Description

清掃装置Cleaning device
本発明は、床等を拭き掃除するための清掃装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a cleaning device for wiping and cleaning a floor or the like.
 従来、この種の清掃装置としては、スチーム発生機が発生させたスチームをスチーム噴出管から床面等に噴出させた後、雑巾装着部に装着された雑巾によって、凝縮したスチームと共に床面等の汚れを拭き取るスチームクリーナーが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。 Conventionally, as this type of cleaning device, after the steam generated by the steam generator is ejected from the steam ejection pipe to the floor surface, etc., the floor surface etc. together with the condensed steam by the rag attached to the rag attachment portion. A steam cleaner that wipes off dirt is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
特開2001-327449号公報JP 2001-327449 A
 しかしながら、このような従来の清掃装置は、使用するスチームの熱によって、意図せず床面等の被清掃面に塗布されたワックスまでも剥がしてしまう虞があった。また、従来の清掃装置は、高温のスチームを使用するため、場合によっては、使用者や周りにいる者を火傷させてしまう虞があった。また、従来の清掃装置は、高出力のヒータを用いて大量のスチームを短時間で発生させなければならないので、大電力を消費してしまうばかりでなく、水の沸騰音やスチームの噴射による騒音等が発生するので、静かに清掃することができないという問題があった。更に、従来の清掃装置は、スチームを発生させるために水を沸騰させる必要があり、高出力のヒータを用いたとしても、電力の供給を開始してからスチームが発生して使用可能となるまでに時間がかかるので、使いたい時に手軽にすぐ使用できないという問題もあった。 However, such a conventional cleaning device may unintentionally remove even the wax applied to the surface to be cleaned such as the floor surface due to the heat of the steam used. In addition, since the conventional cleaning device uses high-temperature steam, there is a possibility that a user or a person around may be burned in some cases. In addition, the conventional cleaning device must generate a large amount of steam in a short time using a high-power heater, which not only consumes a large amount of power, but also generates water boiling noise and steam injection noise. As a result, there is a problem that it cannot be cleaned gently. Furthermore, in the conventional cleaning device, it is necessary to boil water in order to generate steam. Even if a high-power heater is used, steam is generated and can be used after starting to supply power. It takes a long time, so there is a problem that it cannot be used easily when it is desired.
 本発明は以上の問題点を解決し、安全且つ省電力で騒音も小さく、汚れのみを効果的に拭き取ることができると共に、短時間で手軽に使用できる清掃装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and to provide a cleaning device that is safe and power-saving, has low noise, can effectively wipe off only dirt, and can be used easily in a short time.

At the same time, the wiping member main body is attached so as to be rotatable around the axis of the connecting cylinder.
 また、本発明の請求項11に記載の清掃装置は、請求項9において、前記拭部材内に、前記本体内のミスト通路と連通するミスト通路を形成したものである。 The cleaning device according to claim 11 of the present invention is the cleaning device according to claim 9, wherein a mist passage communicating with the mist passage in the main body is formed in the wiping member.
 更に、本発明の請求項12に記載の清掃装置は、請求項10において、前記拭部材本体の下部に形成された凹部と、前記拭部材本体の下後部に取り付けられた保持体の上面部に形成された突起部とを有し、前記突起部が、前記凹部内に挿入可能に設けられたものである。 Furthermore, in the cleaning device according to claim 12 of the present invention, the cleaning device according to claim 10 is provided on a concave portion formed in a lower portion of the wiping member main body and an upper surface portion of a holding body attached to a lower rear portion of the wiping member main body. And the protrusions are provided so as to be insertable into the recesses.
 本発明の請求項1に記載の清掃装置は、以上のように構成することにより、前記霧化装置の超音波振動子を振動させて発生させたミストが、前記電動送風機が発生させた気流に乗って送り出され、前記ミスト通路を経由して前記ミストノズルから被清掃面に向けて噴出する。そして、被清掃面に向けて噴出したミストによって被清掃面が濡らされ、この被清掃面上の水分を前記拭部材によって汚れや塵埃ごと拭き取ることで、被清掃面が拭き上げられる。この際、被清掃面には比較的温度の低いミストが吹き付けられるので、被清掃面に塗布されたワックス等の保護層を剥がしてしまわないようにすることができるばかりでなく、使用者や周りにいる者を火傷させないようにすることができる。また、ミストを送り出すための気流の温度が周囲の気温とほぼ等しい(即ち、気流の密度が周囲の空気の密度とほぼ等しい)ことで、前記気流は、前記ミストノズルから噴出された後で上昇せず、被清掃面に沿って広がる。この結果、前記ミストは、前記気流中で自重により沈降して被清掃面を効果的に濡らすことができるので、被清掃面上の塵埃にミストを効果的に付着させ、清掃中に塵埃が舞い上がりにくくすることができる。更に、前記霧化装置が超音波振動子を有することで、小電力で大量のミストを発生させることができるばかりでなく、使用を開始するための操作から短時間でミストを発生させることができると共に、ミストの発生に伴う騒音を抑えることができる。 By configuring the cleaning device according to claim 1 of the present invention as described above, the mist generated by vibrating the ultrasonic vibrator of the atomizing device is converted into the air flow generated by the electric blower. It is sent out and ejected from the mist nozzle toward the surface to be cleaned through the mist passage. Then, the surface to be cleaned is wetted by the mist ejected toward the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is wiped up by wiping the moisture on the surface to be cleaned together with dirt and dust with the wiping member. At this time, since the mist having a relatively low temperature is sprayed on the surface to be cleaned, not only can the protective layer such as wax applied to the surface to be cleaned be removed, but also the user and the surrounding area. You can prevent burners from being burned. In addition, since the temperature of the airflow for sending out the mist is substantially equal to the ambient air temperature (that is, the density of the airflow is approximately equal to the density of the surrounding air), the airflow rises after being ejected from the mist nozzle. Without spreading, it spreads along the surface to be cleaned. As a result, the mist can sink due to its own weight in the air flow and effectively wet the surface to be cleaned, so that the mist effectively adheres to the dust on the surface to be cleaned and the dust rises during cleaning. Can be difficult. Further, since the atomizing device has an ultrasonic vibrator, not only can a large amount of mist be generated with a small electric power, but also a mist can be generated in a short time from an operation for starting use. At the same time, noise accompanying the generation of mist can be suppressed.
