Definitions

  • a device for internally and externally cleaning a tubular article comprising cylindrical parallel brushes for sup porting said article, said brushes being driven in the same direction, but at a different rate, means being provided for reciprocating the article in axial direction, the device further comprising spraying members, located inside and outside the article for spraying a cleaning liquid against said article.
  • My invention relates to a device for internally and ex ternally cleaning a tubular article, such as a cylindrical screen or stencil, comprising a central tube with lateral spraying members, the tube being mounted such that the article is capable of a sliding movement around the tube, and further comprising a number of spraying members arranged in spaced relationship from the central tube and adapted to spray the outer surface of the article.
  • Such a device and various embodiments thereof are known in which the-article to be cleaned is supported at its ends, whereupon by means of liquid jets with or without brushes a cleansing is achieved.
  • Such a device can only be applied when the impurities are not too adherent, unless the solidity of the article is such that the liquid jets and the brushes can exert a sufficient force.
  • This object is obtained according to the invention in that at least two substantially cylindrical brushes are arranged parallel to the central tube in such a way that the article to be cleaned is supported by these brushes, while means are provided for driving the brushes at a different rate and for slightly reciprocating the article to be cleaned in axial direction.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective side elevation of the device
  • FIG. 2 is a section through a part of the device taken along line II-II in. FIG. 1.
  • the device consists of a frame 1 comprising two oppositely situated supporting boxes 2 and 3 which are interconnected by a plurality of rods 4. Mounted between the two boxes 2 and 3 are two slightly inclined parallel cylindrical brushes 5 and 6, the arrangement being such that the article 7 to be cleaned, in this case a cylindrical screen or stencil, can be supported by these brushes. Centrally located between the brushes 5 and 6 and above them but slightly spaced therefrom, a central tube 8 is secured to the box 2 and extends parallel to the brushes. This tube 8 is provided with lateral spraying members 9. The location of tube 8 is such that the article 7 to be cleaned can be placed around tube 8 and rested on brushes 5 and 6.
  • a number of spraying members 10 are arranged at some distance from the central tube 8. These spraying members are mounted on two tubes 11 which extend parallel to the central tube 8 between the boxes 2 and 3, the arrangement being such that the spraying members 10 can spray the outer surface of the article 7 and especially the contact area between the brushes 5, 6 on the one hand and the article 7 on the other hand.
  • Means are provided within the box 3 for driving the brushes 5 and 6.
  • the drive is effected in the same direction but at a different rotational rate.
  • a control panel 12 is mounted with buttons for starting the drive for the brushes and for opening magnetic valves for the supply of water to the tubes 8 and 11.
  • Means for the axial reciprocation of the article 7 to be cleaned are disposed in the proximity of the box 2. These means consist of a ring or disc 13 which is rotatably and eccentrically supported around an axle 14 which is perpendicular to the center line of the article to be cleaned. This axle 14 is for instance secured to the central tube 8. The circumference of the ring 13 is in contact with the lowermost end 15 0f the cylindrical stencil 7. In operation the article 7 will rotate and thereby drive the ring 13 so that the article is subjected to reciprocation in an axial direction.
  • the eccentricity of the axle 14 can for instance be 15 mm. so that the length of the stroke is 3 m.
  • the brushes 5 and 6 are driven in the same direction of rotation but at a different rate, for instance and revolutions per minute, in such a way that the article 7 is rotated while at least one of the two brushes is in frictional contact with the outer surface of the article.
  • Three hand wheels 16 are mounted on the box 3 by which the quantity of liquid issuing from the spraying members 9 and 10 can be adjusted.
  • My invention allows for a very effective cleaning of vulnerable and limp articles such as e.g., cylindrical screens or stencils without the local load on the article becoming too heavy.
  • the brushes 8 can be of slightly conical instead of cylindrical shape, provided the position of the brushes is such that the tubular article 7 is sup ported along at least two generatn'ces. It is obvious that the device may be provided with three brushes 8 if this is desirable for the purpose of cleaning or retaining the article 7.
  • a device for internally and externally cleaning a tubular article comprising a central tube with lateral spraying members, the tube being mounted such that the article is capable of a sliding movement on the tube, and a number of spraying members arranged in spaced relationship from the central tube and adapted to spray the outer surface of the article, the improvement consisting in that at least two substantially cylindrical brushes are arranged parallel to the central tube such that the article to be cleaned can be supported by these brushes, and means for driving the brushes at a dilferent rate and for slightly reciprocating the article to be cleaned in axial direction.
  • the means for the axial reciprocation of the article to be cleaned comprising a ring rotatably and eccentrically supported around and axle which is perpendicular to the center line of the article to be cleaned, the circumference of the ring being in contact with the lowermost end of the article.
  • a device wherein only two brushes are provided which are situated under the central tube on either side of a vertical plane through this tube, the brushes being driven in the same direction of rotation, the spraying members arranged outside the article to be cleaned being at least partially directed at the contact areas between the brushes and the article.
