Definitions
- the invention relates to a separator for removing solids from a mixture of air, liquid and solids, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- mixtures can not be disposed of directly in the public sewage system.
- An example of such mixtures is a mixture of air, body fluids and amalgam particles that results from drilling amalgam fillings at a dental workstation.
- the amalgam must not be disposed of in the public sewage network, but must be collected separately and disposed of in an orderly manner.
- the sedimentation units usually include one
- the effectiveness of the sedimentation is adversely affected in a mixture containing air by blowing and / or foam, especially when the liquid contains foam-forming substances such as protein or saponins or detergents.
- the present invention is therefore intended to be a
- the same forming sump can thus be moved by hand and tilted or exposed to accelerations without liquid leaking into the environment.
- a jet pump is used whose blasting medium is the conveyed air.
- Such a jet pump has a mechanically simple structure and works trouble-free even in long-term operation.
- suction machine Under wet-suction machine is to be understood here a suction machine that works reliably even in the presence of liquid in long-term operation.
- An example of such a wet suction machine is a water ring pump in which a circulating water ring is part of the conveyor.
- Such pumps must anyway be designed to withstand a liquid and / or steam environment for a long time.
- Under a dry-suction machine should be understood as they usually for
- Piston machines and side channel machines as well as impellers with an axially acting impeller or radially acting impeller are used.
- the liquid pump to use a water ring pump for generating the negative pressure required at the dental workstation.
- a suction fan is connected, which can then be a dry-suction machine.
- Claim 8 ensures that the separator operates at a not yet reached maximum level of solid sediment with constant air throughput and abruptly reduces or completely suppressed the air flow when reaching or exceeding the maximum allowable filling.
- Claim 10 gives a possibility of how to form a spring, which is loaded according to the weight of the sediment bed, suitable for simple and dirty environmental conditions.
- a separator according to claim 12 can be derived from the weight-related change in position of the sensor plate in a simple manner, a useful movement having a transverse to the device axis component. Such a movement is well suited to release a lock, with which the control body is held in an open position.
- Claim 13 provides a solution for how to lock the control of the air flow through the separator control body in a simple manner in an open position, which is maintained until the maximum level is reached in the sedimentation.
- the specified in claim 14 locking for the control body is characterized by a mechanically particularly simple structure.
- FIG. 1 shows an axial section through a sedimentation
- Figure 2 an enlarged axial section through
- FIG. 1 A first figure.
- FIG. 3 shows an amalgam separator according to FIG.
- FIG. 1 is a view similar to FIG. 1, in which FIG
- a locking device for an air throughput control body is provided.
- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, which
- a total of 10 designates an amalgam separator which operates on the sedimentation principle.
- This separator comprises an inlet nozzle 12, which from a dental workstation with a mixture of air, body fluids and solid particles
- a suction cannula 13 is schematically shown, is sucked with the rinse water, saliva, blood and cuttings from the mouth of a patient.
- the inlet nozzle 12 is oriented horizontally and opens tangentially into a peripheral wall 14 of a vertical axis cyclone 16.
- a guide bell 18 is provided at a radial distance inwardly, which widens conically downwards and is mounted on a cylindrical air outlet channel 20 so that the lower edges of the outlet channel 20 and the bell jar 18 lie in a transverse.
- Peripheral wall 14 on the other hand formed annular space, the mixture introduced through the inlet port 12 slowly screwed down, the liquid and solid inventory parts of the mixture by centrifugal force against the
- lighter air portions move inwards and enter the cylindrical outlet channel 20.
- a servo angle valve 24 Via the outlet channel 20 and an attached angle piece 22, a servo angle valve 24, a vertical connecting line 26, a jet pump 28, a deflection angle
- the suction machine 34 is a wet suction machine in the form of a water ring pump.
- the mixture of liquid and solids released from the end of the dispensing nozzle 42 passes into the interior of the collecting container 44, where it forms a liquid volume 48 and a sediment volume 50 underneath.
- the mixture supplied from the intermediate container 36 Liquid and solid content separates under
- the jet pump 28 sucks from this uppermost liquid layer.
- the jet pump 28 has an injector 58 at the top in the drawing, which is acted on by the suction air and tapers downwards.
- the end of the injector 52 protrudes, leaving an annular gap 54 in a collector 56 which tapers conically downwards.
- the annular gap 54 communicates via an angular channel 58 with an intake pipe 60 which hangs down from the cover plate 46.
- a slender cup-shaped filter body 62 is pushed, which is e.g. may include a sintered filter material.
- the filter body 62 only needs to have filter characteristics in that portion which are below the end of the intake pipe 60. As can be seen from the drawing, lies the lower
- the mixture of air, liquid and solid particles enters the cyclone 16 via the inlet port 12. There, the air fractions are separated and withdrawn via the outlet channel 20.
- the liquid and solid fractions of the mixture pass via the intermediate container 36 into the collecting container 44. There, the largest part of the solids content settles and thus increases the sediment volume 50. From the upper layer of the liquid volume 48 clarified liquid standing there is extracted by the jet pump 28 which uses the sucked by the suction machine 34 air as a beam-working means.
