Definitions
- the invention relates to a washing brush for cleaning objects, with a rotatably mounted brush head which can be driven via a gear by a drive wheel which can be pressurized with cleaning liquid under pressure.
- Such a washing brush is known from US-A-4,461,052. It is used to clean an object, in particular a motor vehicle. With their help, a cleaning liquid, preferably water, to which a chemical can be added to increase the cleaning effect, can be applied to the surface to be cleaned, and at the same time the surface can be wiped mechanically by means of the rotatable brush head.
- the washing brush is used as an accessory for high-pressure cleaning devices, with the help of which the cleaning liquid can be pressurized. The cleaning fluid under pressure is fed to the washing brush and directed onto the drive wheel so that it is set in rotation, whereby the rotary movement can be transmitted to the brush head via the gear.
- the cited document US-A-4 461 052 describes a washing brush in which a planetary gear is used with a sun gear driven by the drive wheel, a rotatable internal gear connected to the brush head and at least one planet gear meshing with the sun gear and the internal gear ,
- the planetary gear allows a reduction in the speed of the turbine wheel, so that the speed of the Brush head is less than the speed of the drive wheel set in rotation by the pressurized cleaning fluid.
- the rotating brush head can be provided with a high torque so that the user can press the washing brush against the surface to be cleaned without the risk of the rotary movement of the brush head being interrupted.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a washing brush of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a higher torque can be provided to the brush head at a low speed.
- the gear comprises two coaxially aligned, internally toothed ring gears, one of the ring gears being rotatably mounted and the other ring gear being stationary, and at least one in operative connection with the anti-friction wheel , externally toothed coupling element combs simultaneously with both ring gears and the two ring gears have a different number of teeth.
- a gear is used in the washing brush, which has two internally toothed ring gears, on which the at least one coupling element rolls simultaneously.
- a first ring gear is arranged in a stationary manner, and a second ring gear is rotatably mounted coaxially to form the first ring gear.
- the two ring gears differ in the number of their teeth. Since the at least one coupling element meshes with both ring gears at the same time, one occurs due to the difference in the number of teeth Rotation of the coupling element to a relative movement of the two ring gears.
- the rotatable ring gear thus executes a rotary movement which can be transmitted to the brush head. It has been shown that large reductions can be achieved thereby, while a high torque can be transmitted to the brush head.
- the operative connection between the drive wheel and the coupling element can be designed in a variety of ways.
- the coupling element can be designed as a gearwheel which is held on the drive wheel in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the coupling element is operatively connected to the drive wheel via an intermediate gear.
- the at least one coupling element is designed as a planet gear that meshes with a sun gear driven by the drive gear and with the two ring gears.
- a first reduction is achieved by using the planetary gear with a sun gear and at least one planet gear, and a further reduction is achieved by using the two ring gears, which differ in the number of teeth.
- Planetary gears with a fixed and a rotatable ring gear are known to the person skilled in the art as so-called tungsten gears, for example from the published patent application DE 195 25 831 AI. It has been shown that a washing brush with such a Wolfrom gear enables a particularly effective cleaning of objects, a user being able to press the washing brush against the surface to be cleaned without the risk of the rotary movement of the brush head being interrupted. At the same time, the Wolfrom gear can be used to ensure that the brush head only rotates at low speed. This has proven to be advantageous in order to achieve thorough cleaning of the object, for example a motor vehicle. Due to the achievable low speed, it is also avoided that cleaning fluid is sprayed away from the side of the brush head.
- the drive wheel is rotated in that it is acted upon by pressurized cleaning fluid.
- the drive wheel is designed as a turbine wheel.
- the turbine wheel is connected in one piece to the sun wheel.
- the turbine wheel has a rotatably mounted turbine wheel disk which carries the sun wheel in alignment with the axis of rotation of the turbine wheel disk and on whose side facing away from the sun wheel turbine blades are held. The latter are preferably connected in one piece to the turbine wheel disc.
- the transmission has at least two coupling elements in the form of two diametrically opposed planet gears.
- the fixed ring gear is held on a support plate and the rotatable ring gear is held on a cover plate, the two ring gears and the support plate and the cover plate defining a gear space which receives the at least one coupling element.
- the fixed ring gear is preferably connected in one piece to the support plate.
- the fixed ring gear can, in combination with the support plate, form a trough-shaped receptacle into which the at least one coupling element can be inserted.
- the rotatable ring gear is integrally connected to the cover plate.
