Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cleaning roadside posts, socalled shoulder posts, i.e. free-standing, vertical posts distributed along roadsides in order to mark the same, by means of a motor vehicle during the uninterrupted forwardly running thereof and by means of a pair of cooperating, rotary, driven brushes having substantially parallel rotational axes, supplied with washing liquid from a washing liquid ⁇ upply, which may be carried by the motor vehicle, and wherein the effective, vertical extent of each brush i ⁇ shorter than the height of at least some shoulder posts, which may have mutually differing heights above the ground.
  • the invention comprises an apparatus for cleaning shoulder posts.
  • the cleaning apparatus is designed and adapted to be mounted onto a motor vehicle, along one (the right hand) longitudinal side thereof, in the position of use positioned outside the same, as well as being adjustable through displacement in the lateral direction of the motor vehicle.
  • the cleaning apparatus comprises a working head in the form of a carriage carrying cleaning means in the form of a pair of cooperating, rotary, driven brushes having substantially parallel rotational axes, the area within which the brushe ⁇ are situated being assigned an outlet from a washing liquid supply, for supplying washing liquid to the rotary brushes when they act on and clean a shoulder post.
  • the individual shoulder posts may
  • edges/shoulders of more important roads are marked by means of shoulder posts distributed with relatively equal spaces along the shoulder of the road surface, in order to mark the outer edge of the road surface for the road-users, the directional feeling and safety thereof being improved thereby.
  • the road-user's visual co prehesion of the width of the road and the location of the outer edges, particularly at the right hand side are of great importance.
  • Correctly positioned and well visible shoulder posts improve the road-user's road feeling when driving through curves.
  • shoulder posts are white as well as provided with reflector means.
  • a shoulder post washer of this kind is disclosed in MULAG's catalogue, MULAG-Arbeitsgerate im Ganz grieves- irritable f ⁇ r FME 400/500 und ME 700 Mahgerat (MULAG's working implements as used through the whole year for FME 400/500 and ME 700 reaper implement) , illustrating and describing a cleaning apparatus for cleaning shoulder posts and road signs, and wherein the brushes have been suspended from the outer end of an articulated boom work mounted on a motor vehicle.
  • German application laid open to the public, DE 39 18 199 Al discloses a cleaning apparatus for cleaning shoulder posts.
  • Long brushes are not preferable, as relatively short, stout brushes with less tendency to bending and other deformations due to external forces would be far more advantageous.
  • the sloping position of the brush axes in this known cleaning apparatus is directed upwardly in a rearward direction, and must be considered as disadvantegous, because it reduces the choice possibilities with respect to the orientation of the brush axes in relation to horizontal, horizontal orientation of these rotational axes probably being the most advantageous for the cleaning result, particularly when cleaning hard and stuck mud and dirt, e.g. in connection with soft, bendable, flexible brush bristles which are hurled out into radially directed, operative working positions upon rotation of the respective brush.
  • the object of the present invention has been to eliminate or to a substantial degree reduce deficiencies, disadvantages and limitations of use associated with known and conventional technique.
  • the brush pair Upon its immediate contact with a shoulder post, e.g. in that the brushes from opposite sides surround the shoulder post, through a mechanical or electronic sensor coupled to a drive device, the brush pair will be put into motion rearwardly in a direction slopingly upwards from a lower starting position, in which the brush pair starts the cleaning of said shoulder post at the lower portion thereof, continuing making the shoulder post clean at a successively increasing level, to terminate the cleaning of the shoulder post at the top thereof.
  • This takes place while the motor vehicle drives forwardly using a predetermined speed, and the rearward, upwardly sloping displacement of the brush pair is allotted a speed, the horizontal component thereof being adjusted such that it substantially corresponds to the propulsion speed of the motor vehicle.
  • the brush pair will be substantially “stationary” in relation to the stationary shoulder post during the slopingly upwardly directed displacement of the brush pair in relation to the shoulder post.
  • the brush pair is moved down again to the lower starting position thereof.
  • the shoulder post has been cleaned along the major part of its length (height), i.e. from the lower portion thereof a distance above the ground where the cleaning started and straight up to the top.
  • a cleaning apparatus comprises a carriage or another working head carrying the brush pair exhibiting horizontal rotational axes, said carriage directly or through a slide or the like being assigned a rearwardly directed, upwardly sloping guide path in the form of a slide rail.
  • a rearwardly directed, upwardly sloping movement of carriage with brush pair with a speed synchronized with the propulsion speed of the motor vehicle (where the horizontal component of the carriage's rearwardly directed, upwardly sloping motion speed approximately corresponds to the propulsion speed) is adapted to be released as known per se by means of a sensor or the like when the brush pair occupies a lower starting position in the immediate proximity of the lower portion of a shoulder post.
