Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floor cleaning device for wet and dry cleaning with a mop holder, a mop holder removably mounted or attachable mop, a movably mounted on the mop holder handle for device management and at least one electrically operated vibration generator.
  • Such floor cleaning devices are used in particular for the care of hard floors, such as laminate, stone or vinyl floors. If coarse dirt accumulates on such floors, a corresponding effort of the person working with the corresponding floor cleaning appliance is required to remove the dirt. The dirt is easier to remove when the normal wiping movement of the respective floor cleaning device can be superimposed on an additional vibration. There have therefore been proposed in the prior art variants of floor cleaning devices that operate with an electrically operated vibrator.
  • a floor cleaning device with a vibrating head known.
  • a vibration unit is arranged in the head of the cleaning device, which is driven by an electric motor.
  • the head is given a substantially vertical vibration to improve the cleaning effect on a floor surface.
  • this is achieved by a set of windings contained in the motor surrounding a motor drive shaft coupled to a driven shaft.
  • the motor shaft is rotated. Since the shafts are coupled together by complementary flanges, the shafts rotate a common center line, the runs parallel to the floor.
  • the two complementary flanges of the driving and driven shafts together form an eccentric weight which is rotatable with the shafts to produce the desired vibrations.
  • the batteries used, motors and vibration units are mirror images of each other in a provided above the cleaning pad head housing housed.
  • the entire head assembly is thus relatively large and heavy.
  • the cleaning pad used must therefore be attached to the underside of the mop head by means of Velcro. A replacement of the cleaning pad must therefore be made manually.
  • the publication US 2007/0079470 A1 contains a cleaning device in the form of a highly complex device, which is based on a use of micro-energy generators to facilitate the mobility of the device by dispensing with electrical leads to the device, and is designed as a steam cleaner.
  • the cleaning device described does not use a mop for dirt pickup. Instead, the detached dirt should be absorbed.
  • the known cleaning device uses a cleaning head, on the underside of a vibrator is provided in the form of an ultrasonic plate.
  • the cleaning head or the provided thereon Ultrasonic plate acts directly on the floor to be cleaned, with the vibrations of the ultrasonic plate are directed towards the floor to be cleaned. It is intended that dirt is released by the ultrasonic plate.
  • the ultrasonic plate will also exert a kind of emery effect on the soil and damage delicate soil.
  • the present invention provides several variants which can be used individually or in combination with each other.
  • a floor cleaning device with a at least one underside, that is, on a side facing the floor to be cleaned in use of the floor cleaning device, a typically plate-shaped, folding or non-folding mop holder located on the mop holder easily replaceable or removable and attachable mop.
  • a mop is understood to mean a textile cover for the mop holder, it being possible for the textile cover to have fringes.
  • the mop may be a dry mop in use and / or a wet mop for wet applications.
  • the cleaning of the soil and the dirt pickup are realized with the mop and by its mechanical action on the ground.
  • the mop holder has no contact with the ground itself.
  • the above-mentioned generic floor cleaning appliance is designed such that at least one vibration generator is provided in and / or on the mop holder and the mop holder is coupled to the handle in such a way that the stem vibrates through the at least one vibration generator is offset.
  • the vibration generator provided in or on the mop holder does not serve as in the document DE 603 14 006 T2 , the issuing of vibrations to a mop holder housing or, as in the publication DE 44 26 852 A1 , The vibration distribution of pads or brushes, which are mounted on a bottom of vibration plates of a mounting or holding frame unit.
  • the vibration is registered primarily in the handle of the floor cleaning appliance.
  • the vibration transmission direction is thus exactly opposite to the vibration transmission direction in the prior art. So it is the stem in relation to the mop holder in movements.
  • the stem vibrations affect the wiping function of the floor cleaning device according to the invention. This means that the vibrations of the stem indirectly lead to a vibrating interaction between the mop and the floor to be cleaned and thus to an improved cleaning effect.
  • the vibrations are not transmitted from the vibrator directly on the mop holder and thus on the attached mop or directly on the mop. This reduces the mechanical load on the mop, in particular at the attachment points of the mop to the mop holder, so that the mop is held securely on the mop holder and is not released by the vibrations of this.
  • the generic floor cleaning device is designed in such a way that at least one vibration generator is provided in and / or on the stem and the mop holder is coupled to the stem in such a way that the vibrations generated by the at least one vibration generator in registered the mop holder.
  • the at least one vibration generator is either integrated in the stem or mounted on the stem.
  • a conventional, currently already commercially available mop holder can continue to be used, with only the previous stem would have to be replaced by a new, according to the invention equipped with at least one vibrator stalk.
  • the vibration can be transmitted from the stem directly or indirectly to the mop holder, whereby the mop holder is set into vibration with the mop provided thereon, which in turn results in an improved cleaning effect of the floor cleaning appliance according to the invention.
  • the generic floor cleaning device is designed such that at least one vibration generator is provided in and / or at a provided between the stem and the mop holder connector and the connector is coupled to the handle and / or mop holder such that the vibrations generated by the at least one vibrator are introduced into the stem and / or into the mop holder.
