Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metering device for cleaning agents in commercial cleaning, in particular in the commercial cleaning of clean rooms.
  • Clean rooms of the industry are for example technical clean rooms of the semiconductor industry, microelectronics or, for example, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical clean rooms including the sterile areas for the production of sensitive medical technology and such clean rooms that require some security, but can not be assigned to the aforementioned. These include cleanrooms of the food industry, the cosmetics industry or medical technology. Affected are also rooms in hospitals.
  • the central part of the work processes of commercial cleaning is a cleaning cart carrying a cleaning cart, which is equipped with cleaning utensils, containers and devices in a modular manner, for example also with storage containers of cleaning fluids, of fresh and used cleaning textiles such as Moptuchern.
  • Fresh mops are usually kept either dry or with detergent wetted on a spacer to the container bottom in stock. In the latter case, such a container is often placed upside down before removal of the Moptücher contained in it in order to moisten again dry fallen Moptücher again.
  • the invention therefore has the task of specifying a cleanroom-suitable device for dosing cleaning agents.
  • a metering device for cleaning agent comprising a container for cleaning fluid and a detachably arranged on this dosing characterized in that the metering volume for engagement by a mop holder dimensioned engaging means and it is pivotable about a spaced apart from the engagement means pivot axis from a horizontal starting position is trained.
  • the pivoting out of the horizontal starting position out into the container and out of this also prevents with great advantage a straight-line acceleration of the cleaning liquid in the direction of the container and ensures the required clean work.
  • This effect is further improved by the fact that a mop holder can be used directly for pivoting, which, guided by a user, engages in the engagement means and moves the dosing volume around the pivot axis.
  • the user thus performs a movement with a continuous change in direction, so that little time for greater accelerations of the cleaning fluid remains and therefore can not occur.
  • the horizontal starting position furthermore requires an arrangement of the metering volume outside the liquid volume in the container, since only in this way can a pivoting movement lead to a filling of the metering volume.
  • the spatial position of the pivot axis to the container of the use of the Dosiervolumens is largely independent.
  • These in relation to Container fixed pivot axis is a structurally particularly simple solution to the problem and reduces the possibility of movement of Dosiervolumens on the necessary and desired pivotal movement, without requiring a further linear movement in the detergent volume.
  • the invention means that only the smallest, non-rotary movements of the pivot axis are permissible.
  • the pivotability intended according to the invention is particularly safe and repeatable, since it limits the possibilities of movement of the metering volume and thus prevents incorrect operation.
  • These guide means may be fixedly connected to the metering volume, but these may also be arranged without fixed connection to the metering volume.
  • the guide means according to the invention limit the movement of the dosing volume to a greater extent than do the walls of the container.
  • the embodiment according to which the guide means forming the pivot axis.
  • the dosing volume without any further constructive or functional task and can be kept structurally particularly simple.
  • the pivot axis can also be formed by a line or multiple point system of the guide means on the container, it is not necessarily a continuous axis, although this is preferred.
  • the engagement means are formed as one or more, closed or open pipe bracket.
  • Such engagement means are particularly easy by a mop holder by simply pushing it under the bracket and touching it from below with its mop holder top.
  • Open tubular bracket thereby allow with great advantage the closest possible approach of the mop holder to the metering device, an operator can therefore stand in very different orientations to the metering device and yet always operate equally well.
  • Several tubular brackets further increase this freedom.
  • the guide means are designed as a handle attached to the dosing volume, in particular as a, an edge of the container encompassing Umgriff are formed.
  • This embodiment represents a structurally particularly simple form of realization of pivot axis and pivotable dosing volume.
  • the Umgriffes Opposite the Umgriffes, with which the dosing volume is pivotally mounted on the container, there is the intervention, so that a user the mop holder only in the engagement and introduce This must lower the dosing into the container.
  • the pivot axis is formed by the more or less fixed Umgriff and is located above the edge, which is encompassed by the Umgriff.
  • the wraparound is provided at a distance from the metering volume in order to allow a certain movement in the horizontal direction between the metering volume and the container wall. As a result, the dosing volume can easily be moved from its horizontal starting position on the container into its movement positions and back again.
