Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a washing/drying apparatus, and more particularly to a washing/drying apparatus that automatically washes and dries a processing container containing an object to be processed while circulating it in a horizontal plane.

Generally, during the manufacturing and assembly process of electronic parts, precision mechanical parts, etc., foreign substances such as chemicals, oil, and dust adhere. Therefore, it is required to remove such foreign substances when manufacturing the parts is completed.

Therefore, various proposals have been made to remove foreign substances.

However, in the past, equipment for cleaning parts and equipment for drying parts after cleaning were constructed as separate dedicated machines, making it impossible to efficiently perform cleaning and drying at the same time.

Furthermore, in conventional cleaning or drying apparatuses, the parts to be processed are moved in a vertical plane, which poses problems such as difficulty in handling.

Furthermore, in the past, the baskets that housed the parts to be processed were suspended with wires and could not be separated, making it difficult to handle the baskets and requiring manual labor by workers to release the parts to be processed from the baskets. However, there were problems such as the necessity of processing, making it difficult to perform fully automatic processing. In particular, foreign matter removal work is a simple work in a harsh environment involving high temperatures, chemicals, etc., and there is a strong desire to save labor and reduce costs through fully automatic operation.

The cleaning and drying device also includes a cleaning head that cleans and takes out the objects to be processed in the processing container, and a transport mechanism that transfers the processing container between the cleaning heads. Equipped with a holding shaft for holding and a drive means for vertically moving or swinging the holding shaft (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-99669)
There is.

However, in the structure of the washing/drying device described above, a washing head must be provided for each immersion location.
The structure of the cleaning head and conveyance mechanism is complicated,
Moreover, since the processing container is transported via the container shaft, there is a problem that the transport becomes unstable.

Furthermore, as a draining mechanism of the washing dryer,
There is a device (Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-42460) that has a structure in which water droplets adhering to objects to be processed on a conveyor are blown off by jet air and the water is further wiped off with an endless wiping body.

The structure of the draining mechanism described above is suitable for directly washing objects to be processed such as fruits without using a processing container, but when washing objects to be processed stored in a processing container, it is necessary to use jet air and wiping. There was a problem in that it was impossible to drain water using a torimudan.

In addition, as another draining mechanism, the lifting and lowering is stopped when the processing container comes out from the washing water storage surface,
There is a device that drains water by swinging the processing container by driving a reciprocating rod (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-32624).

However, with the structure of the draining mechanism described above, water can be drained by swinging the processing container only when the processing container is suspended by wires, and it is not possible to move the processing container up and down without suspending it by wires. A problem with a draining mechanism having a conveying structure is that it is impossible to drain the water by driving a reciprocating rod.

The present invention has been made by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to completely automate washing, draining and drying, reduce costs, stabilize transportation, improve draining, and improve drying. An object of the present invention is to provide a washing/drying device that can achieve uniformity.

The washing/drying device of the present invention that achieves the above object has the following features:
The cleaning mechanism is disposed on the cleaning tank and has a rail that movably supports the processing container, and a vertical movement cylinder that moves the rail up and down, and the transport mechanism has a transport cylinder that transports the processing container on the rail. The drying mechanism has a partition in which the drying mechanism changes the flow direction in the hot air passage, and the draining mechanism has an inclined part that tilts the processing container in the middle of the conveyance path, and a draining roller that is pressed against the bottom of the processing container during conveyance. The discharge mechanism has a structure including an inversion section that inverts the processing container and discharges the object to be processed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail according to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall plan view of an embodiment of the washing/drying apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an overall plan view thereof.

The cleaning/drying apparatus of this embodiment is configured to transport objects to be processed (cleaned and dried objects) such as electronic parts or precision mechanical parts one by one into a processing container called a bucket in the horizontal direction. All processes such as washing and drying are performed fully automatically.

Therefore, in the washing/drying apparatus of this embodiment, all the processing mechanisms are arranged horizontally in a rectangular round shape on the base 1, and the processing objects are placed in a basket (processing container) 2 waiting at a predetermined position. It has an input section 3 into which a large number of objects to be processed are input.

