TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cup washing machine for washing cylindrical tableware such as cups and glasses (hereinafter referred to as "cups"), and more specifically, it is possible to wash the inner and outer surfaces of cups and glasses at the same time. The present invention relates to a cup washing machine configured as follows.

In restaurants, etc., alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine are generally served, and keeping the cups and glasses that are served at that time clean is one of the important factors to maintain the dignity of the store. It is

As a method for cleaning such cups and glasses, there are a method of washing by hand and a method of using a washing machine that jets high-temperature water together with the dishes to wash them, but the method of washing by hand It takes time and sometimes you can't reach the bottom. On the other hand, when using a washing machine that jets high-temperature water for washing, compared to washing with sponges or brushes, the removal of dirt is inferior and it takes longer.

On the other hand, there has been proposed a cup washing machine which is specialized for cups and wash the cups by pressing a sponge or a brush against the cups.

For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses an inner rotating brush 61 for cleaning the inner surface of cups, a plurality of outer rotating brushes 62 for cleaning the outer surface of the cup, and these outer rotating brushes, as shown in FIG. A cup washer provided with a cover 63 for preventing splashing of water from the cup 62 has been proposed.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 54-168062

However, such a structure has the following problems.

That is, since the cup washing machine of Patent Document 1 is designed to wash the outer surface of the cups with a plurality of outer rotating brushes 62 outside the cups, the portions that do not come into contact with the outer rotating brushes 62 are Cannot be washed. Therefore, the cup must be washed while being rotated by hand.

Moreover, in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to provide a pulley 64 or the like for rotating the plurality of outer rotating brushes 62, which complicates the mechanism and increases the cost.

Furthermore, in the structure of Patent Document 1, since the cylindrical cover 63 is provided on the outside with a small gap from the outer rotating brush 62, the dimension up to the cover 63 becomes large, and the work space becomes large. In a narrow kitchen, such a device becomes a hindrance.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a cup that can be uniformly washed on the outer surface of the cup, has a compact structure, and can be washed at a low cost. The purpose is to provide a similar washing machine.

That is, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cup washing machine for washing cups such as cups and glasses, comprising: an inner cleaning member that contacts the inner surface of the cup; and a rotation mechanism that rotates the inner cleaning member. an outer cleaning member provided in a cylindrical shape around the rotation center of the inner cleaning member and in contact with the outer surface of the cup, and an outer cleaning member provided outside the outer cleaning member to prevent water from scattering due to the rotation. A scattering prevention cover is provided.

Further, in such an invention, the outer cleaning member is rotated integrally with the inner cleaning member by the rotating mechanism.

With this configuration, the outer surface of the cups can be cleaned more by rotating the outer cleaning member along the outer peripheral direction of the cups, and the rotation speed is the same as that of the inner cleaning member. , the cleaning condition of the inner surface and the outer surface can be the same.

Alternatively, the outer cleaning member may be provided non-rotatably.

With this configuration, when the cups are inserted or pulled out, the outer surface of the cups can be washed vertically by pressing the outer cleaning member against the outer surface of the cups.

Further, the outer cleaning member is provided so as to be in contact with the scattering prevention cover, and is bent toward the center from the circumferential end of the outer cleaning member at the circumferential end of the scattering prevention cover, A water receiving portion is provided to prevent splashing of water from the outer cleaning member.

According to this structure, since the outer cleaning member is inscribed in the anti-scattering cover, water is not splashed from the outer cleaning member. Since it is provided, the water dripping from there will not scatter to the outside.

Also, the scattering prevention cover is provided with a slit portion for inserting a handle of a cup or the like.

With this configuration, even tableware such as a beer mug with a handle can be cleaned by inserting or pulling out the beer mug.
