Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ashtray washing machine which is installed at a refueling station for refueling vehicles such as automobiles and used for use. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a refueling station, when refueling, an ashtray mounted on a vehicle is washed as part of a service, but as a method of operating an ashtray cleaner, a push button is used. Some switches are installed outside the cleaning room and operated manually, and others have photodetectors installed inside the cleaning room. [0003] However, when the push button switch is installed outside the washing room, the ashtray must be inserted into the washing room and the push button switch must be operated with both hands to operate the push button switch. was there. [0004] In addition, the photodetector has a disadvantage that it malfunctions due to butts or ash stains, or operates when it is not intended. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] The present invention has been made to solve the problems in such a conventionally used ashtray washer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION That is, according to the present invention ,
An ashtray washer for an oil refinery comprises a washing chamber having an opening ,
Located above the inside of the purification room and rotatably supported by hinges
Inner ceiling plate, and placed above the inside of the washing chamber
Suppress the downward rotation of the inner ceiling plate from the rest position
Stopper and attached to the hinge, the washing room
Actuating arm that partially penetrates through the drilled small hole
And installed on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber, and the rotation of the operation arm
A switch whose opening and closing are controlled by the
And a washing mechanism placed, wherein the inner ceiling plate is pushed up.
When the inner arm is turned upward, the operating arm
Press the switch to activate the cleaning mechanism and
Wash the ashtray placed in the clean room, and
When lifting upward, the inner ceiling plate
Rotate downward and return to the original rest position by the stopper
After returning, further downward rotation is suppressed . The specific structure of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a main part showing the configuration of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the same, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the main part showing the configuration of the present invention, and FIG. It is. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a cleaning chamber, which has an opening 6 at the front thereof. 2 is a hinge for rotatably holding an inner ceiling plate 3 arranged above the inside of the washing chamber 1, 4
Is an operating arm attached to the hinge 2, the tip of which extends through the small hole 8 formed in the cleaning chamber 1 and protrudes outside the cleaning chamber 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a switch provided on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 1 in an operation area of the operation arm 4, the opening and closing of which is controlled by the operation arm 4. Reference numeral 7 denotes a housing accommodating the ashtray washer of the present invention, and reference numeral 9 denotes a stopper for limiting an operation range of the inner ceiling plate 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to use the present invention, as shown in FIG.
The ashtray washer is placed in the housing 7, and the opening 6 of the washer is directed to the outside of the housing, such as the front, side, or back of the housing, and is installed on an island of a gas station. In order to clean an ashtray with the ashtray cleaning device of the present invention, an ashtray to be cleaned is first inserted into the opening 6, and the ashtray is rotated inside the cleaning chamber 1 to drop butts and the like. Then, when the inner ceiling plate 3 is pushed upward by hand while holding the ashtray, the inner ceiling plate 3 rotates upward about the hinge 2 axis, and is attached to the hinge 2 accordingly. The operating arm 4 also rotates, and its tip pushes a switch 5 installed in the operating area of the operating arm 4 on the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 1 to activate an electric circuit (not shown). As a result, the water supply mechanism, the operation of which is controlled by the electric circuit, and other necessary cleaning mechanisms (not shown) installed in the cleaning chamber 1 start operating. Even so, a series of sequences by the electric circuit are sequentially operated and the cleaning mechanism is continuously operated, so that the cleaning operation can be performed during that time. In this way, if the washing of the ashtray is completed during the operation of the electric circuit, the operation of the washing mechanism is completed and the operation is automatically stopped as described above. When the inner ceiling plate 3 is released, the inner ceiling plate 3 rotates downward by its own weight, returns to the old position, and is restrained by the stopper 9. As described above, the ashtray washer of the present invention operates reliably only when the operator intends, and there is no possibility of malfunction. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the operating arm 4 is extended downward and outside the cleaning chamber 1 is shown. However, the position of the switch 5 is not limited to the lower side, and the position of the switch 5 matches the position of the switch. Can overhang in any direction. As described above, according to the present invention, the cleaning device can be reliably and easily operated only when required, by only performing the operation of pushing up the inner ceiling plate with one hand. In addition, since the structure can be easily configured both mechanically and electrically, maintenance is easy and installation is easy. As described above, the present invention has a remarkable effect as compared with the conventionally used ashtray washer.
