Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Mittels derartiger Staubsauger kann beispielsweise eine Bodefläche oder auch ein Möbelstück, insbesondere ein Polstermöbel, abgesaugt werden. Vom Benutzer kann der Staubsauger entlang der Bodenfläche verfahren werden. Hierzu sind am Gehäuseunterteil Räder gelagert, beispielsweise zwei Laufräder und zumindest ein um eine vertikale Schwenkachse verschwenkbares Lenkrad. Das im Gehäuseoberteil angeordnete Saugaggregat, das einen Elektromotor und eine Saugturbine aufweist, erzeugt im Schmutzsammelbehälter, der vom Gehäuseunterteil ausgebildet wird, einen Unterdruck, so dass über den Saugschlauch, der an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen werden kann, Schmutzpartikel in den Schmutzsammelbehälter gesaugt werden können. Um das Saugaggregat mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen, kommt ein elektrisches Versorgungskabel zum Einsatz.By means of such vacuum cleaner, for example, a floor surface or even a piece of furniture, in particular a upholstered furniture, are sucked off. The user can move the vacuum cleaner along the floor surface. For this purpose, wheels are mounted on the lower housing part, for example, two wheels and at least one pivotable about a vertical pivot axis steering wheel. The suction unit arranged in the upper housing part, which has an electric motor and a suction turbine, generates a negative pressure in the dirt collecting container, which is formed by the lower housing part, so that dirt particles can be sucked into the dirt collector via the suction hose, which can be connected to the suction inlet. To supply the suction unit with electrical energy, an electrical supply cable is used.
Das elektrische Versorgungskabel kann eine Länge von über 10 Meter, beispielsweise eine Länge vom 15 Meter aufweisen, und auch der Saugschlauch weist üblicherweise eine beträchtliche Länge auf, beispielsweise eine Länge von mindestens zwei Metern. Zur Aufbewahrung des Staubsaugers wird das Versorgungskabel üblicherweise aufgewickelt und am Staubsauger gehalten. Außerdem ist es hilfreich, wenn auch der Saugschlauch am Gehäuse des Staubsaugers festgelegt werden kann. Wird der Staubsauger anschließend wieder in Betrieb genommen, so ist es für den Benutzer in vielen Fällen umständlich, das Versorgungskabel und den Saugschlauch unabhängig voneinander in eine Gebrauchsstellung zu überführen. Häufig besteht die Gefahr, dass sich Versorgungskabel und Saugschlauch miteinander verheddern und so die Ingebrauchnahme des Staubsaugers erschweren.The electrical supply cable may have a length of over 10 meters, for example, a length of 15 meters, and also the suction hose is usually a considerable length, for example, a length of at least two meters. To store the vacuum cleaner, the supply cable is usually wound up and held on the vacuum cleaner. In addition, it is helpful if the suction hose can be fixed to the housing of the vacuum cleaner. If the vacuum cleaner is then put back into operation, it is cumbersome for the user in many cases to transfer the supply cable and the suction hose independently in a position of use.

Aus dem Dokument
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Staubsauger der gattungsgemäßen Art derart weiterzubilden, dass er eine vereinfachte Handhabung aufweist, wobei das Versorgungskabel, der Saugschlauch und Zubehörteile des Staubsaugers auf einfache Weise zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger gehalten und zur Ingebrauchnahme vom Staubsauger abgenommen werden können.Object of the present invention is to develop a vacuum cleaner of the generic type such that it has a simplified handling, the supply cable, the suction hose and accessories of the vacuum cleaner can be easily kept for storage on the vacuum cleaner and removed from the vacuum cleaner for putting into use.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Staubsauger mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a vacuum cleaner with the features of claim 1.
