Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a machine, in particular a capsule filling machine, which fills powdered or gel-like media, in particular medicines, into capsules.
- Powdered or gelatinous medicaments are filled into capsules, for example by means of capsule filling machines.
- the capsules in this case have a lower part and an upper part, wherein the machine fills the lower part with the drug and in a next step, the upper part is slipped over the lower part.
- contamination of the machine may occur.
- the capsule filling machines are usually provided with a complete panel, wherein in the interior of Kapselfüllmaschine a slight negative pressure prevails to prevent any dangerous substances that are part of the medicine to be filled, get to the outside. Therefore, it is known to arrange stationary spray units inside the capsule filling machine, which are used for cleaning the machine.
- a plurality of spray units must be positioned, in such a way that no or only little spray shadow is formed in which no cleaning of the machine takes place.
- the capsule filling machines may have a relatively complex structure, so that a plurality of spray units must be installed in order to have as little as possible spray shadow. Therefore, the stationary cleaning units are very expensive and expensive.
- the arrangement of a plurality of spray units results in a double cleaning of a plurality of areas, so that consumption of detergent and wastewater is unnecessarily increased.
- the cleaning device according to the invention with the features of the patent claim 1 has the advantage that it significantly reduces the presence of a spray shadow, ie, areas of a machine that can not or can not be cleaned well. Furthermore, the cleaning device according to the invention can ensure that only a small consumption of cleaning medium is necessary and thus also the amount of contaminated wastewater can be reduced.
- the cleaning device comprises a supply unit for supplying a cleaning medium, a cleaning unit, which is connected to the supply unit, and a drive.
- the cleaning unit is mounted on a bearing and arranged rotatably about a rotational axis of the bearing.
- the drive is designed to rotate the cleaning unit about the axis of rotation of the bearing.
- the cleaning unit is rotated during the cleaning operation, wherein the cleaning unit can be rotated by 360 ° or even only by a predetermined smaller angle.
- the inventive idea of rotating the cleaning unit thus spray shadows can be avoided in a cleaning of the machine.
- the cleaning unit preferably comprises a ring element, wherein at least one spray arm with a spray opening for spraying the cleaning medium is arranged on the ring element.
- the ring element is therefore particularly preferably designed as a closed ring.
- the supply line unit further preferably comprises flexible lines, eg hoses.
- the supply unit can also supply the cleaning medium in a direction perpendicular to the cleaning unit, wherein the supply unit is arranged above the cleaning unit and the cleaning medium travels a short distance without guidance in a line between the supply unit and the cleaning unit.
- the cleaning device comprises a Zentrifugprüharm, which is disposed within the cleaning element, and which is separately connected to the supply line unit.
- the Zentrifugprüharm is also rotatably arranged.
- a rotation axis of the Zentrifugprüharms and a rotation axis of the ring member is arranged parallel to each other.
- the two axes of rotation of the Zentrifugprüharms and the ring element do not coincide.
- the central spray arm has the particular advantage that a cleaning of components of the machine is now possible in a simple manner from two sides, since the Zentrifugprüharm can spray in a radial direction to the outside and the ring member can spray in a radial direction inwards.
- the cleaning device comprises a control device which is designed to control a rotation of the ring element independently of a rotation of the Zentrifugprüharms.
- the control device can in particular provide different rotational speeds and / or also provide different directions of rotation of the central spray arm and of the ring element.
- the control device for example, particularly heavily soiled areas of
- Ring element preferably a plurality of spray arms, in particular three spray arms arranged. In this way it can also be ensured that the ring element is not pivoted by 360 °, but only by an angular range which corresponds to the quotient of 360: number of spray arms. For three spray arms, a rotation angle of 120 ° would be sufficient.
- the central spray arm and / or each spray arm of the ring element comprises at a free end a rotation device on which a nozzle for spraying the cleaning medium is arranged.
- a rotation device on which a nozzle for spraying the cleaning medium is arranged.
- a plurality of nozzles are arranged at different positions in the respective longitudinal direction of the spray arms on the Zentrifugprüharm and / or the spray arms of the ring element. This makes it possible that a cleaning is performed on different levels.
- the Zentrifugprüharm is rotatably mounted on a bottom portion of a machine to be cleaned and the ring member is at an upper portion, e.g. a lid, the machine to be cleaned stored. This can be easily independent rotation of the Zentrifugprüharms and the
- the present invention further relates to a filling machine, in particular a capsule filling machine, which in particular fills medicaments or other toxic products, and comprises a cleaning device according to the invention.
- a filling machine in particular a capsule filling machine, which in particular fills medicaments or other toxic products, and comprises a cleaning device according to the invention.
- the filling machine there is preferably a negative pressure, wherein the cleaning device according to the invention can be used without problems even in the presence of a negative pressure in a closed area of the filling machine. This avoids the risk of toxic substances escaping by opening the vacuum area for cleaning.
- the rinsed away during cleaning toxic substances can be disposed of in a simple manner with the wastewater to be disposed of, without any risk to persons or the environment of the machine.

- the capsule filling machine 1 comprises four partially removable walls 9 and a bottom 10 and a lid, which is not shown in the figures.
- an interior 12 is formed, in which a plurality of components 11 are arranged, which take over the filling of the capsules. These components 11 are to be cleaned after filling a batch to remove impurities and / or contamination of the components 11.
- the capsule filling machine 1 after cleaning again for a new use, for example, another drug to be filled, usable.
- a negative pressure in the interior 12 is usually generated during filling.
