Definitions
- bottle cleaning devices Devices for cleaning bottles or the like are already known in the prior art as bottle cleaning devices.
- These publications disclose bottle cleaning machines which are used in the beverage industry to clean reusable bottles.
- lye baths and lye sprays also known as lye soaks, are used to soften dirt, labels, glue residues or the like. It is common practice to completely immerse the bottles in the lye bath in order to treat both the outside and the interior.
- these bottle cleaning machines usually include a bottle feeder and a bottle conveyor that moves the bottles through the system.
- the conveyors contain holders for the bottles, with which the bottles are transported overhead, that is, with the opening pointing downwards, and spray nozzles that inject cleaning liquid from outside through the neck of the bottle into the passing bottles for cleaning. It has proven to be disadvantageous that this form of cleaning of internal surfaces cannot be used, for example for bottles in dishwashers.
- a nozzle arrangement, in particular for cleaning internal surfaces of cavities with at least one spray nozzle for generating at least one spray jet, is disclosed in the publication DE 102011 082 702 B4. The disadvantage of this spray nozzle is that this embodiment is not suitable for holding and cleaning bottles in dishwashers.
- Dishwashing baskets for dishwashers are also well known from the prior art.
- the dishwashing basket from the publication DE 15 102012 219 818 A1 is mentioned here.
- Such a dishwashing basket is used to hold items to be washed, in particular a plurality of different items of crockery.
- Below such a dishwashing basket there is a rotatable spray arm, which uses its spray nozzles to spray the dishes with washing liquid and thus wash them.
- the big disadvantage of this cleaning is that the arrangement of the spray nozzles on the rotating spray arm and the spray nozzles themselves are not suitable for cleaning the internal surfaces of bottles through the narrowed bottle neck.
- the dishwashing baskets are unsuitable for holding elongated objects such as bottles or the like because they must be held securely on the frame or dishwashing basket in an upside-down, upright position for reliable cleaning and drying during the cleaning cycle.
- the well-known 1 to 2 liter water bottles made of glass or plastic cannot be placed vertically due to the lack of space in the dishwasher basket. There is also no suitable holder for baby bottles.
- the device for holding bottles with narrowed necks disclosed in EP 0 367 559 B1.
- the device consists of an elongated fastening part which can be attached to a dishwasher basket via a fastening device.
- the fastening part has several pairs of clamping parts for holding bottles. Each pair of clamping parts is suitable for receiving and clamping a bottle neck of a bottle.
- the bottles are inserted vertically and upside down into a respective pair of clamps, which are ring-shaped.
- the disadvantage of this embodiment of the fastening device is that there are no spray nozzles that engage separately in the bottles to clean the internal surfaces. Another disadvantage is that different bottle neck diameters cannot be accommodated by the clamping parts.
- the bottle washing apparatus disclosed in EP 3 319499 B1 is considered to be the most obvious state of the art.
- This is a device of the type described above, which uses a dishwasher basket in a dishwasher as a support.
- the elongated bottle apparatus which extends over the entire width of a dishwashing basket and has a relatively low height, is attached to a dishwashing basket via clamping elements which are located on the underside of the bottle apparatus.
- the bottle apparatus has a non-rotating spray unit on its top, which is provided with spaced spray nozzles that spray a cleaning liquid upwards and directly into the respective cavity of a bottle. Projections are arranged to the right and left of a spray nozzle.
- the spray unit is equipped with a connection.
- the connection corresponds to a connection opening in the rear wall, the connection opening containing a safety valve.
- the state of the art is the cleaning of all types of bottles in the household.
- individual bottles are cleaned using cleaning brushes.
- bottle brushes There is an extensive range of bottle brushes for this purpose. These are designed in a variety of ways so that the brush fits through the narrow neck of the bottle and is intended to reach and clean the entire interior of the bottle.
- the disadvantage is that the narrow neck of a bottle only allows the insertion of a brush that fits through the neck of the bottle.
- After opening the brush in the interior of a bottle it is not suitable for cleaning the size of the entire interior.
- the present application is based on the task of avoiding the existing disadvantages and improving them compared to the prior art.
- the device according to the invention relates to a bottle washing system for dishwashers, preferably for household dishwashers.
- Dishwashers for private households are usually manufactured with a capacity of 12 to 14 place settings in a device width of 60 cm (European standard EN 1116) or a niche width of 55 cm (Swiss measurement system). Place settings are standardized in the European standard EN 50242 and have a standardized basket for the dishes to be cleaned.
