Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roof cleaning device comprising moving means, cleaning means and soil suction means present on said roof.
  • the present invention proposes to solve these problems with the aid of a cleaning device that is simple, adaptable, efficient, less expensive and requiring no human intervention in direct contact on the roof to be cleaned.
  • the present invention relates to a device for cleaning a roof comprising moving means, cleaning means and soil suction means present on said roof, characterized in that the movement of said device on said roof is realized using remote control means.
  • the cleaning device is able to move in any direction on the roof.
  • the remote control means consist of a device elevation connected by sliding means to said cleaning, said sliding means consisting of at least one rail on which is able to move a winch connected to said device.
  • the winch is connected by means of a cable, of adjustable length, to said device.
  • the means of cleaning are consist of a set of brushes set in motion using means of training, for example a drive belt.
  • each brush presents constituent elements allowing it to be in contact with the roof.
  • the cleaning device has means storing the dirt sucked by the suction means.
  • the elevating device is a crane-type machine.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the cleaning device 1 associated with remote control means 2 of the displacement and setting up the device 1.
  • the cleaning device 1 is a device capable of cleaning any type of roof 3, for example in tiles or slates and on which developed foam or any other type of plant elements, minerals or biological.
  • the remote control means 2 consist of an interface manual control (not shown in the figure but of known type per se) allowing a user on the ground to move a particular elevation device 4, of a type known per se, to which the device is connected 1 by means of sliding means 5.
  • the elevating device 4 is for example a crane or a nacelle up to a height of 40 m.
  • the lifting device 4 has on its end a pod 6 to which is connected a slide rail 7, of general shape longitudinal, on which is able to move a winch 8.
  • the nacelle 6 is connected to the rail 7 by connecting means known per se, in particular using metal hooks, so that the rail 7 either in fixed relation with the platform 6.
  • the winch 8 is connected by means of connection means of the cable type 9 to cleaning device 1, the cable 9 being any type of cable having high tensile properties, for example cables metal.
  • the control means 2 thus make it possible, in addition to the movement of the lifting device 4 and its nacelle 6, the movement of the winch 8 on the rail 7 but also to adjust the length of the cable 9 between the winch 8 and the cleaning device 1.
  • the cable 9 is connected by connecting means known per se to the device 1 and the winch 8 has means for winding the cable 9 thus allowing depending on the length of the cable 9 between the winch 8 and the cleaning device 1, its increase and decrease, a moving the cleaning device 1 perpendicular to the rail of sliding 7.
  • a lateral displacement of the winch 8 on the rail 7 causes also a lateral displacement of the cleaning device 1 on the roof 3.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial view of three quarters in perspective of the cleaning device 1.
  • the cleaning device 1 is in the form of a housing of parallelepipedal general shape (not shown in FIG. readability measure).
  • the proximal portion 1a has a perforated plate 14 corresponding to the proximal face of the cleaning device 1 and through which are arranged the displacement means 10 and the means of cleaning 11.
  • the displacement means 10 are in the form of four wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) advantageously disposed to the four corners of the plate 14 to allow the movement of the device of cleaning 1 on a roof 3.
  • the cleaning means 11 consist of a plurality of brushes 15 shaped so as to be held by the perforated plate 14 and able to brush and clean the roof 3 on which the device of cleaning 1 moves.
  • each brush 15 is present in the form of a cylindrical element 16 having at its proximal end 16a a horsehair set 17 of conical shape suitable for brush the roof 3, the set of horsehairs 17 being in contact with the roof 3 and its soiling.
  • the cylindrical element 16 is associated with a crenellated wheel 18 capable of being rotated by the drive means 12, and more precisely by a drive belt 19, the cylindrical element 16 passing through the central axis of the wheel 18.
