Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning the inner wall of a wine barrel.
  • a device for cleaning the inner wall of a wine barrel In connection with wine production and storage, it is necessary to clean the inside of the wine barrels.
  • the inner wall of wine residues that have stuck in the cracks and crevices of the barrel wall must be removed.
  • Wine sludge residues that have thickly deposited in the bottom of the barrel must also be removed from the wine barrel. This more or less mushy sludge is whirled up with water and sucked off.
  • Even on an inner wall of the wine barrel tartar must be loosened during cleaning and removed from the barrel.
  • the cleaning is preferably done only with water, without the addition of solvents. However, this presupposes that a sufficiently strong water jet is directed against the entire inner wall of the wine barrel.
  • This device has several arms, each of which carries spray nozzles.
  • the arms can be swiveled up and down or turned sideways. In addition, all arms can rotate together around a vertical axis.
  • the nozzle heads are controlled and the arms are moved using a special control. Such control can be implemented, for example, by pneumatic piston-cylinder units.
  • the control device is arranged outside the boiler to be cleaned.
  • a device for cleaning containers by means of a pressure jet is known.
  • the nozzle of this device has a plurality of water outlet channels which are aligned eccentrically to their longitudinal axis.
  • the longitudinal axes of these outlet channels do not intersect the longitudinal axis of the nozzle. This causes the nozzles to rotate about their common longitudinal axis when water escapes.
  • a further device for cleaning a vessel in which, in contrast to the above device, the nozzle head can be additionally rotated about a vertical axis, for example, by arranging an additional nozzle.
  • the nozzle head thus rotates on the one hand about its longitudinal axis and on the other hand it rotates about a further axis which is oriented transversely to its axis of rotation.
  • the rotational movement is brought about by a first group of outlet openings on the nozzle head, while the rotational movement is realized by a further, additionally provided outlet opening.
  • the water emerging from this further outlet opening provided for rotating the nozzle head has no practically usable cleaning effect.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved device for cleaning the inner wall of a wine barrel, which can be operated and used in a technically simple and economical manner.
  • This invention is given by the features of claim 1. Proceeding from the device known in the prior art for cleaning the inner wall of a wine barrel, this device is accordingly distinguished according to the invention in that the angular momentum of the rotating nozzle and additionally rotating around a different axis is dependent of the rotation position of its outlet channel is of such a size that, based on a rotation angle of 360 degrees, the nozzle has a torque which is effective around the axis of rotation and whose total value is greater than zero.
  • the invention makes use of the knowledge that it is known to bring a nozzle into rotation by means of an eccentrically arranged nozzle outlet opening. However, such a nozzle cannot additionally be rotated in rotation about an axis of rotation oriented transversely to this axis of rotation.
  • the invention does not create the additional rotational movement through an additional outlet opening, as is known for example from EP-A1 0 320 399, but changes the angular momentum of the rotating nozzle during its rotation. As a result, a residual torque can be realized at a rotation angle of 360 degrees greater than zero. This residual torque can then be used to additionally rotate the nozzle about an additional axis of rotation.
  • variable angular momentum can be achieved by changing the amount of water leaving the nozzle.
  • the amount of water leaving the rotating nozzle can be larger than in the second rotation angle range, which is complementary to 360 degrees. This leaves an impulse force greater than zero in relation to 360 degrees, which can then be used for the additional rotary movement.
  • nozzle head for example, two or more nozzles distributed around the circumference can be combined to form a nozzle head.
  • the nozzle head is set in rotation by the fact that the several nozzles which are eccentric to the axis of rotation set the head in rotation when water escapes.
  • the inflow to the nozzles occurs evenly through the annular space connecting the nozzles.
  • the annular space is fed via an inflow opening, which is connected in line with the inflow line.
  • the impulse force from this nozzle is greater than from the other nozzles, which are not positioned exactly above the access opening in this rotational position.
  • the nozzle head Since the access opening is fixed in terms of rotation in a certain orientation, the nozzle head always receives an additional impulse during its rotation.
  • This additional pulse which is present over a predetermined rotation angle range, has the effect that the summed partial pulse forces resulting from a rotation of 360 degrees have a value greater than zero.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the feed line which opens into the nozzle head concentrically surrounds a suction line which is open in its end region. This makes it possible to simultaneously suck the water emerging from the nozzle head out of the wine barrel. In addition, this arrangement saves space in cross section.
  • the entire device can be provided in the area of an inlet and an outlet hose. It has proven to be sensible to design at least the areas of the suction line and the feed line which are in the area of the rotating and rotating nozzle head to be rigid. The entire device can thus be inserted into the wine barrel in a simple manner through the bunghole of a wine barrel as a generally rigid, cross-sectionally space-saving rod-like structure, placed there in a stand-like manner and removed again after the cleaning has ended.
  • a cleaning device 10 can be inserted through a bung hole 12 present in a wine barrel 14 (FIG. 3). In a manner shown in more detail, the inside of the wine barrel 14 can then be cleaned with the help of this cleaning device 10 by means of water emerging from the cleaning device 10.
  • the cleaning device 10 has an outer tube 16.
  • the tube 16 is closed at its upper end 18. Via a pipe section 20 connected in the region of this end 18, water can be conducted into the interior of the pipe 16 via a hose connection connected to the pipe section 20.
  • a further tube 22 is inserted in the tube 16.
  • This tube 22 leads out of the end 18 to the outside.
  • This inner tube 22 is open at its lower end 24 (Fig. 3).
  • foot-like stands 26 are fastened to the inner tube 22.
  • the inner tube 22 can be placed on the bottom 28 of the wine barrel 14 so that the lower, open end 24 of the tube 22 is positioned at a distance from the bottom 28.
  • the outer pipe 16 is surrounded by a bearing sleeve 44.
