Abstract

A vacuum cleaner has a dust chamber (2) with a lid (3) in a housing (1) and inside the dust chamber is something (12) to hold a dust bag which, when the bag is missing, adopts a position that blocks the closing of the lid and that, when the bag is present, can move against a restoring force into a release position. On the inside of the lid facing the dust chamber is provided a structure (4) which works with the dust bag holder to block the lid's closing path. This structure is a sealing rib. On the inside of the lid a small pipe union(8) is provided. The lid and the dust bag holder pivot about two parallel axes.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Bodenreinigung, insbesondere einen Staubsauger.The invention relates to a device for cleaning floors, in particular a vacuum cleaner.

Bekannte Staubsauger weisen einen in einem Gehäuse vorgesehenen Staubraum auf, der mit einem Staubraumdeckel verschließbar ist. Im Staubraum ist eine Halterung für eine Versteifungsplatte eines Filterbeutels vorgesehen. Die Versteifungsplatte weist einen runden Durchbruch auf, der beim Schließen des Staubraumdeckels in einen an dessen Innenseite vorgesehenen Rohrstutzen eingreift.Known vacuum cleaners have a dust chamber provided in a housing, which can be closed with a dust chamber cover. A holder for a stiffening plate of a filter bag is provided in the dust chamber. The stiffening plate has a round opening which, when the dust chamber cover is closed, engages in a pipe socket provided on the inside thereof.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung ist nachteilig, weil bei geschlossenem Staubraumdeckel nicht erkennbar ist, ob sich im Staubraum ein Filterbeutel befindet. Es kann vorkommen, daß der Staubsauger ohne Filterbeutel in Betrieb gesetzt wird. Im angesaugten Luftstrom befindliche Staub- und Schmutzpartikel gelangen dann in das Gebläse und können dessen Funktion beeinträchtigen.The known device is disadvantageous because, when the dust chamber lid is closed, it cannot be seen whether there is a filter bag in the dust chamber. It can happen that the vacuum cleaner is started without a filter bag. Dust and dirt particles in the sucked-in air flow then get into the blower and can impair its function.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der die Nachteile des Stands der Technik beseitigt werden. Insbesondere soll ein Staubsauger vorgeschlagen werden, bei dem ein Fehlen des Filterbeutels sofort erkennbar ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a device with which the disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated. In particular, a vacuum cleaner be proposed in which an absence of the filter bag is immediately recognizable.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Patentansprüche 2 - 15.This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention result from the features of claims 2-15.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird eine Vorrichtung zur Bodenreinigung, insbesondere ein Staubsauger, vorgeschlagen, mit einem in einem Gehäuse vorgesehenen Staubraum, der mit einem Staub- raumdeckel verschließbar ist, sowie einem im Staubraum vorgesehenen Haltemittel zur Aufnahme einer Versteifungsplatte eines Filterbeutels, welches bei fehlender Versteifungsplatte in einer ersten einen Schließweg des Staubraumdeckels blockierenden Stellung steht, und bei aufgenommener Versteifungsplatte entgegen der Wirkung einer Rückstellkraft von der ersten in eine zweite den Schließweg freigebenden Stellung bewegbar ist. - Bei fehlendem Filterbeutel kann der Staubraumdeckel nicht geschlossen werden. So ist sofort erkennbar, daß sich im Staubraum kein Filterbeutel befindet. Eine Inbetriebnahme des Staubsaugers ohne Filterbeutel wird damit verhindert.To achieve the object, a device for cleaning the floor, in particular a vacuum cleaner, is proposed, with a dust chamber provided in a housing, which can be closed with a dust chamber cover, and a holding means provided in the dust chamber for receiving a stiffening plate of a filter bag, which is used in the absence of a stiffening plate is in a first position blocking a closing path of the dust chamber cover, and when the stiffening plate is received it can be moved from the first into a second position releasing the closing path against the action of a restoring force. - If the filter bag is missing, the dust compartment lid cannot be closed. It is immediately apparent that there is no filter bag in the dust room. This prevents commissioning of the vacuum cleaner without a filter bag.

