Definitions
- the invention relates to a liquid suction device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Liquid suction devices are used to hold washing liquids that have been applied to dirty floor surfaces for cleaning.
- the liquid is sucked up by means of a suction air flow via a suction line with a suction tool attached to it and collected in the receptacle.
- the interior of the receptacle is in direct flow connection with the motor suction fan.
- the liquid level of the dirty liquid collected in the receptacle must be monitored and limited to a maximum permissible filling level.
- a float valve arranged inside the liquid holding container is provided in the flow path to the suction fan. With increasing filling level, the valve body is moved against the suction opening of the suction fan, to finally close it when a maximum fill level is reached. Due to the absence of suction on the suction tool and the increase in speed of the motor suction fan associated with a change in noise, the personnel working with the suction device are advised of the need to empty the liquid holding container.
- the electrical conductivity of the sucked-up dirty water between two insulated sensors is evaluated to determine the fill level.
- the flowing electrical measuring current is fed to a signal processing system and evaluated in connection with a display to switch off the motor suction fan.
- the known wet vacuum cleaners have the disadvantage that the liquid level in the receptacle, which is exposed to the suction air flow, is excited to cause a strong wave movement. Furthermore, a strong foaming of the dirty water interspersed with detergent must often be found. Both effects lead to a very unsatisfactory level detection due to the sloshing movements. The wet vacuum frequently switches off for an emptying of the liquid container which is not yet necessary, which results in unnecessary interruptions in work.
- the invention has for its object to develop a wet vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1 such that an accurate fill level detection of the dirty water in the receptacle is achieved with high security against suction of foam or liquid in the motor suction fan.
- Fill level detection can be carried out in a simple manner by means of the light barrier directed at the liquid level. It is advantageously provided that a reflection light barrier is arranged as a light barrier, to which a reflector is assigned at the level of the maximum fill level in the receptacle. This reflector is attached to the inner wall of the receptacle and is washed over by the dirty water when the liquid level rises above the maximum fill level. The reflection property of the reflector is reduced, as a result of which the light beam emitted by the transmitter of the light barrier is not or only very slightly reflected. The receiver registers the strong reduction in intensity or the absence of the reflected light beam and emits a corresponding output signal, which is advantageously evaluated for triggering an empty indicator and for switching off the motor suction fan.
- the light barrier is optically coupled to one end of a light-conducting rod, the other end of which acts as a retro reflector and projects axially into the receptacle up to the level of the maximum fill level.
- the emitted light beam is reflected on the preferably hemispherical head of the free rod end to the receiver and evaluated accordingly. If the dirty water floods the free end of the rod, its reflective properties change and the light beam emitted by the transmitter is not or only partially reflected to the receiver. The correspondingly changed output signal of the receiver is evaluated to control a display and to stop the motor suction fan.
- the liquid suction device 1 shown in FIG. 1 essentially consists of a liquid receiving container 2 which is arranged on a chassis 3.
- the cup-shaped receptacle 2 is closed airtight by a cover part 4, in which a motor suction fan (not shown in detail) and electrical switching devices and a display 6 are integrated.
- the cover part 4 has a suction nozzle 5 which is connected in terms of flow via a suction line, not shown, to a suction tool, also not shown.
- a light barrier 8 is arranged on the inside of the cover part 4 facing the interior of the receptacle.
- the light barrier 8 is a reflection light barrier.
- the emitted light beam 15 is reflected on a reflector 10 and falls as a reflected light beam 16 onto the receiver of the light barrier 8, which is arranged near the transmitter, preferably integrated with it in a common protective housing.
- the motor suction fan In operation of the liquid suction device 1, the motor suction fan generates a suction air flow that runs from the suction cleaning tool via the suction line, the suction nozzle 5, the interior of the liquid holding container 2 to the motor suction fan. Sucked-up liquid is separated in the liquid holding container 2, the liquid level increasing accordingly during operation.
- the light beam 15 emitted by the transmitter 17 (FIG. 3) of the light barrier 8 is reflected by the reflector 10 and falls as reflected light beam 16 on the receiver 18 (Fig. 3).
- the signal generated in the receiver is processed in an electronic evaluation circuit, which enables the motor suction fan to operate.
- the receiver will switch a switch (transistor or the like) to a first operating state in which the motor suction fan is activated and the display 6 has gone out. If the reflected light beam 16 strikes the receiver with reduced intensity, the receiver will change the switching state when the value falls below a limit value, as a result of which the motor suction fan is blocked and the display 6 is activated. Therefore, when the liquid collected in the receptacle reaches the maximum filling level, the reflector 10 is washed over by the dirty liquid. This changes the reflection property, so that the incident light beam 15 is weakened or not reflected at all. The missing light beam 16 or the light beam 16 reflected with reduced intensity causes a signal change in the receiver. This signal change is processed in the electronic evaluation circuit and leads to the motor suction fan being switched off and the display 6 being activated, which indicates the necessary emptying of the liquid receptacle.
- a switch transistor or the like
- a circumferential annular bead 11 can be provided as the reflector 10 on the inner wall 9 of the liquid receptacle, which is preferably made in one piece with the receptacle 2.
