Definitions

  • the invention relates to a particle collection container designed as a standing structure for a cyclone pre-separator, the container base of which can be placed stably on a flat surface and has an open top on which the cyclone pre-separator can be placed, comprising the rectangular container base and four container peripheral walls that extend upwards from the container bottom and define a horizontal outer contour of the particle collection container.
  • the particle collection container mentioned is typically operated together with the cyclone pre-separator as a pre-separation stage of a suction device.
  • the cyclone pre-separator is placed on the particle collection container and connected to the suction device, so that the air flow drawn in by the suction device first passes through the cyclone pre-separator and then through the suction device.
  • the cyclone pre-separator separates a large part of the particles contained in the air flow and discharges them into the particle collection container, where the particles are collected. As a result, fewer particles are transported into the suction device. This is particularly advantageous when the suction device has a bag and/or filter on which particles are separated and which has to be changed when it is filled to a certain degree/degree of soiling.
  • the particle collection container is designed as a standing structure for the cyclone pre-separator - i.e. it serves to support the cyclone pre-separator.
  • the particle collection container is designed to be set down stably on a level surface even with the cyclone pre-separator attached.
  • the particle collection container described is used in particular in the handicraft sector, where it is operated together with a cyclone pre-separator as a preliminary stage for separating the bag suction devices that are common there.
  • a set consisting of a particle collection container and a cyclone pre-separator is available from the company "Oneida Air Systems" under the product name “Ultimate Dust Deputy Kit”.
  • the particle collection container has an essentially cuboid basic shape.
  • a cover can be attached to the top of the particle collection container, to which a conical cyclone pre-separator can be attached.
  • the particle collection container is designed to hold a plastic bag in which the particles separated by the cyclone pre-separator are collected.
  • the GB 2 427 841A describes a cyclone separator unit that can be inserted into a chamber of a vacuum cleaner.
  • the cyclone separator unit includes a cyclone assembly and an elongate debris collection bin to the top of which the cyclone assembly is mounted.
  • the WO 98/35602 A1 describes a vacuum cleaner with a cyclone separator.
  • the cyclone separator has a cyclone part with a cylindrical cyclone housing.
  • the Cyclonic separator includes a collection container for receiving an air-permeable bag.
  • the AT 231 343 B describes a container which is open on one side and has a cross section which tapers downwards on all sides.
  • the container is designed in such a way that it is not necessary to rotate several such containers by 180 degrees when placing them on top of one another or when placing them inside one another.
  • the EP 2 829 209 A2 describes a stackable suction device.
  • One object of the invention is to improve the particle collection container mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used more simply and efficiently.
  • the object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the particle collection container is designed in such a way that the horizontal outer contour defined by the container peripheral walls tapers towards the container bottom and the particle collection container can be stacked in an identical particle collection container.
  • the particle collection container is designed to taper downwards and can be stacked in an identical particle collection container, several particle collection containers can be transported in a stack in a very space-efficient manner. It is therefore possible to take a plurality of particle collection containers with you in a space-efficient manner, so that the particle collection containers provide sufficient collection volume overall to collect the particles to be disposed of.
  • the plastic bags used in the prior art mentioned above can then be dispensed with and the separated particles can go directly into the Particle collection containers are collected. The arrangement according to the invention can therefore be used more simply and efficiently.
  • the feature that the particle collection container can be stacked in an identical particle collection container means that the particle collection container can be used with at least 50%, in particular at least 70%, of its vertical dimension or vertical extension in an identical particle collection container. Furthermore, this feature means in particular that at least three identical particle collection containers can be stacked one inside the other in such a way that together they can form a stable vertical stack.
  • the feature that the container peripheral walls define a horizontal outer contour is intended to mean in particular that the container peripheral walls provide the lateral outer wall of the particle collection container and thus also determine its outer contour.
  • the horizontal outer contour tapers steadily and/or down to the bottom of the container and/or over the entire vertical extension of the particle collection container.
  • the wall planes of the four container perimeter walls are away from the normal vector of the container bottom inclined.
  • the container peripheral walls together define the shape of an inverted truncated pyramid shell. Consequently, all four container perimeter walls contribute to the downwardly tapering horizontal outer contour.
  • the particle collection container preferably has container coupling means.
  • the container coupling means are in particular non-movable container coupling means.
  • the container coupling means are arranged on two opposite container peripheral walls, in particular on two longitudinal container peripheral walls.
  • the bin coupling means engages the lower housing coupling means of the cyclone pre-separator to provide a releasable, vertically tensile coupling between the particulate collection bin and the cyclone pre-separator. Due to the fact that the container coupling means are non-movable coupling means, the particle collection container can be manufactured simply and inexpensively.
