JP-A-9-206265

  An object of the present invention is to provide a processing instrument capable of performing a desired process on a processing target surface so as to prevent, for example, wiping off of dust or the like on the processing target surface.

(1) The treatment instrument of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object is
A processing instrument in which a downward pressing force applied for processing acts on a processing target surface through a target surface pressing board portion,
On the lower surface of the target surface pressing board portion, a plurality of flexible fins standing downward and extending in a bowl shape are provided,
The downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing platen portion acts on the processing target surface via the fins, whereby the fins can be bent laterally with respect to the direction extending in a bowl shape. It is characterized by being.

  A plurality of fins made of an elastic material extending in a bowl shape are provided on the lower surface of the target surface pressing plate portion of the processing instrument, and the downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing plate portion acts on the processing target surface via the fins. . The downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing platen acts on the processing target surface via the fins, so that the fins can be bent laterally with respect to the direction extending in a bowl shape. It can be restored by releasing the pressure.

  Since each ridge line part (or each ridge line part and side face) of a large number of fins acts directly or via a cleaning sheet or other sheet body on the surface to be processed, the action on the surface to be processed is not planar. Thus, a linear action by a large number of fins is realized, and the processing effect on the processing target surface can be enhanced.

  In addition, when a relatively strong downward pressing force is applied to a specific portion of the target surface pressing plate portion, a relatively strong downward pressing force acts on the fin of the specific portion, and the fin is pressed against the target surface and bent. .

  For example, when a relatively strong downward pressing force is applied to any one side of the target surface pressing platen portion, a relatively strong downward pressing force acts on the fin on the one side to press the fin against the target surface. Bend. For this reason, the target surface pressing disc portion is slightly inclined downward to the one side and slightly upwardly inclined to the other side, so that the fin on the other side is in a state of floating with respect to the target surface. Or it is likely to come in weak contact. In particular, this is likely to occur when the ridge line of each fin is formed so as to be in contact with a planar virtual surface set below the lower surface along the lower surface of the target surface pressing board portion.

  Therefore, by appropriately adjusting the magnitude and position of the downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing board, it is possible to perform a desired process on the target surface via the fins.

  For example, in a state where the bottom portion of the target surface pressing disk portion is covered with the cleaning sheet body, a downward pressing force is applied relatively strongly to the target surface pressing disk portion on the rear side in the processing direction, and the lower pressing force is substantially applied to the front side in the processing direction. Taking the dust on the front target surface into the lower side of the cleaning sheet body by advancing the processing instrument in a state where the fin is floating on the target surface without being acted on, or in a state where it floats or touches weakly, A state in which a sufficient downward pressing force is applied to the target surface pressing disc portion in the front of the processing direction and the downward pressing force is not substantially applied in the rear of the processing direction, so that the fin is floated on the target surface or is in a floating or weakly contacting state. By retracting the processing tool, the dust taken into the lower side of the cleaning sheet can be wiped off by the cleaning sheet.

  (2) The processing tool of the present invention is formed such that the ridge line of each fin is in contact with a virtual surface set below the lower surface along the lower surface of the target surface pressing platen. it can.

  In this case, the fins are formed such that their ridgelines are in contact with a virtual surface set below the lower surface along the lower surface of the target surface pressing board portion.

  Therefore, the linear processing effect by many ridgelines of many fins with respect to a process target surface can be improved.

  Further, when a relatively strong downward pressing force is applied to a specific portion of the target surface pressing plate portion, a relatively strong downward pressing force acts on a relatively wide range of fins centered on the specific portion, and the target surface On the other hand, the fins are easily pressed and bent. For example, when a relatively strong downward pressing force is applied to one side of the target surface pressing platen portion, a relatively strong downward pressing force acts on a relatively wide range of fins on the one side, and this is applied to the target surface. The fins are likely to be pressed and bent, and on the other side, a wide range of fins is likely to float with respect to the target surface, or float or feel weakly.

  (2-1) The virtual surface may be a curved surface that protrudes downward toward an intermediate portion in the main processing direction.

