Definitions

  • the invention relates to an example, mobile suction device, in particular for use in medical or cosmetic foot care, or in the podiatry, in the dental or laboratory field or for the removal of other particles from a work area, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the suction device has a housing on which a suction port for a suction line of a handpiece and an air outlet are provided. Furthermore, the suction device has a blower arrangement accommodated in the housing with a first blower and a second blower for generating an air flow from the suction connection to the air outlet.
  • blower for an electric suction device for foot care which has in a guide housing an impeller driven by a motor and a complex arrangement of air guide elements. Breakthroughs are provided in a carrier plate, through which the entry of an air flow generated by the blower in at least one other identical blower is possible.
  • the other fans can be grown as needed and modular to the first fan.
  • a disadvantage of the known suction device is that the blower has a relatively flat design in order to be able to connect it, if necessary, with at least one further identical blower.
  • the blades of the fan In order to ensure sufficient air volume transport in this flat design in the case of a use in the foot care area, the blades of the fan must have a relatively large blade diameter. As a result, a relatively large space for receiving the at least one fan is required within the suction device.
  • suction devices tend because of the size of the fan blades, in particular with increasing age, to vibration and noise.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a generic suction and to allow for a compact, in particular portable design a high air volume transport.
  • the first fan is connected via a otherwise closed flow chamber with the second blower, which forms a flow connection from the first blower to the second blower.
  • the pressure on the Abblasseite the first fan or in the flow chamber air pressure can be reduced by the series-connected second fan, whereby the transport of the air volume through the first fan away from the handpiece and thereby increases the transported air volume.
  • the flow chamber is formed by a receiving chamber in which the first blower and the second blower are arranged together and having an inlet opening to which a suction passage of the first blower is connected, and an outlet opening, to which a blow-off duct of the second blower connected is.
  • the common receiving chamber can be used to increase the volume of air introduced by the first blower into the receiving chamber and transported out of the second blower, in order to improve the overall performance of the blower arrangement.
  • a relatively compact design of the suction is possible by the common placement of both fans in a common receiving chamber. In this way, it is possible to perform the suction device as a whole as a mobile and especially portable unit.
  • the receiving chamber is bounded by a chamber wall, which encapsulates the blowers to the inlet opening and the outlet opening to the outside in terms of flow. In this way, it is ensured that only the volume of air transported by the first blower into the receiving chamber is sucked in by the second blower, whereby a higher compression effect and thus a higher suction performance of the blower arrangement are achieved.
  • the first fan has a first impeller axis, which is arranged parallel to a second impeller axis of the second blower, whereby the two fans can be accommodated in a relatively space-saving manner in the receiving chamber, in particular if they are arranged behind one another or next to each other.
  • the housing has an outer wall, wherein at least three sides of the receiving chamber is provided in each case a gap between the chamber wall and the outer wall.
  • a first intermediate space is formed by a filter space between the suction connection and the inlet opening.
  • the space used for noise reduction can simultaneously serve to receive a filter medium.
  • a second intermediate space is formed by an outflow space arranged downstream of the outlet opening.
  • the space used for noise reduction can simultaneously serve for the targeted discharge of the air volume transported away from the second fan.
  • a third intermediate space is formed by an electronics receiving area, which can serve for example for receiving electronic components or for laying electrical or electronic lines.
  • an electronics receiving area which can serve for example for receiving electronic components or for laying electrical or electronic lines.
  • At least one further fan is connected downstream of the first and second fans, as a result of which the suction power of the suction device can be increased even further.
  • first and second blower exactly three more fans are connected downstream. Due to the number of five blowers connected in series, maximum performance of the blower arrangement is achieved at a construction volume that is still well suited to the intended application.
  • the fans each have a brushless drive motor.
  • even high-speed drive motors can be provided, which have a low heat production and are substantially free of abrasion, in particular coal dust.
  • the brushless drive motors a long life and a low maintenance requirement of the suction device can be achieved.
  • blower each have an impeller with a blade diameter of less than 60 mm and the drive motor have a maximum number of revolutions of at least 15,000 U / min.
  • the blower each have an impeller with a blade diameter of less than 60 mm and the drive motor have a maximum number of revolutions of at least 15,000 U / min.
  • Fig. 1 shows a portable suction device 2 for mobile use in medical or cosmetic foot care.
  • This has a housing 4 for receiving a fan assembly 6, to which a suction port 8 for connection of a handpiece 10 and an air outlet 12 is provided.
  • blower assembly 6 for generating the air flow L, a first blower 18 and a second fan 20.
  • Both blowers 18, 20 are in this case arranged in a chamber chamber 22 bounded by a common receiving chamber 24 in which they are completely encapsulated except for an inlet opening 26 and an outlet opening 28 to the outside.
  • An intake passage 30 of the first blower 18 is connected at the inlet opening 26 and a blow-off passage 32 of the second blower 20 to the outlet opening 28, so that the blowers 18, 20 are connected in series via the receiving chamber 24, which acts as an otherwise closed flow chamber.
  • the first fan 18 between the suction port 8 and receiving chamber 24 is disposed outside thereof and the exhaust side connected to the inlet port 26 and / or the second fan 20 disposed between the receiving chamber 24 and the air outlet 12 outside the receiving chamber 24 and the inlet side is connected to the outlet opening 28.
  • Both blowers 18, 20 are of identical construction and each have a brushless drive motor 34 which can drive an impeller 36 with a maximum speed U of at least 15,000 rpm.
  • the impellers 36 have a blade diameter of less than 60 mm and rotate about a first impeller axis A1 and second impeller axis A2, which are arranged parallel to each other.
  • the chamber wall 22 is arranged at least three sides spaced from an outer wall 38 of the housing 4. In this way, a first gap 40 is formed between the suction port 8 and the inlet opening 26 of the receiving chamber 24, which can be used as a filter chamber for receiving a filter medium F, such as in the form of a dust bag.
  • a second intermediate space 42 is also formed, which acts as a discharge and ensures a targeted and low-noise transport of the air flow L to the ambient air.
  • a third gap 44 is formed, which can serve as a receiving area for electrical and electronic components EB, such as control elements, lines, supply connections and so on.
  • the brushless drive motors 34 of the two fans 18, 20 are started and controlled to drive the impellers 36 about the impeller axes A1, A2. Due to the high rotational speed of the two high-speed drive motors 34, a relatively large volume of air is conveyed via the suction opening 14 into the handpiece 10 and via the hose 16 to the suction connection 8 and into the first intermediate space. In this dust or abrasion particles P are retained by the filter medium F, while the purified air flow L through the inlet opening 26 and the connected thereto Intake passage 30 is transported to the first blower 18 and is discharged from this into the receiving chamber 24. From here, the air flow L is sucked in turn by the second fan 20 and conveyed via the discharge port 28 connected to the bleed passage 32 to the second space 42. About this the air flow L then passes to the air outlet 12, where it is discharged to the outside air.
  • blower arrangement 6 a lighter transport of the volume of air from the handpiece 10 into the receiving chamber 24 is achieved by the second blower 2 connected downstream of the first blower 18 or the transported air volume is increased.
