Abstract

The robot has an elongated chassis with two edge-side arranged wheels (11), and two rows of cleaning rollers (9) arranged parallel to each other in a driving direction. A dual water tank has a clean water tank and a polluted water tank and lies longitudinally over the rollers. Two electric motors (1) are used as a drive for the wheels, and electronic modules (5-7) are arranged between the clean water tank and the polluted water tank for driving the wheels and for automatically controlling the robot. An independent claim is also included for a method for drying and scrubbing resin residues in floors of a sports hall.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der ErfindungPreferred embodiments of the invention

Der Reinigungsroboter, der die Form eines Längsschiebers hat, fährt die Sporthalle in Längsrichtung auf und ab. Der Reinigungsroboter pendelt, er putzt bei der Hin- und Retourfahrt. Die Breite (in Achsrichtung) des Reinigungsroboters wird mittels Modulen (ein Modul kann von 2 m bis 4 m betragen) an die beliebige Bodenfläche resp. Hallengröße angepasst und diese kann von 3 m bis 3000 m reichen.The cleaning robot, which has the shape of a longitudinal slide, moves the sports hall up and down in the longitudinal direction. The cleaning robot commutes, he cleans during the round trip. The width (in the axial direction) of the cleaning robot is by means of modules (a module can be from 2 m to 4 m) to the arbitrary floor surface resp. Hall size adjusted and this can range from 3 m to 3000 m.

Der Reinigungsroboter mit einer bevorzugten Arbeitsbreite von 3 Metern wird hier explizit in den Vordergrund gestellt. Die Länge (in Fahrtrichtung) misst 0,3 bis 0,5 m. Die Höhe des Reinigungsroboters wird durch die Größe der beiden aussenseitig angeordneten Räder 11, die in zwei Reihen in Fahrtrichtung hintereinander angeordneten parallelen Reinigungswalzen 9 und dem über den Walzen 9 längsliegenden Doppelwassertank, nämlich dem Reinigungswassertank 2 und dem Schmutzwassertank 3 bestimmt und liegt im Bereich von 0,3 bis 0,7 m. Als Antrieb für die Fahrtenbewegung, sowie für die Reinigungstechnik dienen zwei den beiden Ränder 11 zugeordnete Elektromotoren 1. Diese können Netz- (U= 230V) oder Akkubetrieben (U= 12 / 24 / 48 V) sein. Der Reinigungsroboter wischt und fegt vollautomatisch nass oder trocken ohne manuelle Bedienung. Bei der Nassreinigung wird das Reinigungswasser über nicht dargestellte Kanäle gleichmässig über den Walzen 9 verteilt und gegebenenfalls via Düsen auf den zu reinigenden Boden aufgesprüht. Das Schmutzwasser wird während der Fahrt automatisch in den längsliegenden Tank 3 aufgenommen.The cleaning robot with a preferred working width of 3 meters is explicitly emphasized here. The length (in the direction of travel) measures 0.3 to 0.5 m. The height of the robot cleaner is determined by the size of the two outer wheels 11, arranged in two rows in the direction of succession parallel cleaning rollers 9 and over the rollers 9 longitudinal double water tank, namely the cleaning water tank 2 and the recovery tank 3 and is in the range of 0 , 3 to 0.7 m. As drive for the travel movement, as well as for the cleaning technology serve two the two edges 11 associated electric motors 1. These can be mains (U = 230V) or battery operated (U = 12/24/48 V). The cleaning robot wipes and sweeps fully automatically wet or dry without manual operation. In the wet cleaning, the cleaning water is distributed over channels not shown evenly over the rollers 9 and optionally sprayed via nozzles on the floor to be cleaned. The dirty water is automatically absorbed in the longitudinal tank 3 while driving.

