The present invention relates to an escalator step cleaning tool, and more specifically, to an escalator step cleaning tool that has a main cleaning part that cleans the groove of the escalator step and a sub-cleaning part that cleans the protruding surface of the escalator step.

In general, an escalator is a stair-shaped device that allows people or cargo to go up and down automatically, and is installed and operated in public places such as airports, subway stations, department stores, or large hospitals with a lot of traffic.

In these escalators, a plurality of interconnected escalator steps move circularly between a pair of handrails according to the operation of a driving device equipped with a motor, etc., so that a person stepping on any one of the steps of the escalator moves to the desired location. do.

Meanwhile, when an unspecified number of people, including numerous travelers who do not know where they are coming from, use the escalator, contaminants or foreign substances from people's shoes fall or become attached to the escalator steps, making the upper surface of the escalator steps dirty. You lose.

In order to maintain the cleanliness of escalator steps by removing foreign substances stuck on the escalator steps, conventionally, the foreign substances on the escalator steps were manually removed using cleaning tools such as brooms, mops, or cotton swabs and detergents made of chemicals. Cleaning was carried out by removing or using a portable vacuum cleaner equipped with a brush.

However, when cleaning escalator steps manually using conventional cleaning tools and detergents, not only does the work efficiency decrease due to the difficulty of the work, but the costs associated with the work increase due to the loss of a lot of time, manpower, and money. There was a problem.

In addition, when using a conventional mobile vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the escalator steps while the escalator is in operation, only foreign substances stuck to the brush can be removed, which reduces the efficiency of the cleaning work and requires rework. There was.

Additionally, the bounce of the running escalator steps caused the vacuum cleaner to deviate from its working position, creating an inconvenient problem in which the worker had to hold the vacuum cleaner's handle and fix the vacuum cleaner's working position throughout the working hours.

In order to overcome these problems, look at Korea Patent No. 10-1390583 (registered on April 23, 2014), 'Air recirculation type escalator step cleaning device with increased cleaning efficiency', which is attached to the rear and has an absorption motor inside. A fine dust filter is installed at the rear of the motor case, and a collection housing is installed on the rear and both sides of the collection housing to collect foreign substances sucked inside by the operation of the absorption motor with an internal collection net, and the air flowing in through the fine dust filter is installed on the rear and both sides of the collection housing. A main body containing a recirculating air line is connected to the main body, and is connected to the lower part with an exhaust port that sucks in foreign substances from the escalator steps through an exhaust hose and an outlet that discharges the recirculated air through an exhaust hose, so that foreign substances adhere to it. A brush case containing a brush, a suction hose that connects the suction port and the collection housing to allow foreign substances sucked in from the suction port to flow into the collection housing, and an exhaust hose that connects the discharge port and the air line to send recirculated air through the air line to the outlet. Provides a configuration that includes.

This prior art is safe and convenient because it does not require workers to press the upper surface of the step for a long time, but there is a problem in that it cannot remove accumulated contaminants and bacteria by simply suctioning like a vacuum cleaner.

Additionally, if the equipment breaks down, it cannot be used while repairing or replacing some parts, and the heavy weight causes inconvenience when moving.

As shown in Figure 1, the escalator step cleaning tool 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head part 100, a coupling part 200, a main washing part 300, and a sub washing part 400. do.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the escalator step cleaning tool 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head portion 100 coupled to one end of a length-adjustable handle, and at least two or more of the head portion. A detachable coupling part 200, a main washing part 300 that is detachable from the coupling part and is in further contact with the groove of the unevenness formed on one side of the step of the escalator, and a main washing part disposed on one side in the longitudinal direction of the main washing part and contacting one surface of the step. Includes a sub-washing unit 400.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the head part 100 is formed of a plate with a predetermined thickness, and is coupled to one end of a handle whose length is adjustable on the upper surface of the plate to adjust the length to the user's desired length. It can be adjusted and used.

In addition, it is preferable that the head portion 100 is made of plastic, polycarbonate, iron, or metal to reduce the risk of damage even when pressed with a handle.

Because of this, it is light in weight and can be carried and moved to clean the steps of multiple escalators.

In addition, the head portion 100 can be cleaned by forming a length corresponding to the length of both sides of the steps of the escalator, or by forming a short length and pressing it with more intensity.

In particular, the head portion 100 may further include a flange portion 110 that is bent at a right angle along one longitudinal side and supports one longitudinal side of the sub-washing unit 400.

For example, steps adjacent to a platform for riding an escalator are formed flatly at a predetermined distance. When cleaning by placing the head unit 100 on such a step, the sub-cleaning unit 400 may be pulled in the direction in which the step moves and become separated from the head unit 100. To prevent this, it is desirable to form a flange portion 110.

Additionally, the head portion 100 may further have a spiral coupling portion 120 formed on its upper surface.

That is, the spiral coupling portion 120 has a pair of spiral holes formed on the upper surface of the head portion 100, and a plate member is formed with a coupling hole communicating with the spiral hole at the bottom of the handle corresponding to the spiral holes. Then, the spiral hole and the coupling hole are arranged to communicate with each other, and then are spirally coupled to each other using a coupling member.

