Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein automatisiertes Glasdach-Reinigungssystem, insbesondere Wintergartenglasdach-Reinigungssystem, mit mehreren Reinigungsdüsen.The invention relates to an automated glass roof cleaning system, in particular a conservatory glass roof cleaning system, with several cleaning nozzles.

Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Wintergarten-, Sommergarten- oder Terrassenüberdachungsglasdach mit mehreren Stehern, mehreren Seitenträgerprofilen und/oder Mittelträgerprofilen, zumindest einem Wandanschlussprofil, zumindest einem Traufenträgerprofil, mehreren Glastafeln und einem automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystem.Furthermore, the invention relates to a winter garden, summer garden or patio canopy glass roof with several uprights, several side support profiles and / or central support profiles, at least one wall connection profile, at least one eaves support profile, several glass panels and an automated glass roof cleaning system.

Zudem betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Reinigen eines Glasdaches, insbesondere eines Wintergartenglasdaches, mit einem automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystem, insbesondere Wintergartenglasdach-Reinigungssystem, mit mehreren Reinigungsdüsen.In addition, the invention relates to a method for cleaning a glass roof, in particular a conservatory glass roof, with an automated glass roof cleaning system, in particular conservatory glass roof cleaning system, with a plurality of cleaning nozzles.

Glasflachdächer verschmutzen sehr schnell. Dies trifft insbesondere für Wintergärten an privaten, industriellen oder öffentlichen Gebäuden zu, die meistens Flachdächer mit nicht allzu starker Neigung besitzen. Derartige Flachdächer werden durch Blätter, Staub und Blütenstaub rasch verunreinigt. Insbesondere sondern beispielsweise Linden einen klebrigen Saft ab, der sich wie ein Ölfilm auf das Glasdach legt. Jedes Wintergartendach weist daher, wenn es nicht regelmäßig gereinigt wird, nach kürzester Zeit einen grünen Schmutzfilm auf, der die Sicht beeinträchtigt.Flat glass roofs get dirty very quickly. This applies in particular to winter gardens on private, industrial or public buildings, which mostly have flat roofs with a not too steep slope. Such flat roofs are quickly contaminated by leaves, dust and pollen. In particular, linden trees, for example, release a sticky sap that covers the glass roof like an oil film. If it is not cleaned regularly, every winter garden roof will soon have a green film of dirt that impairs the view.

Um derartige Verunreinigungen zu entfernen, wurden bisher manuell zu handhabende Reinigungsvorrichtungen eingesetzt, wie beispielsweise Wasserschläuche, Hochdruckreiniger, Fensterputzgeräte etc. Um eine Reinigung mit derartigen manuell zu betätigenden Geräten durchzuführen, ist jedoch ein relativ hoher Zeitaufwand erforderlich. Darüber hinaus ist das Reinigungsergebnis nicht immer zufriedenstellend. Schließlich ist eine Reinigung mit derartigen Mitteln nicht ungefährlich, da sie teilweise in relativ großer Höhe erfolgen muss.To remove such contaminants, manually operated cleaning devices have been used, such as water hoses, high-pressure cleaners, window cleaning devices, etc. However, a relatively high expenditure of time is required to carry out cleaning with such manually operated devices. In addition, the cleaning result is not always satisfactory. Finally, cleaning with such agents is not without risk, as it sometimes has to be done at a relatively great height.

Zur Vermeidung von dieser anstrengenden, mühsamen und gefährlichen manuellen Reinigung von Glasdächern ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, diese Reinigung (voll)automatisiert durchzuführen. So beschreibt die DE 19847239 A1 eine fest installierte oder fest installierbare Reinigungsvorrichtung an der zu reinigenden Glasdachfläche, beispielsweise einem Wintergartendach, die eine bewegbare Reinigungsschiene aufweist. Diese bewegbare Reinigungsschiene ist so montiert beziehungsweise installiert, dass sie parallel zur zu reinigenden Glasfläche bewegbar ist und im Betrieb diese Glasfläche überstreicht. An der Reinigungsschiene sind mehrerer Reinigungsdüsen angeordnet, die ein unter Druck stehendes Reinigungsmedium auf die zu reinigende Fläche abgeben. Dadurch, dass die Reinigungsschiene parallel zur zu reinigenden Fläche bewegt wird, werden sämtliche Bereiche der zu reinigenden Fläche von den Reinigungsdüsen erfasst, sodass die Fläche durch Abgabe des Reinigungsmediums gleichmäßig gereinigt wird. Das unter Druck stehende Reinigungsmedium wird von einer stationären Einrichtung, in der das Reinigungsmedium unter Druck gesetzt wird, über eine flexible Zuführleitung den Reinigungsdüsen zugeführt. Der Druck des Reinigungsmediums ist vorzugsweise einstellbar, je nach Verschmutzungsgrad der zu reinigenden Gebäudefläche
Weitere Reinigungsanlage sind ferner aus US 2007/205308 A1 , CN 205476131 U und DE 202006005830 U1 bekannt.In order to avoid this strenuous, laborious and dangerous manual cleaning of glass roofs, it is known from the prior art to carry out this cleaning (fully) automatically. So describes the DE 19847239 A1 a permanently installed or permanently installable cleaning device on the glass roof surface to be cleaned, for example a winter garden roof, which has a movable cleaning rail. This movable cleaning rail is mounted or installed in such a way that it can be moved parallel to the glass surface to be cleaned and sweeps over this glass surface during operation. Several cleaning nozzles are arranged on the cleaning rail, one under pressure Dispense standing cleaning agent onto the surface to be cleaned. Because the cleaning rail is moved parallel to the surface to be cleaned, all areas of the surface to be cleaned are covered by the cleaning nozzles, so that the surface is cleaned evenly by releasing the cleaning medium. The pressurized cleaning medium is supplied to the cleaning nozzles via a flexible supply line from a stationary device in which the cleaning medium is pressurized. The pressure of the cleaning medium is preferably adjustable, depending on the degree of soiling of the building surface to be cleaned
Further cleaning systems are also off US 2007/205308 A1 , CN 205476131 U and DE 202006005830 U1 known.