On the downstream side of this input section (on the right side in Figures 1 and 2), there is a cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning the objects to be processed.
is installed. From the input section 3 to the cleaning mechanism 4,
Further, in order to sequentially transport the baskets 2 from the cleaning mechanism 4 to the downstream side thereof, a conveying mechanism 5 is provided from the side to the upper side of the cleaning mechanism 4.

On the downstream side of the cleaning mechanism 4, a draining mechanism 6 is installed in a direction perpendicular to the cleaning mechanism 4, and the washed basket 2 sent from the cleaning mechanism 4 is passed through the draining mechanism 6. A feeding mechanism 7 for conveying is provided on the side of the draining mechanism 6.

On the downstream side of the draining mechanism 6, the basket 2 that has been drained by the draining mechanism 6 is transferred to a drying mechanism 9.
A feeding mechanism 8 is provided perpendicularly to the draining mechanism 6 for feeding the water.

The drying mechanism 9 is for drying the objects to be processed stored in the basket 2 with hot air, and is arranged parallel to the cleaning mechanism 4.
A plurality of sheets are successively moved in the drying mechanism 9 in a direction opposite to the conveying direction in the cleaning mechanism 4 (to the left in FIG. 1) while being pushed by the feeding mechanism 8.

On the downstream side of this drying mechanism 9 (on the left side in FIG.
A reversing mechanism 11 and a chute 12 are provided, which constitute a discharge mechanism 10 for discharging from the container into a suitable collection container (not shown).

Further, a transfer mechanism 13 for returning the basket 2 from which the material to be processed has been discharged from the discharging position to the inputting section 3 for circulation and reuse is installed at an intermediate outer side between the discharging mechanism 10 and the inputting section 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). (left side of Figure 2)
installed in position.

As described above, in this embodiment, the objects to be processed are sequentially introduced into the baskets 2 by the input section 3, each basket 2 is conveyed from the input section 3 to the cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning, and then drained by the draining mechanism 6. The empty basket 2 is returned to its original position and circulated to the input section 3 by the transfer mechanism 13. Therefore, the objects to be processed are automatically washed and dried while being placed in the basket 2 and moved in a U-shape on a horizontal plane, and since a large number of baskets 2 are used at the same time and are sequentially circulated, Continuous processing is possible.

In addition, in order to control and operate each of the above-mentioned mechanisms,
On one end of the base 1 (the right end in FIGS. 1 and 2), a control operation section 14 containing, for example, a microcomputer is arranged and connected to each mechanism.

Next, details of each of the above mechanisms will be explained.

First of all, the baskets 2 containing the objects to be processed are conveyed to each processing section and used for circulation.
It has a unique structure as illustrated in c.

That is, the basket 2 is made up of a frame 15 having a substantially square planar shape and a net 16 integrally formed with the frame 15, as shown in FIG. 3a.

The frame 15 is made of a heat-resistant and chemical-resistant resin material such as polyester or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), and is transfer-molded together with the net 16.
Its upper and lower surfaces and two opposing sides are open. Further, a flange 17 is integrally formed around the upper end opening of the frame body 15. This flange 17 is supported by a conveying rail in the plane indicated by 17a in FIG. 3b.

On the other hand, the mesh 16 can be made of, for example, a stainless steel wire mesh or a mesh made of a resin material different from that of the frame 15, and as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3c, both ends 16a of the bottom surface are integrally embedded in the lower part of the side wall of the frame 15.

Furthermore, a joint material 18 made of, for example, epoxy resin is coated at the joint between the frame 15 and the net 16 in order to prevent the resin material of the frame 15 from flowing out.

In this way, the basket 2 of this embodiment has a frame body 1.
5 and the net 16 are integrally transfer-molded from different materials. During cleaning, the cleaning water flows into the basket 2 through the net 16, and the objects to be processed in the basket 2 are efficiently cleaned. It is washable, extremely lightweight, and convenient to handle.
Not only is it advantageous in terms of cost, it can also be manufactured with good precision.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the loading section 3 consists of a substantially rectangular loading tank 19, in which each basket 2 sequentially placed is covered from the direction of the arrow through a chute (not shown). Processing material is input. In this case, the chute is movable back and forth, and when loading, it moves forward to the top of the basket 2 in the loading tank 19, but after loading, it moves back away from the basket 2 so as not to interfere with the conveyance of the basket 2. Alternatively, the chute may be a fixed position structure, or the chute may be extended from the left side in FIG.

