DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device and a floor cleaning device which are suitable for cleaning carpets and hard floor materials that have been installed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a rotary floor polishing machine (floor cleaning device) called a polisher has been used for cleaning and waxing a floor surface. Such a polisher is provided with a rotating brush or a rotating pad, and in the case of floor cleaning, a brush or a pad is rotated while applying a detergent or a cleaning liquid to the floor and supplying water to the floor. The dirt is removed by brushing.

[0003] Carpets are often used as a floor surface material, and the carpets put on the floors become dirty as they are used, so that they need to be replaced or washed. Replacing a carpet is extremely costly, and replacing a carpet that can still be used is not preferable in terms of increasing garbage and effectively using resources. Furthermore, when replacing a carpet, the function of the building is performed while the function of the building is partially stopped, which is extremely large.

[0004] From such a viewpoint, a carpet cleaning technique has been developed, and the above-mentioned rotary floor polishing machine called a polisher is also used for cleaning the carpet. That is, a detergent and water are applied on the carpet, and the carpet is brushed by a rotating brush of a polisher, so that the detergent in the carpet is exerted to remove dirt from the carpet.

[0005]

However, the conventional carpet cleaning method has the following problems. When washing with a detergent, it is necessary to wash with water in order to remove the detergent after washing from the carpet, and in order to sufficiently remove the detergent, a large amount of water is used at the time of washing with water, and the carpet after washing is washed. It takes time to collect and dry the water. Further, depending on the material of the carpet, there is a case where a problem that the carpet itself contracts when excessive moisture is supplied is caused.

[0006] Furthermore, there are stains that cannot be easily removed even after washing with a detergent. If the amount of the detergent is increased to enhance the washing, the cost of the detergent itself increases and the detergent is sufficiently removed. The amount of water required for washing increases the time taken to collect and dry the carpet after washing. In addition, an increase in the amount of detergent used increases the amount of detergent that is discharged together with wastewater after use, which is a problem in protecting the water quality of rivers and seas. This is a protection issue.

It is also conceivable to increase the physical stimulus such as careful washing without increasing the amount of detergent, strengthening of the brushing power, and intensifying the water jet to be sprayed on the carpet. However, such strengthening of the physical stimulus significantly increases the working time and may cause deterioration of the carpet. Also, when the water flow is strong, a large amount of water tends to be used by all means, and this case also poses a problem in protecting water resources.

In such a carpet cleaning method,
Since the work from carpet cleaning to carpet drying takes time, during which time the carpet cannot be used,
Practically, the operation is performed while partially stopping the function of the room with the carpet, which is extremely large and costly. For this reason, carpets cannot be washed frequently, but are currently washed after the degree of dirt becomes severe. After the degree of dirt becomes intense like this, the dirt does not easily come off,
In order to enhance the detergency, the amount of the detergent is increased, and the physical stimulus such as brushing and water flow is strengthened. As a result, the above-described problem is caused, and a kind of vicious cycle is caused.

[0009] Unlike carpets, even hard floor materials without hair legs (such as those referred to as P tiles) have a problem that dirt cannot be easily removed after the degree of dirt becomes severe, or water is used. In washing, the hard floor material will be wet with water, so if walking on the hard floor material before the water on the hard floor material dries, dirt will adhere again from the shoe sole to the hard floor material side, It is easy to slip and may interfere with walking.

[0010] Furthermore, the wall surface has a disadvantage that the dirt is not easily removed after the degree of dirt becomes severe.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and reduces the amount of detergent and water used and sufficiently removes stains on floors and walls, including carpets, without relying on physical stimulation. Provided is a detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device and a floor cleaning device that can be removed so that the floor surface can be reliably cleaned in a short time without deteriorating a floor surface or a wall surface of a carpet or the like. With the goal.

In particular, the steam supply device 3 is configured to be detachable from the polisher 4.

The boiler 1 is provided with a caster 1A and a handle 1B for easy movement. As shown in FIG. 1, the steam supply unit 3 includes a steam head (steam injection container) 6 that receives steam generated in the boiler 1 via a steam hose 5. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the steam head 6 has an open lower surface 6A, and has a steam supply pipe 7 therein. The steam supply pipe 7 is attached to the steam head 6 via a bracket 7A.

The bracket 7A can be moved up and down by an adjusting screw 7B as an elevating mechanism.
Adjust the height position of the steam supply pipe 7 with the adjusting screw 7B.
So that the can be an integer. For example, in the case of a carpet with long hair legs such as a step, the steam supply pipe 7 is lowered so that steam can be supplied deeply into the carpet with long hair legs. In such a case, the steam supply pipe 7 is raised to suppress a rise in the temperature of the carpet.

