Description

本発明は、走行しながらパッド及びブラシをモータによって高速回転することにより、床面の洗浄を行うことができる床面洗浄機の技術分野で利用されるものであって、具体的には、斯る床面洗浄機に使用して好適なパッドに関するものである。   The present invention is used in the technical field of a floor cleaning machine that can clean a floor by rotating a pad and a brush at high speed with a motor while traveling. The present invention relates to a pad suitable for use in a floor cleaning machine.

オフィスや空港ロビー等の床面を洗浄する床面洗浄機に用いるパッドの素材として、従来より、特許文献１に記載のスポンジや、特許文献２に記載のメラミンフォームが存在し、更には、上記パッドのみの構成に代えて、特許文献３に記載の如く、パッドとブラシを組み合わせて構成した回転盤を回転させて洗浄するようにしたものも存在する。
特開平７−５１６４０号公報 特開２００３−１６０６８７号公報 実開平４−１４０３６号公報 As a pad material used for a floor cleaning machine for cleaning a floor surface of an office or an airport lobby, a sponge described in Patent Document 1 and a melamine foam described in Patent Document 2 exist conventionally, and further, In place of the configuration of only the pad, there is also a configuration in which a rotating disk configured by combining a pad and a brush is rotated for cleaning as described in Patent Document 3.
JP 7-51640 A JP 2003-160687 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-14036

上記特許文献１に記載されているスポンジ製のパッドは、特にタイルの目地を洗浄することを目的としたものであり、上記特許文献２に記載のメラミンフォーム製のパッドは、手で扱うタワシやスポンジの様に磨り減ったら簡単に交換できる洗浄具として利用価値が高いものの、オフィスや工場等で使用する工業用洗浄機のパッドとしては、摩耗が著しくて不向きである。   The pad made of sponge described in the above-mentioned patent document 1 is intended for cleaning tile joints in particular, and the pad made of melamine foam described in the above-mentioned patent document 2 Although it is highly useful as a cleaning tool that can be easily replaced when it is worn down like a sponge, it is unsuitable for industrial cleaning machine pads used in offices and factories.

また、パッドとステンレス製又は合成樹脂製の剛毛群によって構成されたブラシとの組み合わせから成る円盤体を回転させる上記特許文献３に記載のカーペット用掃除機は、布による洗浄と剛毛ブラシによる洗浄とが相剰して、優れた洗浄効果を発揮することができるが、その使用範囲は専らカーペット用に限られている。   In addition, the carpet cleaner described in Patent Document 3 that rotates a disk body composed of a combination of a pad and a brush formed of a group of bristles made of stainless steel or synthetic resin is a cloth cleaner and a bristle brush. However, the range of use is limited to carpets.

一方、近年普及されてきたセラミックタイルは、耐火性、耐薬品性、耐摩耗性に優れていて、衛生的であり、且つ、光沢に富んでいてワックスを塗布する必要がないため、利用量と利用範囲が年々増大しつつあるが、しかし、セラミックタイルはそのタイル焼成時に内部の気泡が抜けた部分に微細な孔が多数形成され、この微細な孔の部分に汚れが入り込んでタイル表面が黒ずんでしまう問題があった。   On the other hand, ceramic tiles that have been widely used in recent years are excellent in fire resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, are hygienic and rich in gloss, and do not require the application of wax. The range of use is increasing year by year, however, ceramic tiles have many fine holes formed in the area where the internal bubbles are removed when the tile is fired, and dirt enters the fine holes and the surface of the tile is dark. There was a problem.

ところが、上述した各特許文献に記載された洗浄用パッドの殆どは、ナイロン製或いはポリエステルファイバー製であり、加えて、ブラシも合成樹脂モノフィラメント製の剛毛等で造られていて、繊維及び剛毛の径がいずれも太いため、洗浄時にこれ等パッド或いはブラシが上記セラミックタイルの細孔内に入り込んで、当該細孔内に入っている汚れを除去することができず、汚れが残ってしまう問題があり、加えて、従来のメラミンフォーム材で造ったパッドでは成形体自体に剥離現象が生じてしまう問題もあった。   However, most of the cleaning pads described in the above-mentioned patent documents are made of nylon or polyester fiber, and in addition, the brush is also made of synthetic resin monofilament bristles, etc., and the diameter of the fibers and bristles. However, since these are thick, these pads or brushes enter into the pores of the ceramic tile during cleaning, and the dirt contained in the pores cannot be removed, and there is a problem that the dirt remains. In addition, a pad made of a conventional melamine foam material has a problem that a peeling phenomenon occurs in the molded body itself.

