- a seal for substantially filling an air gap between the Zentrifugalgebläserad and the inside of the fan housing is arranged to reduce
- a seal according to the invention therefore provides that the seal is designed as a sealing ring and the sealing ring is connected out of the blower housing with a buffer member which sealingly surrounds the inflow opening.
- a sealing ring is thus further arranged in the region of an inlet opening of the fan arrangement, which serves for sealing an air gap between a centrifugal fan wheel and an inner side of a fan housing.
- this sealing ring is now formed extending out of the blower housing and connected to a buffer member which encloses the inflow opening as a bearing element. It is therefore according to the invention only a part available, which is limited to the region of the inlet opening of the fan assembly.
- an outer contour of the buffer part of an inner contour of a sealed housing opening is adapted.
- the buffer part also fulfills the tasks of fixing and sealing the fan assembly in a predetermined opening in addition to the task of a one-sided mounting of the fan assembly.
- the material of the sealing ring is suitably formed in a mounting position on the blower housing for grinding by a centrifugal impeller.
- a centrifugal impeller for details of grinding at this point, reference is made to the disclosure of DE 19717 154.
- the material of the buffer part is elastic. So it is well suited for the above-mentioned tasks of storage, fixation and sealing.
- the buffer member must not be applied in this form as a sealant that cures only on site on the blower housing.
- the buffer part is tapered conically outside the inlet opening.
- the insertion of the fan assembly is facilitated in a recording.
- the sealing ring and the buffer member are formed as a one-piece body and also einstoffig. This significantly reduces manufacturing and assembly costs. Also simplifies installation, as will be described below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the drawings. Accordingly, the one-piece combination of sealing ring and buffer member is hereinafter referred to only as a seal body.
- the material of the sealing body preferably has a hardness of about 40 to about 50 Shore. Furthermore, it has a strength of about 10 to about 20 N / mm 2 and / or an elasticity of about 40 to about 60% and preferably allows an elongation of about 150 to about 300%.
- the material of the sealing body should be selected such that the values mentioned above remain maintained even after aging under the operating conditions in a floor care appliance with continuous vibration load and elevated temperatures.
- the buffer part is provided with at least one recess for setting an elasticity deviating from the sealing ring.
- These recesses are preferably provided in the form of approximately equidistant blind holes in the buffer member.
- a seal according to the invention makes it easier to accommodate a fan assembly even in the cramped environment and the difficult installation conditions in the interior of a floor care appliance.
- a new seal is created between the blower housing or a blower hood and the centrifugal blower wheel with an optimization of the blower power data, in particular by reducing the losses occurring.
- the invention explained below with reference to an embodiment is particularly characterized by the fact that no separate components are required for the inner and outer sealing.
- an individually adjustable compensation in the production of always occurring tolerances between fixed and rotating fan parts is created.
- the storage and simultaneous fixation of a seal according to the invention by the buffer member also achieves a significant noise reduction. In this case, a choice of material in a wide range of parameters is possible, in particular the proposed design measures allow a largely independent adjustment of the spring stiffness of the sealing ring and the buffer member.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Dichtung zum Einsatz in einer Gebläseanordnung, insbesondere zum Einsatz in einer Gebläseanordnung für ein Haushaltgerät sowie eine Gebläseanordnung.The present invention relates to a seal for use in a blower assembly, in particular for use in a blower arrangement for a domestic appliance and a blower arrangement.
Unter den Begriff des Haushaltgerätes fallen u.a. Bodenpflegegeräte und Dunstabzugshauben. In den vorstehend beispielhaft genannten Haushaltgeräten werden Gebläseanordnungen eingesetzt, die über einen weiten Bereich einer jeweiligen Förderleistung einstellbar sind.Under the term of the household appliance, u.a. Floor care appliances and extractor hoods. In the household appliances mentioned above by way of example blower arrangements are used which are adjustable over a wide range of a respective delivery rate.
