Description

APPAREIL DE NETTOYAGE PAR DIFFUSION D'UN FLUIDE OU DE APPARATUS FOR CLEARING BY DIFFUSION OF A FLUID OR
VAPEUR STEAM
La présente invention a trait au domaine du nettoyage, et a plus particulièrement pour objet un appareil de nettoyage conçu pour l'aspiration, et apte à réaliser le nettoyage de surfaces au moyen d'un fluide et/ou de la vapeur, et aspirer le liquide résiduel. The present invention relates to the field of cleaning, and more particularly to a cleaning apparatus designed for suction, and capable of performing the cleaning of surfaces by means of a fluid and / or steam, and suck the residual liquid.
On connaît déjà de tels appareils de nettoyage, lesquels incorporent ou non des moyens de diffusion et/ou de projection d'un fluide et ou de la vapeur.  Such cleaning devices are already known, which incorporate or not means of diffusion and / or projection of a fluid and or steam.
De tels appareils peuvent consister, non limitativement , en des appareils de nettoyage de sol, ou en des appareils de nettoyage de parois de type raclette à vitre.  Such apparatuses may include, but are not limited to, floor cleaning apparatus, or window squeegee cleaning apparatus.
Dans le cas d'appareils de nettoyage du sol, le fluide, généralement de l'eau éventuellement additionnée d'un produit détergent, est souvent projeté sous pression directement sur la surface à nettoyer ou projeté sur un moyen de diffusion telle qu'une éponge ou une lingette, au travers de moyens intégrés à l'appareil, puis aspiré par une embouchure souvent constituée d'une fente disposée transversalement et garnie de joints. Dans le cas d'utilisation vapeur, celle-ci est de préférence projetée au travers d'une lingette constituant un moyen de diffusion.  In the case of soil cleaning apparatus, the fluid, generally water possibly containing a detergent product, is often thrown under pressure directly onto the surface to be cleaned or sprayed onto a diffusion means such as a sponge. or a wipe, through means integrated in the device, then sucked by a mouth often consists of a slot arranged transversely and lined with joints. In the case of steam use, it is preferably projected through a wipe constituting a diffusion means.
Le principal inconvénient de ces appareils consistent en ce que la lingette d'une part se charge en eau, ce qui nécessite parfois de l'essorer, et d'autre part se souille rapidement, ce qui nécessite son remplacement par une autre propre, ce qui est souvent difficile car les moyens permettant sa fixation peuvent être complexes. Dans le document EP 2 014 212, le problème du remplacement a été résolu en utilisant une lingette qui comprend deux couches superposées, dont celle en contact avec le support de lingette de l'appareil d'aspiration est étanche, tandis que ledit support est percé de trous, en sorte que la fixation de la lingette est réalisée par succion puisque l'air ne peut pas traverser cette couche étanche. Cependant, le remplacement de la lingette ne peut pas constituer une solution satisfaisante, et ne peut en aucun cas résoudre le problème de l'excédent de fluide dans la lingette . The main disadvantage of these devices is that the wipe on the one hand is loaded with water, which sometimes requires the wring, and secondly is quickly soiled, which requires its replacement by another clean, this which is often difficult because the means for fixing it can be complex. In the document EP 2,014,212, the problem of replacement has been solved by using a wipe which comprises two superimposed layers, one of which in contact with the wipe support of the suction apparatus is sealed, while said support is pierced. of holes, so that the fixing of the wipe is carried out by suction since the air can not pass through this waterproof layer. However, replacement of the wipe can not be a satisfactory solution, and can not in any case solve the problem of excess fluid in the wipe.
On connaît également par le document DE 297 04 742 U, un appareil de nettoyage, permettant de réaliser le nettoyage de surfaces planes au moyen d'un fluide, et dont la tête est équipée d'une lingette divisée en plusieurs zones au travers desquelles est réalisée la projection d'un fluide. Les différentes zones sont séparées par des canaux qui se rejoignent au centre de la tête où débouche l'extrémité d'un tuyau, dont l'autre extrémité peut être connectée à un moyen d'aspiration, en sorte que l'aspiration est réalisée entre les parties de lingette .  Also known from DE 297 04 742 U, a cleaning apparatus, for cleaning flat surfaces by means of a fluid, and whose head is equipped with a wipe divided into several areas through which is performed the projection of a fluid. The different zones are separated by channels which meet at the center of the head where the end of a pipe opens, the other end of which can be connected to a suction means, so that the suction is carried out between wipe parts.
Dans le cas d'une raclette à vitre, la paroi est préalablement mouillée soit par l'appareil s'il est adapté pour cela, soit par un autre moyen annexe, puis asséchée par une lame de raclage, tandis que le liquide résiduel est aspiré.  In the case of a window squeegee, the wall is pre-wetted either by the apparatus if it is adapted for this purpose or by another auxiliary means, then dried by a scraper blade, while the residual liquid is sucked up. .
