Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a processing system. [Background technology]

[0002] A cleaning machine has been proposed that has a cleaning chamber, a nozzle, a table on which the workpiece is placed, a table rotation axis arranged on the table at an inclination angle relative to an imaginary axis perpendicular to the table, and a support that supports the table rotation axis (Patent Publication No. 4203298, hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 1"). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] When the cleaning machines of Patent Document 1 are arranged in a row, it may be difficult to perform maintenance on the drive units and pumps. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a processing system that is easy to maintain when arranged in rows. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] A first aspect of the present invention is A plurality of processing units, each processing unit comprising: A processing chamber disposed at the front, having a loading door installed at the front through which workpieces are loaded and unloaded and an inspection door installed at the rear, a control panel that is disposed at a rear side of the processing chamber and spaced apart from the processing chamber, and has substantially the same width as the processing chamber; a step disposed between the processing chamber and the control panel and having substantially the same width as the processing chamber; a plurality of processing units each having a When the processing chambers are arranged side by side with their front faces aligned, the steps are connected to form a passage. It is a processing system.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention is A plurality of processing units, each processing unit comprising: a processing chamber disposed at the front, having a loading door through which workpieces are loaded and unloaded; a control panel that is disposed at a rear side of the processing chamber and spaced apart from the processing chamber, and has substantially the same width as the processing chamber; a machine room having an inspection door installed on the front, being in contact with the control panel and disposed in front of the control panel, and having substantially the same width as the processing chamber; a step disposed between the processing chamber and the machine chamber and having substantially the same width as the processing chamber; a plurality of processing units each having a When the processing chambers are arranged side by side with their front faces aligned, the steps are connected to form a passage. It is a processing system.

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention is A plurality of processing units, each processing unit comprising: A processing chamber disposed at the front, having a loading door installed at the front through which workpieces are loaded and unloaded and an inspection door installed at the rear, a control panel disposed at a rear side of the processing chamber and spaced apart from the processing chamber; a step disposed between the processing chamber and the control panel; a plurality of processing units having the steps of the processing units have the same height; When the processing chambers of the plurality of processing units are arranged side by side with the front faces of the processing chambers aligned, the steps are connected to each other to form a passage. It is a processing system.

[0007] The processing unit is, for example, a jet cleaner, a blower, a vacuum dryer, or a deburring machine. Deburring machines include devices that deburr by bringing a rotary tool or a brush into contact with the workpiece, and devices that spray a liquid jet onto the workpiece and deburr by the dynamic pressure of the liquid jet.

[0008] In the processing chamber, for example, a cleaning liquid spray nozzle, a blow nozzle, a reduced pressure drying container, and a deburring tool are arranged. The cleaning liquid spray nozzle, the blow nozzle, the reduced pressure drying container, and the deburring tool can move relative to the workpiece. For example, the cleaning liquid spray nozzle, the blow nozzle, the reduced pressure drying container, and the deburring tool are numerically controlled. The workpiece is carried into the processing chamber. Inside the processing chamber, the workpiece is cleaned, blown, dried, and deburred.

[0009] A robot, a rotation device, and a swivel device may be disposed in the processing chamber. The robot, the rotation device, and the swivel device move the cleaning liquid spray nozzle, the blow nozzle, and the deburring tool relative to the table. The robot, the rotation device, and the swivel device are driven by motors. The robot, the rotation device, and the swivel device are, for example, numerically controlled. The robot may be, for example, a vertical articulated robot, a horizontal articulated robot, or a parallel link robot. The rotation device may be, for example, a cleaning table on which a workpiece is placed, or a table rotation device that rotates a swivel table. The swivel device may be, for example, a table swivel device that swivels a table around a swivel axis perpendicular to the rotation axis. Preferably, when the processing units are arranged side by side with their front faces facing each other, the back faces of the processing units are aligned with each other. In this case, the back faces of the processing chambers are substantially flush with each other. The back faces may have irregularities.

[0010] Preferably, the processing chamber has a base surface connected to the front surface, a front surface connected to the base surface and rising behind the base surface, and a front opening disposed below the front surface, and a loading port disposed behind the base surface and having a semicircular top opening connected to the front opening. The loading door is a cylindrical sliding door having a cylindrical surface and an upper surface connected to the cylindrical surface. When the loading door is opened, the loading door passes through the loading opening and is stored in the processing chamber. When the loading door is opened, the loading opening is exposed upward and toward the front.

