Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a horizontal running water washing machine for fabrics.

A large number of guide rollers are arranged in a zigzag pattern in two rows, front and back, and a liquid collection gutter is provided below each of the guide rollers, so that the fabric guided in a zigzag pattern from the bottom to the top by the guide rollers is directed upward. Horizontal running water washing machines for fabrics, which wash fabrics with washing liquid flowing down from the fabric, are widely used in the dyeing industry because they require a small installation area and have good washing efficiency.

As such a horizontal running water washing machine for fabrics, the guide roller is provided such that its lower part is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the liquid collection gutter, and a horizontal direction is provided above the inner side of each of the liquid collection gutter in the front and back direction. An intermediate guide roller is provided to bend the fabric in a chevron shape, and the fabric is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the liquid collection gutter, and the cleaning liquid that has adhered to the fabric due to this immersion is circulated through the intermediate guide roller, thereby improving the cleaning effect. It is known that the cleaning solution is improved and the amount of cleaning liquid required is reduced (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 104293/1983).

However, the above-mentioned known horizontal running water washer for fabrics is
Intermediate guide rollers are arranged in a zigzag pattern in two rows, front and rear, between the front and rear liquid collection gutter, and these intermediate guide rollers are installed across the left and right side walls of the casing of the water washer, so that In order for a worker to enter the casing to thread cloth or clean the liquid collection gutter, the distance between the front liquid collection gutter and the front intermediate guide roller, and the distance between the rear intermediate guide roller and the rear liquid collection gutter must be adjusted. It is necessary to install two doors on the side walls of the casing, each wide enough for a worker to fit in. This has disadvantages such as increasing the installation area of the water washer, increasing the number of parts, and making it expensive. Ta.

It is conceivable to arrange the intermediate guide rollers arranged in a zigzag pattern in two rows, front and back, in one row, but even if this is done, the length of the machine base will be shortened by the distance between the front and rear intermediate guide rollers. However, two working doors are required, front and rear, and the effect obtained is small.

In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional washing machine, the cleaning liquid overflows from the upper edge located inside the front and back direction of each liquid collection gutter lined up in two rows and flows downward, so the cleaning liquid overflows from both ends in the width direction. The fabric falls to the lowest liquid collection tank without washing the fabric below, reducing cleaning efficiency.Furthermore, after squeezing the fabric that has reached the upper end of the casing, it is lowered along the rear of the rear guide roller. Since the liquid was sent out to the outside of the casing through a water sealing device, the structure was complicated and the overall length of the casing was long.

This idea improves the usage efficiency of cleaning fluid, reduces the installation area of the water washer, and reduces the number of parts.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a large number of large diameter guide rollers 2 are arranged in two rows of front and back in a zigzag shape inside a casing 1 of a washing machine, and a liquid collection gutter 3 is arranged below each of these guide rollers 2.
is provided so that the lower part of the guide roller 2 is immersed in the cleaning liquid W stored in the liquid collection gutter 3.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this liquid collecting gutter 3 has an upper edge 3b of an inclined inner plate 3a located inside the casing 1 in the front-rear direction than the left and right side plates 3 c z 3 c. It is formed low, and an auxiliary device 4 having a rectangular cross section is connected to the upper edge 3b.

This auxiliary machine 4 has the left and right ends of the side plates 3c, 3
It is closed by side plates 4a, 4a continuous to c,
A large number of oval-shaped slits 4c having a width of 5 to 157a and a length of 20 to 30WIL are bored at intervals in the bottom plate 4b.

However, the total width B between the slits 4c at both ends is set equal to the width of the fabric having the smallest width among the fabrics processed by this washing machine.

A small-diameter intermediate guide roller 5 is provided above the liquid collection gutter 3 and close to the inside of the guide roller 2 in the front-rear direction, and the fabric F introduced to the lower surface of the guide roller 2 is guided by the intermediate guide roller 5. It is designed to be hung on the top and bent into a chevron shape.

Note that the guide roller 2 and the intermediate guide roller 5 are rotatably supported by bearings (not shown) attached to the side wall 1a of the casing 1 or a support (not shown) that fixes the side wall 1a.

A cloth outlet 1c is opened at the rear of the upper plate 1b of the casing 1 (on the right side in FIG. 1), facing the liquid collection gutter 3 at the uppermost level on the rear side, and the fabric F is connected to the rubber extractor above the cloth outlet 1c. It is delivered via a panda 6 and a pair of squeezing rollers 7.7.

Note that 8 is a cover fixed to the casing 1.