Aus der DE-21 09 409 A und der DE 197 17 154 sind Gebläseanordnungen mit einem Elektromotor und einem drehfest mit einer Motorabtriebswelle verbundenen Zentrifugalgebläserad bekannt. Bei derartigen Gebläseanordnungen ist das Zentrifugalgebläserad u.a. zur Ausbildung eines gerichteten Luftstroms von einem Gebläsegehäuse umgeben, das sich von einer Einströmöffnung her zu dem motorischen Antrieb kegelstumpfartig weitet. In der Einströmöffnung ist zur Verminderung von Rückströmverlusten und damit verbundener Leistungseinbußen der Gebläseanordnung eine Dichtung zum weitgehenden Ausfüllen eines Luftspaltes zwischen dem Zentrifugalgebläserad und der Innenseite des Gebläsegehäuses angeordnet.From DE-21 09 409 A and DE 197 17 154 blower arrangements with an electric motor and a non-rotatably connected to a motor output shaft centrifugal impeller are known. In such blower arrangements, the centrifugal impeller is u.a. surrounded by a fan housing to form a directed air flow, which widens in a truncated cone from an inflow opening to the motor drive. In the inflow opening a seal for substantially filling an air gap between the Zentrifugalgebläserad and the inside of the fan housing is arranged to reduce Rückströmverlusten and associated power losses of the fan assembly.
Aus einem weiteren Stand der Technik gemäß DE 198 55 905 A1 ist bekannt, im Bereich der Einlassöffnung an der Gehäuseklappe ein Dichtelement vorzusehen, das derart an der radial inneren Umfangskante der Deckscheide anliegt, dass es sich einschleift.From a further prior art according to DE 198 55 905 A1 it is known to provide a sealing element in the region of the inlet opening on the housing flap, which abuts against the radially inner peripheral edge of the covering sheath such that it grinds in.
Bei einem Einbau einer derartigen Gebläseanordnung insbesondere in einem Bodenpflegegerät, wie beispielsweise einem Staubsauger, mit einer hohen Lüftförderleistung und einer möglichst hohen Saugkraft treten dennoch weitere Dichtigkeitsprobleme auf. Diesen Problemen kann derzeit nur durch recht umständliche Befestigungs-, Fixierungs- und Abdichtungsmaßnahmen begegnet werden. Hierzu sind viele-Einzelteile erforderlich, die in einem arbeitszeitaufwendigen Fertigungsprozeß montiert werden müssen.When installing such a blower arrangement, in particular in a floor care appliance, such as a vacuum cleaner, with a high Lüftförderleistung and the highest possible suction force nevertheless occur further leakage problems. At present, these problems can only be counteracted by quite cumbersome fastening, fixing and sealing measures. This requires many items that need to be assembled in a labor-intensive manufacturing process.
Schließlich sei noch auf die EP 1 048 261 A hingewiesen.Finally, attention should be drawn to
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Dichtung der genannten Art unter Verbesserung ihrer Aufnahme und Abdichtung gerade für einen Einsatz in einem Staubsauger weiterzubilden.It is an object of the present invention to develop a seal of the type mentioned while improving their recording and sealing just for use in a vacuum cleaner.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Dichtung mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 und eine dementsprechend ausgerüstete Gebläseanordnung nach Anspruch 14 gelöst.This object is achieved by a seal with the features of
Eine erfindungsgemäße Dichtung sieht demnach vor, daß die Dichtung als Dichtring ausgebildet ist und der Dichtring aus dem Gebläsegehäuse heraus mit einem Pufferteil verbunden ist, das die Einströmöffnung abdichtend umgibt. Damit ist einerseits weiterhin ein Dichtring im Bereich einer Einströmöffnung der Gebläseanordnung angeordnet, der zur Abdichtung eines Luftspaltes zwischen einem Zentrifugalgebläserad und einer Innenseite eines Gebläsegehäuses dient. Dieser Dichtring ist nun jedoch aus dem Gebläsegehäuse heraus erstreckend ausgebildet und mit einem Pufferteil verbunden, das die Einströmöffnung als Lagerelement umschließt. Es ist damit erfindungsgemäß nur noch ein Teil vorhanden, das auf den Bereich der Einströmöffnung der Gebläseanordnung beschränkt ist.A seal according to the invention therefore provides that the seal is designed as a sealing ring and the sealing ring is connected out of the blower housing with a buffer member which sealingly surrounds the inflow opening. On the one hand, a sealing ring is thus further arranged in the region of an inlet opening of the fan arrangement, which serves for sealing an air gap between a centrifugal fan wheel and an inner side of a fan housing. However, this sealing ring is now formed extending out of the blower housing and connected to a buffer member which encloses the inflow opening as a bearing element. It is therefore according to the invention only a part available, which is limited to the region of the inlet opening of the fan assembly.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Außenkontur des Pufferteils einer Innenkontur einer abzudichtenden Gehäuse Öffnung angepaßt. Damit erfüllt das Pufferteil neben der Aufgabe einer einseitigen Lagerung der Gebläseanordnung auch die Aufgaben der Fixierung und der Abdichtung der Gebläseanordnung in einer vorgegebenen Öffnung.In one embodiment of the invention, an outer contour of the buffer part of an inner contour of a sealed housing opening is adapted. Thus, the buffer part also fulfills the tasks of fixing and sealing the fan assembly in a predetermined opening in addition to the task of a one-sided mounting of the fan assembly.
