Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container cleaning device, and more particularly, to cleaning a container made of synthetic resin, which accommodates a large number of tableware, bread, confectionery, cooked rice, vegetables, and other various foods for carrying or handling. The present invention relates to a suitable container cleaning device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art These containers are used for school meals, company lunches,
It is often used in the food service industry or in various situations where a large amount of food is handled, such as manufacturing, processing, distribution, and sales of food. Each time these containers are used, they are washed and dried to restore them into clean containers, and then repeatedly used.

In a conventional cleaning device for cleaning and drying a container, while conveying the container by a conveyor, the cleaning liquid is jetted inward with its longitudinal direction oriented in the circumferential direction around the transfer direction of the transfer path. Cleaning is performed by injecting a cleaning liquid or a rinsing liquid at about four positions in the longitudinal direction of the transfer path by the circumferential shower pipes, and the cleaning or rinsing liquid by each circumferential shower pipe is the shaft of the container to be cleaned. In order to cover the entire circumference in the circumferential direction, the circumferential shower pipes are arranged, for example, in a frame shape so that the entire circumferential direction around the axis of the container to be cleaned is the cleaning liquid jetting target area. Then, air nozzles for ejecting air are provided at the end of the cleaning region formed by the circumferential shower tube of the transfer path so as to face the opening and the bottom of the container to be cleaned, and the water is drained by ejecting the air. Finally, a drying chamber is provided on the downstream side of the air nozzle of the transfer path to repeatedly circulate warm air,
The container to be washed after washing and draining is forcibly dried.

[0004]

The circumferential shower tube provided around the transporting direction of the transporting path is as follows.
It is possible to perform cleaning without blind spots by targeting the entire area of the container to be cleaned in the circumferential direction around the axis. However, the circumferential shower tube has only one cleaning liquid jetting region in the transport direction of the transport path. Therefore, in order to sufficiently clean the transported container to be cleaned, it is necessary to provide a large number of circumferential shower pipes in the transport direction. In addition, since it is limited to provide a large number of circumferential shower pipes, in order to effectively wash the cleaning liquid or rinsing liquid from a limited number of circumferential shower pipes, The direction shower tube does not concentrate and sprays the cleaning liquid at one point, but sprays the cleaning liquid and the rinsing liquid at positions with appropriate intervals to repeatedly clean the container to be cleaned in a wavy manner.

Even if four circumferential shower pipes are installed, sufficient cleaning cannot be performed unless the conveyor speed is kept low. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency is not sufficient yet, and only four circumferential shower pipes are installed. Even in the cleaning area, the dimension in the transport direction is 1
It is about 600 mm. In addition to this, a draining space is required, and the drying chamber requires a dimension in the transport direction of about 1700 mm in order to realize sufficient drying in accordance with the conveyor speed. Further, both the heater and the blower for circulating the hot air for drying need to have a large capacity, the device is large and expensive, the running cost is high, and the exclusive space is large.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and a container cleaning device capable of efficiently and sufficiently removing stains on a container to be cleaned is small in size and inexpensive in equipment cost and running cost. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the container cleaning apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a transport path for transporting a container to be cleaned around a shaft, and a longitudinal direction on the shaft. A plurality of shower pipes in the transport direction along which are arranged are arranged such that the entire surface around the shaft of the container to be cleaned is the surface to be sprayed with the cleaning liquid by rotating or arc rotating.

In such a structure, the shower tube in the carrying direction has innumerable jetting holes of the cleaning liquid in the carrying direction, which is significantly larger than the case where the circumferential shower tube is arranged in a relatively short dimension in the carrying direction. The cleaning liquid is jetted from the location of the above to the container to be cleaned which is transported through the transport path, and a plurality of shower tubes in the transport direction are provided in the circumferential direction around the axis of the transport path, and the shower tube is rotated or rotated to be cleaned. Since the entire surface around the axis of the container is the surface to be sprayed with the cleaning liquid, the installation area is small, and the container to be cleaned to be conveyed has a blind length in the circumferential direction around the axis, with a total length that is half that of the conventional one, and By injecting the cleaning liquid at an infinite number of places in the transport direction, it is possible to efficiently remove dirt and achieve sufficient cleaning at a high speed, thereby improving both cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a container cleaning device in which a high-pressure film-like air flow is provided on the downstream side of a cleaning region of a transfer path so as to face the container to be cleaned at least from the opening side and the bottom side. The invention is characterized in that a high-pressure air film-like injection nozzle for spraying so as to traverse is provided.

