Description

この発明は、車椅子のタイヤの洗浄装置に関するもので、回転ブラシの構造とこれに並設される固定ブラシの構造に特徴がある上記装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a wheelchair tire cleaning apparatus, and relates to the above-described apparatus characterized by the structure of a rotating brush and the structure of a fixed brush arranged in parallel therewith.

車椅子のタイヤ洗浄装置として、車椅子の車輪を当該車輪の軸と平行な軸回りに回転する回転ブラシで摺擦して洗浄する装置が公知である。回転ブラシは、車椅子の両側(左右)の車輪に対応する位置にそれぞれ設けられて両側の車輪のタイヤを同時に洗浄する構造となっている。   2. Description of the Related Art As a wheelchair tire cleaning device, a device for cleaning a wheelchair wheel by rubbing with a rotating brush rotating around an axis parallel to the axis of the wheel is known. The rotating brush is provided at a position corresponding to the wheel on both sides (left and right) of the wheelchair, and has a structure for simultaneously washing the tires on the wheels on both sides.

このような構造のタイヤ洗浄装置において、回転ブラシの毛をその回転軸と直交する放射方向にのみ設けたブラシを用いる構造では、タイヤ側面の洗浄を十分に行うことができない。タイヤの側面の洗浄も行えるようにするためには、回転ブラシにタイヤ側面と直交する方向の毛、すなわち回転ブラシの回転軸と略平行な方向に植立された毛を設けておく必要がある。   In the tire cleaning device having such a structure, the tire side face cannot be sufficiently cleaned in a structure using a brush in which the bristles of the rotating brush are provided only in the radial direction orthogonal to the rotation axis. In order to be able to clean the side surface of the tire, it is necessary to provide bristles in a direction perpendicular to the tire side surface on the rotating brush, that is, bristles planted in a direction substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating brush. .

また、車輪の全周を洗浄するには、回転ブラシを車輪の外周に沿って相対移動しなければならない。この相対移動は、通常、定位置で回転する回転ブラシに対して車輪を回転させることによって行われる。この車輪の回転を回転ブラシと別個に設けた駆動装置で行う構造もあるが、車輪側を自由回転状態にしておいて、回転ブラシの摺擦力によって車輪を回転させる構造も提案されている。この構造のタイヤ洗浄装置は、回転ブラシでタイヤを車輪の周方向に摺擦することによりタイヤを洗浄すると共に、その摺擦力で車輪を回転させる。このような構造によれば、車輪を回転させる装置が不要になり、装置構造を単純化できる。   Further, in order to clean the entire circumference of the wheel, the rotating brush must be relatively moved along the outer circumference of the wheel. This relative movement is usually performed by rotating a wheel with respect to a rotating brush rotating at a fixed position. There is a structure in which the wheel is rotated by a driving device provided separately from the rotating brush, but a structure in which the wheel is rotated by the rubbing force of the rotating brush while the wheel side is in a freely rotating state has been proposed. The tire cleaning device having this structure cleans the tire by rubbing the tire in the circumferential direction of the wheel with a rotating brush and rotates the wheel with the rubbing force. According to such a structure, a device for rotating the wheel becomes unnecessary, and the device structure can be simplified.

回転ブラシの摺擦力によって自由回転状態で支持された車輪を回転させて車輪の全周を当該ブラシで摺擦するようにし、かつ回転ブラシにタイヤの接地面を摺擦する毛とタイヤ側面を摺擦する毛とを設けた構造は、非常に合理的な構造のように考えられるが、実際には次のような問題がある。   The wheel supported in a freely rotating state by the rubbing force of the rotating brush is rotated so that the entire circumference of the wheel is rubbed with the brush, and the hair and the side surface of the tire that rub the ground contact surface of the tire on the rotating brush are attached. Although the structure provided with the rubbing hair is considered to be a very rational structure, there are actually the following problems.

