Definitions
- the present invention relates to a suction system comprising a central suction system, a plurality of suction points fluidically connected to the suction system, each with a throttle valve for each suction point and with a means for manual adjustment of the throttle valve.
- the invention also relates to an actuating element for installation in such a suction system and to a control method for a suction system.
- Such extraction systems are regularly used to collect and clean the working air of pollutants such as soldering fumes, welding fumes, laser or adhesive vapors and all types of dust.
- the EP 2 147 727 A1 describes a suction system comprising a suction device, a control device for controlling the suction device, a plurality of work stations, each of which is provided with a user base which is assigned to the suction device and can be operated between an operating state in which it develops a suction effect and a state of rest , and with a wireless transmitter module that is suitable for generating a wireless signal that represents the operating state or the idle state.
- the suction system further comprises a wireless receiving module which is assigned to the wireless transmitting modules in order to receive signals wirelessly and which is connected to the control device in order to send the content of the signals to the device.
- the control device is designed in such a way that it switches the suction device on and off depending on the content of the signals.
- the U.S. 3,283,093 A relates to inlet valves for built-in vacuum cleaner systems and the like, and more particularly to such a device in which the valve body and hinged lid therefor are formed from a flexible plastic material such as vinyl.
- the object of the invention is to simplify the construction and operation of suction systems.
- this object is achieved according to the invention by a sensor for detecting a position of the throttle valve and by a signaling connection device between the sensor and the suction system.
- the generic suction system regularly includes a central suction system that cleans polluted air.
- a plurality of suction points are fluidically connected to the suction system.
- the suction system generates a negative pressure, which it directs to the suction points via fluid lines.
- the fluid lines can contain rigid and articulated sections.
- the suction points include detection elements for detecting contaminated working air. They can be designed, for example, as suction arms, suction slot channels, under-table suction devices or the like. Extraction arms can make it easier to position the suction points at the point of use.
- the suction points are mostly located away from the installation site of the suction system, for example in a neighboring room for acoustic reasons.
- an adjusting element for. B. a toggle, lever or handwheel can be attached.
- the adjusting element can be in operative connection with a throttle valve with which the suction power of each suction point can be adjusted. In this way, the respective suction power can be largely adapted to individual needs using the adjustment element and throttle valve.
- the manually set position of the throttle valve is now detected by means of a sensor and then transmitted to the suction system.
- the suction system then adjusts the suction power to the specific needs of the system.
- the invention thus turns away from providing complex pressure differential controls and comparable control methods in order to precisely record the specific suction conditions. Rather, it pursues the principle of individually recording the individual extraction requirements at each workstation and forwarding them to the extraction system so that the extraction system can generate and forward the current overall extraction performance. You consequently succeed in keeping the suction power constant at the suction points that are not affected in each case with little construction effort, despite changing suction requirements.
- the suction system can have a control device for processing a signal from the sensor and for adapting the suction power of the suction system.
- the signal can be sent to the control device of the suction system itself or to an external control of the suction system, for example to a connection-programmed or hard-wired control (VPS) or to a programmable logic controller (PLC).
- the sensor can be attached at almost any location in a fluid line of a suction point as long as it only senses the position of the throttle valve of the suction point assigned to it or of the detection element assigned to it.
- the sensor is therefore regularly attached in the immediate vicinity of the throttle valve or on or in the actuating element.
- at least the sensor can therefore be arranged on an undisturbed pipe or hose of the suction system or in a joint of the suction system or on a hood or suction tip of the suction point.
- the location of the sensor can be largely independent of the location of the adjustment element and the throttle valve and can, for example, be based on its space or assembly criteria.
- the sensor can detect the position of the throttle valve - for example optically - not only over great distances, but also indirectly, as it does not detect the position of the throttle valve itself, but the position of the toggle coupled to the throttle valve, for example. If the toggle is coupled, for example, via a gear mechanism and thus not directly to the throttle valve, the toggle can also be spatially remote from the throttle valve. The sensor can then detect the position of any gear element instead of the position of the throttle valve or the toggle. This offers numerous design options and freedom in the arrangement of the throttle valve, the toggle and the sensor.
- an actuating element for an extraction system which is equipped with a sensor and with a signaling connection device for connecting the sensor to the extraction system.
- the connection device provides an interface to the extraction system.
- the interface can be adapted to known standards for interfaces of the extraction system or it can be individually assembled.
- the actuating element can additionally also comprise a throttle valve and an adjusting element for it.
- the actuating element with the throttle valve, the adjusting element for the throttle valve and the sensor can, depending on requirements and / or the embodiment of the detection element, for example an extraction arm, for example in a smooth-walled pipe section, in a joint, in a suction hood or at another user-accessible location in the Suction flow of the respective suction point can be mounted between the suction system, which is regularly away from the user, and the suction hood or suction tip close to the user.
- the sensor of the suction system or of the actuating element can detect and transmit an open and a closed position of the throttle valve. It thus offers a particularly cost-effective solution because it only needs to be set up to sense two states.
