Abstract

In order to improve the cleaning effect when cleaning carpets and upholstery fabrics with the aid of suitable cleaning chemicals by means of electrostatic forces, a device is used which has a rotor, made of insulating material and driven by a drive device, and cleaning cushions made of pile fabric or the like and mounted on said rotor. The rotor is formed from two or more flat discs which are connected to one another tightly along their edges, the mutually adjacent flat sides of the discs being provided with a roughened portion in order to form air cushions between them. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen von Teppichen und Polstermöbelstoffen mit einem durch eine Antriebsvorrichtung angetriebenen Rotor aus Isoliermnterial und an dessen Unterseite gegenüber diesem verdrehfest anbringbaren Reinigungskissen aus Polgewebe oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a device for cleaning carpets and upholstered furniture materials with a rotor made of insulating material driven by a drive device and on the underside of which cleaning pads made of pile fabric or the like which can be attached in a rotationally fixed manner thereto.

Es ist bekannt, Textilien wie Teppiche und Polstermöbelstoffe unter Verwendung von Shampoonaten, Schäumen oder nach RAL 991 A2 zu reinigen. Es ist auch bekannt, Teppichböden nach vorherigem Behandeln mit einem chemischen Wirkstoff mittels Teppichreinigungsmaschinen mit rotierenden Bürsten zu reinigen, die die Schmutzpartikel mechanisch von den Fasern der Teppichböden lösen. Diese Methode hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß die behandelten Teppichböden bis zu ihrer völligen Trocknung u.U. bis zu mehreren Tagen nicht betreten werden können.It is known to clean textiles such as carpets and upholstery fabrics using shampoo, foam or according to RAL 991 A2. It is also known to clean carpets after prior treatment with a chemical agent using carpet cleaning machines with rotating brushes which mechanically loosen the dirt particles from the fibers of the carpets. However, this method has the disadvantage that the treated carpets may dry until they are completely dry. cannot be entered for up to several days.

Durch die US-PSen 4 186 030 und 4 067 082 ist es auch schon bekannt geworden, Teppiche und Teppichböden unter Zuhilfenahme geeigneter Reinigungschemikalien mittels elektrostatischer Kraft zu reinigen. So ist gemäß der US-PS 4 067 082 ein fahrbares Gestell vorgesehen, das einen Elektromotor vorsieht, der mit einem Rotor aus Isoliermaterial verbindbar ist, an dessen Unterseite eine Reinigungsmatte aus Polgewebe oder dergleichen angebracht werden kann. Durch die Rotation der Reinigungsmatte auf dem Teppichboden wird dabei durch Reibung ein elektrostatisches Feld erzeugt. Die Ausbildung und Anordnung ist dabei so getroffen, daß der Rotor mit der Reinigungsmatte einerseits und der mit einer geeigneten Reinigungschemikalie eingesprühte Tcppichboden andererseits ungleichnamig aufgeladen werden, wodurch die Schmutzpartikel sich aus dem Teppichboden lösen und aufgrund der wirksamen elektrostatischen Kräfte sich auf der am Rotor angebrachten Reinigungsmatte ablagern.From US Pat. Nos. 4,186,030 and 4,067,082, it has also become known to clean carpets and carpets with the aid of suitable cleaning chemicals using an electrostatic force. According to US Pat. No. 4,067,082, a mobile frame is provided which provides an electric motor which can be connected to a rotor made of insulating material, on the underside of which a cleaning mat made of pile fabric or the like can be attached. The rotation of the cleaning mat on the carpet creates an electrostatic field due to friction. The design and arrangement is such that the rotor with the cleaning mat on the one hand and the Carpet flooring sprayed with a suitable cleaning chemical, on the other hand, is charged with the same name, as a result of which the dirt particles come loose from the carpet and, due to the effective electrostatic forces, are deposited on the cleaning mat attached to the rotor.

