- This dimensioning is achieved by a corresponding length dimensioning of the struts 66, 68, 72, 74 of the polygonallenkers 64.
- the second longitudinal strut 74 is assigned a stop 118 (FIG. 4).
- the stop 118 is arranged, for example, on the first transverse strut 66 and fixed relative thereto.
- the stop 118 is not effective in the working position 114. It becomes effective only when, starting from a certain transport position 112, the first longitudinal strut 72 is actively pivoted further upwards. It is then possible to reach a tilting transport position 120 (FIGS. 5 to 10).
- the second longitudinal strut 74 has assigned to its second region 96 a counter area 122 for the stop 118.
- the opposite region 122 is located opposite the stop 118.
- the longitudinal strut 72 is pivoted away from the bottom 62 upwards, then the counter region 122 is moved in the direction of the stop 118.
- the stop 118 is arranged and configured in relation to the opposite region 122 so that in the working position 114 (wherein several working positions 114 may be provided) and in or shortly before the transport position with the envelope level 60 parallel to the bottom 62 and in all intermediate positions therebetween the counter area 122 does not abut stop 118.
- FIG. 8 shows such an intermediate position.
- the counterpart area 122 comes into contact with the abutment 118 (compare FIG. 9).
- the stopper 118 is arranged and configured in relation to the counterpart portion 122 such that this striking is achieved just when the transporting position 112 is reached with parallel alignment
- This enlargement of the length compared to an initial length of the second longitudinal strut 74 causes a pivoting of the tool receptacle 14 with the cleaning tool 44 relative to the chassis 12 or to the bottom 62 and it is reached the tilting transport position 120. This will be explained again with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c).
- Tilted transport position 120 shown.
- the tilting transport position 120 is reached at the cleaning tool device 38 without additional Versteilantrieb.
- An operator of the floor cleaning machine can actively set the tilting transport position 120.
- the length of the second longitudinal strut 74 can be changed via force introduction by means of the abutment 118 into the polygonal link 64, and the tilted transport position 120 can be achieved.
- the floor cleaning machine 10 can be realized in a structurally simple way with an increased Rampen whkeit.
- the spring device 92 is arranged and designed in this way and, in particular, has such a great spring stiffness that the length-variable design of the second longitudinal strut 74 only then becomes effective comes when the counter portion 122 abuts against the stop 118 and the first longitudinal strut 72 is then pivoted upwards.
- a typical way for the change in length of the second longitudinal strut is approximately 1 cm.
- the cleaning tool 44 is drained on the floor 62 via the adjusting device 104 so that the
- Brushes 54 touch the bottom 62, wherein, as mentioned, the acute angle 116 is set.
- the spring device 92 has no function.
- the spring device 92 is adjusted with respect to its spring stiffness so that the second longitudinal strut 74 can be regarded as rigid (fixed in length). It may happen that in the working position 114, the cleaning tool 44 abuts an obstacle 130 ( Figure 13 (a)), wherein the obstacle is oriented transversely to the bottom 62. By abutting the obstacle 130 forces are exerted on the tool device 38 and the holding device 42, which may possibly lead to damage.
- the forces arising from abutting the obstacle 130 are directed to the polygonal link 64.
- the first transverse strut 66, the second transverse strut 68 and the first longitudinal strut 72 are rigid.
- the second longitudinal strut 74 is not rigidly formed via the spring device 92. Forces acting with a force component 132 parallel to the direction 102 may result in compression of the spring means 92. This shortens the second longitudinal strut 74, that is the distance between the third pivot axis 86 and the fourth pivot axis 90 is shortened. This in turn causes a relative rotation of the cleaning tool 44 to the bottom 62.
- the spring device 92 is compressed at sufficiently large force components 132.
- the length of the second longitudinal strut 74 is thereby shortened compared to its initial length.
- Floor 62 is oriented. A distance of the rear end 128 to the bottom 62 increases.
- the cleaning tool 44 so to speak, pivots away from the obstacle 130 and thereby deviates from the acting force.
- a corresponding "brief" abutment of the cleaning tool to an obstacle 130 can often occur during a cleaning operation in the working position 114 of the cleaning tool 44.
- a force load is reduced in a structurally simple manner and the risk of damage of the cleaning tool 44 and also of the holding device 42 is reduced.
- the spring means 92 the cleaning tool 44 can escape.
- FIG. 14 schematically shows the working position 114 for the cleaning tool 44 and a deflecting position in which the cleaning tool 44 deviates from an obstacle 130 on which the cleaning tool 44 abuts.
