Estado de la técnicaState of the art

Esta invención es un sustituto de la escoba tradicional con la cual el barrido implica un movimiento de batida, arrastrando los desperdicios hasta un punto donde son recogidos por medio de otra operación e intervención de otro utensilio: el recogedor. Por otra parte, el movimiento de batida provoca inevitablemente el levantamiento de polvo quedando en suspensión durante algún tiempo y volviendo a depositarse posteriormente. Ambos inconvenientes, recogida de desperdicios y levantamiento de polvo, así como una mayor rapidez y comodidad en el barrido, quedan resueltos con la presente invención, cuyas características se definen seguidamente.This invention is a substitute for the broom traditional with which the sweep involves a whipping movement, dragging the waste to a point where they are collected by means of another operation and intervention of another utensil: the picker. On the other hand, the whipping movement causes inevitably the lifting of dust being suspended for some time and then deposited again. Both inconveniences, waste collection and removal of dust, as well as greater speed and comfort in the sweep, remain resolved with the present invention, whose characteristics are define below.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

La escoba automática está integrada por los elementos siguientes:The automatic broom is composed of following items:

Una carcasa o chasis (1) que soporta el resto de los componentes del instrumento.A housing or chassis (1) that supports the rest of The instrument components.

Una escoba (2) formada por un soporte cilíndrico sólido en el que van insertadas unas púas de pelo natural o sintético. Este elemento, en forma de rodillo, va situado en la parte delantera de la carcasa y anclado a ésta por medio de dos pivotes o ejes centrados en los extremos del cilindro que encajan en dos soportes situados en los laterales de la carcasa, cuyos centros, donde giran los pivotes, estarán abiertos hacia delante para una fácil sustitución del rodillo-escoba, llegado el caso. Dos ruedas motrices (3) situadas en la parte trasera de la carcasa e instaladas sobre unos soportes en los laterales de la misma. Estas dos ruedas llevan un canal en todo su contorno donde encajan unas correas transmisoras.A broom (2) formed by a cylindrical support solid in which natural hair spikes are inserted or synthetic. This element, in the form of a roller, is located in the front part of the housing and anchored to it by means of two pivots or shafts centered on the ends of the cylinder that fit in two supports located on the sides of the housing, whose centers, where the pivots rotate, will be open forward for easy replacement of the roller-broom, where appropriate. Two driving wheels (3) located in the part rear of the housing and installed on supports in the sides of it. These two wheels carry a channel in all their contour where transmitter belts fit.

Dos correas transmisoras (4) que conectan las ruedas motrices con los extremos del cilindro y al mismo tiempo contactan con el suelo en el punto donde las ruedas debieran incidir con éste, pero que son las correas instaladas en el canal las que contactan. Una lámina flexible (5) y delgada situada bajo el rodillo-escoba, de la misma longitud de éste, y anclada a la carcasa por medio de una pieza de igual longitud y con una inclinación de unos 45 grados con respecto al suelo de la carcasa y una altura por encima de ésta de 1,5 centímetros.Two transmitter belts (4) that connect the drive wheels with cylinder ends and at the same time contact the ground at the point where the wheels should influence this one, but what are the belts installed in the channel those who contact. A flexible and thin sheet (5) located under the  roller-broom, the same length as this one, and anchored to the housing by means of a piece of equal length and with an inclination of about 45 degrees with respect to the floor of the housing and a height above it of 1.5 centimeters.

Dos ruedas pequeñas (6) graduables en altura, situadas en los laterales de la carcasa en su parte delantera y montadas en el extremo de unas pletinas que pivotan sobre el otro extremo y provistas de un pequeño espigo, que puede ser la prolongación del eje sobre el que giran las ruedas, que encaja en unas perforaciones practicadas sobre la carcasa con objeto de graduar la altura.Two small wheels (6) adjustable in height, located on the sides of the housing at its front and mounted at the end of some plates that pivot on the other extreme and provided with a small spike, which can be the extension of the axle on which the wheels rotate, which fits in perforations made on the housing in order to graduate height.

