Dies hat den Vorteil, dass auf der Abgabeseite lediglich ein einzelnes Abgaberohr bzw. ein Abgaberohr pro zu reinigender Flasche vorgesehen sein kann, durch das die Flüssigkeiten beider Spülsysteme abgegeben werden können.This has the advantage that on the delivery side, only a single dispensing tube or a dispensing tube per bottle to be cleaned can be provided, through which the liquids of both rinsing systems can be dispensed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung stellt daher für eine gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschine mit zwei voneinander getrennten Spülsystemen ein System zur Verfügung, das, auf der Einspeisungsseite oder stromaufwärts liegenden Seite, also im Bereich des Flüssigkeitseinlaufs einer Geschirrspülmaschine, die Spülsysteme voneinander getrennt hält, was insbesondere auch wichtig ist, um eine Kontamination der einzelnen Spülmaschinenspülsysteme mit Flüssigkeiten des jeweils anderen Spülsystems zu vermeiden, während auf der Abgabeseite oder der stromabwärts liegenden Seite, also im Bereich der Abgabeelemente, hier der Abgaberohre, die Zuführvorrichtung, insbesondere Kanäle, für die beiden Spülsysteme zusammengeführt werden und in einen gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal münden.The bottle scavenger basket device according to the invention therefore provides a system for a commercial dishwasher with two separate rinsing systems, which, on the feed side or upstream side, ie in the Area of the liquid inlet of a dishwasher that keeps rinsing systems separated from each other, which is particularly important to avoid contamination of the individual Spülmaschinenspülsysteme with liquids of the other rinsing system, while on the discharge side or the downstream side, ie in the region of the discharge elements, here the delivery pipes, the supply device, in particular channels, are merged for the two flushing systems and open into a common distribution channel.

Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt daher eine Vorrichtung für gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschinen mit zwei Spülsystemen, bspw. einen Hauptspülsystem und einem Nachspülsystem, zur Verfügung, das innerhalb der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung die beiden voneinander getrennten Spülsysteme in ein kombiniertes System überführt.The present invention therefore provides a device for commercial dishwashing machines with two rinsing systems, for example a main rinsing system and a rinsing system, which converts the two separate rinsing systems into a combined system within the bottle rinsing basket device.

Dieses erfindungsgemäße System hat auch den Vorteil, dass es dazu geeignet ist, bei einer gewerblichen Geschirrspülmaschine ein Waschsystem, bspw. mit einem rotierenden Arm, auszutauschen, in dem schlicht der rotierenden Arm, bspw. ein unterer, rotierender Spülarm, abgenommen wird und gemeinsam mit dem unteren Spülkorb durch eine Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ausgetauscht wird. Auch dabei bleibt die Integrität der beiden getrennten Spülsysteme innerhalb der Geschirrspülmaschine und im Bereich des Flüssigkeitseinlaufs der Geschirrspülmaschine erhalten.This system according to the invention also has the advantage that it is suitable for exchanging a washing system, for example with a rotating arm, in a commercial dishwasher, in which simply the rotating arm, for example a lower, rotating arm, is removed and together with the lower washing basket is replaced by a bottle washing basket device according to the present invention. Also, the integrity of the two separate rinsing systems within the dishwasher and in the area of the liquid inlet of the dishwasher is maintained.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform ist das mindestens eine Abgaberohr so an dem Spülkorb ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass es zumindest teilweise in einen Flaschenhals einer zu reinigenden Flasche hineinragt, wenn sich die Flasche in einer Reinigungsposition in dem Spülkorb befindet. Typischerweise werden die zu reinigenden Flaschen kopfüber, also mit der Flaschenöffnung nach unten, in einen Spülkorb eingesetzt, damit Flüssigkeit, die in die Flasche abgegeben wird, auch wieder ablaufen kann.According to a particular embodiment, the at least one discharge pipe is formed on the washing basket and arranged so that it at least partially protrudes into a bottle neck of a bottle to be cleaned when the bottle is in a cleaning position in the washing basket. Typically, the bottles to be cleaned upside down, so with the bottle opening down, used in a wash basket, so that liquid that is discharged into the bottle, can run off again.

