Retracting device with hose guide for retracting a hose, vehicle provided therewith and method therefor
A retracting device, vehicle provided therewith and method for retracting a hose. The retracting device includes a frame, a retraction drive connected to the frame for retracting the hose, a coupling configured to couple the frame to a container, and a displacement drive configured to displace the frame relative to the container such that the retracted hose can be placed in the container. The retracting device further includes a hose guide configured to guide the hose for retraction to the retraction drive, and the hose guide is displaceable in operative connection to the frame.
1. A retracting device for retracting a hose, the device comprising:
a frame;
a retraction drive connected to the frame, the retraction drive for retracting the hose;
a coupling configured to couple the frame to a container, and a displacement drive configured to displace the frame relative to the container such that the retracted hose can be placed in the container; and
a hose guide configured to guide the hose for retraction via the retraction drive, wherein the hose guide is displaceable in operative connection to the frame;
wherein the frame is further provided with a lifting system configured to move the frame between a transport position and a retracting position.
2. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is provided with a guide for displacing the retraction drive relative to the frame.
3. The retracting device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the frame is further provided with a lifting system configured to move the frame between a transport position and a retracting position.
4. The retracting device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lifting system comprises a scissor mechanism.
5. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lifting system comprises a scissor mechanism.
6. The retracting device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the coupling comprises a locking pawl.
7. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling comprises a toothing.
8. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling comprises a locking pawl.
9. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hose guide is fixedly connected to the frame.
10. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a rotation mechanism for rotating the retraction drive relative to the frame.
11. The retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retraction drive comprises:
a drive roller; and
a pressing element configured to retract the hose in co-action with the drive roller.
12. A vehicle provided with a retracting device as claimed in claim 1 , and a container configured to store the retracted hose.
13. A The vehicle as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the container comprises a guide for displacing the frame using the displacement drive.
14. The vehicle as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the frame is further provided with a lifting system configured to move the frame between a transport position and a retracting position.
15. The vehicle as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the lifting system comprises a scissor mechanism.
16. A method for retracting a hose, comprising:
providing at least one of a retracting device, and vehicle as claimed in claim 1 ; and
retracting the hose with the retracting device.
17. The method as claimed in claim 16 , further comprising moving the retracting device from a transport position to a retracting position.
18. The method as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising carrying a start of the hose for retraction into the retracting device prior to moving the retracting device to a complete retracting position.
19. The method as claimed in claim 16 , further comprising moving the retracting device relative to the container during retraction of the hose such that a predetermined folding pattern is followed, along which the hose is carried into the container.