- the rotatable ring gear can form a gear cover which engages over the at least one coupling element.
- the drive wheel is designed as a turbine wheel with a turbine wheel disk.
- the latter is aligned parallel to the support plate and carries the turbine blades on its side facing away from the support plate.
- the turbine wheel disc is in sliding contact with the support plate, it being particularly advantageous if the turbine wheel disc and the support plate have interlocking guide elements, for example guide grooves and guide ribs.
- This enables the turbine wheel disc to be guided on the support plate, a sealing function being achieved in the manner of a labyrinth seal at the same time.
- guide grooves are formed in the support plate, into which guide ribs connected in one piece to the turbine wheel disk are inserted.
- the transmission has an output shaft aligned coaxially with the two ring gears, which extends through the sun gear and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner both to the rotatable ring gear and to the brush head.
- the rotary motion of the rotatable ring gear can be transmitted to the brush head via the output shaft.
- the arrangement of the output shaft coaxial with the two ring gears enables a compact design.
- the output shaft is preferably held on a cover plate which is rigidly connected to the rotatable ring gear. It is advantageous here if the ring gear, the cover plate and the output shaft are connected to one another in one piece.
- a particularly high mechanical strength has an advantageous embodiment of the washing brush according to the invention, in which the washing brush comprises a housing with a bottom wall which is arranged parallel to and at a distance from a wall of the gearbox, the wall and the bottom wall axially delimiting a drive space that picks up the drive wheel.
- an annular collar projecting axially from the wall and / or the bottom wall can be used, which has an opening for introducing the cleaning agent into the drive space.
- the wall of the transmission can be configured, for example, as a support plate carrying the fixed ring gear.
- the drive wheel is designed as a turbine wheel with turbine blades arranged in the drive chamber.
- the output shaft extends through the drive chamber and a through opening of the bottom wall and can be detachably connected to the brush head in its end region projecting beyond the bottom wall. This enables the washing brush according to the invention to be easily assembled, for example the brush head can be placed in the axial direction on the end region of the output shaft which projects beyond the base wall.
- the brush head has a brush disk on which a first and a second set of cleaning bristles are held, the cleaning bristles of the first set being aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the brush head and the cleaning bristles of the second set being inclined are aligned with the axis of rotation of the brush head. It has been shown that the mechanical cleaning effect can be improved by such a configuration of the bristle head.
- the brush disk it is expedient for the brush disk to slide against a bottom wall of the housing of the washing brush. It is advantageous here if the brush disk and the bottom wall have interlocking guide elements, for example a guide rib, which is immersed in an associated guide groove.
- the guide rib is preferably arranged on the upper side of the brush disk facing away from the cleaning bristles and dips into a guide groove formed on the underside of the bottom wall of the housing.
- Figure 1 is a bottom view of a washing brush according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a side view of the washing brush
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the washing brush
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of a drive device of the washing brush
- Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5-5 in Figure 4.
- the drawing schematically shows a washing brush, generally designated by reference number 10, which can be used, for example, as an accessory for a high-pressure cleaning device and can be connected to the high-pressure hose of the high-pressure cleaning device.
- the washing brush 10 has a housing 12 with a bottom wall 13 and a hood 14, which accommodate a drive device 16 between them.
- a hood 18 is attached to the side of the hood 14 and carries at its free end a coupling 19 designed as a bayonet lock for releasably connecting the washing brush 10 to a known spray gun of a high-pressure cleaning device, not shown in the drawing.
- the washing brush 10 On the underside of the bottom wall 13 facing away from the hood 14, the washing brush 10 has an exchangeable brush head 21 with a brush disk 22 and with a first set of cleaning bristles 23 and a second set of cleaning bristles 24.
- the brush head 21 is rotatable about an axis of rotation 26 and the cleaning bristles of the first cleaning bristle set are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation 26, while the cleaning bristles of the second cleaning bristle set are oriented obliquely to the axis of rotation 26 to the outside. This is particularly clear from Figure 3.
- the drive device 16 covered by the hood 14 comprises a gear 28 and a drive wheel in the form of a turbine wheel 30.
- the latter has a turbine wheel disk 31 aligned parallel to the bottom wall 13 of the housing 12, of which a plurality of in the axial direction, facing the bottom wall 13 Project turbine blades 32 which are integrally connected to the turbine wheel disc 31.
