Definitions

  • the present application relates to a washing element, in particular for a vehicle washing system, of an ordered or disordered microfibers material combined with a primarily chemically resistant, flexible material.
  • washing elements are known in the art. So revealed the DE 197 18 589 A1 a washing element in the form of a strip of flexible material projecting from a roll core of a work roll of a vehicle washing plant.
  • the strips advantageously consist of closed-cell foam, it being also noted that the washing elements can be made of microfibre material or cellular rubber, as well as of combinations of such materials in a bonded layer structure.
  • a washing element in the form of a peelable working element for a vehicle washing system is disclosed, wherein the working element is formed from materials such as fleece, pile, and in particular Mikromaschineflor.
  • microfibre material for drying systems in vehicle washing systems is from the DE 201 06 592 U1 and the DE 10 2006 017 991 A1 known.
  • microfibre material for washing elements in vehicle washing systems has hitherto not been very widespread, since the microfiber material wears out and has to be replaced after too short an operating time. Therefore, as in the DE 197 18 589 A1 described, mainly foam material used for the washing elements, as this is extremely resistant to wear, and thus allows a long service life in the vehicle washing system.
  • a disadvantage of the use of foam material for washing elements is that this requires a relatively thick cross-section of the washing element, and thus can not apply a sufficiently high washing pressure on the surface of the vehicle, and not reach all areas on vehicles. This is especially true for the tailgates of modern motor vehicles which have curved concave shapes. The bumper and license plate area is problematic to clean.
  • foam washers Another problem with using foam washers is that a hydroplaning effect between foam and the vehicle surface may occur because the foam does not absorb water.
  • the washing element does not penetrate to the vehicle surface at medium speeds with respect to the vehicle, but very high speeds are necessary for this, but in turn cause high wear of the foam elements, wherein also removed from the foam elements material can remain on the vehicle paint, and its appearance can affect.
  • microfibre materials have too high a fluid intake. This is undesirable in modern car washes, since only a small amount of washing liquid should be used for the wash program. Furthermore, a high fluid intake requires a higher weight of the washing elements, which are therefore exposed to a higher centrifugal force when used on a washing roller and thus wear faster.
  • microfiber materials In drying elements in washing systems, however, the use of microfiber materials is widespread and advantageous, since the microfibrous materials have a high remplisstechniksaufsaugkapaztician necessary for the drying process. In particular, common microfiber materials absorb 400% of their own weight in water. In addition, there is no problem in terms of wear in drying elements, since the drying elements are moved only slowly over the vehicle surface.
  • the JP 2006 297 967 A discloses a fabric for a car wash brush and a brush for car wash. This document is based on the object of providing a carwash brush made of a fleece which provides a wiping performance such as a wet duster, which is provided with an improved water-absorbing property and is able to touch the vehicle surfaces with its surface, with a loosening process has been softened.
  • this document proposes to apply to a V consumerstoff with long filaments, which has been made of water-repellent fibers with a mean fiber diameter of 7 to 25 microns and a density of 50 to 300 g / m 2 , a water-absorbing substance, so that the Water absorbency of the long fiber nonwoven is 60 seconds or less (in the dripping method) and the water absorbency is 100 to 300 percent.
  • a washing brush for washing rolls for automatic automotive washing systems which has a plurality of disc-shaped elements, including bristle sets, which can be wound around a carrying roller and attached adjacent to one another along an axial direction.
  • Each of these disc-shaped elements includes a plurality of cylindrical seats for fixing the bristle sets therein.
  • Each disc-shaped member is further provided at one end portion thereof with a recess, without a cylindrical receptacle, to which a central projection can be connected, wherein the central projection includes the cylindrical receptacles and is formed at the other end portion of the disc-shaped part.
  • at least one removable connection part is provided for connecting these end regions, wherein a recessed receptacle is formed on one of these end regions in order to receive therein the other end region.
  • washing element in which the primarily chemically resistant, flexible material is arranged as a filling material between the microfibers in order to crosslink and stabilize them.
  • the property of the material as filler material is that the interstices between the microfibers are filled so that the absorbency of the microfiber material can be reduced, whereby it advantageously absorbs less washing liquid during operation.
  • the cross-linking of the microfibers through the filler material allows the individual microfiber strands to be better bonded together, thereby resulting in less relative friction between the microfibers and overall fixing the structure of the microfiber material.
  • the filler material stabilizes the microfiber material, on the one hand, by increasing the stability of the individual microfibers provided therewith, and on the other hand by stabilizing the washing element as a whole, so that a higher washing force, that is to say pressing force of the washing element when the washing element is spun on a roller of a vehicle washing facility, can be achieved.
  • the filler prevents tearing of an already slightly damaged microfiber material, so that the life of the material can be increased. Nevertheless, there is still a microfiber structure which makes it possible to make the washing element relatively thin, so that the washing element can also reach critical areas on vehicles.
