Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungsgerät, insbesondere eine Kehrmaschine oder eine Teppichkehrmaschine, mit einer Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Staub, Schmutzteilen oder dgl. von einer zu reinigenden Fläche, insbesondere Kehrelementen vorzugsweise in Form von Bürsten, und einer Aufnahmekammer für den aufgenommenen Schmutz.The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular a sweeper or a carpet sweeper, with a device for collecting dust, dirt or the like. Of a surface to be cleaned, in particular Sweeping elements preferably in the form of brushes, and a receiving chamber for the dirt.
Derartige Reinigungsgeräte sind als Teppichkehrgeräte in verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen bekannt.Such cleaning devices are used as carpet sweepers known in various configurations.
Bspw. ist auf das deutsche Gebrauchsmuster DE-U-19 09 382 zu verweisen.E.g. is to refer to the German utility model DE-U-19 09 382.
Derartige Teppichkehrmaschinen sind auch bereits mit einem elektrischen Antrieb bekanntgeworden, wozu bspw. auf die deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE-U-75 34 321 und DE-U-75 36 434 zu verweisen ist.Carpet sweepers of this type are already included an electric drive has become known, for example. to the German utility models DE-U-75 34 321 and DE-U-75 36 434 is to be referred.
Weiter ist im Stand der Technik auch auf die DE-A-29 43 210 und die US-A-5 018 240 zu verweisen.Further in the prior art is also on DE-A-29 43 210 and US-A-5 018 240.
Bei derartigen Teppichkehrmaschinen ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, den aufgesammelten Schmutz in einer gesonderten Aufnahme aufzusammeln. Zur Entleerung der Aufnahme kann diese insgesamt aus dem Gerät herausgenommen werden.In such carpet sweepers, it is also known the collected dirt in a separate holder to collect. This can be used to empty the intake be removed from the device altogether.
Des weiteren sind Staubsaugergeräte bekannt, wozu lediglich beispielhaft auf die DE-A-39 11 580 verwiesen wird. Hierbei wird der aufgesaugte Schmutz in einem Staubbeutel gesammelt, der nach Öffnen des Staubsaugers entnehmbar ist und insgesamt entsorgt werden kann.Furthermore, vacuum cleaner devices are known, for which purpose only referred to, for example, DE-A-39 11 580 becomes. Here, the dirt is sucked in one Dust bag collected after opening the vacuum cleaner is removable and can be disposed of altogether.
Es besteht ein Bedürfnis, ein Reinigungsgerät wie insbesondere eine Teppichkehrmaschine anzugeben, das einerseits nicht so aufwendig und großbauend wie ein Staubsauger ausgebildet ist, andererseits aber möglichst die gleichen hygienischen Vorteile hinsichtlich der Entsorgung des aufgesammelten Schmutzes bietet. Die technische Problemstellung ist demnach dadurch gegeben, ein Reinigungsrät der oben angegebenen Art so weiterzubilden und auszugestalten, daß bei möglichst einfachem Aufbau gleichwohl eine vorteilhafte und insbesondere hygienische Handhabbarkeit gegeben ist.There is a need for a cleaning device such as in particular to specify a carpet sweeper that the one hand not as complex and large as a vacuum cleaner is trained, but on the other hand if possible same hygienic advantages in terms of disposal of the collected dirt. The technical The problem is therefore given by a To further develop the cleaning advice of the type specified above and design that with the simplest possible Structure nevertheless an advantageous and particular one hygienic handling is given.
