Beschreibung Technisches GebietDescription Technical area
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auswringvorrichtung für ein Wischgerät mit einer Aufnahme in welcher ein Wischmop durch Eindrücken auswringbar ist, wobei die Aufnahme eine Anzahl von Wandteilen umfasst, die jeweils einen Innenschenkel und einen Außenschenkel aufweisen die miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a wringing device for a wiper device with a receptacle in which a mop by wringing can be wrung out, wherein the receptacle comprises a number of wall parts, each having an inner leg and an outer leg which are interconnected.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Derartige Auswringvorrichtungen sind aus der EP 0 489 237 A1 bekannt. Die dort gezeigt Auswringvorrichtung zeigt eine Aufnahme, die aus einer Vielzahl V- förmig ausgebildeter Wandteile aufweist, wobei die Außenschenkel ortsfest an der Aufnahme befestigt sind und die Innenschenkel an deren freien Enden miteinander verbunden sind. Beim Eindrücken eines Wischmops werden die miteinander verbundenen freien Enden der Innenschenkel nach unten bewegt, was dazu führt, dass sich die Wandteile derart verformt, dass sich die lichte Weite der Aufnahme verringert und dadurch der Wischmop zusätzlich an den Seiten verpresst wird. Darstellung der ErfindungSuch wringers are known from EP 0 489 237 A1. The wringer shown there shows a receptacle which has a plurality of V-shaped wall parts, wherein the outer legs are fixedly secured to the receptacle and the inner legs are connected together at their free ends. When a mop is pressed in, the interconnected free ends of the inner legs are moved downwards, which causes the wall parts to deform in such a way that the clear width of the receptacle is reduced and the mop is additionally pressed on the sides. Presentation of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Auswringvorrichtung für Wischgeräte bereitzustellen, die eine verbesserte Auswringleistung bei einfacher Bedieπbarkeit aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a wringer for wiping, which has an improved wringing performance with ease Bedieπbarkeit.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. In advantageous embodiments, the dependent claims relate.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist zwischen Innenschenkel und Außenschenkel zumindest ein Abstandshalter angeordnet. Der Innen- und der Außenschenkel sind darüber hinaus an deren freien Enden miteinander verbunden; Innen- und Außenschenkel sind erfindungsgemäß elastisch ausgebildet und der Abstandshalter ist zug- und/oder druckstabil ausgebildet, um Kräfte vom Innenschenkel auf den Außenschenkel übertragen zu können. DerTo solve the problem, at least one spacer is arranged between inner leg and outer leg. The inner and outer legs are also connected together at their free ends; Inner and outer leg are formed elastically according to the invention and the spacer is tensile and / or pressure-resistant, in order to transmit forces from the inner leg to the outer leg can. Of the
Innenschenkel gibt beim Einpressen eines Wischmops in die Aufnahme nach und wird dabei elastisch verformt. Die Auslenkung des Innenschenkels wird aufgrund der Verbindung von Innen- und Außenschenkel durch den zumindest einen Abstandshalter auf den Außenschenkel übertragen. Der Außenschenkel wirkt als Druck- und elastischer Biegestab. Bei Krafteinwirkung auf den Innenschenkel übt der Innenschenkel eine Zugkraft auf das Ende des Außenschenkels aus, die den Außenschenkel spannt und bogenförmig durchbiegt. Der Außenschenkel bewirkt eine Gegenkraft zu der Zugkraft, wobei der Außenschenkel einer Druckbiegespannung unterliegt. Der Außenschenkel ist bevorzugt so ausgelegt, dass bei seiner Verformung infolge der Zugkraft des Innenschenkels die Wölbung konvex ist. Der zumindest eine Abstandshalter verhindert, dass sich der Mittelteil des Außenschenkels weiter vom Innenschenkel entfernt, als durch die Länge des Abstandshalters vorgegeben, so dass der Mittelteil des Außenschenkels nicht nach außen auswandern kann. Dies bewirkt eine bogenförmige Verkrümmung des Außenschenkels, wobei sich das Ende des Außenschenkels nach innen, in Richtung der Mittelachse der Auswringvorrichtung bewegt und sich der Außenschenkel um den Wischmop schließt. Dabei zieht der Außenschenkel das freie Ende des Innenschenkels mit, so dass sich der Innenschenkel vollflächig an dem Wischmop anlegt und diesen wie ein Spannban.d umschließt. Der Kraftfluss in der erfindungsgemäßen Auswringvorrichtung bewirkt somit eine mechanisch gekoppelte Bewegung: je