通常、回転ブラシの径は、洗浄される車輪の径に比べて小さい。回転ブラシの径は、その駆動軸回りに同一の回転速度(回転数)で回転するから、ブラシの外径側のタイヤ側面を摺擦する毛が内径側のタイヤ接地面を摺擦する毛より接線方向の速度(以下、「接線速度」と言う。)が速くなる。接線速度は回転ブラシの半径に比例するから、その接線速度は図8の符号aに示すようになる。   Usually, the diameter of the rotating brush is smaller than the diameter of the wheel to be cleaned. Since the diameter of the rotating brush rotates around the drive shaft at the same rotational speed (number of rotations), the hair that rubs the tire side surface on the outer diameter side of the brush is more than the hair that rubs the tire contact surface on the inner diameter side. The speed in the tangential direction (hereinafter referred to as “tangential speed”) increases. Since the tangential speed is proportional to the radius of the rotating brush, the tangential speed is as shown by symbol a in FIG.

一方、この回転ブラシの摺擦力によって回転する車輪の周速は、回転ブラシの接線速度より必ず遅い。この車輪の周速も車輪の半径に比例するから、回転ブラシで摺擦される部分の車輪の周速(車輪の周速)は、図8の符号bのようになる。そして、ブラシの接線速度aと車輪の周速bとの差がブラシの摺擦速度cとなる。この関係から明らかなように、回転ブラシがタイヤを摺擦する速度cは、タイヤの小径側(リムに近い側)ほど大きくなる。   On the other hand, the peripheral speed of the wheel rotated by the rubbing force of the rotating brush is always slower than the tangential speed of the rotating brush. Since the peripheral speed of the wheel is also proportional to the radius of the wheel, the peripheral speed of the wheel (the peripheral speed of the wheel) that is rubbed with the rotating brush is as indicated by symbol b in FIG. The difference between the brush tangential speed a and the wheel peripheral speed b is the brush rubbing speed c. As is apparent from this relationship, the speed c at which the rotating brush rubs the tire increases as the tire has a smaller diameter side (closer to the rim).

一方、タイヤは、接地面が最も汚れ、タイヤ側面のリムに近い側ほど汚れが少ない。また、タイヤは耐久性や耐パンク性を向上させるために、接地面側の肉厚が厚くなっている。これに対してタイヤ側面は、クッション性の向上と軽量化を図るために、肉厚を薄くしており、更にリムの近くでは、比較的柔らかい内側の層がむき出しになっているものもある。すなわち、タイヤの汚れの部位やブラシの摩耗、及びブラシで摺擦されることによるタイヤ表面の損傷を考慮すれば、タイヤ側面の、特にリムに近い部分におけるブラシの摺擦速度を小さくするのが望ましい。しかし、従来構造では、図8に示すように、摺擦速度cの分布が全く逆になっており、非合理であることが判る。   On the other hand, in the tire, the ground contact surface is the most dirty, and the side closer to the rim on the tire side surface is less dirty. In addition, the tire has a large thickness on the contact surface side in order to improve durability and puncture resistance. On the other hand, the tire side face is made thinner in order to improve cushioning and light weight, and a relatively soft inner layer is exposed near the rim. In other words, considering the dirt on the tire, the wear of the brush, and the damage of the tire surface due to rubbing with the brush, it is possible to reduce the rubbing speed of the brush on the tire side surface, particularly in the portion near the rim. desirable. However, in the conventional structure, as shown in FIG. 8, the distribution of the rubbing speed c is completely reversed, which shows that it is irrational.

車椅子のタイヤ洗浄装置は、多くの車椅子を所持している車椅子のレンタル元や介護施設などに設置されることが多い。そのような場所に設置されたタイヤ洗浄装置は、多数の車椅子の洗浄に使用されるため、ブラシの磨耗や毛の変形のために洗浄能力が低下するので、頻繁にブラシを交換しなければならず、このメンテナンスのための手間や費用が大きくなる。   Wheelchair tire cleaning devices are often installed at wheelchair rental sources or nursing homes that have many wheelchairs. Tire cleaning devices installed in such places are used to clean a large number of wheelchairs, so the cleaning ability is reduced due to brush wear and hair deformation, so the brush must be replaced frequently. Therefore, the labor and cost for this maintenance increase.

