Definitions

  • the present patent of invention relates to a rotary rinsing machine, provided with means which permit the control and distribution of liquid or aeriform substances for treating bottles, vases or other similar containers.
  • such machines are provided with bottle gripping devices and the bottles are fed to a carrousel course or the like so as to be positioned near jets which deliver the treating substances.
  • Each of the aforesaid jets must be connected with a feeding line which is opened and closed alternately according to the position of the bottles and according to the treating times to which the bottles are subjected.
  • the devices for controlling and actuating such treating phases show some inconveniences which are due, above all, to the difficulty of adjusting and synchronizing the openi ng and closing times for the several ducts of the carrousel machine.
  • the known control devices are usually provided with a distributor which is arranged in the middle of the carrousel machine and comprises a disc showing a slot.
  • the slot is placed along a circular sector of the edge of the disc itself.
  • the opening of the various ducts is, in fact, controlled by the position of the slot in respect of the control devices. It is evident that when it is necessary to vary the time of intervention or the number of jets that act simultaneously, the control disc must be amended and adjusted. However, the adjustment of the disc is accomplished only with empiric and inaccurate operations.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned inconveniences, which are due to the difficulty of controlling the known distributing devices, by carrying out a new system which permits to facilitate and control the opening phases of the valves and above all the width of the operating sectors.
  • the aforesaid system is provided with adjustable members the specific function of which is the determination of the point of start of the opening of the valves which are arranged along the carrousel machine as well as the determination of the closing point for such valves, there being the possibility of varying the width of the various operating phases and keeping all the valves open, for instance when it is necessary to accomplish an automatic sanifying process.
  • the present invention refers to a rinsing machine or the like, and preferably to a rotary rinsing machine which is provided with a series of feeding lines that reach delivery nozzles and a control device which dispenses substances for the treatment of bottles, vases or the like, characterized mainly in that opening and closing valves are arranged along the feeding lines and are connected with a liquid central feeder which is mounted in the middle of the present machine; the valves are connected either with a contrast device such as a feeler or the like which causes the opening of the valves and with a further device, opposite to the former, which causes the closing of the valves; the position of the above-mentioned control devices may be angularly adjusted around a distributing central point; the aforesaid feelers, which are parts of the opening devices, may consist of a pin to be arranged on the end of a piston which is controlled by a photocell or other similar sensor which senses the presence of the object to be treated; after
  • number 1 indicates in general a distribution plant which is mounted on a rinsing, blowing or sterilizing machine, and preferably on a rotary carrousel machine, for treating bottles, vases or any containers in glass, ceramic, plastic material or other material.
  • bottles gripping assemblies are provided with bottle gripping assemblies and with a series of injection nozzles 2. Both the bottle gripping assemblies and the nozzles are already known and in this specific case, they are mounted along a circular carrousel or roundabout machine.
  • Each nozzle 2 is connected with a valve 4 through a pipeline 3.
  • Each valve 4 is provided with a horizontal slider 5 for opening or closing the valve itself.
  • Each valve is also connected with a liquid central feeder 7 through a pipeline 6.
  • the liquid central feeder 7 is mounted in the middle of the machine.
  • a support 9 is fixed to a central shaft 8 of the machine and comprises a first bracket 10 bearing a piston 11 and a second bracket 12 bearing a roll 13. Both the piston 11 and the roll 13 have a vertical axis.
  • the bracket 12 may be substituted with a second piston for the automatic control.
  • Both the brackets 10 and 12 may be adjusted angularly around the axis of the shaft 8 with the support 9 so that both brackets may be positioned in the wished point of control.
  • the lower end of the rod of the piston 11 bears a roll 14.
  • the roll 14 intercepts and thrusts the horizontal slider 5 of the valve 4 towards the inner part according to a movement which causes the opening of the valve so as to permit the delivery of the treating substance from the respective nozzle 2.
  • a photocell 15 provokes the intervention of the piston 11 when the photocell senses the presence of the object to be treated.
  • the photocell When the photocell senses the presence of a bottle, the photocell sends a pulse of consent to the piston 11 which lowers the roll 14 and provokes the opening of the valve.
  • a roll 13 is mounted at a certain angular distance from the opening device of the piston 11 and downwards in respect of the direction of feed of the roundabout.
  • the roll 13 acts on a side of the slider 5, which side is turned towards the inner part of the valve 4.
  • the roll 13 provokes the thrust and the displacement of the slider 5 towards the outer part so that the valve is brought back to the closing position after a work cycle which is determined by the angular distance which separates the roll 14 from the roll 13.
  • the opening action of the piston 11 and the closing action of the roll 13 are continuous till the photocell senses the presence of a bottle during the rotation of the carrousel or roundabout.
  • valves 4 are arranged concentrically in respect of the nozzles 2 and therefore their radius of action is equal in respect of the centre of the roundabout.
  • the roll 14 and the roll 13 meet the sliders 5 of the valves progressively in order to open or close the valves.
  • the angular adjustement of the brackets 10 and 12 permits to change the opening period of the valves and the relative period of intervention.
  • bracket 12 may be replaced by a further piston (not shown) which may exclude the roll 13 in order to keep all the valves in the open position.