Aus der DE 10 2006 059 961 A1 ist eine festinstallierte automatische Reinigungsanlage für waagrechte Fensteraußenflächen, insbesondere denen von Wintergärten und Dachfenstern, bekannt, wobei pro Fensterbahn eine automatische Anlage besteht, wobei die Reinigungselemente aus einem festen Besenteil, einem festen Schwamm und einer Gummilippe bestehen, die einzeln verfahren werden und die durch ein Mitnahmesystem nacheinander in Arbeitsposition gebracht werden. Alternativ kann auch eine vierteilige, rotierbare Reinigungseinheit mit den drei Reinigungselementen und einer Leerstelle für das zurückfahren der Gummilippe und den Besen (zum Laub oder Schnee entfernen), die in Arbeitsposition nur nach unten verfahren sollen, vorgenommen werden. Diese Reinigungselemente sind am oberen Fensterrahmen oder an der Hauswand in einem Schutzkasten untergebracht. Entlang der Fensterholme befinden sich die seitlichen Führungsschienen, die bei angrenzenden Scheiben gedoppelt sind, so dass die Anlage über mehrere Bahnen ausgebildet werden kann. Diese Führungsschienen ermöglichen durch den Einsatz eines motorisch angetriebenen Schub- oder Zugsystems (z.B. Schubkette) die Auf- und Abwärtsbewegung der Reinigungselemente auf der Glasscheibe.From the DE 10 2006 059 961 A1 is a permanently installed automatic cleaning system for horizontal outer window surfaces, in particular those of winter gardens and skylights, known, with an automatic system for each window strip, the cleaning elements consist of a fixed Besenteil, a fixed sponge and a rubber lip, which are moved individually and through a Carry-along system can be brought into working position one after the other. Alternatively, a four-part, rotatable cleaning unit with the three cleaning elements and an empty space for moving back the rubber lip and the broom (to remove leaves or snow), which should only move downwards in the working position, can be used. These cleaning elements are housed in a protective box on the upper window frame or on the house wall. The lateral guide rails, which are doubled in the case of adjacent panes, are located along the window stiles, so that the system can be formed over several tracks. Using a motor-driven push or pull system (e.g. push chain), these guide rails enable the cleaning elements to move up and down on the glass pane.

