Maquina limpiadora de suelosFloor cleaning machine

La presente invencion hace referencia a una maquina limpiadora de suelos.The present invention refers to a floor cleaning machine.

Maquinas limpiadoras de suelos son conocidas, las cuales estan equipadas con un cepillo que rota alrededor de un eje vertical y estan provistas de al menos una boquilla para dispensar liquido de limpieza.Floor cleaning machines are known, which are equipped with a brush that rotates around a vertical axis and is provided with at least one nozzle for dispensing cleaning liquid.

Un ejemplo es dado en US-A-4805256.An example is given in US-A-4805256.

Ademas, estas maquinas tienen una rasqueta, la cual esta dispuesta en una posicion trasera respecto del cepillo a lo largo de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante de la maquina y se desliza en contacto con el suelo, permitiendo recoger el liquido de limpieza y la suciedad removida por la accion del cepillo de modo que puedan recogerse por una entrada, asociada con la maquina, para dejar el suelo seco y limpio durante el movimiento hacia delante de la maquina.In addition, these machines have a scraper, which is arranged in a rear position with respect to the brush along the direction of movement forward of the machine and slides in contact with the ground, allowing to collect the cleaning liquid and dirt removed by the action of the brush so that they can be collected by an entrance, associated with the machine, to leave the floor dry and clean during the forward movement of the machine.

Este tipo de maquinas sufre el inconveniente de que cuando es movida hacia atras, es decir, en la direccion opuesta respecto de su direccion de movimiento normal hacia delante, deja el suelo humedo, puesto que la rasqueta es incapaz en esta situacion de recoger el liquido de limpieza liberado por la boquilla dispensadora.This type of machines suffers from the inconvenience that when it is moved backwards, that is, in the opposite direction with respect to its direction of normal movement forward, it leaves the ground moist, since the scraper is unable in this situation to collect the liquid of cleaning released by the dispensing nozzle.

En particular, la estructura de soporte 2, en su lado dirigido hacia el suelo 100, soporta un cepillo 4 que puede ser actuado mediante medios motor 5 con un movimiento rotatorio alrededor de un eje de rotacion 4a que durante el uso esta dispuesto sustancialmente de forma vertical.In particular, the support structure 2, on its side directed towards the floor 100, supports a brush 4 that can be operated by means of motor 5 with a rotary movement around a rotation axis 4a which during use is substantially arranged vertical.

En particular, el cepillo 4 puede por ejemplo, estar constituido por un disco 6a que puede ser acoplado separablemente al eje de actuacion de los medios motor 5. Cerdas 6b estan ancladas al disco 6a y estan disenadas para actuar mediante friccion en el suelo 100.In particular, the brush 4 may, for example, be constituted by a disk 6a that can be detachably coupled to the axis of actuation of the motor means 5. Sows 6b are anchored to the disc 6a and are designed to act by friction on the ground 100.

Opcionalmente, una o mas boquillas para dispensar un lfquido de limpieza pueden asociarse con la estructura de soporte 2.Optionally, one or more nozzles for dispensing a cleaning liquid can be associated with the support structure 2.

Una rasqueta 7 esta asociada ademas con la estructura de soporte 2 y esta localizada en la posicion posterior respecto del cepillo 4 a lo largo de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3 de la maquina.A scraper 7 is also associated with the support structure 2 and is located in the rear position with respect to the brush 4 along the direction of forward movement 3 of the machine.

En particular, segun el ejemplo ilustrado, la rasqueta 7 esta formada como es habitual, por un cuerpo de soporte de tipo arco 7a que se extiende alrededor de una porcion del cepillo 4 y al que una o mas laminas flexibles 7b, destinadas para deslizarse en suelo 100, estan acopladas.In particular, according to the illustrated example, the scraper 7 is formed as usual, by an arc-type support body 7a that extends around a portion of the brush 4 and to which one or more flexible sheets 7b, intended to slide in 100 floor, are coupled.

Segun la invencion, la rasqueta 7 esta montada de modo que pueda rotar alrededor de un eje de oscilacion que esta sustancialmente paralelo a, o mas preferiblemente, sustancialmente coincide con el eje de rotacion 4a del cepillo 4.According to the invention, the scraper 7 is mounted so that it can rotate about an axis of oscillation that is substantially parallel to, or more preferably, substantially coincides with the axis of rotation 4a of the brush 4.