Die erfindungsgemäße Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung hat dabei insbesondere den Vorteil, dass Flüssigkeiten von beiden Spülsystemen mittels eines einzigen Abgaberohres an bzw. in die Flasche abgegeben werden kann, so dass es beispielsweise nicht erforderlich ist, zwei parallele Abgaberohre, eines für jedes Spülsystem, zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Dimensionen der Abgabeelemente werden daher gering gehalten, und es ist auch möglich, Flaschen oder ähnliche Behälter auf das oder die Abgaberohre zu setzen, die einen sehr geringen Durchmesser im Bereich des Flaschenhalses haben.In particular, the bottle scavenger basket device according to the invention has the advantage that liquids from both scavenging systems can be delivered to or into the bottle by means of a single dispensing tube, so that it is not necessary, for example, to provide two parallel dispensing tubes, one for each scavenging system. The Therefore, dimensions of the dispensing elements are kept low, and it is also possible to place bottles or similar containers on the dispensing tube or tubes, which have a very small diameter in the area of the neck of the bottle.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst das Verteilersystem der erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung mindestens zwei voneinander getrennte Kanäle, die so ausgebildet und angeordnet sind, dass ihnen eine Flüssigkeit des gleichen Spülsystems zugeführt werden kann. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass auch in den Fällen, in denen eine Flüssigkeit eines Spülsystems in nur einen Zuführkanal oder einen Kanal oder auch einen Raum innerhalb der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung zugeführt wird, die Weiterführung der Flüssigkeit ggf. auch in zwei voneinander getrennten Kanälen durchgeführt werden kann, zumindest über einen gewissen Bereich, wobei die zwei Kanäle dann direkt oder indirekt in den gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal münden. Auch dies ermöglicht eine effiziente und sichere Weiterleitung von Flüssigkeit aus einem Spülsystem.In a further preferred embodiment, the distribution system of the bottle scavenger basket device according to the invention comprises at least two mutually separate channels, which are designed and arranged such that a liquid of the same flushing system can be supplied to them. This has the advantage that even in the cases in which a liquid of a rinsing system is fed into only one feed channel or a channel or even a space within the bottle rinsing basket device, the continuation of the liquid can optionally also be carried out in two separate channels, at least over a certain range, the two channels then opening directly or indirectly into the common distribution channel. This also allows an efficient and safe transfer of liquid from a flushing system.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist jedoch das Verteilersystem so ausgebildet, dass es mindestens einen Kanal aufweist, der so ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, dass in ihm nur eine Flüssigkeit eines Spülsystems eingeleitet werden kann, wobei der mindestens eine Kanal bevorzugt direkt, ggf. aber auch indirekt, in den gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal mündet. Hierdurch wird insbesondere eine möglichst lange Trennung der Flüssigkeiten der zwei Spülsysteme in der gewerblichen Spülmaschine sichergestellt, was insbesondere eine mögliche Kontamination eines Spülsystems durch Flüssigkeit des anderen Spülsystems vermeidet.In another embodiment, however, the distribution system is formed so that it has at least one channel which is designed and arranged so that only a liquid of a flushing system can be introduced therein, wherein the at least one channel preferably directly, but possibly also indirectly , flows into the common distribution channel. As a result, in particular the longest possible separation of the liquids of the two rinsing systems is ensured in the commercial dishwasher, which avoids in particular a possible contamination of a rinsing system by liquid of the other rinsing system.

Bei einer besonderer Ausführung der vorliegenden Erfindung sind das Verteilersystem und die Andockvorrichtung so ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass sie in angeschlossenem oder in verbundenen Zustand einen Raum bilden, in den ein oder mehrere Zuführkanäle für eines der Spülsysteme münden und der über einen oder mehrere Kanäle mit dem gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal verbunden ist.In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the distribution system and the docking device are designed and arranged so that they form a space in connected or in the connected state, in which one or more supply channels for one of the flushing systems and one or more channels with the common distribution channel is connected.

Bevorzugt wird dabei der Raum in einem Bereich zwischen Verteilersystem und der Andockvorrichtung, insbesondere also in einem Bereich, in dem Verteilersystem und Andockvorrichtung miteinander verbunden werden, gebildet. Dies hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass der Raum auf relativ einfache Weise gebildet wird und die einzelnen Elemente, Verteilersystem und Andockvorrichtung, besonders einfach hergestellt werden können, bspw. in einem Spritzgießverfahren. Zum anderen kann die Geometrie der Zuführkanäle und der weiteren Kanäle, die die Flüssigkeit der Spülsysteme zu dem Raum führen oder die Flüssigkeiten aus dem Raum an die Abgabevorrichtungen, insbesondere die Abgaberohre, weiterleiten, auf besonders einfache Weise realisiert werden.In this case, the space is preferably formed in an area between the distributor system and the docking device, in particular in an area in which the distributor system and docking device are connected to one another. This particular has the Advantage that the space is formed in a relatively simple manner and the individual elements, distribution system and docking device, can be produced particularly easily, for example. In an injection molding. On the other hand, the geometry of the feed channels and the other channels, which lead the liquid of the flushing systems to the room or forward the liquids from the room to the dispensers, in particular the dispensing tubes, can be realized in a particularly simple manner.