Dieses Verfahren und diese Vorrichtung haben den Vorteil, daß die bei den eingangs genannten Reinigungsverfahren genannten Nachteile im wesentlichen vermieden werden und mit weniger Reinigungschemikalien eine schonendere Behandlung und schnellere Trocknung der Teppichhöden erzielt wird, jedoch läßt die Reinigungswirkung, d.h. die Befreiung der Textilien von Schmutzpartikeln, nach wie vor zu wünschen übrig.This process and this device have the advantage that the disadvantages mentioned in the cleaning processes mentioned at the outset are essentially avoided and that fewer cleaning chemicals achieve a gentler treatment and faster drying of the carpet heights, but the cleaning action, i.e. the removal of textiles from dirt particles, still to be desired.

Die Erfindung macht es sich daher zur Aufgabe, diese Reinigungswirkung im Sinne einer sogannten Vollreinigung zu steigern.The invention therefore has the task of increasing this cleaning effect in the sense of a so-called full cleaning.

Uberraschend wurde gefunden, daß diese Aufgabe mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst wird.Surprisingly, it was found that this object is achieved with a device according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Durch die zwischen den einzelnen Scheiben des Rotors gebildeten Luftpolster wird erreicht, daß die durch die Reibung des Reinigungskissens auf dem Textil erzeugte und auf den Rotor übergehende Wärme in diesem gespeichert wird, so daß zwischen Rotor und Textil ein Temperaturgefälle besteht, das analog dem bekannten sogannten Seebeck-Effekt in Verbindung mit den vorhandenen elektrostatischen Kräften eine verstärkte Wirkung im Sinne des Herauslösens der Schmutzpartikel aus dem zuvor mit einer geeigneten Reinigungschemikalie behandelten Textil sowie deren Beförderung zum und Festhalten im Reinigungskissen ergibt. Von Vorteil ist dabei auch, daß beim üblichen Wechsel des mit Schmutzpartikeln gesättigten Reinigungskissens gegen ein frisches Reinigungskissen, dieses durch die im Rotor gespeicherte Wärme schon beim Aufbringen auf den Rotor erwärmt wird. Das Temperaturgefälle zwischen Rotor bzw. Reinigungskissen einerseits und Textil andererseits und damit der vorteilhafte thermoelektrische Effekt bleibt daher während der gesamten Behandlungsdauer im wesentlichen unverändert erhalten.The air cushion formed between the individual disks of the rotor ensures that the heat generated by the friction of the cleaning pad on the textile and is transferred to the rotor is stored in it, so that a temperature gradient exists between the rotor and textile, which is analogous to the so-called known Seebeck effect in connection with the existing electrostatic forces an increased effect in the sense the removal of the dirt particles from the textile previously treated with a suitable cleaning chemical and their transport to and holding in the cleaning pad. It is also advantageous that, when the cleaning pad saturated with dirt particles is exchanged for a fresh cleaning pad, it is heated by the heat stored in the rotor when it is applied to the rotor. The temperature gradient between the rotor or cleaning pad on the one hand and the textile on the other hand and therefore the advantageous thermoelectric effect is therefore essentially unchanged throughout the treatment period.

Vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous further developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung in einem Ausführungsbeispiel schematisch dargestellt und wird anhand dieser im folgenden erläutert. Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie A-A der Figur 2 und
  • Figur 2 eine Draufsicht auf die Unterseite eines erfindungsgemäßen Rotors.
The invention is shown schematically in the drawing in an exemplary embodiment and is explained below with reference to this. Show it
  • 1 shows a section along the line AA of Figure 2 and
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the underside of a rotor according to the invention.