- the collecting container 44 is removed from the cover plate 46. If, during this removal, the container is slightly shaken or tilted, this does not result in the spillage of liquid remaining inside the collecting container 44, since the liquid level lies at the lower end of the suction tube 60 and lies clearly below the upper edge of the collecting container 44.
- the removed collection container 44 can then be closed by a suitable lid and sent to a disposal company. Then an empty container is placed.
- amalgam separator can thus be handled safely without the risk of the environment being contaminated by germ-containing liquid. is being cleaned.
- a mechanism is installed in the separator, which throttles the Saugluftström or completely interrupts when the maximum allowable level for the sediment volume 50 is achieved.
- This mechanism comprises a control body 64, which comprises two closely connected shell parts 66, 68.
- the control body 64 is supported by a hollow rod 78, which is arranged with great radial play in the interior of the outlet channel 20 and spaced over two
- Membranes 80, 82 (see Figure 2) is mounted on a cylindrical attachment 84 of the cyclone 16.
- 64 illustrates a control surface that cooperates with the lower end of the cylindrical outlet channel 20.
- the control body 64 at the same time forms a float, which is raised when liquid enters the interior of the
- Outlet channel 20 and the top of the end wall 74 is reduced and eventually completely closed.
- the dentist working on the workplace equipped with the amalgam separator thus notices, by reducing the suction power or completely absent the suction power, that the collecting container 44 is full and needs to be replaced.
- amalgam separator shown in FIG. 1 is used in conjunction with a dry-suction machine, then according to FIG. 3 it is followed by a further cyclone 16 'which has a similar construction to the cyclone 16 and thus does not need to be described in detail.
- FIG. 4 shows a further modified amalgam separator, in which the control body 64 is held in a fully open position until the maximum permissible sediment level in the collecting container 44 has been reached.
- the control body 64 is now additionally distributed on its outer surface with a star-shaped in primasriehtung
- the rod 78 is biased by a spring 90 in the lug 84, which acts on it via a spring seat 92, in the closed position.
- a removable cap 94, the spring seat 92 is accessible from the outside to press it against the force of the spring 90 down.
- a further rod 96 is firmly attached, which is provided at its lower end with a radially projecting conical head 98. This is in a working position on the lower end of the dispensing nozzle 42 over, and in the manner described above pressing down
- the spring seat 92 runs the conical ramp surface of the head 98 via a locking wire 100 which is stretched transversely through the interior of the collecting container 44.
- It may be a plastic wire whose ends on the peripheral wall of the collecting container
- an elastomeric block spring 102 is inserted, which consists of an elastomeric porous material with a fluid-tight
- the sensor plate 104 may, for example, be made of a plastic material of low friction, such as PE or PA.
- the top of the sensor plate 104 carries a holding plate 106. Here, for the sake of clarity, this is lying on the axis of the collecting container 44
- the upper end of the holding plate 106 carries a horizontal running away from it in the drawing to the left
- Cutting edge 108 which may be similar to a razor blade formed by a ground metal plate.
- the block spring 102 in the course of operation of the amalgam 10 over the sensor plate 104, a sediment volume 50, the block spring 102 is increasingly compressed by the weight of the sediment volume.
- the stiffness of the block spring 102 is selected so that the cutting edge
- maximum permissible sediment volume 50 has been reached to a predetermined tolerance amount, e.g. approximately
- the blade 108 Upon further deposition of amalgam and other solids, the blade 108 then engages the plastic locking wire 100 and then cuts it. The head 98 of the rod 96 then comes free, and below the
- Suction cannula 13 no longer achieves a suction power, whereby the user of the device is made aware that the sump 44 are exchanged for an empty got to .
- the cutting edge 108 can also be attached to the upper end of the holding plate 106 such that the cutting edge 108 drops outwards and downwards so that a relative movement between the cutting edge 108 and the locking wire 100 is obtained when the feeler plate 104 is lowered.
- a cam surface may be attached to the end of the retaining plate 106, e.g. in the form of an outwardly and downwardly inclined rod, so that when moving down the feeler plate 104 then the locking wire 100 is pressed without destruction in Figure 4 to the right, whereby the head 98 is also released and the control body 64 then under the bias the spring 90 is moved to the closed position
- the sensor plate 104 is now but at its one, left in the drawing located on a step 110 tilted, which in the left in Figure 5
- the end of the retaining plate 106 rigidly carries a locking arm 112 which cooperates with the head 98.
- the sensor plate 104 is pivoted about the edge of the step 110 counter to the force of the block spring 102. With enough further pivoting the sensor plate 104 is then the locking arm 112 from the head 98 of the rod 96 free, whereby the control body 64 is moved again under the force of the spring 90 in the closed position.
- the amalgam separator described above and reproduced in the drawing can be inexpensively made of plastic injection molded parts in large quantities. It has a high level of operational safety, since it is not possible to continue to work in the sump when reaching a predetermined maximum allowable sediment end volume.
- the amalgam separator can be used directly on wet suction machines and can also be used on dry suction machines, if you put another air separator in series with it, which can be largely composed of the same components that make up the amalgam separator.
