Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] The present invention easily detects the amount of liquid in a still of a dry cleaning machine. [Structure] In a container 7 of a distiller 3 having a viewing window 13, a scale 14 for detecting the liquid level which is visible through the viewing window 13 is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a distiller for a dry cleaning machine.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, in a dry cleaning machine, as shown in the circuit diagram of FIG. 3, the solvent is supplied from the base tank 1 to the basket 2, and the basket 2 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions so that the solvent and soap are applied to the object to be washed therein. They are mixed and the dirt is removed from the objects to be washed for cleaning.

When the cleaning is completed, the dirty solvent is fed into the still 3 and is boiled by the heating means provided in the still 3, and the evaporated solvent vapor enters the condenser 5 through the stand pipe 4, Is liquefied by. Then, the solvent and water are separated from the water in the water separator 6 in terms of specific gravity, and the solvent is collected in the base tank 1.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the distiller 3, since the solvent is boiled inside, it is necessary to prevent the solvent from being supplied above a predetermined level. For that purpose, the amount of the solvent supplied and the distillation is performed first. It is necessary to read the previous amount of solvent almost accurately so that the total amount of remaining solvent does not exceed a specified level.

Conventionally, as a method for detecting the remaining amount of such a solvent, a method of visually confirming the liquid level in the distiller through a viewing window provided in the container of the distiller, or a float type liquid level gauge in the distiller is used. There is a method of detecting the liquid level by mounting a liquid level gauge such as an electrostatic capacity type level gauge.

However, the visual confirmation involves a problem that requires considerable skill. On the other hand, in the detection using the liquid level gauge, it is expensive and has heat resistance and solvent resistance sufficient to withstand the distillation of the solvent. There is a problem that a high level gauge is required and the cost becomes high.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a distiller which has an extremely simple structure without using a liquid level gauge and can accurately detect the liquid level even by an operator with little experience.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a configuration is adopted in which a container for a distiller is provided with a peephole, and a scale for detecting the liquid level which is visible from the peephole is provided in the container. Of.

[0009]

[Action]

 In the above configuration, the remaining amount of the solvent in the container can be read by visually observing the scale corresponding to the liquid surface through the viewing window.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Since the entire circuit configuration of the dry cleaning machine has been described in the section of the prior art, its explanation is omitted here, and only the characteristic part of the present invention will be explained here.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the distiller 3 includes a container 7 and a heating device 8. The heating device 8 includes a heating plate 9 provided at the bottom of the container 7 and a heating plate thereof. It consists of a steam chamber 10 for heating 9.

On the upper surface of the container 7, a solvent supply port 11 for discharging the solvent discharged from the basket 2 and a steam discharge port 12 for discharging solvent vapor generated by boiling the supplied solvent by the heating device 8 are provided. And are provided. Further, the container 7 is provided with a viewing window 13 through which the inside of the container 7 can be viewed, and a scale 14 for detecting the liquid level is provided on the facing surface which is visible from the viewing window 13.

The scale 14 is made of a steel piece such as stainless steel having corrosion resistance to various components contained in the solvent, and is sized so that it can be seen through the sight window 13 and is arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. There is. In this case, the highest scale is the upper limit liquid level a when liquid is supplied, and the lowest scale is the lower limit liquid level b at which liquid can be supplied.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an opening / closing lid for taking out impurities remaining in the container 7 after distillation.

When supplying the dirty solvent from the basket 2 into the container 7 in the distiller having the above-described structure, first, the scale 14 corresponding to the liquid level is read from the viewing window 13 to remove the solvent being distilled. Check the remaining amount, and if the amount can be supplied, supply the solvent.

Further, during the supply, the upper limit scale is visually observed through the viewing window 13 so that the supply amount does not exceed a predetermined level for performing distillation.

In the case of the embodiment, the scale 14 is provided at a position facing the viewing window 13, but it may be provided on the left and right side surfaces as long as it is visible from the viewing window 13. Further, in order to make the scale 14 easy to see, the scale 14 may be colored and colored.

[0018]

【effect】

 As described above, in the present invention, since the scale for detecting the liquid level that can be visually seen through the sight glass is provided in the container of the distiller having the sight window, the liquid level gauge is not used. By reading the scale, the remaining amount can be known, and even an inexperienced operator can accurately detect the amount of liquid in the container.
