上記の技術的観点から、本発明の技術的課題が、従来の掃除機を改良して、公知の装置に完全な掃除を可能にすることとして見出される。   From the above technical point of view, the technical problem of the present invention is found as an improvement of the conventional vacuum cleaner to allow a complete cleaning of known devices.

この課題は、進行方向に関して掃除ブラシの後ろに配置され、さらに乾燥ユニットがその後ろに配置された溶液散布ユニットが形成された、請求項１の発明によって、略、基本的に解決される。この構成によれば、完全な掃除、特に固い床についての掃除が可能である。この発明は、そのような硬い床の通常の完全な掃除ができないことを示す。むしろ、その後に、固い床の加湿が共通して必要である。本発明による掃除機は、掃除機に加湿を行わせる可能性を提供する。これによって、１回の作業で固い床の完全な掃除が可能になる。この操作性向上の解決方法は、これまでの通常の多くの作業及び対応する準備時間を切り離す。さらに、本発明による掃除機の構成は、例えば掃除ロボット等の自立走行型の掃除機、及び、手押し型又はハンドル操作型の掃除機の両方が可能である。掃除機（清掃ユニット、溶液散布ユニット、及び乾燥ユニット)の使用者の各グループは、同じように作業でき、好ましい。しかしながらまた、各使用者のグループが要求に応じて接続できるような、解決方法であってもよい。特許請求の範囲に記載した発明の解決方法によって、固い床、特に家庭内の床の、新しいタイプの掃除方法であって、１度でほぼ作業が完了し、その後に固い床上に溶液の散布が、そして最後に埃が移動した溶液の膜を吸収することが、実施される掃除方法が、提供される。この構成によれば、固い床の掃除は、長い準備時間を要せず、例えば、通常の加湿及び吸い取りの場合等での、埃又は掃除溶液へのボディの接触が無く、ボディの少ない取り付けのみで実現される。さらに、本発明による掃除機は、また、床面、及び、例えば壁面、シャワーパーティション、又は同様のものの垂直面の、清掃及び加湿を可能にする。さらに改善された掃除結果を実現するために、溶液散布ユニットによって加湿された床が機械的に処理される、掃除ローラが乾燥ユニットの前に配置されるように、備えられる。そして、固い床の頑固な汚れも、一度の作業で除去できる。掃除は、電動モータで回転駆動される掃除ローラを用いて、優れた掃除結果を得るために掃除する部分の上で前後に複数回移動させることなしに、好ましく実行される。掃除ローラは、掃除用の布が張られるのが好ましい。これに代えて、掃除ローラは、またブラシローラでもよい。従来の拭き取り器又は同様のものを用い、汚れた部分を１回の面走行で行う、より広い面の機械的な掃除を達成するために、さらに、掃除ローラが、掃除機の走行速度に比較して高い相対速度で床に対して回転されるように、構成される。そして、掃除ローラの直径が４０−６０ｍｍの場合は、掃除ローラの掃除速度が５００ｒｐｍ以上、例えば１０００ｒｐｍに設定される。進行方向に関して掃除ブラシの後方に配置され、制御スリットが進行方向に関して直角に形成された、溶液散布ユニットは、掃除溶液を用いる床掃除のユーザに、有益である。溶液散布ユニットは、進行方向に関して直交する方向に更なる散布ノズルが形成された構成でもよい。溶液の散布は、バルブを開閉して重力を利用して行われるのでもよい。溶液の散布は、例えば、小型のメンブレンポンプ等の制御ポンプ等の装置によって、行われる構成でもよい。目標の散布には、わずかの量の掃除溶液で床掃除のユーザに十分である。そして、散布は、１０ｍ２当たり、０．２５〜１リットルが好ましく、さらには、０．５リットルが好ましい。ここで、所定の場合は、新鮮な水のタンク及び必要に応じて設けられる汚れた水のタンクが、相対的に小さなものでもよい。頑固な汚れ部分に大量の掃除溶液を必要とせず、又は、フローリング、膜で覆われた床等の、傷つきやすい床に少なく調節された量を散布するため、散布量が制御可能であることが、有用であることが明らかになる。床上に残された汚れた水は、最終的には乾燥ユニットによって除去されるが、後者は吸気ユニットであってもよい。このような吸気ユニットは、気流を生成する吸気モータ及び／又はブラシモータと、調節可能なスリットと共に設けられる。乾燥ユニットが拭き取り布として設けられる構成は、好ましい。ここで、そのような拭き取り布は、掃除機の底の部分に張られた布であってもよい。さらに好ましい構成では、拭き取り布は、回転するように配置される。このような、特に、非常にゆっくりと回転する拭き取り布が幅広く設けられ、これが底に張られた拭き取り布として、この幅の広さで、より多くの溶液が吸い取られるのでもよい。補助的に、回転する拭き取り布がプレスによって乾燥され、出てくる溶液が収集容器内に流れ込むのでもよい。これに、例えば、１対のローラが設けられ、これらの間を拭き取り布が通されるのでもよい。本特許発明の更なる好ましい構成では、掃除機がバッテリーによって駆動され、これが、特に掃除ロボット等の自立走行型掃除機、及び、手押し型又はハンドル操作型の掃除機において、利点であることが明らかになる。バッテリーを用いて、回転掃除ブラシと掃除ローラの両方、及び乾燥ユニットが、特に、回転する拭き取り布が駆動され、さらに、例えば付加されたエレクトロニックスを用いて、溶液散布の量が制御可能にされるのでもよい。このエレクトロニックスを用いて、溶液の散布のために、ポンプ又はバルブに、所望の量が所定の間隔で供給されるのでもよい。さらに、特に自立走行型掃除機に関しては、公知の汚れセンサを有し、溶液の散布量が、掃除する硬い床の検知された汚れに応じて自動的に調節される構成でもよい。進行方向に関して溶液散布ユニットの前に配置された掃除ブラシの粗い埃の回収は、モータ駆動された掃除ブラシが、埃傾斜プレートを用いて埃を抜き取り、例えばカタツムリの殻の形状のコンテナ等の集塵室に運ぶ等によって、集塵室内に落とす公知の方法で行われる。集塵室は、掃除処理の後に引き出されて空にされるのでも、吸気ノズルを用いて吸気されるのでもよい。これに関しては、上記の特許文献１が参照され、この内容が、これでもって、先の発明の公開に十分に取り込まれ、又、本特許出願の目的及び特徴に関しても、先の出願の特許請求の範囲内に取り込まれている。 