Description
Method to safely become a skilful user during use of an interactive pipe cleaning equipment comprising a machine having one in a fixed cover rotating flexible shaft and a machine to perform said method The present invention relates to an interactive machine having a rotating flexible shaft in a fixed cover. More precisely the invention relates to a machine where the flexible shaft carries a working front part or a tool head to clean channels in connection to buildings and to in real time register parameters relating to position, rev per minute, torque, time and/or type of ongoing work. The invention also relates to a method to use the machine also by a non skilled operator.
When a company make itself responsible for a contract there is a big need to have control of the procedures at the working place. The working staff sent need to have a skill to manage the working tasks needed to fulfil the mission. As the present invention is restricted to treat channels, as channels for ventilation and drain in buildings, several of the tasks will be similar and should by this reason be handled by inexperienced staff members. Against this use are the risks involved in a cutting procedure of 40 to 50 years old drain pipes in dwelling-houses It is difficult to make prior decisions of which type of cutting front parts or working tools being most suitable as the real reason for drain pipes being blocked as one example is not known. Of course there are rust deposits but also fat and limestone formations may be the reason for blocked drain pipes, which may cause flooding, especially if the blockings exist in a main pipe drain. This is most likely in houses having several floors.
WO 2009/143497 discloses a tool machine to clean channels. This machine have a"naked" spiral shaft being winded on a drum on the machine. From this drum the naked spiral shaft is fed into a channel to be cleaned. This machine is very awkward in handling and not very hygienic to an operator. An advantage may be that spiral shaft not used remains wound onto the drum. Thus it must be rotated also when a short channel length is to be cleaned, that is it uses power to be driven.
The main object of the present invention is to obtain an interactive machine being easy to handle and comprising a rotating flexible shaft in a fixed cover and carrying a cutting front part/tool head for an efficient cleaning of channels and where the machine also can be handled by an inexperienced operator, e.g. an operator being trained or educated.
This object is obtained by providing the machine with a central control unit having an experience memory unit (EMU) having stored typical working parameters for different tool heads to be chosen. There is an ongoing summarization against this EMU of current real time working parameters. EMU has a capacity to suggest different strategic choice of tool heads, e.g. by
suggesting choice of one type of cutting tool heads for heavily blocked pipes having a given dimension. If use of a suggested working head means that it is very easily fed through the channel EMU suggests use of a working head having a greater working diameter. When this happens a bigger resistance will probably occur being a sign of an increased performed cleaning process.
Stored parameter information in the EMU for different tool heads are compared with ongoing real time information for different types of blocked pipes. Of course the reasons for blocked channels can vary in the one and same channel in that flushed down items of varied shape and properties may be obstacles. Plant roots may be the reason for fluid blocked channels. By registering changing torque on the rotating flexible shaft and by knowing exactly how the changes in torque starts to show up for the tool head used it is possible to give a pretty safe judgement of the reasons to blocking channels and to suggest change of the front part/tool head not to over load the flexible shaft.
Another object of the present invention is to obtain a safe and interactive tool having EMU where limits for parameter and/or parameter constellations are stored for different running conditions with different used tool heads and which, when exceeded, the tools may be emergency stopped.
Yet another object of the invention is to make a meaningful use of the tool possible also handled by an inexperienced operator out on the working site in that the tool for an ordered task will put pre-programmed questions
demanding correct answers by interaction by a display prior starting the task. Preferably the tool according to the invention is set not to be able to exceed such working parameters which might damage the channels during treatment, the tool itself with completing equipment or damage on the operator. Still another object with the invention is to obtain a tool having a clear interface/control panel being possible to take over and control remotely of an experienced operator, e.g. by a communication link. During a productive learning procedure the tool may all the time be connectable by said link to, when needed, inform a responsible education instructor that support out on the field is needed. Then the education instructor may log in and remotely control an ongoing working process and at the same time perform an explanative dialog with the adept.
Necessary steps taking care of a drain pipe in a building may be
rebuild/relining or change of complete main drain pipes. To make
economically correct decisions all channels must first be cleaned and prepared prior to a choice of a further step suitable. In some cases the result may be a need to change the whole channel or just parts of it.
Thus the tool according to the invention has a capacity for handling
parameters using a suitable soft ware registering different type of proceedings and decide working running conditions from a data bank and inform the user about this and suggests a suitable method to treat in combination with suitable tools. This computing power will also be able to "tell" the user about the tool if it is used in a wrong way and then suggest a more constructive use, or, as mentioned above, simply stop a preceding working process.
A GPS function will allow traction of the tool, which besides confirming that the tool is at a stated certain working place also essentially may contribute to limit the damage at not authorized removal of the tools from said working site out on the field.
A channel to be relined often needs a treatment with different types of working heads. Deposits on the channel walls may have different hardness and need special cutting tools. Also the lay out of channels means that they have bends of different readies. From this it is necessary to have a
combination of a flexible, propelling shaft and cutting tools functioning at different bending readies. Therefore, e.g. prior to passing a bend, it is important that a tool change may be performed quick and easily, especially as there is clogging developed in the channel areas at such places.
The invention will now be described in connection to the shown embodiments on the drawings, where
Fig. 1 is an end view of the main propelling unit of the pipe cleaning
equipment according to the invention
Fig. 2 is a side view of the main propelling unit of a pipe cleaning equipment according to fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the coupling mechanism between the flexible shaft and the main propelling unit of the pipe cleaning equipment, and where Fig. 4 - 12 are views of different information shown on an interactive display unit.
The main drive unit 1 of the pipe cleaning equipment according to the present invention is carried by wheels 2. It has a handle 3 stretching in over the centre of gravity to make it possible to carry this part in balance. A display 4 being of the interactive type discloses the control symbols and which can be activated by the user to set wanted drive conditions for the main drive unit. An emergency stop 5 is placed easy accessible on top of the main drive unit 1.
A flashing warning light and a reset button is shown at 6 and 7 respectively. A connection mechanism for the flexible shaft 12 is shown diagrammatically at 8 in fig. 1 and 2. In fig. 3 the interacting parts of the coupling mechanism 8 are shown as the quick release coupling 10 of bayonet type is locked to the flexible shaft 12 by a clamp ring coupling 11. A cover 9 surrounds the shaft 12 and is hold against axial movement by a socket locking into the periphery of said cover 9 - here shown as a threaded connection. The socket will be retained in an arc interconnection by a foldable arc 14 being articulately connected to the main drive unit 1.
At the free end of the flexible shaft there is preferably a cutting tool suited for cutting channels having a smaller area, that is a so called chain cutter commonly used for cutting channels having a greater area, or a tip drilling tool having very good cutting properties. Also special tools especially suited for lead, roots, concrete or collapsed insert stocks from failed relining procedures are to chose from.
The parameters being handled by the soft ware in the drive unit of the equipment are voltage and amperes (torque) and the revolutions per minute. A memory unit in connection to the soft ware will register how the torque (amperes) will change during time, which is if the ongoing work cycle tends to be too heavy for the drive unit and/or for the chosen tool using the actual shaft length. A logic unit connected to the soft ware and to a memory bank including preceding working cases may suggest a change of tool for the ongoing work after the parameters have been calculated during an ongoing activity. It is also possible to have a continuous information of ongoing activities by light bulbs on the control panel which will light green for an ok work, yellow for a work to be controlled and red for working conditions needing an immediate attention. Thus if in the latter case a manually initiated change of working conditions does not take place the equipment and the tool will be immediately stopped.
