Floor-cleaning machine

Abstract

A floor-cleaning machine comprising a support frame ( 2 ) which is mobile on a floor, on which support frame ( 2 ) are installed at least a rotating cleaning organ ( 50 ) which can be in contact with the floor, and a motor ( 51 ) to draw the cleaning organ ( 50 ) in rotation, the rotating cleaning organ ( 50 ) comprising a cleaning element ( 53 ) made of microfibre, which is destined to come into direct contact with the floor.

1 ). A floor-cleaning machine comprising a support frame ( 2 ) which is mobile on a floor, on which support frame ( 2 ) are installed at least a rotating cleaning organ ( 50 ) which can be in contact with the floor, and a motor ( 51 ) to draw the cleaning organ ( 50 ) in rotation, characterised in that the rotating cleaning organ ( 50 ) comprises a cleaning element ( 53 ) made of microfibre, which is destined to come into direct contact with the floor. 
   
   
       2 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning element ( 53 ) comprises polymer microfibres. 
   
   
       3 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning element ( 53 ) comprises polyamide microfibres. 
   
   
       4 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning element ( 53 ) comprises polyester microfibres. 
   
   
       5 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning element ( 53 ) comprises polyamide microfibres and polyester microfibres. 
   
   
       6 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning organ ( 50 ) comprises a support disc ( 52 ), on a lower surface of which a thin flat microfibre element is attached, which microfibre element gives rise to the cleaning element ( 53 ). 
   
   
       7 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that it comprises means ( 5 ,  6 ,  56 ,  57 ,  58 ) to keep the cleaning element ( 53 ) pressed against the floor. 
   
   
       8 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 7 , characterised in that the means ( 5 ,  6 ,  56 ,  57 ,  58 ) are configured in such a way that the pressure exerted by the cleaning element ( 53 ) on the floor is between 3 kg and 15 kg. 
   
   
       9 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 7 , characterised in that the means ( 5 ,  6 ,  56 ,  57 ,  58 ) comprise at least one weight ( 5 ,  6 ) which under effect of gravity presses the cleaning element ( 53 ) against the floor, and contrasting means ( 56 ,  57 ,  58 ) to limit the pressure of the cleaning element ( 53 ) on the floor. 
   
   
       10 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that the cleaning organ ( 50 ) is attached to a rigid frame ( 3 ) which is hinged to the support frame ( 2 ) and acts as a reciprocating lever. 
   
   
       11 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 1 , characterised in that it comprises heating means ( 65 ) for heating a washing liquid to be dispensed onto the floor. 
   
   
       12 ). The floor-cleaning machine of  claim 11 , characterised in that the heating means ( 65 ) are associated to adjustment means in order to vary a temperature of the washing liquid.
