Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning roller for floor cleaning machine with a cylindrical roller body having bearing elements for rotatably supporting the cleaning roller on the floor cleaning machine and the lateral surface of which is surrounded by a cleaning pad, which is rotatably connected to the roller body.
  • Such cleaning rollers are used in scrubbing, scouring and polishing machines in particular for cleaning a floor surface. They are known for example from DE 199 45 281 Al. Therein, a cleaning roller in the form of a polishing roller is proposed, wherein the cleaning pad forms a polishing material and is drawn up in the form of a hose onto the roller body. So that the rotational movement of the roller body is transmitted as possible without slippage on the cleaning pad, the tube is made of an elastically expandable and fixed due to restoring forces on the roller body material.
  • a cleaning roller is proposed in DE 103 24 107 A1, in which the roller body can be widened in the radial direction.
  • the roller body consists of several, relatively movable components to which the cleaning pad is mounted in the form of a tubular fabric.
  • the tubular design of the cleaning pad allows the user to replace the cleaning pad.
  • this requires a certain amount of craftsmanship friendliness.
  • the radial expandability of the roller body causes a structurally complex construction of the cleaning roller.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a cleaning roller of the type mentioned in such a way that it has a structurally simpler structure and can be manufactured with lower manufacturing costs.
  • the roller body and the cleaning pad form a common unit that can be easily replaced by the user.
  • the cleaning pad can be wound as an endless meter goods on the roll body and connected to this inseparable. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the cleaning roller and simplifies the structural design. The lower manufacturing costs make it possible to design the entire cleaning roller as an accessory of the floor cleaning machine, which can be replaced by the user if necessary, to use a cleaning roller, the cleaning pad is optimally adapted to a given cleaning task.
  • the cleaning pad Due to the permanent connection of the cleaning pad with the roller body detachable connecting elements can be omitted. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost and simplifies the assembly, but thereby the life of the cleaning roller can be increased because the number of moving parts can be reduced. It is advantageous if the cleaning pad surrounds the roller body in a helical line. This eliminates an extending in the axial direction of the cleaning roller seam of the cleaning pad. Such a seam is subject to a high load when using the cleaning roller, as frictional forces act perpendicular to the seam. Such frictional forces can be reduced by the helical arrangement of the cleaning pad. The helical arrangement also has the advantage that the edges between adjacent tracks of the cleaning pad have an axial directional component. This ensures that during the rotation of the cleaning roller about its longitudinal axis over its entire length, a uniform cleaning result can be achieved.
  • the cleaning pad is glued to the roll body.
  • This allows a surface definition of the cleaning pad on the roller body.
  • the cleaning pad is point or line connected to the roller body.
  • a planar fixing has the advantage that a rotationally fixed connection between the cleaning coating and the roller body can be reliably ensured without the cleaning coating being subject to high punctiform or linear loads which could result in damage to the cleaning coating.
  • a cleaning pad for example, a fabric, knitted fabric or fiber fabric can be used. It is particularly advantageous, however, if the cleaning pad forms a web. As a result, a particularly good cleaning result can be achieved.
  • the cleaning pad is made of a microfiber material. Such materials are particularly suitable for cleaning hard surfaces, in particular for cleaning tiled surfaces.
  • the roller body comprises a roller core, which is surrounded by a roller sleeve, wherein the roller core has the bearing elements and the roller sleeve forms the lateral surface of the roller body.
  • a roller sleeve Such a configuration has the advantage that for different floor cleaning machines cleaning rollers can be manufactured with identical roller core, which is then surrounded by a matched to the geometry of the respective floor cleaning machine roller sleeve.
  • the roller core comprises the bearing elements, with the aid of which the cleaning roller can be rotatably mounted on the floor cleaning machine.
  • the roller sleeve forms the lateral surface of the roller body, on which the cleaning pad is wound up in ribbon form.
  • the roll core is preferably made of a plastic material, for example polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) or a polyamide (PA) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) material.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PC polycarbonate
  • PA polyamide
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
  • the roller sleeve is made of a plastic material.
  • the roller sleeve is made of an ABS material or of a PA material.
  • a particularly cost-effective production of the cleaning roller according to the invention is characterized in that the roller core is encapsulated by the roller sleeve.
