Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a washing machine, and particularly to a washing machine suitable for washing pig heads (hereinafter referred to as pig heads).

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, to clean a pig's head, the skin is first removed to remove body hair and large debris, and then high-pressure water is sprayed onto the pig's head using a high-pressure washer that sprays water at high pressure. I was doing cleaning work.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with the method using a high-pressure washer, the cleaning effect is low, and the high-pressure washer is difficult to operate because the water jets out so vigorously that it is difficult to remove fine dust and hard-to-see white hair. There were many cases where there wasn't one. Therefore, after washing with water, another operation was required to manually remove the remaining deposits under a special fluorescent lamp.

Furthermore, with the method using a high-pressure washer, even if one worker worked in one day, he could only process about 250 pieces, making it impossible to fully meet the orders from meat processing companies.

Furthermore, it required approximately 80 tons of water to wash one pig's head, so if, for example, 570 pigs' heads were to be washed in a day, a large amount of water, 60 tons, would be required. Not only did it not comply with requests for resource conservation, but it also risked violating laws and regulations regarding wastewater volume.

The present invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a washing machine that can achieve high cleaning effects with a small amount of washing water and dramatically increase the number of items that can be washed. do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the cleaning machine of the present invention includes a water tank containing a predetermined liquid, and a rotating body partially immersed in the liquid in the water tank. , a support for an object to be cleaned disposed near the rotating body, a plurality of blades for scraping up the liquid in the water tank onto the support for the object to be cleaned, and a support for the object to be cleaned on the support for the object to be cleaned. a rolling means for hooking and rotating an object;
A draining member that drops the liquid scooped up onto the object support into the water tank, and a draining member that splashes the object carried onto the draining member by the liquid flow on the object support. the blades are provided at predetermined intervals along the outer periphery of the roller, the flip-up members are provided on the outer periphery of the end of the rotary body, and The draining members substantially face each other, and the object support has a surface that substantially faces the rotating body and is inclined with respect to the liquid level.

(Function) A part of the rotating body is immersed in the liquid in the water tank, a plurality of blades are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating body, and a rolling means is provided. On the other hand, a support for the object to be cleaned, which faces the rotating body and has a surface inclined with respect to the liquid level, is disposed near the rotating body. Therefore, when the object to be cleaned is placed on the object support and the rotating body is rotated, the blades scrape up the liquid in the water tank onto the object support, and the rolling means rotates the object to be cleaned on the object support in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating body. As a result, the object to be cleaned is rotated and washed with water.

Since the plurality of blades are provided at predetermined intervals along the outer periphery of the rotating body, the liquid in the water tank is continuously scraped up onto the object support when the rotating body rotates. be. Therefore,
A liquid flow along the central axis of the rotating body is generated on the object support, and the liquid on the object support falls into the water tank through a draining member adjacent to a side of the object support. At the same time, the object to be cleaned is carried by the liquid flow from the object support to the draining member.

A flip-up member is provided on the outer periphery of the end of the rotating body, and the end of the rotating body and the draining member are substantially opposed to each other. Therefore, due to the rotation of the rotating body, the flip-up member flips up the object to be cleaned on the draining member, and the flipped-up object to be cleaned falls to a predetermined location, completing the cleaning.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof.

In the figure, 1 is a water tank, which contains water (liquid) 2 used for cleaning a pig's head (an object to be cleaned), which is not shown. Approximately half of the opening surface of this aquarium 1 is covered with a roller cover 4a to prevent splashing of water, and the remaining half is covered with a plate 5 parallel to the water surface (liquid surface) 8.
covered by. The roller cover 4a is the water tank 1
It swells greatly upwards to form a chamber (third
figure). An insertion opening 6 for inserting a pig's head into the inside of the cover is provided on the side surface of the roller cover 4a, and a notch hole 7 is provided on the front of the roller cover 4a for taking out a washed pig's head from inside the cover. be. This notch hole 7 faces the end portion 3a of the roll 3. The insertion port 6 is provided with an insertion stand 9 having a surface slanted toward the water surface 8 to facilitate insertion of the pig's head. Further, a guard 10 is provided around the plate 5.