[0011] Preferably, the loading door is a double door. For example, the left loading door has a cylindrical surface with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees and an upper surface that is a sector-shaped plate with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees. The left loading door rotates along the cylindrical surface and is housed on the left half of the processing chamber. The right loading door is plane-symmetrical to the left loading door. The right loading door rotates along the cylindrical surface and is housed on the right half of the processing chamber.

[0012] The processing unit includes, for example, a cleaning pump, an air filter unit, a cleaning liquid filtration device, a vacuum pump, and an air source. The air source is, for example, a blower, an air compressor, an air filtration device, and an air dryer. The cleaning pump, air filter unit, cleaning liquid filtration device, vacuum pump, blower, and air source are arranged inside the machine room. A tank may be installed below the step. The tank stores cleaning fluid or coolant. The step may be integrated with the tank. For example, the top of the tank may be open, and the lid installed on the top of the tank may serve as the step.

[0013] Preferably, the control panel is arranged on the rear side of the machine room. The control panel may have a door on the rear side. Preferably, when a plurality of processing units are arranged in a row, the rear sides of the control panels are aligned in a row. In other words, the rear sides of the control panels are arranged on the same plane. Preferably, the control panel and the processing chamber are integrally formed. For example, a frame or a tank is installed below the step. The control panel or the machine room and the processing chamber are integrally connected by the frame or the tank.

[0014] The cable rack may be placed below the step. Power cables that supply power from the control panel to the robot, table rotation device, and nozzle rotation device in the processing chamber, as well as control cables for sensors installed in the processing chamber, are stored in the cable rack. Cleaning pipes, air pipes, and decompression pipes may also be stored in the cable rack.

[0015] Preferably, the processing chamber, the step, and the control panel have the same width. Preferably, the machine chamber has the same width as the processing chamber. Preferably, the left and right side surfaces of the processing unit are flush with each other. Substantially the same width means that even if there are some irregularities or differences in the width, when they are densely arranged horizontally, the width is the same to the extent that a unit can be pulled out in the front-to-back direction and another unit can be inserted in place of the pulled-out unit. Preferably, each processing unit has the same width.

[0016] When multiple processing units are arranged in a horizontal row, the steps of each processing unit are connected. Multiple processing units may also be arranged closely together. When multiple processing units are arranged closely together, the steps are continuous. The connected steps function as a walkway. As each step is continuous and at the same height, there are no steps, making it easy for workers to walk on the steps. The processing units perform relatively simple processes. By freely combining processing units, a processing system can be created that can meet a variety of requirements. Each processing unit has a different function. For example, a jet washer does not need to have sufficient deburring or drying capabilities. A vacuum dryer or deburring machine does not need to have cleaning capabilities. A processing system can have multiple functions, such as deburring, cleaning, and drying, depending on the combination of processing units. The functions, number, and arrangement order of the processing units incorporated into the processing system are planned according to the required functions. If the plan changes, it can be addressed by replacing the processing units included in the processing system. For example, to improve cleaning capabilities, multiple cleaning units can be added. To add deburring capabilities, a deburring machine is added.

[0017] The connection frame is, for example, the frame of an automatic conveyor. The reference plane is set at a predetermined position from the table or the table rotation axis. When each processing unit is connected to the connection frame, the processing units are accurately aligned. Because the processing units are accurately aligned, they can be easily connected to the automatic conveyor.

[0018] Adjacent processing units may be spaced apart, and preferably, a step is provided between each processing unit. Adjacent processing units may be arranged at substantially the same intervals, where the substantially same intervals mean a width that prevents an operator from passing between adjacent processing units. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] The processing system of the present invention is easy to maintain when arranged in a row, and the installation area can be reduced. The processing units can be flexibly replaced. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a part of a deburring machine according to an embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, a processing system 10 according to an embodiment includes a plurality of processing units 10a to 10d. The processing units 10a to 10d are arranged in a horizontal row with their sides closely spaced from one another. The processing units 10a to 10d according to this embodiment include, for example, a jet washer 10a, a blower 10b, a vacuum dryer 10c, and a deburring machine 10d. The jet washer 10a, the blower 10b, the vacuum dryer 10c, and the deburring machine 10d have substantially the same overall configuration. Each of the processing units 10a to 10d includes a processing chamber 13, a step 31, a power cable 34, and a control panel 43. The processing units 10a to 10d may also include a connection section 27, a machine room 41, and a cable rack 33.