Gemäß der Zeichnung weist die unterste, dem Reinigungskissen 2 benachbarte, Scheibe 3 des Rotors vollen Kreisquerschnitt auf. Auf der Scheibe 3 sind die Ringscheiben 4 angeordnet, von denen die oberste mit den Vorsprüngen 5 versehen ist. Diese Vorsprünge 5, vorzugsweise drei gleichmäßig über den Umfang verteilt angeordnet, dienen zur lösbaren Verbindung, beispielsweise nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses, mit dem nicht gezeigten Antrieb. Abgesehen von den Vorsprüngen 5 der obersten Scheibe haben alle Scheiben 4 den gleichen Jnnen- und Außendurchmesner. Die Scheiben 4 sind miteinander und die unterste Scheibe 4 ist mit der Scheibe 3 längs ihres äußeren und inneren Randes auf einer Breite von beispielsweise etwa 1 cm rundum dicht verklebt, beispielsweise mittels eines organischen Lösungsmittelklebers. Die einander benachbarten Flächen aller Scheiben sollen im übrigen jedoch in nicht gezeigter Weise mit einer mehr oder weniger großen Aufrauhung versehen sein, so daß sich zwischen je zwei einander benachbarten Scheiben ein völlig abgeschlossenes Luftpolster befindet.According to the drawing, the bottom disk 3 of the rotor, which is adjacent to the cleaning pad 2, has a full circular cross section. On the disc 3, the annular discs 4 are arranged, of which the uppermost is provided with the projections 5. These projections 5, preferably three arranged uniformly distributed over the circumference, serve for releasable connection, for example in the manner of a bayonet catch, to the drive not shown. Apart from the protrusions 5 of the uppermost disk, all disks 4 have the same inside and outside diameter. The panes 4 are bonded to one another and the bottom pane 4 is tightly bonded to the pane 3 along its outer and inner edge over a width of, for example, approximately 1 cm, for example by means of an organic solvent adhesive. The adjacent surfaces of all panes should, however, be provided in a manner not shown with a more or less large roughening, so that there is a completely sealed air cushion between two adjacent panes.

An der Unterseite der Scheibe 3 sind die drei über den Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt angeordneten Beborstungen 6 vorgesehen. Zweckmäßig sind die verhältnismäßig harten Borsten in einem geeigneten Trägermaterial verankert und mittels dieses in entsprechenden Vertiefungen der Scheibe 3 angebracht, beispielsweise eingeklebt. Die überstehende Länge der Borsten wird dabei so gewählt, daß ein sicheres Mitnehmen des Reinigungskissens 2 immer gewährleistet ist, gleichgültig, ob es sich bei diesem um ein einseitig oder beidseitig verwendbares Reinigungskissen handelt.The three bristles 6 arranged uniformly distributed over the circumference are provided on the underside of the disk 3. The relatively hard bristles are expediently anchored in a suitable carrier material and, by means of this, attached, for example glued, in corresponding recesses in the disk 3. The protruding length of the bristles is chosen so that a safe carrying of the cleaning pad 2 is always guaranteed, regardless of whether it is a cleaning pad that can be used on one or both sides.

Damit eine Verfilzung des Kissens, wie sie im Drehpunkt und dem diesen umgebenden nahen Bereich auftreten und zu einer Beschädigung des Textils, bei dem es sich bei der Behandlung mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sowohl um Wollmaterialien wie auch synthetische Materialien handeln kann, führen könnte, sicher vermieden wird, kann es sich als zweckmäßig erweisen, ein Reinigungskissen mit einer zentralen Aussparung zu verwenden. In diesem Fall kann die Scheibe 3 ebenfalls eine zentrale Öffnung entsprechenden oder auch etwas geringeren Durchmessers aufweisen.This reliably prevents matting of the pillow, such as occurs in the pivot point and the surrounding area surrounding it, and damage to the textile, which could result in both wool materials and synthetic materials being treated with the device according to the invention it can prove to be useful prove to use a cleaning pad with a central recess. In this case, the disc 3 can also have a central opening of a corresponding or somewhat smaller diameter.