また多数の車椅子の洗浄を行うときは、洗浄に要する時間が短いことが要求される。従来の車椅子は、タイヤのトレッドパターンに入り込んだ汚れが落ちにくく、洗浄に時間がかかる問題があった。また車椅子は主車輪の他に前輪となるキャスタ車輪を備えているが、このキャスタ車輪の洗浄を主車輪と同時に行うことができないと、キャスタ車輪の洗浄に手間を要し、作業負担と作業時間が多くなる問題がある。   Moreover, when washing many wheelchairs, it is required that the time required for washing is short. Conventional wheelchairs have a problem that dirt entering the tread pattern of the tire is difficult to remove and takes time to clean. In addition to the main wheels, wheelchairs have caster wheels as front wheels. If the caster wheels cannot be cleaned at the same time as the main wheels, it takes time and effort to clean the caster wheels. There are many problems.

この発明は、従来装置の上記のような問題に鑑み、タイヤの接地面と側面とを同時に洗浄する回転ブラシであって、当該ブラシの摺擦力により洗浄しようとする車輪を回転させるものにおいて、汚れが大きくかつ表面が強靱なタイヤの接地面側ほど強く摺擦される回転ブラシを得ることにより、タイヤの接地部と側部とを効率よくかつタイヤに無用な損傷を与えることなく洗浄することが可能な車椅子のタイヤ洗浄装置を得ることを課題としている。   In view of the above problems of the conventional device, this invention is a rotating brush for simultaneously cleaning the ground contact surface and the side surface of a tire, in which a wheel to be cleaned is rotated by the rubbing force of the brush. By obtaining a rotating brush that is rubbed harder toward the ground contact surface side of a tire that has a large amount of dirt and a tough surface, the ground contact portion and the side portion of the tire can be cleaned efficiently and without causing unnecessary damage to the tire. It is an object to obtain a wheelchair tire cleaning device that can be used.

更に、この発明は、キャスタ車輪と主車輪とを同時に洗浄することができ、トレッドパターンに入り込んだ汚れの除去能力に優れ、タイヤの接地部と側部とを同時に強力に洗浄することが可能な車椅子のタイヤ洗浄装置を得ることを課題としている。   Furthermore, this invention can wash | clean a caster wheel and a main wheel simultaneously, is excellent in the removal capability of the dirt which entered the tread pattern, and can wash | clean strongly the grounding part and side part of a tire simultaneously. An object is to obtain a wheelchair tire cleaning device.

この発明の車椅子のタイヤ洗浄装置は、基台1と、この基台上に搬入した車椅子の左右の車輪61、62をそれぞれ支持して当該車輪に回転力を伝達する左右の回転体23、56と、当該回転体を回転駆動する電動機16(16b、16f)とを備えている。回転体23、56は、前記電動機で回転駆動される駆動軸13(13b、13f)に軸方向移動自在かつ相対回転不能に装着された摺動軸22に固定して設けられている。   The wheelchair tire cleaning device according to the present invention includes a base 1 and left and right rotating bodies 23 and 56 that respectively support the left and right wheels 61 and 62 of the wheelchair carried on the base and transmit rotational force to the wheels. And an electric motor 16 (16b, 16f) that rotationally drives the rotating body. The rotating bodies 23 and 56 are fixedly provided on a sliding shaft 22 that is mounted on the drive shaft 13 (13b, 13f) that is rotationally driven by the electric motor so as to be axially movable and relatively non-rotatable.

回転体23、56を挟んでそれぞれが摺動軸22に相対回転自在かつ軸方向移動自在に装着されて前記車輪のタイヤ61の両側面を洗浄する一対の側面ブラシ25を備えている。この一対の側面ブラシ25は、その対向面に摺動軸方向に伸びるブラシ毛28を備え、かつ互いに接近する方向にばね付勢されている。側面ブラシ25のブラシ毛28は、回転体23、56の摩擦駆動力によって回転する車輪61、62のタイヤ側面に押接されている。自由回転可能な側面ブラシ25は、回転ブラシ21b、21fを形成しており、タイヤ61からタイヤ毛に作用する摩擦力で、タイヤ61の周速より遅い接線速度で回転し、その速度差により、タイヤ61の側面を摺擦する。   A pair of side brushes 25 for cleaning both side surfaces of the tire 61 of the wheel are mounted on the sliding shaft 22 so as to be relatively rotatable and axially movable with the rotating bodies 23 and 56 interposed therebetween. The pair of side surface brushes 25 are provided with brush hairs 28 extending in the sliding axis direction on the opposing surfaces, and are spring-biased in a direction approaching each other. The brush bristles 28 of the side brush 25 are pressed against the tire side surfaces of the wheels 61 and 62 that are rotated by the frictional driving force of the rotating bodies 23 and 56. The freely rotatable side brush 25 forms rotating brushes 21b and 21f, and rotates at a tangential speed slower than the circumferential speed of the tire 61 by a frictional force acting from the tire 61 to the tire bristles. The side surface of the tire 61 is rubbed.

