  • an apparatus according to the invention can be used, with the methods that will be described hereinafter, for managing activities for cleaning (and/or sanitizing), for example but not exclusively, industrial surfaces of factory buildings and production buildings.
  • the apparatus 1 according to the invention may be used effectively in any public or private building in which activities for the production or offer of goods or services are performed and in which one wishes to keep the consumption of detergents monitored, in order to optimize their use and reduce costs (consider, for example, health facilities and/or catering buildings, which require frequent cleaning and sanitizing activities and for which the need for economy in compliance with safety and health regulations is therefore felt strongly).
  • the apparatus 1 comprises at least one tank 2 for a substance, preferably selected from a component of a detergent and a detergent ready for use (typically, but not exclusively, in the liquid state).
  • the detergent may be of any type and beselected for example according to the specific application requirements and the particular type of dirt that usually gathers on the surfaces of the building in which the apparatus 1 is installed.
  • the tank is associated with a control and monitoring unit 3 (an electronic controller, for example) of means for drawing and distributing the substance, so as to allow its controlled dispensing, for example through an outlet 4, into at least one container A, following the request of at least one operator.
  • a control and monitoring unit 3 an electronic controller, for example

  • the second set instead, is contained in a second transponder device, which is fixed to a specific container A and conveys information about the container A itself, for the automatic recognition of the type of container A and the controlled dispensing of a predefined quantity of substance, associated with the specific type of container A.
  • the transponder devices may be based on the technology known as RFID and therefore the reader 5 may be of the RFID reader type.
  • the interface 6, moreover, may comprise what is called a "touch-sensitive" keyboard, which has the advantage of not being subject to infiltrations of dust and humidity and at the same time ensures the absence of mechanical wear (because there are no moving parts or electrical contacts, as instead would occur if other types of keyboard were used).
  • This keyboard may be provided with a large display (for example 20 characters by 4 lines), which can also be backlit, so as to allow correct visualization of the messages even in case of poor lighting of the enclosed space in which the apparatus 1 is installed.
  • a large display for example 20 characters by 4 lines
  • the apparatus 1 upon a request to dispense detergent by the operator, who submits a container A to the reader 5, the apparatus 1 is capable of recognizing the type of container A (and especially the predefined quantity of detergent to be dispensed inside it) and dispenses a preset number of liters (optimum), avoiding the risk of waste. At the same time, the apparatus 1 is capable of storing (in a suitable memory cell comprised in the control and monitoring unit 3) the identity of the operator (and of the department) that made the request, so as to keep the consumption of detergents monitored in the period of time of interest (it will be possible, for example, to monitor consumptions on a daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis, etcetera).
  • the information gathered and the trend of consumption can be visualized and collected subsequently in various formats, for example data processing formats, such as SQL databases, and/or paper formats, by means of appropriate reporting and printing forms comprised in the control and monitoring unit 3 (and/or in the above-mentioned software).
  • data processing formats such as SQL databases
  • paper formats by means of appropriate reporting and printing forms comprised in the control and monitoring unit 3 (and/or in the above-mentioned software).
  • Recognition of the first data set and the second data set can be performed by the same operating module or by different operating modules contained in the control and monitoring unit 3.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a plurality of tanks 2 (for example four, as in the embodiment of Figure 2 , or six) for respective substances, preferably selected among components of detergents and detergents ready for use.
  • the reader 5 of the control and monitoring unit 3 is therefore assigned to the automatic acquisition and processing of respective second data sets contained in corresponding second transponder devices fixed to specific containers A.
  • the second data set can comprise information related to the dimensions (and above all the capacity) of the container A, to the specific detergents that it can accommodate and also to the department to which it is assigned.
  • the control and monitoring unit 3 is therefore capable of recognizing in an automatic manner the type of container A and therefore of dispensing in a controlled manner respective preset quantities of substance associated with the corresponding specific types of container A. More precisely, the apparatus 1 can thus ensure automatically the dispensing of the predefined quantity (associated beforehand with the specific container A) of the specific detergent assigned to the container A (or optionally, of one of the specific detergents assigned to the container A, for example by proposing the choice to the operator who requests it) and therefore supply the detergent that is most suitable for the activity that the operator intends to perform.
  • the drawing and distribution means comprise at least one pump 8, associated with each tank 2, which can be actuated on command by the unit 3 to transfer and dispense in a controlled manner a predefined quantity of the substance in the container A, following the request of the operator.
  • the drawing and distribution means comprise a plurality of such pumps 8, preferably of the peristaltic pump type (or other pumps 8 with a fixed and defined flow-rate), each of which is associated with a respective tank 2 and can be actuated on command by the unit 3, so as to transfer and dispense in a controlled manner, as noted in the previous paragraph, a predefined quantity of the respective substance into a corresponding container A, following the request of the operator.
  • the number of operating pumps 8 and of tanks 2 can be set by means of the above-mentioned software.