The basket 2 is provided with two parallel horizontal rails 29 for supporting the basket 2 on the surface 17a of the flange 17 in order to wash and transport the basket 2 in each washing tank of the washing mechanism 4. This rail 29 is divided into four sections according to the length of the cleaning tank.

The rail 29 is supported in each section by a plurality of substantially L-shaped rail brackets 31 attached to stretches 30 extending in the length direction (conveying direction).

On the other hand, this rail bracket 31 is attached to the upper end of a cylinder 33 erected on a common base 32 via a cylinder end fitting 34 and a cylinder end bracket 35. This cylinder 33 moves the rail 29 up and down by a predetermined amount, moving the rail 29 up and down between the conveying position (the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 6) and the cleaning position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 6). During cleaning, the basket 2 that has been lowered into the cleaning water of each cleaning tank is moved up and down little by little to clean the objects to be treated.

In order to guide these vertical movements, hollow guide posts 36 erected on the common base 32 are located on both sides of the cylinder 33, as is particularly clear from FIG. A slide rod 37 is provided through the ball bushing 38 in sliding contact with the ball bushing 38 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The upper end of each slide rod 35 is attached to the rail bracket 31 by a guide end fitting 39.

On the other hand, above the side of the stretch 30,
A transport shaft 40 for transporting the basket 2 in the direction of the arrow in FIGS. 4 and 5 extends horizontally, and this transport shaft 40 is connected to the upper end of a support 41 erected on the common base 32. , plate 42 and bearing 43
It is supported so that it can slide back and forth through the. Because of this reciprocating sliding of the conveyance shaft 40, a cylinder 4
4 is mounted horizontally, and the tip of the rod of the cylinder 44 is fixed to the conveying shaft 40 via a connecting plate 45.

A blower 83 is installed to blow air sucked from the outlet side of the hot air passage 81 to the inlet side of the hot air passage 81 through a duct 84. Further, a heater 85 is provided in the duct 84, in which a resistance heating element made of nichrome wire, tantalum, etc. is passed through a pipe 86 made of stainless steel, etc., and a number of radiation fins 87 are protruded from the outer periphery of the pipe 86. The air passing through 84 is heated and circulated and supplied to the hot air passage 81.

Further, in this embodiment, three and two partitions 88 and 89 are arranged alternately on the back surface of the lid 74 and the top surface of the support plate 77, respectively, so as to extend vertically into the hot air passage 81.

As a result, the flow of hot air in the hot air passage 81 in this embodiment becomes winding in the vertical direction as shown by the arrow 90, and first passes through the net 16 and the space between the objects to be processed from below one basket 2. Then, it hits the back side of the lid 74, is blocked by the central partition 88, passes downward through the basket 2, and is then guided by the partition 89 on the right side (downstream side) in FIG. 2 from below to above, and finally passes through basket 2 from above to below while being guided by a partition 88 on the downstream side, and is sucked into duct 82.

In this way, by passing the hot air alternately from the bottom and top of the basket 2, the moisture adhering to the bottom and top sides of the objects to be processed in the basket 2 is evenly dried, resulting in a good condition. Uniform drying is possible.

By rotating the basket 10 together with the rotating shaft 109 within a range of 180 degrees, the basket 2 with one side of the flange portion 17 held by the chuck pawl 113 is moved to the release position of the release mechanism 10 (the position indicated by the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 13).
From there, it is returned to a predetermined position in the charging tank 19 of the charging section 3, that is, to the next processing object charging position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13). During this transfer operation, basket 2
is maintained in a constant position (horizontal state in this case) by the action of pulleys 115 and 116 and belt 114, allowing stable and reliable transport.