Eine weitere automatisierte Reinigungsvorrichtung zeigt die Druckschrift DE 20 2007 006 874 U1 , wo im Bereich des Ausfallprofils eine Scheibenreinigungseinrichtung zum Reinigen der Wintergartenverglasung angeordnet ist, welche insbesondere eine auf die Oberseite der Wintergartenverglasung einwirkende Abstreifeinrichtung sowie Düsen zur Abgabe von Wasser umfassen kann. Die Düsen der Scheibenreinigungseinrichtung können günstiger Weise über eine Pumpe mit Wasser versorgt werden, wobei für die Wasserversorgung der Düsen elastische, im Bereich der Tuchwelle aufrollbare Leitungen vorgesehen sein können. Die Pumpe kann in Abhängigkeit von der Bewegung des Ausfallprofils aktiviert werden oder manuell ein- beziehungsweise ausschaltbar sein. Da nicht bei jeder Bewegung der Markise beziehungsweise des Ausfallprofils eine Scheibenreinigung erforderlich sein wird, kann die Abstreifeinrichtung auf die Oberfläche der Wintergartenverglasung absenkbar beziehungsweise von dieser abhebbar sein, wobei diese Bewegung manuell gesteuert oder mittels einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung erfolgen kann. Beispielsweise kann das Absenken und Anheben elektronisch gesteuert jeweils nach einer Anzahl von Betätigungen der Wintergartenmarkise erfolgen. Bei größeren Wintergartenverglasungen mit Querriegeln ist es erforderlich, die Abstreifeinrichtung im Bereich dieser Querriegel anzuheben, um eine Kollision bei der Bewegung zu verhindern. Dieses Anheben kann wegabhängig oder durch Sensoren ausgelöst erfolgen.Another automated cleaning device is shown in the document DE 20 2007 006 874 U1 , where a window cleaning device for cleaning the winter garden glazing is arranged in the area of the drop profile, which can in particular comprise a stripping device acting on the upper side of the winter garden glazing as well as nozzles for dispensing water. The nozzles of the windshield cleaning device can advantageously be supplied with water via a pump, elastic lines which can be rolled up in the region of the roller tube can be provided for the water supply to the nozzles. The pump can be activated as a function of the movement of the drop profile or can be switched on or off manually. Since it is not necessary to clean the window every time the awning or the front profile is moved, the stripping device can be lowered onto the surface of the winter garden glazing or can be lifted off from it, with this movement can be controlled manually or by means of an electronic control device. For example, the lowering and raising can be electronically controlled after a number of activations of the conservatory awning. In the case of larger conservatory glazing with crossbars, it is necessary to lift the stripping device in the area of these crossbars in order to prevent a collision when moving. This lifting can take place depending on the path or triggered by sensors.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein automatisiertes Reinigungssystem für Glasdächer, insbesondere Wintergärtenglasdächer, zu schaffen, das die mühsame und zeitintensive manuelle Reinigung ersetzt und das darüber hinaus mit dem geringsten technischen Aufwand und ohne bewegte Teile auskommt, und das dadurch bedingt auch leicht montiert und entsprechend kostengünstig angeboten werden kann, sowie in weiterer Folge wenig störanfällig und wartungsaufwändig ist. Eine Anlage die in dezenter Bauweise optisch nicht als störend empfunden wird, und auch bei bestehenden Wintergärten einfach und schnell nachgerüstet werden kann.The present invention is based on the object of creating an automated cleaning system for glass roofs, in particular conservatory glass roofs, which replaces laborious and time-consuming manual cleaning and which also requires the least technical effort and no moving parts, and which is also easy as a result mounted and can be offered accordingly inexpensive, and is subsequently less prone to failure and maintenance-intensive. A system which, with its subtle construction, is not perceived as being visually disruptive, and which can also be easily and quickly retrofitted to existing winter gardens.

Ausgehend von einem automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystem der eingangs genannten Art mit mehreren Reinigungsdüsen , wie z.B. aus DE 202006003917 U1 bekannt, wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Glasdach-Reinigungssystem einen modularen Aufbau aufweist, das einzelne Reinigungssystem-Module umfasst, wobei jedes Reinigungssystem-Modul jeweils ein Aufsatzprofil, eine Leitung inklusive Halterungen, mehrere Reinigungsdüsen und ein Deckprofil umfasst.Based on an automated glass roof cleaning system of the type mentioned with several cleaning nozzles, such as from DE 202006003917 U1 known, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the glass roof cleaning system has a modular structure that includes individual cleaning system modules, each cleaning system module each comprising an attachment profile, a line including brackets, several cleaning nozzles and a cover profile.

Durch diesen modularen Aufbau des Glasdach-Reinigungssystem ist es möglich, die einzelnen Reinigungssystem-Module über das Aufsatzprofil und den damit verbundenen unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Adapterprofile für die verschiedensten Wintergartenvarianten mit den unterschiedlichsten Trägerprofilen zu verwenden, und auch auf bestehende Wintergartensysteme nachzurüsten. Durch solche Ausführungsformen kann einfach Flüssigkeit wie Wasser oder ein Reinigungsmittel-Wassergemisch auf die Glasflächen aufgebracht werden, welches entsprechend dem Neigungswinkel dieser abfließt. Damit ergibt sich auch der zusätzliche Effekt der Kühlung des Glasdaches und damit des darunterliegenden Raumes.This modular structure of the glass roof cleaning system makes it possible to use the individual cleaning system modules via the attachment profile and the associated differently designed adapter profiles for a wide variety of conservatory variants with a wide variety of support profiles, and also to retrofit existing conservatory systems. By means of such embodiments, liquid such as water or a cleaning agent-water mixture can simply be applied to the glass surfaces, which flows off according to the angle of inclination of these. This also results in the additional effect of cooling the glass roof and thus the space below.

Günstig ist es, die Leitungen inklusive Halterungen und die Reinigungsdüsen im Inneren des Aufsatzprofils und des Deckprofils anzuordnen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Hochdruckleitungen sowie die Reinigungsdüsen von Umwelteinflüssen (Sonneneinstrahlung, Wind und Wetter) geschützt sind, sowie optisch in das Wintergartenkonzept integriert werden.It is favorable to arrange the lines including brackets and the cleaning nozzles inside the attachment profile and the cover profile. This has the advantage that the high-pressure lines and the cleaning nozzles are protected from environmental influences (solar radiation, wind and weather) and are optically integrated into the winter garden concept.