Die Geschwindigkeit ist variabel und hängt mit dem Reinigungsprogramm resp. Reinigungsverfahren zusammen. Das entspricht einer Flächenleistung von z. B. ca. 350 - 400 m2 pro Minute je nach Hallenbreite und neu erfundenem Reinigungsverfahren. Der Reinigungsroboter schaltet bei der Kollision mit unvorhergesehen Hindernissen sofort aus (Sicherheitstoppsschalter mittels Sensoren oder durch Fremdkontakt 8). Er kann auch ferngesteuert von außen gestoppt werden. Da der Reinigungsroboter langsam fährt, ist keine zusätzliche Bremse notwendig.The speed is variable and depends on the cleaning program resp. Cleaning process together. This corresponds to a surface area of z. B. about 350 - 400 m 2 per minute depending on the width of the hall and newly invented cleaning process. The cleaning robot switches on in the event of a collision unforeseen obstacles immediately (safety stop switch via sensors or external contact 8). It can also be stopped remotely from the outside. As the cleaning robot moves slowly, no additional brake is necessary.

Für die Sicherheit gelten die Vorschriften der Internationalen Berufsverbände, TÜV, OIN 18032, Teil 2 (OE), CEN-Normen (EU) und die Vorschriften der Suva (CH) und Empfehlungen der Bfu (CH).For safety, the regulations of the International Professional Associations, TÜV, OIN 18032, Part 2 (OE), CEN Standards (EU) and the regulations of Suva (CH) and recommendations of the Bfu (CH) apply.

Sichtbar ist der Radschutz 4 am Fahrgestell 10 des Reinigungsroboters. Durch den modularen Aufbau und die Schnittstellen lässt er sich in allen variablen Längen bauen. Die Konstruktion in Achsrichtung ist starr. Die Konstruktion in der Ebene ist flexibel, um den Anpressdruck des Moduls mit der Reinigungswalze 9 z.B. mit Faserpelz (mit Schnellverschluss montiert, z.B. Klettverschluss) oder rotierenden Bürstenwalzen, resp. Padwalzen (Spindelmäherprinzip) besser zu steuern, weil es verschiedene Sporthallenböden gibt (siehe OIN 18032, Teil 2). Der Anpressdruck kann eingestellt werden. Die Navigation 7 des Reinigungsroboters geschieht berührungslos (ohne Führungselemente) über Ultraschall oder Lasertechnik und eigens dazu entwickelter Steuerungssoftware. Die am Reinigungsroboter angebrachten elektronischen Module 5, 6, 7, (Rechner) werden sowohl für den Antrieb der Räder 11 und den Wasserverbrauch sowie für die verschiedenen Datenflüsse gebraucht, welche mittels Funk übertragen werden.Visible is the wheel guard 4 on the chassis 10 of the cleaning robot. Its modular structure and interfaces allow it to be built in all variable lengths. The construction in the axial direction is rigid. The in-plane construction is flexible in order to reduce the contact pressure of the module with the cleaning roller 9, e.g. with fiber fur (with quick release fastened, for example Velcro fastener) or rotating brush rollers, resp. Pad rollers (Spindelmäherprinzip) better control, because there are various sports floors (see OIN 18032, Part 2). The contact pressure can be adjusted. The navigation 7 of the cleaning robot is non-contact (without guide elements) via ultrasound or laser technology and specially developed control software. The attached to the robot cleaner electronic modules 5, 6, 7, (computer) are used both for the drive of the wheels 11 and the water consumption and for the various data flows, which are transmitted by radio.

