Robotised device of cleaning of external steel structures

摘要

Robotized cleaning device used on ferromagnetic structures that includes two symmetrical cleaning arms and a caterpillar type tractor device that moves using magnetic soles over the bands of the caterpillar robot; and where the arms are jointly attached to the tractor device via a structural profile and include a cleaning roller, each of them operated by a reduction motor connected to the roller and nozzles.

主权项

1. A robotized cleaning device for use on a ferromagnetic structure, comprising a robot comprising:
two adjacent cleaning units, each of the cleaning units comprising a cleaning roller and a reduction motor, each cleaning roller operable by the respective reduction motor, each of the cleaning units comprising a cover positioned above a respective cleaning roller having a plurality of pipes configured for spraying water and a chemical product through a plurality of spray nozzles arranged in the cover, wherein the chemical product is configured to be sprayed in a concentrated or a dilute form over the ferromagnetic structure; a robot comprising two actuating units, each actuating unit including a caterpillar type tractor device comprising a plurality of belts for moving the robot;
each belt comprising magnetic elements; two actuating unit arms, each actuating unit arm attached to the corresponding actuating unit, wherein each actuating unit arm extends rearwardly past the actuating units and is supported by a respective free rotating wheel at a free end thereof; and two profiles, each profile attached to the corresponding actuating unit and extends forwardly past the actuating units and aligned with the respective actuating unit arm, wherein each profile supports the respective cleaning roller and the respective reduction motor; and the cleaning units are aligned with actuating unit arms, so that when the cleaning units are in an operating position, the actuating unit arms support the weight of the cleaning rollers and facilitate a pushing action of the robot; a ball joint for connecting together the actuating units for transverse rotation of the actuating units and thereby the cleaning units relative to each other; and a longitudinal hinge for connecting together the actuating units such that each actuating unit, and thereby, each cleaning unit, is configured to move transversely and longitudinally relative to the other actuating unit and cleaning unit to provide independent movement of each actuating unit and cleaning unit relative to the other actuating unit and cleaning unit.
