Drainage device

Abstract

To provide a draining device that removes residual moisture from a container after washing, the draining device being capable of efficiently and sufficiently removing moisture without increasing a facility cost.SOLUTION: A draining device includes a carrying-in device 10, a rotary transporting device 20, a carrying-out device 30, and a fixed guide 40. The rotary transporting device 20 has a plurality of rotating blades 22 which are arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential direction while centering on an axis G in a rotary transporting direction and extend outward in a radial direction, and rotates to transport a container W while supporting the container W by each of the rotating blades 22. The container W is transferred from the rotary transporting device 20 to the fixed guide 40 with a first side surface Wc located downstream in a conveying direction in the carrying-in device 10 serving as a lower surface. The container W transferred to the fixed guide 40 is pushed in by edges of the rotating blades 22 and slides on the fixed guide 40. The container W that has slid on the fixed guide 40 drops onto the carrying-out device 30 with a bottom surface side Wa located on an upper side in the carrying-in device 10 serving as a lower surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

1. A draining device for removing residual water from a container after washing, A means for transporting the aforementioned container, A rotary conveying means for rotating and conveying the container that has been loaded from the aforementioned loading means upward, A means for unloading the container, The system includes a fixed guide that guides the container from the rotary conveying means toward the discharge means, The aforementioned rotary conveying means is It has multiple rotating blades arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction around a central axis in the rotational transport direction, and extending radially outward. The container is supported by each of the aforementioned rotating blades and rotated and conveyed. The aforementioned container is With the side of the loading means located downstream in the transport direction facing downwards, the passenger is transferred from the rotating transport means onto the fixed guide. The container, having moved onto the aforementioned fixed guide, is pushed in by the end of the rotating blade and slides along the fixed guide. The container, having slid along the fixed guide, falls onto the unloading means with the side that was positioned on the upper side of the loading means facing downwards. A draining device characterized by the following features.

2. The aforementioned loading means is In the input area where the container is placed into the rotary conveying means, The container is provided so as to be slidable, It has an inclined guide that slopes upward toward the downstream side in the conveying direction, The draining device according to claim 1, characterized in that
