Description

本発明は、走行しながら洗浄ブラシ又はパットを回転して床面を洗浄する床面洗浄機(スクラバー)の技術分野に属するものであって、具体的には、洗浄ブラシ等によって洗浄された後に床面上に残る汚水を吸引して汚水タンクに回収するスキージと、上記床面洗浄機の車体側との間を連結するスキージ連結装置に関するものである。   The present invention belongs to the technical field of a floor cleaning machine (scrubber) that cleans a floor surface by rotating a cleaning brush or a pad while traveling, and specifically after being cleaned by a cleaning brush or the like. The present invention relates to a squeegee connecting device that connects between a squeegee that sucks and collects sewage remaining on a floor surface into a sewage tank and a vehicle body side of the floor cleaning machine.

従来の一般的な床面洗浄機には、例えば特許文献1に示されているように、車体の後部に洗浄後に床面上に残る汚水を吸い取って汚水タンクに回収するスキージが連結されており、スキージは床面洗浄機の走行に従って連結軸を支点にして左右横方向に回動しながら移動して、床面上の汚水を吸い取る仕組に成っている。
特開平9−94207号公報
For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, a squeegee that sucks sewage remaining on the floor after cleaning and collects it in a sewage tank is connected to a conventional general floor cleaning machine. The squeegee moves while rotating in the horizontal direction with the connecting shaft as a fulcrum according to the running of the floor cleaning machine, and sucks up the sewage on the floor.
JP-A-9-94207

しかし、上記従来の床面洗浄機に使用されるスキージ連結装置には、以下に述べる如き問題点があった。   However, the squeegee connecting device used in the conventional floor cleaning machine has the following problems.

(1) スキージが壁面や障害物に接触した際の問題点;
従来のスキージ連結装置では、走行中にスキージが壁面や障害物に接触すると、スキージと車体を連結する連結棒にはその衝撃を吸収する手段がないため、衝撃が直接スキージに伝わってしまい、スキージの破損や壁面を傷めるといった不具合が発生していた。
その為、従来の床面洗浄機ではスキージに補強を加えたり、強度アップを行っていたが、これ等の対策を講じると、スキージの質量が非常に重たくなり、ユーザーメンテナンス時に取り扱いづらくなるといった、不満の声が寄せられていた。
(1) Problems when the squeegee comes into contact with the wall or obstacles;
In the conventional squeegee coupling device, when the squeegee comes into contact with a wall surface or an obstacle during traveling, the coupling rod that couples the squeegee and the vehicle body has no means for absorbing the impact, so the impact is directly transmitted to the squeegee. Problems such as damage to the wall and damage to the wall occurred.
For this reason, the conventional floor cleaning machine added reinforcement or increased strength to the squeegee, but if these measures were taken, the mass of the squeegee would become very heavy, making it difficult to handle during user maintenance. There was a voice of dissatisfaction.

(2) 走行車輪が摩耗した際の問題点;
通常、床面洗浄機は質量が重い為、走行距離に比例して走行車輪が摩耗してくる事により、スキージは車体前方側に傾き、スキージゴムの異常摩耗や汚水の吸い残しが発生してしまう。特に、搭乗式床面洗浄機の場合には、質量が数百kgと重い為、車輪に負荷が掛かり、タイヤの摩耗が著しい傾向にある。その為、従来では、スキージ連結部の箇所にスキージ高さ調整機構を持たせて、スキージゴムの異常摩耗や汚水の吸い残しが発生した場合、ユーザーがスキージの高さを調節していた。
しかし、その調節の際、ユーザーは不慣れな為に適切な調整が難しく、且つ非常に手間が掛かり面倒であった。その為、スキージゴム高さ調整不良により、スキージゴムの片当たりによる異常摩耗が発生して寿命が短くなったり、スキージゴムと床面との間に隙間が生じて、十分な吸引性能が確保できず、汚水が床面に残ってしまうといった問題が依然として残されたままであった。
(2) Problems when running wheels are worn;
Normally, the floor cleaner has a heavy mass, and the running wheel wears in proportion to the distance traveled, so the squeegee tilts forward and the squeegee rubber wears abnormally and sewage is left behind. . In particular, in the case of a boarding type floor cleaning machine, since the mass is as heavy as several hundred kg, a load is applied to the wheel, and tire wear tends to be remarkable. For this reason, conventionally, a squeegee height adjustment mechanism is provided at the squeegee connecting portion, and the user adjusts the height of the squeegee when abnormal wear of the squeegee rubber or sewage spillage occurs.
However, since the user is unfamiliar with the adjustment, it is difficult to make an appropriate adjustment, and it is troublesome and troublesome. Therefore, due to poor squeegee rubber height adjustment, abnormal wear due to one piece of squeegee rubber occurs and the service life is shortened, or a gap is created between the squeegee rubber and the floor surface, so that sufficient suction performance cannot be secured, and sewage water Still remained on the floor.