[0022] In each of the processing units 10a to 10d, the processing chamber 13 and the control panel 43 have substantially the same width. In each of the processing units 10a to 10d, the processing chamber 13 and the step 31 have substantially the same width. In each of the processing units 10a to 10d, the processing chamber 13 and the machine chamber 41 have substantially the same width. Adjacent processing units 10a to 10d may be installed with substantially the same intervals between them. Here, the substantially same intervals mean a width that prevents workers from passing between adjacent processing units 10a to 10d. This prevents workers from entering from behind the processing units 10a to 10d. The steps 31 of each of the processing units 10a to 10d have the same height. The steps 31 of each of the processing units 10a to 10d have the same length in the front-to-rear direction. The processing chambers 13 of each of the processing units 10a to 10d have the same length in the front-to-rear direction.

[0023] The jet washer 10a will now be described. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the jet washer 10a includes a cleaning chamber 13a, a machine chamber 41a, a tank 35, cleaning piping 32, a table 23, a nozzle 25, and a pump 49. The jet washer 10a may also include a filter 48. The cleaning chamber 13a, machine chamber 41a, tank 35, and left and right side surfaces of the control panel 43 of the jet washer 10a are located on the same plane. When viewed from above, the jet washer 10a has a rectangular shape.

[0024] 2 and 3 show the state in which the carry-in door 17, the inspection door 21, and the inspection door 47 are open. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cleaning chamber 13a has a back surface 131, a first front surface 132, a base surface 133, a second front surface 134, a carry-in entrance 15, and the carry-in door 17. The cleaning chamber 13a may also have a rear opening 19, an inspection door 21, a table rotation motor 22, a nozzle rotation motor 24, and a connection portion 27. The cleaning chamber 13a is L-shaped in side view. The first front surface 132 is the surface that protrudes most toward the front at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 13a. The base surface 133 is connected to the upper end of the first front surface 132 and extends horizontally rearward from the first front surface 132. The second front surface 134 is connected to the rear end of the base surface 133 and extends above the base surface 133. The rear surface 131 extends from the upper end to the lower end of the cleaning chamber 13a.

[0025] The loading entrance 15 has a front opening 15a and an upper opening 15b. The front opening 15a is rectangular. The front opening 15a occupies almost the entire surface of the second front face 134. The front opening 15a is located in the center of the width of the second front face 134, towards the bottom. The upper opening 15b is semicircular and connected to the front opening 15a. The upper opening 15b is located towards the rear of the base surface 133.

[0026] The loading door 17 is, for example, a sliding door. The loading door 17 is arranged in the loading entrance 15. The loading door 17 has a left loading door 171 and a right loading door 172. The left loading door 171 has a shape like a drum cut at a central angle of 90 degrees. The left loading door 171 has a cylindrical surface 171a and a top surface 171b. The cylindrical surface 171a is in the shape of a quarter cylinder. The top surface 171b is a quarter disk and is connected to the cylindrical surface 171a. The right loading door 172 is plane-symmetrical to the left loading door 171. The right loading door 172 has a cylindrical surface 172a and a top surface 172b.

[0027] Left loading door 171 and right loading door 172 are disposed inside loading entrance 15. When closed, left loading door 171 and right loading door 172 form a semi-cylindrical shape, blocking top opening 15b and front opening 15a of loading entrance 15. Left loading door 171 pivots approximately 90 degrees to the left along cylindrical surface 171a when viewed from front face 132. Right loading door 172 pivots approximately 90 degrees to the right along cylindrical surface 172a when viewed from front face 132. When the entrance door 17 is opened, the entrance 15 is almost completely opened. At this time, the left entrance door 171 is stored in the left half of the cleaning chamber 13a, and the right entrance door 172 is stored in the right half of the cleaning chamber 13a.

[0028] The connection portion 27 has a reference surface 271 and a connection frame 272. The connection frame 272 is a frame that serves as a reference, and is, for example, the frame of the automatic transporter 5. The reference surface 271 is installed, for example, on the front surface 132. The reference surface 271 is installed at a predetermined position from the table 23. The connection frame 272 and each reference surface 271 are positioned, for example, by pins. The connection frame 272 is connected to the reference surface 271 of each of the processing units 10a to 10d. This allows each of the processing units 10a to 10d to be arranged in an accurate position.

