Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a device for washing vegetables such as carrots, radish, and radish, especially root vegetables.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 5, a conventional cleaning device of this type has a case 101 with an open upper part, and a case 101 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the case 101 (left and right direction in FIG. 7). along 6-7
A cleaning recess 104 is formed by rotatably arranging the brush rolls 102 in parallel, and the brush rolls 10
Some devices are constructed by providing a water spray device 105 above the cleaning recess 104 for spraying cleaning water into the cleaning recess 104.

According to this structure, the case 101 can supply cleaning products such as carrots.
This can be done from the top of the washing machine, and the washing material can be fed by using the natural falling of the washing material.

However, the washing material that has fallen naturally hits the rotating brush roll 102 and is forced to move, colliding with the washing material that naturally falls later, which not only prevents the washing material from being accurately and efficiently fed into the washing recess 104. In addition, the cleaning items are easily damaged by each other, and the brush rolls are also damaged by the impact of the cleaning items falling naturally, shortening their service life and increasing repair costs. 102, and a high-horsepower prime mover is required to rotate these brush rolls 102, resulting in a problem of increased manufacturing cost.

[The problem that the invention attempts to solve]

This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to reduce the number of brush rolls without reducing the cleaning ability, and to use a low-horsepower prime mover. In addition, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs, supply cleaning material accurately and efficiently into the cleaning recess, prevent frequent scratches during supply, and extend the service life of the brush roll to reduce repair costs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning device that can also achieve the following.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention consists of a brush roll 2 arranged in parallel so as to be rotatable on its axis, and a receiving plate 3 connected to the brush roll 2 in a case 1 having a washing material supply port 1a on the upper side. The receiving plate 3 is formed into a guide portion 12 which is inclined downward from the supply port 1a toward the inside of the cleaning recess 4.

[Effect]

The cleaning material supplied into the case 1 from the supply port 1a is transferred or slid on the guiding portion 12 and is supplied into the cleaning recess 4.

When the brush roll 2 rotates in a direction that moves away from the receiving plate 3, the washing material does not move much toward the receiving plate 3 and is biased toward the brush roll 2 in the washing recess 4.

Further, if the brush roll 2 is rotated in the reverse direction, the cleaning material is shifted toward the receiving plate 3 side.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of this invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 4, A indicates a washing device, and this washing device A is installed in a case 1 which has a washing port 1a on the upper side for supplying root vegetables such as carrots, fresh sprouts, and radish. At least two (four in this embodiment) brush rolls 2 along the longitudinal direction of the case 1 (horizontal direction in FIG. 1).
are rotatably arranged side by side in a quarter circle, and a quarter circle receiving plate, for example a mat plate 3, is connected to the front side of the brush roll 2 (on the left side in FIG. 4), thereby achieving a concave semicircular cleaning A recess 4 is provided, and a water sprinkling device, for example, a water supply pipe 6, for spraying cleaning water into the cleaning recess 4 is provided above the brush roll 2, and a plurality of nozzles 7 are installed in the water supply pipe 6 at appropriate intervals. It is set up and configured.

The brush roll 2 is supported by a roll shaft 11 rotatably supported through a member 10 by bearings on left and right (left and right in FIG. 1) side plates 8 and 9 of the case 1, respectively.

The mat plate 3 has the supply port 1a as shown in FIG.
The washing recess 4 is formed in a quadrangular shape that slopes downward toward the inside of the washing recess 4, and the washing material supplied from the supply port 1a is transferred to the washing recess 4.
A soft mat member 13 is attached to the upper surface side of the guiding part 12 with an adhesive or the like. It is fixed to the side plates 8 and 9.

As shown in FIG. 4, the brush roll 2 and mat plate 3 are arranged in a concave semicircular shape when viewed from the side, and extend from the starting end (right side in FIG. 1) to the terminal end (right side in FIG. 1) in the longitudinal direction. It is provided so as to be inclined downward toward the left side in Figure 1).

One end of the roll shaft 11 (in this embodiment, the starting end,
That is, on the right side in FIG.
is fixedly installed, and between these sprockets 14 there is a chino 15
is at stake.

In addition, pulleys 16 are fixed to some of the roll shafts 11 in parallel with the sprocket 14, and an output shaft 19 of the prime mover 18 is connected via a belt 17.
It is connected to a pulley 20 fixedly attached to.

At the terminal end of the case 1 (on the left side in FIG. 1), there is provided an outlet 21 for opening the side plate 8 and taking out the washed vegetables.

