Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surface cleaning tool intended to be used on a road maintenance vehicle, such as a sweeper, motorized type or not.
  • the road vehicles are in known manner composed of a front structure which is intended to control the machine, extending rearwardly by a chassis receiving a tank which is intended to collect the waste which is collected by means of generally located under the chassis or at the front of the vehicle, via a suction system and a turbine.
  • the suction means are associated with a turbine in order to generate an air flow which makes it possible to collect debris or waste present on the ground or on the surface to be treated, then to ensure the transfer and the deposit inside the receiving tank.
  • the waste that is on the area to be cleaned is initially grouped in an area that is located substantially under the vehicle frame, and they are then collected by means of the conduit.
  • suction which is powered by the turbine. This turbine creates a flow of air which has the effect of allowing the collection of waste collected by the brushes and their transfer through the suction duct to the vein, the sucked air being then evacuated to the outside of tank.
  • Solutions of known type have shown their effectiveness in a certain number of situations, when the zone to be treated is regular and does not present constraints imposing maneuvers or operation in reverse, for example deformations on the ground, a slope or again. the presence of numerous and asymmetrical obstacles.
  • Known solutions have shown their limits when the road does not have a homogeneous surface. The problem to be solved is therefore to optimize the treatment of irregular surfaces, allowing the passage of the vehicle equipped with the cleaning device both in forward and in motion rear, without risk of blockage or damage to obstacles present, for example a vehicle that would be parked along the road.
  • the cleaning means are most often an assembly comprising at least two side brushes with rotating brushes which are mounted on a support formed of two arms articulated about a vertical axis.
  • the suction nozzle is placed under the chassis of the vehicle recessed brushes.
  • a road vehicle of this type is for example illustrated in the document DE 911 55 78.9 .
  • a first difficulty lies in the fact that the brushes can not be adjusted in real time to adapt to the terrain configuration.
  • Devices are known that allow to ensure a height adjustment or width of all cleaning, or each brush individually.
  • the document DE 911 55 78.9 mentioned above shows a vehicle which comprises two identical sets arranged symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and each consisting of two brushes articulated on a double arm. Each set includes a fixed back brush and an adjustable front brush in the horizontal plane.
  • the continuous adjustment of the brushes is not possible and the height must in particular be predefined and preset in the workshop before intervention and start-up of the vehicle. It is therefore not possible to adapt the positioning of the brushes according to the configuration of the terrain and obstacles encountered.
  • the document DE20 2006 006573 illustrates the known prior art of the applicant which is closest to the invention as defined by the claims.
  • This document describes a surface cleaning tool for a road maintenance vehicle, of the type comprising a frame on which are mounted a cabin in the front part, a tank in the rear part, brushing means arranged on a carrier plate provided with its base of a peripheral skirt in several parts and suction means comprising a suction nozzle connected to the upper part of the carrier plate, above the brushing means for generating a flow of air directly through said means of brushing.
  • This solution is not fully satisfactory because it does not ensure an uninterrupted air supply within the enclosure defined by the peripheral skirt, whatever the direction of movement of the vehicle.
  • the known solutions have another disadvantage, related to the insufficient grouping of waste before passage of the brushing tool.
  • the waste which is scattered over the surface to be treated is more or less reduced towards the center of the cleaning device which corresponds to the longitudinal central axis of the vehicle according to its direction of movement, to then be sucked by the nozzle which is located behind the brushes.
  • This configuration leaves on the ground, and especially when it is irregular or when the vehicle must move back, many waste that escape the samples, resulting in reduced efficiency of cleaning.
  • the invention proposes to remedy the various disadvantages indicated above by providing a cleaning tool directly integral with the suction means and comprising a body receiving one or more rotating brushes movable along three axes, inside which a depression is maintained continuously to ensure a perfect seal, a peripheral scraping tool placed under this body to ensure a treatment of the area when the vehicle back.
  • the cleaning tool according to the invention is mounted on a vehicle composed of a frame on which are mounted a cabin in the front part, a tank in the rear part, and comprises suction means and control means. brushing.
  • the brushing means comprise at least one rotary brush, mounted in front of the vehicle on a carrier plate connected to a coupling structure to the chassis of the vehicle, comprising means for adjusting the position of the blade in at least two directions, each independently of the other.
  • the brushing means comprise three brushes (1) of vertical axis, arranged on a carrier plate (2) at the front of the frame to form a monobloc cleaning module, and the position of the brushes can be adjusted in three directions, each independently of the others.
  • the carrier plate (2) consists of an element of substantially triangular shape, the enlarged portion corresponding to the base of the triangle, is disposed forwardly in the direction of travel of the vehicle and the rear part narrowed, corresponding to the top of the triangle, is connected to the free end of a hinged structure (3) protruding forward of the vehicle frame.
  • the structure (3) which will be described in more detail below, is provided for connecting the cleaning tool to the chassis of the vehicle, allowing installation or rapid removal, and for connecting the suction means, in particular a nozzle (10).
  • the brushes (1) are mounted on the carrier plate (2) along a vertical axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tool, so that two of the brushes are each arranged at one of the two lateral ends of the part widened carrier plate (2), and the third broom back to the end of the narrowed portion of said carrier plate, the axes of the three brushes (1) thus forming a triangle.
  • the carrier plate (2) is mounted at the end of the coupling structure (3) which is controlled by a tilt cylinder (4). Under the action of the cylinder (4), the structure (3), and therefore the carrier plate (2) with the brushes (1), can be moved in the horizontal plane, from right to left and vice versa, according to the longitudinal axis of movement of the vehicle.