Dans tous les cas, le résultat n'est pas optimum, en effet dans le cas du nettoyage du sol l'aspiration n'est jamais parfaite elle laisse des traces, et d'autres passages sont nécessaires, et dans le cas d'une vitre on observe souvent, malgré l'aspiration, un ruissellement du liquide résiduel.  In any case, the result is not optimal, indeed in the case of cleaning the floor the suction is never perfect it leaves traces, and other passages are necessary, and in the case of a glass is often observed, despite the suction, runoff residual liquid.
On notera que dans le cas particulier d'utilisation de la vapeur, il est nécessaire, dans un but d'efficacité, que la lingette reste chaude, ce qui ne peut être obtenu qu'au travers d'un débit important, ce qui accroît l'inconvénient précité.  Note that in the particular case of steam use, it is necessary for the purpose of efficiency, the wipe remains hot, which can be obtained only through a large flow, which increases the aforementioned drawback.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un appareil de nettoyage conçu pour l'aspiration, et apte à réaliser le nettoyage de surfaces au moyen d'un fluide et/ou de la vapeur, dont la conception permet de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités.  The present invention aims to provide a cleaning device designed for suction, and capable of performing the cleaning of surfaces by means of a fluid and / or steam, the design of which overcomes the various aforementioned drawbacks.
L'appareil de nettoyage conçu pour l'aspiration, et apte à réaliser le nettoyage de surfaces au moyen d'un fluide et/ou de vapeur selon l'invention, est de type comprenant d'une part des moyens de création d'une aspiration ou des moyens de connexion à des moyens de création d'une aspiration, et d'autre part une lingette remplaçable, constituant un moyen de nettoyage et de diffusion dudit fluide et/ou de ladite vapeur, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte une pièce support de lingette contre la face extérieure de laquelle est assujettie, de manière réversible, ladite lingette, tandis que la face intérieure de ladite pièce support de lingette est soumise à une dépression générée par lesdits moyens de création d'une aspiration, et que des ouvertures sont pratiquées dans ladite pièce support, en sorte que ladite aspiration soit réalisée au travers de ladite lingette, en passant par lesdites ouvertures. The cleaning apparatus designed for suction, and suitable for cleaning surfaces with a fluid and / or steam according to the invention, is of the type comprising on the one hand means for creating a suction or means of connection to means for creating a suction, and secondly a replaceable wipe, constituting a cleaning means and diffusion of said fluid and / or said vapor, and it is characterized essentially that it comprises a wipe support piece against the outer face of which is reversibly secured, said wipe, while the inner face of said wipe support piece is subjected to a depression generated by said means for creating a suction, and that openings are made in said support piece, so that said suction is carried through said wipe, passing through said openings .
De manière avantageuse, la lingette, en plus de sa fonction de nettoyage, constitue un moyen de collecte du liquide résiduel, lequel liquide résiduel est ensuite aspiré, de manière à éviter un ruissellement .  Advantageously, the wipe, in addition to its cleaning function, is a means of collecting the residual liquid, which residual liquid is then sucked, so as to avoid runoff.
Les ouvertures permettent l'aspiration du liquide résiduel, et donc le vidage de la lingette. Les emplacements de ces ouvertures sont choisis en sorte qu'elles permettent essentiellement d'aspirer le liquide résiduel, et non le fluide et/ou la vapeur avant utilisation.  The openings allow the suction of the residual liquid, and thus the emptying of the wipe. The locations of these openings are chosen so that they essentially allow the residual liquid to be sucked up, and not the fluid and / or the steam before use.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, les ouvertures sont disposées sur une partie ou sur la totalité de la périphérie de la pièce support, au droit de la partie périphérique de la lingette.  According to an additional feature of the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, the openings are arranged on part or all of the periphery of the support piece, to the right of the peripheral portion of the wipe.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens incorporés de transport d'un fluide et/ou de vapeur munis en aval de moyens d'extraction de fluide et/ou de vapeur, disposés en périphérie de la lingette, extérieurement à celle- ci .  According to another additional feature of the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, it comprises built-in fluid and / or steam transport means provided downstream with fluid extraction means and / or steam, arranged in periphery of the wipe, externally thereto.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens incorporés de transport d'un fluide et/ou de vapeur munis en aval de moyens d'extraction de fluide et/ou de vapeur, disposés en périphérie de la lingette, intérieurement à celle- ci. Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens incorporés de transport d'un fluide et/ou de vapeur munis en aval de moyens d'extraction de fluide et/ou de vapeur, disposés derrière la lingette, en regard de la région médiane de celle-ci . According to another additional feature of the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, it comprises built-in fluid and / or steam transport means provided downstream with fluid extraction means and / or steam, arranged in periphery of the wipe, internally to it. According to another additional feature of the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, it comprises incorporated means for transporting a fluid and / or steam provided downstream of fluid extraction means and / or steam, arranged behind the wipe, facing the middle region thereof.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, la pièce support de la lingette consiste en une paroi d'une chambre connectée aux moyens de création d'une aspiration, qui génèrent une dépression dans ladite chambre .  According to another additional feature of the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, the support piece of the wipe consists of a wall of a chamber connected to the means for creating an aspiration, which generate a depression in said chamber.

