MEMBER OF FITTINGS, DEVICE AND INSTALLATION FOR CONTAINER WASHING Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: container washing device has elongated tube for liquid supply. Tube has longitudinal axis and many members of fittings, each of which is secured on tube for hydraulic coupling with the latter. It also contains atomizer. Spraying atomizers are made fan-shaped. Every member of fittings is manufactured as angular member which has internal part with longitudinal axis secured to tube and external part provided with detachable joint with fan-shaped atomizer when it is turned about axis of the external part. External part of angular members are fitted with conjugated connecting members for turning of fan-shaped atomizers from attachment to detachment positions. Connecting members contain limiting surfaces of external part of angular member and on atomizer interacting with each other in position corresponding to setting of elongated fan-shaped spray cone of fan-shaped atomizer in parallel with longitudinal axis of tube and perpendicularly to internal part axis. Body of every member of fittings in device is made as a single part. Angular members are of rectangular shape. They are staggered relative to delivery tube. Alternating angular members are spaced from delivery tube equidistantly. Container washing installation has liquid passing conveyer for transportation of containers supported by it, container washing devices positioned from upper and lower sides of conveyer so that longitudinal axis of liquid-supply tube of every device is positioned across conveyer. To produce fan-shaped jet of liquid, member of fittings used in container washing device and installation contains internal and external parts with common liquid channel. Internal part has internal connecting end, and external part is provided with connecting member and fan-shaped atomizer containing outlet nozzle designed to form elongated fan-shaped spray cone and connecting member made for interaction with connecting member of external connecting end to ensure detachable joint of fan-shaped atomizer with member of fittings when atomizer is turned about axis of the external part between positioned of attachment and detachment. Internal and external parts of member of fittings are positioned at an angle to each other thus forming angular member. Connecting members contain limiting surfaces interacting with each other in position corresponding to preset orientation of elongated fan-shaped spray cone of atomizer. EFFECT: improved design. 9 cl, 7 dwg
