A drainage passage 18 projects from the bottom of the lower case 14 and also serves as a collection container for collecting sewage that has washed the object 3 to be washed in the inside of the object 4 and attached matter that has dropped from the object 3 to be washed. A drain hose can be connected to the drain hose, and the above-mentioned sewage and deposits are discharged from the drain passage 18 to the outside through the drain hose. The upper and lower cases 14 are provided with an inlet 15 for introducing the object 3 to be cleaned and an outlet 16 for delivering the object 3 to be cleaned. A side introduction port 17 for taking in and out between the carrier 1 and the pusher 2 from the side is opened. When the side inlet 17 is provided, a long vertical rope 20 to which a shell is attached can be taken in and out between the carrier 1 and the pusher 2 through the side inlet 17 before the washing operation. Since there is no need to pass from the inlet 15 to the outlet 16, the setting of the object 3 to be cleaned before the start of the cleaning operation is facilitated. Side inlet 17
Is provided with a cleaning liquid scattering prevention curtain 19 in which a large number of fibrous curtain materials are vertically arranged so that the cleaning liquid jetted at a high pressure is not scattered outside from the side inlet 17.

Outside the outlet between the carrier 1 and the pusher 2, a roller-shaped outlet-side guide 12 for guiding the object 3 to be washed sent out from the outlet is arranged. The exit-side guide 12 includes a pole-shaped horizontal guide 92 and a pole-shaped vertical guide 93, and the vertical guide 93 is set up on the gutter-shaped shooter 10. This vertical guide 93 may be rotatably attached to the shooter 10 or may be fixed so as not to rotate. The shooter 10 has the tip side inclined downward. A collection receiver 11 is disposed between the outlet 9 of the carrier 1 and the shooter 10. The collection receiver 11 is provided with a scallop 21 that is detached from the vertical rope 20 during washing.
Of the scallop 21
Can be collected. The collection receiver 11 is also gutter-shaped, is inclined downward toward the tip, and the collected scallop 21 automatically falls in the direction of the tip by its own weight, and falls into the collection basket disposed at the tip thereof. To be collected. The outlet side guide 12, the shooter 10, and the collection receiver 11 are also attached to the housing frame. In this case, the exit-side guide 12, the shooter 10, and the collection receiver 1

The exit side guide body 12 may be only one of the horizontal guide body 92 and the vertical guide body 93. Lateral guide 9
2. The attachment position of the vertical guide body 93 can be attached at any position where those functions are exhibited.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a rotary guide 13 is arranged in front of the entrance of the transporting body 1 outside. The rotary guide 13 guides the object 3 to be cleaned pulled up from the sea and smoothly introduces the same to the entrance of the transport body 1. Two large collars 96 are provided facing each other. The rotation guide 13 is also rotated by a driving body such as a motor. In this case, the rotation speed of the rotation guide 13 is synchronized with the traveling rotation speed of the transport body 1 so that the object 3 to be cleaned pulled up from the sea by the rotation of the rotation guide 13 is smoothly fed into the entrance of the transport body 1. It is. By the way, if the rotation speed of the rotation guide 13 is too high than the traveling rotation speed of the conveyance 1 without the rotation of the rotation guide 13 and the rotation of the conveyance 1 being synchronized, if the object 3 to be washed is a rope, As the feeding amount increases, the rope accumulates in front of the transport body 1 and becomes entangled with the rotation guide body 13.
If the rotation speed is too slower than the traveling rotation speed of the transport body 1, there is a possibility that the rope pulling by the transport body 1 becomes too fast and the rope is cut. In order to rotate the carrier 1 and the rotation guide 13 synchronously, they may be rotated by a common drive source. The rotation guide 13 is also attached to the housing frame to which the carrier 1, the pusher 2 and the like are attached. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning device of the present invention is mounted on the outer side of the entrance 15 of the upper and lower cases 14 so as to protrude to the sea when the cleaning device of the present invention is mounted and fixed on a ship.

It falls into the case 14, is discharged to the outside of the case 14 from the discharge path 18 at the bottom of the case 14, and is processed by filtering with a filter (not shown).

