Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cleaning device for a sponge board for dewatering raw seaweed, with the aim of efficiently and reliably removing limescale and other dirt adhering to the sponge board for dewatering raw seaweed. .

When dehydrating raw seaweed, a method is used in which the raw seaweed is pasted onto a glue cage and the pasted surface is pressed against a sponge board, and the sponge board becomes contaminated with limescale and other dirt due to repeated use. However, since there was no known simple device for removing dirt from sponge boards, a manual method of rubbing the surface of the sponge board with ceramic shards or the like was used.

Additionally, there is a known device for cleaning glue clay, in which the glue is sent out with a roller and is sprayed with water while a rotating brush is used to rub it against the surface. ,
It was unsuitable for cleaning sponge boards.

However, in this invention, multiple sets of dewatering rollers and rotary rubbing tools were installed in parallel, and a water sprinkler was placed in front of the movement path of the sponge board, so that the sponge board did not contain water.
By repeating dehydration, the dirt inside the sponge board is lifted to the surface and the dirt on the surface is rubbed off, making it possible to completely and quickly remove the dirt inside the sponge board, which solves the conventional problems mentioned above. It is something.

This invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Inside the housing 1 are three sets of dewatering rollers 2, 2,
2a, 2a, 2b, 2b are installed in parallel at predetermined intervals, and each set of dewatering rollers 2, 2, 2
A, 2a, 2b, 2b are provided with rotary sliding tools 3, 3a and receiving rollers 4, 4a as a pair, respectively, and above the housing 1 are two water spray pipes 5, 5a. It is installed parallel to each of the rollers and at a predetermined interval (approximately above the rubbing tool).

The set of dewatering rollers 2, 2, 2a, 2a,
2b and 2b are arranged vertically facing each other with a predetermined gap (for example, 5 mm, but the thickness of the sponge plate is 20 mm). Furthermore, there are no particular restrictions on the material of the dewatering roller and receiving roller, and in addition to metal, they can be made of hard sponge, rubber, etc. coated on the outer periphery of a metal shaft, but if they are made of an elastic material, It is suitable because it blends well with the sponge board.

Next, in the rotary sliding tools 3 and 3a, contact pieces 7 are provided radially protruding from the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 6 (three or four contact pieces 7 are provided at equal intervals). The length of each of the rollers 3, 3a is equal to or slightly longer than the width of the sponge plate 8.

Each of the rollers and the rotary sliding friction tool is forcibly driven, and the number of rotations of each roller is the same, and the number of rotations of the rotating sliding friction tool is higher than that of each roller.

That is, a large gear 9 is attached to the output shaft of a motor (not shown), and transmission gears 10, 10a, 10b are attached to the shafts of one dewatering roller 2, 2a, 2b of each set of dewatering rollers, respectively. An annular chain 11 is installed between the transmission gears 10, 10a, 10b and interlocking gears 12, 12a, 12b coaxially attached to the shafts of the dewatering rollers 2, 2a, 2b facing each other. They are meshed with the attached interlocking gears 13, 13a, and 13b of the same size. Further, an annular chain 16 is installed between the small gear 14 attached to the output shaft of the motor and the transmission gears 15, 15a attached to the shafts 6 of the rotating sliding tools 3, 3a, respectively. 6
The interlocking gears 17, 17a attached to the rollers 17, 17a mesh with the interlocking gears 18, 18a attached to the shafts of the opposing rollers 4, 4a, respectively. In the above, the number of teeth of each gear is determined so that each dewatering roller and receiving roller rotate at a constant speed, and the rotary sliding tools 3 and 3a rotate at a higher speed (for example, about 3 times) than each roller.

In the figure, 19 and 20 are limit switches,
When the forward end of the sponge plate 8 touches the motor, the motor is rotated in the opposite direction.

Next, the operation of the apparatus shown in the above embodiment will be explained.

input to the motor and turn the large and small gears 9 and 14 into the third
When the motor is rotated in the direction of arrow 21 in the figure, the rotational force of the motor is transferred to gears 10 and 10 through chains 11 and 16.
a, 10b and gears 15, 15a, and each roller and rotary sliding tool rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, respectively.

While rotating each roller and rotary sliding tool and spouting water from the nozzle 22 of the water sprinkler pipes 5, 5a, the sponge plate 8 is inserted between the dewatering rollers 2, 2 from the right side of FIG. 1 as shown by the arrow 23. When exposed, the sponge plate 8 is compressed by the dewatering rollers 2, 2a (Fig. 4) and dehydrated, as indicated by the arrow 24 in Fig. 1.
moved in the direction. Next, the upper surface of the sponge plate 8 is rubbed by the contact piece 7 of the rotary sliding tool 3 (fifth
), the dirt on the top surface of the sponge plate 8 is removed.

The sponge plate 8 is then moved to dewatering rollers 2a and 2b.
However, between the first dewatering rollers 2, 2 and the second dewatering rollers 2a, 2a, water is again contained in the water sprayed from the nozzle 22, so the water contained during this time is transferred to the second dewatering roller. Second dewatering roller 2
a, 2a, and then the sponge plate 8
is the rubbing of dirt by the second rotary rubbing tool 3a,
It is compressed by third dewatering rollers 2b, 2b. The tip of the sponge plate 8 is the limit switch 1
9, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, so each roller and the rotary rubbing tool also rotate in the opposite direction, and the sponge plate 8 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow 25, undergoes dehydration and rubbing, and the tip of the sponge plate hits the limit switch 20. When touched, it moves again in the direction of arrow 23.

As mentioned above, when hydration and compression dehydration are repeated,
Dirt such as limescale accumulated inside the sponge board floats to the surface, so by rubbing the surface with a rotating rubbing tool, the dirt inside the sponge board can be reliably removed.

In order to remove dirt almost completely using the device of the above embodiment, it is necessary to move the sponge plate 8 back and forth several times, and the motor can be controlled by interlocking a counter with a limit switch or by using a timer. It is desirable to be able to automatically stop the operation.

In the above embodiment, three sets of dewatering rollers were provided, and a rotating rubbing roller was provided between them.
The number of dewatering rollers is not limited to the examples as long as it is two or more sets. In addition to the structure shown in the embodiment, a structure in which a protruding piece is provided in place of the abutting piece 7 in the form of a spiral may also be considered.
Furthermore, when a plurality of rotary rubbing tools are provided, dirt can be rubbed out from both the front and back surfaces of the sponge by reversing the vertical relationship of some of the rotary sliding tools and the receiving roller.

Note that the nozzle 5 may be arranged below the sponge moving path (the sponge moving path is provided by a surface connecting the gap between opposing rollers).

In other words, according to this invention, multiple sets of dewatering rollers and rotary rubbing tools are arranged side by side, and a water sprinkler is placed facing the movement path of the sponge plate, so that the dirt inside the sponge is removed from the surface by repeating hydration and dehydration. It is possible to completely, quickly and automatically remove dirt inside the sponge by scraping out the dirt on the surface while lifting it up.