- the senor can also detect and transmit any position between the open and closed positions of the throttle valve. This offers a finer and more precise recording of requirements, with which the extraction system can be adapted more precisely to the respective requirements and thus operated more effectively.
- the senor of the suction system or of the actuating element can be designed as a reed relay or as a rotary encoder or as an angular position encoder, in particular as a potentiometer, as an incremental encoder or as an absolute encoder.
- known components are available for forming the sensor, which allow an inexpensive and easy-to-implement production and a similar repair in the event of damage.
- the senor of the suction system or of the actuating element can have an electrical line connection or a wireless signal connection as a signaling connection device.
- the electrical line connection is particularly useful in the case of great distances and, for example, structural obstacles between the location of the sensor and the location of the suction system.
- a wireless connection can offer simple equipment or retrofitting for shorter, unobstructed distances.
- the method according to the invention is based on a suction system with several suction points or detection devices for contaminated air.
- the method begins in response to a change in the position of a throttle valve in step a) with the detection of the changed position of the throttle valve. For example, if one of five previously open throttle valves was closed, the closed position of the closed throttle valve is now recorded. From the new position of the throttle valve detected by sensors, a signal is generated in step b), which is transmitted to the suction system and there, for example, to a control device. Then in step c) the suction power of the suction system is adapted to the signaled new position of the throttle valve, in the example by reducing the suction power by a fifth.
- the changed position of a throttle valve which is detected in a step a), can also relate to its opening after a previous closed position.
- the open throttle valve is signaled to the suction system in step b), whereupon the suction system increases its output according to the throttle valve's share of the total number of throttle valves in the suction system.
- step a changed positions of several throttle valves can also be detected in step a).
- the procedure then proceeds accordingly.
- temporally offset changes can also be detected, passed on to the suction system and taken into account there accordingly.
- the Detection not only exhausted in the detection of an open position or a closed position.
- the sensors can also be designed to detect intermediate positions, so that, according to the invention, gradual changes in the position of the throttle valves can also be detected and taken into account.
- the method can initially start from a predefined situation in order to then be able to control the suction power as required.
- the suction power of the suction system can be increased accordingly in the manner of the method according to the invention described above by opening the throttle valves at the suction points.
- all throttle valves can be assumed to be in an open position, so that the suction system makes its maximum suction power available at the start of operation.
- manual input on the part of the user may be required, which, for example, specifies the number of open and closed throttle valves.
- the method can detect the positions of all throttle valves at the start of operation in a step 0) before step a) and signal them to the suction system.
- the method thus first records an actual state of all throttle valves, whereupon the suction system provides the suction power required for this. Operation of the suction system can thus be started in the state of the suction system in which it was previously switched off.
- the creation or specification of an initial state by the user can thus be dispensed with.
- the central suction system can be switched off manually or, for example, time-controlled.
- the suction system can be switched off as soon as each throttle valve is signaled as closed. An actuation step of the suction system can thus be omitted. This is particularly advantageous in the case of suction systems that are located in a different room than the one in which the suction points or detection elements are attached. In this way, unnecessary running of the suction system and the associated expenditure of energy can be avoided.
- Fig. 1 shows an extraction system comprising a stationary extraction system 1 which contains a control device 2 and an extraction pipe 3.
- the suction system 1 is connected to three suction points 10, 10 'by means of the suction pipe 3, the suction pipe 3 therefore forwards a negative pressure or suction generated by the suction system 1 to three suction points 10, 10'.
- Each suction point 10, 10 ′ comprises a connecting pipe 3 a, which is fluidically connected to the suction pipe 3 at a branch 17. It also has a suction hood (not shown) facing a user.
- Each connecting pipe 3a contains in a section 18 - which is shown enlarged by way of example only once - a rotatably mounted throttle valve 11, which can be operated manually via a toggle 12 attached to the outside.
- a sensor 13 which detects the position of the throttle valve 11, is also attached to the connecting pipe 3 a.
- the sensor 13 is a reed relay, the reed contact of which is mounted on or in the wall of the connecting pipe 3a.
- Magnets 11a, 11b which interact with the reed relay 13 are attached to or in the throttle valve 11 or to the toggle 12 in order to make their position detectable.
- the sensor 13 is connected to the suction system 1 or its internal control device 2 via an electrical line 14.
- the section 18 of the connecting pipe 3a can be produced separately and integrated as an actuating element in an existing system and thus retrofitted.
- the user can vary the position of the throttle valve 11 on the toggle 12 and thus change the suction power acting at the suction point 10, that is to say vary it in terms of its intensity and switch it on or off.
- the adjustment of the throttle valve 11 to change the suction power at the suction point 10 is detected by the sensor 13 and transmits a corresponding signal to the control device 2 of the suction system 1 via the line 14.
- the transmission can also take place wirelessly instead of the electrical line 14. As a result, the electrical line 14 can be omitted.
