Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning device for dry cleaning a tunnel, comprising a feed device for feeding an air flow to a surface to be cleaned, the feed device comprising an outlet opening through which the air flow exits the feed device.
  • the cleaning device further comprises a discharge device comprising at least one discharge pipe with a free end for extracting dirt or waste from the surface with the free end in a first direction.
  • the lanes of road and rail vehicles must be maintained regularly. This also includes cleaning the lanes. Maintaining lanes in rail vehicles includes, for example, regular grinding of the rails in order to prevent material fatigue caused by running surface defects. Such work creates a lot of fine dust and dirt, which is deposited in the rail bed and in the banquet of the road.
  • the cleaning vehicle includes a cleaning head that can be positioned over the road.
  • a cleaning head contains water nozzles that generate a water jet directed at the surface to be cleaned. Dirt and water are sucked up with a suction shoe and directed into a dirt container on the cleaning vehicle.
  • Another type of cleaning is dry cleaning. With this, the cleaning is not done with a liquid but only with air. This has the advantage that the devices in the tunnel are acted on in a mechanically more gentle manner and corrosion damage due to the moisture introduced is avoided.
  • Such a cleaning device mounted on a rail vehicle comprises a plurality of arms which project from the rail vehicle and point towards the tunnel walls.
  • a suction shoe is arranged at the respective outer ends of the arms in order to suck off the dirt from the tunnel walls and the tunnel ceiling.
  • the arms are adjustable in length, so that obstacles on the walls and ceiling can be avoided while driving by moving the arms towards the vehicle.
  • the rail vehicle also includes a further cleaning unit for cleaning the ballast next to the rails.
  • a suction pipe with a rectangular suction shoe can be lowered next to the rails towards the ballast.
  • the surface to be cleaned is blown off with compressed air.
  • Another cleaning device describes the EP0 887 470 A1 (Schörling-Brock GmbH).
  • This discloses a rail vehicle with a device for cleaning grooves in rails.
  • the device comprises a suction shoe that is moved a short distance above the rail.
  • a rotating brush is located close to the rear end of the suction shoe in the direction of travel to loosen the hard dirt in the groove.
  • the direction of rotation of the brush is opposite to the direction of travel, so that the dirt loosened by the brush is thrown in the direction of the suction shoe.
  • the brush and nozzle are adjustable in the direction perpendicular to the groove. This allows the brush and nozzle to be raised when cleaning switches.
  • Another cleaning device discloses the EP 2 635 614 A2 , which has the features of the preamble of claim 1 (Rodinia Technologies). It describes a device arranged on a rail vehicle for cleaning wall and floor surfaces, in particular in tunnels. Several such devices are arranged on the rail vehicle in such a way that the entire tunnel profile including the track superstructure can be detected.
  • the devices comprise a plurality of air nozzles for compressed air arranged on a common receptacle and a suction opening of a suction hood designed as a suction mouth; the air nozzles are directed obliquely at the surface to be cleaned. The angle of the air nozzles to the surface is adjustable. The same applies to the distance.
  • Sensors and a controller can be provided, in particular to automatically adjust the suction opening (and thus the nozzles) vertically in order to avoid a collision with obstacles.
  • the suction power is also adjustable, especially to avoid the provision of an unnecessarily high suction power.
  • Such known cleaning devices have a suction shoe with a relatively large cross-sectional area, which covers half or even the entire width of the track with the two tracks. This means that dirt can be sucked in in one pass over a relatively large area.
  • suction shoes are not very efficient. If thorough cleaning is to be achieved, i.e. as much as possible and, in particular, dust that is deeply buried in the gravel or underground, a very high suction power of several thousand kilowatts is required. A suction fan that provides such a performance generates a lot of heat. However, a large amount of heat in tunnels is problematic: It creates a fire hazard, can damage the infrastructure in the tunnel and worsens working conditions for workers and operating personnel in the tunnel.
  • An active lifting of the suction opening based on sensor signals is complex and leads to the fact that in the obstacle area, due to the increased distance from the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning takes place only partially or is omitted entirely.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cleaning device belonging to the technical field mentioned at the outset which enables an efficient and at the same time thorough cleaning of a tunnel.
  • the feed device is arranged such that the air flow from the outlet opening in a second direction to the opening of the free end of the discharge pipe emerges from the feed device and strikes the surface, the first direction being at an angle between 45 ° and 80 ° , in particular at an angle between 60 ° and 70 °, is aligned with the second direction.
