Description

Sampling Bottle Washing Device The embodiment relates to a device for cleaning a sampling container that had contained toxic chemicals. Companies that handle chemicals harmful to the human body, such as those manufacturing semiconductors, LCDs, OLEDs, and pharmaceuticals, or those manufacturing chemicals like paint companies, use various types of chemicals in one or more unit processes. Generally, chemicals are supplied to a main storage tank via a tank truck, etc., and some of the chemicals stored in the main storage tank are divided and stored in multiple sub-storage tanks, so that they can be supplied sequentially to a single unit process or individually to multiple unit processes. As another example, if the chemical is in small quantities or cannot be supplied via tank trucks due to the characteristics of the chemical itself, it may be supplied directly to a sub-storage tank through drums, sampling bottles, etc. If chemicals are contaminated in tank trucks, drums, sampling containers, storage tanks, piping, etc., defects may occur in the unit processes receiving them. Therefore, chemical contamination levels need to be managed to an appropriate level at key locations such as tank trucks, drums, sampling containers, storage tanks, and pipelines; accordingly, chemicals at these key locations are sampled to inspect the degree of contamination. Sampling containers that have completed inspection can be washed and reused or disposed of. However, the current situation involves washing sampling containers manually, such as by a worker manually removing the lid of the sampling container containing residual chemicals, disposing of the residual chemicals, operating a washing water valve to wash and dry the inside and outside of the sampling container, and then closing the lid manually. There is a risk of human casualties due to chemical and fume leakage accidents during this cleaning process, and there is a problem of quality contamination issues that may occur during manual work.