Tambien, segun la invencion, hay medios de conexion 8 que pueden ser activados a voluntad y estan adaptados para asociar integralmente la rasqueta 7 con el cepillo 4 de modo que la rasqueta 7 pueda girarse por el cepilloAlso, according to the invention, there are connection means 8 that can be activated at will and are adapted to integrally associate the doctor blade 7 with the brush 4 so that the doctor blade 7 can be rotated by the brush

alrededor de su eje de oscilacion para mover la rasqueta 7 desde la posicion detras del cepillo 4, a lo largo de laaround its axis of oscillation to move the scraper 7 from the position behind the brush 4, along the

direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3 de la maquina, a una posicion diametralmente opuesta en la que estadirection of movement 3 forward of the machine, to a diametrically opposite position in which it is

dispuesta en la practica delante de dicho cepillo, de nuevo a lo largo de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3 de laarranged in practice in front of said brush, again along the direction of forward movement 3 of the

maquina.machine.

De esta manera, una vez que la rasqueta 3 ha sido movida a dicha posicion delantera, es posible mover la estructura de soporte 2 en la direccion opuesta respecto de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3, es decir, hacia detras o en reverso, con la rasqueta 7 siempre en una posicion detras del cepillo 4 y por lo tanto capaz de actuar en el suelo 100 despues del cepillo 4 para ser capaz de recoger efectivamente el lfquido de limpieza emitido por las boquillas dispensadoras y la suciedad removida por el cepillo 4, dejando el suelo 100 seco y limpio.In this way, once the scraper 3 has been moved to said front position, it is possible to move the support structure 2 in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of movement forward 3, that is, backwards or backwards, with the scraper 7 always in a position behind the brush 4 and therefore capable of acting on the floor 100 after the brush 4 to be able to effectively collect the cleaning liquid emitted by the dispensing nozzles and the dirt removed by the brush 4, leaving the floor 100 dry and clean.

Ventajosamente, los medios de conexion 8 pueden ser activados inclinando la estructura de soporte 2, levantando su parte delantera 2a del suelo 100 con respecto a su parte trasera 2b, tal y como se muestra en particular en la figura 8.Advantageously, the connection means 8 can be activated by tilting the support structure 2, lifting its front part 2a from the floor 100 with respect to its rear part 2b, as shown in particular in Figure 8.

Por ejemplo, esta inclinacion de la estructura de soporte 2 puede conseguirse por el usuario utilizando como palanca un mango alargado 20 que se eleva desde la parte posterior 2b de la estructura de soporte y pivotando sobre las ruedas 21, convenientemente asociadas con la parte trasera 2b de la estructura de soporte 2, en una posicion que se encuentra detras del montaje constituido por el cepillo 4 y por la rasqueta 7.For example, this inclination of the support structure 2 can be achieved by the user using as an lever an elongated handle 20 that rises from the rear 2b of the support structure and pivoting on the wheels 21, conveniently associated with the rear part 2b of the support structure 2, in a position that is behind the assembly constituted by the brush 4 and the scraper 7.

En particular, al usuario, empujando hacia abajo en el extremo de agarre 20a del mando 20, puede rotar la estructura de soporte 2 alrededor de la region de contacto con el suelo 100 de su parte posterior, constituida por las ruedas 21 para levantar del suelo su parte delantera 2a respecto de su parte trasera 2b, tal y como se muestra por ejemplo en la figura 3 y en la figura 8.In particular, the user, by pushing down on the grip end 20a of the control 20, can rotate the support structure 2 around the region of contact with the floor 100 of its rear part, constituted by the wheels 21 for lifting off the ground its front part 2a with respect to its rear part 2b, as shown for example in figure 3 and in figure 8.

Ventajosamente, medios de detencion tambien estan provistos que estan adoptados para detener la rotacion realizada por la rasqueta 7 integralmente con el cepillo 4 cuando la rasqueta 7 esta localizada en la posicion delantera, impidiendo que continue mas alla en rotacion.Advantageously, stopping means are also provided that are adopted to stop the rotation performed by the scraper 7 integrally with the brush 4 when the scraper 7 is located in the forward position, preventing it from continuing further in rotation.

Por ejemplo, los medios de detencion pueden estar constituidos por una superficie de descanso, la cual esta formada en la parte delantera 2b de la estructura de soporte 2 y esta destinada para ser enganchada mediante tope por una porcion de la rasqueta 7.For example, the stopping means may be constituted by a rest surface, which is formed in the front part 2b of the support structure 2 and is intended to be engaged by a stop portion of the scraper 7.

