Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pond cleaning apparatus for pumping waste matter and water from a pond.
  • GB2415612 describes a submersible vacuum cleaner which may be used for cleaning a pond.
  • a pump unit is provided at the end of a supporting tube along which waste sucked up by the pump may be carried away. No detail is given of the construction or functionality of the pump unit.
  • pond cleaning apparatus for pumping waste matter and water from a pond
  • the apparatus comprising a submersible pump mounted on a tube, the pump being arranged to pump water and waste matter through an inlet of the apparatus and along the tube towards an outlet of the apparatus, characterised in that the pump comprises an impellor and there is a flow path from the inlet of the apparatus to the impellor, and in that the impellor comprises a blade with at least one cutting edge.
  • a blade can help to cut any waste matter in the water into smaller pieces reducing the risk of blockage in the apparatus.
  • There may be a substantially unobstructed flow path from the inlet of the apparatus to the impellor.
  • the impellor may comprise a main body, and the blade of the impellor may be of a different material from the main body.
  • the cutting edge is of metal.
  • the whole blade may be of metal.
  • the main body may be of plastics material.
  • the pump may comprise at least one moving part and the disabling means may be operable to isolate the at least one moving part from a driving source.
  • the driving source may comprise an electrical supply and the disabling means may be operable to break a connection to the electrical supply.
  • the apparatus may comprise a moveable portion which is moveable between a first position in which access to the at least one moving part is obscured, and a second position in which access to the at least one moving part may be obtained and the disabling means may be arranged so that the pump is disabled when the moveable portion is in the second position.
  • the apparatus comprises a removable portion, and is arranged such that the removal of said removable portion disables the pump.
  • the moving part enclosure may be a removable portion of the apparatus.
  • the moving part enclosure may comprise at least two components which fit together to obscure access to the at least one moving part.
  • the moving part enclosure may be openable to allow access to the at least one moving part.
  • the pond cleaning apparatus 1 is likely to require cleaning during or after use. To this end, the apparatus 1 is arranged to be easy to clean and disassemble.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show exploded views of the pump unit 4. These exploded views in fact illustrate the way in which the apparatus 1 may be disassembled into a number of easy-to-clean components.

Claims (15)

  1. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung zum Abpumpen von Abfallstoffen und Wasser aus einem Teich, wobei die Vorrichtung eine an einem Rohr (2) montierte Tauchpumpe (4) aufweist, wobei die Pumpe (4) ausgebildet ist, um Wasser und Abfallstoffe durch einen Einlass (18) der Vorrichtung und entlang des Rohres zu einem Auslass (10) der Vorrichtung hin zu pumpen, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Pumpe (4) einen Impeller (20) aufweist, der einen Flügel (22) mit wenigstens einer Schneidkante aufweist.
  2. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, bei der keine Abstützung für den Impeller (20) an einer Stelle im Strömungsweg zwischen dem Einlass (18) und dem Impeller (20) vorhanden ist.
  3. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 oder Anspruch 2, bei der der Impeller (20) für eine Drehung durch ein Lager (32) abgestützt ist, das auf einer Seite des Impellers (20) angeordnet ist, die entgegengesetzt zu der Seite ist, die im Gebrauch zuerst von Wasser beaufschlagt wird, das zum Impeller hin vom Einlass (18) strömt.
  4. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3, bei der der Impeller (20) an einer auskragenden Welle (30) angebracht ist.
  5. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1-4, bei der der Impeller (20) derart ausgebildet ist, dass im Gebrauch der erste Teil des Impellers, der mit dem in die Vorrichtung gepumpten Abwasser in Kontakt kommt, der Flügel (22) ist.
  6. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 - 5, bei der der Impeller (20) ausgebildet ist, um Wasser auf sich selbst zu entlang der Drehachse zu pumpen, und der Flügel (22) an einer axialen Oberfläche des Impellers vorgesehen ist.
  7. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem vorhergehenden Anspruch, bei der der Flügel (22) mehrere Schneidkanten hat.
  8. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem vorhergehenden Anspruch, die eine Ausschalteinrichtung (31) zum Ausschalten der Pumpe (4) hat und die Pumpe weist wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil (20) auf, und die Ausschalteinrichtung ist funktionell in der Lage, den wenigstens einen Teil von einer Antriebsquelle zu trennen.
  9. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 8, bei der der wenigstens eine sich bewegende Teil den Impeller (20) aufweist.
  10. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 8 oder Anspruch 9, bei der die Vorrichtung einen beweglichen Teil (50) aufweist, der zwischen einer ersten Stellung, in der der Zugang zu dem wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil (20) verdeckt ist, und einer zweiten Stellung, in der Zugang zu dem wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil (20) erhältlich ist, bewegbar ist, und die Ausschalteinrichtung (31) so ausgebildet ist, dass die Pumpe (4) ausgeschaltet wird, wenn der bewegliche Teil (50) in der zweiten Stellung ist.
  11. Teichreinigungsvorrichtung nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 8 bis 10, bei der die Vorrichtung ein bewegliche Teile einschließendes Gehäuse (40, 50) aufweist, das ein lösbarer Teil der Vorrichtung ist und wenigstens zwei Bauteile (40, 50) umfasst, die zusammenpassen, um den Zugang zu dem wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil (20) zu verdecken, wobei das bewegliche Teile einschließende Gehäuse (40, 50) funktionell in der Lage ist, Zugang zu dem wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil (20) zu gewähren, und wobei die Vorrichtung ausgebildet ist, um den wenigstens einen sich bewegenden Teil auszuschalten, wenn das bewegliche Teile einschließende Gehäuse (40, 50) geöffnet und/oder aus der Vorrichtung entfernt wird.
