Since it is formed integrally with the cap body that is detachably attached to the end opening, the air / water separation device can be easily implemented for various water absorption tanks at low cost, and the water absorption tank can be separated by air / water separation. When the water level of the cleaning wastewater accumulated in the water exceeds the set level and the water or bubbles enter the float pocket containing the float and push the float up from the float pocket to the exhaust passage, the float floats by the suction action of the blower. Since the exhaust port is closed, it is possible to prevent water and bubbles from being sucked into the blower side through the exhaust passage.

ができる。In addition, according to the present invention, the tip inlet 3S of the exhaust case 3A to which the suction action of the blower 4 is applied is the water absorbing case 3
Since it is provided at a position which is swung approximately 90 degrees with respect to the tip outlet 3X of B, and water and bubbles discharged from the tip outlet 3X are difficult to be sucked toward the tip inlet 3S side, the water-water separation is further promoted. On the other hand, a gap 3W is provided between the exhaust case 3A and the water absorption case 3B so that the cleaning wastewater is not directly transmitted from the tip outlet 3X of the water absorption case 3B to the tip inlet 3S of the exhaust case 3A. Therefore, it is possible to prevent suction of cleaning dirty water into the exhaust case 3A.

Since the blower 4 is floated above the exhaust passage 3A where the suction action is exerted and the exhaust port 5A (float valve seat) communicating with the blower 4 is closed, it is possible to prevent the wash water DW and bubbles from entering the blower 4.

The water absorbing tank 3
Is slightly inclined, there is no concern that the cleaning wastewater DW will overflow from the exhaust port 5A and the water intake port 6A, and air-water separation, that is, water absorption from the water intake port 6A and exhaust from the exhaust port 5A will not be hindered. That can be done, and therefore
For example, the operation handle 1 to which the water absorbing tank 3 is attached
When the present invention is applied to the upright type floor cleaning machine AP that cleans the floor while rotating up and down, the suctioned cleaning wastewater is not affected by the vertical rotation of the operation handle 1. Air-water separation can be performed accurately.

機に用いて洵に好適なものである。As described above, according to the air / water separator for a floor cleaner according to the present invention, the cleaning wastewater absorbed from the floor surface by the suction force of the blower is passed through a plurality of right angle portions. Since the excellent water-water separation effect can be exhibited by colliding with the wall surface or by providing the exhaust gas inlet end at a position rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the cleaning wastewater outlet, a relatively small size can be achieved. Even if a water absorption tank is used, the cleaning water and suction bubbles inside the narrow water absorption tank can be effectively and reliably separated to prevent the cleaning water and its bubbles from entering the blower. However, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of blower failure and prolong the life of the product.When the level of the collected cleaning wastewater rises, the floats block the exhaust port leading to the blower by the water or bubbles. Also, in combination with the fact that the structure is simple and can be easily mounted on various tanks, it is suitable for use in a relatively small floor cleaning machine such as an upright type floor cleaning machine. It is a thing.
