Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the device with the sheet that can be used to clean floor or other hard surface.More specifically, the present invention relates to the device that this type of has the sheet that can be attached removedly.
Background technology
It is well known in the art for carrying out clean to hard surface such as floor (vinyl flooring, malthoid floor, face brick floor, concrete floor), work top, shower set etc.Cellulose paper handkerchief and non-woven sheets can be used to realize cleaning, as known in the art.Non-woven sheets can according to the common US6 transferred the possession of, and 936,330 and/or 6,797,357 make.Cellulose paper handkerchief can according to the common US4 transferred the possession of, and 191,609 and/or 4,637,859 make.
This such sheets is attached to hand-operated tools removedly.These instruments add the scope of touching, and improve ergonomics performance.Such as, when the hard surface that will clean is floor, this instrument allows user to clean with stance, thus with carry out cleansing phase ratio with crouching appearance or kneeling position and improve comfort level.Hand-operated tools can according to the common US2012/0096662 transferred the possession of; 6,305,046 and/or D588,770 make.
The problem run into when clean floor is, user may run into the dirt that is clamminess being tending towards being adhered to floor, and/or runs into the multiple minute dirt such as dust, particular pollutant, dehydrated food chip, plant, the earth etc. that are tending towards not too being adhered to floor.In order to improve the cleaning effect to solvable spot and the spot that is clamminess, wetting floor slice and wettable floor slice are employed.The floor slice of pre-wet comprises those with APG polymer, as the US6 jointly transferred the possession of, and 716, disclosed in 805.Wettable floor slice has been used to the SwifferWetJet of commercially available acquisition
(R)device.Clean solution sprays to floor from replaceable reservoir by this device, as the US8 jointly transferred the possession of, and 186, described in 898.Clean solution chemical substance and reservoir thereof can according to the common US6 transferred the possession of, and 386,392 make.The floor slice absorbing clean solution from floor can according to the common US5 transferred the possession of, and 960,508,6,101,661 and/or 7,144,173 make.
But these attempt not being the dirt always sufficiently cleaning the gamut run into from floor, especially large particle, such as cereal and clod.In order to solve loose oarse-grained cleaning problems, make use of rotatable hired roughneck's dust removing bar, as disclosed in following patent: the US9 that on June 28th, 1881 announces again, 783; Announce on September 30th, 1884 306,008; Announce on October 27th, 1885 329,257; Announce on April 7th, 1987 4,654,927; Announce on November 14th, 2006 7,134,161.Hired roughneck's dust removing bar in these instruction contents is all by wheel drive.Specifically, each in these bibliography all proposes and contacts the multiple of floor that will clean and take turns.These wheel drive hired roughneck dust removing bar, thus eliminate the needs to self-contained power motor.Electro-motor increases cost and the weight of device.Also Schizoid hired roughneck dust removing bar has been employed, as 2005/0055792 and 7,134, shown in 161.
Many mechanical sweeper devices use the hired roughneck's dust removing bar comprising nylon brush hair.Bristle also can be used on carpet, and on carpet, bristle can help loose hair.Bristle may be easy to the winding being subject to hair/velveteen/silk thread, and this may deteriorate performance.Because mechanical sweeper device relies on momentum to pick up, therefore the cleaning capacity of contaminated bristle reduces.In addition, bristle may be separated, thus needs higher rotary speed to reduce bristle separation, and minimizes the particle through bristle.Therefore, some hired roughneck's dust removing bars use fin or blade.
Electric device can have hired roughneck's dust removing bar, its battery-powered or by AC line powering with help pick up dirt.These devices have higher rotary speed than mechanically operated hired roughneck's dust removing bar and may be more effective in pickup particle.If but battery life exhausts or power line curtailment, then electric device may be not too convenient.
Also disposable device of helping carry out cleaning is used to be that people are known, as EP1027855; US2009/0077761; US7,013,528; US7,346,428 and the common US7 transferred the possession of, 676, shown in 877.Described disposable can be attached to the instrument using clamper, as the patent application 13/947 of the common transfer that on July 22nd, 2013 submits to, described in 501.
Exemplary 2009/0077761 shows the common arrangement with the sheet being attached to bottom of device.US7,013,528 propose a kind of floor cleaning equipment, and it has sheet wrappage from dust removing cloth panel to the top of base assembly.But this arrangement may be inconvenient for the personnel installing and remove described, because described panel and base assembly move independently of one another.US7,346,428 require that whole is wrapped up dedusting pad 40, to tackle engagement member 76.This arrangement may be inconvenient because all four turnings of described all at internal attachment to dedusting pad 40.The engagement member 76 being adjacent to hinge may be difficult to touch.The removable cloth holder support member 53 of EP1027855 with two fins 55 has increased the weight of this instruction.Owing to can remove from head, support member 53 may be positioned incorrectly or ressemble improperly and put in place.In addition, this arrangement does not allow cleaning foil to wrap up the leading edge of head or back edge to clean against wall/sole.7,676,877 of common transfer proposes that a kind of have can the burnisher of pivotable diapire 455, and clean substrate can be attached to described diapire.This arrangement have be positioned at completely in bottom of device can pivot wall, thus may inconvenient use the common clamper of corner to carry out attaching piece as is common in the art.
In addition, it floor is also worthless for allowing the edge of cleaning foil be located immediately at.If the edge of cleaning foil does not wrap up described device, then may there is the snowplow phenomenon of chip and/or the disengaging of described.
Obviously, a kind of better method is needed.