Das Versorgungskabel kann beim erfindungsgemäßen Staubsauger auf einfache Weise zur Aufbewahrung am Gehäuseoberteil positioniert werden, indem es außenseitig um das Gehäuseoberteil herumgewickelt wird. Hierzu weist das Gehäuseoberteil eine Kabelaufnahme auf, die aufgrund ihrer Positionierung am Gehäuseoberteil dem Benutzer auf einfache Weise zugänglich ist. Soll der Staubsauger in Betrieb gesetzt werden, so kann vom Benutzer das Versorgungskabel ohne Weiteres in der gewünschten Länge vom Gehäuseoberteil abgewickelt werden.The supply cable can be positioned in the vacuum cleaner according to the invention in a simple manner for storage on the upper housing part by being wrapped around the outside of the housing top. For this purpose, the upper housing part has a cable receptacle, which is accessible to the user in a simple manner due to its positioning on the upper housing part. If the vacuum cleaner is to be put into operation, the user can easily unwind the supply cable from the upper part of the housing to the desired length.
Auch der an den Saugeinlass anschließbare Saugschlauch kann auf einfache Weise zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger positioniert werden. Hierzu kommt eine Schlauchhalterung zum Einsatz, die unterhalb der Kabelaufnahme angeordnet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Saugschlauch unterhalb des Versorgungskabels am Staubsauger positioniert werden kann, so dass Versorgungskabel und Saugschlauch unabhängig voneinander zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger angeordnet werden können, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass sie sich verheddern. Vorzugsweise kann der Saugschlauch in die Schlauchhalterung eingeklemmt werden. Soll der Staubsauger in Betrieb gesetzt werden, so kann der Saugschlauch der Schlauchhalterung entnommen werden ohne die Entnahme des Versorgungskabels aus der Kabelaufnahme zu beeinträchtigen. Der erfindungsgemäße Staubsauger zeichnet sich damit durch eine einfachere Handhabung aus.The suction hose that can be connected to the suction inlet can also be easily positioned for storage on the vacuum cleaner. This comes a hose holder is used, which is arranged below the cable receptacle. This has the advantage that the suction hose can be positioned below the supply cable on the vacuum cleaner, so that supply cable and suction hose can be arranged independently of each other for storage on the vacuum cleaner without the risk that they get tangled. Preferably, the suction hose can be clamped in the hose holder. If the vacuum cleaner is to be put into operation, then the suction hose of the hose holder can be removed without affecting the removal of the supply cable from the cable holder. The vacuum cleaner according to the invention is thus characterized by an easier handling.
Ein Ende des Saugschlauches kann wie üblich an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen werden und an das andere Ende des Saugschlauches kann in üblicher Weise ein Saugrohr angeschlossen werden, das an seinem freien Ende eine Saugdüse trägt zum Absaugen einer Fläche. Beispielsweise kann am freien Ende des Saugrohrs eine Bodendüse befestigt werden. Günstig ist es, wenn alternativ zur Bodendüse beispielsweise eine Fugendüse, eine Polsterdüse oder auch eine Heizkörperbürste befestigt werden kann. Derartige Zubehörteile des Staubsaugers kommen zur Reinigung spezieller Flächen zum Einsatz. Die Zubehörteile können zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger angeordnet werden. Hierzu ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung zumindest eine Ausnehmung zum Aufbewahren von mindestens einem Zubehörteil des Staubsaugers angeordnet ist. Das mindestens eine Zubehörteil kann bevorzugt in die Ausnehmung eingeklemmt werden. Die Positionierung der Ausnehmung unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung führt zu einer weiteren Vereinfachung der Handhabung des Staubsaugers, da die Entnahme sowie das Einsetzen eines Zubehörteils in die Ausnehmung weder vom Saugschlauch noch vom Versorgungskabel beeinträchtigt wird.One end of the suction hose can be connected as usual to the suction inlet and to the other end of the suction hose can be connected in a conventional manner, a suction tube, which carries at its free end a suction nozzle for sucking a surface. For example, a floor nozzle can be attached to the free end of the suction tube. It is advantageous if, for example, a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle or even a radiator brush can be fastened as an alternative to the floor nozzle. Such accessories of the vacuum cleaner are used for cleaning special surfaces used. The accessories can be placed on the vacuum cleaner for storage. For this purpose, the invention provides that below the hose holder at least one recess for storing at least one accessory of the vacuum cleaner is arranged. The at least one accessory can preferably be clamped in the recess. The positioning of the recess below the tube holder leads to a further simplification of the handling of the vacuum cleaner, since the removal and the insertion of an accessory in the recess is affected neither by the suction hose nor the supply cable.
