Description

Field of engineering

The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular for a wet cleaning device, with a housing, a motor-driven oscillating plate and a releasably connectable to the oscillating plate support plate for receiving a cleaning element.

In addition, the invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular wet cleaning device, with such a cleaning device.

State of the art

Cleaning devices and cleaning devices of the aforementioned type are known in the art.

The cleaning devices are used in particular for cleaning hard floor coverings, for example tile floors or parquet floors, in particular in the household sector. The cleaning devices may, for example, be designed as attachments for detachable connection to a base unit of a cleaning appliance. The base unit provides, in particular, a device for pushing the cleaning device over a surface to be cleaned, an electrical supply, if necessary in addition a suction fan, and more. The cleaning devices have a cleaning element acting on a surface to be cleaned, for example in the form of a textile cleaning cloth. The cleaning element is moved by means of a vibrating plate, wherein a sliding displacement performed by a user of the cleaning device during a usual cleaning operation (forward and backward displacement) of the movement of the vibrating plate and thus also the movement of the cleaning element is superimposed. The cleaning element is mounted on a support plate, which in turn can be arranged on the swing plate so that the support plate is firmly connected to the swing plate and the swinging movement takes place with. The oscillating plate is, for example, circularly curved by an electromotive eccentric drive.

A cleaning device of the aforementioned type shows, for example, the publication EP 2 578 131 B1 , In order to arrange the carrier plate together with a cleaning element arranged thereon on the oscillating plate, the carrier plate and the oscillating plate have corresponding mounting rails. For connecting and disconnecting the fixing rails, it is required that a user lifts the cleaning device from a surface to be cleaned and shifts the support plate parallel to an extension plane of the swinging plate. It is necessary that the user guides the carrier plate with his hand.

A disadvantage of the known in the prior art cleaning devices is thus that the user must take the carrier plate with his hand. This leads to contact with cleaning fluid, dirt and / or dirt.

Summary of the invention

Based on the aforementioned prior art, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a cleaning device in which the carrier plate can be removed from the vibrating plate without the user has to manually attack on the support plate and / or the vibrating plate. The same applies to the attachment of the support plate on the swing plate.

To achieve the above object, the invention proposes that the cleaning device has a movably mounted on the housing actuating device for separating the support plate from the oscillating plate, wherein the actuating device is displaceable due to actuation against the support plate to release them from the vibrating plate.

According to the invention, a mechanism is now proposed with a relative to the support plate movable actuator which exerts a force on the support plate and is adapted to release the support plate of the swing plate, for example, by corresponding fastening means of the support plate and the swing plate are separated. The user no longer has to manually attack the carrier plate in order to release it from the vibrating plate. Rather, he actuates the actuator, which then takes over the separation of the carrier plate. The actuating device may be designed in the manner of a pivotable lever or a linearly displaceable actuating element, wherein a portion of the actuating device preferably engages there on the carrier plate, where this has corresponding fastening means to the oscillating plate. Particularly preferably, the fastening means of the support plate and the oscillating plate is associated with a spring element, which additionally acts on the support plate when applying a force by means of the actuating device with a restoring force of the spring element, whereby the detachment of the support plate is facilitated.

In particular, it is proposed that the actuating device is a rocker pivotally mounted on a pivot center, which is pivotable against the support plate on the one hand with a first rocker vane against the housing and on the other hand with a second rocker vane. The actuating device is thus a rocker which can rotate about a pivoting center. The rocker wings of the rocker act on the one hand against that of the Oscillating plate to be solved carrier plate and on the other hand against the housing, which serves as an abutment for the pivoting movement. Upon actuation of the actuator pivots about the pivot center and causes the loading of the carrier plate with a force of the second rocker blade. In this case, the first rocker blade is supported against the housing of the cleaning device, so that the corresponding force can be applied by the leverage. It is recommended to design the rocker wings of the actuator with a length that allows a comfortable and easy detachment of the support plate by a user.

In particular, it is proposed that a wheel of the cleaning device is rotatably mounted on the actuating device. In particular, the wheel may be arranged on a rocker vane of the pivotally mounted rocker. The actuating device or the rocker blade in this case has an axis of rotation about which the wheel of the cleaning device can rotate. The wheel can be a motor-driven wheel of the cleaning device or even a passively co-rotating wheel, for example for a mere transport of the cleaning device.

