Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a movable floor levelling vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a movable floor levelling vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An example of such a vehicle is disclosed by US 3 409 330 A .
  • Movable floor levelling vehicles with which floors with an uneven surface may be levelled exist in the art.
  • a movable floor levelling vehicle is known to which a pair of grinding or polishing tools is mounted on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the body, the distance between the grinding or polishing tools being variable.
  • Each grinding or polishing tool comprises a grinding head, which is rotatable in a direction parallel to the floor.
  • the floor levelling vehicle disclosed in EP-B-0541657 further comprises a control system for controlling the grinding depth of each grinding or polishing tool with respect to the floor.
  • the control system operates in response to data received in it, which represent the contours of the floor as it is and the desired final contours of the floor and its degree of flatness.
  • US-A-3.409.330 describes a wheeled pavement surfacing machine, with an open main frame and an auxiliary frame, to which front and rear rotary surfacing means are mounted, at a position between the front and rear wheel means of the machine, for performing various surfacing operations on a pavement.
  • the front rotary surfacing means include laterally spaced front rotary cutters which are relatively widely spaced.
  • the rear rotary surfacing means either include laterally spaced rear rotary cutters which are relatively narrowly spaced, or comprise a surfacing drum for smoothening the surface that has been worked by the front cutters.
  • the front wheels comprise laterally spaced front wheels which are interconnected by a rotatable shaft and a caster wheel.
  • the caster wheel is located at a distance behind the front wheels and is rotated about the same transversal axis as the front wheels.
  • the rear wheels comprise on opposite sides of the rear end of the main frame a tandem of rear-truck wheels.
  • the rear-truck wheels preferably run on a path leveled by the rotary surfacing means.
  • the present invention now meets the needs of providing a floor levelling device with an improved efficiency, in particular a floor levelling device with which the levelling of an undulating floor may be carried out in a faster manner.
  • the frontside displacement means are an elongated skate which extends in longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and is arranged to slide over the tops of the undulations so as to reduce the up- and downward movement of the frontside of the vehicle.
  • the time needed for levelling a floor may be reduced from a few days to a few hours.
  • the bulk part removing means first remove the bulk part of the undulation in the moving direction of the vehicle. Due to the nature of this bulk removing action, this may be done within a shortened period of time, for example, by splintering the material forming the undulation into smaller parts. However, the floor surface remaining after having been worked by the bulk part removing means still shows small-scale roughness. This small-sale roughness is then smoothened by the action of the at least one grinding or polishing tool.
  • the basic function of the grinding or polishing tool comprises smoothening of the floor surface worked by the bulk part removing means.
  • the grinding action of the prior art device comprises rotating the diamond grinding discs in a direction parallel to the floor surface.
  • the removed material is ground into powder, the removed material serving to further grind the remaining part of the undulation from the floor. This way of removing undulations is laborious and time consuming, the action of moulding the removed material to powder requiring a lot of energy.
  • the bulk part removing means extend in transversal direction of the vehicle to allow a simultaneous levelling of a floor surface in a transversal and longitudinal direction, or in other words in the moving direction of the levelling vehicle as well as in a direction perpendicular to this moving direction.
  • the device of this invention is suitable for levelling a wide variety of floors which may either be a new floor or an already existing floor.
  • the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding tool are positioned at a position between the front- and backside displacement means.
  • the length of the levelling vehicle can be kept limited, since the distance taken in longitudinal direction the levelling vehicle between the front- and backside displacement means is used to position the bulk part removing means and the grinding or polishing tool.
  • the bulk part removing means preferably have a width, which is equal to or larger than the distance d 3 in transverse direction of the levelling vehicle between the centres of the backside displacement means In transverse direction of the levelling vehicle.
  • the bulk part removing means are preferably positioned at a first distance d 1 from the centre of the frontside displacement means and at a second distance d 2 from the centre of backside displacement means, d 1 ⁇ d 2 .
  • the frontside displacement means are moved over the original surface that still needs to be treated and which still contains the undulations.
  • the positioning of the bulk part removing means shifted, towards the backside of the floor levelling device in the vicinity of the backside displacement means, has the effect that the extent to which the magnitude of the up- and downward movement of the front side of the vehicle is sensed at the height of the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding or polishing tool may be reduced.
