Abstract
A B S T R A C T
The filter disks (12, 13) of the filter device are provided on both sides on a filter chamber (34), which surrounds an inflow-side, closed outflow chamber (5) in circular or helical manner. For periodic cleaning purposes on each filter disk (12, 13) is provided a suction nozzle (14, 15) for filtered off solid particles, which extends over the radial width of the filter disk (12, 13). During cleaning, a drive (20, 21) rotates the outflow chamber (5) with the filter chamber (34) fixed thereto, so that the filter disks move along the suction nozzles (14, 15). In the case of a helical filter chamber (34) only one pair of suction nozzles (14, 15) is required, in that they are moved on a rod guide as a result of the rotary movement of the filter chamber (34). The rotary movement of the filter chamber (34) in one direction makes one of the filter disks (12, 13) engage with one of the suction nozzles (14, 15). In the meantime the other is closed by a check valve (45). An outwardly tapering cross-sectional shape of thefilter chamber (34) permits the engagement of the suction nozzles (14, 15) with a slight pitch of the thread shape of the filter chamber (34) or in the case of a confined arrangement of several axially juxtaposed filter chambers. Thus, no separate drive is required for moving a suction nozzle over the filter surface and, compared with its size, the filter device has a large filter surface.

The filter device shown in two basic embodiments has a casing I forming an outerboundary, having an inlet 2 for the medium to be cleaned, e.g. the air of an air20 conditioning plant, on one casing side and having an outlet 3 on the opposite casing side. For example, the casing I forms an enlarged duct portion of a not shown flow duct. The cross-sectional shape of the casing 1 is preferably square, so that the filter device can be arranged in space-saving manner.
In the casing I a cylindrical outflow chamber is mounted in rotary manner being 25 closed on the inflow side by a wall 4 and to whose circumference are fixed several circular filter chambers 6 to 9. The gas to be cleaned consequently flows from the outside via the filter chambers 6 to 9 radially into the outflow chamber 51 so as to leave the latter axially via the outflow-side chamber opening I0 in a form from which the solid particles have been removed. In the vicinity of the circular filter chambers 6 30 to 9, the wall of the outflow chamber 5 has for this purpose several circumferentially uniformly distributed openings 11.
As the circular filter chambers 6 to 9 have on both sides in each case one filter disk 12, 13 and axially and successively several are arranged on the outflow chamber 5, , . .

compared with its external dimensions the filter device has a particularly large overall filter surface. The radially measured width of the individual circular ring-shaped filter disk 12, 13 is determined by the length of the elongated suction nozzles 14, IS
!ocated thereon. The diameter of the filter disks 12, 13 is obtained on the basis of the 5 flow cross-section desired for the outflow chamber S for the cleaned medium flowing to the outlet 10. This flow cross-section is preferably adapted to the cross-sectional size of the flow paths on the inflow side to the filter disks, so that there are no significant changes to the flow rates between the inlet and outlet of the filter device.
The spacing between the radially outer boundary of the filter chambers 6 to 9 and the 10 wall of the casing I is correspondingly chosen. In the case of a square cross-sectional shape of the casing I in accordance with the represented embodiments said spacing can be particularly small, because in the four corner areas 17 of the casing there are large cross-sections for the inflow to the filter disks 12, 13 of the different filter chambers 6 to 9.
15 In order to clean the filter disks 12, 13 of the filter chambers 6 to 9 after collecting a certain quantity of filtered off solid particles and which leads to a significant pressure drop in connection with the flow-through the filter device, they are moved in rotary manner along fixed suction nozzles 14, IS on either side of each filter chamber 6 to 9.
For this purpose the outfiow cnamber 5 is mounled in rotary manner a[ ilS two ends 20 by means of bearings 18, 19 and is connected to a drive, which e.g. comprises an electric motor 20 and a V-belt drive transmission 21. The bearings 18, 19 are secured to the frame 29 fixed in the casing. The shaft 30 of the outflow chamber 5 is fixed on the inflow side to the chamber wall 4 and on the outflow side to spokes 35 of the outflow chamber S.
25 The sealing between the rotary outflow chamber 5 and an outflow-side endplate 23 fixed to the casing I is provided by a seal ar~angement 24 in accordance with Fig. I l.
This arrangement has a sealing rib 25 surrounding the outflow chamber S and which rotates therewith and which is surrounded on either side by in each case one sealing ring 26, 27 fixed to the end plate 23. The differential pressure of the medium to be 30 filtered present between the inflow side and outflow side of the filter device presses the axially displaceably mounted outflow chamber S with its sealing rib 25 against the outflow-side sealing ring 27.
The filter disks 12, 13 made from textile filter mats are assembled from several disk elements cut out in ring sector-like manner and are detachably fixed to a wheel-like 35 support frame 31 for forming the filter chambers 6 to 9. On either side of a filter :