前記回転体は、洗浄しようとするタイヤの接地部を摺擦する放射状の短いブラシ毛を備えた円筒形のブラシ56とすることもできる。また、単に車輪に回転力を伝達するだけの摩擦駆動筒23とすることもできる。後者の場合は、タイヤの接地面を摺擦する固定ブラシを設ける。この固定ブラシとしては、剛毛を備えたU字形のブラシ50を設けるのが良い。U字形の固定ブラシ50は、そのU字の中心線(m)を洗浄するタイヤ61の略周方向にしてそのU字の底部50aの毛がタイヤ61の接地部に当接し、U字の両側の直線部50bの毛が前記タイヤの側面に当接するようにばね付勢して設ける。   The rotating body may be a cylindrical brush 56 having short radial bristles that rub against the ground contact portion of the tire to be cleaned. Moreover, it can also be set as the friction drive cylinder 23 which only transmits rotational force to a wheel. In the latter case, a fixed brush that slides on the ground contact surface of the tire is provided. As this fixed brush, it is preferable to provide a U-shaped brush 50 having bristles. The U-shaped fixed brush 50 has the U-shaped center line (m) in the substantially circumferential direction of the tire 61 to be washed, and the bristles of the U-shaped bottom portion 50a abut against the ground contact portion of the tire 61. The straight portion 50b is spring-biased so that the bristles are in contact with the side surface of the tire.

ここで剛毛とは、芯線52から放射方向に伸びる毛53がそのそれぞれの方向に自立しており、回転による遠心力などを付与しない状態においても、毛先がタイヤのトレッドパターンの溝内に毛自身が有する剛性によって差し込まれる程度に強い毛を意味する。   Here, the bristles refer to the hairs 53 extending radially from the core wire 52 standing in their respective directions, and even when no centrifugal force due to rotation is applied, the hair tips are in the grooves of the tread pattern of the tire. It means hair that is strong enough to be inserted by its own rigidity.

回転体23、56を駆動する電動機は、正転側と逆転側とで回転継続時間が異なる正逆回転駆動される電動機とするのが好ましい。回転体23、56で回転駆動される車輪が往復しながら間欠的に一方向に回転することにより、回転体として円筒ブラシ56を用いたときに、車輪の慣性を利用して円筒ブラシ56の摺擦速度を大きくすることができると共に、タイヤのトレッド内の汚れをより良く洗浄することができる。   The electric motor that drives the rotating bodies 23 and 56 is preferably an electric motor that is driven to rotate in the forward and reverse directions with different rotation durations on the forward rotation side and the reverse rotation side. When the cylindrical brush 56 is used as the rotating body by intermittently rotating in one direction while the wheels driven to rotate by the rotating bodies 23 and 56 reciprocate, the sliding of the cylindrical brush 56 takes advantage of the inertia of the wheels. The rubbing speed can be increased, and the dirt in the tire tread can be cleaned better.

前述した固定ブラシ50に代えて、又は固定ブラシ50と併用する自由回転ブラシ55を設けることもできる。この自由回転ブラシは、幅方向の中央部が両端部より小径のブラシとするのが好ましい。   Instead of the fixed brush 50 described above, a free rotating brush 55 used in combination with the fixed brush 50 may be provided. This free rotating brush is preferably a brush whose central portion in the width direction has a smaller diameter than both ends.