  • the frontside displacement means take an undulation
  • the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding or polishing tool are at that moment lifted over a distance in height direction which is smaller than the distance over which they would have been lifted in the case the bulk part removing means would have been positioned closer to the front side.
  • the influence of undulations met by the frontside displacement means to the levelling operation may be minimised, or In other words, the extent to which the undulations are sensed by the bulk part removing means is levelled out. Consequently, the height over which undulations are removed by the bulk part removing means at the time the frontside displacement means take an undulation, is larger than in the case where the bulk part removing means would have been positioned closer to the front side.
  • the amplitude of the undulation arising in the part of the floor worked by the at least one grinding or polishing tool and bulk part removing means at the time the frontside displacement means take an undulation is not as high as in the case where the at least one grinding or polishing tool/bulk part removing means would be positioned closer to the front of the vehicle.
  • the result is an improved removal of occurring undulations, according to which undulations with a small and middle large wavelength are removed.
  • the undulations with a larger wavelength are however not completely removed: the amplitude or height of these large-wavelength undulations is only levelled out to some extent.
  • Such undulations with a larger wavelength however do not adversely affect the movement of a forklift. This contributes to the faster operation of the floor-levelling device of this invention.
  • the ratio between the first and the second distance d 1 /d 2 may vary within wide ranges, and is preferably between 1:1 and 40:1.
  • Undulations occurring in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of a forklift i.e. in transversal direction of a corridor and of the vehicle, may be removed by the presence of
  • the bulk part removing means comprise at least one sawing device.
  • any other suitable means for removing at least a bulk part of the undulation known to the man in the art may also be used, such as for example a diamond stone capable of splintering the material forming the undulation.
  • the movement of the levelling vehicle is operated from a position remote from the levelling vehicle. This entails the advantage that the levelling operation can be done in an easier way.
  • the invention also relates to a method for levelling floors using the floor levelling vehicle as described above.
  • the method comprises breaking down and removing at least a bulk part of the undulations in height direction thereof by the bulk part removing means, and subsequently smoothening the surface area part worked by the bulk part removing means by the at least one grinding or polishing tool.
  • the method for levelling floors comprises
  • the floor levelling vehicle 1. shown in Figure 1 comprises a vehicle body 2 with a front side 20 and a backside 21.
  • the vehicle body 2 is supported by frontside and backside displacement means 12, resp. 13.
  • the floor levelling vehicle 1 further comprises a pair of grinding or polishing tools 3 mounted in the vicinity of the backside displacement means 13, and a bulk part removing means 4 positioned in front of the grinding or polishing tools 3.
  • the bulk part removing means (4) and the pair of grinding tools (3) are positioned at a position between the frontside and backside displacement means (12, 13).
  • the bulk part removing means 4 and the grinding or polishing tools 3 may be mounted in front of the frontside displacement means 12, whereby the bulk part removing means 4 are positioned in front of the grinding or polishing tools 3.
  • the bulk part removing means 4 extend over a length which is equal to or larger than the distance d 3 in transverse direction of the levelling vehicle 1 between the centres 16 of the backside displacement means 13 positioned on opposite sides of the vehicle body 2.
  • the bulk part removing means 4 may extend over a length smaller than the distance d 3 .
  • the bulk part removing means 4 comprise at least one sawing device 4 as is shown in Figure 1 .
  • any other suitable means for removing at least a bulk part of the undulation known to the man in the art may also be used.
  • the sawing device 4 is preferably located at a first distance d 1 from the centre 22 of the frontside displacement means 12 and at a second distance d 2 from the centre 23 of backside displacement means 13, d 1 ⁇ d 2 .
  • the first distance d 1 between the centre 22 of the frontside displacement means 12 of the vehicle and the sawing device 4 is substantially larger than the second distance d 2 between the centre 23 of the backside displacement means 13 of the vehicle and the sawing device 4.
  • the ratio of d 1 with respect to d 2 varies from 1:1 to 40:1.
  • the sawing device 4 used in the device of this invention may be any sawing device known to the man skilled In the art.
  • a preferred sawing device comprises a plurality of substantially circular sawing heads 7, mounted parallel to each other, onto a rotation axis 8.
