[0050] In an embodiment, the cleaning liquid may be repeatedly reused while circulating through the water reservoir 50 and the filter device 70 by the pump 60. In this case, the number of repeated uses of the cleaning liquid may be determined depending on the type and shape of a glue part. For example, when a drum-shaped object to be cleaned 100 is cleaned, the cleaning liquid may be reused approximately 100 times.
[0051]
[0052] In an embodiment, the water reservoir 50 may be formed on the bottom of the cleaning tank 30. The water reservoir 50 may store the cleaning liquid supplied to the cleaning module 42. The heater 80 may be disposed in an inner space of the water reservoir 50. The heater 80 may be an electrically operated heater. The heater 80 may heat the cleaning liquid. The heater 80 may further include a temperature sensor (not shown), and the temperature sensor may detect the temperature of the cleaning liquid inside the water reservoir 50 to ensure a constant temperature is maintained. In an embodiment, the water reservoir 50 may be partitioned from other components (e.g., the pump 60, the filter device 70, etc.) of the high-pressure cleaning device 1. Since the water reservoir 50 is a space for storing a cleaning liquid, it is desirable that electronic components sensitive to water or foreign substances are placed away from the water reservoir 50. In an embodiment, the cleaning liquid sprayed by the cleaning module 44 may clean the object to be cleaned 100, and the contaminated cleaning liquid resulting from cleaning the object to be cleaned 100 may be returned to the water reservoir 50. The contaminated cleaning liquid in the water reservoir 50 may be moved to the filter device 70 and filtered.

[0056] In an embodiment, the rotating disk 422 may be in fluid communication with the cleaning liquid supply pipe 421 and may include a circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning liquid supply pipe 421. For example, the rotating disk 422 may include a first surface 422a in contact with the cleaning liquid supply pipe 421, a second surface 422b formed on a side opposite to the first surface 422a, and a side surface 422c formed between the first surface 422a and the second surface 422b and formed to surround the edges of the first surface 422a and the second surface 422b. The rotating disk 422 may rotate on a plane perpendicular to the cleaning liquid supply pipe 421. The rotation shaft of the rotating disk 422 may be formed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning liquid supply pipe 421. The rotating disk 422 may include a space (e.g., the cleaning liquid receiving chamber 427 of

In another embodiment, the propulsion nozzle 426 may be formed in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating disk 422. The propulsion nozzle 426 may be formed on the side surface 422c of the rotating disk 422. As the cleaning liquid is discharged at high pressure through the propulsion nozzle 426, the action-reaction effect caused by the rotating propulsion nozzle 426, which is attached at a predetermined angle, exerts force on the rotating disk 422 in the direction (e.g., the direction of arrow R in
[0062] In an embodiment, the cleaning liquid receiving chamber 427 may be a space inside the rotating disk 422 to accommodate the cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid stored in the cleaning liquid receiving chamber 427 may be sprayed to the outside through the cleaning nozzle 425 or the propulsion nozzle 426.
[0063] At least a portion of the cleaning liquid sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 425 and the propulsion nozzle 426 of the first cleaning module 42 according to an embodiment may be sprayed toward the object to be cleaned 100. More particularly, the cleaning liquid sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 425 and the propulsion nozzle 426 of the first cleaning module 42 is sprayed toward a recess of the object to be cleaned 100, thereby intensively cleaning the internal recess of the object to be cleaned 100 contaminated with adhesives and the like.
