Description

TITRE : Dispositif de nettoyage du sol.TITLE: Floor cleaning device.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage du sol, à sec ou mouillé, du type constitué par un manche de manoeuvre en liaison avec un châssis comprenant d'une part, deux rouleaux rotatifs antérieur et postérieur entre lesquels est tendue une bande de nettoyage mise en contact sur le sol par basculement du châssis, et d'autre part des moyens d'entraînement de la bande.The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the floor, dry or wet, of the type constituted by an operating handle in connection with a frame comprising on the one hand, two front and rear rotary rollers between which is stretched a cleaning tape placed in contact with the ground by tilting of the chassis, and on the other hand of the belt drive means.
La difficulté généralement rencontrée dans la conception de ces dispositifs réside dans le fait même du basculement à effectuer pour mettre en contact avec le sol l'un ou l'autre des rouleaux entourés de la bande, selon les endroits à atteindre du sol, de manière à nettoyer celui-ci plutôt avec le rouleau antérieur ou au contraire avec le rouleau postérieur.The difficulty generally encountered in the design of these devices lies in the very fact of the tilting to be carried out in order to bring one or the other of the rollers surrounded by the strip into contact with the ground, depending on the locations to be reached from the ground, so to clean it rather with the front roller or on the contrary with the rear roller.
Ceci est obtenu de manière connue par l'intermédiaire d'une béquille télescopique disposée à l'arrière du châssis pouvant être sortie selon une longueur prédéterminée par une action du manche vers le haut avec lequel est reliée ladite béquille ou au contraire celle-ci pourra être rentrée par une action par le même manche mais cette fois vers le bas.This is obtained in a known manner by means of a telescopic stand arranged at the rear of the frame which can be taken out by a predetermined length by an action of the handle upwards with which said stand is connected or on the contrary it may to be taken in by an action by the same stick but this time down.
Il s'en suit un certain manque de confort dans l'actionnement du dispositif de nettoyage selon qu'il est en appui sur le rouleau antérieur ou postérieur, car dans le premier cas, le manche tendra vers une position verticale, tandis que dans le second, il devra tendre vers une position horizontale particulièrement incommode pour l'utilisateur.It follows a certain lack of comfort in the actuation of the cleaning device depending on whether it is supported on the front or rear roller, because in the first case, the handle will tend towards a vertical position, while in the second, it should tend towards a horizontal position which is particularly inconvenient for the user.
De plus, l'agencement des moyens de commande devant être interposé entre l'extrémité du manche et la béquille sont relativement complexes et par conséquent onéreux.In addition, the arrangement of the control means to be interposed between the end of the handle and the stand are relatively complex and therefore expensive.
Il est également utile de prévoir dans ce type de dispositif de nettoyage l'apport d'un agent nettoyant liquide servant à humecter la bande. C'est ainsi qu'il est connu d'intégrer dans le châssis un système de distribution de l'agent nettoyant liquide, commandé de manière distincte des moyens d'entraînement en rotation de la même bande, ce qui implique de la part de l'utilisateur, une double manipulation. Cet inconvénient s'ajoute au fait que la conception du dispositif n'en est que plus complexe.It is also useful to provide in this type of cleaning device the supply of a liquid cleaning agent used to moisten the strip. It is thus known to integrate into the chassis a system for distributing the liquid cleaning agent, controlled separately from the means for driving the same band in rotation, which implies on the part of the user, double manipulation. This drawback is added to the fact that the design of the device is only more complex.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne à cet effet un dispositif de nettoyage du sol, à sec ou mouillé, du type constitué par un manche de manoeuvre en liaison avec un châssis comprenant, d'une part, deux rouleaux rotatifs antérieur et postérieur entre lesquels est tendue une bande de nettoyage mise en contact sur le sol par basculement du châssis et, d'autre part, des moyens d'entraînement de la bande, caractérisé en ce que le basculement du châssis est obtenu par rapport à un point d'appui fixe constitué par l'un ou l'autre des rouleaux, en exerçant une poussée dans un sens ou dans l'autre sur une zone excentrée du châssis, par l'intermédiaire de l'extrémité distale du manche qui lui est associée, selon une position relative fixe.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose relates to a device for cleaning the floor, dry or wet, of the type constituted by an operating handle in connection with a chassis comprising, on the one hand, two rollers rotary front and rear between which is stretched a cleaning strip brought into contact with the ground by tilting the chassis and, on the other hand, belt drive means, characterized in that the tilting of the chassis is obtained with respect to a fixed fulcrum constituted by one or the other of the rollers, by exerting a push in one direction or the other on an eccentric zone of the frame, via the distal end of the handle which associated with it, according to a fixed relative position.
La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.
Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be produced with reference to the attached drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue selon une coupe longitudinale schématique du dispositif selon l'invention, en appui sur le rouleau postérieur, selon une première position de balayage ou de lavage,FIG. 1 is a view in a schematic longitudinal section of the device according to the invention, bearing on the rear roller, in a first scanning or washing position,
- la figure 2 est une vue selon une coupe longitudinale schématique du dispositif selon l'invention, en appui sur le rouleau antérieur, selon une seconde position de séchage.- Figure 2 is a view in schematic longitudinal section of the device according to the invention, bearing on the front roller, in a second drying position.
Le dispositif de nettoyage du sol, à sec ou mouillé, désigné enThe device for cleaning the floor, dry or wet, designated
1 globalement sur les figures, est constitué par un manche de manoeuvre 2 en liaison avec un châssis 3. Le châssis 3 comprend deux rouleaux, notament cylindriques, rotatifs dont l'un antérieur 4 et l'autre postérieur 5 entre lesquels est tendue une bande de nettoyage 6.1 overall in the figures, is constituted by an operating handle 2 in connection with a chassis 3. The chassis 3 comprises two rollers, notably cylindrical, rotary, one anterior 4 and the other posterior 5 between which is stretched cleaning tape 6.
Cette bande de nettoyage 6 est mise en contact sur le sol 7, notamment par l'un ou l'autre des rouleaux 4 ou 5, par basculement du châssis 3 dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Par ailleurs, le dispositif comporte des moyens 8 d'entraînement de la bande 6 à partir d'une bobine dévideuse 9 vers une bobine ré-enrouleuse 10.This cleaning strip 6 is brought into contact on the ground 7, in particular by one or the other of the rollers 4 or 5, by tilting the chassis 3 in one direction or the other. Furthermore, the device comprises means 8 for driving the strip 6 from a reel 9 to a rewinding reel 10.
Selon l'invention, le basculement du châssis 3 est obtenu par rapport à un point d'appui fixe A ou B, constitué par l'un ou l'autre des rouleaux 4, 5, en exerçant une poussée dans un sens F^ ou dans l'autre F2 sur une zoneAccording to the invention, the tilting of the chassis 3 is obtained with respect to a fixed bearing point A or B, constituted by one or the other of the rollers 4, 5, by exerting a thrust in a direction F ^ or in the other F 2 on an area
C du châssis 3, notamment située à l'arrière desdits rouleaux 4, 5, par l'intermédiaire d'une extrémité proximale 2A du manche 2 qui lui est associée selon une position relative fixe.C of the chassis 3, in particular situated at the rear of said rollers 4, 5, by means of a proximal end 2A of the handle 2 which is associated with it in a fixed relative position.
En fait, le manche 2 est positionné par rapport au châssis 3 selon un angle α fixe prédéterminé, de manière à donner un confort d'utilisation dans l'une ou l'autre des positions du dispositif.In fact, the handle 2 is positioned relative to the chassis 3 at a predetermined fixed angle α, so as to provide comfort in use in one or other of the positions of the device.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif 1 comporte, en outre, des moyens d'humidification 11 de la bande 6 dont la mise en oeuvre s'effectue simultanément à celle des moyens 8 d'entraînement de ladite bande 6, par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de commande unique 12.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device 1 further comprises means 11 for humidifying the strip 6, the implementation of which is carried out simultaneously with that of the means 8 for driving said strip 6, by through a single controller 12.
Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, l'organe de commande unique 12 d'entraînement en rotation de la bande 6 et d'humidification simultanée de celle-ci est constitué au moins par un câble de traction. Celui-ci est actionné manuellement par un opérateur par l'intermédiaire d'une poignée (non représentée), associée au manche 2 à son extrémité proximale, opposée de son extrémité distale 2A solidaire de la zoneAccording to the present exemplary embodiment, the single control member 12 for driving the strip 6 in rotation and simultaneously humidifying the latter is constituted at least by a traction cable. This is manually actuated by an operator via a handle (not shown), associated with the handle 2 at its proximal end, opposite its distal end 2A secured to the area
C du châssis 3. Sur cette poignée, qui peut être du type « levier de frein de bicyclette », l'opérateur est susceptible d'exercer une action F3 simultanément sur les moyens d'entraînement 8 de la bande 6 et sur les moyens d'humidification 11 et cela par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'actionnement commun 13 interposé entre eux.C of the chassis 3. On this handle, which may be of the “bicycle brake lever” type, the operator is capable of exerting an action F 3 simultaneously on the drive means 8 of the strip 6 and on the means humidification 11 and this via an actuating member common 13 interposed between them.
L'organe d'actionnement commun 13 est constitué par un basculeur, articulé sur le châssis 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un axe d'articulation 14. Le basculeur 13 est susceptible d'être activé en pivotement autour de son axe d'articulation 14 lors d'une traction F3 sur le câble 12 avec lequel il est en liaison par l'intermédiaire de son extrémité 12a en liaison avec un étrier d'accrochage 15, réalisé sur le dos dudit basculeur 13. Le câble 12 est relié à la poignée par l'intermédiaire d'une gaine 16, 17 permettant un coulissement aisé.The common actuating member 13 is constituted by a rocker, articulated on the frame 3 via a hinge pin 14. The rocker 13 is capable of being pivotally activated around its hinge axis 14 during a pull F 3 on the cable 12 with which it is connected by means of its end 12a in connection with a hooking bracket 15, produced on the back of said rocker 13. The cable 12 is connected to the handle via a sheath 16, 17 allowing easy sliding.