  • the washing element can be formed with a small thickness, which makes it possible to apply at the edges of the washing element a higher surface pressure on the vehicle, which requires a better washing performance.
  • the likelihood of aquaplaning between the washing element and the vehicle is further reduced by the fact that, according to the invention, gaps and passages between the microfiber material and filling material can penetrate into the washing liquid, so that as soon as a high pressure arises between the washing element and the vehicle surface, the washing liquid enters the interior of the washing element can be removed, whereby the washing element remains in contact with the vehicle surface.
  • the water does not accumulate significantly in the washing element, since the filling material prevents this.
  • Microfibers allow a very gentle vehicle wash, since they have such a fine structure that scratching of the paint can be excluded.
  • the filling material is thus arranged between the microfibers so that there are still intermediate spaces for receiving washing liquid.
  • the washing element can also take over the function of wetting the vehicle surface with washing liquid, and that the washing liquid does not have to be sprayed exclusively on the vehicle.
  • the gaps also allow water to dissipate from the vehicle surface, so that freshly sprayed washing liquid or freshly applied by the washing element washing liquid can be used with less dirt for washing.
  • the washing liquid is primarily a mixture of water with a suitable washing additive, but also other washing liquids, which may not have water, can alternatively be used.
  • microfibers are preferably hydrophobic. This can be achieved by impregnating the microfibers with fluoro- or silicone-based agents.
  • the filling material closes off the interspaces between the microfibers, so that only a water absorption capacity in the washing element of less than 100 wt .-%, preferably between 30 and 10 wt .-%, with respect to the own weight of the dry washing element.
  • a water absorbency of about 20% by weight is preferred.
  • the microfibers are microfilaments that have a length so that they extend over the entire length of the washing element.
  • the microfilaments have a length at least the length of the washing element, but may also have a considerably longer length when woven or felted Condition are arranged.
  • the continuous microfilaments make it possible to increase the stability of the washing element significantly, since a continuous cutting of the continuous microfilaments is necessary for a progression of the dissolution of the washing element.
  • the preparation of the microfibers or microfilaments is carried out in particular by extrusion and subsequent stretching to increase the strength, such as in the FR 274 98 60 A1 is described.
  • the microfibers in the wash element are randomly oriented, that is, randomly arranged to form a felt.
  • the microfibers are advantageously intertwined to a considerable extent, so that a high strength of the washing element is due to the interaction of the microfibers with each other.
  • the entangling of the microfibers or microfilaments is made possible, in particular, by a water-jet system which directs a water jet with primarily 100 bar to 300 bar pressure onto randomly arranged microfibers or microfilaments.
  • the microfibers in the washing element are interwoven together to form a fabric so as to obtain an increase in strength, it being understood that it is also possible to use woven microfibers which are partly or partially felted.
  • microfibers which are crosslinked only through the filling material.
  • the entanglement or interweaving of the microfibers with each other in particular increases the tensile strength of the washing element.
  • the filling material is arranged in a state solidified from the liquid form between the microfibers.
  • the introduction of the filling material in a liquid form in the microfibers allows the filler material can penetrate into the interstices between the microfibers in a small thickness, and thus the interspaces can be filled with only a small filler, without the microfiber material is significantly expanded in total.
  • the washing element has a texture that results from the fact that the particular woven and / or felted microfibers are first solidified with heat input and pressure before the filler material is introduced.
  • the individual microfibers of the microfiber material are partially or partially welded together, which is made possible by microfibers consisting of polyester and polyamide.
  • the microfiber material thus solidified has higher strength and higher modulus of elasticity than comparable non-solidified microfiber materials.
  • the solidification can take place only in regions, or be carried out intensively in certain regions, as a result of which the microcompartments described below can be produced.
  • the washing element advantageously has a texture that results from the fact that the microfibers, in particular after solidification, are immersed in the filling material, and then the excess filling material is squeezed out of the microfibers.
  • the squeezing can prevent too large accumulations of filling material between the microfibers, as a result of which as a whole a thin shape of the washing element can be achieved, yet the spaces between the microfibers are filled to the desired extent by the filling material.
  • the wash element has a texture that results from the microfibers being thermally treated with the filler so that the filler engages with the microfibers.
  • the thermal treatment may in particular lead to a curing of the filling material, as well as to an adhesion of the filling material due to a positive connection or due to an adhesive effect on the microfibers.
  • the thermal treatment can not only cause the curing of the filler, but also allow a chemical cohesive connection between the filler and the microfibers. It should be noted that the filling material still has a desired flexibility in the cured state, since the washing element is advantageously advantageously flexible overall.
  • the wash element is a microfiber material, especially a crosslinked nonwoven, having a basis weight of from 90 grams per square meter to 400 grams per square meter.
  • the microfiber material has a basis weight of 240 grams per square meter.