  • the apparatus 1 is provided with a balance for each pump 8 (and for each tank 2) and with the possibility (which can be configured at will by means of the interface 6) of weighing each container A, as desired, when it is used to receive the detergents: the weighing of the container A (and therefore of the residual detergents already comprised therein) allows the unit 3 (in whose memory cell the information regarding the weight of the empty container A is stored) to dispense a number of liters that is lower than the predefined quantity, considering indeed the quantity already present in the container A (and therefore again avoiding unnecessary waste and excessive consumption).
  • the apparatus 1 comprises, moreover, at least one level sensor, associated with each tank 2, for verifying the quantity of substance that is present and emitting an alarm signal when a preset minimum threshold is reached (thus allowing an operator to restore the level of the desired substance).
  • the tanks 2 are full of detergent ready for use, and the pumps 8, and/or other drawing and distribution means, merely transfer the detergent from the tanks 2 to the container A (according to the preset quantities and limits).
  • the tanks 2 are filled with components of the detergents to be used (or, more simply, with water, for diluting a concentrated detergent contained in another tank 2), and the operator can thus use the same container A to collect the two or more components of the detergent that he intends to use.
  • the apparatus 1 can comprise a mixer (even of a known type) and optionally a mixing chamber: at least two of the tanks 2 that accommodate respective components of a detergent lead to this mixer, and this allows the apparatus 1 to prepare the detergent when requested by the operator (detergent that can be mixed directly in the container A or in the chamber).
  • a mixer even of a known type
  • a mixing chamber at least two of the tanks 2 that accommodate respective components of a detergent lead to this mixer
  • the unit 3 can be configured at will to regulate the operating flow-rate of the mixer (for example, again, equal to 900 ml/min), and this value can be recorded in order to allow the subsequent correct dispensing of the substances (and their correct storage in memory).
  • a kit 9 for managing cleaning activities comprises at least one apparatus 1 of the type described in the previous paragraphs and therefore provided with at least one tank 2, with drawing and distribution means (pumps 8, for example) and a control and monitoring unit 3, provided with the reader 5 described above.
  • the kit 9 comprises a plurality of first transponder devices (for example of the badge type), which can be carried by respective operators and contain corresponding first data sets.
  • the first data set can convey, for example, as already noted, information such as the identity of the operator to whom the corresponding first device is assigned, as well as the department to which he belongs (or the departments for which he is enabled to request detergent), so that this information can be stored in the control and monitoring unit 3 at the time of the request for detergent.
  • the first data set can convey information related to the type of service that the operator intends to perform.
  • the kit 9 also comprises a plurality of second transponder devices, which can be fixed to respective containers A and can contain corresponding second data sets, which convey information related to the containers A, such as, for example, their size (and capacity) and the type of detergent (or types of detergents) that they are designed to accommodate.
  • the information conveyed by the second data set also can be acquired by the reader 5, so as to ensure automatic recognition of the type of container A and thus allow the apparatus 1 to dispense in a controlled manner a predefined quantity of substance, associated with the specific type of container A.
  • control and monitoring unit 3 can be provided with a module for acquiring the time and date, so that the information related to the requests to draw detergent can be associated with the exact moment (date and time) when they occurred, in order to create a full log of withdrawals (and consequently of consumption).
  • a maximum threshold of withdrawals on a daily, weekly, monthly basis etcetera and also for each type of detergent and/or department
  • this maximum threshold for example equal to 2.55 liters per day
  • the module for acquiring the time and date gives the control and monitoring unit 3, preset for this purpose, the possibility of allowing dispensing of detergent according to equal or different quantities depending on the day of the week in which the demand occurs (and optionally of preventing the dispensing on the day or days when no cleaning and washing activities are scheduled).
  • control and monitoring unit 3 it is possible to configure the control and monitoring unit 3 so that each operator can request any detergent and it is possible to limit access to the various types of detergent to a limited number of operators (for example according to the department to which they belong).

  • This configuration uses the native connectivity of the controller, i.e., RS-485 support, and therefore no adapter is necessary because it is already preset for this type of serial connection 11.
  • On the PC side it is instead necessary to install a suitable RS485/RS232 converter 17 if the RS232 port with which PCs are generally equipped is used.
  • USB/RS485 conversion device As an alternative, it is possible to use a USB/RS485 conversion device and therefore use a USB port of the PC.

  • This configuration too, uses the native connectivity of the controller, i.e., RS485 support, which therefore requires no adapter because it is already preset for this type of serial connection 11.
  • Figures 4 to 6 propose instead various configurations in which the local transmission network is an Ethernet network 12 and which are suitable for applications in which the apparatuses 1 are arranged in the same room 15 or in different rooms 15 (even distant ones).
  • FIG. 4 shows a configuration (for use of the kit 9 in at least two rooms 15) in which each apparatus 1 is provided with an additional conversion block 18, which allows the interconnection of the controller to an Ethernet network 12. It is thus possible to assign to each controller an IP address that can be assigned freely by the user. If the presence of an existing Ethernet network 12 is detected, the personal computer can be connected to it, so as to reduce installation costs and activities; obviously, as an alternative, it is possible to install a new Ethernet network 12.
  • Figure 5 instead proposes a configuration suitable for the installation of the kit 9 in a single room 15: in this case, a single Ethernet/RS485 conversion block 18 is used to connect one or more apparatuses 1. This allows a reduction of installation costs, because it is not necessary to use a conversion block 18 for each apparatus 1.

  • the reader 5 and the apparatus 1 can thus acquire automatically the first data set conveyed by the respective first transponder device and store the information related to the operator who requested detergent (for example his identity and his department). Subsequently, the reader 5 can record the second data set, carried by the second transponder device, that the operator will have passed under the viewing instrument of the reader 5.
  • the control and monitoring unit 3 Upon reading the second data set (tag code comprised in the second transponder device), the information is transferred to the control and monitoring unit 3, which, thanks to the preset parameters (for example by means of the above-mentioned software), enables the dispensing of the corresponding detergent, in a quantity that corresponds to the predefined quantity.
  • the control and monitoring unit 3 proximate to each pump 8 there can be a button 8a and a warning light: the warning light may thus signal to the operator that the apparatus 1 is ready to dispense, and dispensing is then started when the operator presses the button 8a.