Vorteilhafterweise ist an der dem Staubraum zugewandten Innenseite des Staubraumdeckels eine Struktur vorgesehen, welche mit dem Halteelement in erster Stellung zur Blockierung des Schließwegs zusammenwirkt. Die Struktur kann eine vorspringende Dichtungsrippe aufweisen. Die Verwendung konstruktiv bedingter Strukturelemente an der Innenseite des Staub- raumdeckels zur Blockierung des Schließwegs ermöglicht eine besonders kostengünstige Umsetzung der Erfindung.A structure is advantageously provided on the inside of the dust chamber cover facing the dust chamber, which structure interacts with the holding element in the first position to block the closing path. The structure can have a protruding sealing rib. The use of structural elements on the inside of the dust chamber cover to block the closing path enables a particularly cost-effective implementation of the invention.

Nach einem weiteren Ausgestaltungsmerkmal ist an der Innenseite des Staubraumdeckels ein vorspringender Rohrstutzen vorgesehen. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Staubraumdeckel um eine erste Achse, und das Haltemittel um eine im wesentlichen parallel zur ersten Achse verlaufende zweite Achse schwenkbar. - Das stellt auf besonders einfache Weise sicher, daß der Rohrstutzen beim Schließen des Staubraumdeckels ordnungsgemäß in eine in der Versteifungsplatte vorgesehenen Öffnung eingreift.According to a further design feature, a projecting pipe socket is provided on the inside of the dust chamber cover. The dust chamber cover is advantageously pivotable about a first axis, and the holding means can be pivoted about a second axis which runs essentially parallel to the first axis. - This ensures in a particularly simple manner that the pipe socket engages properly in an opening provided in the stiffening plate when the dust chamber cover is closed.

Das Halteelement kann zwei gegenüberliegende Schenkel aufweisen, die jeweils einen im wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt zur Aufnahme der Versteifungsplatte haben. Dabei sind die Schenkel vorteilhafterweise symmetrisch zum Rohrstutzen angeordnet, und der zwischen den Schenkeln gebildete Abstand ist größer als der Außendurchmesser des Rohrstutzens. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß beim Schließen des Staubraumdeckels der Rohrstutzen kein Verschwenken des Haltemittels aus der ersten Stellung bewirkt. Ein Verschwenken aus der ersten Stellung ist durch den Rohrstutzen nur dann möglich, wenn im Haltemittel die Versteifungsplatte aufgenommen ist.The holding element can have two opposite legs, each of which has an essentially U-shaped cross section for receiving the stiffening plate. The legs are advantageously arranged symmetrically to the pipe socket, and the distance formed between the legs is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe socket. This ensures that when the dust chamber cover is closed, the pipe socket does not cause the holding means to pivot out of the first position. Swiveling out of the first position is only possible through the pipe socket if the stiffening plate is accommodated in the holding means.

Nach einem besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsmerkmal ist am Haltemittel ein Sperrsteg vorgesehen, der bei in erster Stellung befindlichem Haltemittel im Schließweg der Dichtungsrippe steht. Der Sperrsteg kann in der Nähe der zweiten Achse angeordnet sein und parallel zur zweiten Achse verlaufen. Das ermöglicht eine besonders kurze Ausbildung des Sperrstegs. So werden große zum Bruch des Sperrstegs führende Hebelkräfte vermieden.According to a particularly advantageous design feature, a locking web is provided on the holding means, which is in the closing path of the sealing rib when the holding means is in the first position. The locking web can be arranged in the vicinity of the second axis and can run parallel to the second axis. This enables a particularly short design of the barrier. In this way, large leverage forces leading to the breakage of the barrier web are avoided.

