Description

{TUMBLER WASHING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a tumbler cleaning apparatus capable of simultaneously cleaning a tumbler or a cup formed of various materials and sizes such as glass, stainless steel, plastic, etc., and a lid and a straw by a tumbler cleaning apparatus.

As global pollution problems arise from the use of plastics and disposable products, the Ministry of Environment will use the 50% plastic waste reduction measures and resource recycling laws by 2030 at the coffee shop or at the fast food store to use disposable cups It is prohibited.

As such regulations are implemented, the use of disposable cups is being indirectly reduced by providing beverages to customers at stores with cups or mugs, or by placing tumblers and other items at stores to induce purchases.

The tumbler is made of various materials such as glass, plastic and stainless steel. It has an elongated shape and has no handle. It is a cup with a lid. It is mainly used for storing or drinking liquids such as water, coffee, juice.

However, the tumbler is manufactured with a narrow inner diameter and a cylindrical shape, and it is difficult to clean the bottom of the tumbler cleanly using a general cleaning tool.

Another type of tumbler is more difficult to clean using a tumbler wash brush with a narrow inlet and a relatively large inner diameter and a deep cylindrical shape.

In addition, the tumbler is mainly made of a cylindrical shape, and the bacteria are proliferated by the non-washed beverage residue, which causes abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Insert the rubber packing into the lid of the tumbler to maintain the cold temperature of the drink for a long time.

However, the rubber packing is inserted between the rubber when the sugar and the oil-containing beverage are stored, causing the odor caused by the corruption.

As described above, since the tumbler has to be cleaned immediately after use, a device for cleaning the tumbler is being developed.

As a background technique of the present invention, there have been proposed a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, which is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1641659 (hereinafter, referred to as document 1), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1803315 (hereinafter referred to as document 2), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0104265 (Hereinafter referred to as document 3) and Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2018-0085865 (hereinafter referred to as document 4).

Reference 1 is directed to an ion water supply unit which is vertically movable in a state where one side of the tumbler is fixed so as to be positioned above by a tumbler cleaning device and an apparatus in which the inside of the tumbler is cleaned by the ultrasonic generator.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the apparatus of Document 1, the inside of the tumbler is cleaned by supplying the ionized water to the tumbler and inserting the ultrasonic wave generator, but it is difficult to completely remove the drink residue using ultrasonic waves alone.

Document 2 relates to a cleaning unit for cleaning the inside of a tumbler by using a system and method for providing an associated service using a tumbler washing machine and a tumbler, and a device for outputting an advertisement / promotional moving picture when cleaning.

2, the tumbler is fixed using a fixing device in a manner that the tumbler is rotated by a motor to clean the inside of the tumbler. However, in the case of a tumbler having a narrow width, , An accident that the tumbler is released from the apparatus may occur.

Further, the device of Document 2 can be broken in the case of a tumbler made of glass so that the tumbler can be rotated.

The apparatus of the above documents 1 and 2 only cleans the inner space of the tumbler, and the bacteria remaining in the tumbler can propagate due to the water that is not dried and remains.

Reference 3 refers to a smart type automatic bottle cleaning apparatus in which internal cleaning is automatically performed by water injection and cleaning brush, and water is removed by a water-removing heater and an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp.

As shown in Fig. 3, the apparatus of Document 3 is difficult to apply to a tumbler having a wide width or a narrow width because the cleaning brush exerts a cleaning function by directly touching the inner surface of a bottle having a constant width such as a bottle.

Document 4 relates to an apparatus for cleaning a tumbler with ultrasonic vibration and high pressure spraying, a steam, and a sterilizing structure having a multi-sterilizing structure through ultraviolet rays, with a tumbler washing apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus of Document 4 uses a tumbler lying down in a working tank, and even if washing water or steam is sprayed, a tubular formed tumbler is not fixed, so that the outside of the tumbler is washed rather than inside.

Further, it is difficult to clean the inside of the tumbler by using the washing and the steam at the same time because the apparatus has the washing spray part on the working tank side and the steam spray part on the other side.