chamber 6 to 9 are e.g. provided four disk elements, so that each extends over an arc angle of 90. Their fixing to the support frarne 21 can e.g. take place by means of Velcro strip fasteners 22, which are provided in strip-like manner on an outwardly inclined surface of the hub or rim-like frame elements 32, 33.
The filter device of the embodiment of Figs. 4 to 6 differs from that according to Figs. I to 3 in that there is only one filtér chamber 34, which helically surrounds an outflow chamber 5, whose axial length is the same as that in the previously described embodiment. Openings 11' arranged in a helical row constitute the flow connection from the filter chamber 34 into the outflow chamber 5'. This filter device only requires one pair of suction nozzles 14', 15', which enclose between them the thread pitch of the filter chamber 34 in accordance with Fig. 7.
In order that the helical filter chamber 34 can move between the two suction nozzles 14, 15 during the rotation of the outflow chamber 5', said nozzles are fixed to a common nozzle carrier 37, which is displaceably guided on a guide rod 38 by means of a travelling carriage 37 (Figs. 9 and 10). The guidance on the helical filterchamber 34 takes place by means of two rollers 40, 41 mounted on the nozzle carrier 36 and which enclose between them with an adequate spacing a guide rib 42, so as to be able to take account of divergences in the shape of the guide rib 42 from a geo-metrically precise helix.
For cleaning the filter disks 12, 13 the otherwise stationary filter chamber 34 is rotated in a direction by the belt drive 20, 21 until the travelling carriage 37 carried along by the guide rib 42 strikes against a limit switch 39 positioned in the vicinity of the guide rod 38. This limit switch 39 brings about a reversal of the rotation direction of the belt drive 20, 21, as well as the reversal of a check valve 45 operated by a sliding drive 44. Said valve only frees the suction line 46, 47 of one of the suction nozzles 14, 15 arranged on either side of the filter chamber 34 and against which engages one of the filter disks 12, 13 as a result of the rotary and conveying move-ment of the helix thereof. Since, as a function of the rotary movement, only onesuction nozzle 14, 15 of the nozzle pair is active, there is an intense cleaning action on the flexible, textile filter material. Thus, as a result of the suction flow, the filter material bends out slightly between the radially directed boundary lips 48, 49 of the particular suction nozzles 14, 15 the detachment of impurities from the filter disk is facilitated by a vibrating motor 50 fixed to the suction nozzles 14, 15, so that the .~,, , , , . , ....................... , . ,~ . , .
, ,;.,. , :: . ,,, , ~ ~ :

- 5 - - ~
boundary lips 48, 49 of the suction nozzles 14, 15 have a vibrating action on the filter material .
The suction lines 46, 47 of the suction nozzles 14, 15 are connected, behind the check valve 45, to an outwardly leading collecting line 52 or 53, to whose end can be 5 coupled a commercial vacuum cleaner 54. As the cleaning of the filter disks is only necessary after given time intervals, the vacuum cleaner can be uncoupled from the filter device during the intervening periods. During the latter when the filter device is operating normally, both suction lines 46, 47 are closed by the check valve 45.
For disinfecting the filter material after sucking off the impurities, on the unit carrying 10 the suction nozzles 14, 15 and the vibrating motor 50 there is a spray nozzle 51, which extends in slot-like manner over the radial width of the filter disks 12, 13.
The cross-sectional shape of the filter chamber 34 and the suc~ion nozzles 14, 15, located thereon, of the previously described embodiment of the filter device can ~e similarly constructed in the first embodiment with several axially succeeding filter 15 chambers 6 to 9. The radially outwardly tapering cross-sectional shape of the filter chambers 6 to 9 or 34 has several advantages. Despite the engagement of the suction nozzles 14, 15, it makes it possible to axially juxtapose with a limited spacing several filter chambers 6 to 9 or to shape the helical filter chamber 34 with a limi~ed pitch, so that in a filter device of specific axial length a larger filter surface is available for 20 cleaning tlle medium. As a result of the inclined arrangement of the filter disks 12, 13, for the same diameter, they acquire a somewhat greater width and a smaller deflection of the gas flow occurs during the flow through the same.
The views of the outside of the casing I of the filter devices according to Figs. 3 and 6 show relatively large doors 56, 57 provided laterally on the casing 1, which can be 25 opened for checking the state of the filter surfaces and for the easy replacement of damaged elements of the filter disks 12, 13. A further small door 58 gives access to the electrical elements of the filter device.

