DUAL-CHAMBER DUAL-ACTION AIR PUMP AND GLASS-WIPING ROBOT HAVING THE AIR PUMP

Номер: US20160069340A1
Автор: FENG Yongbing
Принадлежит:

A dual-chamber dual-action air pump and a glass-wiping robot having the air pump. The air pump comprises a cylinder and, connected to the cylinder, a drive apparatus and a piston. The drive apparatus drives the piston via a transmission apparatus to perform reciprocating movement in the cylinder. A sealing element fixedly connected to the piston rod is arranged within the cylinder. The sealing element partitions the cylinder into a first chamber (A) and a second chamber (A). Both the first chamber and the second chamber respectively are provided with a first one-way valve and a second one-way valve. When the piston rod drives the sealing element to perform reciprocating movement, the first chamber and the second chamber simultaneously inhale air and exhaust air. The dual-chamber dual-action air pump is compact in structure, and provides doubled air flow rate and doubled efficiency. The glass-wiping robot having the air pump provides a suction cup with a vacuum suction force via the air pump, and allows for great air evacuation to be ensured for the suction cups even if the suction cup comes in contact with a crack or bump on a glass surface, thus reducing the risks of the damage of the glass-wiping robot due to falling, and eliminating possible security hazards. 1121212.

High flow low pressure suction device

Номер: US20190093670A1
Автор: Ujjawal AGGARWAL
Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention discloses a high flow low pressure suction device. The device is a non-contact suction device based on multiple stage turbulence based low pressure suction mechanism which comprises fan(s) or rotating impeller(s) for drawing air/fluid/slurries operates without any seal between the device and the sucked surface. The device compounds this turbulence based low pressure generation along with Bernoulli's principle to yield a high efficiency suction device. The device implements the above concept by making the air/fluid/slurries flow through two or three zones selected from the acceleration zone(s), turbulence zone(s) (high turbulence zone) and smooth zone(s) (minimum turbulence zone). The device works by pulling the air/fluid/slurries into the vacuum chamber, accelerating the air/fluid/slurries, creating turbulence in the air/fluid/slurries in a thin region near the perimeter in order to cause a drop in pressure and then maintaining pressure over a large bottom area and finally exhausting the air/fluid/slurries through the fan(s)/rotating impeller(s).

Interlinking sheath for interchangeable cleaning items and method

Номер: US20210235958A1
Автор: Richard Evans
Принадлежит: Individual

An interlinking sheath removably and intimately mounts upon the head of hand manipulable tool. The sheath can be made from pliable, durable sheet material such as woven nylon fabric. The sheath includes an outer surface having a hook-type hook-and-vane fabric fastener. A number of accessories such as squeegees, scrapers, brushes, bronze wool, and fabric touch-up rags can be interchangeably mounted to the sheath. The sheath can have a substantially hollow cylindrical shape having closed ends and an oblong opening extending along one side. An undulating rim around the opening forms flaps which can fasten across the opening allowing the sheath to be intimately and securely mounted to a rigid cylindrical head on the tool.
