No. 58-58181, etc., the cleaning is carried out while moving the object to be cleaned from side to side with respect to the floor surface. Therefore, cleaning work cannot be carried out without using large equipment that occupies an extremely large floor area.Also, considering the large equipment, the contact distance between the object to be cleaned and the cleaning steam is short, and the distance between Since cleaning is performed repeatedly with a cleaning solution of 100%, the cleaning operation is performed using a contaminated cleaning solution, making it difficult to perform the cleaning operation reliably and quickly.

Problems that the invention attempts to solve The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a device that occupies a small floor space.
It is intended to enable sufficient contact between the cleaning steam and the object to be cleaned, to realize a simple and reliable cleaning operation, and to ensure that the object to be cleaned is cleaned with a clean cleaning liquid.

Means for solving the problems In order to solve the problems mentioned above, the present invention
A cylindrical body is formed whose lower end serves as an inlet for the object to be cleaned, and an outlet for the object to be cleaned at the upper end serves as a cooling area for steam condensation, and the inlet of this cylindrical body is inserted into the cleaning liquid of the cleaning tank. At the same time, a spout for clean cleaning liquid is formed inside the side surface of the cylindrical body, and a clean area where the clean cleaning liquid spouted from this spout stays is formed at the insertion part of the covering cylinder into the cleaning liquid, and a cooling area is formed between the spout and the cleaning liquid. A steam cleaning section connected to a steam generation tank is formed between the zones.

Function The present invention is configured as described above, and the object to be cleaned, which has been preliminarily cleaned with the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, is introduced into the cylindrical main body from the inlet. The cleaning liquid spouted from the spout stays in the inlet of the cylindrical body inserted into the cleaning liquid of the cleaning tank.
A clean area is formed in the inlet of the cylindrical body in which a clean cleaning liquid that is kept cleaner than the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank stays. Therefore, after preliminary cleaning with the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, clean cleaning can be performed in this clean area, making it possible to perform preliminary cleaning and clean cleaning in the same cleaning tank. Furthermore, if the cleaning liquid is retained in the inlet of the cylindrical body inserted into the cleaning liquid of the cleaning tank after coming into contact with the object to be cleaned,
Intermediate cleaning can be carried out in the clean area, and finishing of the liquid cleaning can also be performed using the cleaning liquid jetted out from the spout, making it possible to perform efficient liquid cleaning work.

Further, the object to be cleaned which has been completely cleaned with liquid can be continuously steam-cleaned by the cleaning steam flowing in from the side surface of the cylindrical body. This steam cleaning is performed during the process of transferring the object to be cleaned from the lower end to the upper end of the cylindrical body, so it is much easier to clean than the conventional method in which the object to be cleaned is transferred from side to side. The dedicated floor area of the device can be made extremely small, and by extending the cylindrical body in the vertical direction, a large transfer distance of the object to be cleaned can be obtained with a small floor area, and the object to be cleaned and the cleaning steam can be This allows sufficient contact with the Further, since a cooling region for steam condensation is provided toward the upper end of the cylindrical body, it is possible to prevent cleaning steam from diffusing to the outside.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a cylindrical body, the lower end is an inlet 3 for the object 2 to be cleaned, and the upper end is the outlet 4 for the object 2 to be cleaned; A means 5 for transporting the object to be cleaned 2 is formed from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4. This transport means 5
can be selected arbitrarily; however, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. , it is suitable for cleaning work such as the object 2 to be cleaned which is not formed in a long shape and has an independent shape. When this mesh conveyor 6 is selected as the transfer means 5, the cylindrical body 1 is installed not in an upright position but at a certain degree of inclination in order to prevent the objects 2 to be cleaned from falling or slipping down. In this case as well, it is desirable to reduce the floor area by making the cylindrical main body 1 at an angle close to perpendicular to the floor surface 7 as long as there is no problem in transporting the object 2 to be cleaned. Further, a support stand 8 and support legs 10 are connected to the cylindrical body 1 to stably support the cylindrical body 1, and the support stand 8 supports the mesh conveyor 6 of the transfer means 5. The pulley 11 is pivotally supported. Further, the cylindrical main body 1 has an introduction port 3 inserted into the cleaning liquid 13 of the cleaning tank 12, and this cleaning liquid 1
3, the object 2 to be cleaned is introduced into the interior, and a spout 16 for a clean cleaning liquid 15 is protruded inward from the side surface, and this spout 16 supplies the clean cleaning liquid 15 to a supply section via a pump 14 Connect the pipe 17,
The cleaning liquid 15 is sprayed onto the object 2 to be cleaned that is transferred by the mesh conveyor 6 to perform shower cleaning, thereby completing the liquid cleaning. Further, the clean cleaning liquid 15 that has spouted out from the spout 16 and has come into contact with the object 2 to be cleaned stays inside the insertion part 18 of the cylindrical body 1 into the cleaning liquid 13, and the clean area 20 of the cleaning liquid 13 is

Further, a cooling area 21 for condensing steam is provided with a cooling coil at the outlet 4 of the cylindrical body 1, and a steam generating tank 22 is provided between this cooling area 21 and the jet port 16 of the cleaning liquid 15. A steam cleaning section 23 is formed which is connected to the steam cleaning section 23. This steam cleaning section 23 is formed by spouting cleaning steam from a cleaning steam inlet 25 connected to the steam generation tank 22 via a steam outlet pipe 24.

In the above embodiment, the mesh conveyor 6 was used as the transfer means 5, but in other embodiments, a pulley 26 was used as the inlet 3 of the cylindrical body 1, as shown in FIG. It is provided in the outlet 4 and formed. In this case, the object to be cleaned 2 is a long object such as a long plate or a long sheet, and a winding roll around which these long objects are wound is provided on the supply side of the object to be cleaned 2. At the same time, on the opposite side, there is located a take-up roll for winding up the long object that has been cleaned. In this embodiment, since there is no risk of the object 2 to be cleaned falling, it is desirable that the cylindrical body 1 be positioned perpendicularly to the floor surface 7 and that the area occupied by the floor surface 7 be minimized. .

Further, in the above two embodiments, the cooling region 21 for condensing steam was formed by a cooling coil fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical body 1, but the cooling region 21 may be formed using any conventionally known mechanism. One of the possibilities is to form the cooling zone 21 with a double wall, and to make the cooling zone 21 by flowing cooling water through the gap between the double walls. Furthermore, in a different method, an outlet for discharging steam is opened in the cylindrical body 1 of the cooling zone 21, and the steam discharged from the outlet is guided through an outlet pipe to a cooling chamber cooled by a cooling coil or the like. , a condensation method can be used.

In each of the above embodiments, the cleaning liquid 15 is
Although it is assumed that the water flows into the clean area 20 after contacting the object 2 to be cleaned, it may flow directly into the clean area 20 without contacting the object 2 to be cleaned.