(3) 起伏の多い床面を洗浄する際の問題点;
平坦な床面であればスキージゴムが常に床面と適正な接地角を保っている為、汚水吸引性能に影響を与える事はないが、起伏の多い床面を洗浄する場合には、スキージゴムが常に床面と適正な接地角を保つ事ができない状態が発生し、汚水吸引性能が低下し、汚水が床面に残ってしまう不具合が生じていた。尚、スキージゴムの適正な接地角は、横方向から見てゴムの先端がおおよそ約45度で床面に接していると、安定した吸水性能が保たれる事が知られている。
(3) Problems when cleaning rough floors;
If the floor surface is flat, the squeegee rubber always maintains the proper contact angle with the floor surface, so there is no effect on the sewage suction performance. There was a problem that the proper contact angle with the floor surface could not be maintained, the sewage suction performance was lowered, and the sewage remained on the floor surface. Incidentally, it is known that the proper contact angle of the squeegee rubber can maintain a stable water absorption performance when the rubber tip is in contact with the floor surface at about 45 degrees when viewed from the side.

そこで本発明の技術的課題は、床面洗浄機の走行中にスキージが壁面や障害物等に接触したとしても、スキージへの衝撃を吸収して、スキージ及び壁面等の破損を防止すると共に、走行車輪の摩耗や起伏の多い床面の洗浄が原因で、スキージの高さ調整が必要になったとしても、無調整にて安定した吸水性能を発揮できるように工夫した床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置を提供することである。   Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to absorb the impact on the squeegee even if the squeegee comes into contact with the wall surface or obstacles while the floor cleaning machine is running, and prevent damage to the squeegee and the wall surface. Even if it is necessary to adjust the height of the squeegee due to the wear of the running wheels and the cleaning of the floor with many undulations, the squeegee for the floor cleaning machine has been devised to provide stable water absorption performance without adjustment. It is to provide a coupling device.

(1) 上記の技術的課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項1に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、洗浄水を給水しながら洗浄ブラシ又はパッドを回転して床面を洗浄し、洗浄後に床面上に残る汚水を、洗浄機の車体後部に連結したスキージで吸い上げて汚水タンクに回収するように構成した床面洗浄機において、上記車体後部とスキージとの間を、スキージ側に一定以上の負荷が加わると長手方向に伸張し、この負荷が解けると元の長さに縮む伸縮自在構造で、且つ、両端の連結部分に任意の方向に回動可能な自在継手を設けた連結棒を用いて連結すると共に、この連結棒を上記洗浄機の車体に対して中立位置に支持するセンタリング機能が設けられていることを特徴としている。 (1) In order to solve the above technical problem, a squeegee coupling device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 1 of the present invention cleans the floor surface by rotating a cleaning brush or a pad while supplying cleaning water. In a floor cleaning machine configured to suck up sewage remaining on the floor after cleaning with a squeegee connected to the rear of the vehicle body of the cleaning machine and collect it in the sewage tank, the squeegee is disposed between the rear of the vehicle body and the squeegee. Stretchable structure that expands in the longitudinal direction when a certain load is applied to the side, and contracts to the original length when this load is released, and is provided with a universal joint that can be rotated in any direction at both ends. And a centering function for supporting the connecting rod in a neutral position with respect to the vehicle body of the washing machine.

(2) また、本発明の請求項2に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、前記伸縮自在に構成した連結棒に、連結棒が長手方向に伸びた際に引き戻す弾性部材と、衝撃を緩和するための緩衝機構が具備されていることを特徴としている。 (2) Moreover, the squeegee connecting device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 2 of the present invention includes an elastic member that is pulled back when the connecting rod extends in the longitudinal direction on the connecting rod configured to be stretchable and an impact. It is characterized in that a buffer mechanism for relaxing is provided.

