Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cleaning device of the type mentioned is known from PCT / EP98 / 00417.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a cleaning device of the type mentioned.
  • this object is achieved in a cleaning device of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the cleaning device has several advantages.
  • An important advantage of the invention is that after the end of a cleaning process, the cleaning liquid present in the cleaning tub, including the impurities contained in the cleaning liquid, is led to the drain line due to a corresponding inclination of the walls of the cleaning tub in order to flow back into the cleaning liquid container.
  • all walls of the cleaning trough have an angle of inclination to a horizontal plane, which ensures that the downward slope of the cleaning liquid with or without impurities to the drain line exceeds the adhesive force of the cleaning liquid on the walls.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that all the walls of the cleaning trough have an angle of inclination to a horizontal plane, which ensures that the downward force of the cleaning liquid to the drain line exceeds the surface tension of the cleaning liquid.
  • the complete drainage of the cleaning liquid from the cleaning trough prevents the user of the cleaning device from being disturbed by evaporation of alcohol components contained in the cleaning liquid.
  • the outflow rate of the cleaning liquid from the cleaning trough is increased in such a way that the cleaning liquid and the contamination cannot separate. The result of this is that a clean cleaning trough remains after the cleaning process has ended and the cleaning liquid with the contaminants has drained away.
  • the cleaning trough is arranged in the housing at an angle of inclination ⁇ and ⁇ to the horizontal plane.
  • a major advantage of this measure which simplifies the manufacture of a cleaning device, is that the object to be cleaned is also inclined with the inclination of the cleaning trough in accordance with the angle of inclination, as a result of which the cleaning fluid flows away from and out of the object, for example from the cutting head of a shaver to be cleaned ,
  • a drainage of cleaning liquid from the cleaning trough is ensured in that the trough bottom of the cleaning trough is oriented in the direction of the drain line at an angle of inclination ⁇ to the horizontal plane.
  • This measure can be provided in an already inclined cleaning trough to increase the flow rate of the cleaning liquid to the drain line and ensures, in particular in the case of a cleaning trough not inclined, that the cleaning liquid flows off to the drain line.
  • the transition from a side wall to a bottom wall of the cleaning trough is designed in an arcuate manner.
  • the size of the angle of inclination of a cleaning pan inclined to a horizontal plane or of a pan floor oriented inclined to a horizontal plane, for example a cleaning pan not inclined, is due to the numerous influencing factors to be taken into account, such as, for. B. the surface tension and / or adhesive force and composition of the cleaning liquid, for example the proportion in particular of alcohol, lubricant, water and surfactants for the respective embodiment to determine and determine by practical tests.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ and ⁇ can be changed by changing the surface tension of the cleaning liquid.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ and ⁇ can be changed by changing the adhesive force of the cleaning liquid.
  • an angle of inclination ensuring a sufficient flow rate can be influenced by the fact that the surface tension of the cleaning liquid can be changed chemically.
  • Flow velocity and angle of inclination can also be influenced in that the adhesive force of the cleaning liquid can be changed chemically.
  • it is provided that the surface tension and / or adhesive force of the cleaning liquid can be reduced by adding surfactants to the cleaning liquid.
  • the surface tension and / or adhesive force of the cleaning liquid can be reduced by adding lubricants.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a cleaning device with a below the
  • Cleaning tank provided cleaning liquid container with an integrated filter, a conveyor, a feed line to the cleaning tank, in which a cutting head of a shaving apparatus is stored and a drain line,
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the lower part of a cleaning device, in particular through a cleaning trough and a cleaning liquid container with an integrated filter and a fan wheel for drying an object to be cleaned
  • 3 shows a cross section through the lower part of the cleaning device according to FIG. 2 with a section through the cleaning trough in the region of the drain line.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cleaning device RV for cleaning a cutting head S of a shaving apparatus TR with a housing 1, a holding device 2, a cleaning liquid container 3, a filter element 4, a conveyor device 6, which can be driven by a motor 5, with a feed line 7 to a cleaning trough 8 and one Drain line 9 from the cleaning trough 8 to the cleaning liquid container 3.
