TRAY CLEANING DEVICE

To provide a tray cleaning device which can automatically clean multiple trays stacked.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a tray cleaning device capable of automatically cleaning trays T each having a bottom plate portion T1 for placing articles and a wall part T2 obliquely erected from an edge of the bottom plate portion T1 to the outer side. The tray cleaning device includes: a tray receiving port where the trays T can be stacked upside down; and a tray cleaning chamber through which the trays T entered from the tray receiving port pass. The tray receiving port has: a fixed support part which supports the tray T placed on the tray receiving port; and a movable support part which contacts with an upper end of the wall part T2 in a position different from that of the fixed support part to support the tray T with a columnar bar 13 which is driven rotationally around a center axis by power of a motor. The bar 13 has: an outer peripheral surface 14 which the upper end of the wall part T2 slidably contacts when the bar 13 is rotationally driven; and a recessed part 15 which is formed on the outer peripheral surface 14 and which the upper end of the wall part T2 may enter.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】積み重なった複数枚のトレイを自動洗浄可能なトレイ洗浄装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、物品載置用の底板部分Ｔ１と、底板部分Ｔ１の縁から外側へ斜めに立設される壁部Ｔ２とを有するトレイＴを自動洗浄可能なトレイ洗浄装置であって、トレイＴを上下逆向きの状態で積み重ね可能なトレイ受入口と、トレイ受入口から入ったトレイＴが通過するトレイ洗浄室と、を備え、トレイ受入口は、トレイ受入口に置かれるトレイＴを支持する固定支持部と、固定支持部とは異なる位置において壁部Ｔ２の上端に接触することにより、モータの動力で中心軸周りに回転駆動される円柱状の棒材１３でトレイＴを支持する可動支持部と、を有し、棒材１３は、回転駆動されている状態において壁部Ｔ２の上端が摺動する外周面１４と、外周面１４に形成されており、壁部Ｔ２の上端が進入可能な凹部１５と、を有する。【選択図】図７
