JPH1159583A - Buoyant scrubbing brush for ship - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily clean an underwater part even from the onboard side by making use of the buoyancy of an air bag, etc., to bring a scrubbing brush close to a hull. providing a rope, etc. SOLUTION: An underwater part can be efficiently cleaned even when not in water by bringing a scrubbing brush 1 close to a hull by making use of the buoyancy of an air bag 2, etc., providing a rope, etc., and operating the scrubbing brush body from the onboard side. The scrubbing brush 1 and the air bag 2 can be detached from each other, and the scrubbing brush 1 can be exchanged. A buoyant material can be used in place of the air bag 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0101]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention utilizes the buoyancy of an air bag (changes the amount of gas enclosed to change the buoyancy in accordance with the state of aquatic organisms (mainly marine organisms) attached to a hull), and scoops the hull. In addition to efficiently cleaning the underwater part of the hull, a rope etc. is attached, and the underwater part can be efficiently cleaned without operating the main body from the ship and entering the water, and also cleaning on the ship The present invention relates to a buoyancy scouring device for a ship, which is made possible as before.

[0092]

2. Description of the Related Art When trying to clean the hull of a ship, especially the bottom of the ship, using a conventional scrubber, it is difficult to clean the ship from the water or on the water. By simply stroking, the aquatic organisms (mainly marine organisms) attached to the hull could not be cleaned in the same situation. In addition, when trying to clean using a diving device, the body floats in the water and just stroking the hull, which is a waste of physical strength as a matter of course, resulting in no wasted effort. Was. The use of the burrs had the same effect; it was merely an extension of the hand, and the effort was inexhaustible, and the burrs would also scratch the hull.

[0093]

As a result, many boats tend to neglected to clean the hull, leaving many aquatic organisms (mainly marine organisms) attached to the hull. In addition to being unable to demonstrate its performance, it increases fuel consumption and wastes resource and energy. Further, a large amount of bottom paint compress for preventing aquatic organisms from adhering to the hull contaminates seawater and the like. The present invention has been invented to eliminate such wasteful use (wasteful use of physical strength, fuel and resource energy, etc.) and pollution.

[0093]

Now, the structure will be described. (1) An air bladder 2 is provided between scourers 1. (2) The scourer 1 is provided with a hole 3 through which the rope passes. (3) An opening 4 for introducing and removing gas from the air bag 2 is provided. (4) A buoyancy scouring device for ships, in which a scourer 1 is attached around an air bag 2. The device is operated as described above.

[0056]

When the underwater part of the hull is cleaned from the ship or the sea, the buoyancy scissors with ropes and the length adjusted according to the size of the ship are used. The buoyancy makes the scoop close to the hull, so you can easily clean the hull. In addition, the hull above the water can be cleaned in the same manner as before, and if the air bag is removed and only the scoop is used, the range of use can be further expanded.

[0086]

[Embodiment] As described above, since the scourer and the air bag can be removed, the scourer can be freely replaced and the amount of gas enclosed can be changed, so that the scrubber can be changed according to the degree of dirt on the hull and the state of aquatic organisms. By adjusting the buoyancy, the initial target efficiency can be increased.

007

According to the present invention, the scourer is brought into close contact with the hull by the buoyancy of the air bag, so that the aquatic organisms attached to the hull can be easily dropped just by pulling out a rope or the like. And the like can be eliminated.
