Abstract

A cleaning method which comprises immersing an object to be cleaned in a cleaning fluid reserved in a cleaning tank. In a heating step (S2), the cleaning fluid is heated to a pressure reduction/restoration pulse initiation temperature. In a pressure reduction/restoration pulse step (S3), the inside of the cleaning tank is kept under pressure-reducing operation conditions until the temperature of the cleaning fluid reaches a pressure reduction /restoration pulse termination temperature, whereby the cleaning fluid is kept in a boiling state. Every time a prescribed temperature drop of the cleaning fluid occurs during the step (S3), the pressure in the cleaning tank gets restored in an instant, whereby the boiling of the cleaning fluid is interrupted temporarily. At this pressure-restoring step, the steam bubbles which have been generated by boiling in the cleaning fluid condense in an instant. The cleaning fluid is stirred and moved by the pressure waves and pressure difference created by the condensation, whereby the object can be cleaned.

Patent documentation
Patent documentation 1:JP spy open flat 7-136604 communique (claim 1,0009-0011 section, the 0020-0022 section, table 1, Fig. 1)
The inventor is to having carried out research with keen determination based on the cleaning of boiled, and the result finds out, through instantaneous multiple pressure the bubble that in the boiling that decompression causes, is created in the cleaning fluid is condensed quickly, also goes far towards cleaning performance.In order to obtain this effect, multiple pressure and instantaneous multiple the pressure are important in the boiling of cleaning fluid.For this reason, the decompression of the clear and definite uniform pressure that only reduces pressure repeatedly simply and return to atmospheric multiple the pressure is not enough fastening with the pass of the generation of boiling or its elimination.
In addition, in the boiling that is increased in cleaning fluid based on the number of times of instantaneous multiple cleaning of pressing, the pressure in the rinse bath is reduced gradually, in this decompression process, be the multiple pressure in pulse type ground simultaneously and be absolutely necessary.Therefore, as existing cleaning method,, be not enough only through carrying out repeatedly with reducing pressure authorized pressure and after this decompression finishes, be pressed onto atmospheric pressure again and then the operation with last time identical authorized pressure of reducing pressure in the rinse bath.
Below, remark additionally a little, in the invention of patent documentation 1 record, be not limited to begin multiple pressure in the boiling.In addition, owing to also will spend 10 seconds multiple pressures, so can not say so instantaneous and press again for the moment.
In addition, though the invention of patent documentation 1 record is decompression and the technology of multiple pressure afterwards in the repeated multiple times rinse bath, since do not carry out the temperature treatment of cleaning fluid, the grade that then reduces pressure and press grade certain all the time again.
If the decompression grade is certain, then fastening with the pass that has or not boiling of bringing influence to cleaning performance, can be with decompression in the rinse bath with making a futile effort, or opposite decompression deficiency.And, cleaning fluid is cooled off in the ground decompression meeting of making a futile effort in the rinse bath rapidly, the having or not of boiling when this can be to next time later decompression brings influence.On the contrary, if the decompression in the rinse bath is not enough, then cleaning fluid does not seethe with excitement, and can't obtain sufficient cleaning performance.
In addition, if the decompression grade is certain, then fastening with the pass of rinse liquid temperature, cleaning fluid seethes with excitement or does not seethe with excitement, though the therefore same operation of implementing decompression and pressing again, the big difference that on cleaning performance, produces.If make the cleaning fluid boiling when wanting when establishing decompression grade certain (for example 60mmHg), to reduce pressure, then need the temperature of cleaning fluid be remained necessarily (for example 40 ℃) at every turn.At this moment, though with heated wash liquid such as heaters, be that flexible pipe etc. has under the situation of hollow bulb being cleaned thing, the rising of temperature that is cleaned the cleaning fluid in the thing is slower than the rising of the temperature of the cleaning fluid that is cleaned beyond the region of objective existence.The result is, even heated wash liquid also has the misgivings that in being cleaned thing, can not cause boiling.If will prevent this unfavorable condition, need to prolong the heat time heating time of cleaning fluid.
On the other hand, be fixing till the atmospheric pressure if press grade again, then and cleaning performance brought the pass between the cancellation of boiling of influence fasten, become multiple the pressure with making a futile effort, and force futile decompression when correspondingly reduce pressure next time.
But; Futile decompression or multiple pressure; Not merely only be to prolong scavenging period, also producing waste aspect employed water of the mechanism of decompressor (water shutoff of water seal type vacuum pump, steam condense with the cooling water of heat exchanger) or the electric power (vavuum pump drives the electric power of usefulness).

