As shown in FIG. 6, the foot switch 50 is provided on the lower portion of the kitchen counter so as to project forward, and can be operated by a worker's foot.

The operation of the kitchen cleaning device 1 will be described below. When the operator depresses the foot switch 50 with his / her foot, the motor 23 of the cleaning device 2 is activated, and the disc 2
0 is rotated at a constant speed in a predetermined direction. And disk 2
After a slight delay from the rotation of 0, the electromagnetic valve 43 of the water supply device 4 opens, and the flush water W mixed by the mixing faucet 41 so that the hot water and the water become warm water of a predetermined temperature flows through the constant flow valve 42. A predetermined flow rate is supplied to the water supply nozzle 24 side of the cleaning device 2.

The cleaning water W supplied from the water supply nozzle 24 onto the disk 20 of the cleaning device 2 is rotated by the rotating disk 20.
It adheres to the disc 20 in a state of being thinly sliced by and tries to rotate together with the disc 20. Also, the disc 20
Centrifugal force is generated in the radial direction of the disc 20 in the wash water W to which the rotational force has been given by. Therefore, the cleaning water W supplied onto the disc 20 is accelerated while advancing in an arc shape on the disc 20 as shown by the chain line in FIG. It is jetted to the outside of the plate 20 in a thin and substantially planar shape. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the high-speed cleaning water W1 is sprayed toward the lower side of the cleaning tank 63 after passing through the guide chamber S of the cleaning device 2 and the water discharge port 63c of the cleaning tank 63. To be done.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, if the object to be cleaned Q is placed in the vicinity of the spout 63c of the cleaning tank 63, the high-speed cleaning water W1 is struck against the object to be cleaned Q, and the object to be cleaned Q is cleaned. Is cleaned in a short time.
Then, the garbage and the like generated from the object to be cleaned Q is washed in the cleaning tank 63.
In addition to being collected in the dust receiver 64 at the bottom of the cleaning drain, the cleaning drainage is discharged to the outside through the drain hole 63b. It should be noted that according to an experiment concerning the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2, for example, 600
For a disc 20 with a diameter of 150 mm rotating at 0 rpm, 45
By supplying the washing water W at ℃ at a rate of 4 liters per minute, it is confirmed that the washing device 2 can clean the platter with stews, margarine, etc. in a short time including oil. Has been.

On the other hand, by the operation of the motor 23 of the cleaning device 2, simultaneously with the disc 20 of the cleaning device 2, the rotor 30 of the blower device 3 is rotated at a constant speed in a predetermined direction. And
As the rotor 30 rotates, the pressure disk 3 of the rotor 30
The air around 0b is the suction hole 30c of the pressure disk 30b.
Since the pressure is applied from the side toward the outer peripheral portion, the air sucked from the suction port 31a of the casing 31 is discharged from the rotor 30.
And is discharged to the discharge duct 32 side. Then, this air passes through the discharge duct 32 and the air blowing nozzle 33, and from the air blowing port 63d of the cleaning tank 63 to the upper side of the high speed cleaning water W1 in the cleaning tank 63, and the curtain parallel to the high speed cleaning water W1. The air is discharged as air K.

In this case, since the blower nozzle 33 is gradually expanded in the front and rear direction toward the elongated blower opening 63d, the curtain-shaped air K discharged from the blower opening 63d includes the cleaning tank 63 in a vertically thin state. Spreads well in the kitchen sink 60. Therefore, the splashed water droplets P that are about to be scattered out of the kitchen sink 60, that is, the splashed water droplets P upward from the high-speed cleaning water W1 and the high-speed cleaning water W1 hit the surface of the object to be cleaned Q or the kitchen sink 60. After splashing, the splashed water droplets P that bounce upward are returned to the kitchen sink 60 together with the curtain-shaped air K, and the kitchen sink 60
It will not be scattered outside. That is, the worker can comfortably wash the article to be cleaned Q without splashing the splashed water droplets P from the high-speed washing water W1 on the face or the like and without polluting the surroundings of the kitchen counter with the splashed water droplets P. It will be possible.

When the cleaning of the object to be cleaned Q is completed,
The operator removes his / her foot from the foot switch 50, and the cleaning device 2
The operation of the motor 23 is stopped and the control circuit 5
The solenoid valve 43 of the water supply device 4 is closed via 1. As a result, the water supply to the cleaning device 2 side is stopped, the rotation of the disk 20 of the cleaning device 2 and the rotation of the rotor 30 of the blower device 3 are stopped, and the operation of the kitchen cleaning device 1 is stopped. To be done.