Außer der Montage von laser-, und ultraschallunterstützenden Reflektoren resp. Hilfsmittel für die Navigation braucht es keine baulichen Veränderungen in der Sporthalle. Der Reinigungsroboter liegt im Ruhestand in einer Be- und Entladungsbox (Roboterbox) im Geräteraum der Turnhalle, ohne Gefahr für die Benützer der Sporthalle. In der Nähe des Wartungsunterstandes (Roboterbox) kann ein flexibler Kaltwasseranschluss mit Reinigungsmittel - Dosierungsanlage mit Schlauch und ein flexibler Abwasseranschluss z. B. Abwasserschlauch mit Wasserpumpe zum nächsten Kanalisationsanschluss angebracht werden, um den Serviceprozess zu begünstigen. In speziellen baulichen Ausnahmesituationen kann die Roboterbox auch an der Hallendecke angebracht werden. Für diesen Fall gelten erhöhte Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, resp. die Vorschriften der Baubehörden, Bauvorschriften, Berufsverbände, TÜV, OIN-Normen (OE), CEN-Normen (EU) und die Vorschriften der Suva (CH) und Empfehlungen der Bfu (CH).Except the installation of laser and ultrasound supporting reflectors resp. Tools for navigation need no structural changes in the sports hall. The cleaning robot is retired in a loading and unloading box (robot box) in the equipment room of the gym, without danger to the users of the sports hall. In the vicinity of the maintenance shelter (robotic box), a flexible cold water connection with detergent - dosing system with hose and a flexible waste water connection, eg. B. Sewage hose with water pump to the nearest sewer connection are attached to favor the service process. In special structural exceptional situations, the robot box can also be attached to the hall ceiling. In this case, increased safety precautions, resp. the regulations of the building authorities, building codes, professional associations, TÜV, OIN standards (OE), CEN standards (EU) and the regulations of the Suva (CH) and recommendations of the Bfu (CH).

Nicht nur, dass der neue Reinigungsroboter und das mit diesem durchführbare Verfahren betriebswirtschaftlich sehr interessant ist und damit gewerblich anwendbar ist, es ist neu, und löst die Probleme der Reinigung in Sporthallen mit Mitteln der neusten Technik innovativ und in einem Arbeitsablauf resp. Arbeitsverfahren. So wird es bei der Verhinderung von Unfällen (durch die vermehrte ev. tägliche Nassreinigung bildet sich weniger Mikrostaub auf dem Hallenboden , welcher einen rutschigen Film darstellt), in Sporthallen in naher Zukunft eine wesentliche und wichtige Rolle spielen.Not only that the new cleaning robot and the process practicable with this is economically very interesting and thus commercially applicable, it is new, and solves the problems of cleaning in sports halls with the latest technology innovative and in a workflow resp. Working methods. So it is in the prevention of accidents (by the increased ev. Daily wet cleaning forms less micro-dust on the hall floor, which is a slippery film), in sports halls in the near future play an essential and important role.

Der Hallenwart / Hauswart kann qualifizierteren Arbeiten nachgehen, als sich mit dem täglichen Wischen oder dem wöchentlichen Nassreinigen des Sporthallenbodens zu beschäftigen. Durch die hohen Reinigungsintervalle des Reinigungsroboters entfallen sogar die Grundreinigungen des Hallenbodens. Dadurch dass alle relevanten elektronischen Daten für Betrieb, Service und die Verrechnung der Kosten (Autobilling) mit angebrachten Rechenmodulen (Rechner) mittels Funk gegenseitig übertragen werden können (Reinigungsroboter zu Funkempfänger z.B. Firmenzentrale und zurück), führt dieses neue innovative Serviceverfahren zu maßgeblichen weiteren betriebswirtschaftlichen Einsparungen und technischen Verbesserungen.The hallkeeper / caretaker can perform more qualified work than dealing with the daily wiping or weekly wet cleaning of the sports hall floor. Due to the high cleaning intervals of the cleaning robot even eliminates the basic cleaning of the hall floor. The fact that all relevant electronic data for operation, service and the billing of the costs (Autobilling) with attached computing modules (computers) can be mutually transmitted by radio (cleaning robot to radio receiver eg head office and back), this new innovative service process leads to significant additional business savings and technical improvements.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Variante ist das erfindungsgemässen Reinigungsverfahren und der Reinigungsroboter, nachfolgend auf Einrichtung genannt, für das Entfernen von Harzrückständen auf Sporthallenböden vorgesehen. Mit der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung können mit einer geringfügigen Anpassung automatisch freistehende, grosse Flächen, insbesondere Sport-hallenflächen von Harzflecken autonom und ohne Personal in der nicht benützten Zeit (Nacht) gereinigt werden.In a particularly preferred variant, the cleaning method according to the invention and the cleaning robot, referred to below as equipment, are provided for removing resin residues on sports hall floors. With the inventive device can automatically with a slight adjustment free-standing, large areas, in particular sports areas of Harzflecken autonomously and without personnel in the unused time (night) to be cleaned.