  In this case, the fins are formed such that their ridgelines are in contact with a curved virtual surface that protrudes downward toward an intermediate portion in the processing direction of the target surface pressing board. Therefore, when a downward pressing force acts on the target surface pressing platen and the fins are pressed and bent against the target surface, the fins over a wide range come into contact with the target surface, while When the downward pressing force is not sufficiently applied, the fin in contact with the target surface is not sufficiently bent, so the range of the fin in contact with the target surface is narrowed, and the range in which the fin is floating from the target surface is widened.

  Therefore, by appropriately adjusting the magnitude and position of the downward pressing force that acts on the target surface pressing platen, it is possible to appropriately perform a desired process on the target surface via the fins.

  (2-2) The virtual surface may have a constant height in a direction orthogonal to the main processing direction.

  In this case, since the virtual surface has a constant height in the direction orthogonal to the main processing direction, it is possible to perform the processing on the processing target surface equally in the direction orthogonal to the main processing direction.

  (3) In the treatment instrument of the present invention, the fin may have a wave shape in which the traveling direction is along the main processing direction and the amplitude is a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction.

  Each fin in this case has a wave shape in which the waveform traveling direction is along the main processing direction and the waveform amplitude is perpendicular to the traveling direction, so that the waveform formed by each fin is periodically repeated.

  Therefore, when the processing tool is moved in the main processing direction so that the lower surface side of the target surface pressing disk portion is positioned on the processing target surface, the lower surface of the target surface pressing disk portion with respect to the processing target surface that may occur during the processing operation. Even if the position at which the fins act on the processing target surface in the main processing direction changes in accordance with the change in the inclination, each fin acts on the processing target surface in substantially the same manner.

  (3-1) In the direction orthogonal to the main processing direction, the fins are arranged in parallel in the direction orthogonal to the main processing direction, and in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction between the apexes of the crests of the corrugated fins adjacent to each other in parallel. The interval may be equal to or less than a quarter of the amplitude, or the positions of the facing ridges in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction may overlap.

  On the lower surface of the target surface pressing board portion, a fin made of a bowl-shaped elastic material having a wave shape having an amplitude in a direction orthogonal to the main processing direction while the traveling direction of the waveform is along the main processing direction is arranged in the processing direction. The interval in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction between the apexes of the opposing ridges of the wave-shaped fins adjacent to each other in parallel in a direction orthogonal to each other is equal to or less than a quarter of the amplitude. It has so that the position in the direction orthogonal to the said process direction of the peak part which opposes may overlap.

  Accordingly, at almost any position in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction in the range in which many fin-shaped fins are arranged in parallel, any fin in the processing direction swings in a wave shape, and any fin in the processing direction Even if there is a part where the fin does not exist in the position, such a part is not more than a quarter of the amplitude of the fin in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction. When the processing tool is moved in the processing direction so as to be positioned on the target surface, any fin can act on almost the entire target surface to which the processing tool has moved. For example, in a state where the bottom of the target surface pressing board is covered with a cleaning sheet body, dust on the target surface is corrugated by the cleaning sheet body pressed against the target surface by the adjacent corrugated fins. It is easy to be captured at any of the positions.

  (4) The processing instrument of the present invention may include a holding unit for holding the target surface processing sheet so as to cover the lower side of the target surface pressing platen.

  According to the processing instrument of the present invention, it is possible to perform desired processing on the target surface via the fins by appropriately adjusting the magnitude and position of the downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing platen.

  (1) Each drawing relates to a floor cleaning tool as an example of an embodiment of a processing tool of the present invention.

  This floor cleaning tool has a rectangular head portion H having a target surface pressing disc portion P made of an elastomer as a material having elasticity below an upper disc portion U made of hard synthetic resin. The handle S is coupled to the central portion of the upper board portion U so as to be rotatable in an arbitrary direction. On the lower surface of the target surface pressing platen portion P, there are a large number of flexible fins F standing downward and extending in a bowl shape, and the target surface pressing platen portion P and the fins F are integrated.

  Below the upper board portion U, there is a lattice-like rigid structure portion G made of a hard synthetic resin in which a large number of lattice holes Gl in the vertical direction are adjacent to each other. It is integrated with the board part U. At the four corners of the upper board portion U and the lattice-like rigid structure portion G that form an integral shape, there are holding portion opening portions Q that are upper openings to which the holding portions M are fitted and held.

