Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for taking out a carrier basket in a bottle washing machine in which bottles to be washed are conveyed by a carrier basket attached to an endless carrier chain.

When a carrier basket is installed in a bottle washing machine, it is usually not removed.

However, in recent years, there has been a desire for a bottle washing machine that can handle both small-capacity pins and large-capacity bottles, and with the shift to plastic holders attached to carrier baskets, attempts have been made to make this an attachment exclusively for large and small bottles.

In such a case, it is advantageous for work efficiency to take out the carrier basket from inside the machine and replace the attachment.

Furthermore, when repairing the carrier basket, it is necessary to take it out of the machine.

The present invention takes the above circumstances into consideration and aims to provide a device that allows easy removal of the carrier basket.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an outlet and an intake port for the endless carrier basket connector at the inlet and outlet of the lower return passage of the circulation path of the endless carrier basket connector formed inside the bottle washing machine body, respectively. A rail, on which the cart moves, is provided with a port and has a loading/unloading guide for the carrier basket coupling body, and is laid along the longitudinal direction below the return passage and outside the bottle washer main body, and A winch for pulling in the carrier basket coupling body and for driving the trolley to be pulled in is provided near the end of the exit of the return passage, and a winch for driving the trolley drawer is provided near the end of the rail outside the bottle washer main body. This allows for easy removal and installation of the carrier basket connection body from the bottle washer body when replacing or repairing the carrier basket connection body inside the bottle washer body. It is something that can be done.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 is the main body of the bottle washer, and sprockets 2 and 3 at the front and rear ends
An endless carrier basket connection body 5 is hung from an intermediate sprocket 4 (part of which is shown in FIG. 2).

The carrier basket connection body 5 is made up of a plurality of carrier baskets 7 attached between a pair of carrier chains 6, and each carrier basket 7 has a plurality of carrier baskets 7 along its longitudinal direction, that is, the width direction of the bottle washer body 1. A bottle holder is attached.

A cleaning tank 8 is provided in the circulation path of the carrier basket connection body 5.
Cleaning means such as a felling spray nozzle is arranged.

Further, a bottle feeder 9 is provided opposite the front end of the bottle washing machine main body 1, and a bottle discharge device is provided at the rear end.

The bottom wall of the bottle washer body 1 is formed into a double bottom, and a return passage 10 for the carrier basket connection body 5 is formed between the bottom walls.

As shown in FIG. 2, the return passage 10 consists of guide rails for guiding the carrier chain 6 of the carrier basket coupling body 5 provided only on both sides.
A portion of the guide rail near the inlet and outlet portions are cut out to form an outlet 10a and an inlet 10b through which the carrier basket connector 5 can pass.

At the rear of the bottle washer body 1 is a bottle inspection machine 11 as shown in Figure 3.
and a bottling machine 12 are installed.

A carrier basket connection body 5 is located below the bottle washer main body 1.
A take-out pit 13 is provided.

The take-out pit 13 extends along the entire length of the bottle washer and further extends rearward from the side end of the bottle discharging section.

A rail 14 is provided in the take-out pit 13 in the front-rear direction, that is, along the longitudinal direction of the circulation path, and a cart 15 is installed on the rail 14.

The trolley 15 has, on both side edges, loading/unloading guides 16 used for loading/unloading the carrier chain 6 of the carrier basket coupling body 5.

At the front end of the take-out pit 13, a winch 17 having a pulling rope 21 used for pulling in the carrier basket connector 5 and driving the trolley 15 to pull in is provided, and a lifting winch 18 is provided above the winch 17.

A winch 19 for driving the pull-out truck 15 is provided at the rear end of the take-out pit 13.

The rear upper surface of the take-out pit 13 is closed by a walkway 20 that can be opened and closed.

Next, the extraction operation will be explained.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the carrier chain 6 of the carrier basket connection body 5 is cut off at a point P near the outlet 10a at the entrance of the return passage 10, and the tip of the cut off carrier chain 6 is used for tensioning. It is connected to the rope 21, and the carriage 1 is moved by the winch 17 through the take-out port 10a.
5 onto the loading/unloading guide 16.

The rope 21 is connected by a connecting hook 22 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Thereafter, the rear part of the carrier basket link 5 on the trolley 15 is separated from the carrier basket link 5 of the cutting waist annular path at a suitable length.

As shown in FIG.
), it is replaced with a new carrier basket connection body 5 here, or it is further transported to another location by a crane 23 or the like and replaced with a new carrier basket connection body 5.

The new carrier basket connection body 5 that has been replaced on the trolley 15 is connected to the pulling rope 21 of the winch 17 and carried to the lower part of the bottle washing machine main body 1 by the trolley 15 which is pulled in and driven. Lifting winch 1
8 through the intake port 10b, and moved to the vicinity of the outlet of the return passage 10 by the previous pull-out operation by the winch 17.
Connect to the rear end of the

Then, pull the tension rope 21 to the point near the outlet 10a.
After connecting to the tip of the remaining carrier basket connected body 5 located at the point, the unloading operation is performed again, and the carrier basket connected body 5 in the circulation path is guided onto the loading/unloading guide 16 of the trolley 15 through the unloading port 10a, and at the same time, the trolley The carrier basket connection body 5 on the top 15 is introduced into the circulation path within the bottle washer main body 1 through the intake port 10b.

When repeating this and connecting the carrier basket connectors 5 of the entire circulation path in an endless manner, connect the tip of the last carrier basket connector 5 of the truck 15 located below the return path 10 to the carrier basket connectors 5 of the circulation path. After connecting to the rear end, the leading end of the carrier basket coupling body 5 of the circulation path located at the entrance of the return passage 10 is guided into the return passage 10, and is pulled onto the guide rail of the return passage 10 by the pulling rope 21. is guided and connected to the rearmost end of the carrier basket coupling body 5 taken in from the truck 15 through the intake port 10b near the intake port 10b to form an endless shape.

Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to the case where the entire carrier basket coupling body 5 is replaced, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a case where the carrier basket coupling body 5 is partially taken out, repaired, and then reinstalled into the machine. Nor.

The longer the length of the take-out pit 13 is, the better in order to reduce the number of times the carrier socket connection body 5 is cut. However, the length of the extraction pit may be appropriately selected depending on the installation conditions.

J.I.J.

As described above, according to the present invention, a trolley having a carry-in/out guide for the carrier basket connector is installed below the bottle washing machine, and the trolley is connected to the bottom of the return path of the carrier basket connector circulation path and between the washing bottles. In addition to being movable to the outside of the machine, the winch for driving the trolley pull-in also doubles as pulling the carrier basket connector onto the loading/unloading guide, so the carrier basket connector can be replaced with one of a different specification. When carrying out maintenance or repair, the carrier basket assembly can be easily and quickly taken out.