Vorteilhaft ist auch, wenn zumindest eine Reinigungsdüse über zumindest eine schwenkbare Montageschelle befestigt ist. Durch die Montageschelle ist eine Einstellung der Reinigungsdüse und damit der Sprührichtung leicht möglich. Die Montageschelle kann beispielsweise an Seitenträgerprofilen, Rohrleitungen oder ähnlichen Profilen angeordnet sein. Insbesondere wenn die Leitungen als Niederdruckleitungen ausgeführt sind, ist eine Montage über Montageschellen vorteilhaft.It is also advantageous if at least one cleaning nozzle is attached via at least one pivotable mounting bracket. The cleaning nozzle and thus the spray direction can easily be adjusted using the mounting bracket. The mounting clamp can be arranged, for example, on side support profiles, pipelines or similar profiles. In particular if the lines are designed as low-pressure lines, assembly using mounting clamps is advantageous.

Um die Zugänglichkeit zu erhöhen, und damit eine rasche Wartung, Reparatur beziehungsweise Austausch von den Leitungen beziehungsweise den Reinigungsdüsen zu ermöglichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Aufsatzprofil und das Deckprofil über eine Rastverbindung miteinander lösbar verbunden ist, und/oder die Reinigungsdüsen über die schwenkbaren Montageschellen wechselbar sind.In order to increase accessibility, and thus to enable quick maintenance, repair or replacement of the lines or the cleaning nozzles, it is advantageous if the attachment profile and the cover profile are detachably connected to one another via a snap-in connection, and / or the cleaning nozzles via the pivotable ones Mounting clamps are changeable.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Leitungen zumindest teilweise als Hochdruckleitungen ausgeführt sind. Dabei werden unter Hochdruckleitungen Leitungen verstanden, welche Flüssigkeiten mit erhöhtem Druck, also oberhalb der üblichen Druckverhältnisse von privaten Wasserhaushalten geführt werden. In der Regel bewegt sich der übliche Wasserdruck in Haushalten zwischen 1 und 6 bar, teilweise bis zu 10 bar. Unter Hochdruckleitungen sind damit Leitungen gemeint, die in Hinblick dazu Wasser höheren Druckes führen. Üblicherweise wird der Überdruck durch einen Kompressor bereitgestellt, der fixer Bestandteil des Reinigungssystems sein oder erst kurz vor der Inbetriebnahme angeschlossen werden kann. Damit wird beispielsweise die Verwendung von Kompressoren von sonst auch einzeln verwendbaren Hochdruckreinigern ermöglicht und so die Kosten für das Reinigungssystem verringert. Hochdruckleitungen können aus miteinander verschweißten Nirosta-Stahl-Teilen oder anderen druckbeständigen Materialien gefertigt sein.It can be provided that the lines are at least partially designed as high-pressure lines. In this context, high-pressure lines are understood to mean lines which carry liquids with increased pressure, that is to say above the usual pressure ratios of private water households. As a rule, the usual water pressure in households is between 1 and 6 bar, sometimes up to 10 bar. Under high pressure lines are meant lines that lead to higher pressure water. The overpressure is usually provided by a compressor, which can be a fixed component of the cleaning system or which can only be connected shortly before commissioning. This enables, for example, the use of compressors from high-pressure cleaners that can otherwise also be used individually, thus reducing the costs for the cleaning system. High-pressure lines can be made of stainless steel parts welded together or other pressure-resistant materials.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Leitungen zumindest teilweise als Niederdruckleitungen ausgeführt sind. Damit sind mit Niederdruckleitungen Leitungen gemeint, welche Wasser direkt aus privaten Wasserleitungen führen können, also den dort üblichen Druckverhältnissen von bis zu 10 bar Stand halten können. Niederdruckleitungen werden typischerweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt.It can also be provided that the lines are at least partially designed as low-pressure lines. With this, low-pressure lines mean lines which can lead water directly from private water lines, i.e. can withstand the pressure ratios of up to 10 bar that are customary there. Low pressure lines are typically made of plastic.

Um den Wartungsaufwand noch weiter zu reduzieren, kann es günstig sein, die Reinigungsdüsen als selbstreinigende Hochdruck-Sprühdüsen auszuführen, die über die Beaufschlagung mit Druckluft ausblasbar sind.In order to reduce the maintenance effort even further, it can be advantageous to design the cleaning nozzles as self-cleaning high-pressure spray nozzles which can be blown out by applying compressed air.

Günstig ist es den Winkel α zwischen der Sprühachse der Reinigungsdüse und der Mittenachse eines Seitenträgerprofils oder Mittelträgerprofils über die schwenkbare Montageschelle so einzustellen, dass dieser Winkel α einen Wert zwischen 40° und 70°, insbesondere zwischen 40° und 45°, aufweist. Dadurch kann das Sprühbild der Düsen exakt der Größe und Form der Glastafeln zwischen den Trägerprofilen angepasst werden.It is favorable to set the angle α between the spray axis of the cleaning nozzle and the central axis of a side support profile or central support profile via the pivotable mounting bracket so that this angle α has a value between 40 ° and 70 °, in particular between 40 ° and 45 °. As a result, the spray pattern of the nozzles can be adapted exactly to the size and shape of the glass panels between the support profiles.

