Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor cleaning machine, comprising a cleaning device and a reservoir for cleaning liquid having an outlet for the cleaning liquid in fluid communication with the cleaning device and a discharge opening for discharging the cleaning liquid.
  • cleaning liquid in particular water, to which a cleaning additive can be added
  • the generic floor cleaning machine comprises the discharge opening through which cleaning liquid can be drained through during prolonged work breaks or during temporary shutdown of the floor cleaning machine. In this way, it is possible, for example, to prevent the cleaning additive from flocculating as a result of the service life and from clogging the outlet when the floor cleaning machine is put back into service. It is further provided to drain the cleaning liquid from the reservoir in order to clean the interior of foreign particles such as dirt.
  • the US 4,741,069 describes a mobile floor cleaning machine with a reservoir which comprises an outlet connected by means of a discharge line to the cleaning device.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a floor cleaning machine of the type mentioned, which can be produced in a simpler manner.
  • the object is achieved in a generic floor cleaning machine according to the invention in that the reservoir has a cover for closing and releasing the discharge opening, in which cover the outlet is integrated.
  • the drain opening is closed, and cleaning liquid can be supplied to the cleaning device via the outlet. If the cleaning liquid is to be drained off, for example to clean the storage container, the drainage opening can be released and the cleaning liquid drained off.
  • the above embodiment of the floor cleaning machine according to the invention makes it possible to combine the cover and the outlet, which functionally have the same purpose, namely to enable or prevent the discharge of cleaning liquid from the storage container, into an assembly. During a uniform, common manufacturing process, the outlet can be easily integrated into the cover in terms of manufacturing technology, in order subsequently to be installed with the reservoir produced in a separate production method for the purpose of completing the reservoir.
  • the reservoir is made, as usual, by a rotation sintering process which does not permit integration of the outlet during the manufacturing process, subsequent integration of the outlet and thus a production step can be saved.
  • the handling of the in practice often unwieldy reservoir is facilitated when the outlet is integrated into the comparatively small cover.
  • the floor cleaning machine according to the invention not only receives a simpler structural design, but it can also be produced in a simpler way.
  • the outlet can in the present case in the simplest case be an outlet opening formed in the cover, into which, for example, a supply line for cleaning liquid for the cleaning device can be inserted. It is also conceivable embodiment of the outlet as a connection element for the supply.
  • the cross-sectional area of the discharge opening is substantially larger than the cross-sectional area of the outlet through which the cleaning liquid can flow.
  • the cross-sectional area of the outlet can be selected during production such that the cleaning device can be supplied with the required amount of cleaning liquid. If the cross-sectional area of the discharge opening is chosen to be substantially larger than the cross-sectional area of the outlet, the storage container can be emptied and cleaned particularly quickly after the discharge opening has been released.
  • the cross-section of the outlet is approximately finger-thick, whereas the cross section of the outlet opening is approximately arm-thick, so that a user can also intervene through the discharge opening into the reservoir and clean it.
  • the cross-sectional area of the discharge opening is about 20 cm 2 to about 180 cm 2 , more preferably about 50 cm 2 to about 110 cm 2 and even more preferably about 80 cm 2 . If the discharge opening is circular, this corresponds to a diameter of the discharge opening of about 5 cm to about 15 cm, more preferably about 8 cm to about 12 cm or even more preferably about 10 cm.
  • a connection element can be provided on the cover.
  • the floor cleaning machine comprises an outlet forming, in the cover, moreover, integrated connecting element for a supply line, with the cleaning device cleaning liquid is supplied.
  • the supply line can be reliably connected, thereby largely avoiding leakage in the region of the outlet.
  • connection element is formed separately from the cover and connected to it, to integrate into this.
  • the cover has a plate-shaped lid which can be produced in a structurally simple manner and for the connecting element, a standardized component is used, which can also be manufactured in large numbers production-wise simple and connected to a lid.
  • the connection element with the cover is otherwise screwed, glued or welded.
  • connection element integral with the cover and to integrate in this way in this.
  • the connecting element may be molded, for example, to the cover, for example, by casting.
  • connection element and / or the cover are made of a plastic material, because this allows their cost-effective and structurally simple production.
  • connection element is formed angled and defines, for example, a connection axis for the supply line, which forms an angle with a surface normal of the cover. This is advantageous, for example, if the cover is arranged at or near a lateral boundary of the floor cleaning machine, so that it can be reached by a user in a simpler manner.
  • the angled connection element makes it possible that the supply line does not protrude beyond the lateral boundary of the floor cleaning machine, which may be perceived by the user as disturbing.