This problem is substantially solved basically by the invention according to claim 1 in which a solution spraying unit is formed which is arranged behind the cleaning brush with respect to the direction of travel and further has a drying unit arranged behind it. According to this configuration, complete cleaning, particularly cleaning of hard floors, is possible. The present invention shows that a normal complete cleaning of such hard floors is not possible. Rather, a hard floor humidification is commonly required thereafter. The vacuum cleaner according to the present invention offers the possibility of having the vacuum cleaner humidify. This makes it possible to clean the hard floor completely in one operation. This improved operability solution separates many conventional tasks and corresponding preparation times. Furthermore, the structure of the cleaner according to the present invention can be both a self-running cleaner such as a cleaning robot and a hand-held or handle-operated cleaner. Each group of users of the vacuum cleaner (cleaning unit, solution spraying unit and drying unit) can work in the same way and is preferred. However, it may also be a solution that allows each user group to connect on demand. According to the solution of the claimed invention, a new type of cleaning method for hard floors, especially home floors, is almost completed at one time, after which the application of the solution onto the hard floor is performed. A cleaning method is provided in which the film of the solution to which the dust has finally moved is absorbed. According to this configuration, the cleaning of a hard floor does not require a long preparation time, for example, in the case of normal humidification and blotting, there is no contact of the body with dust or cleaning solution, only the installation with a small body It is realized with. Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner according to the invention also allows cleaning and humidification of floor surfaces and vertical surfaces of eg wall surfaces, shower partitions or the like. In order to achieve a further improved cleaning result, it is provided that a cleaning roller is arranged in front of the drying unit where the floor humidified by the solution spreading unit is mechanically treated. And stubborn dirt on hard floors can be removed in a single operation. Cleaning is preferably carried out using a cleaning roller that is rotationally driven by an electric motor, without having to move it back and forth several times on the part to be cleaned to obtain an excellent cleaning result. The cleaning roller is preferably stretched with a cleaning cloth. Alternatively, the cleaning roller may also be a brush roller. In order to achieve a wider surface mechanical cleaning, using a conventional wiper or similar, with the soiled part in one surface travel, the cleaning roller is also compared to the travel speed of the cleaner And is configured to be rotated relative to the floor at a high relative speed. And when the diameter of a cleaning roller is 40-60 mm, the cleaning speed of a cleaning roller is set to 500 rpm or more, for example, 1000 rpm. The solution spraying unit, which is arranged behind the cleaning brush with respect to the direction of travel and the control slits are formed at right angles with respect to the direction of travel, is beneficial for floor cleaning users who use cleaning solutions. The solution spraying unit may have a configuration in which further spray nozzles are formed in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction. The solution may be sprayed using gravity by opening and closing a