[0030] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present application will become apparent and be readily understood from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0032] Figure 1 A processing flow diagram of the treatment method of the cleaning cloth provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to more clearly understand the above aspects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, however, the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] The scrubber is a mechanical equipment which can replace manual cleaning operation, and is widely used in commercial and service industries. With the development of technology, more and more scrubbers are also widely used in household cleaning operation. The traditional scrubbers for commercial or service industries are large in size and high in noise, and are not suitable for household cleaning operation.

[0036] For household cleaning, the "sweeping" and "mopping" of the ground are often integrated. Although sweeping and dust removal seem to be more frequent, they can provide deep mopping and comprehensive sterilization for the whole house, which is the current demand. The scrubbers sold on the market have the shortcomings that mopping is not thorough and stubborn stains cannot be effectively removed, which makes many users lose interest in the scrubber and have many opinions. And the self-cleaning function of the scrubber cannot effectively clean the roller, leaving many stains on the roller, causing bacteria to breed, and the roller also emits odor. At present, the surface of the scrubber roller still uses polyester blended yarn, that is, the polyester blended yarn is made into a parallelogram and is pasted on the roller. Among them, polyester refers to polyester, and the main component of polyester is polyester fiber. The friction between the conventional roller and the ground to be cleaned is not enough, which cannot assist the user to clean the stains well. And although the stains on the roller are wetted several times by the detergent-containing clean water, they still cannot be washed off well, causing bacteria to breed and odor to be obvious. Although the detergent can cover and kill some bacteria, the effect is limited. Based on this, the present application provides a cleaning cloth processing method, which is also the roller cloth of the present application, solving the technical problem of poor sterilization effect of the conventional roller. It should be noted that for other application scenarios, the cleaning cloth can also be cloth on other devices.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 The raw material of the cleaning cloth provided by the present application includes polyester fiber, and the cleaning cloth processing method includes the following steps:

[0038] S102: preparing an alkali solution, placing the cleaning cloth in the alkali solution for saponification treatment, so as to form a gap on the cleaning cloth;

[0039] S104: washing the saponification-treated cleaning cloth, and placing the washed cleaning cloth in a sterilizing agent, so that the sterilizing agent is attached to the gap in the cleaning cloth.

[0040] The application provides a cleaning cloth treatment method, and the cleaning cloth is subjected to saponification treatment by an alkali liquor before being treated by a sterilizing agent. In this way, macromolecules on the surface of polyester fibers are broken and hydrophilic groups are generated. On the one hand, the surface morphology and internal structure of the polyester fibers are changed, micro-pits are generated, and the crystallinity is reduced, so that a microporous structure is formed on the surface of the cleaning cloth, and the adsorption degree of the sterilizing agent is improved. On the other hand, the generation of the hydrophilic groups can further increase the penetration ability of the sterilizing agent, so that the sterilizing agent is firmly attached to the cleaning cloth, and the sterilizing effect can last for a long time and will not be removed by severe friction. The long-term sterilizing effect is well ensured. The cleaning cloth treated by the treatment method has excellent cleaning ability and antibacterial and sterilizing ability.

[0041] In some embodiments, the step of preparing the alkali liquor specifically comprises: mixing the alkaline solution and the catalyst to obtain a mixed solution, and heating the mixed solution to a preset temperature to obtain the alkali liquor. In the preset temperature, the alkali liquor can react with the polyester fibers by saponification.

[0042] In this embodiment, the catalyst can further accelerate the saponification reaction, improve the surface roughness of the polyester fibers and the generation of the hydrophilic groups, thereby increasing the adsorption degree of the sterilizing agent and ensuring the long-term sterilizing effect. Of course, the catalyst can also be selected according to the requirements.

[0043] In some embodiments, the catalyst comprises a cationic surfactant.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cationic surfactant has good catalytic function and can improve the saponification reaction rate.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cationic surfactant comprises at least one of dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride or hexadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the alkaline solution to the catalyst in the mixed solution of the alkaline solution and the catalyst is greater than or equal to 100:8 and less than or equal to 100:4.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mass ratio of the alkaline solution to the catalyst is greater than or equal to 100:8 and less than or equal to 100:4. On the one hand, the saponification reaction can be ensured to proceed smoothly, and on the other hand, the catalyst can be prevented from being excessive and wasting materials. For example, the mass ratio of the alkaline solution to the catalyst is equal to 100:8, 100:7 or 100:6.

[0048] In some embodiments, the preset temperature is greater than or equal to 90℃ and less than or equal to 100℃.

