Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washing vehicle as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a washing vehicle is known from the Dutch patent application 8001377. Such a washing vehicle is used particularly in tunnels.
  • the known washing vehicle is not very suitable to be used in tunnels with curved walls, as some brushes will become out of contact with the curved wall.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the known washing vehicle in two respects.
  • Another intended object is to offer a solution for the fact that the vehicle which moves through the tunnel does not precisely follow a line parallel to the wall. This can have various causes, for example the virtual impossibility of steering the vehicle in this way, a change in the position of the road surface relative to the wall, and the like.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a solution for the stated drawbacks.
  • the apparatus comprises a vehicle 2 in the form of a truck chassis with driver's cabin 3. On this chassis is arranged a superstructure 4 which comprises two control cabins 5, 6 for an operator 7.
  • the control cabin 6 is used during washing of a wall which, as seen in the travel direction 40 of the vehicle, is located on the right side thereof.
  • the cabin 5 is used during washing of a wall on the left side.
  • the apparatus 1 further comprises a brush-moving mechanism 8 with which the brushes 35 are held against a wall for washing.
  • the brush-moving mechanism 8 comprises a main spindle 9 fixedly connected to the superstructure 4. Mounted rotatably about the main spindle 9 is a main spindle tube 10. A boom 12 is connected pivotably to the main spindle tube 10 by means of a bearing. Also attached to the main spindle tube 10 is a swivel arm 14 on the end of which grips a piston rod 16 of a pressure cylinder 13, which pressure cylinder 13 is in turn pivotably connected to the superstructure 4.
  • the pressure cylinder will be called hereafter the swivel cylinder 13.
  • the pressure cylinder 15, hereafter to be called the inclining cylinder 15, is connected pivotably to the main spindle tube 10.
  • the piston rod of the inclining cylinder 15 is in turn pivotably connected to the boom 12.
  • an arm 21 is connected pivotably to the main spindle 9, which arm displays an extendable gear rack arm 22.
  • a spindle sleeve 23 which also engages pivotably on the arm 22.
  • the sleeve 23 can perform the rotation indicated with the arrows b.
  • openings for placing pins locking the brush arm in the horizontal position are placed when the brush arm assumes a position against the roof of the tunnel. In this position the plunger 24 can absorb only small forces.
  • the brush arm 26 is connected to the sleeve 23 by means of the arm 27. Using the brush arm cylinder 28 the arm can perform the movement indicated with the arrows d, rotating around the arm 27.
  • Each brush 35 is driven by its own hydro-motor 31. All hydro-motors for the respective brushes are connected via a distributor means 32 and two flexible hoses 33 to the common hydro-pump for all the motors.
  • Each brush 35 with associated motor is axially movable, guided by guide rods, of which two 200 and 201 are visible.
  • the brush 35 is biased thereby by pressure provided by the control cylinder 202.
  • the brushes 35 (see fig. 3) can therefore assume the contact position with the wall because they are pressed against the wall.
  • Each brush 35 is arranged pivotably relative to the rotatable drive shaft using the cardan coupling 37. Through this construction the brushes can individually assume the desired axial position, for example when encountering a thickening of a wall 204.
  • the propelling means comprise a motor 67 and, connected and coupled thereto, a gearbox 68 which has an output shaft 69.
  • the propelling means further comprise a gearbox 70 coupled to the output shaft 69 of the gearbox 68, to which gearbox 70 are further connected a hydro-pump 71, a hydro-motor 72 and, via a cardan shaft 73, the rear shaft 74 connected to the driven wheels.
  • the gearbox 70 comprises a primary shaft 86 with a toothed wheel 77 arranged for sliding thereon by means of a key connection 80, a secondary shaft 79 with a fixed toothed wheel 78, a first auxiliary shaft 75 with a fixed toothed wheel 76 and a second auxiliary shaft 82 with a toothed wheel 81 arranged for sliding thereon by means of a key connection 83.
  • the output shaft 69 of the gearbox 68 is coupled to the primary shaft 86 of the gearbox 70.
  • the hydro-pump 71 is coupled to the first auxiliary shaft 75
  • the hydro-motor 72 is coupled to the second auxiliary shaft 82
  • the cardan shaft 73 is coupled to the secondary shaft 79.
  • the slidable toothed wheels 77 and 81 can be simultaneously pushed in opposing directions onto the respective shafts 86 and 82.
  • the output shaft 69 of the gearbox 68 is directly coupled to the driven shaft 74 because the toothed wheels 77 and 78 are in mutual engagement.
  • both toothed wheels 76 and 81 which are coupled to the hydro-pump 71 and the hydro-motor 72 respectively, are in engagement with a toothed wheel.
  • the toothed wheels in the gearbox 70 are set in this position when the vehicle 2 travels over the road to an object for washing.
  • the gearbox 68 is provided with a take-off drive gear 90.
  • the power take-off 91 is connected to a drive gear 92 which has two output shafts 93 and 95 respectively. Coupled to the output shaft 93 are a number of hydraulic pumps 94 for controlling the pressure cylinders of the apparatus.
  • One hydro-pump 96 for all brushes 35 jointly is coupled to the output shaft 95.
  • a washing agent pump 99 which draws in washing agent from a tank 101 is driven from the output shaft 93 of the drive gear via a belt drive mechanism 97.
  • a normally opened valve 103 and a normally closed valve 104 Arranged in series in the outlet line 173 of the pump 99 are a normally opened valve 103 and a normally closed valve 104.
  • the common hydro-pump 96 is coupled via a flexible hose connection 33 to the distributor means 32 for supply of drive fluid to the hydro-motors of the brushes.
  • Achieved with the construction according to the invention is maximum flexibility in the possible position of the brushes relative to the tunnel wall.
  • the brush can assume the optimal position against the tunnel wall independently of the other brushes and the vehicle has a relatively great degree of freedom relative to the tunnel wall and the brush arm.