そこで本発明の技術的課題は、セラミックタイルの細孔内に入り込んだ汚れを適確に除去することができると共に、従来のメラミンフォーム材の欠点である成形体の剥離現象を減らして、優れた洗浄効果を発揮できるように工夫した床面洗浄機用パッドを提供することである。   Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that it is possible to accurately remove the dirt that has entered the pores of the ceramic tile, and to reduce the peeling phenomenon of the molded body, which is a defect of the conventional melamine foam material, and is excellent. It is to provide a pad for a floor cleaning machine devised so as to exhibit a cleaning effect.

（１） 上記の技術的課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項１に係る発明は、モータを駆動してパッド体を高速回転し、且つ、この高速回転するパッド体に洗浄水を送り込むことにより、床面の洗浄を行う床面洗浄機用のパッドであって、当該パッド体の全体が、圧縮メラミンフォーム材を用いて円盤状で、且つ、中央部には円形に刳り貫かれた孔部を有する略ドーナツ形状に形成されていて、この孔部内に洗浄水を送り込みながら当該パッド体を高速回転することによって、床面を洗浄するように構成したことを特徴としている。 (1) In order to solve the above technical problem, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention drives a motor to rotate the pad body at a high speed , and feeds cleaning water into the pad body rotating at a high speed. This is a pad for a floor cleaning machine for cleaning the floor surface, and the entire pad body is disk-shaped using a compressed melamine foam material, and the center portion is pierced in a circle. It is formed in a substantially donut shape having a hole, and the pad surface is rotated at a high speed while feeding cleaning water into the hole so as to clean the floor surface .

（２） また、本発明の請求項２に係る発明は、前記圧縮メラミンフォーム材を用いて略ドーナツ形状に形成されたパッド体の外周を囲むように、洗浄用のブラシを環状に配置して構成したことを特徴としている。 (2) Moreover, the invention which concerns on Claim 2 of this invention arrange | positions the brush for washing | cleaning cyclically | annularly so that the outer periphery of the pad body formed in the substantially donut shape may be enclosed using the said compression melamine foam material. It is characterized by the construction.

（３） また、本発明の請求項３に係る発明は、モータによって高速回転されるパッド台の底面中央部に弾性部材によって支持されたフォーム支持板を設け、このフォーム支持板に前記圧縮メラミンフォーム材を用いて略ドーナツ形状に構成したパッド体を取付けると共に、上記パッド台の底面外周部には、上記略ドーナツ形状に構成したパッド体の外周を囲むように、前記洗浄用のブラシを環状に配置して取付けたことを特徴としている。 (3) In the invention according to claim 3 of the present invention, a foam support plate supported by an elastic member is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the pad base rotated at high speed by a motor, and the compressed melamine foam is provided on the foam support plate. A pad body configured in a substantially donut shape using a material is attached, and the cleaning brush is annularly formed on the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the pad base so as to surround the outer periphery of the pad body configured in the approximately donut shape. It is characterized by being placed and installed.

（４） また、本発明の請求項４に係る発明は、モータによって高速回転されるパッド台の底面中央部に、前記圧縮メラミンフォーム材を用いて略ドーナツ形状に形成したパッド体を着脱可能に取付け、このパッド体の外周を囲む上記パッド台の底面外周部分には、弾性部材によって支持された環状のブラシ支持板を設けて、このブラシ支持板に前記洗浄用のブラシを取付けたことを特徴としている。 (4) In the invention according to claim 4 of the present invention, the pad body formed in a substantially donut shape using the compressed melamine foam material can be attached to and detached from the center of the bottom surface of the pad base rotated at high speed by the motor. An annular brush support plate supported by an elastic member is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the pad base surrounding the outer periphery of the pad body, and the cleaning brush is attached to the brush support plate. It is said.

