Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to surface maintenance or conditioning machines, and particularly those machines employing one or more surface maintenance or conditioning appliances or tools that perform one or more tasks including, among others, scrubbing, sweeping, and polishing or burnishing.
- the more specifically, the present invention is particularly directed to a suspension system for a surface maintenance appliance, and specifically a burnishing assembly.
- Surface maintenance machines that perform a single surface maintenance or surface conditioning task are, of course, well known. Surface maintenance machines are generally directed to applications such as floor surfaces, or simply floors.
- the term floor refers to any support surface, such as, among others, floors, pavements, road surfaces, ship decks, and the like.
- floor or surface maintenance machines are constructed having a single surface conditioning appliance or system so as to only sweep, others to scrub, while still others only to polish or burnish. It is of course possible to construct a single surface maintenance machine to perform one or more of the aforementioned surface maintenance tasks.
- a multi-task floor conditioning machine is disclosed in a PCT application having publication WO 00/74549, published 14 Dec. 2000, entitled, "Floor Cleaning Machine,” by inventors Thomas, et al, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for any and all purposes.
- the machine disclosed therein performs the task of sweeping, scrubbing, and burnishing, and includes a squeegee assembly in combination with a vacuum system for removing cleaning solution from a floor subsequent to a cleaning and scrubbing operation.
- WO 00/74549 thereshown is a single unitary walk-behind machine that is transportable across a floor. Successively attached to the machine, from front to back, are independent floor maintenance systems. At the forward section of the machine is a sweeping system. At the rearward section of the machine — machine steering control - is a burnishing system. In between the sweeping system and the burnishing system is a scrubbing system including forward scrubbing brushes coupled to a cleaning solution dispensing system and rearward following squeegees coupled to a liquid vacuum system for recovering expended cleaning solution.
- Burnishing systems generally include a scheme for controlling the degree of burnishing applied to a floor surface depending upon the type of floor surface intended to be burnished.
- Burnishing systems well known in the art commonly include a driver assembly which includes a working appliance or tool such as a pad or brush affixed to a driver that is rotatably driven by a driver motor.
- the driver assembly of the burnishing systems of the prior art have been selectively raised and lowered by an actuator so as to achieve an intended force or pressure against a floor surface intended to be polished or burnished.
- Scrubbing systems are analogous to burnishing systems, and are also well known in the art. Scrubbing systems commonly include a driver assembly including rotatable scrubber in the form of a brush, pad, or the like, and a scheme for controlling the degree of scrubbing applied to a floor surface depending upon the type of floor surface intended to be scrubbed. Too much scrubbing of course may deleteriously affect the floor surface requiring further maintenance.
- the scrabber driver assemblies for scrubbing systems like burnishing systems, are of course well known in the art and commonly include one or more rotatable brushes driven by a driver motor affixed to a scrubber head.
- Scrubber heads of the prior art have been selectively raised and lowered by an actuator coupled to the driver so as to achieve an intended force or pressure of the brush against a floor surface intended to be scrubbed. Examples of the latter are taught in U.S. Patents 4,757,566; 4,769,271; 5,481,776; 5,615,437; 5,943,724; and 6,163,915, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for any and all purposes.
- Sweeper systems are also analogous to burnishing systems.
- Sweeper systems commonly include a rotatable sweeper system brush driven by a driver motor.
- the sweeper system brush may be lowered and raised relative to a floor, which may more or less affect the floor surface.
- floor conditioning machines are powered by a rechargeable battery supply.
- the battery voltage applied to the various floor conditioning systems or appliances, and particularly to the driver motor will decay in relation to the energy discharged by the battery and the total time of discharge.
- the mechanical burnishing power delivered to the floor is therefore dependent upon the voltage and current delivered to the driver motor.
- Burnishing appliances or systems on such floor maintenance machines have several factors that place design demands on the suspension system from the floor maintenance machine that are suspended. This is so since commonly the burnishing pad is somewhat surrounded in part by peripheral portion of the driver and is surrounded by an attached skirt extending from peripheral portions of the driver - the skirt preventing dust and debris from being injected into the environment.
- a vacuum is established within the chamber formed by the burnishing system driver and skirt. This in turn causes a vacuum which tends to pull the burnishing assembly toward the floor. This vacuum may be controlled by way of providing breather vents or ports in the skirt.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a suspension system for a floor maintenance appliance suspended from a frame associated with a floor maintenance machine.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a suspension system for burnishing appliance or assembly suspended from a frame associated with a floor maintenance machine.