Tal y como se muestra, la rasqueta 7 esta convenientemente conectada a un extremo de un brazo de soporte 9 que esta pivotado, en su otro extremo, a la estructura de soporte 2 alrededor del eje de oscilacion de la rasqueta 7.As shown, the scraper 7 is conveniently connected to one end of a support arm 9 which is pivoted, at its other end, to the support structure 2 around the axis of oscillation of the scraper 7.

Ventajosamente, los medios de conexion 8 comprenden un cuerpo de friccion 10 que esta soportado por el brazo de soporte 9 y esta adoptado para hacer contacto con el cepillo 4, siguiendo a la activacion de los medios de conexion 8 para acoplar integralmente el brazo de soporte 9 y por lo tanto, la rasqueta 7 con respecto al cepillo.Advantageously, the connection means 8 comprise a friction body 10 that is supported by the support arm 9 and is adopted to make contact with the brush 4, following the activation of the connection means 8 to integrally engage the support arm 9 and therefore, the scraper 7 with respect to the brush.

Mas particularmente, el brazo de soporte puede rotar respecto de la estructura de soporte 2 tambien alrededor de un eje de articulacion 9a que esta sustancialmente perpendicular a dicho eje de oscilacion de la rasqueta 7 con el fin de permitir al cuerpo de friccion 10 pasar desde una condicion inactiva, mostrada en particular en la figura 2, en la queMore particularly, the support arm can rotate with respect to the support structure 2 also around an articulation axis 9a that is substantially perpendicular to said axis of oscillation of the scraper 7 in order to allow the friction body 10 to pass from a inactive condition, shown in particular in Figure 2, in which

esta desenganchado del cepillo 4, cuando la estructura de soporte 2 esta en una posicion que no esta inclinada respecto del suelo, a una condicion activa, en la que el cuerpo de friccion 10 esta soportado en contacto con friccion contra el cepillo 4 cuando al estructura de soporte 2 es movida a una condicion inclinada con levantamiento de su parte delantera 2a del suelo 100 respecto de su parte trasera 2b y viceversa.it is disengaged from the brush 4, when the support structure 2 is in a position that is not inclined with respect to the ground, to an active condition, in which the friction body 10 is supported in friction contact against the brush 4 when the structure of support 2 is moved to an inclined condition with lifting its front part 2a from the floor 100 with respect to its rear part 2b and vice versa.

En particular, el cuerpo de friccion 10 esta dispuesto para estar de cara a la cara superior del disco 6a del cepillo 4 para poder hacer contacto con el cuando esta en su condicion activa.In particular, the friction body 10 is arranged to face the upper face of the disc 6a of the brush 4 to be able to make contact with it when it is in its active condition.

Convenientemente, el cuerpo de friccion 10 puede estar hecho de material elasticamente deformable, tal como por ejemplo caucho o similar, y por ejemplo, puede estar fijado al brazo de soporte 9 mediante una porcion roscada 10a que esta integral ahf y puede engancharse mediante una tuerca 10b.Conveniently, the friction body 10 can be made of elastically deformable material, such as for example rubber or the like, and for example, it can be fixed to the support arm 9 by means of a threaded portion 10a that is integral ahf and can be attached by a nut 10b

La operacion de la maquina segun la invencion es como sigue:The operation of the machine according to the invention is as follows:

Con el fin de limpiar el suelo 100, los medios motor 5 del cepillo 4 son activados de modo que puedan moverlo con un movimiento rotatorio alrededor de su propio eje de rotacion 4a.In order to clean the floor 100, the motor means 5 of the brush 4 are activated so that they can move it with a rotary movement around their own axis of rotation 4a.

Al causar el avance de la estructura de soporte 2 a lo largo de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3, el cepillo 4 actua progresivamente en las varias regiones del suelo 100 quitando la suciedad que esta presente con la ayuda del lfquido de limpieza emitido por las boquillas dispensadoras, y la rasqueta 7 recoge el lfquido de limpieza y las suciedad quitada.By causing the advance of the support structure 2 along the direction of forward movement 3, the brush 4 acts progressively in the various regions of the floor 100 removing the dirt that is present with the help of the cleaning liquid emitted by the dispensing nozzles, and the scraper 7 collects the cleaning liquid and the dirt removed.