stärker der Einpressdruck des Wischgerätes in die Aufnahme ist, desto größer ist die Zugkraft auf die Verbindung von Innen- und Außenschenkel und dementsprechend die elastische Druck-Biege-Verformung des Außenschenkels, welche durch den zumindest einen Abstandshalter in eine Einwärtsbewegung der Verbindung in Richtung auf den Wischmop umgesetzt wird. Dadurch verkleinert sich der dem Wischmop zur Verfügung stehende Raum in der Aufnahme. Der Wischmop wird von allen Seiten gleichzeitig zusammen gedrückt. Je stärker der Wischmop in die Aufnahme gedrückt wird, desto enger und fester schließt sich die Vorrichtung. Dadurch verbessert sich die Auswringleistung. Der zumindest eine Abstandshalter verhindert ein Knicken des Außenschenkels, so dass die Außenschenkel größere Kräfte aufnehmen und bei gleicher Bruchsicherheit dünner und biegsamer ausgeführt werden können. Das ermöglicht eine Materialersparnis und verbessert die Auswringleistung, wobei die gleiche Auswringleistung mit weniger Kraft erzielt werden kann. Des Weiteren begrenzt der Abstandshalter die Vertikalbewegung der Innenschenkel und der Durchmesser des Innenteils der Aufnahme wird bei der konvexen Biegeverformung der Außenschenkels erweitert und angehoben. So kann der Eimer flacher gehalten oder mit mehr Wischwasser befüllt werden. Eine Ausgestaltung mit nur einem Abstandshalter ist besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar, wobei im Spritzgießprozess der Abstandshalter in einem Arbeitsgang an Innen- und Außenschenkel anformbar ist. Die Abstandshalter können gelenkig an Innenschenkel und Außenschenkel angebracht sein. Dadurch verbessert sich Kraftübertragung vom Innen- auf den Außenschenkel sowie die Beweglichkeit der Auswringvorrichtung.Inner leg yields when pressing a mop into the receptacle and is thereby deformed elastically. The deflection of the inner leg is transmitted due to the connection of inner and outer leg through the at least one spacer on the outer leg. The outer leg acts as a pressure and elastic bending rod. When force is applied to the inner leg of the inner leg exerts a tensile force on the end of the outer leg, which tensions the outer leg and bends arcuately. The outer leg causes a counterforce to the tensile force, wherein the outer leg is subject to a compressive bending stress. The outer leg is preferably designed so that in its deformation due to the tensile force of the inner leg, the curvature is convex. The at least one spacer prevents the center portion of the outer leg from moving farther from the inner leg than dictated by the length of the spacer so that the middle portion of the outer leg can not migrate outwardly. This causes an arcuate curvature of the outer leg, wherein the end of the outer leg moves inwards towards the center axis of the wringer and the outer leg closes around the mop. Here, the outer leg pulls the free end of the inner leg, so that the inner leg over the entire surface of the mop and this surrounds like a Spannban.d. The force flow in the wringer according to the invention thus causes a mechanically coupled movement: the stronger the press-in pressure of the wiper device in the recording, the greater the tensile force on the connection of inner and outer legs and, accordingly, the elastic pressure-bending deformation of the outer leg, which is converted by the at least one spacer in an inward movement of the compound in the direction of the mop. This reduces the space available for the mop in the receptacle. The mop is pressed together from all sides at the same time. The more the mop is pressed into the receptacle, the tighter and tighter the device closes. This improves the wringing performance. The at least one spacer prevents buckling of the outer leg, so that the outer leg can absorb larger forces and can be made thinner and more flexible with the same breakage resistance. This allows for material savings and improves wringing performance, with the same wringing performance achieved with less force. Furthermore, the spacer limits the vertical movement of the inner legs and the diameter of the inner part of the receptacle is expanded and raised in the convex bending deformation of the outer leg. So the bucket can be kept flatter or filled with more mop water. An embodiment with only one spacer is particularly simple and inexpensive to produce, wherein in the injection molding process, the spacer can be formed in one operation on the inner and outer leg. The spacers may be hinged to inner legs and outer legs. This improves power transmission from the inner to the outer leg and the mobility of the wringer.

