[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning container used when an exhaust system filter, a ventilation fan, etc. are soaked and washed with a detergent.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Exhaust devices such as a ventilating fan and a range hood in which a hood and a ventilating fan are integrated are available as a means for discharging air containing oil generated in a kitchen.

A filter for trapping oil content in the air is usually attached to the opening serving as a suction hole on the upstream side of the exhaust system, and the oil content adheres to the exhaust system body, its periphery and the duct. I try not to.

As a filter to be mounted on the exhaust device, as shown in FIG. 5, a filter (a metal plate (2) having a mesh-shaped opening is held by a rectangular frame (3) ( 1) is mainly used.

In the lath metal plate (2), as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, each strand (5) forming the mesh-shaped opening (4) is inclined at a predetermined angle.

Therefore, if this lath metal plate (2) is used as the filter (1) as described above, when air containing oil, that is, oil mist, passes through the opening (4), the air becomes strand ( In addition to being reflected and refracted on the inclined surface of 5), air and air collide with each other due to this reflection and refraction, whereby oil mist in the air is adhered and collected on the surface of the strand (5), and the exhaust device body and its surrounding It is possible to prevent oil from adhering to the.

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, if a filter (1) made of a lath metal plate (2) or the like is placed in the opening on the upstream side of the exhaust device, oil will adhere to the exhaust device main body and its surroundings. However, as a matter of course, oil adheres to the filter (1) and finally the filter (1) becomes clogged.

For this reason, the filter (1) needs to be regularly cleaned.

At this time, since the oil is strongly adhered to the filter (1), in order to surely remove the oil adhered to the filter (1), place the filter (1) in a detergent specially designed for oil removal. It is necessary to soak and leave it for a certain period of time.

However, since the filter (1) has at least one side of about 30 cm, the filter of this size is used.
There was a problem that it was very difficult to secure a container for soaking (1) in the detergent for a certain period of time.

In addition, most of the detergents used for the soaking and washing are usually prepared by diluting the stock solution at a predetermined ratio.
If you find a suitable container and store the filter (1) in this container, it is difficult to know the volume of the container accurately, so it is difficult to accurately determine the dilution ratio, and it is too dark. There is also a problem that it takes time to rinse after washing, and if it is too thin, stains cannot be reliably removed.

Also, in the case of a household fan without a filter attached, oil adheres strongly to the blades of the fan and the cover located around the blades. However, even at this time, it is still very difficult to secure a container for dipping and washing.

Is shown.

The washing container shown in the figure is formed by molding a polypropylene or vinyl sheet into a bag having a gusset, or
Alternatively, it is composed of a bag-shaped body molded from synthetic rubber, and has a rectangular bottom wall (11) and first to fourth belt-shaped strips standing upward from the periphery of the bottom wall (11). Side wall (1
2a) (12b) (12c) (12d) and a rectangular upper wall (13) facing the bottom wall (11).

Width (W), depth (D) and height of the above washing container
(H) is a size such that the filter (1) can be stored in the cleaning container (10), for example, W = 400 mm, D = 310 mm, H = 40 mm
It is designed to be

Further, the upper wall (13) is provided with a slit (14) through which the filter (1) can pass, and around the slit (14), the slit (14) extends upward. , A cylindrical body (15) whose lower end opens into the slit (14) and whose upper end opens into the atmosphere
Is integrally formed, and the filter is provided above the slit (14).
(1) A slit-shaped passage (16) for taking in and out is formed.

The width (S) in the lateral direction of the slit-shaped passage (16) is set to S = 40 mm, for example.

The internal volume of the cleaning container (10) is such that the filter (1) is housed in the cleaning container (10) and the stock solution for cleaning the filter (1) is put in the cleaning container (10) to clean the container. The container (10) is filled with water and the internal volume such as 5 liters and 6 liters is displayed so that the degree of dilution when diluting the stock solution can be calculated. It is also designed to serve as a measuring container when diluting the stock solution.

Further, the cleaning container (10) and the stock solution are set as one set, and one stock solution is injected into the cleaning container (10), and then the cleaning container
If the inside of (10) is filled with water and the degree of dilution of the stock solution is adjusted to a concentration suitable for cleaning the filter (1), it is not necessary to calculate the degree of dilution.

