Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a cleaning machine according to the preamble of claim 20, as in GB 1209323 shown.
  • Cleaning machines for cleaning bottles or other containers are known in different designs.
  • the treatment of the container is usually u.a. in at least one dipping bath, which is filled with a cleaning liquid (eg lye or acid) when the cleaning machine is ready for operation.
  • a cleaning liquid eg lye or acid
  • With a circulating transport system the containers arranged in receptacles of container carriers of this system are moved through the immersion bath so that the containers are completely submerged in the cleaning liquid.
  • each receptacle for a bottle on the transport system with a treatment nozzle in the form of a nozzle tube, which extends through the bottle mouth in the arranged in the respective bottle receptacle bottle.
  • the transport system forms a deflection, at which the transport element of this system having the bottle receptacles is deflected about a horizontal axis oriented perpendicular to the transport direction.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which an effective loading of the interior of bottles or similar containers when passing a dip bath with a treatment jet to improve the effect of this dip is achieved with a reduced design effort.
  • a method according to claim 1 is formed.
  • a cleaning machine, in which this method is integrated, is the subject of claim 20.
  • the treatment of the treated container with the treatment beam in a free jet method i. the treatment nozzle arrangement or treatment nozzle, with the treatment beam of which the interior of the treated container is acted upon by the container opening or mouth, is at a distance from this container mouth, but also from the container receiving receptacle of the transport system.
  • the loading of the containers with the treatment jet takes place in an immersion bath, while the containers are completely submerged, but at least with their mouth in the local cleaning liquid.
  • the loading of the containers takes place in the region of a diversion of the transport path formed in the immersion bath in such a way that the respective treatment beam is applied only to those containers which are oriented due to the course of the transport route to the deflection with its container opening or mouth down and at which counteracts the running in the direction of the treatment beam component of its weight of the forces acting on these containers force of the respective treatment beam at least so far that a displacement or even lifting of the respective container is not carried by the treatment beam in the container receptacle.
  • 1 is a cleaning machine for cleaning bottles 2.
  • a transport system 5 is provided, with which the bottles to be cleaned 2 are moved through different treatment zones, of a bottle inlet. 6 among others by a first, a cleaning liquid, e.g. Leach containing immersion 7, then by a second, a cleaning liquid, such as acid, containing immersion 8 and through various Abspritzstationen 9, where in each case a Abspritzen therobonau built- - inside surfaces with spray jets of cleaning fluids and finally with pure water, so that the purified Finally, bottles 2 with the transport system 5 reach the bottle outlet or the bottle delivery 14.
  • a cleaning liquid e.g. Leach containing immersion 7
  • a cleaning liquid such as acid
  • the transport system consists in the manner known to those skilled in a variety of in the transport direction A contiguous and moving with circulating transport chains bottle baskets 15, each of which in the start simplified embodiment illustrated three perpendicular to the transport direction A juxtaposed bottle cells 16 forms.
  • a bottle 2 centered is recorded so that it lies with its mouth of the bottle 2.1 substantially congruent with an opening 17 at the otherwise closed end of the bottle cell 16 concerned.
  • the transport system 5 has a plurality of deflections, which in the FIG. 1 are generally designated 18 - 22 and of which the deflection 19 is located within the immersion bath 8.
  • the bottles 2 are oriented with their bottle axis FA radially or approximately radially to the horizontal axis of this deflection, in such a way that the bottle mouths 2.1 and also the openings 17 of which there are moving past bottle cells facing this axis.
  • a treatment nozzle assembly 23 is provided which is driven in rotation with the movement of the bottle baskets 15 around the axis of this deflection.
  • a bottle baskets 15, nozzle rows 25 are provided, which are parallel to the axis of rotation (arrow B)
  • Treatment nozzle assembly 23 extend and each of the number of bottle cells 16 per bottle basket 15 corresponding to three treatment nozzles 26 have.
  • the deflections 19 and thus also the treatment nozzle arrangement 23 provided within this deflection are located within the immersion bath 8 below the level of the liquid level of the treatment liquid.
  • the bottles 2 moved with the bottle baskets 2 initially have such an orientation when approaching the deflection 19 that the bottles 2 are oriented with their bottom of the bottle downwards and with their flat mouth 2.1 upwards.
