DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tatami surface cleaning device, and more particularly to a device for removing mud and dust adhering to a new tatami surface during a tatami manufacturing process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cut rush is dyed with mud, drained and dried, and then woven into a tatami mat. Through such a mud dyeing process, a blue tatami surface can be obtained.

[0003]

A new tatami mat having a tatami mat sewn on a tatami mat floor must be removed before shipping because dry mud and dust adhere to the surface of the tatami mat.

[0004]

A tatami cleaning device according to the present invention includes a brushing device 3 for brushing the surface of a tatami enclosed by a vertically movable housing 1 and a tatami mat to be brushed.
It is composed of a mask that covers the edge portion, and a dust collecting device 5 that is connected to the housing 1 via the duct 4. Also bra
The hitting device 2 may be provided in addition to the hashing device 3.
You.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the tatami manufacturing process, the edges are sewn by a sewing machine 91 of a sewing machine in a final step. When this step is completed, the completed tatami is discharged. Therefore, the tatami cleaning device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, is a tapping device supported by a support frame 9 on a conveyor 8 from which a completed tatami 6 is discharged and surrounded by a vertically movable housing 1. And a brushing device, and a dust collecting device 5 coupled to the housing 1 via the duct 4 so as to remove mud and dust adhering to the tatami mat.

As shown in a perspective view of FIG. 2 and a side view of FIG. 4, a hitting device 2 includes a core rod 21 rotated by a motor 24, and a string-like or sheet-like shape radially attached to the core rod 21. Flexible support member 22 and this support member 22
And a striking bar 23 supported by the strut.

[0007] As shown in a front view of FIG. 3 and a side view of FIG.
A pair of chain wheels 31 and 32 spaced apart from each other and the chain wheel
The two chains 33 hanged on 31 and 32, the motor 37 for driving the chain wheel 31, the plurality of brushes 34 attached so as to straddle the two chains 33, and the hanging of the chain 33 An upper sliding plate 35 for preventing the brush and a lower sliding plate 36 for pressing the brush 34 against the tatami surface without being lifted up from the tatami surface. Note that a belt may be used instead of the chain 33.

The hitting device 2 and the brushing device 3 are supported so as to be surrounded by a housing 1 having a bottom. The housing 1 can be moved up and down with respect to a support frame 9 by an air cylinder 92 or the like. It is arranged so as to be substantially orthogonal to the traveling direction of the tatami mat. And
A tatami detector (not shown) for detecting a completed tatami mat is provided at an outlet of the turning machine.

The housing 1 is normally raised, but when a completed tatami is detected by the tatami detector, the motors 24 and 37 are operated, the housing 1 is lowered, and the dust collecting device 5 is operated. The suction of the dirty air in the housing 1 is started.

When the housing 1 is lowered, the mud is hit by hitting the surface of the tatami mat with the hitting rod 23 supported by the supporting member 22 by the rotating core rod 21 of the hitting device 2. The slaughtered mud and dust are swept out by the brush 34 of the brushing device 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction of the tatami mat, carried to the suction port of the duct 4, and sucked by the dust collecting device 5.

If the housing 1 is arranged obliquely so that the direction of the combined vector of the traveling speed of the tatami and the sweeping speed of the brush 34 is orthogonal to the traveling direction of the tatami, the movement of the brush 34 will It follows the rush, and the sweeping effect can be improved.

The edges of the completed tatami are not dirty. In addition, since the damage to brushing or hitting the edge portions of the tatami, you Ku provided with a mask that covers the edge portion.

(Other Embodiments) As an embodiment of the present invention, a state in which a tatami table cleaning apparatus is incorporated in a tatami manufacturing line has been described. However, the tatami table cleaning apparatus of the present invention may be used alone. It is possible.

If the lowering distance of the housing 1 is adjusted so as to correspond to the thickness of the tatami, the tatami can be prevented from being damaged by an excessive force applied to the tatami, and the cleaning effect due to idling can be reduced. The drop can be prevented.

A plurality of brushes in the brushing device 3
Instead of part or all of 34, a brushed fabric may be used. As described above, when the brush 34 and the brushed fabric are used in combination, the cleaning effect is significantly improved.

The hitting device is not limited to the device shown in FIG. 2, and as shown in FIG. 5, a hitting rod 23 supported by a fulcrum 25 is swung up and down by a crank mechanism rotated by a motor 24. You may hit the surface of the tatami mat.

[0017]

As is clear from the description based on the above embodiment, according to the tatami cleaning device of the present invention, the tatami edge is
Clean the new tatami surface without damaging the area
In addition, it is possible to automate the cleaning work at the time of shipping tatami mats having a bad working environment.
