Definitions
- the invention relates to an extraction and suction nozzle for a hand-held suction device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a hand-held suction device with such an extraction and suction nozzle.
- Generic pull-off and suction nozzles and associated hand-held suction devices are from the DE 10 2012 104 102 A1 known. They are intended to be attached to a portable hand-held suction device, which can be held in the hand of a user when used as intended, for sucking up liquids or liquid / air mixtures from flat surfaces, in particular window surfaces, tables or similar vertical, inclined or horizontal surfaces.
- the extraction and suction nozzles have a suction channel connection and a nozzle body which has at least one extraction lip, which is movable in a extraction direction along the surface for extraction of liquid, and at least one suction gap, arranged in the area of a liquid collecting side of the extraction lip, for sucking in the one in front of the extraction lip having accumulated liquid in a suction chamber which is fluidically connected to the suction channel connection.
- the nozzle body is designed in two parts with a device-side support body having the suction channel connection and a suction body having the pull-off lip and the suction gap.
- the support body is arranged at a distance from the pull-off lip and in front of the pull-off lip when viewed in the pull-off direction and, with a support surface, forms a support for supporting on the surface.
- the suction body is pivotably connected to the connection body and rotatable via a hinge about an axis of rotation that runs parallel to the contact edge of the pull-off lip on the surface to be suctioned off, counter to the force of a spring means which, when the support is in contact with the surface to be suctioned off, adjusts the pull-off lip on the surface .
- An extraction and suction nozzle for a hand-held suction device and a hand-held suction device are also from the US 2011 138 554 A1 known.
- This well-known extraction and suction nozzle is part of a mobile suction device designed as a suction device for sucking up liquids.
- a preferred application of such suction devices is the removal of window surfaces after moistening while simultaneously sucking up the removed liquid.
- This from the US 2011 138 554 A1 known hand-held suction device has a pivotable mounting of the extraction and suction nozzle around a central position, with a return spring which is initially tensioned against the surface to be vacuumed as a result of the contact pressure of the extraction lip and returns the extraction and suction nozzle to the starting position after this pressure has been removed, is provided.
- the invention is not limited to liquid suction devices or window pullers, it can be used in connection with all forms of hand-held suction devices, whereby in the preferred application a hand-held suction device is understood to be a device that is battery-operated and so small that it can be gripped with one hand and can be guided along the surface.
- the above-mentioned pull-off and suction nozzles and the associated hand-held suction devices are well suited to collecting and sucking up liquids, but have the disadvantage that, depending on the orientation of the hand-held suction device, the pull-off lip is placed against the surface with a different pressure and angle, which results in different Pulling results, especially streaking or streaking or similar problems. Furthermore, a defined contact pressure can be applied via the swiveling pull-off and suction nozzle, but suction is not always optimal, as the user has to set the optimal angle for adjusting the pull-off lip by attaching the device by orienting the hand-held suction device accordingly. This is particularly disadvantageous when corners or edges of the surface to be peeled off are reached or when the device is used with an extension rod, which makes handling the device more complex and difficult.
- a mechanical extractor in which liquid can be withdrawn from a surface without a suction function.
- This puller has a spring-loaded contact roller by means of which it is able to support itself on the surface to be extracted in addition to the puller lip.
- This contact roller makes it easier to guide the puller, but has the disadvantage that the area between the contact roller and the pull-off lip can only be pulled off with difficulty when the contact roller hits the frame at the lower edge of a window.
- suction nozzles and hand-held suction devices are also available WO 2014/009672 A1 , the WO 2016/029966 A1 , the EP 2 992 799 A1 and the US 2012/0266923 A1 known. All these suction nozzles are only slightly mobile relative to the hand-held suction device to which they are to be attached - if at all - and therefore have too little mobility to be able to use the device easily in corners and edges with optimal removal and suction results .
- an extraction and suction nozzle for a hand-held suction device in which an optimal cleaning effect is made possible by making it easier to position the device on the surface to be suctioned.
- a further object is to create a hand-held suction device that can be used with such an extraction and suction nozzle.
- the extraction and suction nozzle is divided into two parts: a support body that can be firmly connected to the suction nozzle and thus to the hand-held suction device, and a suction body that is hingedly connected to it.
- a support body that can be firmly connected to the suction nozzle and thus to the hand-held suction device
- a suction body that is hingedly connected to it.
- the pull-off lip and the suction gap for sucking in the suction material in the form of liquids or a mixture of liquids with dirt and / or air fractions are provided.
- the support is firmly positioned relative to the suction channel connection, so that a pressure force of the user applied via the generally cylindrical suction channel when pressing the extraction and suction nozzle against the surface to be extracted is always present is directed towards the support surface, so this can absorb the force.
- the optimum angle for placing the pull-off lip on the surface to be vacuumed can now be easily found, as the support surface creates a defined position.
