Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical field of vacuum cleaners and more particularly to separators according to the introductory part of claim 1.
  • Such a vacuum cleaner is shown in FR-A-670220.
  • Vacuum cleaners adapted for the suction of liquids require special provisions depending on whether solid particles (dust) and/or liquids (water) is/are to be sucked. Furthermore, with conventional vacuum cleaners, the suction of hot and incandescent particles (e.g. ash, welding cinder, close-burning coal etc.) is not possible.
  • the object of the invention therefore is to provide a separator for a vacuum cleaner which avoids the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • the aim of the invention is achieved by the measures proposed in the characterising part of claim 1.
  • the inventive separator is positioned vertically to the surface of the medium. Further embodiments and improvements of the invention are described in the subclaims.
  • the instant hydroactive separator of solid particles and liquids forms a diffusor at the ending of the suction tube, installed in the vacuum cleaner's container. All parts of the construction are solidly connected to each other.
  • the use of a flexible suction tube, eventually made of ribbed rubber (bellows) and/or the use of floats enabling the raise or fall of the separator - depending on the water level - is preferred.
  • CARRIER REINFORCEMENT 1 its function (purpose) is to reinforce the construction and to build a cylindrical diffusor.
  • LINKS 2 - present the hard connection between the protective cylinder 4 and the other parts of the separator.
  • DIFFUSOR 3 - forms the ending of the flexible suction tube 14.
  • PROTECTIVE CYLINDER 4 - a part of construction which has on its upper part a sectional conical surface, that directs the air current 9 to the protective cover 5.
  • PROTECTIVE COVER 5 prevents spraying of water onto the vacuum motor 12 inlet. Further sheet guides between said protective cover 5 and said vacuum motor 12 could be provided.
  • the cylindrical surface between the upper border of the protective cylinder 4 and the protective cover 5 is smaller than the cylindrical surface between the lower border of the protective cover brink and the surface of the liquid 7. Such a relation is necessary because of the decrease of the air current speed and enables separation of remaining water droplets from the air current (in consequence of gravity). On the borders of the protective cover 5, floats 6 are attached.
  • FLOATS 6 - enable the separator to maintain a constant position in relation to the water surface.
  • the water level, when the vacuum cleaner is off, has to cover the links 2.
  • the water presents the medium by means of which the solid particles, liquids and other materials can be separated from the air current 9.
  • the parts 1 to 5 may be held rigidly with respect to the housing 10.
  • Fig.3 presents a partial section of the separator and the function of the device when the vacuum cleaner is on.
  • the vacuum cleaner is turned on, and in consequence of the outside atmosphere effect in the suction tube 14, i.e. in the diffusor 3, the water level is lowered.
  • Particles of dust with bigger mass because of the centrifugal force, unable to be directed to the protective cylinder 4 and to the protective cover 5, rush into the water and sink down or are dispersed in the water.
  • Particles of dust with small mass to which centrifugal forces have no significant effect, are directed via the air current to the protective cover 5 and are trapped in sprayed water when coming in contact with it.
  • the conical part of the protective cylinder 4 enables extra whirling circulation where the rest of the light particles is trapped in water and thereby moved out of the air current.
  • liquids could be used, e.g. desinfectant liquids like cardi, or the like for avoiding a bacteriological pollution.
  • the liquid could be exchanged permanently via tubes (not shown).

Claims (10)

  1. Séparateur, pour des particules solides et liquides, travaillant à partir d'un courant d'air (9) applicable spécialement à des épurateurs travaillant sous vide, avec un milieu liquide séparateur/filtrant (7), de manière que - a l'état de filtration/séparation - le courant d'air (9) soit aspiré sur ledit milieu liquide (7), de manière à mettre les particules solides en contact avec le liquide et à les éliminer du courant d'air, le séparateur comprenant :
       un tube d'aspiration (11, 14) ayant une sortie à travers laquelle - à l'état de filtration/séparation - le courant d'air est guidé vers le milieu,
       caractérisé en ce que le tube d'aspiration (14) est flexible afin de permettre des déplacements verticaux de sa sortie, qui se présente sous la forme d'un diffuseur (3), et en ce que le diffuseur (3) est relié, via des liaisobns (2), à une jupe protectrice (4), le diffuseur (3) et la jupe protectrice (4) étant équipés de flotteurs (6) de manière à permettre la flottaison des diffuseurs (3) et de ma jupe protectrice (4) sur ledit milieu liquide - à l'état de filtration/séparation.
  2. Séparateur selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre : un couvercle protecteur (5) placé au-dessus de ladite jupe (4), ledit couvercle (5) étant relié à ladite sortie de ladite jupe (4) et ledit diffuseur (3) étant au moins partiellement immersible dans ledit milieu liquide (7).
  3. Séparateur selon la revendication 1 ou 2, dans lequel la jupe protectrice (4) comporte une partie supérieure conique destinée à guider le courant d'air (9) en direction du couvercle protecteur (5).
  4. Séparateur selon l'une des revendications 2 à 3, caractérisé en ce que les parties, reliées par la matière, constituées par le diffuseur (3), la jupe (4) et le couvercle (5), constituent des moyens permettant de diminuer la vitesse du courant d'air, de manière que la jupe (4) et le couvercle protecteur (5) prennent respectivement une forme discoïde et cylindrique.
  5. Séparateur selon la revendication 4, caractérisé en ce que l'aire couverte du milieu (7), entre la sortie du tube d'aspiration (14) et la jupe (4), est plus petite que l'aire couverte du milieu (7) se trouvant entre la jupe (4) et le couvercle protecteur (5) flottant sur le milieu (7).
  6. Séparateur selon la revendication 4, caractérisé en ce la surface cylindrique se trouvant entre la limite supérieure de la jupe protectrice (4) et le couvercle protecteur (5) est plus petite que la surface cylindrique se trouvant entre la limite inférieure du couvercle protecteur (5) et la surface du milieu (7), ou en ce que la surface cylindrique de la jupe protectrice (4) immergée dans le milieu liquide (7) est plus grande que la surface cylindrique de la jupe (4) restant au dessus du milieu liquide (7).
  7. Séparateur selon l'une des revendications précédentes, dans lequel les flotteurs (6) portent le poids de la sortie et de toutes les parties lui étant connectées et sont adaptés pour permettre aux liaisons (2) de venir en contact avec la surface du milieu (7) si le séparateur se trouve en état d'inactivité.
  8. Séparateur selon l'une des revendications précédentes, dans lequel le milieu et ou contient un désinfectant.
  9. Séparateur selon l'une des revendications précédentes, dans lequel les liaisons (2) ont une forme de pale d'ailetage, de manière à faire tourner le courant d'air (9) d'une façon analogue à celle d'un cyclone.
  10. Séparateur selon l'une des revendications précédentes, dans lequel la partie du tube d'aspiration (14) flexible est analogue à un soufflet.
