Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a laver dewatering sponge cleaning machine for cleaning laver dewatering sponges used in laver manufacturing equipment.

As is well known in the conventional technology of seaweed production equipment, after the seaweed papermaking is completed, the water adhering to the seaweed and seaweed is dehydrated using a seaweed dehydration sponge, and then the seaweed with the seaweed is dried with hot air. . The seaweed dehydration sponge used in seaweed manufacturing equipment has filth such as sludge and seaweed algae particles attached to the surface or entering the interior during the dewatering process, so this must be removed by cleaning before reuse. It won't happen. Conventionally,
As a washing machine for seaweed dehydration sponge, the Jikoko 61-33
As shown in Publication No. 908 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-33909, a seaweed dehydration sponge is transferred between multiple sets of rollers arranged at predetermined intervals, and each roller partially compresses the seaweed dehydration sponge and dehydrates the seaweed. Sponges that are cleaned by pouring water into them, and Jitsukō 61-45823.
As shown in the above publication, there is known a method in which a plurality of rollers are moved while pressing the surface of a seaweed dewatering sponge, and at the same time water is poured into the surface to clean it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In all of the above-mentioned conventional washing machines, the surface of the seaweed dehydration sponge is partially compressed to partially squeeze out the waste water contained in the seaweed dehydration sponge. Immediately after the seaweed dehydration sponge expands, the waste water is absorbed again, which impairs the cleaning effect of the seaweed dehydration sponge and requires a lot of time for cleaning.Moreover, the sponge body is bonded to the plate. In the case of the dehydrated seaweed sponge, there were problems such as the sponge body peeling off from the plate and the Velcro tape used for fixing it being damaged.

In addition, since the seaweed dehydration sponge is cleaned in a horizontal position, the squeezed waste water stays on the seaweed dehydration sponge for a long time, making the cleaning effect worse. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a pair of fixing plates in the vertical direction that are arranged side by side with an interval between them, and a pair of fixing plates on both sides of the pair of fixing plates. A pair of movable plates in the vertical direction are disposed so as to freely move near and far toward the fixed plate on each side, and a moving device capable of moving the pair of movable plates near and far toward the opposing fixed plate. One of the fixed plate and the pair of movable plates is provided with a fastening part that can be attached and detached so that the seaweed dehydration sponge faces the other, and the other is provided with a large number of through holes at positions facing the fastening part, and the fastening part is provided with a number of through holes at positions opposite to the fastening part. It is characterized by having a water injection tool attached to the side opposite to the side that can inject water.

A seaweed dehydration sponge is fixed to the fixing part provided on one side of the fixed plate and the movable plate, facing the other side, and water is poured onto the other side of the fixed plate and the movable plate with a water injection tool, and the movable plate is moved in that state. The plate is moved toward and away from the fixed plate by a moving device. As a result, the pair of fixed plates and the pair of movable plates sandwich the seaweed dehydration sponge between them and compress the entire body, thereby squeezing out the sewage contained in the seaweed dehydration sponge. The squeezed wastewater quickly flows down along one of the vertically fixed plate and the movable plate. Thereafter, when the seaweed dehydration sponge expands, it absorbs the clean water that has been poured into it through its many through holes. By repeating the above operations, the seaweed dehydration sponge is thoroughly cleaned.