- This support surface ensures that, together with the pull-off lip, there is a double line pressure or a combination of a line pressure in the area of the pull-off lip with one or more points at which the support surface is supported on the surface. This fixes the angle of the pull-off lip relative to the surface to be vacuumed and the user can easily move the device parallel to the surface to be vacuumed.
- the extraction lip can be applied with the pressure of the spring force to the one to be withdrawn Create area. This means that regardless of the compressive force of the user, which is essentially absorbed by the support surface, the pull-off lip is always pressed with the same force against the surface to be pulled off. A reproducible work result is thus achieved and an excessively increased contact pressure is avoided.
- the user can continue to support the device on the guide surface and does not have to find the optimal angle on his own in order to be able to get into the corners. This is particularly interesting when working overhead or with devices that are operated at the end of a telescopic or extension pole.
- the guide surface is arranged on the side of the support surface opposite the pull-off lip. As the distance from the support surface increases, it moves further and further away from the plane of the surface to be vacuumed, so that an inclined plane or a rounded surface is created that ensures that the device with this surface first rests on the edge or corner and then is lifted by the sliding of the guide surface on the edge. The user does not hit an edge with the device and then has to start his suction movement again but is continued continuously so that the suction of the corner areas or edge areas is facilitated.
- the support surface is preferably formed by a rotatable component which enables the support surface to roll over the surface to be suctioned off.
- This can be a ball, a roller or several wheels. It is only important that the support surface or the support surfaces are provided at a distance from the pull-off lip in order to enable the hand-held suction device to be aligned.
- the guide surface can also be designed largely as desired, it can be formed by the housing of the extraction and suction nozzle itself or also be formed by cams which, for example, protrude downward from the lower edge of the housing.
- the guide surface is preferably rounded, so that there is a continuous, shock-free lifting movement as a result of the guide.
- the extraction and suction nozzle is preferably mounted movably against a spring means.
- This has the advantage that the mounting ensures a defined contact pressure even with minor nodding movements by the user.
- This movement of the extraction and suction nozzle can be used to operate the device.
- the contact pressure can be determined via a pressure sensor, so that as a result of this pressure increase the motor is increased in performance or is switched on at all, the angle of the extraction and suction nozzle relative to the hand-held suction device can also be recorded and as a switching signal for the control of the motor of the hand-held suction device.
- the suction body of the extraction and suction nozzle is pivotably or rotatably connected to the support body via a joint, which in turn is attached to or inserted into the suction channel connection, which usually has the shape of a nozzle.
- the suction channel extends from the hand-held suction device through this suction channel connection into a suction chamber in the housing of the suction body through the support body and preferably also through the joint, the suction chamber in the suction body in turn being fluidically connected to the suction gap that is provided adjacent to the suction lip.
- the joint can be a ball joint through which the flow channel passes.
- the flow channel can also be designed to be elastic and, for example, have the shape of a hose or elastic tube, while the extraction and suction nozzle can be mounted on the suction channel connection via a separate joint. It is also possible to mount the complete extraction and suction nozzle on the hand-held suction device via a joint.
- the joint in turn, can be a crank arm or a bearing block which, for example, supports a hollow cylindrical part of the suction chamber on both sides.
- the rotary movement or pivoting movement of the extraction and suction nozzle relative to the stationary part of the hand-held suction device is preferably limited by stops.
- a damper element can be provided that dampens the pivoting movement of the extraction and suction nozzle either via a friction damping of the joint or a separate shock absorber-like design.
- the spring in turn, which returns the extraction and suction nozzle to its original position, can be one in the joint provided spring or be formed by a separate spring.
- the spring effect can also be implemented via the elastic material properties of the suction channel wall or other areas of the extraction and suction nozzle.
- any indicator means can be used that can signal to the user that the two surfaces are in contact with the surface to be suctioned or that this contact is absent.
- a control that shuts down or switches off the suction unit when pressure sensors on the support surface determine that it is not in contact with the surface to be canceled can extend the standby time of the device and save energy.
- any other sensor system can of course also be used, including a load sensor for the motor of the suction unit, which can directly or indirectly detect a flow resistance in the suction channel or in the area of the suction unit.
- FIG. 1 an extraction and suction nozzle according to the invention is shown, which has a nozzle body 1 with a pull-off lip 2 and a rubber strip arranged to the right of it, which together with the pull-off lip 2 delimits the suction gap 4.
- the nozzle body 1 is composed of a support body, which is stationary relative to the hand-held suction device 7 when the extraction and suction nozzle is installed, and a suction body with the extraction lip 2 that can pivot about a hinge 10. Via the suction gap 4 in the suction body, liquid that collects in front of the pull lip 2 when the puller and suction nozzle moves to the right can be sucked into the suction channel 6.
- the nozzle body 1 in turn, can be connected to a hand-held suction device 7, not shown here, via a suction channel connection 5.
