Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wischerplatte gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a wiper plate according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Staubwischgeräte mit einer mit einem Wischtuch, beispielsweise aus einem Vliesstoff, bezogenen Wischerplatte sind bekannt. Sie stellen eine Alternative zu den bekannten Nasswischgeräten mit Wischbezug dar und sind insbesondere zur schnellen Zwischendurch-Reinigung, insbesondere zur Beseitigung von staub- und faserförmigen Verunreinigungen gedacht. Die Oberfläche dieser Wischtücher ist so beschaffen, dass sie zur Aufnahme von Staub und kleineren Partikeln sowie faserförmigen Verunreinigungen geeignet ist. Neben Trockenwischtüchern kommen häufig auch Feuchttücher zur Anwendung, die mit einer speziellen Reinigungsflüssigkeit getränkt sind oder durch eine geeignete Einrichtung getränkt werden können. Zum Gebrauch werden die Wischtücher über die der zu reinigenden Fläche zugewandten Unterseite der Wischerplatte gespannt und an dieser mittels geeigneter Befestigungsmittel fixiert. Beim Überstreichen der zu reinigenden Fläche bleiben Staub, kleinere Partikel und Fasern an dem Wischtuch hängen. Da die Wischtücher im Gegensatz zu den dicken und saugfähigen Nasswischbezügen sehr dünn sind, ist es bekannt, zur Verbesserung des Wischverhaltens die Wischerplattenunterseite mit einem Kunststoffschaumbelag zu versehen. Dieser Kunststoffschaumbelag verbessert die Aufnahme von partikulärem Schmutz an der Wischtuchoberfläche und verringert so die Gefahr des Kratzens während des Wischvorgangs.Dust wipers with a wiper plate, for example made of a nonwoven, related wiper plate are known. They represent an alternative to the known wet wiping devices with mop cover and are intended in particular for fast interim cleaning, in particular for the removal of dust and fibrous impurities. The surface of these wipes is such that it is suitable for absorbing dust and small particles as well as fibrous contaminants. In addition to dry wipes, wet wipes are also often used Application impregnated with a special cleaning fluid or soaked by a suitable device. For use, the wipes are stretched over the underside of the wiper plate facing the surface to be cleaned and fixed thereto by means of suitable fastening means. As you sweep over the area to be cleaned, dust, smaller particles, and fibers stick to the wipe. Since the wipes, in contrast to the thick and absorbent wet mop covers are very thin, it is known to provide the wiper plate underside with a plastic foam pad to improve the wiping behavior. This plastic foam pad improves particulate soiling on the wipe surface and thus reduces the risk of scratching during the wiping process.

Fest haftende lokale Verschmutzung können mit diesen Wischgeräten nur mit großen Kraftaufwand gelöst und aufgenommen werden.Firmly adhering local soiling can only be solved and absorbed with great effort by means of these wipers.

Aus der FR 2 733 895 ist ein Schwamm mit einer Mehrfunktions-Struktur bekannt. Der vorbekannte Schwamm umfasst auf der der zu reinigenden Fläche zugewandten Seite Abschnitte aus dem Schwamm-Material und Abschnitte mit einer abrasiv wirkenden Oberfläche. Die Oberfläche der abrasiv wirkenden Abschnitte ist gegenüber den Schwamm-Abschnitten nach oben hin versetzt angeordnet, so dass die abrasiven Abschnitte nicht mit der zu reinigenden Fläche in Berührung kommen wenn kein Druck auf den Schwamm ausgeübt wird. Durch Ausübung von Druck auf den Schwamm werden die Schwamm-Abschnitte komprimiert und die abrasiv wirkenden Abschnitte kommen mit der zu reinigenden Fläche in Eingriff.From the FR 2 733 895 is a sponge with a multi-functional structure known. The prior art sponge comprises on the side facing the surface to be cleaned portions of the sponge material and portions having an abrasive surface. The surface of the abrasive portions is offset upwardly from the sponge portions so that the abrasive portions do not come into contact with the surface to be cleaned when no pressure is applied to the sponge. By applying pressure to the sponge, the sponge sections are compressed and the abrasive portions engage the surface to be cleaned.

