Abstract
Retrofit box systems to maximize operational capacity of inaccessible floors are described. The retrofit box system includes a gate complex that provides fluid communication between an inaccessible floor and a box, and a box to deliver a cleaner to the inaccessible floor and adapted for equalizing pressure when the inaccessible floor is under water while minimizing waste seepage from the retrofit box system. The retrofit box system further includes a power system and a control system to deliver the cleaner to the inaccessible floor and remove waste from the inaccessible floor and the box.
Claims19
A cleaning system for cleaning a floor of a closed liquid filled system having a volume, the system comprising:
- a cleaner;
- a first waste discharge line;
- the first waste discharge line attached to the cleaner;
- a deployment chamber;
- the deployment chamber having at least one aperture;
- the deployment chamber having an interior volume;
- the deployment chamber configured to hold the cleaner within the interior volume of the deployment chamber;
- wherein the deployment chamber is configured to be attached to the closed system;
- a wash chamber;
- the wash chamber having at least one aperture;
- wherein the wash chamber is configured to be attached to the deployment chamber;
- wherein the first waste discharge line is configured to extend through the at least one
- aperture of the deployment chamber and through the at least one aperture of the wash chamber;
- wherein the deployment chamber is configured to selectively deploy the cleaner into the closed system and onto the floor in order to clean the floor;
- wherein waste removed from the floor by the cleaner is pumped through the first waste discharge line and through the deployment chamber.
A cleaning system for cleaning a floor of a closed liquid filled system having a volume, the system comprising:
- a gate complex;
- wherein the gate complex is connected to the closed system;
- wherein the gate complex is configured to allow selective access into the closed system;
- a cleaner;
- a first waste discharge line;
- the first waste discharge line attached to the cleaner;
- a box;
- the box having at least one aperture;
- the box having an interior volume;
- the box configured to hold the cleaner within the interior volume of the box;
- wherein the box is configured to be attached to the gate complex;
- wherein the first waste discharge line is configured to extend through the at least one aperture of the box;
- wherein the box is configured to selectively deploy the cleaner through the gate complex, into the closed system, and onto the floor in order to clean the floor;
- and
- wherein waste removed from the floor by the cleaner is pumped through the first waste discharge line and through the box.
A cleaning system for cleaning a floor of a closed liquid filled system having a volume, the system comprising:
- a gate;
- wherein the gate is connected to the closed system;
- wherein the gate is configured to be selectively moved between an open position and a closed position;
- a cleaner;
- a box;
- the box having an interior volume;
- the box configured to hold the cleaner within the interior volume of the box;
- wherein the box is configured to attach to the gate;
- wherein the box is configured to selectively receive and contain the cleaner within the interior volume of the box prior to cleaning the floor;
- wherein when the gate is moved to the open position, liquid from within the closed liquid filled system flows into the interior volume of the box;
- wherein when the interior volume of the box is at least partially filled with liquid, the box is configured to selectively deploy the cleaner into the closed system and onto the floor in order to clean the floor;
- wherein the box is configured to selectively receive and contain the cleaner within the interior volume of the box after cleaning the floor;
- wherein when the cleaner is received and contained within the interior volume of the box after cleaning the floor, the gate is moved to the closed position and liquid within the interior volume of the box is drained.