En esta situacion, la estructura de soporte esta en una condicion que no esta inclinada respecto del suelo 100 y el cuerpo de friccion 10 esta espaciado del cepillo 4 y acordemente la rasqueta 7 esta desacoplada respecto de la rotacion del cepillo 4.In this situation, the support structure is in a condition that is not inclined with respect to the floor 100 and the friction body 10 is spaced from the brush 4 and accordingly the scraper 7 is disengaged from the rotation of the brush 4.

Si el usuario desea mover la estructura de soporte 2 en la direccion opuesta respecto de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3, en primer lugar inclina la estructura de soporte 2 para levantar su parte delantera 2a del suelo 100 respecto de la parte trasera 2b pivotando en las ruedas tal y como se muestra en la figura 8.If the user wishes to move the support structure 2 in the opposite direction with respect to the forward direction of movement 3, first he inclines the support structure 2 to lift its front part 2a from the floor 100 with respect to the rear part 2b pivoting in the wheels as shown in figure 8.

Al hacerlo, el cepillo 4 y la rasqueta 7 se levantan del suelo 100 y, al perder contacto con el suelo 100, rotan debido a su propio peso el brazo de soporte 9 alrededor del eje de articulacion 9a, con el consiguiente acercamiento del cuerpo de friccion 10 al disco 6a del cepillo 4 hasta el que cuerpo de friccion 10 hace contacto con el disco 6a del cepillo 4.In doing so, the brush 4 and the scraper 7 rise from the floor 100 and, when losing contact with the floor 100, rotate due to their own weight the support arm 9 around the articulation axis 9a, with the consequent approach of the body of friction 10 to the disc 6a of the brush 4 until which friction body 10 makes contact with the disc 6a of the brush 4.

Una vez que el cuerpo de friccion 10 ha hecho contacto con el disco 6a del cepillo 4, la rasqueta 7 es girada por el cepillo 4 alrededor de su propio eje de oscilacion, moviendo asf desde la posicion detras del cepillo a la posicion delante de dicho cepillo, permaneciendo en esta posicion gracias a su retencion causada por los medios de detencion.Once the friction body 10 has made contact with the disc 6a of the brush 4, the scraper 7 is rotated by the brush 4 around its own axis of oscillation, thus moving from the position behind the brush to the position in front of said brush, remaining in this position thanks to its retention caused by the means of detention.

En este punto el usuario puede devolver la estructura de soporte 2 a una condicion no inclinada, bajando de nuevo la parte delantera 2a de la estructura de soporte 2 y luego, tal y como se muestra en la figura 9, puede mover la maquina en la direccion opuesta respecto de la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3, la rasqueta 7 siendo siempre capaz de operar en una posicion que se encuentra detras del cepillo 4.At this point the user can return the support structure 2 to a non-inclined condition, lowering the front part 2a of the support structure 2 again and then, as shown in Figure 9, can move the machine in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of forward movement 3, the scraper 7 being always able to operate in a position behind the brush 4.

Para luego devolver la rasqueta 7 de nuevo a la posicion posterior, es suficiente para el usuario mover la maquina en la direccion de movimiento hacia delante 3 con el fin de conseguir la rotacion automatica de la rasqueta 7 alrededor de su propio eje de oscilacion desde la posicion delantera a la posicion trasera debido a la friccion de la rasqueta 7 con el suelo 100.To then return the scraper 7 back to the rear position, it is sufficient for the user to move the machine in the forward direction of movement 3 in order to achieve automatic rotation of the scraper 7 around its own axis of oscillation from the front position to the rear position due to the friction of the scraper 7 with the floor 100.

A partir de lo que se ha descrito anteriormente, resulta evidente que la invencion es capaz de conseguir plenamente el objetivo pretendido, puesto que permite limpiar el suelo tanto haciendo que la maquina se mueva en su direccion de movimiento hacia delante normal como moviendola en la direccion opuesta.From what has been described above, it is evident that the invention is able to fully achieve the intended objective, since it allows the floor to be cleaned both by causing the machine to move in its normal forward movement direction and moving it in the direction opposite.

Todas las caracterfsticas de la invencion indicadas anteriormente como ventajosas, convenientes o similares tambien pueden omitirse o ser reemplazadas por equivalentes.All features of the invention indicated above as advantageous, convenient or similar can also be omitted or replaced by equivalents.