  A large number of lattice holes Gl in the lattice-like rigid structure portion G are each constituted by a plate-like wall body Gw made of a hard material, and the horizontal sectional shape of the lattice holes Gl is a square, and all the lattice holes Gl are formed. Have the same cross-sectional shape.

  On the upper side of the target surface pressing platen P, there is an elastic lattice structure E made of an elastomer made up of a large number of lattice holes El adjacent in the vertical direction. It has an overhang portion Pa made of an elastomer that protrudes in the direction. The lattice-like elastic structure portion E forms a cushion body C integrally with the lower target surface pressing disc portion P and the outer peripheral side overhanging portion Pa.

  The lower end position of the overhanging portion Pa is located above the vertical position of the bottom surface portion of the target surface pressing plate portion P with a gap therebetween, and the outer edge portion of the bottom surface portion of the target surface pressing plate portion P and the overhanging portion Pa. The inner recess Pb of the lower opening and the outer recess Pc in which the lower opening is positioned above the inner recess are formed in a portion between the inner recess and the outer recess.

  A large number of lattice holes El in the lattice-like elastic structure E are constituted by plate-like walls Ew made of an elastic material. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the lattice hole El is a square, and all the lattice holes El have the same cross-sectional shape. The lattice-like elastic structure E has substantially the entire horizontal area between the upper board U and the target surface pressing board P.

  By applying a downward pressing force to the upper board portion U, a downward pressing force is applied to substantially the entire lattice-like elastic structure portion E via the lattice-like rigid structure portion G. The bottom surface portion of the lower portion of the entire range of the lattice-like elastic structure portion E is substantially the entire bottom surface portion of the entire target surface pressing disk portion P.

  The lower portion of the lattice-like rigid structure portion G and the upper portion of the lattice-like elastic structure portion E are in a state in which the respective wall bodies Gw and the wall bodies Ew intersect with each other due to the displacement of the respective lattice holes Gl and lattice holes El. Touch.

  A downward pressing force against the upper board portion U can be applied via the handle S. The downward pressing force applied to the upper board portion U acts on the floor surface to be cleaned via the target surface pressing board portion P via the lattice-like rigid structure portion G and the lattice-like elastic structure portion E.

  On the upper side of the upper board part U, a holding part M for holding the nonwoven fabric sheet N for wiping and cleaning is provided so as to cover the lower side of the target surface pressing board part P. The holding part M is held by opposing tongue piece parts Ma formed by cuts provided in a plate-like part made of an elastic material such as synthetic rubber.

  The lower surface of the target surface pressing board P is planar, and the direction along the short direction (the direction parallel to the rectangular short side in plan view), which is the main processing direction, is the direction orthogonal to the direction. A plurality of continuous fin-shaped flexible fins F having a wave shape approximate to a sine wave having an amplitude of 2 are arranged in parallel in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction and their parallel adjacent waves. The interval between the apexes of the crests of the shape fin F facing each other in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction is substantially zero. Each of the fins F comes into contact with a curved virtual surface whose ridge line (the lower end edge of the fin F in FIG. 5) protrudes downward toward the center in the processing direction of the target surface pressing platen P. Is formed. The cross-sectional shape of the fin F is a thin plate that gradually becomes thinner toward the ridgeline.

  (2) When the nonwoven fabric sheet N for wiping and cleaning is held by the holding portion M on the upper side of the upper board portion U in a state of covering the lower side of the target surface pressing board portion P, the nonwoven fabric sheet N is The lower opening of the inner recess Pb and the lower opening of the outer recess Pc are covered. By operating the floor cleaning tool while applying a downward pressing force to the upper board portion U via the handle S in this state, the floor surface can be wiped with the nonwoven fabric sheet N.

  The downward pressing force applied to the upper board portion U is caused by the large number of lattice-like elastic structure portions E intersecting with each of the wall bodies Gw through the wall bodies Gw of the many lattice holes Gl of the lattice-like rigid structure portion G. To the wall body Ew of the lattice hole El.

  Therefore, it is prevented that the downward pressing force applied to the lattice-like elastic structure portion E via the lattice-like rigid structure portion G is biased.

