CLEANING STATION FOR CLEANING A CARGO SPACE OF A TRANSPORT DEVICE
A cleaning station for cleaning a cargo space of a transport device, the cleaning station including an inherently stable support frame configured to support a pedestal above a ground; a cleaning robot; a garage, configured to receive the cleaning robot; a fluid supply, configured to supply the cleaning robot with a cleaning fluid; and a control unit, wherein the support frame includes at least one stand element configured to support the support frame on a support plane on the ground, wherein the garage includes an interior space enclosed by a floor, a roof, and side walls, wherein at least one of the side walls of the garage is at least partially configured as an openable space divider element, wherein the cleaning robot is alternatively movable out of the garage or into the garage in an open position of the space divider element.
Tractor Radiator Cleaning Arrangement
A tractor radiator cleaning arrangement is used for cleaning a radiator of a tractor or similar heavy machinery and includes a frame, a connecting arrangement, a manifold, conduits, and an inlet arrangement. The tractor radiator cleaning arrangement is placed behind and aligned with a radiator dispense fluid, such as air, water, or a combination thereof, out of conduits and toward the radiator to clean the radiator of materials clogging a radiator including debris, pollen, dirt, dust, and similar materials.
CLEANING ROBOT FOR CLEANING A LOADING SPACE OF A TRANSPORT DEVICE
A cleaning robot configured to clean a loading space of a transport device, the cleaning robot comprising a frame; a chassis; a cleaning unit arranged at the frame; and a sensor device, wherein the chassis includes two drive tracks drivable independently, wherein the cleaning unit includes a plurality of cleaning nozzles configured to dispense a cleaning fluid, wherein the sensor device includes at least one distance sensor configured to capture information regarding distances of the cleaning robot from side walls arranged opposite to one another and laterally defining the loading space of the transport device and to transmit the information to a data processing device, and wherein the data processing device is configured to process the information and control the chassis as a function of the information, so that the drive tracks are temporarily driven differently, so that the cleaning robot is rotatable about its vertical axis.
AUTOMATED CLEANING UNIT FOR BULK STORAGE AND TRANSPORT CONTAINERS
A cleaning unit configured for cleaning at least one storage container of a bulk transport vehicle, where the cleaning unit includes a chassis having a swivel connection defining a through-hole and a vacuum chamber, an air intake member and a pair of wheels attached to the chassis, where the wheels each include a motor and a vacuum attachment zone, and a processor on the chassis and coupled to the motor of each of the wheels, where a vacuum is generated within the vacuum chamber and in the vacuum attachment zones of the wheels so that the wheels suction and attach to an inner surface of a wall of the at least one storage container and the processor moves the chassis in multiple directions along the inner surface of the wall while the air intake member suctions and removes residual material from the inner surface of the wall.
INTERIOR WINDSHIELD CLEANING ROBOT
A windshield cleaning robot and methods for cleaning vehicle interior windshields. The robot adheres to and traverses the interior surface of a vehicle's windshield. The robot includes a chassis with a suction pad that creates a vacuum seal, allowing the robot to maintain adherence to the windshield at various angles of inclination. A cleaning element, which extends over the bottom surface of the chassis, is used to remove foreign materials from the glass surface. The robot is propelled across the windshield by a propulsion system while remaining adhered to the glass. The robot and methods provide an efficient and thorough cleaning of the windshield, particularly addressing the challenge of reaching lower and far corners which are typically difficult to clean manually.
AIRFLOW SPEED MONITORING SWITCH
An airflow monitoring switch system that includes: a switch having a switch arm that passes through an upper opening of a vacuum line where at least a portion of the switch arm extends through the upper opening of the vacuum line and into an interior of the vacuum line segment; a paddle having a vertical slot running from an uppermost point of the paddle and downwards towards a center point of the paddle; and a first paddle engaging bracket hingedly engaged to the switch arm and the paddle and a second paddle engaging bracket hingedly engaged to the switch arm on an opposite side of the first paddle engaging bracket. The vertical slot has a width that is greater than a width of the switch arm such that when the paddle is in the rotated position the switch arm is at least partially within the vertical slot.
VEHICLE ARCH SYSTEM WITH RELOCATABLE SEPARATOR
A vacuum arch system located at a vehicle treatment facility that provides suction to a vacuum hose used by a user at the vehicle treatment facility to clean an inside of a vehicle of the user. The vacuum arch system has a vertical support pole, an arch arm having a front end and a back end attached to the top of the vertical support pole, at least one vacuum hose, a right side rear bracket and a left side rear bracket, and a separator. The separator may be relocated to either the front end of the arch or the back end of the arch. On the front end, it is connected to the arch by a downwardly extending inlet pipe that hangs below the arch. On the back end, it is connected to the arch by an airflow pipe and the vacuum hose connects to the front end.
Vehicle treatment arch with pressure differential indication system and tool engagement system
A vehicle vacuuming system that includes: a vacuum housing having an air filter, a motor within the interior volume of the vacuum housing wherein the motor supplies air suction power to a vacuum air intake distal from the motor and through a vacuum hose operably engaged with the vacuum housing, and an air outlet proximate the motor; and a pressure notification system chosen from the group consisting of a light, a speaker, a mobile application, and combinations thereof operably connected to a pressure sensing system associated with the vehicle vacuuming system.
Cleaning Tool for a Roof Drain Tube and Method of Use
A cleaning tool for a vehicle roof drain tube includes a flexible line, a handle having first and second ends and an interior channel therebetween, a tube extending from the first end of the handle and terminating at a work end, and a flexible tip on the work end of tube that is configured to abut an entry port of the vehicle drain tube. The flexible line extends from the second end of the handle, though the interior channel and first end of the handle, through the tube, and through the flexible tip. The cleaning tool also includes a clamp on the handle for selectively engaging the flexible line.
Unmanned ground-based hygiene maintenance vehicle and method for improving hygiene conditions
An unmanned ground-based hygiene maintenance vehicle, UGV, includes a housing with a base plate, top plate and housing side wall substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Arranged in the housing is at least one wheel drive coupled to at least one wheel in a recess in the base plate. The UGV includes sensors for sensing the environment of the UGV, and a controller for autonomous location and navigation of the UGV based on sensing parameters of the sensors. The UGV includes an articulated robot arm on the top plate of the housing and to support a hygiene maintenance tool. The UGV includes at least one load-receiving element coupled to the housing side wall and extending outwards from the housing side wall, wherein the load-receiving element includes a load support surface for supporting a hygiene maintenance tool supply module with respect to a vertical direction extending transverse to the base plate.
