Definitions
- the present invention relates to a waste water control module in a vacuum supply system on board a vehicle.
- the toilets, wash hand basins, galley sinks and similar facilities of the corresponding air, water or land vehicle via an associated valve unit and a line system connected to a collection in which, based on the ambient pressure of the device concerned (in aircraft the Cabin pressure) a negative pressure prevails. If the respective valve unit is opened, the contents of the relevant washing, rinsing, toilet or other basin is transported due to the pressure gradient in the sump.
- a disadvantage of such conventional vacuum supply systems is the strong noise development especially at the end of the emptying of the device in question (washbasin or the like). This is all the more disturbing as, in particular for reasons of hygiene, in each case after each use of the device emptying is provided. This also has an adverse effect on the life of a vacuum generator, which is typically used to generate the negative pressure in the system.
- Vacuum systems are also known for stationary applications, for example when the lines in a spatially extended disposal system Due to the local conditions may have only a slight slope.
- various wastewater control modules have been proposed in which between the basin in which the liquid is collected and / or collected, and the respective device (eg sink) associated valve unit arranged a buffer with a storage container is.
- wastewater control modules are known for the above-mentioned stationary applications, each having a buffer and a storage container, an inlet nozzle and connectable to a vacuum suction outlet nozzle, the inlet nozzle opens into the storage container and in the flow path between the storage container and the Outlet nozzle disposed in the bottom region of the storage container valve is arranged, which comprises a valve seat and a relative to this movable valve body.
- DE 2450026 Al discloses such a buffer for a float-controlled wastewater control module of a stationary vacuum supply system, wherein in the bottom region of the storage container, a valve seat is executed, on which a arranged in the interior of the storage volume, buoyant closing body rests.
- negative pressure which acts on the closing body in the region of the valve opening, the latter is held on the valve seat even when the storage container is filled.
- the storage container is, if the liquid collected in it or reaches a predetermined level, automatically emptied by opening the valve.
- the liquid Level within the storage container by means of a float, which acts on a pilot pneumatic switch detected, the pressure change in a pneumatic switch downstream pilot line causes floating of the closing body and consequently opening of the valve.
- the floating of the closing body can be brought about in particular mechanically or pneumatically.
- the wastewater control module constructed using the known buffer discussed above is unsuitable for mobile applications; in particular, it does not meet the strict reliability requirements in the aviation sector.
- a reliable closing of the valve provided in the known buffer is not ensured even if, as is regularly the case for galley wastewaters, comparatively small foreign bodies are present in the wastewater, namely those which are buoyant.
- the inevitable in mobile applications on board vehicles vibrations in an intolerable manner adversely affect the reliability of the waste water control module by they can cause uncontrolled opening or closing of the valve.
- the wastewater control module known from DE 2450026 Al is not failsafe in the sense that the valve still safely closes in case of failure of the vacuum source or any other decrease in the negative pressure in the system; because the negative pressure is, as stated, required for holding the valve in its closed position.
- the state-of-the-art waste water control module is not backflow-proof.
- EP 829584 A2 discloses another wastewater control module intended for use in a stationary vacuum supply installation and suitable for this purpose alone, having a buffer store, in which the storage tank is to be automatically emptied when a predetermined fill level is reached.
- the storage container is surrounded by an annular space which communicates with the storage container via a connection arranged near the bottom of the storage container.
- the wastewater control module has a temporary storage; it comprises a storage container, an inlet connection opening into the latter and an outlet connection piece connectable to a vacuum suction line; in the flow path between the storage container and the discharge nozzle, a valve is arranged in the bottom region of the storage container, which valve comprises a valve seat and a valve body movable relative thereto; a valve housing is arranged on the intermediate store below the storage container, and the valve body bears against the valve seat on the side facing away from the storage container; the valve body is sealed by means of a membrane relative to the valve housing in this slidably; the outlet nozzle opens into a working space bounded by the valve body, the valve housing, the membrane and the valve seat; a switchable actuating device, which lifts the valve body downwards from the seat, acts on the valve body
- the outlet nozzle of the intermediate store which bears the negative pressure prevailing in the collecting container and the line system, opens into a working space bounded by the valve seat, the valve body , the valve housing and the valve body deformable relative to the valve housing sealing membrane, in which respect to the valve seat and an adjacent area, in particular of the soil of the storage container can count and to the valve housing also from the bottom of the storage container downwardly projecting, projecting into the valve housing, the edge of the membrane spanning coat or collar.
- the corresponding working space - with the valve closed - has an annular shape extending around the valve body, which of course can not be equated with circular ring shape.
- the prevailing in the line system vacuum can thus - via a corresponding action on the working space - help to close the valve after emptying of the storage container active and / or then keep closed.
