Description

[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning device for floors, consisting of at least - a handle which has a handle on one side and an application device for a cleaning agent on the respective floor on the opposite side, - a receiving device arranged on the handle for receiving a dispensing container for the cleaning agent, which is detachably connected to the receiving device by means of a locking device, and - a pump device for the metered removal of the cleaning agent from the dispensing container and delivery to the application device.

[0002] For years, the patent holder has been bringing such cleaning devices suitable for all types of floors to the national and international market, which are suitable not only for cleaning but also for maintaining floors. In this design, such a cleaning device is also referred to as a wet mop and is particularly suitable for parquet, cork, linoleum, stone, and PVC floors. Equipped with a telescopic pole as a handle for handling, such a mop ensures particularly ergonomic work, especially in the home. For cleaning and maintaining floors, the well-known cleaning device features a high-quality microfiber cover, which forms the actual mopping part and is machine-washable at 60°C and thus reusable. It is attached to a plate-shaped mopping part holder, which is pivotably attached to the lower end of the handle using a double joint.Given the high quality of the microfiber mentioned, the well-known cleaning device can also be used for oiled floors without any problems.

[0003] The known solution further comprises a cleaning agent container or dispensing container that can be filled with a special, purchasable cleaning and / or care product for floors. This product is available as a concentrate and, when mixed with water in the dispensing container, produces the floor cleaning agent to be applied. This product is sprayed in front of the mop section in the direction of travel of the mop by means of a pump device integrated in the handle. This product is actuated by a linkage gear integrated in the handle by means of a hand lever and by manual pumping movements. This is sprayed in front of the mop section in the direction of travel of the mop section. The product is then evenly distributed over the floor surface by means of the mop section to clean the floor.

[0004] The dispensing container can be secured manually using a simple, single notch in the receiving device by pushing the dispensing container into the locking position or removing it from this position again for a refilling process.

[0005] A comparable cleaning device in the form of a wet mop is disclosed in US 2015 / 0359401 A1. Another cleaning device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known, for example, from published patent application WO 01 / 40 102 A1. Further cleaning devices are known from US 2012 / 0 093 563 A1 and DE 10 2015 009 751 A1.

[0006] Based on this prior art, the invention seeks to further improve the known solutions. This object is achieved by a cleaning device having the features of patent claim 1 in its entirety.

[0007] Because, according to claim 1, the locking device, by means of a resettable actuating device, moves at least one detent, which is guided within the receiving device, into a release position when manually actuated, such that the dispensing container can be removed from the receiving device, and because, upon release of the actuating device, the respective detent automatically returns to its locked position in which the dispensing container is secured in the receiving device, the locking and release thereof no longer need to be carried out by manual engagement directly on the dispensing container, but rather a separate, independently actuated locking device is available, which helps to facilitate handling overall. In particular, controlled removal of the empty dispensing container is possible after actuating the locking device by means of the actuating device.In the reverse case, too, after placing or inserting the filled dispensing container into the corresponding holder on the handle, a defined determination for the dispensing of the cleaning agent from the dispensing container is ensured; in particular, it is ruled out that there will no longer be any unintentional non-locking if the container is simply placed loosely onto the holder.

[0008] Since the locking device according to the invention performs the locking and releasing process independently of the handling of the dispensing container, functional reliability is significantly increased and ergonomic use of the entire cleaning device, i.e., the mop, is achieved. This has no equivalent in the prior art.

[0009] According to the invention, it is further provided that the locking device comprises an elastically flexible annular body which has the respective notch on its inner circumference and which, when actuated by the actuating device acting on the annular body on its outer circumference and under a manually applied actuating force, moves from a first, preferably circular, locking position into a second, preferably oval, release position, after which the annular body automatically returns to its first locking position. In this way, the locking device can be actuated from a central location for a release process and, without additional return means, for example using energy storage devices such as compression springs, the annular body with the notches returns to its locked position on the dispensing container due to its inherent elasticity. Advantageously, only low actuating forces are required for this.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the actuating device comprises an actuating button which is at least partially guided in the receiving device and whose actuating direction runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the received dispensing container. Particularly when the actuating button is arranged centrally on a front side of the receiving device that is freely accessible from the outside, it is clearly visible in an ergonomically favorable manner at which point the locking device is to be actuated. Preferably, the dispensing container has an engagement point on its head for engagement by the respective catch of the locking device, so that the dispensing container can be accommodated in the receiving device in a space-saving manner.

