Definitions
- the invention relates to the sector of industrial vacuum cleaners.
- the invention concerns a multi-filter vacuum cleaner with independent shaker cleaning device for each filter.
- the filters are arranged between a chamber in which a vacuum is created by a suction turbine and a chamber for inlet of the dusty air and collection and accumulation of said dust once separated from the flow sucked in.
- the filters normally comprise one or more cartridges positioned parallel to one another, each of cylindrical shape, with the lateral surface consisting of a sheet of pleated porous material, the lower base closed and the upper base having a circular opening through which the air flows, said air having been previously filtered by passing through said porous material.
- some vacuum cleaners are provided with a cleaning device, of electromechanical or pneumatic type, comprising a striking head adapted to perform a mechanical shaking action on the vacuum cleaner filters.
- each filter is always cleaned, disadvantageously, while the vacuum cleaner is operating and the filter is in use, and therefore the cloud of dust dislodged from the walls of the filter shaken by the action of the striking head is immediately re-deposited on the surface of said filter, sucked in by the suction turbine.
- the cleaning effect is therefore annulled or in any case rendered ineffective.
- the suction would have to be interrupted every time a filter is cleaned.
- the disadvantage of the reverse air filter cleaning devices is that they produce a cleaning air-flow which carries a certain quantity of dust and dirt, which is usually released outside. This is evidently disadvantageous for the operator who performs the filter cleaning. Moreover, said cleaning air-flow might also contain solid particles which are even more stinging for the eyes and the lungs, or can even be harmful.
- Document DE 20 2004 012 911 U1 discloses a multi-filter vacuum cleaner with independent shaker cleaning device for each filter, comprising shaker means with striking head, which can be selectively activated and are adapted to acting on each filter.
- Each shaker means with striking head is positioned internally to the corresponding connecting duct, along its longitudinal axis.
- Each shaker mean with striking head is positioned in series with the respective cartridge filter, connecting duct and suction turbine, and is crossed by the primary flow of dusty air.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to provide a multi-filter vacuum cleaner with independent shaker cleaning device for each filter which has a particularly efficient mechanical cleaning effect, without affecting the general operation of the vacuum cleaner and in particular without interrupting the work thereof.
- a further aim of the invention is to provide a cleaning device which is easy and inexpensive to produce, that can be combined with any type of vacuum cleaner, and can also be used in environments with the risk of explosion, in full compliance with the relevant safety regulations.
- a multi-filter vacuum cleaner with independent shaker cleaning device for each filter comprising shaker means with striking head, which can be selectively activated and are adapted to act on each filter, wherein said vacuum cleaner comprises:
- connection ducts comprise a plurality of openings adapted to connect the inside of the corresponding filter to said vacuum chamber to ensure suction of the primary flow of dusty air.
- valve means comprise:
- said activating means of said piston comprise a solenoid or a pneumatic actuator.
- said elastic return means comprise a helical spring coaxial to said duct, arranged between the base of said piston and a ring fixed to a terminal section of said duct.
- said activating means cause the movement of said piston to close said duct, while said elastic return means cause the inverse movement of said piston to open said duct.
- said vacuum cleaner comprises a plurality of turbines, each independently connected to a vacuum chamber.
- connection duct is interposed between each vacuum chamber and each filter arranged between each vacuum chamber and each filter arranged with an outlet adapted to connect the inside of the corresponding filter to said vacuum chamber to ensure suction of the primary flow of dusty air by activating each turbine.
- said valve means comprise:
- said elastic return means comprise a helical spring positioned in said vacuum chamber, between said diaphragm and said turbine.
- the activation of one of said turbines causes the movement of said diaphragm to open the respective duct, while said elastic return means cause the inverse movement of said diaphragm to close said duct.
- said shaker means comprise a striking head, electromechanically activated by a solenoid or by a cam vibrator, adapted to strike said filter to exert a mechanical vibrating action to perform effective cleaning.