Next, the overall operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When cleaning and drying objects to be processed using the cleaning and drying apparatus of this embodiment, a large number of baskets 2, for example, 30 baskets 2, are arranged in advance so that they can be circulated throughout the cleaning and drying line. At that time, after loading a large number of objects to be processed, such as electronic parts or precision mechanical parts, into the basket 2 located at a predetermined position in the input tank 19 of the input section 3, the basket 2 is transferred to the cleaning mechanism by the transport mechanism 5. 4. Thereafter, the next basket 2 is circulated from the discharge mechanism 10 to a predetermined position in the input tank 19 by the transfer mechanism 13, and the objects to be treated are input and transported to the cleaning mechanism 4 in sequence.

In this way, the basket 2 containing the objects to be processed is transported to the cleaning mechanism 4 first.

23, the rail 29 is moved up and down by the cylinder 33, and the basket 2 is reciprocated up and down in the washing water in small steps. , oil, etc. are removed from the object to be treated.

After performing the specified cleaning, the rail 29 is raised and returned to the conveying position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. . At that time, the next baskets 2 to be cleaned are sequentially carried into the cleaning mechanism 4.

The basket 2 sent to the draining mechanism 6 first passes through the inclined portion 62 of the draining bracket 61 at the entrance of the draining mechanism 6 as the rail 29 descends, as shown in FIG. 9a.
The basket 2 is tilted as shown by the two-dot chain line to drain the water in the basket 2, and then returned to its original horizontal state by the rise of the rail 29. While being conveyed by the feeding mechanism 7, the draining roller 59 is moved to the net 16. By making contact with the bottom surface, water is further removed.

Thereafter, the basket 2 is sequentially fed into the hot air passage 81 of the drying device 9 by the feeding mechanism 8, and is then fed to the blower 83.
The partition 8 separates the hot air heated and supplied by the heater 85.
8 and 89, the basket 2 is passed alternately from below and above, thereby being dried uniformly.

The dried basket 2 is sent to a discharge mechanism 10, and by being turned upside down by an inversion mechanism 11, the objects to be processed are collected from the basket 2 through a chute 12 into a collection container (not shown).

After the basket 2, which has become empty in this way, is returned to its original position, it is transferred to the discharge mechanism 1 by the transfer mechanism 13.
It is returned to a predetermined position in the charging chamber 19 from 0, receives the material to be processed again, and is circulated and reused for cleaning and drying.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the basket 2
Cleaning and drying can be performed automatically while transporting the workpiece placed in the machine horizontally, and the device is also compact.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various other modifications are possible.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to electronic parts or precision mechanical parts, but can be widely applied to items that require cleaning and drying of foreign substances such as chemicals, oil, dust, abrasives, cutting powder, and hand grime.

As explained above, according to the present invention, all operations from inputting the material to be processed to cleaning, drying, and recovery can be performed automatically and efficiently. , dryness is obtained;
In addition, since both cleaning and drying can be performed while the objects to be processed are placed in separate processing containers and circulated horizontally, handling of the objects to be processed can be made easier and labor-saving, and the equipment itself is compact and At low cost,
Immediate response of existing equipment is achieved.

In addition, since the transport mechanism has a structure in which the processing container is transported on rails using a transport cylinder, transport can be stabilized and the structure can be simplified.

Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism has a structure that includes a rail that movably supports the processing container and a vertical cylinder that moves the rail up and down, so there is no need to provide a vertical cylinder at each immersion location. The structure is simple, and the objects to be processed can be immersed in the cleaning pot in each processing container using a vertically moving cylinder, and cleaning can be performed by the vertically moving cylinder.

In addition, the draining mechanism has a structure that includes an inclined part that tilts the processing container in the middle of the conveyance path, and a draining roller that is pressed against the bottom of the processing container that is being conveyed. The object to be processed in the processing container can be drained easily and satisfactorily.

Furthermore, since the drying mechanism has a structure in which the hot air passage is provided with a partition that changes the flow direction, the hot air can be uniformly passed through the object to be processed in the processing container, thereby making it possible to uniformly dry the object.

In addition, the discharge mechanism has a structure that includes an inversion part that inverts the processing container and discharges the processing object, so it is easier to remove the processing object inside the processing container compared to a conventional processing container with a shaft. can be released to
