Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filter cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Filter cartridges are known for use in vending machines that are inserted directly into the water reservoir of the beverage machines (DE 197 28 631). These filter cartridges are with bottom
  • the object of the invention is to propose a filter cartridge in which a flat shape with a sufficient filter path is possible.
  • Such a flat construction is preferably realized in that a flow-through filter section is provided which extends at least partially in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • the filter path is understood to mean the path in which the water to be filtered passes the filter material.
  • the filter section can also be subdivided into a plurality of filter sections which do not have a horizontal flow and which are connected to one another directly or via flow sections which are free of filter material.
  • the filter cartridge is arranged in the interior of the water storage container, the filter housing having an inlet opening that is open towards the interior of the water storage container.
  • This inlet opening is preferably provided in the bottom area, in particular on the underside of the filter housing, so that the water reservoir is essentially complete, i.e. the level of this inlet opening must be emptied.
  • the water is preferably drawn off via an outlet connection of the filter housing, a corresponding connection of the outlet connection of the filter cartridge being provided via corresponding connecting elements of the water storage container to a supply line of the household machine.
  • the 'water reservoir can then a suction pump or other suction means of the household appliance over the filter cartridge inside the container is sucked empty.
  • cross-section-reducing and / or path-extending structures are also provided in the area of the filter section.
  • Both through cross-section-reducing and path-lengthening structures ensure that no flow paths can form within the filter material, in which part of the water to be filtered can pass the filter cartridge without sufficient contact with the filter material. In particular, this also ensures that no currents can form around accumulation areas and that no accumulation water can remain in the filter cartridge for too long. This avoids the risk of contamination caused by such a backwater being left for too long.
  • Structures of this type can be formed, for example, in a serpentine, meandering or zigzag fashion.
  • the essentially horizontally running filter section is realized by sections which are arranged next to one another and do not flow horizontally.
  • the individual filter sections of such a filter section can also be formed, for example, by filter sections which are arranged next to one another and flow through vertically or at an incline. This is the case, for example, with structures as mentioned above, i.e. Snake lines, meandering lines or zigzag structures, the case.
  • the filter section can be formed by various filter sections which are connected via a flow section without filter material.
  • the filter path is shortened overall over the total volume of the filter housing, it However, it is ensured that the filtered water is mixed in the free flow sections, so that there is a homogeneous state of the filtered water after each filter section. • If necessary, appropriate guide elements for mixing or swirling can be provided in such flow sections.
  • fixing elements for the filter cartridge are furthermore formed in the water storage container, wherein in a preferred embodiment these fixing elements are also designed as connection elements for the drain. In this way, both the connection and the fixation can be made by simply inserting the filter cartridge.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a water reservoir with a filter cartridge in a first embodiment
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional illustration of a filter cartridge with an internal structure
  • Fig..3 is a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of a broke- • Filter cartridge according to the invention with inner structure
  • FIG. 4 shows a representation according to FIG. 1 with a further embodiment of the filter cartridge
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic sectional view with a third embodiment of the invention.
  • the water reservoir 1 is filled with water during operation of a corresponding household machine, as indicated by the wavy line 2.
  • the water reservoir 1 can be closed with a lid 3,
  • a filter cartridge 5 with a filter housing ⁇ is shown in the ' bottom area 4 of the water storage container 1.
  • a water inlet opening 7 is provided on the upper side of the filter housing 6.
  • a filling of filter material 8 between two end Seven 9, 10 is arranged inside the Filterg 'enosuses 6 . The water flow accordingly runs in the direction shown by arrows. This results in a filter section formed by the filter material 8 between the screens 9, 10.
  • the filter cartridge 5 is designed to be very flat, i.e. the cross section of the water storage container 1 is used to implement a sufficient filter section with a sufficient filling of filter material 8 in a flat design.
  • Fig. 2 shows an example of how a serpentine structure is formed inside a filter cartridge.
  • Partition walls 11 each result in a deflection area 12 in the edge area, so that the flow course in the filter section delimited by the screens 13, 14 runs in an essentially horizontal direction alternately from left to right or from right to left.
  • a layered structure is formed from top to bottom of the alternating partition walls 11.
  • the partition walls 11 can also be formed side by side in the vertical direction, so that the individual sections of the flow path run horizontally from one side of the filter cartridge to the other.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further variant, with partition walls 15 here. are designed so that there is an alternating upward and downward movement of the flow inside the filter cartridge.
  • the deflection areas 16 are accordingly located in the floor area and in the ceiling area of the filter cartridge.
  • the filter section is thus between the wires 17, 18.
  • Another embodiment of the filter line is indicated by • exemplified sieves 19, 20, which are respectively arranged in front of the deflection 21st This results in a free flow path without filter material in the deflection areas 21, which can be used, for example, to mix the filtered water. If necessary, corresponding obstacles to the swirling can additionally be provided.
  • Such free flow paths between individual filter sections 21, 22 can of course also be integrated into other structures, for example according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 shows an arrangement according to FIG. 1, in the present case the inlet opening 24 being arranged on the underside of the filter cartridge, so that an almost complete emptying of the water storage container 1 is possible.
  • the water is sucked out of the bottom area 25 between the filter cartridge and the bottom of the water storage container 1.
  • a spacer 26 is provided in order to keep this floor area 25 at a sufficient height.
  • the passages 27 can also be provided in the edge area of the filter cartridge and / or further passages in the interior of the filter cartridge, as indicated, for example, by the passage 28.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 essentially corresponds to the embodiment shown with reference to FIG. 3.
  • a mirror-symmetrical structure is provided around the central axis, with an inlet 29, 30 being provided laterally in the region of the side wall 31, 32 near the floor.
  • a downpipe 35 can be provided in the center of this exemplary embodiment, which is formed in two parts, the two partial regions 36, 37 being separated by a filter or sieve 38.
  • the upper portion 36 can also be filled with filter material.
  • the lower section 37 is designed as a connecting tube for insertion into a connection opening, not shown, of a water storage container.
  • an O-ring is indicated as a sealing element 39.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une cartouche filtrante destinée à un appareil ménager tel qu'un distributeur automatique de boissons, en particulier une machine à café, un nettoyeur à vapeur ou similaire. Cette cartouche filtrante comprend un carter dans lequel est disposé une matière filtrante entre une arrivée et une évacuation. L'objectif de l'invention est de créer une cartouche filtrante de ce type qui puisse présenter une forme plate tout en comprenant une zone filtrante suffisante. A cet effet, des structures (11, 12) réduisant la section et/ou augmentant le trajet dans la zone filtrante sont disposées dans le carter de la cartouche filtrante.