Ausgangslage:Background:

Das grosse Problem der Harzverunreinigung in Sporthallen entsteht generell durch den Spitzenhandballbetrieb, der das Harz für die bessere Haftung der Hand auf dem Handball benötigt. Leider sind Harze im Spitzenhandball nicht mehr wegzudenken. Das Fazit ist, dass es überall wo Handball gespielt wird, sehr stark mit Harz verschmutzte Sporthallenböden gibt, das mit einer konventionellen Nassreinigung (mit normalen wasserlöslichen Reinigungsmitteln) nicht vom Sportboden entfernt werden kann. Harze können nur mit wasserunlöslichen zum Teil giftigen und aggressiven Reinigungsmitteln wie z.B. terpentinhaltigen und ähnlichen Lösungsmitteln entfernt werden. Diese Produkte sind in der Handhabung wie sie im momentanen Reinigungsprozess angewendet werden gesundheitsschädlich (Hallenwart und Reinigungspersonal). Es gibt verschiedene Harze und Harzanwendungen (Kunstharze in Sprayform oder Kunst- und Baumharze als Paste). Je länger Harze auf dem Sporthallenboden haften, umso schwieriger wird das Entfernen dieses gefährlichen und verhärteten Schmutzteiles resp. Fleckens. Noch schlimmer als nur die Verschmutzung des Bodens, ist die Tatsache, dass Harze die gefährliche Eigenschaft haben, das Gleitverhalten des Sporthallenbodens punktuell entscheidend zu verändern. Der Harzflecken auf dem Sporthallenboden bremst den Sportler ungewollt rapid ab. Schwere Sportunfälle sind dadurch vorprogrammiert und auch an der Tagesordnung. Diese gefährliche Erkenntnis wird auch von der Schweizerischen Unfallversicherungsanstalt und der Schweizerischen Beratungsstelle für Unfallverhütung bestätigt. Die Ist-Reinigung bei einer starken Verschmutzung mit Harzflecken am Boden läuft sehr personalintensiv und gesundheitsschädlich für das Reinigungspersonal ab. Erschwerend kommt noch dazu, dass die Dreifach-Sporthallen dann für mindestens 1-2 Tage gesperrt werden müssen. Dies führt zu zusätzlichen Belegungsproblemen mit Schulen und Vereinen. Denn das Entfernen kann nur in mühseliger Handarbeit mit Einscheibenmaschinen und giftigen Lösungsmitteln und unter sehr hohen Personalkosten (mindestens 2-4 Manntagen) erfolgen. Normale Fegsaugautomaten eignen sich hier nicht mehr. Das grosse Problem der Harzreinigung in Sporthallen ist mit dem heutigen Stand der Technik nicht gelöst und unwirtschaftlich. Es bestehen für Sportler wie auch für das Reinigungspersonal erhebliche gesundheitliche Risiken. Hier ist ein neues Verfahren zum entfernen des Harzes ohne diese genannten Probleme längstens fällig.The big problem of resin contamination in sports halls is generally created by the top handball operation, which requires the resin for better grip of the hand on the handball. Unfortunately, resins are indispensable in top handball. The conclusion is that wherever handball is played, there is a lot of heavily sports hall floor soiled with resin that can not be removed from the sports floor with conventional wet cleaning (with normal water-soluble cleaners). Resins can only be removed with water-insoluble, sometimes toxic and aggressive cleaning agents such as terpentine-containing and similar solvents. These products are in the handling as they are used in the current cleaning process harmful to health (warden and cleaning staff). There are various resins and resin applications (synthetic resins in spray form or artificial resins and tree resins as a paste). The longer resins adhere to the sports hall floor, the more difficult the removal of this dangerous and hardened dirt part resp. Patch. Even worse than just soiling the floor is the fact that resins have the dangerous property of modifying the sliding behavior of the sports hall floor at certain points. The Harzflecken on the sports hall floor brakes the athlete unintentionally rapid. Heavy sports accidents are thus inevitable and also on the agenda. This dangerous finding is also confirmed by the Swiss Accident Insurance Institute and the Swiss Accident Prevention Service. The actual cleaning with a heavy contamination with resin spots on the floor is very labor-intensive and harmful to the cleaning staff. To make matters worse, the triple sports halls then have to be closed for at least 1-2 days. this leads to additional occupancy problems with schools and clubs. Because the removal can be done only in laborious manual work with single-disc machines and toxic solvents and under very high staff costs (at least 2-4 man-days). Normal vacuuming machines are no longer suitable here. The big problem of resin cleaning in sports halls is not solved with the current state of the art and uneconomical. There are significant health risks for athletes as well as for the cleaning staff. Here is a new method for removing the resin without these problems mentioned at the latest due.

