Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a mat cleaning device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the following mat cleaning device has been proposed.

That is, as shown in FIG.
A feeding roller 3, a rotating brush 4, and a diaphragm roller 5 are rotatably provided from the front side of the mat 2 in the conveying path. The feed roller 3 and the squeeze roller 5 sandwich the mat 2 from above and below and convey it, while the rotary brush 4
Is installed so as to support the mat 2 from below and wash the mat 2. Further, a water discharge pipe 6 for ejecting a cleaning liquid to each of the adjacent members is provided in the vicinity of the feed roller 3, the rotating brush 4, and the squeezing roller 5. Further, the rotary brush 4 is provided with a roll-in prevention member 7 so as to cover the rotary brush 4 from above. This entanglement prevention member 7
Has a comb shape so as to remove the bristle tips of the rotary brush 4, and prevents the rotary brush 4 from being entangled.

In the mat cleaning device 1 having the above-described structure, when the mat 2 is faced downward and is bitten by the rotating feed roller 3, the feed roller 3 conveys the mat 2 onto the rotating brush 4. At the same time, the water discharge pipe 6 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the mat 2, and the rotating brush 4 rotates to wash the surface of the mat 2. Further, the mat 2 is pushed by the rotational force of the feed roller 3, the squeezing roller 5 bites the edge of the mat 2, and the squeezing roller 5 squeezes out the water and carries out the mat 2. Since the entanglement prevention member 7 is installed, the mat 2 is prevented from being caught in the rotating brush 4 and falling downward without being meshed with the squeeze roller 5.

By the way, in recent years, consumers' needs are diversifying, and not only carpet type mats but also carpet type mats 11 as shown in FIG. Is rapidly becoming popular. But,
When the carpet type mat 11 is washed by the above-mentioned conventional example, the following drawbacks occur.

That is, since the matte 11 has long hairs 11a, it contains a large amount of water, and it is difficult to sufficiently squeeze out the water even when passing through the squeezing roller. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to dry the mat naturally, and it takes a long time to dry even if a drier or the like is used.
Therefore, it was unavoidable to reduce the amount of wash water or stop the water discharge for washing.

However, the carpet type mat 11 is difficult to remove when sand or dust gets into the base of the long fluff 11a, and the cleaning time is long. Therefore, even if the amount of water for washing is reduced, a large amount of water is eventually contained, and it is extremely difficult to dry the mat.

On the other hand, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, as shown in FIG. 6, before the cleaning chamber 8 for cleaning the mat 11, the mat 11 is hit with a dusting roller 12 to remove sand and dust. A mat cleaning device 10 in which a dusting chamber 9 for raising the dust is installed can be considered. The dusting chamber 9 is provided with a rotatable feed roller 13 on the front side and the rear side, and a mat guide 14 for supporting the mat 11 is installed on the conveyance path of the mat 11.

However, in such a mat cleaning device 10, the size of the entire device is increased in the mat conveying direction, and the number of members such as the feed roller 13 and the mat guide 14 is increased, so that the production cost is increased.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in the prior art, when cleaning a carpet type mat, if the mat is to be thoroughly cleaned, the mat becomes too wet and it is difficult to dry it. It was

The mat cleaning device of the present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to clean the mat cleanly and to quickly dry it. It is to provide a mat cleaning device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the following problems, the mat cleaning device of the present invention includes a cleaning brush for cleaning the mat, and the mat is sandwiched between the cleaning brush and a position facing the cleaning brush. A dusting member for driving the mat to be tapped is provided, a water outlet for ejecting a cleaning liquid is formed in the vicinity of the cleaning brush, and a mat feed roller is provided on the front side of the cleaning brush. A squeeze roller for squeezing the water content of the mat is installed on the back side of the.

[Operation] The operation of the present invention having the above configuration is as follows.

