DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a continuous washing machine for continuously washing an object to be washed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional continuous washing machine will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 shows the overall configuration of a conventional continuous washing machine, and FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a drum, which is rotated in a predetermined direction by a drive motor 2 to wash the object 3 with water. Fixed drums 4 and 5 are provided outside the drum 1, and supply / drainage of the drum 1, supply of detergent and the like, and heating are performed via the fixed drums 4 and 5. A dewatering machine 7 is provided on the outlet 6 side of the drum 1.

A plurality of tanks are connected in series inside the drum 1, and each tank is divided by a partition plate 8, as shown in FIG. A scoop 9 is fixed between the drum 1 and the partition plate 8 and the drum 1 rotates forward to scoop up the article 3 to be washed and transfer it to an adjacent tank. A predetermined amount of the article 3 to be washed is supplied from the input port 10 in accordance with the transfer timing. 11 in the figure
Is a water supply tank for supplying washing water from the inlet 10, 11a
Is a water supply valve.

The articles to be washed 3 are fed by a predetermined amount by a supply conveyor 12 and are driven in accordance with the transfer timing by the rotation of the drum 1. In addition, the to-be-washed material 3 may be conveyed every predetermined amount by a lift conveyor or a storage bag.

[0006] In the above-mentioned continuous type washing machine, a predetermined amount of articles 3 to be washed is supplied from a supply port 12 through a supply port 10, and washing is sequentially performed in a tank by swinging and rotating the drum 1. The object to be washed 3 is introduced from the inlet 10 in synchronization with the transfer timing to the next tank, and the object to be washed 3 taken out from the outlet 6 is dehydrated by the dehydrator 7.

[0007]

The article to be washed 3 is fed by a predetermined amount by the supply conveyor 12 and is supplied from the input port 10, but since the input port 10 is always open, the supply conveyor 12 malfunctions. When this occurs, there is a risk that the washing target 3 to be charged next before the washing target 3 in the tank is sent to the next tank. In this case, an overload may be applied to a certain tank volume, and the article 3 to be washed may be entangled and clogged at the time of transfer, or may be mixed with the article 3 in an adjacent tank. When clogging or the like occurs, it is necessary to stop the machine, enter an operator into the drum 1, and cut or repair the article 3 to be washed. For this reason, if the article 3 to be washed next is thrown in before the article to be washed is sent to the next tank, a great deal of labor and time are required for restoration.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drum provided with an inlet for an object to be washed at one end and an outlet for an object to be washed at the other end. A continuous water washer comprising: a partition plate for dividing the inside of the drum into a plurality of chambers; and transfer means for sequentially transferring the article to be washed from the chamber on the inlet side to the chamber on the outlet side. In front
Doors that are opened and closed according to the transfer timing of the items to be washed
It is characterized in that it is provided at the inlet .

[0009]

[Action] The door is opened and closed according to the transfer timing of the object to be washed.
As a result, the door is opened when it can be loaded, and the door is closed when the object to be washed is in the tank, and even if the object to be washed is sent due to malfunction or the like, the object in the tank is sent to the next tank. The washing object is not put in before being washed.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an inlet of a continuous washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. The entire structure of the continuous washing machine is shown in FIGS.
Therefore, duplicate description is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the insertion port 10 is covered with a shutter (door) 52 that is opened and closed by driving an electric motor 51. The shutter 52 is controlled to open and close according to the transfer timing of the article to be washed, and closes the insertion port 10 when the article to be washed is present in the tank.

The opening / closing timing of the shutter 52 will be described with reference to FIG.

The time point when the drum 1 shifts from the washing rotation to the transfer rotation (the rotation angle of the drum 1 is 315 °) is detected (transferability check: for example, the dehydrator 7 is ready, the water supply tank 11 is full, etc.), and the shutter 52 is opened. become. Further, the drum 1 rotates (rotation angle 90 °), the supply conveyor 12 starts to be driven, and the water supply valve 11a is opened (t ₁ ) to start water supply. The washed product by driving the feed conveyor 12 is turned from the inlet, it is detected drive completion of the supply conveyor 12 until after a time t ₂ is (input completed) shutter 52 keeps the open state. When the rotation angle of the rotary drum 1 reaches 120 °, the drive motor 2 starts reverse rotation, and then repeats normal and reverse rotations to perform washing rotation (oscillation). When the cleaning rotation starts, the shutter 52 is closed.

Accordingly, the shutter 52 is automatically opened from the start of driving the supply conveyor 12 to the completion of the loading of the article to be washed, and the shutter 52 is automatically closed when the loading of the article to be washed is completed. For this reason, even if the supply conveyor 12 malfunctions when an object to be washed is present in the tank during washing, the object to be washed is not thrown into the tank from the inlet 10 because the shutter 52 is closed. .

By making the shape when the shutter 52 is closed into a mountain shape, even if the object to be washed falls on the shutter 52 due to malfunction, the object to be washed slides from the upper surface of the shutter 52 to the floor surface. It does not fall and remain on the shutter 52.

[0016]

According to the continuous type washing machine of the present invention, the door to be opened and closed is provided at the inlet of the object to be washed. Even if the device malfunctions, a new object to be washed is not thrown into the tank. As a result, there is no danger that an article to be washed exceeding an allowable amount is thrown into the tank, and clogging during transfer can be prevented.
