Description

本発明は、容器を洗浄する洗浄装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a container.

飲料用、薬剤用、薬液用等の容器を洗浄する洗浄装置が知られている。このような洗浄装置は、例えば、容器を倒立状態で搬送するコンベアと、該コンベアによって搬送されている容器とともに移動しながら容器に向けて洗浄液を噴射する噴射部とを備えている。
特開平7−8934号公報
2. Description of the Related Art A cleaning device that cleans containers for beverages, drugs, chemicals, and the like is known. Such a cleaning apparatus includes, for example, a conveyor that conveys containers in an inverted state, and an ejection unit that ejects cleaning liquid toward the containers while moving together with the containers being conveyed by the conveyors.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-8934

胴径が小さい容器の洗浄においては、噴射部からその軸方向に洗浄液を噴射して容器の内側底部に吹き付ける方式においても十分な洗浄が可能である。この場合、容器の内側底部に吹き付けられた洗浄液は、内側底部で放射状に拡散して容器の内壁全体を伝って容器から排出される。   In the case of cleaning a container having a small trunk diameter, sufficient cleaning is possible even in a system in which a cleaning liquid is sprayed from the spraying portion in the axial direction and sprayed to the inner bottom portion of the container. In this case, the cleaning liquid sprayed on the inner bottom portion of the container is diffused radially at the inner bottom portion and is discharged from the container along the entire inner wall of the container.

しかしながら、胴径が大きい容器の洗浄においては、上記のように噴射部からその軸方向に洗浄液を噴射する方式では、容器の内部全体を十分に洗浄することが難しい。胴径が大きい容器の洗浄においては、容器の内側底部で洗浄液を均一或いは十分に放射状に拡散させることができない。そのため、容器の内壁の一部にしか洗浄液が供給されず、内壁の洗浄が不十分になり易い。   However, in cleaning a container having a large body diameter, it is difficult to sufficiently clean the entire interior of the container by the method in which the cleaning liquid is sprayed in the axial direction from the spray section as described above. In cleaning a container having a large trunk diameter, the cleaning liquid cannot be diffused uniformly or sufficiently radially at the inner bottom of the container. For this reason, the cleaning liquid is supplied only to a part of the inner wall of the container, and the inner wall tends to be insufficiently cleaned.

このような洗浄不良を防止するために洗浄液の噴射量を大きくすることが考えられるが、この場合には、必要な洗浄液の量が膨大になる。また、胴径が異なる複数種の容器を洗浄する場合には、容器の種類を変更する度に洗浄液の噴射量を変更する必要もある。   In order to prevent such poor cleaning, it is conceivable to increase the spray amount of the cleaning liquid, but in this case, the amount of the cleaning liquid required is enormous. Further, when cleaning a plurality of types of containers having different trunk diameters, it is necessary to change the spray amount of the cleaning liquid every time the type of the container is changed.

本発明は、上記の考察に基づいてなされたものであり、例えば、容器の内部を少ない洗浄液で効率的かつより確実に洗浄することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made on the basis of the above considerations. For example, an object of the present invention is to efficiently and more reliably clean the inside of a container with a small amount of cleaning liquid.

本発明は、容器を洗浄する洗浄装置に係り、前記洗浄装置は、容器を倒立状態で把持して搬送するコンベアと、前記コンベアによって搬送されている容器の内部に向けて洗浄液を噴射する噴射部とを備える。前記噴射部は、洗浄液を扇状に噴射しながら回転するノズルヘッドを有する。   The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a container, wherein the cleaning device grips and conveys the container in an inverted state, and an injection unit that ejects cleaning liquid toward the inside of the container being conveyed by the conveyor With. The spray unit has a nozzle head that rotates while spraying the cleaning liquid in a fan shape.

本発明の好適な実施形態によれば、前記噴射部は、前記ノズルヘッドに作用する洗浄液の圧力によって前記ノズルヘッドが回転するように構成されることが好ましい。   According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the ejection unit is configured such that the nozzle head is rotated by the pressure of a cleaning liquid that acts on the nozzle head.

本発明によれば、例えば、容器の内部を少ない洗浄液で効率的かつより確実に洗浄することができる。   According to the present invention, for example, the inside of a container can be efficiently and more reliably cleaned with a small amount of cleaning liquid.

以下、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態を説明する。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1は、本発明の好適な実施形態の洗浄装置の側面図である。本発明の好適な実施形態の洗浄装置は、例えば、飲料用、薬剤用、薬液用等の任意の容器を洗浄するように構成されうる。   FIG. 1 is a side view of a cleaning apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention can be configured to clean any container, for example, for beverages, drugs, and chemicals.

洗浄装置100は、容器10を把持部22によって倒立状態で把持して搬送するコンベア20と、コンベア20によって搬送されている容器10の内部に向けて洗浄液を噴射する噴射部30とを備えている。コンベア20は、例えば、容器10を把持する面が対向する一対のコンベアで構成されうる。典型的には、複数の噴射部30が容器10の搬送方向Aに沿って配列されて洗浄ユニット40が構成される。   The cleaning apparatus 100 includes a conveyor 20 that holds and conveys the container 10 in an inverted state by the grasping unit 22, and an injection unit 30 that injects the cleaning liquid toward the inside of the container 10 being conveyed by the conveyor 20. . For example, the conveyor 20 may be configured by a pair of conveyors that face each other to hold the container 10. Typically, the cleaning unit 40 is configured by arranging a plurality of injection units 30 along the conveyance direction A of the container 10.