  • the cleaning liquid container 3 is arranged with an integrated filter element 4 below the cleaning trough 8 and above a wall 12 of the housing 1.
  • the conveying device 6 is arranged so that it can be removed from the interior 10 of the cleaning fluid container RV, specifically from the filter housing 40.
  • a sealing element 51 is arranged between the filter housing 40 and the pump housing 50 in order to prevent cleaning liquid 11 from flowing out of the cleaning liquid container 3.
  • the inner curvature of the cleaning tub 8 is roughly the outer contour of the object to be cleaned, such as. B. adapted the outer contour of a cutting head S of a shaver R.
  • the cleaning trough 8 only absorbs as much cleaning liquid 11 as is required for the respective cleaning process.
  • two support elements 16 made of elastic material can be provided to support the cutting head S on the bottom of the cleaning trough 8.
  • the cleaning trough 3 has an overflow device 17 so that the cleaning liquid 11 in the cleaning trough does not exceed a certain level.
  • the overflow device 17 ensures that the cutting head S or part of the cutting head S is surrounded by cleaning liquid 11 during the operation of the cleaning device RV and prevents overflowing of cleaning liquid 11 over the edge of the cleaning tub 8.
  • the outflow of the cleaning liquid 11 from the cleaning tub 8 to the cleaning liquid container 3 is ensured in this embodiment through the outlet opening 18 in the drain line 9 in the tank bottom 19 of the cleaning trough 8, the cross-section of the level of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning trough is also controllable, and an inlet opening 15, for example, designed as a funnel, in the cleaning liquid container 3
  • the inlet opening 15 and the outlet opening 30 in the cleaning liquid container 3 are not shown for the purpose of transporting the exchangeable cleaning liquid container 3, for example by means of a closure llt - lockable.
  • the shaver R is held in the cleaning tub 8 by means of an adjustable holding device 2.
  • the holding device 2 is essentially formed by a wall 23 running parallel to a broad side of the shaving apparatus R and a wall 22 associated with the bottom wall of the shaving apparatus R.
  • a holding element 24 designed as a device plug is provided on the wall 22.
  • the wall 23 of the holding device 2 coupled to the wall 22 is displaceably mounted in the housing 1, for example parallel to the broad side of the shaver R in such a way that a displacement of the holding device 2 in the direction of the cleaning tub 8 results in a coupling of the holding element 24 designed as a device plug with the device socket 28 of the shaver R and, when the holding device 2 is displaced in the opposite direction, decoupling of the holding device 2 from the shaving device R is ensured.
  • the coupling of the device plug of the holding element 24 with the device socket 28 ensures, via the connection to the electrical circuit provided in the cleaning device RV for the start-up of the conveyor 6 and / or fan 29, that electrical voltage is supplied for various purposes, such as, for. B. a manual or automatically controlled connection of the electric drive of the shaver R when starting the cleaning device RV and or charging a shaver R equipped with a rechargeable memory cell after switching off the cleaning device RV.
  • the start-up of the shaving apparatus R during the cleaning process supports the cleaning action of the cleaning fluid 11 by the oscillating movement of a cutting element provided in the cutting head S of the shaving apparatus R and the swirling of the cleaning fluid 11 in the cutting head S which can be derived therefrom.
  • the cleaning device RV there is a fan 29 with an air supply for drying the cutting head S shown, for example, after cleaning has been carried out, ie. H. provided that the cleaning liquid 11 has run out of the cleaning tub 8.
  • the switching on and off of the fan 29 can be part of a switching program of a programmable switching device - not shown - and / or can be controlled separately by hand.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the cleaning device RV with a section through the chassis 20 of the housing 1 on a cleaning liquid arranged in the chassis 20.
  • the angle of inclination of the cleaning pan 8 and also the pan bottom 31 of the cleaning pan 8 to the horizontal plane H is denoted by ⁇ .
