In an embodiment, when formed as a separate type, the fresh water unit 13 is configured to be drawn out in a drawer manner and separated from the main body 10 . Allow workers to dispose of the contained water.

On the other hand, when the fresh water unit 13 is integrally formed with the main body 10, referring to FIG. 1 as an embodiment, the fresh water unit 13 is formed at the lower portion of the main body 10 and has an external drain line ( It has a drain hole 13a communicating with L1).

In addition, the external drain line L1 uses a separate discharge valve V1 or a pump (not shown) to discharge the water contained in the fresh water unit 13 to the outside according to the control of the setting so that it can be removed.

On the other hand, the main body 10 constituting the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention has a set size and includes a moving base 50 having a moving wheel 51 at the lower portion as needed, so that the operator can easily determine the use position. Allows you to change the move.

Then, the fire extinguishing unit 20 constituting the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention is controlled to the internal space S of the main body 10 on which the burning charcoal C is seated for a set time according to water (W) configured to spray.

In one embodiment for this, the fire extinguishing unit 20 is connected to an external water supply unit (W/S) and connected to a water channel hole 11a formed on one side of the body cover unit 11 described above to supply water. and a valve body 22 that is connected to one side of the connecting hose 21 to control the flow of water (W) according to the setting, and is connected with the connecting hose 21 and of the main body 10 . It includes a spray nozzle 23 for spraying water according to the control into the inner space (S).

For example, it goes without saying that the water supply unit (W/S) can be configured in the form of a bucket in which separate water is stored.

Of course, when the water supply unit (W / S) is provided in the form of a bucket, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention can be used outdoors, where it is difficult to connect to an external faucet depending on the environment of use. On the other hand, if necessary, the water supply unit (W / S) can be configured to include a separate pump (P) of course.

Then, the valve body 22, which controls the flow by supplying water (W) to the connection hose 21 according to the control, controls the flow of water according to an automatic or manual operation. It includes an electromagnetic valve part 22a for automatically controlling the flow of water (W) according to a control signal, and a manual valve part 22b for controlling the flow of water (W) according to a user's manual operation, that is, a switch operation. .

This manual valve unit 22b is a preliminary direct water device, and even when it is difficult to supply water to the fire extinguishing unit 20 according to the automatic setting due to an accident such as a failure, the operator directly manipulates the manual valve unit 22b to provide a water supply unit. It enables the use of the charcoal cleaner device (1) by enabling water supply through the (W/S) and the connecting hose 21 and the spray nozzle 23 .

Preferably, the valve body 22 is provided in the controller 40 to be described later to facilitate the user's operation.

On the other hand, as described above, the steam discharge unit 30 applied to the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention communicates with one side of the main body 10 and burns the charcoal (C) when water is sprayed by the fire extinguishing unit 20. A large amount of water vapor (W1) generated by this is forcibly discharged to the outside.

As the water vapor (W1) generated in this way is rapidly discharged to the outside, the process of drying the charcoal (C) by hot air in the internal space is performed, and the charcoal is restored to a clean and dry charcoal.

As an embodiment for this, the steam discharge unit 30 applied to the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention is, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 , a discharge hole 14 formed on an upper side of the body 10. An intake pipe 31 communicating with the intake pipe 31 and an exhaust pipe 32 having one side communicating with the intake pipe 31 and having an exhaust port 32a, and introducing air into the exhaust pipe 32 to induce an air flow toward the exhaust port 32a It has a configuration including an air compressor (33).

Through this configuration, when a large amount of water vapor (W1) is generated inside the main body 10 according to the operation of the fire extinguishing unit 20, the air compressor 33 of the steam discharge unit 30 is controlled by the fire extinguishing unit ( 20), and a strong air flow is formed in the exhaust pipe 33 in the direction of the exhaust port 32a.

On the other hand, one side of the intake pipe 31 communicates with the discharge hole 14 of the main body 10 and the other side communicates with one side of the exhaust pipe 32 , and the strong air flow formed in the exhaust port 32a communicates with the communication suction pipe 31 . The air of the engine 31 is sucked, and the discharge hole 14 of the body 10 communicating with the intake pipe 31 sucks a large amount of water vapor W1 generated in the body 10 toward the intake pipe 31 . A large amount of water vapor (W1) that is eventually generated is sucked in again according to the air flow of the exhaust pipe 32 and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 32a.