Des Weiteren weisen Filmscharniere nur einen Freiheitsgrad auf, so dass bei hoher Flexibilität gleichzeitig eine hohe Stabilität der Auswringvorrichtung erreicht wird.External leg can be done by means of film hinges. Film hinges have a simple shape and are therefore easy to manufacture. Furthermore, film hinges have only one degree of freedom, so that at the same time high stability of the wringing device is achieved with high flexibility.
Zumindest die Innenschenkel können spiralförmig ausgebildet sein. Durch die spiralförmige Ausbildung erfolgt beim Einpressen eines Wischmops neben der Abwärtsbewegung eine gleichzeitige Drehbewegung der Innenschenkel. Dadurch werden beispielsweise Fransen eines Wischmops verdreht, wodurch sich die Auswringleistung nochmals verbessert.At least the inner legs can be formed spirally. Due to the spiral-shaped configuration, a simultaneous rotary movement of the inner legs takes place during the pressing in of a mop in addition to the downward movement. As a result, for example, fringes of a mop are twisted, which further improves the wringing performance.
Die Außenschenkel und Innenschenkel können im Übergangsbereich eine Durchbrechung aufweisen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Materialersparnis und es vereinfacht sich die Fertigung, da in die Durchbrechung Fertigungswerkzeuge einführbar sind.The outer leg and inner leg may have an opening in the transition region. This results in a saving of material and it simplifies the production, since in the opening production tools are inserted.
Die Abstandshalter können oberen Drittel des Außenschenkels angeordnet sein. Dabei ist in dieser Ausgestaltung je Innen-/Außenschenkelpaar jeweils nur ein Abstandshalter vorgesehen. Dabei ergibt sich eine einfache Herstellbarkeit bei guter Auswringleistung.The spacers may be arranged upper third of the outer leg. In this embodiment, only one spacer is provided for each inner / outer leg pair. This results in a simple manufacturability with good wringing performance.

The deformation and the force is transmitted through the spacers 6 on the outer legs 6, whereby they also deform. Since inner leg 5 and outer leg 6 are connected to each other, by deformation of the inner leg 5 and outer leg 6, a movement of the connection point in the direction of the wiper device 2. Thus, the wiper device 2 is almost completely covered and wrung from the receptacle 3.
Figur 6 zeigt einen Eimer 13 auf dessen Rand eine Auswringvorrichtung 1 gemäß einer der vorherigen Figuren mittels einer Schnappverbindung befestigt ist. Die Auswringvorrichtung weist einen Trichter 11 auf, der gleichzeitig die Befestigungselemente zur Befestigung der Auswringvorrichtung 1 an dem Eimer 13 angeordnet sind und an dem die Aufnahme 3 befestigt ist. Der freie Rand 14 des Trichters 11 ist abgeflacht, so dass der Trichter 11 in der Draufsicht eine dreieckige Gestalt erhält. Dadurch ist der Trichter 11 platzsparend in dem Eimer angeordnet und es ergibt sich ein großer freier Querschnitt, durch, den der Wiεchmop 2 in das Wischwasser des Eimers 13 getaucht werden kann. Des Weiteren weist der Trichter 11 eine Aufnahme 15 auf, an der der Stiel eines Wischmops 2 eingeklipst werden kann. Der Eimer 13 weist eine ovale Grundform auf und ist an den längeren Seiten 16 mit Sicken 17 versehen. Diese Sicken 17 versteifen den Eimer 13 und ermöglichen eine verringerte Wanddicke und somit die Herstellung eines leichten und kostengünstigen Eimers 13.FIG. 6 shows a bucket 13 on the edge of which a wringing device 1 according to one of the preceding figures is fastened by means of a snap connection. The wringer has a funnel 11, which at the same time the fastening elements for fastening the wringing device 1 to the Bucket 13 are arranged and to which the receptacle 3 is attached. The free edge 14 of the funnel 11 is flattened so that the funnel 11 is given a triangular shape in plan view. As a result, the hopper 11 is arranged to save space in the bucket and there is a large free cross section, through which the Wiεchmop 2 can be immersed in the wiping water of the bucket 13. Furthermore, the funnel 11 has a receptacle 15, on which the stem of a mop 2 can be clipped. The bucket 13 has an oval basic shape and is provided on the longer sides 16 with beads 17. These beads 17 stiffen the bucket 13 and allow a reduced wall thickness and thus the production of a lightweight and inexpensive bucket 13th
