Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container cell according to the preamble of claim 1, to a container basket according to the preamble of claim 14 and to a method of manufacturing container cells according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • Container or bottle cells as part of container or bottle baskets in container or false cleaning machines are known and serve there for receiving containers during transport with a transport system formed by a plurality of container or bottle baskets through the various cleaning and treatment zones of the respective container - or bottle washing machine ( DE 195 42 673 A1 ).
  • container or bottle cells or their walls or cell shells from a cylindrical or polygonal-shaped section and an adjoining, tapering section (mouth region), wherein the cell sheath at least over a larger part of the container cell length of a Sheet metal exists.
  • the DE 86 33 675.4 deals with bottle cells.
  • this document presents a bottle cell made of plastic, this bottle cell is equipped with a border to reinforce the container inlet opening of the bottle cell.
  • the surround is made of metal and is equipped with beads to stiffen and increase the strength.
  • the DE 1 024 831 deals with bottle cells.
  • This document presents bottle cells, which consist of two metal sheets. By a separation and a bending process, one half of a bottle cell is formed from the originally flat metal sheet. By assembling two such halves, a complete bottle cell is formed. By merging a larger number of such bottle cells, a bottle carrier is formed.
  • the DE 1 024 831 proposes only the use of simple steel sheet with regard to the production of such bottle cells, wherein higher strengths and / or further measures for weight reduction are not provided.
  • a disadvantage of known container cells inter alia, that they or their cell mantle having a relatively large mass and thus a relatively high heat capacity. This results in the operation of a container cleaning machine due to the temperature differences between the different treatment zones and the resulting constant heating and cooling of the container cells during transport through the treatment zones to significant energy losses.
  • the object of the invention is to show a container cell having a sufficiently high mechanical and thermal stability as well as the possibility of simplified production of the cell sheath a reduced heat capacity. Furthermore, in the context of the present invention, the aim is to reduce the mass of a container cell in order to further reduce the energy loss.
  • a container cell is designed according to claim 1.
  • a container basket consisting of a cell carrier and a plurality of container cells is the subject of patent claim 14.
  • a method for producing container cells is the subject matter of patent claim 15.
  • the container cell according to the invention which can be produced from sheet metal, for example by punching and bending, connects by their special design in a surprising manner, the advantages of a simplified production, an optimally selectable for the cleaning and treatment of the container shape and high mechanical and thermal stability in particular the advantage of a reduced mass and heat capacity and, associated therewith, a substantial energy saving in the operation of a container cleaning machine equipped with the container cells according to the invention, by use a high-strength metal sheet, for example a steel sheet with profiles in predetermined areas.
  • the profiling of the metal sheet can be realized in a variety of ways, for example by beads, ribs, embossments, etc.
  • the profiling is not only in terms of their course, their shape, etc. to the shape of the respective container cell or Adjusted cell shell, but also partially or locally performed differently on different areas of the cell wall, in such a way that the partially or locally very different loads that a container cell is exposed during operation of a container cleaning machine, is taken into account optimally by the reinforcing profiling ,
  • a metal sheet is used as the starting material, which is tailor-made for the respective container cell with the profiling, ie the profiling is already on the starting material in terms of their nature, shape, size, arrangement and / or their course so (also partially or locally different) provided that it has after stamping and bending or molding of the starting material on the container cell or at the local, to be reinforced by the profiling areas each required for each area training in terms of type, shape, size, arrangement and / or course, for example different in different areas of the cell wall.
  • custom-made sheets also known under the term "tailored blanks" is provided according to the invention.
  • These customized sheets consist of at least two components, which have different properties such as different material grades and / or material thicknesses and / or geometric dimensions, and by a joining method, for example, welding were connected to each other. Due to the interaction of the at least two components, these result in their sum in a profiled sheet which, however, can be additionally provided, for example, with beads or ribs by the methods described above.
  • the Indian FIG. 1 generally designated 1 container basket consists essentially of a preferably made of corrosion-resistant sheet steel, box-like cell carrier 2 and a plurality of bottle or container cells 3, which are respectively used in recordings 2.1 of the cell carrier 2 suitable and held on this example by locking twist-proof and firmly positioned ,
  • the container basket 1 is part of a container cleaning machine, not shown, for cleaning bottles or similar bottle-like containers and in particular part of a transport system of the container cleaning machine, which has a plurality of similar container baskets 1, each with its cell carriers 2 at both ends with mounting tabs 2.2 on rotating transport elements, for example are held on circulating transport chains and with which the containers to be cleaned are moved through cleaning and treatment zones of the cleaning machine.
  • the general shape of the container cells 3 is adapted as optimally as possible to the shape of the containers or bottles to be cleaned, ie the wall 4 (cell jacket) of each container cell 3 consists of two tubular, adjoining sections 4.1 and 4.2 and of a truncated cone tapering section 4.3, following section 4.2.
  • the container cell 3 In the area of sections 4.1 and 4.2, the container cell 3 has a substantially polygonal or square outer and inner cross section with rounded corners.
  • Against the section 4.3 is the respective, received in the container cell 3 container with its mouth area.
  • the peculiarity of the container cells 3 is that they are made of a very thin high strength sheet metal, e.g. Steel sheet (for example, stainless steel sheet) are made, in the illustrated embodiment in the entire region of the cell wall or its wall 4 with a metal sheet whose thickness is 0.7 mm, but preferably is well below 0.7 mm, for example only about 0.5 mm, so as to keep the total mass and thus the heat capacity of the container cells 3 as small as possible.