  • This bearing sleeve 44 is fixedly attached to the tube 16 via two grub screws 46.
  • the tube 16 has an abutment 48.
  • the tube 16 continues in a tube section 50.
  • the tube section 50 moves up to a sleeve 30 which surrounds the lower end of the inner tube 22.
  • This sleeve 30 is held immovably on the tube 22 by means of staggered grub screws 32.
  • the sleeve 30 has an annular shoulder 34, on which the tube section 50 sits bluntly with its lower end 36.
  • the sleeve 30 projects with an annular projection 38 into the space 40 between the pipe section 50 and the inner pipe 22.
  • the pipe section 50 can thus be rotated about the common longitudinal axis 52 of the two pipes 16, 22. During this rotation, the tube 16 remains untwisted with its tube piece 20. During the rotation, the pipe section 50 slides in the region of the upper joint 48 on the lower end face of the pipe 16 and with its lower end 36 on the shoulder 34 of the sleeve 30. This rotation is caused by water 56 emerging from a spray head 54, which on the pipe section 50 is cantilevered, causes.
  • the spray head 54 has a pipe section 60, the longitudinal axis 62 of which is oriented transversely, that is to say in the present case at an angle of 90 degrees, to the longitudinal axis 52 of the pipes 16, 50, 18.
  • the pipe section 60 is screwed with its one end 64 into the wall of the pipe section 50 in such a way that its interior 66 is in line connection with the intermediate space 40.
  • the other end of this pipe section 60 is closed by an end wall 68.
  • an opening 70 which is the only one in the present example. This opening 70 creates a line connection between the interior 66 and an annular space 72 surrounding the pipe section 60.
  • This annular space 72 is laterally framed by a rotor 80, which in the present example has two nozzles 76, 78.
  • This rotor 80 is laterally framed on the one hand by the pressure pipe 50 and on the other hand by an annular shoulder 82 which projects radially from the end wall 68.
  • the rotor 80 is on the one hand on the outside of the pipe section 60 and on the other hand on the laterally delimiting surfaces of the pipe section 50 or the shoulder 82 slidably held.
  • the rotor 80 has a plurality of nozzles 76, 78 screwed into it in the present example.
  • the outlet channels 84, 86 formed in the nozzles open into the annular space 72.
  • the longitudinal axis 88 of each nozzle 76, 78 is at a distance r (FIG. 2) from the longitudinal axis 62 of the pipe section 60.
  • the spray head 54 can be set in rotation about the axis 62 by water 56 emerging. The water 56 emerging from the nozzles 76, 78 can thus clean the inner wall of the wine barrel 14.
  • the nozzles 76, 78 are supplied by the water that has entered the annular space 82. In the present example, this applies to both nozzles 76, 78. The following also applies to the nozzle 76.
  • the nozzle 76 with its outlet channel 84 is positioned above the opening 70 which is present in the pipe section 60. As a result, the water flowing in from the interior 66 can exit directly through the nozzle 76. In the position shown in the drawing, more water will thus emerge from the nozzle 76 than will simultaneously emerge from the other nozzle 78.
  • the amount of water emerging from the nozzle 76 causes an impulse force 90 that is greater than the impulse force 92 assigned to the nozzle 78 at the same time.
  • the spray head 54 is caused to rotate 93 about the axis 62 by the two impulse forces 90, 92.
  • the impulse force 90 which in the present example case increases and decreases Size in the area of an angle window 94 acts, in algebraic addition with the other impulse force 92, a residual impulse force which results from the algebraic addition of the two impulse forces 90, 92.
  • This residual impulse force is only greater than ZERO within this window 94 and is present within a predetermined direction, which causes a torque acting about the longitudinal axis 52.
  • the spray head 54 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 52 on the basis of this residual impulse force (impulse force 90 minus impulse force 92). This rotation is only effective because the two impulse forces 90, 92 are not the same size.
  • a plurality of openings can also be distributed around the circumference of the pipe section 60. It is only necessary to ensure that, depending on the number of nozzles 76, 78 present, more water escapes in a first rotation area than in the other rotation area, which is supplemented by 360 degrees. This can be achieved by different distribution of the openings and / or by different sized openings. It would also be technically possible to design the water flow into the nozzles differently depending on their rotational position. This could be made possible by external control or by self-control of the spray head 54. In this way, the spray head 54 could act on corresponding control elements during its rotation. It would also be possible to provide a residual impulse force by means of frictional forces acting on the spray head 54 to different extents.
  • the speed of rotation of the spray head 54 about the longitudinal axis 52 depends on the size of the residual impulse force. So could for example, the speed of rotation can be influenced by a slide which more or less closes the opening 70.
  • the size of the rotational speed can additionally be influenced by the size of the eccentricity r. Both the rotational speed and the rotational speed do not have to be chosen very large for the present purpose. Not the speed but the exit speed and thus the force with which the exiting water hits the inner wall of the wine barrel 14 is mainly decisive for the cleaning purpose.
  • the present device has the advantage that it can be built very small in terms of the space required.
  • the device can thus be easily inserted and exported through the bung holes 12 present in wine barrels 14.
  • the water emerging from the spray head 54 can simultaneously be sucked out of the wine barrel 14 again from the suction pipe 22. During suction, the detached dirt particles are then also conveyed out of the wine barrel 14 through the suction pipe 22. If necessary, the water led out of the wine barrel 14 can be passed through a filter arrangement and then used again for cleaning.
  • the suction pipe 22 could then be positioned next to the pipe 16. It would also be possible to first loosen the dirt and then, after removing the cleaning device 10, to insert a suction pipe 22 into the wine barrel 14 and to suck the sprayed water out of the wine barrel 14 together with the detached dirt.
  • water mixed with solvent or another liquid or cleaning liquid could also be used in the same way.