This outlet 21 is provided with a door 22 that can be opened and closed, and a takeout tub 23 that is continuous with the opening edge of the outlet 21 is provided.

The door 22 is provided with a handle 24 for opening and closing the door 22.

In the above configuration, when a part of the roll shaft 11 is rotated by the prime mover 18 via the output shaft 19, pulley 20, belt 17, and pulley 16, for example in the direction of arrow a in FIG. Installed sprocket 1
4, the other roll shaft 11 is rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow a through the chino 15 and the sprocket 14, and the brush rolls 2 rotate all at once in the direction of the arrow a.

The vegetables supplied to the starting end (right side in Figure 1) of the cleaning recess 4 formed by the rotating brush roll 2 and mat plate 3 are transferred while rotating to the downwardly inclined terminal end. .

In this transfer process, dirt such as mud and sand is removed from the surface by the rubbing action of the vegetables and the brazing action by the brush roll 2 and the mat plate 3, and further by the washing water sprayed from the nozzle 7. Washed clean.

Then, the washed vegetables are taken out from the takeout tub 23 by opening the door 22 of the takeout port 21.

If the brush roll 2 is rotated in a direction away from the rotation of the mat plate 3, for example, rotated clockwise in FIG. In this offset position, the vegetables are intensively washed by the brush roll 2.

Therefore, the number of brush rolls 2 can be reduced and a low horsepower motor can be used.

Moreover, if each brush roll 2 is rotated, the vegetables will be concentrated on the mat board 3 side, and the vegetables will be less likely to come into contact with the brush roll 2, allowing for gentle washing.

To supply vegetables to the washing recess 4, leave a gap between the mat board 3 and a vegetable supply container (not shown), and gradually tilt the container from the supply port 1a to separate the container and the mat board. 3
Gradually push out the vegetables through the gaps.

The vegetables being pulled out fall while moving or sliding on the mat board 3 guidance section 12, and quickly reach the washing recess 4 without stopping.
supplied within.

Therefore, when vegetables are fed into the washing recess 4, the vegetables fed first do not dance and collide with the vegetables fed later, so the vegetables can be accurately and efficiently fed into the washing recess 4. In addition, it is possible to prevent scratches caused by collisions between easily damaged vegetables such as radishes, and in addition, the vegetables do not fall naturally against the brush roll 2, but fall while rolling or sliding. Therefore, the impact caused by falling vegetables is small and the brush roll 2 is not damaged.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the mat plate 3 is transferred to the brush roll 2.
However, the mat plate 3 may be placed on the rear side of the brush roll 2 as shown in FIG. It may also be placed in the

Further, although the guide portion 2 is shown as having a quarter-circle shape, it is not limited to this, and in short, it may be any type as long as it is inclined downward from the position of the supply port 1a toward the inside of the cleaning recess 4. .

Furthermore, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the invention can be implemented in modes other than the above-mentioned embodiments.

Furthermore, although reference numerals are written in the claims section of the utility model registration for convenience of comparison with the drawings, the reference numerals do not limit the technical scope of this invention.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention forms a cleaning recess in a case having a cleaning material supply port on the upper side with a brush roll arranged in parallel so as to be rotatable and a receiving plate connected to the brush roll. Since the receiving plate is formed as a guiding portion that slopes downward from the supply port toward the inside of the cleaning recess, if the brush roll is rotated in a direction away from the receiving plate, the supplied cleaning material will be removed. Objects do not go to the receiving plate side as much, but are shifted to the brush roll side, and in this offset position, the washed objects are intensively washed by the brush roll, so the number of brush rolls can be reduced without reducing the washing ability. and can use a low-horsepower prime mover,
As a result, manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Moreover, if each brush roll is rotated in the opposite direction, the cleaning material will concentrate on the receiving plate side, and contact with the brush rolls will be reduced, allowing the cleaning material to perform a gentle cleaning action.

Furthermore, the cleaning material supplied into the case from the supply port falls while moving or sliding on the guiding part of the receiving plate and is quickly supplied into the cleaning recess without stopping.
The washing material supplied first is less likely to dance and collide with the washing material supplied later, and not only can the washing material be accurately and efficiently fed into the washing recess, but also there is no damage caused by collisions between the washing materials. In addition, the washing material does not simply fall by itself onto the brush roll, but instead falls immediately from the supply port while rolling or sliding on the guiding section, thereby preventing the washing material from falling. Since the brush roll receives less impact, the brush roll is not damaged, its service life can be extended, and repair costs can be reduced.
