the invention relates to a supply unit for a cleaning machine that can be connected via at least one flexible hose, and to a cleaning device with such a supply unit.
the components to be driven can be not only the components of the supply unit itself, for example a water pump for conveying water from the water tank to the heating device or the drive of the suction turbine of the suction device, but rather also components of a cleaning machine that can be connected to it.
the otherwise autonomous drive from the cleaning machine (in particular completely) into the Supply unit relocated.
the cleaning machine itself can do without an energy source (for example a fuel tank or a battery) and yet movable components such as drive wheels or brushes can be driven there.
the drives are essentially hydraulic.
a (central) drive motor in particular a diesel internal combustion engine, is provided, the fuel tank of which is arranged in the supply unit.
This internal combustion engine then drives one or more hydraulic pumps, the pressurized hydraulic fluid can then be used in many ways, for example for driving the traction drive of the supply unit, for driving the water pump, the suction turbine, the fan of the heating device or for conveying fuel from the fuel tank in the burner of the heater.
the hydraulic fluid under pressure can be used to drive movable components of the cleaning machine arranged via a flexible hose line via a flexible hydraulic line.
the invention is not limited to an internal combustion engine as the central drive source.
Other drives are also conceivable and possible.
embodiments are particularly preferred in which the supply unit works autonomously, that is to say no further ones from outside Energy supply is required, but vice versa its energy is made available to the cleaning machines.
flexible hose or “pipe” should be seen accordingly. These components not only serve to transport fluids, such as hot water, steam or hydraulic fluid under pressure and dirty water, but the term “flexible hose” or “line” should also be understood to include a multiple hose, for example for supplying hydraulic fluid to

An operating console 11 is arranged on the drawbar 10, via which the essential components of the supply unit can be controlled.
the essential components of the supply unit (apart from the tanks) are combined to form a structural unit, the support frame being constructed from a plurality of carriers which surround an interior space.
the carriers can be formed from profiles, preferably hollow profiles with a rectangular cross section. Overall, the carriers of the support frame 4a advantageously extend along the sides of an imaginary cuboid. The entire support frame 4a together with the components contained therein forms the so-called "power module", which can also be moved separately from the tanks 2, 6 and 7 for assembly or service purposes.
the cleaning machines of the Figures 1a and 1b such control consoles to be able to control functions.
Data can be transmitted either by radio or via lines, not shown.
a flexible hose 13 is provided, which is designed as a hydraulic double hose and can be detachably connected to the supply unit 1 or the connection 14 (plug-in couplings) Cleaning machine according to the Figure 1 is connectable.
the hydraulic fluid contained therein is used to drive movable components, in particular brushes such as those based on Figure 3 will be described in more detail later.
a flexible hose 15 is provided, which for supplying hot water or steam from the supply unit to the cleaning machine according to the Figure 1a serves.
the connections can also be made via detachable plug-in couplings 16.
a dirty water hose 17 which can be detachably connected via plug-in couplings 18. It serves to discharge dirty water to the supply unit.
FIG. 2 shows the supply unit 1 in greater detail on the basis of an exemplary embodiment, the so-called “power module 4” in particular being shown schematically in more detail with its internal structure. Otherwise, the same parts have the same reference numbers as in Figure 1 .
the supply unit 1 has a water tank 2 and a heating device 19 for heating water from the water tank 2.
a water pump 20 in the water line 30 serves to convey water from the water tank 2 to the heating device 19.
the output of the heating device 19 is connected to a hot water and / or steam connection 16.
a hot water and / or steam connection 16 In addition to hot water at almost 100 ° C, superheated steam at higher temperatures (e.g. between 130 ° C and 180 ° C) can also be provided.
a dirty water tank 7 is provided.
This dirty water tank is connected via a dirty water line 21 to a suction device 22, which is used to suck off dirty water from a cleaning machine via a flexible hose that can be connected to the dirty water connection 18 and ultimately to bring it into the dirty water tank 7.
a (central) drive which essentially has a diesel internal combustion engine M and - in the example shown - three hydraulic pumps 23, 24 and 25.
the fuel tank 6 for the internal combustion engine M is part of the supply unit, with which it can work autonomously. This means that it does not need any additional energy supply from the outside, for example via a power cable.
the supply unit, the energy ultimately taken from the fuel can be used to form hot water or steam, to drive components, be it in the supply unit itself or in the cleaning machine connected to it (such as, for example, the brushes according to the cleaning machine in FIG Figure 1a or 3).
the supply unit 1 has wheels 8, of which the rear wheels are driven by a hydraulic motor H.
the hydraulic pump 25 is provided, from which a line leads to the hydraulic motor via a control valve 26.
control lines for the control valve 26 and also the other valves are not shown for the sake of clarity.
An electronic control unit is provided (likewise not shown), which can either be arranged in the supply unit or externally. Ultimately, it is about controlling the valves via electrical control signals. In principle, manual control of the valves is also conceivable and possible.
the drive is designed such that when the valve 26 is closed, a braking function in the sense of a hand brake is achieved. This means that the supply unit is held even at sloping places without the need for an additional brake.
the diesel engine M has an electric starter (not shown) and receives the fuel via the diesel line 26. Its engine power can be regulated via a control device (not shown).
the diesel engine M drives two further hydraulic pumps 23 and 24, which can sit on a common shaft.
the hydraulic pump 23 is used via a control valve 27 to drive the hydraulic fan motor H1 of the suction device 22.
the hydraulic pump 24 serves to supply the external cleaning machine via the hydraulic connection 14. Regulation can take place via the valve 28. At this point it should be mentioned that the oil reservoir is not shown for reasons of clarity. It is indicated schematically by a horizontal U with the reference number 29.
hydraulic motor can be seen very broadly. It also includes pumps that are powered by hydraulic fluid.
the hydraulic drive has the advantage of a small size and a lower weight. Even very powerful components with high performance can be easily controlled.
the Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a hand-held cleaning machine R1 similar to that shown in FIG Figure 1a is shown.
the hand-held cleaning machine R1 has a handle 33 with any control elements (not shown) and a pair of main wheels 34 and support wheels 35.
connection 14 via which a flexible hydraulic line can be connected.
the hydraulic motor H2 which in turn drives a cleaning brush 36 or several coupled brushes, can be driven via this hydraulic line.
the direction of rotation of the cleaning brush 36 or, in the case of several pumps, the direction of rotation of one, several or all of the brushes can be changed by the operator. It is also possible for an electronic control unit to change the direction of rotation of the brushes automatically at predetermined time intervals.
a suitable valve combination can be provided in a hydraulic motor, which simply acts on the hydraulic motor in the opposite direction of rotation on different lines and with pressurized hydraulic oil.
the speed of the brushes is preferably between 50 and 90 revolutions per minute, most preferably in the order of 70 revolutions per minute. It has been shown that in this speed range, especially on the outside of roads or sidewalks, it is possible to remove contaminants adhering to the floor, in particular chewing gum residues.
the steam or hot water can then be applied to the surface to be cleaned at a suitable point.
the steam from the boiler the boiler temperature of which is, for example, 170 ° C., relaxes in the area of the working device to a temperature of before it hits the floor preferably between 90 ° C and 120 ° C, preferably between 92 ° C and 110 ° C. It has been shown that an excellent removal of chewing gum residues is again possible in this temperature range.
both hydraulic drives as in the Figures 1, 1a , 2nd and 3rd and drives with steam or mixtures thereof may be provided.
the invention also relates to the use of a supply unit or a cleaning machine for removing dirt on surfaces located outside, in particular streets and / or sidewalks. Above all, it is possible to remove dirt residues, especially chewing gum residues.
