Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum dosierten Ausbringen von Reinigungspulver und Einarbeiten des Pulvers in einen zu behandelnden Teppich oder dergleichen. Sie betrifft ferner eine Vorrichtung zum Durchführen des Verfahrens unter Verwendung einer Einscheibenmaschine mit einer um eine zu der zu behandelnden Fläche etwa parallele Achse zu schwenkenden Deichsel mit Betätigungsgriff.The invention relates to a method for the metered application of cleaning powder and incorporation of the powder into a carpet or the like to be treated. It also relates to a device for carrying out the method using a single-disc machine with a tiller with an actuating handle to be pivoted about an axis approximately parallel to the surface to be treated.

Im Gebäudereinigungshandwerk werden zum Durchführen vieler Arbeiten Einscheibenmaschinen mit kreisförmiger, um eine im wesentlichen vertikale Achse zu rotierender Bürste eingesetzt. Diese Maschinen arbeiten mit einer Reinigungslösung. Beim Schrubben kann die Lösung aus einem mitgeführten Laugentank über einen Abflußschlauch durch das Zentrum der rotierenden Bürste hindurch auf die zu behandelnde Fläche fließen.In the building cleaning trade, single-disc machines with circular brushes, which can be rotated about a substantially vertical axis, are used to carry out many jobs. These machines work with a cleaning solution. When scrubbing, the solution can flow from a lye tank carried over a drain hose through the center of the rotating brush onto the surface to be treated.

Zum Reinigen von Teppichen, wie festverlegten textilen Fußbodenbelägen oder dergleichen, finden neben Naßbereinigungsverfahren, bei denen shampooniert bzw. sprühextrahiert wird, trockene Reinigungsverfahren Anwendung. Hierbei werden u.a. feuchte Pulver eingesetzt. Diese Reinigungspulver werden mit der Hand, mit Hilfe einer Schaufel oder unter Verwendung besonders konßtruierter Streugeräte auf der zu behandelnden Fläche verteilt.For cleaning carpets, such as permanently installed textile floor coverings or the like, dry cleaning processes are used in addition to wet cleaning processes in which shampooing or spray extraction is used. Among other things, wet powder used. These cleaning powders are spread over the surface to be treated by hand, using a shovel or using specially designed spreading devices.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Reinigen von Teppichen oder dergleichen und eine Vorrichtung zum Durchführen des Verfahrens zu schaffen, mit deren Hilfe ein Reinigungspulver dosiert auf die zu reinigende Fläche aufzubringen und unverzüglich in den Teppich einzuarbeiten ist. Für das eingangs genannte Verfahren zum dosierten Ausbringen von Reinigungspulver und Einarbeiten des Pulvers in einen Teppich besteht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung darin, daß in Bezug auf die zu Behandelnde Fläche eine etwa senkrechte Achse zur rotierenden Bürste aufweisende Einscheibenmaschine zum Einarbeiten des Pulvers verwendet wird und daß das Pulver während des Betriebs der Maschine aus einem seitlich der Bürste mündenden Dosierrohr gesteuert auf den Teppich aufgebracht wird. Vorzugsweise wird das Pulver in einem unabhängig von der Maschinenstellung von der Bedienungsperson bequem einzusehenden Bereich neben der Bürste auf den Teppich aufgebracht.The invention has for its object a method for cleaning carpets or the like and a front to create direction for performing the method, with the help of a cleaning powder dosed on the surface to be cleaned and immediately incorporated into the carpet. For the above-mentioned method for the metered application of cleaning powder and incorporation of the powder into a carpet, the solution according to the invention is that a single-disc machine with an approximately vertical axis to the rotating brush is used to incorporate the powder with respect to the surface to be treated and that the powder is applied to the carpet in a controlled manner from a metering tube opening to the side of the brush during operation of the machine. The powder is preferably applied to the carpet next to the brush in an area that is easy for the operator to see regardless of the machine position.

Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, daß die Bedienungsperson stets die für den gewünschten Reinigungseffekt erforderliche Menge an Reinigungspulver auf den Teppich aufdosieren kann. Sie kann das Dosierergebnis mit dem Auge beobachten und entsprechend steuern. Da das Reinigungspulver unmittelbar neben der Bürste, d.h. außerhalb der Peripherie einer kreisringförmigen Bürste, auf den Teppich aufzubringen ist, kann sofort nach dem Ausbringen des Pulvers das Einarbeiten erfolgen. Ein im Pulver enthaltendes organisches Reinigungsmittel als Reinigungskomponente kann daher - im Gegensatz zum Fall bei den bisher üblichen Verfahren zum Ausbringen des Pulvers - in nennenswerter Menge nicht entweichen bzw. verdampfen. Durch die Erfindung wird auch erreicht, daß stärkere Verschmutzungen oder Flecken gezielt und ohne Unterbrechung der Arbeit zu behandeln sind, in dem die fraglichen Bereiche des Teppichs durch Nachdosieren und Einarbeiten von zusätzlichem Reinigungsmittel gesondert behandelt werden.The invention ensures that the operator can always dose the amount of cleaning powder required for the desired cleaning effect onto the carpet. She can observe the dosing result with the eye and control it accordingly. Since the cleaning powder is to be applied to the carpet immediately next to the brush, ie outside the periphery of an annular brush, it can be worked in immediately after the powder has been applied. An organic cleaning agent contained in the powder as a cleaning component can therefore - in contrast to the case with the previously customary methods for applying the powder - not escape or evaporate in any significant amount. It is also achieved by the invention that heavy soiling or stains are to be treated in a targeted manner and without interrupting work, in which the areas of the carpet in question are treated Subsequent dosing and incorporation of additional cleaning agents are treated separately.

Gemäß weiterer Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zum Durchführen des Verfahrens, in der eine Einscheibenmaschine mit einer um eine zu der zu behandelnden Fläche etwa parallele Achse zu schwenkende Deichsel mit Betätigungsgriff verwendet wird, gekennzeichnet durch einen an der Deichsel befestigten Pulvervorratsbehälter mit Bodenöffnung und daran angeschlossenem, neben der bei Betrieb rotierenden Bürste der Einscheibenmaschine mündenden Dosierrohr mit vom Betätigungsgriff aus zu steuerndem Dosierventil. Vorzugsweise soll das außerhalb der Bürstenperipherie mündende Pulverdosierrohr außer mit dem Vorratsbehälter nur mit der Deichsel gekoppelt sein, damit das Dosierrohr ebenso wie der Vorratsbehälter die Betriebsbewegungen der Deichsel mitmacht und die Handhabung der Maschine nicht stört.According to a further invention, a device for carrying out the method is used in which a single-disc machine with a tiller with an actuating handle to be pivoted about an axis approximately parallel to the surface to be treated is characterized by a powder storage container with a bottom opening attached to the tiller and connected to it next to it the metering tube that opens during operation of the rotating disc of the single-disc machine with a metering valve that can be controlled from the operating handle. Preferably, the powder metering tube opening outside the brush periphery should only be coupled to the drawbar in addition to the storage container, so that the metering tube, like the storage container, participates in the operating movements of the drawbar and does not interfere with the handling of the machine.

Der an das Dosierrohr angrenzende Boden des Pulvervorratsbehälters soll konisch in Richtung auf das Dosierrohr geneigt sein, um eine vollständige Pulverentleerung zu ermöglichen. Es ist ferner günstig, ein gut rieselfähiges, trockenes, d.h. wenig klebendes, Reinigungspulver einzusetzen, um Hemmungen im Pulverfluß oder gar Verstopfungen zu vermeiden.The bottom of the powder storage container adjoining the metering tube should be inclined conically in the direction of the metering tube in order to enable complete powder emptying. It is also favorable to have a free-flowing, dry, i.e. use less sticky, cleaning powder to avoid inhibitions in the powder flow or even blockages.

Das Dosierventil soll vorzugsweise als eine gegen eine Federvorspannung zu öffnende Klappe an der Mündung des Dosierrohrs ausgebildet werden. Eine solche Klappe läßt sich problemlos handhaben, wenn sie über einen zum Betätigungsgriff der Deichsel der Einscheibenmaschine geführten Bowdenzug oder dergleichen zu öffnen bzw. zu schliessen ist.The metering valve should preferably be designed as a flap at the mouth of the metering tube that can be opened against a spring preload. Such a flap can be easily handled if it is to be opened or closed via a Bowden cable or the like which is guided to the operating handle of the drawbar of the single-disc machine.

