  • the arcuately curved side walls also have the advantage that within the suction channel a suction flow can be achieved with the lowest possible gradient of the flow velocity. As a result, the risk can be minimized that in the suction channel little or no moving air strikes heavily moving air and thereby form vortex. Such vortices represent regions of the suction flow with a very low flow velocity (so-called "dead spots") and can result in separation of dirt particles or water droplets within the suction channel, so that the particles and droplets sucked in the area of the suction mouth are only insufficiently penetrated through the entire suction channel be transported.

  • the side walls can be curved in a circular arc with a constant radius of curvature.
  • the radius of curvature of the side walls changes from their front end area to their rear end area.
  • a continuous change in the radius of curvature of the side walls from their front to their rear end region has proved to be particularly advantageous.

  • the flow cross section of the suction channel thus increases starting from the central region in the direction of the lateral edge regions. This has to Result that the flow velocity of the suction flow is lower in the edge regions than in the central region.
  • the reduced flow velocity in the edge regions results in a reduced friction of the suction flow on the side walls, since the friction is dependent on the flow velocity of the suction flow.

Subsequently, the liquid-air mixture meets the baffle 40, at which the remaining entrained liquid separates, whereas the sucked air flows around the baffle 40 and is guided via the suction line 105 to the suction unit 16.
  • the deposited within the deposition chamber 33 Liquid can flow via the drainage channel 26 into the dirty liquid tank 23.
  • the deposition chamber 33 has a drain opening 113, on which a drain funnel 114 is arranged.
  • the discharge funnel 114 tapers in the direction of the dirty liquid tank 23.
  • the ventilation channel 27 passes through the discharge funnel 114 and projects into the deposition chamber 33.
  • the Hart vomag réelle 10 is shown in an upright position, in which the suction nozzle 50 occupies a position above the suction unit 16 relative to the vertical. If the Hartvidabsaug réelle 10 is guided in this position on a hard surface to be sucked along, so can be within the deposition chamber 33 separated liquid readily to the drain opening 113 and pass through this in the dirty liquid tank 23.
  • a first intermediate storage area 117 is disposed between the front wall 36 of the deposition chamber 33 and the receiving well 43, and a second intermediate storage area 118 is positioned between the rear wall 37 of the deposition chamber 33 and the receiving well 43. Expand both buffer areas 117, 118 continuously in the direction of the baffle 40.
  • the two intermediate storage areas 117, 118 extend in the circumferential direction in each case over a part of the rear end region 72 of the suction channel 60.
  • a third intermediate storage region 119 extends annularly over the entire circumference of the mouth region 107 of the suction line 105 within the separation chamber 33.
  • the third intermediate storage region 119 also widens continuously in the direction of the impact wall 40.
  • the first and second intermediate storage areas 117 and 118 receive liquid deposited in the deposition chamber 33, especially when the hard surface suction device 10 is in the upside-down position, and the third intermediate storage area 119 absorbs liquid deposited in the deposition chamber 33, in particular when the hard surface suction device 10 is lying, without the danger exists that separated liquid can reach the suction mouth 70 via the suction channel 60. If the Hartvidabsaug réelle 10 then operated again in an upright position, the liquid accumulated in the meantime flows from the intermediate storage areas 117, 118, 119 and passes through the drain opening 113 and the drain channel 26 into the dirty liquid tank 23rd
  • the dirty liquid tank 23 can be aerated in any position of the hard surface suction device 10 via the ventilation channel 27 running parallel to the outlet channel 26 so that air can escape at any time from the dirty liquid tank 23, which can then be sucked out of the separation chamber 33 via the suction line 105.
  • the Hart vomabsaug réelle 10 can thus be operated in any position relative to the vertical, wherein in the deposition chamber 33 deposited liquid can either go directly into the dirty liquid tank 23 or it is first stored in intermediate storage areas 117, 118 and 119 of the deposition chamber 33, to the Hart vomabsaug réelle 10 again assumes an upright position.
  • a relatively small-sized power supply of the suction unit 16 is required, because the suction channel 60 has only very low flow losses and beyond there is virtually no risk that within the suction channel 60 detected by the suction flow dirt particles or liquid droplets deposit.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une buse d'aspiration notamment destinée à un dispositif d'aspiration de surfaces dures, comportant un orifice d'aspiration, etun canal d'aspiration se joignant à l'orifice d'aspiration. Une source de dépression peut être connectée à l'extrémité du canal d'aspiration opposée à l'orifice d'aspiration pour former un flux d'aspiration. Le canal d'aspiration présente une paroi inférieure et une paroi supérieure connectées mutuellement par des parois latérales. Pour améliorer la buse d'aspiration de telle manière qu'un flux d'aspiration efficace est créé dans la zone de l'orifice d'aspiration lors de la connexion à une source de dépression, avec une consommation d'énergie réduite de la source de dépression, les parois latérales sont courbées à la manière d'un arc. L'invention concerne également un dispositif d'aspiration de surfaces dures comportant une telle buse d'aspiration.
