The present invention relates to a brush module for a plate washing apparatus capable of a stable supply of washing water, and to a plate washing apparatus using the same, and more particularly, a washing step for washing a surface of a plate that is continuously moved and a plate for which the washing process is completed. In sequentially performing the rinsing process of rinsing the surface of the plate first and second, the efficiency of washing and rinsing by washing water is doubled by washing the plate or directly spraying the washing water on the rinsing area, The present invention relates to a brush module for a plate washing apparatus capable of a stable supply of washing water to enable a rapid removal of foreign substances remaining in a brush bristle for rinsing, and a plate washing apparatus using the same.

In recent years, large groups such as schools, military units, and public institutions are living in large groups, and this trend is expected to increase gradually.

In general, in the above-mentioned group meals, rice, soup, and various side dishes are received, transported, and ingested in each plate of the plate, so the hygienic management of the plate is very important.

By the way, it is very cumbersome to wash the plate manually every time, and in the case of the group food restaurant workers who repeatedly wash a large number of plates, the pain of the musculoskeletal system may be complained.

Accordingly, in recent years, a washing process for washing a plate and a plate washing apparatus for automatically performing a rinsing process have been developed to ensure convenience of washing the plate.

By the way, the conventional plate cleaning device is formed in the form of passing the plate between the washing roller to rotate in the transverse direction, the limit of the brush does not reach the washing roller in a relatively deep cup, and thus a stable washing of the cup in the plate It is difficult to plan for this, and this phenomenon is intensified in military plates with a deep depth of praise.

In this way, if stable cleaning of the ball is not planned in the cleaning process, tearing time such as scale is inevitably adhered to the inner wall of the ball, and in this field, chemicals are periodically used to remove the tearing time of the scale. However, this is not desirable from the human body or environmental aspects.

Therefore, even if it is washed through the plate cleaning device has been pointed out that the oil or foreign substances remain in the cold corner of the plate for a long time, it is not secure a stable hygiene state.

On the other hand, the inventors through the Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 2011-124493 so that each of the cleaning brush installed at the end of the washing shaft through the brush module having the cleaning shaft is formed in the end of the plate to rotate in the longitudinal direction to enter the mouth of the plate In this way, individual washing of each ball formed in the plate is planned.

Thus, when entering in the longitudinal direction to wash, since the foreign matter adhering to each cup formed on the surface of the plate is removed, more stable cleaning of the ball can be planned.

In particular, as a result of the inventors experimented with the actual prototype, it was confirmed that the cleaning brush has an excellent cleaning efficiency as compared to the plate cleaning apparatus employing the cleaning brush conventionally entered in the transverse direction.

However, since the brush module has to perform the process of entering and exiting the cold plate of the plate, the cleaning time is delayed due to the entry and exit of the brush module, the efficiency of the cleaning is lowered, and the washing water in the process of washing the plate through friction of the cleaning brush Is not supplied stably to the cleaning area, there is a possibility that foreign matter may remain on the washed plate.

An object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to sequentially perform a washing step of washing the surface of the plate that is continuously moved and a rinsing process of first and second rinsing the surface of the plate is completed.

In this configuration, since the retraction structure and the delay time due to the retreat of the multi-axial brush module 10 and the drum-type brush module 20 are prevented, the promptness of the washing and rinsing is secured.

Therefore, the washing unit 110 and the primary rinsing unit 120 are passed by the transfer unit 140 to perform stable washing and primary rinsing, and through the rinsing nozzles 131 in the secondary rinsing unit 130. Secondary rinsing is performed by the high pressure spraying water, and stable washing and rinsing of foreign substances on the surface and back of the plate T are performed.

On the other hand, in the present invention by improving the brush module (10, 20) constituting the washing unit 110 and the primary rinsing unit 120, washing by the longitudinal brush (10) and the drum-type brush (20) or By configuring the washing water to be injected directly to the rinsing portion, the more stable washing and rinsing is achieved by the washing water supplied with the friction by the brush hair 13b, 21b.

