Description
本発明は、全体として、可動の固い床面用クリーナ、より具体的には、1つ又は2つ以上の主クリーニング液体成分と組み合わせてクリーニング液体を形成することのできるクリーニング剤の実質的に一定の流量を提供すべく固い床面用クリーナにて使用される化学剤ディスペンサに関する。
工業用及び商業的建物の床をクリーニングするため固い床面用クリーナが広く使用されている。これら床面クリーナは、クリーナの後方を歩く操作者によって制御され且つ、幅38.1cm(15インチ)乃至91.44cm(36インチ)の範囲の経路をクリーニングすることのできる小型のモデルから機械に乗った操作者が制御し且つ、152.4cm(5フィート)もの幅の広い経路をクリーニングすることのできる大型のモデルまで寸法範囲がある。これらの固い床面用クリーナは、モータ作動駆動車輪と、クリーニング溶液を保持する溶液タンクと、洗浄した床から回収された汚れたクリーニング溶液を保持する回収タンクとを有している。溶液タンクからのクリーニング溶液は、洗浄ヘッドに隣接する固い床面に施される。洗浄洗浄ヘッド部は、全体として、車の前方、下方又は後方の何れかに取り付けられた1つ又は2つ以上のモータ作動洗浄ブラシを保持している。これらの洗浄ブラシは、典型的に、回転して望まれる洗浄動作を提供する。次に、汚れたクリーニング溶液を回収タンクに戻す溶液回収システムを使用して汚れたクリーニング溶液を回収
する。
本発明は、可動の固い床面用クリーナにて使用される化学剤ディスペンサであって、固い床面用クリーナに施されるクリーニング液体を形成するべく1つ以上の主クリーニング液体成分と組み合わせることのできる、実質的に一定のクリーニング剤の流れを提供する,化学剤ディスペンサに関するものである。このことは、クリーニング剤及び主クリーニング液体成分をより効率的に使用し、作動可能な運転時間をより長くし且つ、不稼動時間をより短くすることを可能にする。化学剤ディスペンサは、クリーニング剤の供給部分と、流量制御装置とを備えている。流量制御装置は、クリーニング剤の供給部分と流体的に接続されており且つ、クリーニング剤の供給部分の容積と実質的に独立的な流量を有するクリーニング剤の出力流れを含んでいる。
