Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) This invention is a rope washing machine that sequentially washes and shrinks the cloth to be washed, such as woven fabrics and knitwear, in a loop.

(Prior Art) An example of such a rope carpet washing machine is the one shown in FIG. 4 disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10141/1983. This rope washing machine has a pair of upper and lower carpet washing rolls 3, 3' having shafts 2, 2 in a vertical plane above the bath of a washing liquid tank 1, and a lower carpet washing roll 3' is driven by a conventional means. The driving side roll (not shown) and the washing carpet roll 3 are raised and lowered manually or by a conventional mechanism such as a cylinder (not shown) to adjust the gap between the rolls 3 and 3'. Shafts 4, 4' are provided in the horizontal plane above the cleaning liquid tank 1 at appropriate intervals on the sides of the washing carpet rolls 3, 3' (on the delivery side of the cloth to be cleaned T),
A pair of left and right grooved rolls 6 and 6' of the same diameter are arranged in parallel, each having a plurality of axial grooves 5 and 5' carved at a constant pitch on the entire outer periphery, and the left grooved roll 6 is a driving side roll, The right grooved roll 6' is moved left and right manually or by a cylinder (not shown), etc., and both rolls 6,
It is used as an adjustment side roll to adjust the gap 6'.

Above the cleaning liquid tank 1, on the outside of the upper and lower washing carpet rolls (on the feeding side of the cloth to be cleaned T), there is an outer guide roll 7, and below that, in the lower part of the cleaning liquid tank 1, there is an inner guide roll 8. Axes 9, 10 parallel to axis 2
Both rolls 7 and 8 are rotatably provided.
A guide plate 11 is provided in the middle portion of the guide plate 11 to guide the rope-shaped cloth T to be cleaned and prevent it from shifting laterally.

Furthermore, an upper guide roll 12 is rotatably supported at a suitable position above the left grooved roll 6 by a shaft 13 parallel to the shaft 4.

In such a conventional rope carpet washing machine, a ring-shaped rope washing cloth T with both ends connected is connected between both washing rolls 3 and 3' and between both grooved rolls 6 and 6, as shown in the figure.
Insert between 6'. Then, the distance between the rolls is adjusted by moving the adjusting rolls 3, 6', and the cloth T to be cleaned is continuously circulated through the cleaning liquid W at high speed by the driving rolls 3', 6 to wash the cloth. The left and right grooved rolls 6, 6' have a shrinking action that removes washing wrinkles in the longitudinal direction generated on the cloth T to be cleaned when passing through the washing rolls 3, 3' and converts them into fine horizontal wrinkles.

Although a pair of carpet washing rolls 3, 3' is sufficient from the viewpoint of the carpet washing action, such a conventional rope washing machine simply uses a pair of rope washing rolls 3, 3' having an adjusting and driving mechanism for the shrinking action. Since the grooved rolls are provided, the structure is complicated and expensive, and the cloth T to be cleaned is easily damaged. Furthermore, during carpet washing, the cloth T to be cleaned moving upward from the guide roll 10 in the cleaning tank may sway irregularly or sometimes become lumpy, so that it gets stuck to the guide plate 11 and excessive tension is applied. There was also the problem that the cloth T to be cleaned could be damaged or broken.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the object of this invention is to provide a rope carpet washing machine that has a simple structure, performs a carpet shrinking action, and does not damage the cloth to be washed.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a cleaning liquid tank 1 is similar to that of the prior art, but the entire upper part is covered with a cover 1a, and a steam heating type liquid tank internal temperature control device 14 is provided in a part of the ceiling. There is. One side of the cover 1a is a work door 1b that can be opened and closed. In the space above the cleaning liquid tank 1, there are a pair of upper and lower carpet cleaning rolls 15,
15' is provided. The washing carpet roll 15 has a main roller 17 rotatably supported on a horizontal shaft 16, and a shaft 18 parallel to the main roller 17 at an appropriate distance.
It consists of a small-diameter sub-roller 19 which is rotatably supported by a roller, and a belt 20 stretched between the main roller 17 and the sub-roller 19.
Overall, the position in the vertical direction relative to the underwash carpet roll 15', which will be described below, can be adjusted. The pre-washing carpet roll 15' similarly includes a main roller 17' supported by a shaft 16' running horizontally vertically below the shaft 16, and an auxiliary roller 1 supported by a shaft 18' parallel to the shaft 16'.
9' and a belt 20' stretched around the main and auxiliary rollers 17' and 19'. The pre-wash carpet roll 15' is a drive-side roll in which either the main roller 17' or the sub-roller 19' is driven by a conventional drive mechanism (not shown). Projections having a rectangular cross section are provided on the outer surfaces of the belts 20, 20' at constant pitches over the entire width thereof. In the cleaning cloth T delivery direction (right side) of the upper and lower washing carpet rolls 15, 15', a carpet shrinking plate 21 is fixed to the washing liquid tank 1 and is inclined downwardly inside the washing liquid tank 1. This fulling board 21
is a rectangular plate having a width approximately the same as that of the upper and lower carpet washing rolls 15, 15'.