Günstig ist es, wenn die Kabelaufnahme rinnenförmig ausgestaltet ist und eine Öffnung aufweist zum Hindurchführen eines Endbereichs des Versorgungskabels ins Innere des Gehäuseoberteils. An der Öffnung kann eine Zugentlastung angeordnet sein. Ausgehend vom Saugaggregat oder einer dem Saugaggregat zugeordneten Steuereinrichtung kann das Versorgungskabel zunächst innerhalb des Gehäuseoberteils verlaufen, um dann durch die in der Kabelaufnahme angeordnete Öffnung aus dem Gehäuseoberteil herauszutreten. Außerhalb des Gehäuseoberteils kann das Versorgungskabel zur Aufbewahrung in der rinnenförmigen Kabelaufnahme positioniert werden.It is expedient if the cable receptacle is designed to be channel-shaped and has an opening for passing an end region of the supply cable into the interior of the housing upper part. At the opening a strain relief can be arranged. Starting from the suction unit or a control unit associated with the suction unit, the supply cable can initially extend within the upper housing part, in order then to emerge from the upper housing part through the opening arranged in the cable receiver. Outside of the housing top, the supply cable can be positioned in the channel-shaped cable holder for storage.
Die Schlauchhalterung ist vorzugsweise an der Außenseite des Gehäuseunterteils festgelegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Gehäuseoberteil vom Gehäuseunterteil abgehoben werden kann, ohne dass zuvor der Saugschlauch der Schlauchhalterung entnommen werden muss.The tube holder is preferably fixed to the outside of the housing base. This has the advantage that the upper housing part can be lifted from the lower housing part without first having to remove the suction hose from the hose mount.
Als besonders günstig hat es sich erwiesen, die Schlauchhalterung auf der dem Saugeinlass abgewandten Seite des Gehäuseunterteils festzulegen.It has proved to be particularly favorable to fix the tube holder on the side of the lower housing part facing away from the suction inlet.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers ist die Schlauchhalterung in einem größeren Abstand zur Bodenfläche angeordnet als der Saugeinlass. Dies erleichtert die Positionierung des Saugschlauches in der Schlauchhalterung, wobei gleichzeitig ein Ende des Saugschlauches an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen ist.In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention, the hose holder is arranged at a greater distance from the bottom surface than the suction inlet. This facilitates the positioning of the suction hose in the hose holder, wherein at the same time one end of the suction hose is connected to the suction inlet.
Die Schlauchhalterung umfasst günstigerweise zumindest einen L-förmigen Haken. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Schlauchhalterung zwei L-förmige Haken aufweist, die in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. In den mindestens einen Haken kann der Saugschlauch auf einfache Weise zur Aufbewahrung eingeklemmt oder eingehängt werden.The hose holder conveniently comprises at least one L-shaped hook. It when the tube holder has two L-shaped hooks which are arranged at a distance from each other is particularly advantageous. In the at least one hook, the suction hose can be easily clamped or hooked for storage.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Haken parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind.It can be provided that the two hooks are aligned parallel to each other.
Von Vorteil ist es, wenn die Schlauchhalterung zwei Haken umfasst, die jeweils einen vom Gehäuseunterteil abstehenden ersten Schenkel aufweisen, an den sich ein zweiter Schenkel anschließt, der sich bis in Höhe des Gehäuseoberteils und im Abstand zu diesem erstreckt. Die ersten Schenkel der Haken können am Gehäuseunterteil festgelegt sein und die zweiten Schenkel können in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers in die der Bodenfläche abgewandte Richtung nach oben ragen, wobei die freien Enden der zweiten Schenkel seitlich neben dem Gehäuseoberteil und im Abstand zu diesem angeordnet sind. Der Saugschlauch kann dann auf einfache Wiese in den Bereich zwischen den zweiten Schenkeln und das Gehäuseoberteil eingesetzt werden, wobei er unterseitig von den ersten Schenkeln der Haken abgestützt wird.It is advantageous if the hose holder comprises two hooks, each having a protruding from the housing base first leg, to which a second leg connects, which extends up to the height of the upper housing part and at a distance therefrom. The first legs of the hooks may be fixed to the lower housing part and the second legs may protrude in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner in the direction away from the bottom surface upwards, wherein the free ends of the second leg are arranged laterally adjacent to the housing top and at a distance therefrom. The suction hose can then be used in a simple way in the area between the second legs and the upper housing part, wherein it is supported on the underside of the first legs of the hook.
