Definitions

• the object of the realization of this machine is to provide a suitable and automatic treatment to the facades of buildings.
• the treatment will be carried out through the application and processing of chemical or biological products, for cleaning, protection, preparation and / or decoration of the exterior faces of the buildings.
• the machine can be used for cranes that are installed on the roofs of the buildings, or one designed for this purpose can be installed.
• This system used today has the disadvantage of the risk that occurs when having to place the people suspended from the gondolas to carry out the relevant work.
• the machine in question consists of one or several structures - depending on the model - in which the different operating elements are housed.
• the main structure is moved by means of a crane located on the roof of the building, which is responsible for moving the machine throughout the facade. In this way, the route of the area to be treated is carried out.
• the products are transported by means of dosing pumps to diffusers and from there they are applied to the facade. Injection methods can also be used for this function if necessary.
• These products can be water, soap, detergent, bactericides, strippers, paints, primers, waterproofing, enamels, brighteners, decontaminants and other chemical or biological products that perform cleaning and / or facade treatment functions.
• the applied product is distributed and processed by using a rotating roller driven by a motor.
• the roller can be mounted with metal or plastic bristles, sandpaper, suede, sponge, etc.
• the surface is treated, it is dried by means of a ventilation system, although in optional embodiments it is possible to incorporate suction systems, compressed air, infrared, racket, cloth, or by combining them.
• the machine is equipped with a deposit to collect leftover used materials.
• the applied products are recyclable, such as water or cleaning products, they are collected in the tank by means of rubber skirts or with a liquid vacuum cleaner and through the use of suitable filters they can be reused.
• the machine leans against the facade by means of a system of wheels that can be simple or composed, and thus moves attached to the facade as the crane releases the cable. In the case of buildings that are not completely smooth, the machine has a multi-wheel system that is used to overcome obstacles.
• the machine In the case of buildings equipped with low-power cranes, the machine is divided into two parts: fixed part and mobile part.
• the fixed part contains the pumps and liquid tanks and is located on the roof of the building.
• the mobile part contains the rest of the machinery elements. This reduces the weight of the moving part of the machine, dosing the products from the fixed part.
• the system is governed by a custom designed micro-controller system, and can optionally mount standard industrial systems, such as industrial computers, automatons, remote controls or the like. With this we can provide the machine with the different government controls such as the dosage of the different products used, self-diagnosis, remote control, crane, sensor control, signaling and safety systems.
• the machine is the result of the combination of the previous circuits, these being multiple, that is, each circuit can be multiplied as many times as desired. Likewise, several assemblies can be mixed within the same machine, formed by the different combinations of the described circuits, thereby giving rise to the different machine models. If necessary, the electrical systems can be exchanged for pneumatic systems that fulfill the aforementioned tasks.
• Figure 1 shows the subset that transports the Liquids that are projected against the surface of the facade; being: 1.- Deposit of Liquid. 2.- Liquid siphon pump.
• Figure 2 shows the subset that performs the treatment of the Liquids attached to the facade; being: 5.- Rodülo. 6.- RodÜlo core. 7.- Rodülo shaft. 8.- Key. 9.- Pulleys.
• Figure 3 shows the circuit that dries the surface treated by blowing; being:
• the Liquids to be applied to the surface to be treated are located in their corresponding tanks (figure 1, position 1). From these tanks and by means of dosing pumps (fig. 1, pos. 2), these liquids are aspirated and through some ducts they are placed in tubes (figure 1, pos. 3) where the diffusers are located (fig. .1, pos. 4). It is at this point where the liquid in question comes out, propelled towards the surface to be treated.
• the circuits can be independent in such a way that the Liquids are not mixed, or together so that they are mixed at the time of their application.
• This motor when moving, moves the brush and turns it, so when the brush comes in contact with the facade, this surface is treated with the product placed in the previous phase.
• the shaft is mounted on suitable bearings (fig. 2, pos 11).
• the surface After applying the products and treating the façade with the roller, the surface is dried.
• the machine will be equipped with a fan
• Skirts protect the entire area of the surface to be treated. This has a double purpose: to protect the surfaces attached to the treatment area from possible splashes and to collect the remaining product.
• skirts or lips guide the remaining liquid to a recycling tank and using the system described in the "Liquid Transfer” section, and with the inclusion of a suitable filter, we re-project that product on the surface, with the consequent saving of The raw material used.
