JPH08290138A - Automatic washing device for recording card - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to wash away even the heavy stains and to house used recording cards on a dry state by allowing water from a water tank to flow down through a filter to a brush pair to wash these cards, wringing the water with wringer rolls and wiping away the water from the cards with wiping rolls while blowing hot air, then housing the cards in a housing device. CONSTITUTION: The used recording cards are delivered by one sheet each from a recording card delivering device 1 and are sent to the brush pair 4 by a transporting roll pair 3. The lower brush 4b is held energized upward at all times and is rotated at a speed of several times the card transporting speed, by which the cards are pressed to the upper brush 4b. The front and rear surfaces of the cards are thereby rubbed and roughly washed. The cards are sent to the water wringer roll pair 14 and are further sent to the wiping rolls pairs 15, 16. The cards are subjected to finish washing by soft members in this section. At this time, the hot air heated by a plate heater 18 is sent by a fan 19 to dry the cards. The dried cards are housed into the recording card housing device 21 by a transporting roll pair 20.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically cleaning oil, dust and the like on a recording card such as a prepaid card, a telephone card and a product card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an automatic cleaning device for a recording card, there is known a device for cleaning a plate by disposing a rotating brush in a water tank as shown in JP-A-50-44662. Further, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-7068, it is publicly known that a cleaning cloth wound in a roll shape is pressed and urged against the surface of a plate-like object for cleaning.

[0003]

The above-mentioned prior art is considerable because the recording card is roughly washed only with the brush in the water tank, or the cloth, sheet or the like is pressed against the surface of the recording card and washed with cloth, sheet or the like. However, it is difficult to completely clean the plate that is extremely dirty, and when the cleaning liquid is used as in the former case, it is stored in an undried state, so that there is a problem in that the card in the storage section adheres.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a water tank is arranged next to the recording card sending device, and a recording card conveying member, a brush pair, and a recording card conveyer are provided above the water tank. Members are sequentially arranged, water in the water tank is arranged so as to flow down to the brush pair through a filter, and a water squeezing roll pair and a wiping roll pair are arranged at the next position,
A hot air delivery device is disposed above the pair of wiping rolls, and a cleaned and dried recording card storage device is disposed at the final position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, one embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail. Reference numeral 1 denotes a recording card sending device that collects recording cards such as prepaid cards, telephone cards, and product cards that are soiled with oil, dust, etc. on the surface and sends them one by one. Reference numeral 2 denotes a water tank, on which a pair of transport rolls 3 is arranged, and then a pair of brushes 4 is arranged. The upper brush 4a is pivotally attached to a fixing plate 5 outside the water tank, and the lower brush 4b is pivotally attached to a fixing plate 6 integral with the water tank 2. 7 is an aquarium 2
Is placed on a mounting table, and is urged upward by a spring 8. The water in the water tank 2 is sent from the tube 10 to the filter 11, and further flows down from the tube 12 to the upper brush 4a. 13 is a conveyor belt pair, 14
Is a pair of water squeezing rolls. A pair of wiping rolls 15 and 16 are arranged at regular intervals, and a pair of conveying rolls 17 is arranged in the middle. A plate heater 18 is arranged above the pair of wiping rolls 15 and 16, and a fan 19 is arranged below the pair of wiping rolls. As shown in FIG. 2, the wiping roll pairs 15 and 16 have water-absorbing members 15a and 16a attached to their outer circumferences.

Next, the operation will be described. The used recording cards sequentially sent out one by one from the recording card sending device 1 are sent to the brush pair 4 from the transport roll pair 3. The lower brush 4b is always urged upward, and is rotated at a speed several times as fast as the card conveying speed to press the card from below onto the rotating upper brush 4a so that the grease and dust on the front and back surfaces of the card are brushed by the brushes 4a and 4b. Scrub and perform rough cleaning. Then, it is sent to the water squeezing roll pair 14 by the conveyor belt pair 13 and further to the wiping roll pair 15 and 16, and both surfaces of the recording card are finished and washed with a flexible member. At this time, the water in the water tank 2 is sent from the tube 10 to the filter 11, and then the tube 12
It flows down to the upper brush 4a. At this time, since the hot air is sent downward from the upper plate heater 18, the recording card is completely dried and is stored in the recording card storage device 21 in a dry state by the pair of transport rolls 20.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the water tank is arranged next to the recording card sending device, and the recording card conveying member, the brush pair and the recording card conveying member are sequentially arranged above the water tank, and the water in the water tank is filtered. Arranged to flow down to the brush pair through
A pair of water squeezing roll and a pair of wiping rolls are arranged at the next position, a hot air delivery device is arranged above the pair of wiping rolls, and a cleaning and dried recording card storage device is arranged at the final position. , First, wash water is washed down roughly with a pair of brushes, then squeeze the water content of the card and rub both sides of the recording card with a wiper roll pair to make a final wipe. A fairly dirty recording card can be thoroughly washed and can be stored in the card storage device in a dry state.
