[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a vertical system for transferring a work device that performs work while moving laterally along a transverse rail provided on the side of a structure to another transverse rail. Regarding moving devices, the present invention is particularly suitable for vertically moving devices such as automatic cleaning devices for horizontal window glass.

[Prior Art] There are many cases where it is necessary to perform work while moving laterally to the side of a structure, such as cleaning window glass that is connected to the side of a building or repairing a wall surface.

Such work cannot be carried out efficiently using the so-called gondolas that have been used in the past because although they can easily move up and down in the vertical direction, they cannot move smoothly in the lateral direction.

Therefore, a device has been proposed in which transverse rails are attached in advance to the top and bottom of the window glass that connects in the horizontal direction, and the cleaning device is run along the transverse rails for cleaning. Became.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, since the window glass in buildings is not only provided in one level but in multiple levels, in order to clean the window glass on each floor, a cleaning device must be installed on the transverse rail of each floor. It is necessary to transfer the material, but this transfer is done using a so-called gondola.
It is necessary to adjust the vertical position, angle, etc. using a mounting mechanism attached to the gondola, and there are problems in that it takes a considerable amount of time to transfer and is difficult to automate.

This invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and is capable of vertically moving a traversing type working device that allows a working device that works while moving along a traversing rail to be easily transferred to another traversing rail. The aim is to provide equipment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a vertical movement device for a traversing type working device of the present invention has a working device that performs work by traveling along a traversing rail provided on the side surface of a structure. In a device that moves vertically to another transverse rail, a guide rail for vertical movement is provided on the side of the structure, a vertical movement frame is provided that is driven along this guide rail, and the vertical movement frame is provided with a vertical movement frame that is driven along the guide rail. The present invention is characterized in that a transfer rail is provided, which is connected to a transverse rail on which the working device is traversed, and on which the working device can be positioned during vertical movement.

[Function] According to this vertical movement device of the traversing type work equipment, a vertical guide rail is attached to the side of the structure, and the vertical movement frame that moves up and down along the guide rail is moved, which is a part of the traverse rail. The work equipment is raised and lowered so that the transfer rail of the vertical movement frame is connected to the transverse rail of the structure where the work equipment is located, and the work equipment is positioned within the transfer rail. Afterwards, move the vertical movement frame along with the work equipment vertically so that the transverse rail at the next work position and the transfer rail are connected, and in this state, transfer by moving the work equipment to the transverse rail. There is.

Therefore, by using this vertical movement frame, vertical movement of the traverse type working device becomes easy, and transfer can also be automated.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of an example of a building to be worked on.

The vertical movement device 10 of this traversing type working device is for vertically moving an automatic cleaning device 13 for cleaning window glass 12 extending along the side of a building 11 as a working device.

First, the automatic cleaning device 13 is a working device that should be moved vertically.
I will explain about it.

In order to run the automatic cleaning device 13, traverse rails 14 are installed at the top and bottom of the window glass 12 on each floor at the same time as the building 11 is constructed, depending on the cleaning range of the building 11. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, this transverse rail 14 has an upper transverse rail 14a made of H-beam steel with flanges arranged vertically, and a lower transverse rail 14b made of groove-shaped steel. The top side is open.

The traveling mechanism 15 of the automatic iFt sweeping device 13 that travels along this traversing rail 14 has a pair of upper and lower traveling wheels 15a sandwiching the upper and lower surfaces of the lower flange of the upper traversing rail 14a.
are arranged on both sides of the web and are provided in the automatic cleaning device 13, and a guide wheel 15b that rolls on the left and right side surfaces of the lower flange is provided in the automatic cleaning device 13,
The upper running wheel 15a is provided with a drive mechanism including a running motor 15c so that it can run on its own. In addition, a lower guide wheel 15d is provided at the lower part of the automatic cleaning device 13 and moves along both sides of the inner side of the groove of the lower transverse rail 14b, so that the automatic cleaning device 13 and the guide wheel 15b do not come off the transverse rail 14. Make it.

Although not shown, the automatic cleaning device 13 equipped with such a traveling mechanism 15 includes a water spraying mechanism that uses the centrifugal force of a rotating disk to spray fresh water necessary for cleaning, and a water spraying mechanism that scrapes the surface of the window glass 12. A rotating brush device for removing dirt, a wiper mechanism equipped with a squeegee made of rubber or the like for wiping dirty water and dust from the surface of the window glass 12, a sewage recovery device, a fresh water tank, a sewage tank, batteries for driving each mechanism, It is equipped with a control device and the like to control these, and can automatically perform cleaning by running along the transverse rail 14.

Therefore, in order to clean the window glass 12 on each floor,
It is necessary to relocate the automatic cleaning device 13 to the transverse rail 14 on each floor.

