CONSTITUTION:A cleaning roller 2 consists of a roller body 2A and a water absorbing body 2B which is installed onto the outer peripheral part of the roller body 2A. The water absorbing body 2B is formed into cylindrical form from the foamed urethane, etc. A cleaning liquid feeding means A is equipped with a cleaning liquid tank 5 into which cleaning liquid is stored, pipe 6 for guiding the cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning liquid tank 5 onto an auxiliary brush 4, and an opening/closing valve 7 which feeds and cuts off the feed of the cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid is supplied onto a cleaning objective surface through the auxiliary brush 4. With such constitution, the cleaning liquid feeding means A supplies the cleaning liquid onto the cleaning objective surface, and the cleaning liquid is absorbed, and the wiping cleaning is carried out, as the cleaning roller 2 passes through the part onto which the cleaning liquid is supplied.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a wiping tool with a water supply.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when cleaning building floors such as building passageways,
Cleaning by wiping with a mop or the like and vacuum cleaning with a vacuum cleaner are performed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Suction cleaning is insufficient for cleaning the floors of buildings, and wiping is preferred. However, wiping with a mop requires a lot of effort and has the disadvantage that cleaning cannot be done efficiently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a wiping tool with a water supply that allows efficient wiping and cleaning despite its simple structure.

[Failure to solve the problem]

In the wiping tool with a water supply according to the present invention, a cleaning roller having water absorbency on its outer periphery is provided so as to be rotated while the outer periphery is in contact with a running surface, and the cleaning roller has a water absorbing property on its outer periphery, and the cleaning roller is rotated while the outer periphery is in contact with a running surface, and the cleaning roller is provided on a side in front of the running surface with respect to a ground contact point of the roller. The present invention is characterized in that a cleaning liquid supply means is provided for supplying cleaning liquid to the location.

In that case, it is preferable to do the following.

That is, it is preferable to provide a water squeezing roller that comes into contact with and presses the outer peripheral portion of the cleaning roller, and a recovery means that recovers the water squeezed out by the roller.

Further, it is preferable that a resistance applying means for applying resistance to the rotation of the cleaning roller is provided so that the resistance force can be freely adjusted.

[For production]

The effects of the above characteristic configuration are as follows.

In other words, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the area in front of the cleaning roller, and as the cleaning roller passes through the area to which the cleaning liquid was supplied, the cleaning liquid is absorbed by the cleaning roller and is wiped. It will be cleaned. Incidentally, the cleaning roller rotates and moves while slipping, and as a result, the cleaning roller exerts a wiping action.

By the way, the cleaning roller absorbs a large amount of liquid as it is used, and it is necessary to remove water from the cleaning roller at an appropriate time. Therefore, if a roller for squeezing out water that comes into contact with and presses the outer circumferential portion of the cleaning roller and a recovery means for recovering the water squeezed out by the roller are provided, the cleaning operation can be continued while the cleaning operation is being continued. water can be removed from the rollers.

Further, since the slip rate of the cleaning roller changes depending on the properties of the surface to be cleaned, there is a possibility that there will be too much or too little slip. Therefore, if the resistance applying means for applying resistance to the rotation of the cleaning roller is provided so that the resistance force can be freely adjusted, an appropriate amount of slipping can be performed regardless of the properties of the surface to be cleaned. can do.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a wiping tool with water supply that can perform wiping cleaning efficiently with a simple configuration combining a cleaning roller and a cleaning liquid supply means has been obtained.

According to the second aspect, the cleaning work can be continued without interrupting the work to remove water from the cleaning roller, which is more effective in improving work efficiency.

According to claim 3, the cleaning roller is made to generate an appropriate amount of slip regardless of the properties of the surface to be cleaned,
Various locations can also be cleaned well.

Note that (a) in the figure is an auxiliary idler wheel.

The cleaning roller (2) includes a roller body (2A) and a water absorbent body (2) attached to the outer periphery of the roller body (2A).
B). The water absorbent body 2B) is formed into a cylindrical shape from urethane foam or the like.

The cleaning liquid supply means (A) includes a cleaning liquid tank (5) that stores a cleaning liquid, and a pipe (6) that guides the cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning liquid tank (5) to the auxiliary brush (4).
) and an on-off valve (7) that cuts off and on the supply of cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid is then supplied to the surface to be cleaned via the auxiliary brush (4).

Incidentally, as the cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquid mixed with a detergent is generally used, but a variety of other cleaning liquids can be used, such as plain water. Further, the auxiliary brush (4) functions as a cleaning liquid guide and also has the function of sweeping the surface to be cleaned.

The water squeezing roller (3) is attached to the vehicle body frame (F
