Definitions

  • the present specification refers to an improved machine intended to the cleaning of tunnels, walls and the like.
  • the present invention will find application in the industry devoted to the manufacture of cleaning machines, particularly surface cleaning machines, both vertical and horizontal surfaces, having them any curvature or not.
  • the applicant owns a Spanish Utility Model number 9301786, about a self-transported machine for cleaning tunnels, walls or the like.
  • the improved machine intended to the cleaning of tunnels, walls and the like is structured as a self-transported or propelled by the help of an auxiliary vehicle, having a variable capacity water tank on the top of the frame, at its rear part or at its front one, having a Diesel engine, a multiplier group, a high pressure pump for ejecting the water over the walls that must be cleaned, a hydraulic pump arrangement to move the brushes and the lever arms, a hydraulic arrangement to translating, driving, etc.
  • the invention has a fuel tank, a hydraulic oil tank, a detergent or additive tank, a hot water boiler operated with propane or other combustible and an air pump working as a compressor.
  • the machine can be operated manually, by means of a telescopic or remote control, or automatically using stroke limit ends or bounce cells, etc., which send appropriate signals to the corresponding automata connected to a computer for their programming, being able to work with a little vigilance, or half-automatically, actuated by stroke limit ends or bounce cells, connected in such way that they work following a strong factor preferential order, actuating over the electrovalves of the dispensers.
  • the invention has a conduits disposed as water pipes to dispense cold or hot water, with detergent or additive inside the brushes arrangement former pipe. On last sprayings the water has not any product, and was ejected as pure water, to final rinsing.
  • the conduits are articulated, and adopt the position of the brush carrier arm.
  • the water pipe actuating on the rear part to the final rising allows the installing of a second line of nozzles, to make a drying by means of the air sprayed by the air pump or compressor.
  • the high pressure water pump Due to the high pressure water pump, it can be placed on the machine an horizontal nozzle line, to clean and dry the pavement.
  • the invention has a plurality of sensors that switch-off the automatic working when the wall ends, preventing the resting sensors for working when there is not a wall.
  • the invention has sensors situated on the upper side in order to control the vertical brush movement and the height, when the movement is up-to-down or down-to-up.
  • the machine can be folded over the upper side of the water tank to facilitate its transport.
  • the folding capacity is achieved thanks to the articulations of the telescopic arm.
  • the machine can be unfolded to the right and to the left hand. This allow the job in a one way double lane road, decreasing the job space, and so attenuating the traffic troubles.
  • the movements can be done mechanically or hydraulically when the machine is working or in little displacements, by means of a gear box or a hydraulic engine over the shaft. They are disconnected when the machine is been transported, being towed by a truck.
  • the machine driving is done hydraulically by means of two hydraulic bottles over the front shaft. They are operated by a hydraulic driving group that drives the machine automatically without needing a drive.
  • the machine can incorporate a crane or a platform, that can be improve the working of the other cleaning elements. Incorporating a crane or platform, it is multiplied the height and distance the surface cleaning elements can reach, substantially improving the machine.
  • the invention is configured as a machine that can be incorporated over a truck platform, or fitted with wheels an towed by a truck, or over a railway wagon, or any other carrier element, to clean railway tunnels, or can be configured as a self-propelled machine. It has a water tank, a telescopic arm or crane, managed by oil-hydraulic means, that works radial or transversally with the surface to be cleaned. To permit a vertical plane movements, it have a first oil-hydraulic cylinder, an articulated frame fixed by means of a second group of oil-hydraulic cylinders with the former telescopic arm or crane. This arrangement can extends in a same vertical plane with this telescopic arm, crane, etc..
  • Its articulated frame is formed by a plurality of sections fitted with tangential-vertical or circle spinning brushes, etc.. They are moved oil-hydraulically, and independently. The both sections joined with the arm sides, are articulated respect this arms, and there are other supplementary sections side by side with the arm-joined ones. All this sections are articulated, and been moved by oil-hydraulic cylinders. The brushes carried by these sections are overlapped.
  • the invention it has been described has a vertical pipe which will spray a liquid curtain formed by a mixed of hot or cold water and detergent or additive. Following its movement, this curtain is before the front of the machine , and there is other before each tangential brush. There is also a device to spray clean water to a firs tangential rig, and two pipes spraying clean water to a latter rig. It is possible to fit an air spraying pipe on the back of the frame to make a drying.
  • the invention has a similar looking than that filed in a former time by the applicant, but it has been improved substantially, reaching better performances.
  • FIG. 1 Showing this figures can be appreciated how the improved machine intended to the cleaning of tunnels, walls and the like is formed with a tank (1), inside there is stored an adequate amount of water.
  • This tank is carried over a chassis or frame with wheels(2), having this frame a shaft (3) on the front, in order to be towed by a vehicle when the machine must be travel by roads.
  • On the upper side of the machine there is a hydraulic arm (8), that can be also placed over a crane or lifter platform. From this arm (8), arise several elements (4) carrying spinning brushes (9).
  • the machine has, on the front side, a conduit (5) placed horizontally or semi-horizontally respect the machine, this conduit carrying a transversal conduit (6), which has nozzles (7).
  • the machine could have a second line of nozzles on the back side. This nozzles would not spray water, but air, in order to dry the zone previously cleaned.
  • the invention has a Diesel engine, a fuel tank, a hydraulic oil tank, a detergent tank, a boiler operated with propane gas or similar, to spray trough the nozzles (7) or (7') hot water, and an air pump or compressor.
  • the invention has a high pressure water pump, and a arrangement of hydraulic pumps to manage the arms (8) movements.
  • the invention has a plurality of sensors to move closer and away the arms carrying the cleaning brushes, and the water spraying nozzles.
  • a sensor is placed over the brush (10), controlling the height position of the brush displacements in a vertical way, up-to-down or down-to-up.
  • Another sensor is placed in the brush frame(10) to control the upper gap, operating over the turn(14) and (15), moving the same close or away to the zone to be cleaned.
  • the brush frame (12) has been fitted with other sensor that operates over the extensible arm edge (8), moving close or away the whole brushes frame.
  • the turning axle (20) is operated, moving closer or away from the wall the upper and lower edges.
  • the machine when it been towed by road, can be folded over the upper side of the water tank (1), thanks to the telescopic arm (8) and the turns (20), (21) y (22).
  • the machine driving is done hydraulically by means of two hydraulic bottles over the front shaft. They are operated by a hydraulic driving group that drives the machine automatically, without needing a driver.
