When the drying is completed, the case 12 is placed on the conveyor belt 34 again. Then, the case 12 is sent to a room next to the drying room 62. The drying room 62 and the next room are
It is normally partitioned by the second shutter 114 in the drying chamber, and is opened by the air actuator 116 only when the case 12 passes. The conveyor belt 34 stops when the rotary encoder 60 detects that the conveyor belt 34 has moved by a predetermined amount. The stop position is a position (stacking position) immediately below a position where the cases 12 that have been washed and dried are stacked. This position is indicated by reference numeral 12-6 (hereinafter, the case at this position is referred to as case 12-6). At the same time when the case is transported from the drying chamber 62 to the stacking position, the cleaning chamber 4 described above
The case is also transported from 0 to the drying chamber 62.

The case 12 transferred from the drying chamber 62
A heater 118 is provided below -6, and even if the case 12-6 is not sufficiently dried, it is completely dried by the heater 118. Further, it is possible to assist the drying of the case 12-6 by guiding the heat generated by the blower provided in the lower part of the main body by a fan.

A stacking lift 120 is provided to stack the dried cases 12-6. The stacking lift 120 has a lift arm 122 that supports the case 12-6 from below.

FIG. 4 is a detailed view for explaining a mechanism for gripping and rotating the case. After cleaning as described above, the drying chamber 62
The case conveyed inside stops at a predetermined position (12-4). This state is shown in FIG. From this state, the case 12 is lifted by the lift 68 until the handle 20 contacts the upper finger 74 or comes very close to it. The upper finger 74 has a substantially L-shape as shown in the drawing, and is provided with a surface that comes into contact with the upper surface of the handle 20 and the inner surface of the portion of the case 12 where the handle is provided. When the handle 20 comes into contact with the upper finger 74, the lower finger 76 is raised by the linear actuator 300, and the handle 20 of the case is gripped by this and the upper finger 74. At this time, it is lifted by the lift 68 and can be held by the drying chamber gripping hand 72 in a substantially horizontal state. If the lower finger 76 is closed without being lifted by the lift 68 and the grip 20 is tried to be gripped, the handle 20 may not be gripped reliably. In particular, as described above, since the cleaning liquid is accumulated in the case 12 and becomes heavy in the cleaning step which is the previous step, the case may be detached from the holding hand 72 when the handle 20 cannot be reliably gripped. . In order to prevent this, in the present embodiment, the case 12 is lifted by the lift 68 so that the case 12 can be held in a horizontal state. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the handle 20 does not strictly contact the upper finger 74 and there is a slight gap, the upper finger 74 is substantially L-shaped, so that the case is surely secured. Can be gripped.
Therefore, even when a case having a slightly different height is thrown in, the case 12 can be reliably gripped. The state where the drying chamber gripping hand 72 grips the case 12 is shown in FIG.

When the case is gripped by the drying chamber gripping hand 72, the lift 68 descends. Further, the air actuator 78 pulls the gripping hand frame 80 upward, so that the case 12 is further raised while being gripped by the drying chamber gripping hand 72. When raised to a predetermined position, the rotary actuator 84 rotates the drying chamber gripping hand 72 about the gripping hand shaft 82. This rotation is shown in Figure 7.
Is shown in. The case 12 is rotated counterclockwise by approximately 90 degrees from the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 7 to the position indicated by the solid line in the figure by the aforementioned rotary actuator 84. In this way, when the case opening is directed sideways, the cleaning liquid accumulated in the case 12 is discharged.