In order to clean the filter (1) using the cleaning container (10) having the above structure, first, a cleaning container (10) molded from a synthetic resin sheet or a chemical product such as synthetic rubber.
Of the cleaning container (10), and then the cleaning container (1
Insert the filter (1) in (0).

When it is difficult for the filter (1) to pass through the passage (16), bend the opening of the tubular body (15) toward the outer peripheral side,
That is, the tubular body (15) is rolled, and the filter (1) is inserted into the cleaning container (10) in a state where the tubular body (15) is shortened, and after the insertion, the tubular body (15) is replaced with the original one. Just return it to its shape.

Next, the stock solution of the detergent for cleaning the filter (1) is poured into the cleaning container (10) from the passage (16) also formed by the tubular body (15), and thereafter, the cleaning container (10). By diluting the inside with water or hot water, the stock solution is diluted to a specified ratio,
The filter (1) is immersed in the cleaning liquid having a predetermined concentration.

After that, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the cylindrical body (15) is folded in two, and the portion of this fold is stopped by, for example, scissors (not shown), so that the washing container (10) )
Prevent the cleaning solution inside from leaking to the outside, and leave the cleaning container (10) in this state for a predetermined time to filter (1)
Perform the pickled and left-wash.

After a predetermined time has passed, the cleaning container
The cleaning liquid in (10) is discarded, the filter (1) is taken out from the cleaning container (10), and the filter (1) is rinsed to complete the cleaning of the filter (1).

In the above embodiment, the cleaning container (10) was described as an example in which the cleaning container (10) was in the shape of a bag having a gusset, that is, a flat box shape. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the first to fourth side walls are provided. (12a) (12b)
The short sides (12e) of (12c) and (12d) may be formed so as to be inclined inward, respectively, so that the cleaning container (10) has a trapezoidal shape.

Thus, if the cleaning container (10) is trapezoidal, the load tension generated in the cleaning container (10) by water pressure when the cleaning container (10) is filled with the cleaning liquid is indicated by an arrow in the figure. As shown, since it works toward the lower outside of the cleaning container (10), when leaving the cleaning container (10) made of a synthetic resin sheet or a chemical product such as synthetic rubber filled with the cleaning liquid,
The shape of the washing container (10) can be maintained in a stable state.

In each of the above embodiments, the cleaning container (10) according to the present invention is applied to the cleaning of the ventilation fan filter (1) soaked and washed. The vanes, the cover located around the vanes, etc. may be housed in the washing container (10) according to the present invention, and soaked and washed in the same manner as above.

In this case, the size of the cleaning container (10) is, for example, in the case of a 25 cm fan that is most commonly used in ordinary households, as shown in FIG. 4, the width (W), depth (D), height
(H) and the length of the slit-shaped passage (16) formed by the tubular body (15) (L) and the width (S) in the lateral direction are W = 370 m
m, D = 360mm, H = 90mm, L = 90mm, S = 95m
Set to m.

Then, parts such as the blades (20) of the ventilation fan, the cover (21), etc. to which oil is firmly adhered are inserted into the cleaning container (10), and thereafter, the procedure is exactly the same as that described above. You can just soak it in and wash it.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cleaning container is formed by the bag-shaped body molded from the synthetic resin sheet or the synthetic rubber or the like, it can be folded when not in use. For example, it can be stored together with detergent etc. and spread out before use.Therefore, it is necessary to secure a container for leaving the filter or ventilation fan immersed in the cleaning liquid when the filter or ventilation fan is soaked and washed. Since the tubular body is projected from the flat surface of the bag-shaped body, it has excellent operability for inserting the cleaning object or pouring the cleaning liquid while the container is placed flat, and soaking the cleaning object. There is an advantage that the space for placing the container to be washed in place is small.

Since the cleaning container according to the present invention also serves as a measuring container for diluting the stock solution, the stock solution can be filled with water after the stock solution is filled into the cleaning container, and the stock solution can be filtered. It can be diluted to a ratio suitable for cleaning with a ventilation fan, and it is possible to prevent problems that the cleaning solution is too thick and takes time to rinse, and that it is too thin and stains have not been removed sufficiently.