Mit dem besonders bevorzugten Verfahren und der besonder bevorzugten Einrichtung kann die geschilderte Problematik technisch einwandfrei gelöst werden. Die Vorraussetzung für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Harzreinigung ist ein Reinigungsroboter wie andhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 beschrieben.With the particularly preferred method and the particularly preferred device, the described problem can be solved technically perfect. The prerequisite for the successful implementation of the resin cleaning is a cleaning robot like the hand FIGS. 1 to 4 described.

Spezifikation und Ablauf der Harzreinigung mittels eines ReinigungsrobotersSpecification and procedure of resin cleaning by means of a cleaning robot 1. Vorreinigung1. Pre-cleaning

Der Hauswart lässt nach der letzten Turnstunde am Abend den Reinigungsroboter in der Halle eine normale Nassreinigung (mit der Bürstenwalze) durchführen, damit alle wässerlöslichen Verschmutzungen und allfälligen Haare und andere Schmutzpartikel aufgenommen werden können. Dies ist sehr wichtig und muss vorher zwingend ausgeführt werden, damit keine unnötigen zusätzlichen Verschmutzungen den Fliess belegen und ihn somit in seiner Aufnahmefähigkeit beinträchtigen.After the last gymnastic session in the evening, the caretaker has the cleaning robot in the hall do a normal wet cleaning (with the brush roller), so that all water-soluble soiling and any hair and other dirt particles can be absorbed. This is very important and must be carried out beforehand, so that no unnecessary additional contaminants occupy the flow and thus interfere with its absorption capacity.

2. Umbau und Einstellung des Reinigungsroboters zur Harzreinigung2. Modification and adjustment of the cleaning robot for resin cleaning