- dishwashers are used for the mechanical cleaning of cooking and eating utensils, cutlery and kitchen utensils, which do not include bottles with a narrow bottle neck. Cleaning takes place according to Sinner's circle through the interaction of the factors time, mechanical energy, temperature and chemistry. Rotating nozzles squirt or spray the strongly alkaline soapy water against the dishes. However, the generated and moving spray jets do not reach the inside of bottles with a narrow bottle neck.
- Dishwashers When cleaning internal surfaces, the high pH value of the lye, the fat-dissolving surfactants and factors such as temperature, exposure time, pressure and volume flow of the water jets are very important for dissolving dirt.
- the dishwashers known from the prior art do not meet these requirements for bottles or vases or the like.
- Dishwashers also have several washing programs that differ in duration and temperature range. The washing programs are divided into a pre-rinse cycle (cold water without detergent) to remove easily removable food residues, a main rinse cycle (temperature around 30 to 70 °C with detergent) and a final rinse cycle (temperature around 65 to 85 °C).
- the items to be washed are cleaned in the two rinse cycles, while the final rinse cycle is used to remove the contaminated rinse water and Drying of the items to be washed is used. This also prevents the formation of limescale and water stains.
- These washing programs would generally be suitable for cleaning the internal surfaces of bottles, vases or the like.
- the underlying task is therefore to find a solution for cleaning internal surfaces of cavities, preferably of bottles with relatively narrow bottle necks in known dishwashers, with the existing washing programs.
- the solution consists of a bottle washing system integrated into a dishwasher basket, which is described below.
- the device according to the invention of the bottle washing system consists of a support rail which has at least one connecting element for receiving a holding means for pipes, the holding means being arranged on a flat surface of a flange of the support rail, at least one holding means, at least one pipe, at least one cleaning lance and at least one support bracket.
- the device is equipped with an elongated support rail.
- the support rail has an L-shaped profile, which is formed from a vertical flange and a horizontal flange.
- the support rail is designed in such a way that it can establish a releasable clamp connection with a dish rack, specifically on the inside of a dish rack.
- the vertical flange of the L-shaped profile of the support rail has clamping means on the underside and along its longitudinal axis.
- These clamping means include a plurality of bottom wires of the dish rack which run transversely to the longitudinal axis of the support rail.
- the horizontal flange of the support rail also has clamping elements. These clamping elements include a wire running transversely above the ground wires at a certain parallel distance. These clamping elements run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support rail.
- the support rail can be arranged in the longitudinal or transverse direction on the inside of the crockery basket. Preferably on the inner base in the side or rear area of the dish rack.
- a further advantage of the carrier rail is that the carrier rail has at least one further differently designed connecting element, preferably three further connecting elements, which are arranged at a distance from one another on a vertical longitudinal side on the carrier rail.
- a connecting element of the support rail corresponds to a connecting element of a holding means in order to fasten the holding means to the support rail.
- the support rail is an angle profile consisting of two flanges spaced at 90 degrees.
- the vertical long side means the inside of the vertical flange of the support rail.
- Two of the three connecting elements are located at the free ends and the third connecting element, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is arranged centrally on the support rail between the other two connecting elements.
- the connecting element can consist of openings in the support rail, which accommodate at least one corresponding pin, which can have different shapes and which is arranged on the holding means.
- the connecting element instead of the openings, there are elevations in the form of, for example, pins, which engage in the corresponding openings of the holding means and thus create a coherent connection.
- a connecting element therefore consists of two fastening means which engage with one another and which establish a connection between a support rail and a holding means. Therefore, other connecting elements such as screw connections, rivet connections or the like are also conceivable.
- the connecting element between a support rail and the holding means can also consist of adhesive or an adhesive connection.
- a connecting element is therefore used to fasten a holding means for pipelines, whereby the holding means itself can consist of a clamping means.
- the carrier rail can already be formed in one piece with one or more holding means.
- the one piece with the Holding means formed on the carrier rail are located at the free ends of the carrier rail.
- this does not affect the holding means, which is provided with two openings and is arranged centrally between two holding means.
- the holding means arranged centrally on the support rail is integrated thereon and the two holding means arranged to the right and left of the centrally arranged holding means are mounted on the support rail with connecting elements.
- Such a holding means attached to the support rail advantageously has at least one opening for receiving a rotatable pipeline.
- a holding means can be designed, similar to a clamping means, as is known from the prior art of electrical engineering, for fastening inflexible plastic empty pipes.
- the clamping means for the empty pipes consists of a clamping sleeve.
- the clamp for the bottle washing system must hold the pipe in such a way that it can be fixed to the support rail on the one hand and, on the other hand, can rotate around its own axis of rotation in the opening of the holding means.
- An inventive holding means is therefore required.
- a holding means can also have a connection and/or a valve for the inlet of a cleaning liquid.
