Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for Cleaning of surfaces, in particular of floor surfaces, according to Preamble of the independent claims 1 and 5.
  • the powered cleaning tool usually a rotating brush, causes an intense mechanical processing of the surface to be cleaned.
  • Cleaning media become steam and / or liquid detergents used.
  • a floor cleaning device which has an effect on the floor surface to be cleaned Cleaning tool and a steam generator, wherein from one or more against the ground surface and / or against the cleaning tool directed outlets expelled steam is.
  • the cleaning tool is flowed through by the steam. Additionally, it can be connected via a separate line or via a separate line Drain a cleaning fluid on the floor surface be applied.
  • a disadvantage of the known methods or devices exists in that they are constructively too complex and too bulky, because all the components on the frame of the mobile cleaning device are arranged. This causes that difficult too cleansing sites, e.g. under steps, benches or barriers alone because of the overall height are not accessible. In addition, the cleaning effect is at heavy soiling such as stuck or glued chewing gum rather poor. This is related to that steam and any cleaning agents do not work can fully develop.
  • the cleaning device itself can be a minimum Have height.
  • the cleaning device is also still there much easier to handle.
  • the dosage of the detergent in the steam has several advantages.
  • the detergent is made by mixing with the steam Evidently, it itself strongly heated or partially evaporated, whereby the cleaning effect is greatly increased. The number the necessary supply lines in the area of the cleaning tool is reduced. If the dosing of the cleaning agent on the steam generator, is also the cleaning device of additional components, e.g. Detergent tank, Pump, metering valve, etc. relieved. Finally causes the application of the mixture of steam and cleaning agent at least directly in the working area of the cleaning tool a concentrated and intense exposure to temperature, detergent and mechanical forces on the dirt.
  • the cleaning tool is an annular Brush, which is driven by a gear and the rotated about an axis approximately at right angles to the surface, wherein the mixture of steam and detergent in the center of the brush is supplied.
  • the mixture can while the brush side However, it will essentially flow inside the brush concentrated on the floor surface.
  • the brush is designed as a roller, the rotated about an axis horizontal to the surface. Even linearly movable or vibrating brushes would be as cleaning tools conceivable.
  • the cleaning effect can also to be improved when the mixture of steam and detergent additionally directly next to the working area of the cleaning tool is directed against the surface.
  • the cleaning tool is that way at least in a particular section surrounded on both sides by the mixture, bringing also increases the exposure time to the polluted areas.
  • the mixture of steam and Cleaning agent when ejecting against the surface preferably a temperature of at least 110 ° to 140 ° Celsius.
  • a temperature of at least 110 ° to 140 ° Celsius is the way of the mixture or the length of the flexible hose line must be taken into account.

  • the Boom is mobile and runs approximately horizontally and if that Cleaning tool mounted rotatably drivable under the boom is.
  • the mobile boom could also be used as a lance be formed with a handle, wherein the cleaning tool, in particular a brush, fixedly arranged at one end of the lance is.
  • the brush could also by means of electric motor and be driven by a gear transmission.
  • the scope of application of the device can still be improved if above the boom, approximately in the area of the axis of rotation of Brush a connection piece for connecting the supply line is arranged and if on the connecting piece an additional outlet is preferably releasably attached, over the cleaning medium
  • a connection piece for connecting the supply line is arranged and if on the connecting piece an additional outlet is preferably releasably attached, over the cleaning medium
  • immediately next to the brush can be ejected.
  • the detachable arrangement of the additional outlet allows this as an additional module must be mounted only if it required by the cleaning action.
  • the effect of Additional outlet can be further improved if he is mounted so pivotable about an axis that it is around a Range of preferably 180 ° pivotable about the end of the boom is. For example, if you want a floor area along a step be cleaned, the additional outlet is on the stage turned away side away. The cleaning effect is thereby Nevertheless, improved without the beauus the driving along of the tool at the stage obst
  • the additional outlet can also be a nozzle tube with individual nozzle openings have, which extends over a sector around the outer circumference the brush extends curved. This way will the cleaning medium always directly on the outer circumference of the brush applied or distributed.
  • the additional outlet or the nozzle tube is preferably in one certain operating position lockable. This way you can be exactly determined on which side of the cleaning tool in addition mixture should be ejected.
