Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates generally to a connector system for an exhaust extraction system, and more particularly to a connector system for attaching a conduit to the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Numerous situations exist in which an internal combustion engine needs to be operated inside a structure, such as a garage. For example, car engines may need to be tuned and tested inside a repair shop. Emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire engines, are generally stored inside an emergency medical services (EMS) station or a fire station. Exhaust fumes enter the EMS station or fire station as the vehicle enters or leaves the station. In addition, there may be a need to run the engine inside the station for extended periods of time, for example when running a pump test on a fire engine.
- Internal combustion engine exhaust fumes, in particular diesel fumes, have been identified as serious health hazards. There is a need for systems that remove air pollutants from the air inside buildings. The preferred method comprises capturing the fumes at the exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine, and guiding the fumes to the outside of the building. To this end systems have been developed comprising a flexible hose provided with a nozzle for connecting the hose to the tailpipe of a vehicle. The hose is connected to a vent opening, for example in the roof of the building. In most cases the system comprises a fan for extracting exhaust fumes.
- The operation of such systems generally involves the following steps. As the vehicle returns to the station, it is stopped just outside the station so that the tailpipe of the vehicle is within reach of the hose nozzle. A crew member attaches the nozzle to the tail pipe, upon which the vehicle enters the station. Many exhaust systems are provided with sensors to ensure automatic operation when the hose is connected to the tailpipe of a running engine. Typically the exhaust hose is kept connected to the tailpipe of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the station.
- Upon leaving the station the nozzle needs to be disconnected from the tailpipe. Disconnection desirable occurs at a predetermined location, for example at the door opening of the station.
- The nozzle connecting the hose to the tailpipe desirably meets a number of requirements. Alignment of the nozzle with the tailpipe should be quick and easy. The nozzle should make a robust and secure connection to the tailpipe. Release of the nozzle desirably occurs automatically as the vehicle leaves the station and the end of the tailpipe passes a predetermined point.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,759 to Hyslop discloses a connection assembly for an exhaust connection system. The assembly comprises three primary components. The first component is an annular sleeve designed to be attached to the tailpipe of a vehicle. The second component is a nozzle locator ring, which slides onto the annular sleeve. The third component is an exhaust nozzle assembly designed to slide onto, and fit up against, the nozzle locator ring. The exhaust nozzle assembly contains two magnet packs, which contact the outer surface of the annular sleeve when the exhaust nozzle assembly is connected.
- The connection assembly disclosed in this reference is relatively complex. The need to slide the nozzle assembly over the ring makes alignment awkward and difficult. The assembly does not reliably disconnect automatically if the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,096,230 to Pausch et al. discloses a quick-release adapter for connecting the inlet of an exhaust removal hose to the outlet of the tailpipe of a vehicle. The adapter includes three disk-like permanent magnets, and three receptacle-shaped magnetic connectors secured to the outlet of the tailpipe. Alignment of the adapter to the outlet of the tailpipe is difficult and cumbersome, as it requires the simultaneous alignment of all three magnets with their respective connectors.
- Thus, there is a particular need for a connector system facilitating the alignment of the nozzle with the outlet of the vehicle tailpipe. There is a further need for a system that reliably and automatically disconnects as the vehicle leaves the station, while providing a secure seal when the engine is in use.
- The present invention addresses these problems by providing a connector system for an exhaust extraction system, said connector system comprising a first flange defining a first opening, and a second flange defining a second opening, said first flange presenting a first tapered surface.
- In an alternate embodiment the present invention provides a connector of claim 12 wherein the first tapered surface extends outward and away from the connection piece, so as to form a male connection flange.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to an exhaust extraction system comprising the connector system of the invention.
- The features and advantages of the invention will be appreciated upon reference to the following drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-section of one embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of an exhaust extraction system according to the invention; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the connector system of the invention, showing the outside of the first flange and the inside of the second flange; and -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the embodiment ofFIG. 3 , showing the inside of the first flange and the outside of the second flange. - The present invention provides a connector system for an exhaust extraction system comprising a first flange, and a second flange which is sized and configured to mate with the first flange.