Eine Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass eine Regel- oder Steuereinrichtung angeordnet ist, mittels der die zeitliche und mengenmäßige Zuführung von Druckluft, Wasser-Druckluftgemisch, Wasser und/oder Reinigungsmittel steuerbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil über vorgegebene Schaltprogramme (z.B. 1. Vorreinigen, um beispielweise Laub und Staub mit Druckluft oder Wasser-Druckluftgemisch wegzublasen; 2. Reinigen mit Reinigungsmittel, um stärkere und eingetrocknete Verschmutzungen zu entfernen; 3. Nachreinigen mit reinem Wasser, um das Reinigungsmittel abzuspülen; 4. Trocken mittels einblasen von Druckluft, um Wasserflecken zu vermeiden) eine vollständige und gründliche Reinigung der Außenglasdachflächen zu erreichen.One embodiment variant of the invention provides that a regulating or control device is arranged by means of which the time and quantity of compressed air, water-compressed air mixture, water and / or cleaning agent can be controlled. This has the advantage over predetermined switching programs (e.g. 1. Pre-cleaning, for example to blow away leaves and dust with compressed air or a water-compressed air mixture; 2. Cleaning with cleaning agent to remove stronger and dried-on dirt; 3. Post-cleaning with pure water to remove the cleaning agent rinse; 4. dry by blowing compressed air in to avoid water stains) to achieve a complete and thorough cleaning of the outer glass roof surfaces.

Um den Verschmutzungsgrad der Glasdachflächen zu ermitteln, und damit selbsttätig eine etwaig notwendige Reinigung einzuleiten, ist es günstig, wenn in dem Aufsatzprofil der einzelnen Reinigungssystem-Modulen Sensoren (sind in den Figuren nicht dargestellt), insbesondere Lichtsensoren, angeordnet sind.In order to determine the degree of soiling of the glass roof surfaces and thus automatically initiate any necessary cleaning, it is advantageous if sensors (not shown in the figures), in particular light sensors, are arranged in the attachment profile of the individual cleaning system modules.

Der einfache Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystems ist besonders bei einem Wintergarten-, Sommergarten- oder Terrassenüberdachungsglasdach mit mehreren Stehern, mehreren Seitenträgerprofilen beziehungsweise Mittelträgerprofilen, zumindest einem Wandanschlussprofil, zumindest einem Traufenträgerprofil und mit mehreren Glastafeln in vorteilhafter Weise montier- bzw. integrierbar.The simple structure of the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention can be advantageously mounted or integrated, particularly in a winter garden, summer garden or terrace roofing glass roof with several uprights, several side support profiles or central support profiles, at least one wall connection profile, at least one eaves support profile and with several glass panels.

Erfindungsgemäß kann es auch günstig sein, dass die Reinigungssystem-Module an einem oder mehreren Seitenträgerprofilen, an einem oder mehreren Mittelträgerprofilen, entlang eines Wandanschlussprofils und entlang eines Traufenträgerprofils angeordnet sind. Das hat den Vorteil, dass die gesamte Außenglasfläche des Wintergartens optimal gereinigt wird.According to the invention, it can also be favorable that the cleaning system modules are arranged on one or more side support profiles, on one or more central support profiles, along a wall connection profile and along an eaves support profile. This has the advantage that the entire outside glass surface of the winter garden is optimally cleaned.

Günstig ist es, wenn das Aufsatzprofil der jeweiligen Reinigungssystem-Module mit einem Adapterprofil, insbesondere über eine Rastverbindung, miteinander lösbar verbunden ist, und wenn der Profilquerschnitt des Adapterprofils für bestehende Wintergarten-Trägerprofilsystemvarianten, insbesondere dem Weinor-Profilsystem und/oder dem TS-Aluminium Profilsystem, angepasst ist, und wenn wiederum das Adapterprofil mit dem Seitenträgerprofil oder Mittelträgerprofil lösbar verbunden, insbesondere verschraubt, ist. Dadurch wird in vorteilhafter Weise ermöglicht, dass das Aufsatzprofil und die damit verbundenen unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Adapterprofile für die verschiedensten Wintergartenvarianten mit den unterschiedlichsten Trägerprofilen (wie beispielsweise dem Weinor-Profilsystem und dem TS-Aluminium Profilsystem) verwendbar und damit auch auf bestehende Wintergartensysteme nachrüstbar ist.It is beneficial if the attachment profile of the respective cleaning system modules is detachably connected to one another with an adapter profile, in particular via a latching connection, and if the profile cross-section of the adapter profile for existing conservatory support profile system variants, in particular the Weinor profile system and / or the TS aluminum Profile system, is adapted, and if in turn the adapter profile is detachably connected, in particular screwed, to the side support profile or central support profile. This makes it possible in an advantageous manner that the attachment profile and the associated differently configured adapter profiles for the most varied of winter garden variants Can be used with a wide variety of support profiles (such as the Weinor profile system and the TS aluminum profile system) and can therefore also be retrofitted to existing winter garden systems.

