Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Feuchtwischers mit einem flächigen Halter, an dem ein Wischbezug angeordnet ist, mit einer Wascheinrichtung zum Waschen des am Halter angeordneten Wischbezugs, wobei Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit hoher Verschmutzung intensiver gewaschen werden als Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit geringer Verschmutzung, und wobei mit einer Vielzahl von Düsen eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit in Richtung quer zur Ebene des flächigen Halters ausgestoßen wird.The present invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning a wet mop with a flat holder on which a mop cover is arranged, with a washing device for washing the mop cover arranged on the holder, wherein portions of the mop cover are washed with high pollution more intense than portions of the mop cover with low pollution, and with a plurality of nozzles, a cleaning liquid is ejected in the direction transverse to the plane of the flat holder.

Ein solches Verfahren und eine solche Vorrichtung sind aus der EP 1 219 226 A1 sowie der EP 1 219 224 A1 bekannt.Such a method and such a device are known from EP 1 219 226 A1 as well as the EP 1 219 224 A1 known.

Aus der DE 100 65 371 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Feuchtwischers bekannt. An einem rechteckigen Halter ist an seiner Unterseite ein Wischbezug angeordnet, der durch eine Reinigungs- und Entfeuchtungseinrichtung bewegt wird. Die Reinigungs- und Entfeuchtungseinrichtung hat eine elektrisch angetriebene Pumpe, die Reinigungsflüssigkeit aus einem Behälter ansaugt und über eine Reihe von Düsen auf die Unterseite des Wischbezugs spritzt, um den Wischbezug zu befeuchten und zu reinigen. Nach dem Befeuchten und Reinigen des Wischbezugs wird der Halter zusammen mit dem Wischbezug zwischen zwei Rollen durchbewegt, die die Feuchtigkeit auf ein vorbestimmtes Maß auspressen. Die Rollen werden elektromotorisch angetrieben. Da die Vorrichtung als eine tragbare Einheit ausgebildet ist, werden die Stromverbraucher der Vorrichtung bevorzugt über einen eingebauten Akkumulator gespeist. Nachteilig an einer derartigen Anordnung ist, dass der Akkumulator aus Gewichts- und Kostengründen möglichst klein sein soll und damit nur eine zeitlich begrenzte Betriebsbereitschaft der Vorrichtung zur Verfügung stellt.From the DE 100 65 371 A1 a device for cleaning a wet mop is known. On a rectangular holder a mop cover is arranged on its underside, which is moved by a cleaning and dehumidifying device. The cleaning and dehumidifying device has an electrically driven pump, which sucks cleaning liquid from a container and injected via a series of nozzles on the underside of the mop cover to moisten the mop cover and clean. After wetting and cleaning the mop cover, the holder is moved together with the mop cover between two rollers, which squeeze the moisture to a predetermined level. The rollers are driven by an electric motor. Since the device is designed as a portable unit, the power consumers of the device are preferably fed via a built-in accumulator. A disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the accumulator for weight and cost reasons should be as small as possible and thus provides only a temporary operational readiness of the device.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Feuchtwischers zur Verfügung zu stellen, die ein gutes Reinigungsergebnis bei geringem Energieverbrauch zur Verfügung stellt.The object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for cleaning a wet mop, which provides a good cleaning result with low energy consumption.

Diese Aufgabe wird bezüglich des Verfahrens durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst und bezüglich der Vorrichtung durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 5 gelöst.This object is achieved with respect to the method by the features of claim 1 and solved with respect to the device by the features of claim 5.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Vielzahl von Düsen vorgesehen, mit denen eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit in Richtung quer zur Ebene des flächigen Halters auf den Wischbezug ausgestoßen wird, wobei eine Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, mit der die Düsen in ihrer Sprühleistung über die Steuerungseinrichtung individuell derart ansteuerbar sind, dass stärker verschmutzte Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit einem intensiveren Reinigungsstrahl beaufschlagt werden als Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit geringerer Verschmutzung.According to the invention, a plurality of nozzles is provided, with which a cleaning liquid is ejected in the direction transverse to the plane of the flat holder on the mop cover, wherein a control device is provided, with which the nozzles in their spray power via the control device are individually controlled so that more polluted Sections of the mop cover be subjected to a more intense cleaning jet as sections of mop cover with less pollution.