Particularly preferably, it is provided that the wheel is mounted on a pivotable against the housing first rocker wings of the rocker. In particular, the wheel can be supported against the housing upon actuation of the actuating device. The arrangement of the wheel on the first rocker vane, which is pivoted upon actuation of the actuating device against the housing, the wheel is supported in the actuation of the actuating device against the housing, so that the opposite second rocker wing can be displaced against the support plate.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the actuator in an operation for releasing the support plate against the restoring force of a Spring element is displaced. The spring element may in particular be arranged on a pivoting center of the actuating device and / or between the housing and the actuating device. The spring element associated with the actuating device ensures a preferred position of the actuating device relative to the housing of the cleaning device. The preferred position here is a position in which the actuator does not press against the support plate, so that it remains firmly connected to the swing plate. When the actuating device is displaced against the restoring force of the spring element, namely by the actuation of the actuating device, a force is exerted on the carrier plate, which ultimately leads to a detachment from the vibrating plate. The spring element may be, for example, a torsion spring, which engages in the region of the pivot center on the one hand on the actuating device and on the other hand on the housing of the cleaning device. Furthermore, the spring element can also be arranged outside the pivoting center, for example at an end region of a rocker blade facing away from the pivoting center. For this purpose, for example, spring elements such as coil springs, leaf springs or others are suitable. The spring force of the spring element is dimensioned such that it bears the dead weight of the cleaning device or of the cleaning device having cleaning device, but springs in with additional force applied to the actuator by a user against the restoring force. The restoring force of the spring element is thus designed so that this springs in only with additional application of force by the user.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the housing has an actuating element for displacing the actuating device against the carrier plate. In principle, provision may be made for the actuating device to be displaceable relative to the housing of the cleaning device, for example in the sense of a displaceable button or a flexible housing partial area. According to a preferred embodiment, however, it is proposed that the Actuator is formed on the housing tread surface for a user of the cleaning device. The tread is an integrally formed with the housing portion, which as well as the housing is designed to be rigid and not displaced and / or deformed with a force applied by the user relative to other portions of the housing. Rather, the actuating element is designed as a marking of a partial region of the housing, which indicates to the user a location of the housing on which the user has to apply a force for displacing the actuating device. The force on the actuator is not carried out directly by the actuator, but rather in that the force acting on the actuator causes a displacement of the housing of the cleaning device relative to the actuator, which in turn, the actuator is displaced against the support plate, namely preferably by the Swivel movement of the previously proposed rocker with two rocker wings.

In particular, it is provided that the actuating element is positioned vertically relative to a tilted to be cleaned surface state of the cleaning device on a rocker wing of the actuator, so that the actuator is pivotable relative to the housing due to an actuation of the actuating element, wherein the actuating device in particular supported on the surface to be cleaned. The tilted state of the cleaning device may particularly advantageously be a state which is used when the cleaning device is not in use. In this so-called sack truck position, the cleaning device is tilted when it is currently not in operation and switched off and / or stowed at short notice or for a long time. In the tilted state of the cleaning device, the cleaning element and / or the support plate are usually lifted from a surface to be cleaned, so that there is a space for the separation movement of the Carrier plate of the swing plate results. During the pivoting movement of the actuating device, the carrier plate thus has sufficient clearance between the vibrating plate and a bottom surface in order to fall off the vibrating plate without the user having to do anything. In addition, only the tilted state of the cleaning device allows a force on the actuator, since only then the actuator is arranged vertically above a rocker vane of the actuator. As long as the cleaning device is still oriented in a usual working position, the actuating element is located with respect to the vertical direction next to the rocker sash, so that a force can not be applied, because, for example, the force introduced by the user via the actuating element acts on a pivoting center of the actuating device , which in turn does not cause any pivoting movement. Due to the application of force in the tilted state of the cleaning device, the entire housing of the cleaning device is pressed against the rocker blade associated with the actuating element, in particular against a wheel arranged there, in the direction of the surface to be cleaned, in particular stepped down by a user. The preferably arranged on the rocker arm wheel moves together with the rocker wing, preferably against the restoring force of the spring element arranged there against the housing, wherein the rocker wing rotates about the pivot center of the rocker. The release function of the carrier plate is thus operated in total by a vertically movably mounted and sprung actuating element, in particular with the participation of a wheel arranged there of the cleaning device.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the cleaning device has a distance element projecting below the housing relative to an orientation of the cleaning device during a customary cleaning operation, wherein a projecting length of the spacer element is dimensioned such that the spacer element is moved over a distance during the cleaning operation Peripheral surface of a wheel, but does not protrude beyond the support plate. The spacer thus has in the vertical direction (relative to an orientation of the cleaning device during a conventional cleaning operation) on a length which is dimensioned so that the spacer element between the peripheral surface of the wheel and the surface to be cleaned facing side of the support plate ends. During the cleaning operation, the spacer element thus does not touch the surface to be cleaned. During the cleaning operation, only the support plate or the cleaning element arranged thereon is in contact with the surface to be cleaned. The spacer may be a separate support of the housing. However, according to a preferred embodiment, the spacing element can, for example, also be a suction mouth arranged on the housing, which takes on the task of spacing. The spacer prevents the actuator and / or the wheel disposed thereon from touching the surface in a non-tilted condition of the cleaner. Thus, the carrier plate can be released only in a reliable state of the cleaning device of the vibrating plate. It is thus an inherent security against incorrect operation of the cleaning device created without separate state detections or operating locks are necessary. The spacer prevents the housing from being displaced relative to the surface to be cleaned, at least to such an extent that the actuator can not pivot relative to the housing, thus exerting a force on the support plate.