  • the microfiber material, or the crosslinked nonwoven is in particular strip-shaped or planar.
  • the washing element has filling material with a proportion by weight of 5% to 30%, preferably 20%.
  • the interstices of the microfiber material can be sufficiently filled, and the microfibers are sufficiently crosslinked.
  • a higher water absorption capacity of the washing element is achieved, but with a higher proportion by weight of the filling material, a lower water absorption capacity is achieved.
  • the microfibers are made of polyamide and polyester, each of which forms a partial cross-section of the microfiber.
  • the polyamide and polyester cross sections are arranged as a plurality of circle segments in a round microfiber cross section.
  • These types of plastic provide sufficient strength and durability of the microfibers.
  • combined polyamide and polyester microfibers allow for advantageous welding of the microfibers together by application of heat, since polyamide has a lower melting temperature than polyester.
  • the melting temperature of polyester is about 255 ° C
  • the melting temperature of polyamide is about 225 ° C. If a temperature is selected for welding between these temperatures, the microfibers can be welded together, whereby their structure is not destroyed. Welding of the microfibers is carried out in particular for solidifying the microfiber material and / or for forming the microcompartments prior to introduction of the filling material.
  • the microfibers in particular have a diameter of about 6 microns.
  • the filler material is natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
  • Rubber allows introduction in liquid form, after which curing of the rubber by heating enables crosslinking and stabilization of the microfibers.
  • the liquid rubber is activated in such a way that the individual molecular chains crosslink in the rubber. This can be promoted by chemical additives known in the art.
  • the temperature for the crosslinking of the molecular chains in the rubber is below the temperature required for welding the microfibers was applied. Due to resistance to wear, the use of rubber is a particularly preferred embodiment.
  • filler polyurethane which also allows networking and stabilization of the microfibers, while filling the spaces between the microfibers.
  • the washing element is a washing strip, that is to say an elongated element having a certain, preferably constant width, and a thickness which is smaller in comparison to the width.
  • the wash strip has a relatively small area at its longitudinal end, as defined by the width and thickness of the wash strip, and thus can apply a high surface pressure to the surface of a vehicle.
  • the narrow strip shape allows optimal penetration of the washing strip even in recessed, narrow areas of the vehicle surface, which can thus be cleaned well.
  • the washing strip also allows a good cleaning action with its top and bottom, which is defined by its width and partly by its length, as it can be pulled over the surface of the vehicle.
  • the wash strip can either be manufactured individually or be cut off in strips from a larger wash element mat.
  • the wash strip has a width of 2 to 10 mm, preferably 4 mm, and a substantially smaller thickness of about 5% to 50%, preferably 20% of its width. This dimensioning allows an optimal washing effect.
  • the washing element has microcompartments in the form of recessed washing liquid receiving areas. These predominantly solidified, depressed regions are advantageously produced by the fact that the microfiber material in the production, in particular before the introduction of the filling material, in some areas a high pressure and / or high temperature is exposed, so that in these local areas, the washing element is further solidified, and in particular the microfibers are welded together. In other embodiments, the filler material and the microfibers may also be further solidified in regions and / or further welded together. In particular, the pressure and / or the high temperature is applied to the top and bottom of the washing element so that a partially compressed portion of the washing element is formed, which differs from the top to the bottom along the thickness of the washing element extends continuously.
  • a high-strength area can be generated in which no or hardly any washing liquid is taken up between the microfibers.
  • the appropriate provision of such areas can increase the strength of the washing elements, since a stable connection between the microfibers is provided.
  • the washing liquid receiving area is reset to provide a defined transport volume for the washing liquid when the washing element scraps the washing liquid receiving area over the vehicle, since the washing liquid is pressed by the surface pressure in the washing liquid receiving areas, and is carried in these by the washing element.
  • the recessed microcompartments reduce the likelihood of aquaplaning occurring.
  • the microcompartments are provided as elongated recesses offset from one another on the upper and lower side of the washing element.
  • the microcompartments extend in different directions, advantageously in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction of the washing element.
  • the microcompartments are offset from one another and do not extend along the entire width or length of the washing element, but are made relatively short, in particular in lengths of 2 mm to 10 mm, advantageously 3 mm.
  • the microcompartments advantageously have a width of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, in particular of 1 mm, and a depth of 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm, in particular of 0.25 mm.

  • microcompartments allow solidification of the microfiber material, as this is compacted in the areas of the microcompartments, and in particular the microfibers are glued or fused together by the compression.
  • the cleaning effect is increased by the microcompartments, since washing liquid is supplied in the microcompartments of the vehicle surface, and is discharged from the vehicle surface. This allows an improved transport function of the washing liquid, which further improves the cleaning effect.
  • the aforementioned alternative washing element can also be combined with the primarily chemically resistant, flexible material, wherein the primarily chemically resistant, flexible material is arranged as a filling material between the microfibers in order to crosslink and stabilize them.