For this purpose the outfiow cnamber 5 is mounled in rotary manner a[ ilS two ends 20 by means of bearings 18, 19 and is connected to a drive, which e.g. comprises an electric motor 20 and a V-belt drive transmission 21. The bearings 18, 19 are secured to the frame 29 fixed in the casing. The shaft 30 of the outflow chamber 5 is fixed on the inflow side to the chamber wall 4 and on the outflow side to spokes 35 of the outflow chamber S.
25 The sealing between the rotary outflow chamber 5 and an outflow-side endplate 23 fixed to the casing I is provided by a seal ar~angement 24 in accordance with Fig. I l.
This arrangement has a sealing rib 25 surrounding the outflow chamber S and which rotates therewith and which is surrounded on either side by in each case one sealing ring 26, 27 fixed to the end plate 23. The differential pressure of the medium to be 30 filtered present between the inflow side and outflow side of the filter device presses the axially displaceably mounted outflow chamber S with its sealing rib 25 against the outflow-side sealing ring 27.
The filter disks 12, 13 made from textile filter mats are assembled from several disk elements cut out in ring sector-like manner and are detachably fixed to a wheel-like 35 support frame 31 for forming the filter chambers 6 to 9. On either side of a filter :

chamber 6 to 9 are e.g. provided four disk elements, so that each extends over an arc angle of 90. Their fixing to the support frarne 21 can e.g. take place by means of Velcro strip fasteners 22, which are provided in strip-like manner on an outwardly inclined surface of the hub or rim-like frame elements 32, 33.
The filter device of the embodiment of Figs. 4 to 6 differs from that according to Figs. I to 3 in that there is only one filtér chamber 34, which helically surrounds an outflow chamber 5, whose axial length is the same as that in the previously described embodiment. Openings 11' arranged in a helical row constitute the flow connection from the filter chamber 34 into the outflow chamber 5'. This filter device only requires one pair of suction nozzles 14', 15', which enclose between them the thread pitch of the filter chamber 34 in accordance with Fig. 7.
In order that the helical filter chamber 34 can move between the two suction nozzles 14, 15 during the rotation of the outflow chamber 5', said nozzles are fixed to a common nozzle carrier 37, which is displaceably guided on a guide rod 38 by means of a travelling carriage 37 (Figs. 9 and 10). The guidance on the helical filterchamber 34 takes place by means of two rollers 40, 41 mounted on the nozzle carrier 36 and which enclose between them with an adequate spacing a guide rib 42, so as to be able to take account of divergences in the shape of the guide rib 42 from a geo-metrically precise helix.
For cleaning the filter disks 12, 13 the otherwise stationary filter chamber 34 is rotated in a direction by the belt drive 20, 21 until the travelling carriage 37 carried along by the guide rib 42 strikes against a limit switch 39 positioned in the vicinity of the guide rod 38. This limit switch 39 brings about a reversal of the rotation direction of the belt drive 20, 21, as well as the reversal of a check valve 45 operated by a sliding drive 44. Said valve only frees the suction line 46, 47 of one of the suction nozzles 14, 15 arranged on either side of the filter chamber 34 and against which engages one of the filter disks 12, 13 as a result of the rotary and conveying move-ment of the helix thereof. Since, as a function of the rotary movement, only onesuction nozzle 14, 15 of the nozzle pair is active, there is an intense cleaning action on the flexible, textile filter material. Thus, as a result of the suction flow, the filter material bends out slightly between the radially directed boundary lips 48, 49 of the particular suction nozzles 14, 15 the detachment of impurities from the filter disk is facilitated by a vibrating motor 50 fixed to the suction nozzles 14, 15, so that the .~,, , , , . , ....................... , . ,~ . , .
, ,;.,. , :: . ,,, , ~ ~ :
~"~
- 5 - - ~
boundary lips 48, 49 of the suction nozzles 14, 15 have a vibrating action on the filter material .
The suction lines 46, 47 of the suction nozzles 14, 15 are connected, behind the check valve 45, to an outwardly leading collecting line 52 or 53, to whose end can be 5 coupled a commercial vacuum cleaner 54. As the cleaning of the filter disks is only necessary after given time intervals, the vacuum cleaner can be uncoupled from the filter device during the intervening periods. During the latter when the filter device is operating normally, both suction lines 46, 47 are closed by the check valve 45.
For disinfecting the filter material after sucking off the impurities, on the unit carrying 10 the suction nozzles 14, 15 and the vibrating motor 50 there is a spray nozzle 51, which extends in slot-like manner over the radial width of the filter disks 12, 13.
The cross-sectional shape of the filter chamber 34 and the suc~ion nozzles 14, 15, located thereon, of the previously described embodiment of the filter device can ~e similarly constructed in the first embodiment with several axially succeeding filter 15 chambers 6 to 9. The radially outwardly tapering cross-sectional shape of the filter chambers 6 to 9 or 34 has several advantages. Despite the engagement of the suction nozzles 14, 15, it makes it possible to axially juxtapose with a limited spacing several filter chambers 6 to 9 or to shape the helical filter chamber 34 with a limi~ed pitch, so that in a filter device of specific axial length a larger filter surface is available for 20 cleaning tlle medium. As a result of the inclined arrangement of the filter disks 12, 13, for the same diameter, they acquire a somewhat greater width and a smaller deflection of the gas flow occurs during the flow through the same.
The views of the outside of the casing I of the filter devices according to Figs. 3 and 6 show relatively large doors 56, 57 provided laterally on the casing 1, which can be 25 opened for checking the state of the filter surfaces and for the easy replacement of damaged elements of the filter disks 12, 13. A further small door 58 gives access to the electrical elements of the filter device.
