Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a gap cleaning device that electrically wipes dust and the like accumulated in a narrow gap.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, containers made of glass or plastic, which are filled with products such as cosmetics, detergents, and chemicals, which are displayed in stores, are displayed throughout the day in a harsh traffic environment. These containers usually have a relatively complicated shape, and the containers are closely attached to each other and displayed in a forest, and dust accumulated in the containers is wiped off individually with a hater or the like.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For this reason, most of the maintenance staff or store staff at the store are busy working on dusting with fireflies. In particular, if the type of dust is so-called cotton dust, it is easy to wipe it off, but if dust is mixed in, it will stick to the deposited part and will not be easily removed even with a light brushing. Therefore, it was necessary to take out the products individually from the display shelves, carefully apply the hat, or wipe them with a cloth.

[0004] In addition, originally, the main work of a store clerk or other person in charge of managing a store or a sales floor is to guide and sell products to customers, and auxiliary work such as dusting products with a flycatcher or the like. There is also the risk that the customer's willingness to purchase will be further diminished, and the opportunity to sell products will be lost. In addition, in mass retailers such as supermarkets, the quantity and variety of products displayed are large, and it takes a lot of time to remove dust, which is a cause of increasing sales costs. In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional technology, the present invention has a chuck that grips the base shaft, starts a motor with a trigger, and collects dust with a hair-shaped or ribbon-shaped member that is pulled in the outer peripheral direction by centrifugal force. An object of the present invention is to provide a gap cleaning device for wiping the surface.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a gap cleaning device for wiping dust accumulated in a narrow gap, and the like, and a drive unit including a chuck that is rotationally driven by an electric motor and a trigger that operates start and stop of the electric motor. A wiping unit having a tip portion formed by implanting a strip-shaped or ribbon-shaped member and a rod-shaped base shaft portion continuous to the tip portion, the chuck is made to grip the base shaft portion, and the electric motor is started by a trigger. A gap cleaning device that wipes dust-laden surfaces with a hair-shaped or ribbon-shaped member that is pulled in the outer peripheral direction by centrifugal force.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since the dust accumulated in the narrow gap can be instantly wiped off, the dust accumulated in the bottles and other containers displayed in a narrow space in a forested state can be removed from the shelf while being displayed. It can be wiped without taking it out individually, and work efficiency is significantly improved. Further, according to the present invention, since the wiping unit is detachable from the drive unit, it can be easily dealt with when the wiping unit is replaced due to wear or damage, and the type and accumulation of dust can be changed. The wiping unit can be arbitrarily selected according to the degree.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to an illustrated embodiment. In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a usage state of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a wiping portion shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, a chuck 2a of a drive unit 2 of a gap cleaning device 1 is chucked with a base shaft portion 3b of a wiping unit 3 having a tip portion 3a in which a hair-like or ribbon-like material is implanted, and a trigger 2b. It is shown that the base shaft portion 3b is rotated clockwise as indicated by arrow A by pressing.

The material forming the hair or ribbon is made of chemical fiber or other material having a very small mass. Further, the wiping unit 3 serves as a core member, for example, an iron wire is doubled and twisted, and a hair-shaped or ribbon-shaped material is sandwiched in a twisted gap at one end of the iron wire to form a tip 3a The base shaft portion 3b may be formed by fitting a plastic cylindrical material to the end.

The drive unit 2 has a built-in electric motor (not shown), and its rotor is connected to the chuck 2a via a drive shaft. The electric motor is configured such that the rotation direction of the chuck 2a can be switched to any forward or reverse direction according to the shape of the dust wiping portion by operating a changeover switch (not shown). There is. The electric motor may be driven by a household power source, or may be a cordless type with a charging power source incorporated therein. Further, the electric motor may be one in which the number of rotations of the trigger 2a provided in the drive unit 2 can be adjusted according to the degree of pressing.

In the gap cleaning device 1 as described above, first, the chuck 2 a of the drive unit 2 is caused to grip the base shaft portion 3 b of the wiping unit 3. Next, the drive unit 2 is gripped by, for example, the right hand, the trigger 2b is pressed, and the chuck 2a is rotated. Since the wiping unit 3 rotates integrally with the chuck 2a, the tip of the tip portion 3a of the hair-like portion or the ribbon-like portion is pulled outward due to centrifugal force, and as shown in FIG. The portion 3a has a cylindrical shape.

The cylindrical tip portion 3a is apparently solid, but in reality, as described above, the material of the hair-like body or the ribbon-like body is formed of a material having an extremely small mass, and therefore it is in contact with the material. However, there is not enough force to move or tip a solid object such as a detergent container. The tip portion 3a apparently forms a thick cylindrical shape as described above during rotational driving, but since the solid thickness as an entity is almost the thickness of the core material, there is no gap between the products. If the core material is thicker than the core material, the core material can be inserted into the gap to wipe off dust.

Therefore, in a store, when a large number of plastic containers on the display shelf are standing in a forest and the dust accumulated on the containers is wiped off, the wiping unit 3 is rotated to keep the tip 3 a in a forested state. If the tip portion 3a is lightly pressed against the surface, the dust can be wiped off instantly. The hair-like or ribbon-like material forming the tip portion 3a is made of a hair-like extremely thin and lightweight material, or a cloth-like material impregnated with a chemical is formed into a ribbon-like material. For example, the rod-shaped wiping portion 3 may be formed in a slender shape to be embedded in the tip portion of the rod-shaped wiping portion 3 to form the tip portion 3a. That is, the wiping unit 3a having the characteristics and mass according to each condition such as the type of dust and the wiping interval may be provided and used properly according to the target.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in a large number of displayed plastic containers, for example, it is possible to gently wipe dust in every corner of the plastic container as it is displayed, that is, without removing the plastic containers individually. it can. Therefore, since it is not necessary to take out the container (plastic container) from the shelf, it is possible to prevent accidents such as removing the container and leaking the contents in advance, and to improve efficiency, such as no omission in customer service. is there. Further, according to the present invention, when the shape, material, and other conditions of the object to be wiped change, or the tip of the wiping portion is worn out, the wiping portion can be replaced to handle various situations. You can flexibly deal with the case of.
