  • At least one of the peripheral washing heads intended to spray the washing liquid onto the external surface of the side wall of the containers is subject to a drive device making it possible to move it along said wall from one end to the other thereof.
  • the entire interior and exterior surfaces of the containers is effectively swept by the jets of liquid produced by the washing heads, so that a perfect cleaning of said containers is obtained.
  • the various operations required by washing a container can easily be carried out by a single operator, who can also, if necessary, drive the vehicle from one washing place to another.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view, in schematic nature, and with partial longitudinal section, of a self-propelled vehicle for cleaning containers according to the invention, shown in the position preceding the introduction of a container into the washing box.
  • Figure 2 is a side view, on a larger scale and schematic, of the washing device itself illustrated in the washing position of a container introduced into the washing box.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view in schematic of the mechanical drive device for moving the washing head or heads inside the container (s).
  • Figure 4 is a top view of this device.
  • Figure 5 is a rear view and Figure 6 a side view.
  • Figure 7 is a detail view, on a larger scale, of Figure 6, showing more specifically the means ensuring the movements of forward and backward washing heads.
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view in schematic illustrating the position of the different washing heads of the installation, around the location occupied by the container or containers, during washing.
  • This installation comprises a vehicle advantageously constituted by an automobile truck 1 on the chassis 2 of which is mounted the actual washing installation, the various active component parts of which are housed in a compartment or compartmentalized body 3 carried by said chassis.
  • this pump makes it possible to supply the various washing heads 20, 32, 34, 36, etc. of the installation, with water or other washing liquid under pressure.
  • the washing head or each "central" washing head 20 intended to spray the water or other washing liquid under pressure inside the container or containers C introduced in the box 4 is subject to an advantageously automated drive device designated as a whole by the reference 40 in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 and making it possible to move the said washing head (s) inside said container, preferably, in three perpendicular directions, namely in the depth direction of the container and in the two perpendicular directions.
  • this device comprises a main frame 21 constituted by a robust frame fixed transversely in the box 3, in front of and at a distance from the washing box 4, this frame being, slightly inclined towards the rear.
  • a secondary frame 22 which comprises, for example, for this purpose, slides 22a which can move on two horizontal slides 21a of the main frame 21.
  • the horizontal movements of the secondary chassis are ensured by two hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders 23, 24 arranged, respectively, at the upper part and at the lower part of the chassis 21 and 22.
  • the upper cylinder 23 connects the upper part 21b of the main chassis 21 to the upper part 22b of the secondary chassis 22, while the lower cylinder 24 connects the lower part 21c of said main chassis to the lower part 22c of said secondary chassis, the synchronized operation of these cylinders being controlled by hydraulic or pneumatic distributors, known per se.
  • a support carriage 25 which comprises, for example, for this purpose, slides 25a which can slide on two rigidly spaced guide columns 22d integral with the secondary chassis 22.
  • These guide columns are slightly inclined towards the front, their inclination being close to the vertical, for example of the order of 10 degrees relative to the vertical.
  • the upward or downward movements of the support trolley 25 are ensured by a central jack 26 connecting the secondary chassis 22 to said support trolley 25.
  • the support carriage 25 On the support carriage 25 is mounted at least one cleaning lance 27, with a possibility of displacement forwards and backwards, that is to say in the depth direction of the container in its cleaning position , the free end of this lance being provided with a washing head 20.
  • two spaced and parallel cleaning lances 27 constituted by rigid metal tubes and each provided with a washing head 20, are mounted with the possibility of advancing and retreating, on the support carriage 25, the washing heads 20 equipping the free end of these lances being aligned horizontally.
  • the lances 27 are arranged with a slight inclination close to the horizontal, for example of the order of 10 degrees relative to the horizontal.
  • twin washing heads 20 has the advantage of making it possible to clean either a container of large dimensions or two containers of smaller dimensions introduced simultaneously into the container. washing 4 and into each of which can penetrate one of said washing heads.
  • Each washing head 20 is constituted by a rotary nozzle with multiple jets (two front jets and two side jets) and whose rotation is ensured by the pressure of the water.
  • the simultaneous forward or backward movements of the cleaning lances 27 are provided by a central cylinder 28 disposed between the latter and connecting, for example, an element of the support carriage 25 and a spacer 29 rigidly connecting said lances.
  • the cleaning lance or each cleaning lance 27 passes through a movable support plate 30 to which it is rigidly secured.
  • This support plate 30 is carried by a flexible wall 31 advantageously constituted by a bellows, for example produced by means of a canvas provided with an impermeable coating.
  • This flexible wall 31 constitutes, in part or in whole, a partition forwardly delimiting the actual washing enclosure or washing box 4.
  • the plate 30 supporting the cleaning arms 27 accompanies the latter in their different movements, thanks to the flexibility and the breadth of the wall 31 produced in the form of a bellows.
  • the container cleaning process may include one or more cycles of the various aforementioned movements, the succession and frequency of which can be regulated by an automatic control system or automaton programmed to control, as desired, the operation of the hydraulic equipment or pneumatic equipment ensuring the movement of the various mobile washing heads.
  • an automatic control system or automaton programmed to control, as desired, the operation of the hydraulic equipment or pneumatic equipment ensuring the movement of the various mobile washing heads.
  • the movements of the washing heads 20 can take place in any order, separately or simultaneously, depending on the programming of the automatic device controlling the operation of the installation. In this way, the washing heads can have very varied trajectories inside the containers. These movements can also possibly be directed by an operator controlling the various actuating cylinders, if one passes from an automatic command to a manual command.