On the other hand, the intake pipe 31 has a set inclination angle α in the direction in which the air flows with respect to the exhaust pipe 32 , and prevents the reverse flow of the water vapor W1 and facilitates the external exhaust flow.

On the other hand, as described above, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention includes a controller 40 for controlling the operation of the fire extinguishing unit 20 and the steam discharging unit 30 on the outside of the main body 10 .

And, in one embodiment, the controller 40, referring to FIG. 5 , sets the water injection time of the power supply unit 41 for supplying power, the fire extinguishing unit 20 and the operation time of the steam discharge unit 30 . The timer unit 42 to do, the operation unit 43 for determining the time setting of the timer unit 42 and the operation state of the fire extinguishing unit 20 and the steam discharging unit 30, and the operation state of the device can be checked to the outside It includes a display unit 44 for displaying, and a control unit 45 for generating, storing and transmitting a control signal according to an input setting value.

Preferably, the operation unit 43 includes a power button and an operation button, and the operation button may be configured as a separate button 43a outside the case constituting the controller 40 to increase user convenience. Of course, it can be configured in the form of an electronic button on the display unit 44 and can be used in combination.

Next, with reference to the accompanying Figures 1 to 10, looking at the specific use state of the charcoal cleaner apparatus 1 according to the present invention is as follows.

First, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention is in a state where the setting is completed according to the capacity of the burning charcoal (C) to be restored.

In other words, the injection time and the injection amount of water by the fire extinguishing unit 20 are set according to the capacity of the burning charcoal (C), and the operating time of the steam discharge unit 30 is set.

The set state (set value) of the fire extinguishing unit 20 and the steam discharging unit 30 is determined through the operation of the controller 40, and preferably, the set value once set is automatically stored until the operator operates again.

And, for the use of the charcoal cleaner device 1 that has been set, the user (operator) opens the cover 11 of the main body 10 at a set angle as shown in FIG. 7 and contains burning charcoal (C). Pick up the container using a tool and place it on the mounting portion 12 inside the body 10 as shown in FIG. 8 .

At this time, the burning charcoal (C) contains ashes (dust, ch).

And, referring to FIG. 9 , the operator operates the controller 40 to operate the fire extinguishing unit 20 . Accordingly, the water (W) supplied to the connection hose 21 through the water supply unit (W / S) is injected into the inner space (S) of the body 10 for a set time through the injection nozzle (23).

Water (W) sprayed through the spray nozzle (23) collides with burning charcoal (C) seated on the mounting part (12) in the inner space (S), and water (W) is instantaneously evaporated by the charcoal fire and heat. A large amount of water vapor (W1) is generated. And a water film (W2) is instantaneously formed on the burning charcoal (C), and the fire is turned off as oxygen is blocked by this water film (W2).

On the other hand, through a number of experiments, this water injection time is preferably 8 to 10 seconds.

If the water spray time is less than 8 seconds, the fire does not go out because the water film is formed and maintained for a short time. Reuse may be difficult.

Then, the sprayed water (W) falls downward, passes through the mounting unit 12 , and is collected in the fresh water unit 13 .

On the other hand, water (W) sprayed through the injection nozzle (23) shakes off the ashes (ch) attached to the charcoal (C) as it collides with the burning charcoal (C). The ashes (ch) have a higher specific gravity together with the water (W) and are separated downward. As they pass through the mounting part 12, they fall into the freshwater part 13 and are collected in the freshwater part 13 together with water.

On the other hand, at the same time as the operation of the fire extinguishing unit 20 described above occurs, the steam discharge unit 30 operates for a set time according to the control.

As described above, referring to FIG. 4 , a large amount of water vapor W1 generated inside the main body 10 and rising to the upper portion of the internal space S is discharged through the discharge hole 14 by the strong air flow of the exhaust pipe 32 . It passes through the intake pipe 31 and is sucked into the exhaust pipe 32, and is forcibly discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 32a communicating with the outside.

In this way, because a large amount of water vapor (W1) is generated inside the main body 10 and discharged to the outside by the operation of the steam discharge unit 30, the generated water vapor (W1) does not come into contact with the extinguished charcoal again. is dried by the remaining heat.

Accordingly, the charcoal (C) is quickly restored in a state in which the fire is turned off and is immediately reusable (see FIGS. 9 and 10 ).

In addition, since a large amount of water vapor W1 is generated inside the body 10 and discharged to the outside by the operation of the steam discharge unit 30, the pressure inside the body 10 is lowered to prevent damage to the device. .

