Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning member for a cleaning device for the purpose of assisting a cleaning operation of tableware, cooking utensils, and the like by hand-washing. In particular, the cleaning device has a cleaning member and a driving device, and is used in a cleaning device that cleans dishes by removably connecting the cleaning member to a driving device having a cleaning member mounting rod provided with a protrusion for attaching the cleaning member on the outer surface. The present invention relates to a cleaning member.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a cleaning device for assisting cleaning work of tableware, cooking utensils, etc. by hand washing, there is a combined multi-function rotary sponge dishwasher invented by the present applicant (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

Japanese Patent No. 3785181 (FIG. 1)

  The washing member of the dishwasher disclosed in the above document is a cylinder or a cone, and can be attached to a driving device and used for washing dishes and the like.

  However, the above-described conventional cleaning member has a problem that, in a cup having a narrow bottom, the cleaning member is difficult to reach the inner bottom and is difficult to clean. In addition, there is a problem that most of the surface that contacts the tableware is a surface and the cleaning power is relatively low.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning member that can be easily cleaned even in a cup or the like and has high cleaning power.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention cleans dishes by removably connecting a cleaning member to a drive device having a cleaning member mounting rod provided with a protrusion for mounting the cleaning member on the outer surface. The cleaning member in the cleaning device
A cleaning sponge having a cylindrical shape, having a cut portion partially cut off from the top of the head, and having a connecting core connected to the cleaning member mounting rod at the bottom,
The cut portion is cut into a symmetrical shape with respect to the center of the top of the head at a position that is oblique to the axis and is V-shaped toward the center of the top of the head and has a bottom direction as a vertex and a top with the top as a base. Is formed,
Provided is a cleaning member characterized in that the coupling core has a hollow cylindrical shape, has T-shaped grooves at both ends for connection to the cleaning member mounting rod, and can be attached to the protruding rod. .

  According to the first aspect, even in a glass having a narrow bottom, such as a wine glass, the inner bottom surface side of the cup is pressed against the top of the sponge and rotated, so that the space of the cut portion is shrunk like a fold. , Sponge hits the back of the inner bottom, and more corners on the sponge, so it is possible to more efficiently clean the dishes and other dishes, improving the cleaning ability .

  Further, the cleaning sponge may have a plurality of vertical grooves parallel to the axis and / or a plurality of horizontal grooves perpendicular to the axis on the outer peripheral surface. According to such a configuration, the sponge has more corners, and the force for physically scraping off the stain on the tableware is increased, thereby further improving the cleaning power. In addition, when two such cleaning members are used side by side at the same time, it is possible to more effectively realize double-sided washing of dishes.

  Since the cleaning member of the present invention is as described above, cleaning is easy even in a glass or the like, and the cleaning power is high.

  Hereinafter, a configuration and operation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a cleaning member according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the cleaning member according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the cleaning member according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a right side view of the cleaning member according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, and 6C are respectively a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′, a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB ′, a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC ′, and DD. It is a sectional view taken along the line 'E' and a sectional view taken along the line EE '. The left side surface and the back surface are symmetrical with the right side surface and the front surface, respectively. The cleaning member (3) of this example is composed of a sponge part (1) and a core part (2). The sponge part (1) has a cylindrical shape with a soft and flexible surface and a diameter of about 6 cm, and has a through hole from the top to the bottom at the center. The through hole has a circular cross section. The core portion (2) is a plastic hollow cylinder having a rotation shaft penetrating cavity (21) penetrating from the top portion to the bottom portion at the center, and a T-shaped rotation shaft pin hooking groove (22) at the bottom portion. There are places. The upper part of the core part (2) is fixedly inserted into the through hole of the cleaning member (3). The right side of the cleaning member is the same as the front, and the back and left sides are symmetrical with the front and right sides, respectively. In this embodiment, V-shaped grooves are carved at eight symmetrical positions on the outer circumference in plan view above the front view. The cut portion which is the V-shaped groove is symmetrical with respect to the center of the top of the cleaning member, is inclined with respect to the axis and is V-shaped toward the center of the top of the head, and the bottom direction is the apex. It is cut into a triangle with the top as the base.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the use of the cleaning member according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning member (3) is attached to the cleaning member mounting rod (41) of the drive device (4) to constitute the cleaning device (5). The drive device (4) has one motor for each cleaning member mounting rod (41). In FIG. 7, the drive device is a set of two motors, but may be one. In the cleaning device (5), the cleaning member mounting rod (41) is rotated by the rotation of the motor, and the cleaning member (3) mounted on the cleaning member mounting rod (41) is rotated. Tableware such as a dish or pan can be pressed against the top of the cleaning member (3) for cleaning. In addition, chopsticks, a dish, or the like is sandwiched between the two cleaning members (3), so that both sides can be cleaned effectively.

(Function)
According to the cleaning member (3) of Example 1, even when the glass has a narrow bottom, such as a wine glass, the inner bottom surface of the cup is pressed against the top of the sponge and rotated, so that the V-shaped groove is pleated. It shrinks as you approach it, and the sponge hits the inner bottom. In addition, since the corner portion of the sponge is increased, it becomes possible to more efficiently clean stains on tableware such as cups, and the cleaning ability is improved. Moreover, since it can wash | clean efficiently, tableware can be washed in a little use time.

  The T-shaped rotary shaft pin retaining groove (22) of the core (2) covers the cleaning member mounting rod (41) when it is stationary, and covers the cleaning member mounting rod (41) with the core (2). Then, the protrusion (411) is fitted into the lower vertical groove which becomes the leg portion of the rotating shaft pin hanging groove (22), and the cleaning member (3) is turned to either the left or right to rotate the rotating shaft pin hanging groove (22). This is done by hooking it into the lateral groove that forms the T-shaped sleeve. When in use, the rotation direction is parallel to the T-shaped sleeve direction, so that the protrusion (411) is caught in the lateral groove that forms the sleeve portion of the rotation shaft pin hanging groove (22) even if it rotates to the left or right. Thus, the core portion (2) can be prevented from falling off the cleaning member mounting rod (41).

(effect)
According to the cleaning member of the first embodiment, cleaning is easy even in a glass or the like, and the cleaning power is high. Further, it is possible to prevent the cleaning member from falling off the driving device.