- the closing of the valve can thus, when the actuating device, which has lifted the valve body for opening the valve for the purpose of emptying the storage container down from the seat or lifted off, off, take place actively by a pneumatic support of the closing movement.
- both the opening of the valve, by switching on an actively switchable pilot valve comprehensive actuator, as well as - caused by switching off the actuator - closing the valve regardless of the level of the storage tank is possible.
- a complete emptying of the storage container including all foreign bodies can be ensured, which is particularly favorable for the reliable operation of the valve of the buffer.
- valve body is sealed off from the valve housing by means of a membrane separating the working chamber from the control chamber. Because this results in a particularly high tolerance of the function of the buffer against foreign bodies, which in turn has a positive effect on the reliability of the buffer. Furthermore, it is essential for the achievement of the desired objective that, according to the invention, a control chamber delimited by the valve housing, the valve body and the diaphragm sealing the latter relative to the valve housing is provided on the side of the valve body which is remote from the working space and which has a control line can be shut off by means of an actively switchable pilot valve, can be connected to the vacuum suction line.
- the actuator by means of which the valve is to be actively opened, insofar as it is pneumatically executed when the pilot valve of the present in the vacuum suction line vacuum also prevails in the control chamber, whereby the valve body is lifted down from the seat.
- the waste water control module has the property that a waste water transport only from the storage tank to the Trittsstutzen is possible, regardless of the Eintial. Outlet nozzle prevailing pressure conditions and the position of the pilot valve. Thus, the wastewater control module reliably prevents the backflow of wastewater into the sink. (For sanitary reasons, this is a mandatory requirement for aircraft sewage systems.)
- the cross section of the storage container can expand from top to bottom, for example by the corresponding housing is made more or less conical. This is also favorable with regard to the operational reliability of the low-temperature vacuum supply system equipped with the wastewater control module according to the invention, if there is a potential risk that the liquid accumulated in the storage container will freeze; because a possible ice layer can be easily solved in this way at an actively initiated emptying of the collecting container (s.o.) From the wall of the collecting container.
- an angle tube is connected to a defined spoiler edge, wherein the control line opens downstream of the spoiler edge in a dead space of the angle tube.
- the pilot Valve can be controlled in particular by an electromagnet, and preferably such that it is locked when the electromagnet is de-energized.
- the pilot valve can in the normal operating state of the invention equipped with the wastewater control module vacuum liquid disposal system, ie at a prevailing in the vacuum suction line negative pressure, the latter support the closing function of the pilot valve.
- the wastewater control module regardless of a possible complementary mechanical bias of the pilot valve (see below) - failsafe in the sense that the valve of the buffer remains reliably closed in an interruption of the power supply to the solenoid.
- the pilot valve is preferably also biased by means of a mechanical spring in its closing the control line position. In this case, the pilot valve takes
- Equipped liquid disposal system equipped eg aircraft
- the control chamber is preferably connected via a throttled ventilation opening with the environment. This supports via a correspondingly defined pressure equalization between the control chamber and the environment, the closing function of the valve after switching off the actuator.
- the buffer preferably also has at least one level sensor associated with the storage container, whose output acts on the actuator such that the storage container is automatically emptied upon reaching a predetermined level.
- an electrical output signal generating level sensor is provided, which can be based for example on a capacitive or resitive measuring principle.
- the at least one level sensor preferably also determines whether the buffer is completely emptied in order to initiate the closing of the valve in dependence thereon and only then - by corresponding actuation of the pilot valve.
- the closing of the valve can be delayed by a predetermined time interval in order to favor the emptying of the buffer and / or a cleaning of the valve and / or the promotion of the extracted liquid from the buffer into the collecting container by a corresponding flushing.
- one of the actuator associated electrical control is housed protected against moisture in the buffer in a arranged below the valve housing housing portion.
- a mechanical locking spring is provided, which biases the valve body against the valve seat in addition to the negative pressure effect described above.
- the valve housing particularly preferably has a guide bush in which a guide pin connected to the valve body is guided.
- a guide is especially indicated for reliable operation of the valve, when the valve body is sealed by a diaphragm against the valve housing.
- a further preferred development of the present invention is characterized in that suitable position detection means are provided for determining the position of the valve body. This allows a regular reliable control of the function of the valve of the buffer by an evaluation circuit, to which also the actuator and the level sensors, if any, are connected.
- a vacuum generator is connected to the collecting tank, which is set in operation as needed, if the prevailing between the sump and the environment pressure difference (eg in a parked aircraft) not sufficient to ensure a reliable Sige promotion of accumulated in the buffer storage liquid in the collection ensure.
- the vacuum generator is put into operation before the valve of the wastewater control module is opened by activating the actuating device.
