Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a mat cleaner suitable for cleaning a floor mat to be laid on a floor surface in an automobile or other floor surface, particularly a carpet mat having long hair.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional mat cleaner, after cleaning with a cleaning liquid, dewatering is performed with a squeezing roller.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When a carpet mat with long hair was washed with a conventional mat cleaner, the squeezing roller could not sufficiently dehydrate the mat, and it was often laid again in the car until it was incompletely dried. .

Therefore, there is a problem that black matte is generated or an offensive odor is generated in a carpet mat made of a woolen cloth with long legs.

It is an object of the present invention to solve these problems and to provide a mat cleaner that does not generate black mold or an offensive odor even when a carpet mat having long hair is washed.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a feed roller, a brush, and a squeezing roller, which are sequentially arranged in a casing along a path of passage of a mat, and a sprinkling pipe having a washing liquid sprinkling hole is horizontally provided near the brush. In addition, an ozone mixed liquid supply device for supplying a mixed liquid of ozone bubbles and water is connected to the sprinkling pipe.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 A first embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a mat cleaner main body, 8 is an ozone mixed liquid supply device, 9 is a water supply source, and 7 is a hose for supplying an ozone mixed liquid from the ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 to the mat cleaner main body 1. is there.

The mat cleaner main body 1 is composed of a housing 2 and legs 3, a mat insertion opening 2 a is provided above the front of the housing 2, and a mat outlet 2 b is provided below the rear of the housing 2. A handle 4, a drain hose 5 and a power cord 6 are attached.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the main parts of the mat cleaner main body 1, in which the feed rollers 10, 10 and the brushes 11, 11 and the squeezing rollers 12, 12 are sequentially arranged along the passage a of the mat. A water sprinkling pipe 13 having water spray holes 13a for the ozone mixed liquid is provided above the brush 11.

FIG. 3 shows an internal structure of the ozone mixed liquid supply device 8. The ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 includes a conventionally known ozone generator 14, a pump device 15, and ozone generated by the ozone generator 14. It comprises an ejector 16 for mixing A and water B pressurized by the pump device 15, and supplies the ozone mixed solution C produced by the ejector 16 to the water spray pipe 13 in the mat cleaner body 1 via the hose 7. .

FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the ejector 16, in which the pressurized water B flows in from the inflow port 16a, and the flow passage is throttled to generate a negative pressure so that ozone gas is supplied from the ozone gas supply port 16b. A is sucked and a mixed liquid C of bubbles of ozone A and water B is sent to the hose 7.

The ejector 16 is made of stainless steel to withstand the corrosiveness of ozone. A check valve 16c is installed in the ozone gas supply port 16b to prevent the water B from entering the ozone generator 14 side.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

The carpet mat to be washed is inserted into the mat cleaner body 1 through the insertion opening 2a with the hair surface facing upward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the carpet mat is sent by the feed roller 10 to the rotating brush 11, and the ozone mixed solution C supplied from the water spray pipe 13 and the rotating brush 11 cause the carpet mat to move. The hair surface of the carpet mat is washed and sterilized, then dehydrated by the squeezing roller 12, and then the carpet mat exiting from the outlet 2b of the mat cleaner body 1 falls onto the mat receiver below the mat cleaner body 1. .

Here, normal sterilization by ozone is carried out by ozone water in which water is made to absorb ozone, but in the ejector method of the present invention, ozone absorption efficiency is low, and bubbles with fine ozone are fine. It has the feature that it is in a mixed state with water until the above state.

The OH radicals generated when the ozone bubbles hit and collapse have a strong bactericidal effect, and thus have a strong bactericidal effect on the hair and feet of the carpet mat.

The mat thus sterilized does not generate mold for a long time and suppresses the generation of offensive odor due to mold.

Although the pump device 15 is installed in the ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 in the above-described embodiment, if the water supply source 9 can supply the water at a pressure of about ordinary tap water, the pump device 15 can be operated. Installation may be omitted.

A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the second embodiment, instead of the ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 in the first embodiment, an ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 ′ shown in FIG. 5 is provided, and the ozone mixed liquid supply device 8 is provided. ′, A pressure switch 17 is interposed in the pipeline from the pump device 15 to the inflow port 16a of the ejector 16, and the pressure switch 17 is provided in the pipeline from the ozone generator 14 to the ozone gas supply port 16b of the ejector 16. A solenoid valve 18 interlocking with the switch 17 is interposed.

The operation of the second embodiment will be described.

When the water B having a predetermined pressure is supplied from the pump device 15 or the water supply source 9, the pressure switch 17 detects this and operates the electromagnetic valve 18 which is interlocked with the water.

When the supply of water B is cut off and the water pressure drops, the pressure switch 17 detects this and the solenoid valve 18 closes.

As described above, the ozone A is automatically supplied and stopped in response to the start and stop of the supply of the water B, so that the ozone mixed liquid C can be easily and reliably manufactured.

In the second embodiment, the check valve 16c may be omitted.

[0028]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when a carpet mat with long hair is washed, it is possible to suppress the generation of black mold and the like on the carpet mat by the bactericidal action of ozone and to suppress the generation of offensive odor. Have.