  Furthermore, the downward pressing force acting on the target surface pressing disk portion P via the lattice-like elastic structure portion E is that the lattice-like elastic structure portion E is made of an elastic material and a large number of vertical lattice holes El are adjacent to each other. Therefore, it is difficult to cause a horizontal deviation. Therefore, since it is prevented that the downward pressing force applied to the lower target surface pressing disk portion P on the lower side of the lattice-like elastic structure E is biased, the nonwoven fabric sheet N covering the lower side of the target surface pressing disk portion P is used. The floor surface can be wiped clean.

  In addition, since any fin F exists in the processing direction at virtually any position in the direction orthogonal to the processing direction on the lower surface of the target surface pressing platen P, the lower side of the target surface pressing platen P When the floor cleaning tool covered with the nonwoven fabric sheet N is moved in the processing direction, any one of the fins F can act on almost the entire floor surface to which the floor cleaning tool has moved. Therefore, the dust on the floor surface is easily captured at any position of the corrugated fins F by the nonwoven fabric sheet N pressed on the floor surface by the corrugated fins F adjacent in parallel.

  The fins F are formed so that their ridgelines are in contact with a curved virtual surface that protrudes downward toward the intermediate portion in the processing direction of the target surface pressing platen P. Therefore, a downward pressing force acts on the target surface pressing platen P, the fins F are pressed against the floor surface with the nonwoven fabric sheet N interposed therebetween, and bent sideways, so that the fins F over a wide range are applied to the floor surface. On the other hand, when the downward pressing force against the target surface pressing disc portion P is not sufficiently acting, the fin F does not bend sufficiently, so the range of the fin F that contacts the floor surface with the nonwoven fabric sheet N interposed therebetween becomes narrow. , The range in which the fin F is floating from the floor surface is widened.

  Therefore, a desired cleaning process can be performed on the floor surface via the fins F by appropriately adjusting the magnitude and position of the downward pressing force applied to the target surface pressing platen P. For example, by moving the floor cleaning tool forward with the wide range of fins F floating on the floor without substantially applying a downward pressing force to the target surface pressing board P in the front in the processing direction, The dust on the surface is taken into the lower side of the nonwoven fabric sheet N, and then the floor cleaning tool is moved backward while applying a sufficient downward pressing force to the target surface pressing disk portion P in the front of the processing direction, whereby the nonwoven fabric sheet N The dust taken into the lower side can be wiped off by the nonwoven fabric sheet N.

  It should be noted that the relatively fine dust is located at the lower end position of the overhanging portion Pa located above the vertical position of the bottom surface portion of the target surface pressing plate portion P with the movement of the head portion H on the floor surface. Can be wiped off by a nonwoven fabric sheet N that passes between the floor and the floor surface and covers the bottom surface portion of the target surface pressing board portion P.

  On the other hand, the relatively large dust passes between the lower end position of the overhanging portion Pa and the floor surface as the head portion H moves on the floor surface, or the overhanging portion Pa is deformed upward by the dust. However, the nonwoven fabric sheet N can be captured by a portion covering the lower opening of the inner recess Pb or the lower opening of the outer recess Pc. It is effective that such dust is left behind when the bottom surface portion of the target surface pressing board part P gets over, flipped forward, or moved away when the wiping material holder is moved backward. This prevents the cleaning effect. The overhanging portion can exhibit a buffering effect between the head portion H and the furniture, wall surface, and the like.

The direction is parallel to the sides. When there are a plurality of main processing directions, only one of them may be handled as the main processing direction.

  (3-5) The lower surface of the target surface pressing board is provided with a large number of flexible fins extending in a bowl shape. The fin can be bent laterally with respect to the direction extending in a bowl shape, and the bending of the fin can be restored by releasing the downward pressing force.

  As the material of the fin, for example, an elastic material containing various elastomers such as synthetic rubber and synthetic resin elastomer can be used.

  For example, the lower surface and the virtual surface of the target surface pressing board can be parallel, but this is not a limitation. For example, the lower surface of the target surface pressing disk part is formed on a surface (or other surface) that protrudes downward toward the middle part in the processing direction, and the height of each fin is constant (the target surface pressing disk part The lower surface and the virtual surface are parallel), or the height of each fin is changed with the lower surface of the target surface pressing platen as a horizontal surface (or other surface) (the lower surface and the virtual surface of the target surface pressing platen are not parallel) Shape).
