Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning disk according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for producing the cleaning disk according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • a machine-driven cleaning device and a cleaning disc can be removed, which by means of the cleaning device is set in rotation during the operating state and is lowered in the direction of a surface to be cleaned.
  • the cleaning disc consists entirely of a melamine resin foam material, through which a cleaning layer is formed.
  • the cleaning disc has another layer to stabilize its shape.
  • the cleaning layer made of melamine resin foam faces the surface. Due to the rotation exerted by the cleaning device and the correspondingly used chemical cleaning agents, differently designed substrates can be cleaned.
  • the rotational movements of the cleaning disk create a frictional force between it and the surface, as a result of which the cleaning disk is worn out in the course of its operation. As a result, the thickness of the cleaning disc is reduced in the meantime until it is completely used up.
  • the cleaning device Since the cleaning device has a height-adjustable drive device which is drive-coupled to the cleaning disk, the loss of thickness of the cleaning disk can be permanently compensated. Nonetheless, the cleaning disc is to be exchanged from a certain thickness and to be replaced by a new cleaning disc.
  • Such cleaning discs made of a melamine resin foam have extremely high cleaning power for hard surfaces, for example tiles, fine stoneware, natural stone, parquet or plastic coverings. Consequently, by means of the cleaning disk, cleaning devices can be used which have a low drive force or torque for the rotation of the cleaning disk, without the desired cleaning effect being impaired.
  • the cleaning disk made of a textile material or other other materials cannot achieve the cleaning effect of a cleaning disk made of melamine resin foam.
  • the cleaning disks made of a material other than melamine resin foam are, however, much more cost-effective to produce and can be used for cleaning devices with a low drive power. Since the frictional forces of cleaning disks made of a melamine resin foam are much higher than with textile cleaning disks, the cleaning devices often malfunction due to these overloads. This significantly hinders the workflow, since such downtimes occur unplanned and are protracted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a cleaning disk of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated, that is to say that the service life of the cleaning disk is increased without its cleaning effect being impaired.
  • the frictional force that is present between the cleaning disk and a surface to be cleaned should be precisely specified or predetermined by the material properties of the cleaning disk according to the invention, so that damage to the surface a surface to be cleaned are avoided by improper use of the cleaning device with such a cleaning disc.
  • the reduced frictional force should make the use of cleaning devices with a low driving force while maintaining the cleaning effect.
  • the cut materials can also be reused, because the protruding on the outer circumference of the cleaning disk removed from the printing cylinder are made of an identical material, namely polyester non-woven material, so that the residues that arise there are used for the further production of new cleaning discs can be used.
  • a constant pressure force on the particles trapped inside the pressure cylinder and pieces act, a dimensionally stable fabric or structure with any outer contours or cross-sections, e.g. round, rectangular, elliptical or the like.
  • the protrusions on the outer circumference of the entire cleaning disk resulting from the existing error tolerances can subsequently be cut off with the aid of a knife or some other tool in such a way that a cleaning disk with a predetermined diameter is formed.
  • the bore in the center of the cleaning disk can also be configured individually, so that the cleaning disks produced in this way can advantageously be used for a large number of different cleaning devices.
  • the cleaning effect of the cleaning disk and its frictional force can be predetermined.
  • the method steps for producing a cleaning disk 1 can be seen, which can be used in particular for a machine-driven cleaning device.
  • the cleaning disk 1 is driven to rotate about its longitudinal axis 2 by the cleaning device in the operating state, or the cleaning device generates oscillating vibrations through which, in particular, rectangular cleaning disks 1 exert a movement that produces a good cleaning effect.
  • Such cleaning devices are known as oscillator eccentric devices.
  • the cleaning disk 1 consists of a large number of melamine resin foam particles 6 and polyester or polyamide non-woven pieces 11, which are mixed in a mixer 12 to form a fabric 6, 11 that is as homogeneous as possible.
  • the fabric 6, 11 mixed in the mixer 12 should have an arrangement of particles 6 and pieces 11 that is as uniform as possible.
  • an adhesive 7 is uniformly supplied in the form of drops, so that the surfaces of the particles 6 and the pieces 11 are wetted with the drops of the adhesive 7 and consequently adhere to one another due to the adhesive properties of the adhesive 7.
  • a fabric composed of melamine resin foam particles 6 and polyester non-woven pieces 11 is produced in the mixer 12.
  • FIG. 2 it can be seen that the fabric 6, 11 produced in this way in the mixer 12 is transferred into a pressure cylinder 13.
  • the printing cylinder 13 has a predetermined height or length and is usually round in shape. Any other cross-sectional shape for the printing cylinder 13 is possible, for example rectangular, elliptical or the like.
  • the printing plate 18 is advanced, for example, by a threaded spindle 19 in the direction of the interior of the printing cylinder 13.
  • the filled tissue 6, 11 is completely enclosed in the printing cylinder 13 and the printing plate 18 exerts a compressive force F on the tissue 6, 11 present in the printing cylinder 13.
  • This embodiment of the printing cylinder 13 is an exemplary embodiment; any further cross-sectional shape for the printing cylinder 13 is possible in order to adapt the cleaning disk 1 to the existing purposes.
  • the fabric made of particles 6 and pieces 11 can be removed from the printing cylinder 13 according to FIG Figure 4 can be removed. Due to the predetermined geometry of the printing cylinder 13, a cylindrical contour is created which has a length and diameter corresponding to the printing cylinder 13. Since the heights of the cleaning disk 1 to be used can be different, the corresponding separated cleaning disks 1 can be separated from this cylindrical contour by means of a knife.
  • the carrier layer 4 as the back material consists of a polyester non-woven material or a Velcro material.
  • the diameter of the carrier layer 4 is to be adapted to the desired diameter of the fabric formation 6, 11, so that the respective protrusions 15 by means of a knife 16 according to the right side of the Figure 5 are separated. As a result, the outer circumferences of the fabric 6, 11 and the carrier layer 4 run in alignment with one another.
  • the bore 3 of the fabric 6, 11 and the carrier layer 4 must be adapted to the specified diameter of the cleaning devices.
  • the carrier layer 4 faces the drive pulley of the cleaning device and is operatively connected to it.
  • the fabrics consisting of the melamine resin foam particles 6 and the polyester non-woven or Velcro material pieces 11 face the substrate.
  • the cleaning disc 1 now consists of a fabric made of particles 6 and pieces 11 made of different materials, the cleaning properties can be adapted to the particular nature of the surface.
  • the proportion of melamine resin foam particles 6 can be between 10% and 90%.
  • the polyester non-woven pieces 11 are in a corresponding manner according to Figure 1 filled into the mixer 12.
  • the dimensional stability of the cleaning disk 1 is achieved by the carrier layer 4.