Um den Montageaufwand und damit die Kosten bei der Neuherstellung eines Wintergartens mit einem automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystem weiter zu reduzieren, kann es günstig sein, dass das Aufsatzprofil - der Reinigungssystem-Module für die Seiten- und Mittelträger - in das Seitenträgerprofil oder Mittelträgerprofil integriert wird, sodass das Aufsatzprofil und das Seitenträgerprofil oder Mittelträgerprofil einstückig ist und vorzugsweise aus einem Aluminiumprofil, insbesondere aus einem Aluminiumstrangpressprofil, besteht.In order to further reduce the installation effort and thus the costs of creating a new winter garden with an automated glass roof cleaning system, it can be beneficial to integrate the attachment profile - the cleaning system modules for the side and center supports - into the side support profile or center support profile. so that the attachment profile and the side support profile or center support profile is in one piece and preferably consists of an aluminum profile, in particular an extruded aluminum profile.

Eine Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass an zumindest zwei Reinigungssystem-Modulen für die Seiten- und Mittelträger des Glasdaches Beschattungsprofilschienenadapter angeordnet sind, und dass die Beschattungsprofilschienenadapter seitlich an den Aufsatzprofilen und Deckprofilen montiert sind, und dass die Beschattungsprofilschienenadapter über Stabilisatoren mit den Reinigungssystem-Modulen verspannt, insbesondere verschraubt, sind. Durch die Verwendung von Stabilisatoren wird in vorteilhafter Weise eine Erhöhung der Steifigkeit und damit der Festigkeit der Reinigungssystem-Module erreicht, um die über den Beschattungsaufbau eingeleiteten Kräfte (wie beispielsweise Gewicht der Beschattungskörper oder Windkräfte) in das jeweilige Trägerprofil abzuführen. Damit kann kostengünstig und optisch ansprechend eine stabile Montageebene für die Beschattungsschienen geschaffen werden.One embodiment of the invention provides that shading profile rail adapters are arranged on at least two cleaning system modules for the side and center supports of the glass roof, and that the shading profile rail adapters are mounted laterally on the attachment profiles and cover profiles, and that the shading profile rail adapters are connected to the cleaning system modules via stabilizers braced, in particular screwed, are. The use of stabilizers advantageously increases the rigidity and thus the strength of the cleaning system modules in order to dissipate the forces introduced via the shading structure (such as the weight of the shading body or wind forces) into the respective support profile. In this way, a stable mounting level for the shading rails can be created in a cost-effective and visually appealing manner.

Eine einfache Möglichkeit der Steuerung des Reinigungsvorganges wird erreicht, wenn die einzelnen Reinigungssystem-Module gemeinsam über die Regel- oder Steuereinrichtung angesteuert werden, um die zeitliche sowie mengenmäßige Zuführung von Druckluft, Wasser-Druckluftgemisch, Wasser und/oder Reinigungsmittel zu steuern.A simple way of controlling the cleaning process is achieved when the individual cleaning system modules are controlled jointly via the regulating or control device in order to control the time and quantity of compressed air, water-compressed air mixture, water and / or cleaning agent.

Um die Außenglasdachreinigung besonders effizient und gründlich zu gestalten, ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Regel- oder Steuereinrichtung eine Vorreinigung des Glasdaches durchführt, und dazu in die Hochdruckleitungen der Reinigungssystem-Module Druckluft oder ein Wasser-Druckluftgemisch eingeleitet wird, um damit Laub, Staub und lose Verunreinigungen durch die Reinigungsdüsen wegzublasen oder wegzuspülen. Anschließend wird optional eine Reinigung des Glasdaches durchgeführt, und dazu in die Hochdruckleitungen Reinigungsmittel oder ein Reinigungsmittel-Wassergemisch eingeleitet, um damit stärkere Verschmutzungen durch die Reinigungsdüsen über Hochdruckimpulse oder Dauerhochdruck wegzuwaschen. Abschließend kann eine Nachreinigung und Trocknung des Glasdaches durchgeführt werden, und dazu in die Hochdruckleitungen Wasser und anschließend Druckluft einleiten, damit das Glasdach abgewaschen und getrocknet wird, um die Entstehung von Wasserflecken, insbesondere durch die Sonneneinstrahlung, zu vermeiden.In order to make the outer glass roof cleaning particularly efficient and thorough, it is advantageous that the regulating or control device carries out a pre-cleaning of the glass roof, and for this purpose compressed air or a water-compressed air mixture is introduced into the high-pressure lines of the cleaning system modules in order to remove leaves, dust and Blow or wash away loose contaminants through the cleaning nozzles. The glass roof is then optionally cleaned, and for this purpose detergent or a detergent-water mixture is introduced into the high-pressure lines in order to wash away heavier soiling through the cleaning nozzles via high-pressure pulses or continuous high pressure. Finally, the glass roof can be cleaned and dried, as well as water and water in the high-pressure pipes then introduce compressed air so that the glass roof is washed and dried in order to avoid the formation of water stains, especially from the sun's rays.

