Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine statische Staubsaugerdüse,
insbesondere für Haushaltsstaubsauger, mit
Bei den aus der Praxis bekannten Staubsaugerdüsen, von denen die Erfindung ausgeht, besteht der von den Saugmundkanten begrenzte Saugraum aus einem oder zwei Strömungskanälen. Die Strömungskanäle sind in die aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehende Gleitsohle eingearbeitet. Ihr Volumen variiert bei den Staubsaugerdüsen für Haushaltsstabsauger zwischen 25 und 60 cm3. Eine solche Staubsaugerdüse ist beispielsweise in EP-A-0 125 994 beschrieben. Die Geräuschentwicklung durch einströmende Luft ist bei den bekannten Ausführungen beachtlich.In the vacuum cleaner nozzles known from practice, from which the invention is based, the suction space delimited by the edges of the suction mouth consists of one or two flow channels. The flow channels are incorporated into the sliding sole made of metal or plastic. The volume of the vacuum cleaner nozzles for household vacuum cleaners varies between 25 and 60 cm 3 . Such a vacuum cleaner nozzle is described for example in EP-A-0 125 994. The noise generated by the inflowing air is remarkable in the known designs.
Bei einer anderen, ebenfalls aus der Praxis bekannten Bauform ist der Saugraum nicht Bestandteil der Gleitsohle, sondern wird durch mehrere ineinandergreifende Formteile gebildet, die an der Gleitsohle sowie an dem Düsengehäuse angeformt oder angeschlossen sind. Der Saugraum weist im Vergleich zu den erstgenannten Bauformen ein größeres Volumen auf, und zwar in Verbindung mit einem größeren Abstand der Saugmundkanten voneinander. Ein großer Abstand zwischen den Saugmundkanten ist jedoch mit funktionsmäßigen Nachteilen verbunden, weil beim Betrieb der Staubsaugerdüse aufgrund des im Saugraum herrschenden Unterdrucks eine zum Boden gerichtete Kraft auf das Düsengehäuse wirkt, die der Fläche des Saugmundes proportional ist. Mit zunehmendem Abstand zwischen den Saugmundkanten wächst die Schiebekraft, die zum Bewegen der Staubsaugerdüse in Arbeitsrichtung aufgebracht werden muss. Die Staubsaugerdüsen, die mit einem großen Saugmund ausgerüstet sind, weisen daher in der Regel zusätzliche Stützrollen im Bereich des Saugmundes auf. Das ist aufwendig. Auch bei diesen Düsen sind die Geräusche durch einströmende Luft noch störend.Another, also known from practice The suction chamber is not part of the sliding sole, but is made up of several interlocking molded parts formed on the sliding sole as well as on the nozzle housing molded or connected. The suction chamber points in A larger one compared to the former types Volume, in conjunction with a larger one Distance of the suction mouth edges from each other. A great distance between the suction mouth edges is however functional Disadvantages connected because when operating the vacuum cleaner nozzle due to the negative pressure prevailing in the suction chamber Ground-directed force acts on the nozzle housing, which the Area of the suction mouth is proportional. With increasing The distance between the suction mouth edges increases the pushing force, the for moving the vacuum cleaner nozzle in the working direction must be applied. The vacuum cleaner nozzles that come with are equipped with a large suction mouth, therefore point in the Usually additional support rollers in the area of the suction mouth on. It is expensive. These are also with these nozzles Noise caused by incoming air is still annoying.
Bei statischen Staubsaugerdüsen sind die an die Saugmundkanten anschließende vordere und hintere Wand des Saugraumes im wesentlichen senkrecht ausgerichtet und weisen lediglich fertigungsbedingte Entformungsschrägen und Radien auf. Dem Volumen des Saugraumes wird keine besondere Bedeutung beigemessen. Das Volumen richtet sich nach dem Abstand der Saugmundkanten, also der Fläche des Saugmundes. With static vacuum cleaner nozzles, they are on the edges of the suction mouth subsequent front and rear wall of the suction chamber aligned essentially vertically and point only production-related draft angles and radii on. The volume of the suction chamber is not special Attached importance. The volume depends on the Distance of the suction mouth edges, i.e. the surface of the suction mouth.