[0029] The connection portion 27 may include a reference surface (reference portion) 271 and a coupling portion (not shown). In this case, the reference surface 271 is disposed, for example, on only one side (for example, the left side) of the front surface 132. The coupling portion is disposed, for example, on the right side of the front surface 132. The coupling portion protrudes from the right side surface. The coupling portion is coupled to the reference surface 271 of each of the processing units 10a to 10d. The reference surface 271 and the coupling portion are positioned, for example, by a pin. This allows each of the processing units 10a to 10d to be arranged in an accurate position. Furthermore, the reference surface 271 may be disposed on either the left or right side surface. The connecting portion (not shown) is disposed on the opposite side of the reference surface 271. The connecting portion is coupled to the reference surfaces 271 of the adjacent processing units 10a to 10d.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, the rear surface 131 has a rear opening 19. The rear opening 19 is disposed above the step 31. The rear opening 19 is, for example, rectangular. The inspection door 21 is installed in the rear opening 19. For example, the inspection door 21 is a single-wing door. For example, the inspection door 21 opens to the left (left-hung).

[0031] Table 23 is disposed inside cleaning chamber 13a. When viewed from above, table 23 may be entirely located forward of front face 134. Alternatively, when viewed from above, only a portion of table 23 may be located forward of front face 134. This allows table 23 to be exposed from carry-in entrance 15 when viewed from above and from the front when carry-in door 17 is opened. The table 23 is, for example, a rotary table. The workpiece 3 is placed on the table 23. The table 23 is connected to a table rotation motor 22. The table 23 rotates around a table rotation shaft 231. The table rotation shaft 231 extends vertically.

[0032] The nozzle 25 is disposed inside the cleaning chamber 13a. The nozzle 25 extends, for example, in the vertical direction. The nozzle 25 sprays, for example, the cleaning liquid horizontally toward the workpiece 3. For example, the nozzle 25 has a plurality of nozzle holes 251. The nozzle 25 rotates around a nozzle rotation shaft 252 by the nozzle rotation motor 24. The nozzle rotation shaft 252 extends vertically.

[0033] The steps 31a have a height of, for example, about 200 mm to 400 mm, and the worker walks on the steps 31a. The tank 35 stores the cleaning liquid. The tank 35 is, for example, a box-shaped, open two-tank tank. The tank 35 has a lid 351. The lid 351 and the upper surface of the tank 35 form the upper surface of the step 31a.

[0034] The machine room 41a has a front opening 45 and an inspection door 47. The inspection door 47 has a single swing door 471 and a lift-up door 472. 1 and 2, the front opening 45 extends vertically from above the step 31 on the front side of the machine room 41a and reaches the front half of the top surface of the machine room 41a. Preferably, the front opening 45 extends across almost the entire width of the machine room 41a. The single-wing door 471 covers the front opening 45 from the center to the lower end. The single-wing door 471 opens to the left (hangs from the left), for example. The flip-up door 472 covers the upper part and top surface of the front opening 45.

[0035] The control panel 43 is disposed at the rear of the machine room 41a. The control panel 43 has a door 51 at the rear. The door 51 is, for example, a single-wing door or a double door. The control panel 43 houses a power supply, a numerical control device, an amplifier, a relay, etc.

[0036] The pump 49 is disposed inside the machine chamber 41a. The pump 49 is a liquid pump, such as a centrifugal pump or a piston pump. The pump 49 pressurizes the cleaning liquid stored in the tank 35 and sends it to the nozzle 25. The filter 48 is disposed inside the machine chamber 41a and filters the cleaning liquid in the tank 35.

[0037] The cable rack 33 is installed below the step 31. The cable rack 33 stores the power cable 34 and the cleaning pipe 32. The power cable 34 connects the control panel 43 to the motors 22 and 24. The power cable 34 supplies driving current to the motors 22 and 24. The cleaning pipe 32 connects the pump 49 to the nozzle 25. The cleaning pipe 32 supplies cleaning liquid from the pump 49 to the nozzle 25.

