Description

  The present invention is a deposit removing device that can be suitably used to remove advertisements or posters attached to the wall of a building, or to remove labels or invoices attached to the top or side of a transport box, and The present invention relates to a method for removing deposits.

  As a scraping device for scraping off deposits such as chewing gum attached to the floor surface, while reciprocating the blade having a blade portion at the tip portion in the front-rear direction, the blade tip is inserted between the deposit and the floor surface, There has been proposed one configured to be able to remove the deposit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, in the case of leasing tools used in civil engineering and construction work, a leasing tool is put in a metal transport box at a leasing store, and a invoice is attached to the side or top surface of the transport box, and the tool is sent to the customer. However, because of the repeated use of the transport box, the invoice previously attached is peeled off and a new invoice is attached each time.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-52847

  By the way, peeling of the invoice attached to the transport box is done manually using a spatula or the like, but when the transport box is made of an iron-based metal material, the attached invoice is not easily peeled off. In addition to consuming a lot of work time, there is a problem that a part of the invoice remains attached to the transport box and the transport box becomes dirty. Therefore, in order to make the invoice removal operation electric, the present inventor manufactured a removal device for moving the blade in the front-rear direction, as in the invention described in Patent Document 1, and attached it to the transport box using this device. A test was conducted to mechanically peel the invoice. However, the removal work of paper deposits such as invoices, unlike the removal work of chewing gum, can not be removed efficiently just by moving the blade in the front-rear direction. Only work efficiency equivalent to manual removal using a spatula was obtained.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a deposit removing device and a deposit removing method capable of efficiently removing deposits affixed to a transport box or a wall, such as advertisements, posters, address labels, and invoices. is there.

  As a result of further diligent study on an efficient method of removing the invoice, the present inventor has focused on the fact that a normal knife such as a kitchen knife can easily and sharply cut an object by drawing instead of pushing. The present invention has been completed with the idea that by giving the blade edge movement a component in the left-right direction, the blade edge can be pulled between the attachment and the attachment surface, and the invoice can be removed much more efficiently. It was.

  The deposit removal device according to the present invention is a portable deposit removal device that peels and removes deposits from the deposit surface, and has a cutting edge that can be inserted between the deposit and the deposit surface, And a driving means for driving the blade so that at least a component in the left-right direction is included in the movement direction of the blade edge of the blade.

  In this removal device, the blade tip is inserted between the deposit and the adhesion surface while the blade is driven by the driving means so that at least the component in the left-right direction is included in the movement direction of the blade edge, and the adhesion portion is peeled off from the adhesion surface. Will be removed. In other words, the pulling operation of the blade when the blade edge is moved in the left-right direction can tear the boundary portion between the deposit and the attachment surface and remove the deposit, so the blade can be simply moved forward and backward. As compared with the case where the deposit is peeled off by pushing, the deposit can be efficiently peeled and removed.

  Here, it is preferable that the cutting tool is driven by a driving means so that the cutting edge moves elliptically. In other words, the movement of the blade edge only needs to include at least a component in the left-right direction, but a circular motion or an elliptical motion is smoother than a linear motion with only a motion component in the left-right direction. It is preferable because the cutting edge can be moved to the position. Further, such a motion can be obtained by easily converting the rotational motion of the motor into a circular motion or an elliptic motion of the blade by using a cam mechanism or the like.

  It is also preferable to use a flat blade that can be elastically deformed as the blade, and to provide a pressing plate that is pressed against the upper surface of the base of the blade, and to deform the blade into a curved shape that is lowered toward the blade edge by the pressing plate. It is. With this configuration, even if the cutting edge side of the blade is pressed against the attachment surface, the blade will not be warped, so the blade edge is inserted between the attachment and the attachment surface while pressing the blade edge side of the blade against the attachment surface. Therefore, the deposits can be removed effectively and cleanly.

  It is also possible to provide a cover member with an open bottom surface that can be packaged on the blade. By providing such a cover member, it is possible to prevent scattering of chips and dusts generated when removing the deposits. Further, by covering the blade with the cover member, it is possible to prevent damage to the blade during transportation or damage to other objects due to the blade.

  It is also a preferred embodiment that the drive part of the drive means is constituted by a drive part of an electric tool. If the drive unit is configured by a drive unit of a general-purpose electric tool, the manufacturing cost of the removal device can be significantly reduced.

