Definitions
- ABSTRACT A machine for cleaning containers by discharge of high-pressure liquid from at least one set of nozzles, past which the containers are carried by a conveyor. Two links belts run along the conveyor in the region of the nozzles and a plurality of elastic cords are attached to the links and cross each other under tension for pressing the containers against the conveyor in the region of the nozzles.
- the invention is based upon a machine having at least one set of nozzles connected to a source of high-pressure cleansing liquid.
- the gauge pressure of the cleansing liquid can, for example, be up to 60 atm, and the noz-, zles are of a type known per se which discharge the high-pressure cleansing liquid in focused or concentrated streams.
- these nozzles can be provided in groups on holders by means of which they are swivelled back and forth.
- this object is achieved by means of an endless, self-contained contrivance, moving at the same speed as the conveyor, for pressing the containers to be cleaned against the conveyor in the re-' gion of the nozzles.
- this pressing means comprises two link belts running over guide members, disposed at a fixed distance from one another at the front and at the rear of the machine, respectively, and a plurality of elastic cords crossing each other under tension from the links of the one link belt to those of the other link belt, the sections of the two link belts adjacent to the bed of the conveyor in the region of the nozzles being disposed so close to the said bed that the cords are stretched around the containers which pass beneath them at that point.
- the sections of the two link belts adjacent to the bed of the conveyor may preferably be held in guide tracks.
- PEG. 2 shows a cross-section along the line II-ll of Fit].
- FIG. 3 illustrates on a larger scale a detail from FIG. 2 representing a cross-section of the portion of the vpres singmearissituated in the region ofthenozzles and of .theassociated guidejracks and. cleanr 1 4 is a top. plan .view on FIG,;3.
- The, framework of the. illustrated machine for cleaning and disinfecting containers, and possibly other articles to be washed is designated generally by the referencenumerall and consists of, a single structure.
- this framewor. l In the lower part of this framewor. l ,,wi thin a trough 2 serving to drain off cleansing liquid, there is a conveyor 3 consisting' of two parallel chains .4 and a plurality of cross- 'rotation with a driving sprocket 8 by means of a shaft.
- the conveyor 3 is driven by a variable'speed motor 9 via a chain 10 in such a way that, as viewed in FIG. 1, the bed of the conveyor 3 moves from left to right as indicated by the arrow 11.
- the reference numerals l2 designate nozzles which spray soil-removing cleaning liquid from above and below onto the containers lying on the bed of the conveyor 3.
- the reference numerals 13 designate nozzles which spray disinfectant in a similar manner. Between the nozzles 12 and the nozzles 13 is a support 14 forming part of the framework 1 in which four nozzle holders 15 are rotatingly mounted in the arrangement shown in FIG. 2.
- Each such holder 15 carries about three nozzles 16 which are connected through the holders 15 to a high-pressure water source; the gauge pressure of the water supply can amount, for example, to atm, and the nozzles 16 discharge very forceful focused or concentrated streams of water which are, moreover, swivelled back and forth by the reciprocating movement of the holders 15.
- This reciprocating movement takes place by means of a chain drive of which only the chain 17 and guide pulleys 18 are shown.
- a special pressing means is provided, designated generally by the reference numeral 19.
- This pressing means is endless and self-contained and runs at the same speed as the conveyor 3. As may be seen particularly from FIGS. 3 and 4, it comprises two roller links belts 21 disposed at a fixed distance from one another at the front and at the rear of the machine, respectively. The belts 21 run over guide pulleys 20, and each of their facing links is provided with a projecting eyelet 22.
- the pressing means 19 further comprises a plurality of elastic cords 23 crossing each other under tension from these links, or more precisely, from the eyelets 22 of the one of these two belts 21 to those of the other.
- the sections of the two roller link belts 21 adjacent to the bed of the conveyor 3 are disposed so close to this bed, in tracks 24, that the cords 23 are stretched around the containers which pass beneath them at that point, in the manner indicated in FIG. 2.
- the pressing means 19 could be set in motion in this way. It is preferable, however, to provide a drive connection between the pressing means 19 and the conveyor 3, as shown in the illustrated example of an embodiment, in the form of two chain transmission mechanisms, one with the chain 10 and another with a chain 25.
- the upper sections of the two roller link belts 21 are also held in tracks 26 which are similar to the tracks 24 and are secured in the uppermost part of the machine framework.
- a machine for cleaning articles to be washed, particularly containers having a conveyor running within a framework to carry the containers to be cleaned past at least one set of nozzles connected to a source of high-pressure liquid, wherein an endless, self-contained means running at the same speed as the conveyor is provided for pressing the said containers against the conveyor in the region of the said nozzles, said means for pressing comprises two link belts running over guide members, disposed at a fixed distance from one another at the front and at the rear of the machine, respectively, and a plurality of elastic cords crossing each other under tension from the links of the one link belt to those of the other link belt,-the sections of the two link belts adjacent to the bed of the conveyor in the regions of the said nozzles being disposed so close to the said bed that the cords are stretched around the containers which pass beneath them at that point.