Der Hauswart macht die normale tägliche Wartung am Reinigungsroboter. Er entleert den Reinigungsroboter (Schmutz- und Sauberwassertank) vollständig. Dazu wird der Roboter vorher über die Fahrräder pneumatisch oder mechanisch angehoben und die Fahrräder werden mittels Bremsen fixiert. Jetzt umhüllt er die beiden Bürstenwalzen mit einem rauen und dafür speziell entwickelten Einwegfliess. Dieser hat an beiden Enden einen Längsklettverschluss. Die Montage des Einwegfliesses auf die vorhandene Bürstenwalze am Reinigungsroboter geschieht durch gleichmässiges Aufrollen in Fahrtrichtung der Bürstenwalzen. Dies verhindert ein Abrollen beim Reinigungsvorgang. Damit die beiden Bürstenwalzen nicht für die Fliessmontage ganz demontiert werden müssen, werden die Bürstenwalzen in einen Leerlauf geschaltet. Nach der Montage des Fliesses wird der Reinigungsroboter wieder in seine ursprüngliche Position geführt. Jetzt wird der Bürstendruck mittels Luftkompressors oder mechanischer Spindel und Steuerung nochmals auf den gewünschten Wert für die Harzreinigung erhöht! Die Bürstenumdrehungen können auch auf ein berechnetes Maximum gesteuert werden, da ja kein Schmutzwasser auf die Ableittrommel gespritzt werden muss! Es kann als eine kleine Überdehnung der durch den Fliess geschützten Kunststoffborsten erfolgen. Das hat zur Folge, dass der Reinigungsroboter schneller und kräftiger reinigen kann. Der Druck und die Geschwindigkeit werden elektronisch über die manuelle Steuerung "Harzreinigung" ausgelöst.The caretaker does the normal daily maintenance on the cleaning robot. It completely empties the cleaning robot (dirty and clean water tank). For this the robot will be over before the bicycles are raised pneumatically or mechanically and the bicycles are fixed by means of brakes. Now he covers the two brush rollers with a rough and specially developed one-way flow. This has at both ends a Velcro closure. The assembly of the disposable flow on the existing brush roller on the cleaning robot is done by uniform rolling in the direction of travel of the brush rollers. This prevents unrolling during the cleaning process. So that the two brush rollers do not have to be completely disassembled for the flow assembly, the brush rollers are switched to idle. After installation of the flow, the cleaning robot is returned to its original position. Now the brush pressure is increased again by means of air compressor or mechanical spindle and control to the desired value for the resin cleaning! The brush revolutions can also be controlled to a calculated maximum, since no dirty water must be sprayed onto the discharge drum! It can be done as a small overstretching of protected by the flow plastic bristles. As a result, the cleaning robot can clean faster and stronger. The pressure and speed are triggered electronically via the manual "resin cleaning" control.

3. Befüllen des Reinigungsroboters mit Lösungsmitteln3. Fill the cleaning robot with solvents

Nachdem am Reinigungsroboter der Walzendruck und die beiden Klettfliesse montiert resp. eingestellt worden sind, wird der Reinigungstank mit dem speziellen Harzreinigungsmittel (Lösungsmittel) befüllt! Die Dosierung resp. Sprühmenge ist im Programm enthalten. Sie ist in Abhängigkeit des Harzproduktes und der Zeitdauer der Haftung auf dem Turnhallenboden! Hier gibt es mindestens drei Reinigungsprogrammierungen (kurz, mittel oder lang). Es kann sein, dass das Produkt unverdünnt (100%) angewendet wird oder in einer Konzentration von ca. 10-50 %, je nach Art der Verschmutzung und Situation vor Ort!After the cleaning robot, the roller pressure and the two Velcro tiles mounted resp. have been set, the cleaning tank is filled with the special resin cleaner (solvent)! The dosage resp. Spray quantity is included in the program. It is dependent on the resin product and the duration of adhesion on the gym floor! There are at least three cleaning programs (short, medium or long). It may be that the product is used undiluted (100%) or in a concentration of about 10-50%, depending on the type of pollution and situation on site!

