Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'aspiration pour un véhicule de brossage-nettoyage des surfaces dallées, pavées ou bétonnées en particulier des surfaces urbaines, elle concerne également les véhicules équipés d'un tel dispositif.The present invention relates to a suction device for a vehicle brushing-cleaning of paved, paved or concrete surfaces, in particular urban areas, it also relates to vehicles fitted with such a device.

Un véhicule du type précité est par exemple décrit dans la demande de brevet FR 99 07897 de la demanderesse dont toute les caractéristiques sont intégrées ici. Le nettoyage du sol résulte de l'action combinée d'un liquide de nettoyage distribué par une rampe d'aspersion, et du brossage réalisé à pression constante par une pluralité de brosses rotatives.A vehicle of the aforementioned type is for example described in the patent application FR 99 07897 of the applicant, all the characteristics of which are incorporated here. Floor cleaning results from the combined action of a distributed cleaning liquid by a spray boom, and brushing carried out at constant pressure by a plurality of rotating brushes.

Cette opération de lavage donne toute satisfaction mais nécessite ensuite une opération de rinçage à l'eau, laissant sur la surface, après le passage du véhicule une importante quantité d'eau résiduelle entraínant quelques inconvénients par exemple au plan de la sécurité (risque de chutes de piétons par glissade) au plan esthétique (aspect mouillé ou auréoles de séchage).This washing operation gives full satisfaction but then requires a rinsing operation with water, leaving on the surface, after passing the vehicle a large amount of residual water causing some disadvantages by example in terms of safety (risk of falling pedestrians by slipping) in terms of aesthetic (wet look or drying rings).

Pour pallier ces inconvénients la demanderesse a eu l'idée d'aspirer l'eau résiduelle après l'opération de rinçage, avec un dispositif supplémentaire, adaptable sur le véhicule de brossage-nettoyage lui-même.To overcome these drawbacks, the applicant had the idea of sucking up the water residual after the rinsing operation, with an additional, adaptable device on the brushing-cleaning vehicle itself.

Un but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif d'aspiration d'eau résiduelle comportant des aménagements spécifiques pour remplir des fonctions et/ou résoudre des problèmes spécifiques aux véhicules brosseurs laveurs, problèmes que l'on ne rencontre pas sur des laveuses, ou des laveuses - cireuses des sols d'habitations ou de locaux, du type de celles décrites dans le document NL 6 515 368.An object of the invention is to provide a residual water suction device with specific arrangements to fulfill functions and / or solve problems specific to vehicle scrubbers, problems not found on washers or floor polishers of dwellings or premises, of the type described in document NL 6 515 368.

Les dispositifs d'aspiration des laveuses et/ou cireuses ne peuvent être transposés aux véhicules ou machines pour nettoyer des surfaces urbaines, par exemple dallées ou pavées ou bétonnées. En effet, ces surfaces, contrairement aux parquets, ne sont pas uniformes, elles comportent par construction des déclivités pour l'écoulement et l'évacuation des eaux, et se déforment dans le temps (en particulier les pavés auto bloquants). La largeur de la surface à aspirer, ses déclivités, et la taille des déchets, le manque de souplesse des raclettes sont les principales sources de problèmes à résoudre dans l'application aux véhicules automobiles de voiries.The suction devices of washers and / or floor polishers cannot be transposed to vehicles or machines for cleaning urban surfaces, for example example paved or paved or concrete. Indeed, these surfaces, unlike parquet floors, are not uniform, they include, by construction, gradients for the flow and evacuation of water, and deform over time (in especially self-blocking pavers). The width of the surface to be vacuumed, its declivities, and the size of the waste, the lack of flexibility of the squeegees are the main sources of problems to be solved in the application to vehicles road cars.