Bei besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung ist mindestens ein Zuführkanal und/oder mindestens ein Kanal mit einer Rückschlagvorrichtung versehen. Eine solche Rückschlagvorrichtung verhindert auf besonders effektive Weise, dass Flüssigkeit eines Spülsystems in Bereiche des anderen Spülsystems der Geschirrspülmaschine gelangt, bspw. durch einen ansonsten mögliches Rücklaufen der Flüssigkeit, wenn bspw. das Pumpen oder Fördern in einem Spülsystem beendet oder unterbrochen wird. Die beiden Spülsysteme werden daher, in einem Bereich hinter der Rückschlagvorrichtung, das heißt stromabwärts von der Rückschlagvorrichtung, sicher voneinander getrennt.In particularly preferred embodiments of the bottle washing basket device according to the invention, at least one feed channel and / or at least one channel is provided with a non-return device. Such a check device prevents in a particularly effective manner that liquid of a rinsing system enters areas of the other rinsing system of the dishwasher, for example. By otherwise possible return of the liquid, if, for example, the pumping or conveying is stopped or interrupted in a rinsing system. Therefore, the two flushing systems are securely separated from each other in an area behind the kickback device, that is, downstream of the kickback device.

Besonders bevorzugt umfasst zumindest jedes der zwei voneinander getrennten Zuführkanäle eine solche Rückschlagvorrichtung, um eine besonders sichere Realisierung der Sicherheit gegen Kontamination zu verhindern. Alternativ können die zwei voneinander getrennten Zuführkanäle indirekt mittels einer Rückschlagvorrichtung gegen eine Rückströmung einer Flüssigkeit gesichert sein, bspw. in nachfolgenden Kanälen.Particularly preferably, at least each of the two separate feed channels comprises such a check device in order to prevent a particularly secure implementation of the security against contamination. Alternatively, the two separate feed channels may be indirectly secured by a check device against backflow of a liquid, for example in subsequent channels.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform ist die Rückschlagvorrichtung oder sind mehrere Rückschlagvorrichtungen entweder in der Andockvorrichtung und/oder in dem Verteilersystem angeordnet. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist eine Rückschlagvorrichtung für ein Spülsystem in der Andockvorrichtung angeordnet, während eine weitere Rückschlagvorrichtung für ein anderes Spülsystem in dem Verteilersystem angeordnet ist.In a particular embodiment, the check device or a plurality of check devices is arranged either in the docking device and / or in the distribution system. In a particularly preferred embodiment, a check device for a flushing system is arranged in the docking device, while another check device for another flushing system is arranged in the distributor system.

Dies hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass der begrenzte Raum innerhalb der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung möglichst optimal ausgenutzt werden kann. Auch ist es möglich, eine relativ schlanke Andockvorrichtung mit geringem Ausmaß, insbesondere mit geringem radialen Ausmaßen, zur Verfügung zu stellen, ohne dass die Leistungsfähigkeit der Andockvorrichtung und der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, insbesondere auch im Hinblick auf die maximale Menge des pro Zeiteinheit zu fördernden Volumenstroms an Flüssigkeiten aus den Spülsystemen.This has the particular advantage that the limited space can be utilized as optimally as possible within the Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung. It is also possible, a relatively slim docking device with a small extent, in particular with small radial dimensions to provide, without affecting the performance of the docking device and the Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, in particular also with regard to the maximum amount of per unit time to be promoted volume flow of fluids from the flushing systems.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Rückschlagvorrichtungen durch einen oder mehrere Rückschlagventile realisiert, wobei bevorzugt insbesondere Kugelrückschlagventile vorgesehen sind, da diese in der speziellen Anwendung besonders effektiv sind und ohne zusätzliche, bspw. elektronische, Steuerung auskommen und wenig fehleranfällig sind.In a preferred embodiment, the non-return devices are realized by one or more check valves, preferably ball check valves are provided, since these are particularly effective in the specific application and without additional, eg. Electronic, get along control and are prone to errors.