(3) また、本発明の請求項3に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、前記センタリング機能が、前記連結棒の一方への回動に対して付勢する左右一対の引張りスプリングによって構成されていることを特徴としている。 (3) Further, in the squeegee coupling device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 3 of the present invention, the centering function is constituted by a pair of left and right tension springs that urge the rotation of the coupling rod toward one side. It is characterized by being.

(4) また、本発明の請求項4に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、前記洗浄機の車体後部とスキージとの間を連結する連結棒が左右2本並設され、これ等左右2本の連結棒に前記左と右の引張りスプリングが個々に取り付けられていることを特徴としている。 (4) Further, in the squeegee connecting device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 4 of the present invention, two connecting rods for connecting the rear part of the vehicle body of the cleaning machine and the squeegee are provided side by side. The left and right tension springs are individually attached to two connecting rods.

(5) また、本発明の請求項5に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、前記左右2本並設された連結棒の各両端部に設けた自在継手のうち、前記洗浄機の車体後部側に取り付けられる各自在継手の夫々にスプリングレバーを取り付けて、これ等両スプリングレバーの夫々に、上記連結棒の一方向への回動に対して付勢する左右一対の引張りスプリングの各一端を取り付けたことを特徴としている。 (5) Moreover, the squeegee connecting device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 5 of the present invention is a vehicle body of the cleaning machine among universal joints provided at both ends of the two connecting bars arranged side by side. A spring lever is attached to each of the universal joints attached to the rear side, and one end of each of the pair of left and right tension springs that urges each of these spring levers against rotation in one direction of the connecting rod. It is characterized by having attached.

(6) 更に、本発明の請求項6に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置は、前記スキージの前後両方に、スキージの移動時に床面に追従しながら回転するスキージローラーを設けたことを特徴としている。 (6) Furthermore, the squeegee coupling device for a floor cleaning machine according to claim 6 of the present invention is characterized in that squeegee rollers that rotate while following the floor surface when the squeegee moves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the squeegee. It is said.

以上の如く構成した結果は、上記(1)と(2)で述べた請求項1及び2に係る手段によれば、走行中にスキージが壁面や障害物に接触して一定上の負荷が加わったとしても、スキージと車体間を接続する連結棒の伸縮機能と緩衝機能とにより、スキージが受ける衝撃を緩和することができるため、スキージの破損及び壁面等を傷めるといった不具合を防止する事が可能となる。   As a result of the above configuration, according to the means according to claims 1 and 2 described in the above (1) and (2), the squeegee comes into contact with the wall surface and the obstacle while traveling and a certain load is applied. Even so, the expansion and contraction function and buffering function of the connecting rod that connects the squeegee and the vehicle body can alleviate the impact the squeegee receives, thus preventing problems such as squeegee damage and wall damage. It becomes.

また、上記(1)、(3)、(5)で述べた請求項1、3、5に係る各手段によれば、走行車輪の摩耗や起伏の多い床面においても連結棒両端の自在継手が上下に揺動する事により、常にスキージが床面と適正な状態を保つ事が可能と成り、更に、連結棒と車体間において左右一対の引張りスプリングから成るセンタリング機能が設けられている事により、スキージの姿勢が偏った場合でも、車体に対してスキージの姿勢が中立位置に戻る為、床の汚水を残さずに吸い取る事が可能となる。   Moreover, according to each means concerning Claim 1, 3, 5 described in said (1), (3), (5), the universal joint of both ends of a connecting rod also in the floor surface with much wear and undulation of a running wheel By swinging up and down, it is possible to keep the squeegee always in proper condition with the floor surface, and furthermore, a centering function consisting of a pair of left and right tension springs is provided between the connecting rod and the vehicle body. Even when the posture of the squeegee is biased, the posture of the squeegee returns to the neutral position with respect to the vehicle body.

上記(4)と(5)で述べた請求項4、5に係る手段によれば、四節平行リンクによってスキージが連結されているため、スキージの姿勢が前進時には進行方向に対して偏らず、後進時においても床面との摩擦により片側に傾く事がなく、常に中立位置を保つ事が可能となる。またスキージは、適正な姿勢をできるだけ保ち、大きく傾く事がないので、床面上の汚水を確実に吸い取ることを可能にする。   According to the means according to claims 4 and 5 described in the above (4) and (5), since the squeegee is connected by the four-bar parallel link, the posture of the squeegee is not biased with respect to the traveling direction when moving forward, Even when the vehicle is moving backward, it does not tilt to one side due to friction with the floor surface, and can always maintain a neutral position. In addition, the squeegee keeps a proper posture as much as possible and does not tilt greatly, so that it is possible to reliably suck up the sewage on the floor surface.