  • the rotation axis 8 extends In transversal direction of the vehicle body 2.
  • the length of the rotation axis 8 may be smaller, equal or larger than the width of the vehicle body 2.
  • the outer circumference of these sawing heads 7 comprises for instance teeth, or alternatively, small pins.
  • any other sawing device known to the man skilled in the art may be used with the vehicle of the present invention. It may for instance also be possible to perform the bulk part removing action by a type of grinding stone.
  • Each axis extends over a part of the width of the vehicle body 2.
  • a plurality of circular sawing heads 7 is mounted to both axes. It is evident that any other arrangement of the circular sawing heads 7 on the rotation axis 8 is also possible. It is also possible to add or remove sawing heads 7. In that way it is possible to adjust the width of the path or track to be levelled, and in the case two parallel tracks are levelled, to adjust the distance in between the two parallel tracks. From the above it is clear that the position and the length over which the sawing heads 7 are mounted with respect to the vehicle body 2, will determine the width of the track or tracks that are levelled,
  • the sawing device 4 is provided to remove the bulk of the undulations sensed by it from the floor surface. As the sawing heads 7 are rotated around their axis 8, the material forming the undulation is splintered and in that way removed from the floor surface. The removed material is received in a collector mounted on the vehicle. The floor surface remaining after it has been worked by the sawing heads 7 is uneven, somewhat toothed and needs to be further smoothened. This is done by the pair of grinding or polishing tools 3, which pas over the part of the floor surface that has been previously worked by the sawing heads 7. However if so desired and if the roughness of the floor so requires, two or more sawing devices 4 may be mounted one behind the other in longitudinal direction of the levelling vehicle 2.
  • the pair of grinding or polishing tools 3 is positioned further to the backside 21 of the vehicle body 2 as compared to the sawing device 4, rearward of the sawing device. As such, they can smoothen the small-scale roughness in the surface remaining from the bulk removing action of the sawing device.
  • the grinding or polishing tool 3 comprises at least one substantially circular grinding head 9 the surface of which extends in a direction substantially parallel to the floor surface to be worked. This grinding head 9 may be a diamond grinding disc. However any other grinding or polishing tool known to the man skilled in the art may be used with the vehicle of the present invention.
  • the grinding or polishing tool 3 may for instance also comprise a type of grinding stone.
  • a grinding or polishing tool 3 is positioned on each side of the vehicle 2, i.e. on the right as well as on the left side of the vehicle, each grinding or polishing tool 3 comprising one grinding head 9. It may however also be possible to have more than one pair of grinding or polishing tools 3 positioned behind each other.
  • the grinding heads 9 of each grinding or polishing tool 3 are mounted to a rotation axis, which extends in height direction of the vehicle 2.
  • the grinding heads 9 are rotated around the rotation axis by a driving (not shown).
  • the diameter of the grinding heads 9 is selected such that at least the width of the floor surface area part worked by the sawing device 4 is smoothened by the grinding heads 9.
  • the sawing heads 7 are accordingly mounted in the middle with respect to the vehicle body to the rotation axis 8 over a length of the rotation axis equal to the desired width of the track, such that the grinding or polishing tool 3 passes over the surface area part that has been previously worked by the sawing heads 7.
  • the diameter of the grinding head 9 is selected such that at least the width of the floor surface area part worked by the sawing device 4 is smoothened by the grinding head 9 of the grinding tool 3.
  • the grinding or polishing tool 3 may also comprise two grinding heads 9 supported on both ends of a support arm fixed to the vehicle chassis by means of a rotation axis which extends in height direction of the vehicle 2 (not shown).
  • the support arm is rotationally mounted around this axis to allow a different positioning of the grinding heads in the same horizontal plane with respect to the floor.
  • both grinding heads are in line with respect to each other. In this case, the track grinded by the grinding heads is equal to the width of one grinding head.
  • the support arm When, however, the support arm is positioned under an angle ⁇ with respect to the longitudinal axis 10, such that both grinding heads are in a staggered position with respect to each other in longitudinal direction of the levelling vehicle, a track with a larger width is ground.
