Definitions
- the invention relates to a cleaning device for a bicycle with a bicycle holder for fixing the bicycle frame in a washing position and with cleaning nozzles directed against the bicycle holder.
- EP0733528A2 describes a cleaning device in which a bicycle is stored inside a cabin in a vertical washing position. In this cabin there is cleaning brushes that can be adjusted to the bicycle, directed at the cleaning nozzles and can be moved together with the cleaning brushes.
- the cleaning brushes rotate in an axis of rotation lying parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheels of the bicycle and can be displaced along the longitudinal axis of the bicycle together with the cleaning nozzles.
- the disadvantage of the prior art is that the cleaning process places mechanical stress on the bicycle. Sensitive parts of the bicycle, such as the frame or bearings, can be damaged by the use of the brushes and the pressure of the cleaning agent sprayed by the nozzles, while more robust parts of the bicycle, such as the rims, which are usually particularly heavily soiled, not cleaned sufficiently. However, a more thorough cleaning by increasing the brush or nozzle performance necessarily involves a higher risk of damage to the sensitive parts of the bicycle. Presentation of the invention
- the invention is therefore based on the object of further developing a cleaning device for a bicycle in such a way that, despite thorough cleaning of parts that are usually heavily soiled, more sensitive parts are not damaged by the cleaning process.
- the invention solves the problem posed by the fact that cleaning nozzles directed against both rim areas of the bicycle receptacle are connected to a floch pressure line for a cleaning agent and that the bicycle receptacle comprises a rotary drive for both wheels of the bicycle.
- the cleaning nozzles By aligning the cleaning nozzles with the rim area, when the bike is set, only part of the bike is sprayed with high pressure cleaning agent. This means that more sensitive parts of the wheel above the rims remain outside the sprayed area, while the more robust parts can still be thoroughly cleaned by the high pressure.
- Particularly gentle cleaning conditions result in this context when the rim area of the bicycle mount, against which the cleaning nozzles connected to a floch pressure line are directed, lies below the rim hub.
- Complete cleaning of the rim is also made possible by rotating the rim of the bicycle around the rim hub via the rotary drive of the bicycle mount, so that the parts of the rim and the tire attached to the rim that are outside the cleanable rim area are moved in it can.
- This can be done, for example, with driven bearing rollers pressed against the tires.
- the bearing rollers can also drive the tires indirectly via a conveyor belt driven by the bearing rollers.
- the cleaning nozzles connected to the high-pressure line can be directed exclusively towards the rim areas, while the bicycle receiving part lying in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle between the rim areas is cut out.
- the high-pressure line can use a compressor with cleaning agent are supplied.
- cleaning agent In order to be able to clean bicycles of different sizes, that means in particular with different wheel diameters and wheel spacing, several cleaning nozzles extending over the possible rim positions can be provided for the rim area of the flinter wheel.
- the cleaning agent In order to avoid contamination of the high pressure line and / or the cleaning nozzles, it is recommended that the cleaning agent is water. In principle, however, other cleaning agents can also be used.
- the bicycle frame can also be cleaned gently if cleaning outlets connected to a low-pressure line for a cleaning agent are directed towards the frame area of the bicycle receptacle. Due to the low pressure, when the cleaning agent is applied to sensitive parts, there are no forces that could lead to damage. A particularly advantageous effect is obtained when the cleaning outlets are in the washing position above the bicycle frame. On the one hand, the cleaning agent can be subjected to even less pressure due to the gravitational force acting in the direction of the bicycle frame and, on the other hand, a larger part of the surface of the bicycle frame can be cleaned more easily.
- protruding cleaning rollers are provided against the bicycle receptacle, which are rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle.
- the cleaning rollers are driven and ensure a more even application of the cleaning agent and thus enable material-friendly, yet thorough cleaning. Due to the rotatable arrangement about an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle, the force exerted on the bicycle runs orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle. This improves the cleaning effect, as dirt is carried away from the bike and not pushed along it.
- Particularly gentle cleaning conditions result when the axes of rotation of the cleaning rollers lie on the same plane orthogonal to the plane spanned by the bicycle frame, since no torque is exerted on the bicycle.
- the mechanical stress on the sensitive parts and the size of the cleaning device can be reduced if the cleaning rollers can be moved vertically transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle and transversely to the axis of rotation of the wheels. In this way, the cleaning roller diameter can be reduced and a more even distance between the cleaning roller surface resting on the bicycle can be achieved, so that there are fewer pressure fluctuations or peaks in the area of the cleaning roller surface.
- the cleaning rollers enable the entire bicycle to be treated more evenly.
- by advantageously positioning the cleaning rollers in a loading position for example not in the area of the handlebars or the pedal pedals, it is easier to bring the bicycle into the cleaning device.
- cleaning outlets connected to a low-pressure line for a cleaning agent be directed towards the cleaning rollers.
- the cleaning agent no longer has to be applied directly to the sensitive parts, but is gently applied to the bicycle using the cleaning rollers, which also prevents possible residues of the cleaning agent.
- Particularly advantageous operating conditions result when all cleaning outlets connected to the low-pressure line are directed towards the cleaning rollers, because this allows the consumption of cleaning agents to be reduced with the same cleaning efficiency.
- the cleaning agent can be applied to the wheels of the bicycle over a larger area if the receiving rail comprises driven bearing rollers for rotating both wheels of the bicycle. These bearing rollers can drive the wheels either directly or via an intermediate conveyor belt.
- the bearing rollers make it easier to insert the bike into the mounting rail in the optimal washing position. For this and for the storage of the bicycle in the washing position, additional bearing rollers can be provided which do not have to be rotationally driven.
- the bicycle receptacle has a receptacle rail for the wheels of the bicycle.
- this enables the bicycle to be positioned because the bicycle's wheels can first be positioned on the holder rail, after which the holder rail is moved with the bicycle into the washing position.
- Fig. 1 is an end section through an inventive
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the longitudinal side of one according to the invention
- Cleaning device with a brought in bicycle in washing position, as well as the spray areas of the cleaning nozzles and outlets.
- a cleaning device according to the invention for a bicycle 1 has a bicycle holder 2 for securing the bicycle frame 3 of the bicycle 1.
- Cleaning nozzles 4, 5 are directed against the bicycle receptacle 2 and thus also against the bicycle 1.
- These cleaning nozzles 4, 5 are connected to a floch pressure line 6 for a cleaning agent that is fed into the floch pressure line 6 via a compressor (not shown in detail).
- a first group of cleaning nozzles 4 is directed towards the front rim area 7 and a second group of cleaning nozzles 5 is directed towards the rear rim area 8 of the bicycle receptacle 2.
- cleaning outlets 10 connected to a low-pressure line 9 can be provided, which are directed towards the frame area 11 of the bicycle receptacle 2.
- cleaning rollers 12 protruding against the bicycle receptacle 2 can be provided, which are rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 13 running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle.
- the cleaning rollers 12 can have a rotary drive (not shown in detail) and, in addition to being able to rotate about the axis of rotation 13, be mounted adjustable in height on a frame 14 provided for this purpose, transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle 1 and transversely to the axis of rotation of the wheels 15 of the bicycle 1, as is the case is indicated in Fig. 1 with corresponding directional arrows.
- the bicycle receptacle 2 can have a receptacle rail 16 for the wheels 15 of the bicycle 1.
- driven bearing rollers 17 can be provided as rotary drives for the wheels 15 of the bicycle 1.
- the receiving rail 16 can be designed so that it runs in the washing position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 between the cleaning nozzles 4, 5 and thus also between the cleaning rollers 12 and into one of these Gap 18 is moved to the extended loading position.
