DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cleaning device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a plate-shaped portion of a cleaning object having the plate-shaped portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dishes such as grilled meat, barbecue, and Genghis Khan (hereinafter referred to as "grilled meat, etc.").
Tend to be more and more favored due to their taste and excitement. However, a metal plate, a metal net, and a metal pan (hereinafter, referred to as a metal plate) used for placing and heating food in a dish such as grilled meat.
The “metal plate or the like”) is significantly contaminated by liquids or drippings from foods such as meat and vegetables or by sticking of the foods. Various methods have conventionally been used for cleaning to remove such contamination from a metal plate or the like. For example, a cleaning member that exerts a cleaning effect by sliding it on a cleaning surface such as a sponge, a scourer, a brush, or the like is gripped by a hand or the like, and the cleaning member on which a detergent or the like is attached is slid on a metal plate or the like. (Hereinafter referred to as "manual method"). Such a manual method has been widely used because it can be easily performed without requiring a special device or the like.However, since the cleaning member is manually slid and cleaned, there is a limit to a cleaning effect and a cleaning amount of a metal plate or the like. is there. In particular, attempting to clean a metal plate or the like that is significantly contaminated by scorching of foodstuffs by a manual method requires a very difficult operation for a cleaner who performs the manual method and requires a long time.

Therefore, various cleaning apparatuses have been proposed or put into practical use in order to mechanize the cleaning of such metal plates and the like. For example, a cleaning member such as a brush is brought into sliding contact with a metal plate or the like while rotating (hereinafter, referred to as “brush method”).
Also, there is known a method in which a metal plate or the like is immersed in a cleaning tank filled with a cleaning solution, which is an aqueous solution of a detergent, and the cleaning tank is rotated (hereinafter, referred to as an “immersion method”). However, the brush method cannot wash both surfaces of a metal plate or the like at one time, and in order to wash both surfaces, it is necessary to perform the washing while turning the metal plate or the like upside down. There was a problem. And the immersion method is effective when the dirt on the metal plate or the like is easy to remove, but for dirt that is difficult to remove on the metal plate or the like by cooking such as grilled meat, it requires an extremely long immersion, There is a problem that dirt remains.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus capable of cleaning both sides at once and in a short time without turning over a metal plate or the like without turning over.

[0005]

A cleaning apparatus of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the apparatus") is a cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a plate-like portion of a cleaning object having a plate-like portion. A part has an upper surface formed by a first cleaning member, and the cleaning object is placed such that at least a part of one of both surfaces of the plate-shaped portion of the cleaning object contacts the upper surface, A mounting means that is rotated about a rotation axis oriented in a vertical direction, and abuts on at least a part of another of the two surfaces of the plate-shaped portion of the cleaning object mounted on the mounting means. Second
A cleaning device having a cleaning member having a cleaning member, and a deceleration device for reducing the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the mounting device to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting device. It is.

Here, the "plate-shaped portion" of the "washed material having a plate-shaped portion" referred to in the present apparatus may be a surface (including both a flat surface and a curved surface, and may be constituted by both a flat surface and a curved surface). ), And examples thereof include a disk-shaped part and a part that forms a part of a spherical surface. Then, an opening may be formed in a portion other than the “plate-shaped portion” or the “plate-shaped portion” of the cleaning object, and for example, a net-shaped material may be used. Further, the cleaning object may be composed of only the “plate-shaped portion” or may have a portion other than the “plate-shaped portion”. The thing to be washed may be any as long as it has a plate-like portion as described above, and is not particularly limited. For example, dishes such as grilled meat, barbecue, and Genghis Khan (foods such as grilled meat). , A metal plate, a metal net, and a metal pan (metal plate or the like) used for placing and heating food can be exemplified.

