Abstract
A wet-cleaning appliance, in particular a wet mop, has a cleaning roller, which is mounted in a rotatable manner about a roller axis, and having a roller cover, which encloses the cleaning roller in the circumferential direction, at least in part, and has at least one movable covering element for optionally closing and/or releasing an opening region of the roller cover. In order to prevent residual liquid contained in the roller cover from dripping from the wet-cleaning appliance when the roller cover is opened, the movable covering element has a collecting unit, in particular a collecting container, which has a storage volume for collecting liquid that remains in the roller cover.
Claims9
A wet cleaning appliance (1), with a cleaning roller (3) mounted so that it can rotate around a roller axis (2) and a roller cover (4) that completely encloses the cleaning roller (3) in a circumferential direction during a regeneration operation of the wet cleaning appliance (1), which has at least one displaceable covering element (5) for selectively closing and opening an opening region (6) of the roller cover (4) during a wiping operation of the wet cleaning appliance (1), wherein the displaceable covering element (5) has a storage volume-providing collecting unit (8) in the form of a collecting vessel, for collecting liquid remaining behind inside of the roller cover (4), and being arranged on the displaceable covering element (5),
- wherein with regard to a closed position of the covering element (5), the collecting unit (8) is located completely above a deepest point of the closed covering element (5), and wherein the collecting unit (8) has an opening (9) that faces in a direction of the deepest point of the closed covering element (5) and precedes the storage volume in an opening direction (r) of the roller cover (4).