- the suction system 1 In response to the corresponding signal, the suction system 1 adjusts its suction power accordingly to the requirements of the suction point 10, so that it only provides the suction power actually required at the suction point 10. If the sensor 13 detects, for example, a closed position of the throttle valve 11, the suction system 1 throttles its suction power or switches it off if necessary.
- the suction system 1 is loud Fig. 1 connected to three parallel suction points 10, 10 '.
- the sensor 13 instead of distributing the suction power to the remaining two suction points 10 'when the third suction point 10 is closed, the sensor 13 according to the invention effects a reduction in the flow rate when only the throttle valve 11 is closed - which means that only one of the three suction points 10, 10' is switched off Suction power, in this case by a third.
- the reduction does not impair the suction power of the other suction points 10 ', but rather ensures that the same suction power is applied there as before.
- the sensor 13 informs the suction system 1, if necessary, that the previously closed suction point 10 is open again and more suction power is required when the suction point 10 is switched on again by turning the throttle valve 11.
- the suction power optimization thus prevents unnecessary energy consumption, fluctuating suction power at parallel suction points 10, 10 'and is both environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
- FIG. 2a shows a section of a 2-articulated suction arm as a section of a connecting pipe 3a with possible nominal widths of, for example, 50, 75, 100 or 200 mm.
- Figure 2b shows a section of a suction arm for table mounting, which can also include more joints than just the joint 15 shown.
- the illustrated embodiments of connecting pipes 3a, the throttle valve 11 together with the toggle 12 and the sensor 13 are attached in the respective suction arm in the undisturbed course of the smooth-walled connecting pipe 3a.
- a reed relay consisting of a reed switch and magnets 11a, 11b is used as the sensor 13.
- the sensor 13 is connected via the line 14 to a motor M or an internal control device or a PLC.
- the magnets 11a, 11b are attached to the throttle valve 11, while the reed switch itself is fixed to the housing in the area of a rotary bearing of the toggle 12 on the connecting tube 3a.
- Fig. 2a is the connecting pipe 3a between two joints 15, for example when mounting the suction arm on a table, wall or ceiling.
- Figure 2b connects the connecting pipe 3a to a table mount of the suction arm.
- the line 14 can connect the sensor 13 directly to the motor of the suction system or to an internal or an external control device of the suction system 1.
- a wireless signaling device between the sensor 13 and the suction system 1 Fig. 1
- the throttle valve 11, the toggle 12 and the sensor 13 can already be built into the connecting pipe 3a. The then only necessary replacement of the connecting pipe 3a and, if necessary, the establishment of the line connection 14 of the sensor 13 with the suction system 1 ( Fig. 1 , 2a ) is associated with relatively little effort.
- the here semicircular or parabolic throttle valve 11, the toggle 12 and the sensor 13 are attached directly to and in the joint 15 of a suction arm.
- the joint 15 is in two parts and can be dismantled, at least the magnets 11a, 11b on the existing throttle valve 11 and the reed switch of the sensor 13 on the existing toggle 12 can be conveniently retrofitted there.
- the signal connection to the extraction system 1 can be done by radio, which results in the lowest possible material and assembly costs for the implementation of the invention.
- the Figures 4 to 6 show suction arms with a corrugated tube as a joint 22 (which can also extend over almost the entire course of the suction arm: Fig. 6 ), with a telescopic section 20 (only Fig. 4 ) and with a user-facing suction hood 31 of a suction point.
- the throttle valve 11, the toggle 12 and the sensor 13 are each accommodated directly downstream of the suction hood 31 itself or in a cylindrical connection piece of the suction hood 31. In the vicinity of the suction hood 31, they offer a high level of user-friendliness due to the easy accessibility of the toggle 12.
- the invention can only be retrofitted by replacing the suction hood 31, so that the rest of the suction arm is not affected by a conversion.
- Fig. 7 shows in an exploded view a possible actuating element according to the invention as a retrofit part. It comprises the smooth-walled connecting pipe 3a as a section of the connecting pipe 3a according to FIG Fig. 1 , in which the throttle valve 11 with the attached magnets 11a, 11b is rotatably mounted.
- the throttle valve 11 can be adjusted with the toggle 12, which is held in a pivot bearing 16 for the rotatable mounting of the toggle 12 in the connecting pipe 3a.
- the reed switch 13 is installed fixed to the housing in the rotary bearing 16, so that it is at the greatest distance from the magnets 11a, 11b transversely to the flow axis of the connecting pipe 3a in both closed positions of the throttle valve 11.
- the reed switch 13 detects the position of the throttle valve 11 indirectly to the extent that it senses not its position but the position of the toggle 12.
- the reed switch 13 transmits the information about its switching status to the suction system 1 via the electrical line 14 ( Fig. 1 ) further.
- the fully assembled actuating element according to Fig. 7 can be installed in a suction arm of a suction system instead of a pipe of the same dimensions or exchanged for such a pipe with little manual effort.
