Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungsgerät zur Reinigung von Oberflächen mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Reinigungswalzen, wobei die Reinigungswalzen an einer Lagerungseinrichtung angeordnet sind und wobei die Reinigungswalzen an der Lagerungseinrichtung um Drehachsen, die bei einer Verwendung des Reinigungsgeräts parallel zu einer zu reinigenden Oberfläche ausgerichtet sind, drehbar gelagert sind und mit einer Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben werden können.The invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning surfaces with two juxtaposed cleaning rollers, wherein the cleaning rollers are arranged on a bearing device and wherein the cleaning rollers rotatably mounted on the bearing means about axes of rotation, which are aligned parallel to a surface to be cleaned when using the cleaning device are and can be driven by a drive device.
Aus der Praxis sind verschiedene Reinigungsgeräte bereits bekannt, wie z.B. aus der
Eine Drehachse der Reinigungswalzen kann dabei im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu einer zu reinigenden Oberfläche ausgerichtet sein, so dass die Oberfläche mit einer Stirnseite der Reinigungswalze gereinigt wird, die zu diesem Zweck oftmals einen ringförmigen Besatz mit Borsten aufweist. Die Drehachse der Reinigungswalzen kann auch parallel zu einer zu reinigenden Oberfläche ausgerichtet sein, wobei die Reinigungswalze über ihre Umfangsfläche verteilt einen Borstenbesatz aufweist, so dass die drehende Reinigungswalze die Oberfläche mit ihrer Umfangsfläche überfährt und reinigt.An axis of rotation of the cleaning rollers can be aligned substantially perpendicular to a surface to be cleaned, so that the surface is cleaned with a front side of the cleaning roller, which often has an annular stocking with bristles for this purpose. The axis of rotation of the cleaning rollers can also be aligned parallel to a surface to be cleaned, wherein the cleaning roller distributed over its peripheral surface has a bristle facing, so that the rotating cleaning roller passes over the surface with its peripheral surface and cleans.
Derartige Reinigungsgeräte weisen üblicherweise auch einen manuellen oder automatischen Drehantrieb für die Reinigungswalzen auf. Bei zwei Reinigungswalzen werden die Reinigungswalzen üblicherweise von einem zentral angeordneten Antriebsmotor angetrieben. Durch die Drehung der an der zu reinigenden Oberfläche anliegenden Reinigungswalzen und die dadurch erzeugten Reibungskräfte wird eine Führungsrichtung des Reinigungsgerätes vorgegeben, in die sich das Reinigungsgerät bewegt, sofern kein Benutzereingriff erfolgt. Gleichzeitig wird eine von einem Benutzer gewünschte Lenkung des Reinigungsgeräts in eine abweichende Richtung erschwert. Insbesondere bei einem größeren Reinigungsgerät, das ein erhebliches Gewicht aufweisen kann, kann das Reinigungsgerät nur mit einem erheblichen Kraftaufwand von einem Benutzer in eine von der durch die Drehung der Reinigungswalzen vorgegebenen Führungsrichtung abweichende Richtung geführt werden.Such cleaning devices usually also have a manual or automatic rotary drive for the cleaning rollers. With two cleaning rollers, the cleaning rollers are usually driven by a centrally arranged drive motor. By the rotation of the voltage applied to the surface to be cleaned cleaning rollers and the frictional forces generated thereby a guide direction of the cleaning device is predetermined, in which the cleaning device moves, if no user intervention takes place. At the same time a desired by a user steering of the cleaning device is made difficult in a different direction. In particular, in a larger cleaning device, which may have a considerable weight, the cleaning device can be performed only with a considerable force by a user in one of the predetermined by the rotation of the cleaning rollers guide direction deviating direction.
