Abstract

PURPOSE:To rapidly and sufficiently clean the whole front and rear of a carpet in a dry state by forming the cleaner with a conveyor for conveying a clamped carpet, a vacuum device opposed to one side of a conveying path and a vibrator set on the opposite side of the vacuum device with the path in between. CONSTITUTION:A carpet 1 clamped and conveyed by a conveyor 2 is vibrated by a vibrator 30 from one side, and dust is sucked and removed by a vacuum device 20 from the other side. Since the carpet 1 clamped and conveyed by the conveyor 2 is vibrated by the vibrator 30, the deposit on the carpet 1 is released, dirt and dust are floated and detached, the deposit, dirt and dust are immediately sucked and removed by the vacuum device, and the whole front and rear of the carpet is rapidly and sufficiently cleaned in a dry state.

[Detailed description of the invention]

[000L]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rug cleaner used for cleaning carpets, mats, etc. installed at gas stations and used in automobiles, for example. [0002]

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to clean rugs such as carpets and mats used in automobiles, the rugs were taken out of the car and washed with water, or a cleaner itself was brought into the car and removed by suction. This was done by pulling the cleaner nozzle into the car and placing it against the rug. [0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above-mentioned conventional washing method, it takes too long to dry,
There is a problem that it damages the rug. Further, the cleaner method has a problem in that it is not possible to thoroughly clean the entire front and back surfaces. An object of the present invention is to provide a rug cleaner that can quickly and thoroughly clean the entire front and back surfaces in a dry state. [0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the rug cleaner of the present invention comprises: a conveying device for holding and conveying a rug; a vacuum device disposed opposite to one of the conveying paths; It consists of a vibrator disposed on the opposite side of the vacuum device with respect to the conveyance path. [0005]

[Operation] According to the structure of the present invention, the vibrator applies vibration to the rug being carried by the conveying device, thereby loosening the adhered substances on the rug and lifting off dirt and dust. The deposits, dirt, and dust can be immediately removed by suction using a vacuum device. [oo06]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The conveying device 2 that clamps and conveys the mat (which is an example of a rug and may be a pile of paper) 1 is of a clamping conveyor type consisting of an upper conveyor 3 and a lower conveyor 4. , 4 is composed of driving wheel bodies 5, 6 and driven wheel bodies 7, 8 distributed in the front-rear direction, and belts 9, 10 stretched between these wheel bodies 5, 7, 6, 8. [0007] Both conveyors 3 and 4 are plural (three in the embodiment) in the left and right (width) direction, and rod-shaped guide bodies 11J2 are provided between the left and right conveyors 3 and 4 and on the outside of the conveyors 3 and 4, respectively. is installed. Here, the starting ends of both guide bodies 11 and 12 are formed into receiving parts 11a and 12a which are open in a trumpet shape at the top and bottom, and the terminal end of the lower guide body 12 is formed into a receiving part which is deformed into a V-shape. It is formed in L2b. Further, the drive shafts 13, 14 to which the drive wheel bodies 5, 6 are attached are linked to a common drive device 16 via a gear mechanism 15 or the like. [0008] A vacuum device 20 is disposed below, and a vibrator 30 is disposed above, across the conveyance path formed by the conveyance device 1 configured as described above. That is, the vacuum device 20 includes a hopper-shaped nozzle portion 21 that is close to or in contact with the lower surface of the mat 1, and a hopper-shaped nozzle portion 21 that
1, a dust collecting tank 23 fitted into the large diameter cylindrical part 22 from below, and a vacuum pump 24 communicating with the lower part of the dust collecting tank 23. At this time, a filter 25 is interposed between the large-diameter cylindrical portion 22 and the dust collection tank 23. [0009] The vibrator 30 is disposed facing the nozzle portion 21 from above, and applies vibration using an air type or an electric type. Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. When cleaning the mat 1, the drive device 16 operates the conveying device 2 and the vacuum pump 24 is operated. In this state, the mat 1 is inserted between the starting ends of both conveyors 3.4 using the guides of the receiving sections 11a and 12a, with its dirty side facing down. Then, mat 1 has both belts 9,
It is conveyed downstream along the conveyance route while being held between the ten groups. When the mat 1 reaches the vibrator 30, vibrations are applied to the mat 1 from above, which loosens the deposits on the mat 1 and removes dirt (sand, pebbles).
Removes dirt and dust in a raised form. At the same time, a suction force is applied to the mat 1 from below, and the deposits, dirt, and dust are suctioned and removed from the nozzle part 21 to the large-diameter cylindrical part 22, and then collected in the filter 25 of the dust collection tank 23. Ru. [00101] The mat 1 thus sandwiched and conveyed by both conveyors 3 and 4 is cleaned of adhesion, dirt, and dust during its conveyance, and then the mat 1 is taken out to the receiving section 12b. [00111] [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the vibrator applies vibration to the rug being held and transported by the transport device, thereby loosening deposits on the rug and lifting dirt and dust. It can be detached in a
The deposits, dirt, and dust can be immediately removed by suction using a vacuum device. This allows the rug to be quickly and thoroughly cleaned on both the front and back sides in a dry state.