Un mango (7) situado en la parte superior de la carcasa y anclada a ésta por medio de una pieza en forma de horquilla sobre la que podrá girar hacia adelante y hacia atrás.A handle (7) located at the top of the housing and anchored to it by means of a piece in the form of fork on which you can turn forward and towards behind.

Un recipiente extraíble (8) desde la parte posterior de la carcasa.A removable container (8) from the part back of the case.

El funcionamiento consiste en desplazar el aparato por el suelo a barrer por medio del mango imprimiendo un empuje hacia el suelo y adelante lo que provocará el giro de las ruedas motrices que, a su vez, transmiten el mismo movimiento y en el mismo sentido al rodillo-escoba por medio de las correas que conectan ambos elementos. La proporción de giro del rodillo-escoba será de entre dos y tres vueltas por cada una de las ruedas motrices, por lo que la longitud de la circunferencia de éstas será entre dos y tres veces superior a la del cilindro, en el lugar de articulación de las correas. En las pruebas efectuadas se ha comprobado que ésta es la proporción de giro más conveniente para un barrido eficaz y un esfuerzo mínimo. Al ser mayor la velocidad del rodillo-escoba que la de desplazamiento, hace que se genere un frotamiento de las púas contra el suelo de forma continua, lo que provoca que éstas lancen hacia atrás los desperdicios que encuentran, que a su vez son recogidos y dirigidos hacia el interior por medio de la lámina flexible, a modo de rampa, cuyo borde exterior, que estará en contacto permanente con el suelo gracias a su flexibilidad, estará situado ligeramente detrás de la línea donde las púas liberan su tensión al perder su contacto con el suelo. Esta lámina estará lo suficientemente afilada en el borde exterior para que cualquier desperdicio pueda ser recogido y dirigido sin trabas. Los desperdicios son depositados en el recipiente extraíble situado justo debajo de la pieza inclinada donde está anclada la lámina y que al tener, dicha pieza, un desnivel por encima del suelo del recipiente, hace que queden trabados impidiendo que vuelvan a salir por el lugar que entraron.The operation consists in moving the device on the ground to be swept by means of the handle printing a push towards the ground and forward which will cause the rotation of the driving wheels that, in turn, transmit the same movement and in the same direction to the roller-broom by means of the Straps that connect both elements. The turning ratio of broom roller will be between two and three turns per each of the driving wheels, so the length of the circumference of these will be two to three times greater than the of the cylinder, in the place of articulation of the belts. In the tests carried out have proven that this is the proportion of more convenient spin for effective sweeping and minimal effort. As the speed of the roller-broom is greater than the of displacement, causes that a rubbing of the spikes is generated against the ground continuously, which causes them to launch backwards the waste they find, which in turn are collected and directed inwards by means of the sheet flexible, as a ramp, whose outer edge, which will be in permanent contact with the ground thanks to its flexibility, it will be located slightly behind the line where the spikes release their tension when losing contact with the ground. This sheet will be what sharp enough on the outer edge so that any waste can be collected and handled without hindrance. The waste is deposited in the removable container located just below the inclined piece where the sheet is anchored and that having, said piece, a drop above the ground of the container, makes them locked preventing them from coming out again for the place they entered.

Una vez finalizada la operación de barrido, se podrán evacuar los desperdicios acumulados en el recipiente extraíble para un contenedor externo.Once the sweeping operation is finished, may dispose of accumulated waste in the container Removable for an external container.

Las ventajas que presenta este invento sobre la escoba convencional son: una mayor facilidad y comodidad en el manejo, una mayor rapidez en el barrido, tanta como la velocidad de desplazamiento se quiera imprimir, una mayor eficacia, la recogida automática de los desperdicios en la misma operación y, sobre todo, y como característica más singular, la imposibilidad de que las partículas de polvo queden en suspensión, ya que éste queda recogido y confinado en el interior del aparato en el mismo momento de ser barrido.The advantages of this invention over the Conventional broom are: greater ease and comfort in the handling, faster scanning, as much as the speed of displacement you want to print, greater efficiency, collection automatic waste in the same operation and, above all, and as the most unique feature, the impossibility of dust particles remain in suspension, since it is collected and confined inside the device at the same time of being swept.
