Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool and a cleaning method, and more particularly to a cleaning tool and a cleaning method for cleaning a plurality of arranged pipes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various techniques for cleaning an object to be cleaned have been proposed. For example, when cleaning a plurality of pipes 5 arranged on the upper surface of the pipe shelf 10 shown in FIG. 3 and on which the storage objects 4 are placed, as shown in FIG.
Is reciprocated in the extending direction 22 of the pipe 5, or as shown in FIG.
As described above, the cleaning wiper 21 was reciprocated in the direction 23 perpendicular to the extending direction of the pipe 5.

Alternatively, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-197771 discloses a cleaning member for a scorotron charger as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, a sponge 26 is provided on the cleaning member body 25, and a cut 27 is formed at the tip of the sponge 26. With this cleaning member, the corona wire can be inserted into the cut 27 and sandwiched from both sides to simultaneously clean the corona wire and the grid.

[0004]

However, in the prior art shown in FIG. 3, only the upper surface of the object to be cleaned such as a pipe can be sufficiently cleaned, and the side surface and the lower surface of the object to be cleaned are sufficiently cleaned. I can't. Further, it is a troublesome work to roll the cleaning wiper and clean the objects to be cleaned such as pipes one by one.

On the other hand, in the prior art shown in FIG. 4, only the side surface of the object to be cleaned such as a wire can be sufficiently cleaned, and the upper surface and the lower surface of the object to be cleaned cannot be sufficiently cleaned.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an effective cleaning tool which can efficiently and sufficiently clean the entire surface of an object to be cleaned such as a pipe.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an effective cleaning method capable of efficiently and sufficiently cleaning the entire surface of an object to be cleaned such as a pipe.

[0008]

A feature of the present invention resides in a cleaning tool having a through hole for wrapping an object to be cleaned and a cut line reaching the through hole.

Here, it is preferable that the through hole and the cut line are formed in the cleaning sponge.

Further, a plurality of the through holes may be arranged in one direction and reach the respective through holes to form the cut.

Also in this case, it is preferable that the plurality of through holes are formed in the cleaning sponge, and the plurality of cuts are arranged on one surface of the cleaning sponge.

Another feature of the present invention is a cleaning method using any of the cleaning tools described above.

Here, the object to be cleaned may have a shape extending in the extending direction of the through hole. Moreover, it is preferable to simultaneously clean a plurality of the objects to be cleaned.

Specifically, the object to be cleaned may be a pipe arranged on the upper surface of a pipe shelf. In this case, it is preferable to simultaneously clean the plurality of pipes.

Further, a plurality of stages of the pipe shelves are provided on the pole, and the pipes of the respective pipe shelves can be cleaned.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (A) is a perspective view showing a cleaning tool of the embodiment,
FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing a cleaning method according to the embodiment, and FIG.
FIG. 1C is a sectional view showing the cleaning tool in the state of FIG.

FIG. 2 (A) is a perspective view showing the entire shelf assembly to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 (B) is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of FIG. 2 (A). Is.

First, referring to FIG. 2A, three pole shelves 10 are attached to four individual poles 11 made of aluminum and a solid member 12 is provided.
It is fixed by. By vertically positioning the fixing member on the pole, the vertical position of each pipe shelf can be adjusted.

Next, a portion 10 of the shelf assembly shown in FIG.
2 is an enlarged view of 0, the pipe shelf 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a fixing member 12, a first support member 13 made of an aluminum pipe welded to the fixing member, a second support member 14 made of an aluminum pipe welded to the fixing member, and first and second Third support member 1 made of a corrugated aluminum pipe welded to the second support member 1
5 and a large number of pipes 5 welded to the first support member and arranged at a predetermined equal interval from each other.

In this embodiment, the pipe 5 is an aluminum pipe having an outer diameter of 3 mm, and the pipe 5 is to be effectively cleaned.

Next, referring to FIG. 1A, a plurality of (4 in the figure) through holes 2 are arranged in the vicinity of the center of the cleaning sponge 1 in the thickness direction with the arrangement pitch of the pipes 5 being the same. Are arranged. The diameter of the through hole 2 is 4 mm, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the pipe 5 to be cleaned. Then, a cut 3 reaching each through hole 2 is formed at a right angle from one surface of the sponge 1.

Next, referring to FIG. 1B, the storage object 4
It shows a state in which a plurality of pipes 5 for arranging are washed. The cleaning sponge 1 containing a cleaning liquid such as water is inserted into the pipe 5 through the cut 3, the pipes 5 are positioned in the respective through holes 2, and the cleaning sponge 1 is reciprocated in the extending direction 7 of the pipe 5. Move 7 to clean the pipe 5.

By such cleaning, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), the pipe 5 is wrapped by the through hole 2, and the entire circumference of the pipe 5 except the cut direction is in the through hole 2 of the sponge. Since they face each other, the entire circumference of the pipe can be effectively cleaned.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cleaning sponge is provided with the through hole and the pipe is inserted therein for cleaning, it is possible to easily clean the entire circumference of the pipe. Become.
