Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Beseitigung von Allergenen, insbesondere von Hausstaubmilben und anderen Parasiten, mit einem eine Ansaugöffnung aufwei­ senden Staubsauger und einem mit diesem Staubsauger verbundenen Feinfilter.The invention relates to a device for disposal of allergens, especially house dust mites and other parasites, with a suction opening send vacuum cleaner and one with this vacuum cleaner connected fine filter.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise aus E. Petri, et al., Allergologie, Jahrgang 5, Nr. 3, 1982, 109 bis 119, bekannt ist, dient dazu, allergene Belastungen durch Parasiten, insbesondere durch Haus­ staubmilben, zu beseitigen. Aus der genannten Druck­ schrift ist bekannt, daß Hausstaubmilben Allergien ver­ ursachen können, problematisch ist jedoch ihre Beseiti­ gung.Such a device, such as that of E. Petri, et al., Allergology, Volume 5, No. 3, 1982, 109 to 119, is known, serves allergens Exposure to parasites, especially house dust mites, eliminate them. From the mentioned print Scripture is known that house dust mites ver allergies cause, but their elimination is problematic supply.

Aus der DE 38 05 429 A1 ist es bekannt, Hausstaubmilben mittels Ultraschall zu bekämpfen. Die Hausstaubmilben werden dadurch zwar abgetötet, sie bleiben aber in den Wohntextilien wie Teppichböden, Matratzen, Sesseln usw. haften. Die von ihnen ausgehende allergene Belastung ist damit also keineswegs beseitigt.DE 38 05 429 A1 discloses house dust mites to fight with ultrasound. The house dust mites are thereby killed, but they remain in the Home textiles such as carpets, mattresses, armchairs etc. be liable. The allergenic burden they cause is therefore by no means eliminated.

Aus der DE 41 28 413 A1 ist es bekannt, die sehr klei­ nen Hausstaubmilben mittels eines Staubsaugers abzusau­ gen, wobei der Staubsauger mit sehr feinen doppelten Filterbeuteln ausgestattet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird zwar ein Aufwirbeln des Hausstaubes weitgehend re­ duziert, eine gänzliche Beseitigung ist jedoch nicht gewährleistet.From DE 41 28 413 A1 it is known that the very small dusting house dust mites with a vacuum cleaner gene, being the vacuum cleaner with very fine double Filter bags is equipped. By this measure Whirling up the house dust is largely re reduced, but a total elimination is not guaranteed.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vor­ richtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, mit der Hausstaubmilben und andere, Allergien aus­ lösende Parasiten aus dem häuslichen Bereich, insbeson­ dere aus Wohntextilien, beseitigt werden können.The object of the present invention is to provide a to create the direction of the type described at the beginning, with the house dust mites and other allergies Solving parasites from the home, in particular from home textiles, can be eliminated.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß in der Ansaug­ öffnung des Staubsaugers mindestens eine an sich be­ kannte Ultraschallquelle angeordnet und der mit dem Staubsauger verbundene Filter ein mit einer Wasserfül­ lung versehener Feuchtfilter ist, wobei dem Staubsauger eine UV-Lichtquelle zugeordnet werden kann.This problem is solved in that in the intake Opening the vacuum cleaner at least one per se Known ultrasound source and arranged with the Vacuum cleaner connected filter with a water fill is provided damp filter, the vacuum cleaner a UV light source can be assigned.

Durch diese Maßnahmen wird eine Vorrichtung geschaffen, mit der Hausstaubmilben abgetötet werden, so daß sie aus Ihrer Verankerung und Verkrallung in den Wohntex­ tilien loslassen. Mittels eines tiefgehenden Staubsau­ gers können diese Hausstaubmilben dann abgesaugt wer­ den. Durch den Feuchtfilter können auch kleinste abge­ saugte Partikelchen wie Hausstaubmilben, deren Kot, de­ ren Eier, aber auch Blütenpollen usw. aus dem mit Staub beladenen, angesaugten Luftstrom ausgefiltert werden. Auf diese Weise ist eine gänzliche Reinigung möglich und die Beseitigung der Allergene gewährleistet. Mit­ tels einer zusätzlich zum Einsatz bringbaren UV-Licht­ quelle ist es möglich, auch Bakterien und andere Keime wirksam zu bekämpfen und zu beseitigen.These measures create a device be killed with the house dust mite so that it from your anchoring and clawing into the living text let go of tiles. By means of a deep vacuum These house dust mites can then be extracted the. Even the smallest can be removed thanks to the moisture filter sucked particles like house dust mites, their droppings, de eggs, but also pollen, etc. from the dust loaded, sucked air flow are filtered out. Complete cleaning is possible in this way and ensures the elimination of allergens. With a UV light that can also be used source, it is also possible to bacteria and other germs fight and eliminate effectively.

Weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahmen sind in den übrigen Un­ teransprüchen beschrieben. Die Erfindung ist anhand ei­ nes Ausführungsbeispieles in den beiliegenden Zeichnun­ gen dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben; es zeigt:Further advantageous measures are in the remaining Un Described claims.

Fig. 6 den Schnitt durch einen mit Wasser ge­ füllten Feuchtfilter, zur Verbindung mit einem Staubsauger nach den Fig. 1 bis 3. Fig. 6 shows the section through a ge filled with water wet filter, for connection to a vacuum cleaner according to FIGS . 1 to 3.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Vorrichtung 10 zur Beseitigung von Hausstaubmilben und anderen Parasi­ ten, besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Staubsauger 11, der mit einer Ansaugdüse 23 versehen und beispielsweise auf Rollen 48 verfahrbar ist. In der nach unten offenen Ansaugöffnung 24 der Ansaugdüse 23 sind, wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, zwei Ultraschallquellen 22 angeordnet. Diese Ultraschallquellen 22 werden von einem Oszillator 25 angeregt und senden Ultraschallwellen von ca. 20 bis 120 kHz in Abstrahlwinkeln 26, die eine Größe von ca. 45° aufweisen.The device 10 shown in FIGS . 1 to 3 for removing dust mites and other Parasi th, consists essentially of a vacuum cleaner 11 which is provided with a suction nozzle 23 and can be moved, for example, on rollers 48 . As shown in FIG. 3, two ultrasound sources 22 are arranged in the suction opening 24 of the suction nozzle 23 , which is open at the bottom. These ultrasound sources 22 are excited by an oscillator 25 and send ultrasound waves of approximately 20 to 120 kHz in radiation angles 26 which have a size of approximately 45 °.

Wie die Fig. 3a zeigt, besteht der Oszillator 25 aus einem Tongenerator 40 dem ein Wahlgruppenschalter 41 nachgeordnet ist. Über den Wahlgruppenschalter 41 kön­ nen als Teiler arbeitende Wechselschalter 42 wahlweise angesteuert werden. Über die Wechselschalter 42 können über Zeitautomaten 44 harte bis weiche Schwingungen, beispielsweise zwischen ca. 30 bis 75 kHz, eingestellt werden. Die Dauer der Ultraschallbehandlung ist übli­ cherweise ungleich der Saugzeit des Staubsaugers 11 und kann deshalb über einen Zeitschalter 43 variiert wer­ den.As shown in FIG. 3a, the oscillator 25 consists of a tone generator 40 which is followed by an electoral group switch 41 . About the group switch 41 NEN working as a divider switch 42 can be optionally controlled. Hard to soft vibrations, for example between approx. 30 to 75 kHz, can be set via the changeover switch 42 via automatic timers 44 . The duration of the ultrasound treatment is usually unequal to the suction time of the vacuum cleaner 11 and can therefore be varied via a timer 43.

An den Wechselschalter 42 schließt sich ein Endverstär­ ker 46 an, der die Ultraschallschwingungen über die Ultraschallquellen 22 auf die vorgesehene Behandlungs­ fläche abstrahlt. Ein Netzteil 45 schließlich versorgt den Tongenerator 40, den Wechselschalter 42 und den Endverstärker 46 mit elektrischem Strom.At the changeover switch 42 , a power amplifier 46 connects, which radiates the ultrasonic vibrations via the ultrasonic sources 22 onto the intended treatment area. Finally, a power supply unit 45 supplies the tone generator 40 , the changeover switch 42 and the power amplifier 46 with electrical current.

Der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Staubsauger 11 ist mit einem Saugansatz 21 versehen, der über einen flexiblen Schlauch 47 mit einem in der Fig. 6 darge­ stellten Feuchtfilter 12 verbunden ist. Der Feuchtfil­ ter 12 besteht aus einem Filtergehäuse 13, in dem eine Wasserfüllung 39 untergebracht ist.The vacuum cleaner 11 shown in FIGS . 1 to 3 is provided with a suction attachment 21 , which is connected via a flexible hose 47 to a moisture filter 12 shown in FIG. 6. The Feuchtfil ter 12 consists of a filter housing 13 in which a water filling 39 is housed.

Das Filtergehäuse 13 ist oben mit einem Gehäusedeckel 35 abgedeckt, durch den über einen Schlauchanschluß 37 ein Einlaßrohr 15 geführt ist. Das Einlaßrohr 15 mündet unterhalb des Wasserstandes 14 in der Wasserfüllung 39. Mittels Rollen 48 kann auch der Feuchtfilter 12 ver­ fahren werden.The filter housing 13 is covered at the top with a housing cover 35 through which an inlet pipe 15 is guided via a hose connection 37 . The inlet pipe 15 opens into the water filling 39 below the water level 14 . By means of rollers 48 , the wet filter 12 can also be moved ver.

