Description

Beschreibung der zum Gebrauchsmusterschutz angemeldeten Vorrichtung:Description of the device for which utility model protection is applied for:

Aus Gründen der Unfallverhütung besteht in Deutschland die Pflicht, an bestimmten Kommunalfahrzeugen, insbesondere Müllsammeifahrzeugen und Kehrmaschinen am Heck mit einer Kamera auszurüsten, die mittels eines Weitwinkelobjektives den Rückraum des Fahrzeuges aufnimmt und das Bild auf einen im Fahrerhaus angebrachten Monitor leitet. Aber auch an anderen Stellen , so z. B. Einfülltrichter von Müllpressen oder bei Frontladern werden solche Kameras angebrachtFor accident prevention reasons, there is a requirement in Germany to equip certain municipal vehicles, particularly garbage collection vehicles and sweepers, with a camera on the rear that uses a wide-angle lens to record the rear of the vehicle and sends the image to a monitor installed in the driver's cab. But such cameras are also installed in other places, such as the filling funnels of garbage presses or on front loaders.

Besonders bei Regen oder Schneefall verschmutzt das Objektiv der Kamera durch aufgewirbelten Straßenschmutz oder andere Staubpartikel sehr stark, so dass die Wirksamkeit der Einrichtung nicht mehr gegeben ist. Eine häufige Reinigung des Kameraobjektives -bislang von Hand- ist deshalb erforderlich. Da diese in aller Regel mit einem trockenem Tuch erfolgt, entstehen sehr schnell Kratzer auf dem Objektiv und die Qualität des Monitorbildes wird negativ beeinflusst..Especially when it rains or snows, the camera lens becomes very dirty due to street dirt or other dust particles, so that the device is no longer effective. The camera lens must therefore be cleaned frequently - previously by hand. As this is usually done with a dry cloth, scratches quickly appear on the lens and the quality of the monitor image is negatively affected.

Um diesem Umstand abzuhelfen wird an der Rückseite des Fahrzeuges oder in der Nähe der Kamera eine Waschanlage, wie sie im Automobilbau für die Reinigung von Front- und Heckscheiben oder Scheinwerfern verwendet wird, angebracht. Die Waschdüsen werden an der Kamera montiert und durch eine Schlauchleitung mit der Waschmittelpumpe verbunden.To remedy this situation, a washer system, such as those used in automobile manufacturing for cleaning front and rear windows or headlights, is installed at the rear of the vehicle or near the camera. The washer nozzles are mounted on the camera and connected to the washer pump by a hose line.

Die elektrische Zuleitung wird von einem Schalter am Armaturenbrett im Fahrerhaus zum Heck an die Waschmittelpumpe geführt. Im Bedarfsfall kann somit die Waschmittelpumpe vom Fahrerhaus aus in Gang gesetzt werden. Der an den Waschdüsen austretende Wasserstrahl reinigt das Kameraobjektiv gründlich und ohne Beeinträchtigung der Oberfläche. Eine ungetrübte, sichere Überwachung des Fahrzeugrückraumes ist damit gewährleistet. Bei anderen Montageplätzen kann ein Intervallschalter in der elektrischen Zuleitung einen kontinuierlichen Waschvorgang auslösen.The electrical supply line is led from a switch on the dashboard in the driver's cab to the rear of the washer pump. If necessary, the washer pump can be started from the driver's cab. The water jet coming out of the washer nozzles cleans the camera lens thoroughly and without damaging the surface. This ensures unobstructed, safe monitoring of the rear of the vehicle. At other installation locations, an interval switch in the electrical supply line can trigger a continuous washing process.

Die Wascheinrichtung für Überwachungskameras die betätigt vom Fahrerhaus eines Lastkraftwagens, zu jedem Zeitpunkt des Gebrauches, das Objektiv der Überwachungskamera hinreichend reinigt, um den Überwachungsraum auf dem Kontrollmonitor klar und deutlich abzubilden ist gekennzeichnet durch einen Kunststofftank mit ca. 1,5 ltr. Fassungsvermögen zur Aufnahme des Waschmittels (mit Tensiden angereichertes Wasser), einer an den Tank adaptierten Impellerpumpe mit 12 oder 24 Volt Elektromotor, der an das Bordnetz des Fahrzeuges bzw. der Arbeitsmaschine angeschlossen ist.
Die Plusleitung wird über das Armaturenbrett im Fahrerhaus und dort über einen Schalter geführt. Bei Betätigung des Schalters wird der Stromkreis geschlossen und die Pumpe in Betrieb gesetzt.
Die Druckleitung der Pumpe wird an eine Strahldüse mit einem Abspritzwinkel von 30 bis 50 Grad geführt, die in unmittelbarer Nähe des Kameraobjektes angebracht ist.
Zum Zeitpunkt des Bedarfs wird ein Wasserstrahl ausgelöst, der das Kameraobjektiv reinigt. Dadurch wird wieder eine einwandfreie Sicht auf den Überwachungsraum möglich. Die Rückwärtsfahrt des Fahrzeuges (der Arbeitsmaschine) ist gefahrlos gegeben.
The washing device for surveillance cameras, which is operated from the driver's cab of a truck and cleans the lens of the surveillance camera sufficiently at any time of use in order to clearly display the surveillance area on the control monitor, is characterized by a plastic tank with a capacity of approx. 1.5 liters to hold the detergent (water enriched with surfactants), an impeller pump adapted to the tank with a 12 or 24 volt electric motor, which is connected to the on-board power supply of the vehicle or the work machine.
The positive cable is routed through the dashboard in the driver's cab and there through a switch. When the switch is operated, the circuit is closed and the pump starts operating.
The pressure line of the pump is led to a jet nozzle with a spray angle of 30 to 50 degrees, which is installed in the immediate vicinity of the camera object.
When necessary, a water jet is released to clean the camera lens. This allows a clear view of the monitoring area again. The vehicle (the work machine) can be reversed without any danger.