Next, a detailed description will be given of how water droplets are scattered outside the kitchen sink 60 when the kitchen cleaning device 1 is used. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the object to be cleaned Q (for example, a dish having a diameter of 200 mm) is tilted by 70 degrees counterclockwise from the horizontal position in the cleaning tank 63 where the high-speed cleaning water W1 is sprayed. The cleaning tank 63 is fixed in a closed state, and the upper surface side of the cleaning tank 63 is separated by 5 cm and 600
It is covered with a transparent acrylic plate R of × 600 mm, and the state of water droplets scattered to the outside of the kitchen sink 60 can be checked by the state of adhesion of water droplets to the acrylic plate R.

In this case, the disc 20 of the cleaning device 2 has a diameter of 150 mm, and the disc 20 has a center axis N of 60.
A water supply nozzle 24 is arranged at a position separated by mm. Then, the disk 20 is rotated at a speed of 5000 rpm, and 3.5 L from the water supply nozzle 24 to the disk 20.
(Liter) / min of cleaning water W is supplied. Also,
The size of the spout 63c is 30 × 80 mm, and the size of the blower port 63c is 5 × 200 mm. Each of the following experiments was conducted for 10 seconds.

First, the blower 3 is stopped and the high-speed cleaning water W
Only 1 was sprayed on the article to be cleaned Q. In this case, many water droplets adhered to the acrylic plate M. Next, the air blower 3 is operated, and from the air blow port 63d, for example, 0.55 m ³ / min
And 0.8 m ³ / min of air was blown to form curtain-shaped air K in the cleaning tank 63 or the like. In both cases of air volume, a few small water droplets and a few water-smoke-like minute water droplets adhered to the acrylic plate M to the extent that practically no problem occurred. Continuously, the air volume of the blower device 3 is 1.5 m ³
When the pressure was increased to / min, only a few water vapor-like minute water droplets adhered to the acrylic plate M. Further, the above-mentioned 0.
When the air volume is 8 m ³ / min and the size of the blower opening 63 d is 2.5 × 200 mm and the wind speed is doubled,
Only a few water vapor-like minute water droplets adhered to the acrylic plate M.

Experiments were conducted with the gaps between the water discharge port 63c and the air blow port 63d set to 35 mm, 45 mm, and 60 mm, and it was confirmed that the larger the distance, the less water droplet adhesion.

As described above, in the kitchen cleaning device 1, the cleaning device 2 having a simple structure that does not require pressurizing the cleaning water W with the pump is equivalent to or more than the cleaning device having the pump. Since the cleaning object Q can be quickly and sufficiently cleaned, the device can be downsized and the cost can be reduced.

In addition, in the kitchen cleaning device 1, since the curtain-like air K from the blower device 3 sufficiently prevents the splashed water droplets P of the kitchen sink 60 from scattering outside the kitchen sink 60. The worker can clean the object to be cleaned Q in a comfortable state without polluting the area around the kitchen counter. In this case, the rotor 30 of the blower 3 is rotationally driven by the motor 23 of the cleaning device 2, so that the size and cost of the device can be reduced.

Further, since the kitchen cleaning device 1 is stored in the storage room below the top plate 62 of the kitchen counter, the kitchen cleaning device 1 does not narrow the kitchen, and the worker uses the kitchen widely. be able to. In addition, in the kitchen cleaning device 1, since the cleaning target 63 can be cleaned by using the cleaning tank 63 of the kitchen sink 60, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the device, and the drainage facility. The kitchen sink 60 can be used as it is, and in this respect as well, the device can be downsized and the cost can be reduced.

Instead of the foot switch 50, an infrared sensor or a photoelectric sensor composed of a light projecting portion and a light receiving portion is provided in the cleaning tank 63 of the kitchen sink 60, whereby the cleaning tank 63 has an object to be cleaned. The object Q to be cleaned may be cleaned by detecting that Q has been inserted.