The steam head 6 is a container made of a metal or a heat-resistant resin. As the heat-resistant resin, for example, polycarbonate having a heat-resistant temperature of 140 ° C. and high impact resistance can be used. In the steam supply pipe 7, a steam inlet 8 connected to the steam hose 5 is provided so as to be exposed to the outside of the steam head 6, and is formed downward, that is, toward the opening side of the lower surface 6A. Further, a plurality of steam injection ports 9 are provided. This allows
The steam introduced from the steam inlet 8 is injected from the steam outlet 9 toward the carpet 2.

Incidentally, the bracket 7 is adjusted by the adjusting screw 7B.
When A is raised and lowered, the steam supply pipe 7 and the steam injection port 9 can be adjusted up and down together with the bracket 7A. Therefore, the adjusting screw 7B functions as a lifting and lowering adjustment mechanism for adjusting the steam injection port 9 up and down. On the other hand, the polisher 4
3, a polisher main body 10, a stay 11 connected to the main body 10, and a handle 12 mounted on an upper end of the stay 11 are provided. The main body 10 also includes a rotating member 14 having a disk-shaped rotating brush 13 mounted thereon, a motor unit 15 for driving the rotating member 14 to rotate, a cover 16 for covering the rotating member 14 and the motor unit 11, A case 17, a tank 18 for storing the cleaning liquid, and a hose 19 for supplying the cleaning liquid from the tank 18 to the disc-shaped rotary brush 13 side are provided.

The stay 11 is pivotally attached to the case 17 via a joint mechanism (not shown).
A free angle can be set within a predetermined front-rear angle or left-right angle range with respect to 0. Therefore, the handle 12
Thus, the main body 10 can be moved while the disc-shaped rotating brush 13 is always placed horizontally along the upper surface of the carpet 2.

The handle 12 is provided with a motor control box 20 and a brush rotation control switch 20A. When the switch 20A is operated, the rotation state of the motor of the motor unit 11 is controlled through the motor control box 20. Has become. by the way,
Outer surface 1 of cover 16 constituting polisher body 10
6A is slightly upward, but the steam head (steam injection container) 6 of the steam supply device 3 has a slightly downward inner peripheral surface 21 which can be substantially aligned with the outer surface 16A of such a cover 16. Is provided. Thus, the steam head (container) 6 is configured to be detachable from the polisher body 10.

That is, the steam head 6 is placed from above the cover 16 of the polisher main body 10, and the inner peripheral surface 21 of the steam head 6 is fitted over the outer periphery of the main body 10, that is, the outer surface 16 A of the cover 16. By aligning, the steam head 6 can be attached to the polisher main body 10. In particular, a flange-shaped locking surface (locking portion) 21 </ b> A is formed above the inner peripheral surface 21 of the steam head 6, and the locking surface 21 </ b> A contacts the upper surface of the cover 16 of the polisher body 10. In contact therewith, the steam head (container) 6 can be installed at a predetermined height with respect to the polisher body 10. in this way,
Since the steam head (container) 6 is set at a predetermined vertical position with respect to the polisher body 10, the adjusting screw 7B
Thereby, the height position of the steam supply pipe 7 can be reliably achieved.

Of course, when the steam head 6 is lifted upward, the inner peripheral surface 21 of the steam head 6 is covered with the cover 16.
The steam head 6 can be easily detached from the polisher body 10 at a distance from the outer surface 16A of the polisher. In particular, the outer surface 16A of the cover 16 provided on the main body 10 of the existing polisher 4 has various shapes and sizes, but the inner peripheral surface 21 and the flange of the steam head 6 of the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device. Jo locking surface 21A is formed in a tapered song planar whose diameter increases downwardly, so that the can is fitted to the cover outer surface 16A of the plurality of shape or size. Of course, the shape of the inner peripheral surface 21 may be set so as to conform to the shape of each cover outer surface 16A with a certain accuracy.

The rotating member 14 is configured so that the disk-shaped rotating brush 13 is detachable.
Instead of 3, a disk-shaped yarn pad (pad made of cloth) can be attached. By the way, a steam trap (steam separation means) 22 is interposed in the steam supply path from the boiler 1 to the steam head 6, that is, the steam hose 5.
The steam generated by the boiler 1 is transferred to the steam trap 22.
The steam is temporarily stored therein, and only the steam heated and pressurized to a high temperature is taken out therefrom and sent to the steam head 6.