  • the guide means are formed as a guide frame arranged in the container, wherein the guide frame Abstellstoff for the dosing and / or Schwenkwinkelbegrenzungsstoff and / or Auflagerschwenkstoff for having the metering volume.
  • the guide frame has a horizontal support and a particular releasably secured, in use position vertically extending support element for the dosing, wherein the pivot axis is guided on the support element and wherein engaging means and dosing also directly or indirectly attached to the support member are.
  • the metering volume has a filling restriction, in particular filling restriction openings arranged in a side wall or a bottom wall of the metering volume, and / or the metering volume is designed as a rectangular tub detachably fastened to a tube frame, the same volume can always be scooped up with great advantage.
  • the lower edges of the Gregrenzungsö Maschinenen define the maximum in the dosing volume recordable volume of detergent.
  • several metering volumes of different sizes can also be provided per metering device, which differ from the bottom of the metering volume, above all due to the height of the lower edge of the fill boundary openings.
  • the invention also consists of the metering volume and the guide means alone, that is independent of a container.
  • the process object of the invention is in a method for dosing detergent on mop holder mounted Moptücher using a cleaning liquid containing container and arranged on this container, in a starting position horizontally oriented dosing with a Medbegrenzung and with a Intervention for a mop holder, solved by the following steps: a) pivoting the dosing volume about a pivot axis until immersion of the dosing volume in the detergent, whereby the dosing volume is filled, b) swinging back the dosing volume in the predominantly starting position while fixing this position, c) Immersion of the mop cover in the filled, in the initial position dosing volume.
  • step a) engaging the mop holder in the engagement before step a) engaging the mop holder in the engagement, during the steps a) and / or b) a Mophalterunterstützung the pivotal movement, after step b) fixing the end position and disengage the mop holder.
  • Fig. 1 shows a container 1 for cleaning fluid.
  • This container 1 is made of stainless steel and cleanroom suitable. It therefore has rounded corners, made with a larger radius, soft and smooth edges, preferably no welds or at best smooth, welded through welds, and easily accessible and cleanable edge seals while avoiding horizontal surfaces susceptible to microbial attack.
  • Such sterilizable / autoclavable containers are known and not necessarily part of the invention.
  • the container 1 is partially filled with detergent.
  • the dosing volume 2 is made of stainless steel and clean room suitable. It therefore has the characteristics described above and is also sterilizable / autoclavable.
  • the metering volume 2 is designed here as a rectangular tub 16, it could also have other geometric shapes. In its side wall 13 Rudbegrenzungsö Anlagen Maschinenbauen 14 are arranged, which define the scoopable detergent volume between its lower edge and the Dosiervolumenboden.
  • the metering volume 2 consists of the actual volume and a tube frame 15 made of a stainless steel round tube material, in which the volume is detachably suspended. The solubility serves for better cleanability.
  • a wrap 7 is formed, which surrounds the edge of the container 1.
  • the two support lines on the edge form a pivot axis 4. Good to see is a distance between the pivot axis 4 and the edge of the rectangular tub 16. This distance is available as a travel for the dosing 2 available.
  • This engagement means 3 consists of a tubular bracket 6 under which a not shown wings of a mop holder is inserted.
  • the tubular bracket 6 further has arms 17 which engage over the top of an inserted mop holder and thus improve its safety intervention.
  • On the left side of the tube frame 15 has an end 18, which also surrounds an edge of the container 2 and which by means of a curved course has a larger support surface than the wrapper 7 on the opposite side.
  • the end 18 is bent at an angle such that the throw-over is easily detachable, in particular at an obtuse angle with respect to the rest of the tube frame 15.
  • the inventive method runs in this embodiment as follows:
  • the dosing volume 2 is stored in the horizontal starting position at the upper edge of the container and is secured by the handle 7 and the opposite end 18 from accidental collapse.
  • the container contains a cleaning liquid.
  • a user now leads a wing of his mop-covered mop holder under the engagement means 3, which engages over the wing with his arms 17 and his cross tube bracket. With the help of the thus introduced mop holder, the user raises the metering volume 2 so far that the end 18 is free from the edge of the container 1.
