Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hose guide for a sewer inspection and / or maintenance system for deflecting leading to an inspection and / or maintenance device hose from a shaft into a channel, wherein between an arranged outside the shaft control device and located in the channel inspection and / or maintenance device a wireless communication link can be established.
  • Inspection and / or maintenance system for inspection and / or maintenance of pipes or channels are known from the prior art.
  • a high-pressure hose is transported via a shaft (inspection shaft) into a channel branching from the shaft.
  • the hose can for example be pulled by a trolley in the channel.
  • a rinsing nozzle may be arranged at the front end of the hose.
  • an image pickup device such as a video camera.
  • the image data is then transmitted to an outside of the shaft control device, wherein the transmission can be done wirelessly.
  • deflection rollers may be arranged, for example, in order to avoid damaging the hose during deflection.
  • a deflecting mirror on the bottom of the shaft.
  • both the pulleys and the deflection mirror are designed as separate units and must be introduced separately from each other in the shaft.
  • care must be taken that, on the one hand, the deflecting mirror is not covered by the hose and / or by the deflection rollers.
  • the hose, the deflection rollers or other foreign objects located in the channel do not damage the deflection mirror.
  • it must be ensured that the deflection mirror is correctly aligned. It may therefore happen that the wireless communication link between the carriage and the control device is interrupted frequently, so that a complete monitoring of cleaning success during the cleaning process is not guaranteed.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide solutions that allow on the one hand a deflection of a tube from a shaft into a channel and at the same time a largely uninterrupted wireless data transmission between an arranged in the channel inspection and / or maintenance device and an outside of the shaft Control device is ensured.
  • this object is achieved with a hose guide for deflecting a hose leading to an inspection and / or maintenance device from a shaft into a channel and with an inspection and / or maintenance system according to the independent claims.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims.
  • the guide device has a predetermined radius of curvature such that a rear portion of the guide device protrudes into the shaft, wherein the transceiver module can be arranged at the rear end or at the rear portion of the guide device.
  • the transmitting / receiving device is designed in two parts and consists of the transmitting / receiving module and the antenna device remote therefrom.
  • the signal transmitted by the inspection and / or maintenance device can be received via the antenna device projecting into the channel, or a signal can be sent to the inspection and / or maintenance device.
  • the received signal is forwarded to the transmitting / receiving module projecting into the slot.
  • the signal received via the antenna device can then be sent out through the shaft to the control device.
  • the transmitter / receiver module arranged in the shaft can receive a signal from the control device and send it to the inspection and / or maintenance device via the antenna device projecting in the channel.
  • the transmitting / receiving module and the antenna device can be electrically coupled to one another via one or more cables, wherein the cables are guided in a cable guide along the guide device from the front section to the rear section of the guide device. With the cable guide, the cables can be protected against external mechanical influences.
