Device and assembly for cleaning the core engine of a jet engine
A device cleans a core engine of a jet engine. The device has: a nozzle installation configured to introduce a cleaning medium into the core engine; a connector configured to connect the device in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft of a fan of the jet engine; and a line connection configured to supply the cleaning medium, the line connection being connected to the nozzle installation by a rotary coupling. The nozzle installation has first contact faces configured to bear axially on fan blades of the fan, the first contact faces being configured for defined positioning of the nozzle installation relative to the jet engine.
CLEANING DEVICE WITH A REINFORCED GUIDE PROFILE
A device for cleaning surfaces, mobile, in particular for the cleaning of the cooling elements of an exchanger, including a truck for a nozzle-carrier rack, intended to be disposed in a movable manner facing the surface to be cleaned, carrying a nozzle-carrier rack, with one or more nozzles spraying the surface to be cleaned, and a guide system including, on the one hand, at least one guide profile on which the truck for a nozzle-carrier rack moves, acting as a path for the truck during its movement in the direction of the guide profile, and on the other hand, bearing members of the truck moving on the at least one profile, and wherein the at least one guide profile is rigidified by at least one rigidification beam, under elastic tension, rigidly connected in several discrete positions by fastening plates to the guide profile.
Self-contained camera wash system and method
A self-contained, compact camera wash system 1000 for a drone 800 or as an automotive aftermarket kit 1101 uses a pressurized container 1002 similar to a common aerosol can to supply washer fluid to a washer nozzle 1020 via actuable valving. The fluid supply container is small for use with drone cameras (e.g., ˜15 ml in volume) and is readily packaged in a compact assembly. For the automotive aftermarket kit 1101 a larger volume container volume is provided and configured to be easily replaced as needed.
Robotic cleaning apparatus and system
A robotic device for working on a surface includes a body including: a tool for working on the surface; a controller moving the body along the surface; a first set of at least two rotors mounted to the body and generating thrust in a first direction towards the surface; and a second set of at least two rotors mounted to the body and generating thrust in a second direction away from the surface. A sensor measures a distance between the body and the surface, and a computer adjusts the first set of rotors and the second set of rotors in response to the sensor to place the body in position to work on the surface. In particular, the first set of rotors and the second set of rotors generate a net force on the body to it in non-contact position to work on the surface.
SUBSTRATE CLEANING DEVICE
A first cleaner cleans an upper surface of a substrate by scanning above the substrate to pass through a first point in an outer edge of the substrate in a plan view. A second cleaner cleans an outer peripheral end of the substrate by coming into contact with a second point in the outer edge of the substrate in a plan view. A virtual first straight line passing through the first point and the second point and a virtual second straight line passing through a center of the substrate and is parallel to the first straight line are defined. A third cleaner is arranged below the substrate and opposite to the first cleaner and the second cleaner with the second straight line located between the third cleaner, and the first cleaner and the second cleaner, and cleans a lower surface of the substrate.
SUBSTRATE CLEANING DEVICE AND SUBSTRATE CLEANING METHOD
A substrate is held in a horizontal attitude by a substrate holder. At a processing position, a lower surface of the substrate held by the substrate holder is cleaned by a lower-surface brush. The lower-surface brush is cleaned by a brush cleaner at a waiting position that overlaps with the substrate held by the substrate holder in an up-and-down direction and is below a processing position. The lower-surface brush is lifted and lowered by a lower-surface brush lifting-lowering driver between the processing position and the waiting position.
Cleaning Device
A cleaning device includes: a treatment container; a workpiece carrier arranged in the treatment container and configured to hold at least one workpiece; at least one nozzle configured to discharge a cleaning jet directed onto the workpiece carrier and mounted such that the at least one nozzle is moveable on a circulation track about the workpiece carrier and is pivotable about a pivoting axis extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the workpiece carrier; a pivoting device configured to pivot the at least one nozzle; and a controller configured to control a circulating movement of the at least one nozzle on the circulation track and a pivoting movement of the at least one nozzle, such that a specified point on a surface of the workpiece is impacted repeatedly by the cleaning jet at a respectively different angle, within a specified timeframe.
SPRAYING DEVICE FOR A CLEANING MACHINE FOR CLEANING MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND/OR LABORATORY UTENSILS
The invention relates to a spraying device, a cleaning machine for cleaning medical, pharmaceutical and/or laboratory utensils, a retrofitting device for retrofitting a hydraulic spraying device and a method for cleaning medical, pharmaceutical and/or laboratory utensils. At least one washing arm (3, 3a) is rotatably arranged on an axle (4) and can be supplied with cleaning fluid from a cleaning fluid supply line (5) in the axle (4). The washing arm (3, 3a) is provided with outlet openings (6) from which jets of cleaning fluid can be directed onto the utensils (8). The spraying device (2) has a drive device (9) for actively driving the washing arm (3, 3a). The drive device (9) comprises a turbine (11) which is in operative connection with the washing arm (3, 3a) in such a way that a rotation of the turbine (11) leads to a rotation of the washing arm (3, 3a). The drive device (9) also has a drive fluid line (10, 10a) separate from the cleaning fluid supply line (5). The turbine (11) can be driven by a drive fluid flowing out of the separate drive fluid line (10, 10a).
Vehicle sensor cleaning systems
Systems, devices, and methods for cleaning a sensor are provided. A sensor can include a housing. The housing can include a curved lens. The sensor can further include an inlet configured to receive a pressurized fluid. The sensor can further include a rotatable fluid distributor positioned within the housing. The rotatable fluid distributor can be configured to receive the pressurized fluid from the inlet. The sensor can further include a plurality of nozzles positioned around an exterior of the housing. Each of the plurality of nozzles can be configured to direct a flow of the pressurized fluid onto at least a portion of the curved lens. When the pressurized fluid is provided to the inlet, the rotatable fluid distributor can be configured to receive the pressurized fluid from the inlet and distribute the pressurized fluid to only a subset of the plurality of nozzles at any time.
OPTICAL WINDOW CLEANING DEVICE, OPTICAL WINDOW CLEANING METHOD AND UNDERWATER OPTICAL DEVICE
Disclosed is an optical window cleaning device, including: a cleaning brush; and a wiper arm. The wiper arm includes a first link, a torsion mechanism, a second link and a wiper arm drive system. A second end of the first link is hinged to a first end of the second link. The cleaning brush is hinged to a first end of the first link, a rotation trajectory of the cleaning brush and a rotation trajectory of a hinge joint between the second end of the first link and the first end of the second link are both located in a first plane. A rotation trajectory of the second link and the rotation trajectory of the hinge joint are located in the first plane. The torsion mechanism provides the first link and the second link with a force that rotates the first link relative to the second link.