洗浄ユニット40或いは噴射部30は、コンベア20による容器10の搬送に追随するように駆動機構60によって往復駆動される。往復駆動の1サイクルは、一群の容器10の移動に追随して容器10の搬送方向Aと同方向Bに移動する区間と、後続の一群の容器10を洗浄する準備のために容器10と逆方向Cに移動する区間とを含む。なお、洗浄ユニット40或いは噴射部30を容器10の移動(搬送)に追随させる方式として他の方式を採用することもでき、例えば、特許文献1に記載されたように無端のコンベアによって洗浄ユニット40或いは噴射部30を容器10に追随させてもよい。   The cleaning unit 40 or the injection unit 30 is reciprocally driven by the drive mechanism 60 so as to follow the conveyance of the container 10 by the conveyor 20. One cycle of the reciprocating drive follows the movement of the group of containers 10 and moves in the same direction B as the conveyance direction A of the containers 10 and the reverse of the containers 10 in preparation for cleaning the subsequent group of containers 10. And a section moving in the direction C. In addition, another system can also be employ | adopted as a system which makes the washing | cleaning unit 40 or the injection part 30 follow the movement (conveyance) of the container 10, for example, as described in patent document 1, the washing | cleaning unit 40 by an endless conveyor. Or you may make the injection | pouring part 30 follow the container 10. FIG.

噴射部30は、洗浄液(例えば、洗剤、水)を扇状に噴射しながら回転するノズルヘッド32を有する。噴射部30は、ノズルヘッド32に作用する洗浄液の圧力によってノズルヘッド32が回転するように構成されることが好ましい。   The ejection unit 30 includes a nozzle head 32 that rotates while ejecting a cleaning liquid (for example, detergent, water) in a fan shape. The ejection unit 30 is preferably configured such that the nozzle head 32 is rotated by the pressure of the cleaning liquid acting on the nozzle head 32.

図2〜図5は、噴射部30の構成例を示す図である。図2(a)、(b)、(c)は、それぞれ噴射部30の平面図、正面図、側面図である。図3は、図2(a)のa−a’線における断面図、図4は、図2(a)のb−b’線における断面を含む側面図、図5は、斜視図である。   2-5 is a figure which shows the structural example of the injection part 30. As shown in FIG. 2A, 2B, and 2C are a plan view, a front view, and a side view of the injection unit 30, respectively. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line a-a ′ in FIG. 2A, FIG. 4 is a side view including a cross-section taken along line b-b ′ in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view.

噴射部30は、洗浄液の圧力によって回転するノズルヘッド32と、ノズルヘッド32を回転可能に保持する保持部34と、ノズルヘッド32と保持部34との間に配置されたベアリング36とを備える。   The ejection unit 30 includes a nozzle head 32 that is rotated by the pressure of the cleaning liquid, a holding unit 34 that rotatably holds the nozzle head 32, and a bearing 36 that is disposed between the nozzle head 32 and the holding unit 34.

保持部34は、例えば、洗浄液の供給管として機能する内筒35に外筒37及びベアリング36を装着し、内筒35に固定部材(例えば、Eリング、Cリング)38を装着することによって構成されうる。ノズルヘッド32は、例えば、その内側に形成された溝にOリング(固定部材)39を配置した状態で、保持部34に装着されうる。この際に、ベアリング36の外輪がOリング39によって保持される。   The holding unit 34 is configured by, for example, mounting an outer cylinder 37 and a bearing 36 on an inner cylinder 35 that functions as a cleaning liquid supply pipe, and mounting a fixing member (for example, an E ring or a C ring) 38 on the inner cylinder 35. Can be done. For example, the nozzle head 32 can be attached to the holding portion 34 in a state where an O-ring (fixing member) 39 is disposed in a groove formed on the inside thereof. At this time, the outer ring of the bearing 36 is held by the O-ring 39.

ノズルヘッド32は、ノズルヘッド32を中心としてほぼ鉛直方向の面内で末広がりになる扇状に洗浄液50a、50bを噴射する噴射口32a、32bを有する。噴射口32a、32bをノズルヘッド32の中心軸に対して偏心させて配置することによって、内筒35を通して供給され噴射口32a、32bを通して噴射される洗浄液の圧力によってノズルヘッド32にモーメントが作用して回転する。   The nozzle head 32 has ejection ports 32a and 32b that eject the cleaning liquids 50a and 50b in a fan shape that spreads in a substantially vertical plane around the nozzle head 32. By arranging the ejection ports 32a and 32b eccentrically with respect to the central axis of the nozzle head 32, a moment acts on the nozzle head 32 by the pressure of the cleaning liquid supplied through the inner cylinder 35 and ejected through the ejection ports 32a and 32b. Rotate.

したがって、コンベア20によって搬送されている容器20の内部に対して、回転状態のノズルヘッド32から扇状に噴射される洗浄液50a、50bが吹き付けられる。これにより、比較的大型の容器20についても、比較的少量の洗浄液によって、その内部(低部、内壁)が満遍なく洗浄される。   Therefore, the cleaning liquids 50a and 50b sprayed in a fan shape from the rotating nozzle head 32 are sprayed on the inside of the container 20 being conveyed by the conveyor 20. Thereby, even the relatively large container 20 is uniformly cleaned with a relatively small amount of cleaning liquid (the lower portion and the inner wall).
