PROFESSIONAL WASHING APPARATUS COMPRISING A SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC LINEAR TRANSFER OF INSTRUMENT-CARRYING TROLLEYS AND SAFETY DEVICE INCLUDED IN SAID SYSTEM

摘要

A professional washing apparatus is equipped with a system for the automatic loading and unloading of instrument-carrying trolleys in a washing chamber with two opposing openings, said system including two independent mechanisms with reciprocating motion along a linear path each of which consists of a cursor mounted on a toothed belt (9) and equipped with a push (21) or pull lever, the apparatus including a safety device that stops the cursor if the instrument-carrying trolley encounters an obstacle in its path. The safety device is arranged between the cursor and the belt (9) and includes a deactivation bracket (4) attached to the belt (9) and movable with respect to the cursor, two springs (5, 6) placed between the bracket (4) and the cursor so as to oppose the relative motion between them and to transmit the movement from the belt (9) to the cursor, screws (11) to adjust the pre-load of the springs (5, 6) and two microswitches (15, 16) configured and operatively connected to detect the relative motion between the bracket (4) and the cursor and consequently stop the belt (9).
