DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile heating device used for performing antifouling treatment on a carpet laid on an office floor or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Tile or one-piece carpets are often used on floors of offices and the like. The surface of such a carpet is usually coated with an antifouling agent during production.

As an antifouling agent for carpets and the like, fluororesins such as perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate are generally used. Since this fluororesin has very poor wettability to water and oil (low surface tension), it has the property of repelling water and oil even when it comes into contact with it. Dirt generally adheres to objects in a form mixed with water, oil, etc.
By coating the surface of the object with the fluororesin, it is possible to prevent the adhesion of dirt to the object.

In order to apply such a fluororesin evenly to an object, an antifouling agent is generally a mixture of the above fluororesin in water. Therefore, after applying or spraying the antifouling agent on the carpet, it is necessary to dry in order to remove water, but simply by drying the fluororesin does not sufficiently penetrate between fibers of the carpet or the like, A sufficient antifouling effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, conventionally, when performing antifouling treatment at the time of carpet production, the carpet after applying and drying the fluororesin is heated (cured) to about 150 to 200 ° C. to allow the fluororesin to sufficiently permeate the cloth. Thus, the fixing of the fluororesin was ensured.

[0005]

The stain-resistant carpet and the like are also laid on the floor of an office or the like and used for a while. Lose effect. However, conventionally, it is difficult to perform the above-mentioned heating on the carpet that has already been laid on site, and therefore, it has conventionally been considered that the antifouling treatment of the carpet after the laying is impossible. The present invention, in order to solve such a problem, provides a mobile heating device capable of performing an antifouling treatment even on an existing carpet.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A mobile carpet heating apparatus according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, comprises: a) a carriage movable on a floor; and b) a carriage mounted on the carriage. A tilting table having a variable tilt angle; and c) a heating blower mounted on the tilting table and having a horn having a horizontally long opening at a tip thereof.

[0007] Instead of the tilting table, a variable height lifting table may be mounted on the carriage, and the heating blower may be mounted on the lifting table. Alternatively, both the elevating table and the tilting table may be placed on the carriage, and the heating blower may be placed thereon.

Further, means (a nozzle, a roller, etc.) for spraying or applying an antifouling agent may be added to the mobile carpet heating apparatus.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Carpets laid on the floor
First, an antifouling agent is sprayed or applied. Then, natural drying or blast drying is performed to remove the moisture. The above-described heating device may be used for the drying by air blowing, but the temperature of the air blown at this time is desirably 100 ° C. or less. In addition, when the present heating device is provided with a spraying / applying means as described above, the spraying / applying means may be used, and air drying may be simultaneously performed by a heating blower. So that the antifouling agent penetrates sufficiently into the carpet after spraying or applying,
It is desirable to ensure that blast drying is performed.
At first, traveling only for spraying and application may be performed, and after allowing time for permeation, traveling for blast drying may be performed.

After the drying is completed, heating for curing is performed. By adjusting the tilt angle of the tilt table and / or the height of the lift table, the opening of the horn is directly above the carpet, and the temperature of the air of the heating blower is adjusted to 150-18.
Set the temperature to about 0 ° C (it may be raised to nearly 200 ° C depending on the type of carpet). At the same time as the start of the air blowing, the carriage is driven at a constant speed. Thereby, the fluororesin adhering to the surface of the carpet is melted, sufficiently penetrates into the interior of the fiber of the carpet, and covers the entire surface of the carpet.

It is needless to say that it is desirable to clean the carpet with a detergent or the like before performing the antifouling treatment.

[0012]

By using the mobile carpet heating apparatus according to the present invention, it is possible to carry out antifouling treatment on the existing carpet on site. Therefore, after cleaning a carpet laid in an office or the like with a detergent or the like, by performing antifouling treatment in this manner, the carpet in an office or the like can always be kept in a beautiful state. Become.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One example of a movable carpet heating apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view of the mobile carpet heating device of the embodiment in use, and as shown in FIG.
3 are placed in that order, and the heating blower 14 is fixed to the tilting table 13.

The cart 11 has a moving caster 111,
A rear caster 111 is rotatable. The elevator 12 uses a pantograph 122 as shown in FIG. 2, and rotates an upper handle 123 by rotating a handle 121. Note that a motor or an air cylinder may be used instead of the handle 121. Further, an air bellows or the like may be used instead of the pantograph 122. The tilting table 13 can be tilted around a shaft 132 fixed in front of the elevating table 12, and the tilt angle can be changed by rotating the handle 131. This may be rotated by a motor, or the rear may be lifted by an air cylinder or air bellows.

The heating blower 14 includes a blower 141 having a motor, a heater 142 for heating the blown air,
And a horn 143 for blowing the heated air widely to the floor. As shown in FIG. 3, it is desirable to provide a partition 144 inside the horn 143 in order to make the air flow uniform over the entire width.

The blower motor of the blower 141 uses a variable rotational speed motor, and the heating amount of the heater 142 is also variable. The blower motor ON / OFF switch, air volume change knob, heater ON / OFF switch and heating temperature setting knob
3 are collectively arranged on an operation unit 114 provided at the upper part of the third unit 3. When the motor is driven up and down and tilted by a motor or air as described above, these switches are also operated by the operation unit 1.
14 is desirable.