- the housing of the nozzle body 1 has an inner suction chamber 12 in which the negative pressure of the suction unit of the hand-held suction device 7, which is preferably operated by an electric motor, is provided.
- a hand-held suction device 7 is shown that in connection with the in Figure 1 shown extraction and suction nozzle can be used.
- the device-side part of the joint 10 can be seen, via which the hand-held suction device 7 can be connected in an articulated manner to the extraction and suction nozzle.
- the extraction and suction nozzle mounted on the hand-held suction device 7 is shown in Figure 4 and in Figure 5 shown. It extends with the suction channel 6 of the suction connection 5 into the hand-held suction device 7, so that the suction gap 4 is in flow connection with the suction unit of the hand-held suction device 7.
- the extraction and suction nozzle 2 is mounted pivotably against the force of a return spring, stops that are not visible here limit the pivoting movement.
- the battery which supplies the motor of the hand-held suction device 7 used as the suction unit, is preferably arranged in the handle of the hand-held suction device 7, since this results in a favorable weight distribution.
- the lower part of the handle 7 can be designed as a plug-in sleeve for inserting an extension or telescopic rod.
- the function of the extraction and suction nozzle according to the invention is shown most clearly in FIGS.
- the extraction and suction nozzle has a support surface 8, which is designed here in the form of rollers.
- the running surface of the roller thus forms the support surface 8 which, together with the contact surface of the pull-off lip 2, defines the orientation of the pull-off and suction nozzle relative to the surface 3 to be suctioned off. Since the extraction and suction nozzle can be pivoted against the spring force of the spring means 11, regardless of the orientation in which the user presses the device against the surface 3 to be extracted, the extraction and suction nozzle can take the optimal position in each case.
- the suction gap 4 is closed by the pull-off lip 2 and a rubber strip arranged underneath, so that an optimal suction effect results in the suction chamber 12 of the pull-off and suction nozzle.
- the suction chamber 12 is in turn connected via the suction channel connection 5 to an inner suction device which is not shown in detail here and which interacts with the suction unit of the hand-held suction device 7.
- the support surface 8 or the roller carrying this surface would hit the window frame and prevent the pull-off lip 2 from moving further into the corner.
- the user has to swivel the device by hand, which on the one hand can lead to overstretching of the pull-off lip 2 or that the rear boundary of the suction gap 4 lifts off the window surface and on the other hand, the suction effect can be impaired by the inhomogeneous movement.
- the guide surface 9 is provided so that this corner area can also be sucked out easily and simply by a homogeneous continuation of the movement of the hand-held suction device 7 in the corner area.
- This is designed here in the form of a bell-shaped edge of the housing of the nozzle body 1 that extends downwards. As shown, this cam-like area causes the pull-off and suction nozzle slightly rotated so that the support surface 8 lifts off the surface 3 to be vacuumed and is guided over the edge of the window frame.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Handsauggerät mit einer solchen Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se.The invention relates to an extraction and suction nozzle for a hand-held suction device according to the preamble of
GattungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼sen sowie zugehörige Handsauggeräte sind aus der
Die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼sen weisen einen Saugkanalanschluss und einen DĂ¼senkörper auf, der zumindest eine Abziehlippe, die entlang der Fläche zum Abziehen von FlĂ¼ssigkeit in eine Abziehrichtung beweglich ist, und zumindest einen, im Bereich einer FlĂ¼ssigkeitssammelseite der Abziehlippe angeordneten Ansaugspalt zum Ansaugen der vor der Abziehlippe angesammelten FlĂ¼ssigkeit in eine mit dem Saugkanalanschluss strömungstechnisch in Verbindung stehende Ansaugkammer aufweist. Der DĂ¼senkörper ist dabei zweiteilig mit einem den Saugkanalanschluss aufweisenden geräteseitigen StĂ¼tzkörper und einem die Abziehlippe und den Ansaugspalt aufweisenden Saugkörper ausgebildet. Der StĂ¼tzkörper ist im Abstand zur Abziehlippe und in Abziehrichtung gesehen vor der Abziehlippe angeordnet und bildet mit einer StĂ¼tzfläche eine StĂ¼tze zum AbstĂ¼tzen auf der Fläche. Der Saugkörper ist mit dem Anschlusskörper schwenkbar verbunden und Ă¼ber ein Gelenk um eine Drehachse, die zur Anlagekante der Abziehlippe an der abzusaugenden Fläche parallel verläuft, gegen die Kraft eines Federmittels drehbar, das bei Anliegen der StĂ¼tze an der abzusaugenden Fläche die Abziehlippe an die Fläche anstellt.The extraction and suction nozzles have a suction channel connection and a nozzle body which has at least one extraction lip, which is movable in a extraction direction along the surface for extraction of liquid, and at least one suction gap, arranged in the area of a liquid collecting side of the extraction lip, for sucking in the one in front of the extraction lip having accumulated liquid in a suction chamber which is fluidically connected to the suction channel connection. The nozzle body is designed in two parts with a device-side support body having the suction channel connection and a suction body having the pull-off lip and the suction gap. The support body is arranged at a distance from the pull-off lip and in front of the pull-off lip when viewed in the pull-off direction and, with a support surface, forms a support for supporting on the surface. The suction body is pivotably connected to the connection body and rotatable via a hinge about an axis of rotation that runs parallel to the contact edge of the pull-off lip on the surface to be suctioned off, counter to the force of a spring means which, when the support is in contact with the surface to be suctioned off, adjusts the pull-off lip on the surface .

