Description

[Detailed description of the invention] {Industrial field of application} This invention relates to a centrifugal dewatering device that dewaters a mop made of appropriate amounts of string-like materials after washing it.

{Prior Art} For example, a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-9558 is known as a motsu squeezer that cleans and dehydrates a motsu made of appropriate amounts of string-like materials. .

This mop wringer has a fixed roller provided on one side of the upper part of a container for washing the mop, and a movable roller attached to a rotating member whose middle portion is pivoted to the container.

To dehydrate the motsu with this wringer, the motsu washed in a container is placed in front of a fixed roller, the movable roller is pressed against the motsu by operating a rotating member, and in this state the motsu is removed from between the pair of rollers. The mop is pulled out and the water from the mop is removed using the pair of rollers.

Centrifugal dewatering devices for laundry are also known.
The dewatering device uses a motor to rotate a swingable dehydration tank at high speed, and uses centrifugal force to remove water contained in laundry placed in the dehydration tank.

{Problem to be solved by the invention} Since the motsu squeezer disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-9558 pulls the motsu in a state where it is squeezed by a pair of rollers, the motsu squeezer made of string-like material can also be squeezed.
The string-like material can be dehydrated in a uniform state, making it suitable for subsequent use.

However, since the mop is only pinched by a pair of rollers, the force for squeezing the mop tends to be insufficient, so there is a problem in that it is difficult to perform sufficient dehydration.

On the other hand, a centrifugal dehydrator can sufficiently remove the water contained in mops and the like.

However, since the material to be dehydrated is simply placed in the dehydration tank, and the material to be dehydrated adheres closely to the inner surface of the dehydration tank due to centrifugal force during dehydration, the material to be dehydrated becomes lumpy when dehydration is completed. Therefore, when a motsu made of string-like materials is dehydrated using the centrifugal dehydrator, each string-like material becomes a lump, so it is difficult to use it as it is after dehydration, and it is difficult to use the strings when washing. If the string-like materials are entangled with each other, they remain as they are, and there are problems such as the need for effort to bring the string-like materials into a substantially aligned state after dehydration is completed.

This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a centrifugal dewatering device that can dehydrate motsupu in a stretched state without forming lumps. do.

{Means for solving the problem} In the centrifugal dewatering device such as Motsupu of this invention, a dewatering shaft is installed upright in the water receiving tank and is rotated by the output shaft of a motor installed outside the bottom of the water receiving tank. A plurality of support walls extending in the axial direction are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft at intervals in the circumferential direction, and each pair of adjacent support walls has a locking edge protruding in opposite directions. is provided, an opening is formed between the opposing locking edges, the end of the mop is inserted between the pair of support walls and locked to the locking edge, and the other part of the mop is inserted through the opening. It is characterized by making it stand out.

{Function} This centrifugal dewatering device involves inserting the end of the mop between a pair of adjacent support walls, and locking the end of the mop with the locking edges that protrude from each tip of the support walls. , and cause the other part of the mop to protrude from the opening. In this state, the dehydration tank is rotated to separate the moisture from the mop, which is supported between the support walls and whose end is locked to the locking edge, by centrifugal force. Therefore, during dehydration due to centrifugal force, the motsupu extends radially around the dehydration axis and water separates, so even if the motsupu is made of string-like materials, each of the string-like materials becomes entangled. Dehydration proceeds in each separated state without any problems.

In addition, even if the string-like materials become slightly entangled with each other due to washing, etc., when each string-like material stretches due to the centrifugal force during dehydration, they will become almost separated. Reduce entanglement.

{Example} An example of a centrifugal dewatering apparatus such as a mop according to this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a main body of the dewatering device, 2 is a water tank provided in the main body 1, and 3 is a plurality of support bars on which the water tank 2 is swingably attached to the main body 1.

Each of the support bars 3 is inserted and locked into a hole in a bracket 4 provided on the main body 1, and is also inserted into a hole in a support plate 5 fixed to the bottom of the water tank 2.
It is attached to the bracket 4 and the support plate 5 via an elastic material 6 such as a vibration absorbing spring.

As shown in Figure 4, this centrifugal dewatering device
A mop A in which an appropriate amount of string-like material is folded in half and a holder B is attached to the folded part is dehydrated.

To attach the mop A to the mop holder 12, the mop holder 12 is separated from the dehydration shaft 9, and as shown by the chain line in FIG.
The holder B is inserted between 4a and 14b, and is locked to the locking edges 14c and 14d to be held by the mounting member 14. Then, insert the dehydration shaft 9 into the mop holder 12 and connect the connecting hole 1 of the bending plate 14.
6, the locking pin 11 of the folding plate 10 is inserted, and the mop holder 12 is rotatably attached to the dewatering shaft 9.

In this state, when the mop holder 12 is rotated via the dewatering shaft 9 by the drive of the motor 7, the mop A, one end of which is attached to the mop holder 12, expands in the radial direction of the water tank 2 due to centrifugal force. The water contained in the motsupu A is separated from it by centrifugal force. The water separated from the mop A is drained to the outside of the water receiving tank 2 through a drain pipe 17.

When the dehydration is completed, the mop holder 12 is separated from the dehydration shaft 9, and the mop A is removed from it.

After dehydration, the string-like material of Motsupu is fully stretched, so it can be used for wiping as is.

If the mop holder 12 is made separable from the dehydration shaft 9 as in this embodiment, the mop holder 1

In this embodiment as well, the mop is attached to the mop holder 12. When the mop holder 12 rotates, the mop holder 12 is rotated by the centrifugal force.
The distal end thereof comes into contact with the inner surface of the support cylinder 27 which is rotating together with the mop holder 12. Therefore, the diameter of the water tank 2 can be reduced, and since the support tube 27 rotates simultaneously with the mop holder 12, it is possible to dehydrate the mop without damaging it.

{Effect of the invention} The centrifugal dewatering device for motsupu of this invention has a pair of supporting walls protruding from a dehydration shaft installed almost vertically in the water receiving tank, and a locking edge provided at the tip of the walls to prevent the end of motsupu from being removed. The water in the motsu is separated by centrifugal force.

Therefore, the motsu can be easily and sufficiently dehydrated, and since the motsu during dehydration becomes radial around the motsu holder due to centrifugal force, even if the motsu is made of a string-like material, Even if there is, each string-like material is stretched into a substantially straight line. Even if the string-like material becomes slightly tangled during cleaning, it will be loosened into pieces when it is stretched by centrifugal force, so before using the motsup for cleaning, There is no need to worry about arranging materials, and cleaning can be done more efficiently.

In addition, since each string-like material is almost broken up by dehydration, it is easy to clean it after use, and the time required for drying after dehydration can be shortened.