さらに上記(5)で述べた請求項5に係る手段によれば、走行中にスキージが壁面や障害物に接触等することにより姿勢が偏ったり傾いたとしても、左右のスプリングレバーに取り付けられている引張りスプリングの効果により、一定以上の負荷が作用した場合に限ってスキージが左右に姿勢を変え、その後スキージを確実に中立位置に戻すことができるものであって、構成部品が少ない簡単な機構でスキージの姿勢が更に安定して、スキージによる汚水吸引作用をより安定化する事が可能となる。   Further, according to the means according to claim 5 described in the above (5), even if the posture is biased or inclined due to the squeegee coming into contact with the wall surface or an obstacle during traveling, it is attached to the left and right spring levers. Due to the tension spring, the squeegee can change its position from side to side only when a certain load is applied, and then return the squeegee to the neutral position reliably. Thus, the posture of the squeegee is further stabilized, and the sewage suction action by the squeegee can be further stabilized.

上記(6)で述べた請求項6に係る手段によれば、スキージに取り付けたスキージローラーがスキージの姿勢を傾けることなく安定化すると共に、スキージが床面をなぞりながら床面に追従するため、凹凸が多い床面でも適正な接地角を保って、汚水の吸い残しを防止することができる。   According to the means according to claim 6 described in the above (6), the squeegee roller attached to the squeegee stabilizes without tilting the squeegee, and the squeegee follows the floor surface while tracing the floor surface. Even on a floor with many irregularities, it is possible to maintain a proper contact angle and prevent sewage from being left behind.

以上述べた次第で、本発明に係る床面洗浄機用スキージ連結装置によれば、走行中にスキージが壁面や障害物に接触した場合でも、スキージは、受ける衝撃を緩和する構造によりスキージの破損及び壁面を傷めるといった不具合を防止する事ができ、更に、スキージの姿勢はセンタリング機構によって素早く中立位置に戻る事が可能となるため、床面に汚水を残す事が少なく、優れた汚水吸引効果を発揮することができる。   As described above, according to the squeegee connecting device for a floor cleaning machine according to the present invention, even when the squeegee comes into contact with a wall surface or an obstacle during traveling, the squeegee breaks down due to the structure that reduces the impact received. In addition, the squeegee's posture can be quickly returned to the neutral position by the centering mechanism, so there is little sewage left on the floor surface and an excellent sewage suction effect. It can be demonstrated.

更に、本発明では走行車輪が摩耗したり、起伏の多い床面を洗浄する場合であっても、スキージゴムが常に床面と適切な接地角を保つ事により、床面に汚水が残ってしまう事を防止して、常に安定した汚水吸引処理が行えると共に、スキージゴムの高さ調整機構が存在しない(無調整)為、非常に使い勝手に優れており、加えて、衝撃を緩和する構造により必要以上の強度化の必要性が無いため、構成部品が少なくなって、比較的安価に提供できる経済性を備えている。   Furthermore, in the present invention, even when the traveling wheel is worn or when the floor surface with many undulations is washed, the squeegee rubber always maintains an appropriate contact angle with the floor surface, so that dirty water may remain on the floor surface. The squeegee rubber height adjustment mechanism does not exist (no adjustment), and it is extremely easy to use. In addition, the structure that reduces the impact is more than necessary. Since there is no need to increase the strength, the number of components is reduced, and the economy can be provided at a relatively low cost.

