Fig. 1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen von Wischtüchern und/oder Wischbezügen und/oder Wischmopps und/oder Wischplatten und/oder Wischgeräten mit einer Schleudervorrichtung 3. Die Schleudervorrichtung 3 weist eine Aufnahme 5 in die zumindest ein Wischtuch und/oder ein Wischbezug und/oder ein Wischmopp und/oder ein Wischgerät und/oder eine Wischplatte einführbar ist, auf. Die Aufnahme 5 ist als schüsselförmiges, drehbar gelagertes Sieb 7 ausgebildet. Die Aufnahme 5 ist in einem Gehäuse 9 angeordnet und dort auf einem zentral am Boden 13 des Gehäuses 9 angeordneten Dorn 11 drehbar gelagert. Das Gehäuse 9 ist auf einen Behälter 15 aufgesetzt in dem sich eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit 17 befindet. Der Boden 13 des Gehäuses 9 ist teilweise als weiteres Sieb 19 ausgebildet durch das ausgeschleuderte Flüssigkeit 17 in den Behälter 15 abfließen kann. In dem Behälter 15 ist ein Trennsieb 21 zum Zurückhalten ausgeschleuderter Schmutzpartikel vorgesehen. Der Behälter 9 weist eine ebenfalls als Sieb ausgebildete umlaufende Nut 45 zum Auffangen und Aussortieren von Schmutzpartikeln auf. Fig. 1 shows a device 1 for drying wipes and / or mop covers and / or mops and / or mop plates and / or wipers with a spinner 3. The spinner 3 has a receptacle 5 in the at least one wipe and / or a mop cover and / or a Mop and / or a wiper device and / or a mop plate is inserted, on. The receptacle 5 is formed as a bowl-shaped, rotatably mounted sieve 7. The receptacle 5 is arranged in a housing 9 and there rotatably mounted on a centrally disposed on the bottom 13 of the housing 9 mandrel 11. The housing 9 is placed on a container 15 in which a cleaning liquid 17 is located. The bottom 13 of the housing 9 is partially formed as a further sieve 19 by the centrifuged liquid 17 can flow into the container 15. In the container 15, a separation screen 21 is provided for retaining ejected-out dirt particles. The container 9 has a likewise formed as a sieve circumferential groove 45 for collecting and sorting out dirt particles.

Die Vorrichtung 1 weist einen das Gehäuse 9 teilweise abdeckenden Deckel 25 mit einer Öffnung 27 auf, durch die ein Wischkopf 29 in das um die Drehachse 23 drehbar gelagerte Sieb 7 einführbar ist. Der Wischkopf 29 ist Teil eines Wischgerätes 31, das einen Stiel 33 und ein Drehgelenk 35 aufweist. Das Drehgelenk 35 ermöglicht eine Drehung des Wischkopfes 29 um die Mittelachse des Stiels 33. Zum leichteren Einführen des Wischkopfs 29 ist ein Einführschacht 37 vorgesehen, der von dem Deckel 25 getragen ist.The device 1 has a cover 9 partially covering the cover 25 with an opening 27, through which a mop head 29 in the about the rotation axis 23 rotatably mounted sieve 7 is inserted. The wiper head 29 is part of a wiper device 31, which has a handle 33 and a pivot 35. The pivot 35 allows rotation of the wiper head 29 about the central axis of the stem 33. For ease of insertion of the wiper head 29, an insertion shaft 37 is provided, which is supported by the cover 25.