 また、本発明の請求項2に記載の清掃装置は、以上のように構成することにより、前記霧化装置の超音波振動子を振動させて発生させたミストが、前記電動送風機が発生させた気流に乗って送り出され、前記ミスト通路を経由して前記ミストノズルから被清掃面に向けて噴出する。そして、被清掃面に向けて噴出したミストによって被清掃面が濡らされ、この被清掃面上の水分を前記拭部材によって汚れや塵埃ごと拭き取ることで、被清掃面が拭き上げられる。この際、被清掃面には比較的温度の低いミストが吹き付けられるので、被清掃面に塗布されたワックス等の保護層を剥がしてしまわないようにすることができるばかりでなく、使用者や周りにいる者を火傷させないようにすることができる。また、前記霧化装置で発生したミストのうち、粗いミストが前記遠心分離室で分離され、細かいミストが前記ミスト通路を経て前記ノズルから被掃除面に吹き付けられるので、ミストが薬剤等を含む場合、ミストの体積に対する表面積の比率が高くなることで、被清掃面に付着した汚れに対する反応性を高めることができる。また、ミストを送り出すための気流の温度が周囲の気温とほぼ等しい(即ち、気流の密度が周囲の空気の密度とほぼ等しい)ことで、前記気流は、前記ミストノズルから噴出された後で上昇せず、被清掃面に沿って広がる。この結果、前記ミストは、前記気流中で自重により沈降して被清掃面を効果的に濡らすことができるので、被清掃面上の塵埃にミストを効果的に付着させ、清掃中に塵埃が舞い上がりにくくすることができる。更に、前記霧化装置が超音波振動子を有することで、小電力で大量のミストを発生させることができるばかりでなく、使用を開始するための操作から短時間でミストを発生させることができると共に、ミストの発生に伴う騒音を抑えることができる。 Moreover, the cleaning device according to claim 2 of the present invention is configured as described above, so that the electric blower generates the mist generated by vibrating the ultrasonic vibrator of the atomizing device. It is sent out in the air current and ejected from the mist nozzle toward the surface to be cleaned through the mist passage. Then, the surface to be cleaned is wetted by the mist ejected toward the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is wiped up by wiping the moisture on the surface to be cleaned together with dirt and dust with the wiping member. At this time, since the mist having a relatively low temperature is sprayed on the surface to be cleaned, not only can the protective layer such as wax applied to the surface to be cleaned be removed, but also the user and the surrounding area. You can prevent burners from being burned. Also, among the mist generated in the atomizer, coarse mist is separated in the centrifugal separation chamber, and fine mist is sprayed from the nozzle to the surface to be cleaned through the mist passage. By increasing the ratio of the surface area to the volume of mist, the reactivity with respect to dirt adhered to the surface to be cleaned can be increased. In addition, since the temperature of the airflow for sending out the mist is substantially equal to the ambient air temperature (that is, the density of the airflow is approximately equal to the density of the surrounding air), the airflow rises after being ejected from the mist nozzle. Without spreading, it spreads along the surface to be cleaned. As a result, the mist can sink due to its own weight in the air flow and effectively wet the surface to be cleaned, so that the mist effectively adheres to the dust on the surface to be cleaned and the dust rises during cleaning. Can be difficult. Further, since the atomizing device has an ultrasonic vibrator, not only can a large amount of mist be generated with a small electric power, but also a mist can be generated in a short time from an operation for starting use. At the same time, noise accompanying the generation of mist can be suppressed.
 また、本発明の請求項3に記載の清掃装置は、前記ミスト通路の途中に液止め部を設けたことで、前記清掃装置を倒してしまった場合でも、前記霧化装置内の水が前記ミスト通路を経て前記ノズルから被清掃面に流出するのを防止することができる。 Moreover, even if the cleaning apparatus of Claim 3 of this invention provided the liquid stop part in the middle of the said mist channel | path, and the said cleaning apparatus was fallen, the water in the said atomization apparatus is the said It is possible to prevent the nozzle from flowing out to the surface to be cleaned through the mist passage.
 また、本発明の請求項4に記載の清掃装置は、前記本体を前記拭部材に対して垂直状態から後方に傾斜可能にすると共に、前記霧化装置の霧化室の下後部に前記超音波振動子を設けたことで、使用に伴って前記本体を後方に傾斜させても、振動中の前記超音波振動子が空中に露出しにくくなっているので、前記超音波振動子を破損させにくくすることができる。 In addition, the cleaning device according to claim 4 of the present invention enables the main body to be tilted backward from a vertical state with respect to the wiping member, and the ultrasonic wave is provided at a lower rear portion of the atomizing chamber of the atomizing device. By providing a vibrator, even if the main body is tilted backward with use, the ultrasonic vibrator that is vibrating is less likely to be exposed to the air, so the ultrasonic vibrator is less likely to be damaged. can do.
 また、本発明の請求項5に記載の清掃装置は、前記導風路が前記筒状部の下部の前側に設けられたことで、前記本体を後方に傾斜させたとしても、前記霧化室内の水が前記導風路から漏れることがなく、前記電動送風機を濡らさないようにすることができる。 Further, in the cleaning device according to claim 5 of the present invention, even if the main body is inclined rearward because the air guide path is provided on the front side of the lower portion of the cylindrical portion, the atomizing chamber is provided. The water does not leak from the air guide passage, and the electric blower can be prevented from getting wet.
 また、本発明の請求項6に記載の清掃装置は、以上のように構成することにより、前記霧化装置の超音波振動子を振動させて発生させたミストが、前記電動送風機が発生させた気流に乗って送り出され、前記ミスト通路を経由して前記ミストノズルから被清掃面に向けて噴出する。そして、被清掃面に向けて噴出したミストによって前記拭部材の前方の被清掃面が濡らされ、この濡らされた被清掃面を前記拭部材によって汚れごと拭き取ることで、被清掃面が拭き上げられる。この際、被清掃面には比較的温度の低いミストが吹き付けられるので、被清掃面に塗布されたワックス等の保護層を融かして剥がしてしまわないようにすることができるばかりでなく、使用者や周りにいる者を火傷させないようにすることができる。また、ミストを送り出すための気流の温度が周囲の気温とほぼ等しい(即ち、気流の密度が周囲の空気の密度とほぼ等しい)ことで、この気流が、前記ミストノズルから噴出された後で上昇せず、被清掃面上で薄く広がると共に、この気流中で前記ミストが沈降して被清掃面を効果的に濡らすことができるので、被清掃面上の塵埃にミストを効果的に付着させ、清掃中に塵埃が舞い上がりにくくすることができる。また、前記霧化装置が超音波振動子を有することで、小電力で大量のミストを発生させることができるばかりでなく、使用を開始するための操作から短時間でミストを発生させることができると共に、ミストの発生に伴う騒音を抑えることができる。更に、前記本体の被清掃面に対する姿勢がほぼ一定であることで、使用中に前記本体が傾くことがなく、振動中の前記超音波振動子が空中に露出しないので、前記超音波振動子を破損させにくくすることができる。 Moreover, the cleaning device according to claim 6 of the present invention is configured as described above, so that the electric blower generates mist generated by vibrating the ultrasonic vibrator of the atomizing device. It is sent out in the air current and ejected from the mist nozzle toward the surface to be cleaned through the mist passage.

Further, the temperature of the airflow for sending out the mist is substantially equal to the ambient air temperature (that is, the density of the airflow is substantially equal to the density of the surrounding air), so that the airflow rises after being ejected from the mist nozzle. Without spreading, the mist spreads thinly on the surface to be cleaned, and the mist settles in this air stream, so that the surface to be cleaned can be effectively wetted, so that the mist is effectively adhered to the dust on the surface to be cleaned, Dust can be made difficult to rise during cleaning. In addition, since the atomizing device has an ultrasonic vibrator, not only can a large amount of mist be generated with low power, but also a mist can be generated in a short time from an operation for starting use. At the same time, noise accompanying the generation of mist can be suppressed. Further, since the posture of the main body with respect to the surface to be cleaned is substantially constant, the main body does not tilt during use, and the vibrating ultrasonic vibrator is not exposed to the air. It can be made difficult to break.