Finally, it is proposed that the wheel arranged on the actuating device is arranged perpendicular to a plane of the carrier plate receiving the cleaning element next to the carrier plate with respect to a viewing direction, so that the wheel can be set against the surface to be cleaned when tilting the cleaning device. The location "next to the support plate" means here in particular with respect to a usual direction of movement of the cleaning device behind the carrier plate. Usually, the cleaning device is pushed away during a cleaning operation in an alternating forward and backward movement of a user of him or pulled to himself. The tilted position of the cleaning device thus corresponds to a position in which the cleaning device is tilted towards the user, in particular, this is a direction which is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of the support plate or the oscillating plate. Based on a conventional forward movement of the cleaning device, the wheel is thus arranged behind the support plate, in such a way that the actuating element in the tilted position of the cleaning device preferably lies vertically above the wheel arranged on the actuating device.

In addition to the cleaning device described above, the invention also proposes a cleaning device, in particular a wet cleaning device, with such a cleaning device. The cleaning device may in principle be any cleaning device that is exclusively or u.a. is suitable for cleaning a surface, in particular performs a suction cleaning and / or wet cleaning. These include, on the one hand, hand-held cleaning appliances, but also self-cleaning cleaning appliances, such as, in particular, cleaning robots. In addition, in addition to the usual floor cleaning equipment for cleaning a floor, for example, including cleaning equipment for cleaning overground surfaces includes, for example. For cleaning windows, shelves, baseboards, steps and the like.

In addition, all mentioned in relation to the cleaning device features apply analogously for the proposed cleaning device.

Description of the embodiments

Fig. 1 shows a cleaning device 15, which is equipped here as a hand-held wet cleaning device with a base unit 16 and designed as a front attachment cleaning device 1. The cleaning device 1 is detachably held on the base unit 16. The base unit 16 has a handle 17 which, for example, is telescopically designed here, so that a user of the cleaning appliance 15 can adapt the length of the handle 17 to his body size. Furthermore, a handle 18, on which the user guides the cleaning device 15 during a typical wiping operation, ie, sliding over a surface to be cleaned, is arranged on the handle 17. During the wiping operation, the user usually guides the cleaning device 15 in the opposite direction of movement over the surface to be cleaned. He pushes the cleaning device 15 alternately away from him or pulls this to himself. On the handle 18, a switch 19 is arranged, which serves, for example, the on and off of an electric motor of the cleaning device 15. The electric motor is powered by an electric cable of the cleaning device 15 with energy. On an upper side of a housing 2 of the cleaning device 1, an actuating element 13 is provided, via which a user of the cleaning device 15 can detach a carrier plate 4 with a cleaning element 5 from a vibrating plate 3 of the cleaning device 1. The actuating element 13 here is a tread surface on which a user can exert force by means of his foot or by means of his hand.

The cleaning device 1 has the in Fig. 2 shown combination of a swing plate 3, a support plate 4 and a cleaning element 5. The oscillating plate 3 has central on its illustrated top a rotational axis receptacle 23 for a drive axle of an electric motor. The drive axle is used in combination with an eccentric on the one hand for fixing the oscillating plate 3 to the cleaning device 1, and on the other hand for causing oscillating oscillatory movements of the oscillating plate 3. With respect to the eccentric drive of the oscillating plate 3 is on the publication EP 2 578 131 B1 directed. The vibrating plate 3 is preferably driven at an oscillation frequency of, for example, 1,000 rpm to 2,000 rpm. This oscillatory movement of the oscillating plate 3 relative to the housing 2 of the cleaning device 1 is superimposed during a wiping operation with a displacement of the cleaning device 15 over the surface to be cleaned by a user. Both movements, ie both the manual displacement movement and the oscillating movement of the oscillating plate 3, take place in the same plane, namely the plane of oscillation of the oscillating plate 3.

