Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hard surface cleaning device, in particular window wipers, with a suction head on which a flexible wiper lip is held, next to which there is at least one suction opening, with an outlet opening arranged on the suction head for a cleaning liquid with a supply for the cleaning liquid and with an actuating element for dispensing the cleaning liquid through the outlet opening.
  • Such a hard surface cleaning device is known, for example, from DE 41 25 866 C2.
  • cleaning liquid can be sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned via the outlet opening, then rubbed onto the surface with a wiping pad held on the suction head and finally wiped off again with the wiping lip, the wiped off liquid immediately in this case slit-shaped suction opening is sucked off.
  • the suction head is connected to a suction line, and the cleaning liquid for the outlet opening is brought to the suction head via this suction line and a separate line held on it. This is under pressure so that this pressurized cleaning liquid can be dispensed through the outlet opening by opening a valve.
  • This construction is relatively complex, in particular it is necessary to additionally provide a pressure source for the cleaning liquid on a device part which also receives a suction unit. In addition, complicated line connections have to be established.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in a hard surface cleaning device of the type described at the outset by arranging a storage container on the suction head for holding a supply of cleaning fluid.
  • a storage container on the suction head for holding a supply of cleaning fluid.
  • the storage container is an integral part of the suction head.
  • the suction head it is possible to integrate chambers in the suction head, for example by means of a double-walled design, which serve as storage containers.
  • the storage container is designed as a separate component and is connected to the suction head. This connection can in particular be detachable.
  • connection between the storage container and the suction head can be a snap-in or snap connection.
  • the storage container is arranged on the side of the suction head on which a suction connection emerges from it.
  • the suction head of such a wiping device will be T-shaped with a suction chamber which extends over the entire length of the wiper lip and from which a suction connection emerges in the center. If a storage container is attached to this side, the weight of the suction head is favorable, so that the pressure in the storage container can be increased by the pressure when cleaning the surface.
  • the storage container can at least partially surround the suction connection.
  • a solution in which the storage container has an opening through which the suction connection protrudes is particularly favorable. This also leads to a particularly favorable weight distribution, since the storage container can be distributed evenly over the suction head.
  • the storage container consists at least partially of transparent material, so that the user can recognize the degree of filling of the storage container at any time.
  • the storage container can have a filling opening through which it can be filled in a simple manner, for example by attaching a special cleaning liquid container which has a connection adapted to the filling opening. This enables leak-free filling.
  • a handle part which can be connected to the suction connection of the suction head has connections for a connection to the storage container and to the outlet opening and if the actuating element is arranged in the handle part. All of the parts necessary for the function of the cleaning liquid dispensing are thus accommodated in the suction head or in the subsequent handle part.
  • connections of the grip part to the suction connection of the suction head, to the storage container and to the outlet opening are designed as plug-in connections which are connected at the same time when the suction head and grip part are plugged together. During assembly, therefore, no particular care has to be taken with the connection of these flow connections, but these connections are made automatically when the two parts are plugged together.
  • the actuating element actuates a pump in the handle part.
  • This can be, for example act electric pump, the actuating element would then be designed as a switch.
  • a mechanical pump in particular a piston pump, which uses this movement to suck in cleaning liquid from the storage container and spray it under pressure through the outlet opening.
  • FIG. 1 a side view of the suction head of a hard surface cleaning device with a subsequent grip part in a partial longitudinal sectional view;
  • FIG. 2 a side view of a suction head with a storage container for cleaning liquid and detachably attached to it
  • FIG. 3 a view similar to FIG. 2 for a suction head with an integrated storage container for cleaning fluid.
  • the suction head shown in FIG. 1 comprises a flat, elongated suction chamber 1, on the front of which a gap-shaped suction opening 2 is arranged, which extends over the entire length of the suction chamber 1. From this suction opening 2 a protrudes inside the suction Mer 1 stored flexible wiper lip 3, which can be applied to a surface to be cleaned, so that liquid is stripped from this surface and suctioned through the suction opening 2.
  • the suction chamber 1 is connected on its underside to a central pipe socket 4, onto which a pipe piece 5 of a handle part 6 can be attached.
  • This pipe section 5 is connected to a suction line 7, which is connected to a suction unit via a flexible hose (not shown in the drawing). This allows air and liquid to be sucked out of the suction chamber 1, which are sucked in via the suction opening 2.
  • a wiping pad 8 which extends over the entire width and which can be used to distribute liquid under pressure on the surface to be cleaned and thus to clean the surface .
  • a line piece 9 is formed on a wall, which leads into a nozzle body 10 which radially emerges from the pipe socket 4 below the wiper pad 8, this nozzle body 10 thus forms an outlet opening for a cleaning liquid brought into the line piece 9, which can emerge from the nozzle body 10 in this way, on the same side on which the wiper pad 8 is also arranged.
  • FIG. 1 This is shown only schematically in FIG. 1, it can be actuated by a pivoting lever 14 which is pivotally mounted on the chamber 12 and against which a pushbutton 15 which is pivotably mounted on the outside of the handle part 6 rests.
  • a pivoting lever 14 which is pivotally mounted on the chamber 12 and against which a pushbutton 15 which is pivotably mounted on the outside of the handle part 6 rests.
  • the push button 15 By pressing the push button 15, the bell crank 14 is pivoted, and this in turn pushes in the piston of the piston pump 13, which is then pushed out again by spring force.
  • the piston pump 13 which is connected on the pressure side via the nipple 11 to the line piece 9, is connected on the suction side to a connecting sleeve 16 of the handle part 6, into which a nipple 17 is sealed and which, in turn, connects to a cleaning fluid reservoir 18 manufactures.
  • the cleaning liquid reservoir 18 surrounds the pipe socket 4 in an annular manner and extends parallel to the suction chamber 1 over the major part of its width.
  • the reservoir preferably consists of a transparent plastic material, so that the fill level is visible from the outside.
  • the storage container 18 has a filling opening 19, to which, for example, a storage bottle with a cleaning liquid can be tightly attached, through which a filling then takes place.
  • the storage container 18 can be detachably connected to the suction chamber 1, for example by means of an elastic catch connection or a snap connection, which are known per se to the person skilled in the art. It is also possible to permanently connect this storage container 18 to the suction chamber 1, for example to glue or weld it.
  • the detergent reservoir 18 is not designed as a separate component as in the embodiment in FIG. 2, but is integrated into the suction chamber 1, which has an intermediate wall 20 for this purpose, which holds the detergent reservoir 18 from the suction chamber 1 separates.