 次に、本実施形態の作用について説明する。まず使用者は、前記水タンク9に水を入れた後、この水タンク9を前記霧化室10に取り付ける。そして、このように前記水タンク9が前記霧化室10に取り付けられると、前記水タンク9内の水は前記霧化室10内に流れ込む。そして、この霧化室10内の水位が所定の値に達すると、前記水タンク9から前記霧化室10への水の流入は停止する。ここで、前述したように、前記超音波振動子13が、前記霧化室10の底部に形成された前記貫通孔12を閉塞するように取り付けられていることで、前記霧化室10における最も低い位置に設けられるので、前記本体2が直立した状態では、前記超音波振動子13は、常時水中に位置する。なお、前記清掃装置1を使用する場合、前記把持部5の握り部26を把持し、図3に示すように、前記本体2を後方に傾斜させることになる。しかしながら、前述したように、前記貫通孔12が前記霧化室10の後方寄りに形成されることで、前記超音波振動子13が、前記霧化室10の後方寄りに設けられるので、図6に示すように、前記本体2が後方に傾斜したとしても、前記超音波振動子13が水面上に露出しにくくなっている。そして、使用者は、前記拭シート23を前記基部22に取り付ける。更に、使用者は、前記電源プラグ31を図示しない交流電源に接続する。このようにして、前記清掃装置1は使用可能な状態となる。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the user puts water into the water tank 9 and then attaches the water tank 9 to the atomization chamber 10. When the water tank 9 is thus attached to the atomization chamber 10, the water in the water tank 9 flows into the atomization chamber 10. When the water level in the atomizing chamber 10 reaches a predetermined value, the inflow of water from the water tank 9 to the atomizing chamber 10 is stopped. Here, as described above, the ultrasonic transducer 13 is attached so as to close the through-hole 12 formed in the bottom of the atomization chamber 10, so that the most in the atomization chamber 10. Since it is provided at a low position, the ultrasonic transducer 13 is always located in water when the main body 2 is upright. In addition, when using the said cleaning apparatus 1, the grip part 26 of the said holding part 5 is hold | gripped, and as shown in FIG. 3, the said main body 2 will incline back. However, as described above, since the through-hole 12 is formed closer to the rear of the atomization chamber 10, the ultrasonic vibrator 13 is provided closer to the rear of the atomization chamber 10, so that FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, even if the main body 2 is inclined backward, the ultrasonic transducer 13 is difficult to be exposed on the water surface. Then, the user attaches the wiping sheet 23 to the base 22. Further, the user connects the power plug 31 to an AC power source (not shown). In this way, the cleaning device 1 is ready for use.
 そして、前記操作部27を操作して前記スイッチ28をオンにすることで、前記制御回路29は、前記交流-直流変換回路30によって直流変換された電力を、前記電動送風機7及び超音波振動子13に供給する。このように、前記超音波振動子13に電力が供給されると、この超音波振動子13は超音波帯域の振動数で振動し、前記霧化室10内の水を霧化する。このようにしてミストMが発生する。なお、前記電動送風機7及び超音波振動子13の作動音は、従来の清掃装置で用いられるスチーム発生装置と比べて静かである。従って、本願の清掃装置1は、従来のものに比べて静かにすることができる。また、超音波振動を霧化室10内の水に与えることで前記ミストが直ちに発生するので、本願の清掃装置1は、前記スイッチ28をオンにすることによって、前記ミストを速やかに発生させることができる。従って、本願の清掃装置1は、従来のものに比べて短時間で使用可能な状態にすることができる。更に、前記超音波振動子13は、従来の清掃装置で用いられるスチーム発生装置(即ちヒータ)と比べて消費電力が小さい。従って、本願の清掃装置1は、従来のものに比べて省電力にすることができる。そして、前記電動送風機7が作動することによって発生した気流Fは、前記遠心分離室11の筒状部14の下部に形成された前記導風路15から前記筒状部14内に流入する。なお、前記導風路15が、前記筒状部14の下部の前側に設けられていることで、前記本体2を後方に傾斜させたとしても、前記霧化室10内の水は前記導風路15から漏れることがない。従って、前記霧化室10内の水は前記電動送風機7を濡らすことがない。そして、前記導風路15が前記筒状部14の内面に対して接線方向に接続されるように形成されるので、前記気流Fは、前記筒状部14内で旋回流Vとなる。そして、前記ミストMが前記旋回流Vに乗って前記筒状部14内で回転することで、前記ミストMのうち、粒径の粗いもの(Ml)は、遠心力によって前記筒状部14の外周側に集まる。一方、前記ミストMのうち、粒径の細かいもの(Mf)は、前記筒状部14の中心側に集まる。そして、前記筒状部14の中心側に集まった前記細かいミストMfは、前記気流Fによって、前記排出路16から前記ミスト通路8に送られる。このようにして、前記細かいミストMfのみが前記遠心分離室11から流出する。なお、前記筒状部14の外周側に集められた前記粗いミストMlは、前記筒状部14の内壁に付着して水滴となる。この水滴は、前記筒状部14の内壁に沿って流れ落ち、前記霧化室10に戻る。また、前記ミストMの発生によって、前記霧化室10内の水が減ることになるが、この水の減少分は、前記水タンク9から前記霧化室10に供給される。 Then, by operating the operation unit 27 and turning on the switch 28, the control circuit 29 causes the electric blower 7 and the ultrasonic transducer to convert the electric power converted by the AC-DC conversion circuit 30. 13 is supplied. Thus, when electric power is supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator 13, the ultrasonic vibrator 13 vibrates at a frequency in the ultrasonic band, and atomizes the water in the atomizing chamber 10. In this way, mist M is generated. In addition, the operation sound of the electric blower 7 and the ultrasonic vibrator 13 is quieter than that of the steam generator used in the conventional cleaning device. Therefore, the cleaning device 1 of the present application can be made quieter than the conventional one. In addition, since the mist is generated immediately by applying ultrasonic vibration to the water in the atomization chamber 10, the cleaning device 1 of the present application quickly generates the mist by turning on the switch 28. Can do. Therefore, the cleaning device 1 of the present application can be put into a usable state in a shorter time than the conventional one. Furthermore, the ultrasonic transducer 13 consumes less power than a steam generator (ie, a heater) used in a conventional cleaning device. Therefore, the cleaning device 1 of the present application can save power compared to the conventional one. The air flow F generated by the operation of the electric blower 7 flows into the cylindrical portion 14 from the air guide path 15 formed in the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 14 of the centrifugal separation chamber 11. In addition, even if the said main body 2 is inclined back by the said air guide path 15 being provided in the front side of the lower part of the said cylindrical part 14, the water in the said atomization chamber 10 is the said air guide. There is no leakage from the road 15. Therefore, the water in the atomization chamber 10 does not wet the electric blower 7. And since the said air guide path 15 is formed so that it may connect in a tangential direction with respect to the inner surface of the said cylindrical part 14, the said air flow F turns into the swirl | vortex flow V in the said cylindrical part 14. FIG. Then, as the mist M rides on the swirl flow V and rotates in the cylindrical portion 14, the mist M having a coarse particle size (Ml) is caused by centrifugal force of the cylindrical portion 14. Gather on the outer periphery. On the other hand, fine particles (Mf) of the mist M gather on the center side of the cylindrical portion 14. The fine mist Mf gathered on the center side of the cylindrical portion 14 is sent from the discharge path 16 to the mist path 8 by the airflow F. In this way, only the fine mist Mf flows out from the centrifuge chamber 11. The coarse mist Ml collected on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 14 adheres to the inner wall of the cylindrical portion 14 and becomes water droplets. The water droplets flow down along the inner wall of the cylindrical portion 14 and return to the atomization chamber 10. Further, the generation of the mist M reduces the amount of water in the atomization chamber 10, and this reduced amount of water is supplied from the water tank 9 to the atomization chamber 10.