The cleaning element 5 is a partially elastic trained cleaning cloth, in particular a microfiber cloth. This can by means of fastening means 22, here Velcro fasteners, to corresponding fastening means 22 (see Fig. 5 ) of the support plate 4 are attached.

For fixing the carrier plate 4 to the oscillating plate 3, these corresponding fastening means 20, 21, wherein in each case a fastening means 20 of the oscillating plate 3 with a fastening means 21 of the support plate 4 is connectable to a pair of fasteners. The fastening means 20 of the oscillating plate 3 is here, for example, a relative to the oscillating plate 3 displaceable latching element. The locking element is guided within a guide device and acted upon by the restoring force of a spring element (not shown). The support plate 4 has, corresponding to the attachment means 20 of the oscillating plate 3, an attachment means 21 having an undercut. The fastening means 20, 21 of the oscillating plate 3 and the support plate 4 are in this respect formed corresponding to one another, as the Fastening means 20 of the vibrating plate 3 slides in connection with the support plate 4 along the contour of the fastening means 21 of the support plate 4 and finally following the contour, behind the fastening means 21 engages. In this case, preferably, the restoring force of the spring element against the fastening means 21. The vibrating plate 3 and the support plate 4, for the purpose of correct positioning of the support plate 4 on the oscillating plate 3 further preferably not shown corresponding centering.

The FIGS. 3 and 4 show the cleaning device 1 in a perspective view, wherein Fig. 3 shows an assembled state of the cleaning device 1 and Fig. 4 an exploded view. In each case, the housing 2 of the cleaning device 1, which essentially surrounds the oscillating plate 3, the carrier plate 4 and the cleaning element 5 arranged on the carrier plate 4, can be seen. The support plate 4 protrudes with the cleaning element 5 so far under the housing 2 of the cleaning device 1 that the cleaning device 1 rests during a cleaning operation on the support plate 4 and the cleaning element 5. The support plate 4 with the cleaning element 5 is in the orientation of the cleaning device 1 shown with the entire weight of the cleaning device 1 and the cleaning device 15 on a surface to be cleaned. During operation, a force acting uniformly with respect to the surface acts on the cleaning surface, so that there is a uniform contact pressure substantially over the entire surface plane of the carrier plate 4.

On the housing 2, an actuating device 6 is rotatably mounted on a pivot center 7. The pivoting center 7 is fixedly arranged on the housing 2. The actuating device 6 here has the shape of a rocker with two rocker wings 8, 9, namely a first rocker blade 8 and a second rocker blade 9. On the first rocker wing 8 is rotatable about a rotation axis 10, a wheel 11 of the cleaning device 1 is mounted. While in Fig. 3 shown working position, the wheel 11 has no contact with the surface to be cleaned, but the cleaning device 1 is only with the support plate 4 and the cleaning element 5 on the surface. The actuator 6 is in a preferred position in which the wheel 11 is lifted from the surface to be cleaned. Between the first rocker blade 8 of the actuating device 6 and the housing 2 is a spring element 12, which keeps the first rocker blade 8 at a distance from the housing 2 and the surface to be cleaned, so that the second rocker blade 9 does not touch the support plate 4. The second rocker vane 9 has a functional element 24 which is displaced against the carrier plate 4 when the actuating device 6 is pivoted about the pivot center 7. In this case, the functional element 24 engages through a recess of the vibrating plate 3 and presses against the support plate 4, so that it can be released from the vibrating plate 3. In this case, the corresponding fastening means 20, 21 of the support plate 4 and the swing plate 3 are separated from each other.

