The proposed machine (Figs. 1-3) consists of the following parts: the dredging bath A, the rinsing and caulking chamber B, and the rotating apparatus C for filling, capping and washing.

The dredging bath A is an elongated wooden tank with a false bottom 3. Between the last and the bottom of the tank there is a tubular heater /, designed to maintain the required temperature of water or alkaline solution used to wash heavily soiled bottles. A thermometer is installed at the side of the tank to monitor the temperature of the solution and the water-indicating glass. The level of the solution or water in the tank is maintained by the outlet pipe 2.

The false bottom of the 3rd vat must have large gaps so that the dirt that “flushes from the surface of the bottles,” and glass fragments, when the bottles are worn, can “freely fall to the bottom of the vat, from where they are removed from time to time”: scraper or hoses. In addition, the large gaps of the false bottom make it possible, if necessary, to easily clean the coil. The bottom of the vat has a slope in Vao. The movement of the bottles of the squander bath A is made by a chain conveyor 4 of the scraper type (Fig. 2). 14a a pair of chains are placed on wooden "Scraper grabs 5, which, as they move, immerse empty bottles in solution, roll them over the false bottom of the vat and throw them at the other end of the vat into the appropriate nest 6, from where the bottles are seized by another conveyor 7 and enter the rinsing chamber . The scraper grippers 5 are made with cut-outs in the middle in order to reduce their experience when the resistance of the medium moves.

By the end of the vat, there are brushes 8 for the external wiping of the bottles, and wiping takes place automatically during the movement of the bottles on the false bottom of the vat.

The bottles soaked for four minutes in warm water or in an alkaline solution, half filled with water or soda solution, get into a special nest, from where they are captured by a rinse conveyor and dusting.

The rinsing and scalding apparatus 5 is one common chamber, heated inside with steam coming out of the bottles with the scalding, and fresh steam from the steam nozzles 9 when they are idle (return). To regulate the temperature of the scalding chamber, in its upper part there is an outflow pipe 10 with a gate, closing and opening which can be varied over a wide range as desired by the temperature of the chamber. Thus, steam is supplied to the chamber in the place where the bottles that have a sufficiently high temperature after rinsing with hot water fall into

at the opposite end of the chamber, as a result of which, when moving from one operation to another, the bottles do not undergo sharp temperature fluctuations, thanks to the appropriate use of the principle of counter flow in the movement of bottles and steam. Thermometers are installed at the bottom of the bottle to control the temperature of the chamber.

The movement of the bottles in the chamber occurs in the following sequence. Wooden decks / 2 with corresponding holes for the neck of the bottles are attached to the two chains of the conveyor, which are thrown over the gears //. Attached to these wooden decks for each, a bottle of steam consoles 13.

When moving the chains, they take the bottles from the nest, where they are thrown out by the conveyor of the ditch apparatus, and set them down into the holes of the decks 12. In this tilted position, the bottles are rinsed outside and inside first with warm water (40-50 °), then hot water (70-80) and, finally, on the scald with steam. The rinsing (water) 14vi caulking (steam) salt 9 is placed between the escaping and incoming ends of the conveyor chain and acts automatically. Their action is as follows. At a distance of the center of two neighboring bottles moving along the conveyor, the bottles are mounted inclined guides 26; the latter moves slider 27, equipped with two fingers 28 (Fig. 8), at the ends of which rollers 29 are fixed. The slider has a center hole B, in the upper part of which single or double nozzles 31 are installed depending on the required rinsing or scaling length of the bottles. From the bottom, the slider opening ends in a threaded port 32 screwed to the thread, and a flexible rubber hose 33 for water or steam is attached to

In its upper position, on the slider guides 26, all the time is retracted by a load 5-, the cable 55 connected to the nozzle, thrown over the guide roller 57. In order for the slider to move to the grips of its grippers, the slider engages decks of the conveyor attached stops (grips). When the conveyor is moving, these grippers engage the slider's rollers just at the moment when the bottleneck ends up above the nozzle, and drag this slider along. As the slider moves along an inclined guide skid, after a certain mileage, the rollers come out of the engagement and the slider with load 34 immediately returns to the stop 35, where the bottle already approaches the other.

The duration of rinsing and rasping may be varied by appropriately adjusting the slope of the slide rails. When an alkaline solution is used for soaking, the solution remaining in the bottle is returned to the soaked bath. For this purpose, a chute / 5 is installed under the driven chain, wheels of the feeder conveyor to collect the solution flowing out of the bottles when the latter, falling into the holes of the wooden decks, occupy an upright position. Water from the primary external and internal rinsing of the bottles can also be collected in vessels specially installed for this purpose, but, due to the low temperature of the WATER (about 40), its utilization is hardly beneficial from the thermal engineering side {a. The rinse water and the condensate after the scalding of the bottles are collected in the bowl 5 installed under the appropriate nozzles and fed to the tubular preheater to maintain the temperature in the steaming bath D within 70-75 °. When soda is not needed for soaking, condensate can be directly supplied to the bath, where the water is constantly changing, and thus the soaking will always occur in clean water.

