Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaner for effectively washing a plurality of brushes or combs.SOLUTION: A plurality of brushes 1 or combs are arranged and supported at regular intervals by an arrangement support device 7. A group 15 of brushes relatively move reciprocally between the arrangement support devices provided at the regular intervals. The reciprocal movement is performed in the same direction relative to bristles 3 or teeth 5 constituting the brushes 1 or combs while in contact with them. Cleaning liquid 40 is supplied from above and drained through a liquid drainage port. The arrangement support device 7 is attachable/removable to and from the inside of an airtight case 11 of the device in the state that the plurality of brushes 1 or combs are arranged and supported. Thus, the plurality of brushes 1 or combs are effectively cleaned. Further, the plurality of brushes 1 or combs cleaned are carried in such a state to a site where they are used.

Description

However, in Patent Document 1, there is only one brush that can be cleaned, and a plurality of brushes cannot be cleaned. Moreover, the said patent document 2 cannot wash a brush and a comb. In particular, the brushes and combs used in the hairdressing salon adhere to the chemicals used in the treatment and cannot be cleaned effectively.
In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device that effectively cleans a plurality of brushes or combs.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the first invention arranges a plurality of brushes or combs at equal intervals, and the directions of the hairs or teeth constituting the brushes or combs are the same, and the direction orthogonal to this direction An array support that performs the array, a brush group that reciprocates relative to the array support between the plurality of intervals, and the array support or the brush group that performs the relative reciprocation. A reciprocating mechanism for reciprocating, a liquid supply port for supplying a cleaning liquid to the arranged brushes or combs and the brush group from above, a liquid discharge port for discharging the supplied cleaning liquid, and the array support tool, A brush comb washer having a brush group, a reciprocating mechanism, a liquid supply port, and a sealed case having a liquid discharge port therein.

  In the second invention, the array support tool further includes a plurality of support legs that extend downward and are provided at equal intervals. The support legs allow the brushes or combs to have the same direction of hair or teeth. A brush comb washer that is detachably provided inside the sealed case in a state where the array is supported, and the brush group reciprocates between the support legs. .

  According to the first or second invention, a plurality of brushes or combs are arranged and supported at equal intervals by the arrangement support tool. The brush group relatively reciprocates between the plurality of brushes or combs at equal intervals. This reciprocation is performed in contact with the hair or tooth in the same direction as the direction of the hair or tooth constituting the brush or comb. The cleaning liquid is supplied from above and discharged from the liquid discharge port. Therefore, a plurality of brushes or combs can be effectively cleaned.

  Furthermore, according to the second invention, the arrangement support tool can be attached to and detached from the inside of the sealed case of the apparatus in a state where a plurality of brushes or combs are arranged and supported, and the plurality of brushes or combs before and after cleaning can be easily handled. In particular, a plurality of brushes or combs after washing can be carried directly to the site where they are used.

(A) is a principal part enlarged view of the reciprocating mechanism which reciprocates the brush group of FIG. 3, (B) is an enlarged view explaining the operation | movement of (A). It is an expansion perspective view showing the brush of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the function of the arrangement | sequence support tool which arranges the brush or comb of FIG.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the brush 1 to be cleaned in this embodiment has a function of serving as both a brush and a comb. The hair 3 constituting the brush and the teeth 5 constituting the comb are back to back. It is formed.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the plurality of brushes 1 are arranged at equal intervals by the arrangement support tool 7. The direction of the bristles 3 or the teeth 5 constituting the brush 1 is the same vertical direction, and the bristles 3 or teeth 5 are arranged in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.

  The array support 7 has a plurality of support legs 9 that extend downward and are provided at equal intervals. By the support legs 9, the directions of the hairs 3 or the teeth 5 of the brush 1 are alternately arranged and supported every other brush 1 in the upward or downward direction. The array support 7 is detachably provided in the sealed case 11 that is the casing of the cleaning device in a state where the array support is performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the front surface of the sealed case 11 has a shape of a drawer portion 13 having no bottom, and the array support 7 is detachably supported by the drawer portion 13.
Between a plurality of intervals of the brush 1, the brush group 15 reciprocates up and down with respect to the arrangement support 7, that is, with respect to the brush 1. The brush group 15 reciprocates between the brush 1 and the brush 1 by reciprocating between the support legs 9 of the array support 7. One brush 17 is arranged at a position in contact with the adjacent brush 1 and the brush 1.
As shown in FIG. 7, the brush bristles 19 of the brush 17 have irregular lengths, warpage, and irregular warping directions. In the figure, only a part of the bristle 19 is represented.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the reciprocation of the brush group 15 is performed by a reciprocation mechanism 21. Each brush 17 rotates while reciprocating. The reciprocating mechanism 21 rotatably supports the brush group 15 on a reciprocating frame 23. Each brush 17 has a gear 25 at an end, and adjacent gears 25 mesh with each other. The drive gear 27 and the driven gear 28 mesh with both ends of the gear train formed in this way (FIG. 6). A motor 29 is directly connected to the drive gear 27 (FIG. 4). An external power source is connected to the motor 29 by a water-resistant cable 31. The drive gear 27 and the driven gear mesh with the guide gear 33 via the pinion gear 32 provided coaxially (FIG. 6A). The guide gear 33 is fixed to the housing side of the washer, and two rack gears 35 are reciprocated, and each end is connected by a U-shaped rack gear 37, thus forming a loop shape. By adopting the loop shape, the reciprocating motion is performed along the loop shape while the rotation direction of the drive gear 27 remains the same (FIG. 6B). Each brush 17 rotates while reciprocating.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a liquid supply port 39 is provided above the inside of the sealed case 11 and a supply pipe 41 is connected to supply the cleaning liquid 40 to the arranged brushes 1 and the brush group 15 from above. To do. A liquid discharge port 42 is provided at the bottom inside the sealed case 11 to discharge the cleaning liquid 40 that has been cleaned.
The brush group 15, the reciprocating mechanism 21, the liquid supply port 39, and the liquid discharge port 42 are provided inside the sealed case 11.

"Effect of the embodiment"
According to the above embodiment, the plurality of brushes 1 are arrayed and supported by the array support tool 7 at equal intervals. The brush group 15 reciprocates up and down 16 between the equal intervals of the plurality of brushes 1. The reciprocating motion of the brush 17 is performed in the same direction as the direction of the bristles 3 or teeth 5 of the brush 1 and is performed while rotating 18 in contact with the bristles 3 or teeth 5. The cleaning liquid 40 is supplied from above and discharged from the liquid discharge port. Therefore, the plurality of brushes 1 can be effectively cleaned.

  Furthermore, the arrangement support tool 7 can be attached to and detached from the inside of the sealed case 11 of the apparatus in a state where the plurality of brushes 1 are arranged and supported, so that the plurality of brushes 1 or combs can be easily handled before and after the cleaning. In particular, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of brushes 1 after cleaning can be carried to the site where they are used as they are.