Next, three air supply nozzles 96, 98, 10
Air is sent from 0. As described above, the first blower 11
From 0, air is supplied only to the left side air supply nozzle 100 that supplies air to the inside of the case 12, and a sufficient amount of air is supplied to the inside of the case where a large amount of cleaning liquid remains. The left air supply nozzle 100 has a cylindrical shape with an inner diameter of 46 mm, and has a long nozzle hole 30 in a portion of the side surface thereof that faces the case.
2 are provided. The details of the shape of the nozzle hole 302 are, as shown in FIG. 8, an oval shape in which a semicircular hole having a diameter of 8 mm is provided at both ends of a groove hole having a width of 8 mm and a length of 15 mm. Then, a plurality of the nozzle holes 302 having the long hole shape are arranged in a line corresponding to the width of the case, with the long axis direction thereof aligned with the cylinder axis direction of the nozzle holes.
Further, the upper blow nozzle 96 and the right blow nozzle 98 are fed from the second blower 112. These air supply nozzles 96 and 98 have a cylindrical shape with an inner diameter of 46 mm,
Nozzle holes 304 and 306, which are long holes, are provided in a portion of the side surface that substantially faces the case. This nozzle hole 30
The shape of 4,306 is 4 m wide as shown in FIG.
It has an oval shape in which a semicircular hole having a diameter of 4 mm is provided at both ends of a slot hole having a length of m and a length of 15 mm. A plurality of nozzle holes 304 and 306 having a long hole shape are arranged in a line substantially corresponding to the width of the case, with the long axis direction of the nozzle holes 304 and 306 aligned with the cylinder axis direction of the nozzle holes. As described above, the nozzle holes 304 and 306 of the upper and right air supply nozzles 96 and 98 are formed.
However, the reason why it is smaller than the nozzle hole 302 of the left air supply nozzle 100 is that the air supply amount per one air supply nozzle is smaller than that of the left air supply nozzle 100.

In the state shown in FIG. 7, three air supply nozzles 96, 9 are provided.
The air is sent from 8, 100. At this time, the left and right air supply nozzles 98, 100 are connected to the case 12 as shown by the arrows in the figure.
It moves up and down along the opening and bottom of the. this is,
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the left and right air supply nozzles 9
8 and 100, the air supply nozzle frame 102 is fixed to the air actuator 106 along the guide rail 104.
It is carried out by reciprocating. By this reciprocating operation, air can be evenly blown to the case opening surface and the case bottom surface to perform drying. In the present embodiment, the reciprocating operation of the left and right air supply nozzles 98 and 100 is performed three times, but the number of operations can be changed depending on the relationship with the blown air amount of the blowers 110 and 112.

When the reciprocating operation of the left and right air supply nozzles 98 and 100 is completed, the case 12 is turned over by 180 degrees by the turning actuator 84, as shown in FIG. By this reversing operation, the side surface of the case, which has been facing downward until now, comes to a position facing the upper air supply nozzle 96. Then, air is again supplied from the upper air supply nozzle 96 and the right air supply nozzle 98, and the case side surface facing upward is dried. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the air supply is ended, and the case is rotated again by 90 degrees by the rotary actuator 84 as shown in FIG. This makes case 1
2 is lifted by the lift 68, that is, returned to a horizontal state in which the opening faces upward. And lift 68
Rises again and abuts the bottom surface of the case 12, while the drying chamber gripping hand 72 releases the case 12. With the case 12 placed, the lift 68 descends and the case moves to the conveyor belt 34.
Placed on top.

When the drying is completed as described above, the process waits in this state until the completion of the washing / stacking process is confirmed. When the completion of these steps is confirmed, the second shutter 114 is opened and the case in the drying chamber 62 is transported to the stacking position. At the same time, the first shutter 64 is also opened and the case in the cleaning chamber 40 is transported to the drying chamber 62 to prepare for the next operation.

As described above, according to the drying apparatus of the present embodiment, the cleaning liquid accumulated in the case can be discharged by turning the case sideways before the air is fed, so that the drying can be efficiently performed. Furthermore, by reciprocating the air supply nozzle, the air flow can be evenly sprayed over the entire surface of the case.

Further, since the case is lifted by the lift and then gripped by the gripping hand, the case can be gripped in a substantially horizontal state and can be securely gripped. Further, the long hole shape of the air supply nozzle can secure an opening area for obtaining a necessary air supply amount, and can converge the air supply direction so that the air supply does not diffuse.