  • the cylindrical element 16 is shaped so that a movement of the wheel 18 on itself causes a movement of the element cylindrical 16 on itself, the cylindrical element 16 being however able to move along its longitudinal axis in order to adapt the brush 15 to any type of surface (flat, curved, inclined, ..) to be cleaned, that is to say, so that the set of horsehairs 17 is always in contact with the roof 3.
  • the drive belt 19 is in contact with all the wheels crenelated 18 brushes 15, so that a displacement of the drive belt 19 allows the rotation of the castellated wheels 18 on themselves around their central axis, and therefore the rotation on themselves cylindrical elements 16 and horsehair assemblies 17 on the roof 3, thereby performing the brushing and cleaning of the roof 3.
  • the distal portion 1b consists of the suction means 13 comprising a motor assembly 20, of a type known per se, capable of sucking the dirt collected by two suction heads (21, 22) present on two opposite side faces of the cleaning device 1.
  • Each suction head (21, 22) is of a type known per se and presents each respectively an interior volume (21a, 22a) delimited by two flanges (21b, 21c, 22b, 22c) and in which a suction pressure is exerted on the roof 3 thus making it possible to suck the brushed dirt by the cleaning means 11.
  • the user must therefore by means of remote control means 2, while first, clean an area of the roof 3 using the brushes 15, to then suck the brushed soils in this area to using the heads of aspirations (21, 22).
  • the suction heads (21, 22) are connected to the motor assembly 20 by via a suction pipe 23.
  • the dirt sucked by the motor 20 is then rejected by a discharge pipe 24 opening into a storage tank (not shown but of known type) disposed above the distal portion 1b.
  • the motor assembly 20 is also capable of grinding the sucked dirt by the suction heads (21, 22) so as to reduce their occupied volume in the storage bin.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic three-quarter view of the part proximal 1a of the cleaning device 1.
  • the means of training 12 of the cleaning means 11 are constituted by a drive motor 25 adapted to drive the belt 19 and are controlled remotely by the means of remote control 2.
  • the drive motor 25 is connected to the drive belt 19 as well as a moving belt 26 which connects the wheels together (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d), the wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) being also consisting of a crenellated wheel 27 on which the travel belt 26 is supported, a displacement of the travel belt 27 causing a displacement of the corresponding wheel (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).
  • Each wheel (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) also has an element cylindrical 28 of the same type and function as the element cylindrical 16 of the brushes 15.
  • the wheel (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) also has a cylindrical element 28 able to move longitudinally and in association with a wheel crenated 27 such that a rotation of the castellated wheel 27 causes a rotation of the cylindrical element around its axis longitudinal.
  • a rotational movement of the castellated wheels 27 of the wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) causes a displacement in rotation about its axis longitudinal axis of the cylindrical element 28 and therefore a displacement in rotation of the corresponding wheel (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).
  • a cross 29 connects the wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) two by two by the distal ends of the cylindrical elements 27.
  • FIG. 5 represents a view from above of the proximal portion 1a of the device according to the invention.
  • the wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) are all four interconnected by a moving belt 26 but two of them (10a, 10b) are also connected by means of displacement control 30 wheels able to direct and maintain the two wheels connected (10a, 10b) by the control means in moving 30 parallel to each other.
  • the displacement control means 30 are, for example, under the shape of a crossbar.
  • the four wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) undergo the same movement in rotation and are always parallel to each other.
  • the remote control means 2 are also able to direct the wheel control means 30 so as to be able to move laterally the cleaning device 1.
  • Figure 6 represents more precisely the different constituent elements of a brush 15 and Figure 7 the constituent elements of a wheel 10a.
  • the cleaning 1 is adapted to adapt the length of the cylindrical elements respective ones (16, 28) of the brushes 15 and wheels (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) of such that the brushes 15 are always in contact with the roof 3 and that the device 1 is sufficiently stable on any type of roof 3.
  • brushes can be added laterally to the perforated plate 14 thus making it possible to clean on the sides of the cleaning device 1.
  • spraying means on the roof 3 of a roof treatment product are provided on the cleaning device 1.