[0007] The present apparatus is provided with a mounting means, another surface cleaning means, and a deceleration means as described below. The mounting means has an upper surface at least partially formed by the first cleaning member, and the cleaning means is configured such that at least a part of one of both surfaces of the plate-shaped portion of the cleaning object contacts the upper surface. An object is placed and rotated about a vertical axis of rotation. The "first cleaning member" referred to in the present apparatus is a sponge, scourer,
A material that exerts a cleaning effect (including a polishing effect) by sliding on a cleaning surface such as a brush, a cloth, or an abrasive. And, when the rotation axis is oriented in the “vertical direction”, the cleaning object is placed such that at least a part of one of the two surfaces of the plate-like portion of the cleaning object is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting means. This means that the rotation axis is vertically oriented to the extent that the mounting means can be rotated while maintaining the state, and the rotation axis needs to be oriented substantially vertically as long as the state can be maintained. Is not necessarily. However, in order to stably maintain the state and to operate the present apparatus stably and to clean the one surface of the object to be washed well, it is preferable that the rotation axis is close to the vertical direction, and the rotation axis is The angle formed with respect to the vertical direction (meaning the angle formed by the rotation axis and the vertical direction, which is between 0 ° and 90 °) is preferably small, and is not particularly limited, but is usually limited. ,
It is preferably 40 degrees or less, more preferably 30 degrees or less, and most preferably 20 degrees or less (of course, the angle is 0 degree or more).

The other surface cleaning means has a second cleaning member which is in contact with at least a part of the other surface of the both surfaces of the plate portion of the cleaning object placed on the mounting means. The "second cleaning member" in the present invention refers to a material that exerts a cleaning effect (including a polishing effect) by sliding on a cleaning surface such as a sponge, scourer, brush, cloth, abrasive, or the like. Say. The second cleaning member is the one of the two surfaces of the plate portion of the cleaning object placed such that at least a part of the one of the two surfaces of the plate portion is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting means. Abuts at least a part of the other surface opposite to the above.

The speed reduction means reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the mounting means to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting means.
As used herein, "reducing the rotation speed of the cleaning object to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting means" means that the rotation speed of the cleaning object is made lower than the rotation speed of the mounting means. If the speed is set to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting means, the rotation speed of the cleaning object may be absolutely any value and is not particularly limited. Accordingly, the rotation speed of the cleaning object may be 80%, 50%, 30%, or the like of the rotation speed of the mounting means, or the rotation speed of the cleaning object may be 0 (that is, the rotation of the cleaning object is absolutely stopped). )). However, as will be described later, the deceleration unit reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the placement unit to be lower than the rotation speed of the placement unit, so that the first cleaning member existing on the upper surface of the placement unit. Slides on the one surface of the plate-like portion to clean the one surface, and in order to enhance the cleaning effect on the one surface, the speed reduction means is provided with a rotation of the cleaning object placed on the placement means. It is preferable that the rate at which the speed is reduced to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting means is greater. For this reason, the speed-reducing means is placed on the placing means with respect to the rotating speed of the placing means when the rotational speed of the cleaning object placed on the placing means is lower than the rotational speed of the placing means. The ratio of the rotation speed of the cleaning object (the rotation speed of the cleaning object / the rotation speed of the mounting means; a value of 0 or more and less than 1) is preferably 0.9 or less, and more preferably 0.7 or less. Or less, most preferably 0.5 or less (of course, 0 or more).

[0010] By using such an apparatus, the mounting means is rotated so that at least a part of one of both surfaces of the plate-like portion of the cleaning object is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting means. The placed washing object is rotated. Then, the second cleaning member of the other surface cleaning unit comes into contact with at least a part of the other surface of the two plate surfaces of the plate-shaped portion of the cleaning object placed and rotated on the mounting unit. The other surface is cleaned by the sliding of the second cleaning member. On the other hand, the speed reduction means reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the mounting means from the rotation speed of the mounting means, so that the first cleaning member present on the upper surface of the mounting means has the plate-shaped portion. By sliding on one surface, the one surface is cleaned. In this manner, both surfaces (the other surface and the one surface) of the plate portion of the cleaning object are cleaned. When both sides of the plate-like portion of the cleaning object are cleaned in this way, the timing at which the reduction unit reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the mounting unit to be lower than the rotation speed of the mounting unit is important. For example, when the speed reduction unit reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the mounting unit from the rotation speed of the mounting unit, the rotation speed of the cleaning object mounted on the mounting unit becomes zero. If the rotation of the cleaning object is not completely stopped (that is, the other surface is cleaned by sliding of the second cleaning member at this time), the speed reduction unit is mounted on the mounting unit. The rotation speed of the placed cleaning object may be constantly reduced from the rotation speed of the mounting means.