Zu der Einscheibenmaschine nach Fig. 1 gehören das eigentliche, insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Maschinenaggregat mit Motor 2 und (bei Betrieb rotierender) Bürste 3 und eine insgesamt mit 4 bezeichnete Deichsel mit Betätigungsgriff 5. Die Deichsel 4 wird an einer etwa parallel zur zu behandelnden Fläche angeordneten Achse 6 in Lagern 7 am Maschinenaggregat 1 befestigt. Die Bürste 3 rotiert bei Betrieb um eine etwa senkrecht zur zu behandelnden Fläche stehende Achse 8.1 includes the actual machine assembly, designated overall by 1, with motor 2 and (rotating during operation) brush 3 and a drawbar, designated overall by 4, with actuating handle 5. The tiller 4 is located on an approximately parallel to the surface to be treated arranged axis 6 in bearings 7 attached to the machine unit 1. During operation, the brush 3 rotates about an axis 8 which is approximately perpendicular to the surface to be treated.

Die erfindungsgemäße, insgesamt mit 9 bezeichnete Pulverdosiervorrichtung besteht nach Fig. 1 und 2 im wesentlichen aus einem Vorratsbehälter 10 und einem Dosierrohr 11. Der Vorratsbehälter 10 besitzt eine Einfüllöffnung 12 und eine Auslauföffnung 13. Der Boden 14 des Vorratsbehälters 10 ist in Richtung auf die Auslauföffnung 13 konisch nach unten geneigt. An die Auslauföffnung 13 schließt sich das Dosierrohr 11 an. Dieses wird außer mit dem Vorratsbehälter 10 nur mit der Deichsel 4, vorzugsweise über eine Verbindung 15, (Fig. 1) fest verbunden. Das Dosierrohr 11 wird so angeordnet, daß es seitlich neben der rotierenden Bürste 3 mit Abstand von der zu reinigenden Fläche mündet. Eine Anordnung, bei der das Reinigungspulver links neben der rotierenden Bürste 3 im Abstand von ca. 5 cm auf die zu behandelnde Fläche rieselt, hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen.The powder dosing device according to the invention, designated overall by 9, according to FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially consists of a storage container 10 and a dosing tube 11. The storage container 10 has a filling opening 12 and an outlet opening 13. The bottom 14 of the storage container 10 is in the direction of the outlet opening 13 tapered downwards. The metering tube 11 connects to the outlet opening 13. Apart from the reservoir 10, this is only permanently connected to the drawbar 4, preferably via a connection 15 (FIG. 1). The metering tube 11 is arranged so that it opens laterally next to the rotating brush 3 at a distance from the surface to be cleaned. An arrangement in which the cleaning powder to the left of the rotating brush 3 at a distance of about 5 cm on the The area to be treated trickles, has proven to be advantageous.

Das Reinigungspulver läßt sich dosiert bzw. gesteuert aus dem Vorratsbehälter 10 auf die zu behandelnde Fläche aufbringen, wenn an einer Stelle zwischen Auslauföffnung 13 des Vorratsbehälter 10 und Mündung 16 des Dosierrohrs 11 ein Dosierventil vorgesehen wird. Im Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das Dosierventil aus einer gegen eine Federvorspannung zu öffnenden Klappe 17, deren Verschlußfeder 18 mit Hilfe eines vom Betätigungsgriff 5 aus zu handhabenden Bowdenzugs 19, dessen Hebel mit 20 bezeichnet wird, zu spannen und zu entspannen ist.The cleaning powder can be applied in a metered or controlled manner from the storage container 10 to the surface to be treated if a metering valve is provided at a point between the outlet opening 13 of the storage container 10 and the mouth 16 of the metering tube 11. In the exemplary embodiment, the metering valve consists of a flap 17 which can be opened against a spring preload, the closing spring 18 of which can be tensioned and relaxed with the aid of a Bowden cable 19 to be handled by the actuating handle 5, the lever of which is designated 20.

Durch die Erfindung wird es möglich, eine zum Betrieb mit flüssigen Reinigungsmitteln konzipierte Einscheibenmaschinen-Konstruktion so umzugestalten, daß eine zum Ausbringen und Einarbeiten von gut rieselfähigem Reinigungspulver für das Behandeln von textilen Fußbodenbelägen oder dergleichen geeignete Maschine entsteht.
