Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor care work disc that can be brought into the clip holder for the drive plate of a floor care device and has clip tongue passage windows and an adjacent support surface that allows a wobbling movement between the drive plate and the floor care work plate.
  • the wobble movement which can also be called limited tipping clearance, brings the individual adjustment of the floor care work disc or discs to the unevenness of the floor to be maintained, such as the parquet, which can never be completely ruled out.
  • the floor care work disc has its wobble support on the drive side, with support projections being provided in the vicinity of the periphery of the work disc which, in extreme tilt positions for the work disc, act against the downward-facing plate bottom of the drive actuator in a tilt-limiting manner. As a rule, however, the wobble support is in the center.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a clip holder which is more favorable in terms of assignment, which brings about a wobble support which is less stressful for the clip means and, moreover, leave the center free for another measure which is advantageous in terms of use.
  • the floor care device G which is designed as a polishing machine or a so-called polishing machine, has three drive actuators 1 which are driven together.
  • the individual drive actuators 1 can each be assigned a working disk 4 by means of the clip connection. It is a reversible clip connection. Part of the same are outgoing clip tongues 5 directed downward from the working disk 4.
  • the clip tongues 5 extend concentrically around the vertical axis of rotation x-x of the drive actuator 1. A total of 3 equally spaced clip tongues 5 are provided.
  • the clip tongues 5 engage in passage windows 6 of the floor care work pane 4, which windows have the corresponding clip tongue counter surface 7.
  • each has a horizontally oriented annular shoulder in which there is a passage window that is open toward the center of the working disk 4, which is covered on the underside with a felt ring 8 or brush body.
  • All passage windows 6 lie in a spherical segment-shaped concave indentation I.
  • a centrally located, contour-corresponding convex projection II of the drive actuator 1 engages like a ball socket, but with slight axial play.
  • the retraction I thus forms a support surface 9 for the drive actuator 1, which permits a limited wobbling movement between the drive actuator 1 and the floor care work disk 4.
  • the support surface 9 lies on the outside of the annularly arranged clip tongue passage window 6, mainly formed by a ring 10 lying concentrically to the axis of rotation x-x.
  • the top of the ring naturally has the described spherical surface profile.
  • the ring 10 is part of an axially oriented ring wall 11.
  • the head of the ring wall is wider than the central region of the ring wall 11 due to the shaping of the clip tongue counter surface 7 already described. Due to the peripherally increasing concave curvature of the support surface 9 or the ring 10 there is a larger one Contact area than the wall thickness measured horizontally in the area of the head.
  • the section of the projection II which interacts directly with the support surface 9, that is to say the surface region lying in front of the outwardly directed clip lugs 5 ', is designated by 12.
  • the ring 10 encloses the numerous, uniform passage windows 6.
  • the passage windows 6 are divided by radially directed spokes 13.
  • the latter are rooted like a gusset plate in a central, horizontal ring plate 14. This practically closes off the bottom of the recess I.
  • the hole in the ring plate 14 bears the reference number 15. A total of nine memories 13 distributed at equal angles are realized.
  • the ring 10 of the retraction I forming the upper edge of a basket-like structure is then connected to the rotationally symmetrical body of the working disk 4 via radially oriented webs 16.
  • a total of six webs 16 arranged at equal angles are realized.
  • the ring plate 14 bounces back slightly in relation to the top of the spokes 13 which are oriented in the form of spherical sections.
  • the webs 16 bridge an opening 17 of the working disk 4 which is concentric to the ring 10 and which continues in an upwardly directed collar 18 in the connection area of the said recess I.
  • This is ring-shaped and protrudes from the ceiling 19 of a truncated cone-shaped indentation 20, from the base of which a horizontally oriented support and fastening section 21 for the care trimmings extends. On the underside of the felt ring 8 or the like sits.
  • the support fingers 22 cooperate with a horizontal inner surface 1 'of the drive actuator 1 near the edge. A total of four such support fingers 22 are realized, namely at an angular circumferential distance.
  • the support fingers 22 are provided with a circumferential, stiffening the support and fastening section 21 vertical ring wall 24 connected to each other and also stiffened by radial struts 25 on the inside.
  • the ring wall 11 is thickened again. This thickening bears the reference numeral 26.
  • the thickening 26 together with the ring wall 11 represents an angle profile in which the correspondingly widened webs 16 are rooted and thus stiffen the ring wall 11.
  • drive actuator 1 selected in the exemplary embodiment and the projection II carrying the clip tongues 5 are explained in detail below.
  • a spherical segment-shaped body on the spherically curved surface area 12 of which there is a cylindrical edge wall 27. The latter sits on the flat plate base of the actuator plate 1.
  • the capsule-like projection II is tied in the plate base via locking lugs 28.
  • the associated latching counter surfaces have the reference number 29.
  • an adhesive connection can be used.
  • the downwardly curved projection II extends like a dome to a central hub 30 of the drive actuator 1, which advantageously has an injected metal lining in the form of a sleeve 31.
  • a total of three locking lugs 28 are realized, which are opposed by twice the number of locking counter-surfaces 29 on the drive side. These are window-shaped cutouts which, somewhat recessed, form the aforementioned locking counter-surfaces 29.
  • the dome-shaped or capsule-shaped projection II has a concentric ring wall 32 on the inside. This gives the rotationally symmetrical Injection molded a circumferential U-profile with a U-opening on the device side.
  • the clip tongues 5 are cut free from this wall in the opposite direction, with their clip lugs 5 'projecting clearly beyond the outer surface of the projection 11.
  • the three clip tongues 5 are connected to one another in their back by radial webs or prongs 33 of a spoke star 34.
  • the spoke star 34 extends in a plane parallel to the plane of the drive actuator 1.
  • the spoke star 34 can be bent centrally. Reference is made to the illustration in FIG. 7.
  • the deflection lies in the direction of the device G. In this direction, a slight pre-bend can be used as the basic position, so that with a radially resilient evasion of the clip tongues 5, for example during plug-in assembly, the center of the spoke star 34 dodges into the area in which a space 35 that can be used for this lies, that is, inside the Dome-shaped projection II.
  • the spoke star 34 thus forms a rear support that supports the stability of the clip tongues 5 and at the same time a central control handle for uncoupling clip holders that are set too tight, which tight adjustment is in the sense of the functional assignment of the working disc 4 on the drive turntable 1.
  • the floor care working disc 4 has the above-mentioned hole 15, which is located directly below the center of the spoke star 34, centrally to the annular support surface 9.
  • a tool that is available everywhere namely a screwdriver, a nail or other elongated body of this type can serve as a decoupling aid.
  • the center of the spoke star 34 can become one Node plate 36 may be enlarged, possibly even with a recess on the hole side, for the purpose of centering the tool 37 used, shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 11.
  • the stub bearing the working disc 4 is not shown in the drawings; it engages in the sleeve 31.
  • each drive actuator 1 carries a circumferential friction lining 38.
  • the three working disks 1 shown in FIG. 2 assume a spatial position relative to one another which enables their central drive.
  • the clip assignment like the removal of the working disk 4, is facilitated by oblique clip and ramp edges of the clip tongue heads 5.