- the suction system and the actuating element described in detail above are exemplary embodiments, they can be modified in a wide scope by a person skilled in the art in the usual manner without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the specific design of the actuating element can also take place in a form other than that described here, for example as a retrofit part of a joint or a suction hood.
- the housing or pipe sections in which the throttle valve, the toggle or the sensor are attached or accommodated can generally be designed in a different shape if this is necessary for reasons of space or design.
- the use of the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude the possibility that the relevant features can also be present several times or more than once.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Absaugsystem umfassend eine zentrale Absauganlage, eine Mehrzahl von mit der Absauganlage fluidisch verbundenen Saugstellen, mit jeweils einer Drosselklappe jeder Saugstelle und mit einem Mittel zur manuellen Verstellung der Drosselklappe. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Betätigungselement zum Einbau in ein derartiges Absaugsystem sowie ein Steuerungsverfahren für ein Absaugsystem. Derartige Absaugsysteme kommen regelmäßig zum Erfassen und Reinigen der Arbeitsluft von Schadstoffen wie Lötrauch, Schweißrauch, Laser- oder Klebstoffdämpfen und allen Arten von Stäuben zum Einsatz.The present invention relates to a suction system comprising a central suction system, a plurality of suction points fluidically connected to the suction system, each with a throttle valve for each suction point and with a means for manual adjustment of the throttle valve. The invention also relates to an actuating element for installation in such a suction system and to a control method for a suction system. Such extraction systems are regularly used to collect and clean the working air of pollutants such as soldering fumes, welding fumes, laser or adhesive vapors and all types of dust.
Die
Die
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Aufbau und den Betrieb von Absaugsystemen zu vereinfachen.The object of the invention is to simplify the construction and operation of suction systems.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem eingangs genannten Absaugsystem erfindungsgemäß durch einen Sensor zur Erfassung einer Stellung der Drosselklappe und durch eine signaltechnische Verbindungseinrichtung des Sensors mit der Absauganlage gelöst.In the suction system mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention by a sensor for detecting a position of the throttle valve and by a signaling connection device between the sensor and the suction system.
Das gattungsgemäße Absaugsystem umfasst regelmäßig eine zentrale Absauganlage, die schadstoffbelastete Luft reinigt. An der Absauganlage ist eine Mehrzahl von Saugstellen fluidisch angeschlossen. Die Absauganlage erzeugt einen Unterdruck, den sie über Fluidleitungen zu den Saugstellen leitet. Die Fluidleitungen können starre und gelenkige Abschnitte enthalten. Die Saugstellen umfassen Erfassungselemente zum Erfassen von kontaminierter Arbeitsluft. Sie können zum Beispiel als Absaugarme, Saugschlitzkanäle, Untertischabsaugungen oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein. Absaugarme können eine Positionierung der Saugstellen am Einsatzort erleichtern.The generic suction system regularly includes a central suction system that cleans polluted air. A plurality of suction points are fluidically connected to the suction system. The suction system generates a negative pressure, which it directs to the suction points via fluid lines. The fluid lines can contain rigid and articulated sections. The suction points include detection elements for detecting contaminated working air. They can be designed, for example, as suction arms, suction slot channels, under-table suction devices or the like. Extraction arms can make it easier to position the suction points at the point of use.
Die Saugstellen liegen meistens entfernt vom Aufstellungsort der Absauganlage, zum Beispiel aus akustischen Gründen in einem Nachbarraum. Bei jeder Saugstelle bzw. an jedem Erfassungselement kann ein Verstellelement, z. B. ein Knebel, Hebel oder Handrad angebracht sein. Das Verstellelement kann mit einer Drosselklappe in Wirkverbindung stehen, mit der sich die Saugleistung einer jeden Saugstelle einstellen lässt. Somit kann die jeweilige Saugleistung per Verstellelement und Drosselklappe dem individuellen Bedarf weitgehend angepasst werden.The suction points are mostly located away from the installation site of the suction system, for example in a neighboring room for acoustic reasons. At each suction point or at each detection element, an adjusting element, for. B. a toggle, lever or handwheel can be attached. The adjusting element can be in operative connection with a throttle valve with which the suction power of each suction point can be adjusted. In this way, the respective suction power can be largely adapted to individual needs using the adjustment element and throttle valve.