[0011] While the placing means is rotated around the rotation axis, and the cleaning object placed on the placing means makes one rotation, the two sides of the cleaning object placed on the placing means are rotated. The second cleaning member of the other surface cleaning means may be in sliding contact with substantially the entire surface of the other surface. By doing so, the second cleaning member of the other surface cleaning means is slid over substantially the whole of the other surface of the two surfaces of the cleaning object placed on the mounting means. Preferably, substantially the entire surface is cleaned by sliding of the second cleaning member (that is, substantially the entire other surface of the two surfaces of the cleaning object is cleaned and cleaned).

The rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the placing means is reduced by the speed reduction means from the rotation speed of the placing means, and the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the placing means is reduced. The first cleaning member of the mounting means is provided on substantially the entire one of the two surfaces of the cleaning object mounted on the mounting means while the mounting means makes one relative rotation. May be in sliding contact. By doing so, the first cleaning member of the mounting means is in sliding contact with substantially the entire surface of the one of the two surfaces of the cleaning object mounted on the mounting means. It is preferable that substantially the entire surface is cleaned by sliding of the first cleaning member (ie,
Substantially the entire surface of the one side of the cleaning object is cleaned and cleaned. ).

[0013] The other-side cleaning means arranges the second cleaning member in a rotary body shape about an axis substantially intersecting a straight line including the rotation axis, and the second cleaning member is arranged about the substantially intersecting axis. The member may be rotated. By doing so, the second cleaning member itself can be rotated, so that the sliding speed of the second cleaning member with respect to the other surface can be increased, or the second cleaning member can be removed from the other surface and adhered to the second cleaning member. It is possible to expect a self-cleaning action of the second cleaning member, such as by removing the contaminated soil by the rotation of the second cleaning member itself (reducing the dirt on the second cleaning member sliding on the other surface). The other surface can be effectively cleaned.

[0014] The speed reduction means may have a friction member which comes into contact with or slides on the cleaning object. The deceleration means may be any as long as it reduces the rotation speed of the cleaning object placed on the placement means than the rotation speed of the placement means, but is not particularly limited, For example, one that engages with or fits into the cleaning object and stops the rotation of the cleaning object (for example, an engagement cord that engages with an engagement protrusion formed at a portion of the cleaning material that is away from the rotation shaft, And a fitting rod fitted into a fitting hole formed in a portion of the cleaning object away from the rotation shaft, and a friction member that abuts or slides on the cleaning object. In particular, if a friction member that abuts or slides on the cleaning object is used as the deceleration means, by adjusting the force of bringing the friction member into contact with or sliding on the cleaning object, the cleaning object placed on the mounting means is adjusted. The extent to which the rotation speed is reduced can be freely adjusted, and the speed reduction means can be configured simply and robustly.

[0015] The placement means may be carried by an elastic member. The other one of the two surfaces of the cleaning object placed on the mounting means is abutted and slid by the second cleaning member of the other surface cleaning means to be cleaned, and the one of the two surfaces is the one of the mounting means. The first cleaning member present on the upper surface slides and is cleaned. In order to clean the one surface and the other surface well, it is preferable to maintain the contact between the other surface and the second cleaning member and the contact between the one surface and the first cleaning member. Preferably, the mounting means is supported by an elastic member, and the mounting means on which the cleaning object is mounted is urged by the elastic member. With this configuration, the cleaning object is sandwiched between the first cleaning member and the second cleaning member that are urged toward the second cleaning member, so that the other surface and the second cleaning member come into contact with each other. In addition, the contact between the one surface and the first cleaning member can be reliably maintained.

[0016] The upper surface of the mounting means may form a part of a rotation surface around the rotation axis. By doing so, the cleaning object can be placed on the upper surface of the mounting means irrespective of the rotation position of the mounting means around the rotation axis, so that the cleaning object can be quickly and reliably placed on the upper surface of the mounting means. Can be mounted. The “rotational surface around the rotation axis” is defined as a curve generated when a curve (including a straight line) belonging to a plane to which the rotation axis belongs is rotated around a straight line including the rotation axis. The trajectory refers to, for example, a circle substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis, a sphere (both the outer surface and the inner surface) whose diameter is included in a straight line including the rotation axis, and the like.

