In order to create an automated cleaning system for glass roofs with the least technical effort and without moving parts, which can also be quickly and inexpensively retrofitted to existing conservatories, it is provided that the glass roof cleaning system has a modular structure that comprises individual cleaning system modules (1, 2, 3, 4), each cleaning system module (1, 2, 3, 4) each comprising an attachment profile (10), a line including holders (13), a plurality of cleaning nozzles (15) and a cover profile (11).

Description

The invention relates to an automated glass roof cleaning system, in particular a conservatory glass roof cleaning system, with a plurality of cleaning nozzles.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a conservatory, summer garden or patio roof glass roof with several uprights, several side support profiles and / or center support profiles, at least one wall connection profile, at least one eaves support profile, several glass panels and an automated glass roof cleaning system.

In addition, the invention relates to a method for cleaning a glass roof, in particular a conservatory glass roof, with an automated glass roof cleaning system, in particular a conservatory glass roof cleaning system, with a plurality of cleaning nozzles.

Flat glass roofs get dirty very quickly. This is especially true for conservatories on private, industrial or public buildings, which mostly have flat roofs with a not too steep slope. Such flat roofs are quickly contaminated by leaves, dust and pollen. In particular, Linden, for example, secretes a sticky juice that lies on the glass roof like an oil film. Every conservatory roof, if it is not cleaned regularly, shows a green film of dirt after a short time, which impairs the view.

In order to remove such contamination, manually operated cleaning devices have previously been used, such as, for example, water hoses, high-pressure cleaners, window cleaning devices, etc. However, a relatively large amount of time is required to carry out cleaning with such manually operated devices. In addition, the cleaning result is not always satisfactory. Finally, cleaning with such agents is not without danger, since it sometimes has to be carried out at a relatively high height.

To avoid this arduous, tedious and dangerous manual cleaning of glass roofs, it is known from the prior art to carry out this cleaning (fully) automatically. So describes the DE 19847239 A1 a permanently installed or permanently installable cleaning device on the glass roof surface to be cleaned, for example a conservatory roof, which has a movable cleaning rail. This movable cleaning rail is mounted or installed in such a way that it can be moved parallel to the glass surface to be cleaned and covers this glass surface during operation. Several cleaning nozzles are arranged on the cleaning rail, one under pressure Place the standing cleaning medium on the surface to be cleaned. Because the cleaning rail is moved parallel to the surface to be cleaned, all areas of the surface to be cleaned are captured by the cleaning nozzles, so that the surface is cleaned uniformly by dispensing the cleaning medium. The cleaning medium under pressure is fed from a stationary device in which the cleaning medium is pressurized to the cleaning nozzles via a flexible feed line. The pressure of the cleaning medium is preferably adjustable, depending on the degree of contamination of the building surface to be cleaned.

From the DE 10 2006 059 961 A1 is a permanently installed automatic cleaning system for horizontal window outer surfaces, especially those of conservatories and roof windows, where there is an automatic system for each window lane, the cleaning elements consisting of a fixed broom part, a fixed sponge and a rubber lip, which are moved individually and by a Carrying system can be brought into working position one after the other. Alternatively, a four-part, rotatable cleaning unit with the three cleaning elements and an empty space for retracting the rubber lip and the broom (to remove leaves or snow), which should only move downwards in the working position, can be carried out. These cleaning elements are housed in a protective box on the upper window frame or on the house wall. The side guide rails are located along the window bars, which are doubled on the adjacent panes, so that the system can be formed over several tracks. By using a motor-driven push or pull system (e.g. push chain), these guide rails enable the cleaning elements to move up and down on the glass pane.