Further, there is a shaft 22 provided in parallel on the substantially extension line of the upper and lower washing carpet rolls 15, 15' in the direction in which the cloth to be washed T is fed (to the left), and a guide roll 23 is rotatably fixed thereto. There is. Furthermore, a guide plate 24 is provided below the guide roll 23, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The guide plate 24 includes guide pieces 21 made of wire that are arranged in parallel at regular intervals (the width is set to be larger than the width when the cloth T to be cleaned is made into a rope shape).
The bracket 25 has a comb-like structure, and is pivotally supported at both ends by a bracket 25 so as to be rotatable in a direction along a vertical plane, and is normally held in a horizontal position by a support plate 25a provided at the bottom of the bracket 25. The detergent nozzle 26 is a pipe-shaped member provided on the feeding side of the washing rolls 15, 15' in the space above the cleaning liquid tank 1, and has fine holes machined at regular intervals on its lower surface, and one end is connected to the outside of the cleaning liquid tank 1. and is connected to the detergent solution container.

27 is a detergent water W supply tray.

In the low carpet washing machine configured as above,
Washing water W is supplied from the supply tray 27, and detergent is spouted onto the cloth T to be cleaned from the detergent nozzle 26 at appropriate times. The cloth T to be cleaned is made of woven fabric or knitted material, and is rolled into a rope shape and connected at both ends to form a loop. This cloth T to be cleaned is inserted through the work door 1b between the upper and lower washing rolls 15, 15' as shown in the figure, the part on the feeding side is placed on the guide roll 23, and the part below it is placed on the guide plate 23.
It passes between the four guiding pieces 24a.

Next, the position of the top washing carpet roll 15 on the adjustment side is lowered, and the cloth T to be washed is sandwiched between it and the bottom washing carpet roll 15' with appropriate pressure. After this preparation, when the drive-side prewash carpet roll 15' is rotated at high speed, the belt 2
0' sends out the cloth T to be cleaned to the right, and at the same time, the belt 20 also moves and the top washing carpet roll 15 also rotates. The cloth T to be cleaned is therefore pulled up from the lower part of the cleaning liquid tank 1 while being guided by the guide plate 24 and sent to the washing rolls 15, 15' via the guide roll 23. Here, the cloth T to be cleaned is subjected to a compression action and dirt is removed together with the detergent solution and the cloth T is washed. Furthermore, the cloth T to be cleaned is firmly held and guided by the protrusions on the surfaces of both belts 20, 20', and is sent out at high speed, colliding forcefully with the shrinking plate 21. At this time, the cloth T to be cleaned is subjected to a compression action in its length direction, so that the cleaning action removes the washing wrinkles in the longitudinal direction generated when passing through the washing rolls 15, 15' and changes them into fine horizontal wrinkles. You will receive the following.

The cloth T to be cleaned then falls to the bottom of the cleaning liquid tank 1 below, and thereafter undergoes the above-described operation repeatedly. During this operation, even if a lumpy part occurs on the cloth T to be cleaned due to lateral displacement or tangles, the guide plate 24 rotates upward and the lumpy part is removed from the guide plate 24.
Washing rolls 15, 15' without getting caught in 4a.
sent to. Therefore, breakage and damage to the cloth T to be cleaned, which conventionally occur in such cases, can be prevented.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, this invention consists of upper and lower carpet washing rolls each consisting of a main roller, a sub-roller, and a belt stretched over these, and furthermore, a carpet washing roll is provided with a shrinking plate in the delivery direction of the washing roll. Further, by providing a rotatable guide plate in the feeding direction of the washing carpet roll, washing and shrinking can be carried out at the same time, and there is an effect that the cloth to be washed is not damaged and can be manufactured at low cost.
