SOLUTION: A cylindrical vessel 13 consisting of a cylinder 13a and a sheathing board 13b is supported by a frame 11 having a moving wheel through a double bearing 14, a brush 12a is stuck onto the inner face of the vessel 13, and a rotary brush 12b is passed through the center of the vessel 13. A ball inlet 15 is provided in the periphery of the vessel 13, a lid 16 capable of being opened or closed by a hinge 16a and a lock handle 16b is attached to the inlet 15, and a packing 16c is inserted not to leak cleaning water. The rotary brush 12b is rotated by a geared motor 17 fixed to the outside of the frame 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning a large amount of dirty balls at one time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art To remove dirt from a used ball, the ball is wiped off with a rag or rubbed off with a brush in water.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional method of removing dirt on a ball, there is no problem when the number of balls is small, but much time and labor are required to remove dirt on many balls. And

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a ball cleaning apparatus which can easily remove a lot of used balls without requiring much labor and time.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cylindrical container having a weir plate integrally provided at both ends of a cylindrical body supported by a frame, and a ball thrown into an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical container. A mouth is provided, a rotating brush is passed through the center of the cylindrical container, and a brush is attached to the inner surface of the cylindrical container. If necessary, the cylindrical container is made watertight and the cylindrical container is rotated. The configuration is made possible.

According to the present invention constructed as described above, a large number of balls put into a cylindrical container are washed by a rotating brush. In particular, when the cylindrical container is rotated, a large number of the charged balls are inverted and agitated, so that the washing is performed more efficiently.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. A cylindrical body 13 is mounted on a frame 11 having moving wheels 10 via a double bearing 14.
a and a weir plate 13b, a cylindrical container 13 is supported, and a brush 12a is attached to the inner surface of the cylindrical container 13;
A rotating brush 12b passes through the center.

[0008] A ball inlet 15 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical container 13.
A lid 16 that can be opened and closed by a lock handle 16b and a lock handle 16b is attached, and a packing 16c is provided to prevent leakage of cleaning water.
Is fitted.

The rotating brush 12b is rotatable by a geared motor 17 mounted outside the frame 11.

When cleaning the ball B, the lock handle 16b is removed, the lid 16 is opened, and water and the ball are charged.
The lid 16 is closed, the lock handle 16b is locked, and the geared motor 17 is activated to perform cleaning. When the washing is completed, the lid 16 is opened, the lock pin 18 is pulled out, and the cylindrical container 13 is rotated half a turn to discharge the water and the washed balls.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. A cylindrical container 23 composed of a cylindrical body 23a and a weir plate 23b is supported by a frame 21 having moving wheels 20 via a double bearing 24, and is rotatable by a geared motor 27a.

A brush 22a is provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical container 23.
And a rotating brush 22b penetrates the center thereof.

A ball input port 25 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical container 23. The ball input port 25 has a hinge 2
A lid 26 which can be opened and closed by a lock handle 6b and a lock handle 26b is attached.
Is fitted.

The rotating brush 22b is rotatable by a geared motor 27b mounted outside the frame 21.

When the ball is to be washed, the lock handle 26b is removed, the lid 26 is opened, water and the ball are thrown in, the lid 26 is closed, the lock handle 26b is locked, and both geared motors 27a, 27b are activated to wash. . At this time, the rotation of the cylindrical container 23 and the rotation of the rotating brush 22b are in opposite directions. When the washing is completed, the lid 26 is opened, the geared motor 27a is moved slightly, and the inlet 25 is turned downward, so that the washed balls and water are discharged.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a large amount of dirty balls can be easily washed without human power. In particular, in the second embodiment, the cylindrical container rotates and the ball is inverted.
Because it is stirred, it can be washed efficiently.