 前記ミスト通路8に送られた前記ミストMfは、前記上流側通路8A、前記液止め部17及び前記ホース部21を経て前記ミストノズル24へ送られ、このミストノズル24の噴出口24Bから前記被清掃面Sに吹き付けられる。なお、前記ミストMfは、前記入口管部19から前記貯水部18内に入り、前記出口管部20から出ることで、前記液止め部17を通過することができる。一方、前記清掃装置1を転倒させてしまった場合、前記排出路16から前記上流側通路8Aを経て前記液止め部17に液体状の水Wが流入する可能性があるものの、このような水Wは、前記本体2が直立した図9の状態において、前記出口管部20の端部20Aが下向きに開口するように屈曲して構成されるので、前記貯水部18内で落下し、前記出口管部20の端部20Aから流出することができない。そして、前記ホース部21は、前述した通り屈曲自在なので、前記関節部3の動きを妨げることがない。 The mist Mf sent to the mist passage 8 is sent to the mist nozzle 24 via the upstream passage 8A, the liquid stopper 17 and the hose portion 21, and is discharged from the jet outlet 24B of the mist nozzle 24. Sprayed onto the cleaning surface S. The mist Mf can pass through the liquid stopper 17 by entering the water reservoir 18 from the inlet pipe 19 and exiting the outlet pipe 20. On the other hand, when the cleaning device 1 is turned over, liquid water W may flow into the liquid stopper 17 from the discharge passage 16 through the upstream passage 8A. In the state of FIG. 9 in which the main body 2 stands upright, W is configured to be bent so that the end portion 20A of the outlet pipe portion 20 opens downward. It cannot flow out from the end portion 20 </ b> A of the pipe portion 20. And since the hose part 21 is bendable as described above, the movement of the joint part 3 is not hindered.
 更に、前記ミストノズル24は、前記清掃装置1の使用時においては、前記拭部材4の基部22との相対的な位置関係は、ほぼ固定される。即ち、前記清掃装置1の使用時において、前記ミストノズル24の噴出口24Bは、前記被清掃面Sに近接し続ける。そして、前述したように、前記ミストMfが前記被清掃面Sに吹き付けられることで、前記ミストMfは前記被清掃面Sを薄く濡らす。なお、前記ミストMfを送り出す気流Fは、前記電動送風機7が前記清掃装置1の外部から吸引した空気なので、前記清掃装置1の周囲の気温と殆ど同じ温度(即ち、周囲の空気と殆ど同じ密度)である。従って、前記気流Fは、前記噴出口24Bから噴出した後、上昇せず、前記被清掃面Sに沿って薄く広がる。このため、前記気流Fに乗った粒子状の前記ミストMfは、前記噴出口24Bから噴出した後、沈降しながら、前記被清掃面Sに沿って薄く広がる。このように、前記ミストMfが前記被清掃面Sに沿って薄く広がることで、前記ミストMfは、前記被清掃面S上の塵埃に付着しやすい。従って、前記被清掃面S上の塵埃は、前記ミストMfが付着することで、舞い上がりにくくなる。そして、前記ミストMfによって濡らされた前記被清掃面Sの汚れや塵埃は、使用者が前記把持部5の握り部26を持って前記拭部材4を前記被清掃面Sに沿って動かすことで、前記拭部材4の基部22に取り付けられた前記拭シート23によって拭き取られる。このようにして、前記被清掃面Sは清掃される。なお、前記被清掃面S上の水分は、前記拭シート23によって大部分が吸収されると共に、僅かに残った分も自然に乾燥する。 Furthermore, the relative positional relationship between the mist nozzle 24 and the base 22 of the wiping member 4 is substantially fixed when the cleaning device 1 is used. That is, when the cleaning device 1 is used, the jet outlet 24B of the mist nozzle 24 continues to be close to the surface to be cleaned S. As described above, when the mist Mf is sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned S, the mist Mf wets the surface to be cleaned S thinly. Note that the airflow F that sends out the mist Mf is air sucked from the outside of the cleaning device 1 by the electric blower 7, so that the temperature is almost the same as the ambient temperature of the cleaning device 1 (that is, almost the same density as the ambient air). ). Accordingly, the air flow F does not rise after being ejected from the ejection port 24B, and spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S. Therefore, the particulate mist Mf riding on the air flow F spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S while being ejected from the ejection port 24B and then sinking. As described above, the mist Mf spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S, so that the mist Mf easily adheres to dust on the surface to be cleaned S. Accordingly, the dust on the surface to be cleaned S is less likely to rise due to the mist Mf adhering thereto. The dirt and dust on the surface to be cleaned S wetted by the mist Mf is obtained by the user moving the wiping member 4 along the surface to be cleaned S with the grip portion 26 of the grip portion 5. The wiping sheet 23 attached to the base 22 of the wiping member 4 is wiped off. In this way, the surface to be cleaned S is cleaned. Most of the moisture on the surface to be cleaned S is absorbed by the wiping sheet 23 and the remaining portion is naturally dried.
 なお、前記ミストMfは、比較的低温なので、被清掃面Sに塗布されたワックス等を意図せず融かしてしまうということがない。従って、前記ミストMfを被清掃面Sに吹き付ける本願の清掃装置1は、汚れや塵埃のみを除去することができる。また、本願の清掃装置1は、前記ミストMfが比較的低温なので、使用者や周りにいる者が火傷等をしないようにすることができる。 Note that since the mist Mf is relatively low in temperature, the wax applied to the surface to be cleaned S is not unintentionally melted. Therefore, the cleaning device 1 of the present application that blows the mist Mf onto the surface to be cleaned S can remove only dirt and dust. Moreover, since the said mist Mf is comparatively low temperature, the cleaning apparatus 1 of this application can prevent a user or those around around from a burn etc.
 なお、前述したように、本実施形態では、前記細かいミストMfのみが前記ミストノズル24から被清掃面Sに吹き付けられる。前記細かいミストMfは、前記粗いミストMlと比較して、体積に対する表面積の割合が大きくなるので、前記水タンク9内の水に薬剤を添加することで前記ミストMfが薬剤を含む場合、このミストMfは、前記薬剤を広い面積で空気や汚れに触れさせて化学反応を速く進ませることが期待される。また、前記噴出口24Bが、前記拭部材4の基部22の幅とほぼ等しく形成されることで、前記ミストMfは前記基部22の幅よりも広範囲に広がり、前記被清掃面Sに付着する。この際、前記ミストMfは、前記被清掃面Sにおける前記拭シート23によって拭かれた部分を再び濡らす可能性がある。しかしながら、前述したように、前記ミストMfは細かいので、前記被清掃面Sを薄く広く濡らすことになる。従って、前記被清掃面Sを濡らす水は、拭き残されたとしても、速やかに蒸発する。従って、前記被清掃面Sは、長時間濡れたままにされない。 As described above, in the present embodiment, only the fine mist Mf is sprayed from the mist nozzle 24 onto the surface to be cleaned S. The fine mist Mf has a larger surface area ratio to the volume than the coarse mist Ml. Therefore, when the mist Mf contains a drug by adding the drug to the water in the water tank 9, the mist Mf Mf is expected to accelerate the chemical reaction by allowing the drug to come into contact with air and dirt over a wide area. Further, the mist Mf spreads over a wider range than the width of the base portion 22 and adheres to the surface to be cleaned S by forming the ejection port 24B substantially equal to the width of the base portion 22 of the wiping member 4. At this time, the mist Mf may rewet the portion of the surface to be cleaned S that has been wiped by the wiping sheet 23. However, as described above, since the mist Mf is fine, the surface to be cleaned S is wetted thinly and widely. Therefore, even if the water that wets the surface to be cleaned S is left unwiped, it quickly evaporates. Therefore, the surface to be cleaned S is not left wet for a long time.