Inside the lower cover 13, a pair of support members 23 are arranged so that their longitudinal directions are substantially parallel to each other and substantially horizontal.
a, 23b (both are formed of an equilateral angle steel made of stainless steel) are attached so as to bridge a pair of substantially parallel inner side surfaces among the inner side surfaces of the lower cover 13. Then, the pair of support members 23a, 23b
The mounting brush rotation motor 25 is mounted so that the center axis of the rotation shaft thereof is directed substantially vertically upward. The rotating shaft of the mounting brush rotating motor 25 is provided on the lower surface of the cylindrical rotating block 27 (which is arranged so that the central axis of the rotating shaft and the central axis of the cylinder are substantially included in the same straight line). The bottom surface of the cylinder is attached, and the rotation block 27 rotates when the mounting brush rotation motor 25 rotates. Further, on the upper surface of the rotary block 27, a disk-shaped rotary plate 29 having a substantially circular main surface (the center axis of the rotating shaft of the mounting brush rotating motor 25 and the center of the substantially circular shape substantially exist on the same straight line. , Arranged such that the main surface is substantially perpendicular to the same straight line.).

The rotary plate 29 is placed near the position (two locations) where the two substantially circular, substantially orthogonal diameters formed by the main surface of the rotary plate 29 intersect with the substantially circular circumference. Are formed with four bolt holes (not shown) penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface. Connection bolts 33 (four in total) are respectively fitted in the four bolt holes (not shown) (the head of the connection bolt 33 cannot pass through the bolt holes (not shown), The shaft of the connecting bolt 33 is loosely fitted in the bolt hole (not shown).) On the other hand, the distal end (the end in the direction opposite to the bolt head) of the shaft portion of the connection bolt 33 has a bolt hole (not shown) formed in the mounting brush holding plate 31 having substantially the same shape as the rotating plate 29. ) Through (free fit)
A nut (which cannot pass through a bolt hole formed in the mounting brush holding plate 31) is screwed into the tip of the shaft portion. The bolt holes formed in the mounting brush holding plate 31 are formed at the same positions as the bolt holes formed in the rotating plate 29.

The rotating plate 29 and the mounting brush holding plate 3
1, a coil spring 35 (compression spring) is interposed so as to be fitted to each shaft portion of the connection bolt 33,
The coil spring 35 urges the mounting brush holding plate 31 upward with respect to the rotary plate 29 (the coil spring 35 is
The connecting bolt 33 is reduced by limiting the distance between the rotating plate 29 and the mounting brush holding plate 31. ). As a result, the mounting brush holding plate 31 is supported by a coil spring 35 (compression spring) as an elastic member, and if a downward force is applied to the mounting brush holding plate 31, the coil spring 35
The (compression spring) contracts and the placement brush holding plate 31 descends, and when the force is removed, the coil spring 35 (compression spring) extends and the placement brush holding plate 31 rises upward. Note that the center axis of the rotating shaft of the mounting brush rotation motor 25 and the substantially circular center formed by the main surface of the mounting brush holding plate 31 are substantially on the same straight line, and the mounting is performed on the same straight line. The main surface of the placement brush holding plate 31 is made substantially vertical.

Further, a mounting brush 41 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush holding plate 31. The mounting brush 41 is a so-called metal brush formed by bundling thin stainless steel wires, and is attached with the tip of the wires facing upward. The placement brush 41 is viewed from above along the same straight line to which the center axis of the rotating shaft of the placement brush rotation motor 25 and the substantially circular center formed by the main surface of the placement brush holding plate 31 belong. That is, FIGS. 1 and 4), a belt-like shape (that is, a shape similar to the letter “X”) is formed along two diameters of the substantially circular and orthogonal to each other formed by the main surface of the mounting brush holding plate 31. It is arranged.
The upper surface of the mounting brush 41 has the same straight line (that is, the mounting axis) of the rotation shaft of the mounting brush rotation motor 25 and the substantially circular center formed by the main surface of the mounting brush holding plate 31. (Which is a straight line including the rotation axis of the placement brush 41) has a part of the outer surface of a sphere having a diameter included therein. No. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 is shaped so as to conform to the lower surface of the iron pan 101 of the barbecue to be cleaned by the apparatus 11 (here, iron). The lower surface of the pot 101 forms a part of the outer surface of the sphere.
The upper surface of the sphere substantially matches the radius of a sphere that partially forms the sphere. ).

