Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Staubsaugerdüse, insbesondere für Haushaltsstaubsauger, mit einem kippbeweglich gelagerten Bodengleitstück, das an seiner Unterseite eine Gleitfläche zur Auflage auf einer textilen Bodenfläche und einen Saugmund aufweist.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle, in particular for household vacuum cleaners, with a tiltably mounted Bodengleitstück having on its underside a sliding surface for resting on a textile bottom surface and a suction mouth.

Eine Staubsaugerdüse mit den beschriebenen Merkmalen ist aus DE 197 38 046 A1 bekannt. Die Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes ist mittig zum Saugmund ausgerichtet und erstreckt sich innerhalb eines den Saugmund formenden Kanals des Bodengleitstückes. Bei einer Schwenkbewegung des Bodengleitstückes führen die den Saugmund begrenzenden Saugmundkanten gegensinnige Vertikalbewegungen aus. Die Anordnung führt dazu, dass das Bodengleitstück bei einer Bewegung der Staubsaugerdüse über einen Bodenbelag durch Reibung leicht verkippt wird und nicht immer optimal zur Bodenfläche ausgerichtet ist. Insbesondere ist die bekannte Anordnung des Bodengleitstückes nicht in der Lage, eine etwaige Schrägstellung der Staubsaugerdüse beim Saugen wirksam zu kompensieren. Eine Schrägstellung der Staubsaugerdüse tritt beispielsweise beim Saugen hochfloriger Teppiche oder Teppichböden auf, da die Rückseite der Staubsaugerdüse, die bei einer Saugbewegung durch schräg nach unten gerichtete Kräfte belastet wird, tiefer in den Teppichbelag einsinkt. Die Saugeigenschaften der bekannten Staubsaugerdüse auf hochflorigen Teppichbelägen sind noch verbesserungsbedürftig.A vacuum cleaner nozzle with the features described is out DE 197 38 046 A1 known. The pivot axis of the Bodengleitstückes is aligned centrally of the suction mouth and extends within a suction mouth forming channel of Bodengleitstückes. In a pivoting movement of the Bodengleitstückes lead the suction mouth delimiting Saugmundkanten opposite directions vertical movements. The arrangement causes the Bodengleitstück is slightly tilted by a movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on a floor covering by friction and is not always aligned optimally to the bottom surface. In particular, the known arrangement of the Bodengleitstückes is not able to effectively compensate for any skew of the vacuum cleaner nozzle when sucking. An inclination of the vacuum cleaner nozzle occurs, for example, when sucking high-pile carpets or carpets, as the back of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which is loaded during a suction movement by obliquely downward forces sinks deeper into the carpet. The suction properties of the known vacuum cleaner nozzle on high-pile carpets are still in need of improvement.

Bei einer aus EP 2 449 935 A1 bekannten Staubsaugerdüse ist die Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes in Arbeitsrichtung etwas hinter dem Saugmund angeordnet, wobei sich die Lageranordnung aufgrund des beengten Bauraumes einer Staubsaugerdüse jedoch unmittelbar an dem Körper des Bodengleitstückes befindet. Der Winkelbereich, in dem das Bodengleitstück verschwenkt werden kann, ist sehr begrenzt. Auch die aus der DE2364750 A1 bekannte Staubsaugerdüse weist eine Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes auf, welche in Arbeitsrichtung hinter dem Saugmund angeordnet ist. Die Gleitsohle ist hierbei an einem Zwischenträger befestigt. Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Staubsaugerdüse anzugeben, deren Bodengleitstück sich der Kontur des Untergrundes besser anpassen kann und dabei auch Kippbewegungen des Gehäuses, z.B. beim Saugen hochfloriger Teppichbeläge, ausgleichen kann.At one off EP 2 449 935 A1 known vacuum cleaner nozzle, the pivot axis of the Bodengleitstückes in the working direction is located slightly behind the suction mouth, but the bearing assembly due to the cramped space of a vacuum cleaner nozzle, however, directly to the body of the Bodengleitstückes is located. The angular range in which the Bodengleitstück can be pivoted is very limited. Also from the DE2364750 A1 known vacuum cleaner nozzle has a pivot axis of the Bodengleitstückes, which is arranged in the working direction behind the suction mouth. The sliding sole is attached to an intermediate carrier. Against this background, the invention has for its object to provide a vacuum cleaner nozzle whose Bodengleitstück can adapt better to the contour of the substrate and thereby also tilting movements of the housing, for example when sucking hochfloriger carpets, compensate.

