Cleaning device such as carpet cleaner, floorwasher, floor sweeper, polishing machine and the like with two motors

Abstract

A cleaning device such as a carpet cleaner, floorwasher, floor sweeper, polishing machine with two motors, comprising a wheeled base provided with brushing elements driven by a first electric motor; the wheeled base is maneuvered by a handle that supports a suction body that is pivoted to the base; the suction body is provided with suction elements operated by a second electric motor. The first motor and the second motor are both accommodated in a corresponding seat on the wheeled base.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Devices such as carpet cleaners, floorwashers, floor sweepers, polishing machines and the like are currently known and extremely widespread for cleaning and sanitizing enclosed spaces and particularly walkable surfaces. [0002] These devices generally comprise a wheeled base provided with brushing means driven by a first electric motor. [0003] The brushing means are designed to act mechanically on the surfaces to clean or polish, removing dust or spreading wax previously applied to the floor. [0004] The wheeled base is maneuvered by means of a handle, which supports a suction body that is pivoted to the wheeled base. [0005] The suction body is provided with suction means operated by a second electric motor. [0006] The second electric motor, which drives a suction turbine, is accommodated inside the suction body together with a bag or tank for collecting dust or liquids, which is provided with at least one filtering device, and with a duct that is ad...

Benefits of technology

[0014] The aim of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device such as carpet cleaner, floorwasher, floor sweeper, polishing machine and the like with two motors that is capable of solving the problems and drawbacks revealed by known types of device for cleaning surfaces and spreading wax.

[0015] Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device such as carpet cleaner, floorwasher, floor sweeper, polishing machine and the like that can be operated easily by a user with less fatigue than known types.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device such as carpet cleaner, floorwasher, floor sweeper and the like that can be manufactured easily and at low cost with conventional systems and technologies.

Problems solved by technology

A drawback is the user's difficulty in maneuvering said devices, owing to the weight associated with the handle.

The suction body, as mentioned, is rigidly coupled to the handle and consequently increases its weight.

The drawback worsens if one considers that the devices are generally used mainly by women, who on average have less physical strength than men.

Difficulty in handling and steering such devices can accordingly cause incorrect and incomplete cleaning of the surfaces that are treated or imperfect spreading of wax or slow these operations due to the frequent pauses required by the fatigue that rapidly occurs in the user.