  • vertical strong coupling means in particular a coupling that makes it possible by lifting the cyclone pre-separator to a to lift the cyclone pre-separator vertically with the particle collection container that is coupled with high tensile strength.
  • a “vertically tensile coupling” is a coupling which is tensile or stably transmits force in several, preferably in all, spatial directions.
  • the container peripheral walls have an upper edge.
  • a circumferential seal is expediently arranged on the upper edge. The seal can be used to achieve an airtight coupling between the cyclone pre-separator and the particle collection container, as a result of which the suction capacity can be improved during operation.
  • the particle collecting container has container handles on two opposite peripheral walls, in particular two end-side peripheral walls.
  • the container handles make the particle collection container particularly easy to carry.
  • the container handles are formed as spacers, which ensure a predetermined vertical distance between the two tops of the particle collection containers stacked in one another in a state in which the particle collection container is stacked in an identical particle collection container. In this way it is achieved that particle collection containers stacked one inside the other can easily be separated or removed from one another.
  • the container handles preferably have horizontal ridges and vertical ridges. Conveniently, the container handles are formed such that, in a state in which the particle collecting container is stacked in an identical particle collecting container, lower edges of the Vertical webs rest on top of the identical particle collection container and thus ensure the predetermined vertical distance. Such container handles are easy and cheap to produce.
  • the arrangement preferably comprises a bow-shaped carrying handle which can be attached to the container handles of the particle collecting container in a state in which the cyclone preseparator has been removed from the particle collecting container.
  • the particle collection container can be carried with one hand with the aid of such a bow-shaped carrying handle.
  • the particle collection container preferably has two carrying recesses on the underside of the container floor.
  • the particle collection container is particularly heavy due to its filling, it makes sense to carry the particle collection container on its container floor.
  • the person carrying can reach into the carrying indentations with their fingers in order to be able to hold the particle collecting container better.
  • the assembly has a container lid placed on the open top.
  • a recess is expediently provided on the upper side of the container lid, which is designed to correspond to the container bottom of the particle collection container, so that an identical particle collection container can be stacked stably on the container cover. If, as mentioned above, several particle collection containers are used, they can be closed when full with the lid container and for transport or storage due to the provided deepening in the lid are stacked stably on top of each other.
  • the container lid preferably has a length of between 390 mm and 400 mm.
  • the container lid has a width of between 290 mm and 300 mm.
  • the particle collection container is preferably produced by injection molding. Production by injection molding is made possible in particular by the conical design of the particle collection container explained above. Due to the production by injection molding, the particle collection container can be produced more cheaply and can be designed to be less massive overall, so that it is easier to carry.
  • the invention further relates to a stack comprising a particle collection container according to one of the configurations discussed above and an additional particle collection container which is identical to the particle collection container and in which the particle collection container is stacked.
  • the particle collection containers can be easily and space-efficiently transported to the place of use.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement comprising a transport pallet, in particular a Europool pallet.
  • the arrangement preferably comprises sixteen particle collection containers arranged on the transport pallet.
  • the particle collection containers are expediently distributed over two stacking levels. Each stack level has expediently over two rows, each with four particle collection containers. Each stacking level expediently takes up more than 90%, in particular more than 95%, of the base area of the transport pallet.
  • the particle collection containers can be transported in a space-efficient manner, in particular when they are full.
  • the invention also relates to a method for disposing of absorbable particles, in particular dust particles.
  • the method includes in particular the step of sucking up the particles using a cyclone separator, in particular a cyclone pre-separator, into a particle collection container.
  • the particle collection container is expediently designed according to one of the configurations discussed above.
  • the method preferably also includes the step of closing the particle collection container.
  • the method expediently also includes the step of feeding the particles to their final disposal, in particular waste incineration, final storage and/or recycling, in the particle collection container. In this way it is achieved that the particles remain in the particle collection container until their final disposal or until they are transported to the plant where the final disposal takes place.
  • the particles are consequently sucked up into the particle collection container in one step and then remain there until they are finally disposed of or until they have been transported to the location of their final disposal. Consequently, pouring processes and the contamination associated with them can be avoided.
  • the invention also relates to a method for sucking up dust particles.
  • the method preferably includes the Step of sucking up particles into a particle collection container using a cyclone separator placed on the particle collection container, in particular a cyclone pre-separator.
  • the particle collection container is expediently a particle collection container as described above. More specifically, the method includes the steps of detaching the cyclone separator from the particulate collector, attaching the cyclone separator to an auxiliary particulate collector, and sucking particles into the auxiliary particulate collector using the cyclone separator. Consequently, the additional particle collection container is used as an interchangeable container - as soon as the particle collection container is filled, it can be replaced by the additional particle collection container. The particles sucked up are thus collected in several particle collection containers and the plastic bags used in the prior art for receiving or collecting the particles sucked up can be dispensed with.
