Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning device for a transfer pipe for transferring highly viscous raw materials.

When transferring highly viscous raw materials such as water, ice cream, and jam from a tank to a processing machine such as a molding machine or a filling machine using a transfer pipe, the raw materials adhere to the transfer pipe after the work is completed, so they are broken down into small sections. Currently, cleaning is carried out by cleaning, but the disassembly and removal operations are troublesome, a large amount of raw material is discarded during cleaning, and the yield is reduced.

This invention aims to improve these deficiencies.
A pushing tool made of an elastic material integrally formed with a thin neck between a spherical guide head and a pressure receiving body having two deep and shallow recesses on the rear surface is fitted into the transfer pipe, and at the tip of the transfer pipe. The gist is that a truncated cone-shaped receiving cylinder is fitted and the pushing tool is fed with pressure water to discharge the adhered viscous material.

To explain the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, a transfer pipe 1 for transferring high viscosity raw material is connected to a partial pipe 2 which is detachably connected.
, 2.2..., whose base end is connected to a tank 4 containing high-viscosity raw material via a pump 3, and whose tip end is connected to an arbitrary processing machine or processing container 5. has been done.

A feeding tube 6 is removably attached to the outer end of the partial pipe 2 at the base bent portion of the moving tube 1. An opening/closing lid 8 is formed in the shape of a truncated cone with a large diameter, and a pressure water supply pipe 7 is connected to the outer end of the lid 8, which can be opened and closed freely. A receiving cylinder 9 having a truncated conical shape is removably attached.

A pushing tool 10 made of rubber or other elastic material is fitted into the feeding tube 6, and the pushing tool 10 has a spherical guide head 11 at the tip and a deep and shallow two-stage recess 12 at the rear surface.
, 15, and a thin neck 14 that joins the two.In particular, the spherical guide head 11 is connected to the transfer pipe 1.
Although the pressure receiving body 13 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the transfer tube 1, only the portion where the concave portion 10 is formed at the rear end is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the transfer tube 1.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the feeding cylinder 6 is attached to the base of the transfer pipe 1 after the transfer work of high viscosity raw material is completed.
Attach the receiving tubes 9 to the ends of the transfer tubes 1, open the opening/closing lid 8 of the feeding tube 6, fit the pushing tool 10, close the opening/closing lid 8, and supply tap water or other pressure water through the pressure water supply pipe 7. When supplied, the pushing tool 10 moves into the recess 12, depending on the pressure of the pressure water.
15 is pressure-fed in close contact with the inner wall surface of the transfer tube 1, scraping off the highly viscous material adhering to it and discharging it from the tip of the transfer tube 1. After that, the spherical guide head 11 moves to the truncated conical portion of the receiving tube 9. It closes tightly to prevent pressure water from being discharged, thereby preventing pressure water from getting mixed into the highly viscous raw material.

In the present invention, a pushing tool consisting of a thin neck that connects both a spherical guide head and a pressure receiving body having two deep and shallow recesses at the rear is used to forcefully feed a highly viscous raw material inside a transfer pipe with pressure water. The spherical guide head smoothly guides the pushing tool inside the transfer pipe according to the curved or bent shape of the transfer pipe by the bending and stretching action of the neck, and the pressure receiving body presses against the inner peripheral surface of the transfer pipe and prevents the pressure-receiving body from attaching to it. The viscous raw material can be peeled off and discharged, and the inside of the transfer pipe with highly viscous raw material adhering to it can be smoothly and easily cleaned after the work is completed. Since it tightly closes the conical head and prevents pressure water from being released, it is possible to recover highly viscous raw materials attached to the transfer pipe without mixing them with pressure water, improving the yield. Moreover, since the pressure-receiving body is formed with a deep and shallow two-stage recess, it has excellent features and practicality in that it can use any high-pressure or low-pressure water depending on the type of high-viscosity raw material.
