  • the object of the invention is to provide a floor cleaning machine of the type mentioned at the outset, which has an optimized coarse dirt pick-up function.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that the at least one sweeping element is arranged on the tank device and that at least a partial area of the tank device, on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged, can be moved relative to the floor head during cleaning operation.
  • the at least one sweeping element is positioned at a defined, fixed distance from the floor to be cleaned with respect to a sweeping edge. Due to the movable arrangement of the tank device or the corresponding partial area of the tank device to the floor head, a corresponding fixed distance can be set, even if the diameter of the cleaning roller changes, for example due to wear, or an adjustment to manufacturing tolerances with regard to the cleaning roller or a bearing of the cleaning roller possible.
  • the at least one sweeping element and the tank device are designed in such a way that the at least one sweeping element is at a defined, fixed distance from a floor to be cleaned during a cleaning operation. It has been shown that when this fixed distance is too small, then the at least one sweeping element gets stuck or can get caught, for example, at joints or transitions on the floor to be cleaned. If this distance is too large, dirt particles can be run over and not picked up. Setting a defined fixed distance results in an optimized mode of operation for an operator on the one hand, with the snagging or the like on uneven floors such as joints being reduced, and on the other hand an optimized cleaning result with regard to coarse dirt results.
  • the defined distance from the floor is greater than zero and in particular greater than 0.5 mm and in particular greater than 0.7 mm and in particular is approximately 1 mm.
  • This defined distance is in particular a vertical distance between a sweeping edge of the at least one sweeping element and the ground. This effectively prevents snagging on uneven floors.
  • Corresponding particles can be collected via the at least one sweeping element, fed to the at least one cleaning roller and taken away by it.
  • the at least one sweeping element is arranged on a floor or on a side wall of the tank device.
  • the at least one sweeping element can thus be positioned in a simple manner in relation to the assigned at least one cleaning roller.
  • At least one support element for a floor to be cleaned is arranged on the at least one sweeping element and/or the tank device, which supports the at least one sweeping element at a defined, fixed distance from the floor to be cleaned.
  • the at least one support element contacts the floor to be cleaned. This results in an optimized cleaning result that is easy to use for a user. Due to the mobility of the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged relative to the floor head, this defined distance is (and is) fixed even with different diameters of the at least one cleaning roller.
  • a fixed distance between the at least one sweeping element and the floor to be cleaned is provided by the supporting element or elements.
  • the result is an optimized cleaning effect, even for coarse dirt particles, with the floor cleaning machine being easy to operate.
  • the at least one support element slides over the floor to be cleaned or rolls over it.
  • a plurality of support elements results in an optimized positioning of the at least one sweeping element.
  • the free space between adjacent support elements minimizes the frictional force with respect to the floor to be cleaned or the influence of the support elements on the floor to be cleaned minimized.
  • the arrangement in a row, which is seated, for example, on the at least one sweeping element results in a simple structural design.
  • the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged is mounted in a floating manner on a tank device holder of the floor head. This results in a defined, fixed distance between a sweeping edge of the at least one sweeping element and the floor to be cleaned, even with different diameters of the at least one cleaning roller (e.g. due to wear or manufacturing tolerances).
  • the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged is mounted hanging on the floor head.
  • a corresponding floating mounting with mobility of the tank device or the partial area of the tank device can thus be achieved in a simple manner, in order in turn to set a defined, fixed distance between a sweeping edge of the sweeping element and the ground.
  • a fixed distance between a sweeping edge of the sweeping element and a floor to be cleaned can thus be set in a cleaning operation in a simple manner.
  • the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged is also movably mounted on the floor head in at least one further direction transverse to the z-direction. This results in a further tolerance compensation.
  • the at least one sweeping element is arranged and designed in such a way that it feeds dirt particles to the at least one cleaning roller, such dirt particles being carried along by the at least one cleaning roller as a result of the rotation of the at least one cleaning roller.
  • the at least one sweeping element collects dirt particles to a certain extent and makes them “available” to the at least one cleaning roller, the at least one cleaning roller then in turn transporting the dirt particles so that they can finally be fed to the tank device.
  • the tank device is designed as a tank device for dirty fluid. This is in particular adjacent to the at least one cleaning roller. Dirty fluid (including possibly coarse dirt particles) can then be conveyed directly from the at least one cleaning roller into the tank device. In particular, this promotion can be carried out without a fan.
  • At least one supply channel for dirty fluid is provided from the at least one cleaning roller to a receiving space of the tank device. It can be so effective Detach the dirty fluid from the at least one cleaning roller with a short flow path and couple it into the tank device.
  • a sealing device is advantageously provided, which is arranged on the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is seated, and which seals the at least one feed channel independently of a position of the tank device or the partial area of the tank device relative to the bottom head opposite a coupling element seals for the at least one feed channel.
  • dirty fluid can be detached from the cleaning roller in an optimized manner.
  • a fluid-tight at least one supply channel for supplying dirty fluid into a receiving space of the tank device can be achieved in a simple manner.
  • the tank device can be made movable in order to create a fixed distance between a sweeping edge and a floor to be cleaned, regardless of the diameter of the at least one cleaning roller.
  • the tank device or the partial area of the tank device on which the at least one sweeping element is arranged is power-driven and in particular driven by gravity, or, for example by a spring device, is pressed in the direction of a contact plane of the at least one cleaning roller on a floor to be cleaned. It can thus adjust the position of the tank device itself in a simple manner in order to maintain a fixed distance between a sweeping edge of the sweeping element and the floor to be cleaned, regardless of the diameter of the at least one cleaning roller.
  • a stripping device for stripping dirty fluid from the at least one cleaning roller and for coupling it into the tank device.
  • the at least one cleaning roller can to a certain extent be wrung out by the scraping device in order to be able to remove dirt fluid from it.
  • the at least one cleaning roller has a textile trimming, such as a microfiber trimming, and in particular a scraper of a scraping device is immersed in the textile trimming. This results in an optimized detachment effect for dirty fluid from the at least one cleaning roller.
  • the at least one cleaning roller is designed in two parts and a central drive is provided. This enables cleaning close to the edge.
  • the at least one cleaning roller can be designed and positioned in such a way that it reaches a lateral end of the floor head.
  • a tank device for cleaning liquid and a supply device for cleaning liquid are provided from the tank device to the at least one cleaning roller and/or to a floor to be cleaned.
  • An improved result results due to a wiping effect cleaning result.
  • Dirt can be dissolved on a surface to be cleaned by means of cleaning liquid (which is in particular fresh water or fresh water with an addition of, for example, a surfactant-based cleaning agent).
  • cleaning liquid which is in particular fresh water or fresh water with an addition of, for example, a surfactant-based cleaning agent.