  The deposit removal method according to the present invention inserts the blade edge of the blade between the attachment surface and the deposit while driving the blade by the driving means so that the movement direction of the blade includes at least a component in the left-right direction. In this case, the adhered matter adhered to the adhesion surface is peeled off and removed.

  In this removal method, the blade edge is pressed between the deposit and the adhesion surface while the blade is driven by the driving means so that the movement direction of the blade includes at least a component in the left-right direction, and the adhesion portion is peeled and removed. become. In other words, the pulling operation of the blade when the blade edge is moved in the left-right direction can tear the boundary portion between the deposit and the attachment surface and remove the deposit, so the blade can be simply moved forward and backward. As compared with the case where the deposit is peeled off by pushing, the deposit can be efficiently peeled and removed.

  According to the apparatus and method for removing deposits according to the present invention, the cutting edge is placed between the deposit and the adhesion surface while driving the cutter by the driving means so that at least the component in the left-right direction is included in the movement direction of the cutting edge. By inserting, the adhered portion is peeled off from the adhered surface. In other words, the pulling operation of the blade when the blade edge is moved in the left-right direction can tear the boundary portion between the deposit and the attachment surface and remove the deposit, so the blade can be simply moved forward and backward. As compared with the case where the deposit is peeled off by pushing, the deposit can be efficiently peeled and removed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The drive unit 12 includes a drive unit 20 having a configuration similar to that of a power tool such as a general disc grinder, and an output in the vertical direction of the drive unit 20 so that at least a horizontal component is included in the movement direction of the blade edge 14. And a switching unit 22 that switches the rotational motion of the shaft 21 to the motion of the blade 11.

  The drive unit 20 will be described. An electric motor (not shown) is mounted in the housing 23 of the drive unit 20 with the rotating shaft in the front-rear direction, and in the housing 23 of the drive unit 20 on the front side of the electric motor, A gear mechanism (not shown) that switches the rotational motion of the rotary shaft in the front-rear direction of the electric motor to the rotational motion of the output shaft 21 in the vertical direction is provided. The gear mechanism transmits rotational force via a bevel gear (not shown) provided at the tip of the rotating shaft and a ring gear (not shown) provided in the middle of the output shaft 21, so that the electric motor This is a known configuration in which the rotary motion of the rotary shaft in the front-rear direction is switched to the rotary motion of the output shaft 21 in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the switching unit 22 switches the rotational movement of the output shaft 21 of the driving unit 20 to the reciprocating movement of the blade 11 so that the cutting edge 14 of the blade 11 moves elliptically. As shown in the figure, a box-shaped casing 24 extending forward is fixed to the front lower surface of the housing 23 of the drive unit 20, and the output shaft 21 of the drive unit 20 is inserted into the rear part of the casing 24. The output shaft 21 is provided with a first gear 25 that rotates integrally with the output shaft 21. A vertical support shaft 26 is rotatably supported through a bearing 27 at a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction of the casing 24, and a second gear 28 that meshes with the first gear 25 is integrated with a middle portion of the support shaft 26. Provided.

  A spacer block 29 is provided at the front portion of the casing 24, and a substantially flat output plate 30 extending forward through a gap between the spacer block 29 and the lower wall portion is movable in the front-rear direction in the lower portion of the casing 24. Is provided. An eccentric shaft 31 is integrally provided on the support shaft 26 between the second gear 28 and the casing 24, and a through-hole 33 through which the eccentric shaft 31 is rotatably inserted through a bearing 32 is provided at the rear portion of the output plate 30. Is formed. An elongated guide hole 34 is formed in the front portion of the output plate 30 in the front-rear direction. A bearing 35 is assembled in the guide hole 34 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. A guide shaft portion 29 a through which the bearing 35 is inserted is inserted into the spacer block 29. Are integrally formed in the vertical direction, and the output plate 30 is supported so as to be movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the guide shaft portion 29a and swingable about the guide shaft portion 29a.

  A cutter 11 extending forward and a pressing plate 37 superimposed on the upper side thereof are detachably fixed to a front end portion of the output plate 30 protruding forward from the casing 24. The blade 11 is made of a thin elastic metal plate such as a stainless steel plate and protrudes forward from the pressing plate 37. The pressing plate 37 is formed of a plate-like member formed in a gently curved shape that is lowered forward, and the blade 11 is fixed to the output plate 30 in a state of being elastically deformed in a curved shape that is lowered forward along the lower surface of the pressing plate 37. . In this way, the blade 11 is elastically deformed into a downwardly curved shape, so that the blade 11 can be prevented from warping even when the tip of the blade 11 is strongly pressed against the adhesion surface 2. .