An einem ersten Ende des Staubraumdeckels kann ein hakenartiger Fortsatz vorgesehen sein, der in eine Ausnehmung am Gehäuse einsetzbar ist. In der Ausnehmung ist ein Vorsprung zum schwenkbaren Eingriff des hakenartigen Fortsatzes gebildet. So kann der Staubraumdeckel nach dem Einführen des daran vorgesehenen hakenartigen Fortsatzes in die Ausnehmung entlang dem dafür vorgesehenen Schließweg bewegt werden. Bei einer Blockierung des Schließwegs kommt der hakenartige Fortsatz außer Eingriff. Der Staubraumdeckel kann dann nicht mehr geschlossen werden.A hook-like extension, which can be inserted into a recess on the housing, can be provided at a first end of the dust chamber cover. A projection for the pivotable engagement of the hook-like extension is formed in the recess. Thus, after the hook-like extension provided thereon has been inserted into the recess, the dust chamber cover can be moved along the closing path provided for this purpose. If the closing path is blocked, the hook-like extension disengages. The dust chamber cover can then no longer be closed.

Eine weitere kostengünstige Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß das Halteelement an einer unteren Gehäusehalbschale angebracht ist. - Zur Erzeugung der Rückstellkraft ist zweckmäßigerweise ein Federmittel, insbesondere eine Torsionsfeder, vorgesehen.Another inexpensive embodiment of the invention is that the holding element is attached to a lower housing half-shell. - To generate the restoring force, a spring means, in particular a torsion spring, is expediently provided.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen teilweisen Querschnitt durch einen Staubsauger, in dessen Gehäuse 1 sich ein Staubraum 2 befindet. Ein Staubraumdeckel 3 verschließt den Staubraum 2. An der dem Staubraum 2 zugewandten Innenseite des Staubraumdeckels 3 springt eine Dichtungsrippe 4 vor, welche dichtend an einer Dichtung 5 anliegt. Die Dichtung 5 ist in eine an einer unteren Gehäusehalbschale 6 gebildete Nut 7 eingelegt. Des weiteren ragt von der Innenseite des Staubraumdeckels 3 ein Rohrstutzen 8 in den Staubraum 2. An einem Ende E des aus Kunststoff hergestellten Staubraumdeckels 3 ist ein hakenartiger Fortsatz 9 angespritzt, welcher einen in einer Ausnehmung 10 angebrachten Vorsprung 11 hintergreift. Der Staubraumdeckel 3 ist um eine etwa zwischen dem Vorsprung 11 und dem hakenartigen Fortsatz 9 gebildete erste Achse A1 schwenkbar.Fig. 1 shows a partial cross section through a vacuum cleaner, in the housing 1 there is a dust chamber 2. A dust chamber cover 3 closes the dust chamber 2. On the inside of the dust chamber cover 3 facing the dust chamber 2, a sealing rib 4 projects, which lies sealingly against a seal 5. The seal 5 is inserted into a groove 7 formed on a lower housing half-shell 6. Furthermore, a pipe socket 8 protrudes from the inside of the dust chamber cover 3 into the dust chamber 2. A hook-like extension 9 is molded onto one end E of the dust chamber cover 3 made of plastic and engages behind a projection 11 provided in a recess 10. The dust chamber cover 3 is pivotable about a first axis A1 formed approximately between the projection 11 and the hook-like extension 9.

Im Staubraum 2 ist ein um eine zweite Achse A2 schwenkbares Haltemittel 12 vorgesehen. Das Haltemittel 12 weist in der Nähe der zweiten Achse A2 einen in Richtung der Innenseite des Staubraumdeckels 3 vorstehenden Sperrsteg 13 auf. Im Haltemittel 12 ist eine Versteifungsplatte eines Filterbeutels (hier nicht gezeigt) aufgenommen. Der Rohrstutzen 8 liegt an eine Dichtlippe 14 an, welche umlaufend am Rand einer in der Versteifungsplatte gebildeten Öffnung vorgesehen ist.In the dust chamber 2, a holding means 12 which can be pivoted about a second axis A2 is provided. The holding means 12 has in the vicinity of the second axis A2 in the direction of the inside of the dust chamber cover 3 protruding barrier web 13. A stiffening plate of a filter bag (not shown here) is received in the holding means 12. The pipe socket 8 bears against a sealing lip 14 which is provided all around at the edge of an opening formed in the stiffening plate.