Die abrasiven Abschnitte bestehen aus einem festen und rauen Material. Die Reinigungswirkung des Schwamms resultiert aus dem Lösen von Verschmutzungen durch die abrasiven Abschnitte und der Aufnahme der gelösten Schmutzpartikel durch die Schwamm-Abschnitte. Das Funktionsprinzip des abrasiven Materials besteht aus der Scheuerwirkung der rauen Oberfläche.The abrasive sections consist of a solid and rough material. The cleaning effect of the sponge results from the release of dirt through the abrasive sections and the inclusion of the dissolved dirt particles through the sponge sections. The functional principle of the abrasive material consists of the abrasive action of the rough surface.

Das Funktionsprinzips des oben beschriebenen Schwamms ist nicht für die Verwendung in Verbindung mit Putztüchern geeignet, da zum einen durch die scheuernden Abschnitte die Putztücher schnell verschleißen und zum anderen durch die Putztücher die abrasiv wirkende, scheuernde Schicht wirkungslos ist, da die abrasive Oberfläche nicht mit der zu reinigenden Oberfläche in Eingriff kommt. Die Schwamm-Abschnitte können bei Verwendung von Putztüchern keine Schmutzpartikel aufnehmen, da diese ebenfalls nicht die zu reinigenden Oberfläche direkt berühren.The operating principle of the sponge described above is not suitable for use in conjunction with cleaning cloths, as on the one hand by the abrasive portions wear the cloths quickly and on the other by the cleaning cloths the abrasive abrasive layer is ineffective, since the abrasive surface does not interfere with the to be cleaned surface engages. The sponge sections can not pick up dirt particles when using cleaning cloths, since they also do not directly touch the surface to be cleaned.

Aus der US 4,852,210 ist eine Wischplatte zur Aufnahme eines auswechselbaren Wischtuchs mit einer plattenförmigen Trägerplatte bekannt. Die Trägerplatte ist auf einer Seite mit einem Kissen versehen, wobei in den Eckbereichen Aussparungen in den Kissen vorgesehen sind, in denen Greifer mit Borsten angeordnet sind. Diese Greifer mit Borsten sind so angeordnet, dass sie nicht über das Kissen hinausstehen und dienen der Fixierung eines Wischtuchs.From the US 4,852,210 is a mop plate for receiving a replaceable wipe with a plate-shaped support plate known. The support plate is provided on one side with a cushion, wherein in the corner areas recesses are provided in the cushion, in which grippers are arranged with bristles. These grippers with bristles are arranged so that they do not protrude beyond the cushion and serve to fix a wipe.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs beschriebene Wischerplatte so weiterzuentwickeln, dass auch fest haftende Verschmutzungen lösbar und aufnehmbar sind.The invention has for its object to further develop the wiper plate described above so that even firmly adhering contaminants are releasable and receivable.

Diese Aufgabe wurde erfindungsgemäß mit einer Wischerplatte mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object has been achieved with a wiper plate with the features of claim 1.

Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.In advantageous embodiments, the dependent claims relate.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe weist der Schaumstoffkörper zumindest eine Ausnehmung auf, in der zumindest ein mit der Trägerplatte verbundener nichtelastischer Stempel angeordnet ist, der eine Länge aufweist die gleich oder geringer ist als die Höhe des Schaumstoffkörpers im nicht-beanspruchten Zustand und dass der Stempel durch Ausübung von Druck auf die Trägerplatte und den komprimierten Schaumstoffkörper mit der der Wischfläche abgewandten Seite des Wischtuches mindestens in Berührung bringbar ist.To solve the problem, the foam body has at least one recess in which at least one non-elastic die connected to the carrier plate is arranged, which has a length which is equal to or less than the height of the foam body in the unclaimed state and that the punch by exercise from pressure on the carrier plate and the compressed foam body with the side facing away from the wiping surface of the wipe is at least brought into contact.