Sur les figures 1, 2 et 3, on a représenté l'extrémité d'un appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, et notamment une lingette de nettoyage 1, une pièce support 2 destinée à recevoir la lingette 1, une buse 3 d'extraction d'un fluide et/ou de vapeur provenant d'un moyen de transport incorporé à l'appareil de nettoyage.  FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show the end of a cleaning apparatus according to the invention, and in particular a cleaning wipe 1, a support piece 2 intended to receive the wipe 1, a nozzle 3 of extracting a fluid and / or steam from a transport means incorporated in the cleaning apparatus.
De manière non limitative, la pièce support 2 est de forme rectangulaire, la lingette 1 peut lui être solidarisée de différentes façons, par des moyens de fixation tels que des éléments auto-agrippants, par coincement des bords des la lingette etc ... Selon l'invention, la pièce support 2 de lingette 1 est percée d'ouvertures 20 au travers desquelles est réalisée une aspiration, créée par des moyens d'aspiration, non visibles, que comporte l'appareil de nettoyage selon l'invention, ou bien connectable à cet appareil. In a nonlimiting manner, the support part 2 is rectangular in shape, the wipe 1 can be secured to it in different ways, by fastening means such as self-gripping elements, by wedging the edges of the wipe etc ... According to the invention, the support piece 2 of the wipe 1 is pierced with openings 20 through which an aspiration is created, created by suction means, not visible, that comprises the cleaning apparatus according to the invention, or well connectable to this device.
Les ouvertures 20 sont disposées préfèrentiellement en périphérie de la pièce support 2 , en regard de la périphérie de la lingette 1. Dans les modes de réalisation de la figure 1 et de la figure 2, les ouvertures 20 s'étendent le long de trois côtés de la pièce support 2, tandis que dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, elles s'étendent le long des quatre côtés .  The openings 20 are preferably disposed at the periphery of the support part 2, opposite the periphery of the wipe 1. In the embodiments of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the openings 20 extend along three sides. of the support part 2, while in the embodiment of Figure 3, they extend along the four sides.
Sur la figure 1, la buse 3 d'extraction s'étend le long de la pièce support 2, extérieurement à celui-ci, en regard du côté de la pièce support 2 non percé d'ouvertures 20. Ce côté est le bord frontal de 1 ' appareil . En pratique la buse 3 projette un fluide tel que de l'eau, et/ou de la vapeur, qui est absorbé par la lingette 1, qui sert au nettoyage, puis le liquide résiduel qui est aspiré au travers des ouvertures 20.  In Figure 1, the extraction nozzle 3 extends along the support part 2, externally thereto, facing the side of the support part 2 not pierced with openings 20. This side is the front edge of the apparatus. In practice the nozzle 3 projects a fluid such as water, and / or steam, which is absorbed by the wipe 1, which serves for cleaning, and then the residual liquid which is sucked through the openings 20.
Sur la figure 2, la buse 3 s'étend le long de la pièce support 2, intérieurement à celui-ci, en regard de la lingette 1 du côté de la pièce support 2 non percé d'ouvertures 20.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, le liquide résiduel, issu de l'opération de nettoiement, est piégé dans la lingette 1, et est aspiré directement dans celle-ci en sorte qu'il ne peut pas se répandre inopinément .  Whatever the embodiment, the residual liquid, resulting from the cleaning operation, is trapped in the wipe 1, and is sucked directly into it so that it can not spread unexpectedly.
De manière avantageuse, l'appareil selon l'invention peut comporter une lame de raclage 4, telle que représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, disposée le long de la buse 3, extérieurement à celle-ci . En référence maintenant à la figure 4, on peut voir que la pièce support 2 consiste en la paroi d'une chambre 21, reliée au travers d'un conduit 22 à un moyen d'aspiration, non représenté. Advantageously, the apparatus according to the invention may comprise a scraper blade 4, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, disposed along the nozzle 3, externally thereto. Referring now to Figure 4, it can be seen that the support part 2 consists of the wall of a chamber 21, connected through a conduit 22 to a suction means, not shown.