  A blade edge 14 extending in a substantially straight shape in the left-right direction is formed at the tip of the blade 11. However, the blade edge 14 can also be formed in an inclined shape with respect to the left-right direction, and the middle portion is formed in a straight shape and a rounded shape is formed at both ends as in the blade edge 14A shown in FIG. 6 may be formed in a semicircular arc shape as in the cutting edge 14B shown in FIG. 6, or may be formed in a wave shape such as a sine wave like in the cutting edge 14C shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, it is also possible to use a blade 11E having a pair of arcuate cutting edges 14E by cutting off both side portions of a disk-shaped blade 11D at a position indicated by an alternate long and short dash line.

  A rod-like handle 40 extending upward is fixed to the substantially central portion of the upper wall portion of the casing 24. While holding the housing 23 of the drive unit 20 with one hand and holding the handle 40 with the other hand, The removal apparatus 10 is operated so that the deposit 1 can be removed. However, the handle 40 can be provided at any position where it can be easily operated, such as being provided on the side wall portion of the casing 24 so as to protrude sideways. In addition, regarding the shape of the handle 40, an arbitrary shape considering operability can be adopted.

  The cover member 13 is formed of a transparent box-shaped member that can be externally mounted on the blade 11 with the bottom surface side and the rear surface side open, and the use illustrated by the solid line in FIG. 3 via the hinge member 41 at the upper front end of the casing 24. It is rotatably supported over the position and the open position shown in phantom lines in FIG. The casing 24 is provided with stopper members 42 and 43 for positioning the cover member 13 between the use position and the open position, and a spring member 44 is stretched between both sides of the cover member 13 and the casing 24. When the spring member 44 is rotated above the neutral line NL indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2 by the rotation, the cover member 13 is urged by the spring member 44 to the open position shown in the phantom line, and from the neutral line NL. Further, when the spring member 44 rotates downward, the cover member 13 is urged by the spring member 44 to the use position side shown in the solid line.

  When removing the deposit 1 using the removing device 10 configured as described above, the housing 23 of the drive unit 20 is held with one hand while the cover member 13 is rotated to the use position. While holding the removal device 10 with both hands, such as holding the handle 40 with the other hand, the electric motor is driven to reciprocate the blade 11. At this time, when the output shaft 21 is rotated by the electric motor, the support shaft 26 is decelerated and rotated through the first gear 25 and the second gear 28, and as shown in FIGS. 4, the output plate 30 reciprocates back and forth along the guide hole 34 while swinging about the guide shaft portion 29a, as shown in FIG. As described above, the cutting edge 14 of the blade 11 moves elliptically.

  In this way, the blade edge 14 is pressed against the adhesion surface 2 in front of the deposit 1 while the blade edge 14 is elliptically moved, and the blade edge 14 is inserted between the deposit 1 and the adhesion surface 2. In this case, the attached object 1 is peeled and removed from the attachment surface 2 while applying a force in the direction of tearing the boundary portion between the attachment surface 2 and the attachment portion by the cutting edge 14 that moves elliptically.

  As described above, in the removing device 10, the attachment 1 is removed while the cutting edge 14 is moved in an elliptical motion, that is, a force in the direction of cutting the boundary between the attachment 1 and the attachment surface 2 is applied. The deposit 1 can be removed much more efficiently than in the case.

  This removal device 10 can be suitably used for removing paper products such as invoices glued to a transport box, wallpaper, posters affixed to walls, telephone poles, etc. It can also be used to remove sticking chewing gum, etc., or to remove the paint film from the painted surface.

  In this embodiment, the cutting edge 14 is moved elliptically. However, if the movement direction of the cutting edge 14 includes a component in the left-right direction, a force in the direction of tearing can be applied to the boundary. Therefore, similar effects can be obtained by circular motion, linear motion in the left-right direction, and linear motion in the oblique direction. Moreover, since the cutting force increases as the motion component of the blade edge 14 in the left-right direction increases, it is preferable to use an elliptical motion having long sides in the left-right direction.

  In addition, as a configuration for causing the cutting edge 14 to move elliptically, circularly, or linearly in the left-right direction, an arbitrary configuration using a cam, a ring, or the like can be employed.