Es wird deshalb als eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung angesehen, ein Reinigungsgerät mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Reinigungswalzen derart auszugestalten, das eine Richtungsführung des Reinigungsgeräts auf einfache Weise und ohne einen erheblichen Kraftaufwand möglich ist.It is therefore regarded as an object of the present invention to design a cleaning device with two juxtaposed cleaning rollers such that a directional guidance of the cleaning device in a simple manner and without a considerable expenditure of force is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Reinigungsgerät eine Steuerungseinrichtung aufweist, mit welcher von der Antriebseinrichtung auf die Reinigungswalzen übertragene Antriebsleistungen getrennt voneinander vorgebbar sind, so dass durch eine voneinander abweichende Drehgeschwindigkeit der Reinigungswalzen eine Richtungsführung des Reinigungsgeräts erleichtert werden kann. Durch die getrennt voneinander ansteuerbaren Reinigungswalzen kann eine voneinander abweichende Drehgeschwindigkeit der Reinigungswalzen vorgegeben werden. Die sich drehenden Reinigungswalzen erzeugen durch deren Reibung auf der zu reinigenden Oberfläche einen Vortrieb. Durch eine unterschiedliche Drehgeschwindigkeit der beiden Reinigungswalzen kann in Abhängigkeit von deren Anordnung und Ausrichtung eine Drehbewegung des Reinigungsgeräts erzeugt bzw. unterstützt werden. Dadurch kann eine Richtungsführung des Reinigungsgeräts erleichtert werden, die für einen Benutzer auf einfache Weise ohne einen erheblichen Kraftaufwand möglich wird.This object is achieved in that the cleaning device has a control device, with which drive powers transmitted by the drive device to the cleaning rollers can be predetermined separately from each other, so that a directional guidance of the cleaning device can be facilitated by a different rotational speed of the cleaning rollers. By separately controllable cleaning rollers, a different rotational speed of the cleaning rollers can be specified. The rotating cleaning rollers generate by their friction on the surface to be cleaned a propulsion. By a different rotational speed of the two cleaning rollers, a rotational movement of the cleaning device can be generated or supported depending on their arrangement and orientation. Thereby, a directional guidance of the cleaning device can be facilitated, which is possible for a user in a simple manner without a considerable expenditure of force.
Die Reinigungswalzen können erfindungsgemäß beispielsweise durch einen einzigen elektrischen Antriebsmotor angetrieben werden, wobei die getrennte Ansteuerung der Reinigungswalzen durch zwei Transmissionsanordnungen ermöglicht wird. Die Transmissionsanordnungen können zum Beispiel Riemen, Zahnräder oder flexible Antriebswellen aufweisen und so ausgebildet sein, dass eine getrennte, bzw. voneinander unabhängige Übertragung der Antriebsleistung und damit einhergehend eine voneinander unabhängige Vorgabe der Drehgeschwindigkeit für die beiden Reinigungswalzen erfolgen kann. Die Drehgeschwindigkeit der Reinigungswalzen kann dabei entweder stufenweise oder auch stufenlos vorgegeben werden.The cleaning rollers can be driven according to the invention, for example, by a single electric drive motor, wherein the separate control of the cleaning rollers is made possible by two transmission arrangements. The transmission arrangements may comprise, for example, belts, gears or flexible drive shafts and be designed so that a separate, or mutually independent transmission of the drive power and thus an independent specification of the rotational speed for the two cleaning rollers can be carried out. The rotational speed of the cleaning rollers can be specified either stepwise or continuously.
Der Antriebsmotor kann während eines Betriebs des Reinigungsgeräts kabelgebunden mit einem Energieversorgungsnetz verbunden und mit elektrischer Antriebsenergie versorgt werden. Um eine Verwendung des Reinigungsgeräts zu erleichtern ist eine kabellose Energieversorgung vorteilhaft, wobei das Reinigungsgerät beispielsweise eine gegebenenfalls mehrzellige Batterie oder eine wiederaufladbare Akkumulatoreinrichtung aufweisen kann. In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Reinigungswalzen eine gemeinsame Drehachse aufweisen. Die gemeinsame Drehachse der Reinigungswalzen ist bei einer zweckgemäßen Anordnung des Reinigungsgeräts parallel zu der zu reinigenden Fläche angeordnet und die Reinigungswalzen sind zweckmäßigerweise an einer mittig angeordneten Lagerungseinrichtung in entgegengesetzten Richtungen abstehend angeordnet. Die Drehachse ist dabei in vorteilhafter Weise quer zu einer geraden Bewegungsrichtung des Reinigungsgeräts ausgerichtet, so dass die beiden Reinigungswalzen rechts und links von einer Mittenachse des Reinigungsgeräts angeordnet sind. Bei einer übereinstimmenden Drehgeschwindigkeit der beiden Reinigungswalzen Durch die gemeinsame Drehachse der Reinigungswalzen kann die Ansteuerung der Reinigungswalzen erleichtert werden und zudem eine große Reinigungsfläche in einem Reinigungsvorgang gereinigt werden.The drive motor can be wired connected to a power supply network and supplied with electrical drive energy during operation of the cleaning device. In order to facilitate use of the cleaning device, a wireless power supply is advantageous, wherein the cleaning device may have, for example, an optionally multi-cell battery or a rechargeable accumulator device. In a development of the invention, it is provided that the cleaning rollers have a common axis of rotation. The common axis of rotation of the cleaning rollers is arranged in a purposeful arrangement of the cleaning device parallel to the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning rollers are arranged expediently projecting at a centrally disposed storage device in opposite directions.
