Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cleaning unit for road vehicles allowing in particular the collection of animal excrement on the public highway and in particular on the sidewalks.
  • the collection is of course all the more difficult as the nature of the excremental product is dispersed (droppings). Conversely, when the excremental product is too solid in nature (turd), the collection device can become blocked by accumulation.
  • a cleaning unit for road vehicles allowing the collection of animal excrement on the public highway, such a unit comprising a suction device, a suction nozzle, a casing for collecting excrement and a spray nozzle opening into the suction nozzle; this suction device and this suction nozzle are connected to the casing by flexible hoses and the spray nozzle is connected to a water source by a flexible hose also.
  • this unit although it may be satisfactory, is of relatively complex design and construction and is in any case intended to be dragged by a vehicle since it is made independent of the latter and has its own rollers, this which is not always practical during use.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks and targets a cleaning unit of the type mentioned in this last British patent. It comprises according to claim 1, at least at least one means for supplying liquid and a means for sucking up the excrement, directly supported and maneuvered by an operator in use, thus carrying out a wet collection by sprinkling-suction in easy conditions.
  • the spray liquid generally water
  • a hardening substance so that the wet pickup is obtained without liquefying the excrement already dispersed (droppings) but obtaining their almost instant hardening.
  • the cleaning unit according to the invention by wet collection can also comprise a means for fractionating solid excrement (drums), this means possibly being a rotary knife, hence the impossibility of an obstruction of the suction means and wet collection by sprinkling-fractionation-suction.
  • drums solid excrement
  • the cleaning unit according to the invention is advantageously motorized and the invention therefore also relates to road vehicles equipped according to the invention.
  • a wet vacuum cleaning unit generally comprises a suction turbine (1), a suction shovel (2), a housing (3) for collecting excrement, a spray nozzle (4) opening into the suction shovel, a liquid tank (5) and a pump (6).
  • the cleaning unit is completed by a rotary knife (7) and a drive motor (8).
  • the turbine (1) and the suction shovel (2) are connected to the casing (3) by flexible tubes sheathed with suction (A); the spray nozzle (4) is connected to the pump (6) by a flexible conduit (E) (the coolant preferably, but not exclusively, is water); the rotary knife (7) is connected to the electric drive motor (8) by a flexible transmission (T).
  • a command (not shown) makes it possible to act on the water supply and / or on the drive of the knife.
  • FIG. 1 an excavator-suction unit (2), tube (A), conduit (E) and transmission (T) is shown in its entirety and a second assembly is partially represented, the cleaning unit according to the invention being able to be equipped with two sets of suction-sprinkler and fractionation.
  • the suction shovel (2) can show a pick-up edge (2A) like a conventional shovel and a raised stop edge (2B); it can also be fitted with an access cover (2C).
  • the shape of the knife can be that of a lying "U”, the two ends of which are mounted along a common vertical geometric axis "X".
  • the liquid, and preferably the water, contained in the reservoir (5) can be added with a certain amount of a hardening substance which, depending on its nature, allows the almost instantaneous transformation of a dispersed excrement (droppings ) into a solid product.
  • the handle (9) can be used in the example of a vacuum cleaner handle by the operator seated on the seat (10) of the motorcycle-tricycle (immobilized or in motion) equipped with the unit according to the invention.
  • This handle is capable of occupying a so-called “storage” position by any appropriate means during non-use.
  • the two-stage suction turbine (1) is driven by a PTO drive system (12) on the vehicle engine (M), belt (13) and declutching device (14).
  • the belt (13) can be closed around a pulley (15) allowing the drive of the starter-dynamo device (16) of the motorcycle.
  • the cleaning unit by wet pickup by sprinkling-fractionation-suction can have its autonomous source of electrical energy and for this purpose comprises for example a battery (not shown) with regulator.
  • the collecting housing (3) can contain a recovery tank (not shown) allowing it to be emptied easily after a certain time of operation of the cleaning unit according to the invention.
