CONSTITUTION:An apparatus, having a sponge 1 set in a carrier part 5, capable of driving a motor 12 while sprinkling water from a water suction part 23, rotating cams 7 and 7 to lift and lower the carrier part 5, pressing the surface of the sponge 1 against rod bodies 17 intermittently to squeeze out dirt 24 entered the interior of the sponge 1 to the surface of the sponge 1, stopping the motor 12 after squeezing out fully the dirt 24, holding a gripping part 18 to advance a pressing part 15 forward along guide members 20 and 20, sliding a slide contact piece 19 on the surface of the sponge 1 and scraping off the dirt 24 squeezed out and adhered to the surface of the sponge 1 with the slide contact piece 9. Thus, the dirt 24 entered the sponge 1 can be easily squeezed out and removed with certainly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cleaning device for a dehydrating sponge used in a dry seaweed manufacturing machine.

The dewatering process of dried seaweed production machines is generally carried out by pressing and dewatering the seaweed spread on the roof using a dehydrating sponge, but this type of dehydrating sponge has a fairly thick wall with extremely strong water absorption in order to increase the dehydrating effect. sponge is used. For this reason, while dehydrating a large number of sheets of seaweed, fine dirt contained in the seaweed may penetrate deep into the sponge due to its strong water absorption, gradually reducing the dehydration effect, and during press dehydration, dirt may accumulate on the sponge side. There are problems such as adhesion to the surface of the seaweed and deterioration of the quality of the seaweed. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the dehydrating sponge from the seaweed manufacturing machine and wash it appropriately to remove the dirt that has gotten inside, but conventionally this cleaning work has been done entirely by hand, which is extremely inefficient. Furthermore, it was not possible to sufficiently squeeze out and remove the dirt that had penetrated deeply into the interior.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and includes a placing part for setting a dehydrating sponge, a pressing part made of a porous member disposed above the placing part, and a holding part made of a porous member arranged above the placing part. A sponge cleaning device is constructed of a lifting device for the dehydration sponge, a holding member for the pressing portion, a slider that slides on the surface of the dehydration sponge, and a water supply portion that supplies cleaning water to the dehydration sponge. With this configuration, the lifting device is driven to repeatedly press the surface of the dehydration sponge against the porous member, and after squeezing out the dirt that has entered the inside of the sponge onto the sponge surface, The filth is removed by scraping it off with a slider. Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to each figure.

Figure 1 shows a dehydrating sponge l used in a dried seaweed manufacturing machine.The sponge 1 is a thick rectangular plate made of a material with extremely high water absorption, and its - side is used for attachment. A substrate 2 is fixed. 3 is a rib formed on the surface of this substrate 2, and 4 is a drain hole.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are a front view and a side view of the sponge cleaning device. Reference numeral 5 indicates a placing section on which the sponge 1 is set, and a roller 6.6 is installed at the bottom of the placing section 5. Each roller 6.6 is fitted with an eccentric cam 7.7. The rotating shafts 8 of both cams 7.7 are driven by a motor 12 via pulleys 9.10 and a body belt 11. These constitute an elevating device 13 for the above-mentioned placing section 5, and when the motor 12 is driven, the cam 7.7 rotates, and accordingly, the placing section 5 on which the sponge 1 is set moves up and down.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a pressing part provided above the sponge l, and as shown in FIGS. The frame body 16 is composed of a plurality of rods 17 constituting a porous member attached in a shape, and a grip portion 18 is attached to the upper end of the frame body 16, and a slider 19 is attached to the lower part thereof. 20
．． Reference numeral 20 denotes a movement guide member which also serves as a holding member for moving the pressing part 15 parallel to the upper surface of the sponge l, and stoppers 21 are provided at both ends thereof.

22 is a projection for positioning the sponge l provided on both sides of the mounting section 5, and 23 is a water supply section consisting of a nozzle for supplying cleaning water.

This device is constructed as described above, and when the sponge l is set on the placing portion 5 and the motor 12 is driven while water is being sprinkled from the water supply portion 23, the cams 7.7 rotate and the placing portion 5 is The sponge 1 begins to move up and down, and the surface of the sponge 1 is intermittently pressed against the rod 17 (see Figures 6 (a) and (b)), and the dirt 24 that has entered the sponge 1 is squeezed out onto the surface of the sponge 1. It will be done. Once the dirt 24 in the sponge l has been sufficiently squeezed out, the drive of the motor 12 is stopped, the grip part 18 is held, and the pressing part 15 is moved forward along the guide member 20.20. Then, the slider 19 slides on the surface of the sponge 1, and the dirt squeezed out and attached to the surface of the sponge 1 is scraped off by the slider 19 (see Figure 7).
. In this way, according to this device, the dirt 24 that has entered the sponge l can be easily squeezed out and reliably removed. Note that the broken line arrow in FIG. 6(b) indicates the water drained from the sponge 1.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show other embodiments,
A plate-shaped porous member 27 in which a large number of openings 28 are formed is attached to the frame 26 of the pressing portion 25 . Furthermore, the sliding contact 29 is a frame 3 formed separately from the pressing portion 25.
It is provided at the bottom of 0. In this way, the pressing part 25
and the slider 29 are formed separately, and the pressing part 25 is attached to the moving guide member 20.20 which also serves as the holding member,
After squeezing out the dirt in the sponge l by driving the lifting device 13 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the pressing portion 2.5
along the guide member 20.20 and remove the sponge 1.
to the side, then hold the grip part 18 and remove the slider 2.
9 may be slid on the surface of the sponge 1 to remove the dirt 24 squeezed out onto the surface of the sponge 1.

As described above, according to the present invention, while supplying cleaning water to the dehydration sponge 1, the dirt 24 that has entered deep into the sponge 1 is removed by lifting and lowering the sponge 1 (repeatedly by the porous member). 17. Squeeze out the dirt 24 onto the surface while pressing it against the slider 1.
9.29, the cleaning effect is extremely high, and the cleaning work is simple and the sponge 1 can be cleaned efficiently.
