Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger mit einem Gerätegehäuse und einer Steckdose für eine Elektrobürste oder dergl., wobei das Gerätegehäuse in einen deckelverschlossenen vorderen Staubsammelraum und in einen abgedeckten hinteren Gehäuseraum zur Aufnahme eines Sauggebläses ggf. mit Drehzahlregelelektronik, einer Kabeltrommel für die Stromversorgung des Gebläsemotors sowie der elektrischen Anschlüsse für die Steckdose versehen ist.The object of the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a device housing and a socket for an electric brush or the like., The device housing in a cover closed front dust collection and in a covered rear housing space for receiving a suction fan, if necessary with speed control electronics, a cable drum for the power supply of the fan motor and the electrical connections for the socket is provided.

Bei handelsüblichen Staubsaugern ist es bekannt, die Steckdose zum Anschluß einer Elektrobürste oder einer Handgriffsteuerung entweder am vorderen Gerätegehäuse im Bereich des Tragegriffs des Staubsaugers oder mit dem Sauganschlußstutzen kombiniert im oberen vorderen Gehäuseteil zu installieren. Dabei stellt die Leitungsführung zur Steckdose hin jedoch ein Problem dar, weil die Stromversorgung für die Steckdose regelmäßig im unteren hinteren Gehäuseteil angeordnet ist, in welchem auch das Sauggebläse, die Kabeltrommel und die Drehzahlregelelektronik des Gebläses untergebracht ist. Diese Anordnung bedingt, daß die elektrischen Leitungen aus dem hinteren Gehäuseteil nach oben aus dem Gerätegehäuse herausgeführt und zum Teil lose neben der Staubraum-Deckelscharnierung zwischen den Gehäuseober- und Gehäuseunterteilen offen bis zur Steckdose an der Stirnseite des Staubsaugers verlegt werden müssen. Hierdurch kann die Isolation der Verbindung Schaden nehmen.In commercial vacuum cleaners, it is known to install the socket for connecting an electric brush or a handle control either on the front housing in the field of handle of the vacuum cleaner or combined with the Sauganschlußstutzen in the upper front housing part. However, the wiring to the outlet is a problem because the power supply for the socket is regularly arranged in the lower rear housing part, in which the suction fan, the cable drum and the speed control electronics of the fan is housed. This arrangement requires that the electrical cables led out of the rear housing part up out of the device housing and partially loose next to the dust chamber lid hinge between the housing upper and lower housing parts must be installed open to the socket on the front side of the vacuum cleaner. This can damage the isolation of the connection.

Beim bekannten Technikstand liegt die separate Steckdose für die Elektrobürste im Bereich des Tragegriffs des Gerätes, also entfernt vom Staubraumdeckel mit dem dort installierten Anschlußstutzen für den Saugschlauch. Bei angeschlossenem Saugschlauch ist das mitgeführte Kabel der Elektrobürste separat in diese entfernt liegende Steckdose einzustecken. Diese Verbindung muß jedoch bei jedem Staubbeutelwechsel vor dem Abschwenken des Staubraumdeckels aufgrund der begrenzten Kabelanschlußlänge des Elektrobürstenkabels wieder gelöst werden, da sonst der Deckel nicht hochgeklappt werden kann. Diese Vorgehensweise wird als nachteilig empfunden.In the known technology, the separate outlet for the electric brush in the region of the handle of the device, so removed from the dust chamber cover with the installed there connecting piece for the suction hose. When the suction hose is connected, the entrained cable of the electric brush must be plugged separately into this remote socket. However, this connection must be solved with each Staubbeutelwechsel before swiveling the dust chamber lid due to the limited cable connection length of the electric brush cable again, otherwise the lid can not be folded up. This procedure is perceived as disadvantageous.

Aus der EP 0 405 888 A2 ist es deshalb bekannt, das Anschlusskabel durch den Scharnierbereich des Deckels zu führen. Hierdurch kann es zum Einklemmen und Abknicken des Kabels kommen. Auch hier soll die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.From EP 0 405 888 A2 it is therefore known to guide the connecting cable through the hinge region of the lid. This can lead to pinching and kinking of the cable. Again, the invention is intended to remedy this.

