Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cleaning device having a suction dust collecting device that cleans dirt attached to wheels such as a shoe sole of a person, a wheelchair, a wheelbarrow, a shopping cart, and a stretcher, and that dust is not scattered around. It is.

Entrance mats are usually installed at the entrances of commercial facilities and hospitals, and dirt and sand attached to similar wheels such as shoes of people passing by, wheelchairs other than people, shopping cars, stretchers, etc. It plays the role of removing dirt.
However, in order to rub off dirt, sand, dust, etc. adhering to the shoe sole, etc., it must be deliberately performed by a person, so the dirt adhering to the shoe sole etc. remains as it is. There was a difficulty in being easily carried into the building.

Problems to be solved by the invention

In the conventional mat installed at the entrance of the building in this way, if a person deliberately rubs the shoe sole against the mat, there is a certain degree of removal effect. At present, it cannot be expected to remove the attached dirt.
In order to solve this problem, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-52765 proposes a device for rotating a plurality of cleaning brushes by means of belt transmission to wipe the wheels of a shoe sole, a wheelchair, etc. Since the mounting pitch between the cleaning brushes is large, it is somewhat difficult to remove the dirt adhering to the shoe sole and wheel of the wheelchair, as in the case of the mat.

Means for solving the problem

The shoe sole cleaning apparatus according to the present development for achieving the above object has the following configuration.
It is a driving / suction / cleaning brush rotating part.
The drive unit transmits power to one rotary shaft via a motor / reduction gear, so that a large number of gears engaged with the drive unit rotate and the cleaning brush rotates left and right.
Next, the suction device is located at the lower end of the upper tank, and a plurality of suction pipes are provided in the upper tank, and the suction pipe has suction holes of various diameters in consideration of the balance of the entire suction. At the end of the upper tank, each suction pipe is provided with a valve so that further suction balance can be adjusted.
The cleaning brush rotating part is roughly divided into three types of plates: an upper plate (tread plate), an intermediate plate, and a lower plate. The upper plate (tread plate) has a plurality of arrangement holes arranged regularly in a plane, and each of the plurality of arrangement holes rotates to the left or right with a slightly larger or smaller diameter. A plurality of cleaning brushes and brush holders, for example, metal, non-ferrous metal, resin, wood, bamboo, ceramic, etc., which are connected to each other via a magnet with a vertical rotating shaft on each of the intermediate plate and the lower plate It is housed in the bearing via the attached bearing cover, and the rotating shaft is arranged with a combination of a plurality of gears consisting of one stage and two stages in the lower tank (between the intermediate plate and the lower plate). The dust that rotates left and right by transmission and that falls and accumulates in the upper tank is collected by a suction dust collecting device provided at the end of the upper tank.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4, the upper plate (tread plate) 9 has a plurality of arrangement holes A arranged in a planar manner with regularity, and each of the plurality of arrangement holes A has its arrangement hole. A plurality of cleaning brushes 1 and brush holders 21 having a diameter slightly smaller or larger than A and rotating in a horizontal direction are provided together with rotating shafts 4 and 4a in the vertical direction. The brush holder 21 is provided with, for example, a fine groove 2 in which iron or a magnet for detachable attachment is attached to the lower portion made of, for example, metal, non-ferrous metal, resin, wood, bamboo, ceramic, etc. The shafts 4 and 4a are closely fitted. Here, the rotary shafts 4 and 4a are provided with grooves 23 at the upper part, and the magnets 3 and 3a are fitted therein, and the lower part is stepped and fitted into the bearing 7 through the bearing covers 5 and 8. The upper plate (tread plate) 9 has a structure that can be easily removed by removing the surrounding mounting screws. Next, the intermediate plate 10 has a plurality of holes for the rotating shafts 4 and 4a like the upper plate (treading plate) 9, and the conical bearing receiver 5 is provided to facilitate the rotation and assembly of the rotating shafts 4 and 4a smoothly. The bearing 7 is built in, and the upper surface of the intermediate plate 10 is provided with a rubber packing 16 to prevent dust from entering the lower tank. The intermediate plate 10 can be removed in the same manner as the upper plate (tread plate) 9. Next, unlike the upper plate (tread plate) 9 and the intermediate plate 10, the lower plate 11 does not have a plurality of arrangement holes, and the bearing cover 8 is the same as the bearing 7 of the intermediate plate 10 at the bottom end of the rotary shafts 4 and 4a. As many as possible are arranged on the axis.
In the lower tank in the space between the lower plate 11 and the intermediate plate 10, a plurality of gears 6 consisting of one and two stages are fixed in combination with the rotating shafts 4 and 4a, and they mesh with each other to move the cleaning brush 1 in the left-right direction. At the same time as the transmission source for rotation, the lower tank has a sealed structure so that lubricating oil can be injected into the lower tank to prevent noise caused by the gear 6. Moreover, the dust which falls from the clearance gap between the arrangement | positioning hole A of the upper board (tread board) 9 and the cleaning brush holder 22 accumulates in an upper tank, and is equipped with the equipment collected by the suction dust collector 18 installed in the upper tank edge part. It is.

The invention's effect

As described above, the shoe sole cleaning device according to the present invention has a top portion of the brush holder that rotates close to the right and left when viewed from a plurality of upper surfaces (the center of the R portion is slightly raised from the floor surface and the periphery is the floor surface) Remove the dirt on the soles and wheels with a cleaning brush (which is slightly lower).
In addition, the dust collected during the removal of dirt is sucked and collected so as not to be scattered around. In addition, the apparatus can be easily maintained and inspected. In addition, by installing a human sensor, the cleaning brush is non-rotating and economical when not passing.

It is a whole top view of a shoe sole cleaning device. It is sectional drawing of a shoe sole cleaning apparatus. It is a cleaning brush part figure of a shoe sole cleaning apparatus. It is an upper tank suction pipe of a shoe sole cleaning device, and a drive former receiving part figure of a plurality of gear rotations.
