Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a surface cleaning method for tile panels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a wall body of a unit bathroom, a wall body of a toilet, etc., a tile panel formed by adhering tiles in a predetermined arrangement on a base board is widely used.

This tile panel has been conventionally manufactured as follows. That is, tiles are arranged on the base board so as to form a predetermined joint gap, then they are fixed to the base board with an adhesive, and then a tile panel is formed by filling the joint gap with a joint material such as mortar. It was manufactured.

Here, the filling of the joint material into the joint gap is performed by applying the joint material on the entire surface of the tile panel. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to clean the surface of the tile panel to remove excess joint material remaining on the surface of the tile panel (attached to the surface of the panel) after the clogging work.

Conventionally, this surface cleaning operation is performed as shown in FIG.
The method as shown in FIG. That is, a roll 102 having an outer peripheral portion made of a sponge body 100 is first immersed in a water tank 106 placed at one end side of a tile panel 104 so that the sponge body 100 contains cleaning water, and then the roll 102 is rotated to rotate the tile panel. 104 relative movement from one end to the other along the surface, and the tile panel 104
A separate water tank 1 placed on the other end when it reaches the other end
The surface of the tile panel 104 is cleaned by repeating the operation of immersing the roll 102 in 06 and then placing the roll 102 on the tile panel 104 again and moving the roll 102 in the direction opposite to the previous one. It was

As described above, the water tanks 106 are installed on both ends of the tile panel 104, and each time the roll 102 reaches the end of the panel 104, the water tank 106 is immersed in the water tank 106. Roll 10
This is because the wash water impregnated in 2 is scattered by the centrifugal force and is lost from the roll 102, so that it is necessary to immerse the roll 102 in the water tank 106 once to replenish the wash water. .

[0007]

However, when the surface of the tile panel 104 is cleaned by such a method, the roll 102 is moved forward or backward from one end of the tile panel 104 to the other end, or from the other end to one end. Roll for each 102
It is necessary to immerse the water in the water tank 106, which makes the work complicated and troublesome. Further, in the case of this method, there is a problem in that the joint finishing step must be performed as a separate step.

A tile panel 104 is formed by the roll 102.
When the joint material adhering to the surface is wiped off, if the roll 102 can be strongly pressed against the surface of the tile panel 104 while rotating at a high speed, it is possible to clean the surface of the tile panel 104 and finish the joint portion at the same time. When the roll 102 is rotated at a high speed, the washing water contained in the roll 102 is quickly lost (dried) by a strong centrifugal force.

Therefore, the roll 102 can be rotated only at a low speed. In this case, if the roll 102 is pressed against the surface of the tile panel 104 with a strong force, the rotation of the roll 102 is stopped, so that the tile panel 1 can be rotated only with a weak force.
04 cannot be pressed against the surface, and in this case, the surface of the joint material filled in the joint gap between the tiles can be smoothed.
As shown in (B), the surface of the joint material of the joint cannot be formed as a clean finished surface 109.

Therefore, in the prior art, a rubber joint retainer 108 having a circular cross section is pressed again against the joint portion to scrape the surface of the joint material, so that the cross sectional curved shape as shown in FIG. A joint finishing process for forming the finished surface 109 is required.

However, if the tile surface cleaning step and the joint portion finishing step are performed as separate steps in this manner, the number of steps for producing the tile panel 104 increases, which causes a decrease in productivity and an increase in cost. Become.

[0012]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its gist is a method of cleaning a surface of a tile panel, which is at least a contact portion to the surface of the tile panel. While supplying the cleaning water to the center of the roll made of a sponge body, the roll is rotated along the tile panel surface while allowing the cleaning water supplied by the centrifugal force at that time to penetrate into the roll surface. The tile panel surface is cleaned by moving the tile panel relative to each other.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the roll is rotated while continuously supplying the washing water to the center of the roll,
The cleaning water permeates the surface of the roll by the centrifugal force based on the rotation to clean the tile panel surface. According to the present invention, the roll is moved once as in the method shown in FIG. 4 (A). It is not necessary to immerse the tile panel in the water tank after every movement or reciprocation, and it is possible to continuously move the tile panel surface while cleaning it.

According to the method of the present invention, the surface cleaning work of the tile panel is simplified, the work efficiency is improved, and
The advantage is that the joints can be finished at the same time.

In the method of the present invention, since the cleaning water is continuously supplied to the roll, even if the cleaning water is spattered by the centrifugal force, the cleaning water soaked into the surface of the roll may be washed away. Therefore, it is possible to rotate the roll at high speed and press it against the tile panel surface with a strong force.
It is possible to finish the joint part at the same time.
