Circular shaft stop holes 92 are formed at the upper end of each arm member 90, and each arm member is inserted into each shaft stop hole 92 through both ends of a support shaft 62, which will be described later. 90 is supported by the support shaft 62 in a suspended state.

  Each arm member 90 is fixed to the support shaft 62 so as not to rotate independently at the position of each shaft stop hole 92. The rotation of the support shaft 62 causes each arm member 90 to swing in synchronization with the upper end portion as a center. The lower end is displaced in the front-rear direction. As a result, the treatment liquid recovery case 3 on the mounting table 37 tilts in the front-rear direction, and the posture of the dewatering tank 2, that is, the direction of the inlet 20 of the dewatering tank 2 can be changed.

  Mounted on the connecting plate 91 of the suspension member 9 is a motor 40 serving as a drive source of the rotation drive device 4 that rotates the dehydration tank 2 within the treatment liquid recovery case 3. The rotation driving device 4 includes a motor 40, a driving pulley 41 provided on the rotation shaft of the motor 40, a driven pulley 45 (shown in FIG. 7) provided on the lower surface side of the mounting table 37, and the driving pulley 41 and the driven pulley.

The shaft 43 is rotatably supported by the treatment liquid recovery case 3 via a bearing 44, and is fixed to an upper end portion of the shaft 43 so that the dehydration tank 2 rotates integrally with the shaft 43.

  In the rotation drive device 4, the rotation of the motor 40 is transmitted to the driven pulley 45 by the belt 42 to rotate the shaft 43, so that the dehydration tank 2 fixed to the shaft 43 rotates in the processing liquid recovery case 3. It has become.

  The support 6 rotates to a pair of left and right vertical plates 60, 60 extending in the vertical direction, a pair of left and right horizontal plates 61, 61 fixed to the lower end of each vertical plate 60, and the vertical plates 60. The support shaft 62 is supported so as to be capable of being supported. Each vertical plate 60 has an upper end portion connected by a connecting plate 63A and a lower end portion connected by a connecting rod 63B. Each horizontal plate 62 has a rear end portion connected by a connecting plate 64A and a front end portion side connected by a connecting rod 64B. A rotating shaft 80 is inserted through the front end of each horizontal plate 61.

  The rotating shaft 80 constitutes a support tilting device 8 to be described later, and both ends of the rotating shaft 80 are rotatably supported by a pair of left and right bearings 14 attached to the frame body 13. In addition, each vertical plate 60 is supported at its lower end on holding members 15 and 15 provided on the frame body 13, so that the support 6 always has the vertical plate 60 in the vertical direction. The horizontal plates 61 are held in an upright posture in which the horizontal plates 61 face in the horizontal direction. As a result, the dehydration tank 2 in the treatment liquid recovery case 3 is held in an upright posture in which the inlet 20 faces upward.

  Both ends of the support shaft 62 projecting from the arm members 90 are rotatably supported by the upper end portions of the vertical plates 60 via bearings 65, and the treatment liquid recovery case 3 is supported via the suspension member 9 described above. Is supported to be tiltable in the front-rear direction. One end of a support shaft 62 protruding from one vertical plate 60 is fixed to one end of a lever 71 constituting the case tilting device 7, and the support shaft 62 rotates integrally with the lever 71.

  The case tilting device 7 includes the lever 71 and a case tilting cylinder device 70 such as an air cylinder in which a rod 70a is swingably attached to the other end of the lever 71. The cylinder device 70 for tilting the case is swingably attached to one horizontal plate 61 of the support 6, and the other end of the lever 71 rotates around one end by the expansion and contraction of the rod 70 a. The support shaft 62 can be rotated. Thereby, since each arm member of the support member 9 swings synchronously, the treatment liquid recovery case 3 can be tilted with respect to the support 6 in the front-rear direction.

  The support tilting device 8 includes a rotating shaft 80, a lever 81 whose one end is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 80 protruding from one bearing 14 attached to the frame 13, and the other end of the lever 81. It comprises a cylinder device 82 for tilting a support body such as an air cylinder in which a rod 82a is swingably attached to the part.

  The rotation shaft 80 is fixed to each horizontal plate 61 so as not to rotate independently at the position of the shaft stop hole 66 of each horizontal plate 61 of the support 6, and the rotation shaft 80 rotates integrally with each horizontal plate 61. . The cylinder device 82 for tilting the support body is swingably attached to the frame body 13, and the other end portion of the lever 81 rotates about one end portion by the expansion and contraction of the rod 82 a, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 80. Can be rotated. As a result, the horizontal plates 61 of the support 6 rotate in synchronization with each other, so that the support 6 is tilted in the front-rear direction while maintaining the L-shape in cross-section, and is thereby supported by the support 6. The treatment liquid recovery case 3 can be tilted in the front-rear direction while maintaining its posture.