  • dry cleaning means cleaning with air or another gas, but essentially without the use of a liquid.
  • a gas is used to loosen the dirt from the surface, but a gas.
  • This statement refers to the loosening and collecting of dirt and waste. Even if a liquid is added to the collected dirt and waste in a later step, it is dry cleaning as long as essentially no liquid is applied to the surface to be cleaned.
  • surface includes not only the very top layer, but also areas that are immediately below the top layer.
  • a loose subsoil such as a ballast or gravel bed
  • the term surface also encompasses a lower-lying layer in the ballast or gravel bed spaced apart from an uppermost layer.
  • dirt and “waste” include all substances that do not belong to the road infrastructure and that are not intended to remain in the area of the road. These include, for example, dust, soot, lubricants, defective parts, clothing, food, packaging materials such as beverage bottles and plastic bags, plants, pests and insects.
  • the discharge pipe can basically have any cross section.
  • the discharge pipe can have a circular, oval, rectangular or cross-section with several corners.
  • the feed device preferably comprises a feed tube. This can also have any cross section, such as a circular, oval, rectangular or polygonal cross section.
  • dirt or waste is sucked off the surface in a first direction with the free end of the discharge pipe.
  • the first direction essentially corresponds to a longitudinal axis of the discharge pipe in the region of the free end of the discharge pipe.
  • the air flow exits the outlet opening in a second direction towards the opening of the free end of the discharge pipe from the supply device onto the surface.
  • the second direction is thus defined by the points that lie in the spatial center of the air jet, which is located between the outlet opening and the surface.
  • the expression "towards the opening of the free end of the discharge pipe” means that a first distance between the center of the outlet opening and the center of the cross-sectional area of the opening in the free end of the discharge pipe is greater than a second distance between the central point of impact of the air jet on the surface and the center of the cross-sectional area of the opening in the free end of the discharge pipe.
  • the air jet thus runs in the direction of the opening of the free end of the discharge pipe.
  • the claimed angle between the first direction and the second direction corresponds to the smallest angle between these two directions.
  • the feed device is preferably designed to be arranged adjacent to the discharge pipe. This allows the air jet to be guided particularly close to the discharge pipe. The dirt and dust loosened and whirled up by the air jet can therefore be sucked up particularly well from the discharge pipe.
  • the distance between the center of the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening of the feed device and the center of the cross-sectional area of the opening of the free end of the discharge pipe is preferably less than 0.5 m, preferably less than 0.3 m.
  • the discharge pipe is preferably arranged such that it can be guided as close to the surface as possible.
  • the feed device is preferably arranged so that it can be guided as close to the surface as possible.
  • the cleaning device is preferably designed to clean a roadway and an area next to the roadway as well as the tunnel walls and possibly also the tunnel ceiling.
  • the cleaning device comprises several Cleaning units, preferably at least one for the roadway, at least one for the floor next to the roadway and at least one for the tunnel walls. These cleaning units or at least one or more of them include a feed device and a discharge device according to claim 1.
  • the discharge device comprises a plurality of discharge pipes for suction, preferably at least 10 discharge pipes per meter, particularly preferably at least 20 discharge pipes per meter. This means that the suction surface for sucking in dirt and waste can be increased, while a high suction capacity is guaranteed for each pipe. This enables the surface to be cleaned efficiently.
  • the discharge pipes are arranged in a row next to each other.
  • the discharge pipes are preferably arranged next to one another, so that the discharge pipes abut one another and touch one another. With this arrangement, a particularly efficient cleaning of the surface can be achieved.
  • the cleaning device is mounted on a vehicle, the discharge pipes are preferably arranged in a row next to one another in a direction transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
  • the discharge pipes are at a mutual distance from one another which preferably does not exceed 10 cm, particularly preferably 5 cm.
  • the discharge pipes comprise an end element at an end of the discharge pipe directed towards the cleaning surface, the end element being movable relative to the feed device.
  • the opening for sucking off dirt or waste is preferably located at the free end of the end element.
  • the end element can be pivoted, linearly displaceable and / or rotatable relative to the feed device, for example.
  • the opening can be positioned relative to the surface to be cleaned so that as much dirt and waste as possible can be sucked up.
  • the end element can also be optimally positioned in relation to the feed device, so that the loosened dirt and whirled up by the air flow can be sucked up as efficiently as possible through the opening in the end element.