上記（１）で述べた請求項１に係る発明によれば、床面洗浄機用のパッド体を、圧縮メラミンフォーム材を用いて略ドーナツ形状に形成しているため、洗浄水をこのパッド体の中心部に設けた孔部内に送り込めば、洗浄水が遠心力で外周方向に拡散して、優れた洗浄効果を発揮することができる。また、圧縮メラミンフォーム材は、従来のメラミンフォームの脆さを改良した素材であり、洗浄機用のパッド体としても組織の剥離や摩耗が少なくて十分に使用に耐えることができ、更に、繊維（繊維の様な１本ごとの糸状の物質）が細いため、床材の細孔に入り込んだ汚水を掻き出して洗浄することができる。 According to the invention according to claim 1 described in the above (1), since the pad body for the floor cleaning machine is formed in a substantially donut shape using the compressed melamine foam material, the cleaning water is supplied to the pad body. If it feeds in the hole provided in the center part of this, wash water will diffuse in an outer peripheral direction with a centrifugal force, and the outstanding cleaning effect can be exhibited. Compressed melamine foam material is a material that improves the brittleness of conventional melamine foam, and can be used sufficiently as a pad body for a washing machine with little tissue peeling and wear. Since each thread-like substance such as a fiber is thin, the sewage that has entered the pores of the flooring can be scraped off and washed.

上記（２）で述べた請求項２に係る発明によれば、セラミックタイル等の目地を周速の速い外周側に配置したブラシによって洗浄し、且つ、床材の細孔に入り込んだ汚れを圧縮メラミンフォーム材で造った中央部のパッド体で洗浄できるため、単一のパッドで床材の目地と細孔部の双方を一挙に洗浄できる利点を備えている。   According to the invention according to claim 2 described in (2) above, the joints such as ceramic tiles are washed with a brush arranged on the outer peripheral side having a high peripheral speed, and the dirt that has entered the pores of the flooring is compressed. Since it can be washed with a central pad body made of melamine foam material, it has the advantage that both joints and pores of the flooring can be washed at once with a single pad.

上記（３）で述べた請求項３に係る発明によれば、底面中央部のフォーム支持板と取付台との間に弾性部材が介在されていて、この弾性部材の弾発力によって、フォーム支持板に取付けられている圧縮メラミンフォーム製のパッド体を常時清掃面に押接できるため、使用によってパッド体が多少摩耗したとしても、上記の弾発力でパッド体を清掃面に押し付けることにより、洗浄効果を維持することができる。   According to the invention according to claim 3 described in the above (3), the elastic member is interposed between the foam support plate at the center of the bottom surface and the mounting base, and the foam support is provided by the elastic force of the elastic member. Since the pad body made of compressed melamine foam attached to the plate can always be pressed against the cleaning surface, even if the pad body is somewhat worn by use, by pressing the pad body against the cleaning surface with the above elastic force, The cleaning effect can be maintained.

上記（４）で述べた請求項４に係る発明によれば、外周側のブラシ支持板と取付台との間に弾性部材が介在されていて、この弾性部材の弾発力によって、ブラシ支持板に取付けられている洗浄用のブラシを常時清掃面に押接できるため、使用によってブラシが多少摩耗したとしても、上記の弾発力でブラシを清掃面に押し付けて洗浄効果を維持することができると共に、パッド体の外周部分が可動になり、目地や凹凸のある清掃部分にブラシを有効に作用できるため、パッドの接地面を傾けることにより、外周側のブラシ部分で清掃面の特定箇所の洗浄にも対応できる利点を発揮することができる。   According to the invention according to claim 4 described in (4) above, an elastic member is interposed between the brush support plate on the outer peripheral side and the mount, and the brush support plate is generated by the elastic force of the elastic member. Since the cleaning brush attached to the cleaning surface can always be pressed against the cleaning surface, even if the brush is worn slightly by use, the cleaning effect can be maintained by pressing the brush against the cleaning surface with the above elastic force. At the same time, the outer peripheral part of the pad body becomes movable, and the brush can effectively act on the cleaning part with joints and unevenness, so by tilting the grounding surface of the pad, cleaning the specific part of the cleaning surface with the brush part on the outer peripheral side The advantage which can respond also to can be demonstrated.