Es können stärkere Verschmutzungen durch die Reinigungsdüsen mittels Hochdruckimpulse und/oder Dauerhochdruckbeaufschlagung weggewaschen werden.Stronger soiling can be washed away by the cleaning nozzles by means of high pressure pulses and / or continuous application of high pressure.

Besonders Vorteilhaft ist ein Reinigungsverfahren, bei dem vorgesehen ist, dass zuerst eine Vorreinigung durchgeführt wird und dazu in die Leitungen der Reinigungssystem-Module Druckluft eingeleitet wird, danach eine Reinigung durchgeführt wird und dazu in die Leitungen der Reinigungssystem-Module Reinigungsmittel und/oder ein Reinigungsmittel-Wassergemisch eingeleitet wird und nach der Reinigung eine Nachreinigung und/oder Trocknung durchgeführt wird und dazu in die Leitungen der Reinigungssystem-Module Druckluft eingeleitet wird.A cleaning method is particularly advantageous in which it is provided that a pre-cleaning is carried out first and for this purpose compressed air is introduced into the lines of the cleaning system modules, then cleaning is carried out and, for this purpose, cleaning agents and / or a cleaning agent are introduced into the lines of the cleaning system modules -Water mixture is introduced and, after cleaning, post-cleaning and / or drying is carried out and for this purpose compressed air is introduced into the lines of the cleaning system modules.

Weiters kann vorgesehen sein, dass während der Reinigung in die Leitungen zuerst ein Reinigungsmittel-Wassergemisch eingeleitet wird, danach ein Klarspüler-Wassergemisch eingeleitet wird und nach dem Einleiten des Klarspüler-Wassergemisches ein Endreinigungsmittel-Wassergemisch eingeleitet wird, wobei als Endreinigungsmittel ein Reinigungsmittel mit Lotus-Effekt verwendet wird. Dabei sind mit Klarspüler Zusatzstoffe zum Wasser gemeint, die die Trocknung der Glasoberfläche verbessern. Meist handelt es sich dabei und nichtionische Tenside oder organische Säuren wie Zitronensäure. Unter Reinigungsmittel mit Lotus-Effekt werden Reinigungsmittel verstanden, welche einen Lotus-Effekt am damit behandelten Glas bedingen. Dabei ist gemeint, dass die behandelte Glasoberfläche nur schwer benetzbar wird und auftreffendes Wasser leichter tropfenbildend ablaufen kann. Die somit hydrophobe Oberfläche verschmutzt damit langsamer.Furthermore, it can be provided that a detergent-water mixture is first introduced into the lines during cleaning, then a rinse aid-water mixture is introduced and, after the introduction of the rinse aid-water mixture, a final cleaning agent-water mixture is introduced, with a cleaning agent with lotus as the final cleaning agent. Effect is used. Rinse aid means additives to the water that improve the drying of the glass surface. Mostly these are and nonionic surfactants or organic acids such as citric acid. Cleaning agents with a lotus effect are understood to mean cleaning agents which cause a lotus effect on the glass treated with them. What is meant here is that the treated glass surface can only be wetted with difficulty and that water that hits it can run off more easily, forming drops. The thus hydrophobic surface becomes soiled more slowly.

Erfindungsgemäß kann es auch günstig sein, dass der Reinigungsvorgang des Glasdaches durch die Regel- oder Steuereinrichtung neben der Möglichkeit der manuellen (z.B. über eine Fernbedienung) oder über einen programmierten Schaltplan automatisch über die Messung der Verschmutzung durch Sensoren (sind in den Figuren nicht dargestellt), insbesondere in den Aufsatzprofilen angeordneten Lichtsensoren, in Gang gesetzt wird, um damit selbsttätig eine etwaig notwendige Reinigung einzuleiten, und dadurch die Glasdachfläche des Wintergartens immer in einem optisch ansprechenden Zustand ist.According to the invention, it can also be favorable that the cleaning process of the glass roof by the regulating or control device, in addition to the possibility of manual (e.g. via a remote control) or a programmed circuit diagram, automatically via the measurement of the contamination by sensors (not shown in the figures) , in particular light sensors arranged in the attachment profiles, is set in motion in order to automatically initiate any necessary cleaning, and thus the glass roof surface of the winter garden is always in a visually appealing condition.