The whole conveyor and the rinsing and scalding nozzles are placed above the tank, where all the water and condensate that is sprayed, then flows into the drain.

The tank is provided on one side with a tilting wall for easy removal of glass fragments falling from it during the fight. Sun camera,

especially in its scalding part, it must be well insulated or made of thick boards in the bungus. The slope of the Vao bottom. The conveyor speed is the same as for the master bath, i.e. 15 mm per second.

In view of the very small length of the conveyor, the use of rolling rollers is impractical here, since they unnecessarily complicate the conveyor and driving devices. Therefore, in order to avoid sagging of the leading end of the conveyor, all the upper part of the chain is moved by supporting squares 16.

After the caulking of the bottle, through a closed and highly heated chamber, they arrive at the rotating table in special boxes 77, convenient in height for filling, capping and pouring resin operations.

Purpose of the rinsing devices - to wash off from an internal surface; bottles, alkaline solution and dirt and, in addition, knock off with a strong x: water dusts all the grains of sand and particles of grease steam nozzles tightly adhering to the walls of the bottles, in order to uniformly heat the entire surface of the bottles, they must be conical, with expanding steam output the holes of the mIdl for smooth movement of the bottles and the avoidance of sharp shocks when the caulking chamber is fed from the conveyor to the rotating apparatus, the installation provides movably fixed guides 18 and 19 for the bottles that slide from the conveyor to filling and closing table.

Rotating apparatus C is brought into periodic rotation around the axis: by an automatic drive, and its action is coordinated with the movement of the previous apparatuses (steaming and sloping-steam). The device has six jobs. At the beginning of work, an empty box is installed on the free work space of the device. When turning on the VG full rotation of the apparatus, the clerk enters the chamber and a scalded bottle enters it. The bottle of S. LASHCHIKOM is centered on the index pin attached to the upper part of the chamber, and at the second turn, it turns itself on / into the turn exactly under

draft tap (Fig. 4 and 5). At the third turn, the bottle falls under the closure, at the fourth turn, it sets up with the tar, the fifth turn of the device (on Vi; turn) brings the bottle under the seal with tar 20, after which the bottle together with the drummer is immediately removed from the rotating device and fed to the inclined roller conveyor 2 / dl supply to the warehouse. After some cooling of the bottles, they are removed from the crate and placed for storage; the drawers from under them are fed again onto the rotating artnapaT. Thus, these bins will require a small amount for circulation within the warehouse and casting.

All six workstations of the rotating apparatus are carried simultaneously by an empty box, a box with an empty bottle, a box full under the closure, a box with a sealed bottle under the tar, a box with a bottle under the label.

The rotating table is mounted on a small foundation, on the upper surface of which the supports 22 are fixed. For rollers 23. On these rollers is a rotating table 39. A vertical shaft 24 is installed in the center of the table, equipped with a gear 25. The upper end of the shaft rotates in a vertical bearing.

To install the upper vertical bearing and filling-corking and osmolochny devices on both sides of the table diametrically opposite channel bars (or I-beams) are installed, which are connected at the top with channel iron (Fig. 1). The distances between the working places of the rotating table must be strictly maintained so that when the table turns, the neck of the bottle falls exactly below the working places. The rotation of the table on the VG axle turn is accomplished with the help of the ji gear transmission of the arresting devices.

The filling device consists of two metering cylinders and a special distribution valve (Fig. 4) with a moving sleeve, which serves to connect the end of the filling tube 41 to the neck of the bottle.

To lower the clutch 40, they are intended to erase} cn 7 (Fig. 5), which pass through the retaining push

a lever washer 48 and a plug 49 of the crane and also serve for the subsequent opening of the valve when the said washer is rotated. The crane has such a device that by turning and lowering its handle 42, the product collector is connected to one of the dosing cylinders; at this time, another dosing cylinder is in communication with the filling tube. Therefore, when filling one of the cylinders, product flows into the bottle from the other cylinder. When the crane is rotated at a certain angle, the last cylinder communicates with the collection, and the first one - with a substituted bottle. The handle of the crane is connected by means of tg and coil springs 43 to the coupling, so that by lowering the handle the coupling is also lowered, as a result of which its lower end fits snugly to the neck of the bottle.

The dosing cylinder is heated by a steam jacket. Covers are arranged removable on the bolts. A thermometer is installed in the pipeline from the metering cylinder to the bottle to monitor the temperature of the product to be dispensed.

A collection for the product, coils, the entire pipeline from the collection to the bottle, the inner walls of the metering cylinders and adjustment tubes are best made of tinned copper tubes.

To flush the entire filling device with a pipeline to the upper end of the adjustment tubes and to the pipe from the collector, pipes for supplying hot water are attached.