- a holding means can also be formed from a bearing block.
- a bearing block is an element that can, for example, hold a plain bearing and hold it in a certain position so that a shaft can rotate in it.
- the holding means used here is a bearing block on the support rail, which, as provided here according to the invention, can accommodate a rotatable pipe, preferably made of plastic, in at least one opening.
- the two bearing blocks arranged at the free ends of the support rail have an opening which is designed as a blind hole. This means that the two bearing blocks are open on one side and closed on the side opposite the opening.
- a bearing block can also have a connection and/or a valve for the inflow of a cleaning liquid.
- a pipeline T-piece formed from a pipeline is rotatably arranged in a holding means or bearing block, the pipeline T-piece having a branch to which a cleaning lance is detachably connected.
- the middle bearing block which is arranged between the two outer bearing blocks, has a through opening and also lies on the same center line of the blind bores of the other two bearing blocks.
- a sealing ring preferably an O-ring, is arranged at the entrance of the bores, which prevents cleaning liquid from escaping.
- the sealing ring can be dispensed with because the ends of the pipes inserted into the openings of the bearing blocks are closed. This is the case if the connection for the cleaning liquid is provided centrally on the bearing block arranged between two bearing blocks.
- the middle bearing block has another inventive feature.
- the special feature of the bearing block arranged between two bearing blocks is that a connection for the inlet of cleaning fluid is formed on it, whereby the connection can also consist of a releasable connection coupling.
- the design of an external bearing block or the external holding means, which are arranged to the right and left of the central bearing block on the support rail, can also advantageously be designed with a connection for the inlet of a cleaning liquid.
- the other special feature is that the middle bearing block with the through opening can have two valves and thus also takes on the function of an opening or closing valve for the inflow of the cleaning fluid.
- the inventive support rail thus has a number of advantages that result from the arrangement of the bearing blocks on the support rail.
- An advantage arises due to the bearing blocks arranged in a row and on the same center line, but at different distances, preferably at equidistant distances. Several Cleaning lances can therefore be available for the bottle washing system.
- Another advantage is that the pipes inserted into the bores of the bearing blocks are designed to be rotatable through a certain angle, preferably between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.
- a pipeline in the embodiment of a T-piece is inserted between two opposing bearing blocks, whereby the pipeline T-piece becomes rotatable due to the two bearing blocks.
- the right or left bearing block has a connection for a cleaning fluid.
- this bearing block there is also a valve for the cleaning fluid to flow into the pipe T-piece, which can be opened and closed.
- three bearing blocks are arranged on the support rail.
- the three bearing blocks arranged on the support rail form two distances, each distance being equipped with a pipe T-piece.
- the connection for the cleaning liquid is located in the middle of the three bearing blocks.
- this middle bearing block there are also two valves that can be opened and closed for the cleaning liquid to flow into the two pipe T-pieces.
- One valve controls the inflow of cleaning liquid for the pipe T-piece connected to the left and the other valve controls the cleaning liquid for the pipe T-piece connected to the right.
- the two opposing free ends of the pipeline T-pieces are therefore inserted into the respective bore of the opposing and spaced bearing blocks.
- a pipe tee forms a connecting link that in most cases enables a branch to an existing connection.
- T-pieces are available for various technical areas of application.
- the T-piece for pipe connections is used as a liquid routing system.
- the pipe T-piece represents the base element for the bottle rinsing system in the liquid control system.
- these can also accommodate four bearing blocks, whereby three distances are formed between the bearing blocks, each of which has a pipe T-piece record, resulting in three Connecting links or three branches result. It is also conceivable that additional bearing blocks can be arranged on the support rail, thereby increasing the number of bearing blocks and thus the number of pipeline T-pieces and branches.
- the elongated support rail can extend over the entire length of a dishwasher basket and thus contain several cleaning lances.
- the cleaning lance according to the invention has many advantages.
- the cleaning lance is formed from a hollow body, preferably a tubular body, which is closed at its tapering end and has an opening at the other end for the supply of cleaning liquid.
- the opening can be designed with a connecting coupling.
- a rotating element is also provided, whereby the cleaning lance becomes a rotating body.
- the tubular body has openings on its circumference or on its lateral surface and distributed over the length of the tubular body. The openings can be distributed symmetrically around the circumference and at equidistant intervals along the length.
- the openings are designed as pointed nozzles for passing cleaning liquid through in order to wet and thus clean the inner surface of a cavity.
- the diameter of the tubular body or the cleaning lance is approximately adapted to the diameter of the bottle necks.
- the diameter of the cleaning lance is a certain amount smaller than the diameter of a bottle neck so that the cleaning liquid can flow freely from the interior of a bottle.