Meanwhile, in the drawings of this specification, the assembly where the handle is coupled to the upper surface of the head portion 100 is omitted. This is because the applicant of the present design can use a configuration that combines the handle with the configuration of the rotating part of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0494847 (registered on January 5, 2022), which was previously filed and registered.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, at least two coupling parts 200 are detachable from the head part 100, and serve to attach and detach the main washing part 300, which will be described later, from the lower surface of the head part 100. do.

To this end, the coupling portion 200 further includes a fastening hole 210, a band portion 220, and a fastening portion 230.

The fastening holes 210 are formed on both unidirectional sides of one surface of the head portion 100.

That is, the fastening hole 210 is formed as a hole penetrating both unidirectional ends of one side of the head portion 100 so that both ends of the band portion 220 can be respectively inserted to form one unit, and at least two such units are formed. It is formed.

The band portion 220 has a predetermined thickness and width, extends in the longitudinal direction, has Velcro formed on both sides, and is fastened to the fastening hole 210.

Here, the band portion 220 is manufactured without velcro in the remaining portions except for the portions that are in contact with each other, thereby saving manufacturing costs.

The fastening portion 230 is attached by contacting one surface of the band portion 220 after a ring is formed at one end of the band portion 220 and the other end of the band portion 220 is coupled to the ring.

That is, the fastening part 230 has both ends of the band part 220 inserted into the fastening holes 210, so that one surface is in close contact with one surface of the head part 100. And after the other end of the band portion 220 is coupled to the ring formed at one end, the other end is attached in contact with one surface of the one end and is firmly coupled to the head portion 100.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the coupling portion 200 of the escalator step cleaning tool 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a partition protrusion 240 and a fastening groove 250.

The dividing protrusion 240 is a protrusion that divides the lower surface of the head unit 100 by combining at least one protrusion with the lower surface of the head unit 100 .

In particular, the partition protrusion 240 serves to firmly position the main cleaning unit 300 on the head unit 100 in response to the stress applied to the main cleaning unit 300.

For example, since the main washing unit 300 is made of a sponge or a material that absorbs moisture, it may be pushed in one direction by the movement of the steps of an escalator or may be pushed further in one direction as moisture is gradually removed.

As a result, the shape of the main washing part 300 may be deformed or separated from the head part 100. To prevent this phenomenon, the partition protrusion 240 distributes the stress applied to the main washing part 300. It is desirable.

Additionally, the partition protrusion 240 may be coupled to the lower surface of the head portion 100 by a coupling member, but may also be formed as an integrated piece.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , the partition protrusion 240 is formed to have the same length as the unidirectional length of the main washing unit 300 and serves to support the other side of the sub-cleaning unit 400 in the longitudinal direction.

That is, since the moving direction of the upper and lower layers of the steps of the escalator is the same, when the cleaning tool 10 of the present invention is placed on each floor, stress acts on the head portion 100 in different directions.

Therefore, the flange portion 110 supports the sub-washing unit 400 at the upper level of the escalator, and the partition protrusion 240 supports the sub-washing unit 400 at the lower level.

The fastening groove 250 is formed as a groove coupled to the partition protrusion 240 on one surface of the main cleaning unit 300.

That is, it is forcefully fitted into the partition protrusion 240 and serves to firmly position the main washing unit 300 on the lower surface of the head unit 100 as described above.

Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the main washing part 300 is attached and detached from the coupling part and comes into further contact with the concave-convex groove formed on one surface of the step of the escalator.

This main washing unit 300 includes a brush pad 310, a brush velcro 320, and an uneven portion 330.

The brush pad 310 is disposed on the lower surface of the head unit 100 and is formed to have a predetermined thickness and a length that protrudes beyond both ends of the head unit 100.

This is to facilitate cleaning of the steps by preventing the head portion 100 from being adjacent to both sides where the steps of the escalator move.

The brush velcro 320 is formed so that the upper surface of the brush pad 310 can be attached and detached to the band portion 220.

The uneven portion 330 is formed on the lower surface of the brush pad 310 to correspond to the unevenness of the step.

Due to this, the uneven portion 330 enters the groove of the step of the escalator and cleans by removing dirt as the step moves.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 , the sub-cleaning unit 400 is disposed on one side of the main washing unit 300 in the longitudinal direction and contacts one surface of the step.

This sub-washing unit 400 further includes a sub-pad 410 and a sub-pad velcro 420.

The subpad 410 is formed to have a length corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the head part 100, and is formed to have a thickness smaller than that of the main washing part 300, forming a step and having one side flat.

Due to this, the uneven main cleaning unit 300 enters the groove of the step to remove dirt, and the subpad 410 cleans the flat surface of the protruding part of the step, making it possible to clean the steps of the escalator more thoroughly. .

The subpad velcro 420 is formed with velcro so that the upper surface of the subpad 410 can be attached and detached to the band portion 220.