Gegenstand der Erfindung und Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Staubsaugerdüse nach Anspruch 1.The object of the invention and solution of this problem is a vacuum cleaner nozzle according to claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Bodengleitstück als Schwinge ausgebildet und weist einen unterseitig offenen Körper auf, der an seiner Oberseite einen Auslass für Saugluft und an seiner Unterseite die Gleitfläche zur Auflage auf einer textilen Bodenfläche auf. Erfindungsgemäß sind an dem Körper seitlich abstehende Arme mit zylindrischen Lagerflächen zur schwenkbeweglichen Lagerung des Bodengleitstückes angeordnet. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung lässt sich auch in einer kompakten und platzsparenden Bauform ein besonders großer Versatz der Schwenkachse gegenüber dem Saugmund erzielen. Dadurch werden die Vorteile einer solchen Anordnung verstärkt. So kann auch ein großer vertikaler Hub durch eine Schwenkbewegung von einem geringen Winkel erzielt werden. Die Schwinge mit den seitlich abstehenden Armen kann insbesondere mehrteilig zusammengesetzt sein. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist die bodenseitige Fläche des Bodengleitstückes um ein durch Anschläge vorgegebenes Maß an der Unterseite der Staubsaugerdüse besonders weit ein- und ausschwenkbar, wobei die vertikale Bewegung der den Saugmund begrenzenden Saugmundkanten gleichsinnig erfolgt. Eine etwaige Schrägstellung der Staubsaugerdüse, die beispielsweise beim Saugen hochfloriger Teppiche oder Teppichböden auftreten kann, weil die Staubsaugerdüse rückseitig tiefer in den Teppichbelag einsinkt, kann durch die Ausgestaltung und Anordnung des Bodengleitstückes wirksam kompensiert werden. Die schwenkbewegliche Lagerung des Bodengleitstückes um eine Schwenkachse, die in Saugrichtung hinter dem Saugmund angeordnet ist, bewirkt, dass sich das Bodengleitstück unter der Wirkung eines im Saugmund herrschenden leichten Unterdrucks flächig zur Bodenfläche ausrichtet, und zwar unabhängig von der Ausrichtung der Unterseite der Staubsaugerdüse. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung und Anordnung des Bodengleitstückes wird auch erreicht, dass das Bodengleitstück beim Wechsel der Bewegungsrichtung der Staubsaugerdüse nicht mehr durchschwingt. Die Stellung des Bodengleitstückes ist nur noch in geringem Maße von der Bewegungsrichtung und überwiegend von der Beschaffenheit des Bodenbelages bestimmt.According to the Bodengleitstück is designed as a rocker and has a lower side open body, on its upper side an outlet for suction and on its underside the sliding surface for resting on a textile floor surface. According to the invention laterally projecting arms are arranged on the body with cylindrical bearing surfaces for pivotally mounting the Bodengleitstückes. Due to the configuration according to the invention, a particularly large offset of the pivot axis relative to the suction mouth can be achieved even in a compact and space-saving design. This enhances the advantages of such an arrangement. Thus, a large vertical stroke can be achieved by a pivoting movement of a small angle. The rocker with the laterally projecting arms can in particular be composed of several parts. In the arrangement according to the invention, the bottom-side surface of the Bodengleitstückes by a predetermined by stops measure on the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is particularly far on and swing out, wherein the vertical movement of the suction mouth bounding Saugmundkanten takes place in the same direction. A possible inclination of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which can occur, for example, when sucking high-pile carpets or carpets, because the vacuum cleaner nozzle sinks deeper back into the carpet, can be effectively compensated by the design and arrangement of Bodengleitstückes. The pivotable mounting of the Bodengleitstückes about a pivot axis, which is arranged in the suction direction behind the suction mouth, causes the Bodengleitstück aligns under the action of a prevailing in the suction slight negative pressure surface to the bottom surface, regardless of the orientation of the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle. Due to the inventive design and arrangement of Bodengleitstückes is also achieved that the Bodengleitstück not swing when changing the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle. The position of the Bodengleitstückes is determined only to a small extent by the direction of movement and mainly by the nature of the floor covering.