Die Erfindung löst diese Probleme durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.The invention solves these problems by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following dependent claims.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile sind insbesondere darin zu sehen, daß im Scharnierbereich des Staubraumdeckels keine Kabel oder Kabelbündel mehr lose verlegt sind, und es deshalb auch nicht zu Beschädigungen der Kabelisolation oder zu Leitungsbrüchen beim Schwenken oder Überreißen des Staubraumdeckels kommen kann, durch welche der Saugbetrieb gestört oder gar eine Gefährdung des Gerätebedieners entstehen könnte. Die Anordnung der Steckdose gemeinsam mit dem Sauganschlußstutzen im abschwenkbaren Staubraumdeckel bringt den Vorteil, daß bei einem Staubbeutelwechsel das Verbindungskabel zur Elektrobürste in der Gerätesteckdose verbleiben kann. Mit dem Öffnen des Deckels wird der Stromkreis zur Steckdose automatisch unterbrochen und die Elektrobürste abgeschaltet. Auch gewährleistet das Trennen der Stromversorgung eine zusätzliche Sicherheit für den Gerätebediener. Femer ist durch die Anordnung der Steckdose im Deckel die Leitungsverlegung erleichtert. Durch die gegebene Nähe der Steckdose zum Saugschlauch-Anschlußstutzen ergibt sich konstruktiv gesehen ferner die einfache Möglichkeit, im Bedarfsfall oder bei Änderung einer Staubsaugerbaureihe auch den Sauganschlußstutzen von der Steckdose aus zu verdrahten, wenn eine elektrische Sauganschlußstutzen-Kupplung verlangt wird. Durch die Kombination des erfindungsgemäßen Leitungsverbinders mit dem Deckelschamier ist eine geschützte, verdeckte Kabelführung bzw. Leitungsverlegung einfach möglich.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular to be seen in the fact that in the hinge region of the dust chamber lid no cable or cable bundles are more loosely laid, and it Therefore, not to damage the cable insulation or lead to breakages when swiveling or tearing the dust chamber cover may come through which the suction operation disturbed or even a threat to the device operator could arise. The arrangement of the socket together with the Sauganschlußstutzen in abschwenkbaren dust chamber cover has the advantage that in a Staubbeutelwechsel the connection cable to the electric brush can remain in the device socket. When you open the lid, the circuit to the socket is automatically interrupted and the electric brush is switched off. The disconnection of the power supply also ensures additional safety for the device operator. Furthermore, the cable routing is facilitated by the arrangement of the socket in the lid. Due to the given proximity of the socket to Saugschlauch connecting piece constructively seen also results in the simple way to wire in case of need or when changing a vacuum cleaner and the Sauganschlußstutzen from the socket when an electrical Sauganschlußstutzen coupling is required. The combination of the cable connector according to the invention with the lid hinge a protected, concealed cable management or wiring is easily possible.

Die Deckelschamiere (7) sind jeweils aus einem annähernd vertikal bewegbaren in die Gehäuseseitenwand (9) eintauchenden und dort geführten Scharnierhebel (10) ausgebildet welcher am Staubraumdeckel (8) angelenkt ist. Der zum rückwärtigen Gehäuseteil (11) mit den Trittschaltern und dergl. des Staubsaugers (1) hin hochschwenkbare Staubraumdeckel (8) überdeckt einen Staubsammelraum (12) mit dem dort untergebrachten Staubfilterbeutel (13), das Abluftfilter (6) sowie ein in der Trennwand zum Gebläseraum (14) wechselbar angeordnetes Motorschutzfilter (15). Im Deckelinnenraum des Staubraumdeckels (8) ist ein Zubehörfach (16) für Saugzubehör, wie Polsterdüsen (17) usw. eingerichtet, welches seinerseits über eine oberseitig im Staubraumdeckel (8) formschlüssig integriertes weiteres Deckelteil (18) zugänglich ist. Der Staubsammelraum (12) ist gegenüber dem Raum für das Abluftfilter (6) in an sich bekannter Weise separat vom Staubraumdeckel (8) abgedichtet. Ober nicht näher gezeigte Rasten ist der Staubraumdeckel (8) in aufgeschwenkter Stellung arretierbar, so daß der Staubfilterbeutel (13) ausgewechselt werden kann.The vacuum cleaner (1) shown in Figure 1, in particular a with a suction hose (2), telescopic tube (3) and floor nozzle (4) equipped vacuum cleaner, has a device housing (5) with two laterally on the housing in the amount of a replaceable exhaust air or hygiene filter (6) arranged lid hinge (7), in which a dust chamber lid (8) is hinged down. The lid hinge (7) are each formed from an approximately vertically movable in the housing side wall (9) dipping and guided there hinge lever (10) which is articulated on the dust chamber cover (8). The up to the rear housing part (11) with the treadles and the like. The vacuum cleaner (1) swinging up dust chamber cover (8) covers a dust collection chamber (12) accommodated there dust filter bag (13), the exhaust filter (6) and a in the partition to Blower chamber (14) Changeable motor protection filter (15). In the lid interior of the dust chamber cover (8) an accessory compartment (16) for suction accessories, such as upholstery nozzles (17), etc., which in turn is accessible via a top side in the dust chamber cover (8) integrally integrated further cover part (18). The dust collection chamber (12) is sealed off from the space for the exhaust air filter (6) in a manner known per se separately from the dust chamber cover (8). Upper not shown detents is the dust chamber cover (8) locked in the pivoted position, so that the dust filter bag (13) can be replaced.

