type are usually designed as domestic washing machines or industrial washing machines, by means of which a very limited amount of washable goods can be treated.
• tub washing machines in which washable items introduced into the tub are moved by means of agitators or the like.
• agitators in which washable items introduced into the tub are moved by means of agitators or the like.
• complex filling or removal of the washable goods must be carried out.
• the invention has for its object to provide a device for treating goods, which is characterized by a simple structure, can be used flexibly and in particular allows the treatment of larger quantities of goods.
• this object is achieved by a device with the features mentioned in claim 1.
• this offers the advantage that one treatment container can be assigned to several working containers, preferably filled with different treatment media.
• a treatment container once filled with material can be successively introduced into a disinfection bath, a washing bath, at least one rinsing bath or the like. This allows optimal use of the cleaning media in the respective working containers, for example the disinfectant, the washing liquor, the rinsing water and the like, also through multiple use.
• treatment is understood to mean, in particular, washing, cleaning, impregnating, milling, finishing, dyeing, starching, bleaching, flame retardant impregnation, care protective impregnation or the like.
• a drive is arranged on the treatment container. This advantageously makes it possible to make the work containers themselves relatively simple and to use a treatment container with a drive for a wide variety of treatment processes. It is particularly preferred if the drive is an electric motor. In this way, control processes, for example a drive speed of the treatment container, a direction of rotation of the treatment container, a time period of a rotary movement of the treatment container and the like can be regulated or controlled in a simple manner.
• the treatment container is a drum, in particular a rotationally symmetrical drum, which is arranged rotatably about its longitudinal axis.
• the treatment container has at least one filling opening for the material to be treated, wherein the at least one filling opening is preferably arranged on an outer surface of the treatment container.
• the material to be treated can be introduced into the treatment container through the filling opening in a simple manner.
• Technical aids such as, for example, conveyor belts, funnels, load aids or the like, can be used in this way, in particular in the case of a large quantity of goods to be treated simultaneously.
• the treatment container has a removal opening for the treated good, wherein the removal opening is preferably arranged on an end face of the treatment container.
• technical aids such as, for example, trucks or the like, can also be used to automatically remove the treated material from the treatment container by forming an inclined plane.
• the removal opening forms a partial circular area of the end face of the treatment container.
• Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a treatment container
• Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a treatment container
• FIG. 1 shows a treatment container, designated overall by 10, for holding washable items, not shown in detail.
• Treatment container 10 comprises a frame structure 12, within which a drum 14 is arranged, which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 16.
• the drum 14 is arranged via a first bearing 18 on a bearing arm 20, which in turn is non-positively connected to the frame 12.
• the drum 14 is connected to a drive 24 via a second bearing 22.
• the drive 24 comprises an electric motor 26 and a gear 28.
• the drive 24 is non-positively connected to the frame 12 via a bearing block 30.
• the frame 12 comprises at least one, here two, devices 32, by means of which the treatment container 10 can be raised or lowered using a crane or the like (not shown in FIG. 1).
• the drum 14 has at least one filling opening 34 which is arranged in a lateral surface 36.
• the filling opening 34 can be closed by a cover 38.
• the cover 38 can, as shown, be moved by means of a handling device 40 from a closed position (shown) to an open position and vice versa.
• the cover 38 can also be connected to the drum 14 in an articulated manner via hinges or the like.
• the cover 38 can be locked in its closed position by means of elements not shown in detail, for example screw connections, clamp connections or the like.
• the drum 14 has a number of openings 56 which
• the openings 56 can also be arranged on an imaginary circumferential line about the longitudinal axis 16.
• Carriers are arranged inside the drum 14, for example in the form of guide plates, nub-like projections or the like.
• the drum 14 On an end face 42, the drum 14 has a removal opening 44 which can be closed by means of a cover 46.
• the cover 46 is articulated to the drum 14 via a hinge 48.
• FIG. 10 For further clarification, a side view of the treatment container 10 with a view of the end face 42 is shown in FIG.
• the same parts as in Figure 1 are provided with the same reference numerals and not explained again.
• the cover 46 only covers a partial circular area of the end face 42.
• ⁇ which is for example in the range between 30 ° and 60 °
• the end face 42 is closed by an essentially plate-shaped body 50.
• This body 50 is firmly connected on the one hand to the drum 14 and on the other hand to the bearing 18.
• a dividing joint 52 can be seen between the cover 46 and the body 50, which thus forms the boundary of the removal opening 44 in the region of the body 50.
• This configuration ensures that the drum 14 is fastened to the frame 12 so that it can rotate about its longitudinal axis 16 via the bearing arm 20 and the bearing 18, and the end face 42 is nevertheless available as a removal opening by opening the cover 46.
• the lid 46 can be folded forward about the hinge 48 - as shown in FIG. 2 from the plane of the paper.
• closure elements 54 are provided, which are designed, for example, as screw connectors.

• the treatment container 10 After the treatment container 10 has been filled, it is brought into the desired working container 58 one after the other by means of the portal crane 66. As shown, for example, a treatment container 10 has been placed in the second working container 58 with a disinfectant solution 60. After the treatment container 10 has been brought into the desired working container 58, the drum 14 is set in rotation about its longitudinal axis 16 via the drive 24. According to a control, the speed of the drum 14, the direction of rotation of the drum 14 and the duration of rotation of the drum 14 can be varied.
• the treatment container 10 is first placed in a working container 58 with a disinfection bath 60, then in a working container 58 with wash liquor 62 and finally in a working container 58 with a rinsing bath 64.
• the treatment container 10 After completion of the intended treatment of the goods to be treated, the treatment container 10 is parked separately.
• the treated good can then be removed via the opened removal opening 44, as the left-hand illustration in FIG. 3 shows.
• the opening of the cover 46 is also illustrated here, the section 50 of the end face 42 remaining on the drum 14.