Die Stempel der Trägerplatte haben keine Scheuerwirkung, sondern verbessern das Wischergebnis bei starker Verschmutzung allein durch eine höhere Anpresskraft der Stempel auf die zu reinigende Oberfläche aufgrund einer kleineren wirksamen Fläche. Es ist daher nicht notwendig, die abrasive Fläche mit einer scheuernden Oberfläche zu versehen, was die Anwendung der Wischerplatte in Verbindung mit Wischtüchern unmöglich machen würde. Die Wischtücher müssen aus dem oben genannten Grund ebenfalls nicht mit einer scheuernden Oberfläche versehen sein. Der Einsatz von Wischtüchern mit wenigstens bereichsweiser scheuernder Oberfläche ist allerdings nicht ausgeschlossen.The stamp of the support plate have no scouring effect, but improve the wiping result in heavy pollution solely by a higher contact pressure of the stamp on the surface to be cleaned due to a smaller effective area. It is therefore not necessary to provide the abrasive surface with a scouring surface, which would make the use of the wiper plate in conjunction with wipes impossible. The wipes must not be provided with a scouring surface for the above reason also. However, the use of wipes with at least partially abrasive surface is not excluded.

Die Stempel können 0 bis 10 mm kürzer als die Höhe des Schaumstoffkörpers im unbelasteten Zustand sein. Bei diesen Abständen kann der Einsatz der abrasiv wirkenden Stempel bei wenig Kraftaufwand dosiert werden.The punches can be 0 to 10 mm shorter than the height of the foam body in the unloaded state. At these intervals, the use of the abrasive punch can be dosed with little effort.

Das Verhältnis der Summe über alle Querschnittsflächen der Stempel zur Gesamtfläche der Wischerplatte kann zwischen 1:10 und 1:100 betragen. Bei diesen Flächenverhältnissen ist die Wirkung der Stempel besonders gut bei gleichzeitig großer Auflagefläche in des Schaumstoffkörpers in unbelastetem Zustand.The ratio of the sum across all cross-sectional areas of the punches to the total area of the wiper plate can be between 1:10 and 1: 100. In these area ratios, the effect of the stamp is particularly good at the same time large contact surface in the foam body in unloaded condition.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann das Verhältnis 1:50 betragen. Ein Verhältnis von 1:50 entspricht dem Verhältnis der Summe der Querschnittsflächen aller Borsten zur Gesamt-Reinigungsfläche eines klassischen Schrubbers, d.h. bei Betätigung der strukturierten Funktionsfläche wird in etwa der gleiche Anpressdruck auf die zu reinigende Fläche wie bei Verwendung eines Schrubbers erzielt.In an advantageous embodiment, the ratio can be 1:50. A ratio of 1:50 corresponds to the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of all bristles to the total cleaning surface of a conventional scrubber, ie when the structured functional surface is actuated, approximately the same contact pressure is achieved on the surface to be cleaned as when using a scrubber.

Die Stempel können materialeinheitlich und einstückig mit der Trägerplatte verbunden sein. Die Herstellung des Wischgerätes ist dadurch einfach und preiswert, da die Anzahl der Fertigungsschritte reduziert wird.The punches can be connected in the same material and in one piece with the carrier plate. The production of the wiper device is thereby simple and inexpensive, since the number of manufacturing steps is reduced.

Die Stempel können form- oder stoffschlüssig mit der Trägerplatte verbunden sind. Durch die getrennte Herstellung von Stempel und Trägerplatte, können die Geometrien der Stempel geändert werden, ohne dass es einer Änderung des Herstellungswerkzeuges für die Wischerplatte bedarf. Es ist während der Fertigung und später möglich, verschiedene Formen von Stempeln zu montieren.The punches can be positively or materially connected to the carrier plate. The separate production of punch and carrier plate, the geometries of the stamp can be changed without requiring a change in the production tool for the wiper plate. It is possible during production and later to assemble different forms of punches.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Stempel als Rippen ausgebildet sein die sich in Längsrichtung der Trägerplatte erstrecken. Durch die Rippen wird eine linienförmige Anpressung auf die zu reinigende Fläche erreicht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the stamp may be formed as ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier plate. By the ribs a linear contact pressure is achieved on the surface to be cleaned.

Die Rippen können sich über die gesamte Breite der Trägerplatte erstrecken. Dadurch kann die gesamte Längserstreckung der Trägerplatte abrasiv wirksam genutzt werden.The ribs may extend over the entire width of the carrier plate. As a result, the entire longitudinal extent of the carrier plate can be used effectively in an abrasive manner.

