Automatic touchless (building and window) wash machine

Abstract

An automatic touchless washing machine is used for washing and cleaning all various types of buildings and windows. The machine dispenses, by a spray arm, high pressure water, chemical liquid, or dry-air from various storage tanks to wash areas of exterior surfaces of a building or a window. A controller controls the machine to automatically perform a wash program, step by step, without using hands. The controller further controls one or more wash functions by coordinating movements of the spray arm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1—Field of Invention

An automatic touchless washing machine dispenses high pressure water, foam (chemical liquid) and dry-air or wiper to automatically wash, clean, and dry external surfaces or windows of a building, without using hands.

2—Description of Related Art

Until now, the cleaning processes are doing manually (by hand) or limited process for all kinds of (buildings and windows) all over the world. Often this cleaning process will be complicated and dangerous especially in high buildings. It may cause deteriorating health, fear, faint, falling down and dying. Weather instability or lock of time is reasons for delaying or not doing the process of cleaning a Building or a window. Also the cleaning process by hand (manually) is slow. It takes a long time to clean a high building. The cleaning process by hand (manually) cannot be the same and may be making difference in cleaning on the surfaces of a building or windows.

Because of the difficulty and inertia of the cleaning process by hand (manually) or the lock of the time and sensitivity of the place, the high building or windows may be cleaned only once or several times annually but by this new invention an automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine have been solved these problems completely.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The washing machine of the present disclosure contains a carriage or carriages installed on a guide railway or parallel guide railways firmly attached on the surface wash areas of a building or a window (vertically, horizontally and rotationally around the building) as required. It is used for automatic washing, cleaning and drying, very quickly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) is a new invention. The automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) includes a spray arm (114) which is fixed on a carriage, for example, a slide carriage (104) or a single carriage (105) capable of moving relatively on the guide rails, for example, middle rail (106A of FIG. 3) is a single-rail rail for not containing a belt position column 140, and middle rails (106A) that are firmly attached to the surfaces of a building or a window while the spray arm (114) dispensing various fluids in a programmed method. In general, carriage movement includes three degrees of motion according to patterns of rails: vertical carriage motion from vertical rails; horizontal carriage motion from horizontal rails; and circling carriage motion from rails surrounding a building. This invention can be described as follows: A. The automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) may be used for different types of buildings (100) or windows (103). The automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) is used for washing and cleaning the buildings and windows automatically without using hands, as illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. B. The spray arm (114) comprises three various types of metal or plastic pipes.

Automatic Touchless (Building and window) Wash Machine (101), is an automatic type operationally on the surface's wash area of a building (100), wherein the carriages such as the Slide Carriages (104) is essentially arranged with respect to vertical moveable from top to bottom or vice versa on the parallel single rails (107) and middle rails (106A), in short the carriage movement is arranged according to installing railways direction including (vertical movement, horizontal movement and rotationally movement around the surface of a building or windows). Vertical movement as illustrated in FIG. 1.

Railways such as single railways (107) and middle railways (106A) consisting of spaced-apart parallel, and vertically, horizontally and rotationally installed and extended guide rails as required. As illustrated in FIG. 1.

Carriages such as slide carriages (104) and single carriages (105) are installed on the parallel railways such as (107) and (106A) orthogonal on rails, allowing vertically or horizontally movement along the railways during various phases of operation. As illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2.

As used herein, the term “automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine” (101) is used [to] for internal and external buildings and windows, including highest, lowest, biggest or smallest buildings and windows. The term “building wash operation steps”, for example, see block (180), FIG. 6, is used for cleaning a building or a window. A simple wash sequence or a complex wash sequence may be manually or automatically selected by a selector switch and activation system (171).

The spray arm (114) is consists three metal or plastic pipes as (120A, 121A, 122A) fixed in carriages such as a slide carriage (104) and a single carriage (105), also can be adding a wiper (133) to single carriages (105) and screwed a wiper (133) on the single carriage (105) especially using for wiping the internal windows as required. As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4.

According to this invention, spray arm (114) consists of three pipes (120A, 121A, 122A) for dispensing various fluids including water, foam and high pressure dry-air. Carriages move vertically from top to bottom or vice versa on the external surfaces of a building including walls and windows, or using for internal building such as windows, at this time can be added a wiper (133) for a single carriage (105), including (wash and wipe), while providing fluids to the carriage pipes. As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4.

The Automatic Touchless Window Wash Machine (101) is used only for windows, can be extract fluids and air-dry from two sources:

A. Main storage fluid tanks (154,156,158) installing on the very top floor roof or put on/under the ground level. As illustrated in FIG. 1.

B. Secondary small storage Tank (173) mounted in the metal or plastic parking trench (136).

As illustrated in FIG. 2.

In this invention, the automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) can also be used for internal building, can be installed with a wiper (133) or the high pressure air-dry metal pipe (122A), or both of them can be used in the same carriage (105). The wiper (133) is connected and adjustable with a single carriage (105) by screw timing (130) and belt connector (152). As illustrated in FIG. 2.

Wiper (133) is working automatically with helping limit switch used to performing wiping window's surface wash area after dispensing water and/or liquids for washing steps, the Wiper (133) which attached with upper side of a single carriage (105) may be moved automatically upward and toward the window's surface wash area by installing various small motor driven wiper operator (150) mounted on top of the middle single carriage (105), it is programmable by the controller and using sensor. As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4.

Automatic touchless (building and window) washing machine (101) is used for internal and external windows (103) in a building but for internal windows can be adding wiper (133) instead of air-dry high pressure (122A) and it is adjusting and connecting by adjustable screws wiper (130) with the various belt connector (152). As illustrated in FIG. 2.