Preferably, the operating time of the steam discharge unit 30 is 20 to 30 seconds.

If the operating time is less than 20 seconds, it may not be possible to sufficiently discharge water vapor (W1) from the internal space (S). can

Referring again to Figure 10, the fire is turned off according to the control of the setting, the ashes are removed and the restored charcoal (C) is taken out by opening the cover part 11 of the main body 10 and immediately reusable.

Charcoal (C) restored to be reusable in this way can be restored to a reusable state any number of times through the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention according to its size and capacity.

On the other hand, the used water (W) contained in the fresh water part (13) of the main body (10) contains ash (ch) that has fallen from the charcoal, which is discharged outside through the drain line (L1) according to the control and treated separately. do.

As described above, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention is configured to include a main body 10, a fire extinguishing unit 20, and a steam discharge unit 30, and is located inside the sealed body 10. By spraying water (W) on the charcoal (C), it instantly forms a water film (W2) and cuts off oxygen to quickly extinguish the fire (F). As it moves downward, it minimizes the waste of charcoal while increasing the recovery power of the charcoal.

In addition, the process of extinguishing the fire inside the sealed main body 10, the process of removing the ashes, and the process of drying the charcoal by forcibly discharging the generated water vapor (W1) to the outside progresses simultaneously according to the control of the setting. It can be reused by restoring it to dry, clean charcoal in a short time.

On the other hand, in the charcoal cleaner apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, a large amount of water vapor (W1) including ashes (ash, dust) generated instantaneously during the restoration process of charcoal is externally discharged through the steam discharge unit 30 Although the amount of water vapor (W1) is very limited, there is a risk that it may be discharged to the outside in a state containing ashes (ch).

In this case, there may be a risk of external contamination by the externally discharged water vapor (W1) and the ashes (ch) that may have been included therein.

Meanwhile, during the work process, a large amount of water vapor W1 may be momentarily discharged through the vapor discharge unit 30 at once, so that the operator may be momentarily surprised or blinded.

In order to prevent this, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 17, the structure of the steam discharge unit is more stably presented in another embodiment, and a charcoal cleaner device is presented.

11 to 17 , as shown, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention comprises a main body 10 , a fire extinguishing unit 20 , and a steam discharge unit 300 .

Schematically, the main body 10 constituting the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention has an inner space (S) in the shape of a sealed enclosure, has a plurality of through holes (12a) inside, and burns charcoal in the mounted portion (12) located (C) is settled.

Then, the fire extinguishing unit 20 sprays water (W) on the burning charcoal (C) located inside the body according to the control of the setting to instantly form a water film (W2, see FIG. 1) on the burning charcoal (C) to release oxygen Extinguish the fire by shutting it off.

At this time, the ashes (ch, dust) attached to the charcoal (C) burned by the water (W) sprayed from the fire extinguishing unit 20 increases in specific gravity together with the water and is separated and removed below the body 10. .

And the water W including the ashes ch passes through the mounting part 12 and is collected in the fresh water part 13 formed under the mounting part 12 of the main body 10 .

On the other hand, the steam discharge unit 300 serves to discharge a large amount of water vapor (W1) instantaneously generated on the inner space (S) of the body 10 to the outside in the process of extinguishing the fire by the fire extinguishing unit 20 . .

This large amount of water vapor (W1) is naturally discharged through the steam discharge unit 300 by the instantaneous expansion force (see Fig. 11), or through forced air flow through a device such as an air compressor (Fig. 15). see) can of course be.

However, when the instantaneously large amount of water vapor W1 is naturally discharged to the outside using only its expansion force, the large amount of water vapor W1 cannot all be discharged to the outside and stays in the internal space S of the body 10, and accordingly Water vapor (W1) staying in the inner space (S) wets the charcoal (C) with the fire turned off, and the charcoal (C) does not dry out and becomes wet. Accordingly, in order to restore-reuse the charcoal, it may be necessary to take out the wet charcoal and go through a process of drying it again.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the steam discharging unit 300 includes an air compressor 340 (FIG. 4) for generating an air flow to forcibly suction and induce the steam W1 generated in a large amount instantaneously to be discharged. The structure is presented as the most preferred embodiment.

As the water vapor W1 generated in the internal space S of the body 10 is discharged to the outside through the steam discharge unit 300 in this way, the charcoal (C) that is turned off does not become wet and becomes dry, and this charcoal is immediately re- become reusable.

