Description

The device relates to equipment for cleaning and washing the vertical planes of various structures and, in particular, can be used to create devices for the automated cleaning of windows of tall buildings.

It is known ″ Device for washing glass window openings ″ (1) consisting of a tank with washing liquid, a mixer connected by a flexible hose to a spray gun and a receiver with nozzles. When the device is in operation, the operator has to manually bring the receiver with spray nozzles to the object to be cleaned, and then also manually clean the window, which reduces the quality of work, and in many cases these tasks become very dangerous, for example, when cleaning windows in high-rise buildings. These disadvantages are partially eliminated in the closest in technical essence to the invention in the well-known "Window Cleaning Device" (2), consisting of a case in the form of a frame having a cross-section in the form of a triangle on which a washing element with a brush and nozzles is fixed. The case is suspended on a rope or cable passed through the block on the roof of the building. The worker, raising or lowering the cable, gives the entire structure a translational movement, due to which the surface of the glass is processed. In this device, suspension of equipment on a cable, with constantly circulating air vortices around buildings, especially high-rise buildings, can lead to equipment swinging, which will reduce the quality of work, and even to an emergency situation, as a result of which the cleaning object itself can be damaged. In addition, when cleaning the windows of tall buildings in the device, the use of a long cable is required, which significantly increases the weight and makes the use of simple manual labor unacceptable. At the same time, for the orientation of the washing element and the control of cleanliness, the presence of a second operator at the window level is necessary.

The aim of the invention is to ensure the safety of work when cleaning the windows of buildings, in particular high-rise, and reducing the influence of atmospheric conditions.

This goal is achieved by the fact that in the device for cleaning windows of buildings containing a supporting frame of two side panels connected by uprights, an intermediate case, a mechanism for moving the device along the window vertically, a container for washing liquid, a pump and a pipeline for supplying it, a scraper and a working one a brush with a rotation mechanism, consisting of a cylindrical body with fiber bundles fixed to it and installed in the intermediate body.

In this case, the mechanism for moving the entire device along the window vertically is made in the form of two reversible linear electric motors installed on the side panels of the frame on each side of it one at a time and so that the axis of symmetry of the electric motors are parallel to each other and lie in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the working brush at the same time, inductors of electric motors are fixedly fixed on the side panels of the frame, and at the ends of the secondary elements of each electric motor are mounted height-adjustable brackets for fastening I was to the window frame.

In the proposed device, the scraper and the working brush with the rotation mechanism are installed in the intermediate housing so that the working surface of the scraper is parallel to the axis of rotation of the working brush, and the intermediate housing is pivotally mounted on the side panels of the frame and movably connected to the rotor of the control electromagnet, while the axis of the specified hinged the housing fastening is parallel to the axis of rotation of the working brush, and the stator of the control electromagnet is movably connected to the side panel of the frame.

In the aforementioned working brush, the housing is made in the form of a cylindrical shell with through radial holes uniformly distributed on its surface and forming jet nozzles, and bottoms are installed at the ends of the shell on both sides, on which brush rotation axes are installed, installed in the bearings of sliding bearings, mounted on the intermediate housing, while in one of the axes a through axial hole is made, and a sealing seal is installed in the bearing support of this axis in the sliding zone and made an axial hole adjacent on one side to the hole in the axis of the brush, and on the other hand to the pipeline supplying the washing liquid.

In order to reduce the dimensions and weight of the device, for example, cylindrical linear electric motors can be used as a linear electric motor to move the device along the window.

In FIG. 1 shows a General view of the proposed device. In FIG. 2, 3, 4 - cross section of the device, in FIG. 5 is a side view.

The device comprises a supporting frame consisting of two side panels 8 and connecting racks 7.

On the side panels 8 of the frame from the outside, with the help of clamps 16, two reversible linear electric motors 2, 3 are fixed, one on each side and so that the axis of symmetry of the motors are parallel to each other and lie in the same plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the working brush 4, 17, and on the panels of the frame 8 are fixed the bodies of the inductors 2 of each electric motor, the secondary element 3, of each electric motor with its ends is fixedly mounted on the vertical rack of the frame of the window 12 using height-adjustable brackets 11. and the device has a tank 10 for washing liquid, a pipe 13 and a pump 14, mounted on an intermediate housing 6, a scraper 1 and a working brush with a rotation mechanism 5 and consisting of a cylindrical shell 4, to which fiber bundles are fixed and in which radial holes are formed, forming jet nozzles. Two bottoms 17 with axes of rotation of the working brush are hermetically connected to the ends of the cylindrical shell, and a through axial hole is made in one of them. The axis of rotation is inserted into the bearings of the sliding bearing 15, mounted on the intermediate housing 6, while one of the bearings has an axial hole and a pipe for connecting the pipeline. The intermediate housing 6 is pivotally connected to the side panels 8 and is movably connected to the rotor of the control electromagnet 9, the stator of which is movably connected to the side panel 8.

The operation of the device is carried out according to the program embedded in the electronic control system, and the following is switched on sequentially: pump 14 of the fluid supply system, rotation mechanism 5 of the working brush 4.17, a signal is supplied to the control electromagnet 9, fixing the intermediate housing in a position in which only the working brush 4, 17 relates to glass, as shown in FIG. 2, then two linear electric motors are turned on, which move the entire device along with the working brush 4, 17 along the window upwards along the secondary elements of the electric motors 3. During operation, the washing liquid from the pipeline 13 through the axial holes in the support 15 and the axis of rotation of the brush 17 enters the internal cavity of the rotating brush and through the jet nozzles in the shell on the fiber bundles and the contaminated surface of the glass, and when the device moves along the glass surface upward, the washing liquid and the rotating brush produce Wear it efficiently. When the upper edge of the glazing is reached by a command from the control system, the device stops, the washing fluid is turned off, the brush rotates electric drive 5 and the housing 6 rotates using the control electromagnet 9, while the working elements — brush 4 and scraper 1 — go to the position shown in FIG. . 3, in which the scraper 1 touches the surface of the glass, then the linear electric motors 2 begin to move the device along the window down, while the scraper 1 removes the remnants of the washing liquid from the surface of the glass, leaving it clean.

During the cleaning process, if necessary, linear electric motors allow you to change the speed of the device, as well as to move the device back and forth in a specific area to clean local pollution.