With such a structure, high-pressure air is jetted from each high-pressure air film-like jet nozzle as a high-speed and strong film-like air flow continuous in the width direction, which is squeezed into a thin film, and this is conveyed. As it traverses the cleaning container, it collides sharply with a narrow width from two directions, the opening side and the bottom side of the container to be cleaned, over the entire area in the circumferential direction around the axis of the transport path on the surface of the container to be cleaned. Any dirt and grease, cleaning liquid, rinsing liquid, etc. that adheres to the surface of the container to be cleaned above is strongly and laterally removed to reach the background of the container to be cleaned and removed. Dirt, fat, cleaning liquid, rinsing liquid, and other contaminants bounce off the membranous air stream that collided rapidly and sharply with the container to be cleaned, and at the same time separate and scatter from the surface of the container to be cleaned as shown in the figure. The container to be cleaned from the downstream side to the upstream side in the transport direction. Since it covers the entire area of the container, it reliably removes oils, cleaning liquids and rinsing liquids that may remain on the surface of the container to be cleaned even after cleaning and rinsing. It is possible to achieve at the same time, and in the past, the oil and cleaning liquid adhering to the used container were not sufficiently removed, and an extremely thin film was formed on the surface of the container to leave it once or twice. Although you do not notice it during cleaning, it may gradually accumulate with use and cleaning, causing the surface to become uniformly dark and shiny, but this also disappears. Further, since it is not necessary to provide a special drying process, the apparatus is simple, small and inexpensive, and the running cost is reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a container cleaning device, wherein a transport direction shower tube having a longitudinal direction along the axis of a transport path for transporting a container to be cleaned is pivoted or arc-rotated. A plurality of containers are arranged so that the entire surface around the axis of the container to be cleaned is the surface to be sprayed with the cleaning liquid, and the longitudinal direction in the circumferential direction around the axis of the transportation path is before and after the installation direction of the shower tube in the transportation direction of the transportation path. An appropriate number of circumferential shower pipes for injecting the cleaning liquid or the rinsing liquid toward the inner side are provided so that the entire region in the circumferential direction around the axis of the container to be cleaned is the target region for the cleaning liquid injection, and the circumferential direction on the downstream side of the transport path. Further, on the further downstream side of the shower tube, two film-like jet nozzles for jetting a high-pressure film-like air stream across the container to be cleaned are provided facing the container to be cleaned from at least the opening side and the bottom side, respectively. Characterized by Than it is.

With such a construction, in addition to the invention of claim 1 and the invention of claim 2, the effective cleaning by the conveying direction shower tube of the invention of claim 1 is the main cleaning.
Prior to this, a rough preliminary cleaning by pre-washing or water washing with a cleaning solution or water sprayed from the circumferential shower tube and a rinsing with a rinsing solution sprayed from the circumferential shower tube after the main cleaning make the structure particularly complicated. In addition, the stain removing function can be further improved without increasing the size.

A container cleaning apparatus according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the container cleaning apparatus according to any one of the second and third aspects, further comprising a heater for heating high pressure air in the middle of the high pressure air supply passage to the high pressure air film injection nozzle. Is provided.

In such a structure, in addition to the inventions of claims 2 and 3, by heating the high-pressure air supplied to the high-pressure air film-like jet nozzle, the high-pressure air is further increased in pressure by expansion to form a film-like form. Since the air flow can be speeded up and the air can be warmed, the final dirt removal function and the simultaneous achievement function of draining and drying can be further improved.

[0015]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A container cleaning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall construction of the container cleaning apparatus of this embodiment. The container cleaning apparatus according to the present embodiment cleans a container A made of synthetic resin for accommodating and carrying a large number of dishes, for example, or for various handling. A conveyor 2 is provided at a middle height of the main body frame 1 so as to pass through the main body frame 1 in the horizontal direction, and receives the container A to be cleaned from one end and sends the container A to the other end to perform cleaning in the middle thereof. In the cleaning area set in the middle of the transport path 3 of the transport conveyor 2, the transport direction shower tube 4 whose longitudinal direction is along the axis of the transport direction of the transport path 3 is rotated or arc-rotated. In the above, the plurality of surfaces of the container A to be cleaned around the axis are arranged as the cleaning liquid jetting target surface, and the cleaning liquid jetting target surface is shared. In the present embodiment, a conveying direction shower tube 4 that rotates in an arc is adopted, and as shown in FIG. 2, the conveying path 3 has a central portion at the lower portion of the conveying passage 3, three portions on both sides thereof, and two portions at both upper portions of the conveying passage 3. One is provided at a total of 5 locations. As shown in FIG. 5, each conveying direction shower tube 4 has bearings 36, 36 at respective required positions of the main body frame 1.
It has a rotary connection 38 which is rotatably connected to a fixed supply pipe 37 which supplies a cleaning liquid and which is rotatably supported by an arc.

