DE10342649B3 - Vacuum cleaning and kitchen fume hood system for caravan or mobile home has fixed pipe leading to fixed suction fan and connection sockets for flexible suction hose attached to suction head - Google Patents

Abstract

The vacuum cleaning and kitchen fume hood (5) system is installed in a caravan or mobile home. It has a system of fixed pipes (3), including underfloor pipes (8) leading to a fixed suction fan (1) installed under a seat. There are connection sockets (2) for a flexible suction hose attached to a suction head to act as a vacuum cleaner. The system includes a filter for catching the dust and fumes drawn into the vacuum line, and there is a pressure line (4) used with a connection fitting (7) for blowing up air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc.

Description

It in the invention is a stationary electrical appliance installed in campers, caravans, buses, boats, residential containers and others Residential or residence containers for persons Things or animals, which by its conception suitable for it is, air and dirt particles over to suck in permanently mounted or mobile intake ducts Filter air and, if necessary, to compress the purified air order objects inflate (inflatable boats, air mattresses, swimming aids, etc.).

Known prior art:

For cleaning of campers, caravans, boats, living containers and other mobile Residential containers the operation of extractor hoods therein and for the generation of atmospheric overpressure are in their current function separate in their function mobile devices (vacuum cleaners, inflators) and stationary devices (Extractor hoods) available, the in your construction and handling in the above cramped space by size and weight are only partially suitable. In addition, these require mobile devices during the Not in use increased Storage space in these cramped conditions and increase through the high weight and the weight of the mobile housing, which negatively affects the available payload (payload) effect.

I would like that User of a mobile home, caravan, boat today during the Vacuum the trip in his mobile home, inflate his air mattress, his in the kitchen operate extractor hood, it requires three different devices with three Electric motors that he manages in his cramped conditions accommodate and store when not in use. In addition, these devices are not especially for Designed to operate in these tight spaces. These equipment have a stable (heavy) construction, as they are resistant to external forces (Impact, Shock) have to. A household vacuum cleaner with a Saugroh of about 1.50 meters draws in use in a caravan only limited user-friendly because the electric motor is always guided close to the suction point got to. There is a risk that the stable vacuum cleaner due his moving mass the furniture manufactured in lightweight construction and Appliances damaged in the mobile home. In addition, such vacuum cleaners blow the sucked air back into the living room and whirl up dust again.

battery vacuum cleaner are usually characterized by weaker suction and limited Operating time (battery empty) off. In addition, these systems work very well noisy what's on a campsite with prolonged use for annoyance the neighbors can drive. Extractor hoods in motorhomes, caravans, Boats, living containers and other living or residence containers and inflators for inflatable Leisure products often work very unsatisfactorily in terms of their performance.

From the US 2003 01 40 443 A1 a stationary vacuum cleaner is known, which is housed in a motor home or caravan, the vacuum cleaner is permanently mounted and connected to inside or outside (underfloor) of the living area pipes is connected. In these pipes, several connections are provided for the suction hose, so that the suction hose can have a normal length. Although this system facilitates the vacuuming because the vacuum cleaner motor does not have to be constantly carried. However, it is still necessary to carry separate devices for the inflation of leisure articles and for the extractor hood.

My The aim is therefore to create a system that allows it as possible few devices in campers, caravans, boats, buses, residential containers and others Residential or residence containers take.

These The object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

Thereby, that connect to the existing suction system connection options for the extractor hood and for an overpressure pipe system are provided, only one engine and a fan is needed, which considerably Saves weight and space.

Of the Vacuum cleaner can save space in a cabinet, under seating or other accessible cavities be housed. Advantageously, the drive unit of the vacuum cleaner is over external control element controlled (on / off, speed, path of the exhaust air).

The sucked air is filtered in the vacuum cleaner and cleaned so Air into the open air (eg under the motorhome) pressed. About a folding mechanism let yourself redirect this air flow into a fixed pipe system, on which also at least one junction box is attached. At this junction box let yourself connect a flexible filling hose. With this filling hose can one use the overpressure created in the system around z. B. air mattresses, Inflatable boats, swimming aids for children or similar inflate.

at this activity one of the suction hose junction boxes or the filling hose must be open is connected to a combined suction hose / filling hose connection box.

At The permanently installed suction pipes are also in the kitchen area existing, optionally equipped with grease filter hood connected. Over a Flap in the suction pipe of the extractor hood can be connected to the suction system be and needed thus no longer own drive.

Of the Vacuum cleaner can over a dust bag or over a permanent filter with dirt box, which can be changed as needed or can be evacuated. The drive unit needed no exceptionally stable Sheathing (rubbers, edge protection) as they neither shock, blow or exposed to excessive moisture is. As a result, a weight-saving design can be used.

Especially Cheap is it the stationary vacuum cleaner (Electric motor either 230 or 12 volts) soundproofed perform. The vacuum cleaner sucks over firmly installed rigid or flexible intake pipes with branches air.

The Intake pipes and also the overpressure pipes are made of lightweight materials (plastic, aluminum, air-impermeable cardboard tubes or similar lightweight materials), which in the camping car / boat building he wishes are. These pipes can in the caravan / motorhome inside or outside the living area (underfloor) be misplaced.

At the End of the lines is over Junction boxes in the living area and outside (eg in the awning area), which are closed airtight by flaps when not in use, connected at various points of the flexible suction hose. This ensures that you have several connection options in the living room has (eg dinette, sleeping area, bathroom, outdoor area in the awning).

Of the flexible suction hose can be optional in appropriate space (eg bed box) also in a permanently installed rigid intake pipe to be stowed when not in use, which also underfloor (outside of the living area) and after use with a airtight closing Flap is to be provided.

• 1. Staubsaugen
• 2. Betrieb einer Dunstabzughaube
• 3. Aufblasen von Luftmatratzen, Schlauchbooten, Schwimmhilfen für Kinder oder Ähnliches.
• 4. Aussagen von Luftmatrazen, Schlauchbooten, Schwimmhilfen für Kinder oder Ähnliches

This system allows four functions with only one drive unit:

• 1. Vacuuming
• 2. Operation of a vapor extraction hood
• 3. Inflating air mattresses, dinghies, swimming aids for children or the like.
• 4. Statements of air mattresses, dinghies, buoyancy aids for children or similar

It storage space is saved and saved on dead weight (only one drive motor), As a result, the released payload can be used elsewhere.

It is characterized by weight saving, quiet operation and Easier handling in confined spaces (less moving mass while sucking).

By the installation of several connection options increases the comfort.

By the blowing out of the sucked air into the open occurs inside of the mobile home, caravan, boat or similar when vacuuming no new Air turbulence that moves or stirs up dust (high efficiency and hygiene).