- a cleaning lance is raised by a certain angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, with the pipeline T-piece opening a valve in the holding means or in the bearing block.
- a hollow body preferably a bottle
- the support bracket is foldable and can be folded up from a basic position and folded down again. In the basic position, the support bracket rests on the bottom wires of the dish rack. After inserting the dish rack into the dishwasher, the cleaning process of the bottle washing system can begin. After the cleaning process, the dish rack is pulled out again and one or more bottles are removed from the cleaning lances.

Either the branch 26.1 or the connecting coupling 27 or the rotating element 28 is connected to this opening 56. Furthermore, the tubular body has openings 31 on its circumference or on its lateral surface 30. The openings 31 are distributed along the length of the tubular body. The openings 31 can be distributed symmetrically along the circumference and/or at equidistant intervals along the length. The openings 31 serve as pointed nozzles 32 for passing the cleaning liquid through in order to wet the inner surface 33 of a cavity of a bottle 29 (see FIG. 1) and thus clean it.
- the diameter 64 of the tubular body or the cleaning lance 9.1 is approximately adapted to the diameter of the bottle necks 37.
- the diameter 64 of the cleaning lance 9.1 is a certain amount smaller than the diameter of a bottle neck 37, so that the Cleaning liquid can flow freely from the interior of a bottle 29.
- the length 75 of a cleaning lance 9.1 is approximately adapted to the height of a bottle 29. Because there are bottles 29 of different sizes, there are cleaning lances 9.1 of different lengths.
- the free end 55 of the cleaning lance 9.1 is a few centimeters away from the bottle bottom 76. Due to the arrangement of the spray nozzles 32 and the obliquely arranged openings 31 on the tapered end 55, the inside of the bottle base 76 (see FIG. 1) is optimally cleaned of contaminants.
- the cleaning lances 9.1, 9.2 can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the connecting coupling 27.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic representation of two support brackets 10.1, 10.2 for supporting bottles 29, as shown in FIG.
- a support bracket 10.1, 10.2 is formed from the same wire 65 as a dish rack 17.
- a support bracket 10.1, 10.2 is attached to the floor wires 15 on the inside 19 of a dish rack 17 (see Fig. 1).
- clamping means 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4 are arranged at the free ends 66.1, 66.2, 66.3, 66.4 of the wire 65.
- the clamping means 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4 grip around the bottom wire 15 of the crockery basket 17.
- the wire 65 of a support bracket 10.1, 10.2 is rotatably fastened in the clamping means 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4. Due to the rotatability of a support bracket 10.1, 10.2, it can be folded up from a basic position 68 into a support position 69 and folded down again. Between the basic position 68 and the support position 69 there is an angle 34 between 80 degrees and 120 degrees, advantageously 90 degrees, with the support bracket 10.1, 10.2 releasably engaging in the support position 69 in the clamping means 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4.
- a bottle belly 41 of a bottle 29 can be placed on the cross strut 70.1, 70.2, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the cross strut 70.1, 70.2 as shown, consists of a horizontally arranged wire which has two free ends and has a length of between approximately 3 cm to 10 cm, preferably 10 cm.
- the cross strut 70.1, 70.2 can also have a curved shape, approximately the radius of the bottle belly 41, whereby a stable position of the bottle 29 is achieved (not shown).
- the support bracket 10.2 is folded down and rests on the bottom wires 15 of the crockery basket 17.
- a support bracket 10.1, 10.2 has approximately the shape of a rectangular function.
- the horizontal parts 72.1, 72.2, 72.3, 72.4 of the wire 65 are rotatably arranged about their center line 71 in the clamping means 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4.
- the cross strut 70.1, 70.2 is spaced parallel to the center line 71 of the horizontal parts 72.1, 72.2, 72.3, 72.4 of the wire 65.
- a special feature of the support bracket 10.1, 10.2 is that the vertical parts 73.1, 73.2, 73.3, 73.4 of the wire 65 do not merge straight or vertically into the cross strut 70.1, 70.2, but are bent around a certain radius 77.1, 77.2, 77.3, 77.4 , whereby the two cross struts 70.1, 70.2 do not lie in the same plane as the horizontal and vertical wire 65.
- the plane of the cross strut 70.1, 70.2 is spaced from the plane of the horizontal and vertical wire 65 by a certain amount. The amount corresponds approximately to the diameter 64 of a cleaning lance 9.1.
- the cross strut 70.2 is therefore located slightly below the bottom wires 15 of the crockery basket 17 and serves as a support for the lying cleaning lance 9.1, which is also in the rest position 39 (see FIG. 1).