図4(1)は上述した連結棒20の斜視図で、(2)はその断面図、(3)は伸びた状態を示した断面図であって、図4(1)の斜視図において連結棒20は、本体外側を形成するパイプ20Pを備えていて、その両端には夫々自在継手21,21がナット21N,21Nで締結されており、これ等自在継手21,21の底面に突設した各々の取付軸21W,21Wが、上述したスキージ連結板18と車体連結板1Zに固定されている。また、図4(2)の断面図において連結棒20は、パイプ20Pの内部を貫通するシャフト20Kと、シャフト20Kの外側に内蔵されている緩衝装置(図中においては圧縮スプリング20Sを示す)と、圧縮スプリング20Sの両端部に取り付けた摺動性に優れた樹脂製ワッシャー20W,20Wと、その樹脂製ワッシャー20W,20Wの外側に取り付けたスナップリング20E,20F(止め輪)と、両端の自在継手21,21を固定する上記のナット21N,21Nで構成されていて、上述した取付軸21W,21Wの上端に形成した球体部21R,21Rが、上記自在継手21,21の内部に回動自在、即ち、上下及び左右いずれの方向にも回動自在に嵌合されている。   4 (1) is a perspective view of the connecting rod 20 described above, (2) is a cross-sectional view thereof, (3) is a cross-sectional view showing an extended state, and is connected in the perspective view of FIG. 4 (1). The rod 20 includes a pipe 20P that forms the outer side of the main body, and universal joints 21 and 21 are fastened to the both ends by nuts 21N and 21N, respectively, and project from the bottom surfaces of the universal joints 21 and 21. The respective attachment shafts 21W and 21W are fixed to the squeegee connecting plate 18 and the vehicle body connecting plate 1Z described above. 4 (2), the connecting rod 20 includes a shaft 20K penetrating the inside of the pipe 20P, and a shock absorber (shown as a compression spring 20S in the figure) built in the outside of the shaft 20K. Resin washers 20W and 20W attached to both ends of the compression spring 20S and excellent in slidability, snap rings 20E and 20F (stop rings) attached to the outside of the resin washers 20W and 20W, and free at both ends The ball portions 21R, 21R formed by the nuts 21N, 21N for fixing the joints 21, 21 are formed at the upper ends of the mounting shafts 21W, 21W described above, and are rotatable inside the universal joints 21, 21. That is, it is fitted so as to be rotatable in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

図4(2)の断面図において車体側(図中左側)のパイプ20Pの内面には、シャフト20Kの先端に切られた溝にスナップリング20E(止め輪)が嵌る事で、樹脂製ワッシャー20Wと圧縮スプリング20Sの一端を止めている。またスキージ側(図中右側)においては、パイプ20Pの内面に溝が切られており、その溝にスナップリング20F(止め輪)が嵌る事で樹脂製ワッシャー20Wと圧縮スプリング20Sの他端を止めている。一方、車体側(図中左側)のパイプ20Pの端面からは、おねじ21Bが切られている連結ピン21Xがパイプ20Pに溶接されて突出しており、また、自在継手21の内周面にはめねじ21Aが切られており、ナット21Nを介してシャフト20Kに締結される。連結ピン21Xの根元周面には、回転可能な金属製の中空状のカラー21Cが入れてあり、スキージ10が障害物に接触し傾いた場合、障害物側のスプリングレバー22がカラー21Cを押し摺動することで、円滑な揺動が行える仕組みに成っている。   In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 (2), a snap ring 20E (retaining ring) is fitted in the groove cut at the tip of the shaft 20K on the inner surface of the pipe 20P on the vehicle body side (left side in the figure), so that the resin washer 20W is fitted. And one end of the compression spring 20S is stopped. On the squeegee side (right side in the figure), a groove is cut in the inner surface of the pipe 20P, and the other end of the resin washer 20W and the compression spring 20S is stopped by fitting a snap ring 20F (retaining ring) into the groove. ing. On the other hand, from the end surface of the pipe 20P on the vehicle body side (left side in the figure), a connecting pin 21X having a male screw 21B cut out is welded to the pipe 20P and is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the universal joint 21. The screw 21A is cut and fastened to the shaft 20K via a nut 21N. A rotatable metal hollow collar 21C is placed on the base peripheral surface of the connecting pin 21X. When the squeegee 10 is tilted in contact with an obstacle, the obstacle-side spring lever 22 pushes the collar 21C. By sliding, it has a mechanism that allows smooth swinging.

もう一方のスキージ10側のパイプ20Pの端面(図中右側)には、シャフト20Xが突き出しており、このシャフト20Xの先端にはおねじ20Bが切られている。また図中右側の自在継手21には、めねじ21Dが切られており、ナット21Nを介して締結される仕組みに成っている。   A shaft 20X protrudes from the end surface (right side in the drawing) of the pipe 20P on the other squeegee 10 side, and a male screw 20B is cut at the tip of the shaft 20X. Further, a female screw 21D is cut in the universal joint 21 on the right side in the drawing, and is structured to be fastened through a nut 21N.