- a variable load suspension system for varying the work force of a surface maintenance appliance upon a surface intended to be affected, hi one exemplary embodiment, a series combination of an actuator and a spring assembly is coupled to a frame at one end, and the other end thereof is coupled to the surface maintenance appliance by way of an appropriate linkage.
- the spring assembly and specifically the spring, generally extends in the direction of transport of the surface maintenance machine 10, and the actuator causes motion transverse to the surface intended to be affected.
- the actuator and driver motor of the surface maintenance appliance are intended to be controlled by any of the aforementioned control systems known in the art as well as others without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

- Suspension system 200 includes an actuator 220 pivotally coupled to frame 20 through coupling member 224, and having an actuator rod 222 pivotally coupled to a spring assembly 400 (not shown in Figure 2, shown in Figure 4).
- Spring assembly 400 is coupled to a 4-point or four parallel bar linkage system 215 through coupling brackets 250L and 250R.
- a pair of mounting bracket 210L and 21 OR is intended to be rigidly attached to the burnishing assembly driver member 110 upon which a driver motor is generally mounted.
- Burnishing assembly 100 is coupled to frame 20 by way of the 4-point or 4-bar linkage 215 including bars 230L, 230R, 240L, and 240R. Ends 232L, 232R, 242L, and 242R are pivotally coupled to frame 20 (not shown) by way rotatable mounted pins, bolts, or the like mounted through apertures 234L, 234R, 244L, and 244R, respectively.
- the four point linkage system is of course well known for generally lifting and lowering an assembly with generally transverse movement relative to the ground plane upon which the assembly may rest. In other words, permits vertical movement while fixed in a lateral position relative to a reference frame, namely the frame 20 of the surface maintenance machine 10.
- Suspension coupling bracket 250L has a first end 252L rigidly secured to bar 240L by way mounting bolts 253, welding, or the like. The other end of bracket 250L is pivotally coupled to one end of spring assembly 400 as will subsequently be described in detail below.
- bracket 250R has a first end 252R rigidly secured to bar 240R by way mounting bolts 253 (not shown) or the like. The other end of bracket 250R is also pivotally coupled to one end 410 of spring assembly 400, and is substantially identical to suspension coupling bracket 250L but is substantially hidden from view in the figures.

- rod shaped members 431 pass through, in part, arcuate slots 255L (255R not shown). These slots may be omitted as their function provides for obtaining the appliance assembly position identified as numeral 103 in Figure 1 while maintaining pivotal coupling.
- suspension coupling brackets 250L and 250R are somewhat "s-shaped" so as to permit unobstructed movement of the 4-point suspension system, while at the same time permit 4-point suspension system to be affected, in part, by the combination spring assembly 400 and actuator 220.
- Actuator 220 includes a mounting member 224 for pivotally coupling actuator 220 to frame 20. Similarly end member 223 of actuator rod 222 is pivotally coupled to housing end member 423 by way of any suitable pivotal coupling, for example a travis pin assembly or the like as indicated by numeral 425.
- draw spring assembly may have a free length spring of 29 inches, an installed length of 15 inches (compressed spring) with a 20 lbs.-inch rate of spring force. It is of course should be understood by those skilled in the art that the size of draw spring assembly 400 may be embodied by way of a wide array of physical sizes depending upon the weight of the burnishing assembly, and the available room and cost considerations associated with the surface maintenance machine 10.
- the burnishing assembly in the actuator retracted position, is the machine transport position indicated by numeral 101 in Figure 1 and the assembly is away from the floor surface.
- the actuator In the "operate position," the actuator is extended a predetermined amount until the burnishing head makes contact with the floor surface while under the influence of the draw spring assembly 400.
- the actuator 220 and burnishing head driver 110 motor may be controlled to achieve regulated work force upon the surface intended to be affected.
- Actuator 220 is selectively controlled during operation to adjust the degree of spring compression, and hence the degree of spring force transferred by spring assembly 400 to burnishing assembly 100.
- Actuator 220 may be a hydraulic actuator (not shown) or other known actuation device appreciated by those skilled in the relevant arts.
- the present invention provides a horizontal packaging technique for achieving variable spring load in the vertical direction of a surface maintenance assembly or appliance, for example burnishing, scrubbing, waxing assemblies, and the like.