この発明のタイヤ洗浄装置では、タイヤの接地面を支持している回転体23、56の回転によって洗浄される車輪61が回転する。回転体として円筒状のブラシを用いて、当該円筒ブラシでタイヤの接地面を洗浄しようとするときは、円筒ブラシの接線速度とタイヤの接地面の周速との間に速度差、すなわち滑りを生じさせる必要がある。この速度差は、車輪の回転慣性を利用すること、すなわち回転ブラシの回転速度を周期的に変化させることによって発生させることができる。   In the tire cleaning device of the present invention, the wheel 61 to be cleaned rotates by the rotation of the rotating bodies 23 and 56 that support the ground contact surface of the tire. When using a cylindrical brush as a rotating body to clean the tire ground contact surface with the cylindrical brush, there is a speed difference between the tangential speed of the cylindrical brush and the peripheral speed of the tire contact surface, that is, slip. It needs to be generated. This speed difference can be generated by utilizing the rotational inertia of the wheel, that is, by periodically changing the rotational speed of the rotating brush.

特に、円筒ブラシを正逆転させ、正転時と逆転時の時間間隔を異ならせることにより、車輪の回転慣性を利用した円筒ブラシによるタイヤ接地面の摺擦を確実に行うことができると共に、時間間隔を長くした回転の方向に車輪が間欠的に回転駆動されて、接地面の全周を効率よく摺擦することができる。   In particular, by rotating the cylindrical brush forward and backward and making the time interval between forward rotation and reverse rotation different, the tire ground contact surface can be reliably rubbed with the cylindrical brush using the rotational inertia of the wheel, and the time The wheels are intermittently driven in the direction of rotation with a longer interval, and the entire circumference of the ground plane can be rubbed efficiently.

これに対して回転体を摩擦駆動筒とする構造では、タイヤ接地面の洗浄は、固定ブラシ又は自由回転ブラシ側で行われるので、摩擦駆動筒23とタイヤとの間にできるだけ滑りが生じないようにするのが望ましい。これは、摩擦駆動筒23の周面を粗面にする、滑りを抑制する溝23aを設ける、摩擦駆動筒の周面にゴムなどの高摩擦体をコーティングする、などの構造で実現できる。この構造においても、摩擦駆動筒23を正逆転させる構造は、固定ブラシ50や自由回転ブラシ55側での洗浄力を向上させる上で有益である。   On the other hand, in the structure in which the rotating body is a friction drive cylinder, the tire ground contact surface is cleaned on the fixed brush or the free rotation brush side, so that as little slippage as possible occurs between the friction drive cylinder 23 and the tire. It is desirable to make it. This can be realized by a structure in which the peripheral surface of the friction drive cylinder 23 is roughened, a groove 23a for suppressing slippage is provided, or a high friction body such as rubber is coated on the peripheral surface of the friction drive cylinder. Also in this structure, the structure in which the friction drive cylinder 23 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions is useful for improving the cleaning power on the fixed brush 50 and the free rotating brush 55 side.

この発明のタイヤ洗浄装置における側面ブラシ25は、タイヤの回転に引きずられて回転することによってタイヤの側面を洗浄する。側面ブラシ25の接線速度は、車輪の周速より遅い。ブラシの接線速度も車輪の周速もそれらの回転中心軸からの距離に比例することから、この発明のタイヤ洗浄装置では、タイヤ側面の周速が図9の符号b、側面ブラシの周速が同図の符号aのようになり、車輪の周速と側面ブラシの接線速度との差である摺擦速度cは、タイヤの接地面側で大きく、リムに近い側では小さくなる。この摺擦速度cの分布は、タイヤ側面の汚れが接地面側ほど大きくなること、タイヤが接地面に近い側ほど頑丈に作られていることなどの条件に合致するものである。   The side brush 25 in the tire cleaning device of the present invention cleans the side surface of the tire by rotating while being dragged by the rotation of the tire. The tangential speed of the side brush 25 is slower than the peripheral speed of the wheel. Since the tangential speed of the brush and the peripheral speed of the wheel are proportional to the distance from the center axis of rotation, in the tire cleaning device of the present invention, the peripheral speed of the tire side is b in FIG. The rubbing speed c, which is the difference between the peripheral speed of the wheel and the tangential speed of the side brush, is large on the tire contact surface side and small on the side close to the rim. This distribution of the rubbing speed c meets the conditions such that the dirt on the tire side surface increases toward the contact surface side, and that the tire is made more rugged toward the contact surface side.

