Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for cleaning sediments or the like deposited on the bottom of a gallery, for example a sewer, and a method of cleaning said sediments.
  • the machine object of the invention relates more particularly to a system that allows the cleaning of emissaries of a sewerage network carrying wastewater or the like. As time passed, materials settled at the bottom of the galleries that make up these sewers. The operator periodically entrusts to companies cleaning works of said galleries.
  • the document FR 2,693,220 shows a cleaning machine formed of two mobiles (13) and (32) in which the cleaning must be interrupted during the emptying of a second mobile (32), to avoid the transfer of sediment beyond a first mobile ( 13). So the cleaning process is interrupted.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a machine for cleaning sediments or the like which make it possible to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the complete machine is constituted by a first mobile which will be called after cleaning device and who performs the cleansing operation itself and which is provided with buffer storage means or temporary sediment removed at the bottom of the gallery, it is possible that the machine has a second mobile called marinating machine that can autonomously receive periodically stored sediment or the like temporarily on the cleaning machine and transport them to the area of the gallery or sewer corresponding to the evacuation of the sediments. It is of course understood that while the mariner makes its round trips, the cleaning machine can work permanently through the presence of buffer or temporary storage means called first storage means.
  • the first moving means are first motor means mounted on the first mobile or cleaning device.
  • the second moving means are also second motor means mounted on the second mobile or marinating machine.
  • the first transfer means comprise a loading screw arranged in line with the scraping means and / or a conveyor whose one end cooperates with the loading screw or the scraper device and the second end is disposed above first storage means.
  • said first storage means are arranged at the rear of the first mobile.
  • the second transfer means are mounted on said first mobile.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a sediment cleaning process including but not exclusively capable of being implemented using the machine defined above.
  • the cleaning machine consists essentially of a cleaning machine 10 and a pickling machine 12.
  • the cleaning machine is the first mobile and the pickling machine is the second mobile .
  • the cleaning device 10 comprises a support frame 14 equipped with a front wheel set 16 and, in the particular example described, two pairs of rear wheels 18 and 20.
  • a cleaning device 24 which is essentially constituted by a cleaning or scraping blade 26 better visible on the Figure 2A .
  • the shape of the cutting portion of the cleaning blade 26 is shaped to the shape of the lower portion 28 of the wall 30 of the gallery or sewer 32 in which the cleaning machine must intervene.
  • the cleaning device 24 may comprise a raised position standby and a low operating position.
  • a cylinder 34 allows to move from one to the other of these positions.
  • the cleaning device 24 is associated with a first means for transferring sediments and other debris recovered by the blade 26 which bears the general reference 36.
  • the first transfer device 36 is constituted by a loading screw 38 arranged in connection with the cleaning blade 26.
  • the loading screw 38 is preferably constituted by two end portions 38a and 38b each provided with a blade 37 and a central portion 38c without blades.
  • the function of the loading screw 38 is firstly due to the presence of the blades 37 to cut the pieces of sediment torn from the bottom of the gallery and secondly to bring back to the center these pieces of cut sediment.
  • a jack 35 moves the screw 38 from a raised position to a lowered working position.
  • the first transfer means 36 also comprises a conveyor 40 which has a first end 40a facing the loading screw 38 and preferably secured to the scraper blade 26 and a second end 40b.
  • both the loading screw 38 and the conveyor 40 are mounted on the frame 14 of the cleaning machine.
  • the cleaning machine also has at its rear end 42 a buffer hopper 44 which is the first storage means. This portion which is secured to the rear wheel trains 18 and 20 is preferably articulated about a vertical axis 46 relative to the front part of the cleaning machine 10. This joint 46 allows to conform the cleaning machine 10
  • the buffer hopper 44 preferably has an inclined bottom 48.
  • the cleaning apparatus 10 also comprises second transfer means constituted by the conveyor 50.
  • This conveyor 50 has a first part 50a which is arranged inside the hopper 44 near its bottom 48 and a second portion 50b external thereto. The end 50c of the conveyor 50 is disposed well beyond the rear end 44a of the hopper 44.
  • the wheel trains 16, 18 and 20 are pivotally mounted about axes which are angled relative to the horizontal. This arrangement makes it possible to conform the displacement of the cleaning apparatus to the shape of the bottom 28 of the wall 30 of the gallery.
  • the cleaning apparatus 10 of course also includes a cabin 52 for controlling the vehicle, motors not shown to drive the wheel trains, these engines being for example hydraulic.