- the turbine wheel 30 is rotatably mounted on an output shaft 34 of the transmission 28, which extends through a central through opening 37 of the bottom wall 13 with a lower end region 35 and forms a polygon onto which the brush disk 22 can be placed, producing a rotationally fixed connection between the Output shaft 34 and the brush disk 22nd
- the output shaft 34 is connected in one piece to a cover plate 39 of the transmission 28, which on its outer edge forms a joint with the cover plate 39 and the Drive shaft 34 rotatable ring gear 41 carries, which has a toothing shown in Figure 5 with a plurality of teeth 42 on the inside.
- the gear 28 comprises a support plate 44, on the underside of which, facing away from the cover plate 39, the turbine wheel disc 31 slidably engages. H. facing the turbine wheel disc 31, guide grooves 45 are formed, dip into the corresponding guide ribs 47, which are integrally connected to the turbine wheel disc 31.
- the support plate 44 and the turbine wheel disk 31 thus form a labyrinth-like seal to protect the transmission 28 from the ingress of liquid and dirt.
- the support plate 44 On its outer edge, the support plate 44 carries a fixed ring gear 49 connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner, which is arranged axially in alignment with the rotatable ring gear 41 and has teeth on the inside with a plurality of teeth 50.
- the support plate 44 has a central through bore 52 and, in combination with the cover plate 39 and with the rotatable ring gear 41 and the fixed ring gear 49, forms a gear housing which surrounds a gear space 54 into which a central through bore 52 penetrates and integrally with the support plate 44 connected sun gear 56 dips.
- the support plate 44 On its underside facing away from the fixed ring gear 49, the support plate 44 carries an annular collar 62 facing the brush head 21, onto which a pipe socket 63 is formed coaxially to the feed line 18 and which has a spray nozzle
- the annular collar 62 delimit a drive chamber designed as a turbine chamber 70, into which cleaning agent can be injected by means of the spray nozzle 65 and which leave the turbine chamber 70 via passage openings 72 molded into the brush disk 22 and thus between the first and the first second set of cleaning bristles 23 and 24 can pass through.
- the cleaning agent supply can be adjusted continuously by means of a control valve 74 arranged at the level of the spray nozzle 65, the outlet cross section at the nozzle head 66 being able to be varied between a minimum size and a maximum size. The larger the outlet cross section at the nozzle head
- the speed can be continuously adjusted by selecting the outlet cross section.
- the Control valve 74 the amount of the admixed chemical can be adjusted, because with a larger outlet cross section at the nozzle head 66, a lower pressure is established downstream of the injector. As a result, there is a greater drop in pressure at the injector, which in turn causes a greater amount of chemical to be added.
- the minimum size of the outlet cross-section at the nozzle head 66 is preferably selected such that when the outlet cross-section is set to the minimum size, pressure ratios are set at which practically no chemical is added to the injector.
- high-pressure cleaning liquid preferably water
- high-pressure cleaning liquid can be directed onto the turbine blades 32 by means of the spray nozzle 65, so that the rotatably mounted turbine wheel 30 and the sun wheel 56 integrally connected to it are set in rotation.
- the two planet gears 58, 60 roll on the teeth 42 and 50 of the rotatable ring gear 41 and the fixed ring gear 49, and due to the difference in the number of teeth of the two internal gears, there is a relative movement of the two ring gears 41 and 49 , which corresponds to the difference in the number of teeth in a complete revolution of the planet gears 58, 60.
- the ring gear 49 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the support plate 44, so that the relative movement of the two ring gears to a rotary movement of the rotatable ring gear 41 and thus also the cover plate 39 and the cover integrally connected to it drive shaft 34 leads.
- a very large reduction in the rotational speed of the turbine wheel 30 can be achieved by using the fixed ring gear 49 and the rotatable ring gear 41, and at the same time a very large torque can be transmitted from the turbine wheel 30 to the output shaft 34.
- the output shaft 34 is in a rotationally fixed connection with the brush head 21, so that this can be set in rotation in accordance with the output shaft 34 at low speed and high torque.
- a surface to be cleaned for example the surface of a motor vehicle, can be mechanically wiped off by means of the rotatable brush head 21.
- the surface to be cleaned can be acted upon by the cleaning liquid emerging from the turbine space 70 via the passage openings 72. Overall, this enables an effective cleaning of a surface, a user being able to press the washing brush 10 against the surface to be cleaned with considerable force without the risk of the rotary movement of the brush head 21 being interrupted.