Ces problèmes sont résolus par l'invention qui consiste en un dispositif d'aspiration pour un véhicule de nettoyage-brossage de surfaces dallées, pavées ou bétonnées, ledit véhicule comportant les moyens de brossage et d'aspersion, caractérisé en ce qu'il est composé essentiellement de deux bras racleurs horizontaux, inclinés par rapport au déplacement du véhicule, disposés devant l'entrée d'une buse d'aspiration de façon à racler le sol pour rassembler l'eau résiduelle et la diriger vers ladite entrée de la buse, elle-même raccordée à une turbine du véhicule par un tuyau, le tuyau ayant des dimensions aptes à aspirer les déchets de voiries, et en ce que les deux bras racleurs sont disposés selon un angle aigu de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, formant un V s'élargissant depuis la buse vers les extrémités latérales de l'ensemble de brossage-aspersion, chaque bras racleur présentant une section verticale en forme de canal.These problems are solved by the invention which consists of a device for a vehicle for cleaning and brushing paved, paved or concreted, said vehicle comprising the brushing and spraying means, characterized in that it is essentially composed of two scraper arms horizontal, inclined with respect to the movement of the vehicle, arranged in front the inlet of a suction nozzle so as to scrape the ground to collect water residual and direct it towards said inlet of the nozzle, itself connected to a vehicle turbine by a pipe, the pipe having dimensions capable of sucking the road waste, and in that the two scraper arms are arranged at an angle acute on either side of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, forming a widening V from the nozzle to the lateral ends of the brushing-spraying assembly, each scraper arm having a vertical section in the form of a channel.

De façon préférentielle les deux bras racleurs sont montés de façon à pouvoir monter ou descendre dans un plan vertical indépendamment l'un de l'autre par rapport à la buse d'aspiration et comportent chacun des moyens permettant de les appliquer sur le sol, et des moyens pour neutraliser les effets élastiques dus à la ou aux bavettes caoutchouc.Preferably, the two scraper arms are mounted so that they can go up or down in a vertical plane independently of each other by with respect to the suction nozzle and each comprise means making it possible to apply to the ground, and means to neutralize the elastic effects due to the or with rubber flaps.

L'invention concerne également un véhicule automoteur équipé d'un dispositif d'aspiration du type ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a self-propelled vehicle equipped with a device of the above type.

The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description below of an embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the following figures:
  • FIG. 1: general view of a brushing-cleaning vehicle on which the invention can for example be installed,

Un dispositif d'aspiration d'eau de rinçage (1) selon l'invention est installé sous le véhicule (2) juste derrière un ensemble (3) de brossage et rampe d'aspersion ou tous autres moyens de brossage et d'aspersion, par rapport au sens de déplacement du véhicule, et il est composé essentiellement de deux bras racleurs (4) horizontaux inclinés par rapport au déplacement du véhicule disposés devant l'entrée d'une buse d'aspiration (8) de façon à racler le sol pour rassembler l'eau résiduelle et la diriger vers ladite entrée de la buse, elle-même comportant une bouche de raccordement équipée des moyens nécessaires à son raccordement à la sortie du tuyau (11) d'aspiration des déchets de voirie, lui-même raccordé à la sortie de la turbine du véhicule de nettoyage urbain.A rinsing water suction device (1) according to the invention is installed under the vehicle (2) just behind a set (3) of brushing and spray bar or all other means of brushing and spraying, with respect to the sense of movement of the vehicle, and it is essentially composed of two scraper arms (4) horizontal inclined with respect to the movement of the vehicle arranged in front the inlet of a suction nozzle (8) so as to scrape the ground to collect the water residual and direct it towards said inlet of the nozzle, itself comprising a connection mouth equipped with the means necessary for its connection to the outlet of the street waste suction pipe (11), itself connected to the outlet of the turbine of the urban cleaning vehicle.

On décrit d'abord une première variante de réalisatlon en liaison avec les figures 1 à 4. We first describe a first variant of implementation in conjunction with Figures 1 to 4.

Les deux bras racleurs (4) sont disposés selon un angle aigu de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal (5) du véhicule, formant un V s'élargissant depuis la buse (8) vers les extrémités latérales des moyens de brossages et d'aspersion (3).The two scraper arms (4) are arranged at an acute angle on either side of the longitudinal axis (5) of the vehicle, forming a V widening from the nozzle (8) towards the lateral ends of the brushing and spraying means (3).

Chaque bras racleur (4) présente une section verticale en forme de canal (figure 4) fermé sur le dessus par un châssis en tôle (6) à section en U renversé, dont la bordure avant (6a) et la bordure arrière (6b) sont équipées sur toute leur longueur d'une bavette caoutchouc (7a) et (7b).Each scraper arm (4) has a vertical channel-shaped section (Figure 4) closed on top by a sheet metal frame (6) with inverted U section, whose front edge (6a) and rear edge (6b) are fitted on their whole length of a rubber bib (7a) and (7b).