- The first flange is designed to be connected to a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine. The first flange defines a first opening, which generally corresponds to the shape and size of the outlet of the exhaust pipe of the vehicle. The first flange is designed to be attached to the vehicle, either directly to the exhaust pipe of the vehicle, or to some other part of the vehicle in the vicinity of the exhaust pipe. Attachment directly to the outlet opening of the exhaust pipe is preferred.
- The connection system of the invention comprises at least one of the following two features. Preferably the connection comprises both features.
- The first feature comprises a first tapered surface presented by the first flange. The tapered surface facilitates alignment of the first and second flanges.
- The second feature comprises a plurality of magnets which are placed asymmetrically on a surface of one of the flanges. Preferably the magnets are placed on the second flange. The asymmetric placement of the magnets permits tailoring the strength of the magnetic field along the surface of the flange, so that the strength of the magnetic field can be stronger in certain areas, and weaker in other areas. Tailoring of the strength of the magnetic field also makes it possible to minimize the number of magnets required for providing a reliable connection, which can result in substantial cost savings.
- The first feature will now be illustrated with reference to a connection system having the first flange attached directly to the outlet of the tailpipe of a vehicle. It will be understood that this feature offers similar advantages in embodiments having the first flange attached to some other part of the vehicle.
- In one embodiment the tapered surface extends away from the tailpipe, and tapers inwardly in the direction of the flow of the exhaust fumes. In this embodiment the smallest diameter of the tapered surface defines the first opening. In this embodiment the diameter of the second opening is identical to, or slightly larger than, the base of the tapered surface. Alignment of the two flanges is readily accomplished by sliding the second flange over the protruding tapered surface of the first flange.
- In a still more preferred embodiment the second flange presents a second tapered surface, which is sized and configured to mate with the first tapered surface. In this embodiment the second opening is defined by the second tapered surface.
- The first tapered surface can extend away from the tailpipe, and taper inwardly in the direction of the flow of the exhaust fumes, so as to form a male connection flange piece. The mating second tapered surface forms a female connection flange piece.
- In an alternate embodiment the first tapered surface extends inward and toward the outlet of the tailpipe, so as to form a female connection flange piece. The mating second tapered surface forms a male connection flange piece.
- Desirably, the first flange further presents a first substantially flat surface substantially parallel to the plane of the first opening. This substantially flat surface preferably extends annually around the base of the first tapered surface.
- The second flange can present a second substantially flat surface substantially parallel to the plane of the second opening. This second substantially flat surface preferably extends annually around the base of the second tapered surface. The second substantially flat surface can be made to mate with the first substantially flat surface.
- The first or the second flange can be provided with one or more magnets, so as to provide a magnetic force for holding together the two flanges. Preferably the magnets are provided in the second flange, so as to reduce exposure of the magnets to high exhaust gas temperatures, and dirt and dust. The magnets can be electromagnets or permanent magnets. If permanent magnets are used, rare earth magnets are preferred.
- The mating flange provides a magnetic or magnetizable surface for attaching the magnets to when the two flanges are connected. The magnetizable surface preferably comprises a ferromagnetic material.
- The magnets can be placed in one of the substantially flat surfaces or in one of the tapered surfaces. A preferred location for the magnets is so as to project a magnetic field from the second substantially flat surface. Preferably the magnetic field is projected in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second substantially flat surface. For example, rod or disk magnets can be placed immediately behind the second substantially flat surface, or can be placed in holes so as to protrude through the second substantially flat surface. The latter configuration is preferred, as it permits direct contact of the magnets with the mating surface.
- It is advantageous to mount the magnets pivotably. This arrangement enables contact of the magnet with the opposite mating surface, even when the two mating surfaces are not perfectly aligned, due to the presence of debris particles between the two surfaces, for example.
- In a preferred embodiment the connector system comprises more than one magnet, and the plurality of magnets are distributed asymmetrically over the mounting surface, for example the second substantially flat surface. This asymmetric distribution of the magnets permits the magnetic force to be tailored according to the location in the flange. For example, more than half of the magnets may be placed in the lower half of the connection system. As a result, a greater force is needed to disconnect the two flanges by bulling in an upward direction than the force that is needed for disconnection by pushing downward on the second flange. Thus, it will require less force to manually disconnect the second flange from the vehicle than to pull it off with a ceiling-mounted hose.