以上述べた次第で、本発明によれば、パッド体の上面中央部から滴下した（流し込まれた）洗浄水を十分に拡散して有効活用し、優れた洗浄効果を発揮することができる。即ち、一般に圧縮メラミンフォーム材は吸水性が高く、洗浄水をパッド体の中心部から滴下するとパッド体自体が吸水し、特に中央部に多く吸水して（中央部が膨潤してしまい）、洗浄面全体に広がりにくくなるが、パッド体の内径／外径の比を外径が５００ｍｍで０．４３以上、４３０ｍｍで０．４以上、又は、３８０ｍｍで０．３６以上にすると、パッド体の吸水を少なくすることができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently diffuse and effectively use the cleaning water dripped (flowed in) from the central portion of the upper surface of the pad body, and exhibit an excellent cleaning effect. That is, in general compressed melamine foam material has high water absorption, the wash water was pad body itself water when dropped from the center of the pad member, in particular by increasing water absorption into the central portion (central portion ends up swelling), washed spreads difficulty Kunar throughout the plane, the outer diameter ratio of the inner diameter / outer diameter of the pad body is 0.43 or more 500 mm, 0.4 or more at 430 mm, or, when the 0.36 or more 380 mm, the pad body Ru it is possible to reduce the water absorption.

従って、洗浄水をパッド体の上面中央部から送り込むタイプの洗浄機に使用すれば、パッド体の中心部付近のみでの吸水を少なくでき、吸水したパッド体が重くなり、動きが鈍くなる様なことがなく、十分に洗浄水を拡散でき、洗浄水を有効活用することができる。 Therefore, if it is used in a washing machine that feeds cleaning water from the center of the top surface of the pad body, water absorption only near the center of the pad body can be reduced, and the pad body that has absorbed water becomes heavier and slows down. The washing water can be sufficiently diffused and the washing water can be effectively used.

以上述べた次第で、本発明に係る床面洗浄機用パッドによれば、圧縮メラミンフォーム材製のパッド体を使用することにより、従来のパッドでは洗浄しきれなかった細孔内に入り込んだ汚れをきれいに除去することができるものであって、パッド体或いはブラシを弾性的に支持して洗浄効果を高めた点、及び、パッド体の上面中央部に設けられた孔部に送り込まれた洗浄水を、パッドの回転に従って外周方向に有効的に拡散して、洗浄水の有効活用を可能にした点と相成って、特に、セラミックタイルを用いた床面の洗浄に用いて頗る好適なものである。 As described above, according to the pad for the floor cleaning machine according to the present invention, by using the pad body made of the compressed melamine foam material, the dirt that has entered the pores that could not be cleaned by the conventional pad. The point that the pad body or brush is elastically supported to enhance the cleaning effect, and the cleaning water fed into the hole provided in the center of the upper surface of the pad body Is effectively diffused in the outer circumferential direction according to the rotation of the pad, and in combination with the point that the cleaning water can be effectively used, it is particularly suitable for use in cleaning floor surfaces using ceramic tiles. .

以下に、本発明に係る床面洗浄機用パッドの実施の形態を図面と共に説明すると、図１は本発明のパッドを搭載した床面洗浄機の一例を示した斜視図であって、図中、１は床面洗浄機の車体を示し、符号１０で全体的に示したのは、車体１の底面においてモータ２によって高速回転されて床面を洗浄する本発明に係るパッド、３はこのパッドの中央部分に洗浄水（ＣＷ）を送り込む給水ポンプ、４はスキージ５に吸引作用を及ぼすことにより、床面に溜まった洗浄後の汚水（ＤＷ）を吸い取って回収する吸引ブロアーである。   Embodiments of a floor cleaning machine pad according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

When the cleaning brush is used, and when the cleaning brush and the compressed melamine foam material according to claims 2, 3 and 4 of the present invention are used, the "pores" It is a graph showing the “cleaning effect of dirt” in comparison with the color difference from the time of contamination. According to this graph, it can be seen that the cleaning effect of the pad made of the compressed melamine foam material is large. The cleaning degree by the color difference was prepared by making a pseudo stain with a marking chalk and comparing the color difference before and after the cleaning with a color difference meter.

