Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil à tête de ramassage et balai de caniveau ne générant pas de poussières, qui comprend un ventilateur principal d'aspiration d'air ; une tête de ramassage comportant une ouverture inférieure d'aspiration, une sortie d'air chargé de débris, et une entrée d'aspiration de balai de caniveau ; un conduit reliant, dans une relation d'aspiration d'air, le ventilateur principal à la tête de ramassage pour former une tête de ramassage du type à aspiration ou recirculation ; un balai de caniveau ; un logement de balai de caniveau, qui entoure généralement le balai de caniveau, et comporte une ouverture de réception de débris, formée dans ledit logement et permettant au balai de caniveau d'entrer en contact avec les débris, et une sortie d'air permettant l'aspiration de l'air chargé de débris provenant du logement de balai de caniveau ; et un conduit de raccordement de balai de caniveau, qui comporte un orifice d'entrée et un orifice de sortie. L'orifice d'entrée du conduit de raccordement de balai de caniveau est relié, dans une relation de réception d'air, à la sortie du logement de balai de caniveau, et l'orifice de sortie d'air est relié, dans une relation d'apport d'air, à l'orifice d'entrée d'aspiration du balai de caniveau dans la tête de ramassage. La sortie d'air et l'orifice d'entrée d'aspiration du balai de caniveau sont séparées par une distance maximum. L'orifice d'entrée d'aspiration du balai de caniveau est placé de façon adjacente à la première extrémité de la tête de ramassage, ou de façon adjacente à la face avant de la tête de ramassage.
