Modular profile washbasin for plastic and aluminum profiles

Abstract

Modular profile washbasin for cleaning plastic and aluminum profiles, including: ◯ a tub (2) for catching and collecting the used water and for reducing splashing water, ◯ a tool-free removable support surface (3) for supporting the profiles, ◯ a tool-free removable support structure (4) for the substructure of the support surface (3), ◯ a construction which provides a sufficient distance (5) between the support surface (3) and the tray (2) to allow the hand brush to be moistened during the cleaning process, ◯ a water channel (6) that returns the used water below the support structure (4) to the pump.

Description

2. Technical description of the invention:Problem:

[0001] In the window manufacturing industry, plastic and aluminum profiles are often stored outdoors before being integrated into the production process. This storage regularly leads to significant contamination of the profiles, which negatively impacts the production process, the quality of the final products, and the visual appearance of the finished windows.

[0002] Without suitable tools, manual cleaning of these 6 to 6.5 meter long profiles is time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, the water required for cleaning cannot be used precisely or collected, making cleaning even more difficult. According to my research, there is currently no tool available that specifically facilitates the manual profile cleaning process – the profile wash basin described below fills precisely this gap. Solution:

[0003] The present invention relates to a modular profile washbasin specifically designed for cleaning plastic and aluminum profiles used in the window manufacturing industry. The washbasin enables ergonomic and water-optimized manual cleaning with a hand brush and a cleaning gun connected to a pump. The essential components are: Modular base frame (1): The base frame of the washbasin is modular and can be flexibly adapted to individual space conditions as well as to the length of the profiles to be cleaned. Tray (2): The integrated tray serves as a collecting tray and splash guard by catching and collecting the water produced when cleaning with the cleaning gun. Removable support surface (3): The profiles are placed on a support surface that can be removed without tools, which allows for easy cleaning of the tub (2). Removable support frame of the support surface (4): The support frame forms the substructure of the support surface (3) and can also be removed without tools to facilitate cleaning of the tub (2). Distance between support surface and tub (5): The sufficient distance between the support surface (3) and the tub (2) allows the hand brush to be moistened directly with water from the tub (2) during the cleaning process without having to rely on an additional water source. Water guide (6): The water collected in the tub (2) during cleaning flows back to the pump below the support structure (4) and can be reused for the next washing process.

[0004] The ergonomic working method, water recycling and modular design ensure an economical and sustainable solution. How it works: 1. Supporting the profiles: The dirty profiles are placed on the removable support surface (3). 2. Pre-cleaning: Coarse dirt is removed using a cleaning gun. The resulting water is collected in the tank (2). 3. Cleaning: The profiles are cleaned manually with a hand brush. Due to the sufficient distance (5) between the support surface (3) and the tray (2), the brush can be moistened directly in the collected liquid. This ensures a continuous water supply without the need for an external water source. 4. Water treatment: The collected water flows through the structure of the stand (4) back to the pump and can be reused for the next washing process.

Claims

[1] Modular profile washbasin for cleaning plastic and aluminum profiles, comprising: ◯ a tray (2) for collecting and storing used water and for reducing splashing water, ◯ a tool-free removable support surface (3) for supporting the profiles, ◯ a tool-free removable framework (4) for the substructure of the support surface (3), ◯ a construction that provides a sufficient distance (5) between the support surface (3) and the tub (2) to allow the hand brush to be moistened during the cleaning process, ◯ a water guide (6) which returns the used water to the pump below the support structure (4). [2] Modular profile washbasin for cleaning plastic and aluminium profiles according to claim 1, characterized bythat the modular base frame (1) comprises a tray (2) which serves to catch and collect the used water, reduce splashing water and moisten the hand brush during the cleaning process.