Die Rippen können sich über mehr als 50% der Längserstreckung der Trägerplatte erstrecken. Durch eine kleinere wirksame Fläche der Rippen kann die abrasive Wirkung durch die größere Anpressung erhöht werden.The ribs may extend over more than 50% of the longitudinal extent of the carrier plate. By a smaller effective area of the ribs, the abrasive effect can be increased by the greater contact pressure.

Die Rippen können unter einem Winkel, vorzugsweise von etwa 45°, zu den Seitenrändern der Wischerplatte angeordnet sein. Dadurch lässt sich ein Reinigungsergebnis erzielen, weiches weitgehend unabhängig von der Bewegungsrichtung der Wischerplatte ist.The ribs may be disposed at an angle, preferably about 45 °, to the side edges of the wiper plate. As a result, a cleaning result can be achieved, which is largely independent of the direction of movement of the wiper plate.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Stempel als Stifte ausgebildet sein, die über die gesamte Unterseite oder nur teilweise im Bereich der Handhabe der Trägerplatte gleichmäßig verteilt sein können. Durch die stiftartigen Vorsprünge wird eine punktartige Anpressung auf die zu reinigende Fläche erreicht, die insbesondere bei starker Verschmutzung auf kleineren Flächen vorteilhaft ist.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the stamp may be formed as pins which may be evenly distributed over the entire bottom or only partially in the region of the handle of the support plate. The pin-like projections a point-like contact pressure is achieved on the surface to be cleaned, which is particularly advantageous for heavy soiling on smaller areas.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Schaumstoffkörper aus einem polymeren organischen Werkstoff bestehen. Schaumstoffe aus polymerem organischen Werkstoff nehmen keine Feuchtigkeit auf, wodurch seine Eigenschaften bei Feucht- und Trockenreinigung gleich bleiben.In one embodiment of the invention, the foam body may consist of a polymeric organic material. Foams made of polymeric organic material absorb no moisture, which means that its properties remain the same during wet and dry cleaning.

Der Schaumstoffkörper kann durch einen offenporigen Schaum gebildet sein. Dadurch kann der Schaumstoffkörper Reinigungsflüssigkeit speichern, die bei Kompression des Schaumstoffkörpers an das Wischtuch abgegeben werden kann.The foam body may be formed by an open-pore foam. As a result, the foam body store cleaning liquid that can be delivered to the wipe when the foam body is compressed.

Der Schaumstoffkörper kann auf der der zu reinigen Fläche zugewandten Oberfläche des Schaumstoffkörpers zumindest in einem Teilbereich mit erhaben vorstehenden Leisten versehen sein, die in Richtung ihres Verlaufs Bereiche einer voneinander abweichenden Höhe haben. Durch die Erhöhungen werden ebenfalls größere Anpresskräfte erzeugt, wodurch die abrasive Wirkung der Wischerplatte nochmals vergrößert wird. Durch die Erhöhungen des Schaumstoffkörpers kann eine Wischerplatte mit zwei Zonen mit unterschiedlich starker Reinigungswirkung verwirklicht werden, zum einen die Stempel und zum anderen die Erhöhungen der Leisten.The foam body may be provided on the surface of the foam body facing the surface to be cleaned at least in a partial region with raised projecting strips, which have regions of a different height in the direction of their course. As a result of the elevations, larger contact forces are also generated, which further increases the abrasive effect of the wiper plate. Due to the elevations of the foam body, a wiper plate with two zones with different degrees of cleaning effect can be realized, on the one hand the punches and on the other hand, the increases of the strips.

Die der zu reinigenden Fläche zugewandte Fläche der Wischerplatte kann konvex gewölbt sein. Durch die konvexe Wölbung wird durch das Abrollen der Wischerplatte bei Vor- und Zurückbewegen eine Aufnahme von Verschmutzung über die gesamte Fläche ermöglicht.The area of the wiper plate facing the surface to be cleaned may be convexly curved. By the convex curvature is by rolling the Wiper plate during forward and backward movement a recording of contamination over the entire surface allows.

Die Trägerplatte kann aus polymerem Werkstoff bestehen. Elemente aus polymeren Werkstoffe sind einfach herzustellen und polymere Werkstoffe sind preiswert.The carrier plate may consist of polymeric material. Elements made of polymeric materials are easy to manufacture and polymeric materials are inexpensive.
