Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sheet-like cleaning tool used, for example, to clean dirt adhering to a card transport device of a card league that reads information stored on cards. It is.

[Prior Art] For example, a card type telephone is provided with a card league that reads the number of calls stored on a magnetic card. As shown in FIG. 4, this type of telephone is usually provided with an insertion slot 5a and a return slot 5b on the front surface of the telephone 4, respectively, for inserting and ejecting a magnetic card. Incidentally, some devices have a single insertion port 5a and a return port 5b that are shared. Furthermore, inside the telephone, a conveying device 6 as shown in FIG. 5 is provided at positions facing the insertion port 5a and the return port 5b, respectively. This conveying device 6 consists of a pair of upper and lower endless belts 7.7, each of which is stretched by a roller 8 at both ends, and a rubber roller.The rotation of the roller 8 holds the magnetic card between the endless belt 7.7 and the rubber roller. It is designed to be transported by

However, the belt 7 and the rubber rollers may get dirty due to long-term use or when dust or the like enters the inside through the insertion port 5a or the return port 5b. As a result, dirt may adhere to the magnetic card, and the magnetic card may not be smoothly conveyed by the belt 7 and the rubber rollers. For this reason, it is sometimes necessary to clean the belt 7 and the rubber rollers, but conventionally, a unit (not shown) to which the conveying device 6 is attached is removed from the main body of the telephone 4 to clean the bell door and the rubber rollers.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, conventionally, in order to clean the belt 7 and rubber roller of the conveying device 6 provided in the card league of the telephone 4, the unit to which the conveying device 6 is attached is attached to the telephone. 4 It had to be removed from the main body, which caused the problem of poor workability.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant had previously proposed a sheet-like cleaning tool as shown in FIG.
(See No. 763).

This sheet-like cleaning tool 9 is formed into a card shape by applying thermosetting resin 11 such as epoxy resin to a predetermined width around a liquid-absorbing member 10 soaked with cleaning liquid, and then heat-treating it. When cleaning the belt 7 in the device 6, the sheet-like cleaning tool 9 is soaked in a cleaning solvent such as alcohol and then fixed with a finger or the like so that the card stops inside the transport device.

Thereafter, by driving the belt 7 and rubber roller of the conveying device 6, dirt on the belt 7 and rubber roller is rubbed against the liquid absorbing member 10 portion of the card 9.

However, in this type of sheet-like cleaning tool 9, since a non-woven fabric is used for the liquid-absorbing member 10 forming the cleaning part, it expands and bulges as soon as it absorbs alcohol, causing the card 9 to get caught in the exit 5. There was a problem that it could not be guided into the inside of the conveying device 6, and if it was made too thin, it would break and would not function as a cleaning section. In addition, since the nonwoven fabric has a small surface roughness and is soft, dirt firmly attached to the belt 7 and the rubber roller cannot be easily removed.

By the way, in order to remove firmly adhered dirt, it is possible to use a mesh-like hard sheet with a large surface roughness for the cleaning part of a sheet-like cleaning tool, but since the holding capacity of cleaning solvent is low, a stable cleaning effect cannot be obtained. The problem is that there is no.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a sheet-like cleaning tool that can clean firmly adhered dirt with a sufficient cleaning effect. It is in.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a sheet-like cleaning tool according to the present invention comprises: a liquid-absorbing member soaked with a cleaning liquid; a net-like sheet sandwiching the liquid-absorbing member; The present invention is characterized by comprising a sheet-like guide member surrounding the net-like sheet.

[Function] Sufficient cleaning liquid is retained by the liquid-absorbing member 2 interposed between the net-like sheets 3, and during cleaning, the cleaning liquid that has permeated the liquid-absorbing member 2 seeps out from the net-like sheet 3 and is absorbed by the net-like sheet 3. Dirt is scraped off on both sides.

[Embodiment j Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the sheet-like cleaning tool according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same card.

The sheet-like cleaning tool according to this embodiment is used, for example, when cleaning dirt on a conveying device in a card league, and also includes a card-like member l as a sheet-like guide member, a liquid-absorbing member 2, and a hard sheet 3. has been done.

