Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brush for cleaning walls having concave surface, like, for example, the vaults of road tunnels, motorway tunnels and the like.
  • tunnel vaults are progressively blackened by the accumulation of soot and other materials produced by vehicular traffic, in particular, although not exclusively, by trucks. Therefore, periodical cleaning operations are required.
  • WO 93/24717 and DE 242117 disclose cleaning apparatuses for cleaning concave walls.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide a cleaning system for walls having concave surface, particularly intended to allow a suitable cleaning of vaults of road tunnels, highway tunnels and the like.
  • the present invention it is possible to obtain the most effective cleaning of walls with concave surface, like the vaults of road and motorway tunnels, with a device which is structurally and mechanically simple, strong, economic and reliable.
  • a brush according to the invention comprises a central core (1) with prevalently longitudinal development; said core is connected to corresponding motor means (6) by means of which the same core (1) is driven into rotation about the respective longitudinal axis (x-x) with a preset angular speed. Said core (1) is also associated to a device (3) by means of which it is moved in respect to the surface (SV) to be cleaned while rotating about the said axis (x-x). On said core (1) a plurality of radial bristles (4) are applied. The distal ends of said bristles define, in their whole, a rotational solid having a substantially convex surface (SC) similar to the shape of a barrel, that is with a diameter decreasing form the middle of the core towards the two ends of the same.
  • SC substantially convex surface
  • said core (1) is formed by more toroidal elements (2) made of sheet-metal, whose external diameter is decreasing from the middle of the core (1) to the ends.
  • Said toroidal elements (2) are placed side by side and welded each other along the axis (x-x), according to a symmetrical scheme in respect to the middle of the core (1).
  • a box-like structure is realized which is particularly light and balanced and requires a relatively limited power to be moved.
  • the bristles (4) emerge from correspondents bands (40), of the type available in commerce, applied on the external lateral surface of each toroidal element (2) of the core (1).
  • the bristles applied on the toroidal element or elements (2) in correspondence of the middle of the core (1) are longer than the bristles applied on the other elements (2) of the same core.
  • the core (1) has two portions at its axial ends (10,11), each of which is inserted, free to rotate about the longitudinal axis (x-x) of the core (1), in a corresponding arm (50, 51) of a support cradle (5): an end (10) is connected to a hydraulic motor (6) which is supported by the same arm (50), while the other end (11) is free and can be used as a coupling element for an additional brush (7) as better described below.
  • the cradle (5) has an appendix (53), is disposed at the middle of a transverse bar (52) connecting the arms (50, 51), for connecting it to the aforesaid motion device (3).
  • the device (3) according to the embodiment shown in Fig.3 , Fig.4 and Fig.5 , comprises an arm with two sections (30, 31) linked to each other.
  • the front section (30) is prevalently longitudinally developed and has a front end (32), to which the appendix (53) of the cradle (5) is intended to be fixed, and a rear cylindrical bush (33); the latter is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the said front section (30) and is linked to a rear box-shaped element (34), free to rotate about its own axis (b-b), being driven by a corresponding double-effect actuator (39).
  • the rear section (31) is fork-shaped.
  • the rear part (35) of the fork is connected to a motion device (8) of known type mounted, for example, on a truck (9).
  • the front ends (36) of the fork are connected, by means of a hinge (37), to a bush (38) which is disposed on the rear side of the aforesaid box-shaped element (34) and whose axis (c-c) is orthogonal to the axis (b-b) of the bush (33).
  • said sections (30, 31) are linked to each other by means of a double-effect actuator (390) which is connected, on one side, to the rear part of the said fork and, on the opposite side, to the back side of the element (34) above the bush (38).
  • the activation of the cylinder (390) determines the rotation (RO) of section (30) about the axis (c-c), while the cylinder (39) determines the rotation (RV) of same section (30) about the axis (b-b).
  • the movements thus given to the section (30) are correspondingly transmitted to the cradle (5) to which it is fixed and, consequently, to the brush (1, 4).
  • Said additional side-brush (7) is engaged to the axis of the core (1) on opposite side in respect to the motor (6), so to project laterally outside from the cradle (5), i.e. from the arm (51) of the latter.
  • Such additional element (7) is useful, in particular, for the cleaning of zones surrounding the road signs and/or the signalling panels normally placed along tunnels.
  • the above described device provides the brushing of the surface (SV) in maintenance, thanks to the rotation of the core (1), which is driven by the motor (6), and thanks to the motion of the cradle (5) by means of the motion unit (3, 8) which is controlled by the driver of the truck or another worker.
  • the particular barrel-shape of the brush ensures the most suitable brushing of the surface (SV) although the latter is concave.
  • execution details may vary as regards the shape, the size, the arrangement of the elements, the kind of material used, but they are within the limits of the solution adopted and within the limits of the protection offered by the present patent.