[0011] In a further preferred embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention, the receiving device has a cup-shaped receptacle for one free end of the dispensing container, which is closed by a closure cap having a releasable check valve, preferably a spring-loaded check valve. Thanks to the check valve, drip-free insertion and removal of the dispensing container into and from the receiving device is possible, and removal of cleaning agent only actually takes place when the pump device is operated manually. Preferably, an opening device, preferably in the form of a mandrel, is provided on the bottom of the cup-shaped receptacle, which, when the dispensing container is inserted into the receiving device, permanently opens its check valve for a removal process.In the opposite case, when the dispensing container is removed after the locking device has been released, the check valve controlled by the opening device closes and the dispensing container can be removed from the receiving device without dripping if necessary.

[0012] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention, an ejection device is integrated into the receiving device, which ejection device at least partially removes the dispensing container from the receiving device when the locking device is actuated into the release position. Advantageously, the ejection device has at least one energy store which is loaded when the dispensing container is inserted into the receiving device and which, after actuation of the locking device and release of the dispensing container, suddenly releases its stored energy for an ejection process of the dispensing container. Preferably, the respective energy store is formed from a compression spring which, at the base of the receiving device, carries an actuating plunger on the head side, which bears against the closure cap under pretension when the dispensing container is received.

[0013] With the above features, after the locking device is released, a problem-free, partially automatic removal of the dispensing container from the receiving device is possible. In particular, there are no hindrances during the removal process, as the dispensing container is forcibly moved into a removal position for further manual removal. Furthermore, the respective energy storage device, particularly in the form of a compression spring, allows a permanently acting force to be exerted on the dispensing container by means of the ejection device in the locked state, which enables the dispensing container to be secured in the receiving device without play after locking by means of the locking device.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention, the pump device comprises a pump chamber in the handle, the volume of which can be varied by means of a pump piston that can be manually actuated by means of a linkage gear integrated in the handle. Preferably, a dispensing valve is integrated into the receiving device, which establishes a fluid connection between the open check valve of the dispensing container and the pump chamber, the volume of which increases due to a return movement of the pump piston and reaches the closed position as soon as the pump piston, in a forward movement, transfers the amount of cleaning agent received in the pump chamber to the application device.The aforementioned dispensing valve, usually in the form of a needle valve, allows for a controlled dispensing of the cleaning agent from the dispensing container into the pump chamber, which benefits the controlled dispensing of a predefined dosage to the wiping element. In particular, this allows the spray application in the area of the wiping element to be kept constant, as the aforementioned needle valve closes as soon as a pumping action is initiated. Due to the uniform spray application of the cleaning agent achieved in this way, an even distribution over the floor to be cleaned is achieved, which helps improve the cleaning results when wiping with the wiping element.

[0015] A modular cleaning device is advantageous both for transporting the mop from the manufacturer to the customer and for space-saving storage at the customer's site. For example, the handle is preferably divided into several sections, from which the handle can be assembled as a single unit in a snap-together manner. It is also advantageous if the handle sections, the pump assembly, the receiving device, the application device, the mop section holder, and a dispensing container form a sales set in the form of a plug-together, standardized kit.

[0016] The solution according to the invention also relates to a dispensing container for use in a cleaning device, as described above, at least comprising a container body for holding a cleaning agent and having a detachable, in particular screw-on and screw-off, closure cap which has a releasable check valve and a sealing device, in particular in the form of an O-ring, on its free end. While it is preferably provided that the dispensing container is part of the cleaning device and can be refilled with a cleaning concentrate, the aforementioned design of a dispensing container also offers the possibility of making it available as a spare part, already filled with the cleaning agent, for reordering for the cleaning device.

