は、極めて重要である。2. Description of the Related Art In dry cleaning, some petroleum-based solvents are used. However, since petroleum-based solvents have a low flash point of about 41 ° C, they easily ignite,
In petroleum-based dry cleaners that use petroleum-based solvents, the solvent gas is ignited by sparks caused by static electricity on the object to be washed or by pressure contact between the metal product inside the object to be washed and the metal inner case. May explode. In order to prevent such an explosion accident, in a petroleum dry cleaner, the cleaning / drying system is decompressed by a vacuum pump to reduce oxygen, and nitrogen is injected from the nitrogen supply device into the cleaning / drying system. Therefore, the oxygen concentration (volume%) of the cleaning / drying system is set to 11% or less, where there is no danger of explosion. And, in order to constantly grasp the oxygen concentration of the cleaning / drying system, an oxygen concentration detector is installed in the petroleum dry cleaner, and when the oxygen concentration exceeds 11%, which is a danger of explosion, an alarm is issued and operation is started. Its operation is controlled so as to stop. Therefore, the control of oxygen concentration is extremely important.

る。The air piston 10 is reciprocated by the air cylinder 11, the gas in the cleaning tank 1 is sucked in by the pipe 3, and is cooled and dehumidified by the cooler 4 having the cooling water inlet 4A and the cooling water outlet 4B. Concentrator mounting pipe 7,
The check valve 5 and the check valve 8 feed the stuff in only one direction into the chamber 2 of the drying system through the pipe 9. The oximeter 13 touches the gas passing through the oximeter mounting pipe 7 to detect the oxygen concentration. The gas is forcibly circulated by the air piston 10 and the air cylinder 11 in order to quickly detect the gas whose oxygen concentration changes, and the gas sucked by the cooler 4 is cooled and dehumidified.
This is because if the dew condensation occurs in the oxygen concentration meter 13, the oxygen concentration cannot be accurately detected, so that the dew condensation is prevented. The drying system is a washing tank (outer body / inner body) 1, chamber 2, lint filter 14, fan 15, cooler 1.
6, the heater 17 is operated, and the heater 17 is operated in the drying process and the cooler 16 is operated in the cool down process to heat and cool the air in the drying system. After the drying process or the cool down process is completed, when a door (not shown) for loading and unloading the object to be washed is opened, the fan 15 automatically operates, and at the same time, the exhaust valve 18 provided in the chamber 2 is also opened. The indoor air is sucked in through the door and discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust valve 18 to prevent the solvent gas from flowing out into the working environment.

Therefore, when the oxygen concentration meter 13 is regularly inspected and calibrated due to the importance of managing the oxygen concentration, it is necessary to remove it from the oxygen concentration meter attachment pipe 7 and expose the oxygen concentration meter 13 to the atmosphere. Therefore, calibration of the oximeter 13 is not easy and takes time. Note that the oximeter 13 is in contact with the atmosphere having an oxygen concentration (volume%) of 20.9% by being exposed to the atmosphere, and if there is an error, it is automatically calibrated by its internal mechanism.
