Description

La présente invention a pour objet une unité de nettoyage pour véhicules de voirie permettant notamment le ramassage des excréments d'animaux sur la voie publique et en particulier sur les trottoirs.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.

Il existe des véhicules de voirie pour le ramassage des excréments d'animaux, lesquels comportent un caisson à brosse que l'on descend au niveau du ramassage et qui comporte essentiellement une brosse rotative, ou deux équipages basculants renfermant des organes de nettoyage du type brosses pouvant être amenés sélectivement en contact avec le sol comme décrit par exemple dans le brevet français n 2 465 836.There are road vehicles for the collection of animal excrement, which include a brush box which is lowered to the level of the collection and which essentially comprises a rotary brush, or two tilting crews containing cleaning members of the brush type. can be brought selectively into contact with the ground as described for example in French Patent No. 2,465,836.

On connaît par ailleurs des véhicules de voirie combinant à la brosse rotative une aspersion d'eau de lavage.There are also known road vehicles combining with the rotary brush a spraying of washing water.

De toute manière, les véhicules et dispositifs de ramassage à brosse ont l'inconvénient majeur de s'encrasser rapidement et d'étendre les produits excrémentiels plutôt que de les ramasser efficacement.In any case, vehicles and brush collection devices have the major disadvantage of quickly clogging and spreading excrement products rather than picking them up efficiently.

Le ramassage est bien entendu d'autant plus difficile que la nature du produit excrémentiel est dispersée (fiente). A l'inverse, quand le produit excrémentiel est de nature trop solide (étron), le dispositif de ramassage peut s'obstruer par accumulation.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.

On connaît par ailleurs par le brevet britannique n 1 068 940, une unité de nettoyage pour véhicules de voirie permettant le ramassage des excréments d'animaux sur la voie publique, une telle unité comprenant un appareil d'aspiration, une buse-suceuse, un carter pour collecteur les excréments et une buse d'aspersion débouchant dans la buse-suceuse; cet appareil d'aspiration et cette buse-suceuse sont reliés au carter par des tuyaux souples et la buse d'aspersion est reliée à une source d'eau par un tuyau souple également. Or, cette unité, bien que pouvant donner satisfaction, est de conception et de réalisation relativement complexes et elle est de toute façon destinée à être traînée par un véhicule puisqu'elle est rendue indépendante de ce dernier et comporte ses propres galets de roulement, ce qui n'est pas toujours pratique en cours d'utilisation.Also known from British Patent No. 1,068,940, 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. However, 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.

La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients et vise une unité de nettoyage du type rappelé dans ce dernier brevet britannique. Elle comprend selon la revendication 1 à la fois au moins un moyen d'adduction de liquide et un moyen d'aspiration des excréments, directement supportés et manoeuvrés par un opérateur en cours d'utilisation réalisant ainsi un ramassage humide par aspersion-aspiration dans des conditions aisées.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.

Conformément à un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, le liquide d'aspersion (en général de l'eau) peut être additionné d'une certaine quantité d'une substance de durcissement de sorte que le ramassage humide est obtenu sans liquéfier les excréments déjà disperses (fiente) mais en obtenant leur durcissement quasi-instantané.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the spray liquid (generally water) can be added with a certain amount of a hardening substance so that the wet pickup is obtained without liquefying the excrement already dispersed (droppings) but obtaining their almost instant hardening.

L'unité de nettoyage selon l'invention par ramassage humide peut également comprendre un moyen de fractionnement des excréments solides (étrons), ce moyen pouvant être un couteau rotatif, d'où l'impossibilité d'une obstruction du moyen d'aspiration et un ramassage humide par aspersion-fractionnement-aspiration.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.

L'unité de nettoyage selon l'invention est avantageusement motorisée et l'invention vise donc également les véhicules de voirie équipés selon l'invention.The cleaning unit according to the invention is advantageously motorized and the invention therefore also relates to road vehicles equipped according to the invention.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre faite en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels:

  • la fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'une unité de nettoyage par ramassage humide selon l'invention;
  • la fig. 2 est une vue par le dessus d'une pelle-suceuse qui est reliée de préférence à l'unité de nettoyage par un tube souple gainé;
  • la fig. 3 est une vue en élévation latérale de cette pelle-suceuse;
  • la fig. 4 est une vue en élévation latérale partielle de l'un des côtés d'un motocycle-tricycle équipé selon l'invention mais dépourvu de l'ensemble roue- fourche;
  • la fig. 5 est une vue en élévation encore plus dépouillée de ce motocycle-tricycle, de son autre côté.

La turbine (1) et la pelle-suceuse (2) sont reliées au carter (3) par des tubes souples gainés d'aspiration (A); la buse d'aspersion (4) est reliée à la pompe (6) par un conduit souple (E) (le liquide d'arrosage étant de préférence, mais non exclusivement, de l'eau); le couteau rotatif (7) est relié au moteur électrique d'entraînement (8) par une transmission flexible (T). Bien entendu, une commande (non représentée) permet d'agir sur l'arrivée d'eau et/ou sur l'entraînement du couteau.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). Of course, a command (not shown) makes it possible to act on the water supply and / or on the drive of the knife.

Sur la figure 1, un ensemble pelle-suceuse (2), tube (A), conduit (E) et transmission (T) est représenté en entier et un deuxième ensemble est représenté partiellement, l'unité de nettayage selon l'invention pouvant être équipée deux ensembles d'aspiration- aspersion et fractionnement.In 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.

La pelle-suceuse (2) peut montrer un bord de ramassage (2A) à l'exemple d'une pelle classique et un bord relevé de butée (2B); elle peut également être munie d'un couvercle d'accès (2C).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).

La forme du couteau peut être celle d'un «U» couché dont les deux extrémités sont montées selon un axe géométrique vertical commun «X».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".

Le liquide, et de préférence l'eau, contenu dans le réservoir (5) peut être additionné d'une certaine quantité d'une substance de durcissement qui, selon sa nature, permet la transformation quasi-instantanée d'un excrément dispersé (fiente) en un produit solide.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.

Les produits déja solides comme les produits durcis sont facilement fractionné par le couteau rotatif (7) et l'ensemble des fragments peut être facilement aspiré jusqu'au carter collecteur (3), sans risque d'obstruction de la pelle-suceuse, du tube d'aspiration (A) comme du manche creux (8) qui peut relier la pelle-suceuse (2) au tube l'aspiration (A).Already solid products such as hardened products are easily split by the rotary knife (7) and all of the fragments can be easily sucked up to the collecting casing (3), without risk of obstruction of the suction-shovel, of the suction tube (A) as of the hollow handle (8) which can connect the suction-shovel (2) to the tube l suction (A).

Ce manche est susceptible d'occuper une position dite «de rangement» par tout moyen approprié en cours de non utilisation.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.

Une partie de cette unité est représentée sur la figure 4 montée dans un carter protecteur et enjoliveur (11).Part of this unit is shown in Figure 4 mounted in a protective casing and cover (11).

La turbine d'aspiration à deux étages (1) est entraînée par un système d'entraînement à prise de force (12) sur le moteur (M) du véhicule, courroie (13) et dispositif de débrayage (14).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).

La courroie (13) peut se refermer autour d'une poulie (15) permettant l'entraînement du dispositif démarreur-dynamo (16) du motocycle.The belt (13) can be closed around a pulley (15) allowing the drive of the starter-dynamo device (16) of the motorcycle.

L'unité de nettoyage par ramassage humide par aspersion-fractionnement-aspiration peut comporter sa source autonome d'énergie électrique et comprend à cet effet par exemple une batterie (non representée) avec régulateur.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.
