Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a gutter cleaning device called a rolled gutter, which is used to clean gutter installed on the side of the median strip of a highway, for example.

BACKGROUND ART For example, on the side of the median strip of an expressway, a drainage ditch called a rolled gutter is provided.

Incidentally, not only rainwater but also dust, mud, soil, etc. from the main line flow into the side gutter. As a result, dust, mud, soil, and the like accumulate in the gutters as sludge, obstructing the flow of drainage. Therefore, gutters are cleaned regularly.

Generally, the above-mentioned gutter cleaning is performed using a high-pressure washing vehicle and a sludge suction vehicle. That is, a high-pressure washing vehicle sprays high-pressure water onto the side gutter to loosen the sludge, which is then sucked and collected by a sludge suction vehicle. In the conventional case, a worker uses a high-pressure hose from a high-pressure washing vehicle to spray high-pressure water onto the side gutter to loosen the sludge and let it flow into the storage section installed at, say, every 100 to 200 meters in the side gutter. Another worker was using a suction hose to collect the accumulated sludge into a sludge suction truck.

Problems that the invention aims to solve By the way, if high-pressure water was sprayed into the side gutter to loosen the sludge and drain it into the storage area, as in the past, the sludge would scatter around and hit other workers. It pollutes the surrounding area and impedes environmental hygiene. In addition, a worker uses a high-pressure hose from a high-pressure washing truck to spray high-pressure water into the gutter to loosen the sludge and drain it into the storage area, and a suction hose from a sludge suction truck sucks up and collects the sludge that has accumulated in the storage area. Cleaning work requires additional personnel as it is separate from the workers.

This idea was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a gutter cleaning device that is hygienic and can be cleaned by one worker. .

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, this invention has a cover that is formed in the shape of a box with an open bottom end and is movable by width-adjustable running wheels, and a height-adjustable portion inside and in front of the cover. A high-pressure water discharge pipe having a large number of injection ports that are installed in the peripheral wall and open diagonally downward at the rear of the cover, and a high-pressure water discharge pipe that is installed in a height-adjustable manner at the rear inside the cover and opens downward. a suction nozzle having a suction port, a high pressure hose extending from an appropriate high pressure water supply means is connected to the high pressure water discharge pipe, and a suction hose extending from an appropriate negative pressure suction means is connected to the suction nozzle. Provide gutter cleaning equipment with

Function: According to the gutter cleaning device of this invention, high-pressure water is injected from the injection port of the high-pressure water discharge pipe, and the high-pressure water scrapes the sludge accumulated in the gutter inside the cover, and the sludge is removed by suction through the suction nozzle. do.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a gutter cleaning device according to the present invention will be described based on an embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the gutter cleaning equipment A illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, 1 is a box-shaped cover with an opening at the bottom, and wheels 2, 2, etc. are rotatably provided on both the front and rear sides, and a stand is provided at the rear end. Push the handle 3 provided to move forward. The wheels 2, 2... have their axles 2a, 2a... fitted in and out of the ends of pipes 4, 4... attached to the front and rear of the cover 1, and are usually latched by lock pins 5, 5... and fix it.
Therefore, the wheels 2, 2... are the lock pins 5, 5...
By releasing the latching and moving the axles 2a, 2a... into and out of the pipes 4, 4..., the interval in the width direction can be adjusted. 6 is cover 1
It is a high-pressure water discharge pipe provided at the front inside of the cover 1, and has a number of injection ports (not shown) that open diagonally downward at the rear of the cover 1 on the peripheral wall. High pressure water discharge pipe 6
is connected to the lower end of a slide tube 9 which is fitted into a small hole mounting tube 7 fixed through the upper surface of the cover 1 and is slidably supported by a slide device 8, and the slide tube 9 is attached by the slide device 8. By sliding against the tube 7, the height can be adjusted. 10
is a suction nozzle provided at the rear inside the cover 1, and has a suction port (not shown) opened at the lower end. The suction nozzle 10 is fitted into a large-diameter mounting pipe 11 that is fixed through the upper surface of the cover 1, and is connected to the lower end of a slide pipe 13 that is slidably supported by a slide device 12. 13 relative to the mounting tube 11, the height can be adjusted.

Next, a gutter cleaning operation using the gutter cleaning device A having the above configuration will be explained.

First, the gutter cleaning tool A is placed on the gutter, that is, the rolled gutter B, as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
The high pressure hose 14 of the high pressure cleaning vehicle C is connected to the upper end of the slide pipe 9 that connects the high pressure water discharge pipe 6 to the lower end, and the suction hose of the sludge suction vehicle D is connected to the upper end of the slide pipe 13 that connects the suction nozzle 10 to the lower end. 15
After that, the high-pressure washing vehicle C and the sludge suction vehicle D are operated. Then, high-pressure water from the high-pressure water cleaning vehicle C flows into the slide pipe 9 via the high-pressure hose 14, and from there, the high-pressure water further flows into the high-pressure water discharge pipe 6 and is sprayed diagonally downward from its injection port. The sludge accumulated on Rolled Gutter B is loosened. Then, the loosened sludge is sucked from the suction nozzle 10, passes through the suction hose 15, and is collected by the sludge suction vehicle D.

The gutter cleaning device A can be adapted to rolled gutters B of different sizes by adjusting the width of the wheels 2, 2, . . . and the height of the high-pressure water discharge pipe 6 and suction nozzle 10.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and for example, it is also possible to change the hand-push type to a self-propelled type.

Effects of the invention According to this invention, it is possible to collect and remove the sludge accumulated in the gutter without scattering it to the surrounding area, which is very hygienic, and one worker can loosen the sludge and collect it by suction. This makes it possible to reduce the number of workers.