Bevorzugt sind die beiden Haken der Schlauchhalterung über eine Traverse starr miteinander verbunden. Dies erhöht die mechanische Stabilität der Schlauchhalterung.Preferably, the two hooks of the hose holder via a crossbar are rigidly connected. This increases the mechanical stability of the hose holder.
Die Traverse bildet bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Staubsaugers eine Stützfläche aus zum Abstützen des Saugschlauches. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Saugschlauch nicht nur von den ersten Schenkeln der Haken in vertikaler Richtung abgestützt wird, sondern er erfährt eine zusätzliche Stütze durch die Traverse, die die beiden Haken miteinander verbindet.The Traverse forms in an advantageous embodiment of the vacuum cleaner, a support surface for supporting the suction hose. This has the advantage that the suction hose is supported not only by the first legs of the hooks in the vertical direction, but he experiences an additional support by the crossbar, which connects the two hooks together.
Günstig ist es, wenn die Traverse und die beiden Haken einstückig aus einem Kunststoffformteil gebildet sind.It is advantageous if the traverse and the two hooks are integrally formed from a plastic molding.
Wie eingangs erwähnt, kann der Staubsauger mittels der am Gehäuseunterteil angeordneten Räder entlang einer Bodenfläche verfahren werden. Wird der Staubsauger zum Transport zu einem Reinigungsobjekt, beispielsweise für die Fahrt zu einer Baustelle, auf der Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeuges positioniert, so besteht die Gefahr, dass der Staubsauger während des Transportes unbeabsichtigt in Bewegung gerät. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers ist deshalb vorgesehen, dass die Schlauchhalterung auf ihrer dem Gehäuseoberteil abgewandten Außenseite zumindest eine Stellfläche aufweist zum Abstellen des Staubsaugers auf einer Bodenfläche in einer bezogen auf die Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers um 90° gekippten Aufbewahrungsstellung. In seiner Betriebsstellung kontaktieren die am Gehäuseunterteil angeordneten Räder die Bodenfläche, so dass der Staubsauger verfahren werden kann. Zur Aufbewahrung kann der Staubsauger um 90° gekippt werden, wobei er mit der mindestens einen Stellfläche, vorzugsweise mit zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Stellflächen, der Schlauchhalterung auf der Bodenfläche aufsitzt. In dieser Stellung kann der Staubsauger nicht mittels der Räder verfahren werden, so dass die Gefahr vermieden wird, dass er während eines Transportes unbeabsichtigt verrutscht.As mentioned above, the vacuum cleaner can be moved by means of the housing lower part arranged wheels along a bottom surface. If the vacuum cleaner for transport to a cleaning object, for example, for driving to a construction site, positioned on the back of a transport vehicle, so there is a risk that the vacuum cleaner unintentionally gets in motion during transport. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is therefore provided that the hose holder has on its upper side facing away from the housing outer side at least one footprint for parking the vacuum cleaner on a floor surface in a tilted relative to the operating position of the vacuum cleaner by 90 ° storage position. In its operating position, the wheels arranged on the lower housing part contact the floor surface, so that the vacuum cleaner can be moved. For storage, the vacuum cleaner can be tilted by 90 °, wherein it is seated with the at least one footprint, preferably with two mutually spaced shelves, the hose holder on the bottom surface. In this position, the vacuum cleaner can not be moved by means of the wheels, so that the risk is avoided that it accidentally slips during transport.
