Systems, devices, and methods for passing railcar tank cleaning systems through the opening and mounted to existing manways. The invention can extend horizontally more than 25 feet and clean rail cars up to and beyond approximately 102 inches in diameter for manual, automated, or semi-automated programmable railcar tank cleaning systems, devices and methods for providing safe and efficient methods for breaking up oil, tar, chemical, radioactive, hazardous, or any other liquid, solid, or sludge waste inside rail tank cars and the like with nozzles which utilize fluid jets to break up, liquefy, and motivate tank material. The programmable railcar cleaning system can be a standalone, independent unit or integrated into new designs and/or existing systems. Simplified programming and user interface allow an operator to remotely operate the system. The various capabilities of this invention allow cleaning in a quicker and more efficient manner. The system is hydraulically controlled and can work in the presence of flammable vapors and dust.

A vacuum cleaner comprising a connecting device to a thermal control system of a vehicle, a flexible hose with a connection end on the connecting device for creating suction into the flexible hose, and a dust collecting box mounted onto the flexible hose.

A vehicle management system includes a vehicle use situation recognition unit recognizing that a user of a vehicle visits a predetermined area or a predetermined facility by the vehicle based on a position of the vehicle recognized by a vehicle position recognition unit and a vehicle cleaning handling unit transmitting vehicle cleaning information about cleaning of the vehicle to at least either one of a user terminal and a maintenance management server in a case where the vehicle use situation recognition unit recognizes that the user visits the predetermined area or the predetermined facility by the vehicle, the user terminal being used by the user, the maintenance management server managing maintenance of the vehicle.

A cleaning tool utilizes an electrical motor in communication with a power supply secured to a lengthwise adjustable arm secured in turn to a collapsible and foldable cleaning head. The cleaning head comprises a plurality of brush heads perpendicularly secured in a radial array beneath a brush head support plate of the cleaning head. The cleaning tool is particularly suited to clean a cup holder.

The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the interior of the vehicle chassis rail. The chassis cleaning device having a body with a first end spaced apart from a second end with a longitudinal central axis extending through the body. An inlet connector extends from the first end of the body with the inlet connector adapted to connect to a liquid source. An elongate outlet extends from the second end of the body with the elongate outlet fluidly connected to the inlet connector. At least one discharge outlet is aligned adjacent to an end of the elongate outlet and a plurality of magnets are mounted within the second end of the body and equidistantly positioned around the longitudinal central axis. In use, the elongate outlet is inserted through an aperture in a wall of the chassis rail, the plurality of magnets are adapted to releasably couple the body of the chassis cleaner to the chassis rail and when the liquid source is connected to the inlet connector the liquid is expelled through the at least one discharge outlet to clean the interior of the chassis rail.

There is provided a system and method of cleaning surfaces of an interior cabin space of a contamination comprising a microbial and viral load. The method includes the steps of sealing the interior cabin space and placing water, and a solid or gel pack, into a container and generating a vortex the container by rotating an impeller. The agitation causes the solid or gel pack to release a gaseous cleaning agent. An air-borne spray exiting from the container spreads throughout the interior cabin space to coat the surfaces to be cleaned within the interior cabin space. The cabin is maintained closed for an effective time period while the coating from the air-borne spray dwells on the surfaces to eliminate or substantially reduce the load of the contamination.

A cleaning system for washing an internal surface of a container located on a vehicle, the cleaning system comprising an elongate boom with at least one nozzle located at a first end of the boom, a support assembly for supporting the boom, wherein the boom is movable with respect to the support assembly, a controller configured to control movement of the boom, and a vehicle identification system comprising an identification reader configured to identify the vehicle and communicate with the controller, wherein one or more parameters of the vehicle can be stored on or retrieved from the vehicle identification system upon identifying the vehicle, and wherein the boom is configured to extend into the container to wash the internal surface based on the one or more parameters.

Technologies and techniques for automatically cleaning a motor vehicle. A need for cleaning is identified via a control device. A cleaning device is selected and booking a cleaning time in the selected cleaning device is performed, based on at least one criterion. The motor vehicle may be autonomously maneuvered to the selected cleaning device via the control device, such that the motor vehicle reaches the cleaning device, at the booked cleaning time at the latest. The motor vehicle may be autonomously maneuvered to a predefined parking location via the control device, after the cleaning of the motor vehicle has ended, wherein a sensor device of the motor vehicle determines a degree of soiling of the motor vehicle and the control device identifies the need for cleaning on this basis, and/or a user specification of a person relating to the need for cleaning is detected by the control device and the control device identifies the need for cleaning on this basis.

Apparatus and a method for removing particulate matter from an enclosure having an internal space and an opening into the internal space. The apparatus includes: a cover positionable over the opening; an inlet conduit that extends through the cover and is adapted to direct gas from a gas source to a gas outlet within the internal space so that particulate matter within the internal space is dislodged. Gas and entrained particulate matter is drawn from the internal space firstly through an outlet conduit and the particular matter is separated. Concentration of particulate matter in gas leaving the enclosed space is sensed and its value displayed to an operator so that operation can continue until a satisfactory value of the concentration is achieved. The gas outlet may be comprised in an elongate lance that is passed through the cover and can be manipulated by a user. The lance may display data.

A vehicle and a method of managing cleanliness of an interior of the vehicle that are capable of detecting whether the interior of the vehicle has been contaminated and managing detection information. The method of managing the cleanliness of the interior of the vehicle includes detecting indoor contamination using a contamination detector including at least a camera, analyzing indoor cleanliness based on the result of the detecting, and outputting guidance information based on the analyzed indoor cleanliness. The detecting the indoor contamination includes detecting at least one object in an indoor region of the vehicle subjected to contamination detection and detecting whether contamination has occurred in the indoor region subjected to contamination detection other than a region in which the at least one object is detected.
