Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, an adhesive roller device to which the present invention is applied will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes an adhesive roller device in which an adhesive roller 5 is rotated by a driving means 3 such as a motor. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the adhesive roller device 1 is configured to pass an object to be processed 7 such as a sheet-like body between a pair or a plurality of pairs of adhesive rollers 5 so that dust, dust, and the like on the surface of the object to be processed 7 6 may be attached to the adhesive roller 5 to remove it. However, as shown in FIG. It may be configured such that dirt such as dust and dust on the surface of the processing target 7 is adhered to the adhesive roller 5 and removed by passing between the non-adhesive roller 9 and the non-adhesive roller 9.

In the adhesive roller device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, two pairs of adhesive rollers 5, that is, one pair of an upper adhesive roller 5a and a lower adhesive roller 5a 'and an upper adhesive roller 5b And another pair of the lower adhesive roller 5b 'and the lower adhesive roller 5b'. In this case, the rotation of the driving means 3 is controlled by the adhesive roller 5 as described below.
a, 5a ', 5b, 5b'. That is, the pulley 11 is attached to the driving means 3, and the adhesive roller 5a,
A pulley 13 is provided near 5a ', 5b, 5b', and a belt 15 is wound around these pulleys 11, 13. A first gear 19 is fixed to the shaft 17 of the pulley 13 near the adhesive roller. A second gear 23 is fixed to the shaft 21 of the lower adhesive roller 5a '.
A third gear 27 is fixed to the shaft 25 of b '. First gear 1
9 meshes with the second gear 23 and the third gear 27. A fourth gear 31 is provided on the shaft 29 of the upper adhesive roller 5a.
The fifth gear 35 is fixed to the shaft 21 of the lower adhesive roller 5a ', and these gears 31 and 35 are meshed with each other. Similarly, the shaft 33 of the upper adhesive roller 5b
And the seventh gear (not shown) fixed to the shaft 25 of the lower adhesive roller 5b 'meshes with each other. In this case, the rotation of the driving means 3 is transmitted to the first gear 19 fixed to the shaft 17 of the pulley 13 through the pulley 11, the belt 15, and the pulley 13, and the rotation of the first gear 19 is the second gear. Gear 23
Through the third gear 27 to the lower adhesive roller 5a 'and the lower adhesive roller 5b'. The rotation of the lower adhesive roller 5a 'is transmitted to the upper adhesive roller 5a via the fifth gear 35 and the fourth gear 31. The rotation of the lower adhesive roller 5b 'is transmitted to the upper adhesive roller 5b via the seventh gear and the sixth gear. In this way, the rotation of the driving means 3 is controlled by the adhesive rollers 5a, 5a ',
5b, 5b '.

Next, an automatic cleaning device for the adhesive roller in the adhesive roller device 1 as described above will be described. Reference numeral 41 denotes a cleaning unit. The cleaning unit 41 is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the adhesive roller 5. That is, as an example, vertical guideways 45, 45 are disposed below the adhesive roller 5 in the frame 43 of the adhesive roller device 1, and rollers 47, 47,. Roller 47, 47
Is fitted to the guideways 45, 45,
The cleaning unit 41 disposed below the adhesive roller 5 is movable vertically with respect to the adhesive roller 5, and the cleaning unit 41 is connected to the frame 43 of the adhesive roller device 1.
Is moved up and down by a driving means 49 such as a cylinder attached to the device.

The cleaning unit 41 has a support frame 51 with the adhesive roller 5 side opened. The support frame 51 includes a wiping tool 53 for wiping the surface of the adhesive roller 5, a cleaning liquid supply means 57 for applying a cleaning liquid 55 to the adhesive roller 5, and an air supply means 59 for blowing air to the adhesive roller 5. The wiping tool 53 may be formed of felt, nonwoven fabric, paper, rubber, or the like, in addition to the brush. It is desirable that the wiping tool 53 has a length corresponding to the length of the adhesive roller 5, but the wiping tool 53 may be a rod-shaped body that is rotated by a driving unit, or the wiping tool 53 may be formed of an adhesive. The roller 5 may be movable in the length direction. The air supply means 59 blows hot air of about 50 ° C. onto the adhesive roller 5 as an example. Reference numeral 61 denotes an air intake, and air is sent from the air intake 61 to the air supply means 59 through the air passage 63.

In the above case, the position of the adhesive roller 5 is fixed, and the cleaning unit 41 is disposed so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the adhesive roller 5, but the position of the cleaning unit 41 is fixed and the adhesive roller 5 is fixed. 5 may be movable forward and backward with respect to the cleaning unit 41. In this case, for example, the cleaning unit 41 is fixed below the adhesive roller 5, and the adhesive roller 5 is fixed to the frame 43 of the adhesive roller device 1.