That is, the feed roller rotates to feed the mat onto the cleaning brush, and the cleaning brush cleans the mat. At this time, the dusting member is driven to strike the mat. Due to this impact, sand and dust adhering to the base of the mat floats on the surface. Therefore, the washing brush can wash the mat only by discharging a small amount of washing liquid from the water outlet. Therefore, the mat does not absorb much water, and the squeezing roller can sufficiently squeeze out the water in the mat.

As described above, according to the present invention, the dust adhering to the mat is knocked out by the dusting member and then washed,
The cleaning solution can be saved and the mat will not get too wet,
Can be dried quickly. Moreover, since the dusting member is disposed at a position facing the cleaning brush with the mat sandwiched between them, it is possible to reduce the production cost without increasing the size of the apparatus and the number of transport rollers. further,
Since the mat is constantly pressed by the cleaning brush,
There is tension on the mat. Therefore, dust and the like can be lifted up by simply hitting the mat with the dusting member lightly.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the mat cleaning device of the present invention as described above will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

The same members as those in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals,
The description is omitted.

That is, as shown in FIG.
A rotatable dusting roller 21 is provided above the rotary brush 4. As shown in FIG. 2, this dusting roller 21 is of a square type, and its edge is arranged so as to hit the mat 11 when it is rotated by the rotational force of a drive motor (not shown).

Further, in this embodiment, the rotation speed of the aperture roller 6 is set to be slightly faster than that of the feed roller 3.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration is as follows.

That is, the feed roller 3 rotates to feed the mat 11 onto the rotating brush 4, and the rotating brush 4 cleans the surface of the mat 11. At this time, the dusting roller 21 rotates and strikes the back surface of the mat 11. This impact causes the root of the mat 11 and
Sand and dust adhering to a come up on the surface of the mat 11 (downward in the figure). Therefore, the rotary brush 4 can sufficiently remove the sand and dust from the mat 11 only by discharging a small amount of cleaning liquid from the water discharge pipe 6. Therefore, the fluff 11a of the mat 11 does not absorb much water, and the squeezing roller 6 can completely squeeze out the water of the mat 11.

Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the rotation speed of the squeeze roller 6 is set to be slightly faster than that of the feed roller 3, the mat 11 is pulled by the squeeze roller 6 while being bitten by the feed roller 3, It is pulled in the transport direction. further,
The mat 11 is pressed upward by the rotating force of the rotating brush 4 and does not loosen downward. Therefore, mat 11
Is applied with a strong tension, and the dusting effect of the dusting roller 21 is improved.

Further, such improvement of the dusting effect is significantly different from the conventional technique shown in FIG.

That is, in the dust chamber 9 provided independently, the mat 11
However, while being supported by the mat guide 14, the dusting roller 12 could not hit the mat 11 until it was caught by the front and rear feed rollers 13 and stretched. However, in this embodiment, as described above, the mat 11 is stretched because it is pressed upward by the rotational force of the rotary brush 4, and the dusting efficiency is high. Moreover, compared with the conventional example shown in FIG.
Since the dusting roller 21 is located above the rotating brush 4, the device can be downsized.

The mat cleaning device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but as a dusting member, a dusting plate 22 as shown in FIG. However, the shape and size of the dusting member can be changed as appropriate. Further, the cleaning brush is not limited to the rotary brush 4 as described above, and may be a brush that reciprocates in the front-rear direction. Further, the mat cleaning device of the present invention can clean the carpet type mat or the rubber mat by adjusting the amount of water discharged from the cleaning liquid.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the mat cleaning device of the present invention,
With a simple structure in which a mat dusting member is provided to face the cleaning brush with the mat sandwiched, it is possible to contribute to downsizing of the apparatus and reduce the production cost. Since the dirt attached to the base is floated before cleaning, it can be reliably cleaned with a small amount of cleaning liquid, and since the mat does not get too wet, it is an excellent mat that can be dried quickly just by passing it through the squeezing roller. A cleaning device can be provided.
