Abstract

PURPOSE:To miniaturize the title apparatus by injecting a washing solution and drying air to an object to be washed in two directions by a rotary nozzle. CONSTITUTION:An object W to be washed is placed on one end of a conveyor means 5 in a lateral slide system by a taking in and out means 10. When a start button 44 is pushed, an opening and closing door 4 is opened and the conveyor means 5 is operated to feed the object W to be washed to the fixed position in a washing chamber 2 to stop. Whereupon, the opening and closing door 4 is closed and the washing chamber becomes an isolated state and a rotary nozzle 12 is rotated manually or automatically to inject washing water to enter washing work. When the washing work is completed, a change-over means 21 is operated to inject drying air to the object W to be washed in a rotary state.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an air cleaning and drying device.

(Prior art) For example, when cleaning mechanical parts, etc., ultrasonic cleaning, rocking cleaning, shower cleaning, etc. are used. In other words, the cleaning process involves soaking the items to be cleaned at night. Shower cleaning can generally be said to be aerial cleaning in which cleaning liquid is sprayed onto an object placed in the air. Since rocking cleaning is a method in which the object to be cleaned is rocked during cleaning, it can be used for cleaning both at night and in the air.

(Technical Problem) However, in any of the above cases, if drying is required after washing, a separate drying room must be provided in addition to the washing room.

The present invention provides an aerial cleaning/drying device that can carry out each work process of cleaning, draining, and drying in the same space, and can therefore be miniaturized, can be supplied at low cost, and is easy to maintain and inspect. There is a particular thing.

(Technical means) The purpose of the above is to arrange, drain, and dry the items to be cleaned in the same space, so that the items to be cleaned can be stored in multiple rooms, and the door can be opened and closed from outside the cleaning room by supporting the items to be cleaned. A conveyor means for sending the washing water and dry air into the same room through the air and out of the room, a rotary nozzle for both air and water use that sprays washing water and dry air onto the object to be washed while rotating, and fc western water and dry air from the rotating nozzle. The cleaning liquid and dry air are sprayed from at least two directions among the top, bottom, front, back, and left and right directions onto a fixed object to be cleaned using a rotating nozzle. This can be achieved by an air washing and drying apparatus configured as follows.

(Example) This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a loading/unloading means consisting of a horizontal slide roller for transferring the object W to be cleaned onto the conveyor means 5, and is provided in an outdoor portion of the conveyor means 5. Reference numeral 11 indicates a drive motor for the conveyor means 5.

I2 is a rotating nozzle provided in the cleaning chamber 2, which is used for spraying cleaning water and dry air.
Long and short rotary arms 14a and 14b extending radially from 3 have injection ports 15 attached to their respective tips (Fig. 5).
. As shown in FIG. 4, the injection port 15 is configured to spray cleaning water or the like parallel to the central rotation axis and perpendicularly to the object to be cleaned, or
Depending on the shape of the object to be cleaned, the spray ports can be used to spray at different angles in the right direction, inward direction, or outward direction. The illustrated nozzles 12 are installed at positions above, below, left and right of a working position set approximately in the center of the cleaning chamber 2.

The nozzle installation position may be in any of the six directions, including only up and down, only left and right, only front and rear, or up, down, front, back, left and right.

A supply path 20 for selectively injecting cleaning water and dry air to the rotating nozzle 12 includes a cleaning liquid source 16 and a dry air pressure source 1.

In addition, the nozzle that rotates in the vertical direction inside the nozzle is line number 12A,
The one in the left and right direction is indicated by 12B. Rotating nozzle 12
The cleaning water sprayed is basically industrial water or tap water.
Depending on the shape of the object to be washed and the situation, the washing water may be heated to 40 to 80°C to enhance the cleaning effect, and a neutral alkaline solution may be used as necessary.

(Function) In order to carry out work ranging from washing to drying using the washing and drying apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the object to be washed W is placed on one end of the conveyor means 5 in a horizontal sliding manner by the loading/unloading means IO, and the start button is pressed. 44, the opening/closing door 4 opens, the conveyor means 5 operates, and the object W to be washed is placed in the washing room 2.
It is carried into a fixed position inside and stopped at the same position. Then, the opening/closing door 4 is closed, the room becomes isolated, and the rotating nozzle 12 is activated manually or automatically to spray cleaning water and the cleaning operation begins.

Whether pre-washing with air or steam or washing with washing water, the rotating nozzle 12 sprays washing water etc. toward the object W to be cleaned from the injection port 15 at the tip of the arm that rotates around the central axis. do. During this time, the object to be cleaned is sprayed with air, steam, cleaning water, etc. while rotating from the rotary nozzle 12, aiming at the object W to be cleaned, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. Moreover, since the jetting direction is not uniform and is inclined with respect to the axis, every corner is affected by the cleaning action of the jet stream.

When the cleaning work is completed, the switching valve means 21 is activated and the I2
tQ air is similarly injected onto the object W to be cleaned while rotating. In this case, the water droplets adhering to the object W to be cleaned are first blown off and drained, and then the drying air is spread over the entire object W to be cleaned, quickly bringing it to 121te. When the series of operations associated with cleaning is completed, the opening/closing door 4 is opened, the conveyor means 5 is activated, and the object W to be cleaned is carried outside the room again, and the same operation is repeated thereafter.

(Effects) Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, the cleaning and drying of the object to be cleaned requires two chambers, a cleaning chamber and a drying chamber, when using a conventional device. Since the device of the present invention performs washing and drying in the same space,
The size of the machinery is reduced, the installation space is significantly reduced, and the cleaning and drying times are significantly reduced.
