CLEANING DEVICE AND WORKPIECE CLEANING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device which can clean a surface to be cleaned of a workpiece easily and securely, and can suppress an increase in cost and complexity of maintenance.SOLUTION: A cleaning device cleans a surface to be cleaned of a workpiece, and is provided with a conveyance mechanism which conveys the workpiece in one direction, and a feed mechanism which feeds a cleaning cloth so as to clean the surface to be cleaned by contacting a part of the long cleaning cloth with the surface to be cleaned of the workpiece conveyed by the conveyance mechanism. One surface of the cleaning cloth contacts with the workpiece at at least two points in a conveyance direction of the workpiece to clean the surface to be cleaned of the workpiece. The cleaning device may include a cleaning liquid supply mechanism which supplies a cleaning liquid to the cleaning cloth between the two cleaning points. The cleaning liquid supply mechanism may supply the cleaning liquid from a surface on a side contacting with a cleaning surface of the cleaning cloth. The feed mechanism may feed the cleaning cloth in a direction opposite to the conveyance direction of the workpiece.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】本発明は、ワークの清掃面を容易かつ確実に清掃でき、コスト高及びメンテンナンスの複雑性を抑制可能な清掃装置を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】本発明に係る清掃装置は、ワークの清掃面を清掃する清掃装置であって、一方向に上記ワークを搬送する搬送機構、及び上記搬送機構によって搬送される上記ワークの清掃面に長尺状の清掃布の一部を接触させて上記清掃面を清掃すべく上記清掃布を送給する送給機構を備え、上記清掃布の一方の面が上記ワークの搬送方向における少なくとも二箇所において上記ワークに接触して上記ワークの清掃面を清掃することを特徴とする。当該清掃装置は、二箇所の清掃箇所の間で、清掃布に洗浄液を供給する洗浄液供給機構を備えるとよい。この洗浄液供給機構は、清掃布の清掃面に接触する側の面から洗浄液を供給するとよい。上記送給機構は、清掃布をワークの搬送方向と逆方向に送るとよい。【選択図】図３