And, the setting operation of the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention is performed according to the control signal of the controller 40 provided on one side, and it is of course that it can be automatically performed or manually operated according to the pattern of the previously stored settings. .

In one embodiment, the controller 40 is shown to be provided on the upper cover portion 11 of the main body 10, but is not limited thereto. Of course, you can control the operation.

As described above, in the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention, the process of extinguishing the fire of burning charcoal (C) inside the sealed body 10, the process of removing and removing the ashes (ch), and the generated water vapor ( As the process of drying charcoal by discharging W1) to the outside proceeds simultaneously or sequentially in one space according to the control of the setting, the burned charcoal can be quickly restored to clean and dry charcoal and reused (Fig. 14) to Figure 15).

At this time, in the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to this embodiment, a large amount of water vapor (W1) instantaneously generated during the restoration process of charcoal is finally discharged to the outside before the ashes (ch) that may be contained in the water vapor. The biggest feature is that the steam discharge unit 300 is configured to completely separate and remove the water vapor from the water vapor, and then allow the water vapor to be discharged to the outside, and to prevent the instantaneous large amount of the water vapor discharged to the outside.

Referring to Figs. 12 to 17, the charcoal cleaner apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail as follows.

The charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention includes a body 10 having a cover part 11 in the shape of an enclosure in which burning charcoal is seated on one side of the internal space (S), and water ( The fire extinguishing unit 20 that sprays W) and the steam discharge unit 300 that communicates with one side of the inner space S of the main body 10 and discharges water vapor (W1) generated when the water is sprayed by the fire extinguisher 20 to the outside ) is provided.

At this time, the steam discharge unit 300 applied to an embodiment of the present invention is a tubular body 310 having a large internal space, and a guide partition wall dividing the internal space into a first flow path A1 and a second flow path A2. (320), and configured to include an air compressor (340) for inducing a flow by sucking the water vapor (W1) to be forcibly discharged to the outside.

In a preferred embodiment, the cylinder 310 of the steam discharging unit includes an internal discharge hole 17 formed on one side of the upper side of the inner space S of the main body 10 and a fresh water unit 13 formed in the lower portion of the main body 10 . ) communicates with the communication hole 18 formed on one side of the lower side, so that the steam and water generated during the restoration process of the body 10 and the charcoal (C) are free to move, and an external discharge hole 311 is provided on the outside that communicates with the outside. While forming, it has an inner space in the shape of an enclosure.

In other words, the cylinder 310 communicates with the internal discharge hole 17 formed in the inner space S of the main body 10 so that water vapor W1 generated during the charcoal restoration process passes through the internal discharge hole 17 . It flows in, communicates with the communication hole 18 formed in the freshwater part 13 on the lower side of the main body 10, and the stagnant water W in the freshwater part 13 passes through and collects in the lower part of the cylindrical body 310 and accumulates. , an external discharge hole 311 is provided on the outside so that the water vapor W1 escapes to the outside.

And, the guide partition wall 320 is a first passage (A1) in communication with the internal discharge hole 17 of the main body 10 and the first passage (A1) in communication with the inner space of the cylindrical body 310 as described above while communicating with the first passage (A1). It is divided by the second flow path A2 communicating with the external discharge hole 311 , and has a plate shape extending downward from the bottom surface of the upper plate of the cylindrical body 310 .

At this time, the lower end 321 of the guide bulkhead 320 is to have a gap (d) between the water surface and the setting of the water (W) collected in the lower part of the tubular body 310 (see Fig. 16).

And, the air compressor 340 is located on the upper side of the outside or inside of the cylindrical body 310, but is located above the internal discharge hole 17 and sucked air through the external intake port 312 downward. A strong air flow is formed while forcibly guiding the air flow of the above-mentioned first flow path A1 downward.

Accordingly, when a large amount of water vapor (W1) is generated inside the main body 10 according to the operation of the fire extinguishing unit 20, the air compressor 340 of the steam discharge unit 300 is controlled according to the operation of the fire extinguishing unit 20 and To work together, the air flow of the first flow path (A1) in the steam outlet cylinder 310 forms a strong air flow downward.

On the other hand, the first flow path A1 communicates with the internal discharge hole 17, and the strong air flow formed in the first flow path A1 according to the forced air flow by the air compressor 340 communicates with the main body 10. The air in the inner space (S) is sucked, and a large amount of generated water vapor (W1) is sucked into the first flow path (A1) side.