Erfindungsgemäß wird nun die manuell eingestellte Stellung der Drosselklappe mittels eines Sensors erfasst und dann an die Absauganlage übermittelt. Daraufhin passt die Absauganlage die Saugleistung den konkreten Bedürfnissen der Anlage an. Die Erfindung wendet sich also davon ab, aufwändige Druckdifferenzsteuerungen und vergleichbare Steuerungsverfahren vorzusehen, um die konkreten Saugverhältnisse genau zu erfassen. Sie verfolgt vielmehr das Prinzip, den individuellen Absaugbedarf an jedem Arbeitsplatz einzeln zu erfassen und an die Absauganlage weiterzuleiten, so dass die Absauganlage die jeweils aktuelle Gesamt-Absaugleistung erzeugen und weiterleiten kann. Ihr gelingt es folglich mit geringen konstruktivem Aufwand, trotz wechselnden Absaugbedarfs die Saugleistung an den jeweils nicht betroffenen Absaugstellen konstant zu halten.According to the invention, the manually set position of the throttle valve is now detected by means of a sensor and then transmitted to the suction system. The suction system then adjusts the suction power to the specific needs of the system. The invention thus turns away from providing complex pressure differential controls and comparable control methods in order to precisely record the specific suction conditions. Rather, it pursues the principle of individually recording the individual extraction requirements at each workstation and forwarding them to the extraction system so that the extraction system can generate and forward the current overall extraction performance. You consequently succeed in keeping the suction power constant at the suction points that are not affected in each case with little construction effort, despite changing suction requirements.
Das Signal des Sensors kann unmittelbar an einen Motor der Absauganlage weitergeleitet werden. Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Absaugsystem über eine Steuerungseinrichtung zur Verarbeitung eines Signals des Sensors und zur Anpassung der Saugleistung der Absauganlage verfügen. Das Signal kann an die Steuerungseinrichtung der Absauganlage selbst oder an eine externe Steuerung der Absauganlage geschickt werden, zum Beispiel an eine verbindungsprogrammierte oder festverdrahtete Steuerung (VPS) oder an eine speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung (SPS). Grundsätzlich kann der Sensor an einem nahezu beliebigen Ort in einer Fluidleitung einer Saugstelle angebracht sein, solange er nur die Stellung der Drosselklappe der ihm zugeordneten Saugstelle bzw. des ihm zugeordneten Erfassungselements sensiert. Regelmäßig wird der Sensor daher in der unmittelbaren Nähe der Drosselklappe oder am oder im Betätigungselement angebracht sein. Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann daher zumindest der Sensor an einem ungestörten Rohr oder Schlauch des Absaugsystems oder in einem Gelenk des Absaugsystems oder an einer Haube oder Saugspitze der Saugstelle angeordnet sein. Damit kann der Anbringungsort des Sensors weitgehend unabhängig von den Anbringungsorten des Verstellelements und der Drosselklappe sein und sich beispielsweise an seinen Platz- oder Montagekriterien orientieren.The signal from the sensor can be forwarded directly to a motor in the suction system. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the suction system can have a control device for processing a signal from the sensor and for adapting the suction power of the suction system. The signal can be sent to the control device of the suction system itself or to an external control of the suction system, for example to a connection-programmed or hard-wired control (VPS) or to a programmable logic controller (PLC). In principle, the sensor can be attached at almost any location in a fluid line of a suction point as long as it only senses the position of the throttle valve of the suction point assigned to it or of the detection element assigned to it. The sensor is therefore regularly attached in the immediate vicinity of the throttle valve or on or in the actuating element. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least the sensor can therefore be arranged on an undisturbed pipe or hose of the suction system or in a joint of the suction system or on a hood or suction tip of the suction point. In this way, the location of the sensor can be largely independent of the location of the adjustment element and the throttle valve and can, for example, be based on its space or assembly criteria.
Der Sensor kann die Stellung der Drosselklappe - zum Beispiel optisch - nicht nur über größer Distanzen erfassen, sondern auch insofern indirekt, als er nicht die Stellung der Drosselklappe selbst, sondern die Stellung zum Beispiel des mit der Drosselklappe gekoppelten Knebels erfasst. Ist der Knebel beispielsweise per Getriebe und damit nicht unmittelbar mit der Drosselklappe gekoppelt, kann auch der Knebel räumlich entfernt von der Drosselklappe sein. Der Sensor kann dann anstatt der Stellung der Drosselklappe oder des Knebels die Stellung eines beliebigen Getriebeglieds erfassen. Damit bieten sich zahlreiche Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten und Freiheiten in der Anordnung der Drosselklappe, des Knebels und des Sensors.The sensor can detect the position of the throttle valve - for example optically - not only over great distances, but also indirectly, as it does not detect the position of the throttle valve itself, but the position of the toggle coupled to the throttle valve, for example. If the toggle is coupled, for example, via a gear mechanism and thus not directly to the throttle valve, the toggle can also be spatially remote from the throttle valve. The sensor can then detect the position of any gear element instead of the position of the throttle valve or the toggle. This offers numerous design options and freedom in the arrangement of the throttle valve, the toggle and the sensor.