  • the bottles 2 are then turned by the course of the transport path of the transport system 5 so that they are increasingly oriented with their bottom of the bottle increasingly upwards and with their bottle mouth down and in the area of its mouth bottle 2.1 at the opening 17th supporting side 16.1 of the bottle cells 16.
  • the individual treatment nozzles 26 are connected via a control device 27 to the output of a pump 28 whose input is connected via a filter 29 (fine filter) with the immersion bath 8 for sucking cleaning liquid from this dip.
  • the rows of nozzles 25 are controlled such that treatment jets 26.1 are introduced from the treatment nozzles 26 only in such bottles 2, which are already turned so far in the region of the deflection 19, that they are already sufficiently downwardly inclined with its mouth of the bottle 2.1 and thereby abut against the side 16.1 of the respective bottle cell 16 with a sufficiently large force component of their weight.
  • the pressure of the treatment jets 26.1 emerging from the controlled treatment nozzles 26 is adjusted or regulated such that the component acting in the direction of the respective treatment jet 26.1 Weight of the respective treated bottle 2 counteracts a pushing out of the bottle 2 from the open end 16.2 of the bottle cell 16 concerned, ie the force exerted by the respective treatment beam 26.1 on a treated bottle 2 force smaller or at most equal to the effective in the direction of the treatment beam force component of the weight this bottle is 2.
  • the device for controlling the treatment nozzles 26 and the supply of the treatment medium to the treatment nozzles 26 such that the treatment jets of one nozzle row 25 assigned to each row of bottle cells 16 can be controlled or regulated independently of the other nozzle rows 25 , By doing so, it is possible to adjust the thickness of the treatment jets issuing from a nozzle row 25 during rotational movement of the baffle 19 to the magnitude changing force components of the weight force of the bottles 2, whereby the exchange of the treatment medium can be further improved.
  • each bottle 2 remains completely during the treatment or Abschwallvorgangs completely in the associated bottle cell 16 and with its bottle mouth 2.2 of the opening 17 immediately adjacent or optimally aligned to this opening.
  • the treatment of the bottles 2 with the treatment jets 26.1 is carried out in a free jet method, i. without docking and / or insertion of treatment nozzles on or in the bottles 2. Rather, the treatment nozzles 26 are each spaced from the side 16.1 of the bottle cells 16 and thus also from the bottle mouths 2.1.
  • the pump 28 is designed to be adjustable, so that the funded by this pump volume and the pressure generated at the outlet of the pump and thus to the treatment nozzles 26 are adjustable or adjustable, namely to adapt the treatment nozzle assembly 23 to bottles 2 with different mass and thus with different weight.
  • the treatment beams 26.1 are for example controlled so that they are sufficiently turned over the entire movement path of the deflection 19, in the (movement distance) the bottle and thus held with sufficient weight against the action of the treatment beams 26.1 in the respective bottle cell 16, emerge continuously or intermittently with at least one interruption from the treatment nozzle 26.
  • the cross-section of the openings of the treatment nozzles 26 and thus the cross section of the treatment jets 26.1 emerging from these treatment nozzles are selected so that the treatment jet 26.1 directed into a bottle 2 does not hinder the flow of the displaced or exchanged cleaning liquid.
  • this exchange process can be improved.
  • the FIG. 4 shows a trained as an annular nozzle treatment nozzle 26a, which can find instead of a treatment nozzle 26 use.
  • the treatment nozzle 26a has a central nozzle opening 32 which serves to form the respective treatment jet 26.1 and which is connected via the controller 27 to the outlet of the pump 28.
  • the input of the pump in turn via the filter 29, the heater 30 and the metering device 31 is connected to the dip 8.
  • the treatment nozzle 26a further has a suction opening 33 which in the illustrated embodiment, the nozzle opening 32 surrounds annular and which is connected to the input of a further pump 34, whose outlet communicates with the dip bath 8.
  • the treatment liquid displaced or exchanged from a treated bottle 2 by the treatment jet 26.1 is at least partially suctioned off via the suction opening 33, whereby the replacement of the cleaning liquid in the treated bottle 2 is substantially improved.
  • the treatment medium is a liquid medium.
  • the treatment medium can also be a gaseous medium. Mixtures of liquid and gaseous treatment media or the treatment with both media after each other are conceivable.
