を２箇所設置している。Reference numeral 10 denotes a sterilizer for sterilizing contaminated water leaking from between the pedestal portion 3 and the rotating portion 4 irrespective of the presence of the seal member 8. The sterilization apparatus 10 is provided on the upper surface of the pedestal portion 3 and on the rotating portion 4 so that the sterilizing agent (sodium hypochlorite solution) spreads over almost the entire upper surface of the pedestal portion.
It has a spray nozzle 11 for spraying a sterilant toward the vicinity. In this case, it is preferable that the sterilizing agent is not directly injected to the seal member 8 but is injected slightly below the seal member 8. It is desirable that the spray nozzle 11 sprays the sterilizing agent in the form of a mist, in order to satisfactorily sterilize the upper surface of the pedestal portion 3. Piping 12 of injection nozzle 11
Is the source 1 of the sterilant via the check valve 13 and the valve 14.
5. The sterilization apparatus 10 of the present embodiment is similar to that of FIG.
As shown in FIG.