The document shows another automated cleaning device DE 20 2007 006 874 U1 , where a window cleaning device for cleaning the conservatory glazing is arranged in the area of the drop profile, which can in particular comprise a stripping device acting on the top of the conservatory glazing and nozzles for dispensing water. The nozzles of the window cleaning device can advantageously be supplied with water via a pump, wherein elastic lines that can be rolled up in the area of the cloth shaft can be provided for the water supply to the nozzles. The pump can be activated depending on the movement of the failure profile or can be switched on or off manually. Since it is not necessary to clean the window with every movement of the awning or the drop profile, the scraper device can be lowered onto the surface of the conservatory glazing or can be lifted off from it this movement can be controlled manually or by means of an electronic control device. For example, the lowering and raising can be electronically controlled after a number of activations of the conservatory awning. With larger conservatory glazings with crossbars, it is necessary to raise the stripping device in the area of these crossbars to prevent a collision during movement. This lifting can take place depending on the path or triggered by sensors.

The present invention is based on the object of creating an automated cleaning system for glass roofs, in particular conservatory glass roofs, which replaces the tedious and time-consuming manual cleaning and which, moreover, manages with the least technical effort and without moving parts, and this also makes it easy assembled and can be offered at a reasonable price, as well as being less susceptible to faults and maintenance. A system that is not perceived as disruptive in a discreet design, and can also be easily and quickly retrofitted to existing conservatories.

Starting from an automated glass roof cleaning system of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the glass roof cleaning system has a modular structure which comprises individual cleaning system modules, with each cleaning system module in each case one attachment profile, one line including holders, and several Includes cleaning nozzles and a cover profile.

This modular structure of the glass roof cleaning system makes it possible to use the individual cleaning system modules via the top profile and the associated differently designed adapter profiles for the most varied conservatory variants with the most varied support profiles, and also to retrofit existing conservatory systems. Such embodiments allow liquid such as water or a detergent / water mixture to be simply applied to the glass surfaces, which flows away according to the angle of inclination thereof. This also results in the additional effect of cooling the glass roof and thus the room underneath.

It is favorable to arrange the lines including brackets and the cleaning nozzles inside the top profile and the cover profile. This has the advantage that the high-pressure lines and the cleaning nozzles are protected from environmental influences (solar radiation, wind and weather) and are optically integrated into the winter garden concept.

It is also advantageous if at least one cleaning nozzle is attached via at least one pivotable mounting bracket. The mounting clamp makes it easy to set the cleaning nozzle and thus the spray direction. The mounting bracket can be arranged, for example, on side member profiles, pipes or similar profiles. In particular, if the lines are designed as low-pressure lines, assembly using mounting clamps is advantageous.

In order to increase the accessibility, and thus to enable quick maintenance, repair or replacement of the lines or the cleaning nozzles, it is advantageous if the attachment profile and the cover profile are detachably connected to one another via a snap-in connection, and / or the cleaning nozzles are pivotable Mounting clamps are interchangeable.

It can be provided that the lines are at least partially designed as high-pressure lines. High-pressure lines are understood to mean lines which carry liquids with increased pressure, ie above the usual pressure conditions of private water households. As a rule, the usual water pressure in households is between 1 and 6 bar, sometimes up to 10 bar. High-pressure lines refer to lines that lead to water of higher pressure. The overpressure is usually provided by a compressor, which is a fixed component of the cleaning system or can only be connected shortly before commissioning. This enables, for example, the use of compressors from high-pressure cleaners that can also be used individually, thereby reducing the costs for the cleaning system. High-pressure lines can be made of stainless steel parts welded together or other pressure-resistant materials.

It can also be provided that the lines are at least partially designed as low-pressure lines. This means low-pressure lines which can lead water directly from private water lines, i.e. can withstand the pressure conditions of up to 10 bar that are common there. Low pressure lines are typically made of plastic.

In order to reduce the maintenance effort even further, it can be advantageous to design the cleaning nozzles as self-cleaning high-pressure spray nozzles which can be blown out when pressurized with compressed air.

It is expedient to set the angle α between the spray axis of the cleaning nozzle and the center axis of a side support profile or center support profile via the pivotable mounting bracket such that this angle α has a value between 40 ° and 70 °, in particular between 40 ° and 45 °. This allows the spray pattern of the nozzles to be adapted exactly to the size and shape of the glass panels between the carrier profiles.