  • the end element is preferably made of a rigid material such as sheet metal or the like. As a result, the opening at the free end keeps its shape, so that a reliable suction of the dirt from the surface is made possible.
  • the end element of a first discharge pipe of the plurality of discharge pipes is movable relative to an end element of a second discharge pipe of the plurality of discharge pipes.
  • the cleaning device can be tailored precisely to the surface to be cleaned. For example, several individual discharge pipes can be raised or positioned at an angle to the surface in order to achieve better cleaning.
  • this adjustability means that recesses and depressions in the surface to be cleaned can also be sucked off by positioning one or more individual discharge pipes in the depression. This enables efficient and thorough cleaning to be achieved even on uneven surfaces.
  • Each end element is preferably movable independently of the other end elements. This enables the greatest possible flexibility when adjusting the discharge pipes.
  • the end elements of a cleaning device for a substantially horizontal surface e.g. B. a rail bed or a banquet, adjustable in the vertical direction.
  • a cleaning device for a substantially horizontal surface e.g. B. a rail bed or a banquet
  • the free ends of the end elements can be positioned relative to the surface to be cleaned in a simple manner.
  • the maximum adjustability of a first end element relative to a second end element is preferably at least 20 cm, preferably between 25 cm and 30 cm, in the vertical direction. With such an adjustability, the cleaning device can be adapted as best as possible to obstacles or depressions in the surface.
  • the discharge pipe preferably has an inside diameter of 5 to 30 cm, preferably an inside diameter of 8 to 20 cm. Such a diameter allows a sufficiently large suction surface and still a flexible use of the discharge pipe.
  • the discharge pipe is small enough, for example, to be lowered between rails in a switch or into a recess. This means that even corners or narrow areas can still be cleaned thoroughly. Nevertheless, this size of the inner diameter enables efficient suction, since the cross-section of the discharge pipe is also large enough to not only pick up dust but also larger objects such as packaging or plastic beverage bottles.
  • the discharge pipe preferably comprises a flexible area in the suction direction after the end element and a rigid area adjoining the flexible area, so that the end element can be pivoted relative to the rigid area of the discharge pipe.
  • the flexible area enables the end element to be pushed out of its position for a short time, for example by an obstacle, when the discharge pipes are moved along the surface during cleaning. This can prevent the end elements of the discharge pipes from being damaged, and a good cleaning result can be achieved even without active control by setting a small distance between the discharge pipes and the surface to be cleaned and the discharge pipes if necessary due to the mechanical contact between the End elements and the surface to be cleaned are moved away.
  • the end elements are made of a robust material so that they are not damaged by the mechanical contact.
  • the feed device preferably comprises a plurality of feed tubes for feeding the air flow.
  • the air flow can be supplied to the surface to be cleaned in a simple manner.
  • a first feed tube is preferably arranged on a first side next to the discharge tube and a second feed tube is arranged on a second side of the discharge tube opposite the first side. This allows the dirt or dust to be blown from two sides towards the discharge pipe. If the cleaning device is moved relative to the surface and the feed pipes are arranged in front of and behind the discharge pipe in the direction of movement, the dirt can first be detached from the surface by a first air stream from a first feed pipe and then the remaining dirt from the second air stream from the second Feed pipe are detected and blown towards the discharge pipe. This enables particularly thorough cleaning.
  • the first side lies next to the discharge device on which the first feed pipe is arranged, in the direction of travel of the vehicle behind the discharge pipe, while the second side of the discharge device on which the second feed pipe is arranged lies opposite the first side Direction of travel is in front of the discharge pipe.
  • a third feed tube is preferably arranged on a third side next to the discharge tube and a fourth feed tube is arranged on a fourth side opposite the third side. This allows the dirt to be blown from four sides towards the discharge pipe. This increases the area of the surface that is captured by the cleaning device.
  • the third and fourth sides with respect to the discharge pipe each lie transversely to the direction of travel of the rail vehicle.
  • the feed device can also have only one feed tube.
  • the feed device can also comprise no feed tube at all. In this case, the air flow is led directly from an air pressure source to the surface through an outlet opening.
  • a brush is preferably arranged in an end region of the discharge pipe for brushing off the surface to be cleaned.
  • the end region of the discharge pipe is the region of the discharge pipe facing the surface to be cleaned.
  • the brush is a roller brush.
  • the roller brush preferably comprises a rigid core and elastic bristles arranged around the core. The use of a roller brush enables the surface to be brushed off easily, in particular if the cleaning device is mounted on a vehicle and the discharge pipes are moved along the surface.