In addition, a nozzle 9 for spouting heated or room-temperature cleaning water is provided above the liquid collection gutter 3 at the top of the front side (on the left side in FIG. A door 10 is provided.

On the other hand, a bottom liquid collection tank 11 is provided below the casing 1, and a cloth supply port 12 is opened between the front plate 11a of the bottom liquid collection tank 11 and the front plate 1d of the casing 1. 1
1 includes a large-diameter guide roller 13 located below the front guide roller 2, and a large-diameter guide roller 1 located below the rear guide roller 2 and intermediate guide roller 5.
3 and a small-diameter intermediate guide roller 14 are provided, respectively.

In the above structure, the fabric F introduced from the fabric supply port 12 via the idle roller 15 outside the casing 1 is
The liquid is sent through the guide rollers 13, 14, 13 in the bottom liquid collecting tank 11 and the intermediate guide roller 5 at the lowermost stage on the front side to the guide roller 2 at the lowermost stage on the front side, and makes a U-turn at the guide roller 2.
Thereafter, it travels back and forth in a zigzag pattern from the bottom to the top, and is sent to the upper part of the casing 1, and is sent out from the guide roller 2 at the uppermost stage on the rear side, via the rubber expander 6, and the squeezing roller 7.

On the other hand, the cleaning water W jetted from the nozzle 9 moves along with the fabric F running from the uppermost guide roller 2 on the front side to the uppermost guide roller 2 on the rear side, It flows past the intermediate guide roller 5 on the guide roller 2 side into the next lower liquid collection gutter 3, then overflows into the auxiliary machine 4 from the upper edge 3b of the inner plate 3a of the liquid collection gutter 3. It flows down from the slit 4c of the auxiliary machine 4 onto the fabric F running below it toward the guide roller 2 at the top of the front side, and flows down along with the fabric F into the collection gutter 3 at the top of the front side. After flowing down to the next liquid collection gutter 3 in order, it is collected in the bottom liquid collection tank 11.

Therefore, since there are no guide rollers, guide rods, etc. between the front and rear intermediate guide rollers 5.5, in other words, between the front and rear liquid collection gutter 3.3, the front and rear liquid collection gutter 3.3
One worker can easily pass the cloth and clean the liquid collection gutter 3 by entering between them. Therefore, the distance between the front and rear liquid collection gutter 3.3 is set so that one worker can fit there. 30~
40 cm) is sufficient, and the number of doors 10 provided on the casing 1 may also be one.

Further, in the above embodiment, the cleaning water W accumulated in the liquid collection gutter 3
flows downward from the slit 4C of the auxiliary device 4, and since the width B of the area where the slit 4C is formed is matched to the minimum width of the fabric F, the entire amount of the washing water W flowing out from the slit 4C flows downward. The cleaning efficiency is improved by falling onto the fabric F.

Furthermore, since the rubber expander 6 and squeezing roller 7.7 on the cloth delivery side are located above the liquid collection gutter 3 at the top stage on the rear side, the fabric is Washing water W squeezed from F flows down to the liquid collection gutter 3 at the uppermost stage on the rear side.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the suction 4c of the auxiliary device 4 attached to the liquid collection gutter 3 is not limited to an oval shape, but can be formed, for example, in an oval shape or a rectangular shape with rounded corners.

As explained above, this invention arranges a large number of large-diameter guide rollers in a zigzag pattern in two rows in the front and back inside the casing, and arranges a liquid collecting gutter below each of the guide rollers. In a horizontal running water washing machine for cloth, which is guided in a zigzag manner from the bottom to the top by guide rollers, the cloth is washed with a washing liquid flowing down from above.
The large-diameter guide roller is provided so that its lower part is immersed in the cleaning liquid in the liquid collection gutter, and a small-diameter intermediate guide is provided above the liquid collection gutter adjacent to the inner side of the guide roller in the front and back direction. The rollers are installed to bend the horizontal fabric into a mountain shape, and the liquid collection gutter has both ends closed in the width direction at the inner end in the front and back direction, and a slit is bored in an area narrower than the width of the fabric on the bottom plate. Washing water overflowing from the liquid collection gutter flows down from the slit in the auxiliary device, and an expander and squeezing roller for fabric delivery are installed above the liquid collection gutter at the top. Since it is established that
Almost all of the cleaning liquid that overflows from the collection gutter flows down to the fabric below and is used for cleaning, making it possible to efficiently wash the fabric with a small amount of cleaning liquid. It is easy to clean the drain and the liquid collection gutter, and the installation area can be narrowed, and the number of parts can be reduced, making it possible to manufacture at low cost.
