Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fire hose cleaning I/R+ device.

In the past, dirty fire hoses were cleaned one by one using a brush, etc. after use.However, cleaning and covering a large number of long hoses is not easy, and the development of automatic cleaning equipment is desired. Ta.

However, fire hoses are so flexible that they become flat when not in use, so in order to automatically clean both the top and bottom of the hose from one end to the other, the shape of the hose feeding device and cleaning brush must be complicated. This resulted in problems such as the device being difficult to use and prone to failure.

In view of the above, the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a clean top and bottom surface from one end to the other end of a long hose.

There is an attempt to provide a device that automatically cleans the teat in a 4"J manner.Hereinafter, an example of the implementation of the cleaning teat according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

In the figure (1), the front chamber (3) and the rear chamber (4) are separated by the partition plate (2).
) and the caster (5) square box body, (6) is the rear @t! Compatible with feeding rollers and rotating brushes
It is an opening/closing door whose lower edge is hinged to the front of the front chamber (3), and a viewing window (7) made of a transparent plate is provided in the center of the door. (8) (8
) to the installation position of the opening/closing door (6) °C front chamber (3)
The inlet/outlet of the hose to be cleaned (a), which is opened in the left and right side plates (9) (9), respectively, (10)<IC1) has an uneven surface on the circumferential surface.
A pair of upper and lower rubber feed rollers formed with 11) are provided protruding from the partition plate (2) at the center of the front chamber (3).

(12>(13) (12=>(13') is a pair of upper and lower rotating brushes installed on the left and right sides of the feed roller (10), respectively.
15) was planted in the shape of a sword. In addition, the above-mentioned feed rollers (10) (10) and rotating brushes (12) (13)
) (12′>(13=)) The respective rotating shafts (17I) of A motor (16) installed at the inner bottom of the rear chamber (4) is driven by a transmission belt via an idler pulley placed inside the rear chamber.
The pair of upper and lower feed rollers (10) and (10) are interlocked with the driving pulleys (18) and (19) at 1'7), and when the motor (16) rotates forward or backward, the pair of upper and lower feed rollers (10) and (10) are sandwiched between them. The hose to be cleaned (a) is rotated so as to avoid moving to the left or right in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, and the pair of upper and lower rotating brushes on the left ( 12>(13) rotates to move the hose to be cleaned (a) to the left, and a pair of upper and lower rotating brushes on the left (12'>(13') move the hose to be cleaned (a) to the right. It goes without saying that the rotational speeds of the upper and lower pair of feed brushes (10) (10) are equal, but the four rotating brushes (left, right, upper and lower) (12
)(13)(12′>(13”) is this feed roller (
10) It rotates at a faster speed than the following. In addition, the left and right upper rotating brushes (12) <12") can be adjusted to move in the vertical direction, allowing the interval between the upper and lower rotating brushes to be adjusted. It is designed so that the hose (a) to be cleaned can be clamped or removed without any hindrance.
>(20> is the entrance/exit of the left and right bowls to be cleaned (8) (8)
V-shaped rollers (21) and (22) are installed along the lower edge of the hose to be cleaned. 8) is provided along the outer edge of the partition plate (2), and the other receiving roller (22) is provided along the side edge of the opening/closing door (6). (23) is the partition plate This is a cleaning water injection nozzle that protrudes from (2) and faces above and below the travel path of the hose to be cleaned (a), and its end is placed in the rear chamber (4), which is not shown in the drawing. It is connected to the detergent liquid or water tank and pump.

(24,>(24> is the left and right rotating brushes (12>
(13) A limit switch for stopping the motor (16) and (17) that protrudes from the partition plate (2) on the outside of (12'>(13')), and the switch body is attached to the rear wall of the partition plate (2). It is. (25) 1 is a waste water receiver installed in the lower part of the front chamber (3).

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, if you want to clean a dirty flat fire hose after use by putting it on a wooden cover, first open the opening/closing door (6) and send it to the upper part. One end of the hose (a) to be cleaned is sent by a pair of upper and lower rollers (10) (10) and left and right upper and lower rotating brushes (12> (13) (12') <13 ') to 1
After loading the fire, operate the motor (17) and turn the rotating brush (
12>(13) (121 (13”)) and rotates the motor (16) in the normal direction to feed the upper and lower pair [1
- Rotate the roller (10) <10> so as to feed the hose (a) from one end to the other, for example, to the left in FIGS. 1 and 2, and! When the cleaning water is released from the spray nozzle (23), the hose (a) to be cleaned is sent in one direction by the feed roller (10) <10>, and the hose (a) to be cleaned is sent in one direction by the feed roller (10) <10>, and the pair of upper and lower rotating brushes (12 )(13) also rotates to move the hose (a>) in the direction of
2> Since the rotational speed of (13) is faster than the rotational speed of the feed roller (10), together with the cleaning water jetted from the nozzle (23), it has the effect of scrubbing both the upper and lower surfaces of the hose (a) to be cleaned. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the hose (a) to be cleaned from loosening between the rotating brushes (12, 13) and the feed rollers (10, 10).
12'><713') means that the hose to be cleaned ('a) is actually moving to the left, but it is being rotated to the right. Both the upper and lower sides of the are strongly scrubbed, and in this way, the left, right, upper and lower rotating brushes <12) <13) (1, 2') (13-)
While being cleaned, move to the left and go to the second drawing.
As shown by the chain line in the figure, the right end flange of the hose to be cleaned (a) (
11) comes into contact with the right limit switch (24), the motors (16) and (17) stop, and the -C feed roller (
10)(10) and rotating brush (12)-<13)(1
2”) (13’) will stop rotating, so the long hose (a
) can be cleaned from one end to the other without leaving any residue, and if the above cleaning does not remove the stain sufficiently, leave it as it is and use the rotating brush (12) as described above.
(13) i12-) ('13') is rotated to inject cleaning water from the nozzle (23>) and the motor (16)
)'i5 reroller (10)
If (10) is rotated to move the hose (a) to the right, there will be no risk of the hose (a) being cleaned loosening and interfering with its feeding, and the rotating brushes (
12) ("+3>(12')) (131) allows for thorough cleaning.

As described above, in the process of moving a fire hose from one end to the other using a continuous feed roller, the present invention sprays water from a nozzle while scrubbing both the upper and lower surfaces of the hose with a pair of upper and lower rotating brushes installed on the left and right sides, respectively. In this case, the pair of upper and lower rotating brushes on the right always move the hose toward the stone and rotate it in the vertical direction, and the pair of upper and lower rotating brushes on the left always move the hose toward the left. Is the rotation speed of these rotating brushes faster than the rotation speed of the feed roller?If the hose is moved to the left by the feed roller Even when moving to the right, the hoses inside the device will not loosen and interfere with the feeding, and the pair of upper and lower rotating brushes on the left side will also be moved to the right side. The rotating brush also has the effect of scrubbing both the top and bottom of the hose, so it is possible to clean dirty fire hoses after use in a short time and organize them efficiently.My father,
The hose feeding device in this cleaning device consists of only a pair of upper and lower feeding rollers installed between the left, right, upper, and lower rotating brushes. It has various features such as being able to move freely to the left and right without any trouble, the structure is simple, there are few failures, and it can be provided at low cost.It is also easy to operate and can easily clean a large number of fire hoses. (Since it can be cleaned automatically, it can make a great contribution to this industry.