Grundsätzlich ist die Erfindung allerdings nicht auf FlĂ¼ssigkeitssauggeräte oder Fensterabzieher beschränkt, sie kann in Verbindung mit allen Formen von Handsauggeräten verwendet werden, wobei bei der bevorzugten Anwendung unter Handsauggerät ein Gerät verstanden wird, das batteriebetrieben ist und so klein ist, dass es mit einer Hand gegriffen und entlang der Fläche gefĂ¼hrt werden kann.In principle, however, the invention is not limited to liquid suction devices or window pullers, it can be used in connection with all forms of hand-held suction devices, whereby in the preferred application a hand-held suction device is understood to be a device that is battery-operated and so small that it can be gripped with one hand and can be guided along the surface.
Aus der
Die oben genannten Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼sen und die zugehörigen Handsauggeräte sind zwar gut geeignete, FlĂ¼ssigkeiten zu sammeln und aufzusaugen, haben aber den Nachteil, dass je nach Orientierung des Handsauggerätes die Abziehlippe mit einem unterschiedlichen Druck und Winkel an die Fläche angestellt wird, was zu unterschiedlichen Abziehergebnissen, insbesondere Streifen- oder Schlierenbildung oder ähnlichen Problemen fĂ¼hren kann. Ferner kann zwar Ă¼ber die schwenkbare Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se ein definierter Anpressdruck aufgebracht werden, das Absaugen erfolgt allerdings nicht immer optimal, da der Benutzer den optimalen Winkel zum Anstellen der Abziehlippe durch das Ansetzen des Gerätes durch entsprechende Orientierung des Handsauggerätes selbst einstellen muss. Dies ist insbesondere dann nachteilig, wenn Ecken oder Ränder der abzuziehenden Fläche erreicht werden oder wenn das Gerät mit einer Verlängerungsstange benutzt wird, was das Handling des Gerätes aufwändiger und schwieriger macht.The above-mentioned pull-off and suction nozzles and the associated hand-held suction devices are well suited to collecting and sucking up liquids, but have the disadvantage that, depending on the orientation of the hand-held suction device, the pull-off lip is placed against the surface with a different pressure and angle, which results in different Pulling results, especially streaking or streaking or similar problems. Furthermore, a defined contact pressure can be applied via the swiveling pull-off and suction nozzle, but suction is not always optimal, as the user has to set the optimal angle for adjusting the pull-off lip by attaching the device by orienting the hand-held suction device accordingly. This is particularly disadvantageous when corners or edges of the surface to be peeled off are reached or when the device is used with an extension rod, which makes handling the device more complex and difficult.

Angesichts der Nachteile des oben genannten Standes der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se fĂ¼r ein Handsauggerät, bei dem eine optimale Reinigungswirkung durch eine Erleichterung der Anstellung des Gerätes an die abzusaugende Fläche ermöglicht ist. Eine weitere Aufgabe ist es, ein und ein Handsauggerät zu schaffen, dass mit einer solchen Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se verwendbar ist.In view of the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art, it is the object of the invention to provide an extraction and suction nozzle for a hand-held suction device in which an optimal cleaning effect is made possible by making it easier to position the device on the surface to be suctioned. A further object is to create a hand-held suction device that can be used with such an extraction and suction nozzle.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung hinsichtlich der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se durch eine Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Hinsichtlich des Handsauggeräts wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Handsauggerät nach Anspruch 11 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with regard to the extraction and suction nozzle by a extraction and suction nozzle according to
ErfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸ ist die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se zweigeteilt: Ein fest mit dem Ansaugstutzen und damit mit dem Handsauggerät verbindbarer StĂ¼tzkörper und einen hiermit gelenkig verbundenen Saugkörper. An letzterem sind die Abziehlippe und der Ansaugspalt zum Ansaugen des Sauggutes in Form von FlĂ¼ssigkeiten oder eines Gemisches von FlĂ¼ssigkeiten mit Schmutz und/oder Luftanteilen vorgesehen. Die StĂ¼tze ist dabei relativ zum Saugkanalanschluss fest positioniert, so dass eine Ă¼ber den in der Regel zylindrischen Saugkanal aufgebrachte Druckkraft des Benutzers beim AndrĂ¼cken der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se an die abzuziehende Fläche immer in Richtung StĂ¼tzfläche gerichtet ist, diese also die Kraft aufnehmen kann. Hierdurch wird der Saukörper von dieser Druckkraft entlastet, wobei der drehbar am StĂ¼tzkörper gelagerte Saugkörper durch die Federkraft in Richtung der abzuziehenden Fläche angestellt ist, so dass sich die Abziehlippe mit gleichbleibendem Druck - unabhängig von der Druckkraft des Benutzers oder der Orientierung des Geräte relativ zur Fläche, an die Fläche anlegt.According to the invention, the extraction and suction nozzle is divided into two parts: a support body that can be firmly connected to the suction nozzle and thus to the hand-held suction device, and a suction body that is hingedly connected to it. On the latter, the pull-off lip and the suction gap for sucking in the suction material in the form of liquids or a mixture of liquids with dirt and / or air fractions are provided. The support is firmly positioned relative to the suction channel connection, so that a pressure force of the user applied via the generally cylindrical suction channel when pressing the extraction and suction nozzle against the surface to be extracted is always present is directed towards the support surface, so this can absorb the force. This relieves the suction body of this pressure force, the absorbent body rotatably mounted on the support body being adjusted by the spring force in the direction of the surface to be pulled off, so that the pull-off lip moves with constant pressure - regardless of the pressure force of the user or the orientation of the device relative to the surface , applies to the surface.