The card-like member 1 includes a card body 1a and a card body 1.
The stopper portion 1b is integrally formed continuously with the card body 1a and has a width wider than the width of the card body 1a.

The stopper portion 1b is provided to prevent the card body 1a from being drawn into the device by the drive of the conveyance device 6 when the card body 1a is inserted from the exit 5. This eliminates the trouble of holding one end of the main body 1a with a finger or the like. Further, when the stopper portion ib is in contact with the exit 5, the surfaces of the belt 7 and the rubber roller of the conveyance device 6 are in sliding contact with the hard sheets 3 provided on both sides of the liquid absorbent member 20.

The liquid-absorbing member 2 is made of a nonwoven fabric made of an ester-based material with excellent liquid-absorbing properties, and is placed facing the belt 7 and rubber roller to be cleaned when the card body 1a is inserted into the conveying device 6. It is provided in a mounting hole 1c formed at a predetermined position of the card body 1a so that the card body 1a has a mounting hole 1c formed at a predetermined position.

The hard sheet 3 is provided on both sides of the liquid-absorbent member 2 in a superimposed manner, and is fixed to the card body 1a together with the liquid-absorbent member 2, and is made of, for example, a polyester net-like sheet whose surface is hardened with a thermosetting resin. The dirt attached to the belt 7 and the rubber roller is scraped off.

Next, the function of the sheet-like cleaning tool configured as described above will be explained based on FIG. 3, taking as an example the case where a belt of a conveyance device is cleaned.

When the tip of the card body 1a is inserted into the card insertion slot 5a, a card position detection section (not shown) detects the card body 1a, and the roller 8 starts rotating in the same way as when a magnetic card is inserted, and the endless belt 7 .7 respectively run in the direction of arrow A in the figure.

At this time, since the stopper 1b integrally formed on one end of the card body 1a protrudes from the slot 5a, the card body 1a is not drawn deep inside the device.
The surface of the belt 7 is in sliding contact with the hard sheets 3 provided on both sides of the liquid absorbent member 2.

In this state, the alcohol soaked into the liquid-absorbing member 2 oozes out from the hard sheet 3, and the dirt adhering to the entire surface of the pair of belts 7.7 is lifted up, and the hard sheet 3 scrapes off the dirt.

Note that when inserting the card body 1a from the card insertion slot 5a and ejecting it from the card return slot 5b, pressing the card body 1a to prevent it from being pushed out from the card return slot 5b can be done in the same way as in the case described above. The surface of the belt 7 can be cleaned.

Therefore, according to the embodiment described above, the belt 7 and the rubber rollers provided on the conveying device 6 can be cleaned without removing the unit of the conveying device 6 of the card league from the main body of the telephone 4 as in the conventional case. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the conveying force due to the dirt in No. 6 and the occurrence of dirt on the magnetic card, and it is possible to improve the workability of cleaning the card league. Further, when cleaning, the cleaning solvent necessary for cleaning is sufficiently retained by the liquid absorbent member 2, and the cleaning solvent that seeps out from the liquid absorbent member 2 when the card is inserted will cause the belt 7 to
Oil, dirt, etc. adhering to the rubber rollers are lifted up, and hard stains adhering to the belt 7 and rubber rollers are also scraped off by the hard sheet 3, so the cleaning effect is improved compared to conventional sheet-like cleaning tools.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where dirt attached to the belt 7 and rubber roller of the conveying device 6 in a card league is cleaned is explained as an example, but it can also be applied to a head-moving type telephone.In this case, the card body 1a By removing the stopper 1b integrally formed with the card body 1a,
By moving the head once it has been guided to a predetermined position inside the apparatus, it becomes possible to clean the dirt adhering to the head instead of the belt 7 and rubber roller described above.

Furthermore, the object to be cleaned is not limited to the conveyance device of the card league, but can also be applied to devices such as bank cash dispensers and ticket vending machines.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the sheet-like cleaning tool of the present invention, the cleaning solvent necessary for cleaning can be sufficiently retained by the absorbent member, and the hard sheet can also scrape off stubborn dirt. The cleaning effect can be sufficiently improved compared to the conventional method.