- the annular bead 11 has an approximately horizontal surface 12 facing the opening of the receptacle 2, which is designed as a retro reflection surface for the emitted light beam 15 of the light barrier 8.
- the over the inner circumference of the receptacle 2 extending reflection surface has the advantage that a certain rotational position of the cover part 4 with respect to the vertical axis is not necessary. In each rotational position of the cover part 4, the light barrier 8 faces a reflection surface.
- the light barrier 8 is arranged in a common housing.
- the transmitter 17 and the receiver 18 are each spatially separated from one another by a cover sleeve 19, 22.
- a cover sleeve 19, 22 In the bottom of the housing 20 - preferably surrounding the receiver or the transmitter - flow openings 23 are provided, through which a small blowing air stream flows in from the ambient air via supply air openings in the cover part, so that foam flakes and dirt particles are blown away, which increases the functional reliability. Since there is 2 negative pressure in the interior of the collecting container, the blown air flow is easily achieved without further technical measures.
- a plurality of reflectors 10, 10a, 10b are preferably provided in the receptacle 2 at different heights, with each reflector 10, 10a, 10b being assigned its own light barrier 8, 8a, 8b.
- Each of the reflection light barriers 8, 8a, 8b is connected to the electronic evaluation circuit Displays 6, 6a, 6b connected and switched in such a way that different filling levels that occur during operation can be recognized in sequence by the displays 6, 6a, 6b. The operating personnel is thus informed in detail about the current fill level in the receptacle 2.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- a reflection rod 24 is fastened to the cover part 4 and projects axially into the interior of the liquid holding container 2.
- the reflection rod 24 is preferably made of a transparent material such as glass or plastic.
- the free end 26 of the rod 24 is approximately at the level of the maximum permissible liquid level.
- a reflection light barrier 8 with its transmitter 17 and its receiver 18 is attached to the end 25 (FIG. 5) of the transparent rod 24 adjacent to the cover part 4 and is optically coupled to the transparent rod 24.
- the light beam emitted by the transmitter 17 is reflected on the end face of the free rod end 26 and reflected back onto the receiver 18 as a reflected light beam.
- the suction device is preferably put out of operation while the required emptying of the liquid receptacle 2 is displayed at the same time.
- the refractive index in the transparent rod 24 at its interface with the air must be higher than the refractive index of the air, so that an almost total reflection occurs and the emitted light beam is completely reflected to the receiver 18. If the refractive index of the transparent rod material is approximately as large as that of the water flowing around the rod end, the critical angle reaches approximately 90 °. This means that the light beam to be reflected is lost and no light radiation hits the receiver.
- the protective tube 30 prevents disruptive light reflections on the transparent rod 24.
- the inner diameter of the protective tube is larger than the outer diameter of the transparent rod 24. This prevents the capillary action of the water and the foam from having any effects. Air flows in through the inflow openings 23 arranged in the housing 20 of the light barrier and keeps the annular gap between the rod 24 and the protective tube 30 and the rod 24 itself free of foam particles and dirt particles.
- a protective basket 31 is also advantageously attached to the cover part 4, which receives the reflection rod and which protects the rod 24 from mechanical damage when the cover part 4 removed from the liquid holding container 2 is put down.
- the protective cage 31 can be formed from an open wire mesh or another mesh with a plurality of openings in its wall.
- FIG. 6 A further exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 6.
- a guide rod 32 projecting axially into the liquid holding container 2 is fastened, on which a float 33 is mounted with its guide sleeve 36 in a slightly movable manner and rests against a stop plate 37 in its lowest position.
- a reflection light barrier 8 is arranged in the cover part 4 such that the light beam emitted by the transmitter 17 strikes the surface of the float 33 facing the light barrier.
- the surface is designed as a reflection surface and reflects the incoming light beam onto the receiver 18 of the light barrier 8.
- the float 33 is axially upwards by the liquid against the cover part 4 and against the light barrier 8 emotional.
- the float 33 remains floating in a horizontal position on the liquid surface even with sloshing movements of the inflowing liquid, so that the light beam running from the transmitter 17 to the receiver 18 of the light barrier 8 is reflected without interference.
- This shortening of the transit time can be processed in a corresponding electronic evaluation circuit and evaluated to display and / or control the engine blower . Since the shortened distance is also expressed in an increase in the intensity of the reflected light beam, a limit value can be specified in a simple manner, when exceeded the evaluation circuit switches through, the display 6 is activated and the motor suction fan is switched off.
- a restart of the motor suction fan switched off after the maximum fill level has been reached by the evaluation circuit is advantageously only possible after a so-called restart lock has been released.
- the light radiation from the light barrier 8 is in the infrared range.
- the output signal of the receiver of the light barrier is only evaluated when it is present for a certain period of time.
- the period of time is chosen so that occasional spillover certainly precludes the evaluation circuit from responding.
- a reflection light barrier is described as the light barrier 8.
- a light barrier is particularly well suited because all electrical parts can be arranged on the removable cover part 4, so plug connections are not required.
- the arrangement of a fork light barrier is advantageous, in which the transmitter is attached, for example, to the cover part 4 and the receiver, for example, to the inner wall of the receptacle 2. It is then only necessary, for example, to ensure an electrical connection of the receiver to the evaluation circuit in the cover part via a plug connection.
