It is provided below each container 4 adjacent to the cleaning agent injection nozzle 22 . In this embodiment, water is supplied to the washing water injection nozzle 24 from a water pipe as appropriate, but a tank and a pump may be provided in the same manner as the cleaning agent injection nozzle 22.
26 is a nozzle moving motor. Reference numeral 27 denotes a threaded shaft, which is horizontally mounted in the parallel direction of the containers between the inner cases 3, with the tip of the threaded shaft 27 protruding from the inner case 3 on the pressure pump 21 side, and threaded through the chain wheel 28 and chain 29. Said motor 2
6 and is rotatably provided. Reference numeral 30 denotes a nozzle holding part having an internal thread, which is attached to the upper part of the piping of each of the injection nozzles 22 and 24, and the threaded shaft 27 is attached to the internal thread of this holding part 30.
are screwed together and the shaft passes through. Reference numeral 31 denotes a guide rail for moving the holding part 30, which is provided parallel to the screw shaft 27, and when the screw shaft 27 rotates,
The holding part 30 is prevented from rotating in synchronization with the screw shaft 27. The holding part 30 and the injection nozzles 22 and 24 attached thereto are arranged such that when the screw shaft 27 is rotated by the operation of the nozzle moving motor 26, the holding part 30 moves along the guide rail 31 in the container parallel direction. While moving, each injection nozzle 2
2 and 24 are configured to run below each container 4.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a lid plate that comes into contact with the periphery of the mouth 5 of each container 4. Reference numeral 33 denotes a support portion for the lid plate 32, and the lid plate 32 is connected to the support portion 33 so as to be openable and closable for each urine storage container 4 by a hinge 34. Further, the support portion 33 is fixed to a support shaft 35 rotatably spanned on both side walls of the inner case 3, and is connected to the support body rotation mechanism from the support shaft 35 via a parallel movement mechanism 36. The cover plate 32 is engaged with the chain wheel 17 of the cover plate 32, and is configured to rotate upward together with the cover plate 32.

In this embodiment, the parallel motion mechanism 30 is the fifth parallel motion mechanism 30.
As shown in the figure, a long link 36a and two short links 36b, 36b are provided in the vertical direction.
The long link 36a is connected to the chain wheel 17 on the lower side via a locking pin 36c, and the two short links 36b are connected to the chain wheel 17 on the lower side through a locking pin 36c. 36a by pins 36d, 36d, and the links 36b, 36b and the support shaft 35 are connected to rotate together, and as the chain wheel 17 rotates, the elongated link 36a moves up and down. the short link 36
By rotating the support shaft 35 connected to b, 36b, the lid plate 32 can be opened and closed up and down together with the support part 33.

Reference numeral 37 is an operation unit for driving. Reference numeral 38 denotes a discharge port for collected urine, which is bored in the lower surface of the inner case 3 of the main body 1. 39 are casters for moving the main body 1. 40
is a horizontal adjuster, which is arranged near the caster 39 and is used to keep the main body 1 horizontal. Further, by providing a sliding door in the opening at the front of the main body 1, the deodorizing effect is enhanced.

When cleaning the urine storage container 4 with the device of the present invention, when the switch of the operating section 37 provided on the front side of the main body 1 is turned on, the rotation motor 19 is driven to rotate, and the chain 18 and the chain wheel 17 are driven to rotate. The holder 7 connected through the shafts 16 on both sides
Rotates backwards on the mouth 5 side of the container 4 using as a fulcrum,
At the same time, the support shaft 35 rotates via the parallel movement mechanism 36 engaged with the chain wheel 17, and the support portion 33 and the cover plate 32 rotate upward accordingly. The rotation speed of the support shaft 35 is faster than the shaft 16 of the holder 7, and the cover plate 32 is rotated faster than the shaft 16 of the holder 7.
Rotate so that it does not interfere with the rotation of the Then, as the holding body 7 rotates and the opening 5 of the container 4 held by the holding body 7 is directed downward, the urine inside the container 4 is drained, and the urine inside the container 4 is discharged.
The rotation stops when the opening 5 reaches a position facing each injection nozzle 22, 24. In synchronization with this stopping action, the pressure pump 21 provided in the cleaning agent tank 20 is activated, and the cleaning agent spray nozzle 22 corresponding to each parallel container 4 held by the holder 7 is cleaned by the pumping force. The agent is injected into each container 4, and the nozzle moving motor 26
is rotationally driven, the screw shaft 27 is rotated via the chain 29 and the chain wheel 28, and the nozzle holding part 30 is moved in the container parallel direction along the guide rail 31. Cleaning agent injection nozzle 22 of each injection nozzle 22, 24
It continues traveling while injecting the cleaning agent into the inside of each container 4, and stops traveling and spraying the cleaning agent when it reaches the endmost container 4. Immediately after this, the nozzle moving motor 26 is driven in reverse, causing the pair of injection nozzles 22 and 24 to travel in the opposite direction to the above-mentioned running direction, and at the same time, washing water is injected from the washing water injection nozzle 24 to clean the inside of each container 4. While cleaning, the cleaning water is run in the opposite direction, and when each of the injection nozzles 22 and 24 reaches the position before movement, the movement of each injection nozzle 22 and 24 and the injection of washing water are stopped. When the inside of each container 4 is completed in this way, the rotation motor 19 is again driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the above-mentioned rotation direction, and the holder 7 and the lid plate 32 return to their original states and stop. .

In the above container cleaning process, in this embodiment, each injection nozzle starts traveling, makes one round trip between the parallel containers, and returns to its original position.
The inside of each container has been cleaned, but in addition to the above, cleaning agent is sprayed from the cleaning agent injection nozzle during one or several reciprocations of each injection nozzle, and then water is washed during one or several reciprocations after that. It is also possible to complete the cleaning in each container by spraying washing water from the injection nozzle, or by stopping the running of each injection nozzle for each container and spraying the cleaning agent and washing water. You may wash each container separately.

As mentioned above, in this invention, each injection nozzle is movable in the parallel direction of the urine storage containers, so there is no need to provide each injection nozzle for each container, and it is simple, lightweight, and easy to manufacture. By moving each injection nozzle, the urine storage container can be automatically and efficiently cleaned. Furthermore, since the holder holding the containers in parallel is automatically rotatable, the urine in the containers can be easily drained without requiring any manual effort, making it clean and convenient.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a urine storage container cleaning device that is most suitable for storing urine and cleaning containers in hospitals, sanatoriums, research institutes, etc.
