Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a horizontal running water washing machine for cloth, which continuously washes a long cloth while running it.

(Prior Art) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-40625 discloses a horizontal running water washer as a device for continuously washing a long fabric while running it. This washing machine is
A large number of large-diameter guide rollers are arranged vertically in the front and rear parts of the casing, and a liquid collection gutter is provided below each of the guide rollers. The fabric is guided upward in a zigzag pattern and is washed with washing water flowing down from above. In the conventional device, the cleaning water in the liquid collection gutter overflows from the rear part of the front liquid collection gutter and the front part of the rear liquid collection gutter, and is used directly or directly.
In the device disclosed in the publication, washing water flows down from an auxiliary gutter connected to the liquid collection gutter onto the fabric extending downward and almost horizontally.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventional horizontal running water washing machines have a front liquid collection gutter located under a large diameter guide roller, from the rear of the liquid collection gutter, and from the rear of the liquid collection gutter located under the large diameter guide roller. The washing water overflowed from the front part of each gutter, and the washing water flowed down onto the fabric that was moving from the large diameter guide roller at the bottom slightly upward to the guide roller on the opposite side. There was a problem in that the fabric sagged due to the impact of washing water flowing down from above, resulting in vertical wrinkles.

This invention provides a horizontal running water washing machine for cloth that does not produce the above-mentioned vertical wrinkles.

(Means for solving the problem) Overflow ports are formed on the front plate of the front liquid collection gutter and on the rear plate of the rear liquid collection gutter, and from this overflow port is formed below the overflow port. A slanted gutter is provided to catch overflowing wash water and guide it to the lower guide roller.

(Function) The cleaning water in the front liquid collection gutter overflows forward from the overflow port on the front plate, is received by the inclined gutter, flows down to the lower front guide roller, and flows into the rear liquid gutter. The cleaning water inside overflows rearward from the overflow opening in the rear face plate, is received by the inclined gutter, and flows down to the guide roller at the lower rear. That is, the washing water overflowing from the liquid collection gutter flows down onto the fabric that is wound and supported by the guide roller.

(Example) In Fig. 1, 1 is a casing of a washing machine, and inside this casing 1, a large number of large diameter guide rollers 2, 2a, 2b are arranged in two rows in front and back in a zigzag pattern. . A liquid collection gutter 3 is provided below the other guide rollers 2 except for the lowest guide rollers 2a and 2b, and the cleaning water W (see Fig. 2) collected in this liquid collection gutter 3 is supplied to the guide The lower part of the roller 2 is immersed, the lowermost guide roller 2a of the front row is immersed in the cleaning water W stored at the bottom of the casing 1, and the lowermost guide roller 2a of the rear row is immersed.
b is located above the water surface of the wash water W at the bottom of the casing 1.

The liquid collection gutter 3 in the front row (left row in FIG. 1) has a bottom plate 3a and a front plate 3, as shown in FIGS.
b, formed into a shallow box shape by the rear plate 3c and the side plate 3d, and the overflow port 3e is cut out in the front plate 3b facing the front wall 1a of the casing 1, narrower than the width of the fabric F having the minimum width. provided by. An inclined gutter 4 is provided on the front wall 1a of the casing 1 so as to project obliquely downward so as to be located below the overflow port 3e, and the lower end of the inclined gutter 4 is located above the lower guide roller 2. To position. Note that a small-diameter intermediate guide roller 5 is provided behind the large-diameter guide roller 2. A small-diameter intermediate guide roller 5 is placed in front of the large-diameter guide rollers 2 and 2b in the rear row.
and 5a are provided, a rear row liquid collection gutter 3 is made in the opposite direction to the front row, and a rear row slanted gutter 4 is provided protruding from the rear wall 1b of the casing 1.

Front wall 1a of the above casing 1 (see Figure 1)
An entrance guide roller 6 is provided on the outside of the front wall 1a, a fabric introduction port 1c is provided at the lower part of the front wall 1a, and a fabric introduction port 1c is provided at the lower part of the front wall 1a.
A fabric outlet 1e is opened at each of the fabric outlets 1e, and an outlet guide roller 7 and a pair of squeezing rollers 8 are arranged in order from below below the fabric outlet 1e, and the fabric F passes through the inlet guide roller 6 and enters the fabric inlet 1c. It is introduced into the casing 1 from the front and rear rows of large-diameter guide rollers 2a, 2b, 2 in a zigzag pattern, and is pushed up into a chevron shape by the intermediate guide roller 5a. It is guided to the exit guide roller 7, passed through the squeezing roller 8, and then led out from the fabric outlet 1e.

Note that the bottom of the casing 1 is provided with an outlet 1f for the cleaning water W, and an overflow device 9 for keeping the liquid level of the cleaning water W below a certain height.
will be provided. In addition, the outer cleaning water supply pipe 10 is connected to the guide roller 2 at the top of the front row via the water heater 11.
The shower device 12 is attached to the tip of the roller. In addition, the steam supply pipe 13 below the casing 1 is connected to the water heater 11 and the casing 1.
It is connected to a steam supply pipe 14 for heating the cleaning water W at the bottom.

In the above structure, the wash water W supplied by the wash water supply pipe 10 is heated by the water heater 11 and then passed by the shower device 12 from the guide roller 2 at the top of the front row to the top of the rear row. It is sprayed onto the fabric F heading towards the guide roller 2, and part of it flows down into the liquid collection gutter 3 immediately below, and the rest is carried along with the fabric F and flows into the liquid collection gutter 3 at the top of the back row. Then, the cleaning water W collected in the front and rear topmost liquid collection gutter 3, 3
When the water level rises, it overflows from the overflow port 3e, passes through the inclined gutter 4, and flows down to the fabric F on the guide roller 2 below. Thereafter, this process is repeated until the cleaning water W is stored at the bottom of the casing 1, and when the water level rises, it is discharged through the overflow device 9. On the other hand, the fabric F introduced into the conductive part of the casing 1 is
The cloth rises in a zigzag pattern while restoring back and forth, during which time it is washed by the washing water W, and is led out from the guide roller 2 at the top of the rear row via the exit guide roller 7, the squeezing roller 8 and the fabric outlet 1e. Sent to the process.

(Effects of the device) This device allows the cleaning liquid to overflow from the front and rear collection gutters to the front and rear, respectively, that is, to the front and rear walls of the casing, and then flows downward through the sloped gutters below. The impact of the flowing washing water is received by the guide roller, so that the fabric that is wrapped around this guide roller and in contact with its upper surface is affected by the washing water flowing down. It does not sag and does not cause vertical wrinkles like conventional products. As shown in the example, when the width of the overflow port of the liquid collection gutter is set narrower than the width of the fabric, the entire overflowing washing water flows down onto the fabric below and is used for washing. .