Die Antriebskraft zum Ausschleudern ist über das Wischgerät 31, insbesondere den Stiel 33, auf die Schleudervorrichtung 3 übertragbar. Das Wischgerät 31 ist mechanisch zum Übertragen der Antriebskräfte mit der Vorrichtung zum Trocknen 3 verkoppelbar. Mit Hilfe einer Antriebsvorrichtung 39, die als Brummkreiselantrieb 41 ausgestaltet ist, kann der Benutzer durch eine Auf- und Ab-Bewegung des Stiels 33 den Wischkopfes 29 in Drehung versetzen. Die Fransen 43 des Wischkopfes 29 versetzen, da sie - nicht zuletzt durch die Zentrifugalkraft - innen das drehbar gelagerte Sieb 7 berühren, das Sieb 7 ebenfalls in Rotation. Die Antriebsvorrichtung 39 ist zwischen dem Stiel 33 und dem Wischkopf 29 angeordnet.The driving force for ejection is on the wiper device 31, in particular the handle 33, transferable to the spinner 3. The wiper device 31 can be mechanically coupled to transfer the driving forces with the device 3 for drying. With the aid of a drive device 39, which is designed as Brummkreiselantrieb 41, the user can by an up and Ab movement of the stem 33 the wiping head 29 in rotation. The fringes 43 of the mop head 29 offset because they - not least by the centrifugal force - inside touch the rotatably mounted sieve 7, the sieve 7 also in rotation. The drive device 39 is arranged between the handle 33 and the mop head 29.

