Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic mopping machine for cleaning floor surfaces.

Traditionally, a ``zokin'' was attached to the tip of the long handle.
A so-called ``motsupu'' is commonly used for floor cleaning. When wiping the floor with water using this motsupu, a water tank is used to wash the motsupu's ``dishcloth.''
A wringer for draining water is required, and therefore an aquarium with a roller-type wringer has been proposed. However, when using a motsupu to clean the floor, each time you wash the dirt off the cloth, you have to put it in a water tank and squeeze out the water with a wringer, which is an extra hassle. I need time,
Work efficiency is very poor.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it involves the work of cleaning the floor surface with a motsupu ``dishcloth'', the work of washing the dirty ``dishcloth'' with water, and the subsequent work of squeezing it. The main purpose of this invention is to provide a new automatic mopping machine that automates all work and can easily replace the water in the aquarium and clean the inside of the aquarium.

In the automatic mopping machine according to the present invention, a water tank is provided in a box frame-shaped machine body with supporting wheels, and a part of the machine body passes through the water tank, and a part of the machine body is exposed along the opening bottom surface of the machine body. An endless belt-like motsu is provided, which is passed through a guide roller, and the water tank is provided to be able to move in and out of the machine body, and two guide rolls for guiding the endless belt-like mop in the water tank are arranged outside the machine body. The machine is configured so that it can be lifted freely above the water tank by operation from the ground, and an electric drive device for running the endless belt-like mop is provided in the necessary parts of the machine body, and inside the machine body,
A water squeezing device is provided for the endless belt-shaped mop coming out of the water tank, and a roller member is arranged in the water tank, which rotates in relation to the running motion of the endless belt-shaped mop and brushes the mop to remove dirt. It is characterized by its configuration.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on drawings showing an example of its implementation.

In the drawing, reference numeral 1 designates a machine body made in the shape of a box frame, and a support wheel consisting of the caster 2 and a rear caster 3 is provided at the bottom of the machine body, and the support rod 4 of the rear caster 3 is connected to a bearing fitting on the machine body side. The caster is inserted into and supported by the caster 5 so as to be freely raised and lowered, and its raised and lowered position is fixed by a set screw 6, so that the height position of the caster relative to the body can be freely adjusted. A hand handle 7 is attached to the rear of the fuselage.

A water tank 8 is housed inside the body 1 and can be taken out from the rear side. Further, an endless belt-like mop 9 is disposed within the body 1, with a portion passing through the water tank 8 and a portion extending exposed along the bottom surface of the front opening of the body. . 1

is a guide roller, and the roller 10 is connected to a motor 18 installed on the upper part of the machine body 1 by a belt 19, and works together with a pressing roller 20 to drive the endless belt-shaped mop 9.

Two rollers 1 that support the mop 9 in the water tank 8
1 and 12, both ends of which are supported by the tip of a bifurcated support plate 21, one end of a bolt 22 is fixed to the base end of the support plate 21, and the other end of the bolt 22 is attached to the fuselage 1 in the vertical direction. slit 23 made in
A flange piece 22a that projects outward from the bolt 22 and is integrally provided on the inner side of the fuselage is slidably engaged with a guide rail body 24 attached to the side surface of the fuselage.
By loosening a butterfly nut 25a screwed onto the bolt 22 via a washer 25 and lifting the bolt 22, the rollers 11 and 12 in the water tank can be taken out above the tank.

A pair of brushing rollers 26 and 27 are disposed in the water tank 8 at the portions that come into contact with the mop portion between the rollers 11 and 12, and both ends of their support shafts 28 and 29 are arranged in the water tank 8. It is rotatably supported on the side wall. The brushing roller 26, 2
Reference numeral 7 rotates in conjunction with the running motion of the endless belt-shaped mop 19, and is used to remove dirt from the mop.

A squeezing roll 30 is disposed in the upper part of the water tank 8 at a part facing the roller 13 via a supporter 31, and the mop part is elastically held between the rollers 13 and 30 by the action of a spring 32. is,
Excess water in the mop portion is squeezed out by the clamping action and dropped into the water tank 8.

To clean a floor surface with the automatic mopping machine configured as described above, as shown in FIG.
The mop between the rollers 14 and 15 should be in contact with the floor, while the power supply cord (not shown) of the motor 18 should be connected to an outlet in the room. 1
8, the endless belt-like mop 9 runs, and the part of the mop that has passed through the water tank 8 is squeezed by the squeezing roller 3.
0 and guide roller 13 to squeeze out excess moisture.
The floor surface is wiped with water by a mopping portion running between rollers 14 and 15 on the bottom side of the machine body.

The mop portion that has become dirty after wiping the floor with water passes through guide rollers 17 and 10 and is immersed in the water tank 8, where it is brushed by brushing rollers 26 and 27, and this action removes the dirt from the mop portion. washed away. Thereafter, excess water is squeezed out of the mop portion coming out of the water tank 8 by a squeezing roll 30.

Thus, according to the above-mentioned automatic motsup machine, by simply moving the wheeled machine onto the floor using the operating handle, the motsup can perform the wiping work with water, the work of putting the motsup in the water tank to wash away dirt, and the work of removing the motsup from the water tank. Since all the work including the squeezing work can be automated, the workability of floor cleaning with a mop can be greatly improved.

When replacing the dirty water in the water tank 8 with fresh water and removing the sediment in the tank, loosen the butterfly nut 25a on the side of the fuselage, lift the bolt 22 along the slit 23, and remove the water inside the tank. Take out the rollers 11 and 12 located outside the water tank. In this way, the water tank 8 can be pulled out from the machine body 1, making it easy to replace the water and remove the sediment.

When not cleaning the floor, as shown in Figure 5, by adjusting the mounting height of the rear wheels 3 and holding the machine 1 at a forward upward angle, the mop will not touch the floor. The aircraft can be moved.

As described above, according to the present invention, a water tank is provided in a box frame-shaped aircraft body with supporting wheels,
Inside the fuselage, an endless belt-like mop is provided, which is stretched through a guide roller so that a part of the mop passes through the water tank and a part of the mop passes exposed along the opening bottom of the machine body, and the water tank is connected to the fuselage body. Two rolls that can be moved in and out of the tank and guide the endless belt-shaped motsup in the water tank are configured so that they can be freely lifted above the tank by operation from outside the machine. An electric drive device for running the endless belt-shaped motsu is provided, and a water squeezing device for the endless belt-shaped motsu that comes out of the water tank is provided in the machine body, and a water squeezing device for the endless belt-like motsu that comes out of the water tank is provided in the water tank. Since it is equipped with a roller member that rotates in conjunction with the movement and brushes to remove dirt from the mop, an automatic mop machine that can greatly contribute to labor-saving floor cleaning work of wiping the floor surface with water with the mop is provided. It will be done.