valve. For example, the solution may be sprayed by a device such as a control pump such as a small membrane pump. For target spraying, a small amount of cleaning solution is sufficient for floor cleaning users. And as for spraying, 0.25-1 liter is preferable per 10 m < 2 >, Furthermore, 0.5 liter is preferable. Here, in a predetermined case, a fresh water tank and a dirty water tank provided as necessary may be relatively small. A large amount of cleaning solution is not required for stubborn soiled parts, or a small amount of spraying is applied to vulnerable floors such as flooring, membrane-covered floors, etc. To be useful. Dirty water left on the floor is eventually removed by the drying unit, but the latter may be an intake unit. Such an intake unit is provided with an intake motor and / or a brush motor that generates an air flow and an adjustable slit. A configuration in which the drying unit is provided as a wiping cloth is preferable. Here, such a wiping cloth may be a cloth stretched on the bottom portion of the vacuum cleaner. In a further preferred configuration, the wipe is arranged to rotate. A wide range of such wipes, especially rotating very slowly, may be provided, and as a wipe wiped on the bottom, more of this solution may be sucked up with this width. Additionally, the rotating wipe may be dried by a press and the solution coming out may flow into the collection container. For example, a pair of rollers may be provided, and a wiping cloth may be passed between them. In a further preferred configuration of the present invention, the cleaner is powered by a battery, which is clearly an advantage especially in self-running cleaners such as cleaning robots and hand-held or handle operated cleaners. become. Using the battery, both the rotating cleaning brush and the cleaning roller, and the drying unit, in particular, the rotating wipes are driven, and further the amount of solution spraying can be controlled, for example using added electronics. It may be. Using this electronics, a desired amount may be supplied to the pump or valve at predetermined intervals for spraying the solution. Further, particularly for a self-running cleaner, a known dirt sensor may be provided, and the amount of solution sprayed may be automatically adjusted according to the detected dirt on the hard floor to be cleaned. The collection of coarse dust on the cleaning brush arranged in front of the solution spraying unit with respect to the direction of travel is accomplished by a motor-driven cleaning brush that uses a dust inclined plate to extract dust and collects eg snail shell shaped containers. It is carried out by a known method of dropping into the dust collection chamber, for example, by carrying it to the dust chamber. The dust collection chamber may be drawn out after the cleaning process and evacuated, or may be sucked using an intake nozzle. In this regard, reference is made to the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, and the contents thereof are sufficiently incorporated in the publication of the previous invention, and the claims and claims of the previous application are also related to the purpose and features of this patent application. Is included in the range.