An embodiment variant of the invention provides that a regulating or control device is arranged, by means of which the temporal and quantitative supply of compressed air, water-compressed air mixture, water and / or cleaning agent can be controlled. This has the advantage of predefined switching programs (e.g. 1.Pre-cleaning, for example to blow away leaves and dust with compressed air or a water-compressed air mixture; 2.Cleaning with detergent to remove heavier and dried-up dirt; 3.Reincleaning with pure water to remove the detergent rinse; 4. dry by blowing compressed air to avoid water stains) to achieve a complete and thorough cleaning of the exterior glass roof surfaces.

In order to determine the degree of soiling of the glass roof surfaces and thus automatically initiate any necessary cleaning, it is advantageous if sensors (not shown in the figures), in particular light sensors, are arranged in the attachment profile of the individual cleaning system modules.

The simple structure of the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention can be advantageously installed or integrated in a conservatory, summer garden or patio roof glass roof with several uprights, several side support profiles or central support profiles, at least one wall connection profile, at least one eaves support profile and with multiple glass panels.

According to the invention, it can also be favorable for the cleaning system modules to be arranged on one or more side support profiles, on one or more central support profiles, along a wall connection profile and along an eaves support profile. This has the advantage that the entire outside glass surface of the winter garden is optimally cleaned.

It is advantageous if the attachment profile of the respective cleaning system modules is detachably connected to one another with an adapter profile, in particular via a snap-in connection, and if the profile cross section of the adapter profile for existing conservatory support profile system variants, in particular the Weinor profile system and / or the TS aluminum Profile system, is adapted, and when in turn the adapter profile is detachably connected, in particular screwed, to the side support profile or center support profile. This advantageously makes it possible for the attachment profile and the associated differently configured adapter profiles for the most diverse winter garden variants Can be used with a wide variety of support profiles (such as the Weinor profile system and the TS aluminum profile system) and can therefore also be retrofitted to existing conservatory systems.

In order to further reduce the assembly effort and thus the costs for the production of a new winter garden with an automated glass roof cleaning system, it can be advantageous for the attachment profile - the cleaning system modules for the side and center girders - to be integrated into the side girder profile or center girder profile, so that the attachment profile and the side support profile or center support profile is in one piece and preferably consists of an aluminum profile, in particular an extruded aluminum profile.

An embodiment variant of the invention provides that shading profile rail adapters are arranged on at least two cleaning system modules for the side and middle beams of the glass roof, and that the shading profile rail adapters are mounted on the side of the attachment profiles and cover profiles, and that the shading profile rail adapters are connected to the cleaning system modules via stabilizers are tense, especially screwed. The use of stabilizers advantageously increases the rigidity and thus the strength of the cleaning system modules, in order to dissipate the forces introduced via the shading structure (such as the weight of the shading body or wind forces) into the respective support profile. In this way, a stable mounting level for the shading rails can be created inexpensively and in an optically appealing manner.

A simple way of controlling the cleaning process is achieved if the individual cleaning system modules are controlled together via the regulating or control device in order to control the supply of compressed air, water / compressed air mixture, water and / or cleaning agent in terms of time and quantity.

In order to make the exterior glass roof cleaning particularly efficient and thorough, it is advantageous for the regulating or control device to carry out a preliminary cleaning of the glass roof, and for this compressed air or a water / compressed air mixture is introduced into the high-pressure lines of the cleaning system modules, so that leaves, dust and Blow away or rinse away loose impurities through the cleaning nozzles. Subsequently, the glass roof is optionally cleaned, and detergent or a detergent / water mixture is introduced into the high-pressure lines in order to wash away heavy soiling through the cleaning nozzles via high-pressure pulses or permanent high pressure. Finally, the glass roof can be cleaned and dried, in addition to the high pressure water and then introduce compressed air so that the glass roof is washed and dried to prevent water stains, especially from the sun.

Heavy soiling can be washed away by the cleaning nozzles by means of high pressure impulses and / or permanent high pressure.

