Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vibrating tank machine for drying and polishing cutlery.
  • Machines for drying and polishing cutlery after washing it are known. These machines are usually constituted by a box-like support and containment structure, which usually has substantially the shape of a parallelepiped and supports, by means of springs, a treatment tank intended to contain a drying and polishing material and the cutlery to be treated.
  • a motorized vibrating unit usually constituted by an electric motor with eccentric masses, is connected to the treatment tank and can be operated to vibrate the treatment tank so that as a consequence of this vibration the drying and polishing material interacts with the cutlery, drying and polishing it.
  • the treatment tank is open upwardly and is provided internally with a rising channel that extends from the bottom of the treatment tank to an outlet that is defined proximate to the top of the treatment tank and is connected to an unloading outlet.
  • the cutlery to be dried is introduced in the treatment tank through a loading inlet, which is usually defined in the upper part of the support and containment structure that lies above the treatment tank.
  • the cutlery introduced in the treatment tank, advances progressively, together with the drying and polishing material, along the rising channel until it reaches the unloading outlet, through which the dried and polished cutlery is unloaded.
  • the last portion of the rising channel is perforated so as to achieve separation of the drying and polishing material from the cutlery before it is unloaded outside the treatment tank.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a vibrating tank machine for drying and polishing cutlery having such a structure that, for an equal loading capacity, is less bulky and heavy than machines of the known type.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a machine that can be manufactured with costs that are lower than those of currently commercially available machines.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a machine that offers the greatest assurances of safety and reliability in use.
  • a vibrating tank machine for drying and polishing cutlery characterized in that it comprises:
  • the machine according to the invention generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a footing 2, which is provided with resting feet 3 that are intended to rest, when the machine is in the conditions for use, on a substantially horizontal supporting surface.
  • the footing 2 supports a treatment tank 4, which is intended to contain a drying and polishing material, of a known type, for example a material based on corn cobs.
  • the treatment tank 4 is connected to an inlet 5 for loading the cutlery to be dried and polished and to an outlet 6 for unloading the dried and polished cutlery.
  • the treatment tank 4 preferably has a substantially cylindrical shape with a lateral expansion 4a that has a substantially trapezoidal shape and is open upwardly.
  • the unloading outlet 6 is defined in an upper region of the lateral walls of the treatment tank 4.
  • a rising channel 7 is connected to the internal walls of the treatment tank 4 and is extended from the bottom of the treatment tank 4 to the unloading outlet 6 around an axis 8 which, with the machine in the conditions for use, is substantially vertical.
  • a lid 9 is hinged directly to the treatment tank 4 and can rotate about the corresponding pivoting axis 10 with respect to the treatment tank 4 in order to close in an upper region the treatment tank 4 during its normal operation or open it during cleaning or maintenance interventions.
  • the loading inlet 5 is defined in the lid 9 and, when the lid is closed, lies above the lateral expansion 4a of the treatment tank 4.
  • the footing 2 supports the treatment tank 4 by means of elastic suspensions 11, constituted by helical springs, which are interposed between the base of the footing 2 and the bottom of the treatment tank 4.
  • a motorized vibrating unit 12 is fixed to the bottom of the treatment tank 4 and can be constituted, in a per se known manner, by an electric motor with eccentric masses, which can be operated to vibrate the treatment tank 4.
  • An electric resistance heater 13 is fixed to the bottom of the treatment tank 4 and can be supplied with power in order to heat the drying and polishing material introduced in the treatment tank 4.
  • a protective band 14 made of elastically deformable material.
  • the protective band 14 has the function of covering substantially completely the gap that exists between the treatment tank 4 and the footing 2, so as to prevent the user from inserting his/her fingers accidentally in this gap during use of the machine.
  • At least one part of the outer lateral surface of the treatment tank 4, in particular the part located proximate to the electric resistance heater 13, is covered by means of a thermal protection and heat dissipation band 15.
  • the band 15 is conveniently perforated in order to allow adequate heat dissipation.
  • the rising channel 7 is extended along a cylindrical helix around the axis 8 and can have a stepped bottom in order to contrast the descent of the drying and polishing material and of the cutlery.
  • the rising channel 7 has an initial segment that is extended from the bottom of the treatment tank 4 and an end segment 7a which, proximate to the unloading outlet 6, is extended on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis 8 and is at least partly perforated, with holes the dimensions of which are greater than those of the drying and polishing material but smaller than those of the cutlery, so as to allow the fall in a downward region of the drying and polishing material alone upstream of the unloading outlet 6.
  • the end portion of the end segment 7a of the rising channel 7 protrudes from the unloading outlet 6 outside the treatment tank 4 and is shaped like a chute that is inclined downwardly, i.e., toward the footing 2.
  • the lid 9 proximate to the end segment 7a of the rising channel 7, supports, on its lower face, a fan 16, which is oriented so that when it is activated it strikes with a stream of air, oriented in the opposite direction with respect to the unloading outlet 6, the cutlery and the drying and polishing material that are arranged on the end segment 7a of the rising channel 7, thus preventing the drying and polishing material from escaping from the unloading outlet 6 together with the dried and polished cutlery.
  • the parts of the treatment tank 4 that are intended to make contact with the cutlery are made and/or lined with material suitable for contact with food products.
  • the treatment tank 4 is preferably made with a stainless steel base and with the remaining part, as well as the rising channel 7, made of polypropylene.
  • a safety microswitch 17 is connected to the lid 9 and prevents the operation of the machine if the lid 9 is not closed correctly.
  • the lid 9 can be locked in the closed position by means of a nut 18 that engages a screw 19, which protrudes upwardly from the treatment tank 4 at the axis 8, passing through a hole 20 provided for this purpose at the center of the lid 9.
  • the loading inlet 5 is conveniently provided like a hopper so as to facilitate the loading of the cutlery into the treatment tank 4.
  • buttons 21 for turning the machine on or off.
  • the cutlery is loaded into the treatment tank 4 through the loading inlet 5.
  • the cutlery rests in the drying and polishing material introduced beforehand in the treatment tank 4.
  • the activation of the treatment tank 4 with a vibrating motion caused by the activation of the motorized vibrating unit 12, causes the rubbing of the drying and polishing material against the cutlery and simultaneously the cutlery and such material advance along the rising channel 7 from the bottom of the treatment tank 4 toward the unloading outlet 6.
  • the drying and polishing material passes through the holes of the end segment 7a and falls in a lower region, thus remaining within the treatment tank 4, while the cutlery, by now dried and polished, continues its advancement toward the unloading outlet 6, through which it is progressively poured outside the machine. It should be noted that along the end segment 7a of the rising channel 7 the air stream emitted by the fan 16 prevents any drying and polishing material that might remain on the rising channel 7 from reaching the unloading outlet 6.
  • the machine according to the invention does not have a box-like support and containment structure, since the treatment tank 4 is supported directly by the footing 2 and the lid 9 is hinged directly to the treatment tank 4, it is possible to achieve, for the machine according to the invention, an extremely limited space occupation and weight.
  • the machine according to the invention has a reduced number of components and can be manufactured and assembled with lower costs than those of machines of the known type.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
