Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exhaust extractor device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and thereby eliminate disturbing suction sounds in the standby position of the connector piece for exhaust gas extraction.
- Fig. 1 shows an installation for exhaust gas extrac ⁇ tion provided with the device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view on a larger scale through a connector piece in an attached posi ⁇ tion provided with the device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a view corresponding to Fig. 2, though with the connector piece in a standby position
- Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional view through the con ⁇ nector piece along line IV-IV in Fig. 3, whilst
- Figs. 5-7 show three different arrangements for retaining a closure member in the standby position.
- the device according to the invention forms a part of an installation for the evacuation of exhaust gases from motor vehicles and, as is apparent from Fig. 1, the installation consists of a suction device 1 which is schematically shown in the form of a suction fan 1 with a suction or inlet side 2 and a pressure or outlet side 3. This extends through a wall 4 or a roof of a building in which a number of work- stations for motor vehicles is arranged.
- the evacuation installation has a conduit system of suction hoses 5, 6 which, in the shown embodiment, each lead to a respective work-station and are connected to the inlet side 2 of the suction device 1. At least one section of each suction hose 5, 6 to each work-station is in the form of a flexible, reinforced hose which can be wound up on a hose winder 7, 8 at each station to thus be adjustable to desired length.
- each suction hose there is arranged a connector piece 9, 10 which is intended for temporary attachment of the exhaust gas extractor to the exhaust pipe 11 of a vehicle 12.
- the connector pieces 9, 10 are adjust ⁇ able between an operating attachment position in which the connector piece 9 is attached to the exhaust pipe, as is the case with the left-hand work-station, and a disconnect ⁇ ed standby position which is the case for the right-hand work-station where the suction hose 6 has also been wound up so that the connector piece 10 hangs at such a height that it can be grasped and pulled down together with the associated hose to place it in the operating attachment position.
- the connector piece comprises a substantially cylindrically shaped region 13 onto which the end 14 of the hose 5 is introduced and retained by means of a hose clip 15.
- a metal support ring 16 is arranged within the cylindrical region 13.
- the connector piece 9 is advantage ⁇ ously made from a somewhat elastic material, such as rubber, to facilitate the attachment to different shapes and dimensions of the outlet end of the vehicle's exhaust pip e 1 -
- a soft protection ring 17 is positioned around the outside of the hose clip in order to protect the vehicle from damage.
- the connector piece has an attachment region 18 which, at least in the view shown in Fig. 2, expands in the shape of a funnel or cone towards an outer connector opening 19.
- a passage 20 is formed through the connector piece from the outer opening 19 to an inner opening 21 which communicates with the suction channel 22 of the hose 5.
- the conical walls merge into an end section 23 with parallel walls.
- the attachment region 18 further displays a number of transverse splines 24 which provide increased grip on the end of the exhaust pipe 11.
- the connector piece 9 is provided with a closure member 25 which, in the standby position, is adapted to seal the connector piece so that the connected hose is maintained closed at its end 14.
- the closure member 25 is adapted in accordance with the invention to seal the connector piece and the suction hose 5 about a peripheral sealing surface 26 which faces to a greater extent radially inwardly towards the longitudinal axis of symmetry 26' of the connector piece than in the longitudinal direction of the connector piece.
- the sealing surface 26 is located in a protected position within the connector piece 9 at a distance from its connector opening
- the closure member 25 is shaped as a three dimensional rotationally symmetric body with at least one peripheral sealing surface 27 which faces radially outwards from the longitudinal axis of symmetry 26' to a greater extent than in the longitudinal direction.
- the sealing surface 27 of the closure member 25 has a circular cross-sectional shape and is in the form of a truncated cone with a relatively small conical angle, in the shown embodiment less than 30° to the longitudinal axis 28 of the closure member.
- the sealing surface 26 has a corresponding circular cross-sectional shape and can in principle also be conical, though it has been given the shape of a rounded edge which forms the transition between the cylindrical region 13 and the conical region 18.
- the closure member 25 further presents a cylindrical region 29 which is thus adapted to the shape of the wall 30 of the cylindrical region 13 in the connector piece 9, though has a smaller cross-sectional extension to thereby not serve primarily as a sealing surface but instead as a guide surface for guidance during insertion and correct posi ⁇ tioning of the sealing member 25 in the sealing position.
- a chamfered edge 32 is provided on the forward end 31 of the sealing member 25 in order to further facilitate the guidance during insertion.
- the forward end 31 is flat, though it may have any arbitrary form.
- the closure member 25 further presents a grip part 33 which, in the shown embodiment, is in the form of a rod which extends symmetrically about the axis 28 in such a direction that, in the sealing position, it is positioned exterior of the sealing surface 27 with its outer end 34 extending somewhat beyond the connector opening 19 of the connector piece.
- the grip part 33 has a considerably smaller diameter than the diameter of the sealing surface, whereby the connector piece presents a reverse facing transition surface 35 which, in the shown embodiment, is flat and extends in a radial plane, though which can have any arbitrary shape.