In addition, both ends of a round bar-shaped shaft 53 having a substantially circular cross section along a straight line and in the longitudinal direction are supported by bearings 55a and 55b so that the shaft 53 is rotatable. The center axis of the shaft 53 substantially intersects a straight line including the rotation axis of the mounting brush 41 and is oriented substantially horizontally. Each of the bearings 55a, 55b has a shaft portion formed in a bolt penetration hole formed in a mounting member 57a, 57b (both formed of an equilateral angle steel made of stainless steel) attached to the outer surface of the upper cover 15. Are attached to the outer surface of the upper cover 15 via support bolts 59a and 59b into which loose fits are provided. And the support bolt 59
The coil springs 61a and 61b are externally fitted to the shaft portions of the mounting members 5a and 61b.
The bearings 55a, 55b are urged downward with respect to the bearings 7a, 57b.
In the state where 1 is placed and the upper cover 15 is closed, it becomes a tension spring. ). Thereby, the bearings 55a, 55
b, when the present apparatus 11 cleans the iron pot 101, downward force is applied by the coil springs 61a and 61b as elastic members, and if upward force is applied to the bearings 55a and 55b, the coil springs 61a and 61b are activated. Extend bearings 55a, 55
When b moves upward and the force is removed, the coil springs 61a and 61b contract and the bearings 55a and 55b move downward.

At the center of the shaft 53 in the longitudinal direction,
The roller brush 51 is non-rotatably mounted on the shaft 53 so as to be fitted on the shaft 53.
The roller brush 51 is a so-called metal brush formed by radially bundling thin stainless steel wires, and the wires are bundled so as to project substantially perpendicularly to the central axis of the shaft 53. Further, the outer surface of the roller brush 51 (the surface including the tip of the wire) has a shape of a rotating body (here, specifically, an axis substantially intersecting a straight line including the rotation axis of the mounting brush 41) of the shaft 53. Specifically, a circle having a radius r1 centered on a point on the center axis of the shaft 53 and located in a plane perpendicular to the center axis is considered, and a radius r2 (centered on the circumference of the circle) Where r2 <r
When considering the sphere of 1), of the donut-shaped shapes formed by the outer surface of the sphere when the center continuously moves on the entire circumference, the distance from the central axis is (r1-r2). This is the part which is not less than r3 (where (r1-r2) <r3 <r1). ) Is almost to be.
Here, the upper surface of the iron pan 101 forms a part of the outer surface of the sphere, and the radius of the sphere of which the upper surface of the iron pan 101 forms a part is substantially equal to the radius r2 described above. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The outer surface 1 is in good contact with the upper surface of the iron pan 101 along the upper surface.

On the other hand, a pulley 6 is attached to one end of the shaft 53.
3 is installed. A roller rotation motor 65 is mounted on the inner surface of the upper cover 15 so that the rotation axis is substantially parallel to the center axis of the shaft 53. A pulley 67 (see FIG. 1) is attached to the rotation shaft of the roller rotation motor 65.
A V-belt 69 is stretched between the V-belt 3 and the V-belt 3. Therefore, when the roller rotation motor 65 rotates, the roller brush 51 is rotated via the pulley 67, the V belt 69, the pulley 63, and the shaft 53. Here, the roller brush 51 constitutes a second cleaning member, and as described above, the outer surface of the roller brush 51 (the surface including the tip of the wire) is the center axis of the shaft 53 (the center axis is It is an axis that substantially intersects with a straight line that includes the rotation axis of the placement brush 41. In this case, the straight line and the central axis of the shaft 53 are substantially orthogonal.
, And the roller brush 51 (second cleaning member) is rotated about the central axis of the shaft 53.

Inside the upper cover 15, a shaft 53 is provided.
A sprinkling pipe 71 is provided so as to be substantially parallel to (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The water sprinkling pipe 71 is formed by a hollow pipe having one end closed, and the other end is connected via a valve 73 to a not-shown water heater (supplying hot water for washing). The iron pot 1 placed on the upper surface of the roller brush 51 and the placement brush 41 is attached to the watering pipe 71.
An ejection port (not shown) is provided so that the cleaning hot water is ejected from the inside of the water sprinkling pipe 71 toward 01. For this reason, when the valve 73 is opened and hot water is supplied to the other end of the water sprinkling pipe 71 from a water heater (not shown), the roller brush 51 (in the direction of arrow W1 in FIG. 2) and the mounting brush 41
The cleaning hot water is jetted toward the iron pot 101 (in the direction of the arrow W2 in FIG. 2) placed on the upper surface of. This allows
The hot water sprayed on the iron pan 101 effectively works to remove dirt attached to the iron pan 101, and the hot water sprayed on the roller brush 51 cleans the roller brush 51 itself and adheres to the iron pan 101. It works effectively to remove dirt.