Die eingangs genannt Aufgabe wird außerdem gelöst durch ein Betätigungselement für eine Absauganlage, die mit einem Sensor und mit einer signaltechnischen Verbindungseinrichtung für die Verbindung des Sensors mit der Absauganlage ausgestattet ist. Die Verbindungseinrichtung stellt eine Schnittstelle zur Absauganlage zur Verfügung. Die Schnittstelle kann an bekannte Standards für Schnittstellen der Absauganlage angepasst oder individuell konfektioniert sein. Das Betätigungselement kann zusätzlich auch eine Drosselklappe und ein Verstellelement dafür umfassen. Damit lassen sich bestehende Absaugsysteme nachrüsten, um den Absaugbedarf an jedem Arbeitsplatz einzeln erfassen und an die Absauganlage weiterleiten zu können, so dass auch vorhandene Absauganlagen die konkrete Absaugleistung erzeugen und weiterleiten können.The object mentioned at the beginning is also achieved by an actuating element for an extraction system, which is equipped with a sensor and with a signaling connection device for connecting the sensor to the extraction system. The connection device provides an interface to the extraction system. The interface can be adapted to known standards for interfaces of the extraction system or it can be individually assembled. The actuating element can additionally also comprise a throttle valve and an adjusting element for it. This means that existing extraction systems can be retrofitted in order to be able to individually record the extraction requirements at each workstation and forward them to the extraction system, so that existing extraction systems can also generate and forward the specific extraction performance.
Das Betätigungselement mit der Drosselklappe, dem Verstellelement für die Drosselklappe und dem Sensor kann je nach Bedarf und/oder Ausführungsform des Erfassungselements, beispielsweise eines Absaugarms, zum Beispiel in einem glattwandigen Rohrabschnitt, in einem Gelenk, in einer Absaughaube oder an einer anderen benutzerzugänglichen Stelle im Saugstrom der jeweiligen Saugstelle zwischen der regelmäßig benutzerfernen Absauganlage und der benutzernahen Absaughaube oder Absaugspitze montiert werden. Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Sensor des Absaugsystems oder des Betätigungselements eine geöffnete und eine geschlossene Stellung der Drosselklappe erfassen und übermitteln. Damit bietet er eine besonders kostengünstige Lösung, weil er nur dazu eingerichtet sein muss, zwei Zustände zu sensieren.The actuating element with the throttle valve, the adjusting element for the throttle valve and the sensor can, depending on requirements and / or the embodiment of the detection element, for example an extraction arm, for example in a smooth-walled pipe section, in a joint, in a suction hood or at another user-accessible location in the Suction flow of the respective suction point can be mounted between the suction system, which is regularly away from the user, and the suction hood or suction tip close to the user. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sensor of the suction system or of the actuating element can detect and transmit an open and a closed position of the throttle valve. It thus offers a particularly cost-effective solution because it only needs to be set up to sense two states.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Sensor auch jede Stellung zwischen der geöffneten und der geschlossenen Stellung der Drosselklappe erfassen und übermitteln. Damit bietet sich eine feinere und genauere Bedarfserfassung, womit die Absauganlage präziser an den jeweiligen Bedarf angepasst und damit effektiver betrieben werden kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sensor can also detect and transmit any position between the open and closed positions of the throttle valve. This offers a finer and more precise recording of requirements, with which the extraction system can be adapted more precisely to the respective requirements and thus operated more effectively.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Sensor des Absaugsystems oder des Betätigungselements als ein Reed-Relais oder als Drehgeber oder als Winkellagegeber, insbesondere als Potentiometer, als Inkrementalgeber oder als Absolutwertgeber, ausgebildet sein. Damit stehen bekannte Bauelemente zur Ausbildung des Sensors zur Verfügung, die eine kostengünstige und einfach zu bewerkstelligende Herstellung und eine ebensolche Reparatur im Schadensfall ermöglichen.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sensor of the suction system or of the actuating element can be designed as a reed relay or as a rotary encoder or as an angular position encoder, in particular as a potentiometer, as an incremental encoder or as an absolute encoder. In this way, known components are available for forming the sensor, which allow an inexpensive and easy-to-implement production and a similar repair in the event of damage.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Sensor des Absaugsystems oder des Betätigungselements über eine elektrische Leitungsverbindung oder eine drahtlose Signalverbindung als signaltechnische Verbindungseinrichtung verfügen. Die elektrische Leitungsverbindung bietet sich insbesondere bei großen Entfernungen und bei zum Beispiel baulichen Hindernissen zwischen dem Ort des Sensors und dem Ort der Absauganlage an. Eine drahtlose Verbindung dagegen kann bei kürzeren und hindernisarmen Distanzen eine handwerklich einfache Aus- oder Nachrüstung bieten.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sensor of the suction system or of the actuating element can have an electrical line connection or a wireless signal connection as a signaling connection device. The electrical line connection is particularly useful in the case of great distances and, for example, structural obstacles between the location of the sensor and the location of the suction system. A wireless connection, on the other hand, can offer simple equipment or retrofitting for shorter, unobstructed distances.
Die eingangs genannte Aufgabe wird außerdem gelöst durch ein Steuerungsverfahren für ein Absaugsystem mit einer Mehrzahl an Saugstellen, mit jeweils einer manuell verstellbaren Drosselklappe an jeder Saugstelle, mit jeweils einem Sensor zur Erfassung der Stellung der Drosselklappen und mit einer zentralen Absauganlage. Das Verfahren umfasst erfindungsgemäß die folgenden Schritte:
- a) Erfassen der veränderten Stellung einer Drosselklappe,
- b) Übertragen eines der Stellung der Drosselklappe entsprechenden Signals an die Absauganlage,
- c) Anpassen der Saugleistung der Absauganlage an die signalisierte Stellung der Drosselklappe.
