Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spray type automatic cleaning device, and more particularly to an automatic cleaning device suitable for cleaning an object to be cleaned while rotating the cleaning nozzle position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a cleaning method, generally, there are an immersion method using a chemical reaction action, a spray method using physical energy, a mechanical brush method and the like. Among them, the general spray-type automatic cleaning device is mainly a method in which the cleaning nozzle position is fixed and the object is swung, or a method in which the object is fixed and the cleaning nozzle is fixed to the swivel frame, and swiveled, The former is adopted more often. However, these methods change the cleaning pressure when the size of the object changes,
The nozzle position must be changed by changing the setup. Further, it is necessary to finely adjust the nozzle direction so that the cleaning spray uniformly hits the entire area of the object.

[0003]

As described above, when the size of the object to be cleaned changes, it is necessary to change the cleaning pressure and the nozzle position, and the direction of the nozzle should be adjusted so that the cleaning spray is evenly applied. There is a problem that adjustment is required. The present invention solves such a problem, and when cleaning a small article from a large article, the nozzle position is automatically positioned according to external information, and the object to be washed is made to reciprocate while swirling to wash the entire object. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cleaning device that can be easily sprayed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to achieve the above objects in an advantageous manner. The gist of the invention is to arrange it in a gate type frame in a spray type cleaning apparatus. It is composed of a cleaning nozzle positioning mechanism and a mechanism for arranging a back surface cleaning nozzle on a pedestal that can swivel on a carrier, and performing a swiveling operation of the pedestal while moving the dolly
An automatic cleaning apparatus is provided with a function of cleaning an object while reciprocating the object at a nozzle position suitable for the size of the object.

The operation and embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the overall structure of the device of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of arrow AA in FIG. FIG. 3 is a top view of the carrier vehicle. First, the positioning mechanism of the cleaning nozzle will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Reference numeral 2 is a cleaning frame, which has a gate-like shape, and has expandable and contractible nozzles 3 arranged on the upper and side portions thereof and fixed to the base 1. 4 is a screw screw, 5a, b
Is a bearing, 6 is a screw nut, 7 is a box,
8 is a motor, 9 is a member, 10 is an arm member, 11a,
b and c are connecting pins, 12 is a guide wheel, 13a and b are guide shafts, and 14 is a mounting seat. A screw nut 6 is fastened to the screw screw 4, and both ends thereof are rotatably supported by 5a and 5b, and are connected to one end of an orthogonal shaft of the gear box 7 via a coupling (not shown). The shaft of the other end of the gusset 7 which is orthogonal to each other is connected to a motor 8 attached to the cleaning frame 2.

The arm member 10 includes a member 9 attached to the bearing 5a, a screw nut 6 and a connecting pin 11a,
The arm member 10 is rotatably attached by b and c, and the arm member 10 is rotatably connected by connecting pins 11a, b and c, respectively.
A guide wheel 12 is provided at the tip of the arm member 10 and is fitted on the nozzle 3. That is,
When the motor 8 is driven, the screw screw 4 rotates and the arm member 10 attached to the screw nut 6 moves to 1
It is movable along 3a and 3b. When the space between the bearing 5a and the screw nut 6 expands and contracts, the nozzle 3 attached to the arm member 10 expands and contracts. Then, the nozzles are automatically positioned by inputting the nozzle setting position information according to the size of the object to be cleaned. Reference numeral 15 is a cover, 16 is a ventilation hole, and 17 is a cleaning cover.

Next, a transporting vehicle that can turn will be described. The turning mechanism will be described. As shown in FIG.
8 is a swivel base, 19 is a pedestal, 20 is a gabox, 2
1 is a transmission gear, 22 is a drive shaft, 23 is a motor, and 24 is a coupling. A chain 36 is provided on the outer peripheral side surface of the swivel base 18 and meshes with a transmission gear 21 that is an output of the gearbox 20 fixed to the side surface of the carriage seat 19. A drive shaft 22 having a spline shape is fitted and inserted in a direction orthogonal to the transmission gear 21 of the gearbox 20, and is rotatably supported by bearings 37a and 37b. A motor 23 is attached to one end of the drive shaft 22 by a coupling 24. It is connected. That is, the swivel base 19 drives the motor 23 and rotates the drive shaft 22 to move the gear box 20,
It is transmitted to the chain 36 via the transmission gear 21 and can be swung freely, and it can be moved at any position on the drive shaft 22.

The drive shaft 22 allows the motor 23 to be installed outside the washing chamber (not shown), which is advantageous in motor protection and maintenance. Further, 25 is a back surface cleaning nozzle which is arranged on the carriage 19 and the swivel base 18, and a piping structure (not shown) by a rotary connector is provided at the center of the swivel base 18.
If it is possible to inject while swirling, stop. Next, the traveling mechanism will be described. Indicated at 26 is a driving pulley, which is rotatably supported by a member 27 fixed to a common base 28, and is connected to a motor 29 to enable power transmission via a transmission belt 30. A driven pulley 31 is rotatably supported by a member 32 fixed to the common base 28, and is connected to the driven pulley 26 via a drive belt 30.

Both ends of the drive belt 30 are fixed to the front and rear portions of the carriage seat 19. Reference numerals 33a and 33b are guide bearings fixedly arranged on the back surface of the pedestal 19 and fitted to guide rails 34a and 34b attached to the common base 28. The guide rail 34a is driven by the motor 29 via the drive belt 30. , B are movable. The motor 23 and the motor 29 are driven and controlled at the same time so that the vehicle can turn while traveling. Also, individual operation is possible. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an operation mode of the carrier vehicle, in which the cleaning effect is predominant by moving the cleaning target object 35 while repeating the revolving motion and the reciprocating motion as shown by the arrow a.

Next, a method of operating the device of the present invention will be described. First, the object to be cleaned 35 is placed on the pedestal 19 and driven by the motor 29 to be positioned at the position of the cleaning nozzle 3, and the nozzle setting position information suitable for the object to be cleaned 35 is input to position the nozzle 3. Next, while the turning base 18 is turned by driving the motor 23, the motor 29 is normally rotated,
By repeating the reverse rotation, the automatic cleaning is performed by operating as shown in FIG. 4 and repeating the reciprocating motion. At the same time, the back surface of the cleaning object 35 is cleaned by the back surface cleaning nozzle 25. When the apparatus of the present invention is used, the nozzle position is changed according to the object and the object is swung to automatically wash the object effectively.

[0011]

As described above, according to the apparatus of the present invention, by inputting the nozzle position information according to the size of the object to be cleaned, the automatic positioning can be performed and the object to be cleaned can be swung to repeat the reciprocating operation. It can be automatically washed while moving, and has an extremely excellent effect in industry.