Durch die neue Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se fĂ¼r das Handsauggerät und das neue Handsauggerät kann nun der optimale Winkel zum Anstellen der Abziehlippe an die abzusaugende Fläche leicht gefunden werden, da sich eine definierte Lage durch die StĂ¼tzfläche ergibt. Diese StĂ¼tzfläche sorgt dafĂ¼r, dass zusammen mit der Abziehlippe eine doppelte Linienpressung oder eine Kombination einer Linienpressung im Bereich der Abziehlippe mit einer oder mehreren Punkten, an denen sich die StĂ¼tzfläche auf der Fläche abstĂ¼tzt, vorliegt. Hierdurch wird der Winkel der Abziehlippe relativ zur abzusaugenden Fläche festgelegt und der Benutzer kann das Gerät leicht parallel zur abzusaugenden Fläche verfahren.With the new pull-off and suction nozzle for the hand-held suction device and the new hand-held suction device, the optimum angle for placing the pull-off lip on the surface to be vacuumed can now be easily found, as the support surface creates a defined position. This support surface ensures that, together with the pull-off lip, there is a double line pressure or a combination of a line pressure in the area of the pull-off lip with one or more points at which the support surface is supported on the surface. This fixes the angle of the pull-off lip relative to the surface to be vacuumed and the user can easily move the device parallel to the surface to be vacuumed.
Dadurch, dass nun die Andruckkraft des Benutzers auf das Handsauggerät durch die StĂ¼tzfläche und bevorzugt auch durch die Drehachse verläuft und gleichzeitig die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se um diese Drehachse gegen die Federkraft drehbar gelagert ist, kann sich die Abziehlippe mit dem Druck der Federkraft an die abzuziehende Fläche anlegen. Dies bedeutet, dass unabhängig von der Druckkraft des Benutzers, die im Wesentlichen von der StĂ¼tzfläche aufgenommen wird, die Abziehlippe immer mit der gleichen Kraft gegen die abzuziehende Fläche gedrĂ¼ckt wird. Damit wird ein reproduzierbares Arbeitsergebnis erreicht und ein zu stark erhöhter Anpressdruck wird vermieden.Because the pressure of the user on the hand-held suction device now runs through the support surface and preferably also through the axis of rotation and at the same time the extraction and suction nozzle is rotatably mounted about this axis of rotation against the spring force, the extraction lip can be applied with the pressure of the spring force to the one to be withdrawn Create area. This means that regardless of the compressive force of the user, which is essentially absorbed by the support surface, the pull-off lip is always pressed with the same force against the surface to be pulled off. A reproducible work result is thus achieved and an excessively increased contact pressure is avoided.
