Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partial washing device for removing partial stains on clothing such as sleeves and collars.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, since stains such as sleeves and collars of cutter shirts and socks of cotton and the like are difficult to remove, the parts are hand-washed using a brush or the like, and then put into a washing machine and washed. Was.

Therefore, as a thing with a partial washing part such as a sleeve and a collar,
There is a washing machine disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-1039. The structure of the washing machine will be described with reference to FIG. An opening 2 is provided in the center of a top plate 1 that covers the upper part of the main body of the washing machine, into which clothes are put. A washing portion 4 having an uneven shape is provided near the opening 2 on the front side of the top plate 1. Various switches were provided on the operation unit 5 provided behind the top plate 1 to enable setting of a washing process and the like.

Then, the washing part 4 partially scrubs the cuffs of the cutter shirt or the like, the collar or the like, and dirt under the socks. And washing was performed by operating a switch of the operation unit 5. However, in the above configuration,
There was a problem that it took a great deal of labor to perform the partial washing work, resulting in heavy labor.

Therefore, the present inventors have proposed an apparatus for easily cleaning using a rotating body for partial cleaning and cleaning. The structure is shown in FIG. The collar 14a of the cutter shirt is passed as a laundry between the washing rotator 8 and the washing table 9 elastically supported by the spring 10, and the washing rotator 8 is rotated to partially clean the dirt. The cleaning rotator 8 is configured to be rotated by a speed reduction unit 12 and a rotation output shaft 13 by driving a motor 11.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in the above-described apparatus, it is highly likely that a hand directly touches the cleaning rotator 8 which is a rotary exposure part during the cleaning operation, Scattered and adhered to the worker's body (excluding the hand) or the periphery of the partial washing device.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to perform a cleaning operation safely and to prevent foam from scattering from a cleaning rotating body.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the partial washing device of the present invention comprises:
A rotating body for cleaning having a rotating shaft in a horizontal direction, a rotating body driving unit connected to the rotating shaft, an outer box containing the rotating body driving unit, and a washing table provided below the cleaning rotating body. Comprising an upper portion of the cleaning rotator covered by a substantially arc-shaped cover, and provided with an elastic rib having a plurality of notches formed in the outer box, and an engaging portion provided on the rib and the cover. Both are detachably attached.

Operation According to the above configuration, since the cover covers the upper portion of the rotating body for washing, the washing can be safely performed without directly touching the rotating body for washing during washing, and is caused by the contact between the rotating body for washing and the object to be washed. The scattering of foam can be prevented. In addition, even if a large amount of laundry gets into the gap between the rotating body for cleaning and the cover and excessive force is applied to the cover, the cover is detachable because the cover is detachable from the outer box, and the cover or The outer box can be prevented from being destroyed.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 8 denotes a columnar rotating body for cleaning.
Reference numeral 17 denotes a brush body provided on the peripheral surface of the rotating body 8 for cleaning. Reference numeral 15 denotes an outer box, which houses a drive unit including the motor 11 and a speed reduction mechanism port. Reference numeral 15a is an arc-shaped projection that supports the rotating shaft 8a. Reference numeral 16 denotes an elastic rib provided with the protruding portion 15a via a groove. As shown in FIG. 2, a means for obtaining the elasticity of the rib 16 is to form a notch 16a in the rib 16, use an elastic material such as polypropylene, It is obtained by making the thickness of a thinner. Reference numeral 19 denotes an arc-shaped cover for covering the upper part of the cleaning rotator 8, the end of which is clamped in a groove between the projection 15 a and the rib 16. Reference numeral 19a engages with a projection 16 provided integrally with the end of the cover 19 to be clamped, and a hole 16a formed in the rib 16. Further, the rotating body 8 for cleaning is rotated by the rotational force of the motor 11 provided in the outer box 15 being transmitted through the damping mechanism 12 and the rotating shaft 8a. A washing table 9 provided below the washing rotating body 8 is vertically supported elastically. The cleaning object 14 is configured to pass between the cleaning rotator 8 and the cleaning table 9.

A method of cleaning the partial washing apparatus having the above configuration will be described below. When the rotating body 8 for cleaning is rotated in the direction of arrow C and the end of the object 14 to be cleaned is inserted between the rotating body 8 for cleaning and the cleaning table 9, the upper surface of the object 14 to be cleaned is rubbed against the brush body 17. , In the direction of arrow C. The feeding speed is determined by the rotation speed of the cleaning rotator 8. However, when the cleaning object 14 is very dirty, the object to be cleaned 14 is held with both hands to reduce the feeding speed or the cleaning rotator 8 is rotated. When the object is moved counter to the rotation (in the direction opposite to the arrow C), the number of times of rubbing the upper surface of the object 14 and the brush body 17 and the relative speed can be increased, thereby improving the cleaning performance.

Now, the attachment and detachment of the cover 19 will be described. By providing the convex portion 19a on the cover mounting side shown in FIG. 3, the cover 19 can be engaged with the hole 16a of the rib 16 of the outer case 15 so that the cover 19 can be
It can be attached and detached to give a click feeling.

That is, the arc-shaped cover 19 has a fitting margin with the rib 16 of the outer box of 5 to 10 mm, and is engaged with the elastic rib 16 on the upper surface immediately above the rotary output shaft arc-shaped protrusion 15a. Even if the cloth of the rotating body 8 for cleaning is entangled and an excessive force is applied to the engaging portion of the cover 19, the elastic action of the rib 16 prevents the cover 19 or the outer box 15 from being broken and easily. It is a structure that comes off. Also cover 19
In the cleaning operation, the cleaning rotator 8 which is a rotation exposure part is not directly touched by a hand, and the scattering of dirty bubbles from the rotator 8 can be prevented. Sho cover
The foam adhered to 19 can be reused after removing the cover 19 from the outer box 15 and washing with water.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a hole 19b is provided on the mounting side of the cover 19, and the fitting margin is 5 to 10 mm.
Also, a protrusion 16b is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the elastic rib 16 formed through a groove on the protrusion 15a of the outer case 15, and a cover 19 is provided.
The cover 19 can be detachably attached to the outer case 15 by engaging the hole 19b of the rib 16 with the projection 16b of the rib 16.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention,
By providing a cover on the upper part of the cleaning rotator, it is possible to prevent hand contact with the rotating exposure part and to prevent scattering of bubbles from the cleaning rotator. Further, by making the cover and the outer box detachable, even if the object to be cleaned is entangled in the cleaning rotating body, the cover or the outer box can be prevented from being broken.
