Claims

1. Device for loading and / or unloading containers, respectively, into and from the treatment chamber, comprising at least one lock wheel, rotatably mounted and provided with peripheral open lock doors for containers, characterized in that the lock wheel ( 4) is equipped with grippers (6) that are driven directly by the containers (1) and / or indirectly by the control device (5), which temporarily fix the containers (1) in the lock chambers (3).

2. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the containers (1) are held by grippers (6) in the lock chambers (3) in a hanging position without supporting the bottom, mainly without contact with the walls of the chambers.

3. The device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that each grip (6) contains at least two pivoting levers (8, 9) arranged by type of tongs, which are located mainly parallel to the plane of rotation of the lock wheel ( 4) and at least partially enter the corresponding lock chamber (3).

4. The device according to claim 3, characterized in that between the pivoting levers (8, 9) of each gripper (6) there is a rotary control cam (10) and an elastic means (11), causing together the movement of the opening and / or closing of the grippers (6 )

5. The device according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the pivoting levers (8, 9) of the gripper (6) are mounted on a base plate (12), which, in turn, is fixed mainly with the possibility of separation on the lock wheel (4) in the area of the inner wall of the corresponding chamber (3).

6. The device according to claim 4 or 5, characterized in that the control cams (10) open and / or close due to the stops (13-16), motionlessly located on the rotation path of the lock wheel (4), and the grippers (6) are stabilized in the turning zone in its opening or closing position due to the control cams (10) and / or elastic means (11).

7. The device according to one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the grippers (6) act on the periphery of the containers (1), mainly in the area of the neck or head, with a power and / or geometric closure.

8. The device according to claim 7, characterized in that the grippers (6) during transportation of the polyethylene bottles (1) act on them under the support ring or neck band (7) provided in the head area.

9. The device according to one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that a single lock wheel (4) is provided that provides both loading containers (1) into the processing chamber (2) and unloading containers (1) from the chamber (2) ) processing, while in the rotation zone of a single lock wheel (4) there are at least four sprockets (17-20) driven in synchronization with it in the opposite direction, two outside and two inside the processing chamber (2), which transmit containers (1) with a set step to the captures (6) of the lock wheel (4) or with a set step They are taken from the locks (6) of the lock wheel (4).

10. The device according to claim 9, characterized in that the sprockets (17, 20) located outside the processing chamber (2), in addition to the lock wheel (4), interact with the feed conveyor (21) for raw containers and the discharge conveyor (21) for treated containers (1), while both sprockets (18, 19) located inside the processing chamber (2) interact with a conveyor (23) transporting containers (1) through the processing chamber (2).

11. The device according to claim 9 or 10, characterized in that the sprockets (17-20) are equipped with actuators directly due to the containers (1) and / or indirectly due to the control device clamps (24), which act mainly on another section the periphery of the containers (1), rather than the captures (6) of the lock wheel (4).

12. The device according to claim 11, characterized in that each clamp (24) contains at least two scissor-mounted swivel arms (25, 26) located mainly parallel to the plane of rotation of the lock wheel (4) and at least partially temporarily enter its lock chambers (3).

13. The device according to claim 11, characterized in that between the pivoting shoulders (25, 26) of each clamp (24) is an elastic means (27) that preloads the pivoting shoulders (25, 26) in the closing direction, while on the free At the end of the pivoting arms (25, 26), beveled or rounded control surfaces (28, 29) are made, which, when the container (1) is pressed into the clamp (24), unclench it against the force of the elastic means (27).

14. The device according to one of paragraphs.11-13, characterized in that the clamps (24) of at least one sprocket (17-20) are installed with the possibility of controlled movement, mainly radially and / or, mainly, tangent to the axis of its rotation, so that the radial position or the mutual distance between the clamps (24) and their speed can cyclically change during one revolution of the sprocket (17-20).

15. The device according to one of claims 8 to 15, characterized in that the clamps (24) during transportation of the polyethylene bottles act on them above the carrier ring or neck band (7) provided in the head area.
