D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, prise à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence à la figure unique annexée représentant un aspirateur selon l'invention.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, taken by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the single appended figure showing a vacuum cleaner according to the invention.
La présente invention concerne un aspirateur 1 équipé de sa chaîne d'accessoires 2. La chaîne d'accessoires 2 comprend de façon connue en soi un flexible 14 dont une extrémité est connectée à l'aspirateur et l'autre extrémité à une crosse 15 permettant à un utilisateur de manipuler la chaîne d'accessoires 2. La crosse 15 est également connectée à un tube de liaison 12 dont l'extrémité est équipée d'un suceur 10. Selon l'exemple d'illustration de l'invention, tel que le montre la
L'aspirateur possède notamment un moto-ventilateur 24 susceptible de créer un flux d'aspiration d'air dans le tube et dans le suceur. L'aspirateur comprend également un dispositif de filtration des déchets (non représenté) permettant de retenir les déchets aspirés dans le boîtier de l'aspirateur 1. Ce dispositif de filtration peut comprendre soit un sac, soit un dispositif de séparation cyclonique à un ou plusieurs étages.The vacuum cleaner has in particular a motor-
Le boîtier de l'aspirateur est équipé de roues 21, 23 pour assurer le déplacement de l'aspirateur 1. Le boîtier comprend également une sortie d'air par laquelle l'air préalablement débarrassé des déchets par le dispositif de filtration est évacué.The housing of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with
La puissance électrique délivrée au moto-ventilateur est commandée par une unité de commande électronique 25.The electric power delivered to the fan motor is controlled by an
Selon l'invention, l'unité de commande permet d'établir au moins deux modes de fonctionnement du moto-ventilateur. Chaque mode de fonctionnement correspond à une puissance électrique distincte délivrée au moto-ventilateur. L'un des modes de fonctionnement correspond au fonctionnement selon la puissance maximum du moto-ventilateur.According to the invention, the control unit makes it possible to establish at least two modes of operation of the motor-fan. Each mode of operation corresponds to a distinct electric power delivered to the fan motor. One of the operating modes corresponds to the operation according to the maximum power of the fan motor.
L'unité de commande comprend un moyen de détection 26 de la présence du suceur 10 sur la chaîne d'accessoires 2. Selon une première variante, le moyen de détection comprend un dispositif sans fil apte à détecter une balise correspondante sur le suceur. A titre d'exemple, le moyen de détection comprend un lecteur 26 d'étiquette d'identification par radiofréquence. Par ailleurs, le suceur 10 est équipé d'une étiquette 16 d'identification par radiofréquence (RFID Tag). Lorsque le suceur est connecté à la chaîne d'accessoires, le lecteur d'étiquette par radiofréquence fournit un signal correspondant à la présence du suceur 10 à l'unité de commande 25 de l'aspirateur. Sur réception de ce signal, l'unité de commande 25 déclenche le fonctionnement du moto-ventilateur 24 selon un mode particulier.The control unit comprises a detection means 26 for the presence of the
Selon l'invention, la puissance délivrée au moto-ventilateur 24 par l'unité de commande 25, lorsque le suceur 10 est détecté, est inférieure à la puissance maximale. Par ailleurs, lorsque le suceur 10 n'est pas détecté par le moyen de détection 26, l'unité de commande délivre la puissance maximale au moto-ventilateur 24.According to the invention, the power delivered to the motor-
Dans une autre variante non représentée, le moyen de détection comprend un circuit électrique le long de la chaîne d'accessoires 2 connectée à l'unité de commande 25. Le suceur 10 assure la fermeture du circuit électrique lorsqu'il est connecté à la chaîne d'accessoires 2. Ainsi, lorsque le suceur 10 n'est pas présent, la tension du circuit électrique est nulle ce qui constitue pour l'unité de commande 25 le signal d'absence du suceur 10 déclenchant le mode de fonctionnement correspondant. Inversement, lorsque le suceur 10 est présent, la tension du circuit électrique est différente de zéro. L'unité de commande 25 déclenche alors un autre mode de fonctionnement.In another variant not shown, the detection means comprises a electrical circuit along the
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'unité de commande comprend également des moyens d'identification du suceur. L'unité de commande comprend un mode de fonctionnement par type de suceur. Ainsi, l'unité de commande permet non seulement d'ajuster le fonctionnement du moto-ventilateur en fonction de la présence ou non du suceur mais également en fonction de type de suceur. En effet, le fonctionnement optimal d'un suceur adapté pour un sol lisse ne nécessite pas la même puissance d'aspiration qu'un suceur adapté pour la moquette ou qu'une turbo-brosse.According to another embodiment, the control unit also comprises identification means of the nozzle. The control unit comprises a mode of operation by type of nozzle. Thus, the control unit not only makes it possible to adjust the operation of the motor-fan according to the presence or absence of the nozzle, but also according to the type of nozzle. Indeed, the optimal operation of a nozzle suitable for a smooth floor does not require the same suction power as a nozzle suitable for carpet or a turbo brush.
Selon la variante représentée, l'étiquette 16 d'identification par radiofréquence du suceur 10 comprend un identifiant caractéristique du suceur. Le lecteur 26 d'étiquette d'identification par radiofréquence est donc capable de reconnaître le type de suceur en fonction de l'identifiant.According to the variant shown, the
Lorsque la détection de la présence du suceur est réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit électrique le long de la chaîne d'accessoires, le suceur comprend un composant électronique, telle qu'une résistance, monté en série sur le circuit électrique. La valeur de la résistance est différente d'un type de suceur à l'autre. Lorsqu'un suceur est connecté, la valeur de la tension mesurée par l'unité de commande dans le circuit électrique est alors différente d'un suceur à l'autre.When detection of the presence of the nozzle is performed via an electrical circuit along the accessory chain, the nozzle comprises an electronic component, such as a resistor, mounted in series on the electrical circuit. The value of the resistance is different from one type of nozzle to another. When a nozzle is connected, the value of the voltage measured by the control unit in the electrical circuit is then different from one nozzle to another.
L'aspirateur selon l'invention fonctionne de la façon suivante. Lors de la mise en route de l'aspirateur, le moyen de détection 26 transmet un signal représentatif de la présence ou non du suceur 10 à l'unité de commande 25. La puissance correspondant au signal est délivrée au moto-ventilateur 24. Ainsi, lorsqu'un suceur 10 est détecté, la puissance correspondant au fonctionnement optimal de ce suceur est délivrée au moto-ventilateur 24.The vacuum cleaner according to the invention operates as follows. When the vacuum cleaner is switched on, the detection means 26 transmit a signal representative of the presence or absence of the
Si aucun suceur 10 n'est détecté, la puissance maximum est délivrée au moto-ventilateur. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut utiliser la crosse 15 seule pour aspirer des déchets volumineux d'accès difficile.If no
Lorsque l'aspirateur 1 selon l'invention comprend également les moyens d'identification du suceur 10, la puissance délivrée au moto-ventilateur 24 est adaptée au suceur 10 connecté à la chaîne d'accessoires.When the
Ainsi, selon l'invention, en ajustant la puissance délivrée au moto-ventilateur dans la zone de fonctionnement optimal du suceur 10, l'énergie électrique consommée par l'aspirateur est donc réduite au juste nécessaire. Toutefois, la puissance maximum du moto-ventilateur reste disponible pour des utilisations très ponctuelles sans le suceur 10.Thus, according to the invention, by adjusting the power delivered to the fan motor in the optimum operating area of the