In the above-described example of use, the bent portion of the pusher 2 is normally lowered by its own weight as shown in FIG. 10A, and the introduction portion 5 and the push portion 6 are substantially horizontal. When the object 3 to be cleaned passes below the bent portion of the pusher 2 as in b), the bent portion is pushed up, so that the object 3 to be cleaned smoothly passes under the bent portion. At this time, since the pusher 2 slides forward (to the right in the drawing) by the extent that the bent portion is pushed up and extended, the object 3 to be cleaned can pass under the bent portion more smoothly. When the object to be cleaned 3 approaches the outlet of the pusher 2, the outlet side is pushed up using the drive shaft 51 as a rotation axis as shown in FIG. 10C, and the object to be cleaned 3 smoothly passes thereunder.
As shown in FIG. 10 (d), when two or more scallops 21 with scallops 21 pass under the pusher 2 at the same time, the pusher 2 becomes substantially horizontal, and the washable object 3 moves under the pusher 2 smoothly. Pass through.
If the rotating speed of the carrier 1 and the pressing tool 2 is the same, the object 3 passing between the two moves smoothly, but if the rotating speed of the two is slightly different, the object 3 passing between the two. In some cases, the resistance applied to the cleaning object 3 increases, and the cleaning object 3 can be easily stained.
Can be arbitrarily selected.

According to the first cleaning apparatus of the present invention, since the cleaning tool is disposed outside the carrier and the pressing tool, the transporting tool and the pressing tool can be formed in a thin rotating conveyor shape, and can be reduced in size. Weight reduction becomes possible.

According to the second cleaning apparatus of the present invention, since the pusher can be moved up and down by following the thickness and the passing position of the object to be cleaned passing between it and the carrier, the object to be cleaned can be moved up and down. Is not pushed harder than necessary. Therefore, the object to be washed is less likely to be chipped or broken while passing between the carrier and the pressing tool, and the shellfish does not come off the rope.

According to the third cleaning device of the present invention, the introduction portion of the pusher is arranged upward, and the push portion is connected to the front of the introduction portion in the transport direction so as to be rotatable up and down by the mounting shaft.
An object to be cleaned easily enters between the carrier and the pressing tool.

According to the fourth cleaning apparatus of the present invention, the front end of the pusher is displaced upward in front of the front end of the carrier, so that the pusher is covered between the carrier and the pusher. It becomes easy to enter the washings.

According to the fifth cleaning device of the present invention, since the recovery device for recovering the object to be cleaned detached from the rope and sending it to the outside is provided outside the pusher and the outlet of the carrier, the device falls from the rope. The object to be cleaned is reliably collected, and there is no waste of the object to be cleaned. In addition, since the outlet-side guide body for guiding the object to be washed is provided, the object to be washed sent from the outlet is not entangled at the end of the outlet. Since the shooter is provided, the object to be cleaned is reliably sent out of the sea from the shooter.

In the sixth cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, since the rotary guide is provided in front of the carrier, the object to be cleaned is reliably sent between the carrier and the pusher. Further, since the rotation guide rotates in synchronization with the traveling rotation of the carrier, the object to be cleaned is reliably and smoothly sent to the entrance of the carrier.

In the seventh cleaning apparatus of the present invention, since the case accommodating the carrier and the pusher also serves as the collection container, the cleaning object is washed from the dirt cleaning liquid or the cleaning object in the case. The waste material is surely collected in the case and discharged to the outside through a discharge path provided in the case, so that the work place is hardly soiled.

According to the eighth cleaning apparatus of the present invention, the carrier and the pusher are housed in the case, and the case is provided with a side inlet through which the object to be cleaned can be taken in and out from the side. In the case of a long object such as an attached rope, the leading end can be manually slid from the side introduction opening and introduced between the carrier and the pusher prior to the washing operation and set. Therefore, there is no need to manually insert the object to be cleaned from the inlet of the carrier and the pusher and pull out the outlet from the outlet between the carrier and the pusher, thereby facilitating preparation before the start of the cleaning operation.

According to the ninth cleaning apparatus of the present invention, since a cleaning liquid scattering prevention curtain in which a large number of fibrous curtain materials are vertically arranged at the side inlet is provided, the cleaning liquid at the time of cleaning and the object to be cleaned are washed off. Sewed waste does not scatter outside from the side introduction port, so that not only the worker but also the cleaning device, the work place and the like are not stained. In addition, the use of a fibrous curtain material makes the curtain soft, and does not hinder the curtain when the object to be cleaned is introduced from the side inlet into the space between the carrier and the pusher.