At the upper part of the aquarium 1, there is a roll cover 4a.
A cylindrical roller (rotating body) 3 is arranged inside, and both ends of the shaft 11 of the roller 3 are
Bearings 1 fixed to each side of the roller cover 4a
It is rotatably supported by 2 and 12. In addition, the water in the tank 1 is always kept at the bottom of the roller 3.
The water level is set to submerge inside the water. Four blades 13a to 13d are provided on the outer periphery of the roller 3 at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction. Among the four blades 13a to 13d, one blade (rolling means) 13d has a sawtooth wave shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The blades 13a to 13c mainly have the function of scooping up water in the water tank 1 onto the cleaning object support plate 4b, which will be described later, whereas the blades 13d mainly serve to scrape up water in the water tank 1 onto the cleaning object support plate 4b, which will be described later. It functions to rotate the upper pig's head in the opposite direction to the roller 3. That is, when the roller 3 rotates, the blade 1
3a to 13c simply scrape up the pig's head from below, whereas the blade 13d hooks with its sharp tip and lifts the pig's head from the bottom to the top and rotates it.

In the vicinity of the blade 13b, there is provided a flip-up member 15 for flipping up a pig's head on a draining net (draining member) 14, which will be described later, onto the plate 5 through a cutout hole 7. This flip-up member 15 is formed by forming a metal rod into a U-shape. Moreover, the flip-up member 15 has a blade 13b.
It is adjacent to the blade 13b in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIG. 5, the draining net 14 is a wire netting and is adjacent to the object support plate 4b and substantially opposed to the roller end 3a. This draining net 14 is for guiding the water scooped up onto the support plate 14b for the object to be washed into the water tank 1, and also for draining the pig's head carried by the water flow generated on the support plate 4b for the object to be washed. It also has the function of temporarily holding it.

An object support plate 4b is arranged near the roller. In this embodiment, the object support plate 4b is integrally formed with the roller cover 4a.
As shown in FIG. 3, it has a surface that substantially opposes the roller 3 and slopes in a gentle curve with respect to the water surface 8.

A table 18 is connected to the water tank 1 via angle members 16 and 17. A rotating brush 19 is arranged above the table 18 for intensively cleaning the throat and other parts of the pig's head that have been thrown up on the plate 5. This rotating brush 19
is covered by a brush cover 20. The rotating brush 19 has a diameter of about 1 mm, as shown in FIG. 4a.
It consists of a flocked part 19a (FIG. 4b) in which about 200 synthetic fibers are bundled with a stainless steel annular fitting, and a roller part 19b on which this flocked part 19a is planted.
The flocked portions 19a are planted at regular intervals along the circumferential direction of the roller portion 19b, and are also arranged in five rows (one row in the center of two rows on both sides) along the axial direction (Fig. 4). a).

Above the angle members 16 and 17 that connect the water tank 1 and the table 18, as shown in FIG. is converted into the desired rotational speed and power, and the shafts 11 and 2 of the roller 3 and the rotating brush 19 are
A transmission 23 that transmits information to the 2 is arranged. The motor 21 is supported by an angle member 24. The shaft 25 of the motor 21, the shaft 22 of the rotating brush 19, and the shaft 11 of the roller 3 are parallel to each other. Shaft 22 of rotating brush 19
protrudes toward the roller cover 4a side, and a pulley 26 and a transmission 23 are attached to this protruding shaft 22.
and a pulley 27 are provided. The transmission 23 is located between pulleys 26 and 27 on both sides. A belt 29 is placed between the pulley 27 and a pulley 28 provided at the tip of the shaft 25 of the motor 21. Further, a belt 31 is placed between the pulley 26 and a pulley 30 provided at one end of the shaft 11 of the roller 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, fill the water tank 1 with water until it reaches a predetermined water level, operate the lever of the transmission 23 so that the desired power and rotation speed are transmitted from the motor 21 to the roller 3 side, and turn on the power switch (not shown). ) to supply power to the motor 21. When the motor 21 rotates, the rotational force of the motor 21 is transmitted to the shaft 22 by the belt 29 stretched between the pulleys 27 and 28, and the rotating brush 19 rotates. Also, pulley 2
The motor 21 is connected to the motor 21 by the belt 31 hung between 6 and 30.
The rotational force is transmitted to the shaft 11, and the roller 3 rotates.

