That is, a blower fan 75 that rotates around the vertical axis is arranged below the mat track, and the casing 76 surrounds the blower fan 75, and is disposed on the upper wall 77 of the casing 76 and between the lower holding rollers 78. A plurality of ejection nozzles 74 are protruded toward the position.

More specifically, the ejection nozzle 74 has a lower opening end portion connected to the casing 76, and is formed in an upwardly V-shaped cross section upward and has a narrower air ejection hole. The film-like air is blown upward from 73. The upper opening end of the ejection nozzle 74 is open in a small V-shaped cross section. In the present embodiment, a case is illustrated in which two blowers 75, 75 are provided inside the two casings 76, 76, respectively.

Next, the operation of the mat washer of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, first, the back surface 13b
Are placed on the mounting plate 9 of the lifting platform 4 of the mat supply means 3, and the mounting plate 9 is moved up and down by the lifting drive mechanism 8. Is adjusted to a predetermined height. At this time, the upper and lower feed rollers 16, 17 are in an open state.

Thereafter, the vacuum nozzle 14 of the mat raising section 5 is swung downward, and the suction pad 14a is moved to the uppermost surface of the mat.
12 is pressed against the downstream end and evacuated to adsorb. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when the vacuum nozzle 14 is swung upward, and the suctioned uppermost mat M is turned up by one sheet, the lower feeding roller 17 is swung upward to move the upper feeding roller M upward. In cooperation with 16, the end of the mat M is clamped.

Thereafter, when the evacuation of the mat raising section 5 is stopped and the mat M is detached from the vacuum nozzle 14,
As the gears 20 rotate in conjunction with each other, the upper and lower feed rollers 16 and 17 rotate, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 (a) and (b), the mat M is transferred to the dust removing section 22 of the cleaning means 1 on the downstream side. Is sent.

In the dust removing section 22, the upper hitting roller unit bodies G, G and the lower hitting roller unit bodies G, G are rotated at a rotation angle relatively shifted by 90 ° and in the mat feeding direction. The hitting rollers 29 of the upper and lower hitting roller unit bodies G alternately hit the mat M sent to the downstream side from above and below. At this time, the upper and lower hitting roller unit bodies G rotate at a high rotation speed of 10 to 20 times / second, respectively.
The mat M is in a state where it is quickly oscillated up and down. In this way, the dust 79 attached to the hair on the surface 13a side of the mat M is dropped and collected by the dust collecting device 32. The moving direction A
Since the hitting roller unit bodies G, G adjacent to are arranged close to each other, the end portion of the mat M does not get caught in the hitting roller unit body G.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, when the mat M is sent from the dust removing section 22 to the pre-cleaning section 23, first,
The dust on the back surface 13b of the mat M is removed by the rotating rotating brush 37, and the back surface 13b is preliminarily cleaned by the cleaning water 33 from the upper spray nozzle body 34, and the cleaning water from the lower spray nozzle body 35 The surface 13a shown at 33 is pre-cleaned. The washing water 33 that has fallen below the box 26 is discharged to the outside through a piping flow path (not shown). Thereafter, the mat M passes between the upper and lower sponge rollers 38 and 39 which are in pressure contact with each other, thereby removing excess water on the front surface 13a and the back surface 13b.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (a) and (b), the mat M sent from the pre-cleaning section 23 to the fir-washing section 24 is movable with a fixed sponge roller 44 that has absorbed the detergent liquid 43. By passing between the sponge rollers 45, both surfaces thereof (particularly, the front surface 13a) are thoroughly washed. At this time,
A movable sponge roller 45 with a pressing roller 46 that reciprocates up and down
By pressing the movable sponge roller 45 intermittently.
When the mat M is intermittently pressed from above and below with the fixed sponge roller 44, the mat M is washed like rubbing. In the present embodiment, the up and down movements of the pressing rollers 46, 46 are the same, but when one is raised, the other may be lowered.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the mat M passes between the upper and lower suction sponge rollers 55, 55 which are in pressure contact with each other, so that the excess detergent adhering to the front surface 13a and the back surface 13b. The liquid 43 is removed. In addition, since the detergent liquid 43 has adhered much to the surface 13a side with hair, the detergent liquid 43
The detergent liquid 43 drips from the sponge roller 55 under which the 43 is saturated, and is received in the detergent liquid receiving tank 56 below.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the mat M is sent to the rinsing section 25, the surface 13a and the surface 13a are expressed by the washing water 33 jetted from the lower jet nozzle bodies 63, 63 and the upper jet nozzle body 64. The detergent liquid is washed off from the back surface 13b. The washing water 33 that has fallen below the box 26 is discharged to the outside through a piping flow path (not shown).

The mat M which has been washed by passing through the washing means 1 is then sent to the drying means 2 as shown in FIGS. First, in the dewatering section 67 of the drying means 2, the mat M passes between a plurality of pairs of upper and lower sponge rollers 69 and 70 which are in pressure contact with each other, so that the front surface 13a and the rear surface 13a are formed.
Excess water adhering to 13b is absorbed and removed. Also at this time, since a large amount of moisture is contained on the surface 13a side with hair, the lower sponge roller 70 saturated with moisture is squeezed by the receiving roller 71 to emit water droplets.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.
Is sent to the air ejection section 68, the film-like air ejected from the plurality of ejection nozzles 74 arranged side by side from the upstream side to the downstream side is sprayed on the surface 13a, and the remaining air adhering to the hairs is blown. Blow off moisture and dry. Then, the dried mat M is sent out from the communication hole 27 downstream of the box 26 to the outside. When the first mat M is sent from the mat supply unit 3 to the cleaning unit 1, the second and subsequent mats M are sequentially sent in the same manner as described above. At this time, the mounting plate 9 of the lifting platform 4 is raised by the thickness of one mat M to maintain the mat top surface 12 at a constant height (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the upper and lower striking roller unit bodies G and G of the dust removing section 22, the upper and lower sponge rollers 38 and 39 of the preliminary cleaning section 23, and the like.
The number of fixed / movable sponge rollers 44 and 45 of the fir washing section 24, the upper and lower sponge rollers 69 and 70 of the dehydrating section 67, the number of jet nozzles 74 of the air jet section 68, and the like can be freely increased or decreased.

[0046]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(According to the first aspect) The stained mat M can be automatically and efficiently cleaned, and a large amount of the mat M can be cleaned. Moreover, since the washed mat M is dried and finished, it can be immediately stored in a storage place or used. In addition, work environment and hygiene management for workers are improved.

By automating the feeding of the mat M (from claim 2), the process from mat supply to washing and drying is fully automatic, and unmanned operation is possible. (According to claim 3) dust can be effectively removed while having a simple structure.

According to the fourth aspect, the mat M is intermittently pressed by the fixed sponge roller 44 and the movable sponge roller 45 which have sucked the detergent liquid 43, so that the hair on the surface 13a side of the mat M is removed. It is possible to effectively remove dirt without damaging it by fir-washing.

According to the fifth aspect, the detergent liquid 43 can be used effectively. In other words, the used amount of the detergent liquid 43 can be reduced, and the waste liquid (used detergent liquid) can be reduced. (According to claim 6) The mat M can be dried uniformly and efficiently.