Bevorzugt umfasst der Spülkorb einen Abstandshalter oder eine Positionierungsvorrichtung, die so ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, dass sich der Spülkorb bei einer geschlossenen Tür der Geschirrspülmaschine automatisch in einer Position befindet, in der das Verteilersystem des Spülkorbes an die Andockvorrichtung des Korbträgers angeschlossen ist. Dies stellt sicher, dass eine korrekte Verbindung zwischen Flüssigkeitseinlass der gewerblichen Spülmaschine einerseits und der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung andererseits automatisch sichergestellt ist, so dass auch eine Verbindung der zugehörigen Kanäle sichergestellt ist und vermieden wird, dass Flüssigkeiten entweder nicht oder nicht vollständig transportiert werden oder aufgrund einer unkorrekten Verbindung der einzelnen Elemente ggf. aus dem System austreten und nicht an die Abgabevorrichtung, insbesondere die Abgaberohre, weitergeleitet werden, was die Effektivität und den Wirkungsgrad der Geschirrspülmaschine mindern würde.Preferably, the wash basket comprises a spacer or a positioning device which is designed and arranged such that the wash basket is automatically in a position in a closed door of the dishwasher in a position in which the distribution system of the Spülkorbes is connected to the docking device of the basket carrier. This ensures that a correct connection between the liquid inlet of the commercial dishwasher on the one hand and the bottle washing basket device on the other hand is automatically ensured, so that a connection of the associated channels is ensured and prevents liquids are either not or not completely transported or due to an incorrect connection possibly exit the system from the individual elements and not be forwarded to the dispenser, in particular the dispensing tubes, which would reduce the effectiveness and the efficiency of the dishwasher.

Bei einer Ausführungsform ist die Andockvorrichtung des Korbträgers mittels eines Schnappverschlusses an den Flüssigkeitseinlauf der Geschirrspülmaschine anschließbar. Dies ermöglicht einen schnellen und einfachen Einsatz der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung in die gewerbliche Spülmaschine, was insbesondere von Bedeutung ist, wenn die Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, bspw. im Rahmen eines Spülsystem-Austauschmoduls, dazu verwendet wird, bei einer bereits existierenden gewerblichen Geschirrspülmaschine ein Waschsystem, bspw. einen rotierenden Wascharm, samt zugehörigen Korb für zu reinigende Flaschen, auszutauschen.In one embodiment, the docking device of the basket carrier can be connected by means of a snap closure to the liquid inlet of the dishwasher. This allows a quick and easy use of the bottle scavenger basket device in the industrial dishwasher, which is particularly important if the Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, for example. As part of a flushing system exchange module, is used in an existing commercial dishwasher, a washing system, for example. A rotating Wash arm, including associated basket for bottles to be cleaned, replace.

Bevorzugt umfasst das mindestens eine Abgaberohr, bevorzugt natürlich jedes Abgaberohr, mindestens eine Düse zur Abgabe einer Flüssigkeit. Es können auch mehrere Düsen pro Abgaberohr vorgesehen sein, so dass die Abstrahlrichtung und die Abstrahlmenge besonders vorteilhaft an die zu reinigenden Flaschen oder an ähnliche zu reinigende Gegenstände angepasst werden können.Preferably, the at least one dispensing tube, preferably of course each dispensing tube, comprises at least one nozzle for dispensing a liquid. It can also be provided several nozzles per discharge tube, so that the emission and the radiation can be particularly advantageous adapted to the bottles to be cleaned or similar objects to be cleaned.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform sind der Korbträger und der Spülkorb als, im Wesentlichen 2-teiliges, System ausgebildet, so dass sie auch als Spülsystemaustauschmodul, bspw. für eine bereits bestehende gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschine, verwendet werden können. Der Korbträger und der Spülkorb sind dabei aufeinander abgestimmt, wobei der Korbträger und/oder der Spülkorb Führungselemente umfassen, die es ermöglichen, dass der Spülkorb relativ zum Korbträger zwischen einer Beladeposition und einer Betriebsposition hin und her bewegbar ist. Hierdurch wird ein abgestimmtes System zur Verfügung gestellt, insbesondere ist es dann sehr einfach, den Spülkorb mit zu reinigenden Flaschen oder ähnlichen Gegenständen zu beladen, wobei gleichzeitig nach Bewegen des Spülkorbs in die Betriebsposition ein sicheres Reinigen der Flaschen sichergestellt ist.In a particular embodiment, the basket carrier and the wash basket are designed as a substantially 2-part system, so that they can also be used as a flushing system replacement module, for example for an already existing commercial dishwashing machine. The basket carrier and the washing basket are matched to one another, wherein the basket carrier and / or the washing basket comprise guide elements, which make it possible for the washing basket to be movable relative to the basket carrier between a loading position and an operating position. As a result, a tuned system is provided, in particular it is then very easy to load the wash basket with bottles or similar items to be cleaned, at the same time a safe cleaning of the bottles is ensured after moving the wash basket in the operating position.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist es jedoch auch möglich, dass Korbträger einerseits und Spülkorb andererseits im Wesentlichen immer in einer festen, relativen Position zueinander stehen, insbesondere bei Geschirrspülmaschinen, bei denen die Spülkörbe normalerweise nicht bewegt werden, sondern ohne Bewegung des Spülkorbs mit zu reinigendem Geschirr oder zu reinigenden Flaschen beladen werden können.In another embodiment, however, it is also possible that the basket carrier on the one hand and the washing basket on the other hand are substantially always in a fixed, relative position to each other, especially in dishwashers in which the rinse baskets are normally not moved, but without moving the Spülkorbs with dishes to be cleaned or bottles to be cleaned can be loaded.

