Description

Gebiet der Erfindung:Field of the invention:

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flaschenzelle aus Metall zur Verwendung in einer Flaschenreinigungsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a bottle cell made of metal for use in a bottle cleaning device.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Für die Reinigung von Flaschen aus Glas oder Kunststoff, beispielsweise PET, in einer Reinigungsmaschine werden die Flaschen in eine Flaschenzelle geschoben, die sich auf einem Flaschenzellenträger befindet, und durch die Reinigungsmaschine transportiert. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Flaschenzellen bekannt, die entweder aus Metall oder aus Kunststoff gebildet sind.For cleaning bottles made of glass or plastic, for example PET, in a cleaning machine, the bottles are pushed into a bottle cell, which is located on a bottle cell carrier, and transported through the cleaning machine. Bottle cells are known from the prior art, which are formed either of metal or plastic.

In Fig. 1 ist beispielsweise ein Querschnitt einer solchen herkömmlichen Flaschenzelle 120 aus Metall mit einer Flaschenhalsaufnahme 100 dargestellt. Die Flaschenhalsaufnahme 100 ist so geformt, dass sie eine Flasche im Bereich ihrer Öffnung beim Reinigungsvorgang kopfüber lose hält.In Fig. 1 For example, a cross-section of such a conventional bottle cell 120 of metal with a bottle neck receptacle 100 is shown. The bottle neck receptacle 100 is shaped so that it holds a bottle upside down loosely in the region of its opening during the cleaning process.

Insbesondere weist die Flaschenzelle 120 eine Flaschenaufnahmeseite bzw. ein flaschenaufnahmeseitiges Ende 122 und ein kopfseitiges Ende 121 auf. Über die Flaschenaufnahmeseite 122 wird die Flasche 130 in die Flaschenzelle 120 eingeschoben. Am kopfseitigen Ende 121 der Flaschenzelle 120 befindet sich die Flaschenhalsaufnahme 100, die üblicherweise die Flasche im Bereich ihrer Öffnung beim Transport durch die Reinigungsmaschine vor Beschädigung schützt. Dies gilt jedoch nicht für den Flaschenkörper. Die Flasche 130 füllt im Regelfall den Innenraum der Flaschenzelle 120 einerseits nicht vollständig aus und hat so einen gewissen Abstand 140 zur Innenseite der Flaschenzelle 120 aus Metall. Da andererseits die Flasche im Bereich ihrer Öffnung in der Flaschenhalsaufnahme nicht festgelegt ist, kann sie sich in der Flaschenzelle bewegen und so beim Transport durch die Reinigungsmaschine in Kontakt mit dem Metall der Flaschenzelle 120 kommen. Ferner kann die Flasche auch beim Einlegen in und Entnehmen aus der Flaschenzelle in Kontakt mit dem Metall kommen. Durch den Kontakt mit dem Metall kann der Flaschenkörper beschädigt werden.In particular, the bottle cell 120 has a bottle-receiving side and a bottle-receiving-side end 122 and a head-side end 121, respectively. Via the bottle receiving side 122, the bottle 130 is inserted into the bottle cell 120. At the head end 121 of the bottle cell 120 is the bottle neck receptacle 100, which usually protects the bottle in the region of its opening during transport through the cleaning machine from damage. However, this does not apply to the bottle body. On the one hand, the bottle 130 as a rule does not completely fill the interior of the bottle cell 120 and thus has a certain distance 140 to the inside of the bottle cell 120 made of metal. On the other hand, since the bottle is not fixed in the region of its opening in the bottle neck receptacle, it can move in the bottle cell and thus come into contact with the metal of the bottle cell 120 during transport through the cleaning machine. Furthermore, can The bottle also come in contact with the metal when inserting into and removing from the bottle cell. Contact with the metal can damage the body of the bottle.

Die Nachteile der Flaschenzellen, die aus Kunststoff gebildet sind, bestehen darin, dass diese gegenüber den Flaschenzellen aus Metall weniger robust sind und eine geringere Stabilität aufweisen. Der Verschleiß bei Flaschenzellen aus Kunststoff ist hoch. Auch können sich Teile, z.B. Glassplitter, im Kunststoff einlagern und dann Flaschen beschädigen. Die Flaschenzellen aus Kunststoff müssen oft ausgetauscht werden.The disadvantages of the bottle cells, which are formed from plastic, are that they are less robust than the bottle cells made of metal and have a lower stability. The wear on plastic bottle cells is high. Also, parts, e.g. Broken glass, store in plastic and then damage bottles. The bottle cells made of plastic often need to be replaced.