C'est donc par l'intermédiaire du câble 12 que le basculeur 13 agit simultanément d'une part sur les moyens d'entraînement 8 de la bande et sur les moyens d'humidification 11.It is therefore via the cable 12 that the rocker 13 acts simultaneously on the one hand on the drive means 8 of the strip and on the humidification means 11.
Les moyens d'entraînement 8, notamment en rotation, sont constitués par un ensemble de roues 18 permettant l'entraînement et la tension de la bande 6, solidaire de la bobine ré-enrouleuse 10, et par un levier de transmission 19 articulé, à l'intérieur du basculeur 13, par un axe d'articulation 20.The drive means 8, in particular in rotation, consist of a set of wheels 18 allowing the drive and the tension of the strip 6, integral with the rewinding reel 10, and by an articulated transmission lever 19, inside the rocker 13, by a hinge pin 20.
Le levier de transmission 19 est en prise successivement avec les dents dudit ensemble de roues 18 pour une avance pas à pas de celle-ci et de la bobine ré-enrouleuse 10 qui lui est associée.The transmission lever 19 is engaged successively with the teeth of said set of wheels 18 for a step-by-step advance of the latter and of the rewinding reel 10 which is associated with it.
Pour cela, lesdites dents de l'ensemble 18, solidaire de la bobine ré-enrouleuse 10, sont orientées angulairement dans un sens opposé à celui de rotation R1 de cette dernière. De plus, l'extrémité du levier de transmission 19 forme un angle de manière à pouvoir coopérer positivement avec ledit ensemble de roues 18 pour un sens d'entraînement selon R., de la bande 6 et à lui échapper dans un sens inverse R2 correspondant au retour en position initiale dudit levier 19.For this, said teeth of the assembly 18, integral with the rewinding reel 10, are angularly oriented in a direction opposite to that of rotation R 1 of the latter. In addition, the end of the transmission lever 19 forms an angle so as to be able to cooperate positively with said set of wheels 18 for a direction of drive along R., of the strip 6 and to escape it in an opposite direction R 2 corresponding to the return to the initial position of said lever 19.
En ce qui concerne les moyens d'humidification 11, ceux-ci sont constitués par une pompe mécanique 21 distribuant un agent nettoyant contenu dans un réservoir non représenté. La pompe 21 est actionnée par un levier de commande 22 articulé sur le châssis 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un axe d'articulation 23.As regards the humidification means 11, these consist of a mechanical pump 21 distributing a cleaning agent contained in a reservoir, not shown. The pump 21 is actuated by a control lever 22 articulated on the chassis 3 via a hinge pin 23.
Comme le montre bien la figure 1 , le levier de commande 22 est interposé entre la pompe 21 et le basculeur 13. De cette manière, lors d'une traction sur le câble 12 agissant en basculement sur le basculeur 13, celui-ci sollicite en basculement par le dos de son extrémité dirigée vers la pompe 21 , ledit levier de commande 22.As shown in FIG. 1, the control lever 22 is interposed between the pump 21 and the rocker 13. In this way, when pulling on the cable 12 acting in rocking on the rocker 13, the latter biases tilting by the back of its end directed towards the pump 21, said control lever 22.
En outre, l'action sur le basculeur 13 par le câble 12 provoque simultanément la rotation de la bobine ré-enrouleuse 10 d'une partie de bande 6 salie tout en injectant simultanément une dose prédéterminée d'agents nettoyants liquides sur la nouvelle partie de bande 6 propre se présentant.In addition, the action on the rocker 13 by the cable 12 simultaneously causes the rewinding reel 10 to rotate a portion of soiled strip 6 while simultaneously injecting a predetermined dose of liquid cleaning agents onto the new portion of clean band 6 presenting itself.
De manière à contribuer au bon fonctionnement de ces différents mouvements, un premier organe élastique de rappel 24 est interposé entre le levier de transmission 19 et le basculeur 13. Il s'agit en l'occurrence d'un ressort spirale de traction.In order to contribute to the proper functioning of these different movements, a first elastic return member 24 is interposed between the transmission lever 19 and the rocker 13. It is in this case a spiral traction spring.
Egalement, un second organe de ressort de rappel élastiqueAlso, a second elastic return spring member
25 est interposé entre le basculeur 13 et une partie fixe du châssis 3. En l'occurrence, il s'agit d'un ressort en épingle entourant l'axe d'articulation 14 du basculeur 13 dont une branche est en appui sur une paroi interne de celui-ci et l'autre sur une partie fixe dudit châssis 3.25 is interposed between the rocker 13 and a fixed part of the chassis 3.