Das Material des Dichtrings ist in einer Einbaulage an dem Gebläsegehäuse zum Einschleifen durch ein Zentrifugalgebläserad geeignet ausgebildet. Auf Einzelheiten des Einschleifens wird an dieser Stelle auf die Offenbarung der DE 19717 154 verwiesen.The material of the sealing ring is suitably formed in a mounting position on the blower housing for grinding by a centrifugal impeller. For details of grinding at this point, reference is made to the disclosure of DE 19717 154.
Das Material des Pufferteils ist elastisch. So ist es für die vorstehend genannten Aufgaben der Lagerung, Fixierung und Abdichtung gut geeignet. Insbesondere muß der Pufferteil in dieser Form nicht als Dichtungsmasse aufgetragen werden, die erst vor Ort an dem Gebläsegehäuse aushärtet.The material of the buffer part is elastic. So it is well suited for the above-mentioned tasks of storage, fixation and sealing. In particular, the buffer member must not be applied in this form as a sealant that cures only on site on the blower housing.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Pufferteil außerhalb der Einströmöffnung konisch verjüngt ausgebildet. So ist das Einführen der Gebläseanordnung in eine Aufnahme erleichtert.Advantageously, the buffer part is tapered conically outside the inlet opening. Thus, the insertion of the fan assembly is facilitated in a recording.
In einer bevorzugten Ausbildungsform der Erfindung sind der Dichtring und der Pufferteil als einstückiger Körper und auch einstoffig ausgebildet. Damit werden Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand erheblich reduziert. Auch vereinfacht sich ein Einbau, wie nachfolgend noch anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung beschrieben wird. Dementsprechend wird die einstückige Kombination aus Dichtring und Pufferteil nachfolgend nur noch als Dichtungs Körper bezeichnet.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing ring and the buffer member are formed as a one-piece body and also einstoffig. This significantly reduces manufacturing and assembly costs. Also simplifies installation, as will be described below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the drawings. Accordingly, the one-piece combination of sealing ring and buffer member is hereinafter referred to only as a seal body.
Das Material des Dichtungs Körpers weist vorzugsweise eine Härte von ca. 40 bis ca. 50 Shore auf. Femer weist es eine Festigkeit von ca. 10 bis ca. 20 N/mm2 und/oder eine Elastizität von ca. 40 bis ca. 60% auf und läßt vorzugsweise eine Dehnung von ca. 150 bis ca. 300% zu. Das Material des Dichtungs Körpers ist insbesondere so auszuwählen, dass die vorstehend genannten Werte auch nach Alterung unter den Betriebsbedingungen in einem Bodenpflegegerät bei andauernder Schwingungsbelastung und erhöhten Temperaturen eingehalten bleiben.The material of the sealing body preferably has a hardness of about 40 to about 50 Shore. Furthermore, it has a strength of about 10 to about 20 N / mm 2 and / or an elasticity of about 40 to about 60% and preferably allows an elongation of about 150 to about 300%. In particular, the material of the sealing body should be selected such that the values mentioned above remain maintained even after aging under the operating conditions in a floor care appliance with continuous vibration load and elevated temperatures.