- the main advantage of the invention is given by the fact that said shaker means are active on a given cartridge filter only when the corresponding connecting duct between the filter and the turbine is closed by respective valve means, so as to isolate each individual filter during its mechanical cleaning phase with respect to the remaining filters of the vacuum cleaner which remain active, thus optimising the cleaning action.
- valve means described do not require any additional motor for their activation, thus making the cleaning device, and the entire vacuum cleaner, lighter, cheaper and safer, as it can also be used in environments with the risk of explosion or in combination with operating machines that can generate sparks.
- the embodiment of the invention that provides for each filter a single suction chamber directly connected to a single turbine, prevents the shaker means from being lapped by the flow of dusty air sucked and is even cheaper as the use of several turbines in one single vacuum cleaner significantly reduces the suction power required by each of them and therefore saves on the cost of the individual turbines which, in this way, can also be much smaller.
- the lower electrical power requirement and the very compact overall dimensions allow the cleaning device to be easily used on a wide range of vacuum cleaner models, which can also be used on building sites with low availability of electricity, such as civil domestic building sites.

Description
- The invention relates to the sector of industrial vacuum cleaners. In particular the invention concerns a multi-filter vacuum cleaner with independent shaker cleaning device for each filter.
- One problem of industrial vacuum cleaners is that the inner filters clog rapidly, and this requires frequent interventions to remove the solid deposits from the filters and restore their efficiency as far as possible.
- The filters are arranged between a chamber in which a vacuum is created by a suction turbine and a chamber for inlet of the dusty air and collection and accumulation of said dust once separated from the flow sucked in.
- The filters normally comprise one or more cartridges positioned parallel to one another, each of cylindrical shape, with the lateral surface consisting of a sheet of pleated porous material, the lower base closed and the upper base having a circular opening through which the air flows, said air having been previously filtered by passing through said porous material.
- In order to remove the solid deposits of dust from the filters, some vacuum cleaners are provided with a cleaning device, of electromechanical or pneumatic type, comprising a striking head adapted to perform a mechanical shaking action on the vacuum cleaner filters.
- In multi-filter vacuum cleaners, each filter is always cleaned, disadvantageously, while the vacuum cleaner is operating and the filter is in use, and therefore the cloud of dust dislodged from the walls of the filter shaken by the action of the striking head is immediately re-deposited on the surface of said filter, sucked in by the suction turbine.
- The cleaning effect is therefore annulled or in any case rendered ineffective.
- Alternatively, the suction would have to be interrupted every time a filter is cleaned.
- At industrial level, a solution of this kind could never be applied as it would mean continuously stopping the vacuum cleaners and compromising the productivity of the work process.

Document EP 1 997 415 A1 discloses a multi-filter vacuum cleaner comprising: - a suction turbine for sucking a primary flow of dusty air, associated with a vacuum chamber;
- a plurality of cartridge filters for cleaning said primary flow of dusty air, each one connected to said vacuum chamber;
- containment means for containing the dust sucked and retained by said cartridge filters;
- an electrical control unit;
- a plurality of connecting ducts each interposed between one of said cartridge filters and said vacuum chamber;
- valve means, which can be selectively activated and are adapted to reversibly close said connecting ducts,
- a reverse air filter cleaning device.
- Besides the need of additional components, such as valves for reversing the air-flow, and a particular shape of the pressure chamber of the vacuum cleaner, the disadvantage of the reverse air filter cleaning devices is that they produce a cleaning air-flow which carries a certain quantity of dust and dirt, which is usually released outside. This is evidently disadvantageous for the operator who performs the filter cleaning. Moreover, said cleaning air-flow might also contain solid particles which are even more stinging for the eyes and the lungs, or can even be harmful.
- It is therefore necessary to provide a temporary isolation system for each filter so that mechanical cleaning can be performed, for example, by a striking head during temporary interruption of the suction.