Indem Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit hoher Verschmutzung intensiver gewaschen werden als Abschnitte des Wischbezugs mit geringer Verschmutzung, kann insgesamt eine sehr gute Reinigung des Wischbezugs erreicht werden, wobei wenig Energie verbraucht wird. Das Verfahren bzw. die Vorrichtung kann somit bei Verwendung eines Akkumulators als Energiespeicher länger betrieben werden.By washing portions of the mop cover with high pollution more intensively than portions of the mop cover with low pollution, a very good overall cleaning of the mop cover can be achieved, with little energy consumed. The method or the device can thus be operated longer when using an accumulator as energy storage.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung wird der Randabschnitt des Wischbezugs intensiver gewaschen als der zentrale Abschnitt des Wischbezugs. Da der am Halter befestigte Feuchtwischer üblicherweise in den Randbereichen stärker verschmutzt als in den zentralen mittigen Abschnitten, kann durch die Anpassung der Reinigungsvorrichtung an den örtlichen Verschmutzungsgrad des Feuchtwischers Energie beim Reinigen des Feuchtwischers ökonomisch eingesetzt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the edge portion of the mop cover is washed more intensively than the central portion of the mop cover. Since the wet mop mounted on the holder usually dirty more in the edge regions than in the central central sections, energy can be used economically in cleaning the wet mop by adjusting the cleaning device to the local level of contamination of the wet mop.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist eine Bewegungseinrichtung vorgesehen, die den Feuchtwischer durch die Wascheinrichtung bewegt.In a preferred embodiment, a moving device is provided which moves the wet mop through the washing device.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung sind die Düsen in einer Reihe quer zur Bewegungsrichtung des Feuchtwischers durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung angeordnet, wobei eine Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, mit der die Düsen derart ansteuerbar sind, dass die Randabschnitte des Wischbezugs mit einem intensiveren Reinigungsstrahl beaufschlagt werden als der zentrale Abschnitt des Wischbezugs.In an advantageous embodiment, the nozzles are arranged in a row transversely to the direction of movement of the wet mop by the cleaning device, wherein a control device is provided, with which the nozzles are controlled such that the edge portions of the mop cover are subjected to a more intense cleaning jet than the central portion of mop cover.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung hat der Halter eine rechteckige Form mit einer kurzen Seite und einer langen Seite, wobei die Reihe der Düsen eine Strecke mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit beaufschlagen kann, die der kurzen Seite entspricht. Hierdurch kann mit geringem gerätetechnischem Aufwand der Wischbezug effizient gereinigt werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the holder has a rectangular shape with a short side and a long side, wherein the row of nozzles with a distance May apply cleaning liquid, which corresponds to the short side. As a result, the mop cover can be cleaned efficiently with little technical effort.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist eine Entfeuchtungseinrichtung zum Entfeuchten des gewaschenen Abschnitts des am Halter angeordneten Wischbezugs vorgesehen.In a preferred embodiment, a dehumidifying device is provided for dehumidifying the washed portion of the mop cover arranged on the holder.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung hat die Entfeuchtungseinrichtung zwei gegenüberliegende Pressrollen, zwischen denen der Halter mit dem daran angeordneten Wischbezug gepresst wird, wobei die Pressrollen einen Antrieb haben und die Pressrollen die Bewegungseinrichtung zum Bewegen des Halters durch die Wascheinrichtung bilden.In an advantageous embodiment, the dehumidifying device has two opposing press rollers, between which the holder is pressed with the mop cover arranged thereon, wherein the press rollers have a drive and the press rollers form the moving means for moving the holder by the washing device.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist eine Pumpe vorgesehen, die die Düsen mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit versorgt, weiterhin ist die Bewegungseinrichtung mit einem Motor versehen und die Vorrichtung hat einen Energiespeicher, bevorzugt einen Akkumulator, zum Versorgen der Energieverbraucher mit Energie.In an advantageous embodiment, a pump is provided which supplies the nozzles with cleaning fluid, furthermore, the movement device is provided with a motor and the device has an energy storage, preferably an accumulator, for supplying the energy consumers with energy.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Reinigungsvorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Feuchtwischers unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung.Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the cleaning device for cleaning a wet mop with reference to the drawing.