- Similarly, an asymmetric distribution of magnets can be used to ensure reliable release of the connection system when mounted on a tail pipe that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. This can be done by placing fewer than half of the magnets in the forward facing half of the second flange.
- The second flange can have a tubular piece for attachment of an exhaust conduit, such as a flexible hose. The tubular piece is preferably elbow-shaped. The angle of the elbow can be selected to be approximately identical to the angle of the conduit relative to the vehicle when the vehicle reaches the point of release of the connection system, so as to ensure a more or less uniform distribution of the pulling force in the lower portion of the conduit.
- Depending on the attachment point of the lower portion of the conduit at or near the ceiling of the building, the angle of the elbow can be in the range of from about 0° to about 90°, preferably from about 15° to about 75°.
- The asymmetric placement of the magnets can be selected in function of the position of the elbow. It is generally advantageous to place more than half of the magnets in the half of the flange nearer the outside angle of the elbow.
- It will be understood that the various advantages of the second feature, i.e., the asymmetric placement of the magnets, can be obtained in embodiments that do not have the first feature, i.e., the tapered surface or surfaces. Embodiments incorporating the second feature without also incorporating the first feature are specifically contemplated.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a system for extracting exhaust fumes incorporating the inventive connection system. The system generally comprises a conduit having a first and a second end, the first end being connected to the second flange.
- The second end of the conduit is connected to a vent which is in communication with the outside of the building. The system can comprise a fan for transporting exhaust fumes through the conduit.
- The first flange can be mounted directly to the outlet of the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, for example the engine of a vehicle. In the alternative, the first flange is mounted to a part of the vehicle in the vicinity of the outlet of the exhaust pipe of the vehicle, such that the first opening overlays the outlet opening of the exhaust pipe. In the former case the first flange can be provided with a connecting pipe for attaching the flange to the exhaust pipe.
- It will be understood that the first flange and the second flange can be interchanged, such that the second flange is mounted on the vehicle, and the first flange is connected to the conduit.
- The conduit is connected to the vehicle by mating the second flange to the first flange. Due to the mating surfaces, the connection provides a secure seal. The system can be provided with a pressure sensor inside the conduit. If the engine is running with the conduit attached to its exhaust pipe, the resulting pressure build-up in the conduit is detected by the pressure sensor. The sensor can be used to automatically switch on the exhaust fan when pressure build-up occurs. The same sensor can be used to switch off the fan when the pressure drops, for example after the engine is switched off, or after the conduit becomes disconnected from the exhaust pipe.
- It can be desirable to provide air vents in at least one of the flanges, so that ambient air is pulled into the system when the fan is in use. The ambient air cools down the exhaust fumes before they enter the conduit, thereby reducing the risk of heat damage to the conduit and other parts of the exhaust extraction system. The air vents are preferably provided in the flange that is mounted on the vehicle. Preferably the air vents are provided with air valves, to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the building structure, for example during brief periods of over-pressure as may occur when the engine is running and the fan has not yet been switched on by the pressure sensor.
- The system is designed for the second flange to disconnect from the first flange when a pulling force is applied to the second flange. In a rudimentary embodiment, the conduit is flexible and has a certain length. When the vehicle leaves the station, the conduit will follow the vehicle until the conduit is fully extended. When the conduit cannot extend further, the second flange will become disconnected from the first flange. The tensile strength of the conduit is chosen to well exceed the magnetic force holding together the first and second flanges.
- It is desirable to guide the movements of the conduit while the vehicle pulls out of the station. For example, the conduit may be suspended from a trolley which travels on a track below the ceiling of the building. When the vehicle is at rest, the trolley is approximately straight above the outlet of the exhaust pipe. When the vehicle moves out of the station, the trolley moves along its track in the general direction of the exit door of the station, until it reaches the end of the track.
- It is desirable to provide a spring balancer, which can be connected to the conduit at a point near the second flange, or at a point between the second flange and the ceiling of the building. The spring balancer comprises a spring loaded cable, which unwinds as the vehicle pulls out on the building. The spring balancer further comprises a limiter, which limits the unwinding of the spring loaded cable.