  • the angle ⁇ under which the support arm is positioned with respect to the longitudinal axis 10 is preferably such that the track that is ground by one grinding head overlaps the track that is ground by the other grinding head over a part of the width of the track.
  • the levelling operation may not be done in one single step and has to be performed in two subsequent steps.
  • the first step of the levelling operation at the left and right side of the vehicle body a number of sawing heads are mounted to the rotation axis, each time over a certain maximal allowed distance, e.g. 500 mm.
  • a pair of grinding or polishing tools are mounted behind these sawing heads such that they can work the surface of the floor previously worked by the sawing heads.
  • the backside displacement means are in this first step displaced in the tracks worked by bulk part removing means and the pair of grinding or polishing tools.
  • a second step the surface area part in between the two levelled parallel tracks needs to be levelled.
  • a levelling vehicle is used whereby in the middle with respect to the vehicle body a number of sawing heads are mounted to the rotation axis over the required length for working the floor part in between the previously levelled tracks.
  • a grinding or polishing tool is positioned at a position between the left- and right backside displacement means.
  • the backside displacement means are in this second step not displaced over the surface area part worked by the bulk part removing means and the grinding tool levelled in this second step.
  • both the frontside as well as the backside displacement means move over substantially the same surface area of the corridor in this second step of the levelling operation as they did in the first step. This feature allows to avoid height difference between the two parallel tracks levelled in the first step and the track in between these two tracks levelled in the second step.
  • the frontside displacement means 12 are positioned at the front side 20 of the vehicle body 2.
  • the frontside displacement means 12 preferably have an elongated shape, they are mounted to the central longitudinal axis 10 of the vehicle body 2 and extend in longitudinal direction of the vehicle 2.
  • the central mounting is preferred as this allows simplifying the device. It further allows reducing the influence of undulations occurring in transversal direction of the levelling vehicle 1 to the result of the levelling operation. This allows improving the relative flatness of the floor.
  • the frontside displacement means 12 are preferably independently suspended to the vehicle body 2.
  • the frontside displacement 12 means are an elongated skate which extends in longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 2, ( Figure 1 ), It is also possible to have two parallel rows of skates, whereby each row is on one side of the longitudinal axis 10 of the levelling vehicle, surrounded by a rubber track to smoothen their movement when moving over floor undulations.
  • the elongated skate may comprise a sliding strip attached to its bottom face to smoothen its movement, or may comprise a plurality of wheels which extend through a central slit in the bottom face of the skate ( Figure 1 ) that is moving over the floor surface.
  • any other displacement means known to the man skilled in the art may be used.
  • Undulations extending in width direction of the vehicle body and undulations in the moving direction always occur together. However, to allow explaining how each type of undulations is removed, they are treated as they would occur separately.
  • an elongated skate as frontside displacement means allows reducing the magnitude of the up-and downward movement of the front side of the vehicle when taking the undulations in the moving direction of the vehicle at the position of the sawing and grinding means. This has as a result that taken in the moving direction of the vehicle, an improved removal of the material forming the undulations may be achieved, or in other words that the removed height varies within small ranges. As a result a levelled track may be obtained the level of which may contain remaining undulations. The height of these undulations may however be within acceptable dimensions, which are too small to cause pitching of a fork lift truck.
  • an elongated skate a as frontside displacement means allows removing undulations, having short wavelengths in the moving direction. Because of its length, the skate slides over the tops of the undulations and is virtually insensitive to irregularities at small distance from each other. As a result, the up-and downward movements of the front side of the vehicle will be reduced. The amount of up-and downward movements sensed by the sawing device 4 and the at least one grinding or polishing tool 3 will be reduced accordingly. This has the result that, taken in the moving direction of the vehicle, a smoothening of the levelled track is obtained.
  • the backside displacement means 13 may, similar to the frontside displacement means 12, take different forms.
  • the backside displacement means 13 differ from the frontside displacement means 12 in that they are provided on opposite sides of the vehicle body 2, i. e. the left as well as on the right side of the vehicle body 2.
  • the position and distance between opposite backside displacement means 12 is preferably adjusted such that the backside displacement means are moving in the tracks that have been previously levelled by the sawing heads 7 and the grinding or polishing tools 3.
