Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for cleaning tires of construction vehicles.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, in excavation work, a dump truck for carrying out sediment moves between the construction area and a general road. Therefore, the mud adhered to the tires of the dump truck will be dropped on the road around the construction area, and this will spread, which is not preferable.

For this reason, when the dump truck exits the construction area, it is common for the worker to wash the mud off the tires in advance with a washing machine using high-pressure water.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional cleaning method, since the vehicle is cleaned while the vehicle is stopped, a part of the tire tread portion (contact surface) that is in close contact with the ground remains, and the portion is sufficiently cleaned. There is a problem that you cannot do it.

Further, it is difficult to clean the sidewall (side wall portion) portion located on the back surface side of the tire, and there is a risk of leaving mud. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to place road cleaning personnel around the site, but there is a risk of complaints from local residents because accidents with general vehicles may occur and cleaning may be insufficient. is there.

On the other hand, as a countermeasure, it is very unfavorable from the viewpoint of cost and work efficiency to secure a large number of personnel for cleaning and an expensive cleaning device and to take time for cleaning.

The present invention has been made in view of the above matters, does not require a person for cleaning tires, can almost completely clean mud adhering to tires, and does not require cleaning of a traveling path. It is a technical object to provide a tire cleaning device having the above structure.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above technical problems. A water tank 2 having a width equal to or larger than the width of the vehicle 1 and formed so that the vehicle 1 can pass through is provided on the road surface, and in this water tank 2, beam members 3 orthogonal to the passing direction of the vehicle 1 are arranged at predetermined intervals, These beam members 3 have a rising portion 5 from the bottom portion 4 of the water tank 2 and a flat surface portion 6 on the upper surface so that the tires of the vehicle 1 can pass through the adjacent beam members 3. At this time, the tires were installed at a predetermined distance that would deform them, and the water surface of the water tank 2 was set to a height at which the side surfaces of the tires were immersed.

As the girder material 3, any material such as H-shaped steel, C channel, waste rail, etc. can be used as long as it has a flat portion 6 on the upper surface of the rising portion 5.

[0010]

[Action]

 When the tire 7 of the vehicle 1 passes over the beam member 3, the tire 7 is repeatedly deformed by the void portion provided between the adjacent beam members 3. At this time, the mud clogging the tread portion of the tire 7 is discharged and the mud clinging to the sidewall portion is washed. The washed mud settles on the bottom portion 4 of the water tank 2 and can be discharged to the outside by an appropriately provided drain pipe or the like.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, a rectangular water tank 2 is installed on the ground, and the water tank 2 is paved around the water tank 2 so as to raise the height of asphalt. Therefore, the water tank 2 does not protrude from the road and is buried in the ground. Then, the vehicle 1 can wash the tire 7 by passing through the water tank 2.

The water tank 2 is formed by placing a concrete slab 2a on the ground and surrounding the concrete slab 2a with a weir 2b having a substantially L-shaped cross section. The portion surrounded by the weir 2b has a width equal to or larger than the width of the vehicle 1 and a length substantially equal to the entire length of the vehicle, and the depth thereof is set to be substantially equal to the diameter of the tire 7 of the vehicle 1. There is.

Around the weir 2b is paved with asphalt 8, and the upper edge of the weir 2b is at the same height as the upper surface of the asphalt 8. Therefore, the water in the water tank 2 is blocked by the asphalt 8 and does not leak elsewhere.

A pit 11 for drainage is provided at a corner of the concrete slab 2 a, and a drainage pipe 9 is connected to the pit 11. The drain pipe 9 is connected to sewage or a waste water treatment device, and discharges the muddy water settling in the water tank 2. In addition, if the water tank 2 is constantly supplied with water, it becomes easier to discharge the muddy water.

An upper surface of the concrete slab 2 a serves as a bottom portion 4 of the water tank 2, and two vertical girders 10 and 10 are arranged on the bottom portion 4 along the longitudinal direction of the water tank 2. H steel is used for the stringers 10 and 10.

On the upper surface of the vertical girders 10 and 10, a large number of girder members 3 are arranged at predetermined intervals so as to bridge the vertical girders 10 and 10. These girder members 3 are orthogonal to the longitudinal girders 10 and 10 and are perpendicular to the passage direction of the vehicle 1.

H steel is used for the girder material 3 and has a shape in which plate-shaped flat portions 6, 6 are connected by a rising portion 5. The width of the flat portions 6, 6 is 300 mm, and the spacing between the adjacent beam members 3 is 150 mm. This interval is a distance that gives a proper deformation to the tire 7 when the tire 7 of the vehicle 1 passes over the girder member 3.

The water surface height of the water tank 2 is set so that the side surface 8 of the tire 7 is submerged, and when the water surface is lowered, water is supplied to maintain the water level. In the above-described configuration, when the tire 7 is washed, the vehicle 1 having the soil material deposited on the girder material 3 is passed through (FIG. 1). Then, the tire 7 alternately passes through the flat surface portion 6 of the girder material 3 and the void portion provided between the adjacent girder materials 3 and is repeatedly deformed (FIG. 2). Due to the stress at this time, the mud clogging the tread portion of the tire 7 is discharged into the water. In addition, the mud clinging to the sidewall is also cleaned at the same time. The washed mud settles on the bottom 4 of the water tank 2 and is discharged to the outside from the pit 11 through the drainage pipe 9.

The rising portion 5 and the vertical girders 10 and 10 provide a sufficient clearance between the flat surface portion 6 and the bottom portion 4 of the water tank 2, so that the mud may wind up when the vehicle 1 passes through. There is no.

In the above embodiment, many girder members 3 are arranged on the vertical girders 10 and 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the girder members 3 may be directly arranged on the upper surface of the concrete slab 2a. Of course. Further, the girder material 3 is not limited to the H-shaped steel as illustrated, but may be a C channel, a waste rail, etc., that is, any material having a flat surface portion 6 on the upper surface of the rising portion 5.

The spacing between adjacent girder members 3 can be appropriately changed according to the tire size of a vehicle passing through. As mentioned above, this device can be installed if there is enough space for one vehicle, and there is also the problem that water will be splashed even if there are materials and buildings around because it does not use high pressure water as in the past. Absent. Moreover, since it can be washed unattended, there is no risk of accidents and it can be easily applied to small sites.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the tire is configured to alternately pass through the flat portion of the girder material and the void portion formed between the adjacent girder materials, the tire can be washed unattended. Therefore, it is possible to save a lot of labor.

Further, since the tire is washed while rotating, there is no cleaning residue and there is no risk of polluting nearby roads.