The steam trap 22 is a sealed container, and as shown in FIG. 3, a first nipple 2 for connecting a steam hose 5A led from the boiler 1 to an upper portion thereof.
2A, a second nipple 22B for connecting the steam hose 5 to the steam head 6, and a third nipple 22C for connecting a hose 23 for discharging liquefied water of steam. A cock 24 is provided on the first nipple 22A.
Is provided, so that the steam from the boiler 1 can be supplied or cut off, and the supply amount can be adjusted.

The third nipple 22C has a lower end extending to the bottom of the steam trap 22 in the container, and water vapor is liquefied, and water accumulated in the bottom of the steam trap 22 is removed from the steam trap 22 in the container. The water is discharged from the third nipple 22C to the outside by the vapor pressure, and is housed in a water recovery container (not shown) provided at the other end of the hose 23.

The second nipple 22B is open to the upper space in the steam trap 22 so that only the high-temperature steam filled in the upper space in the steam trap 22 can be sent to the steam head 6. Has become. In addition, the temperature of the carpet 2 is set to 60 to 10 by steam.
It is desirable to warm to about 0 ° C., and in such a temperature range, the stain on the carpet 2 can be sufficiently decomposed and released.

Since the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device according to the first embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the floor unit 10 of the polisher 4 is first used for cleaning the floor.
The steam head 6 is attached to the polisher body 10 so that the inner peripheral surface 21 of the steam head 6 is aligned with the outer surface 16A of the cover 16 from above the cover 16.

Then, the boiler 1 is operated to generate steam, and the generated steam is sent to the steam head 6 via the steam hose 5A, the steam trap 22, and the steam hose 5. At this time, in the steam trap 22, the steam generated in the boiler 1 is temporarily stored therein, and only the steam heated and pressurized to a high temperature is taken out therefrom and sent to the steam head 6.

Then, sufficiently high-temperature steam is sent from the steam inlet 8 of the steam head 6 to the steam supply pipe 7 through the steam hose 5, and from a plurality of steam injection ports 9 formed in the steam supply pipe 7. Injected toward the carpet 2. As a result, the temperature of the carpet 2 becomes 60
The polisher 4 is operated while operating the handle 12 and the brush rotation control switch 20A while warming to a temperature range higher than about ° C (about 60 to 90 ° C). Then, the disc-shaped rotary brush 13 of the polisher body 10 is rotationally driven while supplying a cleaning liquid in which a detergent and water are appropriately mixed to the carpet 2, and the carpet 2 is brushed.

In this way, by heating the carpet 2 to a high temperature of, for example, 60 ° C. or more with high-temperature steam,
Dirt attached to or between fibers is decomposed and released from the fibers. Then, by brushing the carpet 2 with the rotating brush 13 while supplying the cleaning liquid, the cleaning action of the detergent is efficiently performed, and the dirt is decomposed and released from the fibers of the carpet 2 and the carpet 2 is brushed or brushed to remove the carpet. The carpet 2 moves toward the foaming foam on the carpet 2, and the carpet 2 is purified.

When the steam head 6 is moved slowly, the supply amount of high-temperature steam per unit area is increased, and the temperature of the carpet 2 can be further increased. When the moving speed of the steam head 6 is increased, the unit speed is increased. The supply amount of high-temperature steam per area decreases, and the degree of temperature rise of the carpet 2 can be reduced. Since the steam head 6 moves integrally with the main body 10 of the polisher 4, by adjusting the moving speed of the polisher 4, the supply amount of high-temperature steam to the carpet 2 is adjusted, and the temperature and the steam supply amount of the carpet 2 are adjusted. Can be controlled.

Therefore, when cleaning is performed while moving the main body 10 of the polisher 4 while holding the handle 12,
If the moving speed is set according to the stain on the carpet 2, the washing can be performed efficiently. That is, if the carpet 2 is heavily soiled, the moving speed is reduced, and the steam head 6 heats and humidifies the soiled portion of the carpet 2 to release the stain, and brushing with the brush 13 is performed.

After finishing such a process, as a finish, the disk-shaped rotating brush 13 attached to the rotating member 14 is replaced with a disk-shaped yarn pad, and the yarn pad is attached to the carpet 2 while rotating. Wipe off any water and detergent. As a result, dirt released from the fibers of the carpet 2 together with the water and the detergent in the carpet 2 is also collected on the yarn pad side.

Of course, even if the wiping operation using the yarn pad is performed as described above, moisture remains in the carpet 2. However, since the moisture remaining in the carpet 2 is also high in temperature due to water vapor, The remaining moisture evaporates quickly even by natural drying, and the drying of the carpet 2 is completed. Since the carpet is cleaned while supplying high-temperature steam in this manner, the following effects and advantages can be obtained.

