Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle cell for transporting swing top bottles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the bottles are preferably guided in meandering movements through the cleaning machine, so that they change their position several times during the cleaning process and transported both upright, as well as overhead.
  • the transport of reusable bottles to be cleaned in cleaning machines is preferably carried out in bottle cells, which are more or less adapted to the shape of the bottles to be cleaned.
  • the bottle cell When cleaning U-lock bottles, the bottle cell must be adapted to its shape, since the outer contour of the bottle is changed by the open bracket.
  • bottle cells are known from the prior art. So shows eg the DE 9205044 a bottle cell for swing top bottles. Also the DE 1909532 and the DE 1878324 show bottle cells for cleaning machines, which have a variety of holes or recesses in the head area to get into the bottle cells or bottles with cleaning agents. These bottle cells have the Disadvantage that although flip top bottles can be treated, the geometry is designed so that temple closures, which are when inserting the bottle in the bottle cell in the insertion direction in front of the bottle, there remain and even centered, so that the clapper of the clip closure before the bottle opening is located and cleaning by entry of a cleaning medium is not possible.
  • the clip closure When inserting a bottle into a bottle cell according to the invention, in which the clip closure is in the insertion direction in front of the bottle mouth, the clip closure is given more space for commuting when reaching the area of the bottle cell with increased inner diameter, resulting in further insertion of the bottle in the bottle cell to a Overtaking the bottle mouth and thus a return of the clip closure in a position in Einschiebecardi behind the bottle mouth.
  • webs are attached to the cell inner wall, where the Bottle at least partially rests when inserted into the cell.
  • the webs lead to the fact that the bottle to be cleaned does not rest on the entire surface when inserted into the bottle cell but only finds support at specific points.
  • the webs in the direction of a head portion of the bottle cell are getting lower, so that thereby an increase in the inner diameter of the bottle cell can be achieved.
  • the reduction of the webs is designed so that they pass into an upper middle region in the bottle inner wall and disappear. As a result, there is a correspondingly larger pendulum space available for the clip closure.
  • the enlargement of the cell inner diameter in the middle region of the bottle cell is also possible because, with substantially constant wall thickness of the bottle cell, the distance of the bottle cell inner wall to the respective opposite side increases in the middle region in the direction of the head region. In this variant, the webs do not need to leak into the bottle cell wall.
  • the head region of the bottle cell tapers to a centering region, in which the bottle mouth is centered in the bottle cell when the bottle is completely inserted.
  • the centering region is preferably a circular shoulder on which the mouth of the bottle can rest, wherein it has a passage through which cleaning agent can be introduced into the bottle.
  • the shoulder of the centering region preferably has a width which corresponds to the height of the part of the bobbin which protrudes from it when the bottle is closed.
  • the head region of the bottle cell preferably tapers as far as the centering region.
  • the taper is configured such that the tapered outer wall of the bottle cell and the inner wall of the bottle cell have an angle of 120 ° to 170 °, preferably 140 ° to 160 °.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is that the tapered bottle cell inner wall in the head region for bottle cell inner wall in the central region has an angle of 105 ° to 135 °, Favor of 115 ° to 125 °, more preferably of 120 °. This embodiment has the advantage that the clapper is retained when inserting the bottle into the bottle cell. If the angle were still dull, a centering effect would arise, which would guide the clapper towards the head area.
  • Figure 1 shows a bottle cell 1 according to the invention as used in bottle washing machines for passing the bottles through the machine.
  • the bottle cell 1 in this case has along its longitudinal axis A a bottom region 3, a middle region 4 and a head region 5.
  • the bottom portion 3 has on its lower side an opening through which the swing-top bottle 2 is inserted into the bottle cell 1.
  • the center area 4 of the bottle cell 1 is divided into a lower center area 4b and an upper center area 4a.
  • the swing-lock bottle 2 is guided in the direction of the head region 5.
  • the head region 5 has a centering region 6, in which the bottle mouth 15 is centered.
  • the head region 5 of the bottle cell 1 tapers toward the centering region 6. This tapering results in an angle 9 between the middle region 4 and the outer side of the head region 5 which is less than 180 °, preferably between 120 and 160 ° ° is.
  • the taper of the head portion 5 of the bottle cell 1 on the outside is not equal to that of the inside.
  • An angle 17 therefore arises between the inner wall 11 in the center region 4 of the bottle cell 1 and the inside of the head region 5 of 105 ° to 135 °, preferably of 115 ° to 125 °, more preferably of 120 °.
  • the interior of the bottle cell 1 in the bottom area 3 can be considered.
  • the bottle cell 1 has in its interior on the inner wall 11 attached webs 10, which serve as bearing surfaces for the swing top bottles 2 when inserted into the bottle cell 1 and during the transport of the bottle cell 1 by the cleaning machine.
  • the bottom portion 3 of the bottle cell 1 has a non-circular cross-section. This closed U-shape has the advantage that the U-lock bottle 2 is better centered when it is introduced into the bottle cell 1.
