Device for decontaminating a hollow object defining an internal cavity, and associated dispensing machine and method

A device for decontaminating a hollow object defining an internal cavity, including:

• a decontamination unit, the decontamination unit including a holder intended to receive and position the hollow object, a decontamination member intended to be introduced into the internal cavity, and a mechanism for the relative displacement of the decontamination member relative to the holder able to displace the decontamination member and the holder relatively the one in relation to the other between a rest position intended for positioning the hollow object in the holder and a decontamination position, in which the decontamination member is intended to be inserted into the internal cavity of the hollow object received in the holder
• a control unit able to activate the decontamination member in the decontamination position,
• wherein:
• a protective enclosure defines an inner space containing at least a portion of the decontamination member and the holder at least in the decontamination position, the enclosure defining an access passage to the inner space and at least one wall for obturating the access passage the closure wall and the access passage being movable, the one relative to the other, between an open configuration of the access passage which the closure wall is able to occupy in the rest position of the decontamination member and a closed configuration of the access passage which the closure wall occupies in the decontamination position of the decontamination member.