Oft hat der der Benutzer das Problem, dass er in den Ecken oder an Kanten nicht kontinuierlich Abziehen kann, da Ränder des Fensterrahmens oder der Boden die Bewegung des Handsauggerätes behindern. Die fĂ¼hrt dazu, dass ein Bereich zwischen der StĂ¼tzfläche und der Abziehlippe nicht mehr optimal abgezogen oder abgesaugt werden kann. Damit dieses Problem vermindert wird, mĂ¼sste der Benutzer das Gerät bei Erreichen des Fensterrahmens hinten anheben um in den Kanten- oder Eckenbereich hinein zu gelangen. Dies wird nunmehr bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung dadurch vereinfacht, dass eine besondere FĂ¼hrungsfläche vorgesehen ist, die automatisch das Gerät anhebt, so dass die StĂ¼tzfläche von der abzusaugenden Fläche abhebt und Ă¼ber die Kante bzw. die Ecke gefĂ¼hrt wird. Der Benutzer kann so das Gerät auf der FĂ¼hrungsfläche weiter abstĂ¼tzen und muss nicht eigenständig den Optimalen Winkel finden, um in die Ecken gelangen zu können. Dies ist insbesondere bei Ăœberkopfarbeit oder bei Geräten interessant, die am Ende einer Teleskop- oder Verlängerungsstange betrieben werden.The user often has the problem that he cannot pull off continuously in the corners or on the edges, since the edges of the window frame or the floor hinder the movement of the hand-held suction device. This means that an area between the support surface and the pull-off lip can no longer be optimally pulled off or sucked off. In order to reduce this problem, the user would have to lift the device at the rear when reaching the window frame in order to get into the edge or corner area. This is now simplified in a preferred development of the invention in that a special guide surface is provided that automatically lifts the device so that the support surface lifts off the surface to be vacuumed and is guided over the edge or corner. In this way, the user can continue to support the device on the guide surface and does not have to find the optimal angle on his own in order to be able to get into the corners. This is particularly interesting when working overhead or with devices that are operated at the end of a telescopic or extension pole.
Um die oben genannte Funktion zu realisieren, ist die FĂ¼hrungsfläche auf der, der Abziehlippe gegenĂ¼ber liegenden Seite der StĂ¼tzfläche angeordnet. Sie entfernt sich mit zunehmenden Abstand von der StĂ¼tzfläche immer weiter von der Ebene der abzusaugenden Fläche, so dass eine schiefe Ebene oder eine gerundete Fläche entsteht, die dafĂ¼r Sorge trägt, dass das Gerät mit dieser Fläche zunächst auf der Kante bzw. Ecke aufsitzt und dann durch das Abgleiten der FĂ¼hrungsfläche auf dem Rand angehoben wird. Der Benutzer stĂ¶ĂŸt also mit dem Gerät nicht gegen eine Kante und muss dann seine Saugbewegung neu ansetzen sondern wird kontinuierlich weitergefĂ¼hrt, so dass das Absaugen der Eckbereiche bzw. Kantenbereiche erleichtert wird.In order to realize the above-mentioned function, the guide surface is arranged on the side of the support surface opposite the pull-off lip. As the distance from the support surface increases, it moves further and further away from the plane of the surface to be vacuumed, so that an inclined plane or a rounded surface is created that ensures that the device with this surface first rests on the edge or corner and then is lifted by the sliding of the guide surface on the edge. The user does not hit an edge with the device and then has to start his suction movement again but is continued continuously so that the suction of the corner areas or edge areas is facilitated.
Die StĂ¼tzfläche wird bevorzugt von einem drehbaren Bauteil gebildet, das ein Abrollen der StĂ¼tzfläche auf der abzusaugenden Fläche ermöglicht. Dies können eine Kugel, eine Walze oder auch mehrere Räder sein. Wichtig ist lediglich, dass die StĂ¼tzfläche bzw. die StĂ¼tzflächen im Abstand zur Abziehlippe vorgesehen sind, um eine Ausrichtung des Handsauggerätes zu ermöglichen. Auch die FĂ¼hrungsfläche kann weitgehend beliebig gestaltet werden, sie kann vom Gehäuse der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se selbst gebildet sein oder auch von Nocken gebildet sein, die beispielsweise vom unteren Rand des Gehäuses nach unten hervorspringen. Bevorzugt ist die FĂ¼hrungsfläche gerundet, so dass sich eine kontinuierliche, stoĂŸfreie Abhebebewegung infolge der FĂ¼hrung ergibt.The support surface is preferably formed by a rotatable component which enables the support surface to roll over the surface to be suctioned off. This can be a ball, a roller or several wheels. It is only important that the support surface or the support surfaces are provided at a distance from the pull-off lip in order to enable the hand-held suction device to be aligned. The guide surface can also be designed largely as desired, it can be formed by the housing of the extraction and suction nozzle itself or also be formed by cams which, for example, protrude downward from the lower edge of the housing. The guide surface is preferably rounded, so that there is a continuous, shock-free lifting movement as a result of the guide.
Nachfolgend werden besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se sowie des Handsauggerätes beschrieben, die auch unabhängig von dem Vorsehen der StĂ¼tzfläche und der FĂ¼hrungsfläche das Gerät vorteilhaft weiterbilden und eine selbstständige Erfindung darstellen können.Particularly preferred embodiments of the extraction and suction nozzle and of the hand-held suction device are described below, which can also advantageously develop the device independently of the provision of the support surface and the guide surface and represent an independent invention.