  • At the intersection of the horizontal plane H with a line of inclination of the angle of inclination ⁇ , there is the outlet opening 18 of the drain line 9 in the tub floor 19.
  • the drain line 9 is divided into two opening areas by a wall 25 of the overflow device 17, the The opening in the tub floor 19 in front of the wall 25 of the overflow device 17 is dimensioned such that the cleaning liquid containing impurities can flow freely into the cleaning liquid container 3 without blocking this opening.
  • the section through the cleaning trough 8 makes it clear that, in addition to the inclined trough bottom 19, the two end walls 25, 26 of the cleaning trough 8 also extend inclined to the horizontal plane H, so that cleaning fluid flows out of these end side walls 25, 26 of the cleaning trough 8 as well is guaranteed.
  • a fan 29 is provided behind the illustrated longitudinal side wall 32 of the cleaning trough 8 of the cleaning device RV for drying an object to be cleaned.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section of the components of the cleaning device RV as far as they are shown in Fig. 2.
  • the cut runs transversely through the chassis 20 of the housing 1 of the cleaning liquid container 3 and transversely through the cleaning trough 8 arranged on the chassis 20 inclined to a horizontal plane H and the fan 29 fastened behind the cleaning trough 8 on the chassis 20.
  • an opening 35 is provided through which the cleaning liquid 11 is fed to the cleaning trough 8 via the feed line 7 - see FIG. 1.
  • the trough bottom 19 By means of the cross section through the cleaning trough 8, the trough bottom 19, the rear longitudinal side wall 32 and the front longitudinal side wall 33 and an end wall 26 connecting them are shown in a visible manner.
  • the transition of the longitudinal side wall 32, longitudinal side wall 33 and end side wall 25, 26 to the bath tub 19 are arcuate, so that the cleaning liquid 11 can flow freely to the drain line 9 after the cleaning process has ended, together with the impurities therein, and from there can flow into the cleaning liquid container 3.
  • All walls of the cleaning tub 8, in particular the tub bottom 19, are inclined to one horizontal plane H, the angle of inclination of the trough bottom 19 to the horizontal plane H being defined by the angle of inclination ⁇ .
  • a sufficient flow rate of the cleaning liquid 11 to the outlet opening 18 can be produced with an inclined position of the tub base 19 with an inclination angle ⁇ of more than 5 °, preferably 10 ° to 20 °.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ required in each individual case depends on various influencing factors, e.g. the angle of inclination ⁇ wall base 19, which, as shown for example, has a flat component - see FIG. 3 - or can be designed as an arc - not shown.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ is preferably also in a range from 5 ° to 20 °.
  • the longitudinal side walls 32, 33 and end side walls 26, 27 merging into the tub base 19 have an inclination angle of more than 20 ° due to the shape of the tub, so that the cleaning liquid 11 flows away from these walls, provided that the downward slope force of the cleaning liquid 11 ensures the surface tension and / or adhesive force of the cleaning liquid on the walls of the cleaning tub 8 exceeds.
  • the adhesive force of the cleaning liquid 11 on the walls of the cleaning trough 8 can be reduced by a corresponding nature of the surface of the inner wall of the cleaning trough in that it is preferably smooth or highly polished.
  • the surface tension of the cleaning liquid 11 should be relatively low in order to promote the detachment of cleaning liquid 11 including impurities from the inner walls of the cleaning trough 8.
  • a low density of the cleaning liquid prevents the build-up of contaminants while the cleaning liquid 11 runs into the cleaning liquid container 3 and thus, taking into account the intended flow rate of the cleaning liquid 11, the formation of dirty edges, in particular on the inner walls of the cleaning trough, and a decrease in contaminants e.g. of hair removed from the cutting head S of the shaver TR.
  • the surface tension and / or the adhesive force of the cleaning liquid 11 can be influenced via the chemical composition of the cleaning liquid and can also be changed by increasing or decreasing one or more components such as the content of alcohol, surfactants, lubricants and also odorous substances.