本発明は、掃除機、特に上記の掃除機に関し、ベースステーションを有する自立走行型掃除機の構成において、掃除機が利用されないときに、バッテリーの充電等のためにベースステーションに停留ものに関する。類似の自立走行型掃除機とベースステーションの組み合わせは、上記の特許文献２から知られている。そこに記載されたベースステーションは、バッテリーの充電の他に埃収納室の排気にも用いられ、別個の吸収ノズルを用いて、対応する埃の吸い取りが内部で行われる。本特許出願の内容は、先の発明の公開に十分に含まれ、また、本特許出願の目的及び特徴に関しても、先の出願の特許請求の範囲内に取り込まれている。   The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, in particular, to the above-described vacuum cleaner, and more particularly, to a structure of a self-running vacuum cleaner having a base station that is stopped at the base station for charging a battery or the like when the vacuum cleaner is not used. A similar combination of a self-propelled cleaner and a base station is known from the above-mentioned Patent Document 2. The base station described therein is used not only for charging the battery but also for exhausting the dust storage chamber, and the corresponding dust is sucked in using a separate absorption nozzle. The contents of this patent application are well contained in the publication of the previous invention, and the purpose and features of this patent application are also incorporated in the claims of the previous application.

類似の組み合わせをさらに改善するために、ベースステーション内に、掃除機ブラシ及び／又は乾燥ユニット用の清掃ユニットが設けられることが、提案される。かかる清掃ユニットは、また、上記の従来技術等から知られるような乾燥型清掃ユニットであってもよい。さらに、掃除機内に、上記の発明による、乾燥処理及び乾燥ユニットが設けられるのでもよい。そして、好ましくは、掃除機がベースステーション内に停留している間に、装置側のバッテリーの充電の他に装置の底処理装置の清掃が、実施される。これによって、好ましくは、停留状態において、装置は、掃除ブラシ及び／又は乾燥ユニットのところに付着して残っている埃を除去する。また、ベースステーション内に掃除ローラ用の掃除ユニットが設けられることが、提案される。さらに、清掃ユニットが清掃ブラシによって構成され、さらに、幾つかの清掃ブラシが、装置の別個の清掃コンポーネントに一緒に配置される、構成が提案される。装置のブラシが、それぞれ、部分的に清掃溶液内に浸り、又は、そのように使用可能であり、これによって、装置の清掃ユニットの乾燥清掃が実施可能である。清掃ユニットは、また、例えば、底洗浄用の清掃ユニットの態様で、ベースステーションの清掃槽の底に、掃除機のために配置され、そして、複数の清掃ブラシが清掃液を溜めておくタブ内に配置され、このタブが装置によって、周辺の支持体を下にして乗られるように、構成される。これに関連して、清掃ユニットのタブは、装置がベースステーション上に乗るときに開き、そして、ベースステーションから離れるときに自動的に閉じるのでもよい。本発明の解決方法の更なる利点は、ベースステーション内に掃除機のタンクに充填するために、溶液格納器が設けられることにある。この掃除機タンクは、固い床の加湿清掃に役立つ掃除溶液を格納する。本発明によれば、このタンクは、装置の停留状態で装置側の溶液格納器を用いて再び充填される。この充填は、例えば、掃除機タンクが溶液格納器に停留することによって、自動的に行われるのでもよい。この装置側のタンクは、自動的に閉じるバルブを有するのでもよい。これに関連して、また、ベースステーション内に汚れた水の回収コンテナが設けられることが、好ましいことが示される。そして、装置の停留状態で、ベースステーション内で、吸い込まれた汚れた水を格納するコンテナが、さらに好ましくは、自動的に例えばドック及び重力を利用して排水される。   In order to further improve similar combinations, it is proposed that a cleaning unit for the cleaner brush and / or the drying unit is provided in the base station. Such a cleaning unit may also be a dry cleaning unit as known from the above-mentioned prior art. Furthermore, a drying process and a drying unit according to the above-described invention may be provided in the vacuum cleaner. And preferably, while the cleaner is stopped in the base station, cleaning of the bottom treatment device of the device is performed in addition to charging the battery on the device side. Thereby, preferably in the stationary state, the device removes dust remaining on the cleaning brush and / or the drying unit. It is also proposed that a cleaning unit for the cleaning roller is provided in the base station. Furthermore, a configuration is proposed in which the cleaning unit is constituted by a cleaning brush and furthermore several cleaning brushes are arranged together in separate cleaning components of the apparatus. Each of the apparatus brushes can be partially immersed or used in a cleaning solution, whereby a dry cleaning of the apparatus cleaning unit can be performed. The cleaning unit is also arranged in a tab where a plurality of cleaning brushes collect cleaning liquid, for example, in the form of a cleaning unit for bottom cleaning, at the bottom of the base station cleaning tub and for the cleaner. The tab is configured to be ridden by the device with the surrounding support down. In this connection, the tab of the cleaning unit may open when the device rides on the base station and automatically closes when leaving the base station. A further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that a solution reservoir is provided for filling the tank of the vacuum cleaner in the base station. This vacuum cleaner tank stores a cleaning solution that helps humidify and clean hard floors. According to the present invention, this tank is refilled using the solution reservoir on the device side while the device is stationary. This filling may be performed automatically, for example, by the vacuum cleaner tank stopping in the solution storage. The tank on the device side may have a valve that closes automatically. In this connection, it is also indicated that it is preferable to provide a dirty water collection container in the base station. And, in a stationary state of the apparatus, the container storing the sucked dirty water in the base station is more preferably automatically drained using, for example, a dock and gravity.

