Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning.
- Machines for domestic and/or industrial cleaning, such as vacuum cleaners and electric brooms, which can also act as air purifying machines, are known in the background art.
- These machines usually comprise a filter or filtration assembly, arranged in a corresponding receptacle on a supporting chassis, through which the aspirated air is made to pass, retaining the suspended dust and dirt, and is then expelled outward after being cleaned.
- E.P.A. 02722037.5 in the name of same Applicant discloses a filtration assembly applied to a vacuum cleaner that comprises a wheeled chassis in which there is a receptacle for the filtration assembly, said receptacle being shaped substantially complementarily to said filtration assembly.
- The receptacle is isolated from the outside and is connected to a suction motor arranged in a portion of the vacuum cleaner.
- The filtration assembly comprises a box-like body that is provided with an air suction inlet that is connected to the air intake of the vacuum cleaner and with a perimetric wall constituted by a filtration strip.
- The aspirated air is conveyed into the filtration assembly and exits from it through the filtration strip.
- The filtration assembly must therefore be cleaned or replaced cyclically, since dust and dirt accumulate inside it, obstructing the filtration strip and reducing the filtration capacity.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning whose structure increases, in terms of duration, the capacity and effectiveness of the filtration assembly without having to act directly for cleaning and/or replacing it.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a machine that can be used easily even by users lacking particular technical knowledge.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine that has a simple structure.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine that can be manufactured with known technologies and equipment.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning, of the type that comprises a chassis in which a receptacle is formed, said receptacle being isolated from the outside, being connected to a suction motor supported by said chassis, and being designed to accommodate a filtration assembly that is connected to the means for connection to the air intake accessories, characterized in that said filtration assembly is arranged with a preset clearance within said receptacle and comprises a box-like body, with at least one wall portion constituted by a filtering strip, from which at least one first duct extends, said duct being connected to a corresponding second duct for aspirating air from outside, said first and second ducts forming a hermetic connection with elastic articulation that allows the movement of said filtration assembly inside said receptacle following variations in the pressure conditions inside said receptacle.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning, according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view of the machine of Figure 1.
-
- With reference to the figures, a machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning, according to the invention, is generally designated by the
reference numeral 10. - The
machine 10, which in the case shown in the figures is a vacuum cleaner, comprises awheeled chassis 11 in which there is areceptacle 12 that is isolated from the outside and is connected to a suction motor, which is not shown in the figures but is in any case of the per se known type and is arranged in aportion 31 of thechassis 11. - A
filtration assembly 13 is arranged with clearance within thereceptacle 12 and is connected to means 14 for connection to the air intake accessories. - The
filtration assembly 13 comprises a box-like body, described in greater detail hereinafter, with at least one wall portion constituted by a filtering strip, from which afirst duct 15 extends which is connected to a correspondingsecond duct 16 for aspirating air from outside. - In practice, the
first duct 15 and thesecond duct 16 form a hermetic connection with elastic articulation that allows the movement of thefiltration assembly 13 inside thereceptacle 12 as a consequence of the variation of the pressure conditions inside thereceptacle 12, as will become better apparent hereinafter. - The hermetic connection with elastic articulation is provided by
end portions second ducts gasket 17 that has a toroidal sealing surface and allows articulation. - In practice, the connection substantially provides a cantilevered support for the
filtration assembly 13. - The
second duct 16 runs substantially vertically downward from thebottom 22 of thereceptacle 12, with anupper end portion 16a at which theend portion 15a of thefirst duct 15 engages during use. - The
first duct 15 protrudes laterally from thefiltration assembly 13, with a substantially L-shaped path and anend portion 15a to be arranged along a substantially vertical axis during use. - The
filtration assembly 13 comprises twolateral covers first duct 15 protrudes, and aperimetric wall 19, which lies substantially at right angles to thecovers - The
first duct 15 supports, at itsfree end portion 15a, the sealinggasket 17, which engages, during use, by means of its toroidal sealing surface, the outer perimetric surface of theend portion 16a of thesecond duct 16. - As shown in Figure 2, the
filtration assembly 13, when in use, rests with itslower portion 20, on the side of thefirst duct 15, on a raisedportion 21 of thebottom 22 of thereceptacle 12. - The
receptacle 12 is formed by atank 23, from thebottom 22 of which thesecond duct 16 rises, said tank being designed to be arranged within a complementarilyshaped compartment 24 of thechassis 11, and by acover 25, with alateral portion 26 that is suitable to connect the suction motor to thereceptacle 12. - The
machine 10 further comprises apressure sensor 27, which is suitable to detect an increase in the pressure conditions inside thereceptacle 12 with respect to normal operating conditions. - The
pressure sensor 27 comprises a preloadedspring 28, which acts in contrast with the action of the pressure inside thereceptacle 12 on aslide valve 29 that is visible to the user and moves within a correspondingtubular guide 30. - In this embodiment, the
perimetric wall 19 is constituted by a filter made of washable polyester, but in other embodiments it is possible to use conveniently microperforated filters, for example of the activated carbon type for antiallergenic actions, or filters of the HEPA type. - As regards operation, since the
filtration assembly 13 in practice is arranged so as to cantilever out inside thereceptacle 12, it tends to be arranged so that it is inclined downward due to its own weight and to the coupling with elastic articulation. - When the
machine 10 is operated, the pressure conditions inside thereceptacle 12 generate a resultant force that acts on thefiltration assembly 13 so as to contrast its weight without being able to overcome it. - When instead the means 14 for connection to the air intake accessories are partially obstructed accidentally or intentionally, the pressure conditions inside the
receptacle 12 increase in intensity and generate a resultant force that acts on thefiltration assembly 13, overcoming its weight and making it rotate upward with respect to the articulation point. - In this manner, by rapidly repeatedly obstructing and releasing the connection means 14 or the air intake accessories, for example with one hand on the outlet, the
filtration assembly 13 is shaken, making it oscillate with respect to the articulation point and making the dirt accumulated on the filtering wall fall, increasing the capacity and effectiveness over time of thefiltration assembly 13. - The filtration assembly shaking effect can of course also be produced unintentionally, during the normal use of the machine.
- A machine for domestic and/or industrial cleaning according to the invention can be constituted by a vacuum cleaner but also by an electric broom.