また、図３は、上記４通りのパッド１０を用いて洗浄した場合の「目地汚れの洗浄効果」を、汚染時との色差で比較して表したグラフであって、目地汚れに対してはブラシでの洗浄効果が大きいことが分かった。   FIG. 3 is a graph showing the “cleaning effect of joint stain” in the case of washing using the above four pads 10 by comparing the color difference with that at the time of contamination. It was found that the cleaning effect with a brush was great.

As shown in the figure, it has a substantially annular shape with a large hole formed in the center. A cleaning brush 18 is attached to the bottom surface of the brush support plate 17 so as to surround the outer periphery of the pad body 11. The cleaning water CW sent by the water supply pump 3 shown in FIG. And through the holes 12A and 15A provided in the central portions of the hook-and-loop fastener 15 and sent into the holes 11A of the pad body 11.

図６は、上記パッド体１１の外径φＤと、その孔部１１Ａの内径φｄとの比を説明したものであって、（Ａ）は圧縮メラミンフォーム材で略ドーナツ形状に形成したパッド体１１の底面図、（Ｂ）はその側断面図で、前記請求項５に記載の如く、外径φＤが５００ｍｍ（２０インチ）のパッド体１１の場合は、その比が少なくとも０．４３以上、即ち、φｄ／φＤ≧０．４３に構成され、また、外径φＤが４３０ｍｍ（１７インチ）のパッド体１１の場合は、その比が少なくとも０．４以上、即ち、φｄ／φＤ≧０．４に構成され、更に、外径φＤが３８０ｍｍ（１５インチ）のパッド体１１の場合は、その比が少なくとも０．３６以上、即ち、φｄ／φＤ≧０．３６に構成されている。   FIG. 6 illustrates the ratio between the outer diameter φD of the pad body 11 and the inner diameter φd of the hole 11A. FIG. 6A shows a pad body 11 formed of a compressed melamine foam material into a substantially donut shape. (B) is a side cross-sectional view of the pad body 11 having an outer diameter φD of 500 mm (20 inches) as described in claim 5, and the ratio is at least 0.43, that is, In the case of the pad body 11 having an outer diameter φD of 430 mm (17 inches), the ratio is at least 0.4, that is, φd / φD ≧ 0.4. Further, in the case of the pad body 11 having an outer diameter φD of 380 mm (15 inches), the ratio is at least 0.36 or more, that is, φd / φD ≧ 0.36.

図７は、上記圧縮メラミンフォーム材で造ったパッド体１１の内外径比と吸水量の関係を示したグラフであって、実験では洗浄機用のパッド体１１として、一般的な厚さである２０〜３０ｍｍのものを、回転数２５０〜２７０ｒｐｍで回転した。また、図８はパッド体１１の内径／外径比をｙ、外径をｘとして、内外径の値を求める次の式、即ち、
ｙ＝−０．０００００６２ｘ２＋０．００６ｘ−１．０２
をグラフにしたものであって、この式に基づき、パッド体１１の外径寸法φＤから好適な内径寸法φｄを算出することができる。 FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the inner / outer diameter ratio of the pad body 11 made of the compressed melamine foam material and the amount of water absorption. In the experiment, the pad body 11 has a general thickness as the pad body 11 for a washing machine. A 20-30 mm thing was rotated with the rotational speed 250-270 rpm. FIG. 8 shows the following equation for determining the inner / outer diameter value, where y is the inner diameter / outer diameter ratio of the pad body 11 and x is the outer diameter:
y = −0.0000062x 2 + 0.006x−1.02
Based on this equation, a suitable inner diameter dimension φd can be calculated from the outer diameter dimension φD of the pad body 11.