La bavette arrière (7b) racle le sol et la bavette avant (7a) est moins haute que la bavette arrière (7b) de manière laisser passer l'eau et le courant d'aspiration.The rear flap (7b) scrapes the ground and the front flap (7a) is lower than the rear flap (7b) so as to let the water and the suction current pass.

Une première spécificité pour l'application au nettoyage de voirie est la largeur de la surface à aspirer et/ou ses irrégularités.A first specificity for the application to road cleaning is the width of the surface to be vacuumed and / or its irregularities.

Pour permettre à ces deux bras de suivre les irrégularités du sol, ils sont montés de façon à pouvoir monter ou descendre dans un plan vertical et indépendamment l'un de l'autre, par exemple par un moyen d'articulation prévu sur la buse d'aspiration, et l'extrémité latérale de chacun d'entre eux est équipée d'une roulette (9) réglable en hauteur, ou tout moyen équivalent permettant d'obtenir une pression de préférence constante de la bavette arrière (7b) sur le sol.To allow these two arms to follow the irregularities of the ground, they are mounted so that it can go up or down in a vertical plane and independently of one another, for example by means of articulation provided on the suction nozzle, and the lateral end of each of them is equipped with a wheel (9) adjustable in height, or any equivalent means enabling a preferably constant pressure of the rear flap (7b) on the ground.

Pour neutraliser les effets élastiques dus à la bavette arrière (7b) légèrement comprimée sur le sol, on prévoit par exemple mais non limitativement sur chaque bras racleur (4), un vérin à gaz (10) fixé à la buse d'aspiration et dont l'extrémité de la tige est reliée au bras articulé correspondant, par exemple sur le dessus du châssis tôle (6).To neutralize the elastic effects due to the rear flap (7b) slightly compressed on the ground, for example but not limited to each scraper arm (4), a gas spring (10) fixed to the suction nozzle and the end of which the rod is connected to the corresponding articulated arm, for example on the top of the sheet metal frame (6).

Pour augmenter nettement la puissance d'aspiration de l'eau résiduelle et permettre le passage et l'aspiration des déchets de voirie (gros déchets, graviers, papiers ou autres) le tuyau d'aspiration (11) est celui d'une balayeuse de voirie (diamètre supérieur à 50 mm et par exemple de 250 mm au lieu de 50 mm environ pour une laveuse ou laveuse- cireuse classique) et la turbine d'aspiration (non représentée) a la même puissance que celle d'une balayeuse de voirie.To significantly increase the suction power of residual water and allow the passage and aspiration of road waste (large waste, gravel, paper or other) the suction pipe (11) is that of a street sweeper (diameter greater than 50 mm and for example 250 mm instead of approximately 50 mm for a standard washer or washer) and the suction turbine (not shown) has the same power as that of a street sweeper.

Les côtés et l'arrière de l'entrée (8a) de la buse (8) sont également équipées de bavettes caoutchouc (8c) latérales, bavettes arrières (8d) au même niveau que les bavettes arrières (7b) de manière à racler le sol, et d'une bavette avant (8e) moins haute, comme les bavettes (7a) pour l'aspiration et le passage de l'eau.The sides and rear of the inlet (8a) of the nozzle (8) are also equipped with side rubber flaps (8c), rear flaps (8d) at the same level as the rear flaps (7b) so as to scrape the ground, and a front flap (8e) less high, like the flaps (7a) for the suction and the passage of water.

L'ensemble des bavettes de la buse (8a, 8c, 8d, 8e) forme ainsi un volume d'aspiration communiquant et prolongé par les deux canaux intérieurs des deux bras mis en dépression par la turbine.. The set of nozzle flaps (8a, 8c, 8d, 8e) thus forms a volume communicating suction and extended by the two inner channels of the two arm depressed by the turbine.

De façon optionnelle mais non obligatoire et pour pouvoir aspirer les gros déchets on prévoit à l'avant de l'entrée de la buse (8), un volet articulé (12) portant la bavette avant (8e) de la buse et que l'on peut commander depuis le poste de conduite par un système à tringlerie (14) et câble (15), et soulever en fonction de la taille des déchets rencontrés (boites, bouteilles, papiers etc...) pour faciliter leur entrée dans la buse (8).Optionally but not mandatory and to be able to vacuum large waste is provided at the front of the inlet of the nozzle (8), an articulated flap (12) bearing the front flap (8e) of the nozzle and which can be controlled from the driven by a linkage system (14) and cable (15), and lift according to the size of the waste encountered (boxes, bottles, paper etc ...) to facilitate their entry into the nozzle (8).