Bevorzugt ist, wie auch schon beim Stand der Technik, die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se beweglich gegen ein Federmittel gelagert. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Lagerung einen definierten Anpressdruck auch bei kleineren Nickbewegungen des Anwenders sicherstellt. Diese Bewegung der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se kann genutzt werden, um das Gerät zu bedienen. Während zum einen der Anpressdruck Ă¼ber einen Drucksensor ermittelt werden kann, so dass infolge dieser Druckerhöhung der Motor in der Leistung erhöht wird oder Ă¼berhaupt erst eingeschaltet wird, kann auch der Winkel der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se relativ zum Handsauggerät erfasst werden und als Schaltungssignal fĂ¼r die Steuerung des Motors des Handsauggerätes genutzt werden.As in the prior art, the extraction and suction nozzle is preferably mounted movably against a spring means. This has the advantage that the mounting ensures a defined contact pressure even with minor nodding movements by the user. This movement of the extraction and suction nozzle can be used to operate the device. While, on the one hand, the contact pressure can be determined via a pressure sensor, so that as a result of this pressure increase the motor is increased in performance or is switched on at all, the angle of the extraction and suction nozzle relative to the hand-held suction device can also be recorded and as a switching signal for the control of the motor of the hand-held suction device.
Der Saugkörper der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se ist Ă¼ber ein Gelenk schwenk- oder drehbar mit dem StĂ¼tzkörper verbunden, der wiederum seinerseits an dem Saugkanalanschluss, der Ă¼blicherweise die Form eines Stutzens aufweist, befestigt ist bzw. in diesen eingesteckt ist. Der Saugkanal erstreckt sich dabei von dem Handsauggerät durch diesen Saugkanalanschluss in eine Ansaugkammer im Gehäuse des Saugkörpers durch den StĂ¼tzkörper und bevorzugt auch durch das Gelenk, wobei die Saugkammer im Ansaugkörper wiederum strömungstechnisch mit dem Ansaugspalt, der benachbart zur Ansauglippe vorgesehen ist, verbunden ist.The suction body of the extraction and suction nozzle is pivotably or rotatably connected to the support body via a joint, which in turn is attached to or inserted into the suction channel connection, which usually has the shape of a nozzle. The suction channel extends from the hand-held suction device through this suction channel connection into a suction chamber in the housing of the suction body through the support body and preferably also through the joint, the suction chamber in the suction body in turn being fluidically connected to the suction gap that is provided adjacent to the suction lip.
Das Gelenk kann ein Kugelgelenk sein, das von dem Strömungskanal durchsetzt ist. Alternativ kann der Strömungskanal auch elastisch ausgebildet sein und zum Beispiel die Form eines Schlauches oder elastischen Rohres aufweisen, während die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se Ă¼ber ein separates Gelenk an dem Saugkanalanschluss gelagert sein kann. Auch eine Lagerung der vollständigen Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se am Handsauggerät Ă¼ber ein Gelenk ist möglich. Das Gelenk wiederum kann eine Kurbelschwinge oder auch ein Lagerbock sein, der zum Beispiel einen hohlzylindrischen Teil der Ansaugkammer beidseitig lagert.The joint can be a ball joint through which the flow channel passes. Alternatively, the flow channel can also be designed to be elastic and, for example, have the shape of a hose or elastic tube, while the extraction and suction nozzle can be mounted on the suction channel connection via a separate joint. It is also possible to mount the complete extraction and suction nozzle on the hand-held suction device via a joint. The joint, in turn, can be a crank arm or a bearing block which, for example, supports a hollow cylindrical part of the suction chamber on both sides.
Die Drehbewegung bzw. Schwenkbewegung der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se relativ zum feststehenden Teil des Handsauggerätes ist bevorzugt Ă¼ber Anschläge begrenzt. Ferner kann ein Dämpferelement vorgesehen sein, dass entweder Ă¼ber eine Reibungsdämpfung des Gelenkes oder eine stoĂŸdämpferartige separate Ausgestaltung die Schwenkbewegung der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se dämpft. Die Feder wiederum, die die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se in die Ausgangsposition zurĂ¼ck stellt, kann eine im Gelenk vorgesehene Feder sein oder auch von einer separaten Feder gebildet sein. Ferner kann die Federwirkung auch Ă¼ber die elastischen Materialeigenschaften der Saugkanalwandung oder sonstiger Bereiche der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se realisiert werden.The rotary movement or pivoting movement of the extraction and suction nozzle relative to the stationary part of the hand-held suction device is preferably limited by stops. Furthermore, a damper element can be provided that dampens the pivoting movement of the extraction and suction nozzle either via a friction damping of the joint or a separate shock absorber-like design. The spring, in turn, which returns the extraction and suction nozzle to its original position, can be one in the joint provided spring or be formed by a separate spring. Furthermore, the spring effect can also be implemented via the elastic material properties of the suction channel wall or other areas of the extraction and suction nozzle.