  • the displacement of the carrier plate (2) in the vertical plane is controlled by the lifting system of the vehicle (not shown), which is directly associated with the coupling structure (3) by means of a shaft (27) removable.
  • the figure 5 schematically represents the tool according to the invention, in its normal position of use, that is to say parallel to the ground.
  • the tool can be detached so that the brushes (1) are no longer in contact with the ground, by removing the pin (27).
  • the assembly is then placed on the ramp, the lift system of the carrier vehicle is lowered and the axis (27) is reintroduced, as seen in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the front portion of the tool will thus be raised at an angle x relative to the ground, and maintained in a temporary crossing position.
  • the suction means comprise a turbine (not shown) of conventional type (and which will therefore not be described in the following description) and a flexible conduit (11) cooperating with the turbine.
  • a turbine not shown
  • One of the ends of the conduit (11) is connected to the collection tank by means of a coupling plate (12), and the other end is extended by the suction nozzle (10) positioned above the brushes ( 1), and provided to ensure the collection of waste brought by the brushes (1) towards the central axis of the vehicle.
  • the flexible duct / suction nozzle assembly (10 and 11) is connected to the carrier plate (2) by two identical articulated parallelograms (5a, 5b), which are arranged opposite each other at the ends. rear side of the carrier plate (2). More particularly, and as we see in the figure 2 , each of the parallelograms (5a and 5b) consists of two parallel arms (5 '), the ends of which are articulated along a horizontal axis (6) around ball joints (6a, 6b, 6c and 6d) mounted at the respective ends of two vertical supports (7) substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the carrier plate (2).
  • the cleaning block being hinged at the end of a structure allowing movement in at least two directions, its movements are directly induced by the obstacles encountered and / or the peculiarities of the area to be treated, and it is no longer necessary to associating with the cleaning block support elements in contact with the ground, such as for example wheels, as was necessary with the solutions illustrated by the known documents of the prior art.
  • the carrier plate (2) is exclusively supported by the coupling structure (3) fixed to the chassis of the vehicle, and has no support means on the ground in its lower part, the brushes of the brushes (1) being the only ones parts of the implement that are in contact with the ground when the vehicle is running.
  • roller (26), damper at each of the two front ends of the carrier plate (2).
  • the carrier plate (2) is provided at its base with a peripheral skirt (13) made of a flexible material.
  • the skirt (13) comprises different parts that will be described below, and whose dimensions are determined so as to cover the space remaining between the lower edge of the carrier plate (2) and the ground when the tool is in position use - that is to say, the brushes being in contact with the ground - so to define a confined enclosure under said carrier plate (2).
  • the pressure differential between, on the one hand, this confined chamber which corresponds to the zone treated by the cleaning block, and on the other hand the external environment, can be adjusted by adjusting from the control cabin the speed of the connected turbine. at the other end of the flexible conduit (11) and communicating with the waste tank.
  • the front part of the skirt (13), that is to say the one situated opposite the coupling structure (3), consists of a flap (14) movable, articulated on a hinge (15). ).
  • the flap (14) is associated with pivoting means for tilting the hinge when the vehicle is in reverse, so that the flap (14) scrapes the ground.
  • the pivoting means consist of lateral inverters (16) each comprising a straight upper part of axis parallel to the flap (14) and acting as a connecting surface, extended by a lower part bent forwardly. , whose length is defined so that its free end is flush with the ground when the vehicle is in the forward position, the tool being parallel to the ground.
  • the flap (14) In forward movement, and insofar as a depression is maintained in the enclosure created under the carrier plate (2), the flap (14) is pushed backwards and held in the up position by the inverters (16) and / or by the airflow sucked through the carrier plate (2), as soon as it is in contact with the ground, as can be seen in figure 7 .
  • the tilting of the inverters (16) to the rear is limited by a stop (17). This allows in particular to ensure uninterrupted air supply within the enclosure defined by the peripheral skirt (13) under the carrier plate (2).
  • the inverters (16) take up a high position by tilting forward, with a corresponding downward movement of the flap (14) which will not be locked in the up position and will then act as scraper, as one sees it figure 8 .
  • this tilting movement can also be controlled by any other means (hydraulic or electrical jack or cable etc .... outside replacing or in addition to the inverter (16).
  • the flap (14) thus treats the entire surface concerned by bringing back to the rotary brushes (1) the waste and particles that are present to allow their suction with the same efficiency as when the vehicle is in forward movement, while managing the volume of air admitted into the enclosure formed under the carrier plate (2) when the vehicle is in forward motion, in order to maintain a sufficient supply to ensure efficient suction without dropping the voluntarily maintained depression under the tray carrier (2).
  • the rear part of the skirt (13), that is to say the one situated close to the coupling structure (3), consists of a strip (18) made of a flexible material, for example rubber, fixed on both sides on the carrier plate (2) and closing the rear wall of the enclosure defined under the carrier plate (2).
  • the band (18) acts as a scraper and pushes the debris to the ground by grouping them in the suction zone in correspondence of the nozzle (10).
  • the side walls of the skirt (13) connecting the flap (14) and the flexible strip (18) consist of rigid connecting side strips designed to prevent projections on the sides of debris grouped towards the brushes (1) by the strip (18) or the flap (14), depending on whether the vehicle is moving forward or backward.
