Washing device

Abstract

To provide a washing apparatus that can wash an object to be washed, more accurately than before.SOLUTION: A washing apparatus, which washes an object W to be washed, while turning and conveying the object, comprises a plurality of work chambers, openable and closable partition parts partitioning the work chambers, a plurality of arms extending in a radial direction with respect to a rotary shaft for turning and conveying the object to be washed, a rotating mechanism that turns the plurality of arms, and tables 5 that are mounted on tips of the plurality of arms. The plurality of work chambers comprise a first work chamber for performing attachment and detachment of the object W to be washed, a second work chamber in which the object W to be washed is washed, and a third work chamber in which the object W to be washed is dried, which further comprise jigs for placing the object W to be washed on the tables 5. The jig has a driving cylinder that has a pressing clasp 10C for pressing and holding the object W to be washed, from above, a support member 10B that supports the pressing clasp 10C turnably, and a spring 10D that energizes the pressing clasp 10C downward, and can put a load on the pressing clasp 10C.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Claims

1. A cleaning device that cleans objects by rotating and conveying them, It comprises multiple work chambers, a partition that can be opened and closed to separate each work chamber, multiple arms extending radially with respect to a rotating axis for rotating and transporting the objects to be washed, a rotation mechanism for rotating the multiple arms, and a table attached to the end of the multiple arms. The aforementioned plurality of work chambers include at least a first work chamber for attaching and detaching the object to be cleaned, a second work chamber for washing the object to be cleaned, and a third work chamber for drying the object to be cleaned. The table further includes a jig for placing the object to be cleaned on, The aforementioned jig is It comprises a clamping fitting that extends horizontally and holds the object to be cleaned between itself and the table by pressing down from above with its tip, a support member that rotatably supports the middle portion of the clamping fitting, and a spring provided between the tip of the clamping fitting and the table that biases the clamping fitting so that its tip presses down on the object to be cleaned from above. The rear end of the aforementioned retaining bracket is equipped with a drive cylinder capable of applying a load in the opposite direction to the direction in which the tip presses down on the object to be cleaned from above. The biasing direction of the spring and the direction in which the drive cylinder applies the load are parallel. Washing device.

2. The aforementioned jig is When the drive cylinder is not applying a load to the retaining clip, The aforementioned retaining bracket holds the object to be cleaned from above by the spring, with the mounting portion with the support member as the axis of rotation. When the drive cylinder is in a state where it is applying a load to the retaining clip, The retaining clip rotates in the opposite direction to the biasing direction of the spring, with the mounting portion to the support member as the axis of rotation, thereby releasing the object to be cleaned. The cleaning apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The pressing fitting of the jig has a main body attached to the support member and a pressing portion for holding down the object to be cleaned. The main body is composed of a mounting portion that is rotatably attached to the support member, a portion to which the pressing portion and the end of the spring are fixed, and a portion that protrudes from the support member in the direction opposite to the object to be cleaned and to which a load is applied by the drive cylinder. The cleaning apparatus according to claim 2.

4. The drive cylinder is equipped with a sensor that detects when a load is applied to the retaining clip and when no load is applied to it. The cleaning apparatus according to claim 1.

5. The aforementioned table is a fixed table. The cleaning apparatus according to claim 1.

6. The aforementioned table is a rotary table. The cleaning apparatus according to claim 1.