The apparatuses of the above documents 1 to 4 only clean the inside of the tumbler, and do not clean the accessories such as the lid and the straw, so that there is a problem that the malodor is continuously generated.

The first rotation part 143 is coupled to the upper end of the first cleaning fixing part 142 and can supply rotational force to rotate the first cleaning part 141 by 360 °.

It is possible to clean the inside of the tumbler 2 cleanly by rotating the first cleaning table 141 by the first rotating part 143 and to prevent the tumbler 2 from being dislocated by the rotational force because the tumbler 2 is not rotated Can be solved.

The stretchable and contractible portion 144 may be coupled to the upper end of the first rotation portion 143 and may adjust the length of the first cleaning table 141 to clean the tumblers 2 having different heights.

The stretchable and contractible portion 144 may be a spring or a multi-stage structure.

If the tumbler 2 is made of stainless steel, it is best to have a multi-stage spring because the weight of the spring is difficult to cover for a long time.

Accordingly, if the bottom surface of the tumbler 2 does not touch the first sensing portion 148, the extensible portion 144 of the multi-stage structure is extended and the tumbler 2 If the side surface does not touch, the stretchable and contractible portion 144 is reduced and can be automatically adjusted according to the length of the tumbler 2 to clean the inside of the tumbler 2.

The plurality of cleaning rods 145, 146, and 147 may include a plurality of holes H through which at least one of high-pressure water, steam, or dry air is discharged, have.

The plurality of cleaning rods 145, 146 and 147 may have an angle between 20 and 160 degrees between the first cleaning rods 141 and the cleaning rods 145, 146 and 147, The number of the cleaning rods 145, 146, and 147 may be increased or decreased depending on the size of the tumbler cleaning apparatus 1.

The diameter of the hole H may be 0.01 to 10 mm.

The first cleaning rods 145 are formed by symmetrically forming the first cleaning rods 145 'around the vertical direction of the first cleaning rods 141.

8A, the first cleaning bars 145 and 145 'are formed at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the first cleaning table 141, so that the bottom surface of the tumbler 2 The high pressure water can be shot on the corner surface to cleanly remove foreign matter.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the second cleaning rod 146 can be cleaned at the side surface inside the tumbler 2 as the angle between the first cleaning table 141 and the first cleaning table 141 is 90 °.

The third cleaning rod 147 may be formed at a position symmetrical to the second cleaning rod 146 about the vertical direction of the first cleaning table 141 as shown in FIG.

The third cleaning rod 147 has an angle of 135 ° to the first cleaning table 141 so that the side surface and the inlet of the tumbler 2 can be cleaned.

Particularly, the third cleaning rod 147 can clean the valley cleanly as it impinges on foreign matter trapped between the tumbler 2 and the lid 3 and the foreign matter trapped between the thread and the high pressure water.

That is, in the present invention, the cleaning rods 145, 146, and 147 are formed at different angles, and are rotated 360 degrees by the first rotating portion 143 to uniformly clean the bottom surface, the corner surface, the side surface, and the inlet of the tumbler 2 Can be cleaned.

When the first cleaning table 141 is viewed in a plan view, the cleaning bars 145, 145 ', 146, 147 may be formed at intervals of 90 degrees between the cleaning bars and the cleaning bars.

The first sensing unit 148 is installed at the upper end of the first cleaning table 141 and detects the distance between the bottom surface of the tumbler 2 drawn by using a non-contact type laser to detect the length of the tumbler 2, It is possible to adjust the length of the stretchable and contractible portion 144 or to adjust the length of the movable base 132 by recognizing the distance between the sensing portions 148.

When the bottom surface of the tumbler 2 is recognized, the first sensing unit 148 is moved to a predetermined height (for example, 0.5 to 1 cm) between the bottom surface of the tumbler 2 and the first sensing unit 148, The inside of the tumbler (2) can be cleaned while leaving it.