Water supply mechanism 4, the mechanism of decompressor 5, multiple press mechanism 6, heating arrangements 7 and drainage mechanism 8 are by controlling organization 11 controls.The detection signal that this controlling organization 11 is based on said each sensor 9,10 waits the controller 33 of controlling said each mechanism 4~8.Specifically, supply-water pump 17, killer injecting pump 18, feed water valve 19, heat exchange feed water valve 25, water shutoff feed water valve 26, vavuum pump 24, steam supply valve 28, steam supply valve 30, draining valve 32, pressure sensor 9 and liquid temperature sensor 10 are connected in controller 33.And controller 33 according to the rules order (program) as following realizes the cleaning that is cleaned thing 2 in the rinse bath 3.
Below, specify for the cleaning method of the cleaning device 1 that uses this embodiment.Fig. 2 is the figure of an example of the cleaning method of the expression cleaning device 1 that uses this embodiment; Line P representes that line T representes from the relation between the temperature of elapsed time that begins to clean and cleaning fluid from elapsed time that begins to clean and the relation between the pressure in the rinse bath.In addition, Fig. 3 is the flow chart of an example of the cleaning method of the expression cleaning device 1 that uses this embodiment.
Under the state, in rinse bath 3, do not have cleaning fluid in the early stage, each valve 19,25,26,30,32 beyond the steam supply valve 28 cuts out, and each pump 17,18,24 stops action.Begin to carry out in order water filling operation S1, heating process S2, reduce pressure and press pulse operation S3 and drainage procedure S4 again from this A-stage.
Before water filling operation S1, in rinse bath 3, put into and be cleaned thing 2, close the lid 13 of rinse bath 3.But, be cleaned thing 2 and also can after water filling operation S1, put into rinse bath 3 soon, at this moment, will be cleaned after thing 2 puts into rinse bath 3 lid 13 of the rinse bath 3 that closes.In any case, being cleaned thing 2 is immersed in the cleaning fluid in the rinse bath 3.
Water filling operation S1 is an operation of in rinse bath 3, being injected cleaning fluid by water supply mechanism 4.In this embodiment, under the state of opening feed water valve 19, make supply-water pump 17 and killer injecting pump 18 actions, in rinse bath 3, put into cleaning fluid.Through adding the cleaning agent of desired amount in the water of action in being supplied to rinse bath 3 of killer injecting pump 18.But, as previously mentioned, can omit the interpolation of cleaning agent, at this moment, can omit the setting of killer injecting pump 18 and spray tank 20.In addition, in raw water box 15, except the water that adds cleaning agent, also can accumulate and use pure water, soft water, other cleaning fluid.In water filling operation S1, under the state that the lid 13 with rinse bath 3 closes, be accompanied by water filling to rinse bath 3, the air in the rinse bath 3 is 27 discharges from the air feed road.
When detecting cleaning fluid through the liquid level sensor (diagram is omitted) that is provided with at rinse bath 3 when accumulating the predetermined water level in the rinse bath 3, stop the water supply of water supply mechanism 4.Specifically, close feed water valve 19, and stop supply-water pump 17 and killer injecting pump 18, get into subsequent processing.But the water supply in rinse bath 3 predetermined water level in proceeding to rinse bath 3, also can be put into the cleaning fluid of ormal weight in rinse bath 3.At this moment, can control the output in rinse bath 3 through only supplying water to rinse bath 3 with the stipulated time.
(S21~S23) is heated to decompression with the cleaning fluids in the rinse bath 3 to press pulse to begin the operation of temperature again heating process S2.Specifically, through heating arrangements 7 heated wash liquid, become decompression up to cleaning fluid and press pulse to begin temperature again.In this embodiment, open steam supply valve 30, be blown into steam in the cleaning fluid in rinse bath 3, heated wash liquid (S21).In this steam is supplied with, the temperature of keeping watch on cleaning fluids through liquid temperature sensor 10, when cleaning fluid became decompression and presses pulse to begin temperature again, steam off supply valve 30 got into subsequent processing (S22, S23).At this moment, preferably when cleaning fluid becomes decompression and presses pulse to begin temperature again, keeping this temperature with the mode of stipulated time, based on the switching of the detection signal control steam supply valve 30 of liquid temperature sensor 10, the steam off supply valve 30 afterwards, get into subsequent processing.Through pressing pulse to begin temperature again to keep cleaning fluid with the stipulated time in decompression, thereby even have for the flexible pipe that kind under the situation of hollow bulb being cleaned thing 2, the temperature that also can make the inside and outside cleaning fluid that is cleaned thing 2 is for necessarily.
