Abstract
An automatic cleaner for a pressing device has a pressing unit that can reciprocate between a pressing position and an apart position. The automatic cleaner includes a separating structure configured to separate a workpiece from the pressing unit; a cleaning member; and a drive mechanism configured to move the separating structure and the cleaning member back and forth, in accordance with movement of the pressing unit. The drive mechanism is configured to make the separating structure drop the workpiece, after being worked, from the pressing unit, and to make the cleaning member clean the pressing unit, in accordance with the movement of the pressing unit.

An automatic cleaner for a pressing device having a pressing unit that can reciprocate between a pressing position for pressing a workpiece and an apart position apart from the pressing position, the automatic cleaner comprising:
- a separating structure configured to separate the workpiece from the pressing unit;
- a cleaning member;
- and
- a drive mechanism configured to move the separating structure and the cleaning member back and forth, relative to the pressing unit, in accordance with movement of the pressing unit, wherein
- the drive mechanism is configured to make the separating structure drop the workpiece, after being worked, from the pressing unit, and to make the cleaning member clean the pressing unit, in accordance with the movement of the pressing unit,
- wherein
- the drive mechanism includes:
- a biasing member;
- and
- a movable member biased by the biasing member toward the pressing unit, the movable member being moved back and forth, relative to the pressing unit, in accordance with the movement of the pressing unit,
- the pressing unit includes a pressing unit side inclined surface that is inclined with respect to a direction of the reciprocating movement of the pressing unit, and
- by sliding the pressing unit side inclined surface and a part of the movable member on each other, in accordance with the movement of the pressing unit, the movable member is moved back and forth relative to the pressing unit.