This is carried out continuously during the mechanical brushing of the hard floor 7 to be cleaned with the cleaning brush 6, the dust particles being placed on the dust inclined plate located behind the cleaning brush 6 with respect to the direction of travel r. 8 is carried into the dust collection chamber 9. The latter and the dust inclined plate 8 rising toward the latter are formed in the shape of a snail shell having a cross section shown in FIG. 3 so that the dust taken into the dust collecting chamber 9 does not come out again without permission. ing.

さらに、掃除ブラシ６又は埃傾斜プレート８の後方に（ｒで示された進行方向に）、溶液散布ユニット１０が設けられる。これは、掃除ブラシ６と埃傾斜プレート８とがシャーシの底１２を突き抜ける部分の、進行方向ｒに直交する方向に向けられた調節スリット１３内から散布される掃除用液体を貯めるタンク１１を備える。この調節スリット１３は、バルブ１４を用いて開閉可能となっている。   Further, a solution spraying unit 10 is provided behind the cleaning brush 6 or the dust inclined plate 8 (in the traveling direction indicated by r). This includes a tank 11 for storing a cleaning liquid sprayed from within an adjustment slit 13 oriented in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction r, where the cleaning brush 6 and the dust inclined plate 8 penetrate the bottom 12 of the chassis. . The adjustment slit 13 can be opened and closed using a valve 14.

溶液の散布は、バルブ１４の開放後に重力を利用して行われる。また、調節ポンプを用いて実行する構成でもよい。さらに、溶液の散布の制御が、行われる。この制御は、マニュアルでレギュレータを用いて行われるのでもよい。掃除機１に選択可能に設けられた、掃除する床７の汚れの度合いを検出できる汚れセンサとの組み合わせで、電子的な評価装置を利用して制御が行われるのでもよい。   The solution is sprayed using gravity after the valve 14 is opened. Moreover, the structure performed using an adjustment pump may be sufficient. In addition, the application of the solution is controlled. This control may be performed manually using a regulator. Control may be performed using an electronic evaluation device in combination with a dirt sensor that can be selected in the vacuum cleaner 1 and that can detect the degree of dirt on the floor 7 to be cleaned.

進行方向ｒに関して溶液散布ユニット１０の後方に、進行方向ｒと直交する方向に掃除ブラシ６に等く伸び、その回転方向が回転ブラシ６と同一方向の、掃除ローラ１５が設けられる。図３に示す構成では、掃除用ローラ１５によって、ブラシローラが、溶液散布ユニット１０を用いて加湿される固い床７の、機械的なブラシ処理に向けられることが重要である。   A cleaning roller 15 that extends equally to the cleaning brush 6 in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction r and whose rotation direction is the same as that of the rotating brush 6 is provided behind the solution spraying unit 10 with respect to the traveling direction r. In the configuration shown in FIG. 3, it is important that the cleaning roller 15 directs the brush roller to mechanical brushing of the hard floor 7 that is humidified using the solution spreading unit 10.