 以上のように、本発明の清掃装置1は、霧化装置6の超音波振動子13が発生させたミストMを、電動送風機7が発生させた気流Fに乗せて送り出し、ミスト通路8を経由してミストノズル24から被清掃面Sに向けて噴出させることで被清掃面Sを濡らし、この被清掃面S上の水分を拭部材4の拭シート23によって汚れや塵埃ごと拭き取ることで、被清掃面Sを拭き掃除することができるものである。そして、前記ミストMのみならず、このミストMを送り出すための気流Fの温度が比較的低温なので、被清掃面Sのワックス等を剥がしてしまわず、汚れや塵埃のみを除去することができ、また、前記気流F及びこれに乗ったミストMが、前記ミストノズル24から噴出された後で上昇せず、被清掃面S上で薄く広がることで、被清掃面S上の塵埃にミストMを効果的に付着させ、清掃中に塵埃が舞い上がりにくくすることができ、更に、使用者や周りにいる者が火傷等をしないようにすることができるものである。更に、前記霧化装置6が超音波振動子13を有することで、小電力で大量の前記ミストMを発生させることができるばかりでなく、電力を供給してから短時間で前記ミストMを発生させることができると共に、前記ミストMの発生に伴う騒音を抑えることができるものである。 As described above, the cleaning device 1 of the present invention sends out the mist M generated by the ultrasonic vibrator 13 of the atomizing device 6 on the airflow F generated by the electric blower 7 and passes through the mist passage 8. Then, the surface to be cleaned S is wetted by being ejected from the mist nozzle 24 toward the surface to be cleaned S, and moisture on the surface to be cleaned S is wiped off along with dirt and dust by the wiping sheet 23 of the wiping member 4. The cleaning surface S can be wiped and cleaned. And since the temperature of not only the mist M but also the air flow F for sending out the mist M is relatively low, it is possible to remove only dirt and dust without peeling off the wax or the like of the surface S to be cleaned. Further, the airflow F and the mist M riding on the airflow F do not rise after being ejected from the mist nozzle 24 and spread thinly on the surface to be cleaned S, so that the mist M is applied to dust on the surface to be cleaned S. It is possible to effectively adhere, prevent dust from flying up during cleaning, and prevent the user and those around him from being burned. Further, since the atomizing device 6 includes the ultrasonic vibrator 13, not only can a large amount of the mist M be generated with a small amount of electric power, but also the mist M can be generated in a short time after power is supplied. It is possible to suppress noise caused by the generation of the mist M.
 また、本発明の清掃装置1は、導風路15から流入した前記気流Fが筒状部14内で旋回流Vになることで、前記霧化装置6で発生した前記ミストMのうち、粗いミストMlが遠心分離室11で遠心分離されて、細かいミストMfが排出路16から前記ミスト通路8を経て前記ミストノズル24から前記被掃除面Sに吹き付けられるので、前記ミストMfが薬剤等を含む場合、前記ミストMfの体積に対する表面積の比率を高め、前記被清掃面Sに付着した汚れや空気に対する反応性を高めることができるものである。 Further, the cleaning device 1 of the present invention is rough in the mist M generated in the atomizing device 6 because the air flow F flowing in from the air guide path 15 becomes the swirl flow V in the cylindrical portion 14. The mist Ml is centrifuged in the centrifuge chamber 11, and the fine mist Mf is sprayed from the discharge passage 16 through the mist passage 8 to the surface to be cleaned S from the mist nozzle 24, so that the mist Mf contains a medicine or the like. In this case, the ratio of the surface area to the volume of the mist Mf can be increased, and the reactivity to dirt and air adhering to the surface to be cleaned S can be increased.
 また、本発明の清掃装置1は、前記ミスト通路8の途中に液止め部17を設けたことで、前記清掃装置1を倒してしまった場合でも、前記霧化装置6内の水Wが前記ミスト通路8を経て前記ミストノズル24から被清掃面Sに流出するのを防止することができるものである。 In addition, the cleaning device 1 of the present invention is provided with the liquid stopper 17 in the middle of the mist passage 8, so that the water W in the atomization device 6 remains in the atomizing device 6 even when the cleaning device 1 is tilted. It is possible to prevent the mist nozzle 24 from flowing out to the surface to be cleaned S through the mist passage 8.
 更に、本発明の清掃装置1は、前記本体2を前記拭部材4に対して直立した状態から後方に傾斜可能にすると共に、前記霧化装置6の霧化室10の下後部に前記超音波振動子13を設けたことで、使用に伴って前記本体2を後方に傾斜させても、振動中の前記超音波振動子13が空中に露出しにくくなっているので、前記超音波振動子13を破損させにくくすることができるものである。 Further, the cleaning device 1 of the present invention enables the main body 2 to tilt backward from a state where it is upright with respect to the wiping member 4, and the ultrasonic wave is applied to the lower rear portion of the atomizing chamber 10 of the atomizing device 6. The provision of the vibrator 13 makes it difficult for the ultrasonic vibrator 13 that is vibrating to be exposed to the air even if the main body 2 is tilted backward with use. Can be made difficult to damage.

The connection tube 133 is fixed by being inserted into the connection tube portion 127, and the wiping member body 134 is attached to the connection tube 133 so as to be rotatable around a central axis X3. Therefore, in the state where the wiping member 103 is attached to the main body 102, the wiping member 103 can be rotated around the central axis X3 with respect to the main body 102, although the wiping member main body 134 is rotatable about the central axis X3.

The connecting cylinder 134 and the cavity 136 constitute a mist passage 138, and the mist passage 138 is configured to communicate with the mist passage 108. Therefore, by attaching the wiping member 103 to the main body 102, a path 139 from the atomizing device 106 to the mist nozzle 137 is formed by the mist passages 108 and 138. A recess 140 is formed in the lower part of the wiping member body 134. Further, a pair of left and right claw receiving portions 141 is formed at the lower front portion of the wiping member main body 134, and a pair of left and right holding portions (not shown) are provided at the lower rear portion of the wiping member main body 134.

