  • a cover segment 25 bounded laterally by the partition walls 22 and 23 thus hermetically closes the storage chamber 9, so that from the storage chamber 9 and to the suction channel 18, its segment 24 to the side of the partition wall 21 and the partition wall 22 and is limited by the ceiling of the cover 5, there is no connection.

  • the end of the intake pipe socket 28 is framed by the partition 22 from the side and from below.
  • the partition wall 22 On both sides of the suction pipe socket 28, the partition wall 22 has a passage opening 30, in each of which a fluff filter 29 is inserted (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • the separating hood 27 does not cover the entire collecting chamber 10.
  • the direct line of sight from the collecting chamber 10 to the fluff filters 29 is, however, through baffles 31 Prevents which protrude below the fluff filters 29 and the back of them diagonally upwards and bent downward from the partition 22 in the further course.
  • the two baffle surfaces 31 are somewhat wider than the fluff filters 29.
  • the spaces between the baffle surfaces 31 and the fluff filters 29 are laterally through the horizontal part of the suction pipe socket 28 and through perpendicular walls which are fastened to the baffle surfaces 31 and the partition 22 , limited.
  • In the L-shaped parts 15 there are also handles 37 for lifting the bucket 4 out.
  • the wet vacuum cleaner 1 is operated in the following manner. First, cleaning liquid is poured into the storage chamber 9 in the bucket 4. Then the bucket 4 is inserted into the trough 3 and the cover 5 is placed and locked. The wet vacuum cleaner is thus ready for operation.
  • Cleaning liquid from the storage chamber 9 emerges from the storage chamber 9 through the opened valve 14 and is sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned by means of a pump in the device part 6 and is then taken up by means of a suction nozzle, not shown, from which the dirt particles containing the suctioned-off particles are removed
  • Cleaning liquid mixed with suction air is sucked through a hose, not shown, attached to the suction pipe socket 28 and through the suction pipe socket 28 into the separating hood 27. There the used cleaning liquid is separated from the suction air. While the used cleaning liquid flows into the collecting chamber 10, the air flows upwards between the inner wall of the container 10 and the separating hood 27, around the baffle surface 31 and through the fluff filter 29 into the suction channel 18.
  • the suction air is guided to the rear on both sides of the bucket 4 and along the cover segments and from there it is transported downwards through a chimney 33 and an inlet opening 34 into the suction fan in the device part 6.
  • a small part of the suction air entering the suction channel 18 through the fluff filter 29 can also flow to the chimney 33 through the gap-shaped free space 35 between the bucket 4 and the trough 3, which is not airtightly separated from the suction channel 18.
  • the wet vacuum If the wet vacuum is to be transported, it is rotated from the horizontal working position into a vertical transport position in which the part in the working position at the front with the trough 3 becomes the upper part. This has the consequence that the liquids, which were previously only in the lower part of the bucket 4, now flow partially into the lid, so that the liquid level runs approximately parallel to the axis of the two ends of the suction pipe socket 28.
  • the wet vacuum It is essential for the construction of the wet vacuum that a total of three mutually sealed chambers are created, namely firstly the storage chamber 9 with the segment 25 for fresh cleaning liquid, furthermore the collecting chamber 10 with the lid segment 26 for dirty cleaning liquid and finally the suction channel 18 the cover segment 24 for sucking off the suction air.
  • These three chambers are sealed against each other in that the lid is placed on the device. Due to the engagement of the partitions 21, 22 and 23, the sealing takes place without additional structural modifications being necessary. If the lid is opened, all three chambers are also opened, the bucket with the chambers 9 and 10 can then be removed from the trough 3 in a simple manner.
  • connection opening between the collecting chamber 10 and the segment 26 (dirty water chamber) on the one hand and the suction channel 18 on the other hand is also essential.
  • this connection lies on the side facing the front wall of the device and is arranged as high as possible. This ensures, both in the horizontal working position and in the set-up position pivoted through 90 °, that these through-opening maximum distance from the respective liquid level. This also applies to the pivoting movement itself, which normally takes place around the edge of the device which is diagonally diametrically opposite the through opening.
  • the liquid level in the storage chamber 9 always moves at the maximum distance from the passage opening 30 into the suction channel. This effect is reinforced by the fact that a flexible partition 11 is provided between the storage chamber 9 and the collecting chamber 10.
  • the filling quantity of the bucket 4 is always distributed in the region of the bucket near the bottom and thus at the maximum distance from the passage opening into the suction channel. Even when set up, there is a maximum distance of the liquid level from the passage opening, since the liquid first completely fills the storage chamber 9 and only then does the filling of the collecting chamber 10 begin. This results from the positioning of the collecting chamber 10 in the immediate vicinity of the front wall of the device.

Abstract

Un aspirateur d'humidité possède une soufflerie d'aspiration et une pompe pour un liquide de nettoyage, un seau amovible présentant un compartiment de stockage et un compartiment collecteur ainsi qu'un couvercle fermant le compartiment collecteur et le compartiment de stockage. Afin de permettre la pénétration d'un liquide de nettoyage dans le canal d'aspiration aussi bien en position de travail horizontale qu'en position de transport orientée à 90°, l'invention propose que le compartiment collecteur soit contigu à la paroi frontale de l'aspirateur, que le couvercle comporte un segment de couvercle séparé par une paroi des deux segments de couvercle fermant les compartiments, lequel obture le canal d'aspiration passant entre le seau et la paroi frontale à sa partie supérieure, et qu'une ouverture de passage pour l'air d'aspiration sec débouchant dans le canal d'aspiration se trouve placée soit dans la paroi séparatrice située entre le segment de couvercle au-dessus du compartiment collecteur et l'autre segment de couvercle obturant le canal d'aspiration soit dans le bord supérieur du seau sur son côté associé à la paroi frontale.