  • Figure 1 on the left and right side of the vehicle body 2 one pair of wheels mounted one behind the other in longitudinal direction of the levelling vehicle is present. Each wheel pair is suspended by a suspension leg 17 to the vehicle.
  • clean water is fed from an external source to the sawing and grinding device. Dirty water and debris may be withdrawn from the grinding area by a vacuum pump 24.
  • the levelling vehicle may be provided with a power pack in the form of a diesel engine coupled to a hydraulic pump which powers the hydraulics of the system through a controllable valving arrangement.
  • a diesel fuel tank and a hydraulic oil storage tank may be mounted (not shown).
  • the floor levelling device of this invention has features which ensure that the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding tool are maintained substantially horizontal. This will in general be done in response to a signal received from a sensor, which detects a height difference between the left and right side of the vehicle at the position of the sawing device 4 in case one of these sides takes an undulation.
  • a sensor which detects a height difference between the left and right side of the vehicle at the position of the sawing device 4 in case one of these sides takes an undulation.
  • one or more of the backside displacement means may be sunk or lifted with respect to the vehicle body to maintain the vehicle body as horizontal as possible. This may for example be achieved by means of a hydraulic or electrical mechanism for adjusting the length of the suspension device 17 by which the backside displacement means are suspended to the vehicle 1.
  • the backside displacement means are constructed as a cascade of wheel pairs or a skate
  • the inclination of the vehicle is reduced when the backside displacement means take an undulation extending in the moving direction of the vehicle that had not been worked by the bulk part removing means and the grinding or polishing tool.
  • the extent to which this undulation is sensed by the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding or polishing tool is reduced. Consequently, the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding or polishing tool are lifted over a distance in height direction that is smaller than the distance over which they would have been lifted in the case where the backside displacement wheels would comprise one single wheel.
  • the height over which the floor, passed by the bulk part removing means and the at least one grinding or polishing tool while the front wheels ride over the irregularity, is ground by the bulk part removing means is larger as in the case where the sawing tools are positioned closer to the front wheels.
  • the amplitude of the undulation arising, i.e. the second undulation, in that part of the floor ground by the at least one grinding or polishing tool/ bulk part removing means at the time the backside displacement means ride over the first irregularity is not as high as it would have been the case when the backside displacement means would comprise one single wheel, and has a lower amplitude than the first irregularity.
  • the level below the contact surface between the backside displacement means and the floor surface to which the bulk part removing means/grinding or polishing tools level the floor can be adjusted in function of the deepest 'hole' below a certain reference level in the floor. This is termed the 'offset' of the levelling vehicle.
  • the offset can be adjusted by reducing or extending the length of the suspension legs of the backside displacement means, such that the levelling vehicle is situated at a smaller or larger distance to the floor surface.
  • the bulk part removing means are fixed at the bottom side of the levelling vehicle, the bulk part removing means are consequently pushed to a greater or lesser extent below the contact surface between the backside displacement means and the floor surface.
  • the offset is adjusted only once at the beginning of the levelling operation and kept constant during the levelling operation.
  • the offset may be adjusted during the levelling operation. In this way it is prevented that the sawing device grind the floor to an unnecessarily deep level below the contact surface between the backside displacement means and the floor surface at places where this is not required.
  • the final contour of the floor is determined by the physical relations within the levelling vehicle. This in contrast to the levelling vehicle of the prior art, where the final contour of the floor is pre-determined from the outside.
  • the movement of the levelling vehicle may be operated from a position remote from the vehicle. It may however also be done from the vehicle itself.
  • a relatively small corridor perpendicular to these parallel corridors is present.
  • the so-called transfer area allows the trucks to transfer from one corridor to another.
  • the floor levelling vehicle as such would be too long to get turned in this space in order to move to another corridor.
  • the skate may be lifted from the ground and be pushed backwards in longitudinal direction of the levelling vehicle underneath the vehicle body.
  • the skate is demounted from the levelling vehicle.
  • the skate now extends away from the vehicle body over only a minor part of its length, thereby reducing the length of the levelling vehicle.
  • the castor wheels 19 present at the left and the right side of the skate are extended in height direction.
  • the levelling vehicle now rests upon these castor wheels at the front side and can turn on these wheels.
