Description

Golf club cleaning device

The present invention relates to a golf club steam cleaning device.

Golf clubs used for golf include various types of clubs such as drivers, woods, and irons. These are selectively used according to the play situation from tee shot to putting.

There is a groove in the club face to increase the friction with the ball. This groove generates the backspin of the ball. Therefore, if the groove is soiled or foreign matter is stuck backspin significantly. In the end, the ball fell to the green, rolled badly, or the ballistic shot was shortened, resulting in a short shot. In particular, if there is a foreign object between the iron grooves, the spin amount is reduced and the impact feeling is changed.

If the grip has been left unwashed for a long time, the sweat from your hands will stick to the grip and the salt will crack badly. This can reduce grip and hand friction, causing miss shots in rounds.

The tips on how to care for golf clubs advise you to use a water and a simple neutral detergent to rub the brush with a brush to remove any debris that is deeply embedded in the surface and grooves. I recommend it.

However, this was not taken into account for damage to the golf club by the brush. This is because foreign matter on the surface is fixed, and you cannot make a clean face without applying a force to clean it with a brush.

No one would like to damage golf clubs, which account for the largest proportion of golf equipment. In fact, it is very difficult to clean several golf clubs and the cleaning equipment is too poor. In consideration of these conditions, golf club cleaning devices have been developed in the past.

Figure 1 schematically shows a conventional golf club cleaning apparatus.

As shown in the drawing, the conventional golf club cleaning device includes a cleaning container 11 in which a cleaning liquid 13 is contained and a portion of the head 25c and the shaft 25b of the golf club 25 is accommodated therein, and the cleaning container. It is provided with an inside of the (11) and consists of an ultrasonic wave generator 15 for applying ultrasonic waves to the cleaning liquid 13, the support plate 21 and the holder 23 for maintaining the golf club 25 in an upright state.

In addition, the upper portion of the washing tub 11 is provided with an inlet and outlet 19, the golf club 25 through the inlet and outlet 19 can be put into or removed from the washing tub (11).

However, the above-described conventional washing apparatus uses a neutral detergent as the washing liquid 13, but after the washing process, sticking occurs to the golf club 25 due to the remaining amount of the washing liquid 13 (neutral detergent), and then rinsing again. It's a hassle to rinse with clear water in your tank.

In addition, when the golf club 25 is heavily polluted, the pollutant is dissolved in the washing solution 13, the washing solution 13 becomes cloudy, and the cleaning solution has to be replaced frequently.

The ultrasonic cleaning has a major role in removing foreign matters attached to metals or other substances, and uses a neutral detergent, but does not sterilize grips contaminated by sweat.

In addition, the cleaning device described above also has a problem in accordance with the use of the cleaning liquid (13). For example, since the washing solution 13 itself is a chemical that can cause pollution, there is an environmental load. This problem is even worse if the cleaning solution 13 needs to be replaced frequently.

The present invention has been created to solve the above problems, the head and shaft of the golf club, as well as the grip can be easily washed any part, especially since the use of high temperature steam sterilization effect of the grip good, no environmental load golf club It is an object to provide a steam cleaning device.

In this way, the handle 43 is installed on the doors 41 and 42 so that the main body 32 can be conveniently opened when necessary. However, it is preferable to apply a separate locking device to the doors 41 and 42 so that no one can open the doors 41 and 42.

One of the doors 41 and 42 includes a charge input unit 47, a display unit 49, and an auxiliary switch 51 at one side of the door 41.

The charge input unit 47 is a passage through which a person who uses the steam cleaning device 31 charges a charge. When the bill is unfolded in the charge input unit 47, for example, the control unit inside the main body 32 receives the bill and generates steam for a predetermined time. Charges charged through the charge input unit 47 are collected in a charge container 67 provided on the inner side surface of the door 41.

In addition, the display unit 49 is a timer controlled by the control unit 65 to indicate the operation remaining time of the steam generator 63. Through the display unit 49, it is possible to know how much time the steam currently being ejected through the handle unit 55 stops.