Further, on the outer surface of the front surface of the upper cover 15 (the front direction is indicated by an arrow F in FIGS. 1 and 2), a brake mount 81 (made of stainless steel unequal angle iron) is formed. .) Is attached.
A brake body 83 is mounted on the upper surface of the brake mount 81. A lever 87 is attached to the brake main body 83 so as to be rotatable around a rotary shaft 85. By gripping the lever 87 and rotating the lever 87 about the rotation shaft 85, the brake rod 89 can be moved forward and backward with respect to the iron pan 101 mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41. That is, in FIG. 2, when the lever 87 is rotated in the direction of the arrow L2, the brake rod 89 is moved in the direction of the arrow B2 (the direction in which the lever 87 advances to the iron pan 101 placed on the upper surface of the placing brush 41), and the lever 87 is moved When the brake rod 89 is rotated in the direction of arrow L1, the brake rod 89 is moved in the direction of arrow B1 (the mounting brush 41).
(In the direction of retreating from the iron pot 101 placed on the upper surface of the pan). Then, when the lever 87 is rotated in the direction of arrow L2, the brake rod 89 advances in the direction of arrow B2 (the direction in which the iron rod 101 is placed on the upper surface of the placing brush 41), and the tip of the brake rod 89 is placed on the placing brush. 41
Is brought into contact with an iron pot 101 placed on the upper surface of the iron pan 101. Note that the vicinity of the tip of the brake rod 89 is
The guide is positioned and guided by the sleeve 84 attached to the support members 23a and 23b through the shaft (the vicinity of the tip of the brake rod 89 penetrates through the inside of the sleeve 84 freely). Even if it comes into contact with the rotating iron pan 101 placed on the upper surface of the placing brush 41, no problem such as twisting occurs.

In addition, around the rotation of the mounting brush 41, an iron pan 10 mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 and rotating.
Holding rollers 91a, 91b, and 91c for holding 1 on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 are provided. Each of the holding rollers 91a, 91b, and 91c is rotatably supported around a rotation axis substantially parallel to a straight line including the rotation axis of the mounting brush 41 (in FIG. 3, a portion supporting the holding roller). When the rotating iron pan 101 placed on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 tries to deviate from the upper surface of the mounting brush 41, the edges of the iron pan 101 are held by the holding rollers 91a, 91b, 91c prevents the iron pan 101 from deviating from the upper surface of the placing brush 41,
01 is held on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41. Note that the holding rollers 91a, 91b, and 91c are not disposed on the brake rod 89 side of the circumference of the rotation of the mounting brush 41, but this is an iron pan that is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 and rotates. When 101 tries to deviate from the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 to the brake rod 89 side, the iron pan 101 deviates from the upper surface of the mounting brush 41 by the edge of the iron pan 101 abutting on the tip of the brake rod 89. This is because it is not necessary to dispose the holding roller on the brake rod 89 side around the rotation of the mounting brush 41 because the rotation is prevented.

Further, the apparatus 11 is provided with a switch 93 for stopping the roller rotation motor 65. The switch 93 is interlocked so as to be intermittently turned by the rotation of the lever 87.
7 is turned in the direction of arrow L2, and when the tip of the brake rod 89 comes into contact with the iron pan 101 mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41, the power supply of the roller rotation motor 65 is cut off.
Also, the lever 87 is rotated in the direction of the arrow L1 to move the brake rod 8
9 is an iron pot 10 placed on the upper surface of the loading brush 41
The power supply of the roller rotation motor 65 is connected when it does not come into contact with 1.

