Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a washing machine that continuously washes tableware, industrial products, etc. More specifically, the invention relates to a washing machine that continuously washes tableware, industrial products, etc. The present invention relates to a conveyor-type washer that performs cleaning.

<Prior art> Conventionally, general conveyor-type washing machines have installed a conveyor made of, for example, a net inside the washing tank in order to allow the washing shower to pass from below and to drop the dirt from the object to be washed down. However, a shower pipe for spraying a cleaning shower is disposed in the transverse direction of this conveyor.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, the shower pipe of the conveyor-type washer with the above configuration has a structure that allows for uniform shower cleaning no matter where the object to be cleaned is placed in the width direction of the conveyor. In addition, a large number of shower nozzles were arranged throughout the shower pipe without regard to the position of the object to be cleaned, which resulted in a drop in the water pressure and amount of water sprayed from the shower, and a reduction in the amount of water being sprayed compared to the total amount of shower water being sprayed. There was a problem in that the ratio of the amount of shower to effectively wash the washing items was small, making it impossible to carry out efficient shower washing.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a conveyor-type washer that can efficiently shower and clean the objects to be cleaned on the conveyor. A plurality of conveyance paths are formed on the conveyor by erecting partition plates at predetermined intervals along the conveyance direction, and a shower nozzle that ejects a concentrated shower onto each conveyance path is connected to the conveyor. This is a conveyor type cleaning machine installed in a pipe.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of a conveyor 1 and a shower nozzle 13 of a conveyor-type washing machine. The conveyor 1 has endless chains 3 disposed on both sides, and a net 5 stretched between the endless chains 8. A partition is provided at both ends and approximately in the center of the net 5 along the conveying direction of the conveyor. The plate 7 is erected with its base fixed, so that, for example, two conveyance paths 8 partitioned by the partition plate 7 are formed on the conveyor 1. Shower pipes 15 are disposed above and below the conveyor 1 in the transverse direction of the conveyor.
Shower nozzles 13 are arranged in the shower tube 15 to correspond to each of the two conveyance paths 8 and spray showers in a concentrated manner to the two conveyance paths 8 . Shower pipe 1
5 is connected via piping to the discharge side of a pump (not shown) or to a water supply.

In the above, the conveyor 1 is not particularly limited as long as it can pass the cleaning shower from below and drop the dirt from the objects to be cleaned, so instead of the net 5, it may be a lattice-shaped rod conveyor. Further, the shower pipe 15 may be located only at one of the upper and lower sides of the conveyor 1. Further, as long as the shower nozzles 13 are directed so as to concentrate on each conveyance path, there may be a plurality of shower nozzles 13 for each conveyance path.

As shown in FIG. 2, the conveyor 1 thus constructed is installed in a cleaning tank 9 and is driven by the rotation of a sprocket 11. On the other hand, the shower pipe 15 having the shower nozzle 13 is connected to the conveyor 1.
Three of each are arranged side by side so as to traverse the upper side from above and below. The cleaning portion on the conveyor is covered with a cover 17 to prevent the cleaning shower from the shower nozzle 13 from scattering. still,
In the cover 17, 19 is an inlet for the object to be cleaned;
1 is an outlet.

Next, the operation of the conveyor type washer will be explained.

First, the objects 10 to be cleaned are placed on the right end of the conveyor on each conveyance path 8 . The object to be cleaned 10 is conveyed from right to left in FIG. 2, and receives cleaning showers sprayed from shower nozzles 13 disposed above and below the conveyance path 8, respectively. Since this cleaning shower is directed toward each conveyance path 8, it is sprayed intensively onto the object 10 to be cleaned, and cleaning is performed satisfactorily with a sufficient amount of water and pressure. The object to be cleaned 10 from which dirt has been removed by the cleaning shower is further conveyed to the left and sent out from the outlet 21.

In addition, in the above example, the partition plate was set up above the conveyor, but it is also possible to place the partition plate fixed to the main body frame, etc., stationary at a position slightly away from the top of the conveyor, and divide the top of the conveyor into multiple conveyance paths. You can also do it like this.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the conveyor-type cleaning machine of the present invention, by providing a partition plate in the conveyance direction, a plurality of conveyance paths are formed on the conveyor, and the flow is concentrated on each conveyance path. Because the shower nozzle that sprays the shower is installed in the shower pipe, compared to the conventional shower pipe that has many shower nozzles distributed, it sprays the object with sufficient amount of water and pressure without wasting it, resulting in more efficient cleaning. can do. Furthermore, the number of shower nozzles is naturally smaller than in the past, so even when using the same pump pressure and water pressure, the water volume and pressure of the cleaning shower can be increased to effectively remove dirt.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, even if dirt etc. from the objects to be cleaned are splashed by the high-pressure washing water, the scattered dirt is blocked by the partition plate and does not adhere to the objects to be washed on the adjacent conveyance path. This can prevent secondary contamination, so to speak.