Decompression presses pulse to begin the not special qualification of temperature again; But in the spot that is cleaned thing 2 is under the situation of bloodstain; Because if surpass 60 ℃ of then protein thermal deformation and sets; So under this situation that is cleaned thing 2, it is below 60 ℃ that preferred decompression presses pulse to begin temperature again, more preferably below 50 ℃.In this embodiment, decompression is pressed pulse to begin temperature again and for example is set at 50 ℃.
(among the S31~S35), the cleaning fluid in rinse bath 3 becomes decompression presses before the end-of-pulsing temperature again, to reducing pressure in the rinse bath 3, so that cleaning fluid constantly boiling (S31, S32) to press pulse operation S3 again in decompression.During this, in the boiling of cleaning fluid, carry out repeatedly regulation constantly with rinse bath 3 in instantaneous multiple the pressure, temporarily interrupt the operation (S33, S34) of the boiling of cleaning fluid.Reduce pressure like this, repeatedly and instantaneous multiple pressure.Decompression presses the end-of-pulsing temperature not have special the qualification again, but because if the then cleaning performance decline of cleaning temperature step-down, thus be preferably more than 20 ℃, more preferably more than 25 ℃.
If more specifically explanation is then pressed among the pulse operation S3 in decompression again, continue the action of the mechanism of decompressor 5, the pressure in the rinse bath 3 is descended gradually, realize cleaning fluid constantly boiling (S31, S32) thus.But, during this, the temperature of keeping watch on cleaning fluids by liquid temperature sensor 10, when the temperature of each cleaning fluid reduces ormal weight, by multiple press mechanism 6 with temporary transient multiple press (S33, S34) in the rinse bath 3.Decompressions in 5 pairs of rinse baths of the mechanism of decompressor 3 are as long as closing steam supply valve 28, opening under the state of heat exchange feed water valve 25 and water shutoff feed water valve 26 and make vavuum pump 24 actions.In addition, as long as open the steam supply valve 28 that constitutes by magnetic valve based on the instantaneous multiple pressure that returns to setting pressure of multiple press mechanism 6.When this is pressed again, also can make the action of the mechanism of decompressor 5 former states.Then, open steam supply valve 28, make multiple pressure the in the rinse bath 3, interrupt the boiling of cleaning fluid, afterwards, close steam supply valve 28 again, the boiling (S31) of decompression in the realization rinse bath 3 and the cleaning fluid that causes thus.
Press again among the pulse operation S3 in decompression,, just do not limit the moment of multiple pressure especially as long as in the boiling of cleaning fluid, press again.In this embodiment, though the temperature of keeping watch on cleaning fluids based on liquid temperature sensor 10 is pressed when the every decline set point of temperature of this temperature again, the pressure that also can keep watch in the rinse baths 3 based on pressure sensor 9 is pressed when the every decline authorized pressure of this pressure again.Perhaps, the gas phase portion in rinse bath 3 is provided with temperature sensor, based on the temperature of the gas phase portion in this temperature sensor monitors rinse bath 3, when the every decline set point of temperature of this temperature, presses again.No matter which kind of situation, set point of temperature or authorized pressure can be pressed the change midway of pulse operation S3 again in decompression, according to circumstances also can be all different at every turn.In addition, pressing again during the every decline ormal weight of pressure in the temperature of cleaning fluid or rinse bath 3 or temperature, also can only press again in each stipulated time through timer.
Said set point of temperature (said authorized pressure is also taken this as the standard same definite) is suitably set, and in this embodiment, for example adopts 2 ℃.Therefore, at heating process S2 cleaning fluid is heated under 50 ℃ the situation, first multiple pressure is carried out when cleaning fluid becomes 48 ℃.And, with the each temperature of setting of the mode of step-down in order, need to see the temperature fall that only is full of the evaporation of steam in flexible pipe or in the container.On the other hand, if set big temperature fall, then cause the temperature of futile cleaning fluid to descend.Therefore, the temperature fall with the each setting of mode of step-down in order is preferably 0.5~5 ℃, more preferably 1~3 ℃.
