Be used in cleaning medium 11 in the dry type cleaning apparatus 1 and be the solid of making and be shaped as particle, bar-shaped, cylindrical, fibrous or thin slice by metal, pottery, synthetic resin, sponge, fabric or the like.Cleaning medium 11 can and/or adhere to the characteristic of the dust on the object 2 to be cleaned such as particle diameter and adhesion strength are selected according to characteristic such as the shape and the material of object 2 to be cleaned.In the imaging device that adopts electrophotographic method, cleaning medium 11 is preferably lamelliform, as resin flake, sheets of fabric, the scraps of paper or foil, be used to remove that to adhere to by the average particulate diameter on synthetic resin or the metal parts be the toner-particles of 5 μ m to 10 μ m.
Preferred thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 is because its quality is very little with respect to air drag.Therefore, when with the power of air-flow when bigger projected area direction applies, cleaning medium 11 is easy to quicken and fly up at a high speed by air-flow.On the direction of little projected area, air drag is less, thereby when cleaning medium 11 was blown in the direction, cleaning medium 11 is the very long segment distance of high-speed mobile continuously.The energy levels of cleaning medium 11 is higher, thereby this cleaning medium 11 applies bigger power to object 2 to be cleaned when cleaning medium 11 contacts with object 2 to be cleaned, so just can remove the dust that adheres to object 2 to be cleaned effectively.In addition, along with cleaning medium 11 repetitive cycling in cleaning box 3, cleaning medium 11 contacts with object 2 to be cleaned continually, thereby improves cleaning efficiency.
The air drag of thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 changes according to the posture of cleaning medium 11 significantly.Thereby cleaning medium 11 not only moves but also moves in the mode of more complicated along airflow direction, as swerves.In addition, according to the effect of high velocity air, the opening 12 of cleaning objects fixed cell 7 and object to be cleaned 2 turbulization.Thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 is subjected to the influence with the proportional air drag of its quality, and very may follow turbulent motion.Therefore, cleaning medium 11 is moved in the mode of complexity, and owing to the whirlpool of turbulent flow rotates.So, thereby even repeatedly contacting the shape that object 2 to be cleaned has relative complex with object 2 to be cleaned, thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 also can improve cleaning efficiency.
Shown in Fig. 4 A, 4B, when thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 clashed into object 2 to be cleaned with the edge of thin slice shape cleaning medium 11, contact force was concentrated at the edge of thin slice shape cleaning medium 11.So,, also can obtain the power that dust or the like is removed in enough being used to even thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 quality are less.Along with the increase of the contact force on the object 2 to be cleaned, 11 bendings of thin slice shape cleaning medium, and therefore above-mentioned power reduces.Therefore, as being used for blast-injection (blast-shot) material or the grinding-material that barreling (barrel) is handled, thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 does not apply too much power to object 2 to be cleaned, thereby can not damage object 2 to be cleaned unlike normally used material.In addition, because thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 and object 2 bumps to be cleaned and receive the viscous drag of high level and bending from air, so the bump that is carried out becomes and do not have elasticity, and thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 can not rebound.When thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 clashes into object 2 to be cleaned with an inclination angle, itself and object to be cleaned 2 sliding-contacts.Specifically, behind the bump, thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 slide always swipe simultaneously and rub object 2 to be cleaned than large tracts of land.Therefore, the toner-particle that adheres to object to be cleaned 2 surfaces receives the power that is parallel to the surface from thin slice shape cleaning medium 11.Thereby, only use less power just toner-particle can be separated from object 2 to be cleaned, thereby improved cleaning efficiency.
Along with thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 bump resolution elements 20, produce distortion and/or vibration, dust granule of adhering on the object 2 to be cleaned or the like is easily separated from object 2 to be cleaned, and prevent that them from adhering to object 2 to be cleaned once more and getting on.
Because thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 can be removed dust efficiently as adhering to the toner-particle on the object 2 to be cleaned, thus only need more a spot of thin slice shape cleaning medium 11, thus reduced influence and operating cost to environment.
Specification has provided and has made thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 fly up and circulate in cleaning box 3 to remove dust as adhering to the operation of the toner-particle on the object 2 to be cleaned.
In advance thin slice shape cleaning medium 11 is stacked into cleaning medium and flies up on the separative element 17 of unit 5, and utilize riser unit 19 that separative element 17 and vibration unit 18 are reduced to predetermined low side.In this case, put on the side, object 2 to be cleaned is fixed to cleaning objects fixed cell 7 in the cleaning box 3 at the cleaning box of slide rail 13.Then, with the cleaning objects inlet 9 that covers 8 sealing cleaning boxes 3.Sequentially be placed on the cleaning box 3 that accommodates object 2 to be cleaned on the slip step 14 and utilize step driver element 16 that it is sequentially moved.Fly up unit 5 and position sensor 34 when detecting the cleaning box 3 that is kept by slip step 14 when the slip step 14 of the case 3 that keeps clean arrives cleaning mediums, and control device 15 makes step driver element 16 stop mobile slip step 14.Then, in predetermined timing, riser unit 19 rises separative element 17 and vibration unit 18.When separative element 17 and vibration unit 18 arrives the upper end, and the resolution element 20 of separative element 17 is when contacting with cleaning box main body 6 with predetermined force, and control device 15 is done as follows.Just, control device 15 is opened extraction valve 29 and intake valve 30, utilize exhaust tube 22 in cleaning box 3, to extract (shifting out) air out, and compressed air is blown in the cleaning box 3 producing highly air-flow cleaning box 3 in from the nozzle 28 of air inlet pipe 23, thereby the cleaning medium 11 that is deposited on the resolution element 20 is flown up and evokes cleaning medium 11.Simultaneously, control device 15 drives the vibrating motor 32 of vibration unit 18 so that separative element 17 vibrations.High velocity air speed is preferably at least more than or equal to 10m/s, more preferably more than or equal to 50m/s, makes cleaning medium 11 with 5m/s, and more preferably the speed of 10m/s flies up.