Daher ist es prinzipiell auch möglich, dass Korbträger und Spülkorb ein im Wesentlichen einteiliges System darstellen, das jedoch unterschiedliche, gegebenenfalls miteinander verbundene, Komponenten umfasst.Therefore, it is also possible in principle that the basket carrier and the washing basket represent a substantially one-part system, but which comprises different, possibly interconnected, components.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft auch ein Spülsystem-Austauschmodul für eine gewerbliche Spülmaschine, die zwei voneinander getrennte Spülsysteme aufweist, wobei ein solches Spülsystem-Austauschmodul eine Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung umfasst, wie oben beschrieben worden ist. Wie erläutert kann ein solches Spülsystem-Austauschmodul insbesondere für existierende gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschinen mit zwei voneinander getrennten Spülsystemen verwendet werden, und ein existierendes Waschsystem, bpsw. ein rotierender Spülarm, kann auf einfache Weise ausgetauscht werden.The present invention also relates to a flushing system replacement module for a commercial dishwasher having two separate flushing systems, such flushing system replacement module comprising a bottle flushing basket apparatus as described above. As explained, such a flushing system replacement module can be used, in particular, for existing two-compartment industrial dishwashers separate rinsing systems are used, and an existing washing system, bpsw. a rotating arm, can be easily replaced.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschine mit zwei voneinander getrennten Spülsystemen und einer Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, wie sie oben beschrieben worden ist.The invention also relates to a commercial dishwasher having two separate rinsing systems and a bottle rinsing basket device as described above.

Diese und weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung werden anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren, die eine besondere Ausführungsform zeigen, noch deutlicher:These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following figures, which show a particular embodiment:

Detaillierte BeschreibungDetailed description

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Spülkorb 1 und einen Korbträger 2 einer Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung. Der Spülkorb 1 umfasst Abgaberohre 5 für eine Abgabe einer Flüssigkeit in zu reinigende Flaschen 4, die, bei dieser Ausführungsform kopfüber, in den Spülkorb 1 eingesetzt werden. Der Spülkorb 1 ist insbesondere in Fig. 2 nochmals aus einer anderen Perspektive gezeigt. Fig. 1 shows a washing basket 1 and a basket carrier 2 of an embodiment of a bottle washing basket device according to the invention. The washing basket 1 comprises discharge pipes 5 for discharging a liquid into bottles 4 to be cleaned, which, in this embodiment upside down, be used in the wash basket 1. The washing basket 1 is in particular in Fig. 2 shown again from a different perspective.

Der Korbträger 2 umfasst eine Struktur, insbesondere Führungselemente 82, die dazu dienen, den Spülkorb 1 zu tragen, zu positionieren und eine Bewegung des Spülkorbs 1 relativ zum Korbträger 2 zwischen einer Beladeposition und einer Betriebsposition zu ermöglichen.The basket carrier 2 comprises a structure, in particular guide elements 82, which serve to carry the washing basket 1, to position and to enable a movement of the washing basket 1 relative to the basket carrier 2 between a loading position and an operating position.

Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist jedoch auch eine andere Ausführungsform möglich, bei der der Spülkorb nicht zwischen einer Beladeposition einer Betriebsposition hin- und herbewegt wird, sondern lediglich eine Betriebsposition hat, in der der Spülkorb sowohl beladen werden kann als auch eine Reinigung vorgenommen werden kann. Bei einer solchen Ausführungsform befinden sich im Betriebszustand der Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung sowohl der Korbträger als auch der Spülkorb immer in der gleichen relativen Position zueinander.As already mentioned above, however, another embodiment is possible in which the washing basket is not moved back and forth between a loading position of an operating position, but merely has an operating position in which the washing basket can be loaded as well as a cleaning can be carried out , In such an embodiment, both the basket carrier and the wash basket are always in the same relative position to each other in the operating state of Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung.