- the spring force of the spring means 92 causes a provision; the spring device 92 returns to its basic position 124, which is then the working position 114, in which the cleaning tool 14 lies at the specific acute angle 116 to the bottom 62.
- the cleaning process can be continued.
- the spring device 92 is on the second longitudinal strut 74.
- Such a design is structurally advantageous, in particular when the second longitudinal strut 74 is located below the first longitudinal strut 72 with respect to the direction of gravity g and the first longitudinal strut 72 is actively pivoted (via the adjusting device 104). It is also possible that at one or more other struts a corresponding spring means is arranged to provide a variable-length strut.
- a corresponding polygonal link works as described above with reference to the polygonal link 64.
- a spring device may be integrated in the first longitudinal strut 72 and / or in the first transverse strut 66.
- a holding device 42 for a tool device (and in particular a cleaning tool device) is provided, in which at least one strut of a polygonal universal element 64 is variable in length.
- This variable-length education is passive.
- the variable length training is achieved by the integration of a spring device 92, 92 '.
- the spring device 92, 92 ' is so hard that for the "normal" application, the corresponding strut with the spring means 92, 92' can be regarded as rigid.
- the normal operation is a normal cleaning operation or a transport operation in which, for example, the cleaning tool 44 is oriented with its envelope plane 60 parallel to a bottom 62.
- variable length education can be used to be active
- the passive spring device 92, 92 ' is used to form the polygonallenker 64 variable in length and thereby achieve a defined pivoting of the tool holder 40 to increase a Rampenwashkeit. Furthermore, the spring means 92, 92 'can be used to achieve an automatic avoidance of obstacles 130 at a working position 114 of the cleaning tool 44 and thereby a
- the length can both increase and decrease in relation to an initial length of the corresponding strut 74. This allows both the Rampenjokeit be increased as well as avoidance when approaching an obstacle 130 is possible.
- the floor cleaning machine 10 has been described in terms of its operation with respect to the polygonallenkers 64 using a cleaning tool 44.
- tillage tools with the inventive solution used, such as mowing tools, snow blades, balance bar, etc.
- FIG. 17 Another exemplary embodiment of a floor cleaning machine, which is shown in a schematic side view in FIG. 17 and designated by 150, comprises a chassis 152.
- a front wheel 154 and a rear wheel 156 are disposed on the chassis 152.
- the front wheel 154 includes a left and a right front wheel and the Rear wheel assembly 156 includes left and right rear wheels. In Figure 17, the left front wheel and the left rear wheel are visible.
- the chassis 152 is formed as a bent handlebar with a front part 158 and a rear part 160. At the front part 158 sits the front wheel 154. At the rear part 160 sits the rear wheel 156. The front part 158 and the rear part 160 are above a Articulated joint 162 connected. The articulation 162 is positioned between the front wheel 154 and the rear wheel 156.
- a pivot axis 164 of the articulated joint 162 is oriented perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the front wheel 154 and the rear wheel 156.
- the pivot axis 164 of the articulated joint 162 is oriented transversely and in particular perpendicular to a flat bottom 166 on which the floor cleaning machine 150 stands.
- a driver's cab 168 is arranged on the front part 158.
- a structure 170 which in particular comprises a dirt collecting container 174, is arranged on the rear part 160 of the chassis 152.
- a motor housing 172 in which a drive motor for the floor cleaning machine 150 is positioned, is arranged on the rear part 160. The floor cleaning machine 150 is then rear-driven.
- the floor cleaning machine 150 comprises a blower device, which is arranged on the structure 170 or in the motor housing 172 and which serves to generate a suction flow.
- a suction tube 176 Into the dirt collecting container 174 leads a suction tube 176.
- a corresponding suction mouth of the suction tube 176 is arranged below the chassis 152 and in particular below the front part 158 in the region of the front wheel 154.
- the generated suction stream draws in coarse dirt, which is collected in the dirt collecting tank 174.
- the chassis 152 has a front end 178 and a rear end 180.
- the front end 178 is located on the front part 158 and the rear end 180 is located on the rear part 160.
- a first tool device and a second tool device are basically the same design as the tool device 38 described above and therefore the same reference numeral is used.
- the tooling means 38 protrude beyond the front end 178 of the chassis. They form a front end of the floor cleaning machine 150.
- the floor cleaning machine 150 has its greatest width on the tool devices 38.
- the tool devices 38 are held on the chassis 152 via respective holding devices. These holding devices are basically the same structure as the holding devices 42. Therefore, the same reference numerals as in the floor cleaning machine 10 is used.
