Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair styling machine for removing deposits attached to an outer thread of a dust cleaning mop for floor cleaning, and displaces the position of a rotary brush according to the size of the dust cleaning mop. It relates to a moving mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dry mop for dust removal for rental is collected after use, and is subjected to processing such as washing and impregnation with a dusting agent. Finally, it is subjected to a mop hair styling machine to remove the deposits. There are many types of mop that vary in size from small to large, from home use to business use. For this reason, the dust removing mop hair styling machine is provided with a mechanism that can be applied to all types of mops having different sizes.

FIG. 6 shows a main mechanism of a conventional dust removing mop hair styling machine. First, the mop 70 comprises a central canvas base cloth 72, a bottom thread 74 as a lower tuft of the canvas base cloth 72, and an outer thread 76 as a tuft on the outer peripheral side of the canvas base cloth 72, The bottom yarn 74 and the outer yarn 76 are subjected to a dusting agent impregnation treatment. Mop hair removal machine for dust removal
This removes hair, lint, metal powder, and other deposits attached to the bottom thread 74 and the outer thread 76 of the mop 70.

The dust removing mop hair straightener has an upper horizontal fixing beam 78a and a lower horizontal fixing beam 78b, and hinges 80 are provided at both ends of the fixing beams 78a and 78b, respectively.
a, 80b, a pair of left and right upper swing arms 82a
And a pair of left and right lower swing arms 82b are swingably provided. The pair of left and right upper swing arms 82a and the pair of left and right lower swing arms 82b are arranged vertically and in a direction facing each other. These swing arms 82a,
Rotary brushes 84a and 84b are provided rotatably at the end of 82b to remove hair, lint, metal powder, and other deposits attached to the bottom thread 74 and the outer thread 76. Mop 70
The lower central part of the canvas base cloth 72 (the central part of the bottom thread 74) is supported by the lower chain 86, and the central part of the upper surface of the canvas base cloth 72 is pressed by the upper chain 88, and the lower chain The upper and lower chains 86 are sandwiched between the upper and lower sides, and are moved from the front side to the rear side in FIG.

[0005] First, a mop 70 is inserted from the front side to the back side in FIG. 6 into the mop hairdressing machine for dust removal, and before reaching the structural portion shown in FIG. The attached matter is removed by a brush (not shown) from all of the bottom thread 74 located in the width direction and the outer thread 76 located in the traveling direction. Thereafter, the lower chain 86 and the upper chain 88 sandwich the upper and lower portions and are carried to the position shown in FIG. Then, while moving from the front side to the rear side in FIG. 6, the left and right outer threads 76 of the mop 70 are
The hair is combed by a comb with the lower rotating brush 84b and the attached matter is removed from the left and right outer threads 76 of the mop 70.

[0006]

Since the mop 70 is large or small, the width of the canvas base cloth 72 shown in FIG. 6 is different. The rotating brushes 84a and 84b are for combing the outer thread 76. Also, the rotating brushes 84a, 84
b does not contact the canvas base cloth 72 so as not to damage the canvas base cloth 72. For this reason, the left and right upper swing arms 82a and the left and right lower swing arms 82b are swung according to the size of the mop 70, and the interval between the left and right upper rotating brushes 84a and the left and right lower rotating brushes 84b Increase or decrease the distance between each other.

However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the interval between the left and right upper swing arms 82a and the interval between the left and right lower swing arms 82b are widened, the upper rotating brush 84a and the lower rotating brush 84b become smaller. The mop 70 is formed by the upper rotating brush 84a and the lower rotating brush 84b.
The force for combing the outer thread 76 becomes weaker. Conversely, when the interval between the left and right swing arms 82 is large, the upper rotating brush 8
When the distance between the upper rotating brush 84a and the lower rotating brush 84b is narrow, the distance between the upper rotating brush 84a and the lower rotating brush 84b is increased when the distance between the left and right swing arms 82 is narrow. The force of combing the outer thread 76 of the mop 70 by the upper rotating brush 84a and the lower rotating brush 84b is reduced. Thus, in the conventional mop hair removal machine for dust removal,
In either the large or small mop 70, the outer thread 7 of the mop 70
6 caused a problem that it was difficult to remove the deposits.

The lower side of the mop 70 is located at the center of the mop 70.
Since the location is supported only by the lower chain 86, when the width of the canvas base cloth 72 of the mop 70 is increased, the left and right sides of the canvas base cloth 72 are lowered, and the outer thread 76 of the mop 70 is rotated by the lower rotating brush. There is also a problem that the card is only combed by the brush 84b and cannot be combed by the upper rotating brush 84a.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has the same force for combing the outer yarn of the mop regardless of the size of the canvas base fabric of the mop, thereby stably adhering substances from the outer yarn of the mop. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotating brush moving mechanism of a mop hair styling machine which can be removed.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mop canvas in which a mounting plate on which a rotating brush for combing an outer thread of a mop is rotatably mounted is arranged vertically and horizontally. In a rotating brush moving mechanism of a mop hair styling machine that varies the interval between the left and right rotating brushes according to the size of the base cloth, means for moving the left and right mounting plates in the horizontal direction in the direction approaching or leaving the same distance in the horizontal direction.