Der Korbträger 2 umfasst ferner eine Andockvorrichtung 3, mittels der der Korbträger 2 an eine gewerbliche Spülmaschine angedockt oder angeschlossen werden kann, insbesondere an einen Flüssigkeitseinlauf einer gewerblichen Spülmaschine, die zwei Spülsyteme, insbesondere ein Hauptspülsystem und ein Nachspülsystem umfasst, so dass auch Flüssigkeiten aus beiden Spülsystemen über die Andockvorrichtung 3 in die Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung geführt werden können.The basket carrier 2 further comprises a docking device 3, by means of which the basket carrier 2 can be docked or connected to a commercial dishwasher, in particular to a liquid inlet of a commercial dishwasher comprising two Spülsyteme, in particular a main flushing system and a Nachspülsystem, so that liquids from both Rinsing systems can be performed via the docking device 3 in the Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Spülkorb 1, wie er auch in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, aus einer anderen Perspektive. Wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich umfasst der Spülkorb 1 ein Verteilersystem 15, von dem aus sich Abgaberohre 5 zur Abgabe von Flüssigkeit an zu reinigende Flaschen 4 erstrecken. Die Abgaberohre 5 sind, in ihrem abschließenden oder oberen Bereich, im Wesentlichen senkrecht angeordnet und an ihrem oberen Ende mit einer Düse 6 versehen. Fig. 2 shows a Spülkorb 1, as he also in Fig. 1 shown from a different perspective. As in Fig. 2 the wash basket 1 comprises a distributor system 15, from which dispensing tubes 5 for dispensing liquid extend to bottles 4 to be cleaned. The discharge tubes 5 are, in their final or upper region, arranged substantially vertically and provided at its upper end with a nozzle 6.

Der Spülkorb 1 umfasst ein Führungsblech 8 an seiner oberen Seite, das eine Führung und ein einfacheres Einsetzen der zu reinigenden Flaschen 4 in den Spülkorb 1 ermöglicht. Wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, wird eine zu reinigenden Flasche 4 kopfüber durch eine Öffnung in dem Führungsblech 8 so eingesetzt, dass ein Teil des Abgaberohres 5 in den Flaschenhals und in die Flasche eingeführt wird, wie es auch in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist.The washing basket 1 comprises a guide plate 8 at its upper side, which allows a guide and a simpler insertion of the bottles 4 to be cleaned in the washing basket 1. As in Fig. 2 can be seen, a bottle to be cleaned 4 upside down through an opening in the guide plate 8 is inserted so that a part of the discharge pipe 5 is inserted into the bottle neck and into the bottle, as well as in Fig. 3 is shown.

Ferner umfasst diese Ausführungsform des Spülkorb 1 auch einen Abstandshalter oder eine Positionierungsvorrichtung 9, die bei dieser Ausführungsform an einem Außenrahmen des Spülkorbs 1 und an einer Seite angeordnet ist, die im Betrieb einer Tür der gewerblichen Spülmaschine zugewandt ist.Furthermore, this embodiment of the washing basket 1 also comprises a spacer or a positioning device 9, which in this embodiment is arranged on an outer frame of the washing basket 1 and on a side which in operation faces a door of the industrial dishwasher.

Diese Positionierungsvorrichtung 9 ist so ausgebildet, dass beim Schließen der Tür der gewerblichen Geschirrspülmaschine der Spülkorb automatisch in seine Betriebsposition oder Reinigungsposition geschoben wird, so dass, bei geschlossener Tür der Geschirrspülmaschine, der Spülkorb 1 über die Andockvorrichtung 3 mit dem Korbträger 2 und damit mit der Geschirrspülmaschine zwangsweise (oder automatisch) korrekt und betriebsbereit verbunden ist.This positioning device 9 is designed so that when closing the door of the industrial dishwasher, the washing basket is automatically pushed into its operating position or cleaning position, so that when the door of the dishwasher, the washing basket 1 via the docking device 3 with the basket carrier 2 and thus with the Dishwasher forcibly (or automatically) is connected correctly and ready for use.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen Querschnitt einer Ausführungsform eines Abgaberohres 5, das an einem Spülkorb vorgesehen ist, wobei das Abgaberohr 5 an seinem oberen Ende mit einer Düse 6 zur Abgabe von Flüssigkeit versehen ist. Fig. 3 shows a cross section of an embodiment of a dispensing tube 5, which is provided on a washing basket, wherein the dispensing tube 5 is provided at its upper end with a nozzle 6 for dispensing liquid.

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, wird eine zu reinigende Flasche 4 kopfüber auf oder über das Abgaberohr geschoben, so dass das Abgaberohr zumindest teilweise in den Flaschenhals oder in den Innenraum der Flasche ragt, so dass eine möglichst gute Reinigung möglich ist.As in Fig. 3 shown, a bottle to be cleaned 4 is pushed upside down on or over the discharge pipe, so that the discharge pipe protrudes at least partially into the neck of the bottle or into the interior of the bottle, so that the best possible cleaning is possible.

