Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning device for a teppanyaki grill that is attached to a table or the like in a Yakiniku restaurant or the like.

Generally, cleaning a large number of teppanyaki plates attached to each table in a yakiniku restaurant or the like requires a great deal of labor and is uneconomical if done manually.

Therefore, a device was developed in which rotating brushes are arranged above and below, and a teppanyaki plate is continuously fed between the brushes to automatically clean both the front and back sides.

The present invention is mainly used when cleaning perforated teppanyaki plates with heat-absorbing protrusions on the bottom, and even if there is a change in the thickness of the plates, they can be reliably fed out one by one from the bottom of the hopper.
Moreover, the main purpose is to provide a teppanyaki plate that can automatically feed out one teppanyaki plate one by one without any problem even if it is a thin teppanyaki plate, and its gist is to provide a teppanyaki plate that is equipped with a pair of guide rails that support the teppanyaki plate, A teppanyaki plate cleaning device comprising: a feeding bar that moves on the guide rail and pushes out the teppanyaki plate by coming into contact with the rear edge of the teppanyaki plate; and a pair of rotating brushes that clean both the front and back surfaces of the teppanyaki plate pushed out by the feeding bar. , a hopper with an open top and bottom is provided on the guide rail, and the lowermost teppanyaki plate in the hopper can be freely sent out by the feed bar, and the feed bar has a wedge-shaped tip formed on its upper surface. It is provided with a piece that is protruded in front of the upper edge of the rail and can be inserted onto the lowermost teppanyaki plate in the hopper, and is provided with a lower claw that is protruded in front of the lower edge of the feed bar and that is inserted under the teppanyaki plate. The invention resides in a teppan grill cleaning device characterized by the following.

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the machine frame body (1), and 1a and 1b are side frames.

A pair of guide rails 2a, 2b are attached to the machine frame body 1 in parallel to each other, located inside the upper edges of the side frames 1a, lb, and the guide rails 2a, 2b and the side frames 1a, lb
Endless chains 3a, 3b are disposed between them.

These endless chains 3 a , 3 b are hooked onto sprockets fixed to shafts 4 a , 4 b , and 4 C horizontally suspended on the machine frame body 1 , respectively, and the upper portions of the chains are connected to the guide rail 2 .
a, 2b.

Between these endless chains 3a, 3"l), feeding bars 5, 5... are horizontally suspended at regular intervals, and these bars 5, 5...
... slides on the guide rails 2a, 2b by the rotation of the endless chains 3a, 3b.

A pair of locking claws 6, 6 protruding from the front of the upper surface on the advancing direction side are fixed to each of the feed bars 5, 5... The rear edge of A is inserted under the locking claws 6, 6 and is fed by the feed bar 5.

As shown in Fig. 4, the normally used teppanyaki plate A has a protrusion a formed on the back side and a flange-shaped edge around the periphery. It is supported on rails 2a and 2b to allow it to slide.

A pair of rotating brushes 7a are located on the machine frame body 1 above and below the guide rails 2a and 2b, and are arranged perpendicular to the guide rails 2a and 2b.
, 7 b are attached, and this directionally rotating brush 7 a
, 7 b, and the upper and lower rotating brushes 7 a and 7 b clean both the front and back surfaces.

The counter-rotating brushes 7 a and 7 b have wires installed radially, and weaker elastic wires are used for the lower rotating brush 7 b than for the upper rotating brush 7 a.

The direction-rotating brushes are rotated in opposite directions so that the contact portion with the teppanyaki plate A is oriented in the opposite direction to the feeding direction.

In the figure, 88.8 b , 9 a , and 9 b are V pulleys, 10 a 10 b is a V belt, and 11 is a drive motor for the directionally rotating brush.

Further, a hopper 12 is provided above the base end sides of both guide rails 2 a and 2 b.

This hopper 12 is supported by horizontal frames 13, 13 which are hung horizontally on the upper edges of both side frames 1a, lb, and is open at the top and bottom.

The lower edge of the hopper 12 is connected to the guide rails 2a, 2
There is a gap 14 between the teppan b and the teppanyaki plate A through which only one teppanyaki plate A can be pushed by the feeding bar 5 and pass through.

The hopper 12 is formed so that its front and rear surfaces 12a and 12b are inclined backward, and the lower edge of the front surface 12H has a tip that extends in the direction of movement of the teppanyaki plate A to a position close to the rotating brush 7a. A presser foot guide 15 is attached.

On the other hand, a pair of pieces 16 and 16 are fixed to the upper surface of the feed bar 5 in addition to the above-mentioned locking claws 6, 6.

This piece 16 has a chevron-shaped upper surface and a wedge-shaped tip 16a, and the wedge-shaped tip 16a projects forward of the upper edge of the feed bar 5.

The protrusion length is longer than the tip of the locking claw 6, and the tip 16a of the piece 16 is inserted between the teppanyaki plates A, A, leaving the lowest teppanyaki plate A. The upper teppanyaki plate is pushed down by the wedge-shaped upper surface of the piece 16, and only the teppanyaki plate A is brought into contact with the end front surface 5a of the feed bar 5 and is pushed.

Further, a pair of lower pawls 17.17 whose tips protrude forward from the front lower edge of the feed bar 5 are fixed to the lower surface of the feed bar 5. The rear end of the teppanyaki plate A is inserted into the lower side of the teppanyaki plate A.
, 6 and the lower claws 17 and 17, and the vertical movement is restricted so that it can be pushed forward.

In the figure, 18 is a motor for driving an endless chain, and 19 is a motor for driving an endless chain.
2 is a pulley, 20 is a V-belt, and 21 is a shooter.

The iron plate cleaning device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and is equipped with a hopper with its lower side open on a guide rail, and by passing a feed bar that slides on the guide rail under the hopper, the lowermost By pushing the teppanyaki plates with the feed bar and by providing a piece on the feed bar with a wedge-shaped tip that protrudes forward, the teppanyaki plates stacked inside the hopper and having a protrusion on the bottom are the best. Leaving the lower part behind, the upper part is pushed up by the top of the feed bar, and as a result, only the lowest teppanyaki plate comes into contact with the front of the feed bar, is inserted between the upper and lower claws, and is pushed forward. Ru.

In this way, by using the piece to push up the upper teppanyaki plate from the lowest part, it is possible to clean teppanyaki plates with different thicknesses at the edge of the teppanyaki plate, especially thin ones. The paper is no longer locked to the feed bar, and it is now possible to feed the paper one by one accurately.

In addition, claws are also provided on the bottom of the feeding bar to push the rear edge of the teppanyaki plate from above and below, so that even if vertical force is applied to the teppanyaki plate while it is being fed by the rotating brush, The trailing edge of the teppanyaki plate does not get under the feed column, allowing thin objects to be fed accurately.