  • the roller core is made of a polypropylene material, which is encapsulated by a polyamide material, which forms the roller sleeve.
  • the roller sleeve may be made of an elastically deformable material, for example in the form of a foam sheath. This is for some cleaning applications of particular advantage, because the risk of damage to the floor to be cleaned surface is kept very low.
  • the roller sleeve forms a bonding agent between the roller core and the cleaning pad.
  • the roller sleeve consists of a material, on the one hand a non-detachable connection with the polypropylene material of the roll core and on the other hand using an adhesive and a non-detachable connection with the Cleaning surface allows.
  • the roller sleeve can be made for example of a PA material.
  • Figure 1 a perspective view of a cleaning roller
  • Figure 2 a side view of the cleaning roller in the direction of the arrow
  • a of Figure 1, and 3 shows a sectional view of the cleaning roller along the line 3-3
  • a cylindrical cleaning roller 10 is shown schematically with a central roller core 12 which is surrounded by a roller sleeve 14.
  • Roller core 12 and roller sleeve 14 together form a roller body 16 of the cleaning roller 10.
  • a belt-shaped cleaning pad in the form of a microfiber web 18 is wound helical line.
  • the cleaning roller 10 may be mounted in a conventional manner on a drive shaft of a floor cleaning machine, not shown in the drawing and rotated about its longitudinal axis 20 in rotation.
  • the rotary drive takes place by means of a known drive element of the floor cleaning machine, for example by means of an electric motor.
  • the electric motor can be coupled in the usual way via gear elements, in particular via a belt drive, with the cleaning roller.
  • the rotating cleaning roller 10 can be moved along a floor surface to be cleaned, and by means of the microfiber web 18, the bottom surface can be cleaned.
  • the roller core 12 For supporting the cleaning roller 10 on the floor cleaning machine, the roller core 12 comprises at a first end face 22 a ball bearing 24, and at the first end face 22 facing away from the second end face 25, the roller core 12 has a star-shaped recess 26 in which a compression spring 28 is held.
  • the roller core 12 immersed in the assembly of the cleaning roller 10 on the floor cleaning machine rotatably connected to the drive shaft driver associated positively, wherein the compression spring 28 is clamped between the driver and the bottom 30 of the recess 26.
  • the not shown in the drawing, complementary to star-shaped recess 26 configured driver allows a rotationally fixed connection of the roller core with the drive shaft of the floor cleaning machine, so that the cleaning roller 10 can be rotated in a simple manner.
  • the cylindrical roller core 12 is made of a plastic material, preferably made of a polypropylene material, and surrounded by the roller sleeve 14 designed as a hollow cylinder in the circumferential direction.
  • the latter is preferably made of a polyamide material and sprayed onto the roller core 12.
  • the outer side 32 of the roller sleeve 14 forms the lateral surface 34 of the roller body 16.
  • the microfiber web 18 is wound helically in the form of a band, with the interposition of an adhesive, which ensures a surface fixation of the microfiber web 18 on the lateral surface 34 ,
  • a rotationally fixed connection is made between the roller body 16 and the microfiber web 18, so that the rotational movement of the roller body 16 can be transmitted to the microfiber web 18 without slippage.
  • the entire roller body 16 of the cleaning roller 10 is made of plastic material. This allows a particularly cost-effective production.
  • the roller sleeve 14 in this case forms a bonding agent between the central roller core 12, which is made of a polypropylene material, and adhered to the roller sleeve 14 microfiber web 18.
  • the roller core 12 can be prepared in large quantities for a variety of floor cleaning machines. In order to adapt the cleaning roller 10 to the geometry of the floor cleaning machine used in each case, the roller core 12 is encapsulated by the roller sleeve 14, whose material thickness can be individually adapted to the respective floor cleaning machine. The user can replace the entire cleaning roller 10 in a simple manner.
  • roller body 16 For this purpose, he can remove the roller body 16 together with the glued microfiber web 18 of the floor cleaning machine and replace it with a new cleaning roller 10.
  • the roller body 16 forms in combination with the microfiber web 18 an easy to handle unit, so that the replacement of the cleaning roller 10 can be performed even by technically inexperienced users in a simple manner.