The auxiliary switch 51 is an on / off switch, and is a switch for manually controlling the operation of the steam generator 63. The steam generator 63 is basically turned on and off by the controller 65, but can be turned on and off through the auxiliary switch 51.

On the other hand, the washing table 33 is a work table for placing a golf club (not shown) to be washed thereon, and comprises a flat top plate 33a and a blocking plate 33c positioned at the edge of the top plate 33a.

The top plate 33a is a rectangular plate and provides a space on which other items of the user can be placed. For example, when cleaning a large number of golf clubs, temporary golf clubs are to be cleaned. The width of the top plate 33a may vary depending on the case.

In addition, the blocking plate 33c prevents the object placed on the top plate 33a from rolling down, and also prevents water from flowing down when there is water in the top plate 33a.

The through hole 33b is provided in the corner part of the upper plate 33a. The through hole 33b passes through the steam hose 53 as a passage through which the internal space 57 of the main body 32 communicates upward. The steam hose 53 is extended to the outside through the through hole 33b in one end is connected to the steam generating portion 63, the extension end is coupled to the handle portion (55).

In addition, the washing tank 35 is installed on the upper plate 33a. The washing tank 35 takes the form of a sink ball in the sink and has a drain hole 35a at the bottom. The washing of the golf club is carried out in the washing tank (35).

That is, the head or grip of the golf club is located in the inner region of the cleaning tank 35, while holding the handle portion 55 to eject steam to the head or grip. The steam injection switch 55b of the handle portion 55 is designed to be naturally pressed when the handle portion 55 is held so that the steam injection is automatically cut off when the handle portion 55 is released, thereby reducing the risk of burns due to unnecessary ejection.

The washing tank 35 is a space where steam washing is performed. In the case of the shaft of the golf club, because the length is long, since it does not enter into the washing tank 35, the golf club is washed by spraying the steam downward in the state over the washing tank 35 to perform the cleaning.

The steam injection switch 55b of the handle part 55 is designed to be naturally pressed when the handle part 55 is held, and the steam injection is automatically cut off at the moment of releasing the handle part 55, thereby reducing the risk of burns due to unnecessary ejection. none.

An artificial turf board 36 is installed in the washing tank 35. The artificial turf plate 36 is laid on the bottom of the washing tank 35 to filter sand or dirt away from the golf club during washing, and to prevent the golf club from being scratched and damaged by the bottom of the washing tank 35 during the washing operation. Play a role. The artificial grass plate 36 recycles the mat discarded after 2 to 3 months of use at the practice at bat.

The condensed water generated through the washing of the golf club in the washing tank 35 is moved to the waste water container 61 through the washing water tube 35b through the drain hole 35a.

In addition, at the opposite corner of the upper plate 33a, a handle rest 72 is provided. The handle restraint 72 takes the form of a cup approximately, and the bottom thereof communicates with the wash water tube 35b through a connecting tube (73 in FIG. 3). Therefore, when the handle portion 55 is inserted into the handle holder 72 after the steam washing, the residual water drops falling from the handle portion 55 fall into the waste water container 61. The structure of the handle restraint 72 can be variously changed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the accommodation space 57 is partitioned by a plurality of diaphragms 71. The arrangement of the spaces divided by the structure of the diaphragm 71 and the diaphragm may be changed as many as possible. Referring to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the water supply tank 59, the waste water tank 61, and the steam generator 63 are divided by the diaphragm 71.

It is composed of a water supply tank 59 for storing raw water and a steam boiler bucket 63a for supplying water into the steamer, and the water supply tank 59 must open the left door to replenish water. The principle of supplying water to the water supply tank 59 in the storage tank is natural pressure, and a small pump is additionally installed for rapid water supply.

The water supply container 59 is connected to the steam boiler bucket 63a through the water supply tube 59a and temporarily accommodated therein.