After filling, the table is turned on the Vo turn and the bottle fits the closure (Fig. B). The bottle should be capped so that the top edge of the cork after capping is below the top edge of the neck by 2-zli. " For this, the bottle must be set at a strictly defined level relative to the closure (iOHS, 44 (Fig. 7). This condition is fulfilled by the use of a lowering closure device.

The capping device consists of a sleeve # 5, into which the plug is inserted, a pushing needle 46 entering into it, and a lever. When you press the device handle, the lever is lowered together.

with a pusher needle, whereby the cork is pushed into the neck of the bottle, and a heater for tar is located in the house with the device. Heating the tar with an ordinary flame of a furnace is extremely inconvenient, is associated with waste of time and, in addition, makes it difficult to peryt the degree of heating. In view of this, an electric melting appliance is provided, such as an ordinary electric pan, and a variant of heating.

This device is a cylindrical vessel equipped with a nipple for the flow of molten tar. The nipple is equipped with a rod that ends in a cone, the amount of tar being poured is adjusted by raising and lowering it. To control the heating temperature of the tar, the heating winding is connected to the network successively through a resistor. Tar must be mixed from time to time. In cases where there is steam with a temperature sufficient to melt the tar, it is possible to dispense with the use of electricity by installing a steam coil in the melting tank. "

The preheater tar is associated with a device for applying a resin poured to the throat of the bottle of a metal stamp. Simultaneously with the opening of the nipple of the vessel to melt the tar, a punch is lowered with the help of a pb1 transfer and is attached to the neck of the bottle that has come under the pitch of the resin. The bottom surface of the stamp before each seal should be wetted with water.

The operation of the machine proceeds in the following sequence. The bottles supplied to the unit take one at a time and at one end of the soaking bath L are placed in a recumbent position on the two console 13 seated on the chain. As soon as the first bottle sinks into the bath, a second bottle is placed on the next pair of consoles, etc. .

Pass all space otmechechnogo

the vats, the bottles are automatically thrown into a special nest located on

the end of the vat next to the poloskaloshnoshparomny apparatus.

Then, the bottles from this nest are captured by the consoles and automatically transferred to the posalno-scalding apparatus. Rinsing and double-sparring operations take place without human hands. Here you only need to follow the work of the nozzles 14 and 9 of the rinsing and scalding devices. To do this, from time to time it is necessary to open the side windows of the apparatus and check how accurately the nozzles fit under the neck of the bottles. In addition, the work of the nozzles can be monitored by the weights 34, which actuate the rammers of the scalding device and are brought out of the apparatus. The quality of washing of bottles and the degree of their sterility largely depend on the proper operation of the flatting and scalding devices.

The caulk bottles are automatically fed to the rotating apparatus. In this case, special attention should be paid to the smoothness of planting the bottle in the box. To avoid bo when planting the bottom of the crate should be laid out with felt.

At the beginning of the rotating apparatus, the worker installs a box which, when the table is rotated on a full turn, approaches the exit point of the bottle, which, after landing in the box, is centered by the same worker who places empty boxes on the apparatus.

Later, at the next turn, the bottle is installed under the distribution valve (Fig. 4). As soon as the apparatus rotates, the worker, having made sure that the bottle is installed correctly, presses the handle 42, turns it and holds it in this position until the product stops flowing into the bottle, i.e., until the mass drains out of the dosing cylinder. After that, he turns the handle 42 so that the filling tube 41 is disconnected from the dosing cylinders.

When lowering handle # 2, it is necessary to ensure that the filling sleeve coupling 40 is properly seated, the coupling pressure is tight, and the end of the filling tube 4Т is in the neck of the bottle. Upon filling the bottle, the worker immediately imposes a sterilized perg & circle on the bottle throat and at this point his work ends.

Upon further rotation, the filled bottle is installed under the closure device (Fig. 6). Making sure that the bottle is correctly installed under the closure device, the worker lays the steamed cork in the machine coupling 45, presses the lever knob, and at the same time there is no fixture lowering the injecting needle by the knob - / (5 down, and thereby dropping the stopper into the bottle throat.

After capping, the bottles are placed under the resin instrument. The crane of this device must be adjusted so that the time spent for the amount of tar needed for one bottle does not exceed the duration of filling the bottle with a purge.

The tarred bottle is subsequently installed under the marking device associated with the osmolking apparatus so that the opening of the tar outflow opening causes the lowering. stamp of marking device.

The degree of melting of the tar should be monitored very strictly: the tar should not be too liquid, since in this case it will flow along the edges of the bottle neck; an excessively thick tar consistency is unsuitable for business, since tar will not pass through the sap of the smologreika, and, in addition, it sticks worse to the cork and bottle neck.

After marking the bottle together with the crate is moved away from the table onto the roller conveyor for delivery to the warehouse, and an empty crate is installed in its place.