次に、図4(3)に従って連結棒20が伸びた状態図を説明する。即ち、連結棒20が伸びる事とは、パイプ20P内に内蔵されていたシャフト20Kがパイプ20Pより引き出された状態を示す。シャフト20Kは夫々の樹脂製ワッシャー20W,20Wに支えられながら傾かず、圧縮スプリング20Sを縮めながら図面上右方向に水平に引き出される。連結棒20は、スキージ10が部分的な障害物WTに引っ掛かって、一定以上の負荷が加わった場合などに伸びる(図7参照)仕組みに成っているが、引っ掛かりを避けた後は、圧縮スプリング20Sの戻し力により、シャフト20Kは図4(2)の元の状態にパイプ20Pの内部に引き戻される。以上の構造により連結棒20が伸縮する事となる。尚、連結棒20内部の緩衝装置は、圧縮スプリング20Sを例としているが、ダンパー等の緩衝手段を搭載したものであっても構わない。   Next, a state diagram in which the connecting rod 20 is extended will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the extension of the connecting rod 20 indicates a state where the shaft 20K incorporated in the pipe 20P is pulled out from the pipe 20P. The shaft 20K is not tilted while being supported by the respective resin washers 20W, 20W, and is pulled out horizontally in the right direction in the drawing while contracting the compression spring 20S. The connecting rod 20 has a mechanism that extends when the squeegee 10 is caught by a partial obstacle WT and a load exceeding a certain level is applied (see FIG. 7). With the return force of 20S, the shaft 20K is pulled back into the pipe 20P to the original state of FIG. With the above structure, the connecting rod 20 expands and contracts. The shock absorber in the connecting rod 20 is exemplified by the compression spring 20S. However, it may be a shock absorber provided with a shock absorber such as a damper.

次に、スキージ10が図6の如く壁面等の障害物Wや、図7の如く部分的な障害物WTに接触した状態を説明する。
従来のスキージ連結機構では、スキージが壁面や障害物に接触すると、スキージは車体の方向に対して、連結軸端部を支点にして左右横方向に大きく急激に回動してしまい、床面上の汚水を残してしまったり、スキージが壁面や障害物に接触した衝撃により、スキージの破損や壁面を傷めるといった不具合が発生していた。これに対して本発明のスキージ連結装置は、上述した不具合の発生を防止できるものであって、以下にその構成を図5、図6、図7の記載に従って説明する。
Next, a state where the squeegee 10 is in contact with an obstacle W such as a wall surface as shown in FIG. 6 or a partial obstacle WT as shown in FIG. 7 will be described.
In the conventional squeegee coupling mechanism, when the squeegee comes into contact with a wall surface or an obstacle, the squeegee rotates abruptly in the lateral direction with the connecting shaft end as a fulcrum with respect to the direction of the vehicle body. The squeegee was damaged and the wall surface was damaged by the impact of leaving the sewage water and the squeegee contacting the wall surface and obstacles. On the other hand, the squeegee coupling device of the present invention can prevent the occurrence of the above-described problems, and its configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7.

図5は、スキージ11が壁面や障害物に接触していない中立位置での状態を示し、図6と図7は、スキージ10が壁面等の障害物Wや部分的な障害物WTに接触した状態を示す。即ち、スキージ10は壁面等の障害物Wに接触すると、押されて図5に示す中立位置から横方向にスライドし、夫々の連結棒20,20は図6、図7の如く斜めに傾く。しかし、スキージ10は2本の連結棒20,20により、適正な姿勢をできるだけ保ち、大きく傾く事は無い。   FIG. 5 shows a state in a neutral position where the squeegee 11 is not in contact with a wall surface or an obstacle. FIGS. 6 and 7 show the squeegee 10 in contact with an obstacle W such as a wall surface or a partial obstacle WT. Indicates the state. That is, when the squeegee 10 contacts an obstacle W such as a wall surface, the squeegee 10 is pushed and slides laterally from the neutral position shown in FIG. 5, and the respective connecting rods 20 and 20 are inclined obliquely as shown in FIGS. However, the squeegee 10 is kept in an appropriate posture as much as possible by the two connecting rods 20 and 20, and does not tilt greatly.