[0017] In the following, the solution according to the invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment of a cleaning device according to the drawing. The individual figures show, in the form of an assembly drawing, the most important components of the cleaning device as a whole, with the Fig. 1 shows a part of the cleaning device with a pot-shaped receptacle of a receiving device arranged on a handle part for a dispensing container with cleaning agent, wherein the handle part contains a pump device for removing cleaning agent from the dispensing container; Fig. 2 shows the direction of the Fig. 1 the handle part which closes the device at the top with a handle for moving the cleaning device and a hand lever for operating the pump device after the Fig. 1 via a rod drive mounted in the handle; Fig. 3 an intermediate piece of the handle between the handle after the Fig. 3 and the components according to the Fig. 1 arranged; Fig. 4 a lower plan view of a plate-shaped wiping part holder (without wiping part) with a hose-like connecting line for supplying two dispensing nozzles arranged on the front side; Fig. 5 in a highly simplified representation in the form of a functional model, the various operating positions of the locking device, as shown in Fig. 1 is shown; and Fig. 6 in the form of a sectional view of part of the closure cap of the Fig. 1 shown dispensing container with spring-loaded check valve.

[0018] The partial representation according to the Fig. Figure 1 shows essential parts of the cleaning device, which has at least one handle, designated as a whole by 10, which on one side is arranged as shown in Figure 1. Fig. 2 a handle 12 and on its opposite side according to the illustration according to the Fig. 4 has an application device 14 for dispensing a cleaning agent onto the respective floor to be cleaned (not shown).

[0019] As can be seen from the Fig. 1, a receiving device 16 for receiving a dispensing container 18 for the cleaning agent is arranged in the lower region of the handle 10. The receiving device 16 is preferably an integral part of the handle 10. By means of a locking device 20 as a component of the receiving device 16, the dispensing container 18 can be detachably connected to the receiving device 16, which will be explained in more detail below. Furthermore, a pump device 22 is accommodated in the handle 10 for a metered removal of the cleaning agent from the dispensing container 18 and dispensing it to the application device 14. For the sake of simplicity, the dispensing container 18 is shown empty; otherwise, it contains a refillable cleaning concentrate in an aqueous solution as a cleaning agent for the respective floor.The invention is characterized in that the locking device 20, by means of a resettable actuating device 24, when manually actuated, moves two catches 26, which are guided to and fro within the receiving device 16, into a release position such that the dispensing container 18 can be removed from the receiving device 16 by hand, wherein after the actuating device 24 is released, the respective catch 26 automatically moves back into its locking position in which the dispensing container 18 is fixed in the receiving device 16.

[0020] For this function, the locking device 20 has an elastically flexible annular body 28 which has the respective detent 26 projecting on the inner circumference and which, when actuated by the actuating device 24 acting on the outer circumference of the annular body 28, moves from a first, preferably circular locking position into a second, preferably oval release position under a manually applied actuating force, wherein when the actuating force is removed, the annular body 28 returns to its first circular locking position due to its elasticity.

[0021] To apply the actuating force, the actuating device 24 has a push or actuating button 30, which is at least partially guided in parts of the receiving device 16 and whose actuating direction runs transversely to the longitudinal axis 32 of the received dispensing container 18. According to the illustration according to the Fig. 1, the actuating button 30 is in its front non-actuated position and the annular body 28 is in locking engagement with its catches 26 with the dispensing container 18 along a recessed engagement point 34. For this purpose, the annular body 28 in its locked position encompasses the dispensing container 18 in the region of the engagement point 34 in a concentric arrangement with the longitudinal axis 32. As can be further seen from the Fig. 1, the annular body 28 is supported with its outer circumference at least partially on an inner wall surface 36 of the receiving device 16 as part of the guide for the locking device 20.

