Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laundry dewatering device used in an industrial cleaning device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, laundry is dehydrated by a dehydrator after completion of main washing with a solvent, detergent or water, and then dried by a dryer. In the main washing, a large number of laundry items are generally washed in a washing machine at a time, and then dehydrated in the same washing machine. A conventional washing machine, particularly a dehydrator, includes an outer case, an inner case that is rotatably disposed in the outer case and has a side plate made of punching material, and a drive unit that rotates the inner case. Therefore, the laundry is brought into close contact with the inner case due to the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the inner case, and the water is spattered outside the inner case due to the centrifugal force to be dehydrated.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, since the laundry directly adheres to the side plate made of the punching plate of the inner case, the punching plate of the inner case is increased when the number of rotations of the inner case is increased in order to improve the productivity. There has been a problem that the punching holes are attached to the laundry as a pattern and it takes a lot of time for the subsequent finishing process. Therefore, conventionally, the number of rotations of the inner case is reduced to deal with this problem. Therefore, there is a problem that productivity is lowered and dehydration is not completely performed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a laundry dewatering device for an industrial cleaning device, which does not have a punching hole pattern on the laundry even when the inner case is rotated at a high speed, and which can improve productivity and completely perform dewatering. To provide.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to an outer case, an inner case rotatably disposed in the outer case and having a side plate made of a punching material, and the inner case being rotated. In the laundry dewatering device of the industrial cleaning device, which is provided with a driving means, a water separating material that uniformly absorbs or allows moisture to pass through is provided inside a side plate made of a punching plate of the inner body.

[0006]

[Function] When the laundry is dehydrated by rotating the inner case,
The laundry adheres to the water separating material, and the water passes through the water separating material by centrifugal force and then scatters to the outside of the inner case through the punching holes of the side plates made of the punching plates. In this way, the laundry does not directly adhere to the punching plate but to the water separating material. Since the water separating material absorbs or allows water to pass evenly, even if the inner case is rotated at a high speed, almost no pattern is attached to the laundry.

2 is operated, the horizontal moving plate 51 is advanced toward the conveyor means 3, and is in the state shown by the solid line, and the hook 59 is located 62 below the hanging portion of the hanger 1 hung on the conveyor means 3. Next, the air cylinder 56 is actuated, the hook 59 rotates about the support shaft 58, and the hook portion 59a rises as indicated by 63. Accordingly, the hook 59 scoops up the hanger 1 hung on the conveyor means 3, and the hanger 1 on which the laundry 2 is hung is hung on the hook 59. Next, the air cylinder 52 operates in the opposite direction to the above, the discharge and the hook 59 retract, and the state shown by 64 is obtained.

Next, the lotless cylinder 45A is actuated, the vertical moving plate 48A is lowered, and the hook 59 is positioned 65 above the inside of the hanger hook 16. Then air cylinder 5
2 moves to move the vertical moving plate 48A toward the hanger hook 16, and the hook 59 is positioned 66 above the hanger hook 16. Next, the air cylinder 56 operates in the opposite direction to the above, the hook 59 rotates about the support shaft 58, and the hook 59 descends as indicated by 67. As a result, the hanger 1 hung from the hook 59 is hung from the hanger hook 16. That is, the laundry 2 hung on the hanger 1 is hung on the hanger hook 16. Next, the air cylinder 5
2 operates in the opposite direction to the above to move the horizontal moving plate 51 and the hook 5
9 retreats to the state shown at 68. Subsequently, the lotless cylinder 45A operates in the opposite direction to the above to move the vertical moving plate 48.
A rises to the above-described pre-operation state 69 (61). As a result, one cycle of the operation of suspending the hanger 1 in which the laundry 2 is hung on the hanger hanger 16 is completed.

In this way, the operation of receiving the laundry 2 from the conveyor means 3 is performed by the operations of 61 to 64, and 6
Clothes 2 to the hanger hook 16 by the operation from 5 to 68
The hanging operation is performed.