  • the frame 14 also carries means for supplying pressurized fluid to control the rotation of the loading screw 38, the cylinders 34 and 35 for modifying the position of the cleaning blade 26, and the screw 38, as well as the conveyors 40 and 50.
  • the cleaning machine also comprises a second mobile which is constituted by the pickling machine 12 whose function is as it was said to allow the transfer of sediment between the cleaning machine 10 and an unloading area provided in the gallery.
  • the pickling machine 12 consists essentially of a frame 52 equipped for example with four sets of wheels 54, 56, 58 and 60.
  • These wheels of course also have rotation axes inclined relative to the horizontal to bear against the walls of the gallery. Preferably, these wheels bear against this wall in a position farther from the bottom of the gallery than the wheel trains 16 to 20 of the cleaning apparatus 10. In fact, this gives better running conditions for the wheel. marinating machine since the bottom of the gallery may present inequalities. It is understood that this arrangement is particularly interesting since if the cleaning machine 10 moves very slowly and only travels the distance corresponding to the gallery length to be cleaned, the pickling machine 12 is made to make a large number back and forth between the cleaning machine 10 and the unloading point.
  • the pickling machine 12 is equipped with a storage bin 62 which is preferably removable relative to the frame 52 of the pickling machine 12.
  • the pickling machine 12 is also equipped with a driving cabin 64 and driving motors of at least some of the wheel trains 54 to 60.
  • These wheels may be either standard wheels or roller wheels of the type described in the French patent FR 2 808 491 in the name of the plaintiff.
  • the speed of movement of the cleaning machine 10 during operation is of course very limited to obtain effective cleaning of the gallery. For example, it is worth 1 or 2m / min.
  • the machine of marinating 12, to go back and forth can of course have a higher speed of travel, for example of the order of 15 km / h.
  • the volume capacity of the hopper 44 of the cleaning machine 10 is defined suitably the volume capacity of the hopper 44 of the cleaning machine 10.
  • This volume capacity must be at least equal to the amount of sediment extracted by the cleaning device 10 when the mariner 12 travels the return trip between the cleaning machine 10 and the point of unloading sediment when the cleaning machine 10 is itself at the maximum distance from the unloading point .
  • the first storage means thus constitute a buffer zone for temporary retention of cleaning products which thus makes the two mobile machines autonomous. It is also of course that the capacity of the bucket 62 is adapted to that of the hopper 44.
  • the sediments are detached by the cleaning blade 26, they are transferred to the storage hopper 44 using the loading screw 38 and the first conveyor 40.
  • the marinating machine 12 which is disposed at the rear of the cleaning machine 10 is filled with the sediment via the second conveyor 50. This fills the removable bucket 62 of the pickling machine 12
  • the conveyor 50 is stopped and the pickling machine 12 moves to the unloading point P corresponding to an access 64 in the gallery 32.
  • lifting means 66 can extract the removable bucket 62 full of sediment or cuttings and replace it with an empty bucket 62 which is placed on the frame of the pickling machine 12. This one then returns to the machine of curag 10 and it follows the slow progress of the cleaning machine 10.
  • the conveyor 40 continues to transfer sediments into the hopper 44.
  • the total amount of sediment transferred into the bucket 62 may therefore be that which was in the hopper at the beginning of the increased transfer of the amount of sediment transferred into the hopper during this transfer operation.
  • the pickling machine 12 when the cleaning machine 10 is far from the maximum distance to which it must intervene, with respect to the point of unloading, the journeys made by the pickling machine 12 are relatively small and, outside the periods of back and forth, the picking machine follows the cleaning machine. On the other hand, when the cleaning apparatus 10 is close to the maximum planned sewage treatment distance, the pickling machine 12 remains at the station with the cleaning machine only substantially for the time of carrying out the transfer of the sewage treatment equipment. sediment or excavation of the hopper 44 to the bucket 62 using the conveyor 50.
  • the mobiles constituted by the cleaning machine 10 and the pickling machine 12 may not be self-propelled and be driven by external propulsion means.
  • the cleaning machine 10 and the mariner 12 may be self-propelled but controlled automatically remotely.
  • these second transfer means are mounted on the marinating machine.
  • these second transfer means could consist, for example, of a suction line or a screw system for transferring sediments from the hopper 44 to the bucket 62.
  • the pickling machine 12 can also be used to transport fuel for the cleaning machine 10, personnel, or different maintenance elements of the cleaning machine.