De façon préférentielle mais non obligatoire, on peut dégager du sol les bras racleurs depuis le poste de conduite et la buse (8) est équipée d'une roulette d'appui (13).Preferably but not obligatorily, the arms can be released from the ground scrapers from the driving position and the nozzle (8) is fitted with a caster support (13).

On décrit à présent une deuxième variante de réalisation en liaison avec la figure 5.A second variant embodiment is now described in connection with the figure 5.

Celle-ci propose un dispositif à bras racleurs en V à empattement modifiable depuis le poste de conduite du véhicule de façon à pouvoir réduire l'empattement ou encombrement en largeur desdits bras, par exemple au cours de brossage lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés ou par exemple lorsque le véhicule est en stationnement.This offers a V-shaped scraper arm device with modifiable wheelbase from the driver's seat so that the wheelbase can be reduced or overall dimensions of said arms, for example during brushing when they are not used or for example when the vehicle is parked.

Un bras racleur (101) est réalisé en deux parties (101a, 101b) de même section en forme de canal dont une partie horizontale (101a) montée sur la buse non représentée et une extrémité pliable (101b) apte à se replier dans au moins un plan de pivotement, et de préférence dans deux plans dont un premier plan vertical P1 et un deuxième plan horizontal P2.A scraper arm (101) is made in two parts (101a, 101b) of the same section in the form of a channel, a horizontal part (101a) mounted on the nozzle not shown and a foldable end (101b) able to fold in at least a pivot plane, and preferably in two planes including a first vertical plane P 1 and a second horizontal plane P 2 .

Comme dans la première variante, chaque partie (101a, 101b) du bras racleur est fermée sur le dessus par un châssis en tôle (106) à section en U renversé, dont la bordure avant (106a) et la bordure arrière (106b) sont équipées sur toute leur longueur d'une bavette caoutchouc (107a) et (107b), la bavette arrière raclant le sol et la bavette avant, moins haute, laissant passer l'eau et le courant d'aspiration.As in the first variant, each part (101a, 101b) of the scraper arm is closed on top by a sheet metal frame (106) with inverted U section, of which the front edge (106a) and the rear edge (106b) are fitted on their whole length of a rubber flap (107a) and (107b), the rear flap scraping the ground and the lower front flap, allowing water and suction current to pass.

Les moyens de pivotement, dans le plan vertical P1 sont composés d'une part d'un axe de rotation(103) horizontal situé au-dessus du bras (101) et dans son plan de séparation P3 ledit axe étant solidarisé à l'extrémité pliable (101b) par tout moyen de fixation (104) approprié, et d'autre part d'un vérin (102) hydraulique ou électrique, disposé au-dessus de la partie horizontale (101a) et dans le plan P1.The pivoting means, in the vertical plane P 1 are composed on the one hand of a horizontal axis of rotation (103) located above the arm (101) and in its separation plane P 3 said axis being secured to the foldable end (101b) by any suitable fixing means (104), and on the other hand a hydraulic or electric jack (102), disposed above the horizontal part (101a) and in the plane P 1 .

L'invention s'applique à un véhicule du type précité comportant par exemple un ensemble de brossage-aspersion réalisant un nettoyage des surfaces urbaines par l'action d'un liquide de nettoyage distribué par une rampe d'aspersion et l'action de brossage réalisée à pression constante par une pluralité de brosses rotatives, réalisant ensuite un rinçage des surfaces par aspersion d'eau par la rampe d'aspersion, opération laissant un dépôt d'eau résiduelle sur les surfaces. The invention applies to a vehicle of the aforementioned type comprising for example a brushing-spraying assembly performing cleaning of urban surfaces by the action of a cleaning liquid distributed by a spray boom and the action of brushing carried out at constant pressure by a plurality of rotary brushes, then performing a rinsing of the surfaces by spraying water with the ramp spraying operation, leaving a deposit of residual water on the surfaces.