4. Durchführung der Reinigung4. Carrying out the cleaning

Bei der Harzreinigung wird die Verschmutzung resp. das gelöste Harz an ein Austausch- resp. Einwegfliess gebunden. Die Geschwindigkeit ist variabel und hängt mit dem Reinigungsprogramm resp. Reinigungsverfahren zusammen. Die Programmierung Stufe 1 entspricht einer normalen Verschmutzung mit Harz mit einer Flächenleistung von ca. 60 m2 pro Minute diese Nachtreinigung dauert in der Praxis ca. 0,5 Std., je nach Verschmutzungsgrad. Die Programmierung Stufe 2 entspricht einer mittleren Verschmutzung mit einer Flächenleistung von ca. 30 m2 pro Minute diese Nachtreinigung dauert in der Praxis ca. 1 Std., je nach Verschmutzungsgrad. Die Programmierung Stufe 3 entspricht einer sehr starken Verschmutzung durch Harze mit einer Flächenleistung von 15 m2 pro Minute diese Nachtreinigung dauert in der Praxis ca. 1,5 Std.. Nach dem der Hallenwart entschieden hat, welcher Verschmutzungsgrad der Sporthallenboden aufweist, wird der Reinigungsroboter für die Harzreinigung programmiert! Das Vorsprühen der Hallenbodenabschnitte darf nicht zu gross sein, da sonst das Lösungsmittel vorher verdunstet. Es darf aber auch nicht zu klein sein, ansonsten sich der Harz schlecht löst, da er eine zu geringe Einwirkungszeit kriegt. Auch hier wird eine stufenlose, flexible Programmierung am Reinigungsroboter vorhanden sein (X beliebige Einstellungen von Laufmetern Vorsprühen und x beliebige Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Roboters), damit sich dieser der Halle und Verschmutzung anpasst. Die unterschiedliche Dosierung des Reinigungsproduktes wirkt sich auf das Verdunstungsverhalten am Boden aus. Der Reinigungsroboter wird daher auf höchstens 2 Bahnen vorsprühen (Durchschnitt) können, bevor das Fliess den Harz am Boden mit den schnell rotierenden Fliesswalzen aufnehmen wird. In der Praxis heisst das, dass der Reinigungsroboter zuerst mit angehobenen Walzen 2 Hin- und Rückfahrten für das Aufsprühen des Harzreinigungsmittels durchführen wird. Dann wird er mit angepressten Fliesswalzen diese 4 Bahnen (2 Hin- und Rückfahrten)ganz langsam reinigen resp. den Harz an das Fliess binden. Dies wiederholt sich, bis die ganze Sporthallenfläche gereinigt ist. Das Aufsprühen kann mit einer schnelleren Laufgeschwindigkeit erfolgen als die Reinigungsfahrt (muss nicht sein, kann auch über die Dosierung der lösungsmittelbeständigen Sprühpumpen reguliert werden).When cleaning the resin, the pollution resp. the dissolved resin to an exchange resp. One-way flow bound. The speed is variable and depends on the cleaning program resp. Cleaning process together. The programming level 1 corresponds to a normal contamination with resin with a surface output of approx. 60 m2 per minute, this night cleaning takes in practice about 0.5 hours, depending on the degree of soiling. The programming level 2 corresponds to a medium contamination with a surface output of approx. 30 m2 per minute, this night cleaning takes approx. 1 hour in practice, depending on the degree of soiling. The programming level 3 corresponds to a very strong contamination by resins with a surface output of 15 m2 per minute this night cleaning takes in practice about 1.5 hours .. After the hallkeeper has decided what degree of contamination the sports hall floor has, the cleaning robot for programmed the resin cleaning! The pre-spraying of the hall floor sections must not be too large, otherwise the solvent will evaporate beforehand. But it must not be too small, otherwise the resin dissolves badly, because it gets too little exposure time. Here, too, a stepless, flexible programming will be available at the cleaning robot (X arbitrary settings of running meters pre-spraying and x arbitrary driving speed of the robot), so that this adapts to the hall and pollution. The different dosage of the cleaning product has an effect on the evaporation behavior on the ground. The cleaning robot will therefore be able to pre-spray (average) on at most 2 tracks before the flow will pick up the resin on the ground with the fast-rotating tilters. In practice, this means that the cleaning robot will perform first with raised rollers 2 round trips for spraying the resin cleaner. Then he will press with pressed tilters these 4 lanes (2 return trips) very slowly resp. the resin to the flow tie. This repeats itself until the whole sports hall surface is cleaned. The spraying can be done at a faster speed than the cleaning drive (does not have to be, can also be regulated by the dosage of the solvent-resistant spray pump).

