Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning machine for cleaning containers, in particular reusable bottles, and to a method for removing a foreign body from a container cell of a cleaning machine arranged on a rotating transport device.
  • Cleaning machines for containers and in particular for bottles are known in a variety of designs from the prior art and are typically used to clean reusable bottles before refilling.
  • the bottles to be cleaned are each inserted into a bottle cell and transported within the bottle cell with the bottle opening pointing downwards to a cleaning device which cleans the bottle using a cleaning liquid.
  • the transport takes place by means of a rotating transport device, on which numerous bottle cells arranged next to one another form a row of baskets and numerous rows of baskets are arranged one behind the other.
  • the cleaned bottle is removed from the bottle cell, the empty bottle cell is transported back to the starting position and a new bottle to be cleaned is then inserted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a cleaning machine for cleaning containers, in particular reusable bottles, as well as a method for removing a foreign body from a container cell of a cleaning machine arranged on a rotating transport device for cleaning containers, which has a particularly long, uninterrupted operation of the cleaning machine with a constant cleaning capacity over the operating time and with low operating effort.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by a cleaning machine for cleaning containers according to claim 1 and by a method for removing a foreign body from a container cell of a cleaning machine arranged on a rotating transport device according to claim 7.
  • Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the cleaning machine according to the invention for cleaning containers, in particular reusable bottles has a plurality of container cells arranged on a rotating transport device, each for receiving a container to be cleaned, a cleaning device for cleaning the containers arranged in a container cell and a shaking device arranged on the transport device for removing Foreign bodies from a container cell.
  • a container cell containing a foreign body is first fed to a shaking device by means of the transport device and then a shaking process is carried out for removing the foreign body from the container cell, in particular by targeted shaking and/or by means of a shaking device.
  • the inventors have recognized that foreign bodies are usually held in place by a clamp within a container cell, so that in order to remove the foreign body it is usually only necessary to overcome the clamping force and/or the friction between the foreign body and the container cell at least once, which causes the foreign body to move released from the container cell. Continued shaking then improves the result by preventing renewed jamming and speeding up the removal of the foreign body. In principle, however, in the vast majority of cases a single shaking or a single force is sufficient.
  • a cleaning machine in the sense of the invention is a device by means of which several containers can be cleaned at the same time and/or immediately one after the other, with the containers preferably being transported continuously between being picked up and delivered through a cleaning zone.
  • At least one cleaning device preferably a container washing system and particularly preferably a bottle washing system, is arranged in the cleaning zone.
  • Cleaning is particularly preferably carried out by introducing a cleaning solution, in particular water with cleaning agents, into an opening in the container. It is also preferred that the container has its opening oriented downwards, at least at the time of cleaning, so that the cleaning solution and any impurities contained in the container can automatically flow out of the container again.
  • the cleaning machine is particularly preferably designed to be used in the field of industrial filling, in particular of reusable bottles.
  • the cleaning machine is also preferably an industrial single-end cleaner.

  • the transport device can be designed in any way to enable circulating transport of the container cells.
  • the container cells are preferably arranged close to one another.
  • the container cells are basically designed to accommodate a single container in a defined position and to hold it in this position, so that the container can be cleaned in a targeted manner in the container cell.

  • the foreign body is preferably removed by targeted shaking in combination with an orientation of an opening in the container cell downwards.
  • the shaking can be carried out by means of any number of force effects occurring one after the other or by means of just a single force effect, i.e. by targeted deflection.
