- the device described below is a so-called Ge beverage dispenser with which an end customer can fill his container.
- Such drink dispensers are for example in universities, train stations and the like. It is known in the prior art that disposable containers, such as plastic cups, are used, which are then filled with the drink. However, there is also a need to use reusable containers.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a filling device for filling reusable containers as well, which also enables the containers to be reliably and cleanly filled. This is achieved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim.
- a device according to the invention for filling containers has a carrier on which a container to be filled can be placed and fixed, this carrier being pivotable with respect to a pivot axis and / or rotatable with respect to an axis of rotation, wherein this pivot axis extends at an angle different from 0 ° with respect to a longitudinal direction of the container to be filled. Furthermore, the device has a first filling device in order to fill the container in a first pivot position of the container with respect to the said pivot axis via its mouth.
- the device preferably has a rinsing device in order to rinse the container in a second pivot position of the container with respect to the pivot axis through its mouth, in particular with a liquid.
- the device preferably has a further loading device which is suitable and intended for introducing a further liquid into the container, in which case the container in particular can be pivoted into a further pivoting position.
- This further liquid can be, for example, a further liquid to be filled, but also a rinsing liquid for rinsing the container.
- a device is therefore preferably proposed which enables the container to be rinsed or rinsed and then filled.
- a structure is proposed in which a rotatable or pivotable carrier and / or plate is provided on which the consumer places the container to be filled.
- said pivot axis is arranged or designed in such a way that the mouth of the container extends around it. It is possible that a distance between the mouth of the container and the pivot axis remains constant and this therefore runs on a certain radius or at a certain distance around the pivot axis.
- the filling device has one or more filling valves. It is possible that the filling device is suitable and intended to fill a one-component beverage, for example water, but it would also be possible, please include that the filling device fills multi-component beverages.
- the device has a collecting device and / or a collecting container in order to collect liquid.
- this can be rinsing liquid with which the container is rinsed.
- residues of any liquid still present in the containers can be caught by this collecting container.
- This collecting container is thus preferably located at least also below the pivot axis with respect to which the container is pivoted.
- the pivot axis runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the container. This pivot axis and / or axis of rotation is preferably aligned horizontally or approximately horizontally.
- the container is therefore preferably pivoted in a vertical plane.
- a rotation of the container by a predetermined angle for example 180 °, is required, for example such that its mouth protrudes vertically downwards and so flushing from below is possible.
- This flushing device is particularly preferably designed in such a way that a flushing medium reaches all areas of the container, in particular also a bottom area of the container.
- the flushing device prefferably designed in the manner of a flushing lance which can move into the interior of the container.

- the position for rinsing or rinsing is, for example, at 4 o'clock (or at 8 o'clock) in order to prevent the contaminated rinsing water running out of the bottle from contaminating the rinsing nozzle.
- the medium in the container would run over the Rinsdüse or the flushing device when it is pivoted downwards. This could contaminate the flushing device, which could lead to contamination of the next containers.
- the Rinsdüse could also be arranged in a different position, so that it is achieved that the liquid first runs out of the container and then a rinsing process takes place.
- a control system causes the container to first pivot into another position, for example a 7 o'clock position or a 5 o'clock position, in this position residual liquid can run out of the container and only then the container is driven over the flushing device.
- the liquid would run out of the inclined container and rinsing could then take place.
- the liquid would run vertically downwards from the container and the flushing device located next to it would not be touched by the liquid.
- the device has a cleaning device for cleaning the flushing device.
- a cleaning device for cleaning the flushing device.
- the rinsing device itself to be cleaned after each rinsing process.