Die Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes ist zur Gleitfläche parallel versetzt und vorzugsweise oberhalb eines den Saugmund formenden Kanals angeordnet. Durch einen Höhenversatz der Schwenkachse gegenüber dem Niveau der Gleitfläche an der Unterseite des Bodengleitstückes ergibt sich in Verbindung mit dem Bewegungswiderstand des Bodengleitstückes bei einer Vorwärtsbewegung der Staubsaugerdüse ein Drehmoment um die Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes, welches die Anlage des Saugmundes auf der Bodenfläche unterstützt. Dadurch liegt das Bodengleitstück mit dem Saugmund besonders dicht an der Bodenfläche an und resultiert eine besonders gute Saugwirkung.The pivot axis of the Bodengleitstückes is offset parallel to the sliding surface and preferably disposed above a suction mouth forming channel. By a height offset of the pivot axis relative to the level of the sliding surface on the underside of Bodengleitstückes results in conjunction with the resistance of the Bodengleitstückes in a forward movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, a torque about the pivot axis of the Bodengleitstückes, which supports the system of Saugmund on the bottom surface. As a result, the Bodengleitstück with the suction mouth is particularly close to the bottom surface and results in a particularly good suction.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Arme paarweise angeordnete Stege auf, die an ihrem freien Ende durch einen Rundstab verbunden sind. Der Rundstab definiert die Schwenkachse und bildet eine Lagerfläche für die schwenkbewegliche Lagerung. Das Bodengleitstück kann kostengünstig als einstückiges Kunststoffteil ausgebildet sein.Preferably, the arms have pairs of webs, which are connected at their free end by a round rod. The round rod defines the pivot axis and forms a bearing surface for the pivotable mounting. The Bodengleitstück can be inexpensively formed as a one-piece plastic part.

Für einen universellen Einsatz sowohl auf textilen Bodenbelägen als auch auf Glattböden weist die Staubsaugerdüse zusätzlich einen Träger auf, der an seiner Unterseite mit mindestens einem Borstenstreifen und/oder mindestens einer Dichtungslippe ausgestattet ist und mittels eines Schaltelementes zwischen einer Teppichbodenstellung und einer Glattbodenstellung verstellbar ist. Das Schaltelement kann als Wippschalter ausgebildet sein und eine drehbar gelagerte Schaltwelle aufweisen, die auf eine Gegenfläche des Trägers wirkt und den Träger in der Glattbodenstellung des Schaltelementes in einer abgesenkten Position arretiert. Erfindungsgemäß ist der mit mindestens einem Borstenstreifen und/oder mindestens einer Dichtungslippe ausgestattete Träger um eine Achse schwenkbar gelagert, die in Arbeitsrichtung hinter der Schwenkachse des Bodengleitstückes angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise fluchtet die Achse des Trägers mit der Drehachse mindestens einer Laufrolle, die ein Gehäuse der Staubsaugerdüse rückseitig im Bereich der Kraftumleitung einer Schiebebewegung abstützt. Da sich die Laufrolle weit hinten am Gehäuse der Staubsaugerdüse befindet, wird ein großer Schwenkarm zwischen der Achse und der Position der an der Unterseite des Trägers angeordneten Trag- und Dichtungselementen realisiert. Der Vorteil eines erfindungsgemäß als Schwinge ausgebildeten Trägers ist, dass der Träger durch die zumindest einseitige Fixierung der Lagerstelle stabiler im Düsengehäuse angeordnet ist und seine Stützfunktion besser ausführen kann. Der als Schwinge gelagerte Träger verhindert wirksam, dass das Bodengleitstück beim Saugen von Glattböden mit der zu saugenden Bodenfläche in Kontakt kommt. Die Konstruktion nimmt eine Belastung des Düsengehäuses besser auf.For universal use both on textile floor coverings and on smooth floors, the vacuum cleaner nozzle additionally has a carrier which is equipped on its underside with at least one bristle strip and / or at least one sealing lip and is adjustable by means of a switching element between a carpet position and a smooth bottom position. The switching element may be formed as a rocker switch and having a rotatably mounted switching shaft which acts on a counter surface of the carrier and locks the carrier in the smooth bottom position of the switching element in a lowered position. According to the invention, the carrier equipped with at least one bristle strip and / or at least one sealing lip is pivotably mounted about an axis which is arranged in the working direction behind the pivot axis of the bottom sliding piece. Preferably, the axis of the carrier is aligned with the axis of rotation of at least one roller, which supports a housing of the vacuum cleaner nozzle at the rear in the region of the force redirection of a sliding movement. Since the roller is located far back on the housing of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, a large pivot arm between the axis and the position of the arranged at the bottom of the carrier support and sealing elements is realized. The advantage of a carrier designed according to the invention as a rocker is that the carrier is arranged more stable in the nozzle housing by the at least one-sided fixation of the bearing point and can perform its support function better. The mounted as a rocker carrier effectively prevents the Bodengleitstück comes when sucking smooth floors in contact with the bottom surface to be sucked. The design better absorbs stress on the nozzle housing.

