AI Technical Summary
Existing pressure washing systems require frequent manual relocation of heavy cleaning machines and hoses, leading to personnel shortages, safety hazards, and inefficiencies due to the need for constant maneuvering and setup, especially in large facilities.
A centralized cleaning system with stationary cleaning machines and distributed connections, along with pressure controllers and water tanks, allowing hoses to be connected to fixed points for cleaning, reducing the need for machine movement and enabling controlled water pressure.
Enhances operational safety, reduces personnel burden, minimizes equipment breakdowns, and increases productivity by eliminating the need for machine relocation, while optimizing water consumption and cleaning time.
Abstract
Description
High-pressure water cleaning system Field of invention The present invention relates to a pressurized water cleaning system, comprising one or more pressurized water cleaning machines, and which can be used, for example, in farms, vehicle washes, industrial buildings, etc. Background of the invention Pressure washing is commonly used in various types of facilities, such as farms, vehicle washes, industrial buildings, etc. For example, on a farm, cleaning tasks need to be carried out several times a day for proper maintenance. This cleaning is usually done with pressure washers. In order to transport these cleaning machines inside the facility, they include wheels, but these have the disadvantage that over time they deteriorate and rather than rolling around the building, they are dragged. To carry out the cleaning, the operators move the machines through the facility, and require a large number of meters of high-pressure flexible pipe, which is heavy and difficult to handle, having to perform this maneuver every time they finish an area and have to pick everything up again and move it again, several times a day. This creates, firstly, personnel problems, since there are currently no people willing to perform these tasks because it is a thankless job, as it involves constantly moving a significant amount of weight. For example, for this type of cleaning, a high-pressure water machine weighing approximately 65 kg is used, along with poorly coiled 30 / 40 meter high-pressure hoses weighing around 35 / 40 kg, and all of this has to be dragged every time the operators move from one area of the facility to another, for example, about 50 meters each time. Added to this is the danger of working in a humid environment, since the machine used for cleaning has a motor and is constantly exposed to the direct jet of pressurized water. Description of the invention Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a pressure water cleaning system in which it is not necessary to move the pressure water cleaning machines throughout the facility, with the consequent saving of time and convenience for users. The cleaning system of the invention solves the aforementioned problems, while also offering other advantages that will be described below. The cleaning system according to the present invention is described in claim 1, and the dependent claims include additional features that are optional. In particular, the pressure water cleaning system comprises one or more cleaning machines and a plurality of connections for connecting hoses, the connections being located separately from the one or more cleaning machines. Preferably, the one or more cleaning machines are located in a machine room and the plurality of connections are located outside the machine room in different places of the installation to be cleaned. Furthermore, the pressurised water cleaning system according to the present invention also preferably comprises one or more water tanks connected to one or more cleaning machines, wherein the one or more water tanks are preferably located in the engine room. The pressurised water cleaning system according to the present invention may also comprise one or more pressure controllers for controlling the water pressure supplied to the connections, which are preferably located between the one or more cleaning machines and the connections. Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment, one or more cleaning machines are placed on a bench. With the cleaning system according to the present invention, washing times are reduced because it is not necessary to move the pressure water cleaning machines along the installation, since it is only necessary to move the hoses. In addition, water consumption is lower, since water availability can be controlled. On the other hand, by not moving the cleaning machines and by not depending on the start-up and stop-up of the cleaning equipment, equipment breakdowns are reduced exponentially. Furthermore, reducing the time required to clean the facility's rooms translates into increased productivity for both staff and animals, in the case of its use on a farm, since by finishing the cleaning sooner, the animals can be put back into production sooner. Brief description of the drawings For a better understanding of what has been explained, some drawings are included which, schematically and only as a non-limiting example, represent a practical case of implementation. Figure 1 is a block diagram view of the components of the pressurised water cleaning system according to the present invention. Description of a preferred embodiment Figure 1 shows the components of the pressurized water cleaning system according to the present invention, in a block diagram. The cleaning system according to the present invention comprises one or more cleaning machines (1), which are located in a machine room (2), for example, on a bench (3). These cleaning machines (1) are conventional pressure water cleaning machines, so they are not described in detail, and are connected to one or more water tanks (4), which are preferably also located inside the engine room (2). These water tanks (4) receive water from a supply network (5) so that there is always the appropriate amount of water in the water tanks (4) to carry out the cleaning tasks. The number of cleaning machines (1) and water tanks (4) is variable, and can be any suitable number depending on the dimensions of the installation. For simplicity, Figure 1 shows two cleaning machines (1) and one water tank (4). The cleaning system according to the present invention also comprises a plurality of connections (6), through which pressurized water from the cleaning machines (1) flows out when a hose (7) is connected. These connections (6) are appropriately distributed throughout the installation so that operators can connect the hoses (7) near the areas of the installation that need to be cleaned and outside the engine room (2). As shown in Figure 1, between the cleaning machines (1) and the connections (6) one or more pressure controllers or sensors (8) are preferably placed, which allow the water outlet pressure to be regulated according to the cleaning needs. The entire cleaning system can be controlled by a central control unit, not shown in Figure 1, to monitor the operation of the cleaning system at all times, for example, by controlling the water pressure, the operating time of each cleaning machine, as well as the water consumption used in cleaning each area of the installation. In this way, the operation of the cleaning system according to the present invention is very simple, since the operator simply has to connect a hose (7) to the connection (6) closest to the installation area to be cleaned, without having to move the cleaning machine (1), which is in a fixed position in the machine room (2). Furthermore, the water pressure can be automatically regulated by the pressure controllers (8) located at the outlet of the cleaning machines (1) to optimize water consumption according to the cleaning needs of the facility.