ここで、上記の連結棒20,20が2本である効果を説明する。先ず、図6の如く壁面等の障害物W側の右側の連結棒20が斜めに傾くと、当該連結棒20のカラー21Cに押されて右側のスプリングレバー22が時計回転方向に回動し、障害物W側の右側の引張りスプリング23が伸びる。この時、もう一方の左側のスプリングレバー22は連結棒20に押されない為、左側の引張りスプリング23は伸びない。しかし、この時障害物W側のみの引張りスプリング23の張力により、常にスキージ10を中立位置に戻そうとする為、戻り力は強く、姿勢は横方向にスライドした状態で斜めに大きく傾かず床面FRに汚水を残す事が少ない。   Here, the effect of the two connecting rods 20 and 20 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 6, when the right connecting rod 20 on the obstacle W side such as a wall is inclined, the right spring lever 22 is rotated clockwise by being pushed by the collar 21C of the connecting rod 20, The right tension spring 23 on the obstacle W side extends. At this time, since the other left spring lever 22 is not pushed by the connecting rod 20, the left tension spring 23 does not extend. However, since the squeegee 10 always tries to return to the neutral position by the tension of the tension spring 23 only on the obstacle W side at this time, the return force is strong, and the posture does not tilt greatly in the state of sliding in the lateral direction. Less sewage is left on the surface FR.

その後スキージ10は障害物Wを回避すると、障害物W側の左側の引張りスプリング23の張力により、右側のスプリングレバー22が連結棒20のカラー21Cを押し、素早く中立位置に戻る。(図5の状態)尚、車体連結板1Zには、スプリングレバー22のストッパー部22Hが設けられており、スキージ10が中立位置の状態では、スプリングレバー22はストッパー部22Hに接している。連結ピン21Xの根元にはカラー21Cが入れてあり、スキージ10が障害物Wに接触して横方向にスライドした場合、障害物W側の右側のスプリングレバー22がカラー21Cと擦れることで、円滑な回動が行える。更に、起伏が多い床面FRの状態が重なった場合、スキージ10は上下に揺動するが、障害物W側のスプリングレバー22は、カラー21Cと擦れて円滑に回動可能となっている。カラー21Cは回転可能である為、スプリングレバー22がカラー21Cと擦れても、かじったり渋くなる事はない。   Thereafter, when the squeegee 10 avoids the obstacle W, the right spring lever 22 pushes the collar 21C of the connecting rod 20 by the tension of the left tension spring 23 on the obstacle W side, and quickly returns to the neutral position. (State in FIG. 5) The vehicle body connecting plate 1Z is provided with a stopper portion 22H of the spring lever 22. When the squeegee 10 is in the neutral position, the spring lever 22 is in contact with the stopper portion 22H. A collar 21C is placed at the base of the connecting pin 21X, and when the squeegee 10 contacts the obstacle W and slides in the lateral direction, the spring lever 22 on the right side on the obstacle W side rubs against the collar 21C, so that smooth Can be rotated. Furthermore, when the state of the floor surface FR with many undulations overlaps, the squeegee 10 swings up and down, but the spring lever 22 on the obstacle W side can be smoothly rotated by rubbing against the collar 21C. Since the collar 21C is rotatable, even if the spring lever 22 rubs against the collar 21C, it does not bite or become astringent.

図7は、スキージ10が部分的な障害物WTに引っ掛かった状態を示す。
図7のようにスキージ10の姿勢は、部分的な障害物WTに引っ掛かった事により斜めに傾き、障害物WT側の右側の連結棒20が伸びる。障害物WTの引っ掛かりを避けた後、障害物WT側の右側の引張りスプリング23の張力により、スキージ10は素早く横方向にスライドして戻る事が可能となり(図6の状態)、床面FRに汚水を残す事がない。従来であれば引っ掛かった衝撃によりスキージ10の破損や、障害物WTを傷めるといった不具合が発生するが、本発明ではこの不具合の発生を防止する事が可能となる。また、伸びた障害物側(右側)の連結棒20も引っ掛かりを避けた後、連結棒20内の圧縮スプリング20Sにより戻される。
FIG. 7 shows a state in which the squeegee 10 is caught by a partial obstacle WT.
As shown in FIG. 7, the posture of the squeegee 10 is inclined by being caught by a partial obstacle WT, and the right connecting rod 20 on the obstacle WT side extends. After avoiding the catch of the obstacle WT, the squeegee 10 can be quickly slid in the lateral direction and returned to the floor surface FR by the tension of the right tension spring 23 on the obstacle WT side (the state shown in FIG. 6). There is no sewage left. Conventionally, troubles such as breakage of the squeegee 10 and damage to the obstacle WT occur due to the impact that has been caught. In the present invention, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of this problem. The extended obstacle side (right side) connecting rod 20 is also returned by the compression spring 20S in the connecting rod 20 after avoiding the catch.