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass das Abgaberohr 5 und die Abgabedüse 6 sich, zumindest teilweise, innerhalb des Volumens der zu reinigenden Flasche 4, also innerhalb des Flaschenhalses oder innerhalb des weiteren Bereiches der Flasche, befinden, wird eine besonders effektive Reinigung ermöglicht. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass bei einer Vorrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung lediglich ein einziges Abgaberohr in die Flasche geführt werden braucht, kann die Dimension des Abgaberohres 5, insbesondere der Querschnitt, gering gehalten werden, so dass auch Flaschen mit einem geringen Flaschenhals-Innendurchmesser gereinigt werden können und ferner eine in das Volumen der zu reinigenden Flasche abgegebene Flüssigkeit auch zwischen Abgaberohr 5 und Flaschenhals wieder abfließen kann.Due to the fact that the dispensing tube 5 and the dispensing nozzle 6 are located, at least partially, within the volume of the bottle 4 to be cleaned, ie within the neck of the bottle or within the wider region of the bottle, a particularly effective cleaning is made possible. Due to the fact that in a device according to the present invention only a single dispensing tube needs to be fed into the bottle, the dimension of the dispensing tube 5, in particular the cross-section, can be kept small so that even bottles with a small bottleneck inner diameter are cleaned and furthermore, a liquid dispensed into the volume of the bottle to be cleaned can also flow away again between dispensing tube 5 and bottle neck.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einige Elemente einer Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, insbesondere einen Querschnitt durch ein Verteilersystem 15 des Spülkorbes 1 und einen Teil der Andockvorrichtung 3 des Korbträgers 2. Fig. 4 shows a cross section through some elements of an embodiment of a Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung invention, in particular a cross section through a Distribution system 15 of the rinse basket 1 and a part of the docking device 3 of the basket carrier. 2

Wie in Fig. 4 gut ersichtlich, umfasst die Andockvorrichtung 3 des Korbträgers zwei Zuführkanäle 20, 30, jeweils einen Zuführkanal für eines der Spülsysteme, bei dieser Ausführungsform einen Zufuhrkanal 30 für ein Hauptspülsystem und einen Zuführkanal 20 für ein Nachspülsystem.As in Fig. 4 clearly seen, the docking device 3 of the basket support two supply channels 20, 30, each having a supply channel for one of the flushing systems, in this embodiment, a supply channel 30 for a main flushing system and a supply channel 20 for a Nachspülsystem.

Das Verteilersystem 15 des Spülkorbes umfasst einen gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7, in den diverse Kanäle zum Transport sämtlicher Flüssigkeiten, die von dem einzelnen Spülsystem zur Verfügung gestellt werden, eingeleitet werden. Aus dem Verteilerkanal 7 kann dann die Flüssigkeit an die Abgaberohre 5 weitergeben werden, siehe hierzu insbesondere Fig. 5.The distribution system 15 of the rinse basket comprises a common distribution channel 7 into which various channels for transporting all the liquids provided by the individual rinsing system are introduced. From the distribution channel 7, the liquid can then be passed on to the discharge pipes 5, see in particular Fig. 5 ,

Wie in Fig. 4 ersichtlich, umfasst das Verteilersystem 15 einen Verteilerflansch 12, der an die Andockvorrichtung 3 des Korbträgers angeschlossen ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird zwischen dem Verteilerflansch 12 und der Andockvorrichtung 3 ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiger Raum 50 erzeugt, in den über den Zuführkanal 30 Flüssigkeit eines Spülsystems, nämlich des Hauptspülsystems, zugeführt wird.As in Fig. 4 As can be seen, the distribution system 15 comprises a distribution flange 12 which is connected to the docking device 3 of the basket carrier. In this embodiment, a substantially annular space 50 is created between the distributor flange 12 and the docking device 3, into which liquid of a rinsing system, namely the main rinsing system, is supplied via the feed channel 30.

Aus dem ringförmigen Raum 30 gehen bei dieser Ausführungsform insgesamt vier Kanäle 40, 42, 46 (der vierte Kanal ist in dieser Figur nicht zu sehen) ab, die dann in den gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7 münden.Out of the annular space 30 in this embodiment, a total of four channels 40, 42, 46 (the fourth channel is not visible in this figure), which then open into the common distribution channel 7.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist jeder der Kanäle 40, 42, 46 mit einem Kugelrückschlagventil 70 versehen, das bewegliche Kugeln 11 umfasst, die, in der Position, wie sie in Fig. 4 gezeigt ist, den ringförmigen Raum 50 gegen die Kanäle 40, 42 und 46 verschließt oder abdichtet, so dass ein Rückströmen von Flüssigkeit aus den Kanälen 40, 42, 46 in den ringförmigen Raum 50 und damit in den Zuführkanal 30 nicht möglich ist.In this embodiment, each of the channels 40, 42, 46 is provided with a ball check valve 70 comprising movable balls 11 which, in the position as shown in Figs Fig. 4 is shown, the annular space 50 against the channels 40, 42 and 46 seals or seals, so that a backflow of liquid from the channels 40, 42, 46 in the annular space 50 and thus in the feed channel 30 is not possible.