なお、回転体を正逆転して洗浄を行う場合、車輪の正逆転に追従して側面ブラシ25も正逆転するが、車輪61に比べて側面ブラシ25は小径で回転慣性が小さいため、回転速度が変化する際のタイヤと側面ブラシとの間の滑りの発生は、回転体として円筒ブラシを用いたときの円筒ブラシとタイヤとの間に生ずる滑りに比較して遥かに小さい。   When cleaning is performed by rotating the rotating body forward and backward, the side brush 25 also rotates forward and backward following the forward and backward rotation of the wheel. However, since the side brush 25 has a smaller diameter and a smaller rotational inertia than the wheel 61, the rotational speed is reduced. The occurrence of slip between the tire and the side brush when the angle changes is much smaller than the slip that occurs between the cylindrical brush and the tire when a cylindrical brush is used as the rotating body.

この発明によれば、回転ブラシでタイヤの側面を摺擦して洗浄しつつ、当該ブラシの摺擦力で車輪を回転させて車輪の全周を洗浄するタイヤ洗浄装置において、最も汚れが大きくかつ表面が頑丈に作られているタイヤ接地面側を強力に洗浄し、汚れが少なくて表面が薄くかつ柔らかいタイヤのリムに近い側の側面を損傷することなく適切に洗浄することが可能なタイヤ洗浄装置を得ることができる。   According to the present invention, in the tire cleaning device for cleaning the entire circumference of the wheel by rotating the wheel with the frictional force of the brush while cleaning the side surface of the tire with the rotating brush, Tire cleaning that can clean the tire contact surface side, which has a sturdy surface, and can clean properly without damaging the side surface close to the tire rim with less dirt, thin surface and soft surface A device can be obtained.

また、剛毛を備えたU字形の固定ブラシを用いることにより、タイヤのトレッドパターンに入り込んだ汚れも短時間で洗浄でき、またこのU字ブラシは交換が容易であり、キャスタ車輪の洗浄を主車輪と同時に行うことができる。また、タイヤ側面を洗浄する回転ブラシとタイヤ接地及び側面を同時に洗浄するU字ブラシを設けることにより、短時間で効率よく、車椅子のタイヤを洗浄することができる。   In addition, by using a U-shaped fixed brush with bristles, dirt that has entered the tread pattern of the tire can be cleaned in a short time, and this U-shaped brush can be easily replaced, so that the caster wheels can be cleaned. Can be done at the same time. Moreover, by providing the rotating brush for cleaning the tire side surface and the U-shaped brush for simultaneously cleaning the tire ground contact and the side surface, the wheelchair tire can be efficiently cleaned in a short time.

左右の主開口11bの直下の位置には、角棒からなる主駆動軸13bが設けられている。主駆動軸13bは、同期ベルト18で主電動機16bに回転連結されている。主電動機16bは、操作盤31に設定された正転時と逆転時とで異なる時間間隔で正逆転駆動される。   A main drive shaft 13b made of a square bar is provided at a position directly below the left and right main openings 11b. The main drive shaft 13b is rotationally connected to the main motor 16b by a synchronous belt 18. The main motor 16b is driven forward and backward at different time intervals between the forward rotation and the reverse rotation set on the operation panel 31.

The friction drive cylinder 23 is fixed. The friction drive cylinder 23 includes a plurality of axial non-slip grooves 23a on the peripheral surface. On both sides of the friction drive cylinder 23, a sleeve 24 is inserted so as to be movable in the axial direction, and a spring receiver 29 is fixed to the slide shaft 22 on the outer side. A compression coil spring 26 is interposed between the sleeve 24 and the spring receiver 29. A side brush 25 is supported on the sleeve 24 so as to be freely rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. The side brush 25 is a brush in which bristles 28 in a direction parallel to the sliding shaft 22 are planted on the side surface of the disc 27 and planted on the opposing surfaces of the two discs 27 arranged with the friction drive cylinder 23 interposed therebetween. The bristles 28 face each other so as to sandwich the tire of the wheelchair to be cleaned, and the bristles are pressed against both side surfaces of the tire by the urging force of the compression coil spring 26.