In einer bevorzugten Ausbildungsform der Erfindung ist der Pufferteil zur Einstellung einer von dem Dichtring abweichenden Elastizität mit mindestens einer Ausnehmung versehen. Diese Ausnehmungen sind vorzugsweise in Form ungefähr äquidistanter Sacklöcher in dem Pufferteil vorgesehen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the buffer part is provided with at least one recess for setting an elasticity deviating from the sealing ring. These recesses are preferably provided in the form of approximately equidistant blind holes in the buffer member.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Dichtung ermöglicht die erleichterte Aufnahme einer Gebläseanordnung auch in der beengten Umgebung und den schwierigen Einbauverhältnissen in Innenraum eines Bodenpflegegerätes. Gleichzeitig wird unter Senkung der einzelnen, an dem Einbau beteiligten Elemente eine neue Abdichtung zwischen dem Gebläsegehäuse bzw. einer Gebläsehaube und dem Zentrifugalgebläserad bei einer Optimierung der Gebläseleistungsdaten geschaffen, insbesondere unter Senkung der auftretenden Verluste. Die nachfolgend noch anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläuterte Erfindung zeichnet sich besonders dadurch aus, daß zum inneren und äußeren Abdichtung keine gesonderten Bauteile benötigt werden. Gleichzeitig wird eine individuell einstellbare Kompensation in der Fertigung stets auftretender Toleranzen zwischen feststehenden und rotierenden Gebläseteilen geschaffen. Die Lagerung und gleichzeitige Fixierung einer erfindungsgemäßen Dichtung durch den Pufferteil erzielt zudem eine wesentliche Geräuschdämpfung. Dabei ist eine Materialauswahl in weiten Parameterbereich möglich, wobei insbesondere die vorgeschlagenen konstruktiven Maßnahmen eine weitgehend unabhängige Einstellung der Federsteifigkeit der Dichtrings und des Pufferteils ermöglichen.A seal according to the invention makes it easier to accommodate a fan assembly even in the cramped environment and the difficult installation conditions in the interior of a floor care appliance. At the same time, by lowering the individual elements involved in the installation, a new seal is created between the blower housing or a blower hood and the centrifugal blower wheel with an optimization of the blower power data, in particular by reducing the losses occurring. The invention explained below with reference to an embodiment is particularly characterized by the fact that no separate components are required for the inner and outer sealing. At the same time an individually adjustable compensation in the production of always occurring tolerances between fixed and rotating fan parts is created. The storage and simultaneous fixation of a seal according to the invention by the buffer member also achieves a significant noise reduction. In this case, a choice of material in a wide range of parameters is possible, in particular the proposed design measures allow a largely independent adjustment of the spring stiffness of the sealing ring and the buffer member.

In der Abbildung von Figur 1 ist eine Schnittdarstellung entlang einer Längsachse eines Staubsaugergehäuses SG unter Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Dichtung 1 dargestellt. Das Staubsaugergehäuse SG unterteilt sich einem eingesaugten Luftstrom L folgend in eine Staubkammer SK, die durch eine Trennwand TW mit einem oder mehreren Filtern F von einem Motorraum MR getrennt ist. In der Trennwand TW ist ein Luftleittrichter LT als platzsparende und strömungsöptimierte Anpassung der Luftstroms L zur Überleitung in ein Gebläse G vorgesehen.In the illustration of Figure 1 is a sectional view taken along a longitudinal axis of a vacuum cleaner housing SG using a
In der Ausschnittsvergrößerung von Figur 2 ist ein Bereich um einen Motor M in dem Motorraum MR dargestellt. Durch Pfeile P1 und P2 sind zwei Lagerstellen des Motors M in dem Motorraum MR bzw. in dem Luftleittrichter LT der Trennwand TW und einer gegenüberliegenden hinteren Wand des Motorraums MR gekennzeichnet.

Here, on average, the shape of a seal according to the invention or of a sealing
Zur Fixierung ist der Dichtungs Körper 1 in dem Bereich einer Einströmöffnung E klemmend auf einem Randbereich eines Gebläsegehäuses GG angeordnet. In einem Grenzbereich zwischen einem Endbereich des Gebläsegehäuses GG und einem Zentrifugallüfterrades LR bildet der Dichtungs Körper 1 in der Einströmöffnung E einen Dichtring 2 aus. Durch individuelles Einschleifen des Dichtrings 2 an dem jeweiligen Zentrifugallüfterrad LR wird ein optimierter und weitgehend wirbelfreier Übergang von dem Saugbereich in ein Laufrad stattfinden. Damit wird der Wirkungsgrad des so ausgerüsteten Gebläses opitmiert.For fixing the sealing
Der Dichtungs Körper 1 erstreckt sich dann aus der Einströmöffnung E heraus und umschließt die Einströmöffnung E radial unter Ausbildung eines Pufferteils 3. Damit ist der Dichtungs Körper 1 zu dem Staubraum hin geschlossen und an einem äußeren Umfang U einem Innendurchmesser im Anschlußbereich des Luftleittrichters LT angepaßt ausgebildet. Damit ist das Gebläse mit dem daran fest montierten Motor M abdichtend mit dem Luftleittrichter LT und somit an der Trennwand TW zu dem Staubraum SR hin angeordnet.The

Der Pufferteil 3 dient dem Ausgleich von Toleranzen und senkt zudem die im Betrieb auftretenden Geräusche. Zudem werden Schwingungen und eine Schwingneigung der Anordnung aus Gebläse G und Motor M durch eine Abstimmung einer Federsteifigkeit des Materials im Bereich des Pufferteils 3 gemindert.Thus, the