Der an den Staubsammelraum (12) angrenzende hintere Gehäuseteil (11) des Gerätegehäuses (5) weist einen Gehäuseraum (19) auf, in welchem das Sauggebläse - ggf. mit Drehzahlregelelektronik -, eine Kabeltrommel für die elektrische Versorgung des Gebläsemotors (nicht dargestellt) sowie ein Stromversorgungsteil (20) auf einer elektrischen Leiterkarte oder dergl. untergebracht sind. Von dem Stromversorgungsteil (20) aus wird eine vom im Staubraumdeckel (8) installierte Steckdose (21) für eine Elektrobürste (Steckdose 21 in Fig. 1 unbelegt), eine Handgriffsteuerung am Saugschlauch (2) oder dergl. mit Spannung versorgt. In der Nähe der Steckdose (21) trägt der Staubraumdeckel (8) ferner einen Sauganschlußstutzen (22) für den Saugschlauch (2). Der Saugschlauch (2) ist in an sich bekannter Weise über das Teleskoprohr (3) mit der Bodendüse (4) verbunden. Ist eine Bodendüse (4) mit elektrisch angetriebener Bürstenwalze (Elektrobürste) am Gerät anschließbar, so ist wie bekannt die Stromversorgung des Bürstenmotors am Saugschlauch (2) und Teleskoprohr (3) als Kabel (26) mitgeführt. Der Sauganschlußstutzen (22) taucht in den Staubfilterbeutel (13) abgedichtet ein und ist ggf. nur beim Staubbeutelwechsel zu ziehen. Dabei kann jedoch der Anschlußstecker (27) für die Stromversorgung der Elektrobürste in der Steckdose (21) verbleiben (Fig. 2).The adjacent to the dust collection chamber (12) rear housing part (11) of the device housing (5) has a housing space (19), in which the suction fan - possibly with speed control electronics - a cable drum for the electrical supply of the fan motor (not shown) and a power supply part (20) are accommodated on an electrical circuit board or the like. From the power supply part (20) from one in the dust chamber cover (8) installed socket (21) for an electric brush (socket 21 in Fig. 1 unoccupied), a handle control on the suction hose (2) or the like supplied with voltage. In the vicinity of the socket (21) carries the dust chamber cover (8) also has a suction connection piece (22) for the suction hose (2). The suction hose (2) is connected in a conventional manner via the telescopic tube (3) with the floor nozzle (4). If a floor nozzle (4) with electrically driven brush roller (electric brush) can be connected to the device, as is known, the power supply of the brush motor on the suction hose (2) and telescopic tube (3) as a cable (26) entrained. The suction connection (22) dips into the dust filter bag (13) sealed and is possibly only to pull the dust bag change. In this case, however, the connector (27) for the power supply of the electric brush in the socket (21) remain (Fig. 2).

Die elektrische Versorgung der Steckdose (21) erfolgt gemäß Fig. 2 vom hinteren Gehäuseraum (19) des Staubsaugers (1) aus. Um die Leitungsführung durch die Gehäuseteile des Staubsaugers (1) geschützt und ohne Isolationsprobleme beim Schwenken und evtl. Überrei-ßen des Staubraumdeckels (8) vom hinteren, unteren Gehäuseteil (11) zum vorderen und obenliegenden Staubraumdeckel (8) zu realisieren, sind die elektrischen Leitungen (28) zur Steckdose (21) erfindungsgemäß verdeckt im Deckelschamier (7) geführt. Dabei ist der Scharnierhebel (10) des Deckelscharniers (7) mit einem Leitungssteckverbinder (29) kombiniert, welcher aus einem Steckerteil (29a) und einem von diesem trennbaren Kupplungsteil (29b) besteht.The electrical supply of the socket (21) takes place in accordance with FIG. 2 from the rear housing space (19) of the vacuum cleaner (1). In order to realize the wiring through the housing parts of the vacuum cleaner (1) and without isolation problems when pivoting and possibly over-Shen the dust chamber cover (8) from the rear lower housing part (11) to the front and overhead dust chamber cover (8) to realize the electrical Lines (28) to the socket (21) hidden according to the invention in the lid hinge (7) out. Here, the hinge lever (10) of the lid hinge (7) with a line connector (29) is combined, which consists of a plug part (29a) and a separable coupling part of this (29b).

