Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously perform cleaning of the floor face of a distribution center, a warehouse, or a factory together with transport of goods or materials so as to dispense with an exclusive cleaning vehicle by fitting mops to a fork lift running on the floor face so as to bring them in contact with the floor face. CONSTITUTION:Mops 3 are detachably fitted to an iron plate 2 horizontally and tensely provided between the leg frames 1 of a fork lift 10 by the use of supporting devices 4. Namely, the iron plate 2 is fitted into the receiving groove 36 of a fitting plate 31 of U-section, they are fixed by tightening fitting bolts 37, a U-shaped supporting piece 32 is fixed on the side face on anti-groove side of the fitting plate 31, and the mop 3 is detachably mounted on a supporting arm 33 provided on the supporting piece 32 through a swing shaft 34 capably of swinging. Hereby when goods or materials are transported by means of the fork lift, cleaning of the floor surface of a distribution center, a warehouse, or a factory is performed with the mops 3 simultaneously together with the transport.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrying / cleaning device in which a mop is attached to a forklift for carrying and cleaning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, environmental problems have been perceived as social problems and have attracted a great deal of attention, and it is required to improve the environment in distribution centers, warehouses and factories. Cleaning vehicles such as sweepers and scrubbers for cleaning are used to clean distribution centers. Even if this cleaning vehicle is introduced, there are many problems such as whether the cleaning work is carried out other than during the transportation work, at the same time, who drives, and how to manage the cleaning car. .

[0003]

As described above, the cleaning of the distribution center, the warehouse, the factory, etc. requires a dedicated cleaning vehicle, people, and time, and it has not been possible to perform sufficient cleaning.

[0004]

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides a forklift traveling on a floor by bringing a mop into contact with the floor so that cleaning work can be performed very easily and sufficiently. It is a transportation and cleaning device installed.

[0005]

[Operation] When the goods and materials are transported by the forklift, the mop attached to the forklift performs the transportation work and the floor cleaning work at the same time.

[0006]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying specific embodiments. FIG. 1 shows an outline of the entire transport and cleaning device of the present invention. An iron plate 2 is stretched horizontally between the leg frames 1 of the forklift 10, and a mop 3 is detachably provided on the iron plate 2 by using a support device 4.

The mop 3 used here is as shown in FIG. 2, in which a large number of chemically treated twisted yarns 12 are fixed to the lower surface of an elliptical base cloth 11, and both upper surfaces of the base cloth 11 are fixed. The bag cloth 13 is sewn around the entire circumference of the base cloth 11 except the portion near the center to form a bag-shaped bag portion 14 so as to receive a U-shaped wire which will be described later. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 1, the support device 4 has a support plate 22 slidably provided at the center of a support shaft 21, and coil springs 23 fitted on both sides of the support plate 22.
Guide plates 24, 28 are slidably provided on the support shaft 21 outside the coil spring 23, and the guide plate 24, 28 has a bag portion on the upper surface of the mop 3.
Both ends of elastic U-shaped wires 25 and 29 that are received by 14 are fixed. Further, an angle plate 26 is fitted on the outside of the guide plates 24 and 28, the head 27 of the support shaft 21 is engaged with the outside of one angle plate 26, and a nut 30 is screwed on the outside of the other angle plate 26. To do.

On the other hand, to attach the iron plate 2 to the iron plate 2,
Mounting plate having a U-shaped cross section having a receiving groove 36 for receiving
A U-shaped support piece 32 is fixed to the side surface on the side opposite to the groove 31 and a swing shaft 34 mounted on the support piece 32 is provided at the base end of the support arm 33.
Affix to the support plate 22 at the tip of the support arm 33.
35 is inserted and the mop 3 is swingably provided. To attach the support device 4 by fitting the U-shaped wires 25 and 29 into the bag portion 14 of the mop 3 and attach the mop 3 to the forklift 10, the iron plate 2 of the forklift 10 is inserted into the receiving groove 36 of the mounting plate 31 and the iron plate 2 is attached.
And then tighten the mounting bolts 37 to fix. Therefore, the attachment to the forklift 10 is extremely easy.

In this way, when the mop 3 is attached to the forklift 10 and the forklift 10 travels on the floor surface in the distribution center or the like to transport goods or materials, the floor surface can be cleaned at the same time as transportation. When the mop 3 gets dirty after a certain amount of running and it is replaced, replace the support arm 33
32, and bend the U-shaped wires 25 and 29 inward against the biasing force of the coil spring 23 as shown in FIG.
When it is narrower than 26, the U-shaped wires 25 and 29 are bent horizontally and can be detached from the bag portion 14 of the mop 3 for easy removal.

The present invention is included in the scope of the present invention as long as the mop is attached to the forklift truck so as to be in contact with the floor surface. The supporting device 4 is one example. It ’s just

Industrial Applicability As described above, the present invention is a transportation / cleaning device which is mounted on a forklift traveling on the floor so that the mop is in contact with the floor. The floor can be cleaned at the same time as the transportation of goods and materials, there is no need to introduce a special cleaning car, and the cleaning work is carried out only during the transportation work, or who drives the cleaning car. There is no need to manage the cleaning car.

Further, since the floor surface is cleaned at the same time as the transportation of goods and materials, a very clean floor surface can be maintained. Further, in the present invention, since the replacement of the mop is made detachable, the replacement of the mop can be performed by a one-touch, and the cleaning operation can be facilitated. Further, in the present invention, since it is sufficient to bring the mop into contact with the floor surface and attach it to the forklift, it is possible to provide the cleaning device at low cost.

Furthermore, the dust of the tires of the forklifts floats up in a closed factory, which is not preferable for the operator in terms of hygiene, and adheres to the products. It can be easily removed.
