Definitions

the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claims 1-3 and to a device according to the preamble of claim 4.
a device designed in the manner of a rinser in which the bottle grippers are provided on a machine part or rotor rotating around a vertical axis and the bottles gripped by the bottle grippers, initially turned with their bottoms downward, are turned outwards by radial pivoting are so that the bottles are after turning with the bottle mouth over a nozzle opening forming a nozzle tube for the treatment medium.
This nozzle tube is inserted at least when the treatment with a gaseous or vaporous treatment medium takes place through the bottle mouth from below into the interior of the flipped bottle.
the bottle mouth of the respective bottle is exposed to a jet of a vaporous or gaseous medium, namely from a nozzle opening which is provided opposite the bottle mouth is.
the jet emerging from the nozzle opening can be adjusted so that it does not, if at all only very slightly, enter the respective bottle, but at the bottle mouth produces a flow running radially outwards and at least partially also axially along the outer surface of the bottle.
the medium used in the aftertreatment is a sterilization medium, e.g. B. steam, so an optimal sterilization of the bottle is achieved in the area of the bottle mouth.
the medium used in the aftertreatment can also serve to remove residues or drops of a liquid treatment medium (e.g. water) that have reached the bottle mouth or to prevent such drops or residues from getting into the bottle.
a liquid treatment medium e.g. water
This aftertreatment which is carried out with the sterilization medium (e.g. steam) or with sterile air, is carried out before the bottle is turned back and / or when it is returned to its original starting position and thus prevents residues of a treatment medium and with this when it is turned back Germs get into the interior of the bottle.
the media are guided to the individual nozzles via rotary valves, as is known from DE A1 3504 999.
the media inflow paths are defined so that different inflow quantities occur depending on the speed of the rotary machine.
the invention is based on the object of being able to precisely define the inflow amounts and to be able to adapt them to different needs, the ratio of amounts to one another also being able to be changed in the case of different treatment media.
This object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned at the outset in that the duration of treatment for cleaning and / or sterilizing during the circulation of the bottles can be changed as a function of the selected cleaning program.
the duration of treatment for rinsing and / or sterilizing can be set individually.
a suitable device is characterized in that the changing opening cross section of at least one channel can be changed by adjusting a slide-through part.
the spray or sterilization quantities can be set exactly to the specified needs and bottles or bottle sizes.
1 is the rotor rotating around a vertical machine axis in the direction of arrow A of a device designed as a rinser for treating bottles 2, which are fed to the device via a conveyor 3 and an inlet star 4 and which after treatment via an ejecting star and a conveyor 6 are discharged, on which the bottles 2 in turn upright, d. H. are led away with their bottom below.
Each incoming bottle 2 is gripped and turned by a bottle gripper 7 provided on the rotor 1, so that the bottle bottom 21 finally points upwards and the bottle mouth 2 ′′ points downwards.
This turning which takes place in a first angular range I following the inlet star 4, takes place in such a way that the respective bottle 2 is pivoted radially outward with its bottle bottom 2 '.
the bottle 2 is treated in a further, subsequent angular range II.
a subsequent angular range III of the rotary movement of the rotor 1 the respective bottle 2 is turned back into its original position and placed on the rotor 1.
Curve 8 shown with a broken line, shows the vertical projection of the lower region of bottles 2 with rotating rotor 1.
each bottle gripper 7 is assigned a vertical nozzle tube 9 forming a treatment position.
the nozzle tubes 9 are offset on the rotor 1 at equal angular intervals about its axis of rotation or are provided on an element (not shown) of the bottle gripper 7, so that each nozzle tube 9 is located below a bottle 2 that is gripped and turned by the associated bottle gripper 7, and in fact axially or approximately axially with the axis of the inverted bottle 2, as shown in FIG. 2.
Each nozzle tube 9 has a nozzle channel 10 with an upper outlet or nozzle opening 11 and is displaceable in a bearing and distributor element 12 for a predetermined stroke in the vertical direction, specifically by an actuating element 13, which in the embodiment shown is formed by a pneumatic cylinder is.
Each nozzle tube 9 is connected to a line 15 for warm water via the distributor element 12 and an individually controllable valve 14. Furthermore, each nozzle tube 9 is connected via the distributor element 12 and an individually controllable valve 18 to a line 17 for supplying steam.
valve 2 shows at the lower end of the nozzle tube 9 a control valve 18 with which the respective nozzle tube 9 or the channel 10 there can be emptied.
the valves 14, 16 and 18 are, for example, electrically or pneumatically operated valves.
FIG. 3 The actual design of the rotary valve 19 can be seen from FIG. 3.
This consists of a stationary bearing part 20 with a central shaft 21 arranged thereon, which receives the upper part 22 of the rotary valve 19.
This upper part has a multiplicity of bores 23 in which connecting hoses 24 to the individual nozzles 9 are received.
the liquid-distributing disks 25, 26, 27 Between the upper part and the lower bearing part 20 are the liquid-distributing disks 25, 26, 27.
the ring gears 25, 27 each have a toothing 30 on which a pinion 31 of an actuating device acts.
a certain distance is provided for each channel 28, 29, which supplies the respective bores 23 with a certain amount of liquid. If, depending on the performance of the machine or the bottles to be treated, different amounts of media are to be discharged to the nozzles 9, a corresponding change in the media channel length is caused by motorized adjustment of a ring gear 25 or both ring gears 25, 27. For the media, you can adjust between a maximum and minimum channel length.
the channels 28, 29 are equipped with openings, not shown, from which the medium from the bearing part 20 to the distributor disks or the channels 28, 29 and 32 arranged therein can be assigned.
each media channel can be set separately from one another.
the servomotor is also adjustable as a function of the speed of the rinser, so that the optimum amounts are passed to the nozzles 9 and thus to the bottles. This results in an optimal use of the media to be fed in relation to the desired cleaning and sterilizing effect.