- the grip part has a connecting element 26 in the form of a chain which, by means of an attachment 37, is connected to the outer end 34 of the grip part and, at its opposite end, is connected to the hose clip 15.
- the connecting element 36 has such a length that the sealing member can comfortably be anipu- lated and moved between the attachment position shown in Fig. 2 and the closure position which is shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
- the closure member may hang freely outside the connector piece 9, though alterna ⁇ tively it may be maintained in some sort of holder on the outside of the connector piece as suggested in Fig. 1.
- the holder 38 can for example be in the form of a spring clip which extends around the grip part 31.
- the connector piece 9 has an additional connection possibility in the form of a side opening 39 which, in Fig. 2, is shown open and ready for connection of, for example, a measuring probe for measuring certain components in the exhaust gases.
- the opening is arranged in the conical region 18 of the connector piece and can be closed by a closure plug 40 when measurement is not required, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the connector piece 9 can be provided with a particular retaining arrangement 42 which is shown in three variants in Figs. 5-7.
- the retain ⁇ ing arrangement 42 is, in the shown examples, adapted for shape-engagement in combination with certain friction between the connector piece 9 and the retaining arrangement 42.
- the embodiment according to Fig. 5 shows the retaining arrangement 42 in the form of an elastic O-ring 43 posi ⁇ tioned in a ring-shaped groove in the cylindrical guide surface 29 of the closure member 25. An engagement position is achieved against a ring-shaped groove 44 in the cylind ⁇ rical region 13 of the connector piece 9.
- FIG. 6 shows the retaining arrangement 42 in the form of a ring-shaped bead 45 which retains the closure member 25 by engagement in a ring- shaped groove 46 in its cylindrical region 29.
- the engage ⁇ ment position can be adopted and left due to certain elasticity in the surrounding material.
- the O-ring 43 according to Fig. 5 has been replaced by a ring-shaped bead 47 in the cylindrical region 29 of the closure member 25. Also in this case a certain elasticity of the surfaces in question is required, for example as shown by using a non- solid closure member 25.
- the connector piece 9 is thus slipped over the outlet end of the exhaust pipe 11 so that the connector piece is fixedly maintained on the exhaust pipe by friction between the inner wall of the connector piece and the outside of the exhaust pipe or at least its opening edge 41.
- the closure member 25 is hereby outside the connector piece so that the passage 20 through the connector piece 9 is completely open, whereby the suction fan 1 which, at least during working hours, is continuously in operation, withdraws exhaust gases from the motor vehicle 12 whose engine is running by means of a suitably chosen vacuum in the suction hose 5.
- the connector piece 9 When there is no longer a need for exhaust gas extraction, i.e. when the engine is stopped or when the vehicle is to be removed from the work-station, the connector piece 9 is released by a manual tug in a backwards direction, where ⁇ after the closure member 25 is grasped with the hand around the grip part 33 and the closure member is inserted through the connector opening 19 with the end 31 first.
- the cylindrical region with the cylindrically shaped guide surface 29 is guided within the cylindrical region 13 of the connector piece until the conical sealing surface 27 comes into sealing contact with the sealing surface 26 of the connector piece.
- the guide surface 29 ensures that the sealing member 25 is maintained in a correct direction, i.e. with its longitudinal axis 28 along the longitudinal axis of the connector piece.
- a highly effective sealing is ensured by making the sealing surface 26 of the connector piece elastic to a certain degree and sealing with a good fit against the sealing surface 27 of the closure member 25, which sealing surface 27 can be a relatively hard and shape-permanent surface.
- the connector piece can be made from delrin.
- the suction fan is still ain- tained in continuous operation since connector pieces can be attached to vehicles in operation at other work-sta ⁇ tions.
- the vacuum which is created in the suction hose in question further contributes to the retention of the closure member 25 in its sealing position.
- the connector piece 10 is completely sealed, whereby the connector piece is totally silent and the suction capacity of the conti ⁇ nuously operated suction fan can be fully utilized at the other work-stations where connector pieces are in an attachment position, as shown in the left-hand work ⁇ station.
- One and the same evacuation insulation can comprise a plurality of work-stations which can be switched individually between operating attachment positions and standby positions.
- the hose winders 7 and 8 can advantage ⁇ ously be spring-biased so that the connector pieces 10 in the standby position are automatically raised together with the associated suction hose to a suitably withdrawn position.
- the connector piece is manipulated from the standby position to the operating attachment position by a person manually gripping the suction hose or the connector piece 10 and pulling it down so that the hose winder unwinds the necessary length of hose, whereafter the closure member 25 is pulled out by manually gripping the grip part 31 and the connector piece is slipped over the exhaust pipe in question.
- connector piece and the closure member 25 may have different shapes in terms of both the sealing surfaces and the shape of the grip part 33.