A cleaning method is particularly advantageous, in which it is provided that a preliminary cleaning is carried out first and for this purpose compressed air is introduced into the lines of the cleaning system modules, then cleaning is carried out and for this purpose cleaning agents and / or a cleaning agent are carried out in the lines of the cleaning system modules -Water mixture is introduced and after cleaning a post-cleaning and / or drying is carried out and for this purpose compressed air is introduced into the lines of the cleaning system modules.

Furthermore, it can be provided that during the cleaning a detergent / water mixture is first introduced into the lines, then a rinse aid / water mixture is introduced and after the rinse aid / water mixture has been introduced a final detergent / water mixture is introduced, a detergent with lotus detergent being used as the final detergent. Effect is used. Rinse aid means additives to the water that improve the drying of the glass surface. Most of these are non-ionic surfactants or organic acids such as citric acid. Cleaning agents with a lotus effect are understood to mean cleaning agents which cause a lotus effect on the glass treated with them. What is meant here is that the treated glass surface is difficult to wet and that impinging water can run off more easily, forming drops. The surface, which is thus hydrophobic, becomes contaminated more slowly.

According to the invention, it can also be favorable that the cleaning process of the glass roof by the regulating or control device, in addition to the possibility of manual (for example via a remote control) or via a programmed circuit diagram, automatically via the measurement of the contamination by sensors (are not shown in the figures) , in particular arranged in the attachment profiles, is set in motion in order to automatically initiate any cleaning that may be necessary, and as a result the glass roof surface of the conservatory is always in a visually appealing condition.

It is preferably provided in the cleaning system that the lines are designed as high pressure lines.

It is preferably provided in the cleaning system that the lines are designed as low-pressure lines.

It is preferably provided in the cleaning system that the spray axis of the cleaning nozzle and a central axis of a side support profile and / or center support profile spans an angle α and that this angle α has a value between 40 ° and 70 °, in particular between 40 ° and 45 °, and that this is preferably adjustable via pivoting mounting clamp.

The in Fig. 1 The winter garden, shown schematically, has an automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention, which has several different cleaning system modules 1, 2, 3 and 4, one arranged in a stand 5 as high-pressure supply lines (including a universal connection adapter for the common high-pressure cleaning devices and compressed air compressors) (11 ) and a regulating or control device (which, however, is not shown in the figures).

The individual cleaning system modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 differ in the respective construction, which in the 3 to 11 will be shown. The cleaning system module 1 is arranged on one or more side supports, the cleaning system module 2 on one or more center supports, the cleaning system module 3 on the wall connection and the cleaning system module 4 on the eaves, and via adapter profiles 9 (see Fig. 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 10th , 11 and 12th ) attached to the support profiles, or in one piece in an integral design (see Fig. 4 , 6 and 8th ) made with the support profiles. The embodiment shown is designed as a high-pressure system which leads pressurized water through a compressor. In such embodiments, it is particularly expedient to arrange cleaning nozzles 15 along the side supports and center supports and thus to ensure complete cleaning of the glass surfaces. It is particularly advantageous if those cleaning nozzles 15 which spray one of the glass surfaces are combined as a group and each group can be switched on and off independently of the others. This allows sequential cleaning of the glass surfaces to be achieved one after the other. This has the advantage that the entire water pressure can be used for only one glass surface and the cleaning can be carried out optimally.

In Fig. 2 The automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention is arranged on or on a terrace roof, the modular structure of the glass roof cleaning system being identical to that in FIG Fig. 1 conservatory shown.

In an embodiment which only provides low pressure lines, it can be advantageous if only on the higher transverse edge of the glass roof, that is to say in the case of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 3 cleaning nozzles 15 are arranged along the cleaning system module.

The Fig. 3 shows in a first embodiment a side support - with a side support profile 7 - with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention. The cleaning system module 1 comprises an attachment profile 10, a push-down line including brackets, several adjustable cleaning nozzles 15 including pivotable mounting clamps 14 and a cover profile 11. The attachment profile 10 and the cover profile 11 are detachably connected to one another via a snap connection, the inside of which is now closed profile, a high-pressure line including brackets and a plurality of adjustable cleaning nozzles 15 including the pivotable mounting clamps 14 are arranged.

