A dirt collector that includes a housing and an air-permeable filter media extending from the housing such that the filter media and housing at least partially define a collection volume. The housing has an inlet opening in fluid communication with the volume and at least a portion of the housing is transmissive of infrared radiation

A system for preventing debris buildup in vacuum sensor lines includes: a manifold, including a positive air pressure source and a controller; and one or more positive air pressure lines. Each positive air pressure line is in fluid communication with the manifold and can be placed in fluid communication with a vacuum sensor line. The controller is operably connected to and selectively activates the positive air pressure source to emit a positive flow of air, which can be directed into the one or more positive air pressure lines, and then into and through the associated vacuum sensor lines to evacuate debris. In some embodiments, a positive flow of air can also be directed through one or more vacuum lines of the end effector to promote the release of a parcel engaged with the end effector and/or clear the vacuum lines of debris.

An air filtration device (1) of an air suction system of a vehicle engine includes a suction manifold (2) extending in length along a main axis (X-X). The air filtration device (1) further includes at least two tubular filters (3), a first tubular filter (31) and a second tubular filter (32) arranged in series along said main axis (X-X) inside the suction manifold (2). The air filtration device (1) further includes a support (4) supporting the tubular filters (3) in the suction manifold (2). The support (4) includes at least one connection element (45) which mechanically supports two consecutive tubular filters, connecting the filters fluidically. Furthermore, the support (4) includes a partialization device (41) to create an obstruction to the flow of clean air flowing inside the first inner cavity (31) to favor flow of air through the second tubular filter (32).

A filter assembly including a housing (15) and a filter cartridge (10). The housing has a housing inlet (16) and a housing outlet (17). The filter cartridge (10) has a filter inlet (11) fluidly connected to the housing inlet (16) and a filter element (12) between a top cap (18) and a bottom cap (19). The top cap (18) and the bottom cap (19) create a circular guiding system. The bottom cap (19) has a first part (19a) that receives the filter element (12) and a second part (19b) that is connected with a mating surface (20) of the housing. The second part has a first circular section (21a) and a second section (21b) and the first section has another shape than the second section (21b), such that the bottom cap (19) cannot rotate in relation to the mating surface.

An air purifier is provided. The air purifier according to an exemplary embodiment includes a body including an air inlet and an air outlet, an air blowing unit disposed in an inside of the body, the air blowing unit being configured to forcibly introduce outside air into the inside of the body through the air inlet and discharge air into the air outlet, a filter unit rotatably disposed between the air blowing unit and the air inlet, a driving motor configured to rotate the filter unit, and a cleaning member detachably connected to a vacuum cleaner and disposed in proximity to the filter unit to guide contaminants adhering to the filter unit to be flown into the vacuum cleaner.

A powder collector including a box including a first opening configured to pass powder therethrough, a bottom portion disposed so as to oppose the first opening, and a side portion that intersects the first opening and the bottom portion, the box being configured to install a bag provided so as to be in communication with the first opening, a second opening provided in the box, the second opening being configured to suction a gas inside the box, a plurality of frames disposed in at least either one of the bottom portion and the side portion, and a flow portion configured to flow the gas therethrough. In the powder collector, the flow portion is a gap formed between a frame among the plurality of frames and another frame among the plurality of frames.

A vacuum cleaner that includes a suction source configured to generate a suction airflow, a dirt collector in fluid communication with the suction source and configured to separate debris from the suction airflow and the dirt collector is configured to store the debris separated from the suction airflow. The vacuum further includes an infrared sensor operable to output a signal corresponding to a distance to an amount of debris stored in the dirt collector, a controller that receives the signal, and the controller is operable to determine a fill level stored in the dirt collector based on the signal. A visual display displays the fill level stored in the dirt collector.

1. Filter device for the filtration of gases contaminated with particles.

2. A filter device for the filtration of gases contaminated with particles, such as welding gases, which are in particular produced in manufacturing processes using 3D printers in a production room (52), having a filter circuit having at least one filter element (55, 56), which filters the particles from the gas, wherein at least a part of said particles get from this filter element (55, 56) into an assignable receptacle (59), is characterized in that the particles within a back-flushing process get into the respective receptacle (59), and in that at least one further filter circuit, having at least one further filter element (NF1, NF2), is present, which filters a fluid, which has the particles obtained at the back-flushing process.

A negative pressure-side flow path having a negative pressure-side filter and a positive pressure-side flow path having a positive pressure-side filter are connected in parallel between a first port and a second port, and a shuttle valve is installed between the negative pressure-side flow path and the positive pressure-side flow path, and the first port, thus when a negative pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the negative pressure-side flow path, and when a positive pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the positive pressure-side flow path.
