摘要： Modular components form a robotic assembly, the mod-components include modules and tools, each have a set of functions and capabilities, are rapidly configured-reconfigured to function cooperatively, creating a configurable robotic assemblage. Each mod-component incorporates a standardized connector mating with any other standardized connector in an interchangeable manner providing mechanical stability, power, and signals therebetween. Each mod-component incorporates a processor, data storage for mod-component identity, status, and programmable functionality, and for responding to commands. Storage is reprogrammed while the robot is operational, altering both commands and responses. After interconnection, inter-module power and communication are established and each modular component identifies itself and its functionality, thereby providing “plug and play” configuration.

摘要： A gutter-cleaning device includes a body defining a forward drive direction and configured to fit into a residential gutter. The device also includes a drive system supporting the body and configured to maneuver across the gutter. A driven impeller disposed on the body defines an axis of rotation. The impeller has at least one agitator oriented about the axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is arranged at an angle to the forward drive direction to aim toward an inside corner of the gutter to eject agitated debris from the gutter and away from the impeller.

摘要： A cleaning shuttle is conveyed through a channel by magnetic attraction to a conveyance device that is slidably positioned outside the channel. The conveyance device pulls the cleaning shuttle through the channel by magnetic attraction between the conveyance device and the cleaning shuttle. The cleaning shuttle inside the channel, and the conveyance device positioned outside the channel, have significant magnetic attraction for each other, so that the cleaning shuttle is pulled through the channel by conveyance device without becoming lodged or stuck in the channel.

摘要： Drain Cleaning Apparatus for rotating a drain cleaning snake comprises a frame and housing assembly supporting an axially displaceable clutch actuating shaft which supports a first clutch actuator for rotation relative thereto and axial displacement therewith. A second clutch actuator is coaxial with the first actuator and supported in the housing for rotation relative thereto. A radially expandable and contractible clutch is captured between the two clutch actuators for engaging and disengaging a drain cleaning snake extending therethrough. A motor drives the first clutch actuator through a transmission pulley and belt arrangement in which the belt is axially slidable relative to a pulley in response to axial displacement of the first clutch actuator relative to the second clutch actuator. The clutch and second clutch actuator are in a shroud at one end of the housing, and the axial position of the second actuator relative to the first actuator is adjustable. The shroud is mounted on the flame to facilitate removal and replacement of the clutch and access to the second clutch actuator, and a housing portion adjacent the shroud is removable to provide access to the transmission components.

摘要： An improved pipe cleaning tool employing a cutting head and propulsor utilizes a plurality of roller cutters on the cutting head. The rolling cutters are coupled in a pairwise fashion to a rotatable car. The rotatable car in turn is pivoted to the cutting head. Each of the cars and, hence, the radial disposition of each of the roller cutters, is resiliently urged by a spring bias into a preferred radial disposition relative to the longitudinal axis of the cutting head. Moving the pipe cleaning tool through a curve or past other internal obstruction within the pipe is facilitated by rotation of the roller cutter cars and their corresponding roller cutters. In one embodiment, the propulsor disks in the propulsor unit are comprised of a plurality of rigid metal segments pivoted to the propulsor body. The propulsor disk segments rotate on the propulsor unit both during the oscillatory forward motion of the pipe cleaning tool as well as during the turning through a bend or past some other internal obstruction within the pipe. Some of the propulsor segments may also be provided with a plurality of peripheral nozzle cuts for defining fluid jets in the fluid flow passing the pipe cleaning tool. A rotatable tracker is combined with the tool to provide an electromagnetic signal directly indicating flow of fluid past the tool.