  • the carriage may be disposed on rolling bearings and be slideably mounted on the slide rail.
  • the remaining suspension of the brush pair should allow e.g. sensor-controlled, automatic lateral adjustment, in that the brush pair in respect to the positioning of the shoulder post, e.g. by means of a hydraulic motor, can be brought somewhat out in order to take up minor displacements upon the execu ⁇ tion of work in curves and at poor road shoulders which may bring the motor vehicle somewhat out of normal, approximately horizontal position.
  • Figure 1 shows a side elevational view of an apparatus for cleaning shoulder posts, said cleaning apparatus being coupled to a motor vehicle where it extends along the right hand longitudinal side of the motor vehicle, and where the brush pair thereof takes its starting position adjacent a free-standing, upright shoulder post, approximately at the same level as the shoulder post's lower portion of one third length (cleaning the portion of the shoulder post immediately above the ground is not too important) ;
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view showing cleaning apparatus, motor vehicle and shoulder post.
  • Brush pairs having brushes 1 rotating towards each other and wherein the rotation is adapted to be started immediately prior to the start of a cleaning operation and which is brought to a conclusion when the cleaning operation has been completed, and where washing liquid is supplied to the working area of the brushes during the rotation thereof and, possibly, where pressurized washing liquid supply may drive the rotational means for the brushes, etc. are well known techniques and, thus, not further described here.
  • sensors adapted to react upon parts being brought into contact, into engagement or into adjacent positions and, thus, activate drive means are known per se in a large number of designs and embodiments. Similar sensors adapted to react upon parts being brought out of contact, out of engage ⁇ ment or to relative positions having a larger spacing there ⁇ between, also belong to in per se well known technique.
  • the cleaning apparatus according to the invention is pro ⁇ vided with a working head in the form of a carriage 1' car ⁇ rying a rotating device for a pair of cooperating, driven brushes 1 rotating towards each other.
  • Carriage 1' with brush pair 1 is displaceably disposed on a rearwardly directed, upwardly sloping guide path in the form of a slide rail 2, which can be adjustably disposed in the lateral direction by means of two lateral, hydraulic piston cylinders 3, 3' mounted on a motor vehicle 3" which, thus, carries the cleaning apparatus 1' ,1,2.
  • Reference numeral 4 denotes a free-standing, upright shoulder post.
  • the brush pair 1 is supplied with washing liquid from a tank 5 placed on the motor vehicle 3", together with a hydraulic drive aggregate 6 for operating oil motors, i.a. a hydraulic motor 7 for displacing carriage 1' with brush pair 1, through e.g. a tooth belt fraction, up and down along the slide rail 2 extending rearwardly in an upwardly sloping direction.
  • a hydraulic drive aggregate 6 for operating oil motors i.a. a hydraulic motor 7 for displacing carriage 1' with brush pair 1, through e.g. a tooth belt fraction, up and down along the slide rail 2 extending rearwardly in an upwardly sloping direction.
  • the upper end of the slide rail 2 is situated at a taller level than the top of the shoulder posts which empirically are located at the highest level above the ground, so that the shoulder post 4 is cleaned from the lower starting place for the brushes 1 and completely up to the top at the moment the engagement between post 4 and brush pair 1 ceases, whereafter carriage 1' with brush pair l, as previously mentioned, become displaced again to said lower starting position, approximately corresponding to figure 1.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un procédé de nettoyage des bornes routières libres (4) d'accotements au moyen d'un véhicule automobile (3') en mouvement continu, et au moyen d'une paire de brosses (1). Une glissière (2) longitudinale et inclinée, qui s'élève en pente depuis l'arrière du véhicule, est fixée audit véhicule (3'). La paire de brosses (1) est montée mobile sur la glissière (2) et elle est déplacée vers l'arrière de manière synchrone à la vitesse de propulsion du véhicule, puis ramenée en position de départ après achèvement d'une opération de nettoyage. Un capteur, en contact avec la partie inférieure d'une borne d'accotement (4), sert à activer la rotation des brosses et permet l'alimentation en liquide de lavage à partir d'un réservoir (5) placé sur le véhicule. Le procédé est fondé sur le fait que, lors d'un déplacement continu vers l'avant du véhicule, dans un mouvement intégré (interactif), la paire de brosses (1) est ramenée successivement vers l'arrière et vers le haut jusqu'à ce qu'elle dépasse la partie supérieure de la borne d'accotement (4) et jusqu'à ce qu'elle se trouve ainsi dégagée de tout contact avec ladite borne.