Das Steckerteil (29a) des Steckverbinders (29) ist vorzugsweise am verschiebbaren Scharnierhebel (10) ausgebildet, wie auch in Fig. 3 vereinfacht gezeigt ist. Dabei ist das zugeordnete Kupplungsteil (29b) lagefest am Gerätegehäuse (5) - oder umgekehrt - in der Gehäuseseitenwand (9) angeordnet. Vorteilhaft ist das Steckerteil (29a) einstückig mit dem Scharnierhebel (10) ausgebildet und das Kupplungsteil (29b) im Gerätegehäuseunterteil bzw. deren Seitenwand (9) eingeformt. Bei geschlossenem Staubraumdeckel (8) ist die elektrische Verbindung hergestellt, die aber beim Deckelöffnen zur Sicherheit automatisch unterbrochen wird und somit die Elektrobürste und ggf. auch den Staubsauger (1) ausschaltet. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß das Steckerteil (29a) am beweglichen Scharnierhebel (10) beim Aufschwenken des Staubraumdeckels (8) aus dem Kupplungsteil (29b) herausgezogen wird. Zur Steckdose (21) hin sind die elektrischen Leitungen (28) verdeckt im Staubraumdeckel (8) ver legt. Dafür sind entsprechend ausgeformte Leitungskanäle (30) vorgesehen. Das im Deckel geführte Leitungsbündel ist über einen oben in das Steckerteil (29a) des Schamierhebels (10) eingesteckten Leitungsverbinder (31) mit der Stromversorgung (20) verbunden.The plug part (29a) of the connector (29) is preferably formed on the displaceable hinge lever (10), as shown in simplified form in Fig. 3. In this case, the associated coupling part (29b) is fixed on the device housing (5) - or vice versa - in the Housing side wall (9) arranged. The plug part (29a) is advantageously formed in one piece with the hinge lever (10) and the coupling part (29b) is molded in the device housing lower part or its side wall (9). When the dust chamber cover (8) is closed, the electrical connection is established, but it is automatically interrupted when the lid is opened, thus switching off the electric brush and possibly also the vacuum cleaner (1). This happens because the plug part (29a) on the movable hinge lever (10) when pulling the dust chamber cover (8) out of the coupling part (29b) is pulled out. To the socket (21) out the electrical lines (28) are hidden in the dust chamber cover (8) ver sets. For appropriately shaped ducts (30) are provided. The cable bundle guided in the cover is connected to the power supply (20) via a line connector (31) which is inserted into the plug part (29a) of the hinge lever (10) at the top.

Vorteilhaft ist der Schamierbereich des Staubraumdeckels (8) frei von lose verlegten Kabeln oder Leitungsbündeln. Die Leitungen liegen im kritischen Schwenkbereich des Deckels geschützt und abgedeckt, so daß Leitungsbrüche oder ein Abrieb der Leitungsisolation durch das wiederholte Schwenken des Staubraumdeckels (8) bzw. beim Überreißen des Deckels (8) nicht auftreten können. Die Anordnung der Gerätesteckdose zusammen mit dem Sauganschlußstutzens im Staubraumdeckel bringt den Vorteil, daß bei einem Staubbeutetwechsel das Verbindungskabel zur Elektrobürste in der Gerätesteckdose verbleiben kann. Durch die gegebene Nähe der Steckdose zum Saugschlauch-Anschlußstutzen ergibt sich konstruktiv gesehen ferner die einfache Möglichkeit, im Bedarfsfall oder bei Änderung einer Staubsaugerbaureihe eine elektrische Sauganschlußstutzen-Kupplung im Deckel von der Steckdose aus zu verdrahten.Advantageously, the hinge region of the dust chamber cover (8) is free of loosely laid cables or cable bundles. The lines are protected and covered in the critical pivoting range of the lid, so that line breaks or abrasion of the line insulation by the repeated pivoting of the dust chamber cover (8) or when tearing the lid (8) can not occur. The arrangement of the device socket together with the Sauganschlußstutzens in the dust chamber cover has the advantage that when a Staubbeutenwechsel the connection cable to the electric brush can remain in the device socket. Due to the given proximity of the socket to Saugschlauch connecting piece results constructively seen also the easy way to wire in case of need or when changing a vacuum cleaner series an electrical Sauganschlußstutzen coupling in the lid from the socket.