Bei Bürstenvorsatzgeräten ist der Saugraum in aller Regel deutlich größer, da er die Bürstenwalze aufnehmen muss. Der Abstand zwischen den Saugmundkanten ist ebenfalls größer und liegt bei den aus der Praxis bekannten Ausführungen zwischen 24 und 32 mm.In the case of brush attachments, the suction space is generally the rule significantly larger because it has to take up the brush roller. The The distance between the suction mouth edges is also larger and lies with the designs known from practice between 24 and 32 mm.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine statische Staubsaugerdüse des eingangs beschriebenen Aufbaus anzugeben, deren Saugraum so gestaltet ist, dass ohne Beeinträchtigung der Saugeigenschaften die Schiebekraft zum Bewegen der Staubsaugerdüse sowie Strömungsgeräusche durch einströmende Luft möglichst klein sind.The invention has for its object a static Specify vacuum cleaner nozzle of the construction described at the beginning, whose suction chamber is designed in such a way that it does not impair the suction properties the pushing force to Moving the vacuum cleaner nozzle and flow noise through inflowing air are as small as possible.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe lehrt die Erfindung, dass der Saugraum zur Reduzierung von Strömungsgeräuschen der im Saugbetrieb am Saugmund einströmenden Luft als großvolumig dimensionierter Strömungsberührungsraum eine in Arbeitsrichtung gemessene Kanalbreite aufweist, die größer ist als die zwischen den Saugmundkanten gemessene Breite des Saugmundes. Die Kanalbreite des Saugraumes sollte mindestens das 1,3-fache der zwischen den Saugmundkanten gemessenen Breite des Saugmundes betragen.To achieve this object, the invention teaches that Suction chamber to reduce flow noise in the Suction operation on the air flowing in as large volume dimensioned flow contact space one in the working direction measured channel width, which is greater than the width of the measured between the suction mouth edges Suction mouth. The channel width of the suction chamber should be at least 1.3 times that between the suction mouth edges measured width of the suction mouth.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass eine deutliche Reduzierung der Strömungsgeräusche erreicht werden kann, wenn der Saugraum als Strömungsberuhigungsraum mit groß dimensioniertem Volumen ausgebildet ist. Die Geräuschreduzierung beruht darauf, dass sich über die gesamte Länge des Saugraumes ein gleichmäßiger Saugunterdruck einstellt, die Luft in gleichmäßiger Verteilung einströmt und geräuscherhöhende Geschwindigkeitsspitzen vermieden werden. Auch wird durch einen ausreichend bemessenen Querschnitt des Saugraumes, der wesentlich größer ist als die Fläche des Saugmundes, die Durchschnittsluftgeschwindigkeit gesenkt. Im Ergebnis ergibt sich eine deutliche Geräuschreduzierung bei gleichbleibender Saugleistung. Die Erfindung beruht ferner auf der Erkenntnis, dass der Abstand der Saugmundkanten nicht über das aus der Praxis bei statischen Düsen bekannte Maß hinaus vergrößert werden darf, da eine Vergrößerung der Saugmundfläche mit den bereits beschriebenen funktionsmäßigen Nachteilen einhergeht. The invention is based on the knowledge that a clear Reduction of flow noise can be achieved can, if the suction space as a flow calming space large dimensioned volume is formed. The noise reduction rests on the entire length the suction chamber sets an even suction vacuum, the air flows in evenly and noise-increasing speed peaks can be avoided. Also by a sufficiently dimensioned cross section the suction space, which is much larger than the area of the suction mouth, the average air speed is reduced. The result is a significant reduction in noise with constant suction power. The invention is also based on the knowledge that the distance of the Suction mouth edges do not have the practical experience with static Nozzles of known size may be enlarged because of a Enlargement of the suction mouth area with those already described functional disadvantages.

The preferably made of plastic existing sliding sole has the suction mouth edges and forms the lower part of the suction chamber. Up is the Suction chamber through another component, namely the hood-shaped Connection end of the suction air duct formed. The upper Part can be an integral part of the nozzle housing or also be designed as a separate component.

Der Schwenkwinkel beträgt vorzugsweise ca. ±3°. Die Kippbewegung des Saugmundes trägt zu einer Verbesserung der Saugeigenschaften bei. Insbesondere wird die Staubaufnahme besser, wobei außerdem die Schiebekraft abnimmt. Der Saugluftkanal ist zweckmäßig zweiteilig ausgeführt und besteht aus einer oberen Gehäusehälfte und einer unteren Gehäusehälfte, wobei an die untere Gehäusehälfte das haubenförmig ausgebildete Anschlußende angeformt ist. In a further embodiment, the invention teaches that The sliding sole is pivotally mounted in the nozzle housing and that the collar has arc-shaped fitting surfaces, which slidably on seating surfaces of the hood-shaped Connect the end of the suction air duct. The Swivel angle is preferably approximately ± 3 °. The tilting movement of the suction mouth improves the suction properties at. In particular, the dust pickup better, while also reducing the pushing force.
