  • the lance 221 has retracted into the container 103 and has passed or introduced the medium.
  • the carriage 280 is in this state close to the stop 264, wherein the control roller can either contact with the cam 231 or not in contact therewith and is pressed by the spring element against the control cam 231 or the stop. This is equivalent to the fact that the distance of the control cam 231 to the rotation axis R of the carousel in accordance with FIG. 1 is smallest (see also Fig. 4e ).
  • the lance is now pulled piecewise or continuously out of the container 103.
  • the lance part 223 has to be moved away from the container 103 along the tube 220.
  • the driving part 222 must be moved away from the container.
  • the arm 226 must be moved toward the tube 220. This is achieved by the control roller is moved away by the control cam 231 of the rotational axis R of the carousel, against the spring tension of the spring element. In the in Figure 4c illustrated situation 250 'is therefore the distance of the control cam 231 to the axis of rotation R of the carousel is greater than the distance in the in FIG. 4a illustrated situation.
  • the carriage was also moved away from the stop 264 (along the support), so that the arm 226 was rotated about the joint 243 (for example, a ball joint) and moved to the illustrated, erected position.
  • the joint 243 for example, a ball joint
  • the drive part 222 there was a movement of the drive part 222, so that the lance part is indirectly driven and the lance is moved out of the container.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the indirect magnetic drive means.
  • FIG. 5a a cross section through the tube, as shown schematically in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • the tube 220 can have any cross-section, which can be square or round, for example, in the embodiment according to FIG. 5 a round inner cross section of the tube 220 is provided.
  • the lance part 223 of the indirect magnetic drive means for the lance 221 is arranged within the tube.
  • the lance part 223 is shown here as a hollow cylinder, which via connecting elements 460 with the lance 221st is firmly connected.
  • the lance part 223 need not be formed as a hollow cylinder, it may also be composed of individual elements. Thus, for example, one or more cuboidal elements may be provided, which are arranged in the tube 220, along a guide. These are then connected in each case via connecting elements 460 with the lance 221.
  • the drive part 222 of the indirect magnetic drive element in FIG. 5a also arranged as a hollow cylinder completely around the tube 220. In the embodiment according to FIG. 5 it is necessary that the driving part 222 completely surrounds the tube 220.
  • the outer cross section of the tube 220 and the inner cross section of the drive member 222 need not be round as shown, but so canting can be avoided.
  • FIG. 5b shows a schematic view of the inner portion of the tube 220, wherein the tube 220 and the drive part 222 of the indirect magnetic drive means are here only dashed and transparent represent, so as not to endanger the clarity.
  • the lance part 223 is shown schematically by means of two cuboids.
  • the lance part 223 is connected via guide elements 451 to a guide 450 arranged inside the tube 220. This can be designed as a helical line.
  • the up and down movement of the drive part 222 outside of the tube 220 can be superimposed on a rotational movement of the lance part 223 corresponding to the shape of the guide 450.
  • the guide 450 does not have to be formed as a helical line, but may, for example, also comprise straight sections and differently curved sections.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous when cleaning the container with cleaning medium, since the lance and in particular one or the outlet openings, which are introduced into the container, according to the invention can be rotated. If, for example, a plurality of outlet openings are arranged on the circumference of the lance, then they can treat by rotation the inner surface of the container at different exit angles of the medium. This can ensure that the cleaning is as complete and effective as possible, especially since flexible bags, for example, wrinkles can be treated from different angles with the cleaning medium.
  • the rotation of the lance or outlets for the medium may be desired only within the container, it may be provided that during movement of the lance onto the container to the guide 450 comprises a straight portion which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube 220 and a shape corresponding to a screw thread (helix) only in the area in which the lance member 223 must be rotated to also allow rotation of the lance while at least partially inserted in the container.
  • guide elements 451 are preferably formed lubricant-free, in order to prevent contamination of the opening area and in particular the inner region of the container.
  • guide elements 451 are preferably formed lubricant-free, in order to prevent contamination of the opening area and in particular the inner region of the container.
  • four-point ball bearings can be used.
  • the tube may also be dispensed with and only one guide for the lance portion of the indirect magnetic drive means may be provided instead of the tube by moving the drive member by means of one of the drives described above, an indirect drive of the lance member and the associated lance can be realized.
  • the lance part Since the lance part is only indirectly connected together with the lance to the drive part of the indirect magnetic drive means, there is a risk that the lance part will fall down together with the lance due to the gravitational force acting on it.
  • the lance part can be pretensioned analogously to the drive part by a spring element which can be arranged, for example, in the tube. This can also serve a flexible hose, which is connected to the reservoir and the lance and through which the medium to be introduced into the container is passed.
  • the field strength of the prevailing between the first and the driving part of the magnetic field can be chosen so that it can compensate for the forces acting on the lance and the lance part gravitational force and "float" these elements.
