  • WO 2013/143616 discloses with reference to Figure 1 a hard-surface suction implement 10 which comprises a suction device 12 with a suction nozzle 14, a separating unit 16 and a suction assembly 18.
  • the hard-surface suction implement 10 further comprises a dirty liquid tank 20 and a handle 22.
  • the separating unit 16 has a separating chamber 32 in which at least one separating element 36 is arranged.
  • the hard-surface suction implement 10 comprises a suction inlet 34, a liquid outlet 52 and an air outlet 40, wherein the suction inlet 34 is flow-connected to the suction nozzle 14, the liquid outlet 52 is flow-connected to the dirty liquid tank 20 and the air outlet 40 is flow- connected to the suction assembly 18.
  • the handle 22 is arranged below the suction device 12 in relation to an upright position of the hard-surface suction implement 10.
  • a problem with the hard-surface suction implement 10 of WO 2013/143616 is that if the operator operates the implement such that the suction nozzle 14 points in a downwards direction, it is very likely that liquid contained in the dirty liquid tank 20 will impinge on the separating element 36, leak into the air outlet 40 and reach a suction turbine 44 and/or an electric motor 46 driving the turbine, thereby causing damage to the hard-surface suction implement 10.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve, or at least mitigate, this problem in the art and thus to provide an improved portable vacuum cleaning device for hard surfaces where cleaning liquid does not reach, and ultimately cause damage to, a suction fan of the cleaning device.
  • a portable vacuum cleaning device for a hard surface comprising a housing, a container releasably attached to the housing, a nozzle configured to remove a cleaning liquid applied to the hard surface to be cleaned, and a suction fan arranged in the housing to create an airflow through an air inlet of the nozzle via the container and an air suction inlet arranged in the housing for transporting the removed cleaning liquid to the container.
  • the container comprises a separation device configured to separate the liquid from the airflow, a waste liquid tank configured to house the separated liquid, and a protection device configured to prevent the separated liquid from entering the air suction inlet.
  • the protection device is attached to a back end section of the housing to cover the air suction inlet behind which the suction fan is arranged.
  • the separation device which is arranged on top of the protection device, is configured to separate the cleaning liquid entering the container with the airflow created by the suction fan which cleaning liquid impinges on the separation device. The airflow will thus pass through the separation device and the protection deice and enter the air suction inlet.
  • the cleaning liquid may be composed of water, a detergent or a mix thereof.
  • the removed cleaning liquid usually also comprises dirt and/or dust removed from the hard surface mixed with the cleaning liquid.
  • a waste liquid tank is formed between the protection device and the separation device at a base portion of the separation device.
  • the tank is configured to accommodate the cleaning liquid being separated from the airflow by the separation device.
  • the waste liquid tank facilitates retaining of the cleaning liquid at a bottom of the container in order to avoid having cleaning liquid entering the air section inlet of the housing.
  • the waste liquid tank advantageously prevents the cleaning liquid from swirling back and forth in the container, which swirling may be perceived by the user as rendering operation of the cleaning device more difficult.
  • the protection device to be arranged at the air suction inlet comprises a tubular protecting member.
  • this even further prevents the cleaning liquid from entering the air suction inlet.
  • the protection device is arranged on top of the air suction inlet of the housing such that a proximal end of the tubular protecting member is aligned with the air suction inlet.
  • the tubular protecting member is arranged to extend into the container such that a distal end of the tubular protecting member is located above a maximum cleaning liquid fill level that normally would be reached in the container.

  • the tubular protecting member is arranged to extend into the container at least twice the height of the waste liquid tank, and preferably around three times the height of the waste liquid tank, which height is defined by a top section arranged to prevent the liquid in the tank from exiting the tank in a longitudinal direction.
  • the distal end of the tubular protecting member is arranged to have an oval shape. This is advantageous since less turbulence is caused by the airflow created by the suction fan as compared to a circular shape.
  • any movement of cleaning liquid within the tank is advantageously prevented by arranging the waste liquid tank with dividing members transversally extending in the tank to divide the waste liquid tank into several smaller chambers.
  • the separation device covering the protection device comprises a separating portion, in the form of e.g. a double concave deflecting surface, which is arranged to at least partly cover the distal end of the tubular protecting member from cleaning liquid which impinges on the separating portion upon entering the container.
  • the separating portion improves the ability of the cleaning liquid to splash off of the separation device.
  • the separation device comprises wings, such as e.g. four or eight wings, extending longitudinally along the separation device down to the waste liquid tank, preferably to the bottom of the waste liquid tank, when the separation device is assembled onto the protection device.
  • these wings divide the volume inside the container into multiple chambers, thereby slowing down movement of the cleaning liquid inside the container.
  • the separating portion and the longitudinal wings cooperate to create an air labyrinth for the air to reach the air suction inlet.
  • the separation device (including any wings and/or double concave deflecting surface) forms a surface to which liquid contained in the air flow attaches, thereby facilitating separation of the cleaning liquid from the air flow which can flow further along the wings and down to the air suction inlet via any openings in the separation device .