This is because the cleaning rods 145, 145 ', 146, and 147 and the first sensing portion 148 when the tumbler 2 is rotated within the tumbler 2 are damaged due to scratching the bottom surface and the side surface of the tumbler 2, The failure of the cleaning device 140 can be prevented.

The display unit 150 may further include an upper end of the outer surface of the first space unit 110.

The display unit 150 may include a liquid crystal display device.

Preferably, a flat panel display, more preferably a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), and the like may be used, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Also, the display unit 150 may include buttons for selecting start, stop, high pressure water, steam, dry air, ultraviolet sterilization, ultrasonic disinfection, etc. with a touch panel capable of operating the tumbler cleaning apparatus 1.

After the user inserts the tumbler 2 and / or the lid 3 into the tumbler cleaning device 1, the desired function can be selected and cleaned.

Particularly, the first washing unit 100 for washing the tumbler 2 and the second washing unit 200 for washing the lid 3 or the tumbler accessory are simultaneously or individually selected on the display unit 150, .

The time taken for the tumbler 2 and / or the lid 3 to be cleaned by the tumbler cleaning apparatus 1 is 10 to 140 seconds, and the time may be increased or decreased according to the cleaning method selected by the user.

When the high-pressure water is selected, the high-pressure water is sprayed into the tumbler 2 for 30 to 40 seconds, or fired into the second space 210 where the lid 3 is placed, have.

At this time, the pressure of the high-pressure water may be 20 to 100 bar, preferably 30 to 100 bar, more preferably 40 to 90 bar, and most preferably 70 to 80 bar.

If the high-pressure water is configured to be less than 20 bar, it is not possible to remove the foreign substances sticking to the inside of the tumbler 2, such as washing with a general rubber hose. If the pressure is more than 100 bar, the tumbler 2, A safety accident may occur.

Therefore, it is best to use a high-pressure water of 70 to 80 bar, which is safe for the user, while removing the foreign matter adhering to the inside of the tumbler 2.

When the steam is selected, the steam may be sprayed into the tumbler 2 for 10 to 30 seconds or may be fired into the second space 210 where the lid 3 is placed to sterilize the interior.

At this time, the temperature of the steam is 50 to 100 ° C, preferably 60 to 90 ° C, and more preferably 70 to 80 ° C.

If the temperature of the steam is less than 50 ° C, it takes more time to have a sterilizing effect. If the temperature exceeds 100 ° C, deformation may occur in the plastic tumbler 2 or the lid 3.

Therefore, it is best not to deform the tumbler 2, but to use steam at 70 to 80 DEG C in order to have a germicidal effect.

When the dry air is selected, the dry air can be introduced into the second space 210 in which the lid 3 is placed, for 10 to 30 seconds to completely remove the water remaining in the tumbler 2.

At this time, the drying air may be 15 to 35 ° C, preferably 20 to 30 ° C.

If the temperature of the drying air is less than 15 ° C, it takes more time to cool down. If it exceeds 35 ° C, the user may become hot to touch and burn.

Therefore, it is best to use dry air at 20 to 30 ° C in order to dry it in a short time without causing an image to the user.

The ultraviolet sterilization may be performed at a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm for 10 to 60 seconds.

In addition, ultraviolet sterilization is performed simultaneously with other cleaning functions, so that cleaning and sterilization are simultaneously performed for a short time.

Since the ultrasonic disinfection can be performed in a state where the washing liquid is present in the second space 210, the washing step due to the high pressure water is performed first and can be performed for 10 to 40 seconds.

In ultrasonic sterilization, the ultrasonic frequency is preferably 40 kHz or more, preferably 40 to 50 kHz.

This is because the size of the bubbles becomes fine at 40 to 50 kHz, so that it can be precisely cleaned and the noise generation is low.

Particularly, the lid 3 is formed with a groove and a rubber packing to be combined with the tumbler 2, so that water mist and drink residue are caught in a fine gap and cause malodor.

These fine gaps can be removed through fine bubbles through 40 to 50 kHz.