 次に、本実施形態の作用について説明する。まず、使用者は、前記拭部材103にシート152を取り付ける。この際、使用者は、図17(a)に示すように、前記拭部材103を前記本体102から取り外して裏返すか、又は図17(b)に示すように、前記拭部材103を前記本体102から取り外さずに、前記拭部材本体134を前記接続筒133に対して中心軸線X3回りに回動させて裏返す。このように、前記拭部材本体134が裏返された状態で、前記係止爪部144を前記爪受け部141から外し、前記回動軸142を中心に前記保持体135を起こす。この際、前記拭部材本体134と保持体135との間が開くので、この間に前記シート152を挿入する。そして、前記回動軸142を中心に前記保持体135を倒し、前記係止爪部144を前記爪受け部141と再び係合させる。この際、前記シート152の一端側が、前記凹部140と突起部143とで挟持される。更に、前記シート152の他端側の左右両端部を、図示しない前記保持部に押し込む。このように、前記シート152の一端側と他端側が保持されるので、前記シート152は前記拭部材103に保持される。そして、使用者は、図17(a)に示すように、前記拭部材103を前記本体102から取り外した場合、前記接続筒133を前記接続筒部127に差し込んで、前記本体102に再び前記拭部材103を取り付け、前記シート152が下向きとなるようにする。或いは、図17(b)に示すように、前記拭部材103を前記本体102に取り付けたまま前記拭部材本体134を裏返した場合、前記拭部材本体134を中心軸線X3回りに回動させて元の姿勢にする。このように、前記拭部材103を前記本体102から取り外したり、前記拭部材本体134を裏返したりすることで、前記本体102の姿勢に関わりなく、前記拭部材103の下面側にシート152を容易に装着することができる。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the user attaches the sheet 152 to the wiping member 103. At this time, the user either removes the wiping member 103 from the main body 102 as shown in FIG. 17 (a) and turns it over or turns the wiping member 103 into the main body 102 as shown in FIG. 17 (b). The wiping member main body 134 is turned around the central axis X3 with respect to the connection tube 133 without being removed from the inside. In this manner, with the wiping member main body 134 turned upside down, the locking claw portion 144 is removed from the claw receiving portion 141 and the holding body 135 is raised around the rotating shaft 142. At this time, since the gap between the wiping member main body 134 and the holding body 135 is opened, the sheet 152 is inserted therebetween. Then, the holding body 135 is tilted around the rotation shaft 142, and the locking claw portion 144 is reengaged with the claw receiving portion 141. At this time, one end of the sheet 152 is sandwiched between the recess 140 and the protrusion 143. Further, the left and right end portions on the other end side of the sheet 152 are pushed into the holding portion (not shown). Thus, since the one end side and the other end side of the sheet 152 are held, the sheet 152 is held by the wiping member 103. When the user removes the wiping member 103 from the main body 102 as shown in FIG. 17A, the user inserts the connecting tube 133 into the connecting tube portion 127, and again wipes the wiping member into the main body 102. A member 103 is attached so that the sheet 152 faces downward. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the wiping member main body 134 is turned upside down while the wiping member 103 is attached to the main body 102, the wiping member main body 134 is rotated around the central axis X3 to return to the original position. To the posture. In this manner, by removing the wiping member 103 from the main body 102 or turning the wiping member main body 134 upside down, the sheet 152 can be easily placed on the lower surface side of the wiping member 103 regardless of the posture of the main body 102. Can be installed.
 なお、前述したように、前記拭部材本体134が前記本体102に対して傾斜した状態で前記接続筒133を前記接続筒部127に挿入したとしても、前記拭部材103と車輪105が被清掃面S’に接するように清掃装置101を被清掃面S’に載置することで、前記拭部材本体134が前記中心軸線X3回りに回動するので、前記拭部材103に装着されたシート152を確実に被清掃面S’に接触させることができる。また、前記拭部材本体134は、前記本体102に対して前記中心軸線X3回りに回動可能であるものの、この中心軸線X3が傾くようには動かないので、前記車輪105及び前記シート152が被清掃面S’に接するように載置された状態では、前記本体102は直立した状態を保つ。 As described above, even if the connecting tube 133 is inserted into the connecting tube portion 127 with the wiping member main body 134 tilted with respect to the main body 102, the wiping member 103 and the wheel 105 are to be cleaned. By placing the cleaning device 101 on the surface to be cleaned S ′ so as to be in contact with S ′, the wiping member main body 134 is rotated around the central axis X3, so that the sheet 152 attached to the wiping member 103 is removed. It is possible to reliably contact the surface to be cleaned S ′. Further, although the wiping member main body 134 is rotatable about the central axis X3 with respect to the main body 102, the wiping member main body 134 does not move so that the central axis X3 is inclined, so that the wheel 105 and the seat 152 are covered. In the state of being placed so as to be in contact with the cleaning surface S ′, the main body 102 maintains an upright state.
 そして、使用者は、前記フック129を操作して、前記外蓋128を開閉可能な状態とした後、この外蓋128を開き、前記水タンク109を取り外す。そして、前記水タンク109内に水W’を入れた後、この水タンク109を前記本体102に再び取り付ける。そして、このように前記水タンク109が前記本体102に再び取り付けられると、前記水タンク109内の水W’は、図示しない前記接続凹部を経由して、前記霧化室110の貯水部111に流入する。そして、この貯水部111内の水位が所定の値に達すると、前記水タンク109から前記貯水部111への水の流入は停止する。このようにして、前記霧化室110の貯水部111の水位は、ほぼ一定に保たれる。ここで、前述したように、前記超音波振動子113が、前記貯水部111を構成する前記下部材115の貯水凹部116の底部に形成された前記貫通孔118を閉塞するように取り付けられていることで、前記貯水部111における最も低い位置に設けられるので、前記超音波振動子113は、常時水中に位置する。そして、この後、使用者は再び前記外蓋128を閉じ、前記フック129によりロックする。更に、使用者は、前記電源プラグ132を図示しない交流電源に接続する。このようにして、前記清掃装置101は使用可能な状態となる。 Then, the user operates the hook 129 so that the outer lid 128 can be opened and closed, then opens the outer lid 128 and removes the water tank 109. And after putting water W 'in the said water tank 109, this water tank 109 is attached to the said main body 102 again. When the water tank 109 is reattached to the main body 102 in this way, the water W ′ in the water tank 109 passes through the connection recess (not shown) to the water storage part 111 of the atomization chamber 110. Inflow. When the water level in the water reservoir 111 reaches a predetermined value, the inflow of water from the water tank 109 to the water reservoir 111 is stopped. In this way, the water level of the water reservoir 111 of the atomization chamber 110 is kept substantially constant. Here, as described above, the ultrasonic transducer 113 is attached so as to close the through hole 118 formed in the bottom of the water storage recess 116 of the lower member 115 constituting the water storage unit 111. Thus, since it is provided at the lowest position in the water reservoir 111, the ultrasonic transducer 113 is always located in water. Thereafter, the user again closes the outer lid 128 and locks it with the hook 129. Further, the user connects the power plug 132 to an AC power source (not shown). In this way, the cleaning device 101 is ready for use.