The arc rotation of the shower tube 4 in each conveying direction causes the crank pin 22 directly connected to the motor 21 with a reduction gear installed on the main body frame 1 as shown in FIGS. Shower tube 4 in each conveying direction by 23
To communicate. However, not limited to this, various methods can be adopted. The arc angles of the shower tubes 4 in the respective transport directions may be the same, or the range of allocation of the cleaning liquid jetting target surface may be different depending on the installation position and the installation interval. In short, the transport direction shower tube 4 only needs to satisfy the condition that the entire surface around the axis of the container A to be cleaned becomes the cleaning liquid jetting target surface by freely selecting the arrangement position, the arrangement pitch, and the arc rotation angle. .

Before and after the installation portion of the shower tube 4 in the transport direction of the transport path 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the longitudinal direction is oriented in the circumferential direction around the axis of the transport path 3 and the cleaning liquid or rinse is directed inward. Circumferential shower tubes 5 and 6 for jetting the liquid are provided respectively. The upstream circumferential shower pipe 5 mainly injects a cleaning liquid for preliminary cleaning or water for washing, and the downstream circumferential shower pipe 6 mainly injects a rinsing liquid. These circumferential shower tubes 5, 6
Is provided in a frame shape so that the entire region in the circumferential direction around the axis of the container A to be cleaned is the cleaning liquid jetting target region. The frame shape of these circumferential shower tubes 5 and 6 is formed by combining two circumferential shower tubes 5a and 5b and 6a and 6b, respectively, to facilitate installation. The number of circumferential shower tubes forming each is arbitrary.

A water tank 31 is provided in the lower portion of the main body frame 1, and a preliminary cleaning liquid tank 31a for storing a preliminary cleaning liquid for preliminary cleaning, a cleaning liquid tank 31b for storing a cleaning liquid for the conveying direction shower tube 4, and a circumferential shower. The submersible pumps 32a, 32b, and 32c, which are partitioned into a rinsing liquid tank 31c for supplying the rinsing liquid to the pipes 6 and installed in the respective tanks, supply the pre-cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid, and the rinsing liquid to the circumferential shower pipe 5 and the conveying direction shower. The tubes 4 and the circumferential shower tube 6 can be repeatedly supplied. Overflow pipes 33a, 33b, 33c are provided in the respective tanks, and a certain amount of the preliminary cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid, and the rinsing liquid are supplied to the respective tanks, while a part of them overflows and is drained. The preliminary cleaning liquid, cleaning liquid and rinsing liquid inside are kept below a predetermined concentration and soiling degree. Of course, the rinsing liquid may be tap water as it is, or may be continuously pressurized after being pumped, and the used liquid may be drained as it is. Further, the pre-cleaning liquid and the rinsing liquid can be the same so as to share the same supply source. Further, when the pre-cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid and the rinsing liquid are heated hot water, the cleaning effect is improved. However, this may be adopted as needed.

A circumferential shower tube 6 on the downstream side of the transfer path 3
1 and 3, the high-pressure film-like air stream 7 crosses the container A to be cleaned so as to face the container A to be cleaned at least from the opening a1 side and the bottom a2 side, respectively. Two film-like jet nozzles 8 for jetting are thus provided. The film-shaped injection nozzle 8 has a double pipe structure in which an eccentric inner pipe 8c is provided on the side of the ejection port 8a in an outer pipe 8b having a slit-shaped ejection port 8a as shown in FIG. 6A. Has become. The inner pipe 8c has a blowout port 8d at a position opposite to the blowout port 8a, and supplies high pressure air to the inner pipe 8c from an appropriate pressurized air supply source such as an external ring blow blower 9. A compressor can also be used for the pressurized air source. The ring blow blower 9 is installed on the upper part of the main body frame 1 and pressurizes the clean outside air sucked through the filter 35 to supply it to the film-like air stream 7.

The inner pipe 8c blows out the supplied high-pressure air from its own ejection port 8d to the widest part between the outer pipe 8b and the inner pipe 8c, and once the speed is reduced to equalize the pressure. , The speed increases while heading toward the narrowest part where the spout 8a of the outer tube 8b is located between the outer tube 8b and the inner tube 8c, and is once uniformly squeezed in the throttling passage 8f which is obstructed by the rod 8e on the way. By coming out in a slightly wider passage, the pressure equalization in the longitudinal direction of the ejection port 8a is further achieved, and finally the ejection port 8a of the outer pipe 8b between the outer pipe 8b and the inner pipe 8c is located in the narrowest portion. Then, it is ejected as a high-speed film-like air stream 7 from the ejection port 8a of the outer tube 8b.

The film jet nozzle 8 may have a structure as shown in FIG. 6 (b). In short, in the present invention, any structure can be adopted as long as it can eject the high-speed film-like air stream 7.