Furthermore, the attachment profile 10 of the cleaning system module 1 and the adapter profile 9 are detachably connected to one another via a snap-in connection, and the adapter profile 9 is pushed onto the side support profile 7 (a Weinor profile system in the present exemplary embodiment) and screwed.

The spray axis of the cleaning nozzle 15 is adjustable via the pivotable mounting bracket 14, the angle α between the spray axis and the central axis of the side support profile 7 being set or set to a value between 40 ° and 70 °, in particular between 40 ° and 45 °.

Subsequently, components with the same function are given the same reference numerals and only the differences between the individual versions are explained.

The attachment profile 10 of the cleaning system module 1 is integrated into the side support profile 7, with which the attachment profile 10 and the side support profile 7 are now in one piece and consist of an aluminum profile, in particular an extruded aluminum profile.

The Fig. 5 shows in a first embodiment a central carrier - with a central carrier profile 8 - with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention. The cleaning system module 2 generally has the same structure as the cleaning system module 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of a side carrier Fig. 3 . The only difference is the arrangement of the cleaning nozzles 15, which can take place on both sides along the cleaning system module 2.

In Fig. 6 a second embodiment of a central support with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention is shown, the only difference to the embodiment of a side carrier Fig. 4 consists in that the cleaning nozzles 15 are arranged on both sides along the cleaning system module 2.

The Fig. 7 shows in a third embodiment a center support with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention. In contrast to the previous embodiments according to the 3 to 6 a shading profile rail adapter 17 is arranged on the cleaning system module 2, and laterally mounted on the top profile 10 and cover profile 11, and screwed together with the top profile 10 and the adapter profile 9. The shading profile rail adapter 17 is additionally screwed to the attachment profile via stabilizers 16 through the cleaning system module 2, and thereby braced with it.

In Fig. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of a central carrier with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention, the sole difference from the exemplary embodiment of a central carrier according to Fig. 7 consists in that the top profile 10 of the cleaning system module 2 is integrated into the central support profile 8, with which the top profile 10 and the central support profile 8 are in one piece and consist of an aluminum profile, in particular an extruded aluminum profile.

The Fig. 9 shows in a fifth embodiment a central girder with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention, a central girder profile 8 of the TS aluminum profile system being shown instead of a central girder profile 8 of the Weinor profile system. The arrangement and assembly conditions of the shading profile rail adapter 17 change only slightly as a result.

In Fig. 10 a wall connection with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention is shown. The cleaning system module 3 for the wall connection has almost the same structure as the cleaning system module 2 for the side supports (see Fig. 3 ), but with a different adapter profile 9 (see Fig. 12 , universal adapter profile 9) is used.

The Fig. 11 shows an eaves with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention, the cleaning system module 4 for the eaves almost identical to the cleaning system module 3 for the wall connection (see Fig. 10 ) is.

In Fig. 12 three possible profile cross-sections of an adapter profile 9 for conservatory carrier profile system variants customary on the market (such as the Weinor profile system and the TS aluminum profile system) are shown, which with the attachment profile 10 for the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention are connected, these only for the side supports in a first embodiment (see Fig. 5 ), the middle beams in a third version (see Fig. 7 ), the middle beams in a fifth version (see Fig. 9 ), the side supports in a first version (see Fig. 3 ), the wall connection (see Fig. 10 ) and the eaves (see Fig. 11 ) Find use.

In addition, a regulating or control device (which, however, is not shown in the figures) can be arranged, by means of which the temporal and quantitative supply of compressed air, water-compressed air mixture, water and / or cleaning agent can be controlled.

The attachment profile 10 of the individual cleaning system modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 sensors (which, however, are not shown in the figures) preferably has, in particular, light sensors in order to provide the regulating or control device with information such as the degree of contamination (in particular due to leaves) - To deliver, by means of which the cleaning process can be optimized.