- a supply unit 3 and a cleaning unit 2 are further arranged.
- the cleaning unit 2 includes, as shown in Figure 3, a circumferential ring member 20 which is disposed in an upper portion of the inner space 12.
- a first spray arm 21, a second spray arm 22 and a third spray arm 23 is arranged on the ring member 20, a first spray arm 21, a second spray arm 22 and a third spray arm 23 is arranged.
- the three spray arms are perpendicular to a plane in which the ring element is located, directed downward.
- Each of the three spray arms 21, 22, 23 comprises at its free end a rotation element 21a, 22a, 23a on which a respective nozzle 6 is arranged.
- a plurality of further nozzles 6 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the spray arms 21, 22, 23, which are arranged in different radial directions on the spray arm.
- the cleaning unit 2 further comprises a Monsprüharm 24, which is arranged in the interior of the ring member 20.
- the central spray arm 24 is arranged rotatably on a rotary disk 8.
- the Gottsprüharm 24 rotates about a rotation axis D2.
- the ring element 20 is connected via a first connecting line 7a and a second connecting line 7b with a central to the ring member 20 arranged bearing 5.
- the bearing 5 essentially comprises a bush in which a shaft is mounted. At a middle region of the bearing 5, a connection 51 is arranged, via which the cleaning medium is supplied by means of the supply line unit 3.
- connection 51 is connected via a hose 32 to a pumping and storage unit 30 for storing the cleaning medium.
- separate lines each go to the first connecting line 7a and on the other hand to the second connecting line 7b, which then feed the cleaning medium into the ring element 20.
- the bearing 5 is rotatably suspended on the cover, not shown, of the machine, so that the ring element 20, as through the
- Double arrow B indicated in Figure 2 can rotate in two directions.
- the drive 4 with toothed belt and the pump and storage unit 30 with the hoses 31 and 32 are not shown in FIG.
- a drive 4 is provided which, via a toothed belt 40, is engaged with a toothing 41 provided at one end of the shaft of the bearing 5 in order to rotate the drive 4 on the shaft and over the connecting lines 7a, 7b to transfer to the ring member 20.
- the drive 4 is for example an electric motor. It should be noted that preferably for reasons of improved stability, the two connecting lines 7a and 7b are arranged such that they face each other on the shaft.
- the drive 4 the toothed belt 40 drive forward and backward, so that rotation of the ring member 20 in both directions is possible.
- the pump and storage unit 30 is further connected via a hose 31 to the Zentrifugprüharm 24.
- the Monsprüharm 24 rotates, as indicated by the arrow C in Figure 2, only in one direction.
- an axis of rotation D1 of the ring element 20 and an axis of rotation D2 of the central spray arm 24 diverge.
- the two axes of rotation Dl and D2 are in this case arranged parallel to one another.
- FIG. 4 shows in section the transfer of the cleaning medium from the hose 31 to the rotatably arranged central spray arm 24.
- the Konsprüharm 24 has at its upper portion a flange-like extension 24a, which is located at a small distance in the radial direction to the tube 31.
- the tube 31 is slightly inserted into the flange-like extension 24a.
- the Zentrifugprüharm 24 can rotate freely and still carry out a transfer of the cleaning medium, without a constant leakage in the free area between the Monsprüharm 24 and the tube 31 occurs.
- a diameter of the ring element 20 is chosen such that the ring element is as large as possible and close to the protective walls 9 of the Kapselfüllma- machine 1 is located. In this way it can be ensured that most of the components 11 to be cleaned of the capsule filling machine are located radially inside the ring element 20.
- the spray arms 21, 22, 23 of the ring element 20 can spray in the radial direction from outside to inside, wherein the spray direction can also be changed by the rotation elements 21a, 22a, 23a of the spray arms 21, 22, 23 or the spray direction during the cleaning process continuously changes, as the rotation elements turn automatically by the pressure of the cleaning agent.
- the spraying direction of the central spray arm 24 is mainly from inside to outside, so that the components to be cleaned 11 are sprayed from different directions. This can ensure that during the cleaning no spray shadow, ie, a region of the capsule filling machine, which can not be sprayed with the cleaning medium, occurs.
- a control device, not shown, of the cleaning unit 2 can in this case execute the driving of the ring element 20 and the central spray arm 24 such that a rotation is carried out with the same or different speeds or a rotation is made only over predetermined angular ranges.
- a control device, not shown, of the cleaning unit 2 can in this case execute the driving of the ring element 20 and the central spray arm 24 such that a rotation is carried out with the same or different speeds or a rotation is made only over predetermined angular ranges.
- rotation of the ring member 20 may be at an angle of
- each of the spray arms 21, 22, 23 covers a sector of 120 °, so that after spraying the 120 ° sector, a reversal of the direction of rotation can take place.
- the control device can ensure that the cleaning medium can also be applied specifically to particularly heavily soiled areas, in an extreme case interrupting a
- Rotary movement can be made. For less polluted areas, however, a speed of movement of the cleaning unit can be increased. Also by the self-rotating elements 21a, 22a, 23a at the end of the spray arms 21, 22, 23 ensures that the components 11 of the capsule filling machine can be sprayed from various directions.
- a cleaning of the capsule filling machine can be done much faster, so that downtime of the machine due to cleaning of the machine can be reduced. Also, by avoiding spray a significantly improved cleaning effect can be achieved. Furthermore, the cleaning device according to the invention also allows that the cleaning agent to be used can be minimized, which also makes a reduced amount of wastewater, which can be contaminated after cleaning, possible.
