DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODCING A PULSED JET OF A LIQUID FLUID
To create a device for producing a pulsed jet of a liquid fluid, comprising a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a blocking element which is arranged between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet and which cyclically closes and opens a fluid passage between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, which device enables an improved mechanical action on an object which is acted on with the pulsed jet, it is proposed that the device comprises at least one bypass through which a liquid fluid can be supplied to the fluid outlet even during a closed phase of the blocking element.
In order to provide a cleaning device (100) comprising a cleaning chamber (104) for holding a work piece (114) to be cleaned, a fluid transfer apparatus for transferring at least one fluid to the cleaning chamber and/or from the cleaning chamber, wherein the fluid transfer apparatus comprises at least one nozzle in the form of a slit nozzle (116) extending along a slit axis (118), said nozzle providing for the introduction of the at least one fluid to the cleaning chamber or the removal thereof from the cleaning chamber perpendicular to the slit axis, said cleaning device providing an especially good cleaning effect, it is proposed that the cleaning device comprise a slit nozzle movement apparatus (144) for moving at least a part of the slit nozzle.
In order to provide a device for deburring and/or cleaning a workpiece dipped in a fluid medium, comprising a fluid discharge device for producing a high-pressure fluid stream, said deburring and/or cleaning device being particularly efficient, it is proposed that the device comprise a gas discharge device for producing a gas stream that envelopes the fluid stream at least in sections.

METHOD FOR SUPPLYING A CLEANING MEDIUM, AND METHOD AND CLEANING DEVICE FOR CLEANING A WORKPIECE
In order to increase the efficiency of a method for supplying a cleaning medium, a cleaning gas, particularly air, is introduced into a reservoir (6), and a pressurized cleaning liquid (38) is introduced into the reservoir (6) to pressurize the cleaning gas that is subject to an initial pressure. Also disclosed are a method for cleaning a workpiece as well as a cleaning device.
The invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a workpiece (104), comprising a suction device (100) for removing dirt from the interior of the workpiece by suction. The aim of the invention is to considerably improve the suction force of said suction device. For this purpose, the suction device comprises at least one vacuum container (106), at least one evacuation device (128) for evacuating the vacuum container, at least one ventilation line (108) for connecting the vacuum container to the workpiece and at least one blocking device (110) for blocking the connection between the vacuum container and the workpiece.
The invention relates to a cleaning device (100) which comprises a flood chamber (118) receiving a workpiece (194) to be cleaned and a flooding device for flooding the flood chamber with a liquid cleaning agent. The aim of the invention is to simplify the design of such a cleaning device and to create a flood chamber that can be rapidly filled and evacuated. For this purpose, the flood chamber can be connected to a cleaning agent reservoir (104) and the flooding device comprises a blower (142) for reducing the pressure inside the flood chamber so that the cleaning agent, due to the reduced pressure in the flood chamber, is taken in from the cleaning agent reservoir.
B08B 3/10 - Cleaning involving contact with liquid with additional treatment of the liquid or of the object being cleaned, e.g. by heat, by electricity or by vibration
B08B 3/04 - Cleaning involving contact with liquid
The invention relates to a filter candle for a backwash filter for filtering a fluid, said filter candle comprising a filter candle interior which is surrounded by a filter medium. The aim of the invention is to create a filter candle the filter medium of which can be cleaned in the backwash phase in a particularly effective and even manner. For this purpose, the filter candle comprises a backwash flow baffle element which can be displaced in a longitudinal direction of the filter candle by the backwash flow caused when the filter candle is backwashed and effects a local increase of the baffle pressure of the backwash flow. The backwash flow baffle element does not rest on the filter medium when the filter candle is backwashed.
The invention relates to a device for processing backwashed fluid from a backwash filter, said fluid containing solids. The aim of the invention is to improve said device which comprises a sedimentation device for removing solids from the backwashed fluid by sedimentation in a sediment collection area (178) in such a manner as to allow the removal of solids without the help of filter aids and with as little loss of liquid as possible. For this purpose, the sedimentation device comprises a sluice element (172) via which the sediment collection area (178) can be connected to a sedimentation container (140) during a sedimentation phase and via which it can be disconnected from the sedimentation container (140) and evacuated during a removal phase.
The invention relates to a filter device for filtering a solids-containing fluid medium, said device comprising a backwash filter (108) and a flushing conduit (136) through which fluid backwashed during a backwash phase from the backwash filter can be supplied to an additional processing device. The aim of the invention is to simplify the removal of dirt from the backwash filter. For this purpose, the backwash filter comprises a coarse dirt exit connected to the flushing conduit so that coarse dirt reaching the flushing conduit through the rough dirt exit can be supplied to the additional processing device together with the backwashed fluid during the backwash phase.