  • the dosing volume 1 is now in a slightly inclined position, with the raised upper end and the lower end in the region of the Umgriffes 7.
  • the user now pushes the dosing volume 2 a little to the right, so that the Umgrif moves away from the edge of the container 1, or the Umgriff 7 facing edge 8 of the metering volume 2 moves toward the container wall. As a result, the end 18 enters the interior of the container 1.
  • the user can now lower the dosing volume 2 in the container interior and the now diagonally downwards dosing 2 with a Immerse the rectangular tub 16 in the cleaning fluid.
  • the other end of the rectangular tub 16 is still guided by the Umgriff 7 on the container 1, the two support lines of Umgriffrohres together form the pivot axis 4, around which the immersed end was pivoted by the user. Due to the oblique immersion, the dosing 2 fills with cleaning fluid.
  • the cleaning liquid When lifting the metering volume 2, the cleaning liquid is distributed in the previously non-wetted region of the metering volume 2 and passes through the Gregrenzungsö réelleen 14, back into the container interior.
  • the edge 8 is formed so high above the upper end of the Greetsö Maschinenen 14 that the moving cleaning liquid can not slosh over the same.
  • the exactly filled with a certain amount of detergent dosage 2 again in the horizontal starting position and places it on the edge. Then brings his mop holder disengaged and dives this in the filled with an exact amount of detergent dosing volume 2 a.
  • the invention agrees the amount of detergent scooped up on the Moptuch to be moistened, as well as the duration of moistening. It is therefore according to the invention to have different metering volumes and different humidification periods with different Moptüchern and therefore to keep the metering volumes 2 interchangeable.
  • Fig. 2 shows a more complex form of the guide means 5, which are located next to the engagement means 3 both on the dosing 2 itself as well as connectable to this in the container interior. Moreover, this embodiment is partially automated.
  • the metering volume 2 has on its underside a pivot axis 4 which passes through the guide means 5 attached to the metering volume 2.
  • the pivot axis 4 also passes through two mutually opposite Schwenkachsenarme 21 of further guide means 5, which form a kind of guide frame 9.
  • the pivot axis 4 is arranged eccentrically from the metering volume 2, so that one side of the here rectangular trough-shaped metering volume 2 is heavier than the lying on the other side of the pivot axis 4 side.
  • the guide means 5 are here in the first place a perforated base plate here with a frame, both preferably made of stainless steel, which is arranged stably in the container, not shown, and which is made immovable by also not shown spacers in the container These spacers can be attached to the filing means 10, in particular pluggable, guided and be adapted to the inner circumference of the container circumferential wire clip.
  • This frame has on its narrow sides storage means 10, each formed as a pipe bridge.
  • One of the storage means 10 is formed connected to a shelf pivoting means 12. This has a handle 19, to which a weight 20 is integrally formed.
  • the pivot axis 4 is formed bent on one side and forms here
  • the bent free end of the pivot axis 4 forms a finger 22 which dips into a guide 23.
  • the finger 22 is rotated until it comes out of engagement with the guide 23.
  • the pivot axis 4 can be pulled out on the finger 22 so that dosing volume 2 and remaining guide means 5 separate from each other. These can then be cleaned separately from each other in a simple manner.
  • a handle on the base plate is for easy removal of the remaining guide means 5 from the container 1 a handle on the base plate.
  • the method according to the invention proceeds as follows:
  • the dosing volume 2 is in a horizontal starting position, this time deposited on the two storage means 10 of the guide means 5 arranged in the container.
  • the metering volume 2 pivots gravity driven with this end about the pivot axis 4 down in the cleaning liquid.
  • the dosing volume 2 fills in the submerged area with cleaning liquid.
  • the operator then brings his mop holder with the engagement means 3 in engagement, for example, by pressing the Mophalterunterseite from above the pipe bracket 6.
  • the filled metering volume 2 is pivoted back into its horizontal starting position, the scooped detergent volume is distributed in the previously not wetted areas of the dosing 2. Due to the weight 20 pivots the weggeschwenkte shelf 10 back to its original position, snaps here and provides the Dosing 2 again a tray available. If necessary, a user supports this pivoting movement by tapping the handle 19. Subsequently, the user disengages his mop holder and dips it to moisten the Moptuches in the dosing 2, which at this time due to the leaked through the Medbegrenzungsö Maschinennnen 14 excess amount of detergent with a precisely defined and at rest detergent volume is filled.