[0038] FIG. 4 shows the blowing machine 10b with the access door 17 and the inspection door 47 open. As shown in FIG. 4, the blowing machine 10b has a blowing chamber 13b, a step 31b, an air source 59, an air pipe 52, and an air nozzle 55. The blowing machine 10b may have a machine room 41b. The other configuration of the blowing machine 10b is the same as that of the jet washer 10a. The blowing chamber 13b, the machine room 41b, the step 31b, and the left and right sides of the control panel 43 of the blowing machine 10b are located on the same plane. When viewed from above, the blowing machine 10b is rectangular.

[0039] The blowing chamber 13b has the same structure as the cleaning chamber 13a. The air nozzle 55 has an outlet 551. The outlet 551 is, for example, a pipe or a slit.

[0040] Step 31b has casters 311. Step 31b has the same height as step 31a. Step 31b is separated from blow chamber 13b and machine chamber 41b. Step 31b is slidable laterally, which allows the area behind blow chamber 13b to be released.

[0041] The machine room 41b has the same structure as the machine room 41a. The air source 59 is disposed inside the machine room 41b, for example. The air source 59 is, for example, an air filter, a blower, an air compressor, or an air dryer. Power for the air source 59 is supplied from the control panel 43. The machine chamber 41b may be omitted if the air source 59 is not required. In this case, for example, compressed air is supplied directly to the blow chamber 13b.

[0042] The air pipe 52 is arranged on the cable rack 33. The air pipe 52 connects the air source 59 and the air nozzle 55. The air pipe 52 supplies dry air or compressed air to the air nozzle 55.

[0043] FIG. 5 shows the vacuum dryer 10c with the loading door 17 and the inspection door 47 open. The vacuum dryer 10c has a drying chamber 13c, a step 31c, a machine room 41c, a swivel table 63, a container lid 65, a cylinder 67, a vacuum pump 69, and vacuum piping 68. The rest of the configuration of the vacuum dryer 10c is the same as that of the jet washer 10a. The drying chamber 13c, the machine room 41c, the step 31c, and the left and right sides of the control panel 43 of the vacuum dryer 10c are located on the same plane. When viewed from above, the vacuum dryer 10c is rectangular.

[0044] The drying chamber 13c has the same structure as the cleaning chamber 13a, except that the drying chamber 13c has casters 311. The swivel table 63, the container lid 65, and the cylinder 67 are disposed inside the drying chamber 13c. The rotating table 63 is divided by 180 degrees and has a first reduced pressure vessel 631 and a second reduced pressure vessel 632. The first reduced pressure vessel 631 and the second reduced pressure vessel 632 have the same structure and are arranged rotationally symmetrically about the rotating shaft 633. The first reduced pressure vessel 631 is triangular when viewed from the side and rectangular when viewed from above. The first reduced pressure vessel 631 is a box-shaped vessel that opens obliquely upward on the side away from the rotating shaft 633. The workpiece 3 is placed inside the first reduced pressure vessel 631 and the second reduced pressure vessel 632, respectively.

[0045] The table rotation motor 22 rotates the rotating table 63 by 180 degrees at a time, and places either the first reduced pressure vessel 631 or the second reduced pressure vessel 632 at the drying position 634 . The cylinder 67 is, for example, an air cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0046] The container lid 65 is triangular when viewed from the side and rectangular when viewed from above. The container lid 65 is a box-shaped lid that opens diagonally downward toward the pivot shaft 633. The container lid 65 is connected to a cylinder 67. The cylinder 67 moves the container lid 65 in the front-to-rear direction. When the container lid 65 moves forward, the container lid 65 connects with the first reduced pressure container 631 or the second reduced pressure container 632 located at the drying position 634. Then, the container lid 65 seals the first reduced pressure container 631 or the second reduced pressure container 632.

[0047] The step 31c has the same structure as the step 31b. When the step 31c is slid laterally to open the rear of the drying chamber 13c, the drying chamber 13c can be slid into the open space at the rear.

[0048] The machine room 41c has a front opening 451 and an inspection door 473. The front opening 451 extends over almost the entire front surface of the machine room 41c. The inspection door 473 is, for example, a left-opening single-leaf door. The decompression pump 69 is disposed inside the machine chamber 41c and is, for example, a roots pump, a scroll pump, or a rotary pump. The decompression pipe 68 connects the decompression pump 69 and the container lid 65. The decompression pump 69 reduces the pressure inside the sealed first decompression container 631 or the second decompression container 632, and dries the workpiece 3.