Next, the pig head placed on the insertion table 9 is dropped from the insertion port 6 onto the object support plate 4b. The dropped pig's head is supported by the object support plate 4b and the roller 3, and when the roller 3 rotates, the blades 13a to 13c scrape up the water 2 onto the object support plate 4b, and the blade 1
3d rotates the pig's head on the object support plate 4b in the opposite direction of rotation of the roller 3. The filth, etc. with heavy specific gravity adhering to the pig's head accumulates at the bottom of the water tank 1, and the filth, etc. with light specific gravity accumulates on the water surface 8. Since a part of the roller 3 is immersed deep below the water surface 8, clean water is always scraped up onto the object support plate 4b.
Therefore, the entire pig's head is rotated and washed while being bathed in clean water 2.

Further, since the blades 13a to 13c are provided at predetermined intervals along the outer circumference of the roller 3,
During the rotation, the water 2 in the water tank 1 is continuously raked up onto the object support plate 4b. Therefore, a water flow along the central axis of the roller 3 is generated on the object support plate 4b, and the water 2 on the object support plate 4b passes through the draining net 14 adjacent to the side of the object support plate 4b. At the same time as the pig's head falls into the water tank 1, the pig's head is carried from the object support plate 4b onto the draining net 14 by the water flow.

The pig's head guided onto the draining net 14 is flipped up by a flip-up member 15, and the jumped-up pig's head jumps out of the cutout hole 7 and falls onto the board 5.

Finally, the pig's head on the board 5 is placed on the table 18, and specific parts such as the throat are brushed with the rotating brush 19 for final cleaning.

According to the washing machine of this embodiment, since the rotating brush 19 is also provided as a part of the washing machine, washing with water and finishing work can be carried out continuously without the operator having to move. motor 2
Since the roller 3 and rotating brush 19 are rotated in step 1, costs can be reduced compared to the case where devices are manufactured, purchased and used for each task.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, a configuration in which the rotating brush 19 is also a part of the cleaning machine is adopted, but the present invention may be a cleaning machine that does not adopt such a configuration.
In the above embodiment, water 2 is used as a liquid, a cylindrical roller 3 is used as a rotating body, an object support 4b is used as an object support, a blade 13d with a saw-shaped tip is used as a rolling means, and a draining member is used as a draining member. Although we have described cases in which the draining net 14 and the like are used, these are only specific examples.
The scope of the present invention is not limited to these. Furthermore, the cleaning machine of the present invention may be used for cleaning other than pig heads.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the cleaning machine of the present invention includes a water tank containing a predetermined liquid, a rotating body partially immersed in the liquid in the water tank, and a rotating body that is partially immersed in the liquid in the water tank. an object support disposed near the object support, a plurality of blades for scraping up the liquid in the water tank onto the object support, and a plurality of blades for pulling the object on the object support. a rolling means for hanging and rotating;
A draining member that drops the liquid scooped up onto the object support into the water tank, and a draining member that splashes the object carried onto the draining member by the liquid flow on the object support. the blades are provided at predetermined intervals along the outer periphery of the roller, the flip-up members are provided on the outer periphery of the end of the rotary body, and Since the draining members substantially face each other, and the object support has a surface that substantially faces the rotating body and is inclined with respect to the liquid level, the objects to be washed can be cleaned automatically without manual intervention. It is possible to clean quickly and efficiently, and the cleaning effect is extremely excellent, and the amount of water required for cleaning is small.
Therefore, it is possible to omit the work of manually removing white hair that cannot be completely removed under a special fluorescent lamp after cleaning (a work that puts a lot of strain on the eyes of the worker), thereby reducing the labor of the worker. It is possible to significantly reduce the amount of waste, dramatically increase the number of items to be washed, save a large amount of water, and eliminate the risk of violating regulations regarding the amount of waste water.