  • the invention represents an extremely simple and permanently and permanently the correct and the same amount of detergent available device.
  • a guide frame 9 is formed as a substantially rectangular, in the case of use horizontally oriented in the container tube frame 15 on which then vertically extending, a planar rear wall portion 25 is arranged, which forms a support member 30.
  • This tubular frame 15 is rounded with low-injury corners so large that it, in use on a bottom wall of a container resting, there or hardly can slip, as it will abut practically immediately on one of the vertical container walls. He therefore forms a support 29 of the guide frame 9.
  • Either the tubular frame 15 itself or its rear wall portion 25 can also vertical bent spacers 26 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) exhibit.
  • the pivot axis 4 is releasably guided on the rear wall portion 25, it passes through the two opposite legs of the rear wall portion 25 and can be taken out laterally.
  • the tubular frame In the operating state, the tubular frame is in the container, so that then the pivot axis 4 can not slide out of the rear wall portion due to the spatial limitation by the container walls.
  • the metering volume 2 At the pivot axis 4, the metering volume 2 is arranged. This has at the inlet slope 31 a scoop edge 27, which facilitates the penetration of cleaning liquid into the metering volume 2 during pivoting under the liquid surface and prevents splashing. To facilitate the scoop edge 27 is shortened accordingly at the corners, as shown.
  • the inlet bevel 31 is bevelled in such an extent to the bottom surface 24 that it is parallel to the bottom of the container 1 at a maximum pivoting and preferably rests on this.
  • In the bottom surface 24 of the metering volume 2 Medburysö Maschinenen 14 are arranged. Different filling limits are achieved by differently long plugs 28, which, as shown, are held in stock on the metering volume 2 in retaining openings 32 and two of which are inserted in the operating state in the Gregrenzungsö Miltonen 14. These plugs 28 have a central coaxial through-opening and end at different heights above the bottom of the metering volume 2, resulting in different filling volumes due to the distance.
  • the metering volume 2 has adjacent to the pipe brackets 6 each have a slot 35 which is penetrated by a bent end of a lock 36.
  • the lock also passes through the two pipe bracket 6, as shown and located in the interior, attached to the dosing, in particular welded, nozzle, so that the pipe bracket 6 are detachably attached to the dosing 2.
  • the entire insert is removed from the container, the lock 36 brought by turning out of engagement with the slot 35, pulled out of the pipe clamps 6 and the latter separated from the dosing 2.
  • the support frame 9 and dosing 2 can be separated from each other, so that a user can easily and easily autoclave the few items.
  • Fig. 4 shows a sectional view of the embodiment according to FIG. 3 in the resting and scooping position. It can be seen how a pipe bracket 6 penetrates a wall of the metering volume 2 and is itself penetrated by the lock 36.
  • the metering volume 2 is in this embodiment against a spring force from its horizontal rest position pivoted into the Schöpflage and is swung back by the spring force in the rest position.
  • the spring force is chosen so high that it is not pivoted either due to the additional amount of cleaning in the filled metering nor by the force when moistening immersion of a mop cover in the metering volume from the rest position easily. However, it is not chosen so high that the pivoting takes place only with great effort or the return swinging into the rest position is too fast.
  • the spring 37 is arranged on the pivot axis 4, which passes through the eye of the spring 37.
  • it is provided to form the spring 37 as a helical spring and to guide on a socket.
  • the two free legs of the spring 37 are once on the dosing 2 and the other time on the support member 30 at.
  • the operation is carried out by an attached from above the pipe bracket 6 open or closed mop holder, with which the dosing volume is pivoted below the liquid surface. Due to the angle of the Auflageverehrrer 34 an open mop holder also remains open, it can be moved away during the filling of the metering volume for receiving a fresh Moptuches of the device according to the invention. After filling, erection in the rest position and draining the excess detergent from the rectangular tub 16, the freshly populated mop holder is brought over the metering volume 2, dipped into it and moistened. This allows a smooth, fluid workflow and increases productivity.