[0022] Now, according to the principle representation, Fig. 5, a pressure force is exerted on the annular body 28 in its circular initial shape shown in dashed lines by means of the actuating button 30, the elastically flexible annular body 28 deforms and assumes an oval unlocking position, which is shown in solid lines. It should be emphasized again at this point that Fig. 5 does not show the actual installation conditions in the receiving device 16, but rather only serves to understand the function of a locking and unlocking process. While the two opposite catches 26, which can be formed from nose-like projections and are viewed in the direction of the Fig. 1 seen from the plane of the drawing, protrude in and out with a circular ring body profile, create a secure locking with the cylindrical engagement point 34 on the neck part 38 of the container body, these are disengaged as soon as the ring body 28, under the influence of the actuating force on the actuating button 30, reaches its elliptical or oval unlocking position, as in Fig. 5. When the actuating force along the arrow line is removed, the ring body 28 returns from its oval shape back to the circular shape and the catches 26 move towards each other and engage in the cylindrical engagement point 34 in order to fix the dispensing container 18 in the receiving device 16. While the actuating button 30 has to be actuated by hand for an unlocking process, after removal of the dispensing container 18 the locking device 20 can again assume its Fig. 5 and a newly inserted dispensing container 18 simply pushes the two catches 26 apart when inserted until it reaches its Fig. 1, with simultaneous re-engaging by means of the two catches 26.

[0023] For receiving the dispensing container 18, the receiving device 16 has a pot-shaped receptacle 40 which is divided into individual annular sections and widens outwards in three steps from the outer diameter, with a shoulder of the dispensing container 18 being adjacent to each step, so that the step-by-step arrangement ensures secure guidance of the dispensing container 18 when it is inserted into the receiving device 16, so that it virtually automatically reaches the correct removal position for removing the cleaning agent.

[0024] At the free end of the dispensing container 18, the latter is closed by a closure cap 42, which has a releasable check valve 44, preferably in the form of a spring-loaded check valve. The check valve 44 in question is shown, for example, in Fig. 6 and a closing part 46 closes a spring-loaded removal opening 48 at the free end of the closure cap 42, which is screwed to the neck part 38 of the dispensing container 18 via a threaded section 50 in a releasable manner. The check valve 44 is held by means of individual retaining webs 52, of which Fig. 6 only a single one is shown, is held in position within the closure cap 42, wherein the individual holding webs 52 each define a fluid passage 54 between them, so that when the check valve 44 is open, the cleaning agent can flow out of the dispensing container 18 via the fluid passages 54. For this opening process, an opening device 58 in the form of a mandrel is provided on the bottom 56 of the pot-shaped receptacle 40, which opening device permanently opens the check valve 44 of the dispensing container 18 for a removal process when the dispensing container 18 is inserted into the receptacle 16.

[0025] As can be seen from the Fig. 1, an ejection device 60 is integrated in the receiving device 16, which, when the locking device 20 is actuated into the release position, at least partially removes the dispensing container 18 from the receiving device 16. The ejection device 60 in the present case has three energy storage devices which are at the same radial distance from one another, which are each loaded when the dispensing container 18 is inserted into the receiving device 16 and which, after actuating the locking device 20 and releasing the dispensing container 18, abruptly release their stored energy for an ejection process of the dispensing container 18 from the receiving device 16. The respective energy storage device is formed from a compression spring 62 which is received in the base of the receiving device 16 and has an actuating plunger 64 on the head, from which in the Fig. 1 only one specimen is shown. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the respective actuating plunger 64 rests with its free end face against the closure cap 42 under pretension when the dispensing container 18 is received. A stop mechanism (not shown in detail) prevents the respective actuating plunger 64 from inadvertently lifting off a rod-like plunger seat 66 and becoming disengaged under the action of the compression spring 62. Under the action of the ejection device 60, the dispensing container 18 is held in the receiving device 16 without play and is pressed against the catches 26 of the locking device 20 in the locked position.

[0026] The pump device 22 has a pump chamber 68 in the stem 10, the volume of which can be changed by means of a pump piston 70 which is longitudinally movable in the pump chamber 68 and which can be manually actuated by means of a linkage gear 72 integrated in the stem 10. According to the illustration according to the Fig. In Figure 1, the pump device 22 is shown in the deactivated state, and an energy storage device in the form of a compression spring 74 holds the pump piston 70 in its upper starting position shown. The compression spring 74 extends with one free end from the pump piston to the bottom of the pump chamber 68, through which a fluid outlet 76 extends. The free end of the fluid outlet 76 extends a predeterminable distance into the pump chamber 68.

