Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of packaging liquids, in particular food liquids, in glass bottles, or others, and more particularly the prior rinsing and sterilization of such bottles and relates to an automatic rinsing and sterilization machine. bottles.
- the new bottles are packaged in the factory on wooden pallets over a height of about five sheets which are separated from each other by a layer of cardboard, the whole being kept under a cover of heat-shrinkable synthetic material.
- droplets form which later dehydrate inside the bottle, leaving traces.
- new bottles are rinsed with running water, possibly with the addition of a sterilizing product.
- rinsing can be carried out manually or by means of automatic or semi-automatic devices.
- the first method consists in placing the bottles on a transport chain emerging through a distribution star in a carousel provided with grippers for gripping bottles by their necks. The bottles are then turned over to receive, for example, an injection of water or air.
- the carousel cycle being continuous, each bottle is brought back to its upright position on the chain after draining.
- the second method consists in simultaneously pushing several bottles out of the transport chain and threading them into a row of buckets which are mounted in a vertical wheel, the axis of which is therefore horizontal, the necks being directed in the direction of said axis.
- the cups are arranged all around the wheel which plunges by its lower half, in a tank filled with a sterilizing solution, generally based on SO2.
- the bottles are emptied and receive, at a predetermined place in their course, an injection of running water.
- Hourly production capacity can only be obtained by the number of pliers gripping the bou and therefore, by enlarging the diameter of the carousel, which very quickly poses a problem of almost insoluble bulk as well as a problem of manufacturing cost.
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- Its purpose is in fact an automatic machine for rinsing and sterilizing bottles, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by cups for receiving bottles arranged in satellites in a wheel whose axis is horizontal, by a device for introducing the bottles into the buckets supplied by a chain for conveying the bottles, by a device for receiving the washed bottles evacuating the latter by means of an outlet chain and, optionally, by a protective casing surrounding the wheel with its satellites on the part of the route extending after the device for introducing the bottles to the device for receiving the washed bottles.
- the automatic bottle rinsing and sterilization machine is essentially constituted by cups 1 for receiving bottles 2 arranged in satellites 10 in a wheel 3 whose axis 4 is horizontal, by a device 5 for introducing the bottles into the buckets 1 fed by a chain 6 for conveying the bottles 2, which are removed, after washing, on a chain outlet 7 by means of a receiving device 8 and, optionally, by a protective casing 9 surrounding the wheel 3 with its buckets 1 mounted in satellites 10 on the part of the path of the bottles 2 which extends after the device d introduction 5 to the receiving device 8.
- the buckets 1 are advantageously arranged in rows on satellites 10 articulated at their ends, by means of discs 11, on the wheel 3, which is constituted by star arms or by disc-shaped flanges (dotted in the figure 1), the articulation being carried out in such a way that the buckets 1 provided with the bottles 2 have their center of gravity between the axis of articulation on the wheel 3 and the satellites 10, so that the bottles engaged in the satellites 10 by their neck naturally orient themselves vertically, the neck down ( Figures 1 and 2).
- the cups 1 are each advantageously in the form of a hollow cylinder provided at its end facing the satellite 10 with a narrowing of the section for housing the neck of the bottles 2 (FIG. 1 ).
- Each bucket mounting satellite 10 1 is provided with an injector rail (not shown), which is connected, in a manner known per se, to a central distribution manifold (not shown).
- an automatic control device (not re presented) it is possible to inject, successively, during the progression by rotation of the cups 1 on the satellites 10 with the bottles 2 inside the casing 9, two fluids, namely a washing and disinfection fluid and a rinse aid, water.
- each satellite 10 can advantageously be provided with a chute (not shown) for receiving the washing and rinsing fluids opening at one end into corresponding bores of a disc 11 for articulation of the satellites 10, a static gutter 26, connected to the casing 9, surrounding the lower part of the path of the discs 11 provided with these holes for recovering said washing and rinsing fluids.
- a fluid circulation circuit arrangement is not shown in detail in the drawings, but is of a perfectly known embodiment in mechanical engineering.
- the provision of a static gutter 26 for receiving the washing and rinsing fluids makes it possible to avoid carrying out this recovery in the bottom of the casing 9 and, possibly, to treat the two fluids separately with a view to their reuse.
- such recovery also makes it possible to avoid splashes of fluids inside or outside the casing 9 and to separate the "wet compartment" from the "dry compartment” so that the rinsed bottles remain dry. outside.
- the device 8 for receiving washed bottles consists of a pivoting rack 20, the pivot axis 21 of which extends parallel and level with the outlet chain 7, and which is actuated by means of a jack or the like (not shown) acting on said axis 21, a stop rail 22, also extending parallel to the chain 7 and the rack 20, being provided along the chain 7 above the latter.
- each satellite 10 is provided, on one of its axes of articulations on the wheel 3, with a rubberized wheel or a pinion 23 intended to cooperate with a cam or a rack 24 , integral with the protective casing 9, extending over a circular sector concentric with the axis of the wheel 3, on the part of the path of the bottles 2 encompassing the unloading and loading of the latter and permitting the pivoting of the satellites 10 from their vertical position, the neck of the bottles being turned down towards said unloading position, as well as the return of said satellites 10 in an automatic pivoting position of the bottles, the neck turned down (FIG. 1).
- the axis of articulation of at least one disc 11 of each satellite 10 is advantageously provided with a lever provided at its end free of a roller or guide shoe cooperating, between the positions of unloading and loading of the bottles, with a curvilinear guide rail integral with the corresponding wall of the casing 9.
- a correct position of the satellites 10 with the buckets 1 is perfectly ensured for the unloading and loading of the bottles 2, a random rotation of the satellites 10, possible in the case of the use of a rubberized wheel 23 cooperating with a cam 24, being prevented.
- the wheel 3 is advantageously driven by means of a stepping motor or by a ratchet or Maltese cross device.
- a stepping motor or by a ratchet or Maltese cross device.
- the wheel 3 is provided, at each satellite 10, with an enveloping fairing 25 fixed between the flanges forming the wheel 3 and having a shape of a trough in an arc of a circle extending concentrically around the axis of articulation of the satellite 10 from a radial axis coming from the horizontal axis 4 of the wheel 3 and passing through the articulation axis of the satellites 10 substantially up to the intersection of the generator of the bottles 2 resting in the rack 13 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the cross member 16 pushes the bottles 2 located on the rack 13 into the said buckets 1, the lower generatrices of the bottles 1 then passing very close to the edge of the enveloping fairing 25 .
- the satellite 10 whose buckets 1 were previously loaded, rotates around its axis, under the effect of friction or meshing of its wheel or its pinion 23 on the cam or the rack 24, in order to gradually bring the bottles 2 into a vertical position, the neck turned downwards.
- the enveloping fairing 25 forms a rear stop for the bottom of the bottles 2 preventing them from falling out of the buckets 1.
- the bottles 2 can drip into the chutes provided in the satellites 10, then the latter are gradually tilted towards the unloading position, during the continued rotation of the wheel 3, by a new cooperation between the wheel or the pinion 23 and the cam or the rack 24 (FIG. 1).
- the bottles 2 On arrival of the satellite 10 with the buckets 1 and the bottles 2 in the unloading position, the bottles 2 automatically slide out of the buckets 1 on the rack 20 of the evacuation device 8, a pivoting of said rack 20 upwards bringing the bottles 2 on the outlet chain 7, the stop rail 22 ensuring their maintenance on said outlet chain 7 during said pivoting.
- the buckets 1 of the satellite 10 are then ready to receive new bottles to be washed during the next rotation step.