Fig. 5 A illustrates cleaning medium 11 and how to play a role.Cleaning medium 11 flies up by the opening 12 of cleaning objects fixed cell 7, clashes into object 2 to be cleaned, and isolates granular material such as toner-particle from object 2 to be cleaned.Along with the generation air-flow of bleeding from exhaust tube 22, the particles hit separating component 20 that makes cleaning medium 11 and separate.The particle of separating passes separating component 20 and is extracted out by exhaust tube 22.The particle that adheres on the cleaning medium 11 is separated from cleaning medium 11, extracted out by separating component 20, and remove.The cleaning medium 11 that utilizes airflow cleans to come out from particle separation, and it is collected on the separating component 20 around the position relative with the bleeding point 26 that is connected to exhaust tube 22.If cleaning medium 11 gathers in the above described manner, separating component 20 will be reduced blocked and draft so, thereby reduce the speed make the air-flow that cleaning medium 11 flies up.For fear of above-mentioned situation, vibration unit 18 along continuous straight runs shown in Fig. 5 B moves separating component 20.Specifically, make on separating component 20 position of piling up cleaning medium 11 move to the position opposite with air inlet 27, wherein air inlet 27 is connected to the nozzle 28 of air inlet pipe 23, and like this, the compressed air of producing by boasting from nozzle 28 flies up the cleaning medium 11 of accumulation.Vibration unit 18 moves horizontally separating component 20 between the two positions back and forth, with respect to the air inlet 27 on the both sides relative position that is positioned at exhaust outlet 26.So just guarantee that the cleaning medium 11 that is deposited on the separating component 20 flies up, thereby prevent to block separating component 20.Therefore, the air-flow in the cleaning box 3 remains at a high speed, thereby utilizes the cleaning medium 11 that flies up stably to remove the toner-particle that adheres to object 2 to be cleaned.
This process continues for some time up to thorough cleaning object 2 to be cleaned.Control device 15 cuts out intake valve 30 then and blows out from the nozzle 28 of air inlet pipe 23 to stop compressed air, and vibration unit 18 stops to vibrate resolution element 20.Blow in cleaning box 3 and stop separating component 20 vibration by stopping compressed air, the cleaning medium 11 that flies up in cleaning box 3 and cleaning medium 11 or the like on adhering to object 2 to be cleaned are extracted to and are deposited on the separating component 20 on the position relative with the bleeding point 26 of separative element 17.After exhaust tube 22 was carried out bleeding of a period of time, control device 15 cut out extraction valve 29 and utilizes riser unit 19 that separative element 17 and vibration unit 18 are reduced.When separative element 17 and vibration unit 18 were reduced to the lower end, control device 15 drove step driver elements 16 so that the slip step 14 of the case 3 that keeps clean moves forward.When the slip step 14 of the cleaning box 3 that keeps including the object to be cleaned 2 that next time will clean arrived cleaning mediums and flies up the position of 5 tops, unit, slip step 14 stopped and repeating top step.
Therefore, can clean a lot of objects to be cleaned 2 continuously, thereby improve cleaning efficiency.In addition, when having only slip step 14 when the case 3 that keeps clean to be positioned at cleaning medium to fly up the top position of unit 5, compressed air just blows in cleaning box 3 and the air in the cleaning box 3 is drawn out of.Therefore, unnecessary compressed air and unnecessary extraction can be got rid of, the energy can be saved like this.
In the superincumbent description, stop up the separating component 20 of the separative element 17 that moves around in order to prevent be cleaned medium 11 of resolution element 20.Yet, but fixed separation element 20 moves around simultaneously and is connected to the fixed head 21 of exhaust tube 22 and air inlet pipe 23.Adopt this mode, extract on the zone of air in the cleaning box 3 and the separating component 20 zone that compressed air is blown in the cleaning box 3 on the convertible separating component 20 out.
In the superincumbent description, in order to prevent that be cleaned medium 11 of resolution element 20 from stopping up, can move around resolution element 20 or be connected to exhaust tube 22 and the fixed head 21 of air inlet pipe 23, thus the zone that compressed air is blown in the cleaning box 3 extracted on the zone of air in the cleaning box 3 and the separating component 20 on the conversion separating component 20 out.Yet mobile off and on cleaning box 3 also is fine, thereby extracts on the zone of air in the cleaning box 3 and the separating component 20 zone that compressed air is blown in the cleaning box 3 on the conversion separating component 20 out.