Embodiment 2. 9 and 10 show a kitchen cleaning device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
In this kitchen cleaning device 1, the air blower 3 is connected to the intake duct 3

In this kitchen cleaning device 1, the intake duct 3
Since the air in the cleaning tank 63 is sucked to the blower device 3 side via 4, the minute water droplets P1 scattered in the form of water smoke at the time of cleaning are sucked to the blower device 3 side together with the air. Therefore, in this kitchen cleaning device 1, the cleaning tank 6
It is possible to reduce the amount of water vapor-like minute water droplets P1 generated in 3 that are about to be scattered to the upper side of the kitchen sink 60, and the amount of the scattered water droplets P scattered to the outside of the kitchen sink 60 is reduced accordingly. Can be made. in this case,
The smoke-like minute water droplets P1 sucked into the intake duct 34 together with the air are hit against the air / water separation plate 34b, adhere to the air / water separation plate 34b, and then returned to the cleaning tank 63. Neither a large amount of water drops will adhere to the rotor 30 of the apparatus 3 nor a large amount of water drops will be contained in the curtain-shaped air K.

By the way, when a water droplet scattering test similar to that of the kitchen cleaning device 1 of the first embodiment was conducted by the method shown in FIG. 8, the air volume of the blower device 3 was 0.55 m ³ / min.
And 0.8 m ³ / min, acrylic plate M
Only a few small water droplets adhered to, and the attachment of water vapor-like minute water droplets was hardly observed. The air volume is 1.
In the case of 5 m ³ / min, almost no water droplets were observed on the acrylic plate M. Furthermore, the air volume is 0.8 m ^3.
The size of the blower opening 63d is 2.5 x 200 mm at / min.
In such a case, only a small amount of water droplets (a small amount as compared with the case of the first embodiment) is attached to the acrylic plate M, and almost no attachment of water vapor-like minute water droplets is observed.

Embodiment 3. 11 to 13 show a kitchen cleaning device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Note that the kitchen cleaning device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 12 is used.
The same parts as those of the kitchen counter or the parts corresponding to these parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In this kitchen cleaning device 1, the cleaning device 2 and the blower device 3 are separately driven by the motor 2 serving as a drive source.
3, 35 are attached to the cleaning device 2 and the blower device 3.
And are arranged side by side in the space below the top plate 62 outside the cleaning tank 63. The lower casing 21 of the cleaning device 2 and the lower portion of the casing 31 of the blower device 3 are
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, legs 25, 36
It is mounted on a horizontal support base 6 via. The support base 6 is mounted on the base plate 67 on the kitchen counter side via the vibration isolating rubber 7, and the vibration isolating rubber 7 prevents transmission of vibration to the kitchen counter side. The support base 6 and the anti-vibration rubber 7 constitute a part of the kitchen cleaning device 1.

In this case, the lower and upper casings 21 and 22 of the cleaning device 2 face downward on the kitchen sink 60 side by an angle that is slightly horizontal (angle smaller than 30 degrees) as compared with the case of the cleaning device 2 of the first embodiment. Incline and wash tank 63
It is attached to the outer surface. Further, in the blower 3, the casing 31 is positioned in a horizontal state, and the impeller-type rotor 30 is arranged inside. A motor 35 that rotationally drives the rotor 30 is attached to the upper surface side of the casing 31.

Now, in this kitchen cleaning device 1, FIG.
As shown in (a) of FIG. 5, an arcuate chamfered portion 20a is formed at the outer peripheral corner of the disc 20 of the cleaning device 2 on the upper surface side to which the cleaning water W is supplied. As shown in FIG. 14B, the cleaning water W thinly attached to the rotating disc 20 is provided by the disc 20 when the outer peripheral corners of the disc 20 do not have chamfered portions 20a. It is considered that the droplet size of the high-speed cleaning water W1 formed at this time tends to be relatively large because it is suddenly discharged to the outside of the disc 20 by the centrifugal force.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14C,
When the chamfered portion 20 a is formed at the outer peripheral corner of the disc 20, the cleaning water W on the disc 20 is chamfered 2 of the disc 20.
It is gradually discharged to the outside of the disc 20 along 0a.
Therefore, it is considered that the droplet size of the high-speed cleaning water W1 formed at this time tends to be relatively small. Also, in the measurement experiment of the droplet size of the high-speed cleaning water W1, it was confirmed that the droplet size is about 1/2 when the disc 20 has the chamfered portion 20a as compared with the case where the disc 20 does not have the chamfered portion 20a. ing. The radius of the chamfered portion 20a may be about several mm.