 そして、使用者は、前記把持部148を把持し、前記軸線X1回りに前記操作腕部104を揺動させて任意に傾斜させた後、前記操作部151を操作する。このように、前記操作部151を操作して前記スイッチ150をオンにすることで、前記制御回路130Bは、前記交流-直流変換回路130Aによって直流変換された電力を、前記電動送風機107及び超音波振動子113に供給する。このように、前記超音波振動子113に電力が供給されると、この超音波振動子113は超音波帯域の振動数で振動し、前記貯水部111内の水W’を霧化する。このようにしてミストM’が発生する。なお、前記電動送風機107及び超音波振動子113の作動音は、従来の清掃装置で用いられるスチーム発生装置と比べて静かである。従って、本願の清掃装置101は、従来のものに比べて静かにすることができる。また、超音波振動を前記貯水部111内の水W’に与えることで前記ミストM’が直ちに発生するので、本願の清掃装置101は、前記スイッチ150をオンにすることによって、前記ミストM’を速やかに発生させることができる。従って、本願の清掃装置101は、従来のものに比べて短時間で使用可能な状態にすることができる。更に、前記超音波振動子113は、従来の清掃装置で用いられるスチーム発生装置(即ちヒータ)と比べて消費電力が小さい。従って、本願の清掃装置101は、従来のものに比べて省電力にすることができる。そして、前記電動送風機107が作動することによって発生した気流F’は、前記導風路122を経由して、前記霧化室110内に流入する。そして、前記気流F’によって、前記ミストM’は、前記ミスト通路108に送られる。そして、前記ミスト通路108に送られた前記ミストM’は、前記拭部材103のミスト通路138を経て前記ミストノズル137へ送られ、このミストノズル137から前記被清掃面S’に吹き付けられる。また、前記ミストM’の発生によって、前記貯水部111内の水が減ることになるが、この水の減少分は、前記水タンク109から前記貯水部111に供給される。 Then, the user operates the operation unit 151 after gripping the grip unit 148 and swinging the operation arm unit 104 about the axis line X1 to arbitrarily tilt it. Thus, by operating the operation unit 151 to turn on the switch 150, the control circuit 130B converts the electric power converted by the AC-DC conversion circuit 130A into the electric blower 107 and the ultrasonic wave. This is supplied to the vibrator 113. As described above, when electric power is supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator 113, the ultrasonic vibrator 113 vibrates at the frequency of the ultrasonic band, and atomizes the water W 'in the water storage section 111. In this way, mist M 'is generated. In addition, the operation sound of the electric blower 107 and the ultrasonic vibrator 113 is quieter than that of the steam generator used in the conventional cleaning device. Therefore, the cleaning device 101 of the present application can be made quieter than the conventional one. Further, since the mist M ′ is generated immediately by applying ultrasonic vibration to the water W ′ in the water storage unit 111, the cleaning device 101 of the present application turns on the switch 150 to turn on the mist M ′. Can be generated promptly. Therefore, the cleaning device 101 of the present application can be put into a usable state in a shorter time than the conventional one. Furthermore, the ultrasonic transducer 113 consumes less power than a steam generator (ie, a heater) used in a conventional cleaning device. Therefore, the cleaning device 101 of the present application can save power compared to the conventional one. The air flow F ′ generated by the operation of the electric blower 107 flows into the atomization chamber 110 via the air guide path 122. Then, the mist M ′ is sent to the mist passage 108 by the air flow F ′. Then, the mist M ′ sent to the mist passage 108 is sent to the mist nozzle 137 through the mist passage 138 of the wiping member 103, and is sprayed from the mist nozzle 137 to the surface to be cleaned S ′. Further, although the water in the water reservoir 111 is reduced due to the generation of the mist M ′, the reduced amount of water is supplied from the water tank 109 to the water reservoir 111.
 更に、前記ミストノズル137は、前記清掃装置101の使用時において、前記被清掃面S’に近接し続ける。そして、前述したように、前記ミストM’が前記被清掃面S’に吹き付けられることで、前記ミストM’は前記被清掃面S’を薄く濡らす。なお、前記ミストM’を送り出す気流F’は、前記電動送風機107が前記清掃装置101の外部から吸引した空気なので、前記清掃装置101の周囲の気温と殆ど同じ温度(即ち、周囲の空気と殆ど同じ密度)である。従って、前記気流F’は、前記ミストノズル137から噴出した後、上昇せず、前記被清掃面S’に沿って薄く広がる。このため、前記気流F’に乗った粒子状の前記ミストM’は、前記ミストノズル137から噴出した後、沈降しながら、前記被清掃面S’に沿って薄く広がる。このように、前記ミストM’が前記被清掃面S’に沿って薄く広がることで、前記ミストM’は、前記被清掃面S’上の塵埃に付着しやすい。従って、前記被清掃面S’上の塵埃は、前記ミストM’が付着することで、舞い上がりにくくなる。そして、前記ミストM’によって濡らされた前記被清掃面S’の汚れや塵埃は、使用者が前記操作腕部104の把持部148を把持して前記拭部材103を前記被清掃面S’に沿って動かすことで、前記拭部材103に取り付けられた前記シート152によって拭き取られる。このようにして、前記被清掃面S’は清掃される。なお、前記被清掃面S’上の水分は、前記シート152によって大部分が吸収されると共に、僅かに残った分も自然に蒸発する。 Further, the mist nozzle 137 continues to be close to the surface to be cleaned S ′ when the cleaning device 101 is used. As described above, when the mist M ′ is sprayed on the surface to be cleaned S ′, the mist M ′ wets the surface to be cleaned S ′ thinly. Note that the airflow F ′ that sends out the mist M ′ is air sucked from the outside of the cleaning device 101 by the electric blower 107, so that the temperature is almost the same as the ambient temperature of the cleaning device 101 (that is, almost the same as the ambient air). The same density). Therefore, the airflow F ′ does not rise after being ejected from the mist nozzle 137 and spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S ′. For this reason, the particulate mist M ′ riding on the air flow F ′ spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S ′ while sinking after being ejected from the mist nozzle 137. Thus, the mist M ′ spreads thinly along the surface to be cleaned S ′, so that the mist M ′ is likely to adhere to dust on the surface to be cleaned S ′. Accordingly, the dust on the surface to be cleaned S ′ is less likely to rise due to the mist M ′ adhering thereto. Then, the dirt and dust on the surface to be cleaned S ′ wetted by the mist M ′ causes the user to grip the grip portion 148 of the operation arm portion 104 so that the wiping member 103 becomes the surface to be cleaned S ′. By moving along, the sheet 152 attached to the wiping member 103 is wiped off. In this way, the surface to be cleaned S 'is cleaned. It should be noted that most of the moisture on the surface to be cleaned S ′ is absorbed by the sheet 152, and the remaining amount is naturally evaporated.
 なお、前記ミストM’は、比較的低温なので、被清掃面S’に塗布されたワックス等を意図せず融かしてしまうということがない。従って、前記ミストM’を被清掃面S’に吹き付ける本願の清掃装置101は、汚れや塵埃のみを除去することができる。また、本願の清掃装置101は、前記ミストM’が比較的低温なので、使用者や周りにいる者が火傷等をしないようにすることができる。 Note that since the mist M ′ is relatively low in temperature, the wax applied to the surface to be cleaned S ′ is not unintentionally melted. Therefore, the cleaning device 101 of the present application that blows the mist M ′ onto the surface to be cleaned S ′ can remove only dirt and dust. In addition, the cleaning device 101 of the present application can prevent the user and those around him from being burned because the mist M ′ is relatively low in temperature.
 なお、前述したように、前記車輪105及びシート152が被清掃面S’に接した状態では、前記本体102は前記被清掃面S’に対して直立した姿勢を保つ。そして、前記清掃装置101は、清掃中、常に前記車輪105及びシート152が被清掃面S’に接し続ける。従って、前記本体102は、清掃中、常に直立した姿勢を保ち続けることになる。このように、清掃中、前記本体102の被清掃面S’に対する姿勢がほぼ一定であることで、前記清掃装置101の使用中に前記本体102が傾くことがなく、振動中の前記超音波振動子113が空中に露出しないので、前記超音波振動子113を破損させにくくすることができる。 As described above, when the wheel 105 and the sheet 152 are in contact with the surface to be cleaned S ′, the main body 102 maintains an upright posture with respect to the surface to be cleaned S ′. The cleaning device 101 always keeps the wheel 105 and the sheet 152 in contact with the surface to be cleaned S ′ during cleaning. Therefore, the main body 102 always keeps an upright posture during cleaning. Thus, during cleaning, the posture of the main body 102 with respect to the surface to be cleaned S ′ is substantially constant, so that the main body 102 does not tilt during use of the cleaning device 101, and the ultrasonic vibration during vibration is generated. Since the child 113 is not exposed in the air, the ultrasonic transducer 113 can be made difficult to be damaged.
