Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning containers with a helical transport device whose axis preferably runs horizontally and on which the containers supplied via a feeder are transported by at least one cleaning chamber to an unloading station, wherein the transport means guide elements for guiding the containers along a helical transport path and at least one feed device for advancing the containers on the transport path, and wherein in the cleaning chamber with at least one source of a cleaning medium connectable spray nozzles are arranged.
  • the container entrainment consist of four parallel to each other and transverse to the helical guide elements extending rods which are attached via a fork to a centrally mounted within the spiral guide drive shaft.
  • the nozzles can only be arranged on co-rotating with the container entrainment tubes, which in turn leads to constructional problems with regard to the connection of the supply lines for the spray nozzles.
  • the invention therefore aims to improve a device for cleaning containers with preferably extending in the horizontal direction helical transport device to the effect that the design effort for the leadership of the containers along the helical transport path is reduced and that the arrangement of stationary elements and in particular of stationary spray nozzles in the space enclosed by the helical transport device space is made possible.
  • the device of the type mentioned is inventively further developed to the effect that the guide elements comprise at least one radially outer helical guide element with respect to the axis and at least one radially inner helical guide element with respect to the axis, which the containers outside and inside in the radial direction support or guide in the transport route.
  • the radial support of the containers in the helical transport path with the aid of helical guide elements, namely at least one radially outer and at least one radially inner helical guide element a much simpler construction is achieved, and it is especially created the possibility of the feed device much easier to train than this in the subject of DE 3315413 A1 the case is. Due to the construction according to the invention, the guide elements and the feed device can be realized structurally separated, so that it is possible to choose the optimum structural design for the respective function.
  • At least one lateral helical guide element is arranged radially between the at least one outer and the at least one inner helical guide element, which supports the containers on at least one side in the axial direction in the transport path .
  • the at least one lateral helical guide element can preferably be arranged such that one turn of the helical guide element supports or guides the container on one side and the adjoining turn of the helical guide element on the other side. This means that the helical side guide element each successive turns of the helical transport path limited to each other.
  • At least two lateral helical guide elements are provided, which support the containers on both sides, i. on opposite sides, support or lead.
  • the guide elements are formed by helically bent tubes, rods or profiles.
  • at least two guide elements are provided in each case, i. at least two radially outer, at least two radially inner and / or two lateral guide elements, each of which may be formed by tubes, rods or profiles.
  • the at least two guide elements preferably run parallel to each other.
  • the guide elements are preferably designed and arranged such that they define and limit the receiving cross section for the containers to be cleaned in the transport path.
  • the arrangement of the guide elements can take place in a rectangular receiving cross section such that the side edges of the rectangle inclined viewed in axial section run to the spiral axis.
  • the driver since the containers are held according to the invention due to the arrangement of at least one outer and at least one inner helical guide member and with the preferably provided at least one lateral helical guide member on all sides in the transport path, the driver only have the task of the containers along the helical transport path to move forward, for which a simple pushing in the circumferential direction is required, wherein only a relative movement in the axial direction must be allowed at the contact point between the driver and the respective container.
  • the drivers can therefore be easily formed by running transversely to the feed direction of the transport spiral rods, tubes or profiles.
  • the drivers can either be arranged extending in the axial direction of the transport spiral or obliquely to the axial direction. In the case of the oblique arrangement, it may be necessary to form the driving rods or tubes curved.
  • the at least one driver of the two opposite axial Ends of the helical transport path arranged around the axis circumferentially drivable support elements is held.
  • the support elements may preferably be formed by a support ring which is rotatably mounted at a radial distance from the axis.
  • the embodiment is therefore advantageously such that the spray nozzles are arranged on pipes or rods that can be connected to the at least one source of the cleaning medium.
  • the fluid outlet from the spray nozzles is preferably oriented in the direction of the helical transport path.
  • the distance between the circumferentially offset mutually arranged drivers is chosen to be greater than the circumferential extent of the containers.
  • the containers in the helical transport path each jerkily slide downwards after exceeding the highest point, until they abut on the respective next driver in the circumferential direction. Due to this jerky movement, the adhering dirt particles are better solved.
  • a similar effect occurs in each case when crossing the lowest point in the helical transport path, due to the jerky movement, for example, an improved flushing out of accumulating in the containers cleaning water and the dissolved dirt particles is observed.
  • the spray nozzles can not only radially within the transport path may be arranged, but it may be preferred further spray nozzles are arranged radially outside the transport path.
  • at least one nozzle island may preferably be arranged in the cleaning chamber, the nozzles of which have a discharge direction extending essentially in the axial direction of the transport spiral, whereby the lateral surfaces of the containers can also be exposed to cleaning medium in a simple manner.
  • a section of the cleaning chamber can be formed as a drying chamber and can have connectable blow-off or drying nozzles with at least one source of a drying medium.
  • the cleaning chamber can be divided into a plurality of sections in a simple manner, without, for example, causing a significant mixing of cleaning medium used in adjacent sections.
  • This advantage can be achieved even with a slightly inclined to the horizontal orientation.
  • the training in this context is further developed such that the spray nozzles are connectable in a first axial portion of the cleaning chamber with a first source of a cleaning medium and the spray nozzles in a second axial portion of the cleaning chamber with a second source of a cleaning medium.
  • the cleaning medium of the first source and the cleaning medium of the second source have different chemical and / or physical properties from each other, in particular different temperature, different levels of detergent, different fluid pressures or the like.
  • nozzles with different injection angles, Nozzle cross-sections or nozzle geometries are used.
  • the transport helix may be slightly inclined so that the axis of the transport helix is e.g. an angle of 5 ° -45 ° with the horizontal.
  • the device according to the invention is further developed such that the guide elements are designed as lines for the cleaning medium.
  • the spray nozzles can be particularly simple and save space supply with cleaning medium
  • the arrangement of the driver elements on the support rings particularly favors the supply of the inner guide elements with cleaning medium.