In der Mündung des Einlaßrohres 15 ist ein Propeller 16 angeordnet, der die angesaugte, mit Staubpartikeln belastete Abluft des Staubsaugers 11 in der Wasserfül­ lung 39 durchwirbelt und so für eine gute Eintragung sorgt. Zur Erhöhung des Verwirbelungseffektes sind noch Verwirbelungseinsätze 19 in dem Filtergehäuse 13 vorge­ sehen. Diese Verwirbelungseinsätze 19 begünstigen in der Wasserfüllung 39 eine Umkehrung der Strömung und damit einen intensiven Austausch mit der eingeleiteten, staubbelasteten Luft.In the mouth of the inlet pipe 15 , a propeller 16 is arranged, which whirls the sucked-in, dust-laden exhaust air of the vacuum cleaner 11 in the water filling 39 and thus ensures good entry. To increase the swirling effect, swirling inserts 19 are provided in the filter housing 13 . These swirling inserts 19 promote a reversal of the flow in the water filling 39 and thus an intensive exchange with the introduced, dust-laden air.

Zur Erhöhung der Reinigungswirkung des Feuchtfilters 12 ist eine Heizung 17 vorgesehen, die eine Erwärmung der Wasserfüllung 39 auf ca. 60 bis 80°C bewirkt. Geregelt wird die Heizung 17 über einen Thermostaten 18. Um die Wasserfüllung 39 aus dem Filtergehäuse 13 ablassen zu können, ist an dessen tiefster Stelle ein Abflußrohr 20 vorgesehen.To increase the cleaning effect of the moisture filter 12 , a heater 17 is provided, which causes the water filling 39 to be heated to approximately 60 to 80 ° C. The heater 17 is controlled by a thermostat 18 . In order to drain the water filling 39 from the filter housing 13 , a drain pipe 20 is provided at its lowest point.

Die in das Gehäuse 13 bzw. in die Wasserfüllung 39 ein­ geleitete Abluft wird nach der Reinigung durch Luftaus­ trittsschlitze 36 wieder aus dem Filtergehäuse 13 abge­ lassen. Innen sind die Luftaustrittsschlitze 36 durch einen trockenen Abluftfilter 38 abgedeckt.The in the housing 13 or in the water filling 39 a waste air is after cleaning through air outlet slots 36 again from the filter housing 13 abge. Inside, the air outlet slots 36 are covered by a dry exhaust air filter 38 .

Zum Abtöten von Keimen kann dem Staubsauger 11 eine Ul­ traviolett-Strahlungsquelle zugeordnet werden. Bei der in der Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführung ist ein UV-Handstrahler 27 dargestellt, bei dem eine UV-Röhre 30 von einer Halterung 28 gehalten und mit einem Reflektor 29 versehen ist. Der UV-Handstrahler 27 kann zielgenau auf bestimmte Fläche gerichtet werden.An ultraviolet radiation source can be assigned to the vacuum cleaner 11 to kill germs. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a UV hand lamp 27 is shown, in which a UV tube 30 is held by a holder 28 and is provided with a reflector 29 . The UV hand lamp 27 can be aimed precisely at a specific surface.

Wie die Fig. 4a zeigt, kann die Halterung 28 über eine Verlängerungsmuffe 31 verlängert werden oder zu einem in der Fig. 5 dargestellten UV-Standgerät 32 verbunden werden. Das UV-Standgerät 32 weist eine Zentralhalte­ rung 33 auf, welche über Peripherhalterungen 34 mit den Reflektoren 29 und den UV-Röhren 30 verbunden ist. Ein derartiges UV-Standgerät 32 kann beispielsweise über eine vorbestimmbare Zeit in einem ansonsten verlassenen Raum aufgestellt werden, um Bakterien oder andere Keime und Parasiten mittels UV-Licht abzutöten.As FIG. 4 a shows, the holder 28 can be extended via an extension sleeve 31 or connected to a UV stand unit 32 shown in FIG. 5. The UV free-standing device 32 has a central holding device 33 , which is connected to the reflectors 29 and the UV tubes 30 via peripheral brackets 34 . Such a UV free-standing device 32 can, for example, be set up for a predetermined time in an otherwise abandoned room in order to kill bacteria or other germs and parasites by means of UV light.

Die so abgetöteten Parasiten, Keime, Allergene usw. können dann mit einem Staubsauger 11, der mit einem Feuchtfilter 12 ausgestattet ist, abgesaugt und damit beseitigt werden.The parasites, germs, allergens, etc. which have been killed in this way can then be suctioned off with a vacuum cleaner 11 , which is equipped with a moist filter 12 , and can thus be eliminated.