- The following is a description of certain embodiments of the invention, given by way of example only and with reference to the drawings. Referring to
FIG. 1 , a longitudinal cross section view is shown of a specific embodiment of the connector system of the invention. - The connection system of
FIG. 1 comprises afirst flange 150, and asecond flange 100. -
Second flange 100 defines asecond opening 102 which tapers down to a smaller diameter at 104.Mesh screen 122 is provided inopening 102. The purpose ofmesh screen 122 is to capture particulate debris that may be entrained by exhaust fumes. -
Second opening 102 is surrounded by asupport flange 110. Thesupport flange 110 presents a secondtapered surface 112. The direction of tapering is such that the diameter of opening 102 decreases going from left to right inFIG. 1 . - The
support flange 110 further presents a second substantiallyflat surface 114. The second substantiallyflat surface 114 is parallel to the plane ofsecond opening 102 and hasmagnets 116 accommodated in the outer surface of the second substantiallyflat surface 114. Themagnets 116 are not rigidly fixed to thesecond flange portion 114, but are fit loosely in thesecond flange portion 114. - An
inner flange portion 118 is provided to keep themagnets 116 at their proper location. Theinner flange portion 118 is positioned such that the magnets are allowed to move to a certain extent, in particular to slightly pivot. Preferably, themagnets 116 are provided in pairs in which pairs of magnets are affixed to a plate so that the magnets of one pair can pivot in tandem. - In the embodiment depicted, the
first flange portion 112 is surrounded by thesecond flange portion 114. - The outer perimeter of the
support flange 110 is clad with arubber mantle 120 to protectsecond flange 100, as well as a vehicle to which theextraction adapter 100 may be connected, from damage during connection and disconnection of the two flanges. - The
second flange 100 further comprises aconical connecter 130 connected at its larger end to thesecond opening 102 atlocation 104. At its smaller end theconical connecter 130 is connected topipe element 140. Afirst opening 142 ofpipe element 140 is provided at an angle of about 60° from asecond opening 144 ofpipe element 140. Other angles may be considered to embody the invention as well, ranging from 0° to 90°. - The
first flange 150 defines afirst opening 152. Thefirst opening 152 of theexhaust pipe adapter 150 is surrounded byflange portion 160.First flange 150 is provided with aconnection portion 170. In this embodiment opening 154 ofconnection portion 170 has substantially the same diameter asfirst opening 152. - The
connection portion 170 comprisesslits 172. Theconnection portion 170 is arranged to be slid over an exhaust pipe of a vehicle. Theslits 172 are provided to make the diameter of opening 154 slightly adjustable, to facilitate connection of theexhaust pipe adapter 150 to the exhaust pipe of a vehicle (not shown). Upon application of theexhaust pipe adapter 150 to the exhaust pipe of the vehicle, theexhaust pipe adapter 150 can be affixed to the exhaust pipe by means of apipe clamp 180.Pipe clamp 180 comprises a threadedrod 182 that is bent around theconnection portion 170 at an angle of 180°. Both ends of the threadedrod 182 are guided through holes in a fixatingelement 186 and secured by means ofbolts 184. By tighteningbolts 184 to the threadedrod 182, theconnection portion 170 is firmly attached to the exhaust pipe. Naturally, other fixating elements known in the art may be applied instead ofpipe clamp 180. -
Flange portion 160 presents a firsttapered surface 162. First taperedsurface 162 tapers such that the outer diameter offlange portion 160 tapers down going from left to right inFIG. 1 .Flange portion 160 further presents a first substantiallyflat surface 164. The first substantiallyflat surface 164 has an orientation parallel tofirst opening 152. Additionally,flange portion 160 comprises a thirdflat surface 166. The thirdflat surface 166 comprises air vents 168. - In the embodiment depicted, the third
flat surface 166 is surrounded by the firsttapered surface 162, which is in turn surrounded by the firstflat surface 164. - The dimensions of tapered
surfaces tapered surface 162 fits snugly inside firsttapered surface 112. -
FIG. 2 discloses a schematic view of anemergency vehicle 200 comprising anexhaust pipe 210.First flange 150 is connected to theexhaust pipe 210.Second flange 100 is connected tofirst flange 150 at the first opening by means of the force exerted by magnets. Atpipe 140, the second flange is connected to one end ofextraction hose 220. The other end of theextraction hose 220 is connected to a forcedairflow generator 240, thehose 220 serving as a conduit for exhaust fumes from thevehicle 200. The forcedairflow generator 240 creates a forced airflow, thereby extracting exhaust fumes from theexhaust pipe 210 of theemergency vehicle 200. The extraction hose is affixed to a building structure such as a fire station via aspring balancer 230. Thespring balancer 230 is connected to the fire station structure viarail system 250. - When the