特に、掃除ローラ１５の回転速度は、掃除機１の走行速度と比較して速さの相対速度で、硬い床７に対向して回転するように、調節されている。そのため、掃除ローラ１５と掃除ブラシ６の両方が、１０００ ｒｐｍ程度の速度で回転する。   In particular, the rotational speed of the cleaning roller 15 is adjusted so as to be opposed to the hard floor 7 at a relative speed faster than the traveling speed of the cleaner 1. Therefore, both the cleaning roller 15 and the cleaning brush 6 rotate at a speed of about 1000 rpm.

図４に図示された実施例で示されるように、掃除ローラ１５は、また、掃除シート１６が張られている。   As shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning roller 15 is also provided with a cleaning sheet 16.

進行方向ｒに関して後方に、乾燥ユニット１７が、固い床７の上の汚れたミスを吸い取るために設けられる。この乾燥ユニット１７は吸気ユニットであって、これに、掃除機１内の図示しない吸気ファンが配置されるのでもよい。これに、溶液トラップが割り当てられるのでもよい。   Backward with respect to the direction of travel r, a drying unit 17 is provided for sucking up dirty mistakes on the hard floor 7. The drying unit 17 is an air intake unit, and an air intake fan (not shown) in the cleaner 1 may be disposed therein. This may be assigned a solution trap.

図３に図示するように、乾燥ユニット１７は、また、シャーシの底１２に張られた拭き取り布１８によって簡易に形成され、多量の溶液を吸い取るために、対応して調整されるのでもよい。   As shown in FIG. 3, the drying unit 17 may also be simply formed by a wipe 18 stretched on the bottom 12 of the chassis and correspondingly adjusted to absorb large amounts of solution.

これに代えて、図４に図示するように、乾燥ユニット１７は、垂直面内で回転ローラ１９の周りに電動モータ駆動で回転する拭き取り布１８からなるのでもよい。この無限軌道型の拭き取り布の回転速度は、低く設定される。これに代わる解決手段は、幅広でかつ長く、このように回転する拭き取り布１８が、その卓越した長さで多量の溶液を吸収するようになっているのでもよい。   Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the drying unit 17 may include a wiping cloth 18 that rotates around the rotation roller 19 by an electric motor drive in a vertical plane. The rotational speed of the endless track wipe is set low. An alternative solution may be wide and long, so that the wiping cloth 18 rotating in this way absorbs a large amount of solution at its outstanding length.

回転する拭き取り布は、絞り出しによって乾燥され、そのために、一対のローラ２０が設けられ、これらの間を拭き取り布１８が通るのでもよい。これらのローラ２０を用いて拭き取り布１８が絞られ、これによって出てきた液体が収液コンテナ２１内に集められる。   The rotating wiping cloth is dried by squeezing, and therefore, a pair of rollers 20 may be provided, and the wiping cloth 18 may pass between them. The wiping cloth 18 is squeezed using these rollers 20, and the liquid thus discharged is collected in the liquid collection container 21.

さらに、図４に図示するように、回転する拭き取り布１８が、汚れた水を吸収するために比較的に大きな接触面で床７の上を処理するよう駆動されることは、さらに好ましい。   Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 4, it is further preferred that the rotating wipe 18 is driven to treat the floor 7 with a relatively large contact surface to absorb dirty water.