Beschreibung der Erfindung:Description of the invention:

Angesichts der Nachteile des Stands der Technik ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung diese Nachteile zu vermeiden. Einerseits sollen Beschädigungen der zu reinigenden Flasche durch Kontakt des Flaschenkörpers mit dem Metall der Flaschenzelle vermieden werden. Andererseits sollen die Flaschenzellen stabil sein, so dass sie nicht so häufig ausgetauscht werden müssen.In view of the disadvantages of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages. On the one hand, damage to the bottle to be cleaned by contact of the bottle body with the metal of the bottle cell should be avoided. On the other hand, the bottle cells should be stable, so they do not need to be changed so often.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the subject matter of patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Flaschenzelle aus Metall weist eine Auskleidung auf, die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gebildet ist.The bottle cell made of metal according to the invention has a lining, which is preferably formed from plastic.

Die Auskleidung kann hierbei die Flaschenzelle vollständig oder teilweise auskleiden. Die Auskleidung muss derart gebildet sein, dass ein Kontakt zwischen Flaschenkörper und Metall der Flaschenzelle vermieden wird.The lining can in this case completely or partially line the bottle cell. The lining must be formed in such a way that contact between the bottle body and the metal of the bottle cell is avoided.

Die Auskleidung der Flaschenzelle ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gebildet. Alternativ lassen sich allerdings auch andere Materialen einsetzen solange sichergestellt ist, dass Flaschen nicht beschädigt werden, wenn sie fortwährend mit diesem Material in Kontakt kommen.The lining of the bottle cell is preferably made of plastic. Alternatively, however, other materials can be used as long as it is ensured that bottles are not damaged if they continually come into contact with this material.

Sowohl beim Einlegen der Flasche in die Flaschenzelle, als auch bei späteren Bewegungen der Flasche in der Flaschenzelle während des Reinigungsvorgangs, als auch beim Entnehmen aus der Flaschenzelle, kommt die Flasche durch die Auskleidung nicht in Kontakt mit dem Metall der Flaschenzelle selbst.Both when inserting the bottle into the bottle cell, as well as later movements of the bottle in the bottle cell during the cleaning process, as well as when removing from the bottle cell, the bottle does not come through the liner in contact with the metal of the bottle cell itself.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Auskleidung in der Flaschenzelle dauerhaft befestigt sein, so dass die Auskleidung aus der Flaschenzelle nicht herausnehmbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Stabilität der Flaschenzelle erhöht wird, indem die Auskleidung und die Flaschenzelle eine feste Einheit bilden.According to a preferred development of the invention described above, the lining can be permanently fixed in the bottle cell, so that the lining can not be removed from the bottle cell. This has the advantage that the stability of the bottle cell is increased by the lining and the bottle cell form a solid unit.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Auskleidung in der Flaschenzelle so befestigt sein, dass die Auskleidung herausnehmbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bereits vorhandene Flaschenzellen in Reinigungsmaschinen leicht umgerüstet werden können, indem die Auskleidung eingesetzt und wieder ausgewechselt werden kann.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, the lining in the bottle cell can be fastened so that the lining can be removed. This has the advantage that existing bottle cells in cleaning machines can be easily converted by the liner can be used and replaced.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Auskleidung derart ausgebildet sein, dass die Flaschenzelle im Zellinneren vollflächig ausgekleidet wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Flaschenzelle Flaschen verschiedener Größe aufnehmen kann. Die aufgenommene Flasche kommt immer nur mit der Auskleidung aber nicht mit dem Metall der Flaschenzelle in Kontakt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention described above, the lining can be designed such that the bottle cell is lined in the cell interior over its entire surface. This has the advantage that the bottle cell can accommodate bottles of different sizes. The recorded bottle always comes into contact only with the lining but not with the metal of the bottle cell.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Auskleidung die Flaschenzelle nur teilweise auskleiden und so ausgebildet sein, dass sie wenigstens drei Stege aufweist, die derart vorgesehen sind, dass sie sich in der Flaschenzelle in Längsrichtung derselben erstrecken. Der Begriff Erstrecken in Längsrichtung bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass sich die Stege vom kopfseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle in Richtung des flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Endes der Flaschenzelle erstrecken können. Die wenigstens drei Stege müssen im Inneren der Flaschenzelle so angeordnet sein, dass ein Kontakt zwischen Flaschenkörper und Metall der Flaschenzelle trotz der möglichen Bewegung der Flasche in der Flaschenzelle vermieden wird.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, the lining may only partially line the bottle cell and be formed so that it has at least three webs, which are provided such that they extend in the bottle cell in the longitudinal direction thereof. The term extending in the longitudinal direction in this context means that the webs can extend from the head-side end of the bottle cell in the direction of the bottle-receiving end of the bottle cell. The at least three webs must be arranged inside the bottle cell so that contact between bottle body and metal of the bottle cell is avoided despite the possible movement of the bottle in the bottle cell.