Es kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass die Schlauchhalterung zwei L-förmige Schenkel aufweist. Dies wurde voranstehend bereits erläutert. Hierbei ist es günstig wenn die zweiten Schenkel im Bereich ihrer freien Enden dem Gehäuseoberteil abgewandt jeweils eine Stellfläche zum Abstellen des Staubsaugers auf einer Bodenfläche ausbilden. Mindestens eine weitere Stellfläche ist bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform am Gehäuseunterteil angeordnet.It can be provided, for example, that the hose holder has two L-shaped legs. This has already been explained above. In this case, it is favorable if the second limbs facing away from the housing upper part in the region of their free ends form in each case a footprint for parking the vacuum cleaner on a floor surface. At least one further footprint is arranged in an advantageous embodiment of the lower housing part.
Günstigerweise ist die mindestens eine Ausnehmung zum Aufbewahren von mindestens einem Zubehörteil in ein Kunststoffformteil eingeformt, das an der Außenseite des Gehäuseunterteils angeordnet ist. Das Gehäuseunterteil kann somit eine Gestalt aufweisen, die lediglich an die optimale Funktion des Schmutzsammelbehälters angepasst sein kann, insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schmutzsammelbehälter innenseitig eine möglichst glatte Oberfläche aufweist, so dass er auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann. Die Formgebung des Gehäuseunterteils wird nicht durch die Bereitstellung von mindestens einer Ausnehmung beeinträchtigt, die zum Aufbewahren von mindestens einem Zubehörteil zum Einsatz kommt. Für die Ausnehmung ist vielmehr ein separates Kunststoffformteil vorgesehen, das außenseitig an das Gehäuseunterteil angesetzt sein kann. Das Kunststoffformteil kann mit dem Gehäuseunterteil unlösbar verbunden, beispielsweise verrastet sein, es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Kunststoffformteil über eine lösbare Verbindung, beispielsweise über eine Schraubverbindung, mit dem Gehäuseunterteil verbunden ist.Conveniently, the at least one recess for storing at least one accessory is formed in a plastic molded part, which is arranged on the outside of the housing lower part. The lower housing part can thus have a shape which can be adapted only to the optimal function of the dirt collecting container, in particular it can be provided that the dirt collecting container has on the inside as smooth as possible surface, so that it can be cleaned in a simple manner. The shape of the lower housing part is not affected by the provision of at least one recess for storage is used by at least one accessory. Rather, a separate plastic molded part is provided for the recess, which may be attached to the outside of the housing lower part. The plastic molding can be permanently connected to the lower housing part, for example, be locked, but it can also be provided that the plastic molded part is connected via a detachable connection, for example via a screw, with the lower housing part.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn das Kunststoffformteil die mindestens eine Ausnehmung und darüber hinaus auch die Schlauchhalterung ausbildet. Dies erleichtert die Montage des Staubsaugers und reduziert auch dessen Herstellungskosten. Die Schlauchhalterung und die mindestens eine Ausnehmung bilden gemeinsam ein einteiliges Kunststoffformteil aus, das seitlich an das Gehäuseunterteil angesetzt werden kann. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Kunststoffformteil mehrere Ausnehmungen aufweist, beispielsweise Ausnehmungen zum Einsetzen einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und auch einer Heizkörperbürste. Diese Zubehörteile sind dem Benutzer auf einfache Weise unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung zugänglich. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die in der mindestens einen Ausnehmung angeordneten Zubehörteile dem Benutzer unmittelbar zugänglich sind, ohne dass eine Klappe oder sonstige Abdeckung die Zubehörteile abdeckt.It is particularly advantageous if the plastic molded part forms the at least one recess and moreover also the tube holder. This facilitates the assembly of the vacuum cleaner and also reduces its production costs. The hose holder and the at least one recess together form a one-piece plastic molded part, which can be attached to the side of the housing lower part. In particular, it can be provided that the plastic molded part has a plurality of recesses, for example recesses for inserting a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle and also a radiator brush. These accessories are easily accessible to the user below the tube holder. In particular, it may be provided that the accessories arranged in the at least one recess are directly accessible to the user, without a flap or other cover covering the accessories.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Staubsauger eine erste und eine zweite Halteeinrichtung für eine mit dem Saugschlauch verbundene Bodendüse aufweist, wobei die erste Halteeinrichtung an einer Seitenwand des Gehäuseunterteils und die zweite Halteeinrichtung an einer Bodenwand des Gehäuseunterteils angeordnet ist. Wie bereits erläutert, ist es günstig, wenn der Staubsauger nicht nur in einer Betriebsstellung mit seinen Rädern entlang einer Bodenfläche verfahren werden kann sondern zusätzlich auch in einer bezogen auf die Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers um 90° gekippten Aufbewahrungsstellung abgestellt werden kann. In dieser Aufbewahrungsstellung ist die an der Bodenwand des Gehäuseunterteils positionierte zweite Halteeinrichtung dem Benutzer zugänglich, so dass er die Bodendüse an der zweiten Halteeinrichtung festlegen kann. Alternativ kann der Benutzer die Bodendüse in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers an der ersten Halteeinrichtung festlegen, die seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil positioniert ist. Wird beispielsweise ein Reinigungsvorgang nur kurzzeitig unterbrochen, so kann die seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil angeordnete erste Halteeinrichtung die Bodendüse aufnehmen, wird dagegen der Staubsauger für längere Zeit außer Betrieb gesetzt, so kann er um 90° in eine Aufbewahrungsstellung verkippt werden und anschließend kann die Bodendüse an der zweiten Halteeinrichtung festgelegt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the vacuum cleaner has a first and a second holding device for a floor nozzle connected to the suction hose, wherein the first holding device is arranged on a side wall of the housing lower part and the second holding device on a bottom wall of the housing lower part. As already explained, it is favorable if the Vacuum cleaner can be moved not only in an operating position with its wheels along a floor surface but can also be turned off in a storage position tilted by 90 ° relative to the operating position of the vacuum cleaner. In this storage position, the second holding device positioned on the bottom wall of the lower housing part is accessible to the user, so that he can fix the floor nozzle to the second holding device. Alternatively, the user can set the floor nozzle in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner on the first holding device, which is positioned laterally on the housing lower part. If, for example, a cleaning process is interrupted only briefly, the laterally arranged on the lower housing part holding device can absorb the floor nozzle, however, the vacuum cleaner is put out of operation for a long time, it can be tilted by 90 ° in a storage position and then the floor nozzle on the second holding device are set.

In der Zeichnung ist schematisch ein erfindungsgemäßer Staubsauger 10 dargestellt mit einem Gehäuseunterteil 11 und einem auf das Gehäuseunterteil 11 aufsetzbaren Gehäuseoberteil 12. Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 bildet einen Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 aus mit einem Saugeinlass 15, der in Form eines Rohrstutzens ausgebildet ist und an den ein Saugschlauch 17 angeschlossen werden kann. Bei der in
Das Gehäuseoberteil 12 nimmt in üblicher und deshalb in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellter Weise ein Saugaggregat auf mit einer Saugturbine, die von einem Elektromotor angetrieben wird. Mittels des Saugaggregates kann der Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 in üblicher Weise mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt werden, so dass über die Bodendüse 19, das Saugrohr 18 und den Saugschlauch 17 Schmutzpartikel in den Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 eingesaugt werden können.The
