DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REMOVING DIRT FROM A FLOOR

摘要

A device for removing dirt from a floor, for example the floor of a stall, which device comprises a carrier frame (2) which is moveable over the floor, a motor which is mounted on the carrier frame, and a rotating body (8) which is rotatable in one direction of rotation about a first substantially horizontal rotation axis (11) and is connected with the carrier frame. The rotating body can be driven by the motor. Several shovel-holders (9) for shovelling the dirt from the floor are mounted on the rotating body spaced apart from each other in the peripheral direction. The shovel-holders on rotation of the rotating body move along a path which runs at least partly along the floor. The shovel-holders each comprise an open end which is substantially oriented in the rotation direction of the rotating body. A sweeper device for sweeping the dirt in each case out of one of the shovel-holders on rotation of the rotating body is arranged along the path of the shovel-holders on the carrier frame at a position which is substantially stationary in relation to the carrier frame. The sweeper device is fitted with a sweeper element which, on rotation of the rotating body, moves between the shovel-holders and in each case sweeps through one of the shovel-holders in order to sweep out at least a quantity of the dirt therefrom.