Wird über den Zuführkanal 30 eine Flüssigkeit des Hauptspülsystems zugeführt, werden die Kugeln 11 durch den Druck der Flüssigkeit angehoben, so dass die Flüssigkeit über den Zuführkanal 30, den Raum 50 und die Kanäle 40, 42, 46 (und den vierten Kanal) in den gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7 geführt werden kann.If a liquid of the main rinsing system is supplied via the feed channel 30, the balls 11 are lifted by the pressure of the liquid, so that the liquid via the feed channel 30, the space 50 and the channels 40, 42, 46 (and the fourth channel) in the common distribution channel 7 can be performed.

Die Andockvorrichtung 3 umfasst ferner einen bei dieser Ausführungsform im Wesentlichen zentral liegenden Zuführkanal 20, der ebenfalls mit einem Kugelrückschlagventil 60 versehen ist, das eine Kugel 10 umfasst. Das Kugelrückschlagventil 60 arbeitet wie die Kugelventile 70, die oben beschrieben worden sind.The docking device 3 further comprises a feed channel 20 which is substantially centrally located in this embodiment and which is likewise provided with a ball check valve 60 which comprises a ball 10. The ball check valve 60 operates like the ball valves 70 described above.

Der Zuführkanal 20 geht, nach dem Kugelrückschlagventil 60, in einen Kanal 25 über, der dann ebenfalls in den gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7 mündet.The supply channel 20, after the ball check valve 60, into a channel 25, which then also opens into the common distribution channel 7.

In den Verteilerkanal 7 können daher Flüssigkeiten beider Systeme, hier des Hauptspülsystems und des Nachspülsystems, geführt werden, so dass aus diesem gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7 die zugeführten Flüssigkeiten in die Abgaberohre 5 weitergeleitet werden können, so dass auch, pro Flasche oder Abgabeeinheit, nur ein einziges Abgaberohr erforderlich ist und nicht etwa mindestens zwei Abgaberohre pro Flasche oder Einheit für jedes der Spülsysteme erforderlich sind, was den Gesamtaufbau deutlich vereinfacht und auch sicherstellt, dass die Dimensionen der Abgaberohre möglichst gering gehalten werden können, um möglichst eine große Vielfalt von Flaschen reinigen zu können.In the distribution channel 7 therefore liquids of both systems, here the main flushing system and Nachspülsystems be performed, so that from this common distribution channel 7, the supplied liquids can be forwarded to the discharge pipes 5, so that, per bottle or dispensing unit, only a single Dispensing tube is required and not about at least two delivery tubes per bottle or unit for each of the flushing systems are required, which greatly simplifies the overall design and also ensures that the dimensions of the delivery tubes can be kept as low as possible in order to clean a wide variety of bottles as possible ,

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einige Elemente einer Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenspülkorbvorrichtung, insbesondre die Andockvorrichtung 3 und das Verteilersystem 15. Fig. 5 shows a cross section through some elements of an embodiment of a bottle washing basket device according to the invention, in particular the docking device 3 and the distribution system 15th

Bei der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Ausführungsform umfasst die Andockvorrichtung 3 zwei Zuführkanäle 30 und 32, die ebenfalls in einem Raum 50 münden.At the in Fig. 5 In the embodiment shown, the docking device 3 comprises two feed channels 30 and 32, which also open into a space 50.

Wie bei der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Ausführungsform sind alle Kanäle 40, 42, 46 (der vierte Kanal ist auch in dieser Darstellung nicht gezeigt) mit einem Kugelrückschlagventil mit Kugeln 11 versehen.As with the in Fig. 4 In the embodiment shown, all channels 40, 42, 46 (the fourth channel is also not shown in this illustration) are provided with balls 11 with a ball check valve.

Fig. 5 zeigt insbesondere deutlich den Übergang von dem gemeinsamen Verteilerkanal 7 in die Abgaberohre 5, die in ihren Endbereichen im Wesentlichen senkrecht angeordnet sind, damit eine zu reinigende Flasche kopfüber auf die Rohre aufgesetzt werden kann, wobei die Abgaberohre 5 an ihrer oberen Seite mit einer Abgabedüse 6 versehen sind. Fig. 5 in particular clearly shows the transition from the common distribution channel 7 in the discharge pipes 5, which are arranged substantially vertically in their end regions, so that a bottle to be cleaned can be placed upside down on the tubes, wherein the discharge tubes 5 at its upper side with a discharge nozzle. 6 are provided.

Diese und weitere in der vorstehenden Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und den Zeichnungen offenbarten Merkmale können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebiger Kombination für die Ausführung der Erfindung in ihren verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen Verwendung finden.These and other features disclosed in the foregoing description, claims and drawings may be used both individually and in any combination to practice the invention in its various forms.
