Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object improvements in the construction of machines for washing plates and dishes or mechanical members.
  • this automatic feed system is generally realized by two tracks formed of jointed chains carrying the baskets and drawing them along in a continuous manner by any hooking system, either by tenons carried by the baskets and fitting in the chains, or by abutments carried by the chains and controlling the feed of the baskets.
  • this conveying structure is driven by an electric motor, a speed reducing device and a series of chains and pinions ensuring the desired speed of the, feed.
  • the motor drives, at the same time, a centrifugal pump serving for the washing of the members contained in the baskets so that it can only rotate in a determined direction which is the direction of rotation of the pump.
  • the present invention has for its object a device ensuring the automatic feed of the baskets, which is essentially constituted by bars or links receiving by any suitable means, a reciprocating movement and carrying swinging tappets so arranged as to be automatically brought back into suitable positions in order to withdraw from the fulcrums of the baskets or to press against these fulcrums.
  • the driving tappets are, moreover, mounted on the rods or links so as to be capable of being easily removed and turned Over for changing the direction of advance of the baskets.
  • the automatic feed system according to the present invention is more simple, less expensive and less fragile than the chain system actually employed and it permits, moreover, of changing, in a few minutes, the direction of working of the machine, by using exactly the same constituent parts above defined.
  • This control of the feed allows, on the other hand, the sliding of the baskets on the translation members without detriment to the mechanism, for instance, where an obstacle prevents their advance at the exterior of the machine.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of the system according to the invention adapted to a machine for washing the plates and dishes or mechanical members, which is shown diagrammatically.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding end view partly in section.
  • Figure 3 is a detail view on an enlarged scale showing the members for feeding the baskets.
  • Figure 4 is a corresponding plan View.
  • Figure 5 shows the same members in the return position for reversing the direction of feed of the baskets.
  • the machine for .1 gates and dishes or mechanical agrairlematically d at 1,
  • a speed reducing device 2 provided with a worm, carrying on its shaft 3, a crank 4 which, by means of a bearing and a link 6 transmits the movement to a bell crank constituted by levers 7 and 8 mounted on a common axis 9 journalled in the support 10.
  • a transverse axis 11 transmitting the reciprocating movement totwo longitudinal bars or links 12 and 13 which are each supported at the other end of the machine by a roller 14 and a raceway along the tappets 16, receivea reciprocating movement, of an amplitude superior to the pitch of the teeth of theiack, and determined by the stroke of-the crank l and the ratio ofthe levers"? and 8.
  • Each basket is introduced and pushed in the machine, in the direction of the arrow X indicated in Fig. 4, so that the front part of this basket is presented atleast at the level ofthe first tappet 16'of each bar or link.
  • This tappet in its backward movement automatically withdraws itself by freely pivot-- ing on its axis 17 when its hooking end 21 passes'under the first tooth 22 of the vrack which it encounters and springsup again at once, brought back in its position by the counterweight 23,as soon as its end 21 comes opposite the space 25 separating two adjacent teeth of the rack.
  • the abutment 26 takes a bearing on the bar 12 or 13 and in its forward movement, the tappet 16, still held by its abutment 26 and engaged by its end 21, in a hollow of the rack, pushes the basket, to an extent, equal to the throw of the bars 12 and 13.
  • the tappet Uponthe following displacement, the tappet takes a bearing on another tooth in the same conditions and so on, until another tappet takes up the basket. The latter is thus conv yed through the machine successively by each of the tappets.
  • the end of these tappets carries, at the front, a safety incline 28 which, in the case of an outside obstacle preventing the advance of the baskets, allows the tappets to move and lift the baskets without drawing them along, this doing away with all injury to the mechanism.
  • the above-described device permits, if necessary, of changing the direction of advance of the baskets.
  • each tappet being provided in duplicate for acting, whether the tappets are mounted in one direction or the other, the feeding of the baskets is efiected, when the tappets are in the position shown in Fig. 5, in the direction of the arrow Y, that is to say, in the reverse direction to that described in connection with Figs. 1 to l.
  • the device, forming the subject-matter of the present invention for automatically feeding the baskets in machines for washing plates and dishes or mechanical members, is simpler, stronger and cheaper than. the system of jointed chains actually used. It is also understood that it allows of changing the direction of feed of the baskets; this operation can be effected, in a few minutes, by any inexperienced person. Finally this device which allows, on the other hand, no provision of any special element or assemblage for one direction or the other, thus prevents all complication in the storing, the machining and the assembling in mass production.
