JPH11300291A - Fixing hook for two-divided type rotating brush - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To set easily hooks on the body of a two-divided type rotating brush and also easily remove them therefrom and make cleaning scum or the like hard to accumulate on the hooks and also make the hooks not disturb hairs. SOLUTION: Hooks are formed into the plate shape formed by slicing a half-circle cylinder into the round shape, and pins 6 are protruded on both faces of the upper end, while pin holes 9 into which pins 8 can be inserted are through-formed on the lower end, and fixing pin holes 12 for fixing pins to be fixed on a body are through-formed on fixing sections 11 inside an insertion section 10 for a slit of the body protruded on the inner side of a central section. The hooks are inserted into the slit in the state of setting the upper sections and the lower sections reverse each other, and respective pins are just inserted into respective counterpart pin holes to clamp and fix the body easily. Since the hooks are of the plate shape, hair 6 are not disturbed, and the number of recesses and projections is smaller than those of an integrating band to make cleaning scum hard to accumulate on the brush.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hook for preventing an intermediate portion from being spread by the action of centrifugal force during rotation of a two-piece rotary brush provided in an egg washing and drying machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, a rotary brush 1 of a two-part type has a coupling 3a attached to a drive shaft 2;
The end of the planted trunk 5 is inserted into the coupling 3 b attached to the driven shaft 4. Then, a coil spring mounted on the coupling 3a on the drive shaft 2 side
The body portion 5 on which the bristle 6 is implanted is constantly pressed toward the driven shaft 4, and its ends are fixed to both the couplings 3a and 3b by non-illustrated detent pins.

Since the body 5 is formed of two semi-cylinders, the center part expands due to centrifugal force during rotation, and the contact pressure between the end of the brush and the chicken egg increases, causing egg breaking. Becomes Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the trunk 5 from spreading.

[0004]

Conventionally, a binding band has been used to prevent the trunk 5 from spreading. However, the binding band is cumbersome to remove, and washing debris and the like accumulate on the trunk 5 to improve hygiene. It was not preferable. In addition, since the binding band is wide, there is a disadvantage that the hair 6 is disturbed.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to easily attach / detach to / from the body portion, to prevent accumulation of washing residue and the like, and to prevent the hair from getting in the way.

[0006]

The fixing hook of the present invention has the following features. That is, the two pieces are locked to each other to pinch and fix the body of the two-piece rotary brush. A pin hole through which the pin can be inserted is formed through the lower end portion. An insertion portion to be inserted into the slit provided on the body is projected from the center to the inside, and when the insertion portion is inserted into the slit, the fixed portion located inside the body projects from the center of the insertion portion. A fixing pin hole for inserting and inserting a detachable fixing pin for locking and fixing to the inner surface of the body is provided through the fixing portion.

Further, the following solution can be taken. That is, one of the fixed hooks has a pin protruding outward on one side of the upper end, and a pin hole penetrating the lower end,
The other fixed hook has a pin hole through which the pin can be inserted at an upper end thereof, and a pin which can be inserted into one of the pin holes is projected from the lower end thereof on the same surface as the one surface.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 7 denotes a plate-shaped fixing hook, which is formed in the shape of a half-cylinder having a narrow width and is cut into a circular plate. A pin 8 protrudes outward, and a pin hole 9 into which the pin 8 is inserted is formed at the lower end. Reference numeral 10 denotes an insertion portion which protrudes inward from the center. Reference numeral 11 denotes a semicircular fixing portion, which protrudes inward from the center of the insertion portion 10 and has a fixing pin hole 12 penetrating the center. In the illustrated example, the pin 8 is formed in a conical shape so that it can be easily inserted into the pin hole 9, but it is also possible to form a cylindrical shape or a hemispherical cylindrical head. In addition, the arc-shaped inner edge inside the both ends is formed to have a radius that comes into contact with the outer periphery of the body 5.

Since the body 5 is formed of two semi-cylindrical components, the bristle 6 is located at the center of each component.
The insertion portion 10 of the fixing hook 7 is positioned so as not to interfere with
Is provided in the diameter direction. However, the position of the slit 13 is slightly shifted from the thickness of the fixed hook 7.

[0010] Then, two fixing hooks 7 with the fixing portion 11 facing each other are inserted into the slits 13 of the component, with the pin 8 being on one side and the other being on the bottom, and the pin 8 is inserted into the pin hole 9. Engage each other. Then, a not-shown insertable / extractable fixing pin, for example, a split pin is inserted into each of the fixing pin holes 12 located inside the body 5, and the fixing hook 7 is fixed to the body 5. The body 5 is locked and fixed by two fixing hooks 7 fixed to the body 5 with fixing pins, so that the body 5 does not spread even when the rotating brush 1 rotates.

Instead of the above-mentioned one kind of fixing hook 7, it is also possible to use two kinds of fixing hooks formed symmetrically. That is, one of the fixing hooks has a pin 8 protruding from only one surface of the upper end, and a pin hole 9 is provided at the lower end. The other fixed hook has a pin hole 9 at the upper end and a pin 8 protruding only at the same surface as the pin 8 at the lower end. Then, either one is turned upside down and the fixing portions 11 are used to face each other.

These fixing hooks are integrally formed of plastic, stainless steel, or the like having excellent water resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0013]

When the split pin is pulled out and the pin is removed from the pin hole, it can be easily removed from the body, so that it is easy to clean. Since there are less irregularities than the binding band, accumulation of washing residue and the like hardly occurs.

Since the thickness of the fixing hook is smaller than the width of the binding band, it does not interfere with the hair.

With the configuration shown in the figure, only one type of fixing hook needs to be prepared, and the product cost can be reduced.
