Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hoop material cleaning apparatus used for feeding a hoop material and cleaning the hoop material with a cleaning solvent.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional hoop material cleaning apparatus, as shown in FIG. 4, a cleaning solvent is put in a cleaning tank a, the hoop material 1 is passed through the cleaning tank a, and the hoop material 1 is cleaned with the cleaning solvent. Has become.

[0003]

However, when the cleaning tank a as in the above-mentioned conventional example is used, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large and a large amount of cleaning solvent is required. If a separate drying device is provided to dry the washed hoop material 1, there is a problem that the device becomes larger.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the size of the apparatus, reduce the amount of cleaning solvent used, and further to dry the hoop material. In order to provide a material cleaning device.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the hoop material cleaning apparatus of the present invention forms a cleaning pipe 2 by bending a square pipe into a substantially U shape, and inserts the hoop material 1 through the cleaning pipe 2. The inlet 3 is provided at one end of the cleaning pipe 2 and the outlet 4 of the hoop material 1 is provided at the other end of the cleaning pipe 2, the cleaning solvent is loaded at the bottom of the cleaning pipe 2, and the hoop material is provided before the outlet 4 of the cleaning pipe 2. 1 is provided with a drying means for blowing warm air to dry the hoop material 1.

[0006]

According to the above construction, the hoop material 1 is inserted from the inlet 3 while the cleaning solvent is loaded in the substantially U-shaped cleaning pipe 2, the hoop material 1 is passed through the cleaning pipe 2, and the hoop material 1 is discharged from the outlet 4. By removing the hoop material, the hoop material 1 can be washed with a washing solvent and dried. Further, since the cleaning pipe 2 has a substantially U shape, it can be made smaller and lighter in weight than a conventional cleaning tank. Furthermore, the amount of cleaning solvent to be loaded can be reduced.

[0007]

EXAMPLE A cleaning pipe 2 is formed by bending a square pipe into a substantially U shape, and the cleaning pipe 2 is supported by a mount 5. One end of the cleaning pipe 2 is an inlet 3, and the other end of the cleaning pipe 2 is an outlet 4. At the bottom of the cleaning pipe 2, 40
The cleaning solvent is loaded at a temperature of about 50 ° C. The cleaning solvent is, for example, trichloroethane, but may be water or an alkaline detergent. An inlet side lid 6 is attached to the inlet 3 side of the cleaning pipe 2, and the inlet side lid 6 is provided with an introduction slit 6a. Further, the entrance side lid 6 is provided with an introduction guide 7 for guiding it to the introduction slit 6a. Below the inlet 3, the cleaning pipe 2 is provided with a level gauge 8 for confirming the level of the cleaning solvent. A solvent outlet 9 for discharging the cleaning solvent for the waste liquid is provided at the bottom of the cleaning pipe 2, and the dirty cleaning solvent is discharged from the solvent outlet 9 and sent to the distillation regenerator. It can be regenerated with a distillation regenerator. Further, the cleaning pipe 2 has a solvent inlet 10
Is provided so that the cleaning solvent regenerated by the distillation regenerator can be supplied. Circulating warm air inlet 12 is provided in the washing pipe 2.
And a circulating warm air outlet 13 are provided, and hot air is circulated through the circulating warm air inlet 12 so that the warm air is circulated through the cleaning pipe 2 and discharged from the circulating warm air outlet 13 to dry the hoop material 1. ing. An air pressure feeding unit 14 and an air suction unit 15 are provided in front of the outlet 4 of the cleaning pipe 2. The air pressure feeding unit 14 pressure-feeds air and the air suction unit 15 sucks air to dry the hoop material 1. It is like this. Washing pipe 2
An outlet side cover body 16 is attached to the outlet side 4 of the outlet side cover body 16. The outlet side cover body 16 is provided with a lead-out slit 16a, and the outlet side cover body 16 is led out from the lead-out slit 16a.
7 is provided. Further, the cleaning pipe 2 is provided with a cooling unit 18 so that cold water is passed from the cooling water pipe to the cooling unit for cooling.

The hoop material 1 is, for example, a band-shaped metal plate punched as shown in FIG. 3, and has circuit components 1a such as a terminal plate and a contact plate connected by a lead frame 1b. When the hoop material 1 is continuously supplied from the inlet 3 to the cleaning pipe 2, the hoop material 1 is washed with a cleaning solvent when passing through the cleaning pipe 2, and the washed hoop material 1 is circulated from the circulating warm air inlet 12 to the circulating warm air outlet 12. The hoop material 1 that has been dried and washed with the warm air and the air that flows from the air pressure feeding portion 14 to the air suction portion 15 is drawn out from the outlet 4. At this time, when the cleaning solvent becomes dirty, the cleaning solvent is supplied from the solvent outlet 9 to the distillation regenerator for regeneration, and the regenerated cleaning solvent is supplied from the solvent inlet 10 to the cleaning pipe 2. Further, if the cleaning solvent is vaporized, it is cooled in the cooling unit 18 and liquefied. Further, when the hoop material 1 is passed through the cleaning pipe 2, the hoop material 1 does not directly contact the inner surface of the cleaning pipe 2 but contacts through the cleaning solvent, so that there is no problem of friction. At this time, it is more preferable to provide a guide roller to improve the sliding of the hoop material 1.

[0009]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the hoop material is inserted from the inlet while the cleaning solvent is loaded in the substantially U-shaped cleaning pipe, the hoop material is passed through the cleaning pipe, and the hoop material is inserted. It is possible to wash the hoop material with a washing solvent by taking out from the outlet, and because it is a substantially U-shaped washing tube, it can be made smaller than the conventional washing tank and can be lighter in weight and easy to move. In addition, the amount of cleaning solvent to be loaded can be reduced, and since a drying means for blowing the warm air to the hoop material to dry the hoop material is provided before the outlet of the cleaning pipe, Of course, the hoop material can be dried, and even if a drying means is provided, the device does not become large.