[0027] On the side opposite the compression spring 74, the rod drive 72 engages the pump piston 70. The rod drive 72 has a single or multi-piece actuating rod 78, which engages with its one free end on the pump piston 70 and, as shown, is Fig. 2 with its other free end ending in a link drive 80. In the upper grip part or in the area of the handle 12 there is a hand lever 84 which can be pivoted about a pivot axis 82. If the free end of the hand lever 84 is moved by hand towards the handle 12, a lever part 86 arranged inside the stem 10 presses from above onto the link drive 80 and in this way moves the actuating rod 78 in the direction of the figures from its upper starting position into a lower actuating position, in which the pump piston 70 moves downwards against the action of the compression spring 74 and cleaning agent which is held in the pump chamber 68 is dispensed in a portion which corresponds to the volume of the pump chamber 68 via the fluid outlet 76 into a tubular fluid line 90, for example designed in the manner of a plastic hose, in the direction of the application device 14.The hand lever 84 is then released and returns to its position in the . Fig. 2. The compression spring 74 then relaxes, returning the pump piston 70 and the linkage drive 72, along with the slotted drive 80, to their original positions shown. Further pumping and discharge operations can then be initiated, as needed, via the hand lever 84.

[0028] According to the illustration after the Fig. 3, the actuating rod 78 of the linkage 72 is additionally guided in a guide 92 within the stem 10. In this respect, the stem 10 can also be formed from individual stem parts 94, 96, and 98, which are connected adjacent to one another in the usual manner by means of a detachable locking sleeve 100.

[0029] As can be seen from the Fig. 1, a dispensing or dosing valve 102 is integrated in the receiving device 16, which in the open state establishes a fluid connection between the permanently open check valve 44 of the dispensing container 18 and the pump chamber 68, the volume of which increases due to the return movement of the pump piston 70 and into the Fig. 1 as soon as the pump piston 70, in a forward movement, forwards or pushes out the amount of cleaning agent held in the pump chamber 68 to the application device 14. The dispensing valve 102 is designed as a needle valve, as shown, and in Fig. 1 in the closed position, in which the needle-shaped valve head blocks the fluid connection 104 running transversely to the longitudinal axis 32, which, when released by the valve 102, connects the pump chamber 68 with a lower annular space 105 of the cup-shaped receptacle 40. In this area, the closure cap 42 has a sealing means in the form of an O-ring 106 on its outer circumference, so that cleaning agent cannot inadvertently escape from the annular space 105 via the receptacle 40 into the environment.

[0030] As the Fig. 4 shows, the application device 14 is essentially formed from a plate-shaped wiping part receptacle 108, which is pivotably mounted in mutually perpendicular directions via a double joint 110 at the lower end of the handle 10. The actual wiping part, usually made of a microfiber material, is not shown for the sake of simplicity and can be releasably mounted in the usual way, for example by means of an adhesive fastener, with the wiping part receptacle 108 on its underside shown. The already mentioned fluid line 90 then opens with its lower end into a branch 112, which forks on both sides into a hose-shaped fluid section 114, at the free end of which a dispensing or application nozzle 116 for applying the cleaning agent to the floor is arranged. In this respect, the two dispensing nozzles 116 open in the direction of view of the Fig.4, on the free front end face of the plate-shaped application device 14, wherein the two nozzles 116 are arranged parallel to each other with respect to their respective application direction, so that a parallel spray application onto the floor takes place.

[0031] It is understood that a sales solution to be implemented may differ in detail from the embodiment described above, particularly with regard to the design of the locking device 20 with the number of notches 26 or with regard to the locking of the handle parts 94, 96, 98 to one another. Furthermore, it is advantageous if a flexible loop 118 is provided at the free end of the upper handle 12 for hanging the entire device. In any case, the cleaning device according to the invention, due to its technically improved functionality, creates a high-quality structure that facilitates long-term use.