 また、前記車輪105の車軸の軸線X2と前記操作腕部104の揺動軸線X1とを同軸としたので、前記本体102及び拭部材103を前に押す場合と後に引く場合とで、これら本体102及び拭部材103に働く力は、慣性力以外は同じである。詳述すると、前記揺動軸線X1が車軸の軸線X2よりも高い位置にある場合、操作腕部によって本体と拭部材を前に押すと、車軸の軸線X2を中心に、本体及び拭部材が前方に倒れるような力が働く。逆に、操作腕部によって本体と拭部材を後に引くと、車軸の軸線X2を中心に、本体及び拭部材が後方に倒れるような力が働く。即ち、前記揺動軸線X1が車軸の軸線X2よりも高い位置にある場合、操作腕部によって本体と拭部材を前に押すと、前記拭部材が被清掃面S’に押し付けられるような力が働くと共に、操作腕部によって本体と拭部材を後に引くと、前記拭部材が被清掃面S’から離れるような力が働く。従って、このような構造では、本体と拭部材を前に押す場合と後に引く場合とで、前記拭部材の被清掃面S’への当接圧が変化することになる。これに対し、本実施形態の構造では、前記操作腕部104によって前記本体102及び拭部材103を前に押す場合も後に引く場合も、前記車輪105の車軸の軸線X2に力が加わるので、前記本体102及び拭部材103を押す力も引く力も、前記本体102及び拭部材103を傾斜させる力にはならない。また、通常の清掃で前記本体102及び拭部材103を動かす速度では、これらの本体102及び拭部材103に働く慣性力の影響は小さい。従って、前記本体102及び拭部材103を前に押しても後に引いても、前記拭部材103の被清掃面S’への当接圧が殆ど変わらないので、被清掃面S’を良好に清掃することができる。また、回動や揺動のための軸を複数設ける必要がなくなるので、前記清掃装置101の構造を単純且つ小型にすることができる。 Further, since the axis line X2 of the axle of the wheel 105 and the swing axis line X1 of the operation arm portion 104 are coaxial, the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 are pushed forward or pulled backward. The force acting on the wiping member 103 is the same except for the inertial force. More specifically, when the swing axis X1 is higher than the axis X2 of the axle, when the main body and the wiping member are pushed forward by the operating arm, the body and the wiping member are moved forward about the axis X2 of the axle. The power to fall down will work. On the other hand, when the main body and the wiping member are pulled later by the operating arm, a force is exerted so that the main body and the wiping member are tilted rearward about the axle axis X2. That is, when the swing axis X1 is at a position higher than the axis X2 of the axle, when the main body and the wiping member are pushed forward by the operating arm, a force is applied to press the wiping member against the surface S ′ to be cleaned. At the same time, when the main arm and the wiping member are pulled later by the operating arm, a force is exerted so that the wiping member is separated from the surface to be cleaned S ′. Therefore, in such a structure, the contact pressure of the wiping member to the surface to be cleaned S ′ varies depending on whether the main body and the wiping member are pushed forward or pulled backward. On the other hand, in the structure of the present embodiment, force is applied to the axis X2 of the axle of the wheel 105 both when the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 are pushed forward by the operating arm portion 104 and when pulled backward. Neither the pushing force nor the pulling force of the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 is the force for inclining the main body 102 and the wiping member 103. Further, at the speed at which the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 are moved by normal cleaning, the influence of the inertial force acting on the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 is small. Accordingly, even if the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 are pushed forward or pulled backward, the contact pressure of the wiping member 103 on the surface to be cleaned S ′ is hardly changed, so that the surface to be cleaned S ′ is cleaned well. be able to. Further, since there is no need to provide a plurality of shafts for turning and swinging, the structure of the cleaning device 101 can be made simple and small.
 以上のように、本発明の清掃装置101は、霧化装置106の超音波振動子113が発生させたミストM’を、電動送風機107が発生させた気流F’に乗せて送り出し、ミスト通路108を経由してミストノズル137から被清掃面S’に向けて噴出させることで被清掃面S’を濡らし、この被清掃面S’上の水分を拭部材103のシート152によって汚れや塵埃ごと拭き取ることで、被清掃面S’を拭き掃除することができるものである。そして、前記ミストM’のみならず、このミストM’を送り出すための気流F’の温度が比較的低温なので、被清掃面S’のワックス等を剥がしてしまわず、汚れや塵埃のみを除去することができ、また、前記気流F’及びこれに乗ったミストM’が、前記ミストノズル137から噴出された後で上昇せず、被清掃面S’上で薄く広がることで、被清掃面S’上の塵埃にミストM’を効果的に付着させ、清掃中に塵埃が舞い上がりにくくすることができ、更に、使用者や周りにいる者が火傷等をしないようにすることができるものである。また、前記霧化装置106が超音波振動子113を有することで、小電力で大量の前記ミストM’を発生させることができるばかりでなく、電力を供給してから短時間で前記ミストM’を発生させることができると共に、前記ミストM’の発生に伴う騒音を抑えることができるものである。更に、前記本体102が被清掃面S’に対し直立姿勢を保ち続けることで、使用中に前記本体102が傾くことがなく、振動中の前記超音波振動子113が空中に露出しないので、前記超音波振動子113を破損させにくくすることができるものである。 As described above, the cleaning device 101 of the present invention sends the mist M ′ generated by the ultrasonic vibrator 113 of the atomizing device 106 on the air flow F ′ generated by the electric blower 107 and sends it out. The surface to be cleaned S ′ is wetted by being ejected from the mist nozzle 137 toward the surface to be cleaned S ′ via the mist nozzle, and the moisture on the surface to be cleaned S ′ is wiped off together with dirt and dust by the sheet 152 of the wiping member 103. Thus, the surface to be cleaned S ′ can be wiped and cleaned. Since the temperature of not only the mist M ′ but also the air flow F ′ for sending out the mist M ′ is relatively low, the wax or the like on the surface to be cleaned S ′ is not peeled off, and only dirt and dust are removed. Further, the airflow F ′ and the mist M ′ riding on the airflow F ′ do not rise after being ejected from the mist nozzle 137 and spread thinly on the surface to be cleaned S ′. 'Mist M' is effectively attached to the dust on the top, making it difficult for dust to rise during cleaning, and preventing the user and those around them from getting burned. . In addition, since the atomizing device 106 includes the ultrasonic vibrator 113, not only can a large amount of the mist M ′ be generated with a small electric power, but also the mist M ′ can be generated in a short time after the power is supplied. As well as noise caused by the generation of the mist M ′. Furthermore, since the main body 102 keeps an upright posture with respect to the surface to be cleaned S ′, the main body 102 does not tilt during use, and the vibrating ultrasonic transducer 113 is not exposed to the air. The ultrasonic vibrator 113 can be made difficult to be damaged.
 また、本発明の清掃装置101は、前記車輪105の車軸の軸線X2と前記操作腕部104の揺動軸線X1とを同軸としたことで、前記本体102及び拭部材103を前に押す場合も後に引く場合も、前記拭部材103の被清掃面S’への当接圧が殆ど変わらないので、良好に被清掃面S’を清掃することができるばかりでなく、軸を複数設ける必要がなくなるので、構造を単純且つ小型にすることができるものである。 Further, the cleaning device 101 of the present invention may push the main body 102 and the wiping member 103 forward by setting the axis X2 of the axle of the wheel 105 and the swing axis X1 of the operating arm 104 to be coaxial. Even when pulled later, since the contact pressure of the wiping member 103 to the surface to be cleaned S ′ hardly changes, not only can the surface to be cleaned S ′ be cleaned well, but there is no need to provide a plurality of shafts. Therefore, the structure can be made simple and small.

Since the contact pressure of the wiping member 103 to the surface to be cleaned S ′ is almost the same regardless of whether it is pushed forward or backward, the surface to be cleaned S ′ can be cleaned well and the rotation shaft In addition, since there is no need to provide a plurality of swing shafts, the structure can be made simple and small.