The apparatus 11 is provided with a switch 95 for stopping the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25. The switch 95 detects that the upper cover 15 has been opened, and
And the power supply to the mounting brush rotation motor 25 is cut off, and when the upper cover 15 is closed, the power supply to the roller rotation motor 65 and the power supply to the mounting brush rotation motor 25 are connected. Since it is dangerous to operate (rotate) with the upper cover 15 opened, this configuration is adopted as a safety measure. Note that this device 11
The power switch (not shown) is mounted on the whole, and if the power switch is not turned on, the power is not turned on to the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25.

A funnel member 96 is attached to the lower inner surface of the lower cover 13 for collecting washing water spouted from the sprinkler tube 71 and dirt dropped from the iron pot 101. Wash water and dirt collected by the funnel member 96
A sewage tank 97 formed in a drawer shape at the bottom of the lower cover 13
And discharged from the drain 98. In addition, the wastewater tank 97 is formed in a drawer shape because large dirt or the like may be accumulated in the wastewater tank 97 without being discharged from the drain port 98. Therefore, the accumulated dirt is easily removed from the wastewater tank 97. This is to make it possible.

Finally, a brief description will be given of a method of cleaning the barbecue iron pan 101 as a cleaning object using the present apparatus 11. First, with the upper cover 15 opened and the lever 87 rotated in the direction of arrow L1, the device 11
The power switch (not shown) is turned on (the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25 do not rotate by the switch 95).

Next, the iron pan 101 of the barbecue is placed on the upper surface of the placing brush 41. Then, the valve 73 is opened to make a state in which the washing hot water is spouted from the water sprinkling pipe 71.
Thereafter, when the upper cover 15 is closed, power is supplied to the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25, and the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25 start rotating. By the rotation of these two, the placing brush 41
When the iron pan 101 placed on the upper surface of the iron pan 101 is rotated, the upper surface of the iron pan 101 contacts the rotating roller brush 51. The contact of the upper surface of the iron pan 101 with the roller brush 51 is substantially only at the BB cross-section shown in FIG. 3, but the iron pan 1 placed on the upper surface by the rotation of the mounting brush 41
Since 01 is rotated, almost the entire upper surface of the iron pan 101 is evenly brought into contact with the roller brush 51 to be cleaned. At this time, since warm water for cleaning is jetted toward the roller brush 51 and the iron pot 101, the dirt attached to the iron pot 101 can be effectively cleaned while removing the dirt from the roller brush 51 itself.

When it is determined that the cleaning of the upper surface of the iron pan 101 has been completed, the lever 87 is rotated in the direction of arrow L2 in FIG. 2 so that the tip of the brake rod 89 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting brush 41. It is brought into contact with the iron pan 101. As a result, the roller rotation motor 65 stops (by the switch 93),
The rotation of the roller brush 51 stops. On the other hand, the iron pan 101 with which the tip of the brake rod 89 abuts has a lower rotation speed than the rotation of the mounting brush 41 against the rotation of the placing brush 41 (including that the rotation of the iron pan 101 is completely stopped). ), Whereby the mounting brush 41 slides on the lower surface of the iron pan 101. When the mounting brush 41 slides on the lower surface of the iron pan 101, the lower surface of the iron pan 101 is cleaned. In addition, since the mounting brush 41 is arranged in two strips (a shape similar to the letter “X”) (see FIG. 4), the mounting brush 41 is mounted only on a part of the lower surface of the iron pan 101 as it is. Although the brush 41 is not in contact with the iron pot 101 placed on the placing brush 41, the placing brush 41
While rotating, the iron pan 101 placed on the placement brush 41
The mounting brush 41 is in sliding contact with substantially the entire lower surface (the one of the two surfaces of the cleaning object).

When it is determined that the cleaning of the lower surface of the iron pan 101 is also completed, the upper cover 15 is opened (the roller rotation motor 65 and the placement brush rotation motor 25 are stopped by the switch 95), and the lever 87 is further moved by the arrow. The iron pot 101 placed on the placement brush 41 is taken out by rotating in the L1 direction. In this way, the present apparatus 11 cleans both sides of the plate-shaped portion of the iron pot 101 which is a cleaning object having the plate-shaped portion as described later. Thereafter, if another iron pot is to be continuously washed, the iron pot is placed on the upper surface of the placement brush 41 again, and the above operation is repeated. If the other iron pots are not to be subsequently cleaned, the power switch (not shown) of the entire apparatus 11 is turned off, the upper cover 15 is closed, and the operation is completed.
