This sterilization section S5 is intended to enhance the hygienic performance in order to remove harmful bacteria and viruses that may remain in the dish 11 which has been cleaned.

The operation of the automatic plate cleaning apparatus thus constructed will be described.

In the present embodiment, the washing brush cleaning apparatuses 10 are arranged in two rows so that the two plates 11 are simultaneously cleaned. However, the present invention is not limited to this, It is natural that it can be used by placing it.

First, each corner area (corner) of the plate 11 is inserted into the plate fixing member 22 of the plate feeding device 20 and fixed. In this process, the plate 11 is mounted on the plate conveying device 20 in a standing state. At this time, since the corner regions of the plate 11 are inserted into the insertion grooves 22A of the plate fastening members 22, the plate 11 is conveyed in a firmly fixed state without flowing forward, backward, and downward.

When the plate 11 is conveyed in the erected state and enters the primary cleaning section S1, an entrance sensor, not shown, senses this and ejects the cleaning liquid to the cleaning liquid nozzle. At the same time, when the upper and lower movement driving unit 34 of the upper and lower movement washing unit 30 is operated, the upper and lower rotation plates 36B rotate, so that the upper and lower link members 36A are linearly So that the upper and lower motion members 34B are repeatedly linearly moved in the upward and downward directions. Of course, since the upper and lower rotation plates 36B are a pair, both of the upper and lower motion members 34B repeatedly perform upward and downward movement in different directions. For example, when one of the upper and lower motion members 34B is raised, the other of the upper and lower motion members 34B is lowered.

By this operation, the upper and lower exercise cleaning brushes 32 located on both sides of the plate 11 are moved to the use area of the plate 11 conveyed while repeating the linear motion to the upper and lower sides of the plate 32 opposite to each other The unused area is cleaned. At this time, since the length of the cleaning brushes 32B is longer than the depth of the family members, the cups, and the valley portions, it is possible to easily clean the notches, the cupboards, and the like.

On the other hand, if it is sensed that the plate 11, which has been primarily cleaned by the upper and lower movement washing unit 30 in the first washing interval S1, is moved to the first washing interval S2, The portion 40 is operated. That is, the forward and backward movement members 44 are operated so that the forward and backward movement members 44D repeatedly reciprocate forward and backward by the forward and backward movement drive units 44. [ With this operation, the front and rear exercise cleaning brushes 42 are cleaned by repeating reciprocating motion in the forward and backward directions while being closely attached to both sides of the plate 11.

The upper and lower exercise washing brushes 32 are cleaned while repeatedly moving linearly upward and downward while being in contact with both sides of the plate 11 and the front and rear exercise cleaning brushes 42 are contacted with both sides of the plate So that the washing of the plate 11 can be completed completely. Particularly, since the valley portion of the unused area is formed in a straight line shape between each family member and the back surface of the cupboards, the top and bottom exercise washing brushes 32 and the front and rear exercise cleaning brushes 42, It is possible to complete the cleaning of the corrugated portion and to easily clean the folded corner portion formed at the edge of the unused area of the plate 11 .

On the other hand, the plate 11 having passed the second washing section S2 passes through the diaphragm 90 installed between the second washing section S2 and the rinsing section S3 and enters the rinsing section S3.

At this time, since the plate 11 passes through the elastic piece 94 of the diaphragm 90 which separates the second washing section S2 and the rinsing section S3, the plate 11 is sprayed in the second washing section S2 The washing liquid does not flow into the rinsing section S3.

When it is sensed that the plate 11 has entered the rinsing section S3, the rinsing water is sprayed from the rinsing water injection nozzle 60. [ The rinse water is sprayed to remove the cleaning liquid adhering to the plate 11. At this time, since the rinsing water spray nozzle 60 is provided so as to be inclined downward, the rinsing water is sprayed, so that the washing liquid can be smoothly washed.

After the washing liquid passes through the rinsing section S3 of the plate 11, the washing liquid passes through the diaphragm 90 which separates the rinsing section S3 and the drying section S4 and moves to the drying section S4.

When the food plate 11 is introduced into the drying space S4 and sensed by an inflow detection sensor (not shown), the hot air supply device 80 composed of a heater and a blower is operated, At the same time, the pneumatic cylinder 84 is operated and the hot air spray nozzles 82 located on both sides of the plate 11 descend.

As described above, since the hot air spray nozzles 82 located at the upper portions of both sides of the plate 11 are lowered, hot air is sprayed on both sides of the plate 11, so that water droplets buried on the surface of the plate 11 And can be removed while moving rapidly. At this time, the number of the hot-air spraying nozzles 82 may be a plurality, but is preferably one long in the longitudinal direction. This is intended to allow the warm air to be uniformly sprayed onto the plate 11.

When the plate 11 is out of the drying section S4, the pneumatic cylinder 84 is operated to raise the hot-air spraying nozzle 82 to the initial position (upper region).

The drying of the plate 11 is completed in this process, and the dried plate 11 is dried by the plate conveying device 20 to enter the sterilization section S5.

When the plate 11 passes through the diaphragm 90 that separates the drying section S4 and the sterilization section S5 and enters the sterilization section S5, the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 100 is turned on. Sterilization of the plate 11 is performed by the ultraviolet rays generated by the illumination of the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 100.

Meanwhile, the sensing sensor for detecting the entry of the plate 11 into each of the sections S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 may include an optical sensor, a limit switch, and the like. It is of course constructed to drive the driving units on the basis of the signal detected by the sensor.

As described above, in the case of the automatic washing apparatus for the plate having the dish washing washer apparatus 10 and the dish washing washer apparatus 10, the dish 11 is moved by the plate feeding apparatus 20 The washing brushes 32B and 42B are brought into contact with the plate 11 by the upper and lower movement washing portions 30 and the front and the back movement washing portions 40 in the upward, So that it can be completely cleaned up to the corner of the plate 11 and the corner portion of the plate 11, and the sanitary property can be improved by sterilizing the dried plate 11.