  • the vibration are first transmitted to the stem, wherein the vibrations of the stem are converted by appropriate stem handling in vibrations of the mop relative to the soil to be cleaned which results in an improved cleaning effect.
  • the vibration generated can be entered directly into the mop holder, which vibrates with the mop provided on the ground to be cleaned and thereby improves the cleaning effect of the floor cleaning appliance according to the invention.
  • both effects ie the imparting of vibrations to the stem as well as the imparting of vibrations to the mop holder, can be combined with one another by the insertion or attachment of the at least one vibration generator into or on the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece can be provided for this purpose as a kind of adapter between the handle and the mop holder, so that it is basically possible to use the handle and / or the mop holder of conventional, commercially available floor cleaning appliances, while only the connector between the handle and mop holder according to the invention, ie with at least one vibrator, is equip.
  • a generic floor cleaning device is modified so that it has at least one vibration generator in and / or on the mop holder and a plurality of leading through the mop holder, coupled to the mop or coupled vibration transmission elements.
  • the vibration is generated in and / or on the mop holder, but not coupled directly into the mop holder. Instead, the generated vibrations are transmitted through the vibration transmission elements passing through the mop holder transferred directly to the mop.
  • the at least one vibration generator has to apply only a low power, and nevertheless an improved cleaning effect is achieved compared to conventional cleaning devices.
  • the object of the invention is according to another aspect of the present invention by a floor cleaning device with a mop holder, a mop holder replaceably attached or attachable mop, a movably mounted on the mop holder handle for device management and at least one provided in and / or on the mop holder, electrically operated vibration generator, in which the at least one vibration generator is a linear vibration generating, motorless oscillator without imbalance.
  • This aspect of the invention provides at least one simple oscillator in and / or on the mop holder with which the mop holder and thus the mop mounted on the mop holder specifically a linear horizontal back and forth movement, ie forward and backward, and / or a linear, vertical up and down, so up and down, can perform.
  • These movements are purposeful executable and thus often quite sufficient to achieve over conventional cleaning equipment significantly improved cleaning result.
  • Due to the simplicity of this applicable, motorless oscillator the entire floor cleaning device can be made particularly small, lightweight and inexpensive. In addition, by not providing an imbalance is avoided that the floor cleaning device performs a non-symmetrical movement that could be uncomfortable by a user of the floor cleaning device.
  • the already existing mechanical cleaning performance of the mop is improved by the vibration generator.
  • the mechanical force exerted by a user of the floor cleaning appliance by moving the mop back and forth by means of the mop holder on the floor to be cleaned is supported by the vibrations of the vibration generator.
  • the at least one vibration generator comprises at least one motorless magnetic oscillator and / or at least one motorless piezoelectric actuator.
  • a magnetic transducer for example a vibrating armature drive are used.
  • Oscillators without motor so purely on electrical and / or magnetic excitation acting oscillator have the advantage that they can be made very light and small and consume little energy. Since, according to the invention, oscillations can already be produced with relatively low powers, with which a significant improvement in the cleaning effect can be achieved in the floor cleaning appliance, simple motorless magnetic vibrators and / or simple motorless piezoelectric actuators readily meet the vibration generation requirements of the invention. Since motorless magnetic vibrator and / or piezo actuators can be designed very small and with largely variable outer geometry, several such vibration generator can be provided distributed to the cleaning surface of the floor cleaning device according to the invention.
  • the at least one vibration generator comprises at least one electric motor with rotating imbalance.
  • rotating vibrations are generated which, alone or in combination with other vertical and / or horizontal vibrations generated by other vibrators on the floor cleaning appliance according to the invention, can be used to improve the soil cleaning effect.
  • the mop holder has at least one mop asphalt part which is movable independently of other areas of the mop holder and coupled to the at least one vibration generator.
  • the floor cleaning device according to the invention thus one or more Mopphaltermaschine the mop holder are designed to be movable and displaceable by the at least one vibration generator in vibration.
  • the mass to be moved by the at least one vibration generator is significantly reduced in comparison to a movement of the entire mop holder and thus the energy consumption of the floor cleaning appliance according to the invention.
  • the at least one mop-asphalt part coupled to the vibration generator can be specially designed in comparison with the other areas of the mop-holder.
  • at least one brush strip can be provided on a bottom side of the at least one mop asphalt part coupled to the vibration generator, which improves the cleaning performance of the floor cleaning appliance according to the invention when the mop asphalt part is set in vibration.
  • the proposed Embodiment in which not the entire mop holder, but only at least one Mopphalterteil is vibrated, also has the advantage that less vibrations are transmitted to the stem and thus more vibration power is converted into the cleaning effect of the floor cleaning device.
  • the mop holder is plate-shaped, that is formed with a height compared to its horizontal extent significantly reduced and a flat base.
  • the mop holder is well adapted to the typically flat design of the floors to be cleaned. It can be detected by the plate shape of the mop holder a suitable large area for cleaning.