Die Anzahl von drei Stegen ist dabei als ein Minimum vorzusehen, damit jeglicher Kontakt zwischen Flasche und Metall der Flaschenzelle vermieden wird. Insbesondere bei runden Flaschenzellen kann die Anzahl der Stege drei sein. Die Anzahl der Stege kann auch größer als drei sein, insbesondere vier, um beispielsweise bei quadratischen oder achteckigen Flaschenzellen den Kontakt zwischen Flasche und Seitenwänden der Flaschenzelle zu verhindern. Der Vorteil dieser weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Auskleidung effizienter gebildet ist, indem Material gespart wird.The number of three webs is to be provided as a minimum, so that any contact between the bottle and metal of the bottle cell is avoided. Especially with round bottle cells, the number of webs can be three. The number of webs can also be greater than three, in particular four, in order to prevent contact between the bottle and side walls of the bottle cell, for example, in the case of square or octagonal bottle cells. The advantage of this further preferred development of the invention described above is that the lining is formed more efficiently by saving material.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung können die wenigstens drei Stege so vorgesehen sein, dass sie in der Flaschenzelle an der Seitenfläche derselben anliegen. Bei dieser Weiterbildung sind die Stege in Kontakt mit dem Metall der Seitenfläche der Flaschenzelle. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Stege bei Belastung nicht brechen.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, the at least three webs may be provided so that they rest in the bottle cell on the side surface thereof. In this development, the webs are in contact with the metal of the side surface of the bottle cell. This has the advantage that the webs do not break under load.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung können die wenigstens drei Stege derart vorgesehen sein, dass sie sich über die gesamte Längsrichtung der Flaschenzelle erstrecken. Bei dieser Weiterbildung verlaufen die Stege vom kopfseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle bis zum flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle. Da die Lage der Flaschenschwerpunkte entlang der Längsrichtung der Flaschenzelle variieren können, wird auf diese Weise bei Bewegungen der Flasche in der Flaschenzelle ein Kontakt zwischen Flasche und Metall der Flaschenzelle grundsätzlich vermieden. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Flaschenzelle verschieden große Flaschen aufnehmen kann und die Auskleidung effizienter gebildet ist.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, the at least three webs may be provided such that they extend over the entire longitudinal direction of the bottle cell. In this development, the webs extend from the head end of the bottle cell to the bottle receiving end of the bottle cell. Since the position of the center of gravity of the bottles can vary along the longitudinal direction of the bottle cell, in this way contact between bottle and metal of the bottle cell is basically avoided during movements of the bottle in the bottle cell. This has the advantage that the bottle cell can accommodate bottles of different sizes and the lining is formed more efficiently.