Zum Ausspülen oder Wässern des Wischkopf 29 kann der vordere, nicht abgedeckte Teil 47 des Behälters 15 verwendet werden.For rinsing or washing the wiper head 29, the front uncovered part 47 of the container 15 can be used.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine andere Ausführung eines Wischgerätes 31 mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung 39. Das Wischgerät 31 weist einen als Wischmopp ausgebildeten Wischkopf 29 auf, der mit einer Vielzahl von Fransen 43 bestückt ist. Die Fransen 43 sind an einem scheibenförmigen Halter 49 angeordnet. Das Wischgerät 31 weist einen Stiel 51 auf, der die Spindel 53 eines Spindelantriebs 55 trägt. Der Spindelantrieb 55 umfasst eine relativ zum Stiel 51 drehbar gelagerte Spindelmutter 57, die mit der Spindel 53 zum erzeugen einer Drehbewegung zusammen wirkt. Hierzu hält der Benutzer das Wischgerät 31 mit einer Hand an einer Handhabe 59, die an dem dem Wischkopf gegenüber liegenden Ende des Stiels 51 drehbar gelagert ist, fest und bewegt mit der anderen Hand die Spindelmutter 57 entlang der Längserstreckung des Stiels 51 auf und ab, so dass der Stiel 51 gemeinsam mit dem Wischkopf 29 in Drehung versetzt wird. Es ist ein nicht dargestellter Freilauf, der ein freies Drehen des Stiels 51 relativ zur Spindelmutter 57 in einer Drehrichtung erlaubt, so dass der Stiel 51 mit dem Wischkopf 29 eine Antriebskraft erfährt, wenn die Spindelmutter 57 in eine Richtung bewegt wird während bei der Bewegung der Spindelmutter 57 in die andere Richtung keine Kräfte auf Stiel 51 und Wischkopf 29 übertragen werden. Das Wischgerät weist eine weitere Handhabe 61 auf, die beim Wischen benutzt werden kann. Die Fransen 43 bestehen aus Streifen eines Vliesstoffes, sie können jedoch auch aus Fasern, Garnen oder dergleichen gebildet sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass das Wischgerät statt mit einem Wischmopp als Wischkopf mit einem Flachwischer, beispielsweise mit klappbaren Wischerplatten, ausgerüstet ist. Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39. The wiper device 31 has a mop head designed as a wiper 29, which is equipped with a plurality of fringes 43. The fringes 43 are arranged on a disc-shaped holder 49. The wiper device 31 has a handle 51, which carries the spindle 53 of a spindle drive 55. The spindle drive 55 comprises a rotatably mounted relative to the stem 51 spindle nut 57, which cooperates with the spindle 53 to generate a rotational movement. For this purpose, the user holds the wiper device 31 with one hand on a handle 59 which is rotatably mounted on the end of the handle 51 opposite the wiper head, fixed and moved with the other hand, the spindle nut 57 along the longitudinal extension of the handle 51 up and down, so that the handle 51 is rotated together with the mop head 29 in rotation. It is an unillustrated freewheel that allows free rotation of the stem 51 relative to the spindle nut 57 in a rotational direction, so that the stem 51 with the mop head 29 undergoes a driving force when the spindle nut 57 is moved in one direction while moving during the movement Spindle nut 57 in the other direction no forces on stem 51 and mop head 29 are transferred. The wiper has a further handle 61 which can be used when wiping. The fringes 43 are made of strips of non-woven fabric, but they may also be formed of fibers, yarns or the like. It is also possible that the wiper device is equipped with a flat wiper, for example with folding wiper plates, instead of with a mop as a mop head.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Spindelantrieb 55 des in Fig. 2 dargestellten Wischgerätes im Detail. Das Gewinde der Spindel 53 ist als mehrgängiges Bewegungsgewinde mit sehr hoher Steigung, vorzugsweise im Bereich von 0,5 cm bis 10 cm pro Umdrehung, insbesondere 1 cm bis 2 cm pro Umdrehung ausgerüstet, so dass durch die Linearbewegung der Spindelmutter 57 die Drehzahl der Spindel 53 und somit des Wischkopfes 29 entsprechend hoch ist, um Schmutzpartikel und Feuchtigkeit aus dem Wischkopf 29 auszuschleudern. Fig. 3 shows the spindle drive 55 of in Fig. 2 illustrated wiper device in detail. The thread of the spindle 53 is a multi-movement thread equipped with a very high pitch, preferably in the range of 0.5 cm to 10 cm per revolution, in particular 1 cm to 2 cm per revolution, so that by the linear movement of the spindle nut 57, the rotational speed of the spindle 53 and thus the wiper head 29 is correspondingly high to eject dirt particles and moisture from the mop head 29.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausführung eines Wischgerätes 31 mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung 39. Auch dieses Wischgerät 31 weist eine als Spindelantrieb 55 ausgeführte Antriebsvorrichtung 39 auf. Der Wischkopf 29 ist drehfest an einer Spindel 53 angeordnet, während an dem Stiel 51 - koaxial zu diesem - drehfest eine Spindelmutter 57 angeordnet ist. Oberhalb des Wischkopfes ist eine Drehhülse 63 relativ zur Spindel 53 um deren Längsachse drehbar gelagert. Zum Ausschleudern des Wischkopfes 29 wird das Wischgerät 31 in eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen derart eingehängt, dass die Drehhülse 63 des Wischgeräts 31 auf einem Auflager - beispielsweise einem Teil eines Einführschachtes - das Wischgerät abstützend aufliegt. Der Wischkopf ist hierdurch relativ zur Drehhülse 63 und damit relativ zum Auflager drehbar aufgehängt und kann beispielsweise in einen - vorzugsweise ein drehbares Sieb aufweisenden - Behälter ragen. Durch Herabdrücken des Stiels 51 auf die Drehhülse 63 zu, bewegt sich die Spindel 53 drehend in die Spindelmutter 57 hinein, so dass der mit der Spindel 53 verbundene Wischkopf 29 in Drehung versetz wird. Der Spindelantrieb 55 weist einen nicht dargestellten Freilauf auf, der es ermöglicht, weitgehend ohne Krafteinwirkung auf den Wischkopf 29 den Stiel 51 mit samt der Spindelmutter - vorzugsweise mit Federkraft - in entgegengesetzter Richtung - also von der Drehhülse 63 weg - zu bewegen. Anschließend kann der Wischkopf 29 durch zyklische Wiederholung dieses Vorganges weiter beschleunigt werden. Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39. This wiper device 31 has a designed as a spindle drive 55 drive device 39. The wiper head 29 is rotatably mounted on a spindle 53, while on the stem 51 - coaxial with this - rotatably a spindle nut 57 is arranged. Above the wiper head, a rotary sleeve 63 is rotatably mounted relative to the spindle 53 about its longitudinal axis. For ejecting the wiper head 29, the wiper device 31 is suspended in a device for drying such that the rotary sleeve 63 of the wiper device 31 rests on a support - for example, a part of an insertion shaft - supporting the wiper device. The mop head is thereby suspended relative to the rotary sleeve 63 and thus rotatable relative to the support and, for example, in a - preferably having a rotatable sieve - container protrude. By depressing the stem 51 toward the rotary sleeve 63, the spindle 53 rotatably moves into the spindle nut 57, so that the mop head 29 connected to the spindle 53 is set in rotation. The spindle drive 55 has a freewheel, not shown, which allows largely without force on the mop head 29, the stem 51 together with the spindle nut - preferably with spring force - in the opposite direction - ie away from the rotary sleeve 63 - to move. Subsequently, the wiper head 29 can be further accelerated by cyclic repetition of this process.

