Abstract
Description
- The invention lies in the field of evacuation and cleaning installations with a central vacuum system.
- An obvious idea in this context may reside in adapting such systems for the aspiration of waste water.
- This would be very useful in particular for cleaning kitchens (in particular so called "large" kitchens, such as catering kitchens), butchers' shops, abattoirs, garages etc., but possibly also more generally in the domestic arena.
- For example, a cleaning treatment could be possible with a (limited quantity of a detergent/disinfectant) fluid which could be aspirated (where applicable without rinsing), which could make the subsequent treatment of the generated waste streams considerably easier (both with regard to quantities and the efficient collection thereof).
- The practical implementation of the above basic concept however entails a number of fundamental problems.
- Namely the problem exists that a pipe system for air and dust evacuation is not directly suitable for fluid evacuation. Furthermore the problem arises that a fundamental height restriction applies to the raising (aspiration) of water.
- These problems also have the consequence that the systems proposed in the prior art for the evacuation of waste water appear impractical and that most existing systems comprise a collection vessel, freestanding or otherwise, for the aspirated fluid which is located between the suction pipe and the vacuum system, and that they inherently require a number of laborious operations (disposal of waste water and cleaning of collection vessel).
- In this context reference is made to French
patent specification FR 2 669 206 patent specification FR 2 726 198 US 3.862.466 ,PCT publication WO9818377 JP 199951 - The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and create a system which is economic and simple to implement, making use of common basic installations.
- The basic concept of the invention lies in that a waste water disposal system (pre-existing or not) with a number of evacuation openings (drains, such as catchment points, discharge from disposal sink / "pompbak" installations), is combined with a central suction system for air and dust (as known per se), wherein, to be able to create the required negative pressure (vacuum) at one drain of the waste water evacuation system, the other drains are closed air-tight.
- The invention thus provides creates a method for evacuation of waste water via a central evacuation system with a number of fixed drains for waste water, wherein a removable suction pipe is connected to a drain of a fixed waste water evacuation system with a number of fixed drains, while said waste water evacuation system is connected with a central vacuum system and the other drains than that to which the suction pipe is attached are closed during the suction operation.
- Such a method/system is ideal for application in kitchens (in particular "large" kitchens), butcher's shops, abattoirs, garages etc. but also for more general use in the domestic arena, by simple connection of a central dust extraction system to a "drain system", wherein an automatic activation allows to switch simply from dust extraction to fluid evacuation.
- According to another feature of the invention, the method provides that during a suction operation the other drains than that to which the suction pipe is connected are closed, preferably automatically, while nonetheless an odour trap to the drains is maintained by means of a hydraulic siphon (in both the drain connected and the other drains) after the suction operation.
- According to a specific embodiment of the invention, in a suction operation at one drain, preferably a removable automatic shut-off device at one drain is removed and the suction pipe connected hermetically to the drain, wherein specific detection and switching devices at said drain (such as in particular a REED switch, a telecontrol system, or the like) automatically activate the central vacuum system (activation of motor + turbine), while corresponding removable automatic shut-off devices at the other drains automatically close the other drains.
- Evidently the detection and switching devices can also, in a similar manner, be provided to activate the central vacuum system on removal of one of the automatic shut-off devices at one drain, instead of on the connection of the suction pipe.
- The automatic shut-off of the (other) drains takes place preferably by means of a ball float / disc float.
- Ball floats are known in themselves in waste water evacuation systems to prevent vermin from entering a connected room via a waste water system (British patent document
2.286.207 US 5.662.138 ) or as a non-return valve in a floor drain (German patent applicationDE 403 39 57 , European patent applicationEP 0 494 060 andPCT patent application WO 9902792 - Whereas a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention involves means for automatically closing the other drains than that to which the suction pipe is connected, the method may also suitably involve evacuation openings (drains) that are "permanently" closed (for instance by means of removable stoppers); in that case, in order to connect the removable suction pipe to the evacuation system, the stopper of one of the evacuation openings is removed and replaced by the suction pipe.
- In such alternative embodiment a (standard) permanent (S-bend type) hydraulic siphon may be provided in the evacuations from the evacuation openings.
- Separate means may also be provided for occasionally replenishing the hydraulic siphons (with water or disinfectant solution), with or without removing the "permanent" closing stoppers.
- It should furthermore be observed that the method according to the invention can easily be provided to evacuate / suck off, alternatively, liquids respectively dust (whereas in "dust evacuation" mode dust may suitably be captured via dust separation means such as filters, deflection means etc.), and/or to evacuate / suck off liquids via a (standard) cleaning machine (such as rotary brush cleaning machines). Such rotary brush machine embodiment of the system according to the invention may for instance involve water supply to the brushes and operation of the brushes by compressed air, whereas the used air and water are simultaneously sucked of and evacuated by the vacuum of the installation.
- The invention furthermore provides an automatic evacuation installation for waste water using a central suction system, with a fixed waste water evacuation system with a number of fixed evacuation openings (drains) for waste water, with a central vacuum system connected with said waste water evacuation system, and with means, on connection of a removable suction pipe to one of the drains of the fixed waste water evacuation system, for closing the other drains and activating the central vacuum system.
- As already stated above, the system according to the invention (method/installation) involves a number of evacuation openings/drains of the floor discharge type (such as catchment points) or drains of the disposal sink/"pompbak" type. It is essential that the waste water/waste fluid always flows down into the waste water evacuation system (natural water fall), wherein the vacuum (in the waste water evacuation system and the branch to the vacuum installation) serves merely to transfer the fluid in the removable suction pipe to the drain to which the suction pipe is connected.
- According to another feature of the invention, each drain of the automatic evacuation system is preferably fitted with a hydraulic siphon.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the automatic evacuation system according to the invention, each drain is fitted, at the bottom of the drain, with a connection to which a suction pipe can be hermetically connected, with detection and switching devices for automatic activation of the central vacuum system, and a removable shut-off device intended to cooperate with said connection for a suction pipe to close this automatically.
- The shut-off devices preferably comprise a ball float, a disc float or similar. The float is held in place in the shut-off device by the specific form of the shut-off device (see
figures 1 and2 ). - According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the automatic closure of the connection for the suction pipe at the "other drains" can of course also take place with other shut-off means (such as solenoid valves), where activation of the shut-off means can take place by the same detection and switching means on the connection on suction pipe which also activate the vacuum system.
- According to a further preferred characteristic of the invention, the removable shut-off device together with the connection for the suction pipe forms a hydraulic siphon in the base of the drain.
- Here a mesh filter can be provided on the underside of the shut-off device which fits onto the connection for the suction pipe in order to retain particles which are carried with the discharging waste water in the siphon. In this construction the water closes the drain hydraulically even during/after aspiration with the vacuum system.
- According to still a further alternative embodiment of the invention, the closure of the connection for the suction pipe at the "other drains" can also be non automatic (involving evacuation openings (drains) that are "permanently" closed (for instance by means of removable stoppers); to connect the removable suction pipe to the evacuation system, the stopper of one of the evacuation openings is than removed and replaced by the suction pipe.
- The invention finally also concerns, more generally, a shut-off device for air-tight closure of a drain for fluids, intended to be placed in a suitable cavity in the drain, with integral means for closing an evacuation pipe which protrudes from the base of said cavity of the evacuation opening.
