Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a washer which can wash continuously a large amount of small articles by vibrating washing liquid in a washing vessel, moving articles to be washed in the washing liquid by the rotation of a rotational body, dropping the articles onto a net conveyer on arrival at an upper dropping port, and shower-washing and drying the articles while moving. CONSTITUTION: Washing liquid A in a washing vessel 2 is vibrated by the energization of ultrasonic generators 1, 1... Besides, one to several pieces of articles B to be washed such as spoons are put into one chamber 7 of a rotary chamber body 5 from an inlet 6. The rotary chamber body 5 is rotated to move the articles B into washing liquid A. The articles B are washed while passing through the washing liquid A with the rotation of the rotary chamber body 5 and are removed from the washing liquid A. When the lower part of the chamber 7 arrives at a dropping port 8 position in the upper part of the washing liquid A, the articles B are dropped onto a net conveyer 10 and sent to shower and drying apparatus to be washed and dried. Then articles B are discharged to a receiving container.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning small articles such as kitchen utensils such as spawns and hawks and machine parts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of cleaning apparatus, an object to be cleaned is generally put in a net basket or the like, and a cleaning liquid is sprayed or immersed in a cleaning liquid tank for cleaning.

[0003]

However, in this net-cage system, the cleaning operation is interrupted every time the object to be cleaned is put in or taken out every time the cleaning is carried out, and it is not suitable for continuously cleaning a large quantity. There are drawbacks.

[0004]

The present invention has been developed to solve these drawbacks, and is suitable for continuously cleaning a large amount of small items, and has a simple structure and is inexpensive. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device that can be efficiently arranged in a small area.

[0005]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. In the cleaning apparatus of the present application, a cleaning tank 2 having ultrasonic generators 1, 1 ... The cylindrical shaft 4 provided on the side wall 3 of the driving mechanism 1 fitted to the cylindrical shaft 4
The rotating chamber body 5 is rotated by 7, and an inlet 6 is provided in the upper part of the cleaning tank 2 to define a compartment 7 of the rotating chamber body 5, which will be described later.
7 ... in order, the side surface of the side wall 3 of the cylindrical shaft 4 is opened outward, and a drop port 8 is provided above the position in front of the input port 6 in the rotational direction, so that the space inside the cylindrical shaft 4 It is connected to a net conveyor 10 arranged in the section 9 so as to be able to communicate with the lower part of each compartment 7 in the rotary chamber body 5, and the rotary chamber body 5 is provided with a large number of small holes or a mesh-like porous side plate 11 and a porous side plate 11. Partition plate 12
Are formed into compartments 8, 8 ..., The inner circumference of the rotary chamber body 5 is the outer circumference of the cylindrical shaft 4, and the outer circumference of the rotary chamber body 5 is a porous fall prevention made of a material such as a small hole plate or a net. The rotary chamber body 5 rotates while being covered by the plate 13, is fixed to a rotary bar (not shown) which is rotated by a drive mechanism 17, and is connected to the drive mechanism 17 via a joint and a rotary shaft to be rotatable. The net conveyor 10 is covered with an enclosure 20 and has goodwill 22.
The shower 14 and the drying device 15 for hot air are provided for each of the sections.

A plurality of rotating chamber bodies 5 may be provided, and an inlet 6 and a net conveyor 10 corresponding to each rotating chamber body may be provided.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a receiving container arranged below the net conveyor 11 for receiving the washing objects B ', such as spawns and machine parts, which are falling. Reference numeral 18 is a drain plug, 19 is an outlet of the enclosure 20 of the net conveyor 10, and 21 is a tank for washing water of the shower 14.

[0008]

The present invention is embodied as described above. The ultrasonic generators 1, 1 ... Are turned on to vibrate the cleaning liquid A in the cleaning tank 2 and the spout is charged into the charging port 6. One or a plurality of objects B to be cleaned such as a cleaning object B are put into one compartment 7 of the rotary chamber body 5, and the objects B to be cleaned move into the cleaning liquid A as the rotation chamber body 5 rotates, When the lower part comes to the position above the cleaning liquid A and comes to the position of the dropping port 8, the cleaning product B ′ drops onto the net conveyor 10, is washed and dried by the shower 14 and the drying device 15, and is transferred to the receiving container 16. The sequence is repeated below.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention provides a cleaning tank equipped with an ultrasonic wave generator, a cylindrical shaft provided on a side wall of the cleaning tank, a rotary chamber body fitted to the cylindrical shaft and rotating, and a cleaning tank. An inlet is provided at the upper part of the chamber to face a plurality of compartments of the rotating chamber body, which will be described later, in order, and the cylindrical shaft is opened outward on the side wall side and at the upper part of the position in front of the inlet in the rotating direction. It has a drop port and communicates with the net conveyor arranged in the cylindrical shaft so that it can communicate with the lower part of each compartment in the rotating chamber body, and the rotating chamber body has a large number of compartments with porous side plates and partition plates. Since the inner circumference of the rotary chamber body is covered with the outer circumference of the cylindrical shaft and the outer circumference of the rotary chamber body is covered with a porous fall prevention plate made of a material such as a small hole plate or a net, the rotation chamber body is rotatable, so it is narrow. It can be installed even in an area, and the loading, cleaning, and unloading of objects to be cleaned can be performed as a continuous flow operation. It is suitable can be a cleaning of the large number of small parts. Further, even when the cleaning liquid is heated, the entire rotation chamber body is covered with the cleaning tank so that heat loss is small, and in addition, the structure is simple and can be provided at low cost.