Fig. 5 zeigt den Spindelantrieb 55 des in Fig. 4 dargestellten Wischgerätes im Detail. Fig. 5 shows the spindle drive 55 of in Fig. 4 illustrated wiper device in detail.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine weitere Ausführung eines Wischgerätes 31 mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung 39. Das Wischgerät 31 weist einen Stiel 51 an dem eine Spindelmutter 57 drehfest angeordnet ist. Der Wischkopf 29, der als Flachwischkopf 65 ausgeführt ist, ist über ein Kardangelenk 67, das ein komfortableres Wischen ermöglicht, mit einer Spindel 53 verbunden. Um eine Auswechselbarkeit des Wischkopfes zu ermöglichen ist zwischen der Spindelbefestigung 69 und dem Wischkopf 29 eine Schraubverbindung 71 vorgesehen. Oberhalb des Wischkopfes ist eine Drehhülse 63 relativ zur Spindel 53 um deren Längsachse drehbar gelagert. Analog wie bei dem bezüglich Fig. 4 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel dient die Drehhülse zum Verkoppeln des Wischgerätes 31 mit einer Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen. Ebenso analog kann der Wischkopf 29 durch Bewegen des Stiels 51 in Richtung zur Drehhülse 63 in Drehung versetzt werden. Beim Herabdrücken des Stiels 51 wird die Feder 73 zusammengedrückt, die den Stiel 51 samt der Spindelmutter 57 wieder in die Ausgangsposition drückt, sobald der Benutzer diese Bewegung nach erfolgter Drehbeschleunigung des Wischkopfes 29 zulässt. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein nicht gezeigter Freilauf, der eine von der Drehbewegung unabhängige Rückkehr des Stiels 51 in die Ausgangslage erlaubt, vorgesehen. Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of a wiper device 31 with a drive device 39. The wiper device 31 has a handle 51 on which a spindle nut 57 is arranged rotationally fixed. The wiper head 29, which is designed as a flat wiping head 65, is connected via a universal joint 67, the one allows more comfortable wiping, connected to a spindle 53. In order to enable interchangeability of the mop head, a screw connection 71 is provided between the spindle attachment 69 and the mop head 29. Above the wiper head, a rotary sleeve 63 is rotatably mounted relative to the spindle 53 about its longitudinal axis. Analogous to the respect Fig. 4 described embodiment, the rotary sleeve is used for coupling the wiper device 31 with a device 1 for drying. Similarly, the wiper head 29 can be rotated by moving the handle 51 in the direction of the rotary sleeve 63 in rotation. When the handle 51 is pressed down, the spring 73 is compressed, which pushes the handle 51 together with the spindle nut 57 back into the starting position as soon as the user allows this movement after the spin head 29 has been rotationally accelerated. In this embodiment, a freewheel, not shown, which allows independent of the rotational movement of the stem 51 to the starting position is provided.

Der Wischkopf 29 weist eine klappbare Wischerplatte 75 mit zwei Plattenflügeln 77 auf. In der gezeigten Arbeitsstellung befinden sich die Plattenflügeln 77 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene und spannen einen an ihnen befestigten - nicht dargestellten - Wischbezug. Mit einer Lösevorrichtung 79 - in dieser Ausführung ein Fußpedal - kann die Arretierung gelöst werden, wodurch die Plattenflügeln 77 und der Wischbezug zur Durchführung eines Ausschleudervorganges frei herunterhängen.The mop head 29 has a hinged wiper plate 75 with two plate wings 77. In the working position shown, the plate wings 77 are in a common plane and clamp a mop cover attached to them - not shown. With a release device 79 - a foot pedal in this embodiment - the lock can be released, whereby the plate wings 77 and the mop cover hang freely to perform a Ausschleudervorganges.

