A suction-type cleaning vehicle that sucks dust and collects it in the hopper on the vehicle body has a significantly reduced dust suction capability when the accumulated dust amount in the hopper exceeds the allowable height. When dust is accumulated, it is necessary to stop cleaning and head to the waste site, but for that purpose, it is necessary to measure the accumulated dust amount in the hopper and grasp the marginal dust collection amount up to the allowable amount.

そこで従来は、ホッパの重量をホッパ内の堆積塵量を把
握している。
Therefore, conventionally, the weight of the hopper is used to grasp the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper.

However, if the weight of the hopper is measured and the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper is grasped as described above, the amount of dust accumulated in the hopper affects the grasped accumulation amount, and therefore the weight of mud or the like in the hopper If a large amount of dust is accumulated, the amount of accumulated dust will exceed the dust collection limit before the amount of dust accumulated in the hopper is close to the allowable height, and a large amount of light dust will accumulate in the hopper. In doing so, there was a problem that the grasped accumulated amount may not exceed the dust collection limit even if the accumulated dust amount in the hopper exceeds the allowable height. Further, in the above-mentioned conventional method for grasping the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper, the vibration of the vehicle body during traveling affects the measured value of the hopper, and the measured value always fluctuates. There was also the problem that it was difficult to grasp.

That is, this hopper internal dust amount measuring apparatus has a front chamber 4a and a rear chamber 4b in the hopper 4, which are partitioned into a front chamber 4a and a rear chamber 4b by a partition wall 5 having a rubber curtain 6 at the bottom, respectively. The ultrasonic transmitters / receivers 17, 18 for emitting ultrasonic waves toward the accumulated dust in the inside and receiving the reflected waves to detect the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper 4 are provided to detect the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper 4. The amount of dust accumulated in the hopper 4 is detected by ultrasonic waves in this way. If the amount of dust accumulated in the hopper 4 is detected by ultrasonic waves in this way, the amount of dust accumulated in the hopper 4 is not affected by the weight of dust accumulated in the hopper 4, the vehicle body vibration, or the like. The amount of accumulated dust can be measured almost accurately.

Moreover, in the hopper dust amount measuring apparatus, the ultrasonic transceivers 17, 18 are provided in the vicinity of the ultrasonic transceivers 17, 18.
The air blower 22 for blowing air is provided on the front surface of the ultrasonic wave transmitter / receiver 17, 18 so that the dust floating on the front surface of the ultrasonic wave transmitter / receiver 17, 18 is blown off by the air. There is no possibility that dust adheres to the front surface and the capability of detecting the amount of accumulated dust by ultrasonic waves deteriorates.

Furthermore, in this hopper dust amount measuring device, the hopper front chamber
A guard plate 15 is provided on the upper part of 4a, and by this guard plate 15, the direction of the air flow blown from the dust outlet 13 of the front wall of the hopper toward the upper surface of the front chamber 4a is directed to the upper part of the front chamber 4a. Since the ultrasonic wave transmitters / receivers 17 and 18 are provided so as not to directly touch the ultrasonic wave transmitter / receiver 17, the dust in the air flow blown from the dust outlet 13 into the hopper 4 is transmitted to the ultrasonic transmitter / receiver in the front chamber 4a. Not only this ultrasonic transceiver 17 or 18 is not damaged by hitting 17,18, but the air blown from the air outlet 22 to the front face of the ultrasonic transceiver 17 or 18 is a dust outlet. Since the air blown out from the air blower 13 is hardly affected, the air blown out from the air blower 22 is the air sucked from the outside due to the difference between the internal pressure of the hopper and the external air pressure and not so high. Even an ultrasonic transceiver 1
It is possible to favorably blow off the dust floating on the front surfaces of the 7, 18 to prevent the dust from adhering to the front surfaces of the ultrasonic transceivers 17, 18.

In addition, in this embodiment, the guard plate 15 is not provided in the rear chamber 4b of the hopper 4, but the air flow blown from the dust outlet 13 into the hopper front chamber 4a does not affect the guard plate in the front chamber 4a. The flow velocity is reduced at 15 and heavy dust a is dropped, and while dropping dust a, it passes under the rubber curtain 6 and enters the rear chamber 4b of the hopper, so that it flows from the front chamber 4a to the rear chamber 4b. The air flow to be generated is an air flow having a small amount of dust and a low flow velocity.
The ultrasonic transceivers 17 and 18 in the rear chamber 4b are not damaged by dust in the air flow, and the ultrasonic transceiver 1
The air blown from the air blower 22 to the front part of the 7,18 is not affected by the air flow flowing into the rear chamber 4b from the front chamber 4a, so the ultrasonic transmitter / receiver 17 of the hopper rear chamber 4b, 18
The dust floating on the front surface of the ultrasonic wave transmitter / receiver can also be blown off satisfactorily to prevent the dust from adhering to the front surface of the ultrasonic transceivers 17, 18.

However, the air blown out from the air blower 22 only blows away dust floating on the front surfaces of the ultrasonic transceivers 17 and 18, and cannot blow up dust floating inside the hopper 4. Therefore, in both the front chamber 4a and the rear chamber 4b of the hopper 4, the dust floating in the hopper 4 is absorbed by the ultrasonic transceivers 17,18.
Although it affects the detection accuracy of the accumulated dust amount to some extent, compared to the effects of dust weight and vehicle body vibration, which are problems in the conventional accumulated dust amount measurement, the influence of the suspended dust on the detection accuracy is small. The amount of accumulated dust in the hopper can be measured almost accurately.

Further, the amount of dust floating on the front surfaces of the ultrasonic transmitters / receivers 17, 18 increases as the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper 4 increases, but this amount of suspended dust affects the detection accuracy of the accumulated dust amount. The influence is increased when the dust a exceeds the allowable height and accumulates near the ultrasonic transceivers 17 and 18,
As described in the section [Prior Art], the cleaning vehicle stops cleaning when the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper is close to the allowable height and goes to the waste site. Therefore, the amount of accumulated dust in the hopper 4 is increased. It is unthinkable that the man exceeds the allowable height.

Further, in the above cleaning vehicle, when the dust outlet 13 is blocked by the accumulated dust a in the hopper, the suction efficiency of the dust a is significantly reduced. Therefore, the allowable amount of accumulated dust is higher than the dust outlet 13 It is at a lower level, so the ultrasonic transceiver 17,1 can be used even when the amount of accumulated dust is close to the allowable height.
Since 8 is sufficiently distant from the accumulated dust amount a, the amount of dust floating on the front surfaces of the ultrasonic wave transmitters / receivers 17, 18 does not increase to such an extent that the accumulated dust amount detection accuracy is affected.

Further, in the above embodiment, the hopper front chamber 4a and the hopper rear chamber 4a
An ultrasonic transmitter 17 and an ultrasonic receiver 18 are provided in 4b and 4b, respectively, but it is the amount of accumulated dust in the front chamber 4a of the hopper that affects the suction efficiency of the dust a, and therefore the accumulation in the front chamber 4a. Since it is sufficient if the dust amount can be measured, the ultrasonic transceivers 17 and 18 may be provided at least in the hopper front chamber 4a.
