Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to surely wash even the heavy stained recording cards and to house these cards in a dry state by washing the cards with a brush washing device arranged in a water tank, alternately wiping the front and rear of the cards by pressing the wiping cloth by pressing rolls, drying the cards with hot air and housing the cards into a housing device. CONSTITUTION: The used recording cards are fed from a recording card delivering device 1 into a water tank 3. Three sets of a pair of revolving brushes 5 and guide blocks 4 are installed in reverse arrangement in this water tank 3, where both surfaces of the cards are alternately washed. The cards are then fed between a cloth wound roll 8 and a press roll 9 by a transporting belt pair 7 and the one surface is washed by the wiping cloth 16. This cloth washing is executed alternately on the front and rear three times. This wiping cloth 16 is taken up on cloth take-up rolls 13, 14 via respective cloth wound rolls 8, 8, 8 from cloth supply rolls 11, 12. The cards are dried by a heater 18 after the cloth washing and are housed into a housing device 19.

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 known that a cleaning cloth wound in a roll shape is pressed and urged against the surface of a plate-like object to be conveyed and cleaned.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above prior art, the recording card is roughly washed with only the brush in the water tank, or the cloth,
It is difficult to completely clean a plate that is extremely dirty because the sheet is pressed against the surface of the recording card and washed with a cloth, sheet, etc.When the cleaning liquid is used as in the former, it remains undried. Since the card is stored, there is a problem that the cards in the storage section adhere to each other.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a water tank is arranged next to the recording card sending device, and a brush cleaning device for the recording card is arranged in the water tank. Next, a plurality of pressure roll pairs are provided, and a plurality of wiping cloths wound on the take-up roll from the supply roll are inserted between the pressure roll pairs, and sequentially wound in the reverse direction on the cloth winding roll. The heater device is provided in the above, and the storage device for storing the cleaning agent-dried recording card is provided 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 which collects recording cards such as prepaid cards and telephone cards which are soiled with oil, dust and the like on the surface and sequentially sends them one by one.
Reference numeral 2 is a pair of conveyor belts, 3 is a water tank, and three brush cleaning pairs, each of which is composed of a guide block 4 and a rotatable brush 5 in pressure contact with the guide block 4, are linearly arranged at fixed intervals in the water tank 3. A transport roller pair 6 is arranged between each brush cleaning pair. The directions of the first brush 5 and the second and third brushes 5 are reversed. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pair of conveyor belts for transferring the recording card, which has been brush-cleaned, obliquely upward. Next, three cloth cleaning pairs for pressing the pressing roller 9 to the cloth winding roller 8 are arranged at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the cloth supply rollers 11 and 12 are provided on both sides thereof.
And the cloth winding rolls 13 and 14, and the wiping cloths 15 and 16 are the cloth winding rolls 8 of the three cloth cleaning pairs 10.
Are sequentially wound in the opposite direction. 17 is a pair of recording card transport belts for which cleaning and wiping have been completed, and 18 is dry 2
The individual heater device 19 is a storage device for storing the washed and dried recording card.

Next, the operation will be described. A used recording card sent out one by one from the recording card sending device 1 is sent into the water tank 3 by the conveyor belt pair 2 and is inserted between the rotating brush 5 and the guide block 4 so that both sides are alternately washed with a brush. To be done. The recording card whose both sides are brush-cleaned by the three brush cleaning pairs is inserted between the cloth winding roll 8 and the pressing roll 9 by the conveyor belt pair 7, and one surface of the recording card is cross-cleaned by one wiping cloth 15. .
Next, the other surface of the recording card is cross-washed with the other wiping cloth 16. Next, one surface of the recording card is cross-cleaned by the wiping cloth 15. In this way, the front and back surfaces of the recording card are alternately cross-cleaned, sent to the heater device 18 by the conveyor belt pair 17, dried, and housed in the housing device 19.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a water tank is arranged next to the recording card sending device, a brush cleaning device for the recording card is arranged in the water tank, and then a plurality of pressing roll pairs are arranged. A plurality of wiping cloths wound on a take-up roll from a supply roll is inserted between the pair of pressing rolls, sequentially wound in a reverse direction on a cloth winding roll, and then a heater device is disposed, and a cleaning agent is placed at the final position. Since a storage device for storing dried recording cards is provided, first, rough cleaning is performed with a brush in a water tank, and then both surfaces of the recording cards are wiped with a wiping cloth alternately to perform a final wiping. Since it can be dried by the heater device and stored in the storage device, even a dirty recording card can be reliably washed and can be stored in a dry state.