  • the head region 5 has struts 12, which allow attachment of the centering region 6 to the bottle cell 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the head region 5 of the bottle cell 1, wherein a clip closure bottle 2 is already inserted into the bottle cell 1.
  • the centering region 6 has a circular shape, wherein a subdivision is made in two semicircles.
  • a semicircle of the centering region 6 is held by six struts 12, wherein in each case three struts are located at a 45 ° angle to one another and are connected to both the bottle cell 1 and the centering region 6. In this way, two strut groups are each connected to a half centering area 6.
  • This open design in the head region 5 of the bottle cell 1 has the advantage that an optimal bottle flushing with spray nozzles 16 can be made from outside the bottle cell 1.
  • the bottle cell 1 When inserting the swing top bottle 2 in the bottle cell 1, the bottle cell 1 is usually in a substantially horizontal position, so that the BügelverInstitutflasche 2 rests on the lower webs 10.
  • the U-lock bottle 2 is open as a rule, so that the bracket 14 and the clapper 8, which together form the closure mechanism, are not in front of the bottle mouth 15.
  • the clapper 8 of the swing-top bottle 2 is preferably located at the lower end of the bottle cell 1 according to gravity.
  • FIGS. 4 a to 4 c each show a bottle cell 1 with a clip closure bottle 2, wherein these are each located at different positions within the bottle cell 1.
  • Fig. 4a shows an arrangement in which the U-lock bottle 2 already inserted into the bottle cell 1, but not yet completely covered by it. At the time of insertion of the swing-top bottle 2 into the bottle cell 1, it lies horizontally, so that the flip-top bottle 2 rests on the lower side of the bottle cell 1 with respect to gravity during insertion. A contact with the inner wall 11 during insertion is not given because the webs 10 are attached to the bottle inner wall 11, which extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis A with respect to their height.
  • the swing-top bottle 2 is inserted into the bottle cell 1, so that the clapper 8, which is attached to a bracket 14, is pushed in the direction of insertion 20 in front of the swing-top bottle 2.
  • the webs 10 extend from the bottom area 3 to the end of the lower middle area 4b. Seen in the direction of insertion 20 shortly before the end of the lower central region 4b lose the webs 10 in height and run into the inner wall 11 of the bottle cell 1, so that they completely absorbed at the beginning of the upper middle portion 4a in the inner wall 11 are. Due to this leakage of the webs 10, the inner diameter of the bottle cell 1 is expanded from the bottom portion 3 and the lower middle portion 4b toward the upper middle portion 4a.
  • the position of the swing-lock bottle 2 in FIG. 4 a is chosen such that it is located outside, in the bottom area 3 or in the lower middle area 4 b in its entire longitudinal extent (including bow 14 and clapper 8).
  • Fig. 4b shows a position of the swing top bottle 2 in the bottle cell 1, in which the bottle 2 is completely within the bottle cell 1, wherein the bottom of the bottle 2 in the bottom portion 3 of the bottle cell 1, the body portion of the bottle 2 lower center portion 4b and the mouth of the bottle 15 is in the upper middle area 4a.
  • the clapper 8 is located in the upper middle area 4a. Due to the absence of the webs 10 in the upper middle region 4a, the clapper 8 moves downwards in the direction of insertion of the flip-top bottle 2 into the bottle cell 1 in the direction of the inner wall 11. This clapper movement is a consequence of the inner diameter enlargement of the bottle cell 1.
  • the extended game of the bobbin 8 achieved by the increase in inner diameter causes a centering of the bobbin 8 is made difficult or impossible in front of the bottle mouth 15, as in the further introduction of the swing top bottle 2 in bottle cell 1 in the direction of insertion direction 20 overtaking the Klöppels 8 is guaranteed.
  • the centering area 6 has stops 13, which are at least partially in contact with the mouth sealing surface when the clip closure bottle 2 is pushed into the bottle cell 1.
  • this special construction of the centering region 6 is advantageous for this purpose To cancel the condition.
  • the clapper 8 is in this case to the stops 13 and rests on the paragraph 7.
  • this paragraph 7 has a depth T which is less than or equal to the height of the part of the clapper 8, which is seated in the bottle mouth 15 outside the swing-top bottle 2.
  • the clip closure bottle 2 itself only has a direct support point in the bottle cell 1, namely in the lower middle region 4b on the webs 10.
  • FIG. 6 shows the section along the line C in FIG. 4b without swing-lock bottle 2.
  • the webs 10 on the inner wall 11 of the bottle cell 1 can be easily recognized.
  • the diameter increase of the bottle cell 1 in the head area 5 is shown here. If the clip closure bottles 2 rest on the webs 10, they move within a diameter D2 in the bottle cell 1. In the head region 5, after the webs 10 have run into the inner wall 11 of the bottle cell 1, the clip closure bottles 2 have freedom of movement in the area of one Diameter D1 available.