Diese technische Problemstellung ist
beim Gegenstand des Anspruches 1 gelöst,
wobei darauf abgestellt ist, daß die Reinigungsvorrichtung
Mittel aufweist, mittels derer die Reinigungsvorrichtung
zur Entleerung der Aufnahmekammer mit einer externen Saugvorrichtung
zusammenschaltbar ist.This technical problem is
solved in the subject of
Die Saugvorrichtung kann bspw. ein üblicher Staubsauger sein. Hierdurch ist ein Reinigungsgerät geschaffen, dessen Aufnahme gleichsam ein Zwischenlager für den aufgesammelten Schmutz darstellt. Die Aufnahme selbst ist bevorzugt nicht öffenbar oder aus dem Gerät entnehmbar. Die Entleerung kann nur durch Anschluß eines Sauggerätes, also insbesondere des üblichen Staubsaugers, erfolgen. In vorteilhafter Weise kann dieses Reinigungsgerät über einen längeren Zeitraum und mehrere Reinigungsvorgänge benutzt werden, ohne daß es erforderlich ist, das Sauggerät anzuschließen. Wird das Sauggerät ohnehin benutzt, kann gleichzeitig auch eine Entleerung des Reinigungsgerätes hiermit vorgenommen werden. Auch der Schmutz, der durch das Reinigungsgerät aufgesammelt worden ist, wird in üblicher Weise in den Staubbeutel eines Staubsaugers befördert und kann dann insgesamt mit dem Staubbeutel in üblicher Weise entsorgt werden. Eine aufwendige Vorrichtung zur Anbringung eines eigenen Staubbeutels oder dgl. an dem in Rede stehenden Reinigungsgerät selbst ist nicht erforderlich. Hierbei kann das Reinigungsgerät motorbetrieben oder lediglich handbetrieben sein. Der Motorbetrieb kann insbesondere zum Antrieb der Reinigungsbürsten vorgesehen sein. In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Aufnahmekammer einen Saugstutzen aufweist, zum Anschluß der Saugvorrichtung. Der Saugstutzen ist also unmittelbar mit der Aufnahmekammer gekoppelt. Solange die Saugvorrichtung nicht angeschlossen ist, kommt dem Saugstutzen keine Bedeutung zu. Im einzelnen kann die Aufnahmekammer derart gestaltet sein, daß im Anschluß an einen Einlaßtrichter, welcher im Fall von Kehrbürsten in der tangentialen Abwerfrichtung der Kehrbürsten ausgebildet ist, eine trogartige Aufnahmerinne ausgebildet ist. Diese Aufnahmerinne erstreckt sich weiter bevorzugt quer zu einer Richtung, in welcher das Reinigungsgerät zu den Reinigungszwecken üblicherweise zu bewegen ist. Auch ist es vorteilhaft, die Aufnahmerinne im wesentlichen oberhalb des Einlaßtrichters sich erstreckend anzuordnen. Durch den Einlaßtrichter werden die von den Bürsten bspw. abgeworfenen Schmutzteilchen nach oben gelenkt und umgelenkt, so daß sie dann in die Aufnahmerinne fallen. In einem Querschnitt ist die Aufnahmekammer mit einem Schneckengehäuse zu vergleichen. Auch der Einlaßtrichter erstreckt sich zweckmäßigerweise im wesentlichen über die Länge der Aufnahmerinne und gleichzeitig auch über die Länge der bspw. Kehrbürsten. Der Saugstutzen kann vorteilhafterweise in einen Boden der Aufnahmerinne münden.The suction device can For example, be a common vacuum cleaner. This is a Cleaning device created, its inclusion as it were represents an interim storage facility for the collected dirt. The receptacle itself is preferably not openable or removable from the device. The emptying can only by connecting a suction device, in particular the usual vacuum cleaner. In advantageous Way, this cleaning device can have a used for a long period of time and several cleaning processes the suction device without it being necessary to connect. If the suction device is used anyway, can also drain the cleaning device hereby be made. Even the dirt that has been collected by the cleaning device in the usual way in the dust bag of a vacuum cleaner transported and can then all in all with the dust bag be disposed of in the usual way. An expensive one Device for attaching your own dust bag or the like on the cleaning device in question itself is not necessary. Here, the cleaning device motor-operated or only hand-operated be. Engine operation can be used in particular for driving the cleaning brushes may be provided. In another Embodiment of the invention provides that the Receiving chamber has a suction port for connection the suction device. The suction port is therefore immediate coupled to the receiving chamber. As long as the suction device is not connected, comes the suction nozzle no meaning too. In detail, the reception chamber be designed such that following one Inlet funnel, which in the case of sweeping brushes in the tangential direction of ejection of the sweeping brushes is, a trough-like receiving groove is formed. This receiving channel extends further preferably transverse to a direction in which the cleaning device usually move for cleaning purposes is. It is also advantageous to the receiving channel in extending substantially above the inlet funnel to arrange. Through the inlet funnel, the dirt particles thrown off by the brushes steered and deflected above, so that they then into the Receiving gutter fall. In a cross section is the Compare the receiving chamber with a snail shell. The inlet funnel also expediently extends essentially over the length of the receiving channel and at the same time also over the length of the sweeping brushes. The suction nozzle can advantageously in open a floor of the receiving channel.