Zum Anschluss des Saugaggregates an eine elektrische Spannungsquelle weist der Staubsauger 10 ein elektrisches Versorgungskabel 21 auf, das zur Aufbewahrung des Staubsaugers 10 in einer Kabelaufnahme 22 positioniert werden kann, die in Form einer Rinne 23 das Gehäuseoberteil 12 in Umfangsrichtung umgibt. Die Rinne 23 weist eine Öffnung 25 auf. Dies wird aus
Oberseitig weist das Gehäuseoberteil 12 einen Handgriff 28 auf, der vom Benutzer erfasst werden kann, um den Staubsauger 10 zu tragen. Seitlich weist das Gehäuseoberteil 12 oberhalb des Saugeinlasses 15 zum Ein- und Ausschalten des in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Saugaggregates einen Fußschalter 29 auf, der in Form eines Tasters ausgebildet ist.On the upper side, the
Am Gehäuseunterteil 11 sind um eine gemeinsame Drehachse 31 frei drehbar zwei Laufräder 32, 33 gelagert. Außerdem sind am Gehäuseunterteil 11 zwei Lenkräder 35, 36 gelagert, die jeweils um eine Drehachse 37 bzw. 38 frei drehbar und zusätzlich um eine vertikale Schwenkachse 39 bzw. 40 verschwenkbar sind. Mittels der Laufräder 32, 33 und der Lenkräder 35, 36 kann der Staubsauger 10 entlang einer Bodenfläche 42 verfahren werden. Auf der dem Saugeinlass 15 abgewandten Rückseite des Gehäuseunterteils 11 ist oberhalb der Laufräder 32, 33 ein einteiliges Kunststoffformteil 45 am Gehäuseunterteil 11 festgelegt. Das Kunststoffformteil 45 bildet drei Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49 aus, in die jeweils ein Zubehörteil eingesetzt werden kann in Form einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und einer Heizkörperbürste. Derartige Zubehörteile sind dem Fachmann an sich bekannt und daher in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt. Oberhalb der Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49 bildet das Kunststoffformteil 45 eine Schlauchhalterung 51 aus zur Aufbewahrung des Saugschlauches 17, wenn der Staubsauger 10 außer Betrieb ist. Die Schlauchhalterung 51 umfasst einen ersten L-förmigen Haken 53 und einen zweiten L-förmigen Haken 54, die parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind und jeweils einen ersten Schenkel 56 bzw. 57 aufweisen, der rückseitig vom Gehäuseunterteil 11 absteht, sowie einen zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60, der sich an das Ende des ersten Schenkels 56 bzw. 57 anschließt und vertikal in die der Bodenfläche 42 abgewandte Richtung ausgerichtet ist. Die freien Endbereiche 62, 63 der zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60 erstrecken sich in vertikaler Richtung bis in Höhe des Gehäuseoberteils 12.On the
Die beiden Haken 53, 54 bilden jeweils eine Aufnahme für den Saugschlauch 17 aus. Dieser kann mit einem Ende am Saugeinlass 15 festgelegt sein und dann außenseitig um den Staubsauger 10 herumgeführt werden, um in den Bereich zwischen die zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60 und das Gehäuseoberteil 12 eingesetzt zu werden. Die ersten Schenkel 56 bzw. 57 stützen den Saugschlauch 17 dann in vertikaler Richtung ab. Die ersten Schenkel 56 und 57 bilden hierzu jeweils eine in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers 10 im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtete Stützfläche 65 bzw. 66 aus. Die Stützflächen 65 und 66 sind in Höhe einer Trennfuge 68 angeordnet, die zwischen dem Gehäuseunterteil 11 und dem Gehäuseoberteil 12 verläuft.The two hooks 53, 54 each form a receptacle for the
In ihren freien Endbereichen 62 bzw. 63 bilden die zweiten Schenkel 59 und 60 auf ihrer dem Gehäuseoberteil 12 abgewandten Seite jeweils eine Stellfläche 70 bzw. 71 aus. Die zweiten Schenkel 59 und 60 können hierzu in ihren freien Endbereichen 62 bzw. 63 jeweils eine Rippenstruktur aufweisen. Zwei weitere Stellflächen 73 bzw. 74 definiert das Gehäuseunterteil 11 hinter den Laufrädern 32 und 33. Auf den Stellflächen 70, 71, 73 und 74 kann der Staubsauger 10 in einer bezogen auf die in den
Die beiden Haken 53, 54 der Schlauchhalterung 51 sind über eine Traverse 76, die ebenfalls vom Kunststoffformteil 45 gebildet wird, starr miteinander verbunden. Die nach Art einer Stufe ausgebildete Traverse 76 definiert oberseitig eine weitere Stützfläche 77 für den Saugschlauch 17 und überdeckt in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers 10 die unterhalb der Traverse 76 angeordneten Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49.The two hooks 53, 54 of the
