- the cleaning module can be used solely for cleaning the conveyor belt.
- Other components of the transport module can be cleaned with the cleaning module as well become like other functional modules of the reverse vending machine.
- the cleaning module is designed as a separate unit and must be used manually for cleaning in the machine. There is the risk that the cleaning module will be misplaced.
- due to the manual intervention there is no possibility of an automatic, for example, the degree of contamination or the operating time-dependent cleaning of the reverse vending machine.
- Object of the present invention is to develop a device and a method for cleaning a reverse vending machine such that the cleaning of one or a plurality of modules further simplified and without manual intervention is possible.

- the particular advantage of the invention is that a pressurized fluid, for example a washing fluid or a rinsing fluid, one or a plurality of distributed in the reverse vending machines arranged assemblies can be fed.
- the supply means may in this case be designed, for example, as a line system with one or a plurality of outlet openings for the fluid.
- the fluid can thus reach in a simple manner at almost any point of the reverse vending machines.
- the pressure-generating device can be arranged centrally, for example in the vicinity of a supply container providing the fluid. Furthermore, the pressure generating device can be actuated via a central drive unit. The cleaning device thereby builds small and compact.
- the cleaning device can also be constructed in a modular manner that different Funktiöhsmodule can be cleaned depending on the configuration, type and / or purpose of the reverse vending machine.
- a standardized pressure generating device can be used by providing different variants of feeding means for forming a large variety of cleaning devices. Due to the thus achieved usability of a standardized pressure generating device, this can be manufactured particularly economically in large quantities.

- the spray cone can in this case be shaped so that a predefined cleaning area is formed depending on the geometry of the spray nozzle and the distance between the assemblies to be cleaned and the spray nozzle.
- the amount of fluid required for a cleaning process can be low. This leads to economic advantages.
- the introduction of small quantities of fluid reduces the risk of damaging the reverse vending machine, for example, by corrosion or by penetration of moisture into an electronic component, for example a sensor or a control unit.

- the coupling unit is designed as a freewheel such that upon actuation of the drive unit in a normal operation, the pressure generating device is not activated and that upon actuation of the drive unit in a cleaning operation, the pressure generating device is activated.
- the drive unit can thereby be used, for example, in normal operation for driving a conveyor belt, which is arranged in a transport module for transporting the return containers. The same drive unit can operate the pressure generating device in the cleaning operation.
- the drive unit rotates in the normal operation, for example in a clockwise direction, the return container is conveyed in a transport direction on the conveyor belt.
- the freewheel in this case ensures a decoupling of the pressure generating device, that is, the drive movement is not transmitted to the pressure generating device.
- the drive unit then turns counterclockwise.
- the freewheel transmits the movement of the drive unit to the pressure generating device.
- the conveyor belt is moved against the transport direction. Simultaneous transport of the return container in the transport direction and the operation of the pressure generating device is not provided in this case.
