Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep a function of collecting large-sized dust and discharging dust and odor at the same time in the cleaning by a vacuum cleaner using a conventional paper filter etc., to obtain clean emission air by dissolving fine dust and unpleasant odor in water and further cleaning the collected dust through water filter afterward, and to reduce the cost by using a polyethylene tank sold on the market and water. <P>SOLUTION: The dust collection and air cleaning device uses the polyethylene tank and the vacuum cleaner sold on the market. Dust and polluted air are first collected in a dust collecting bag attached to an air intake tube while discharged air is fed into water in the polyethylene tank through the air intake tube. Air is brought into contact with water by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner and is cleaned with water. For this purpose, a cap with a nozzle attached to a lid part at either end of the polyethylene tank and the air intake tube with the dust collecting bag under the cap are developed. With this structure, clean air can be obtained and the cleaning effect can be enhanced, while the cost of cleaning members can be reduced by using the polyethylene tank and water. Further, the device can be used also for collecting liquid and cleaning air. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

Industrial application fields

  The present invention relates to an air purifier that uses water as a filter to collect dust and purify exhaust.

  Since the electric dust collector (vacuum cleaner) that collects dust uses a filter such as paper, fine dust and unpleasant odors are again sprayed into the air through the filter. In addition, replacement of the filter is expensive.

  The present invention collects garbage using a commercially available plastic tank and vacuum cleaner, removes dust and odor discharged from the vacuum cleaner, and reduces the cost of cleaning equipment.

  Therefore, the present invention develops and attaches a new cap 1 that can be freely attached to and detached from an attachment of a vacuum cleaner or the like on the c-1 of the plastic tank lid. Under this cap 1, an air introduction pipe b provided with a dust collection bag b-2 is mounted. Tap water is injected into the poly tank within the range of the upper limit water level and the lower limit water level scale carved in the air introduction pipe b. Attach the newly developed cap with nozzle 2 to the other lid of the plastic tank. This cap 2 is connected to a hose connected to a vacuum cleaner.

  Due to the suction force of the vacuum cleaner, dust and dirty air are first sucked into an air introduction pipe b provided with a garbage collection bag. Here, large-sized garbage is collected by a garbage collection bag, and fine dust and odor are introduced into the underwater c-3 of the plastic tank through the air introduction pipe b.

  Moist and clean air filtered and washed with water in the tank is sent into the vacuum cleaner through the cap 2 and further discharged from the vacuum cleaner.

  While the present invention collects garbage with a collection bag, clean air is obtained by further filtering and washing air using water as a filter, and the cleaning effect is further enhanced.

  In addition, this apparatus can be utilized also for collection of the garbage which mixed the liquid and the liquid, and air cleaning. Furthermore, since a commercially available and widely used polytank is used or water is used as a filter, the cost of cleaning articles can be expected to be reduced.

  A cap a is attached as a new lid to the c-1 portion of the plastic tank lid. A nozzle a-1 that can be freely attached to and detached from the attachment for the vacuum cleaner is provided at one end of the cap a. Under this cap a, an air introduction tube b equipped with a dust collection bag b-2 is attached. Tap water is injected into the range of the upper limit water level and the lower limit water level scale carved into the air introduction pipe b in the plastic tank c. Attach the cap d to the other lid part of the plastic tank. The cap d is provided with a nozzle d-1 that can be freely attached to and detached from a hose connected to a vacuum cleaner. While adjusting the suction intensity with the power switch of the vacuum cleaner, dust and dirty air are first sucked into the air introduction part in the plastic tank by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner. Large trash is collected by the trash collection bag, and fine dust and odor are introduced into the water c-3 by the air introduction tube b and further filtered with water. When garbage collects in the garbage collection bag or the water in the plastic tank gets dirty, remove the caps at both ends, dispose of the garbage, and change the water. Cost reduction can also be expected by eliminating or reducing the replacement of the paper filter provided in the vacuum cleaner.

  Connect one end of cap a to the vacuum cleaner attachment. The air introduction pipe b provided with the garbage collection bag b-2 is attached under the cap a. The upper edge of the air introduction pipe b is provided with a non-slip edge b-1 for hooking on the lid portion of the plastic tank. In order to provide the air introduction tube b with a dust collection bag, a step b-6 is formed from the upper mouth portion. An appropriate amount of water is injected into the tank within the range between the upper limit water level and the lower limit water level scale carved in the air introduction pipe. When the object to be collected by suction is a liquid, it is not necessary to inject water into the plastic tank. In order to make air and water contact more effectively at the bottom of the air introduction pipe, a large number of vent holes b-5 are provided. When the amount of water in the tank deviates from the scale range of the air introduction pipe b, it is necessary to add or reduce water. A sponge filter is attached to the cap d attached to the other small lid portion of the plastic tank so as not to suck out excess water from the plastic tank. This sponge filter can be removed and washed with water. The cap d is provided with a nozzle d-1 that can be freely attached to and detached from a hose connected to a vacuum cleaner. While adjusting the suction strength with the power switch of the vacuum cleaner, dust and dirty air are first sucked into the air inlet by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner. Large dust is collected by the garbage collection bag b-2 provided in the air introduction pipe b, and fine dust and odor are introduced into the water c-3 by the air introduction pipe b and filtered with water. Is done. Finally, the filtered and cleaned air is sucked into the vacuum cleaner and discharged through the cap d attached to the lid at the other end of the plastic tank c. When garbage collects in the garbage collection bag or the water in the plastic tank gets dirty, remove the caps at both ends, dispose of the garbage, and change the water.

  Use as a new device to collect dust or liquid and purify air by developing and using caps a and d developed according to the lid of the poly tank and air introduction pipe b as an auxiliary device for a commercially available vacuum cleaner It can be done.

  It is sectional drawing which showed the whole apparatus. This apparatus mainly comprises caps a and d, an air introduction pipe b, and a poly tank c.   It is the general-view figure which showed the part of the apparatus a. The nozzle and lid are integrated to facilitate mounting.   It is the general-view figure which showed the part b of the apparatus. A dust collection bag and a vent are provided inside the air introduction pipe.   It is sectional drawing which showed the part of apparatus a and b. Through the air introduction pipe b, the air comes into contact with the water in the plastic tank and is purified with water.   It is the general-view figure which showed the part of the apparatus d. The nozzle attached to the vacuum cleaner makes it easy to attach and detach the vacuum cleaner, and the sponge filter prevents excess water from being sucked out of the tank.   It is sectional drawing which showed the part of the apparatus d. The sponge filter should be removable and washable.