On the other hand, instantaneous multiple pressure proceeds to the pressure that the boiling that makes cleaning fluid stops.Especially, preferably under, become the pressure of the pressure that the boiling that approaches cleaning fluid stops less than atmospheric pressure.Partway through negative pressure, but not be pressed onto atmospheric pressure again, stop the control of the boiling of cleaning fluid, do not have the futile of influence to press again and follow to cleaning performance, can shorten scavenging period in the futile decompression of this next time thereby can eliminate.And, through eliminating futile decompression, can also realize the reduction of the use amount of the mechanism of decompressor 5 employed water or electric power in the rinse bath 3.And this presses grade again is that certain value is just enough, also can reduce etc. change on the way gradually according to hope.
So, according to the cleaning method of this embodiment,, in this boiling,, stop the boiling of cleaning fluid with the instantaneous setting pressure that is pressed onto again in the rinse bath 3 to reducing pressure in the rinse bath 3 and making the cleaning fluid boiling quickly.Therefore, when pressing again, the bubble flash set of the steam that in cleaning fluid, produces through boiling so far.Pressure wave when condensing through it or pressure differential, cleaning fluid are stirred and are transferred, and realize being cleaned the cleaning of thing 2.And, carry out such operation repeatedly, be accompanied by decompression, cleaning fluid is cooled.At this moment, if deal with, be that the soft grade of pipe has under the situation of hollow bulb then being cleaned thing 2 through the heating of heater etc., be cleaned rinse liquid temperatures in the thing 2 and rise slowlyer, so need to prolong the retention time after the heating than being cleaned the outer rinse liquid temperature of thing 2.Therefore,, reduce gradually, cleaning fluid is reliably seethed with excitement, can obtain reliable and stable cleaning performance through making the pressure in the rinse bath 3 in order to tackle this situation.
But as stated, the bubble that produces through decompression is because of the disappearance of condensing of instantaneous multiple pressure, but up to the utmost point short time of its disappearance, causes big as far as possible pressure differential bubble inside and outside, and this can further stir and transfer cleaning fluid.For example, when being cleaned thing 2 and being flexible pipe, the time of the bubble collapse in this flexible pipe is the several seconds, therefore under air dividing potential drop amount, increases the required time of 20kPa to be preferably in 1 second, in more preferably 0.1 second.
In addition, before instantaneous multiple pressure, in cleaning fluid, have steam as much as possible, can produce the pressure wave when condensing in more space like this.For this reason, rinse liquid temperature is reduced rapidly, preferred rinse liquid temperature per minute reduces more than 1 ℃, and more preferably per minute reduces more than 2 ℃.
Becoming decompression at cleaning fluid presses again and carries out this decompression before the end-of-pulsing temperature and press pulse operation S3 (S32) again.Decompression presses the end-of-pulsing temperature not limit especially again, for example is set at 30 ℃.Afterwards,, finish to clean with being pressed onto atmospheric pressure in the rinse bath 3 again, but also can be as shown in Figure 2, repeated multiple times is carried out heating process S2 and is pressed the group (S35) of pulse operation S3 again with reducing pressure.
That is to say that when cleaning fluid became decompression and presses the end-of-pulsing temperature again, can heat became decompression up to cleaning fluid and press pulse to begin temperature again again, become once more before decompression presses the end-of-pulsing temperature again, reduce pressure repeatedly and answer pressure at cleaning fluid.And, become decompression at cleaning fluid and press pulse to begin the circulation that is constituted repeatedly that the heating of the cleaning fluid before the temperature and the decompression that becomes at cleaning fluid in the rinse bath 3 of decompression before pressing the end-of-pulsing temperature again press again again to carry out set point number (being twice among Fig. 2) and get final product.In circulation once, through reducing pressure multiple pressure repeatedly, rinse liquid temperature reduces gradually; For example have that fat constituent solidifies, the situation of cleaning performance difference; But through rinse liquid temperature is risen, reduce pressure multiple pressure afterwards repeatedly, can carry out more reliable and stable cleaning.But, press again after pulse begins temperature cleaning fluid being heated to decompression, as shown in Figure 2, preferably begin temperature and keep the stipulated time with the multiple pressure pulse of reducing pressure.
Drainage procedure S4 afterwards is with being pressed onto atmospheric pressure in the rinse bath 3 again, discharging the operation of the rinse water in the rinse bath 3.Specifically, as long as after being pressed onto atmospheric pressure again in rinse bath 3, opening draining valve 32 discharge rinse water and get final product opening steam supply valve 28.Afterwards, according to hope, be cleaned the rinsing of thing 2.For example, in rinse bath 3, put into water and be heated to set point of temperature,, be cleaned the rinsing of thing 2 reducing pressure in the rinse bath 3 and multiple the pressure.Such rinsing can carry out twice, and at this moment, secondary rinsing can be set De Genggao with the temperature of the water in the rinse bath 3 than primary rinsing, for example uses 80~90 ℃ water.