5. Beendigung und Nachreinigung nach der Harzreinigung5. Finishing and post-cleaning after resin cleaning

Nach der erfolgten Reinigung, welche ausschliesslich in der Nacht geschieht (damit keine Personen die giftigen Lösungsmittel einatmen müssen), geht der Reinigungsroboter in seine Ausgangsstellung zurück und wartet, bis der Hallenwart am nächsten Morgen die verschmutzten Einwegfliesse wieder abmontiert und entsorgt. Ein Fliess reicht absolut für eine Harzreinigung in einer Dreifachsporthalle aus, da im Vorfeld die Halle vom normalen Schmutz nass vorgereinigt worden ist und die Harzreinigung im besten Fall voraussichtlich wöchentlich erfolgen wird. Erfahrungen mit Tellerpads an Einscheibenreinigungsmaschinen haben ergeben, dass diese problemlos das Harz von einer ganzen Dreifachsporthalle in das Oberflächenmaterial aufnehmen können. Den Rest des lösungsmittelhaltigen Spezialreinigers muss der Hallenwart aus dem Frischwassertank entfernen, (wird über den Servicewagen erfolgen) und dann muss er sofort wieder die normale Sporthallenpflegereinigungsmischung in den Reinigungsroboter einfüllen. Eine gründliche Reinigung des Frischwassertankes muss nicht erfolgen. Der Reinigungsroboter wird wieder für die normale Nassreinigung programmiert. Jetzt wird die ganze Halle nochmals normal nass gereinigt, damit allfällige Striemen und Reste des Harzreinigungsmittels sauber entfernt werden können. Der lästige Geruch des Lösungsmittels wird ebenfalls durch die abschliessende Nassreinigung zusätzlich neutralisiert. Das wichtige und richtige Gleitverhalten des Sporthallenbodens wird wieder optimal hergestellt. Der Sporthallenboden präsentiert sich wieder wie neu resp. wie am ersten Nutzungstag.After cleaning, which is done exclusively at night (so that no people need to breathe the toxic solvents), the cleaning robot goes back to its original position and waits until the hallkeeper the next morning, the contaminated disposable tiles removed and disposed of. A flow is absolutely sufficient for a resin cleaning in a triple sports hall, since in advance the hall has been pre-cleaned with normal dirt and the resin cleaning is expected to be weekly. Experiences with disk pads on single-disc cleaning machines have shown that they can easily absorb the resin from a whole triple-sports hall in the surface material. The rest of the solvent-based special cleaner must be removed from the fresh water tank by the warden, (this is done via the service trolley) and then he must immediately refill the normal sports-hall-care cleaner cleaning mixture into the cleaning robot. Thorough cleaning of the fresh water tank is not required. The cleaning robot is again programmed for normal wet cleaning. Now the whole hall is again cleaned normally wet, so that any marks and remnants of the resin cleaner can be removed cleanly. The annoying smell of the solvent is also neutralized by the final wet cleaning. The important and correct sliding behavior of the sports hall floor is optimally restored. The sports hall floor presents itself as new resp. as on the first day of use.

Fazit:Conclusion:

Erstmals kann das Entfernen von Harz vom Turnhallenboden täglich oder wöchentlich, ohne Schliessung (mittels gründlicher Nachtreinigung) und Personal (wirtschaftlicher als alle bisherigen Reinigungsmethoden) in der Sporthalle erfolgen. Dadurch entstehen nachweislich weniger Sportunfälle und dem wichtigen Thema der Arbeitsicherheit am Arbeitsplatz (Hallenwart und Reinigungspersonal) wird vollumfänglich Rechnung getragen. Diese wirtschaftliche und gesundheitsfördernde neue Erfindung ist gewerblich anwendbar und erfüllt damit die Anforderungen der amtlichen Patentanmeldung.For the first time, the removal of resin from the gym floor can be done daily or weekly, without closing (by thorough night cleaning) and staff (more economical than all previous cleaning methods) in the sports hall. As a result, fewer sports accidents are proven and the important issue of occupational safety at the workplace (warden and cleaning staff) is taken fully into account. This economical and healthy new invention is industrially applicable and thus meets the requirements of the official patent application.