The sliding shaft 22 is mounted on a front drive shaft 13f made of a square bar that is pivotally supported by the moving base 32 so as to be movable in the axial direction and not to be relatively rotatable. The front drive shaft 13f is a front motor 16f mounted on the moving table 32 via the synchronous belt 18. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the main motor 16b rotates forward and backward during cleaning, whereas the front motor 16f is unidirectional. However, it may be rotated forward and backward in the same manner as the main motor 16b.

移動台32には、前駆動軸13fの前方に、幅方向のガイド37が移動台32に固定して設けられ、このガイド37に沿って移動自在に左右のスライダ39が設けられている。スライダ39には、ブラケットを介して押圧ローラ38が自由回転可能に軸支されている。更にブラケットには、押圧ローラ38の軸心回りに揺動可能に、主固定ブラシのU字ブラシ50と同様な構造の前U字ブラシ50が装着されている。押圧ローラ38は、周面にV溝を備えたローラで、このV溝とU字ブラシ50とでキャスタ車輪の外周を案内することにより、洗浄中のキャスタ車輪の首振りを防止している。そしてこの押圧ローラ38とU字ブラシ50とにより、キャスタ車輪62の接地面の洗浄が行われる。   A guide 37 in the width direction is fixed to the moving table 32 in front of the front drive shaft 13 f on the moving table 32, and left and right sliders 39 are provided so as to be movable along the guide 37. A pressing roller 38 is supported on the slider 39 via a bracket so as to be freely rotatable. Further, the front U-shaped brush 50 having the same structure as the U-shaped brush 50 of the main fixed brush is attached to the bracket so as to be swingable about the axis of the pressing roller 38. The pressing roller 38 is a roller having a V groove on the peripheral surface, and the caster wheel is prevented from swinging during cleaning by guiding the outer periphery of the caster wheel with the V groove and the U-shaped brush 50. The pressing roller 38 and the U-shaped brush 50 clean the ground contact surface of the caster wheel 62.

図1に示すように、主回転ブラシ21bは、洗浄される車椅子の主車輪61の反キャスタ車輪側下方で主車輪61を支持し、前回転ブラシ21fは、キャスタ車輪62の下方でキャスタ車輪62を支持している。押圧ローラ38は、キャスタ車輪62の反主車輪側でキャスタ車輪62を主車輪61側に押圧しており、この押圧力と車椅子の自重により、主車輪61のタイヤを主回転ブラシ21b及び固定ブラシ50に押付けている。押圧ローラ38を軸支する支持軸には、押圧ローラ38を挟む両側に巻ばねが巻回され、この巻ばねで付勢されたU字形のワイヤ83が前U字ブラシ50の背面に添設されて前U字ブラシ50をキャスタ車輪62側に押し付けている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the main rotating brush 21 b supports the main wheel 61 below the caster wheel side of the main wheel 61 of the wheelchair to be cleaned, and the front rotating brush 21 f is below the caster wheel 62. Support. The pressing roller 38 presses the caster wheel 62 to the main wheel 61 side on the opposite main wheel side of the caster wheel 62, and by this pressing force and the weight of the wheelchair, the tire of the main wheel 61 is moved to the main rotating brush 21b and the fixed brush. 50. A winding spring is wound on both sides sandwiching the pressing roller 38 around the support shaft that supports the pressing roller 38, and a U-shaped wire 83 biased by the winding spring is attached to the back surface of the front U-shaped brush 50. Thus, the front U-shaped brush 50 is pressed against the caster wheel 62 side.