SchlieĂŸlich ist es möglich, dem Benutzer Ă¼ber eine optische Kontrolle anzuzeigen, ob die StĂ¼tzfläche und die Abziehlippe an der abzusaugenden Fläche anliegen. Hierzu sind entsprechende Sensoren vorgesehen, die zum Beispiel eine Signallampe steuern. Auch ein akustisches Signal, das beispielsweise bei laufendem Motor ohne Kontakt der StĂ¼tzfläche und der Abziehlippe zu einer Fläche ertönt, ist möglich. Letztlich kann jedes Indikatormittel verwendet werden, dass dem Benutzer den Kontakt der beiden Flächen zur abzusaugenden Fläche bzw. das Fehlen dieses Kontaktes signalisieren kann.Finally, it is possible to indicate to the user via a visual control whether the support surface and the pull-off lip are in contact with the surface to be suctioned off. For this purpose, appropriate sensors are provided that control a signal lamp, for example. An acoustic signal, which sounds, for example, when the engine is running, without the support surface and the pull-off lip making contact with a surface, is also possible. Ultimately, any indicator means can be used that can signal to the user that the two surfaces are in contact with the surface to be suctioned or that this contact is absent.
Eine Steuerung, die das Saugaggregat herunterfährt oder abschaltet, wenn Drucksensoren an der StĂ¼tzfläche feststellen, dass diese nicht in Anlage an der abzusagenden Fläche ist, kann die Stand-by-Zeit des Gerätes verlängern und Energie sparen. Anstelle der Drucksensoren kann natĂ¼rlich auch jede andere Sensorik, einschlieĂŸlich eines Belastungssensors fĂ¼r den Motor des Saugaggregates verwendet werden, der einen Strömungswiderstand im Ansaugkanal oder im Bereich des Saugaggregates unmittelbar oder mittelbar erkennen kann.A control that shuts down or switches off the suction unit when pressure sensors on the support surface determine that it is not in contact with the surface to be canceled can extend the standby time of the device and save energy. Instead of the pressure sensors, any other sensor system can of course also be used, including a load sensor for the motor of the suction unit, which can directly or indirectly detect a flow resistance in the suction channel or in the area of the suction unit.

Die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se 2 ist schwenkbar gegen die Kraft einer RĂ¼ckstellfeder gelagert, wobei hier nicht sichtbare Anschläge die Schwenkbewegung begrenzen. Der Akku, der den als Saugaggregat verwendeten Motor des Handsauggerätes 7 versorgt, ist bevorzugt im Handgriff des Handsauggerätes 7 angeordnet, da sich hierdurch eine gĂ¼nstige Gewichtsverteilung ergibt. Der untere Bereich des Handgriffs 7 kann als SteckhĂ¼lse zum Einstecken einer Verlängerungs- oder Teleskopstange ausgebildet sein.The extraction and
Die erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Funktion der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se ergibt sich aus den Figuren 6 und 7 am deutlichsten. Die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se weist eine StĂ¼tzfläche 8 auf, die hier in Form von Rollen ausgebildet ist. Die Lauffläche der Rolle bildet also jeweils die StĂ¼tzfläche 8, die zusammen mit der Kontaktfläche der Abziehlippe 2 die Orientierung der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se relativ zur abzusaugenden Fläche 3 festlegt. Da die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se gegen die Federkraft des Federmittels 11 schwenkbar ist, kann unabhängig davon, in welcher Orientierung der Benutzer das Gerät gegen die abzusaugende Fläche 3 drĂ¼ckt, die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se die jeweils optimale Position einnehmen.The function of the extraction and suction nozzle according to the invention is shown most clearly in FIGS. The extraction and suction nozzle has a
Hierdurch ist der Ansaugspalt 4 durch die Abziehlippe 2 und einen darunter angeordneten Gummistreifen geschlossen, so dass sich eine optimale Saugwirkung in die Ansaugkammer 12 der Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se ergibt.

Damit nun im Eckbereich leicht und einfach durch eine homogene Fortsetzung der Bewegung des Handsauggerätes 7 auch dieser Eckbereich ausgesaugt werden kann, ist die FĂ¼hrungsfläche 9 vorgesehen. Diese ist hier in Form eines sich nach unten, glockenartig arbeiteten Randes des Gehäuses des DĂ¼senkörpers 1 ausgebildet. Wie dargestellt, bewirkt dieser nockenartige Bereich, dass sich die Abzieh- und SaugdĂ¼se leicht verdreht, so dass die StĂ¼tzfläche 8 von der abzusaugenden Fläche 3 abhebt und Ă¼ber den Rand des Fensterrahmens gefĂ¼hrt wird.The
Dies bewirkt eine effektive Absaugung auch im Eckbereich, so dass der Benutzer mit einer harmonischen Bewegung das Sauggerät bis zum Randbereich des Fensters oder einer sonstigen Fläche fĂ¼hren kann.This causes effective suction in the corner area too, so that the user can move the suction device to the edge of the window or another surface with a harmonious movement.