Der in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellte Wintergarten weist ein erfindungsgemäßes automatisiertes Glasdach-Reinigungssystem auf, welches mehrere unterschiedliche Reinigungssystem-Module 1, 2, 3 und 4, eine in einem Steher 5 angeordnete als Hochdruckzuleitungen (inklusive einem universellen Anschlussadapter für die gängigen Hochdruckreinigungsgeräte und Druckluftkompressoren) ausgeführte Leitungen (11) und eine Regel- beziehungsweise Steuereinrichtung (welche jedoch in den Figuren nicht dargestellt ist) umfasst.The in Fig. 1 The winter garden shown schematically has an automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention, which has several different cleaning system modules 1, 2, 3 and 4, one arranged in a post 5 as high-pressure supply lines (including a universal connection adapter for common high-pressure cleaning devices and compressed air compressors) ) and a regulating or control device (which, however, is not shown in the figures).

Die einzelnen Reinigungssystem-Module 1, 2, 3 und 4 unterscheiden sich im jeweiligen konstruktiven Aufbau, welcher in den Fig. 3 bis Fig. 11 gezeigt wird. Dabei wird das Reinigungssystem-Modul 1 an einem oder mehreren Seitenträgern, das Reinigungssystem-Modul 2 an einem oder mehreren Mittelträger, das Reinigungssystem-Modul 3 am Wandanschluss und das Reinigungssystem-Modul 4 an der Traufe angeordnet, und über Adapterprofile 9 (siehe Fig. 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 und 12) an den Trägerprofilen befestigt, oder in integraler Bauweise also einstückig (siehe Fig. 4, 6 und 8) mit den Trägerprofilen hergestellt. Die dargestellte Ausführungsform ist als Hochdrucksystem ausgeführt, welches durch einen Kompressor unter Druck gesetztes Wasser führt. Bei solchen Ausführungsformen ist es besonders sinnvoll, Reinigungsdüsen 15 entlang der Seitenträger und Mittelträger anzuordnen und so eine vollständige Reinigung der Glasflächen zu gewährleisten. Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn jene Reinigungsdüsen 15, die eine der Glasflächen besprühen, als Gruppe zusammengefasst werden und jede Gruppe unabhängig von den anderen ein- und ausgeschalten werden kann. Dadurch kann eine sequentielle Reinigung der Glasflächen nacheinander erreicht werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der gesamte Wasserdruck für nur eine Glasfläche verwendet werden kann und die Reinigung so optimal durchgeführt werden kann.The individual cleaning system modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 differ in their respective structural design, which is in the FIGS. 3 to 11 will be shown. The cleaning system module 1 is arranged on one or more side supports, the cleaning system module 2 on one or more central supports, the cleaning system module 3 on the wall connection and the cleaning system module 4 on the eaves, and via adapter profiles 9 (see Fig. 3 , 5 , 7th , 9 , 10 , 11 and 12th ) attached to the support profiles, or in an integral design as a single piece (see Fig. 4 , 6th and 8th ) made with the support profiles. The embodiment shown is designed as a high-pressure system which leads pressurized water through a compressor. In such embodiments, it is particularly useful to arrange cleaning nozzles 15 along the side supports and central supports and thus to ensure complete cleaning of the glass surfaces. It is particularly advantageous if those cleaning nozzles 15 which spray one of the glass surfaces are combined as a group and each group can be switched on and off independently of the others. This enables sequential cleaning of the glass surfaces one after the other. This has the advantage that the entire water pressure can be used for only one glass surface and the cleaning can be carried out optimally.

In Fig. 2 ist das erfindungsgemäße automatisierte Glasdach-Reinigungssystem auf bzw. an einer Terrassenüberdachung angeordnet, wobei der modulare Aufbau des Glasdach-Reinigungssystems gleich dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Wintergarten ist.In Fig. 2 the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention is arranged on or on a patio roof, the modular structure of the glass roof cleaning system being the same as that in Fig. 1 shown winter garden is.

In einer Ausführungsform, welche nur Niederdruckleitungen vorsieht, kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn nur an der höheren Querkante des Glasdaches, also im Falle von Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 entlang des Reinigungssystem-Moduls 3 Reinigungsdüsen 15 angeordnet sind.In an embodiment which only provides low-pressure lines, it can be advantageous if only at the higher transverse edge of the glass roof, that is to say in the case of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 3 cleaning nozzles 15 are arranged along the cleaning system module.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt in einer ersten Ausführung einen Seitenträger - mit einem Seitenträgerprofil 7 - mit dem erfindungsgemäßen automatisierten Glasdach-Reinigungssystem. Dabei umfasst das Reinigungssystem-Modul 1 ein Aufsatzprofil 10, eine Niederdrückleitung inklusive Halterungen, mehrere verstellbare Reinigungsdüsen 15 inklusive schwenkbaren Montageschellen 14 und ein Deckprofil 11. Das Aufsatzprofil 10 und das Deckprofil 11 sind dabei über eine Rastverbindung miteinander lösbar verbunden, wobei im Inneren dieses nunmehr geschlossenen Profils eine Hochdruckleitung inklusive Halterungen und mehrere verstellbare Reinigungsdüsen 15 inklusive der schwenkbaren Montageschellen 14 angeordnet sind.The Fig. 3 shows in a first embodiment a side support - with a side support profile 7 - with the automated glass roof cleaning system according to the invention.
