Further, the first embodiment of the mat cleaning device of the present invention is provided with an elevating mechanism that prevents damage and failure due to upward overload and facilitates maintenance. The elevating mechanism has a resilient urging force in a pulling-up direction slightly smaller than the total weight of the casing 8 to which the bevel roller 1, the removing roller 2, the take-in roller 3, and the discharge roller 4 are attached. It is configured with a raised resilient member (such as a lifting coil spring). Moreover, it has the guide member which guides the casing 8 to an up-down direction. Moreover, it has the spring length adjustment bolt which can adjust the spring length by moving the attachment position of a raising elastic member in an up-down direction.
That is, the elevating mechanism can press the mat A appropriately by the difference between the elastic biasing force in the pulling-up direction and the weight of the casing 8 as a whole (including the rollers 2, 3, 4, etc.) as a pressing force. To do. Further, the casing 8 as a whole is easily lifted by the elastic biasing force in the pulling-up direction, and maintenance of each of the rollers 2, 3 and 4 is possible. Further, when an upward force (overload) greater than the pressing force is applied between each of the rollers 1, 3, 4 and the belt conveyor 10 (such as a hard foreign object such as a stone entering), the casing 8 While being guided by the guide member, it can move freely so as to escape naturally.

  Further, a clogging prevention mechanism (not shown) for preventing clogging of the mat A is provided. The clogging prevention mechanism is provided with a swing plate in the vicinity of the inlet side 11a (intake port) of the cleaner 11 when the mat A is bent and conveyed to the belt conveyor 10 in a folded state. ing. The swing plate swings by contacting the bent portion of the mat A, and operates an emergency stop switch for stopping the operation of the mat cleaning device of the present invention.

The use method (action) of the first embodiment of the mat cleaning device of the present invention described above will be described.
The mat A placed on the belt conveyor 10 with the flocking surface Aa on the cleaning side facing upward is conveyed so as to enter the take-in roller 3 (in the direction of arrow D). Mounting the roller 3 is rotated in the belt conveyor 10 in the taking-rotational direction to send the Hasuke roller 1 with moderate pressing the mat A (arrow E ₃ direction).

The mat A conveyed by the take-in roller 3 and the belt conveyor 10 enters between the inclined roller 1 and the belt conveyor 10. Hasuke roller 1 is cleaned by rotating the cleaning direction of rotation (arrow E ₁ direction) to feed the mat A in the transport direction D.

The mat A is sent to the discharge roller 4. The discharge roller 4 rotates in the discharge rotation direction (arrow E ₄ direction) so as to pull out the mat A from the bevel roller 1. Then, the mat A is discharged from the cleaner 11 in the transport direction D in cooperation with the belt conveyor 10 while being appropriately pressed against the belt conveyor 10, and the cleaning of the mat A is completed.

Here, when the Hasuke roller 1 to clean the mats A, short-haired 1a of Hasuke roller 1, brushing the mat hair Ac mats A sent to the cleaning direction of rotation E _1. A number of the inclined short hairs 1a are sequentially brought into contact with the mat hair Ac of the mat A and scraped up into the suction casing 20 so as to scrape the lint-like foreign matter B. Further, foreign matter such as paper waste is scraped up into the suction casing 20.

  The inclined hair roller 1 reliably collects foreign matter such as cleaned dust through the suction casing 20 in the dust collector.

  Even before the inclined hair roller 1 contacts the mat A, light dust such as cotton dust is sucked by the suction port 20a of the suction casing 20.

Further, by cleaning the mat A, various foreign matters such as paper scraps and yarn-like foreign matters B adhere to the oblique hair roller 1. However, in the upper side of Hasuke roller 1, removing roller 2 is rotated in the removal direction of rotation (arrow E ₂ direction) at a greater peripheral speed than Hasuke roller 1, removing roller 2 removal hair short hair 1a The foreign matter adhering to the inclined hair roller 1 is removed by the contact of 2b. In other words, when the removal hair 2b comes into contact with the short hair 1a, brushing is performed so that the short hair 1a is tilted to extrude foreign matter or the like that has entered the root of the short hair 1a.

  Foreign matter such as dust adhering to the inclined hair roller 1 removed by the removal bristles 2b passes through the suction casing 20 and is reliably collected in the dust collector.

  Here, the yarn-like foreign matter B adhered to the oblique hair roller 1 is removed from the oblique hair roller 1 by the removal hair 2 b, but there are some that wrap around the removal roller 2. The wound yarn-like foreign matter B winds in the circumferential direction of the removing roller 2 and further tends to be hard to enter in the radial inward direction, but prevents the prevention member 2a from being difficult to stack in the radial inward direction. That is, they are not stacked radially inward from the outer diameter of the rotation locus circle of the prevention member 2a. Then, the lint-like foreign matter B is laminated radially outward, but the lint-like foreign matter B laminated radially outwardly acts as a centrifugal force and is separated so as to be blown off from the removal roller 2. The separated lint-like foreign matter B passes through the suction casing 20 and is reliably collected in the dust collector. Further, the lint-like foreign matter B remaining around the prevention member 2a without being separated is wound away from the shaft 2c so that it can be easily cut and removed with scissors or a cutter.

Further, the bevel roller 1, the take-in roller 3, and the discharge roller 4 are not subjected to the vertical tension due to the tension from the respective drive transmission members T ₁ , T ₃ , T ₄ , and the mat A is always moderate. Touch with a gentle pressure.

  Also, if the mat A is folded or curved by the take-in roller 3, the bevel roller 1, or the discharge roller 4, or if a hard foreign object such as a stone enters (each roller 1 , 3, 4), the casing 8 moves so as to escape upward. That is, each roller 1, 3 and 4 naturally escapes upward. Further, during the maintenance, since the upward elastic member is urged upward, it is easily lifted (lightly lifted) with a force smaller than the weight of the casing 8 as a whole.

  Further, when the mat A is taken into the cleaning machine 11, even if the mat A is in a folded state or a curved state, the rocking plate of the clogging prevention mechanism is located near the inlet side 11a of the cleaning machine 11. The emergency stop is performed by operating an emergency stop switch that oscillates by contacting a curved portion of the mat A (a portion higher than when the mat A is accurately disposed) and stops operation.