  • Steel sheet for example, stainless steel sheet
  • the wall 4 of the container cells 3 is at least at the critical regions, i. at such areas, which are subjected to an increased load under the action of force in the operation of a container cleaning machine, reinforced by a suitable structuring of the metal sheet.
  • the FIG. 1 shows such reinforcements in the form of beads 7 - 10, which are introduced by embossing or rolling in the metal sheet, namely the beads 7, 8 and 9, which are each annularly designed to enclose the longitudinal axis of the container cell 3, at the edge region of the opening 5 (FIG. Rib 7), between the upper and lower end of the container cell 3 and at the bottom of the above the cell carrier 2 projecting section 4.1 (rib 8) and at the lower end of the section 4.3 (rib 9). Furthermore, 3 extending beads are introduced into the metal sheet of the wall 4 in the longitudinal direction of the container cell, as shown in the FIG. 1 is indicated with the beads 10.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show further possibilities of reinforcing the container cell 3 by profiling.
  • the wall indicated by 4a is stiffened by ribs or beads 11 and 12, which in turn are introduced by embossing or rolling into the metal sheet, specifically in the illustrated embodiment such that these ribs extend over a common surface side of the non-deformed regions 13 protrude from the metal sheet.
  • the ribs or beads 11 and 12 are further introduced so that the longitudinal extension of the ribs or beads 11 with the longitudinal extent of the ribs or beads 12 forms an angle, for example, the ribs or beads 11 perpendicular or transverse to the ribs or beads 12, for example a plurality of ribs or beads 12 are provided between two ribs or beads 11, and that all ribs or beads 11 and also all ribs or beads 12 are each oriented with their longitudinal extent in a common direction or substantially common direction, for example ribs or beads 11th in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the respective container cell 3 and the ribs or beads 12 in the circumferential direction of this container cell.
  • the side of the metal sheet over which the ribs or beads 11 and 12 protrude then forms e.g. the outer surface of the respective container cell 3, so that the open side of the ribs or beads 11 and 12 within the container cells 3 form additional flow paths, via which can flow during cleaning cleaning medium or drain.
  • FIG. 3 shows a wall 4b, wherein the metal sheet forming this wall has a multi-corrugated structure with a plurality of, for example, pillow-like or dome-like projections 14 which are produced by embossing of the metal sheet and on a common side of the originally flat prior to embossing Protruding metal sheet.
  • the wall 4b can also be structured in such a way that it has projections 14 projecting over both the outside and the inside of the container cell.
  • FIG. 4 shows as a further embodiment, a wall 4 c, which is made of a metal sheet, which is embossed by rolling, in such a way that the wall 4 c forming the metal sheet is provided on at least one surface side with intersecting web-like regions or ribs 15 and 16, the form a lattice-like structure substantially determining the mechanical strength of the container cells 3, in which the regions 17 between the ribs 15 and 16 are designed with a particularly small sheet thickness, for example with a sheet thickness even less than 0.5 mm.
  • a group of the ribs, for example the ribs 15, extend for example in the longitudinal direction of the container cells 3, while the ribs 16 of the other group run in the circumferential direction of the container cells 3.
  • the metal sheet forming the wall 4c tailor-made for the tank cells 3, i. with regard to their profiling (eg arrangement, shape, also cross-sectional shape, shape, size of the ribs 15 and 16) of the shape of the container cells 3 according to form optimally, for example in such a way that in the longitudinal direction of the container cells 3 extending ribs 15 in their shape and / or their course are adapted to the shape of the container cells 3, and of course with appropriate adaptation of the ribs 16 and taking into account also the possible manner partially different loading of the container cells.
  • profiling eg arrangement, shape, also cross-sectional shape, shape, size of the ribs 15 and 16
  • FIG. 5 shows in partial representation a container cell 18 in the region of its upper, open end, which differs from the container cells 3 in that the container cell 18 at least in their tubular, so far the sections 4.1 and 4.2 corresponding sections of a tailor made for the container cells 18 by metal sheet Punching and bending is made.
  • the metal sheet forming the respective wall 19 is made of a starting material (metal sheet) using a suitable molding technique, eg hydroforming, Rolling, embossing, etc.
  • the container cells 18 are made of the blank material provided with the projections 20-23, the beads 25, etc., respectively by punching out at least one blank having these projections, beads, etc. and then bending this blank to the three-dimensional container cell 18, wherein the edge portions 26 adjacent each other after bending are appropriately connected to each other.
  • the manufacture of the container cells from custom-made profiled sheets has u.a. the advantage that the profiling can be optimally provided in terms of their shape and / or arrangement of the container cells 18, and in particular partially different and not only for the stiffening, but also for other functions, for example, for an optimal connection of the container cells 18 with Cell carriers etc.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show in a partial representation further examples of a wall 19a or 19b for container cells 18, which (walls) are produced by a tailoring profiling of the metal sheet used as starting material, namely at the wall 18a of FIG. 6 in the form that this wall is reinforced at the edge region surrounding the opening 24 by a peripheral rib 27 projecting beyond the outside of the container cells 18 and into this rib 27 further ribs 28 extending in the longitudinal direction of the container cells 18 open at their upper end wherein the ribs 28 protrude beyond the ribs 27.
  • FIG. 7 shows a similar embodiment of the tailor-made structuring of the wall 19b, however, in the form that the ribs 27 and 28 each have the same height or protrude by the same amount over the outside of the container cells 18.
  • All versions have in common that the wall of the container cells 3 and 18 each consist of a thin high-strength metal sheet, for example made of sheet steel and is reinforced by corresponding profiling at least in some areas, and that by the thin-walled design of the container cells 3 and 18, the mass of these Container cells and thus their heat capacity is kept small.