Gemäß Figur 1 ist eine Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 dargestellt, die eine Wascheinrichtung 11 und eine Entfeuchtungseinrichtung 16 zum Waschen und Entfeuchten eines Feuchtwischers 1 hat. Der Feuchtwischer 1 hat einen Stiel 18, an dem ein flächiger Halter 2 gelenkig angeordnet ist, an dem an seiner Unterseite ein Wischbezug 3 befestigt ist. Der Wischbezug 3 besteht aus einem saugfähigen Material zur Aufnahme einer Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6, die sich in einem Behälter 5 der Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 befindet.According to FIG. 1 a cleaning device 4 is shown, which has a washing device 11 and a dehumidifying device 16 for washing and dehumidifying a wet mop 1. The wet mop 1 has a handle 18 on which a flat holder 2 is articulated, on which a mop cover 3 is fixed on its underside. Of the Mop cover 3 consists of an absorbent material for receiving a cleaning liquid 6, which is located in a container 5 of the cleaning device 4.

Zur Reinigung von insbesondere Bodenflächen wird der Wischbezug 3 mit der Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 befeuchtet und damit die zu reinigende Fläche gewischt. Danach kann der Wischbezug 3 des Feuchtwischers 1 mittels der Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 ausgespült werden, um den aufgenommenen Schmutz zu entfernen, wobei durch teilweises Auspressen des am Halter 2 befindlichen Wischbezugs 3 eine definierte Feuchte im Wischbezug 3 eingestellt wird.For cleaning of particular floor surfaces of the mop cover 3 is moistened with the cleaning liquid 6 and thus wiped the surface to be cleaned. Thereafter, the mop cover 3 of the wet mop 1 can be flushed out by means of the cleaning device 4 in order to remove the dirt collected, wherein a defined moisture in the mop cover 3 is adjusted by partial squeezing of the mop cover 3 located on the holder 2.

Die Wascheinrichtung 11 hat eine über einen Motor 7 angetriebene Pumpe 8, die sich im Behälter 5 in der Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 befindet. An der Druckseite der Pumpe 8 ist eine Leitung 12 angeordnet, die eine Reihe von Düsen 19 mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 versorgt. Die Reihe von Düsen 19 verlaufen durch einen im Wesentlichen waagerecht ausgerichteten Zwischenboden 15, der oberhalb des Behälters 5 angeordnet ist. Der Motor 7 treibt weiterhin die Entfeuchtungseinrichtung 16 an, die oberhalb des Zwischenbodens 15 montiert ist. Die Entfeuchtungseinrichtung 16 hat eine Walze 10 und zwei über der Walze 10 angeordnete Rollen 9, die jeweils um waagerechte Achsen 20 und 21 drehbar sind, wobei die Walze 9 vom Motor in Drehrichtung 22 antreibbar ist. Die zwei Rollen 9 sind zueinander beabstandet, sodass der Stiel 18 des Feuchtwischers 1 zwischen den beiden Teilrollen hindurchgeführt werden kann. Zum Waschen und Entfeuchten des Feuchtwischers 1 wird der Halter 2 zusammen mit dem Wischbezug 3 zwischen den oberen Rollen 9 und der unteren Walze 10 hindurchgeführt. Der Abstand zwischen den oberen Rollen 9 und der unteren Walze 10 ist derart bemessen, dass der Wischbezug 3 beim Hindurchführen des Feuchtwischers 1 zusammengedrückt und so bis zu einer bestimmten Restfeuchte entfeuchtet wird. Die Rollen 9 und die Walze 10 bilden eine Bewegungseinrichtung 15 zum Bewegen des Halters 2 durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4.The washing device 11 has a driven by a motor 7 pump 8, which is located in the container 5 in the cleaning liquid 6. On the pressure side of the pump 8, a line 12 is arranged, which supplies a series of nozzles 19 with cleaning liquid 6. The row of nozzles 19 extend through a substantially horizontally oriented intermediate bottom 15, which is arranged above the container 5. The motor 7 further drives the dehumidifier 16, which is mounted above the intermediate floor 15. The dehumidifying device 16 has a roller 10 and two rollers 9 arranged above the roller 10, which are each rotatable about horizontal axes 20 and 21, wherein the roller 9 can be driven by the motor in the direction of rotation 22. The two rollers 9 are spaced from each other, so that the handle 18 of the wet mop 1 can be passed between the two sub-rollers. For washing and dehumidifying the wet mop 1, the holder 2 is passed together with the mop cover 3 between the upper rollers 9 and the lower roller 10. The distance between the upper rollers 9 and the lower roller 10 is dimensioned such that the mop cover 3 is compressed during the passage of the wet mop 1 and so dehumidified to a certain residual moisture. The rollers 9 and the roller 10 form a movement device 15 for moving the holder 2 through the cleaning device 4.