As described above, the transport direction shower tube 4 whose longitudinal direction is along the axis of the transport direction of the transport path 3 for transporting the container A to be cleaned is rotated by an arc to rotate the container to be cleaned. By disposing a plurality of surfaces so that the entire surface around the axis of A is the cleaning liquid jetting target surface, the conveying direction shower tube 4 has innumerable cleaning liquid jetting holes in the conveying direction, and has a relatively short conveying direction dimension. The cleaning liquid is transferred from a myriad of places, which are significantly larger than the case where a circumferential shower pipe is arranged between them,
Is sprayed toward the container A to be cleaned, and a plurality of transfer direction shower tubes 4 are provided in the circumferential direction around the shaft of the transfer path 3 so as to rotate around the shaft of the container A to be cleaned by arc rotation. Since the entire surface of the container is the surface to be sprayed with the cleaning liquid, the installation area is small, and the container to be cleaned A to be conveyed has a blind length in the circumferential direction around the axis and a markedly large amount in the conveying direction with a total length that is half that of the conventional case. By injecting the cleaning liquid at a large number of numerous places, dirt can be removed with high efficiency and sufficient cleaning can be achieved at high speed, so that both the cleaning efficiency and the cleaning effect are improved.

From the high-pressure air film-like jet nozzle 8 located on the downstream side of the cleaning area of the transport path 3, high-pressure air is squeezed into a thin film shape and continuous in the width direction, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 7. It jets out as a high-speed and strong membranous air flow 7 as shown in
In a state where the container A to be cleaned is transported as shown in FIG. 7, the container A to be cleaned is provided with the opening a1 side and the bottom a2.
From the two directions with the side, any dirt that collides sharply with a narrow width on the entire surface of the transport path 3 on the surface of the container A to be cleaned with a narrow width, and adheres to the surface of the container to be cleaned on the collision line. Also, the adhered substances 51 such as fat, cleaning liquid, rinsing liquid, etc. are strongly laterally removed to reach the background of the container A to be cleaned, and dirt, fat, cleaning liquid, rinsing liquid, etc. are removed. The kimono 51 bounces off the film-like air stream 7 that collides with the container A to be cleaned at a high speed and at the same time, separates from the surface of the container A to be cleaned as shown in FIG. Since it extends over the entire area from the downstream side to the upstream side in the transport direction, the fat, the cleaning liquid, the rinsing liquid, etc. that may slightly remain on the surface of the container A to be cleaned even after cleaning and rinsing are surely removed, The final decontamination, draining and drying can be achieved at the same time. Does not adequately remove the oil and cleaning liquid that have adhered to the used container, leaving an extremely thin film on the surface of the container and leaving it unnoticeable during one or two cleanings. However, this may be solved in the present embodiment, though the surface may be gradually darkened and the surface may be uniformly darkened.

Further, since it is not necessary to provide a special drying process, the apparatus is simple, small and inexpensive, and the running cost is reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the circumferential shower pipes 5 and 6 are provided before and after the cleaning region where the conveying direction shower pipe 4 is installed in the conveying path, the conveying direction shower pipe 4 is provided.
The effective cleaning by means of the main cleaning is the cleaning liquid or water sprayed from the circumferential shower pipe 5 prior to the main cleaning.
Rough pre-cleaning by pre-cleaning or water washing and rinsing by the rinsing liquid sprayed from the circumferential shower tube 6 after the main cleaning do not make the structure particularly complicated or increase the size, and the stain removing function. Can be further improved.

In the example of the present embodiment, the pressure of the high-pressure air supplied to the film jet nozzle 8 is 1500 mm.
Aq, and the jet velocity of the membranous air flow 7 at this time is 20
The flow rate when it reached m / s and collided with the container A to be cleaned was almost the same, and it showed a suitable function for finish cleaning, rinsing and drying. The length of the cleaning area in which the conveying direction shower tube 4 is installed is 740 mm, the length of the installation portion of the circumferential shower tube 5 is 600 mm, and the installation area of the circumferential shower tube 6 and the membranous jet nozzle 8 is The length in the conveying direction is 5
80 mm, the total length of the main body frame 1 in the transport direction is 1
The length was 920 mm, which was less than half the conventional length.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a heater 43 for heating high pressure air is provided in the middle of the high pressure air supply passage 42 from the ring blow blower 9 to the film jet nozzle 8. is there. This is not essential and may be used as needed. However, when the heater 43 is used, by heating the high-pressure air supplied to the film-like jet nozzle 8, the high-pressure air is further increased in pressure by expansion, and thus the film-like air stream 7 can be made faster and warmer. The final stain removal and simultaneous draining and drying functions can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the conveying direction shower tube 4 is rotated in an arc, but it is also possible to employ one that is driven to rotate or is rotated by the jet reaction force. it can. Needless to say, the higher the spray speed of the cleaning liquid in the conveying direction shower tube 4, the higher the cleaning effect.
