Description

Washing machine for olives bottles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine washing machine, which has been specially designed for cleaning bottles used in the handling of olives.

The object of the invention is to achieve a machine that ensures a perfect wash, so Fully automatic, with remarkable savings in both labor as in time and in cleaning water.

Background of the invention

As is known, when the olive goes to direct consumption, it undergoes a treatment whose description does not it comes to the case, in which considerable bottles participate capacity, like plastic jars, which must be conveniently washed every time an operating cycle ends or of using them.

Currently these washing operations of the aforementioned cylinders are carried out manually, which brings I get a problem with a double aspect.

-

By one side requires a large participation of labor, what which supposes not only an economic cost but also a uncertainty in the results, from the hygienic point of view, since the final state of each cylinder will depend on the ability of the operator in charge of washing it, of the time and interest that it puts for such work, etc.

-

By on the other hand there is a high consumption of water and detergent, which on the one hand it means wasting a good more and more scarce, specifically water, and on the other hand pollution environmental that involves the pouring of detergents.

Description of the invention

The washing machine proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, in the two aspects commented, since when working said machine fully automatically, on the one hand minimizes very considerable form of labor required for the washing, and on the other ensures a perfect cleaning of the bottles, totally homogeneous for all of them, with the minimum consumption preset of both water and detergent.

For this and more specifically the machine that it is recommended that it is constituted from a chassis of dimensions and adequate mechanical resistance, which is crossed by a conveyor for feeding / output of said cylinders, preferably provided with a drag chain moved by the corresponding motor reducer.

On said conveyor and inside of the chassis, a pneumatic clamp is placed to tie the cylinders, which are supplied to the machine in pairs and in inverted position, said clip being mounted on a carriage of vertical displacement, which allows the elevation and descent of the same, and consequently of the bottle or preferably couple of bottles associated with it, scrollable car with the contest of pinion-rack type mechanisms, actuated by the corresponding lifting motor.

This vertical scroll car is mounted on a second car, horizontally sliding, which allows the pair of cylinders, once they have reached the inside the washing machine, and have been tied by the clamp pneumatic, be displaced laterally, towards the other half of the machine chassis, where the washing of the same.

In this second side area of the chassis you set a pair of cleaning brushes, one for each cylinder, preferably operated jointly and by a single motor, materializing each cleaning brush in a kind of large mop, which descends the bottle corresponding penetrates inside it, and that when turning causes a superficial and helical action that ensures a Perfect cleaning of the inner surface of the bottle. Each of these brushes incorporates in its free end nozzles for projection on the bottom of the bottle, of water with detergent, which socket of a main wash tank located under the aforementioned brushes, pushing it against the cylinders by the pressure of a bomb.

So and as long as it is not necessary to make a change in water, due to excessive dirt of the same, the aforementioned pump draws water from the main wash tank, drives it against inside the jars, and return back to said tank principal, for its indefinite reuse, as long as the conditions of the same do not advise its elimination and replacement for clean water.

Finally and as a complement to the structure described, in the exit zone of the bottle conveyor, is say beyond the washing area and outside the chassis, it establishes a secondary tank, of smaller capacity than the first, for rinsing the bottle, in which a second pump drinks water of the same and projects it against the inside of the cylinders, to pick it up again after rinsing them, and for your indefinite reuse until its level of dirt make replacement advisable.

All machine maneuvers are controlled by a programmer or automaton, so that the input conveyor advances by a magnitude corresponding to two cylinders, which are introduced into the chassis of the machine, the vertical car descends on them, the clamps close and the two cylinders are tied to the aforementioned vertical car, which move on the horizontal guides to take the cylinders to the cleaning area, where the vertical car descends again to that the bottles are washed, leaving the mochos inside of these, at which time the latter's turn begins for cleaning, which is ensured, homogeneously throughout the inner surface of the bottles. Finished this operation of cleaning the vertical displacement car ascends to Make the bottles clean the cleaning brushes, then the transverse carriage moves to the opposite area of the chassis, that is until the cylinders face the conveyor of cylinders, at which point the vertical car descends and the pneumatic clamp opens, leaving the cylinders already washed deposited on the conveyor, at which time it advances from again removing them from the chassis and leaving them in a terminal sector of the conveyor, superimposed on a small secondary tank of rinse that, with the collaboration of nozzles such as those incorporate the mochos of the previous mechanism, ensure the Ultimate and optimal cleaning of the bottles.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can Observe how the washing machine proposed by the invention is constituted from a chassis (1), which closes perimeter with the collaboration of the corresponding housing (2), part of which is non-existent in Figure 1 to show with  greater clarity the internal structure of the machine, defining said housing two facing openings (3-3 '), a inbound and outbound, in correspondence with which to lower level a conveyor (4) is established for feeding of the cylinders (5), provided with a drive chain moved by a motor reducer (6).

These openings (3-3 ') are laterally offset, so that between them a passage area for the conveyor (4), while in the other half is located the zone (7) of washing the bottles.

The conveyor (4) will be provided with studs in your chains or any other type of stop that ensures a correct positioning for the cylinders (5) in their access to the inside the chassis (1), regardless of the size of the same, producing its advance at intervals equivalent to two cylinders (5), as shown in the figures.

Inside the chassis, specifically in the middle  corresponding to the conveyor (4) a clamp has been established pneumatic (8) double, that is, capable of fixing two cylinders (5) in inverted position, said clamp (8) being mounted on a carriage (9) of vertical displacement, provided with zippers (10) on the ones that act respectively pinions (11) conveniently motorized, so that said car (9) is able to descend in empty to pick up a couple of bottles, fix them with your clamp pneumatic (8), and raise them to a level above the determined by a pair of mochos or cleaners (12) located in correspondence with the other half of the chassis (1), the alien to the conveyor (4).

The carriage (9) of vertical displacement will be mounted on a second carriage (13) horizontally movable on guides (14) and also conveniently motorized, in this case acting through a chain (15) mounted on pinions ends (16).

Through this horizontal car the couple of cylinders (5) in process, are likely to become facing the respective mochos (12), mounted with its axis in vertical arrangement on a lower platform (17) that constitutes the lid of a water supply tank of cleaning with its corresponding detergent, both males being (17) operated by a common motor reducer (18), and being its filaments of appropriate length so describing the helical path that has been schematically represented in the figures, be able to rub and scrub the inner wall of the cylinders (5) in all its extension.

Water from the tank or wash tank main (19) established under the platform (17), is driven by means of a pump, not shown, through the hollow interior of the axes of the mochos (12), to nozzles (21) established in their upper limb, which project the water on the upper lateral zone of the cylinders.

After washing, the carriage vertical displacement (9) ascends to a limit level superior, at that time it is displaced transversely by the horizontal car, then the vertical car acts again, in the opposite direction, for lowering the cylinders to the level of the conveyor, and finally the clamp opens leaving said cylinders already washed on the conveyor, able to leave of the machine through the outlet (3 ') to reach a rinse or rinse area, where lifting nozzles and not represented in the figures penetrate inside the cylinders (5) and supply these with pressurized water, with the collaboration of a second pump, for definitive cleaning of the same.

It only remains to emphasize again that, as already said before, both the cleaning water and the water of rinse and rinse return back to the machine for reuse as many times as advisable until it reaches a level of dirt that makes it unusable, which obviously it represents a very considerable saving of both water and detergents contributed to it.