[0049] In this embodiment, the heating temperature of the mixed solution of the alkaline solution and the catalyst is between 90°C and 100°C, which can ensure the occurrence of the saponification reaction and avoid damage to the polyester fiber caused by excessively high temperature. For example, the heating temperature of the mixed solution of the alkaline solution and the catalyst is 90°C, 95°C or 100°C.

[0050] In some embodiments, optionally, the alkaline solution comprises at least one of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

[0051] In this embodiment, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide have good activity and can accelerate the saponification reaction with the polyester fiber, thereby changing the surface morphology and internal structure of the polyester fiber and improving the adsorption degree of the sterilizing agent.

[0052] In some embodiments, optionally, the sterilizing agent comprises at least one of an organic silicon quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent, an epoxy quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent or an inorganic antibacterial agent.

[0053] In this embodiment, the organic silicon quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent, the epoxy quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent or the inorganic antibacterial agent all have good sterilization effect, and are especially suitable for cleaning the ground.

[0054] In some embodiments, optionally, the sterilizing agent comprises a surface active agent.

[0055] In this embodiment, the sterilizing agent comprises a surface active agent, which can further improve the activity of the sterilizing agent and improve the sterilization intensity of the sterilizing agent.

[0056] In some embodiments, optionally, the cleaning cloth can be a roller cloth.

[0057] The following describes the treatment method of the roller cloth in detail, with sodium hydroxide as the alkaline solution and dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as the catalyst.

[0058] Experimental reagents: sodium hydroxide, 1227 (dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, molecular formula: C 21 H 38 NCl), a sterilizing agent;

[0059] Experimental instruments: heater, beaker, tray balance, measuring cylinder;

[0060] Experimental steps:

[0061] Firstly, weigh sodium hydroxide and 1227, whose concentrations are 10 g / L and 0.06% (mass fraction) respectively, and put them into a beaker with water, with a bath ratio of 1:50. Place the beaker on the heater, and heat the temperature to 90°C. After the temperature reaches 90°C, add the roller cloth and soak for 30 minutes. After completion, clean thoroughly.

[0062] Second cloth, the first step of the roller cloth is put into water with sterilizing agent, the concentration of the sterilizing agent is 3% (mass fraction), and the soaking time is 24h.After the treatment is completed, the roller cloth is washed and dried, and the experiment is completed.

[0063] The basic principle of the treatment method is saponification reaction, in which the hydroxyl group in the lye first attacks the carbonyl carbon atom with low electron cloud density to form an adduct, and then the ester bond is hydrolyzed and broken, the macromolecule is degraded into small molecules with small molecular weight, until sodium terephthalate and ethylene glycol are generated, and the sodium terephthalate and ethylene glycol leave the polyester fiber, so that the mass of the polyester fiber is reduced. At room temperature, the polyester fiber is very stable to the lye, and when the glass transition temperature is reached, the saponification reaction begins to occur. With the increase of temperature, the reaction speed is accelerated. By selecting appropriate treatment time and temperature, and using a certain concentration of sodium hydroxide solution to treat the polyester fiber, the surface morphology and internal structure of the polyester fiber can be changed, that is, micro-pits are generated and the crystallinity is reduced to form pores, so that the hydrophilicity of the polyester fiber is improved. Therefore, the changes of the polyester fiber after being treated by the sodium hydroxide solution mainly include the breaking of macromolecules in the surface layer of the polyester fiber, the weight loss of the polyester fiber, the increase of the surface roughness of the polyester fiber, the appearance of the hydrophilic groups on the surface of the polyester fiber, and the increase of the hydrophilicity of the polyester fiber. Then the roller cloth is immersed in the water solution of the sterilizing agent. The polar groups on the surfactant in the sterilizing agent solution can combine with the exposed polar groups on the roller cloth, and firmly adhere to the roller cloth. The permeability of the surfactant can make the sterilizing substances penetrate into the interior of the roller cloth, so that the sterilizing effect can last for a long time, and the sterilizing effect will not be lost after severe friction. The long-term sterilizing effect is well ensured.

[0064] The structure of the polyester fiber is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] The second aspect of the present application provides a cleaning cloth, which is obtained by treating the cleaning cloth by the treatment method of any one of the embodiments of the present application.

[0067] The oil removal capacity of the cleaning cloth of the present application and the cleaning effect on hard surfaces such as ceramic tiles and wooden boards are improved by more than 50% compared with conventional floor cleaning machines. In addition, after the cleaning cloth of the present application is pasted on the roller, the floor cleaning machine of the present application realizes the self-cleaning function, and the roller does not produce any odor for 7 days.