  • the brush comprises a plurality of bristles which are arranged in a stationary manner on the discharge pipe and, for example, enclose the opening of the discharge pipe on at least 3 sides (ie over an angle of 270 °).
  • the dust can be mechanically detached from the surface in the direction of travel, on the other hand, there is a flexible limitation of the air duct to the discharge pipe.
  • the cleaning device preferably forms part of a cleaning module, which also comprises a compressed air source for generating an air pressure in the supply device, a suction device for generating a negative pressure in the discharge device and a container for receiving the extracted dirt and waste.
  • the compressed air source advantageously generates an air pressure in the supply device of at least 400,000 Pa (4 bar), preferably of at least 550,000 Pa (5.5 bar).
  • the volume flow generated by the compressed air source for the feed device is preferably between 2,000 m 3 / h and 8,000 m 3 / h.
  • the effective total volume flow at the outlet openings of the feed device will be somewhat lower due to the action of the feed lines.
  • the suction power generated by the suction device for the discharge device is preferably between 20,000 m 3 / h and 60,000 m 3 / h.
  • the effective total suction power due to filters and other elements, the discharge pipes of the discharge device will be slightly smaller.
  • the cleaning module comprises a chamber, formed by four side walls and a cover, at least one lower end region of the discharge device and one lower end region of the feed device being enclosed by the chamber, a pressure which can be generated in the chamber being lower than the atmospheric pressure.
  • the chamber does not have to be hermetically sealed, but only enables a vacuum to be generated using a suitable suction device. Values of the negative pressure of 40,000 Pa or more can advantageously be achieved in such a chamber.
  • the chamber can be formed, for example, by a wall running around the side with flexible aprons and a cover. Accordingly, “enclosed by the chamber” means that there is an element in the space which is delimited by the four side walls, the lid and the surface to be cleaned. With the help of the chamber, it can be ensured that in the effective area of the same, detached and possibly whirled up dirt is not transported to other areas.
  • the cleaning module comprises a detection device for detecting obstacles, an evaluation unit and a drive for adjusting the discharge device in the vertical direction relative to the feed device.
  • the detection device is designed to send signals to the evaluation unit and the evaluation unit is designed to control the drive as a function of the signals.
  • the drive preferably enables the adjustment of individual discharge pipes (or small groups of such discharge pipes) of the discharge device, so that lifting can only take place directly in the area of an obstacle, while suction continues unchanged in other areas.
  • the discharge device can also be controlled as a function of the signals from the detection device.
  • the detection device can be based on different principles and combine several detection principles with one another. These include optical detection by means of cameras, ultrasound sensors, radar sensors, inductive sensors, etc. It is also conceivable to use mechanical sensors that include sensors, as well as force sensors that determine the effects on the sensors.
  • the cleaning module according to the invention is used in particular on a rail vehicle.
  • the cleaning module or the cleaning device are particularly well suited for cleaning rail tunnels, in particular the rails, the rail bed, the banquet and the tunnel wall, in the dry cleaning process.
  • the rail vehicle advantageously has at least four wheels, each with a tread, the free end of the discharge pipe being able to be lowered at least 15 cm, preferably at least 30 cm, in the vertical direction beyond the lowest point on the tread of a wheel, so that the free end is positioned just above the surface to be cleaned. This enables thorough cleaning of the rail bed between the rails and outside the rails.
  • the feed device is preferably arranged and designed such that the free end of the feed device can be lowered by up to 10 cm, preferably up to 5 cm, to a surface on which the rail of the rail vehicle rests.
  • the feed device and the discharge pipes are displaceable relative to the vehicle in the transverse direction to the direction of travel of the vehicle. This enables adaptation to the geometry of the system to be cleaned. An adjustment in the transverse direction may be necessary in particular if different traces of multi-lane tunnels are cleaned.
  • the discharge pipes and / or the feed pipes are divided into two or more groups, which can be moved individually in the transverse direction. If the arrangement is not overlapping, the working area is at a maximum, while it is reduced if the arrangement overlaps in the transverse direction.
  • At least one discharge pipe is moved by a plurality of discharge pipes of the discharge device during cleaning of the tunnel in a direction different from the longitudinal axis of the tunnel relative to the surface and relative to a further one of the discharge pipes.
  • the movement can take place through a direct mechanical interaction between the discharge pipe (in particular an end element of the discharge pipe) and elements of the device to be cleaned and / or actively controlled on the basis of sensor data.