Fig 2 zeigt einen teilweisen Querschnitt des Staubsaugers nach Fig. 1. Im Haltemittel 12 ist keine Versteifungsplatte aufgenommen. Das Haltemittel 12 befindet sich in einer ersten Stellung, in welcher der Sperrsteg 13 im Schließweg der Dichtrippe 4 steht. Der hakenartige Fortsatz 9 hintergreift den Vorsprung 11 nicht.FIG. 2 shows a partial cross section of the vacuum cleaner according to FIG. 1. No stiffening plate is accommodated in the holding means 12. The holding means 12 is in a first position, in which the locking web 13 is in the closing path of the sealing rib 4. The hook-like extension 9 does not engage behind the projection 11.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf das Haltemittel 12. Zwei gegenüberliegende Schenkel 15 erstrecken sich senkrecht von einem um die zweite Achse A2 schwenkbaren Schenkelträger 17. Die Schenkel 15 sind als sich zueinander öffnende U-Profile ausgebildet. In den U-Profilen ist die Versteifungsplatte 16 aufgenommen. Am Rand der Öffnung 18 befindet sich die Dichtlippe 14.3 shows a top view of the holding means 12. Two opposite legs 15 extend perpendicularly from a leg carrier 17 which can be pivoted about the second axis A2. The legs 15 are designed as mutually opening U-profiles. The stiffening plate 16 is accommodated in the U-profiles. The sealing lip 14 is located at the edge of the opening 18.

Die Funktion der Vorrichtung ist folgende:The function of the device is as follows:

Bei abgenommenen Staubraumdeckel 3 wird das Haltemittel 12 durch ein Federmittel (hier nicht dargestellt), z.B. eine Torsionsfeder, in die erste Stellung gezwungen. Sofern im Haltemittel 12 keine Versteifungsplatte 16 aufgenommen ist, steht der Sperrsteg 13 im Schließweg der Dichtungsrippe 4. Beim Schließen des Staubraumdeckels 3 schlägt die Dichtungsrippe 4 an den Sperrsteg 13 an, wodurch der hakenartige Fortsatz 9 seine den Vorsprung 11 hintergreifende Position verläßt. Ein Schließen des Staubraumdeckels 3 ist nicht möglich.When the dust chamber cover 3 is removed, the holding means 12 is forced into the first position by a spring means (not shown here), for example a torsion spring. If no stiffening plate 16 is received in the holding means 12, the locking web 13 is in the closing path of the sealing rib 4. When the dust chamber cover 3 is closed, the sealing rib 4 strikes the locking web 13, as a result of which the hook-like extension 9 leaves its position engaging behind the projection 11. It is not possible to close the dust compartment cover 3.

Wenn dagegen im Haltemittel 12 eine Versteifungsplatte 16 aufgenommen ist, trifft beim Schließen des Staubraumdeckels 3 der Rohrstutzen 8 auf die Versteifungsplatte 16 bzw. die daran vorgesehene Dichtlippe 14. Im weiteren Verlauf des Schließvorgangs wird das Haltemittel 12 durch die vom Rohrstutzen auf die Versteifungsplatte 16 ausgeübten Kraft gegen die vom Federmittel erzeugte Rückstellkraft nach unten in die zweite Stellung verschwenkt. Der Schließweg der Dichtungsrippe 4 wird durch das gleichzeitig erfolgende Verschwenken des Sperrstegs 13 freigegeben, so daß der Staubraumdeckel 3 vollständig geschlossen werden kann.If, on the other hand, a stiffening plate 16 is accommodated in the holding means 12, when the dust chamber cover 3 is closed, the pipe socket 8 meets the stiffening plate 16 or the sealing lip 14 provided thereon. In the further course of the closing process, the holding means 12 is exerted on the stiffening plate 16 by the pipe socket Force against the restoring force generated by the spring means pivoted down into the second position. The closing path of the sealing rib 4 is released by the simultaneous pivoting of the locking web 13, so that the dust chamber cover 3 can be closed completely.