Die Walze 10 und die Rollen 9 werden in Drehrichtung 22 derart angetrieben, dass der Halter 2 zusammen mit dem Wischbezug 3 in Bewegungsrichtung 23 zwischen der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 hindurchgezogen wird. Dabei passiert der Wischbezug 3 vor dem Auspressen zwischen der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 die Reihe von Spritzdüsen 19, die in Bewegungsrichtung 23 vor der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 angeordnet sind. Der Motor 7 wird dabei von einer Steuerungseinrichtung 24 angesteuert, die mit einem Schalter 14 verbunden ist, der das Vorhandensein des Halters 2 in Führungen 13 in Antriebsrichtung vor der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 erfasst. In Antriebsrichtung hinter den Rollen 10 sind ebenso Führungen 13 für den Halter 2 vorgesehen.The roller 10 and the rollers 9 are driven in the direction of rotation 22 such that the holder 2 is pulled together with the mop cover 3 in the direction of movement 23 between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 through the cleaning device 4. In this case, the mop cover 3 before pressing between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 passes through the row of spray nozzles 19, which are arranged in the direction of movement 23 in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9. The motor 7 is thereby from a control device 24th controlled, which is connected to a switch 14 which detects the presence of the holder 2 in guides 13 in the drive direction in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9. In the drive direction behind the rollers 10 also guides 13 are provided for the holder 2.

Sobald der Schalter 14 durch den Halter 2 betätigt wird, wird von der Steuerungseinrichtung 24 der Motor 7 angesteuert, worauf die Pumpe 8 Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 aus dem Behälter 5 ansaugt und durch die Flüssigkeitsleitungen 12 zu der Reihe von Düsen 19 fördert. Gleichzeitig drehen sich die Walze 10 und die Rollen 9 und bewegen den Halter 2 in Bewegungsrichtung 23, sobald die Walze 10 zusammen mit den Rollen 9 den Halter 2 erfasst haben. Da der Halter 2 mit dem daran angeordneten Wischbezug 3 vor der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 über die Reihe von Düsen 19 geführt wird, wird im Wischbezug 3 befindlicher Schmutz mit der Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 ausgespült und anschließend überschüssige Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 zwischen der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 ausgepresst. Die von der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 ausgepresste Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 fließt nach unten auf den Zwischenboden 15 und wird auf diesem zu einem Filter 25 geleitet, durch den die Reinigungsflüssigkeit 6 nach unten zurück in den Behälter 5 fließt.As soon as the switch 14 is actuated by the holder 2, the motor 7 is actuated by the control device 24, whereupon the pump 8 draws cleaning liquid 6 from the container 5 and conveys it through the liquid lines 12 to the row of nozzles 19. At the same time, the roller 10 and the rollers 9 rotate and move the holder 2 in the direction of movement 23 as soon as the roller 10 together with the rollers 9 have detected the holder 2. Since the holder 2 is guided with the mop cover 3 arranged thereon in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9 over the row of nozzles 19, dirt present in the mop cover 3 is flushed out with the cleaning fluid 6 and then excess cleaning fluid 6 between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 squeezed out. The cleaning liquid 6 pressed out by the roller 10 and the rollers 9 flows down onto the intermediate bottom 15 and is guided thereon to a filter 25, through which the cleaning liquid 6 flows down into the container 5.