Gemäß einer anderen bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann an wenigstens einem der Stege eine Befestigungseinrichtung zur Befestigung der Auskleidung an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle vorgesehen sein. Beispielsweise kann eine solche Befestigungseinrichtung aus einer Nut bestehen, in welche die Flaschenaufnahmekante der Flaschenzelle geschoben werden kann. Durch die Befestigung der Auskleidung mittels der Befestigungseinrichtung an wenigstens einem der Stege an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle entsteht ein Formschluss, der verhindert, dass die Auskleidung durch die Bewegungen der Flasche innerhalb der Flaschenzelle gelöst wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Auskleidung in der Flaschenzelle befestigt ist.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention described above may be provided on at least one of the webs a fastening means for fastening the liner to the bottle receiving side end of the bottle cell. For example, such a fastening device consist of a groove into which the bottle receiving edge of the bottle cell can be pushed. By attaching the lining by means of the fastening device on at least one of the webs on the bottle receiving end of the bottle cell, a positive connection is formed, which prevents the lining is released by the movements of the bottle within the bottle cell. This has the advantage that the lining is fixed in the bottle cell.

Vorzugsweise kann bei einer derartigen Weiterbildung an jedem der Stege eine Befestigungseinrichtung zur Befestigung der Auskleidung an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle vorgesehen sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Stabilität der Auskleidung noch weiter erhöht wird, da die Eigenbewegung der Stege in Richtung des Metalls der Flaschenzelle und vom Metall weg unterbunden wird.Preferably, in such a development on each of the webs, a fastening device for fastening the lining to the bottle receiving end of the bottle cell may be provided. This has the advantage that the stability of the lining is further increased because the proper movement of the webs in the direction of the metal of the bottle cell and away from the metal is prevented.

Gemäß einer anderen bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Befestigungseinrichtung so vorgesehen sein, dass die wenigstens drei Stege vom kopfseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle bis zum flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle vorspannbar sind. Bei Belastung biegen sich die Stege nicht durch. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Stege nicht brechen können.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention described above, the fastening means may be provided so that the at least three webs from the head end of the bottle cell to the bottle receiving side end of the bottle cell can be biased. When loaded, the webs do not bend through. This has the advantage that the webs can not break.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung kann die Flaschenzelle an ihrem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende wenigstens eine Kerbe aufweisen, die zur Aufnahme eines Vorsprungs geeignet ist.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, the bottle cell may have at least one notch on its bottle-receiving-side end, which is suitable for receiving a projection.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildung der zuvor beschriebenen Erfindung ist an der Befestigungseinrichtung an dem wenigstens einen der Stege ein Vorsprung ausgebildet, der zum Eingriff in die Kerbe an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle geeignet ist. Dadurch wird die Auskleidung fixiert und eine Bewegung der Stege entlang der Flaschenaufnahmekante der Flaschenzelle wird unterbunden. Dies hat den Vorteil einer erhöhten Stabilität der Auskleidung.According to a further preferred development of the invention described above, a projection is formed on the fastening device on the at least one of the webs, which projection is suitable for engagement in the notch on the bottle receptacle-side end of the bottle cell. As a result, the lining is fixed and movement of the webs along the Bottle receiving edge of the bottle cell is suppressed. This has the advantage of increased stability of the lining.

Die Stege 310 erstrecken sich durchgehend vom kopfseitigen Ende 321 der Flaschenzelle 320 bis zum flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende 322 der Flaschenzelle 320. Die Stege 310 liegen in dieser Ausführungsform an den Seitenflächen der Flaschenzelle an. In Fig. 3 ist ferner eine Befestigungseinrichtung 311 gezeigt. Die Befestigungseinrichtung 311 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass die Enden der Stege an der Flaschenaufnahmeseite der Flaschenzelle eine Nut bilden, so dass das Ende des Stegs um die Flaschenzelle von innen nach außen greift bzw. die Flaschenaufnahmekante der Flaschenzelle in die Nut geschoben wird.In the Figs. 3 and 4 a seventh embodiment of the bottle cell according to the invention is shown. The webs 310 extend continuously from the head-side end 321 of the bottle cell 320 to the bottle-receiving-side end 322 of the bottle cell 320. The webs 310 rest in this embodiment on the side surfaces of the bottle cell. In Fig. 3 Furthermore, a fastening device 311 is shown. The fastening device 311 is configured in such a way that the ends of the webs form a groove on the bottle receiving side of the bottle cell, so that the end of the web around the bottle cell engages from the inside to the outside or the bottle-receiving edge of the bottle cell is pushed into the groove.

