Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for maintaining a building wall equipped with a tubular stowage structure.
• the invention will find its main application in the automatic cleaning of glass surfaces.
• the maintenance device can also be used for the maintenance of walls or other surfaces and in particular by spraying water, steam, air, sand or paint.
• the maintenance of building walls is carried out by specialized personnel.
• the staff use a motorized structure placed at the level of the building's terrace equipped with a winch and connected to a nacelle in which they take place.
• the winch is controlled by nacelle personnel who can, therefore, move over at least part of the wall and perform surface maintenance.
• the present invention provides for overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks and, to this end, provides an automatic maintenance device for the walls of a building.
• the invention also relates to a maintenance device for the maintenance of building walls comprising external edges at the upper surface of the wall.
• the invention also relates to a light structure maintenance device which can easily be put in place and removed from the building.
• the invention also relates to a modular maintenance device in which the maintenance module is chosen according to the work to be carried out.
• the invention thus relates to a device for maintaining a building wall equipped with a tubular stowage structure comprising an operating module, a maintenance module and connecting means between said operating module and said maintenance module allowing movement of the maintenance module over at least part of the surface of the wall.
• the maneuvering module of the maintenance device comprises securing means on said tubular stowage structure making it possible to arrange the entire maintenance device at the level of the wall.
• FIG. 1 a view of a exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention placed on a vertical wall
• Figure 2 a view of the device of Figure 1 placed on an inclined wall
• Figure 3 a sectional view of the device according to the invention
• Figure 4 a sectional view of the device according to the invention.
• the maintenance device 1 is placed on a wall 2 of a building equipped with a tubular stowage structure 3.
• the maintenance device 1 comprises an operating module 4 and a maintenance module 5.
• the maneuvering module 4 comprises securing means 7 to the stowage structure 3 making it possible to arrange the entire maintenance device 1 at the level of the wall 2.
• said securing means 7 consist of at least two upper rollers 8 coming into contact with the upper part 9 of the tube of the lashing structure 3 allowing the suspension of the operating module 4 on the structure
• the tread 10 of the upper rollers 8 advantageously follows the profile of the upper part 9 of the tube of the lashing structure 3.
• a pebble s the upper 8 said drive roller is connected via a drive shaft 11 to a motor 12.
• the other upper rollers 8 are connected to the drive roller by means of a drive belt 13.
• three upper rollers 8 are provided, the drive roller placed between the two other upper rollers 8 being driven by the transmission shaft 11.
• Said locking means 14 also make it possible to increase the contact between the upper rollers 8 and the upper part 9 of the tube of the lashing structure 3 facilitating the movement of the operating module 4 along the stowage structure 3.
• said locking means 14 consist of at least one adjustable lower roller 16.
• l spacing between the upper rollers 8 and the lower roller 16 is calculated to allow sufficient passage authorizing the suspension of the operating module 4.
• the spacing between the upper rollers 8 and the lower roller 16 is then reduced by moving the latter until it comes into contact with the lower part 15 of the lashing structure 3.
• Said at least wheel 17 facilitates the movement of the operating module 4 by limiting the friction of the operating module 4 against the wall 2
• the dimensions of said at least one wheel 17 will be adapted to the stowage structure 3 so that the operating module 4 is located in a plane parallel to that of the wall 2.
• connecting means 6 are provided between the operating module 4 and the maintenance module 5 consisting of at least two straps 18 connected, on the one hand, to a reel 19 and, on the other hand, to a plate 20. Said connecting means 6 thus formed allow the straps 18 to be kept parallel during the winding and unwinding operations.
• connection plate 20 makes it possible to maintain the connection plate 20 in a plane perpendicular to that of the straps 18 preventing an imbalance at the level of the maintenance module 5, in particular, during the operations of winding and unwinding of the straps 18.
• the reel 19 is preferably provided at the operating module 4 and the connection plate 20 comprises fixing means 21 with the maintenance module 5. This arrangement is particularly advantageous since it allows easy attachment and unhooking of the module. maintenance with respect to the operating module 4.
• the maintenance module 5 comprises, for this purpose, depending on the operations to be carried out, means for spraying water, steam, air, sand or even paint, these projection means being associated with means distribution and storage, as appropriate, of water vapor, air, sand and energy.
• the maintenance device 1 is therefore modular and it is possible to adapt to a maneuver module 4 different maintenance modules 5.
• wheels 22 on a pivot are provided at the level of the maintenance module 5 so that their orientation corresponds to the displacement force exerted on the maintenance module 5.