Zwischen den beiden Haken 53 und 54 ist am Gehäuseoberteil 12 ein Gitter 79 angeordnet, das eine Ausblasöffnung des Staubsaugers 10 überdeckt. Über die Ausblasöffnung wird die vom Saugaggregat angesaugte Luft, nachdem sie ein hinter dem Gitter 79 positioniertes Filter durchströmt hat, nach außen abgegeben.Between the two
Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 weist an seiner Außenseite eine erste Halteeinrichtung 81 mit einer T-förmigen Nut 82 auf, in die die Bodendüse 19 mit einer komplementär zur T-förmigen Nut 82 ausgebildeten Halterippe, die in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Eine zweite Halteeinrichtung 84 ist an der Unterseite 85 des Gehäuseunterteils 11 angeordnet. Die zweite Halteeinrichtung 84 ist identisch ausgestaltet wie die erste Halteeinrichtung 81 und weist ebenfalls eine T-förmige Nut 86 auf, in die die korrespondierende Halterippe der Bodendüse 19 zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Dies gibt dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit, bei einer kurzzeitigen Unterbrechung eines Reinigungsvorganges die Bodendüse in der ersten Halteeinrichtung 81 festzulegen, wie dies in
Eine zusätzliche Vereinfachung der Handhabung wird beim Staubsauger 10 dadurch erzielt, dass das Gehäuseoberteil 12 oberseitig neben dem Handgriff 28 eine kreisringförmige Steckaufnahme 88 aufweist, in die das freie Ende des Saugschlauches 17, nachdem es vom Saugrohr 18 getrennt wurde, zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Die Steckaufnahme 88 dient somit der Halterung des freien Endes des Saugschlauches 17 bei seiner Aufbewahrung. Ein Ende des Saugschlauches kann somit am Saugeinlass 15 des Schmutzsammelbehälters 14 festgelegt sein und das andere Ende des Saugschlauches kann mittels der Steckaufnahme 88 oberseitig am Gehäuseoberteil 12 festgelegt sein, nachdem der Saugschlauch um das Gehäuseoberteil 12 außenseitig herumgeführt und mittels der Haken 53 und 54 am Gehäuseoberteil 12 festgeklemmt wurde. Das Saugrohr 18 kann zusammen mit der Bodendüse 19 an der ersten Halteeinrichtung 81 seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil festgelegt werden.An additional simplification of the handling is achieved in the
Aus dem Voranstehenden wird deutlich, dass die rinnenförmige Kabelaufnahme 22 für das Versorgungskabel 21 oberhalb der Schlauchhalterung 51 angeordnet ist, die wiederum oberhalb der Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 positioniert ist. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dies eine besonders einfache Handhabung des Staubsaugers ermöglicht. Insbesondere kann das Versorgungskabel 21 auf einfache Weise in der Kabelaufnahme 22 positioniert werden, ohne dass der Benutzer dabei vom Saugschlauch 17 behindert wird. Dieser wiederum kann zur Aufbewahrung in die Schlauchhalterung 51 eingeklemmt werden und der Schlauchhalterung 51 bei der Inbetriebnahme des Staubsaugers 10 auf einfache Weise entnommen werden, ohne dass er hierbei vom Versorgungskabel 21 behindert wird. Es besteht praktisch keine Gefahr, dass sich Versorgungskabel 21 und Saugschlauch 17 verheddern. Unabhängig von der Positionierung des Versorgungskabels 21 und des Saugschlauches 17 kann der Benutzer Zubehörteile in Form einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und einer Heizkörperbürste in die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 einklemmen, wobei ihm diese Ausnehmungen unmittelbar zugänglich sind. Die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 werden in Kombination mit der Schlauchhalterung 51 vom einteiligen Kunststoffformteil 45 gebildet, das seitlich an das Gehäuseunterteil 11 angesetzt ist. Dies verleiht der Schlauchhalterung 51 eine hohe mechanische Belastbarkeit und der Staubsauger 10 kann auf einfache Weise montiert werden. Die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 werden vom Kunststoffformteil 45 vorgegeben, so dass die Formgebung des Gehäuseunterteils 11 davon unbeeinträchtigt ist. Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 kann daher innenseitig eine glatte Oberfläche aufweisen, so dass der Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann.It will be apparent from the foregoing that the channel-shaped