In Fig. 4 ist die Draufsicht auf die Flaschenaufnahmeseite 422 der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 dargestellt. In Fig. 4 sind vier Stege 410 abgebildet, die so angeordnet sind, dass die Flasche 430 von den Stegen 410 vom Metall der Flaschenzelle 420 ferngehalten wird.In Fig. 4 FIG. 12 is a plan view of the bottle receiving side 422 of the embodiment according to FIG Fig. 3 shown. In Fig. 4 four webs 410 are shown arranged to keep the bottle 430 away from the webs 420 of the webs 420.

Alternativ hierzu und analog zu der fünften Ausführungsform können die Stege auch in einem Abstand zur Seitenfläche der Flaschenzelle 320 vorgesehen werden.Alternatively, and analogous to the fifth embodiment, the webs may also be provided at a distance from the side surface of the bottle cell 320.

Die Anzahl, Verteilung und Lage der Stege können jeweils dem Querschnitt der Flaschenzelle angepasst werden. Hierbei ist lediglich sicherzustellen, dass eine Flasche, die sich in der Flaschenzelle bewegen kann nur in Kontakt mit den Stegen und nicht in Kontakt mit der Flaschenzelle selbst kommt.The number, distribution and position of the webs can each be adapted to the cross section of the bottle cell. Here it is only necessary to ensure that a bottle that can move in the bottle cell only comes into contact with the bars and not in contact with the bottle cell itself.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Auskleidung gemäß einer achten Ausführungsform mit wenigstens drei Stegen 510 und einer Befestigungseinrichtung 511. Die Befestigungseinrichtung 511 kann an einem oder mehreren Stegen vorgesehen sein. Mit Hilfe der Befestigungseinrichtung 511 kann die Auskleidung an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle befestigt werden. Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of a lining according to an eighth embodiment with at least three webs 510 and a fastening device 511. The fastening device 511 may be provided on one or more webs. With the aid of the fastening device 511, the lining can be fastened to the bottle receptacle-side end of the bottle cell.

Die Befestigungseinrichtung 511 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass die Enden der Stege an der Flaschenaufnahmeseite der Flaschenzelle eine Nut bilden, so dass das Ende des Stegs um die Flaschenzelle von innen nach außen greift bzw. die Flaschenaufnahmekante der Flaschenzelle in die Nut geschoben wird. Auf diese Weise wird ein Formschluss gebildet, über den die vom kopfseitigen Ende der Flaschenzelle bis zur Flaschenaufnahmeseite der Flaschenzelle weitergeführten Stege 510 vorspannbar sind. Die vorgespannten Stege sind dann robuster gegenüber Druckbelastungen und können dann nicht mehr durchgebogen werden. Dadurch wird einerseits die Stabilität der Stege und damit die der Auskleidung erhöht und andererseits brechen die Stege nicht.The fastening device 511 is configured in such a way that the ends of the webs form a groove on the bottle receiving side of the bottle cell, so that the end of the web around the bottle cell engages from the inside to the outside or the bottle-receiving edge of the bottle cell is pushed into the groove. In this way, a positive connection is formed, via which the web-side end of the bottle cell continued to the bottle receiving side of the bottle cell ledges 510 are biased. The prestressed webs are then more robust against pressure loads and can then no longer be bent become. As a result, on the one hand increases the stability of the webs and thus the lining and on the other hand, the webs do not break.

Einer oder mehrere der wenigstens drei Stege werden gemäß einer neunten Ausführungsform der Erfindung in der Weise fixiert, dass eine Bewegung des einen oder der mehreren Stege entlang der Flaschenaufnahmekante unterbunden wird. Wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist, hat die Befestigungseinrichtung 611 hierzu einen Vorsprung 612, der in eine diesen Vorsprung entsprechende Kerbe 623 an dem flaschenaufnahmeseitigen Ende 622 der Flaschenzelle 620 eingreift.One or more of the at least three webs are fixed according to a ninth embodiment of the invention in such a way that movement of the one or more webs along the bottle receiving edge is prevented. As in Fig. 6 For this purpose, the fastening device 611 has a projection 612 which engages in a notch 623 corresponding to this projection on the bottle receptacle-side end 622 of the bottle cell 620.