- a) detecting the changed position of a throttle valve,
- b) Transmission of a signal corresponding to the position of the throttle valve to the extraction system,
- c) Adjusting the suction power of the suction system to the signaled position of the throttle valve.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren geht also von einer Absauganlage mit mehreren Saugstellen bzw. Erfassungseinrichtungen für kontaminierte Luft aus. Im laufenden Betrieb beginnt das Verfahren auf eine Veränderung der Stellung einer Drosselklappe hin in Schritt a) mit der Erfassung der veränderten Stellung der Drosselklappe. Wurde beispielsweise eine von fünf bislang offenen Drosselklappen geschlossen, wird nun die Verschlussstellung der geschlossenen Drosselklappe erfasst. Aus der sensorisch erfassten neuen Stellung der Drosselklappe wird in Schritt b) ein Signal erstellt, das an die Absauganlage und dort beispielsweise an eine Steuerungseinrichtung übertragen wird. Daraufhin wird in Schritt c) die Saugleistung der Absauganlage an die signalisierte neue Stellung der Drosselklappe angepasst, im Beispiel indem die Saugleistung um ein Fünftel reduziert wird. Dabei ist es gar nicht relevant, welche der fünf Drosselklappen geschlossen wurde, sondern lediglich die Tatsache, dass eine der Drosselklappen geschlossen wurde. Damit es nun an den verbleibenden beispielsweise vier Saugstellen zu keinen Leistungsschwankungen kommt, sondern dort eine unveränderte Saugleistung vorliegt, reduziert die zentrale Absauganlage ihre Saugleistung unter Berücksichtigung der Gesamtanzahl der Saugstellen.The method according to the invention is based on a suction system with several suction points or detection devices for contaminated air. During operation, the method begins in response to a change in the position of a throttle valve in step a) with the detection of the changed position of the throttle valve. For example, if one of five previously open throttle valves was closed, the closed position of the closed throttle valve is now recorded. From the new position of the throttle valve detected by sensors, a signal is generated in step b), which is transmitted to the suction system and there, for example, to a control device. Then in step c) the suction power of the suction system is adapted to the signaled new position of the throttle valve, in the example by reducing the suction power by a fifth. It is not at all relevant which of the five throttle valves was closed, only the fact that one of the throttle valves was closed. So that there are no power fluctuations at the remaining, for example, four suction points, but instead the suction power remains unchanged, the central suction system reduces its suction power, taking into account the total number of suction points.
Die veränderte Stellung einer Drosselklappe, die in einem Schritt a) erfasst wird, kann auch deren Öffnung nach einer vorangegangenen Verschlussstellung betreffen. Um nun an den verbleibenden Saugstellen keinen Leistungsabfall der Saugleistung zu verursachen, wird der Absauganlage in Schritt b) die geöffnete Drosselklappe signalisiert, woraufhin die Absauganlage ihre Leistung entsprechend dem Anteil der Drosselklappe an der Gesamtanzahl der Drosselklappen des Absaugsystems erhöht.The changed position of a throttle valve, which is detected in a step a), can also relate to its opening after a previous closed position. In order not to cause a drop in suction power at the remaining suction points, the open throttle valve is signaled to the suction system in step b), whereupon the suction system increases its output according to the throttle valve's share of the total number of throttle valves in the suction system.
Selbstverständlich können in Schritt a) veränderte Stellungen auch mehrerer Drosselklappen erfasst werden. Das Verfahren verläuft dann sinngemäß. Neben der Erfassung von gleichzeitig veränderten Stellungen der Drosselklappen können erfindungsgemäß auch zeitlich versetzte Änderungen erfasst, an die Absauganlage weitergeleitet und dort entsprechend berücksichtig werden. Außerdem braucht sich die Erfassung nicht nur in der Detektion einer Öffnungsstellung oder einer Schließstellung zu erschöpfen. Die Sensoren können auch zur Erfassung von Zwischenstellungen ausgebildet sein, womit erfindungsgemäß auch graduelle Veränderungen der Stellung der Drosselklappen erfasst und berücksichtigt werden können.Of course, changed positions of several throttle valves can also be detected in step a). The procedure then proceeds accordingly. In addition to the detection of simultaneously changed positions of the throttle valves, according to the invention, temporally offset changes can also be detected, passed on to the suction system and taken into account there accordingly. In addition, the Detection not only exhausted in the detection of an open position or a closed position. The sensors can also be designed to detect intermediate positions, so that, according to the invention, gradual changes in the position of the throttle valves can also be detected and taken into account.