Next, the motor 31 rotates to rotate the rotary shaft 20 and the inner case 12 is rotated 90 degrees. This allows
The hanger hook 16 next to the inner case 12 is ready to receive the laundry 2. Therefore, as described above, the hook 59 has six

Since four hanger hooks 16 are provided on the
The above-mentioned one cycle operation is repeated four times, and the hanger 1 with the laundry 2 hung on all the hanger hooks 16 is hung.

When the hangers 1 with the laundry 2 hung on all the hanger hangers 16 are hung, the motor 31 operates for a certain period of time. As a result, the laundry 2 rotates together with the inner case 12, and the laundry 2 is dehydrated by the centrifugal force. In this case, the laundry 2 is in close contact with the water separating material 17, and the dehydrated water passes through the water separating material 17 and then the hanger hook support plate 1
5 and through the punching holes of the side plate 14, that is, the punching holes of the inner case 12, are blown toward the outer case 11, fall below the outer case 11, and are discharged to the outside through a drain port (not shown).
When the motor 31 stops after a certain period of time, one of the hanger hooks 16 stops at the position where the laundry 2 is discharged by the discharge unit 40B.

As described above, the laundry 2 does not directly adhere to the punching plate of the inner case 12 but to the water separating material 17. Since the water separating material 17 uniformly absorbs or allows water to pass through,
Even if the inner case 12 is rotated at a high speed, the laundry 2 has almost no pattern. Further, since the water separating material 17 is attached with a velcro tape 18 and is detachable, it can be easily replaced at regular intervals or when the water separating material 17 becomes dirty and its water permeability decreases.

Then, the dehydrated laundry 2 is discharged. In this case, the lotless cylinder 45B of the discharge section 40B and the laundry transfer means 50B are activated. The operation will be described with reference to FIG. The hook 59 operates in the same state 71 as the state before the supply section 40A operates. First, the lotless cylinder 45B is actuated, the vertical moving plate 48B is lowered, the hook 59 is changed from 71 to 72, and is positioned below the hanging portion (V-shaped portion) of the hanger hook 16 below. From this state, operations 72 to 75 for receiving the laundry 2 from the hanger hook 16 are performed. Since this operation is exactly the same as the operations 61 to 64 for receiving the laundry 2 from the conveyor means 3, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the lotless cylinder 45B operates in the opposite direction to the above, the up-and-down moving plate 48B rises, and the hook 59 is positioned 76 above and in front of the discharge chute 4. Next, operations 76 to 79 for discharging the hanger 1 hung from the hook 59 to the discharge chute 4 are performed. This operation is an operation 65 of hanging the laundry 2 on the hanger hook 16 described above.
Since the operation is the same as that from No. 68 to 68, detailed description thereof will be omitted. The hanger 1 with the laundry 2 dropped on the discharge chute 4 slides on the discharge chute 4 and is sent to the next step.

Then, similarly to the above, the motor 31 rotates to rotate the rotary shaft 20 and the inner case 12 is rotated 90 degrees.
As a result, the next hanger 1 hung from the hanger hook 16 is discharged. Therefore, as described above, the hook 59 repeats one cycle from 71 to 79, and all the dehydrated laundry 2 hung on the hanger hook 16 is discharged to the discharge chute 4.

The dehydration step is completed by the series of steps described above. Next, the operation of suspending the laundry 2 on the hanger hook 16 is performed after the hanger hook 16 from which the laundry 2 has been discharged is positioned in the supply unit 40A as described above.

The above embodiment has been described as applied to a vertical type dehydrator in which the center axis of rotation of the inner case 12 is vertical. However, the center axis of rotation of the inner case 12 is horizontal or inclined, It can also be applied to a horizontal dehydrator which disposes the laundry 2 along the side plates 14 of 12 to dehydrate the laundry.