Fig. 5 shows the cleaning device 1 in a perspective view from below. The cleaning device 1 is shown with a mounted on the swing plate 3 support plate 4, but without attached cleaning element 5. It can be seen on the surface to be cleaned facing side of the support plate 4, the fastening means 22 for fixing the cleaning element 5. These fasteners 22 are here Parts of a Velcro fastener. Based on a conventional forward movement of the cleaning device 1 during a cleaning operation, an elongated spacer element 14 is formed on the housing 2 behind the carrier plate 4. This spacer element 14 is at the same time here a suction mouth, through which air laden with suction material can be sucked into the cleaning device 15 by means of a motor / blower unit. The spacer 14 is used during the usual cleaning operation for spacing the wheel 11 from the surface to be cleaned, so that the wheel 11 can not touch the surface to be cleaned in the illustration shown. In the figure, further, the actuator 6 with the two rocker wings 8, 9 can be seen, according to this embodiment at the pivot center 7 designed as a torsion spring element 12 is arranged, which holds the actuator 6 in a preferred position in which the wheel 11 of the surface to be cleaned is lifted and the functional element 24 of the second rocker blade 9 does not press against the carrier plate 4. As can be seen, engages the functional element 24 mounted on the swing plate 3 support plate 4 behind the support plate 4 while a recess of the swing plate 3. In order to release the support plate 4, starting from the illustrated latched state of the swing plate 3, the user tilts Cleaning device 1, starting from the in Fig. 3 shown working position in a tilted relative to the surface to be cleaned position, a so-called sack truck position (see Fig. 8 ). The support plate 4 is lifted with the cleaning element 5 disposed thereon of the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning device 1 is with the wheels 11 on the surface to be cleaned. This is the in Fig. 8 This makes it possible to pivot by means of a step on the housing 2 of the cleaning device 1, namely on the actuating element 13, the actuator 6 within the housing 2, whereby the on the first rocker wing. 8 the actuator 6 arranged wheel 11 presses against the support plate 4 and displaced relative to the vibrating plate 3. By the displacement of the support plate 4, a pair of fastening means 20, 21 is released. In this case, the bias of a spring element supports a loosening of the fastening means 20, 21, so that the support plate 4 then tilts from the swing plate 3 on the surface to be cleaned.

The FIGS. 6 and 7 show portions of the cleaning device 1 shown below, wherein the cleaning device 1 in Fig. 6 has a arranged on the swing plate 3 support plate 4, and wherein in Fig. 7 the support plate 4 is removed and the view of the swing plate 3 is released. As can be seen by comparing the two figures, engages the functional element 24 of the actuator 6 in the in Fig. 6 illustrated state of the cleaning device 1 behind the support plate 4, whereby the functional element 24 is covered for the most part by the support plate 4. In the illustration according to Fig. 7 in which the carrier plate 4 is removed, the view of the functional element 24 is released. It can be seen that the functional element 24 engages in a recess of the oscillating plate 3 and upon pivoting of the actuator 6 about the pivot center 7, ie towards the viewer, against the arranged on the oscillating plate 3 carrier plate 4 can act to separate them.

The FIGS. 8 and 9 In order to release the support plate 4 from the oscillating plate 3, the cleaning device 1 is tilted as shown in the sack cart position, wherein the support plate 4 is lifted with the cleaning element 5 disposed thereon of the surface to be cleaned , As a result, the wheel 11 arranged on the first rocker blade 8 comes into contact with the surface. In this position, the tread surface marking actuator 13 relative to a vertical direction (indicated as arrow) located just above the axis of rotation 10 of the wheel 11. In this position, the force of a user who presses against the actuating element 13 of the housing 2, on the wheel 11 and the first rocker blade 8 of the actuator 6 act. Due to the force, the entire housing 2 of the cleaning device 1 is pressed down on one side against the wheel 11 assigned to the corner of the housing 2 to the surface to be cleaned. The arranged on the first rocker wing 8 wheel 11 thereby displaced together with the first rocker wing 8 against the force of arranged on the pivot center 7 spring element 12 about the pivot center 7 against the housing 2. The opposite second rocker wing 9 is accordingly, while following the same direction of rotation about the pivot center 7, against the support plate 4, ie in the direction of to be cleaned Area, relocated. As a result, the support plate 4 is pushed away from the swing plate 3. This situation is in Fig. 9 shown. It can be seen that the functional element 24 of the second rocker vane 9 has moved out below the housing 2 so that it could come into contact with the carrier plate 4.

Fig. 10 shows the cleaning device 1, which has a arranged on the housing 2 spacer element 14. The spacer element 14 projects beyond a lower edge of the housing 2, in such a way that the spacer element 14 protrudes beyond the wheel 11 in the illustrated working position of the cleaning device, but does not protrude beyond the carrier plate 4. Here, the spacer element 14 is, for example, formed by a telescopic suction mouth of the housing 2, which assumes the function of a spacer 14 in the collapsed end position. The spacer 14 prevents the pivoting of the actuator 6, ie the removal of the support plate 4 of the oscillating plate 3 during an inoperative condition. Only when the spacer 14 is lifted from the surface to be cleaned, which is the case in the sack truck position, the actuator 6 can be pivoted about the pivot center 7. As long as the spacer 14 rests on the surface to be cleaned, this prevents the wheel 11 can touch the surface, which in turn prevents the pivoting movement of the actuator 6.