In der vorliegenden Ausführung ist die Reihe von Düsen 19 über eine Sammelleitung (nicht dargestellt) und über die Leitung 12 mit der Pumpe 8 verbunden. Der Halter 2 hat eine breite Seite 26 und eine schmale Seite 27. In Bewegungsrichtung 23 sowohl vor der Entfeuchtungseinrichtung 16 als auch nach der Entfeuchtungseinrichtung 16 sind jeweils Führungen 13 angeordnet, die den Halter 2 bzw. den Feuchtwischer 1 durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 führen. In Bewegungsrichtung 23 vor der Reihe von Düsen 19 ist ein Schalter 14 angeordnet, der mit der Steuerungseinrichtung 24 verbunden ist. Wird der Halter mit seiner schmalen Seite 27 voraus in die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 eingeführt, so wird durch den Halter 2 der Schalter 14 betätigt, woraufhin der Motor 7 zum Antreiben der Pumpe 8 und auch der Walze 10 und der Rollen 9 in Betrieb gesetzt wird. Dabei wird der Halter von der Walze 10 und den Rollen 9 erfasst und durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 transportiert, wobei der am Halter 2 auf seiner Unterseite angeordnete Wischbezug 3 durch die Reihe von Düsen 19 mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit besprüht wird. Nachdem der Halter 2 den Schalter mit seiner breiten Seite 26 passiert hat, fällt der Schalter in seine Ausgangsposition zurück und schaltet den Motor 7 ab.In the present embodiment, the row of nozzles 19 is connected via a manifold (not shown) and via the line 12 to the pump 8. The holder 2 has a wide side 26 and a narrow side 27. In the direction of movement 23 both before the dehumidifier 16 and after the dehumidifier 16 each guides 13 are arranged, which guide the holder 2 and the wet mop 1 through the cleaning device 4. In the direction of movement 23 in front of the row of nozzles 19, a switch 14 is arranged, which is connected to the control device 24. If the holder is inserted with its narrow side 27 ahead in the cleaning device 4, then the switch 14 is actuated by the holder 2, whereupon the motor 7 is set to drive the pump 8 and also the roller 10 and the rollers 9 in operation. In this case, the holder of the roller 10 and the rollers 9 is detected and transported by the cleaning device 4, wherein the holder 2 is arranged on its underside mop cover 3 is sprayed through the row of nozzles 19 with cleaning liquid. After the holder 2 has passed the switch with its wide side 26, the switch falls back to its original position and shuts off the motor 7.

Die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 hat weiterhin einen Energiespeicher, der bevorzugt als Akkumulator 28 ausgebildet ist, um Energieverbraucher wie Motor 7 und Steuerungseinrichtung 24 mit Energie zu versorgen.The cleaning device 4 furthermore has an energy store, which is preferably designed as an accumulator 28, in order to supply energy consumers such as motor 7 and control device 24 with energy.

Gemäß Figur 2 ist der Wischbezug 3 nach entsprechendem Gebrauch von unten dargestellt. Der Grad der Verschmutzung entlang des mittleren Abschnitts der breiten Seite 26 ist in Figur 3 dargestellt, und der Verschmutzungsgrad entlang des mittleren Abschnitts der schmalen Seite 27 ist in Figur 4 dargestellt. Es ist deutlich zu erkennen, dass der Wischbezug 3 im Randbereich stärker verschmutzt ist als in seinem mittleren, zentralen Abschnitt, da der Randbereich bei den Wischbewegungen des Halters 2 über eine zu wischende Fläche zunächst mit dem Schmutz in Kontakt gerät.According to FIG. 2 the mop cover 3 is shown from below after appropriate use. The degree of contamination along the middle portion of the wide side 26 is in FIG. 3 and the degree of soiling along the middle portion of the narrow side 27 is shown in FIG FIG. 4 shown. It can clearly be seen that the mop cover 3 is more heavily soiled in the edge region than in its central, central section, since the edge region initially comes into contact with the dirt during the wiping movements of the holder 2 via a surface to be wiped.

Erfindungsgemäß wird jede Düse in ihrer Sprühleistung über die Steuerungseinrichtung 24 individuell angesteuert. Beim Durchfahren des Halters mit seiner schmalen Seite 27 voraus durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung 4 werden dann die Düsen derart angesteuert, dass der vordere Randabschnitt der schmalen Seite 27 mit einer über die gesamte Reihe von Düsen 19 gleichmäßig hohen Sprühleistung angesteuert wird, und in einem mittleren Abschnitt die mittleren Düsen gegenüber den Düsen am Randbereich der Reihe von Düsen 19 mit einer geringeren Sprühleistung angesteuert werden, und der hintere Abschnitt der schmalen Seite 27 wieder mit einer über die gesamte Reihe von Düsen 19 hohen Sprühleistung angesteuert wird. Mit einer derartigen Anordnung ist es möglich, die Sprühleistung optimal an den Verschmutzungsgrad, wie er gemäß den Figuren 2 bis 4 dargestellt ist, anzupassen.According to the invention, each nozzle is individually controlled in its spraying power via the control device 24. When passing through the holder with its narrow side 27 ahead by the cleaning device 4, the nozzles are then driven such that the front edge portion of the narrow side 27 is driven with a uniform over the entire row of nozzles 19 spraying performance, and in a middle section the medium nozzles are controlled with respect to the nozzles at the edge region of the row of nozzles 19 with a lower spraying power, and the rear portion of the narrow side 27 is driven again with a high spraying performance over the entire row of nozzles 19. With such an arrangement, it is possible, the spraying performance optimally to the degree of contamination, as he according to the FIGS. 2 to 4 is shown to adapt.