尚、連結棒20に緩衝機能が備えてあれば、連結棒20はより一層緩やかに戻る為、スキージ10の破損を防止する事ができる。その後、障害物Wを避けたスキージ10は、引張りスプリング23の作用により図6の状態から図5の中立位置に戻る。以上の事より、必要以上にスキージ10の強度を上げることなく、スキージ10の低コスト化を実現する事ができ、ユーザーメンテナンス時にも取り扱いやすくなる利点を発揮することができる。   In addition, if the connecting rod 20 has a buffer function, the connecting rod 20 returns more gently, so that the squeegee 10 can be prevented from being damaged. Thereafter, the squeegee 10 avoiding the obstacle W returns to the neutral position of FIG. 5 from the state of FIG. 6 by the action of the tension spring 23. From the above, the cost of the squeegee 10 can be reduced without increasing the strength of the squeegee 10 more than necessary, and the advantage of being easy to handle during user maintenance can be exhibited.

次に走行車輪が摩耗した時の状態を説明する。
図8は、走行用の後輪2Bが摩耗していない状態の前記連結棒周辺部の断面側面図で、図9は、走行用の後輪2Bが摩耗した状態の連結棒周辺部の断面側面図である。
Next, the state when the traveling wheel is worn will be described.
8 is a cross-sectional side view of the periphery of the connecting rod in a state where the traveling rear wheel 2B is not worn. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional side view of the periphery of the connecting rod in a state where the traveling rear wheel 2B is worn. FIG.

初期は、図8の様に連結棒20は斜めに取り付けられおり、走行用の後輪2Bも摩耗はしていないが、走行距離に比例して次第に走行用の後輪2Bは摩耗する。しかし、走行用の後輪2Bが摩耗した状態においても、図9の様に、スキージ10の連結棒20の両端が自在継手21,21に構成されている為、スキージ10は車体1の前方側に傾く事はなく、床面FRの状態にスキージ10が追従し、常に床面FRとの適正な接地角を保つ事が可能となる。   Initially, the connecting rod 20 is attached obliquely as shown in FIG. 8, and the traveling rear wheel 2B is not worn, but the traveling rear wheel 2B gradually wears in proportion to the traveling distance. However, even when the rear wheel 2B for traveling is worn, both ends of the connecting rod 20 of the squeegee 10 are constituted by the universal joints 21 and 21, as shown in FIG. The squeegee 10 follows the state of the floor surface FR and can always maintain an appropriate contact angle with the floor surface FR.

また、スキージ10の移動時には、スキージ10の前後に設けたスキージローラー17…により、スキージ10が床面FRをなぞりながら常に床面FRに追従して移動する為、スキージ10の汚水吸引効果を高めると共に、この事からスキージゴム12Aの前方が、床面FRに食い込み異常摩耗が発生したり、スキーゴム12Bの後方が床面FRから浮いた状態になり、スキージ10の高さ調整をしないと汚水が残ってしまうといった問題を解消する事が可能となり、また、起伏の多い床面FRを洗浄する場合でも上記と同様の効果を発揮することができる。   Further, when the squeegee 10 is moved, the squeegee roller 17 provided before and after the squeegee 10 moves the squeegee 10 while following the floor surface FR while tracing the floor surface FR. At the same time, the front of the squeegee rubber 12A bites into the floor surface FR, abnormal wear occurs, or the rear of the ski rubber 12B floats from the floor surface FR. If the height of the squeegee 10 is not adjusted, sewage is generated. It is possible to solve the problem of remaining, and the same effect as described above can be exhibited even when the floor surface FR with many undulations is cleaned.

尚、以上の実施例は、いずれも好適な実施例の一つに過ぎず、また連結棒20の緩衝装置は、ダンパーの様なものでも良く、また引張りスプリング23はゴムバンドのような弾性体を代わりに使用しても良く、更に引張りスプリング23の取り付け場所は、連結棒20の外側と本体シャーシ間でも良く、これらの選択は何れも任意とする。   The above embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiments, the shock absorber of the connecting rod 20 may be a damper, and the tension spring 23 is an elastic body such as a rubber band. Alternatively, the tension spring 23 may be attached between the outside of the connecting rod 20 and the main body chassis, and any of these selections is arbitrary.