Das als Schwinge ausgebildete Bodengleitstück ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung in der Glattbodenstellung arretierbar. Durch eine Arretierung des Bodengleitstückes in der Glattbodenstellung wird sichergestellt, dass das Bodengleitstück beim Saugen von Glattböden unabhängig von den durch das Saugrohr eingeleiteten Kräften nicht mit dem Boden in Kontakt kommt und diesen mechanisch beschädigen kann. Zum Reinigen von textilen Bodenbelägen wird der mit einem Borstenstreifen und/oder einer Dichtungslippe versehene Träger durch eine Betätigung des Schaltelementes angehoben, so dass das Bodengleitstück auf der textilen Bodenfläche aufliegt. In dieser Teppichbodenstellung ist das Bodengleitstück um seine Schwenkachse kippbeweglich.Trained as a rocker Bodengleitstück is locked according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in the smooth bottom position. By locking the Bodengleitstückes in the smooth bottom position ensures that the Bodengleitstück when sucking smooth floors regardless of the forces introduced by the suction pipe do not come into contact with the ground and can damage it mechanically. For cleaning textile floor coverings, the support provided with a bristle strip and / or a sealing lip is raised by an actuation of the switching element, so that the floor sliding piece rests on the textile floor surface. In this carpet position, the Bodengleitstück is tiltable about its pivot axis.

Den Funktionshebeln 19 sind Sperrhebel 12 der Schaltwelle 11 zugeordnet. Das Zusammenwirken des an der Schaltwelle 11 angeordneten Sperrhebels 12 mit dem Funktionshebel 19 des Bodengleitstückes 4 wird aus einer vergleichenden Betrachtung der Fig. 1 und 2 deutlich. In der Teppichbodenstellung (Fig. 1) ist das Bodengleitstück 4 zwischen nicht dargestellten Anschlägen frei verschwenkbar. Beim Übergang zu der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Glattbodenstellung schränkt der Sperrhebel 12 den maximalen Ausschwenkwinkel immer weiter ein, bis das Bodengleitstück 4 beim Erreichen der Glattbodenstellung auf die maximal eingeschwenkte Position beschränkt ist. In der Glattbodenstellung ist das Bodengleitstück 4 in das Gehäuse eingeschwenkt. Es liegt mit den in Fig. 3 dargestellten Schultern 20 an der Unterkante des Gehäuses 1 an und ist durch den Sperrhebel 12 arretiert.As shown in Fig. 3 The bottom sliding piece 4 has functional levers 19, which are arranged on the protruding arms 16 near the pivot axis 5. The function levers 19 locking lever 12 of the shift shaft 11 are assigned. The interaction of the arranged on the shift shaft 11 locking lever 12 with the functional lever 19 of the Bodengleitstückes 4 is from a comparative analysis of Fig. 1 and 2 clear. In the carpet position ( Fig. 1 ) is the Bodengleitstück 4 freely pivotable between stops not shown. At the transition to the in Fig. 2 Flat bottom position shown, the locking lever 12 limits the maximum Ausschwenkwinkel more and more until the Bodengleitstück 4 is limited when reaching the smooth bottom position to the maximum pivoted position. In the smooth bottom position the Bodengleitstück 4 is pivoted into the housing. It lies with the in Fig. 3 shown shoulders 20 at the lower edge of the housing 1 and is locked by the locking lever 12.
