JPH10195835A - Guardrail cleaner - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaner by which a guardrail can be cleaned without the need of an operator having a special technique and a traffic controlling person and without obstructing the road. SOLUTION: A guardrail cleaner is so constructed that a frame 1 is installed movably on a guide rail by a guide roll 3 which can be locked on the upper edge of the guide rail. A brush 5 fitted to the frame 1 and a self-running roller 6 brought into contact with the side of the guard rail are driven by an engine 4 loaded on the frame 1, whereby while the frame 1 is moved by the self-running roller 6, the stains on the side of the guard rail can be removed by the brush 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning machine used for removing dirt on a side surface of a guard rail.

[0002]

Conventionally, a cleaning vehicle provided with a brush on the side was slowly run along the girder rail to remove dirt on the side of the girder rail. There were the following disadvantages. During the cleaning of the garage rail by the cleaning vehicle, one lane of the driving lane is blocked, which hinders traffic. You cannot enter narrow passages. A cleaning vehicle driver and traffic coordinator are required. The present invention has been made to solve these drawbacks, and does not obstruct traffic, does not require a driver or a traffic coordinator having special skills, and can clean the garage. -The purpose of this is to provide a cleaning machine.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A girder cleaner according to the present invention has a girder that can be locked to an upper edge of the girder.
An engine in which a frame is movably mounted on a girdle with a drawer, and a brush mounted on the frame and a self-propelled roller abutting on a side surface of the girder are mounted on the frame. Driven by
While the frame is moved by a self-propelled roller, the brush is capable of removing dirt on the side surfaces of the guard rail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, a frame 1 can be moved to the upper edge of a guard rail 2 in FIG. The engine 4 is mounted on an upper portion of the frame 1, and a pulley 8 and a gear 9 are mounted on a shaft 7 of the engine 4. A brush 5 attached to the frame 1 and rotating in contact with the side surface of the guard rail 2
A pulley 11 is attached to the shaft 10 of this pulley.
Is connected to a pulley 8 of a shaft 7 of the engine 4 by a belt 12, and by driving the engine 4, the brush 5
Is designed to rotate. A gear 14 is mounted on the shaft 13 of the self-propelled roll 6 which is mounted on the frame 1 and rotates while being in contact with the side surface of the guard rail 2.
By driving the engine 4 by meshing with the gear 9 of the shaft 7 of the engine 4, the frame 1 can self-run along the side surface of the guard rail 2.

The shaft 13 of the self-propelled roll 6 has to be moved slowly enough for the worker accompanying the frame 1 to walk.
Is larger than the gear 9 of the shaft 7 of the engine 4. The outer diameter of the brush 5 is at least the guard rail 2
It is necessary to reach the concave part of the hole sufficiently. In this example,
Although the case where the number of the brushes 5 is two is shown, it is possible to freely increase or decrease the number as needed.

The guide roll 3 has a structure comprising a roll 3a which rolls on the inclined upper surface of the girder roll 2 and a roll 3b which rolls over the upper edge of the girder roll 2. However, the results of experiments performed on the prototype machine are preferable because the frame 1 can be smoothly locked and moved.

If necessary, if wheels 15 are mounted on the frame 1 on the opposite side of the self-propelled roll 6, the guide roll 3 can be supported and moved by the joint of the guard rail 2 or the like. When it runs out, the operator can manually move the frame 1, which is convenient. Although illustration is omitted,
Each surface of the frame 1 other than the surface facing the drill 2 is covered so that the dust dropped by the brush 4 does not scatter.
A garbage bag for storing dust can be detachably attached to the lower surface.

For the self-propelled roll 6, the suspended frame 1
Although there is no particular limitation as long as the structure can be brought into contact with the side of the guard rail 2 without slipping, the results of an experiment conducted on the prototype show that a Those having the structure shown above showed good results.

The length of the cleaning machine of the present invention varies depending on the number of brushes 4 to be mounted, but the depth is about several tens of centimeters, and the cleaning machine is of a size that can be cleaned without obstructing the traffic of the vehicle at all.

[0010]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. The guard rail can be cleaned without obstructing the traffic of the vehicle. It can be cleaned even with a girder installed in a narrow passage. Since it is a self-propelled type, only one worker is required to attend, saving labor.