Next, the operation of the kitchen cleaning device 1 will be described. When the operator depresses the foot switch 50 with his / her foot, the motor 35 of the blower device 3 is activated to operate the rotor 30.
Is rotated, and the air in the cleaning tank 63 is sucked into the casing 31 through the intake duct 34. Then, the air passes through the rotor 30, the discharge duct 32, and the blow nozzle 33, and is discharged as a thin and wide curtain-shaped air K from the blow port 63d into the cleaning tank 63. In this case, the curtain-shaped air K is jetted so as to substantially close the inside of the cleaning tank 63 in a state in which the curtain-shaped air K is inclined downward by approximately 30 degrees from the horizontal.

Further, the motor 23 of the cleaning device 2 is actuated to rotate the disk 20 slightly after the motor 35 of the blower device 3, and the solenoid valve 43 is slightly delayed from this.
Opens, and a predetermined flow rate of cleaning water W is placed on the disc 20 of the cleaning device 2.
Is supplied. Then, the cleaning water W on the disk 20 is given a rotational force and a centrifugal force by the disk 20, and as the high-speed cleaning water W1 having a predetermined speed, the cleaning tank 63 below the curtain-shaped air K from the water discharge port 63c. Is injected into.
Since the high-speed cleaning water W1 is sprayed in a state in which it is inclined slightly downward from the surface of the disc 20, the high-speed cleaning water W1 sprayed into the cleaning tank 63 is the same as in the cleaning device 2 of the first embodiment. Similarly, the jet is made at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal.

Therefore, by hitting the high-speed cleaning water W1 against the object to be cleaned Q, the object to be cleaned Q is cleaned in a short time. Further, the splashed water droplets P generated during cleaning are prevented from being scattered out of the kitchen sink 60 by the curtain-shaped air K from the blower 3.

In particular, in this kitchen cleaning device 1, since the chamfered portion 20a is formed on the disk 20 of the cleaning device 2, the droplet size of the high-speed cleaning water W1 becomes small. Therefore, the size of the splashed water droplets P generated at the time of cleaning is also reduced, and the curtain-shaped air K sufficiently suppresses the splashing to the outside of the kitchen sink 60, and also the smoke-like shape sucked into the intake duct 34 of the blower 3. The amount of minute water droplets P1 also increases. Therefore, in the kitchen cleaning device 1, the amount of the splashed water droplets P outside the kitchen sink 60 can be further reduced as compared with the kitchen cleaning device 1 of the second embodiment. It should be noted that the above-mentioned situation is clearly proved also in the result of actually investigating the scattering state of water droplets outside the kitchen sink 60 in the kitchen cleaning device 1.

When the worker Q removes his / her foot from the foot switch 50 after the cleaning of the object to be cleaned Q is completed, the electromagnetic valve 43 of the water supply device 4 is closed and the motor 23 of the cleaning device 2 and the motor 35 of the blower device 3 are closed. Will stop and the device will stop.

By the way, in order to increase the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2, the size of the liquid droplets in the high-speed cleaning water W1 is increased, the speed of the liquid droplets is increased, and the liquid droplets are removed from the disc 20. Just concentrate on the direction. Therefore, by forming the chamfered portion 20a on the disc 20 and reducing the droplet size of the high-speed cleaning water W1, it is conceivable that the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2 will be somewhat reduced.

For this reason, a cleaning power test by the cleaning device 2 was performed using the disc 20 having the chamfered portion 20a and the disc 20 having no chamfered portion 20a. As a result, the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2 using the disc 20 without the chamfered portion 20a is slightly larger than the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2 using the disc 20 with the chamfered portion 20a. It was found that the cleaning power of the cleaning device 2 was also sufficiently large, and that the latter cleaning device 2 had no problem in actual use.

As described above, in the kitchen cleaning device 1, in terms of preventing water droplets from splashing out of the kitchen sink 60, superior effects to the kitchen cleaning device 1 of the first and second embodiments can be obtained.

Therefore, the manufacturing of the device can be facilitated. Become.

In the kitchen cleaning device 1,
Even when the air inlet 63e of the blower 3 is not provided in the cleaning tank 63, the chamfered portion 20a of the disk 20 of the cleaning device 2 brings the effect of moving the gas out of the kitchen sink 60 more than in the case of the kitchen cleaning device 1 of the first embodiment. Water droplets can be prevented from scattering.
