Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for inspecting and cleaning and/or removing the sticking of algae and such to the submerged flat and curved surfaces, as of ships, mostly pleasure yachts, in which the cleaning device is called scrub machine, in which at least one moving brush is used, which can be driven hydraulically.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such an apparatus for inspecting and environmentally friendly mechanically/hydraulically cleaning of underwater surfaces of vessels, swimming pools, aquariums, in which the aforementioned objections and/or disadvantages are solved, which can be realized with an environmentally friendly management and which apparatus can be put economically favourable onto the market.
  • the mentioned cleaning device is successively constructed of elements among which a self-priming cleaning head, which can be driven hydraulically, mechanically or electrically, a suction hose, a coarse filter, a vacuum gauge, a suction pump amongst others for the self-priming working of the mentioned cleaning head, a micro filter and a drain hose to the surface water or a samp, in which the suspension fork with the cleaning head is provided with an underwater camera with illumination, in which the results can be made visible on a monitor on board of a ship that has to be cleaned below water surface, in which the mentioned cleaning head is movable by means of a control or inspection apparatus in the form of a telescopic extendable rod with in its extension the single sided articulated hinging belt, movable along the mentioned surface to be cleaned, in which, if required, an environmentally friendly cleaning fluid can be dosed on the
  • the advantage is an apparatus which can be operated on the wharf or waterside and of which the waste can be discharged into the water without problems, through which a lot of cost is saved and an environmentally friendly solution is created.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is developed in such a way, that the mentioned self-priming cleaning head is supplied with an oval shaped outer hood for cleaning the surface close to the waterline with an all round edge provided with an exchangeable brush edge, in which inside the mentioned oval shaped outer hood preferably a rotating brush inside the suction housing is fixed, in which the underpressure is preferably between 0,1 and 0,6 atmosphere (0,1 and 0,6 m watercolumn underpressure) .
  • the advantage is that the apparatus is thightly pressed against the surface to be cleaned and can brush well and because of the oval hood, good cleaning can be done on and just above the waterline.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is developed in such a way, that the mentioned coarse filter is built up cylindrically with a discharge from the inside to the outside, in which the actual filter is made from wound polypropylene with filter openings of approximately 60 micron, in which the mentioned micro filter is, for example, a fibre filter of wound polypropylene with filter openings of approximately 20 micron.
  • the advantages are that flakes and small parts of the anti-fouling layer and the pollution of the underwater surface is collected perfectly and can later be delivered separately as compact dirt at the proper authorities for further processing.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is developed in such a way, that the mentioned underwater camera with illumination is constructed according to the specifications of a digital "fisheye" underwater camera.
  • the advantage is that a suitable illumination for inspection is present on the spot, so that the condition of the surface can be shown clearly on the monitor.
  • the mentioned control and inspection apparatus consists of a telescopic extendable rod with on the end and in one direction a movable articulated elongated element, that from one direction in extended position is hinging and on the end is supplied with an organ constructed as a fork shaped element with a floating capacity of some kilos, called a floating suspension fork.
  • the advantage is that due to the forced up power of the suspension fork and the articulated elongated element the apparatus is already pushed against the curved underwater surface and when released by the user stays afloat so that one does not have to search on the bottom.

  • Figure 5 shows in oblique projection the self-priming cleaning head 9 with flowing suspension fork 19, in which the rotating brush 28 and the side brushes 25 are clearly visible. It also indicates that the oval (outer) housing 23 is an inner suction housing 29 around the rotating brush 28. Further, the digital "fisheye" underwater camera 21, which is mounted on the floating suspension fork 19, is shown clearly.
  • Figure 6 shows an exploded view in oblique projection of a self-priming cleaning head 9 with the floating suspension fork 19, which allows insight into more details of the constructive design. In this case, the rotating brush 28 is mechanically (geared) driven. Furthermore the oval brush edge 30 is indicated separately.
