Description

  The present invention relates to an aquarium brush movable cleaning device suitable for cleaning dirt on the bottom surface of various aquariums, such as fish breeding aquariums such as hatcheries and farms, swimming pools for exercise or amusement parks.

  For example, since the bottom of the fish rearing tank deposits food residue, foreign matter such as fish droppings, and soil that has danced in the wind, it is necessary to remove the water and clean it according to the state of dirt. Therefore, in the past, workers have performed cleaning work with a deck brush with a handle, but in order to improve workability, a plurality of brushes are provided on a rod-like support member having a length of about 1,000 mm corresponding to the width of the water tank to be cleaned. The bottom surface is rubbed with a cleaning brush arranged and fixed.

Not found.

  The bottom surface of the aquarium is generally not a flat finish for the purpose of use of the aquarium. On the other hand, conventional cleaning brushes have a plurality of brushes fixed to a long rod-shaped support member. Therefore, there is a problem that when the uneven bottom surface is cleaned, the brush cannot rub the bottom surface without leaking, and the recessed portion remains unrubbed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides a movable water tank brush cleaning device that enables cleaning without rubbing even if the bottom surface to be cleaned is uneven. The purpose is to do.

(1) The means of the present invention configured to solve the above-described problem is that the brush structure for cleaning by rubbing the bottom surface of the water tank is a horizontally long cube formed by supporting the upper end side of the brush body with a brush forming material. A plurality of brushes, a support bar that supports the individual brushes so that the brushes can move up and down in a state in which the plurality of brushes are arranged in a horizontal direction, and between the support bar and each brush forming material And an elastic material that constantly biases the brush downward, and the brush structure is moved forward and backward in the water tank by a brush advance / retreat mechanism having an operating rod connected to the support bar. It consists of something like that.
(2) The brush advancing / retreating mechanism is located in the middle in the longitudinal direction of the support bar and is pin-coupled at the lower end side, and the upper end side is connected to the upper and lower sides of the operating rod. It comprises a travel wire that pulls the brush structure in the front-rear direction, and a drive body that is disposed on the opposite edge side of the water tank and that drives the travel wire forward and backward.
(3) The driving body includes a wire advancing / retracting drum for winding and unwinding a wire disposed on one upper edge of the water tank, a wire guiding drum disposed on the other upper edge of the water tank, the wire advancing / retreating drum, and a wire guide. The traveling wire is wound between the drum and the wire so as to be able to advance and retreat, and a drive motor that rotates the wire advancing / retracting drum forward and backward to drive the traveling wire.
(4) A support wire may be stretched between the upper end side of the operating rod and both end sides of the support bar.
(5) The support bar may be provided with traveling rollers that travel on the bottom surface at equal positions on the left and right.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The brush structure has a structure in which a plurality of brushes are arranged on the support bar so as to be movable up and down, and each brush is urged downward by an elastic material. However, since the individual brushes move up and down to cope with the unevenness, cleaning without leaving a scrape is possible.
(2) The brush advancing / retreating mechanism reciprocates the brush component in the water tank by pin-connecting the lower end side to the brush component and pulling the operating rod engaged with the traveling wire in the front-rear direction by the driver. The bottom surface can be efficiently cleaned.
(3) Since the drive body is simply constituted by the wire advance / retreat drum, the wire guide drum, the drive motor and the travel wire, the drive body is portable and the operation of moving the brush structure is also easy.
(4) Since the long support bar is supported by the left and right support wires that are stretched between the operating rods and maintained linear, the bottom surface of the brush located on the tip side of the support bar is also reliable. Cleaning work can be performed by rubbing. Further, it is possible to prevent the support bar from being bent or twisted during the cleaning operation.
(5) Since the traveling roller that travels on the bottom surface is provided on the support bar, the long support bar can be supported without bending and the brush can be rubbed against the bottom surface reliably.

The guide rod 16 operates with an operating shaft 16A inserted between the rods 7A and 7A of the operating rod 7, a pair of left and right stoppers 16B and 16B provided on the operating shaft 16A located on both sides of the operating rod 7. The connecting rings 16C and 16C are provided at both ends of the shaft 16A, and both ends of the traveling wire 15 are connected.
The guide rod 16 is also pulled in the front-rear direction as the travel wire 15 is displaced in the front-rear direction in the direction indicated by arrows B and B, so that the operating rod 7 rolls in the front-rear direction using the pin coupling 7D as a fulcrum. The brush structure 2 is pulled in the direction indicated by the arrow B on the bottom surface 51A.

  This embodiment consists of the above-mentioned composition, and when cleaning bottom 51A of water tank 51, wire advance / retreat drum 12 is installed in one upper edge 51B of water tank 51, and wire induction drum 14 is installed in the other upper edge 51C. The traveling wire 15 is wound between the wire advance / retreat drum 12 and the wire guide drum 14, and the tension of the traveling wire 15 is adjusted by the tension adjuster 14.

  In conjunction with these operations, the brush constituting body 2 is arranged on the bottom surface 51A of the water tank 51, and the guide rod 16 is engaged with the upper end side 7D of the operating rod 7, thereby moving the traveling wire 15 in the front-rear direction. It is assembled so as to be transmitted to the brush construction body 2 via.

Thereafter, the wire advancing / retracting drum 11 is driven by the drive motor 12 to cause the travel wire 15 to travel in the direction indicated by arrow (b), so that the brush component 2 cleans by rubbing the bottom surface 51A. At the time of this cleaning, the brush structure 2 is configured so that each of the plurality of brushes 3, 3,... Moves up and down following the unevenness of the bottom surface 51A. It can be cleaned without any problems. By repeatedly performing this cleaning operation in the front-rear direction, the bottom surface 51A can be cleaned cleanly.

  The elastic material of the present invention is not limited to the leaf spring 5, but may be rubber, urethane, or the like.
