Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein multifunktionales Saugreinigungsgerät, welches ein mit einer elektrisch angetriebenen Bürste versehenes, unteres Gehäuseteil aufweist, dem ein weiteres Gehäuseteil zugeordnet ist, in welchem die Funktionsteile für Unterdruckerzeugen, Staubfiltern und Staubsammeln integriert sind und bei welchem Reinigungsgerät das untere Gehäuseteil an den Saugkreis des weiteren Gehäuseteils ankoppelbar ist.The invention relates to a multifunctional suction cleaning device, which one with an electrical Driven brush provided lower housing part, the other housing part is assigned in which the functional parts for vacuum generation, dust filters and Dust collecting are integrated and with which cleaning device the lower housing part is attached to the Suction circuit of the further housing part can be coupled.

Ein solches Saugreinigungsgerät ist durch die EP-B-0 388 676 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Gerät sind das untere Gehäuseteil und das weitere Gehäuseteil, welches als Filterkassette für einen Filterbeutel ausgebildet ist und einen Gebläsemotor enthält, fest miteinander verbunden. Am oberen Ende des weiteren Gehäuseteils ist ein beweglicher Saugschlauch angeschlossen, der lösbar mit einem am unteren Gehäuseteil vorgesehenen Anschlußstutzen verbunden werden kann. Somit besteht die Möglichkeit, den Saugschlauch von dem Anschlußstutzen abzunehmen und spezielle Nebensaugarbeiten durchzuführen. Hierzu kann der Saugschlauch auch noch mit einem in eine Gehäuseausnehmung des weiteren Gehäuseteiles eingesetzten und aus dieser herausnehmbaren Handsaugrohr gekoppelt werden. Damit kann das bekannte Reinigungsgerät nicht nur für das Saugkehren, sondern auch für den normalen Saugbetrieb verwendet werden. Dabei ist allerdings der Aktionsradius beim nicht Fortbewegen des Reinigungsgerätes durch die relativ kurze Länge des Saugschlauches und des Handrohres stark eingeschränkt. Müssen Saugarbeiten in einem außerhalb dieses Aktionsradius liegenden Bereich ausgeführt werden, muß das komplette Reinigungsgerät entsprechend fortbewegt werden, um in diesem Bereich saugen zu können.Such a suction cleaning device is known from EP-B-0 388 676. In this well-known Device are the lower housing part and the further housing part, which as a filter cassette for a filter bag is formed and contains a blower motor, firmly connected. A movable suction hose is connected to the upper end of the further housing part, which are releasably connected to a connection piece provided on the lower housing part can. This makes it possible to remove the suction hose from the connection piece and to carry out special auxiliary suction work. The suction hose can also do this still with one inserted in a housing recess of the further housing part and can be coupled from this removable hand suction pipe. So that the known cleaning device not only used for suction sweeping, but also for normal suction operation will. However, the radius of action is when the cleaning device is not moving strong due to the relatively short length of the suction hose and the hand tube limited. Must do suction work in an area outside this range the entire cleaning device must be moved accordingly, to be able to suck in this area.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein multifunktionales Saugreinigungsgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art so auszubilden, daß neben den Saugkehrarbeiten mit dem Gerät auch normale Saugarbeiten ohne räumliche Einschränkungen und ohne die Notwendigkeit des Fortbewegens des kompletten Saugreinigungsgerätes durchgeführt werden können.The invention has for its object a multifunctional suction cleaning device at the beginning type described so that in addition to the suction sweeping with the device even normal suction work without space restrictions and without the need for Moving the complete suction cleaning device can be carried out.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß das weitere Gehäuseteil von einem mit dem unteren Gehäuseteil abnehmbar gekoppelten fahrbaren Bodenstaubsauger gebildet ist. Zur Durchführung von normalen Saugarbeiten kann der Bodenstaubsauger von dem unteren Gehäuseteil abgenommen und wie ein üblicher Bodenstaubsauger eingesetzt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the further housing part from a mobile, detachably coupled to the lower housing part Canister vacuum cleaner is formed. To carry out normal suction work, the Cylinder vacuum cleaner removed from the lower part of the housing and like a normal one Canister vacuum cleaners are used.

Dadurch, daß das untere Gehäuseteil mittels einer elektrischen Anschlußleitung mit einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle verbindbar ist und der Bodenstaubsauger über eine elektrische Steckvorrichtung an den Stromkreis des unteren Gehäuseteiles anschließbar ist, wird zur elektrischen Versorgung des Bodenstaubsaugers keine zusätzliche Anschlußleitung benötigt.Characterized in that the lower housing part by means of an electrical connection line with an electrical Voltage source is connectable and the vacuum cleaner via an electrical Plug device can be connected to the circuit of the lower housing part, becomes electrical Supply of the vacuum cleaner does not require an additional connection line.

Desgleichen kann auf eine spezielle elektrische Steckvorrichtung am Gehäuse des Bodenstaubsaugers verzichtet werden, wenn der Adapterteil beim Anbringen desselben an dem unteren Gehäuseteil mittels einer Steckvorrichtung an den Stromkreis des unteren Gehäuseteiles anschließbar ist und eine mit dieser Steckverbindung elektrisch leitend verbundene Steckdose für die Anschlußleitung des Bodenstaubsaugers aufweist. Similarly, a special electrical connector on the housing of the vacuum cleaner be dispensed with if the adapter part is attached to the lower one when it is attached Housing part by means of a plug device to the circuit of the lower housing part can be connected and a socket that is electrically conductively connected to this plug connection for the connecting line of the cylinder vacuum cleaner.

Die Ankoppelung des unteren Gehäuseteiles an den Saugkreis des Bodenstaubsaugers wird auf einfache Weise dadurch ermöglicht, daß am unteren Gehäuseteil ein Saugstutzen vorgesehen ist, an den ein mit der Saugöffnung des Bodenstaubsaugers verbundener Saugschlauch ansteckbar ist.The coupling of the lower housing part to the suction circuit of the cylinder vacuum cleaner is enables in a simple manner that a suction nozzle is provided on the lower housing part is connected to a suction hose connected to the suction opening of the cylinder vacuum cleaner is contagious.
