Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sensor module for monitoring a cleaning machine along a treatment path for cleaning containers. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for monitoring the operation of a cleaning machine and a cleaning machine with at least one such sensor module.
- container cleaning machines also known as cleaning machines, are used within the bottling plants of the beverage industry to clean these reusable containers for reuse.
- cleaning machines for cleaning reusable containers are known to those skilled in the most varied designs and variants.
- bottle cells Designs in which the containers are accommodated in so-called bottle cells are widespread.
- Several of these bottle cells are arranged in a row and held by so-called bottle carriers, which are also known to those skilled in the art as bottle or container baskets.
- bottle carriers are held on two endlessly rotating transport chains, by which they are guided through several treatment stations that follow one another in the transport direction. As a rule, these transport chains are permanently driven.
- the containers are fed into a cleaning machine by a so-called task, and the containers are removed by a so-called discharge.
- the period of time between two feed or discharge processes is referred to as the work cycle.
- the transport chain is driven over a longer period of time, i.e. over a large number of work cycles, preferably at a constant speed.
- the treatment of the container within the cleaning machine is essentially in so-called immersion or caustic baths at different temperatures and - at the end of the treatment - within so-called spray zones, which at least one, preferably several spraying stations connected one behind the other in the direction of transport.
- the interior of the corresponding container accommodated in the bottle cells of a container basket is sprayed out several times in order to completely remove foreign bodies or lye residues from the interior of the container. Furthermore, the outer surface of the container is also cleaned at the spray stations, in particular sprayed off. Sufficiently long periods of time are required for the caustic treatment and/or the spray zones to completely clean the containers.
- Sprays which are arranged on a movable element that performs a forward and backward movement and thus at least temporarily follows the transport movement of the container--preferably while the corresponding container is being impinged with the cleaning jet.
- the containers are often reusable containers that are to be refilled with a liquid product after cleaning. It is therefore important to avoid residues of treatment or cleaning liquid in the container that is then to be refilled. To do this, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the cleaning machine in order to ensure consistently high cleaning quality of the containers. In particular, clogged spray nozzles at a spray station, for example, must be promptly recognized and identified for this purpose.