Abweichend von den in der Zeichnung gezeigten Abmessungen können das Reinigungskissen 2, die Scheibe 3 und die Scheiben 4 auch gleichen Durchmesser aufweisen. Ebenso kann anstelle der Vorsprünge 5 selbstverständlich auch eine andere Verriegelung zwischen Rotor 1 und Antrieb vorgesehen werden. Desgleichen sind Anordnung, Form und Abmessungen der Beborstungen 6 nur als beispielhafte Angaben zu verstehen und können selbstverständlich auch davon abweichen.Deviating from the dimensions shown in the drawing, the cleaning pad 2, the disc 3 and the discs 4 can also have the same diameter. Likewise, instead of the projections 5, a different locking between the rotor 1 and the drive can of course also be provided. Likewise, the arrangement, shape and dimensions of the bristles 6 are only to be understood as examples and can of course also deviate therefrom.

Die Scheiben 3 und 4, die zweckmäßig eine Dicke von etwa 2 bis 6, vorzugsweise 3 bis 5 mm, aufweisen, brauchen selbstverständlich nicht alle die gleiche Dicke aufweisen, vielmehr können auch Scheiben unterschiedlicher Dicke miteinander gepaart werden.The disks 3 and 4, which expediently have a thickness of about 2 to 6, preferably 3 to 5 mm, need not of course all have the same thickness, but disks of different thicknesses can also be paired with one another.

Es versteht sich, daß der sich bei der Behandlung von Teppich, Teppichböden oder Polstermöbelstoffen einstellende thermoelektrische und elektrostatische Effekt von einer Reihe von Faktoren beeinflusst wird. Entsprechend wird der Aufbau des Rotors 1 hinsichtlich des Materials sowie der Zahl und Dicke der verwendeten Scheiben, der Größe der Luftpolster, zu dessen Erzielung eine Aufrauhung von wenigen 1/10 mm Tiefe genügt, der Größe des inneren und äußeren Durchmessers und in Verbindung mit diesem die jeweilige Drehzahl des Rotors 1 bzw. des auf diesem angeordneten Reinigungskissens in Abstimmung mit dem zu behandelten Produkt sowie der Art und Menge der dabei verwendeten Rcinigungschemikalie gewählt.It is understood that the thermoelectric and electrostatic effect which arises in the treatment of carpet, carpets or upholstered furniture materials is influenced by a number of factors. Accordingly, the structure of the rotor 1 with respect to the material and the number and thickness of the discs used, the size of the air cushion, to achieve a roughening of a few 1/10 mm depth is sufficient, the size of the inner and outer diameter and in connection with this the respective speed of the rotor 1 or the cleaning pad arranged on this in coordination with the to be traded product and the type and amount of cleaning chemical used.

Aufgrund dessen, daß die in einer Menge von beispielsweise etwa 5 bis etwa 100 ml/m2 auf ein Textil aufgesprühte, beispielsweise organische Tenside, Alkohole, waschaktive Substanzen und wässrige Lösungen enthaltende und einen pH-Wert von vorzugsweise etwa 6,2 bis 7,5 aufweisende Reinigungschemikalie durch die Reibungswärme einer schnellen Verdunstung ausgesetzt ist, ist es von Fall zu Fall möglich, in einer Zeit von etwa 20 min bis zu etwa 2 h eine volle Trocknung des Textils zu erreichen, ohne an den Fasern des Textils Scifensubstanzen zu hinterlassen, die ein schnelles Wieceranschmutzen der Fasern zur Folge hätten. Es hat sich im Gegenteil gezeigt, daß ein Ergebnis erzielt wird, bei dem die behandelten Fasern nicht schneller wieder anschmutzen.als das Anschmutzen bei einer Neuware der Fall ist.Due to the fact that the sprayed onto a textile in an amount of, for example, about 5 to about 100 ml / m 2 , which contains, for example, organic surfactants, alcohols, detergent substances and aqueous solutions and a pH of preferably about 6.2 to 7, 5 cleaning chemical is exposed to rapid evaporation due to the frictional heat, it is possible from case to case to achieve a full drying of the textile in a time from about 20 minutes to about 2 hours, without leaving scipe substances on the fibers of the textile, which would result in a quick Wiecer soiling of the fibers. On the contrary, it has been shown that a result is achieved in which the treated fibers do not become soiled again faster than soiling is the case with new goods.
