Definitions
- Washing basket system for cleaning items to be cleaned with at least one cavity
- the invention relates to a washing basket system, a washing system and a method for cleaning items to be cleaned with at least one cavity.
- the devices and methods of the invention can be used for cleaning vessels, in particular for cleaning bottles.
- the invention can be used in particular in the field of dishwashing technology, in particular in the field of commercial dishwashing technology.
- the invention can be used in particular in large kitchens in which items to be cleaned, such as trays, dishes and cutlery, have to be cleaned in large quantities.
- the invention can be used to clean bottles, for example bottles for table water in restaurants, or other bottle-like objects such as wine carafes, lemonade jugs, laboratory glasses or similar elongated items to be cleaned with comparatively small openings and at least one cavity.
- other areas of application are also conceivable in principle.
- a large number of cleaning devices also referred to as cleaning devices, are known from the prior art, which can clean and / or disinfect items to be cleaned. Overall, the design of these cleaning devices depends to a great extent on the various boundary conditions, such as, for example, the type of material to be cleaned, the contamination, the throughput or similar conditions.
- cleaning devices which are described, for example, in DE 10 2004 056 052 A1 or in DE 10 2007 025 263 A1.
- Special technical challenges arise in particular when the items to be cleaned have one or more cavities. In this case, it must be ensured that the inner walls of the cavity are sufficiently exposed to cleaning fluid in order to be able to guarantee a reliable cleaning and sanitizing effect there as well.
- washing racks which can be used in dishwashing machines and which have a nozzle system for attaching the bottles.
- Dishmachines www.cmadishmachines.com
- WO 2018/024772 A1 Another example is described in DE 10 2016 114 589 B3 and in WO 2018/024772 A1.
- This document describes a bottle washing basket device for a commercial dishwasher with two separate washing systems, which comprises a basket carrier and a washing basket for receiving bottles to be cleaned.
- the basket support comprises a docking device with at least two separate supply channels
- the washing basket comprises a distributor system with a distributor flange which can be connected to the docking device of the basket support.
- a dispensing tube for dispensing liquid to bottles to be cleaned is provided that is connected to a common distribution channel of a distribution system, this dispensing tube being able to be supplied to each of the two rinsing systems via the common distribution channel.
- washing racks are used in many cases, such as the washing racks described in DE 10 2016 114 589 B3 or in WO 2018/024772 A1.
- these rinsing racks are comparatively heavy and also expensive to manufacture, since these rinsing racks comprise integrated fluidic systems. Both aspects can prove to be particularly disadvantageous if a high volume of items to be cleaned would actually require the use of several washing racks based on the circulation principle.
- the washing baskets described are also largely unsuitable for storage due to the generally comparatively high acquisition costs. Accordingly, in practice, the rinsing baskets are usually loaded for each wash cycle and then unloaded again. The cleaned items to be cleaned are then usually reloaded into storage baskets or other types of storage containers until this cleaning is needed again. Overall, however, this requires a large number of personnel to load, unload and store the items to be cleaned.
- the wash basket system should, on the one hand, enable safe cleaning of items to be cleaned with at least one cavity, in particular of elongated items to be cleaned with narrow openings such as bottles.
- a work effort and a cost for loading, unloading and also for storage should be reduced compared to conventional devices of the type mentioned.
- the terms “have”, “have”, “comprise” or “include” or any grammatical deviations therefrom are used in a non-exclusive manner. Accordingly, these terms can relate to situations in which, besides the features introduced by these terms, no further features are present, or to situations in which one or more further features are present.
- the expression “A has B”, “A has B”, “A comprises B” or “A includes B” can refer to the situation in which, apart from B, no further element is present in A (ie a situation in which A consists exclusively of B), as well as the situation in which, in addition to B, one or more further elements are present in A, for example element C, elements C and D or even further elements .
- the terms “at least one” and “one or more” as well as grammatical modifications of these terms if they are used in connection with one or more elements or features and are intended to express that the element or feature can be provided one or more times, usually only be used once, for example when the feature or element is first introduced. If the feature or element is subsequently mentioned again, the corresponding term “at least one” or “one or more” is generally no longer used, without restricting the possibility that the feature or element can be provided once or several times.
- a washing basket system for cleaning items to be cleaned with at least one cavity.
- the items to be cleaned can in particular be special vessels and in particular bottles.

This can take place in particular via a tapered area 168 of the lower part of the upper basket 146, the outer dimensions of which are dimensioned in such a way that the latter can be inserted into the lower basket 144, for example up to a stop edge 170 have the same dimensions as the lower basket 144.
- the items 116 can remain in the upper basket 146, for example carried by the upper basket bottom 156.
- two or more upper baskets 146 with cleaned items 116 to be cleaned are inserted into one another and form a plug-in system 172, as shown in FIG. In this way, the items 116 can be stored in the cleaned state in the comparatively inexpensive upper baskets 146.
- a basket lid 174 can also be provided.
- the upper basket 146 can be designed in one piece, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, or can also be designed in several parts. The latter variant is shown in Figure 3 in a sectional view.
- the upper basket 146 can have a lower basket part 176 which, for example, has the upper basket bottom 156 with the openings 158 as well as the tapered area 168 and the stop edge 170.
- an upper basket part 178 can be provided, which rests on the lower basket part 176. can be set and which, for example, can include the holding structure 164, which can also be referred to as a compartment structure, in order to position the items 116 to be cleaned.
- the lower basket part 176 and the upper basket part 178 can be connected to one another, for example by one or more connecting elements 180, for example by one or more clips.
- a direct connection of the basket parts 176, 178, without additional connecting elements, is also possible, for example a plug connection and / or a connection via integrated clamp elements and / or integrated bolts. Other configurations are also conceivable.