Therefore, in the vertical movement device 10 of this traverse type working device, a guide rail 16 for vertical movement is attached to the side of the building 11, and in the illustrated example, the traverse rail 16 of each floor is attached adjacent to one end of the 14 in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the guide rails 16 are made of channel steel, and two guide rails 16 are installed in parallel with the grooves facing outward.

A vertically movable frame 17 having a size that can house the automatic cleaning device 13 is attached to the guide rail 16 so as to be movable up and down via guide rollers 18 . As a lifting mechanism 19 for lifting and lowering the vertically moving frame 17, a lifting device equipped with a hoisting machine 19a is installed on the roof of the building 11, and is used to wind up and unwind the two wires 19b connected to the vertically moving frame 17. It can be moved vertically to a predetermined position by returning it. Also, vertical movement frame 1
7 is provided with a positioning mechanism (not shown) between the vertical movement frame 17 and a fixed side such as the building 11 in order to stop the bin at a position corresponding to a predetermined transverse rail 14. It is configured to be positioned by fitting into a recess formed in 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, such a vertical movement frame 17 is attached with a transfer rail 20 that is connected to the transverse rail 14 of each floor. The lower transfer rail 20b is made of channel steel, and by stopping the vertical movement frame 17 at the same height as the transverse rail 14, the automatic cleaning device F13 is moved into the vertical movement frame 17. It can be stored.

In the vertical movement device 10 of such a traverse type working device, the automatic cleaning device 13 is transferred (vertical movement) as follows.

First, the automatic cleaning device 13 is positioned on the transfer rail 20 portion of the vertical movement frame 17, and the horizontal rail 14 of the window glass 12 on the top floor and the transfer rail 20 of the vertical movement frame 17 are connected by the lifting mechanism 19. It is raised and lowered so that it is held in position by a positioning machine (load).

In this state, the running wheel 15a is driven by the running motor 15c of the running mechanism 15 of the automatic cleaning device 13 to make it run on the transverse rail 14 connected to the transfer rail 20 of the vertical movement frame 17.

After the automatic cleaning device 13 has been transferred to the traversing rail 14 in this way, each mechanism necessary for cleaning is put into operation,
Cleaning is carried out by spraying fresh water using the sprinkler mechanism, scrubbing with a rotating brush, wiping with a squeegee from the wiper mechanism, and finally collecting dirty water.

When cleaning is completed for the entire cleaning range up to the other end of the traverse rail 14, each mechanism necessary for cleaning is brought out, and in this state, the traverse mechanism 15 is driven in the opposite direction to cause the automatic cleaning device 13 to traverse. It is made to move from the rail 14 onto the transfer rail 20 of the vertical movement frame 17 and is stored therein.

After this, the vertical movement frame 17 is lowered to the transverse rail 14 of the next floor by the lifting mechanism 19 of the vertical movement frame 17, and the vertical movement frame 17 is positioned using the same procedure, and the automatic cleaning device 13 is moved to the transverse rail 14. After doing so, clean.

Such vertical movement of the vertical movement frame 17, automatic cleaning device 13 from the vertical movement frame 17. By repeating sending out, cleaning, storing the automatic cleaning device 13 in the vertically movable frame 17, and vertically moving the vertically movable frame 17, the windowpanes 12 on all floors can be cleaned.

Each operation such as raising and lowering the vertical movement frame 17,
If each mechanism of the automatic cleaning device 13 is operated by a control device, cleaning of all the window glasses 12 from the top floor to the ground can be completely automated.

In the above embodiment, the lifting machine (δ1) of the vertically moving frame was configured with a wire and a hoisting machine, but the invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to connect one point of the endless chain to the vertically moving frame and connect it with a sprocket. It may be constructed by a chain mechanism for driving or a rack-binion mechanism for engaging a pinion on the vertically movable frame side with a rack attached to a building, as long as it can be raised and lowered.

Further, the installation position of the guide rail for lifting and lowering is not limited to one end of the transverse rail, but may be located in the middle of the transverse rail so that the working device passes within the vertical movement frame.

Further, the working device is not limited to an automatic cleaning device, and may be any device that works on the side surface of a structure.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that each component can be changed without departing from the gist of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above in detail with one embodiment, according to the vertical movement device for a traversing type working device of the present invention, a vertical guide rail is attached to the side of the structure, and the guide rail Since a transfer rail that forms part of the transverse rail is provided on the vertical movement frame that moves up and down along the After raising and lowering the work equipment so that it is positioned within the transfer rail, move the vertical movement frame along with the work equipment vertically so that the transverse rail at the next work position and the transfer rail are connected.
