Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with at least one illumination device.
- a vacuum cleaner with a lighting device is for example from the EP 1 226 778 A1 known. There, the arrangement of LEDs is described on a suction head.
- the vacuum cleaner After vacuuming the vacuum cleaner is often placed in a storage room. There, poor lighting conditions can cause objects to be knocked over with the vacuum cleaner.
- the invention addresses the problem of improving a vacuum cleaner of the aforementioned type so that the user is easier to handle.
- the achievable with the invention advantages result from the lighting device is associated with a circuit device with which at least a short-term lighting after switching off the vacuum cleaner or disconnecting the vacuum cleaner from the mains voltage can be achieved. This allows the user to see well even in a dark environment, which makes it easier to park the vacuum cleaner.
- the lighting device can be arranged in an advantageous manner in a holding device for a suction tool, here it acts to the effect that the insertion of the suction tool in the holding device is possible even in dark rooms.
- FIG. 1 shows a canister vacuum cleaner 1 in the operating position, ie with the wheels not shown on the ground.
- the housing 2 of the vacuum cleaner 1 is equipped with a holding device 4 in its right-hand region 3 in the pulling direction. This is intended to receive a corresponding locking element on a suction tool (not shown), in particular on a floor nozzle. This results in a so-called parking position.
- FIG. 2 shows the vacuum cleaner 1 on the rear side of the housing 5 standing in a so-called storage position.
- the lateral holding devices 4 comprise an insertion region 7 and a holding portion 8 for the not shown locking element on the floor nozzle. Both areas 7 and 8 are each equipped with a rather punctually acting illumination device, hereinafter referred to as point illuminations 9 and 10 respectively.
- a further, strip-shaped illumination device is arranged below the lateral holding devices, referred to below as light strips 11.
- the point lights 9 and 10 facilitate the insertion of the locking element to the user, the light strip 11 also serves in addition to the illumination of the suction area and even to illuminate the storage space of the vacuum cleaner. 1
- FIG. 4 shows the lighting devices 9 to 11 with the side holding devices as a detail.
- lighting panels 12 On both sides lighting panels 12 can be seen, which are in the installed state inside the housing. They are connected via a line 13 to a supply and control electronics 14.
- a plurality of LED's 15 are arranged as light sources, see FIG. 5 , Of the light sources lead on each lighting board light guide 16 in the insertion and in the holding area and form there the point lights 9 and 10. Further LED's 15 are associated with a lens 17, which also acts as a light guide and the light strip 11 is formed. The surfaces of the light guides 16 and 17 are flush with the surface of the housing 2.
- the supply and control electronics 14 is equipped with a circuit device 18, the lighting devices 9 to 11 upon actuation of the main switch 19 (see FIG. 1 ) also turns on.
- the circuit device 18 comprises also two capacitors 20, which maintain a power supply of 30 to 60 seconds to the lighting boards 12 after the main switch is actuated and thus the vacuum cleaner 1 has been turned off. This time is sufficient for further lighting to unplug the power plug (not shown), parking the vacuum cleaner 1 and inserting the locking element.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger mit mindestens einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with at least one illumination device.
Ein Staubsauger mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der
Nach dem Saugvorgang wird der Staubsauger oft in einer Abstellkammer platziert. Dort können schlechte Lichtverhältnisse dazu führen, dass mit dem Staubsauger Gegenstände umgeworfen werden.After vacuuming the vacuum cleaner is often placed in a storage room. There, poor lighting conditions can cause objects to be knocked over with the vacuum cleaner.
Der Erfindung stellt sich das Problem, einen Staubsauger der vorgenannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dem Benutzer die Handhabung erleichtert wird.The invention addresses the problem of improving a vacuum cleaner of the aforementioned type so that the user is easier to handle.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Staubsauger mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention this problem is solved by a vacuum cleaner with the features of
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Beleuchtungseinrichtung eine Schaltungseinrichtung zugeordnet ist, mit welcher wenigstens eine kurzfristige Beleuchtung nach dem Ausschalten des Staubsaugers oder dem Trennen des Staubsaugers von der Netzspannung erreichbar ist. Hierdurch kann der Benutzer auch in einer dunklen Umgebung gut sehen, was das Abstellen des Staubsaugers erleichtert.The achievable with the invention advantages result from the lighting device is associated with a circuit device with which at least a short-term lighting after switching off the vacuum cleaner or disconnecting the vacuum cleaner from the mains voltage can be achieved. This allows the user to see well even in a dark environment, which makes it easier to park the vacuum cleaner.
Die Beleuchtungseinrichtung kann in vorteilhafter Weise in einer Haltevorrichtung für ein Saugwerkzeug angeordnet sein, hier wirkt sie dahingehend, dass das Einführen des Saugwerkzeugs in die Haltevorrichtung auch in dunklen Räumen möglich ist.The lighting device can be arranged in an advantageous manner in a holding device for a suction tool, here it acts to the effect that the insertion of the suction tool in the holding device is possible even in dark rooms.