Zu Betriebsbeginn kann das Verfahren zunächst von einer vorgegebenen Situation ausgehen, um anschließend eine bedarfsgerechte Steuerung der Absaugleistung bewerkstelligen zu können. Dazu kann beispielsweise gefordert sein, dass die Drosselklappen aller Saugstellen geschlossen sind und benutzerseitig nötigenfalls geschlossen werden. Nach einem Einschalten der Absauganlage kann dann mit dem Öffnen der Drosselklappen an den Saugstellen die Saugleistung der Absauganlage in der oben beschriebenen Weise des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens entsprechend gesteigert werden. Alternativ kann von einer Öffnungsstellung aller Drosselklappen ausgegangen werden, womit die Absauganlage am Betriebsbeginn ihre maximale Saugleistung zur Verfügung stellt. Nach einer weiteren Alternative kann eine benutzerseitige manuelle Eingabe erforderlich sein, die beispielsweise die Anzahl der geöffneten und der geschlossenen Drosselklappen angibt. Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Verfahren dazu zu Betriebsbeginn in einem Schritt 0) vor dem Schritt a) die Stellungen aller Drosselklappen erfassen und an die Absauganlage signalisieren. Das Verfahren erfasst also zunächst einen Ist-Zustand aller Drosselklappen, woraufhin die Absauganlage die dafür benötigte Saugleistung zur Verfügung stellt. Damit kann Betrieb der Absauganlage in demjenigen Zustand des Absaugsystems begonnen werden, in dem es vorher abgeschaltet wurde. Das benutzerseitige Herstellen oder Angeben eines Ausgangszustands kann damit entfallen.At the start of operation, the method can initially start from a predefined situation in order to then be able to control the suction power as required. For this purpose, it may be required, for example, that the throttle valves of all suction points are closed and, if necessary, are closed by the user. After the suction system has been switched on, the suction power of the suction system can be increased accordingly in the manner of the method according to the invention described above by opening the throttle valves at the suction points. Alternatively, all throttle valves can be assumed to be in an open position, so that the suction system makes its maximum suction power available at the start of operation. According to a further alternative, manual input on the part of the user may be required, which, for example, specifies the number of open and closed throttle valves. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the method can detect the positions of all throttle valves at the start of operation in a step 0) before step a) and signal them to the suction system. The method thus first records an actual state of all throttle valves, whereupon the suction system provides the suction power required for this. Operation of the suction system can thus be started in the state of the suction system in which it was previously switched off. The creation or specification of an initial state by the user can thus be dispensed with.
Grundsätzlich kann die zentrale Absauganlage manuell oder beispielsweise zeitgesteuert ausgeschaltet werden. Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann die Absauganlage ausgeschaltet werden, sobald jede Drosselklappe als geschlossen signalisiert wird. Damit kann ein Betätigungsschritt des Absaugsystems entfallen. Dies ist vorteilhaft insbesondere bei Absauganlagen, die in einem anderen Raum stehen als dem, in dem die Saugstellen bzw. Erfassungselemente angebracht sind. Ein unnötiges Laufenlassen der Absauganlage und der damit verbundene Energieaufwand können auf diese Weise vermieden werden.In principle, the central suction system can be switched off manually or, for example, time-controlled. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the suction system can be switched off as soon as each throttle valve is signaled as closed. An actuation step of the suction system can thus be omitted. This is particularly advantageous in the case of suction systems that are located in a different room than the one in which the suction points or detection elements are attached. In this way, unnecessary running of the suction system and the associated expenditure of energy can be avoided.

Da es sich bei dem vorhergehenden, detailliert beschriebenen Absaugsystem und dem Betätigungselement um Ausführungsbeispiele handelt, können sie in üblicher Weise vom Fachmann in einem weiten Umfang modifiziert werden, ohne den Bereich der Erfindung zu verlassen. Insbesondere kann auch die konkrete Ausgestaltung des Betätigungselements in anderer Form als in der hier beschriebenen erfolgen, beispielsweise als Nachrüstteil eines Gelenks oder einer Absaughaube. Ebenso können generell die Gehäuse bzw. Rohrabschnitte, in denen die Drosselklappe, der Knebel oder der Sensor an- oder untergebracht sind, in einer anderen Form ausgestaltet werden, wenn dies aus Platzgründen bzw. gestalterischen Gründen notwendig ist. Weiterhin schließt die Verwendung der unbestimmten Artikel "ein" bzw. "eine" nicht aus, dass die betreffenden Merkmale auch mehrmals oder mehrfach vorhanden sein können.Since the suction system and the actuating element described in detail above are exemplary embodiments, they can be modified in a wide scope by a person skilled in the art in the usual manner without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the specific design of the actuating element can also take place in a form other than that described here, for example as a retrofit part of a joint or a suction hood. Likewise, the housing or pipe sections in which the throttle valve, the toggle or the sensor are attached or accommodated can generally be designed in a different shape if this is necessary for reasons of space or design. Furthermore, the use of the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude the possibility that the relevant features can also be present several times or more than once.
