Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the cleaning of the outer surfaces which coat buildings, and more particularly it relates to an apparatus for cleaning said coating surfaces, either vertical or inclined, plain or moulded, made of glass or other materials, on buildings or other structures.
  • a traditional system consisting of lowering a cable-suspended bridge from the roof, supporting the working personnel, or arranging along the walls of the building guides or cables or similar vertical or horizontal means, either fixed on the surfaces to be treated or arranged in place at the moment of use, which are designed to guide and maintain the suitable adherence engagement between the walls and the devices carrying the means for mechanically cleaning said walls.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a system and apparatus for cleaning the outer walls of buildings of the type mentioned above, capable of overcoming the disadvantages and drawbacks of the known systems, eliminating specifically the necessity of any type of longitudinal and transversal anchorage of the cleaning apparatus to be arranged on the walls to be acted upon, while ensuring a perfect adhesion of the cleaning apparatus to the surface to be treated, even if they are of considerable height, moulded and/or inclined.
  • said object is achieved by providing an apparatus for cleaning the outer, vertical or sub-vertical walls of buildings or other structures, and more particularly for cleaning the covering walls made of glass, marble or metal, of buildings, said apparatus being provided with mechanical cleaning means and/or steam jet cleaning means and/or liquid jet cleaning means for washing the walls, characterized in that it comprises a carriage mounted on a portion of the roof of the building to be cleaned and provided with suspension means for suspending said apparatus and capable of causing said apparatus to be displaced in a vertical plane along the walls of the building to be cleaned, and with means capable of causing said apparatus to be displaced in the horizontal plane along the entirety or a portion of the perimeter of the building to be cleaned, said apparatus being provided with screw-and/or turbine propulsion means capable of constantly keeping it positively adhering against the surface being cleaned.
  • said adhering action of the cleaning apparatus against the wall to be cleaned is enhanced further by suspending the apparatus from said carriage in an eccentric position with respect to its center of gravity, and/or by using suitable counterweights capable of enhancing said adhesion of the apparatus to the wall to be cleaned.
  • said propulsion means is a screw, or a turbine, or the like, and the airflow generated by said propulsion means to adhere the cleaning apparatus to the surface to be cleaned is used to dry the surfaces which have been treated with the detergent liquid used to clean them.
  • said carriage is mounted on rails extending along the perimeter of the roof of the building, and said propulsion means is operated by electricity, or by compressed air, or by an explosion engine or the like.
  • 1 indicates the wall of a building.
  • Said wall as shown, consists of a series of glass panels 101.
  • Mounted on the roof 201 of the building is a track 2 extending along the entire perimeter of said building. Rolling along the track 2 are the wheels 103 of a two-rail carriage 3.
  • Mounted on the carriage 3 are the capstans 203, on the drums of which there are wound the cables 4 for suspending the cleaning apparatus.
  • Said cables 4 are anchored, at their ends remote from those wound on the capstans 203, to a respective connecting member or hook 403 fixed to the carriage 3, and they are turned round the pulleys 303 on the carriage 3 and the pulleys 105 wherefrom the cleaning apparatus 5 is suspended at an end.
  • the hook 403 is advantageously offset towards the wall 1 with respect to the center of gravity of the cleaning apparatus 5, so that the apparatus 5 tends to adhere constantly against the surface 1 to be cleaned.
  • This action of apparatus 5 to adhere against wall 1 is further enhanced and increased by the action of counterweights 705, mounted on the side of the apparatus 5 remote from the one facing the wall 1.
  • the capstans 203 are actuated by a motor 603 which in the illustrated instance is an electric motor.
  • a suitable electric motor (not shown) controls the displacement of the carriage 3 along the rails 2. Coupled to the capstans 203 are the winding drums 703 and 803 intended to wind thereon the hose 6 feeding the detergent liquid contained in the tank 503 and the electric cable 7 feeding the electric power to the cleaning apparatus 5, respectively, as described below with more details.
  • the cleaning apparatus 5 comprises a carriage 205 which, advantageously, is shielded on five sides and is open on the sixth side where it is provided with idle rubber wheels or rollers 305 by means of which it rests against the panels 101 of the building wall 1.
  • a manifold 405 which is provided with spray nozzles directed against the wall 1 and is connected to the hose 6 feeding the washing liquid, and a rotating roller brush 505 actuated by the electric motor 605.
  • the roller brush 505 is applied tangentially against the wall 1 to be cleaned.
  • the cleaning apparatus comprises a fan 8 tubed in a trunk 9 and actuated by an electric motor 10, the blades of the fan 8 being inclined in such a way and rotated in such a direction as to create a suction flow in the direction of the arrow F of Fig. 2, to generate a reaction F1 which keeps the cleaning apparatus 5 constantly adhering against the wall 1 of the building to be cleaned.
  • Both electric motors 10 and 605 are fed through the feeding cable 7.
  • the cleaning apparatus By displacing the carriage 3 along the rails 2, the cleaning apparatus may be positioned on the vertical of the zone where cleaning is to be effected. In this initial position, the cleaning apparatus 5 will have been preferably hoisted completely up to the maximum height of the building by the capstans 203. The cleaning of the vertical strip of wall concerned by the apparatus 5 is now started.
  • the brush 505 is activated and, simultaneously, cleaning liquid will be fed to the nozzles of the spray manifold 405.
  • the fan 8 is activated so as to constantly keep the apparatus 5 adhering against the wall 1 with a force capable of ensuring a constant engagement of the brush 505 against said wall.
  • the apparatus 5 will be lowered vertically along the wall, so that it will be displaced down to the base of said wall 1 by rolling via the rollers 305. During this operation, the airflow sucked by the fan 8 will also contribute to dry the washed area of the wall.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown; so, for example, the fan 8 and/or the brush 5 may be actuated by an explosion motor or by a compressed air motor rather than by an electric motor, and a turbine or the like may be used instead of the fan 8.
  • the brush 505 may also be of a type differing from the one shown herein, and the cleaning apparatus 5 may also comprise nozzles capable of issuing jets of superheated steam for cleaning, for example, marble walls or the like.