本発明による、粗い埃の回収（掃除ブラシ６及び集塵室９によって構成される）と、溶液散布ユニット１０、掃除ローラ１５、及び終段の乾燥ユニット１７とが装置内にシリアルに接続された構成によって、簡易かつここから加湿して行う、固い床の完全な清掃が実現できる。特に、粗い埃の回収が掃除によって略行われる条件下では、引き続く加湿下での清掃は、通常の汚れに対して、相対的に少ない溶液の散布のみでよい。そのため、好ましい実施例では、略１リットルの溶液が、２０平方メートル程度の広さの床掃除には十分である。これに応じて、タンク１１と収液コンテナ２１とを全く設けなくてもよく、もってコンパクトな構成の掃除機１が得られる。   According to the present invention, rough dust collection (consisting of a cleaning brush 6 and a dust collecting chamber 9), a solution spraying unit 10, a cleaning roller 15, and a final drying unit 17 are serially connected in the apparatus. Depending on the configuration, complete cleaning of the hard floor can be achieved, which is simple and humidified from here. In particular, under conditions where rough dust collection is substantially performed by cleaning, subsequent cleaning under humidification requires only a relatively small amount of solution spraying against normal soil. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, approximately 1 liter of solution is sufficient for floor cleaning as large as 20 square meters. Accordingly, the tank 11 and the collection container 21 need not be provided at all, and the vacuum cleaner 1 having a compact configuration can be obtained.

掃除ブラシ６用の電動モータ、並びに、駆動用、及び回転する拭き取り布１８用等の掃除ローラ１５は、模式的にだけ図示されているバッテリー２２を用いて駆動され、これを用いて調節スリット１３内のバルブ１４の制御等の制御の電流供給が行われるのでもよい。   The electric motor for the cleaning brush 6 and the cleaning roller 15 for driving and for the rotating wiping cloth 18 are driven by using a battery 22 which is schematically shown, and using this, the adjusting slit 13 is driven. Control current supply such as control of the internal valve 14 may be performed.

さらに、上記の特許文献２から、掃除機１にベースステーション２３が組み合わされ、これに掃除機１がバッテリー２２の充電のために自動的に帰還することが、知られている。このベースステーション２３において、公知の態様で、集塵室９の排気が、別個の掃除機を用いて行われるのでもよい。   Furthermore, it is known from Patent Document 2 that the base station 23 is combined with the cleaner 1, and the cleaner 1 automatically returns to the battery 22 for charging. In this base station 23, the dust collection chamber 9 may be exhausted using a separate cleaner in a known manner.

図５に模式的に図示されているように、ベースステーション２３が掃除機１の自動清掃のための清掃ユニット３１を備え、自動清掃のために、ベースステーション２３の底の方に清掃溶液３０が満たされたタブ２４が設けられ、この上に、掃除ブラシ６、掃除ローラ１５、及び必要に応じて拭き取り布１８が、掃除機１の筐体周辺の支持体によって、掃除機１の走行ホイール４上に浮くようになっているのでもよい。タブ２４内に配置され、掃除ブラシ６又は掃除ローラ１５がこれに平行に伸び、それぞれが部分的に清掃溶液３０に部分的に浸る清掃ブラシ２５を用いて、底洗浄台として形成されたタブ２４内に配置された掃除ブラシ２５の清掃コンポーネントが駆動可能に配置され、この回転清掃ブラシ２５を用いて掃除ブラシ６及び掃除ローラ１５がそれ自身の完全な清掃のために回転されるのでもよい。また、回転する拭き取り布１８は、さらに清掃ブラシ２５を用いて、それ自身の完全な清掃のために回転駆動される。   As schematically shown in FIG. 5, the base station 23 includes a cleaning unit 31 for automatic cleaning of the cleaner 1, and the cleaning solution 30 is placed toward the bottom of the base station 23 for automatic cleaning. A filled tab 24 is provided, on which the cleaning brush 6, the cleaning roller 15, and if necessary a wiping cloth 18, are supported by a support around the housing of the cleaner 1, the running wheel 4 of the cleaner 1. It may be floating on the top. A tab 24 formed as a bottom wash basin with a cleaning brush 25 arranged in a tab 24, with the cleaning brush 6 or the cleaning roller 15 extending parallel to it and each partially immersed in the cleaning solution 30. The cleaning component of the cleaning brush 25 disposed therein can be driven and used with which the cleaning brush 6 and the cleaning roller 15 can be rotated for their own complete cleaning. The rotating wipe 18 is also driven to rotate by itself using a cleaning brush 25 for complete cleaning of itself.

