- the crazy rear wheel can be split conventionally.
- an engine assembly for the traction of the vehicle that is to say on the left in FIG. 1, are assembled an engine assembly for the traction of the vehicle, a mechanical, hydraulic or electric power generation circuit and possibly a reservoir 18 of liquid. disinfectant and its associated spraying circuit.
- the rear part of the chassis comprises two side walls extending the side walls of the engine assembly and held at the rear in the middle by a transverse bar 14 which can act as a seat or seat support, below by an inclined plane 52 and at the top by a roll bar 16.
- This roll bar 16 constitutes a safety element for the driver seated on the seat 14 in the event of accidental overturning of the vehicle.
- this hoop 16 can be used to support one or more headlights 17 for night work as well as a winch 19 used when loading the tools as will be explained later.
- Each internal face of the side walls is provided with an oblique slide 54 and 56 defining with the inclined plane 52 a housing 50 in the form of a duct of substantially rectangular section starting from the rear face of the vehicle and opening out substantially in the middle. vehicle floor.
- a cartridge containing the tools specific to the type of cleaning desired At the edge of the lower mouth, that is to say facing down, of the housing 50 are provided front and rear retaining bars 59 58, it being understood that these retaining bars could also be located at the lower edge of the side walls.
- the engine assembly comprises a heat engine 70, such as a gasoline engine mounted on a self-propelled lawn mower, with a battery 74 for the associated starter.
- This motor 70 acts on the traction wheels 11 through a gearbox and transmission 76 making it possible to drive one of the wheels more or less relative to the other which, with the rear idler wheel 15, causes a rotation of the vehicle which can thus be guided.
- the power circuit is hydraulic and comprises a reservoir 75 of hydraulic liquid such as oil, a hydraulic pump 72 driven by the motor 70 and connected to a housing 78 where the fittings for power pipes 79 are joined. subsequently to be connected to the tool cartridges installed in the housing 50.
- a hydraulic pump 72 driven by the motor 70 and connected to a housing 78 where the fittings for power pipes 79 are joined. subsequently to be connected to the tool cartridges installed in the housing 50.
- driving each wheel 11 by an independent hydraulic motor 76 and supplied by the hydraulic pump 72. Then, by controlling the hydraulic flow of the two hydraulic motors 76 respectively, the drive of each of the wheels 11 is modulated, therefore the turns can be very short made by the vehicle.
- this vehicle is particularly suitable for cleaning small spaces such as, on beaches, corridors between cabins, access areas or play areas.
- the preferred dimensions of the vehicle are approximately 2.5 m long by 1 m wide with traction and steering wheels 11 40 cm wide.
- a reservoir 18 of disinfectant liquid which is taken up by a pump 77 to be sent either directly to sprayers permanently mounted on the chassis and not shown, or to the connection box 78 in an additional pipe 79 to be subsequently connected to a cartridge which itself has sprayers.
- a seawater electrolyzate is used as disinfectant liquid, effectively destroying exogenous pathogenic germs and subsequently degrading into harmless salts under the action of the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
- the tools specific to a type of cleaning are contained in a cartridge 100 illustrated in FIG. 3 open at the bottom and whose external shape corresponds to the duct 50.
- the opening towards the bottom of the cartridge 100 can be closed by a cover 101 then giving the assembly a generally parallelepiped shape.
- climbing ramps are provided such as that designated by the reference 90 in FIG. 3 or 91 in FIG. 4.
- the climbing ramp 90 is concave and its climbing plane is preferably lined with a sheet of hard material with low coefficient of friction such as aluminum foil or teflon.
- the climb plane 91 is convex and can, in this case, consist of a series of transverse rollers on which the cartridge can roll.
- FIG. 5 illustrates, in longitudinal section, the tool associated with cleaning fine sand contained in a cartridge 100.
- This tool firstly comprises a shovel 110 put forward or retracted by means of a jack 118 located in the upper part of the internal face of the cartridge 100.
- the sand collected by this shovel 110 is brought from a screening belt 130 situated parallel to the lower internal face of the cartridge 100.
- the fine sand passes through the screen 130 while the waste are transported through the cartridge 100 to a rear container 115.
- the sand falling to the ground at the outlet of the screen belt 130 is sprayed with a disinfectant liquid using sprayers 132.
- the disinfectant liquid is an electrolyzate of biodegradable seawater.
- FIG. 6 illustrates in longitudinal section a cartridge containing a tool specially designed for cleaning rollers.
- This cartridge 200 comprises a casing 224 pushed forward or withdrawn by a jack 218.
- this casing 224 forms, with its rounded front wall 234, its side walls and the rear flexible wall 226, a chamber inside which rotates a shaft 230 provided with fins stirring the rollers which it projects against the flexible wall 226.
- a fan of sufficient and adjustable power puts the front chamber under vacuum, that is to say that a current d air carries all light waste through a duct in an internal tank 224 of the housing.
- the fan inlet is fitted with a filter.
- FIG. 7 illustrates in section a cartridge 300 containing a tool specifically designed for cleaning flat hard floors.
- This cartridge comprises, similarly to the cartridge 200, a casing 324 advanced and withdrawn by a jack 318.
- the front opening 326 surrounds a brush 322 through which a stream of air sucked in by the fan 320 protected by a filter 325.
- the dust and other detritus lifted by the brush 322 are taken into an internal reservoir in the casing 324.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a cartridge 400 empty but provided with a lower bottom constituting a trunk in which various objects can be transported.
- the structure of the vehicle 10 allows on the one hand to bring together in a part before all common parts whatever the type of cleaning: motor assembly for traction and steering, hydraulic, even mechanical or electrical power generation circuit for tools as well as a possible tank and pump for disinfectant liquid; and on the other hand a sufficient housing 50 in which can be inserted different cartridges each containing the tool specific to a given type of cleaning.
- the connection points between the box 78 and a cartridge connection box systematically located in correspondence make it possible to transmit to the tools of the cartridge the energy necessary for its operation.
- connection means making it possible to attach two vehicles to treat corridors whose width is twice that of an individual vehicle. It is then necessary to provide the set of management means, possibly computerized, making it possible to judiciously distribute the driving power on each wheel there during a turn.
- This vehicle can also be supplemented with automatic piloting means identical to those installed in the autoguided trolleys present in industrial stores. Other improvements can be made in the context of the present invention.