Then, the water vapor W1, which is sucked into the first flow path A1 according to the strong air flow and induced downward, is introduced through the communication hole 18 in the lower part of the cylinder 310 and forcibly collides with the collected water W. do. At this time, the ashes (ch) contained in the water vapor (W1) collide with the water (W) and are captured by the water molecules and are completely separated from the water vapor and removed.

Then, the water vapor W1 from which the ashes ch are completely removed passes through the space (passage) formed by the gap d between the lower end 321 of the guide partition wall 310 and the water surface, and the second flow path A2 ) and ascends, and is finally discharged to the outside through the external discharge hole 311.

During the discharge process of water vapor, a large amount of water vapor (W1) generated in the process of restoring the charcoal collides with water in the vapor discharge unit 300 communicating with the fresh water unit 13 before being completely discharged to the outside, so that some of the water molecules Since it is captured and condensed and included in the water in the steam discharge part, the instantaneous large amount of water vapor W1 that is finally discharged to the outside is prevented.

In other words, since a large amount of water vapor finally discharged to the outside is not discharged at once, safety accidents such as blocking the operator's view can be prevented in advance.

To this end, the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention has a tubular body 310 of the fresh water part 13 and the steam discharge part 300 of the main body 10 in addition to the water W according to the water spray of the fire extinguishing part 20 arbitrarily in advance. ) You can put a set amount of water (W) in the lower part.

On the other hand, the vapor discharge unit 300 of the present invention further includes a guide plate 330 extending downwardly inclined toward the guide partition wall 320 on the upper portion of the inner discharge hole 17 .

This guide plate 330 prevents the strong air flow formed by the air compressor 340 in the first flow path A1 from flowing into the internal space S of the body 10 through the internal discharge hole 17 (reverse flow prevention). ) as well as serves to guide the air flow of the water vapor W1 exiting through the internal discharge hole 17 downward.

On the other hand, when the lower end 321 of the guide bulkhead of the vapor discharge unit 300 and the water surface contact or the lower end of the guide bulkhead 320 is submerged in the water W, the stagnant water becomes one barrier wall and the first flow path ( A1) and the second flow path A2 may be blocked. In this case, it may not be possible to smoothly discharge the water vapor W1.

In order to prevent this, preferably, the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention is a water level sensor that checks the water level of the water W contained in the lower portion to one side of the fresh water unit 13 or the steam discharge unit 300 of the main body 10 . (60) is further included.

According to the use of the charcoal cleaner device 1 of the present invention, the amount of water (W) collected in the lower part of the fresh water unit 13 and the steam discharge unit 300 increases. At this time, the water level sensor 60 detects the amount of water (W) collected at the lower portion so that the water surface does not come into contact with the lower end of the vapor discharge part guide bulkhead 320 .

In other words, when the water fills up to more than the set height, the water level sensor 60 sends a signal to the controller of the controller 40 to notify that the water is full and to discharge the water to the outside through manual or automatic operation.

In one embodiment, the water W may be automatically discharged through the drain hole 13a according to a control signal based on the measured value of the water level sensor 60 .

In another embodiment, according to a control signal based on the measured value of the water level sensor 60, the operator may remove the drain stopper 13b of the drain hole 13a to discharge the water W to the outside.

Of course, the above-described drain hole 13a may be connected to a separate drain line (not shown) if necessary.

As described above, the charcoal cleaner device 1 according to the present invention forms an instantaneous water film W2 on burning charcoal and blocks oxygen to remove fire and quickly restores the charcoal so that it can be reused, and at the same time, the charcoal ash (ch), which may have been contained in a large amount of water vapor (W1) generated during the restoration process of By doing so, it is trapped by water molecules and can be completely removed from the water vapor to remove it.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor (W1) generated at the same time collides with water in the vapor discharge unit 300 communicating with the fresh water unit 13 before being completely discharged to the outside, so that some of it is captured by water molecules and condensed, and is condensed into the water in the steam discharge unit. By being included, it is possible to prevent the instantaneous large amount of water vapor that is finally discharged to the outside.

Meanwhile, reference numeral 45, which is not described above, denotes a control unit of the controller 40 including a PCB, and reference numeral 43a denotes a manual operation button. Further, reference numeral 25 denotes a filter, and reference numeral 22 denotes an electromagnetic or passive valve body.