emergency vehicle 200 exits the structure, theextraction hose 220 will follow the emergency vehicle as the hose is coupled to thevehicle 200 via theextraction adapter 100 connected to theexhaust pipe adapter 150, which is in turn connected to theexhaust pipe 210. With this action, first thespring balancer 230 will follow theemergency vehicle 200 via therail system 250. At the end of therail system 250, the horizontal movement of thespring balancer 230 is blocked. - Subsequently, a
cable 232 is unwound from thespring balancer 230 at a pre-determined force. Before thecable 232 is fully unwound from thespring balancer 230 thecable 232 becomes blocked bylimiter 234. This results in a sudden and significant increase in the force exerted by thespring balancer 230 on theextraction hose 220, via thecable 232. This force is transferred by theextraction hose 220 tosecond flange 100, resulting in the second flange's 100 breaking away fromfirst flange 150. -
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view ofsecond flange 100 andfirst flange 150. In particular, the location of themagnets 116 on the second substantiallyflat surface 114 can be seen in more detail than shown inFIG. 1 . In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 themagnets 116 are provided in pairs. In addition,magnets 116 are asymmetrically distributed over secondflat surface 114 in that the bottom half of secondflat surface 114 comprisesmore magnets 116 than does the top half of the secondflat surface 114. - As a result of this placement,
second flange 100 can be manually disconnected fromfirst flange 150 with relative ease by pushing down onelbow 140, even though the magnetic force is amply sufficient to maintain a secure connection in use. -
FIG. 4 shows the connector system in a different perspective. This perspective provides in particular a better view ofair vents 168 provided in thirdflat surface 166. Theseopenings 168 are provided to provide a flow of ambient air at ambient temperature to be mixed with exhaust fumes when theextraction adapter 100 is connected to theexhaust pipe 210 while extracting exhaust fumes. This results in a significant cooling of the exhaust fumes, which protects temperature sensitive parts of the exhaust system from heat damage. - It can be desirable to provide
air vents 168 with air valves, such as rubber flaps, to prevent exhaust fumes from escaping into the structure if over-pressure develops during operation of the system. - Having discussed various embodiments of the various aspects according to the invention, a person skilled in the art will appreciate that further variations of those embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, male tapered
surface 162 and female taperedsurface 112 can be interchanged between the first flange and the second flange. - Additionally or alternatively, the locations of the second
tapered surface 112 and the secondflat surface 114 may be interchanged onsecond flange 100. This results in a configuration in which second taperedsurface 112 surrounds secondflat surface 114. This option applies as well to the locations of the firsttapered surface 162 and the firstflat surface 164, which are interchangeable as well. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that this interchange has to be performed on both thesecond flange 100 and thefirst flange 150 simultaneously, so as to maintain their mating properties. - In a further embodiment, the
magnets 116 are provided in the secondtapered surface 112. In this way, the secondflat surface 114 and the firstflat surface 164 have lost most of their function, and could be omitted. In other words, the secondtapered surface 112 and the secondflat surface 114 can be integrated into one single flange portion. Likewise, firsttapered surface 162 and fistflat surface 164 can be integrated into one single adapter flange portion. - In yet another embodiment, the
magnets 116 are not provided in thesecond flange 100, but infirst flange 150. This embodiment is less preferred for internal combustion engines in vehicles, as the magnets would be exposed to adverse conditions during operation of the vehicle outside the station. This embodiment is more suitable for use with stationary internal combustion engines. - A person skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various parameters disclosed in the description may be modified and that various embodiments disclosed and/or claimed may be combined without departing from the scope of the invention.
