Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaner for baking a baking sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A top plate used for baking food such as bread is usually formed in a plate shape by a square bottom plate and side plates standing upright all around the square bottom plate. The oil and the like are not leaked to the outside of the top plate during firing. Conventionally, as a cleaner for cleaning such a top plate, a cleaner that advances a top plate in sequence and lowers a horizontal axis rotating cylindrical brush to the bottom surface of the top plate at a predetermined timing in the middle has been used. It was

However, this type of cleaner has a problem that the bottom surface of the top plate can be cleaned to some extent cleanly, but the inner surface of the side plate is hardly cleaned. In particular, the occurrence of such a problem is remarkable when the above-mentioned side plate is cleaned on the top plate which is inclined (expands upward) outwardly upward.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaner for a food baking top plate, which can clean the side surface of the top plate which cannot be cleaned by a conventional cleaner.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a top plate having a side plate is moved by a moving means, and a rotatable brush is lowered while the moving plate is being moved or stopped, and the brush is automatically rotated. In a cleaner for a food baking top plate of a type for cleaning the top plate, the brush has a deformable columnar or conical brush formed by bundling a large number of thin rods made of elastic synthetic resin, and this brush is of a vertical axis rotating type, When the brush descends, the outer peripheral surface of the brush comes into contact with the inner surface of the side plate of the top plate in a contact state.

[0006]

The present invention operates as follows. Since the cleaner of the baking sheet for food according to the present invention has a deformable columnar or conical brush in which a large number of elastic synthetic resin thin rods are bundled, the outer peripheral surface of the brush is lowered when the brush descends. The inner surface of the top plate comes into contact with the inner surface of the side plate completely, and as a result, the inner surface of the side plate of the top plate, which could hardly be cleaned by the conventional cleaner, can be cleanly cleaned.