  Below the mounting table 37, a support device 50 is provided that can support the front part of the mounting table 37 whose rear part is supported in a cantilevered state by the suspension member 9. The support device 50 includes a mounting table support cylinder device 51 such as an air cylinder provided in the frame body 13 and a horizontal holding plate 52 attached to the tip of the rod of the cylinder device 51. The holding plate 52 is made of, for example, a polyacetal plate, and moves up and down by expansion and contraction of a rod of the cylinder device 51. Normally, the rod of the cylinder device 51 is contracted, and the holding plate 52 is positioned below the mounting table 37. When the rod is extended by driving the cylinder device 51 and the holding plate 52 is moved upward, the holding plate 52 comes into contact with the lower surface of the mounting table 37, so that the mounting table 37 supports the front portion thereof by the holding plate 52. Is done. As a result, it is possible to fix the mounting table 37 in a state closer to the horizontal without swinging.

  In addition, a fixing device 53 for pressing the support 6 from above and fixing the support 6 so as not to tilt is provided above the support 6. The fixing device 53 includes a cylinder device 54 for fixing a support body such as an air cylinder provided on the frame body 13, and a horizontal fixing plate 55 attached to the tip of the rod of the cylinder device 54. The cylinder device 54 is attached to the frame 13 in an inverted direction so that the rod extends downward, and is positioned so that the fixing plate 55 at the tip of the rod is positioned on the connection plate 63A at the upper end of the support 6. Has been. The fixed plate 55 is made of, for example, a polyacetal plate, and moves up and down by expansion and contraction of a rod of the cylinder device 54.

  Normally, the rod of the cylinder device 54 is contracted, and the fixing plate 55 is located above the connection plate 63A of the support 6. When the rod is extended by driving the cylinder device 54 and the fixing plate 55 is moved downward, the fixing plate 55 comes into contact with the upper surface of the connecting plate 63A, so that the connecting plate 63A is directed downward from above by the fixing plate 55. Can be pressed. As a result, each vertical plate 60 of the support 6 is pressed onto the holding members 15, 15. As a result, each vertical plate 60 faces the vertical direction and each horizontal plate 61 faces the horizontal direction. It can be fixed in an upright position. The fixing device 53 and the above-described support device 50 cooperate to fix the holding body 6 in an upright posture so as not to be tilted, and to fix the mounting table 37 so as not to tilt in a horizontal state. As a result, even if vibration due to rotation of the dewatering tank 2 is generated and transmitted to the entire dehydrating apparatus 1 during dehydration described later, the vibration is reduced. It can be prevented from shaking and moving.

  In the present embodiment, the fixing device 53 is provided on one side of the support 6 and the one end portion of the connecting plate 63A is pressed from above by the fixing plate 55. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the fixing device 53 may be provided on the other side of the support body 6 so that both end portions of the connecting plate 63A are pressed by both fixing plates 55. Moreover, you may make it provide the fixing device 53 so that the fixing plate 55 may press the center part of the connection plate 63A of the support body 6. FIG.

  The operation of each component of the dehydrating apparatus 1 described above is performed by a control device (not shown).

  Next, the operation of the dehydrating apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 7, the operation of the case tilting device 7 and the support tilting device 8 causes the control device to place the processing liquid recovery case 3 in a horizontal state, so that the dehydration tank 2 is placed with the inlet 20 facing upward. Hold in a vertical position that faces you. In this state, the container 10 above the dehydration tank 2 is turned upside down so that the clothes and dyed liquid that have been dyed are put into the dehydration tank 2 from the container 10. The dyeing liquid charged into the dehydration tank 2 flows into the processing liquid recovery case 3 from the liquid passage hole, and is discharged out of the processing liquid recovery case 3 from the drain pipe 36.

  When clothing is put into the dewatering tank 2, the control device operates the case tilting device 7 to tilt the treatment liquid recovery case 3 forward with respect to the support 6 as shown in FIG. The posture is changed so that the insertion port 20 faces obliquely upward. Next, by operating the rotation drive device 4 and rotating the motor 40 at a low speed, the dehydration tank 2 is rotated at a low speed of, for example, about 75 rpm as shown in FIG. As a result, the clothes are evenly dispersed in the dehydration tank 2, and the clothing can be prevented from being displaced in the dehydration tank 2 due to the input of the clothes from the container 10 to the dehydration tank 2. At this time, it is preferable to rotate the dewatering tank 2 in either the forward or reverse direction.

  Then, the control device operates the case tilting device 7 while rotating the dehydrating tank 2 at a low speed, and as shown in FIG. 2 is held in such a posture that the original inlet 20 faces upward. When the dehydrating tank 2 returns to the original posture, the control device stops the operation of the rotation driving device 4, stops the rotation of the dehydrating tank 2, and then performs the dehydrating process.

  In the next dehydration process, the control device operates the support device 50 to support the front portion of the mounting table 37 on which the processing liquid recovery case 3 is mounted from below by the holding plate 52 as shown in FIG. At this time, by operating the case tilting device 7, the rod 70 a of the cylinder device 70 is contracted, and the mounting table 37 that serves as the base of the treatment liquid recovery case 3 is pressed onto the holding plate 52 from above, thereby mounting table 37. It is desirable to hold it from above and below so as not to swing. Thereby, the mounting table 37 is fixed in a horizontal state, and as a result, the processing liquid recovery case 3 is firmly held in a horizontal state.