Behind rinsing process, rinse water is discharged, carry out drying process then and get final product.In drying process, in rinse bath 3, supply with steam, improve the temperature that is cleaned thing 2, afterwards to reducing pressure in the rinse bath 3.Perhaps, in rinse bath 3, import warm air, get final product vacuumizing in the rinse bath 3 through the mechanism of decompressor 5 simultaneously through heat exchange with steam.Thus, the drying that is cleaned thing 2 in the realization rinse bath 3.
Cleaning device of the present invention and cleaning method are not limited to the formation of said embodiment, can suitably change.Especially press again among the pulse operation S3 in decompression; If comprise that the pressure that make repeatedly in the rinse bath 3 reduce gradually and the boiling of the cleaning fluid that the decompression rinse bath 3 in causes in instantaneous multiple pressure and the operation of operation of temporarily interrupting the boiling of cleaning fluid, other can suitably change.
In addition,, in Fig. 1,, also can omit heat exchanger 22, only keep vavuum pump 24 though possess heat exchanger 22 and vavuum pump 24 as the mechanism of decompressor 5.On the contrary, also can replace vavuum pump 24, possess steam jet ejector or water ejector with heat exchanger 22 or except that them.And then the air that also can behind initial water filling operation S1, before the heating process S2, implement in the rinse bath 3 is got rid of operation.Perhaps, also can in water filling operation S1, close steam supply valve 28, and make the mechanism of decompressor 5 actions, in water filling in rinse bath 3, realize thus in rinse bath 3, discharging air.
In addition; In said embodiment; Though the water in the raw water box 15 is supplied in the rinse bath 3 through supply-water pump 17; But also can be through in advance with reducing pressure in 5 pairs of rinse baths 3 of the mechanism of decompressor, thus the inside and outside differential pressure of rinse bath 3 utilized, and do not use supply-water pump 17 that the water in the raw water box 15 are supplied in the rinse bath 3.And, in this water supply, sneak into cleaning agent and can utilize differential pressure to carry out too.
In addition; In said embodiment; Though become before decompression presses the end-of-pulsing temperature again at cleaning fluid, carry out decompression and multiple pressure in the rinse bath repeatedly, also can in rinse bath 3, become decompression and press again before the end-of-pulsing pressure; Or in rinse bath 3, become decompression and press again before the end-of-pulsing temperature, carry out decompression and multiple pressure in the rinse bath repeatedly.Whether become decompression in the rinse bath 3 and press end-of-pulsing pressure again; As long as utilizing pressure sensor 9 keeps watch on; Whether become decompression in the rinse bath 3 and press the end-of-pulsing temperature again, as long as utilize the temperature sensor monitors that is arranged on the gas phase portion in the rinse bath 3.
In addition, in said embodiment, whenever carry out once instantaneous multiple pressure, the decompression grade after making it reduces, but also can whenever carry out repeatedly instantaneous multiple the pressure, and the decompression grade after making it reduces.At this moment, also make the cleaning fluid boiling, and instantaneous answering pressed in its boiling through decompression.
And then, in the cleaning device and cleaning method of said embodiment, also can append cleaning based on ultrasonic vibration.That is, also can the ultrasonic vibration part further be set at rinse bath 3.And, for example in heating process S2, can realize cleaning based on ultrasonic vibration.Heating process S2 is not because heated wash liquid only have help to cleaning, so in this operation, through cleaning fluid is imposed ultrasonic vibration, thereby to being cleaned thing 2 enforcement ultrasonic waves for cleaning, can further improve cleaning performance.
At last, in said embodiment, under the state of in rinse bath 3, just having accommodated after being cleaned thing 2, need not be cleaned thing 2 and must be immersed in the cleaning fluid all.For example, be housed under the situation of rinse bath 3 to multilayer up and down will having put into the shelf that is cleaned thing 2, can not flood the shelf of the superiors.At this moment, through the boiling of cleaning fluid, cleaning fluid is touched all are cleaned thing 2 and it is cleaned.So, though be not immersed in the cleaning fluid before being cleaned the cleaning fluid boiling of thing 2 in rinse bath 3, the cleaning fluid in making rinse bath 3 also can be disposed at the position that is immersed in the cleaning fluid when seething with excitement.At this moment, can increase the space that is provided with that is cleaned thing 2, can more be cleaned thing 2 through once turning round to clean.In addition, turn round owing to reducing liquid level, so can suppress the use amount of cleaning fluid.