 In addition, the steam boiler water level detection switch (63b of FIG. 4) is installed inside the steam boiler bucket (63a) so that the water level in the steam boiler bucket (63a) is kept constant. In order to keep the water level constant, the water supply solenoid valve 69 is installed in the water supply tube 59a.

The water supply solenoid valve 69 is opened and closed by the water level detection switch 63b. When the water level is low, the water supply solenoid valve 69 opens so that water is filled in the steam boiler bucket 63a.

In some cases, it is possible to connect the water supply solenoid valve 69 to the water supply solenoid valve 69 in the same manner as the water supply of the water purifier device in some cases, but the conditions in which the device is used are often outdoors. Avoid it.

In addition, the waste water container 61 is connected to the drain hole 35a of the washing tank 35 through the washing water tube 35b. Therefore, the treated water discharged from the washing tank 35 flows downward along the washing water tube 35b and collects in the waste water container 61. In addition, the water discharged from the handle restraint 72 is also collected in the waste water container 61 through the connection tube 73 and the washing water tube (35b).

Reference numeral 38 denotes a hot air outlet. The hot air outlet 38 is a vent for preventing the temperature inside the body 32 from being excessively raised.

On the other hand, the steam generator 63, the steam boiler water supply pump 63c for pumping the water through the steam boiler bucket (63a) and the water of the steam boiler bucket (63a) to replenish water from the water supply tank (59) ), And a steam boiler 63d for generating steam by heating the water pumped by the feed water pump 63c, and a steam solenoid valve for controlling the amount of steam discharged through the steam generated by the steam boiler 63d. (63e). The steam solenoid valve 63e is controlled by the controller (65 in FIG. 4).

The steam solenoid valve 63e is connected to the handle part 55 through the steam hose 53. The water supply pump 63c and the steam boiler 63d are connected to the steam connection tube 63f.

The handle portion 55, which is held by the user, passes the steam therein. The tip portion of the handle portion 55 is provided with a steam injection nozzle (55a), the side portion is equipped with a spray switch (55b).

The steam spray nozzle 55a serves to increase the ejection pressure of steam passing through the handle part 55. A soft brush attached to the end is suitable for applying some force to areas that are difficult to clean. The steam flow pressure can be applied to the golf club by raising the steam blowing pressure.

In addition, the injection switch 55b opens and closes the flow path inside the handle part 55. It is possible to manually control the ejection of steam through the injection switch (55b). For example, it is possible to stop the jet of steam for a while through the injection switch (55b). This reminds me of a power-saving shower head.

The shape of the handle portion may be variously changed for the convenience of the user.

Figure 4 is a block diagram showing for explaining the operation of the golf club steam cleaning device 31 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to wash the golf club using the golf club steam cleaning device 31 of the present embodiment, the golf club to be washed is put on the washing table 33, and the fee is input to the charge input unit 47. When the charge is input, the control unit 65 operates the steam generating unit 63. When the steam generating unit 63 is operated, steam begins to be ejected through the handle unit 55. The user grabs the handle part 55 and applies the jet steam to the contaminated portion of the golf club. The steam is a high temperature of 140 ℃ or more, and eliminates the contaminants attached to the golf club and at the same time sterilize the bacteria.

While steam is ejected through the handle part 55, the remaining time of steam generator operation is shown on the display 49. The user proceeds with the washing in consideration of the remaining time.

During the process, if the water level of the steam boiler bucket 63a drops, the water level detection switch 63b sends the fact to the controller 65, causing the controller 65 to open the water supply solenoid valve 69. When the water supply solenoid valve 69 is opened, water inside the water supply tank 59 is replenished to the water tank 63a by passing through the water supply tube 59a.

When the time corresponding to the fee has elapsed, the controller 65 stops the operation of the steam generator 63. At this time, if the user adds a fee, the steam generating unit 63 may be operated again to continue steam cleaning.

Condensate generated during steam washing in this manner is collected in the waste water container 61 through the washing water tube 35b.