[0049] As shown in Figure 6, the deburring machine 10d includes a deburring chamber 13d, a table rotation motor 22, a table 23, a robot 71, a deburring tool 72, a step 31d, a control panel 43, and a cable rack 33. The left and right sides of the deburring chamber 13d, the step 31d, and the control panel 43 of the deburring machine 10d are located on the same plane. When viewed from above, the deburring machine 10d is rectangular. The deburring machine 11d has casters 311.

[0050] The deburring chamber 13d has the same structure as the cleaning chamber 13a. The robot 71 is, for example, a parallel link type robot, and is placed inside the deburring chamber 13d. The deburring tool 72 has, for example, a rotary cutting tool 721. The deburring tool 72 is installed on a flange portion of the robot 71. The robot 71 freely controls the position and posture of the deburring tool 72. The robot 71 brings the rotary cutting tool 721 into contact with the workpiece 3 to perform deburring.

[0051] Step 31d has a frame 312. Step 31d has the same height and length as steps 31a, 31b, and 31c. Frame 312 connects deburring chamber 13d and control panel 43. The length of step 31d may be made longer than steps 31a to 31c so that the distance from first front surface 132 to the back surface of control panel 43 is aligned with that of processing units 10a to 10c. In this case, when processing units 10a to 10d are lined up, the positions of the back surfaces of each control panel 43 are aligned.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1, when the jet cleaning machine 10a, blowing machine 10b, vacuum dryer 10c, and deburring machine 10d are arranged in a horizontal row, the steps 31 are connected to one another. When the jet cleaning machine 10a, blowing machine 10b, vacuum dryer 10c, and deburring machine 10d are arranged closely together, each step 31 forms an independent passageway. This allows workers to walk on the steps 31 to move between the processing units 10a to 10d.

[0053] Each of the inspection doors 21, 471, 472, and 473 faces the step 31. Therefore, workers standing on the step 31 can concentrate on performing maintenance on the insides of the cleaning chamber 13a, blow chamber 13b, drying chamber 13c, deburring chamber 13d, and machine rooms 41a, 41b, and 41c. Therefore, even if the processing units 10a to 10d are arranged closely together, maintenance is easy.

[0054] Furthermore, when the processing units 10a to 10d are arranged in a horizontal row, the control panels 43 are lined up behind the processing units 10a to 10d. An operator can open each control panel 43 from the back of the processing units 10a to 10d and perform maintenance. Since the control panels 43 are arranged regularly, work efficiency is improved. Furthermore, since the front and back surfaces of the processing units 10a to 10d are aligned in a line, the front and back spaces can be easily utilized. Since the widths of the processing units 10a to 10d are almost the same from front to back, the installation area can be reduced when the units are closely arranged.

[0055] Because the external dimensions of each processing unit 10a-10d are identical, their arrangement can be freely changed. For example, one deburring machine 10d, two jet cleaners 10a, and one vacuum dryer 10c can be installed in sequence. After that, a space equivalent to one processing unit can be left between the jet cleaner 10a and the vacuum dryer 10c, and the blower 10b can be inserted in that space. Alternatively, the jet cleaner 10a or the blower 10b can be removed to reduce the space between them. This embodiment allows for flexible replacement of the processing units 10a-10d. Furthermore, adding or removing functions from the processing unit group can be easily achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of processing units. For example, a jet cleaner 10a can be removed from one factory and added to the processing unit group in another factory. Furthermore, the processing unit group from a discontinued line in one factory can be easily utilized to add to another line.

[0056] The steps 31b of the blower 10b and the vacuum dryer 10c can be slid sideways to free up space behind the treatment chamber for one unit. By sliding the vacuum dryer 10c backward, maintenance can be performed from both the front and rear.

[0057] Casters 311 may be provided in the cleaning chamber 13a and the blow chamber 13b. Casters 311 may also be provided on the tank 35. The cleaning chamber 13a, tank 35, machine chamber 41a, and control panel 43 of the jet washer 10a may be integrally connected, and casters 311 may also be provided.

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention, and all technical matters included in the technical ideas described in the claims are subject to the present invention. The above-described embodiments are preferred examples, but a person skilled in the art can realize various alternatives, modifications, variations, or improvements from the contents disclosed in this specification, and these are included in the technical scope described in the appended claims.