Um den Spindelantrieb 55 während des Wischvorganges zu Verriegeln - ein Verdrehen von Wischkopf 29 relativ zum Stiel 51 ist beim Wischen sehr störend - ist eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 81 vorgesehen. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 81 weist eine relativ zur Längserstreckung des Stiels 51 verschiebbar angeordnete Glocke 83 auf, die an ihrem unteren Rand mit Rastnasen versehen ist. Die Glocke 83 ist drehfest und koaxial zum Stiel 51 angeordnet. Die Rastnasen greifen in der Verriegelungsstellung in Ausnehmungen der Spindelbefestigung 69 ein und verbinden dadurch den Wischkopf 29 und den Stiel 51 drehfest. Die Glocke 83 wird durch die Gewichtskraft in der Verriegelungsstellung gehalten. Zum Erreichen der Freigabestellung für den Ausschleudervorgang wir die Glocke 83 von dem Wischkopf 29 weg entlang des Stiels 51 verschoben bis die Verbindung der Rastnasen zu den Ausnehmungen gelöst ist. Zum Verschieben der Glocke ist an der Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen eine Auflagestufe vorgesehen, die die Glocke 83 beim Einführen des Wischgerätes 31 automatisch verschiebt und dadurch die Freigabestellung herstellt. Nach der Entnahme des Wischgerätes 31 aus der Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen fällt die Glocke automatisch in die Verriegelungsstellung, so dass der Stiel 51 dann relativ zum Wischkopf 29 drehfest arretiert ist.In order to lock the spindle drive 55 during the wiping process - a rotation of the wiper head 29 relative to the handle 51 is very disturbing during wiping - a locking device 81 is provided. The locking device 81 has a relative to the longitudinal extent of the handle 51 slidably mounted bell 83, which is provided at its lower edge with locking lugs. The bell 83 is rotationally fixed and arranged coaxially with the stem 51. The detents engage in the locking position in recesses of the spindle attachment 69 and thereby connect the mop head 29 and the handle 51 rotatably. The bell 83 is held in the locked position by the weight force. To reach the release position for the Ausschleudervorgang we moved the bell 83 away from the mop head 29 along the stem 51 until the connection of the detents is released to the recesses. To move the bell, a support step is provided on the device 1 for drying, which automatically displaces the bell 83 during insertion of the wiper device 31, thereby producing the release position. After removal of the wiper device 31 from the device 1 for drying, the bell automatically falls into the locking position, so that the handle 51 is then locked against rotation relative to the mop head 29.

Fig. 7 zeigt in einem Ausschnitt den Endbereich des in Fig. 2 dargestellten Wischgerätes 31 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht. Fig. 7 shows in a section the end of the in Fig. 2 illustrated wiper device 31 in a perspective view.

Fig. 8 zeigt den - besonders kompakten - Spindelantrieb 55 eines anderen Wischgerätes 31 in einer Explosionsdarstellung. In dieser Darstellung ist die Ausnehmung 85 der Spindelbefestigung 69, in die die - nicht zu sehende - Rastnase der Glocke 83 in der Wischstellung eingreift. Fig. 8 shows the - particularly compact - spindle drive 55 of another wiper device 31 in an exploded view. In this illustration, the recess 85 of the spindle attachment 69, in which engages the - not to be seen - latching nose of the bell 83 in the wiping position.