  Further, the control device operates the fixing device 53 to press the connecting plate 63A of the support 6 from above by the fixing plate 55, and presses each vertical plate 60 of the support 6 on the holding member 15 to thereby support the support plate 63A. The body 6 is fixed in an upright posture so as not to move. When the entire dehydrating device 1 is fixed by the cooperation of the support device 50 and the fixing device 53, the resistance of the dehydrating device 1 to vibration is increased. Therefore, the vibration generated by the rotation of the dehydrating layer 2 during the subsequent dehydration process. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the dehydrating apparatus 1 from being adversely affected.

  Then, the control device operates the rotation driving device 4 to rotate the dehydration tank 2 for a predetermined time as shown in FIG. 12, thereby dehydrating the clothes stored in the dehydration tank 2. As a result of this dehydration treatment, excess dye liquor contained in the clothing flows out from the liquid passage hole to the treatment liquid recovery case 3. In the present embodiment, in this dehydration process, first, the motor 40 is rotated at a medium speed, and the dewatering tank 2 is rotated at a medium speed at a rotation speed of, for example, about 300 rpm, so that rough dewatering is performed for about 10 seconds. . After the rough dehydration, the control device rotates the motor 40 at a high speed and rotates the dehydration tank 2 at a high speed, for example, about 1500 rpm, which is higher than the rotation speed at the time of the rough dehydration, for about 30 seconds. It is configured to perform high speed dehydration.

  Thus, in this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the vibration of the apparatus during high-speed dewatering by performing rough dehydration before high-speed dewatering and reducing the amount of moisture contained in the clothing. In the present embodiment, the dehydration tank 2 is rotated at a first rotation speed at a medium speed for a predetermined time, and then rotated at a second rotation speed higher than the first rotation speed. The control device controls the operation of the rotary drive device 4 so that the dehydration process is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the dehydration tank 2 may be configured to perform a dehydration process by rotating the dehydration tank 2 from a low speed to a high speed with a plurality of patterns of rotation speeds. Thus, the clothes may be dehydrated by rotating from the beginning to the end.

  In this way, when the dehydration process of the clothing is completed after a lapse of the predetermined time, the control device stops the operation of the rotation drive device 4 and stops the rotation of the dehydration tank 2. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13, the control device operates the support device 50 to return the holding plate 52 that supports the mounting table 37 to the lower position of the mounting table 37, thereby releasing the fixing of the mounting table 37. . Further, the control device operates the fixing device 53 to return the fixing plate 55 for fixing the support body 6 to a position above the support body 6, thereby releasing the fixing of the support body 6. Next, the clothes are discharged.

In the next discharging process, the control device operates the rotation driving device 4 to rotate the dehydration tank 2 at a medium speed as shown in FIG. Then, while rotating the dewatering tank 2 at a medium speed, the case tilting device 7 is operated to tilt the treatment liquid recovery case 3 forward relative to the support 6 as shown in FIG. The posture is changed so that the mouth 20 faces obliquely upward. Thereafter, the support tilting device 8 is continuously operated to tilt the support 6 itself forward as shown in FIG. 16, thereby further tilting the treatment liquid recovery case 3 forward, and the inlet of the dehydration tank 2. The dewatering tank 2 is turned upside down so that 20 faces obliquely downward. As a result, the clothes after the dehydration process fall from the inlet 20 of the dehydration tank 2 and are collected in a clothes collection tray (not shown) disposed below the dehydration tank 2.

  In the present embodiment, the dehydration tank 2 is rotationally driven in the treatment liquid recovery case 3 by the rotation drive device 4 even during the inversion of the dehydration tank 2 (while the clothes are being discharged). Thus, in this embodiment, since it is comprised so that the clothing in the dehydration tank 2 may be discharged | emitted while rotating the dehydration tank 2, the clothes which were gathered in the dehydration tank 2 by the dehydration process are loosened and uniform. It is discharged from the dehydration tank 2 in a dispersed state. Therefore, when clothes are discharged, the clothes are prevented from sticking to the inner wall of the dewatering tank 2 or being caught on the inlet 20 of the dewatering tank 2, etc., so that the clothes can be discharged smoothly from the dewatering tank 2. , Can effectively prevent the leakage of clothes.

  When clothing is discharged from the dewatering tank 2, as shown in FIG. 18, the control device stops the operation of the rotation driving device 4 to stop the rotation of the dewatering tank 2, and the support body tilting device 8 and the case tilting. The apparatus 7 is operated to tilt the treatment liquid recovery case 3 backward, and the dehydration tank 2 is returned and held in a posture in which the original inlet 20 faces upward. Then, a new dyed clothing and dye solution are supplied from the container 10 to the empty water storage tank 2 from which the clothes have been dehydrated and discharged.

  According to the dehydrating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to automatically perform dehydration of an object to be processed that has been processed with the processing liquid in the previous step, and it is accommodated in a container 10 that is sequentially transported from the previous step. In addition, it is possible to quickly and efficiently perform the dehydration process of the processed object.
