Raising apparatus for cleaning portion in cleaning tool and raising method for cleaning portion in cleaning tool
View Patent ↗A raising device for a cleaning part in a cleaning tool and a raising method for a cleaning part in a cleaning tool are provided. The raising device is capable of raising the fibers of the cleaning part to a state in which waste can be collected. A raising device for raising the fibers in a fiber layer constituting a cleaning part in a cleaning tool is configured by providing a blowing part which blows compressed air at the fiber layer to raise the fibers of the fiber layer.
1. A raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool, which raises fibers of the cleaning portion in the cleaning tool, comprising:
a supporting member configured to support the cleaning tool;
wherein the cleaning tool has a pocket portion comprising a first end and a second end, and wherein at least one of the first end and the second end is open; and
wherein the supporting member is configured for insertion into the pocket portion;
a blowing part configured to blow gas towards the fibers of the cleaning portion to raise the fibers;
wherein the blowing part includes a nozzle having a blowing hole for blowing the gas toward the fibers of the cleaning tool; and
wherein a gas pressure from the gas causes the cleaning portion to rotate while raising the fibers of the cleaning portion of the cleaning tool; and
a driving device;
wherein the driving device is configured to transmit a force to move the nozzle; and
wherein a concentration of the gas pressure on the fibers of the cleaning portion moves relative to the cleaning portion when the nozzle moves.
2. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 wherein the nozzle moves in a reciprocating motion.
3. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 2 wherein during the reciprocating motion of the nozzle reciprocates between a position corresponding to an upper end portion of the cleaning tool and a position corresponding to a lower end portion of the cleaning tool.
4. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 2 wherein the cleaning portion rotates about the supporting member.
5. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a detaching part wherein the cleaning tool is ejected from the supporting member by a detaching nozzle that ejects gas towards the cleaning tool.
6. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 wherein the cleaning portion rotates about the supporting member.
7. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 wherein the supporting member is a columnar member with a proximal end and a distal end.
8. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 7 wherein the pocket portion is inserted over the distal end of the columnar member.
9. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 7 wherein the supporting member has a vertical axial direction when the gas causes the cleaning portion to rotate while raising the fibers of the cleaning portion.
10. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transporting member that transports the cleaning tool; and
wherein the support member is provided on the transporting member.
11. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 10 ,
wherein the transporting section includes a belt-like member that transports the cleaning tool, a driving roller that transports the belt-like member, and a driven roller that allows the belt-like member to be overlaid thereon together with the driving roller.
12. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 11 wherein there is a plurality of supporting members.
13. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 wherein the cleaning tool is ejected from the supporting member by the gas pressure.
14. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a detaching part wherein the cleaning tool is ejected from the supporting member by a detaching nozzle that ejects gas towards the cleaning tool.
15. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 14 wherein the supporting member has a first orientation when the gas causes the cleaning portion to rotate while raising the fibers of the cleaning portion and a second orientation different than the first orientation when the cleaning tool is ejected from the supporting member.
16. The raising apparatus for a cleaning portion in a cleaning tool according to claim 1 wherein there is a plurality of supporting members.