When high-temperature steam is supplied to the fibers of the carpet 2, dirt is decomposed or released or easily decomposed or released from the fibers of the carpet 2, thereby reducing the amount of detergent used or removing the detergent from the carpet. The carpet can be sufficiently washed while greatly reducing the amount of water used. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost of using the detergent and the water, and to significantly reduce the time required for collecting and drying the moisture of the carpet after washing. Furthermore, the amount of detergent discharged together with drainage after use is reduced, which can promote protection of river and sea water quality, and can also protect water resources.
And since the supply of water to the carpet is small, it is possible to avoid contraction of the carpet itself due to excessive water supply.

Further, the brushing power is enhanced,
Since the carpet can be washed without increasing the physical stimulus such as intensifying the water flow injected into the carpet, the working time can be significantly reduced, and
Carpet deterioration can also be prevented. Since the work time from carpet cleaning to carpet drying can be significantly reduced, the time required to stop the function of the room where the carpet is installed can be significantly reduced, and the carpet can be easily cleaned. be able to. Therefore, the carpet can be washed with a light load before the carpet is seriously soiled, that is, while the carpet is lightly soiled.

In other words, by cleaning the carpet in light dirt, the dirt removal is improved, and the cleaning management of the carpet can be performed more completely at low cost. As a result, the carpet can always be used with no or little stain. In particular, in the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device, the steam head (container) 6 of the steam supply unit 3 is externally fitted to the main body 10 of the existing polisher (floor cleaning device) 4 to supply high-temperature steam. Since the brushing by the polisher (floor cleaning equipment) 4 can be performed while supplying high-temperature steam to the fibers of the carpet 2, the above-mentioned effects (1) to (3) can be obtained at low cost while using existing equipment.

The inner peripheral surface 21 and the flange-shaped engaging surface 21A of the steam head 6 of the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device are formed in a tapered shape that expands in a downward direction. Since the cover outer surface 16A can be installed at a predetermined height by being externally fitted to the cover outer surface 16A having the size,
Can be used by being attached to various types of polishers 4 having different advantages.

Also, an adjusting screw 7B as a lifting / lowering adjusting mechanism
The height position of the steam supply pipe 7 is adjusted by the
The steam supply pipe 7 can be lowered if the steam is to be supplied deeply into the carpet, and the steam supply pipe 7 can be raised if the steam is not to be deeply supplied into the carpet. Good. For example, in the case of a carpet vulnerable to the heat of steam, the carpet can be washed while appropriately protecting the carpet by raising the steam supply pipe 7.

In addition, since the carpet is sufficiently heated,
It has a bactericidal effect, and has the advantage that it can also exterminate pests such as mites attached to the carpet, prevent the propagation of cockroaches, remove germs and prevent mold. During the wiping operation using the yarn pad, the steam head 6 is detached from the main body 10 of the polisher 4, but during the wiping operation, the steam head 6 is left attached, and high-temperature steam is injected from the steam injection port 9 to the carpet 2. The wiping operation using the yarn pad may be performed while doing so.

In this case, the yarn pad becomes a steamed towel shape, and the high temperature steam can further clean the carpet 2 and further raise the temperature of the fibers of the carpet 2, so that the yarn pad remains on the carpet 2 after the wiping operation. The evaporated water can be more quickly evaporated, and the residual detergent from the carpet 2 can be more efficiently wiped off by the yarn pad, so that the amount of detergent remaining on the carpet 2 can be significantly reduced, and the carpet can be removed. A cleaner state can be obtained.

Further, in this case, the supplied water vapor is held between the yarn pad and the yarn pad which is in sliding contact with the carpet 2, and the retention of the water vapor in the fiber of the carpet 2 is promoted, so that the fiber of the carpet 2 is reliably heated to a high temperature. -Since the humid condition can be achieved, the effect of cleaning the carpet by the steam itself, which does not rely on the action of the detergent, is extremely high. Furthermore, the steam head 6 may be configured to inject hot air instead of water vapor, and the wiping operation using a yarn pad may be performed while injecting high-temperature hot air from the steam injection port 9 to the carpet 2. In this case, drying of the carpet 2 is promoted by the high-temperature hot air. There is an advantage that the time required to complete the carpet cleaning (that is, to dry the carpet to a use state) can be significantly reduced.