これに関連して、清掃ブラシ２５が回転可能なだけで、アクティブに回転しない構成でもよい。ここで、掃除機１の対応するコンポーネントの清掃は、電動モータを停止し、掃除ブラシ６及び掃除ローラ１５を回転させ、又は拭き取り布１８の回転方向に回転させることによって行われ、そして、清掃ブラシ２５を用いたコーミングによって、これらのコンポーネントの清掃が行われる。   In this connection, the cleaning brush 25 may be rotatable but not actively rotated. Here, the cleaning of the corresponding components of the vacuum cleaner 1 is performed by stopping the electric motor, rotating the cleaning brush 6 and the cleaning roller 15 or rotating in the direction of rotation of the wiping cloth 18, and the cleaning brush These components are cleaned by combing with 25.

さらに、図示しないが、ベースステーション２３内で、装置側のタンク１１に清掃溶液を充填することが行われるように構成され、そのために、ベースステーション２３内に溶液供給コンテナが設けられ、さらにタンク１１の充填が、例えば、内部でタンク側のオートロックバルブが操作される等により、装置１のベースステーション２３への停留時に自動的に行われるのでもよい。   Further, although not shown, the apparatus is configured such that the tank 11 on the apparatus side is filled with the cleaning solution in the base station 23. For this purpose, a solution supply container is provided in the base station 23. The automatic charging may be performed automatically when the apparatus 1 is stopped at the base station 23, for example, by operating an auto-lock valve on the tank side.

さらに、収液コンテナ２１の排水がベースステーション２３内で行われ、ベースステーション２３が汚れた液の回収コンテナを備えるのでもよい。また、この排水は、装置１がベースステーション２３に停留することによって自動的に行われ、例えば、オートロックバルブが停留のときに開かれて、収液コンテナ２１内に溜まっている汚れた溶液がステーション側の回収コンテナに移されるのでもよい。   Further, the collection container 21 may be drained in the base station 23, and the base station 23 may be provided with a dirty liquid collection container. The drainage is automatically performed when the apparatus 1 is stopped at the base station 23. For example, when the auto-lock valve is stopped, a dirty solution accumulated in the liquid collection container 21 is opened. It may be moved to a collection container on the station side.

さらに、図６及び図７に図示するように、掃除機１が、手押し型又はハンドル操作型の装置の態様で構成されるのでもよい。それゆえ、掃除機１は、先端部側に操作グリップ２７が設けられ装置ロッド２８が嵌合する、取り付け部２６を備える。掃除ブラシ６、溶液散布ユニット１０、掃除ローラ１５、及び乾燥ユニット１７等の、個別の掃除コンポーネントは、上記の実施例の構成に対応する。個々のコンポーネントの駆動に用いられる電動モータは、このハンドル操作型の装置からバッテリーで駆動される。上記の掃除ロボットとの差異は、電動モータで駆動される走行ホイールが設けられていないことである。固い床上への装置の支持は、通常の支持ロール又は同様のものを用いて行われる。   Furthermore, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cleaner 1 may be configured in the form of a hand-held or handle-operated device. Therefore, the vacuum cleaner 1 is provided with the attachment part 26 in which the operation grip 27 is provided in the front-end | tip part side, and the apparatus rod 28 fits. Individual cleaning components such as the cleaning brush 6, the solution spraying unit 10, the cleaning roller 15, and the drying unit 17 correspond to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. An electric motor used for driving individual components is driven by a battery from the handle operation type device. The difference from the cleaning robot described above is that a traveling wheel driven by an electric motor is not provided. Support of the device on a hard floor is done using a normal support roll or the like.

このハンドル操作型の装置１を用いて、床面内及び垂直面内等の掃除及び／又は加湿が可能であり、壁タイル、又はシャワーパーティションの掃除についても同様である。   This handle-operated device 1 can be used to clean and / or humidify the floor surface and / or vertical surface, and the same applies to the cleaning of wall tiles or shower partitions.
