Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray device explained in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
  • Such a spray device is from the US-A-6 523 551 known.
  • the known spray device contains inner and outer nozzles, which however act on the container from different sides.
  • the inner nozzle injects from below into the opening of the overhead container and the outer nozzle squirts from the top of the bottom of the container.
  • the BE-A-679 892 shows a spray device with outer and inner nozzles, wherein both types of nozzles are arranged below the overhead hanging container.
  • the nozzles are formed as fixed openings of a fixed wall of a pressure channel, wherein the inner nozzle are arranged centrally below the container opening and the outer nozzles around the central inner nozzle.
  • the spraying device contains a plurality of nozzles which track the nozzle jet cam-controlled along the conveying direction of the bottles.
  • the nozzles are the orifices of through-holes through a nozzle shaft rotatably seated on a manifold containing a through bore communicating with an injection channel and with the nozzle shaft.
  • the nozzle shaft rotates over the manifold bore, so that whenever the nozzle bore is aligned with the manifold bore, a spray jet is created which enters the bottle through the mouth of the bottle for internal cleaning.
  • the external cleaning of the bottles is either by different immersion baths or by, in particular in the rinse cycle, from above, i. to the bottom of the bottles, impinging fluids.
  • this exterior cleaning the mouth of the bottles can not always be cleaned satisfactorily.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve the external cleaning of containers, in particular in the region of the mouth opening.
  • Inner and outer nozzles preferably sit on a common nozzle shaft and thus via a single device, preferably a cam control, can be driven.
  • two external spray nozzles are preferred, which preferably operate in mirror image with respect to one another.
  • prefabricated nozzle pairs are particularly simple, each comprising an outer and an inner injection nozzle, which are each provided on a common nozzle shaft. If these pairs of spray nozzles are then arranged in mirror image with respect to one another, then two spray jets directed into the interior of the container and two directed on opposite outer sides.
  • the external cleaning can be further improved by the spray jet from the outer spray nozzle is adjusted so that it extends beyond the axial length of the container, falls back from above the bottom of the container and then, following the contour of the bottle outer wall, back to running down, so that in the area of the mouth opposite water flows arise, which have a good cleaning effect.
  • a spray device 1 which are part of a cleaning system 2 for container 3, bottles are formed.
  • the cleaning device 2 includes a conveyor 4, which moves in the conveying direction F through the system.
  • the conveyor 4 contains holders 5 for the containers 3, with which the containers 3 are transported overhead, ie with the opening 3a pointing downwards.
  • the brackets 5 bottle baskets.
  • the spray device 1 includes a plurality of nozzles 6, which are transverse to the conveying direction F side by side so that the container 3 from each of the nozzles 6 can be achieved by a spray jet.
  • the nozzles 6 contain at least one outer spray nozzle 6a and at least one inner spray nozzle 6i.
  • the outer nozzle 6a and the inner nozzle 6i are formed as through-holes 7 in a nozzle shaft 8 which is rotatably supported in a bearing sleeve 9 which is seated on a manifold 10.
  • the distributor 10 includes through-holes 11 in a distribution space 10 a, wherein the through-holes 11 are formed and arranged to be aligned with the nozzle bores 7 upon rotation of the nozzle shaft 8.
  • the diameter of the distributor bores 11 is greater than that of the nozzle bores 7, so that the nozzle bores 7 remain connected to the distributor chamber 10a over a certain rotational angle range.
  • the distribution chamber 10a communicates via a supply opening 12 with a distribution channel 13 in connection, which supplies all the injection devices.
  • the bearing sleeve 9 is provided in the desired rotation angle range of the injection with an opening 14 through which a spray jet can be discharged.
  • an inner spray nozzle 6i and an outer spray nozzle 6a are each arranged on a common rotary shaft 8.
  • the rotary shaft 8 is rotatably driven, preferably via a cam control 14.
  • the cam control 14 includes cams 15 which are actuated when passing through the container 3 by a driver 16 of the holder 5.
  • the nozzle bores 7 enter and out of alignment with the through holes 11 of the manifold 10 and are thereby supplied with spray liquid, whereby each of the nozzles 6 generates a spray jet 17.
  • one of the nozzles, the outside spray nozzle 6a, a spray jet 17a directed to the outside of the tank at or above the mouth, and the inside spray nozzle 6i should generate a spray jet 17i which can enter the mouth 3a.
  • two pairs of spray nozzles 60A and 60B are provided, each formed with a nozzle shaft 8, an inner nozzle 6i, an outer nozzle 6a, and a cam controller 14.
  • the spray nozzles 6a, 6i are arranged transversely to the conveying direction F, but have the same angular orientation. For reasons of space, both pairs are in the conveying direction F ( Fig. 2 ) arranged one behind the other and mirror-inverted, so that each of the outer nozzles 6a of the two pairs 60A and 60B has a the two opposite container halves sweeps over.
  • the second inner nozzle 6i of one of the two pairs 60A, 60B is not absolutely necessary, but may be formed to act, for example, together with the second inner nozzle in a manner as shown in FIG DE 43 30 335 A1 is described. If a holder is used with which the container 3 can be rotated, so only a pair of an external and an internal spray nozzle is necessary.
  • the distance between the nozzle holes on a nozzle shaft about 20 mm.
  • one or all of the nozzles 6 consist of two nozzle bores 7 which are offset by 90 ° about the axis of the nozzle shaft 8, so that not only two but four spray jets can be generated per revolution of the nozzle shaft.
  • the nozzles can be actuated in many different ways, an embodiment will be described below with reference to the Fig. 3a to 3i be explained.
  • the inner rays 17i are marked with solid lines and the outer rays 17a with dot-dashed rays.
  • Fig. 3a shows the beginning of the Abspritzens a container 3, which enters the spray device 1.
  • only one spray nozzle pair 60A is shown here consisting of two injection nozzles 6a, 6i arranged one behind the other perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the container 3 is first struck by external jets 17a into which the container 3 runs.
  • the spray jet 17a hits the outer wall of the container just above the opening 3a and flows over the outside of the container 3 upwards.
  • the spray jet intensity is adjusted so that the spray jet 17a extends over the axial length of the container 3 and over the bottom, indicated by a cloud of droplets 18 passes.
  • the droplets fall back to the bottom of the container 3 and run down its outer wall until they drip off in the region of the opening 3a and thus rinse all dissolved Konterminleiteren.
  • the container 3 continues to move in the conveying direction F until it reaches a position in which the opening 3a can be reached by the inner nozzle 6i.
  • the inner nozzle 6i starts to inject and directs the jet into the interior of the container 3.
  • the cleaning of the inner wall begins.
  • the outer spray jet 17a is maintained and runs in the illustrated embodiment substantially parallel to the inner spray jet 17i.
  • Fig. 3c the central position is reached, in which the spray jets 17i and 17a are directed substantially vertically upward, wherein the droplet cloud 18 of the external spray jet 17a undergoes its greatest expression.
  • the inner spray jet 17i is about to leave the opening 3a, wherein it is expediently subsequently switched off.
  • the outer beam 17a can, as Fig. 3e shows, stay active.
  • the operation of the spray device with two spray nozzle pairs 60A, 60B is analogous, but since the pairs 60A, 60B are offset by a certain distance in the conveying direction F, the operating intervals are also offset by suitable control.
  • two external spray nozzles are combined with a single internal spray nozzle on a common rotary shaft to achieve a complete all-round cleaning, and the spray jet 17a and 17i synchronously squirt.
  • the control of the spray nozzles shown can be done by other means, also spray nozzles of other construction can be used.