To this end, in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 3, the longitudinal pivoting shaft 12 constituting the multi-axial brush module 10 is constituted by a hollow tube 12a, and a longitudinal rotation shaft ( The injection nozzle 13c which communicates with the hollow part 12a of 12 is formed.

Further, the washing water supply pipe P of the circulation pumps P2 and P3 for forcibly supplying the washing water is connected to the longitudinal rotation shaft 12 and the horizontal rotation shaft 21a as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5. To wash the plate by the rotating longitudinal brush 13 and the drum type brush 21, or the washing water forcedly supplied through the washing water supply pipe P to the rinsing part is forcedly injected, Ensure a stable cleaning or rinsing of T) is achieved.

3 and 5 showing a preferred embodiment, the rear end of the longitudinal rotation shaft 12 and the end of the drum shaft 21a are connected to the washing water supply pipe P through the rotational coupling C, The directional rotation shaft 12 and the drum shaft 21a are connected to the washing water supply pipe P in a rotational structure to rotate.

In such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the washing water is forced to the spray or rinsing portion of the plate by the longitudinal brush 13 and the drum brush 21, and as a result, the longitudinal brush 13 ) And the washing water supplied together with the friction by the drum-type brush 21 enables more stable and rapid cleaning and rinsing of the plate surface.

In particular, foreign matter remaining in the brush heads 13b and 21b of the longitudinal brush and the drum-type brush during the cleaning of the plate is quickly discharged by the washing water, so that contamination of the brush hair caused by the foreign matter is suppressed, thereby ensuring a stable hygiene state. It is possible.

At this time, according to the present invention, when the brushes are discharged at a high speed at a speed exceeding a set value, the brushes are unfolded outward by the high speed rotation, so that the contact with the plate is poor, and the cleaning is lowered. When the hairs rotate at a lower speed than the set value, productivity decreases due to the cleaning of the plate through friction with the brush hairs.

In view of this, the inventor has derived an optimum rotational speed of the longitudinal brushes, which will be described in detail below.

The optimum RPM per minute (RPM) of the longitudinal brushes derived from the present invention is 50 to 250, and when the plate is washed by rotating the longitudinal brush at the optimum rpm, the number of washings sprayed between the brush heads is stable. As it remains, the stable friction between the bristles and the plate was established, and it was confirmed that the plate had efficiency and stability due to the plate washing.

In other words, if the longitudinal brush is rotated at a low speed of less than 50 RPM, stable adhesion between the plate and the bristles is achieved, but the friction is low, which makes it difficult to quickly clean the plate. By sliding outwards, the contact between the plate and the brush bristles becomes poor, resulting in a poor cleaning state of the plate.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is another technical feature that the optimum RPM per minute of each longitudinal brush is 50 to 250.

In addition, in the present invention, by sequentially placing the washing unit 110, the first rinsing unit 120 and the second rinsing unit 130 in the frame structure 150, a series of processes according to the washing of the plate continuously In performing, the washing water used for the second rinsing is used for the first rinsing, and the washing water used for the first rinsing is reused for washing to prevent waste of the washing water.

To this end, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 is disposed in the recovery tank (T1) for recovering the washing water sprayed in the secondary rinsing process through the rinse nozzle 131 in the lower portion of the secondary rinsing unit (130) Thus, the washing water collected in the recovery tank (T1) 12 of the longitudinal axis of rotation of the multi-axis brush module 10 and the drum-type brush module 20 provided in the primary rinsing unit 120 by the circulation pump (P2) ) And the drum shaft 21a.

In addition, a recovery tank T2 for recovering the washing water injected in the first rinsing process is disposed below the primary rinsing unit 120, and the washing water recovered in the recovery tank T2 is a circulation pump P3. By the multi-axial brush module 10 and the drum-type brush module 20 provided in the cleaning unit 110 to the longitudinal rotation axis 12 and the drum shaft 21a, respectively, and to the cleaning unit 110 The sprayed washing water is recovered by the recovery tank T3 disposed under the washing unit 110.

Therefore, the present invention utilizes the washing water used for the second rinsing in the first rinsing and reuses the washing water used in the first rinsing for washing, so that excessive use of the washing water can be prevented.
