Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention relates to a cleaning device that can simultaneously clean the inner and outer surfaces simply by inserting and pushing down a container such as a cup.

[Prior art] Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-100359 and No. 6
No. 3-147176 is known.

In the former device, the spiral operation guide is guided by a screw sheath, and the brush at the tip is rotated to perform cleaning.The latter uses the brush for cleaning the inner surface and the outer surface. The container is inserted concentrically between the brushes, the container is inserted between the brushes, and the container is rotated by manual operation to wash the container. In particular, in the latter case, it is necessary to rotate the container to wash it, and the cleaning operation is necessary. It was troublesome.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in the conventional apparatus, when cleaning a container such as a cup, it is necessary to rotate the container, and if this is to be performed automatically, a motor or the like is required. Although it requires power, it is mechanically complicated and expensive, but this invention removes dirt on the inner surface of the container, which was difficult to clean just by pushing down the container, and cleaning the outer surface of the container without using special power. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for cleaning deep-bottom containers such as cups which can be easily performed.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus for brush-cleaning containers such as cups, in which a plurality of suction plates are provided on an outer bottom surface. A guide rod is erected at the center bottom of the case, and a brush rod having an inner surface cleaning brush planted thereon is slidably fitted to the outer periphery of the guide rod. A spring is provided between the guide rod and the guide rod to urge the brush rod to always be at the upwardly protruding position, and a spiral groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the brush rod. The inner cleaning brush is rotated in accordance with the vertical movement of the brush rod by engaging a pin protruding from the rod, and a cylindrical portion having an outer cleaning brush disposed around the inner cleaning brush so as to surround the inner cleaning brush. To be rotatable, and vertically with the brush rod. A cleaning device comprising a gear that slides and rotates together with a brush rod, and a transmission mechanism that transmits rotation of the inner cleaning brush body to the outer cleaning brush.

[Operation] According to the invention having the above structure, a container such as a cup is inserted between the inner cleaning brush for cleaning the inner surface of the container disposed in the outer case and the outer cleaning brush for cleaning the outer surface. When the brush is pressed down, the brush rod descends while rotating along the spiral groove, and the inner cleaning brush rotates, and the outer cleaning brush also rotates simultaneously via the transmission mechanism,
Both inside and outside of the container are brush-washed at the same time.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer case formed of a synthetic resin. The outer case 1 has a plurality of suction plates 2 on its bottom surface so that the outer case 1 can be fixed to a floor surface. ing. Reference numeral 4 denotes a guide rod which is provided upright at a central bottom in the outer case 1 and is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and a spring 5 is provided inside. Reference numeral 6 denotes a brush rod in which an inner surface cleaning brush 7 for cleaning a container such as a cup is implanted at a tip portion. The lower end of the brush rod is externally fitted to the guide rod 4 so that the guide rod 4 is slidably supported and is directed upward by a spring 5. Be assisted.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a spiral groove formed in the inner peripheral surface of the brush rod 6, which is fitted with a pin 9 projecting from the outer surface of the guide rod 4, and
Is moved up and down, the spiral groove 8 is guided by the pin 9 to rotate the brush rod 6. Reference numeral 10 denotes a support for supporting the brush rod 6, and a base 11 of the support is fixed to the bottom in the outer case 1. Reference numeral 12 denotes fitting protrusions formed on the outer peripheral surface of the brush rod 6, and several protrusions are formed in the vertical direction of the brush rod 6 over the length of the vertical movement distance of the brush rod 6.

13 is a gear, and a groove 14 corresponding to the fitting ridge 12 of the brush rod 6.
Is formed so as to loosely fit the brush rod 6, and take out the rotation accompanying the vertical movement of the brush rod 6, and the gear 13 and the brush rod 6 are loosely fitted.
It moves up and down while applying a rotational force to 13.
Reference numeral 15 denotes a notch formed in the support body 10 so that a part of the gear 13 faces outward. A driven gear 16 is meshed with the gear 13 to form a well-known transmission mechanism 17.

Reference numeral 18 denotes an outer cleaning brush, and a cleaning brush is implanted on the inner periphery of a cylindrical portion 19 having a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper surface so that the inner cleaning brush 7 and the brush end overlap. A gear 20 that meshes with the driven gear 16 of the transmission mechanism 17 is formed at the base of the cylindrical portion 19. Reference numerals 21 and 22 denote guide rollers for rotating the cylindrical portion 19 of the outer cleaning brush 18 smoothly with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the outer case 1 and for holding the rotation concentrically with the inner cleaning brush 7. . Reference numeral 23 denotes a slider provided at the tip of the inner surface cleaning brush 7 for reducing frictional resistance with the brush when the brush comes into contact with the inner bottom surface of the container.
24 is a locking claw. 25 is a drainage hole protruding from the bottom of the outer case 1.

[Effects of the Invention] The invention is configured as described above, and a container such as a cup is placed between the inner cleaning brush for cleaning the inner surface of the container disposed in the outer case and the outer cleaning brush for cleaning the outer surface. When the insertion container is pushed down, the brush rod descends while rotating along the spiral groove, and the inner cleaning brush rotates, and the outer cleaning brush also rotates simultaneously via the transmission mechanism. The inner and outer surfaces can be brush-cleaned at the same time, and can be cleaned by an extremely simple operation.

In addition, since an electric motor is not used, it can be configured at a low cost and is economical at the time of use. Further, since there is no danger of electric shock to the use of water, it can be used safely at a place where water is used such as a sink. . In addition, since it is small without using electricity, the device can be fixed with a plurality of suction disks inside a detergent tank, etc., and containers are not individually washed with a brush containing detergent as in the conventional case, It has the advantage that it can be washed in a short time without washing hands by washing the container just by pressing the container, preparing several tanks such as water and detergent, setting the equipment inside and washing the container sequentially. It is.
