Abstract

The belt (1) lies at an angle to the water surface and is driven in a direction that lifts floating debris and deposits it in a filter pan (2). Propellers (3) drive and steer the machine through the water and a sensor (4) and control system (5) allow the entire surface to be covered.

Description

Bekannt ist das Verfahren für die Reinigung des Oberflächenwassers durch Filtrierung des angesaugten Oberflächenwassers durch mobile schwimmende Filteranlagen (EP 023 235 B1).The method for cleaning the surface water by filtering the is known surface water drawn in by mobile floating filter systems (EP 023 235 B1).

Die Probleme bei dem bekannten Verfahren sind die nicht ausreichende Fixierung von auf der Wasseroberfläche treibenden groben Verunreinigungen wie z. B. Laub, sowie die ungenügende Steuermöglichkeit.The problems with the known method are the insufficient fixation of the Coarse impurities driving water surface such. B. foliage, as well as the insufficient Tax opportunity.

Diese Probleme werden durch die Patentansprüche gelöst.These problems are solved by the claims.

Die auf der Wasseroberfläche treibenden Verunreinigungen werden nicht wie bei den bekannten Verfahren angesaugt, sondern durch ein profiliertes und seitlich abgeschlossenes Förderband 1 (Patentanspruch 1) über einen wasserdurchlässigen Filter 2 befördert, der sich überhalb der Wasseroberfläche im Gehäuse des schwimmenden Reinigungsgerätes befindet. Das vordere Ende des Förderbandes liegt unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche und wird durch die Vorwärtsbewegung des Reinigungsgerätes an die Verschmutzungen herangeführt.The impurities floating on the water surface are not sucked in as in the known methods, but are conveyed through a profiled and laterally closed conveyor belt 1 (claim 1) over a water-permeable filter 2 , which is located above the water surface in the housing of the floating cleaning device. The front end of the conveyor belt is below the water surface and is brought up to the dirt by the forward movement of the cleaning device.

Angetrieben wird das Reinigungsgerät durch zwei, jeweils seitlich dem Förderband liegenden, Schraubenpropeller 3. Durch diese Anordnung kann auf ein Ruder verzichtet werden, da Richtungsänderungen mittels verschiedener Schubkräfte der Schraubenpropeller erreicht werden können.The cleaning device is driven by two screw propellers 3 , each on the side of the conveyor belt. This arrangement makes it possible to dispense with an oar, since changes in direction can be achieved by means of various thrust forces on the screw propeller.

Die Schraubenpropeller und das Förderband werden elektrisch betrieben. Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch Akkumulatoren 6 und durch photovoltaische Solarzellen 7.The screw propellers and the conveyor belt are operated electrically. Power is supplied by batteries 6 and by photovoltaic solar cells 7 .

Das Reinigungsgerät bewegt sich selbständig über die gesamte Wasseroberfläche, die jedoch durch den Beckenrand begrenzt sein muß. Dies geschieht durch eine Steuerungsautomatik (Patentanspruch 2). Das Reinigungsgerät fährt grundsätzlich mit mäßiger Geschwindigkeit vorwärts. Bei einer Berührung mit einem Hindernis gibt ein Stoßsensor 4 ein Signal an die Steuerungselektronik 5. Diese setzt das Reinigungsgerät ca. 1 m zurück und ändert seine Fahrtrichtung um ca. 90 bis 180 Grad. Dieser Vorgang wird auch in bestimmten Zeitabständen auch ohne Hindernisberührung durchgeführt. Dies ist notwendig,um ein Festsetzen, nach einer sanften Hindernisberührung ohne Auslösen des Stoßsensors, zu verhindern.The cleaning device moves independently over the entire water surface, which must be limited by the pool edge. This is done by an automatic control system (claim 2). The cleaning device always moves forward at a moderate speed. When touching an obstacle, a shock sensor 4 sends a signal to the control electronics 5 . This sets the cleaning device back approx. 1 m and changes its direction of travel by approx. 90 to 180 degrees. This process is also carried out at certain time intervals without touching the obstacle. This is necessary to prevent sticking after a gentle touch of the obstacle without triggering the shock sensor.

Der Füllstand des Filters wird durch Lichtschranken ermittelt. Ist dieser voll, schwimmt das Gerät selbständig zum Beckenrand und schaltet sich ab.The fill level of the filter is determined by light barriers. If it is full, it floats Device independently to the pool edge and switches off.

Zudem kann das Reinigungsgerät mittels einer Funkfernbedienung gesteuert werden, um gezielt Verschmutzungen aufnehmen zu können, und zur Bergung des Gerätes.In addition, the cleaning device can be controlled by means of a radio remote control to be able to specifically pick up dirt and to salvage the device.