Further, the yarn pad is provided with the steam head 6.
Remove from the inside out and install it so that you can use a clean surface, or use a dirty yarn pad or rotating brush 1
3 can be replaced with a clean one or the like, so that the stain on the carpet 2 can be reliably wiped off. In addition, the cleaning can be performed while appropriately adjusting the supply state of the steam through the cock 24, and the washing can be efficiently performed by appropriately supplying the steam according to the state of the carpet 2.

Further, a yarn pad is attached to the polisher (floor cleaning equipment) 4, and the carpet is wiped only by the yarn pad without supplying a detergent or the like to the yarn pad. The carpet may be washed by a washing action of only high-temperature steam (decomposition / release action of dirt). By the way, in the above-described embodiment, the cleaning of the generally constructed carpet is described. However, the auxiliary device for detachable floor cleaning cleans not only the generally constructed carpet but also various floors (the floors to be cleaned). can do.

That is, in recent years, floors of tile carpets called access floors, which are widely used in office buildings and the like, have been disliked from using water for cleaning because of the wiring and the like provided at the bottom. Although there was no cleaning method other than adopting a dry powder method for removing oily dirt, as described above, the steam head 6 of the steam supply device 3 was fitted over the main body 10 of the polisher 4 and the polisher 4 was removed. The tile carpet can be sufficiently cleaned even when a yarn pad is mounted on the tile carpet and the steam pad 6 supplies high-temperature steam to the tile carpet while wiping the carpet surface with the yarn pad.

In this case, since dry powder is not used, there is no trouble due to residual powder, and the tile carpet is sterilized by high-temperature steam to control and prevent pests such as mites, cockroaches, etc. Since the prevention of the occurrence of water pollution is also performed, there are some which have a great sanitary effect. Further, for example, floors (cleaning target floors) such as hard floor materials (eg, resin tiles) widely used in kitchens and toilets can be sufficiently cleaned by using felt packing and heat-resistant brushes. .

Also, 90 ° instead of steam from the boiler 1 is used.
Since high-temperature water (hot water) of C or more can be supplied onto the floor, a heat-resistant brush is attached to the polisher 4 and the polisher 4 is discharged while discharging such high-temperature water from the steam supply unit 3.
, And the floor surface is brushed with a heat-resistant brush, so that the hard floor (the floor other than the carpet) can be widely cleaned using the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device.

The floor cleaning using such high-temperature steam or high-temperature water can be performed without using chemicals.
Without draining wastewater containing chemicals,
Floor cleaning can be performed without any treatment that leads to water pollution or environmental destruction. In addition, rotating brush 1
The driving of the yarn pad 3 and the yarn pad is not limited to the rotary type, but may be a reciprocating type.

The locking portion provided above the inner peripheral surface 21 of the steam head 6 is not limited to the flange-shaped locking surface 21A, but may be a simple projection or the like .

It can be used for wall surface cleaning, and the same effect as floor cleaning can be obtained by steam cleaning. Also,
The liquid used for cleaning as vapor is not limited to water, and any liquid having a detergency can be used as vapor.

[0072]

As described above in detail, according to the detachable floor cleaning auxiliary device of the present invention, an existing floor cleaning device (for example, a polisher) is used, and the floor cleaning device is used for the present invention. Just by installing the device, floor cleaning using the action of decomposing and releasing dirt on the floor to be cleaned due to the high temperature and high humidity of the steam allows a small amount of water to be used without relying on detergent or water and without using detergent. Sufficient cleaning performance can be obtained while using water, making it easier to collect and dry water on the floor to be cleaned, such as carpets after cleaning, and have the effect of reducing costs and significantly shortening the work time. Can be obtained.

As a result, the floor of a carpet or the like can be easily cleaned, and the carpet or the like can be cleaned with a light burden before the carpet or the like becomes very dirty, that is, among light dirt. . As a result,
It becomes possible to use the carpet or the like in a clean state or a clean state. Further, there is an advantage that it is possible to reduce a waste amount of the detergent after use in drainage, to promote protection of water quality of rivers and seas, and to protect water resources.

[0074] Also, if the carpet washing subject surface is stretched, the water supply to the carpet is small, on which can also avoid excessive moisture supply carpet itself due to shrinkage, the carpet Since the carpet can be washed without increasing the physical stimulus such as intensifying the water flow to be jetted, the working time can be greatly reduced and the carpet can be prevented from being deteriorated.

[0075] Further, washing further objects or target floor is composed of a flooring without hair legs hard floor material or the like other than the carpet by the use of the device on the wall, similar to the use of the carpet In addition, the cleaning can be performed reliably at a low cost in a short time. Of course, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent after use in drainage, which can promote the protection of water quality in rivers and seas.
