Next, the movement of the turntable device 90 will be explained as follows. The golf club G is removed from the installation section 91 by the take-out device 60.
When placed in the base 92, the rotating wall 95 of the installation section 91 is sandwiched from both sides by the driving roller 98 of the driving section 100 provided in the base 92 and the clamping roller 101 of the clamping body 102, and the rotation of the driving roller 98 causes the installation section to move. 91 is rotated by one U-shaped storage section 93. When the installation part 91 rotates by one U-shaped storage part 93, the pin 105 of the rotation stop device 97 is inserted into the hole 104 bored in the rotation wall 95 of the installation part 91, and the installation part 91 stop the rotation of
Preparations are made to juxtapose the next golf club G carried by the take-out device 60. Furthermore, when the golf club G is placed in the U-shaped storage section 93, the bin 10 of the rotation stop device 97
5 moves rearward, and at the same time, the drive roller 98 of the drive device 96 rotates to rotationally move the installation part 91 by one U-shaped storage part 93.

Finally, when all of the golf clubs G entered through the entrance 2 of the cleaning device 1 are placed side by side on the turntable device 90, the operation of the entire device is stopped, and the golf clubs G are placed in a golf bag. Complete cleaning.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention provides a cleaning device 1 that includes a cleaning mechanism A that cleans a golf club G, a moving mechanism B that moves the golf club G and cleans it within the cleaning mechanism A, and a cleaning device 1 that is interlocked with the cleaning device 1. Then, a take-out device 60 removes the cleaned golf club G from the moving mechanism B of the cleaning device 1 and transports it to a predetermined position, and the golf club G carried by the take-out device 60 rotates slightly every time it is placed. Since it is comprised of a turntable device 90 for arranging golf clubs G side by side, a plurality of golf clubs G can be cleanly cleaned in an extremely short time.

That is, the cleaning mechanism A of the cleaning device 1 that cleans the golf club G has a cleaning liquid spraying section 23 and a cleaning section 24, and after spraying the cleaning liquid onto the golf club G, brushes the golf club G with the rotating brush 39. Therefore, it is possible to cleanly remove dirt attached to the club. Also,
The cleaning mechanism A includes a first air injection section 25 and a wax application section 26.
Since the wax is sprayed after water droplets are blown away by air jetting, the wax can be evenly applied to the golf club G. Further, the cleaning mechanism A includes a second air injection section 27 and a finishing section 28, and performs a polishing process in which the shaft S and head H of the club are rotated after blowing off excess wax adhering to the golf club G by air injection. Since the cloth 43 is used for polishing, the golf club G can be given shine and gloss.

The moving mechanism B that moves the golf club G into the cleaning mechanism A of the cleaning device 1 includes a rotating drum 4 that rotates horizontally within the cleaning device 1, and a rotating drum 4 that moves the golf club G into the cleaning mechanism A of the cleaning device 1. Since it consists of a chucking part 5 that removably attaches the golf club G to the rotating drum 4 with the grip P in between, the golf club G can be easily attached to the chucking part 5 of the rotating drum 4, and the golf club G can be attached continuously. and can be washed. In addition, the grip P of the golf club G is not damaged.

In this way, when the golf club G is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism A and the moving mechanism B in the cleaning device 1, for example, 14
A set of golf clubs G consisting of books can be cleaned in about 70 seconds, and the golf club G can be cleaned in a very short time.

On the other hand, since a take-out device 60 is provided for removing the cleaned golf club G from the moving mechanism B of the cleaning device 1 and transporting it to a predetermined position, the golf club G that has been cleaned can be immediately removed from the moving mechanism B and the golf club G can be immediately removed from the moving mechanism B. Continuous cleaning is possible. The take-out device 60 includes a front-rear slide section 62 that includes a clamping section 61 that sandwiches the shaft S of the golf club G and moves the golf club G in the front-rear direction, and an up-down slide section that moves the golf club G in the up-down direction. 63
Therefore, the golf club G can be smoothly removed from the moving mechanism B without causing any damage to the club.

Furthermore, since the turntable device 90 is provided to juxtapose the golf clubs G carried by the take-out device 60 one by one, the golf clubs G that have been cleaned can be propped up without being damaged.

The turntable device 90 includes an installation section 91 on which the golf clubs G are arranged side by side, and a base section 9 on which the installation section 91 is rotated.
2, and within this base 92 are a drive device 96 that rotates the installation portion 91 slightly each time a golf club G is placed on the installation portion 91, and a rotation stop device 97 that stops the rotation of the installation portion 91. Because of this provision, when the golf club G carried by the take-out device 60 is set up, the installation section 91 can reliably move and stop, allowing the clubs to be placed side by side in succession.

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of golf clubs G can be cleaned in a very short time, and the configuration is simple, consisting of the cleaning device main body 1, the take-out device 60, and the turntable device 90. Therefore, the entire device does not take up much space, and its manufacturing cost can be kept low, which provides various practical effects.