Fig. 9 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen eines Wischkopfes 29. Die Vorrichtung weist einen Behälter 15 auf, der eine Schleudervorrichtung 3 trägt. Die Schleudervorrichtung 3 weist ein Auflager 87 auf in das zum Ausschleudern eines Wischkopfes 29 ein Wischgerät 31 in die Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen derart einhängbar ist, dass die Drehhülse 63 des Wischgeräts 31 beispielsweise auf einem Teil eines Einführschachtes abstützend aufliegt und der Wischkopf hierdurch relativ zur Drehhülse 63 und damit relativ zum Auflager 87 drehbar aufgehängt ist. Der Wischkopf ragt hierbei in eine Aufnahme 5, die als drehbar gelagertes Sieb ausgeführt ist. Das Auflager 87 weist eine erste Auflagestufe 89 für die Drehhülse 63 eines Wischgerätes (siehe z.B. Fig. 4, 5 und 6) und eine zweite Auflagestufe 91 für die Glocke 83 eines Wischgerätes (siehe z.B. Fig. 4, 5 und 6) auf. Beim Einhängen des Wischgerätes 31 in das Auflager 87 kommt die Glocke 83 auf der zweiten Auflagestufe 91 zu liegen und wird dadurch relativ zum Stiel nach oben verschoben und die Stiel-Wischkopf-Drehverriegelung aufgehoben. Beim Herausnehmen des Wischgerätes fällt die Glocke 83 nach unten und stellt die Drehverriegelung wieder her. Fig. 9 shows a device 1 according to the invention for drying a mop head 29. The device has a container 15 which carries a spinner 3. The centrifugal device 3 has a support 87 into which a wiping device 29 can be suspended in the device 1 for drying out a wiping head 29 in such a way that the rotary sleeve 63 of the wiper device 31 rests supportingly on a part of an insertion shaft, for example, and the wiper head moves relative to the rotary sleeve 63 and thus relative to the support 87 is rotatably suspended. The mop head protrudes into a receptacle 5, which is designed as a rotatably mounted sieve. The support 87 has a first support step 89 for the rotary sleeve 63 of a wiper device (see eg Fig. 4, 5 and 6 ) and a second support step 91 for the bell 83 of a wiper device (see, eg Fig. 4, 5 and 6 ) on. When attaching the wiper device 31 in the support 87, the bell 83 comes to lie on the second support step 91 and is thereby moved relative to the handle up and repealed the handle-mopping rotary locking. When removing the wiper, the bell 83 falls down and restores the twist lock.

Fig. 10 zeigt die bereits in Fig. 9 dargestellte Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen in einer Schnittdarstellung. Das Sieb 7 ist auf einem Dorn drehbar gelagert und wird durch den in Drehung versetzten Wischkopf des Wischgerätes drehend angetrieben. Es kann natürlich auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Sieb direkt von einer Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben ist. Die dargestellte Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen ist besonders gut zum Trocknen von, mit einem Wischbezug versehenen Flachwischern - insbesondere mit klappbaren Wischflügeln - geeignet. Fig. 10 shows the already in Fig. 9 illustrated device 1 for drying in a sectional view. The screen 7 is rotatably mounted on a mandrel and is driven in rotation by the rotating mop head of the mop. Of course, it can also be provided that the screen is driven directly by a drive device. The illustrated apparatus 1 for drying is particularly suitable for drying flat wipers provided with a mop cover, in particular with folding mop wings.

Fig. 11 zeigt eine andere Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen eines Wischkopfes 29, die ein dreiarmiges Auflager 87 jeweils mit einer ersten Auflagestufe 89 für die Drehhülse 63 eines Wischgerätes (siehe z.B. Fig. 4, 5 und 6) und einer zweiten Auflagestufe 91 für die Glocke 83 eines Wischgerätes (siehe z.B. Fig. 4, 5 und 6) aufweist. Die dargestellte Vorrichtung 1 zum Trocknen ist besonders gut zum Trocknen von Wischköpfen in Form eines Wischmopps - beispielsweise eines Streifenwischmopps - geeignet. Fig. 11 shows another device 1 for drying a mop head 29, a three-arm bearing 87 each having a first support step 89 for the rotary sleeve 63 of a wiper device (see, eg Fig. 4, 5 and 6 ) and a second support step 91 for the bell 83 of a mop (see eg Fig. 4, 5 and 6 ) having. The illustrated device 1 for drying is particularly well suited for drying mop heads in the form of a mop - for example, a strip mop - suitable.
