Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/073431
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a cleansing device, a system for cleansing a spherical body, and a method for cleansing a spherical body, which enable uniform cleansing of the surface of a spherical body. The system for cleansing a spherical body is provided with a cleansing device for cleansing a spherical body. This cleansing device includes a first member (11) having a first surface (11a) and a second member (20) having a second surface (20a) that is disposed to face the first surface (11a). The first surface (11a) and the second surface (20a) are holding surfaces for holding the spherical body therebetween. The first surface (11a) and the second surface are configured to be rotatable relative to each other. This cleansing device further includes: a loading part (12) for receiving loading of a spherical body in a space between the first surface (11a) and the second surface (20a); and a discharge part (13) for discharging the spherical body from the abovementioned space. Either the first surface (11a) or the second surface (20a) is provided with a helical channel (15) for guiding the spherical body from the loading part (12) to the discharge part (14).