次に、上記実施例装置における車椅子のタイヤ洗浄動作を説明する。まず、洗浄しようとする車椅子60のホイルベースに合せて移動台32の前後位置を調整し、主車輪61がU字形の固定ブラシ50と主回転ブラシ21bに当接し、キャスタ車輪62が前回転ブラシ21fと押圧ローラ38とに当接するようにする。このとき、前U字ブラシ50は、巻ばねの付勢力でキャスタ車輪62の反主車輪側に押接される。回転ブラシ21b、21f及びU字ブラシ50、50の幅方向位置は、搬入された車椅子のトレッド幅に応じて自動位置決めされる。この状態で主電動機16b及び前電動機16fを駆動して、回転ブラシ21b、21fを回転させる。前電動機16fは、キャスタ車輪62が図1で矢印fに示す方向に回転させる。一方、主電動機16bは、主車輪61を図1で矢印b方向に回転させる正転と、この正転より短い距離で同矢印c方向に回転させる逆転とを交互に繰り返すように設定して、主車輪61が往復動しながら図1の矢印b方向に回転して行くようにする。主車輪61が1回転する間に10〜50回の往復動をするように設定するのが好ましい。この間、必要に応じて洗浄液パイプ48に洗浄液を供給して、洗浄液の存在下で主車輪61を洗浄する。この状態で操作盤31に設定された時間、前電動機16f及び主電動機16bを回転して車椅子の主車輪61及びキャスタ車輪62のタイヤを同時に洗浄する。洗浄が終わったら、車椅子60を基台1上から搬出する。   Next, the wheel cleaning operation of the wheelchair in the embodiment apparatus will be described. First, the front / rear position of the moving table 32 is adjusted according to the wheel base of the wheelchair 60 to be cleaned, the main wheel 61 comes into contact with the U-shaped fixed brush 50 and the main rotating brush 21b, and the caster wheel 62 is moved to the front rotating brush 21f. And the pressing roller 38. At this time, the front U-shaped brush 50 is pressed against the opposite main wheel side of the caster wheel 62 by the urging force of the winding spring. The width direction positions of the rotating brushes 21b and 21f and the U-shaped brushes 50 and 50 are automatically positioned according to the tread width of the wheelchair that has been carried in. In this state, the main motor 16b and the front motor 16f are driven to rotate the rotating brushes 21b and 21f. The front motor 16f rotates the caster wheel 62 in the direction indicated by the arrow f in FIG. On the other hand, the main motor 16b is set so as to alternately repeat forward rotation in which the main wheel 61 is rotated in the direction of the arrow b in FIG. 1 and reverse rotation in which the main wheel 61 is rotated in the direction of the arrow c at a shorter distance than the normal rotation. The main wheel 61 is rotated in the direction of arrow b in FIG. 1 while reciprocating. It is preferable to set the main wheel 61 to reciprocate 10 to 50 times during one rotation. During this time, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the cleaning liquid pipe 48 as necessary, and the main wheel 61 is cleaned in the presence of the cleaning liquid. In this state, the front motor 16f and the main motor 16b are rotated for the time set on the operation panel 31, and the tires of the main wheel 61 and the caster wheel 62 of the wheelchair are simultaneously cleaned. When the washing is finished, the wheelchair 60 is carried out from the base 1.

毛先の摩耗などによりU字ブラシ50、50の洗浄能力が低下したら、固定ブラシ50、50を表裏逆にして取付ける。裏面側も摩耗したときは、U字ブラシ50、50を交換する。U字ブラシ50、50は、その芯線の両端を支持駒54にねじなどで止着されているので、容易に取り外すことができ、新たなU字ブラシの装着も容易にできる。U字ブラシ50、50としては、市販の亀の子たわし(登録商標)の芯線両端の結合を外して用いることが可能で、剛毛を備え、従って摩耗の激しい固定ブラシが手に入らないために洗浄作業に支障が生ずる虞がない。   When the cleaning ability of the U-shaped brushes 50, 50 is reduced due to abrasion of the hair ends, the fixed brushes 50, 50 are mounted upside down. When the back side is also worn, the U-shaped brushes 50 and 50 are replaced. Since the U-shaped brushes 50 and 50 have both ends of their core wires fixed to the support piece 54 with screws or the like, they can be easily removed, and a new U-shaped brush can be easily mounted. The U-shaped brushes 50 and 50 can be used by removing the ends of the core wire of a commercially available turtle scourer (registered trademark), and are provided with bristles so that a fixed brush with high wear cannot be obtained. There is no risk of trouble in the cleaning operation.
