A driving floor scrubber is an efficient ground cleaning equipment widely used in large areas such as shopping malls, factories, and stations. Its working principle integrates mechanical transmission, fluid mechanics, and intelligent control technology, and achieves ground garbage cleaning and cleaning through multi component collaborative operation. The following will explain the overall working principle and the specific process of garbage cleaning:

1、 The overall working principle of a driving floor scrubber

The driving floor scrubber mainly completes cleaning through a circulation system of "brush plate cleaning+sewage recovery", and its core components include:

◦ Brush disk component: responsible for rubbing the ground, loosening stains and garbage.

◦ Water absorbing scraper (suction pipe): Collect and scrub the sewage and garbage after cleaning.

◦ Water tank system: divided into a clean water tank (storing clean water) and a dirty water tank (storing dirty water).

◦ Power system: The motor drives the brush disc to rotate, and the suction motor generates negative pressure suction.

◦ Control system: Adjust parameters such as brush disc pressure and water flow size through the operation panel. Work logic:

1 The water in the clean water tank is transported through pipelines to the brush disc area, moistening the ground and diluting stains.

2 The brush disk rotates at high speed (usually 100-200 revolutions per minute) to remove dirt, dust, and small particles from the ground through mechanical friction.

3 Under negative pressure, the water absorbing scraper adheres tightly to the ground and sucks the mixture of sewage and garbage into the sewage tank, completing the cleaning of the ground.

2、 The specific process and technical details of garbage cleaning

The process of driving a floor scrubber to clean garbage can be divided into three stages: "garbage gathering → scrubbing and separation → suction collection". Different types of garbage (such as solid particles, liquid stains, and adhesive dirt) will be processed through different mechanisms:

1 Garbage gathering: collaborative operation between edge brush and main brush

◦ Edge brush (auxiliary brush):

• Located on both sides of the fuselage, it is fan-shaped or circular and rotates at a high speed at an inclined angle (with a speed of up to 300-500 revolutions per minute).

• Function: Gather garbage (such as dust, debris, hair) from corners and edges towards the main brush area, expanding the cleaning range.

◦ Main brush (central brush disk):

• Usually a circular roller brush or disc brush, covered with materials such as nylon bristles, wire brushes, or scouring pads on the surface.

• Function: By generating centrifugal force through rotation, the gathered garbage is sucked into the cleaning area below the main brush.

Case: When the floor scrubber passes over the ground, the edge brush first sweeps the dust in the corner of the wall to the center, and the main brush then gathers the dust again to ensure that the garbage is concentrated within the effective coverage area of the water absorbing scraper.

2 Brushing and separation: mechanical friction and water flow impact

◦ Mechanical friction: The bristles of the main brush come into direct contact with the ground, generating friction through high-frequency rotation to peel off adhesive stains (such as beverage residues and oil stains). For stubborn stains, some models support adjusting the brush disc pressure (through counterweights or hydraulic devices) to enhance cleaning effectiveness.

◦ Water flow impact: The water flow sprayed from the clean water tank (with a pressure of about 0.1-0.3 MPa) will form a water film in the brushing area, diluting solid waste (such as sediment)

）And soften the adhesive, reduce frictional resistance while avoiding dust.

Technical points:

◦ The brush disc material is selected according to the type of ground:

• Epoxy flooring and tiles: Use a soft nylon brush to avoid scratching the surface.

• Cement and rough ground: Use hard steel wire brushes or wear-resistant rubber brushes.

◦ Water flow control: By adjusting the water output through an electromagnetic valve, dry environments can reduce water spray, while humid environments can increase water flow.

3 Inhalation collection: negative pressure suction and solid-liquid separation

◦ The negative pressure principle of water suction scraper: When the water suction motor (usually with a power of 500-1500W) operates, it generates negative pressure, creating an airflow channel inside the water suction scraper. Sewage and garbage are "sucked" into the nozzle under atmospheric pressure and transported to the sewage tank through hoses.

◦ Solid liquid separation design:

• The sewage tank is equipped with a filter or grille to separate larger solid waste (such as cigarette butts and paper scraps) and prevent blockages in the pipeline.

• Small particles (such as dust) enter the tank with sewage and are further separated by settling or filtering systems to avoid secondary pollution.

Key parameters:

◦ Suction force: measured in "vacuum degree" (unit: kPa), usually 10-25kPa. The greater the suction force, the more thorough the sewage recovery.

◦ Water absorption scraper width: determines the width of a single cleaning (commonly 800-1200mm), and a wide design can improve work efficiency.

3、 Targeted treatment of different types of garbage

4、 Advantages and application scenarios of driving floor scrubbers

◦ Advantages:

• High efficiency: It can clean 3000-5000 square meters per hour, which is 5-10 times more efficient than manual cleaning.

• Uniform cleaning effect: The brush pressure and water flow are stable, avoiding the randomness of manual cleaning.

• Intelligence: Some models support automatic charging and path planning (such as unmanned floor scrubbers).

◦ Typical scenario:

• Commercial premises: marble/tile flooring in shopping malls, supermarkets, and airport lobbies.

• Industrial scenario: Cement/epoxy flooring in factory workshops and warehouses requires cleaning of metal debris, oil stains, etc.

• Public facilities: Large areas of ground in subway stations and sports centers, with a balance between cleanliness and anti slip treatment.

5、 Maintenance points and precautions

◦ Pour the sewage tank and clean the filter screen in a timely manner after use to avoid garbage decay, odor or pipeline blockage.

◦ Regularly check the wear of the brush disc, and replace it promptly if the bristle length is insufficient (usually recommended to replace it every 3-6 months).

◦ When used in cold regions, it is necessary to drain the remaining water in the water tank to prevent freezing and damage to components.

Through the above mechanism, the driving floor scrubber realizes the full process automation of ground cleaning, especially suitable for large-scale and high load cleaning needs

It is an important tool for modern environmental sanitation and property management.
