Abstract:
1. A deposit removing device for removing a deposit adhered to a plate-like member being conveyed in a conveying direction, the deposit removing device comprising: a nozzle body positioned to have an opposed surface facing the surface of a plate-like member being conveyed relative to the nozzle body in the conveying direction, wherein the nozzle body is supported so as to be movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surfaces of the plate-like member; a jetting port formed in the opposed surface of the nozzle body; a source of compressed gas connected to fluidically communicate with the jetting port, whereby compressed gas will be jetted from the jetting port to remove deposits adhered to the plate-like member; and a groove in the opposed surface of the nozzle body and crossing the position of the jetting port from downstream to upstream, and reaching the upstream edge of the opposed surface in the conveying direction, whereby the groove is oriented to guide the jetted compressed gas from the jetting port to the upstream side of the opposed surface, in the conveying direction of the plate-like member.
