Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, with at least one on the vacuum cleaner housing provided control element and a certain operating state signaling light indicator.
  • Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-U-80 20 858.
  • Vacuum cleaner is on the housing next to an actuation button for the on / off switch of the vacuum cleaner another knob for adjusting one of the power settings of the blower motor of the vacuum cleaner serving rotary potentiometer.
  • a separate light indicator element for signaling a necessary filter change attached.
  • the invention has for its object a vacuum cleaner of the type described Kind in such a way that the expense of components to be assembled separately is reduced.
  • Control element at least one light guide is integrated, one end of which on the Surface of the control element and its other end inside the vacuum cleaner housing at a point across the body from a light source of the control element is brought out.
  • the location of the exit point of the Light guide from the body of the control element and the arrangement of the light source are taken inside the vacuum cleaner housing so that the exit point and Face the light source at maximum power setting of the blower motor.
  • the necessary signaling can a filter change via the light guide built into the control element. Because such a display is only available when the blower motor is at maximum power setting A corresponding spatial assignment of the light source is necessary and sensible and exit point of the light guide possible.
  • the Actuation button 1 designates an operating element designed as an operating button.
  • To the Actuation button 1 is formed on a shaft 2. With the shaft 2 is the operating button into a tubular recess provided on a vacuum cleaner housing 4 3 used. In the lower area of the shaft 2 there is a locking plate 5 on the shaft attached, in the inserted in the vacuum cleaner housing 4 state of the operating button 1 behind one from the side wall of the tubular recess 3 protruding locking tongue 6 locked.
  • the Shaft 2 is essentially formed by four shaft ribs 8 arranged in a cross shape educated.
  • a shaft rib 8a extends opposite the remaining shaft ribs 8 further radially outwards. This strikes the shaft rib 8a when the operating button is turned 1 on a protruding radially inward into the through opening 7 Stop cam 9.
  • Stop cam 9 By this stop cam 9, the rotary movement of the Actuating button 1 limited to less than 360 °.
  • a support plate is installed, on which a push button switch 10 trained on / off switch and a rotary potentiometer 11 are arranged.
  • a plastic holding part 12 which in turn is clipped onto the support plate in a suitable manner.
  • an actuating lever 13 formed with his one end 14 pivotally connected to the body of the plastic holding part 12 is. The other end 15 of the operating lever 13 projects freely over the operating button 16 of the push button switch 10.
  • a bore 17 is provided, through which one extends axially of the shaft 2 extending and connected to the shaft 2 adjustment shaft 18 inserted is.
  • the adjusting shaft 18 engages through a Coupling opening of the rotary potentiometer 11 through.
  • a coupling opening is slit-shaped in a known manner or as provided with a flattened side Round opening trained.
  • the adjusting shaft 18 has at its free end 19 one of the Shape of the coupling opening corresponding cross-sectional profile. So that Adjustment shaft 18 are inserted with their free end 19 into the coupling opening.
  • the adjusting shaft 18 can be moved in the axial direction relative to the coupling opening become.
  • there is a fixed coupling in the direction of rotation so that when twisting of the operating button 1, the rotary potentiometer 11 is adjusted.
  • the actuating lever 13 is molded onto the plastic holding part 12 such that it already when the operating button 1 is plugged into the vacuum cleaner housing 4 something is pushed down. As a result, a counterforce is exerted on the operating button 1 exercised, through which the molded on the shaft 2 locking plate 5 in contact with the locking tongue 6 is held. This is the actuation button 1 on the vacuum cleaner housing 4th secured. In the direction of rotation, the actuating button 1 is provided by one provided on it and in the tubular recess 3 engaging collar 20 a corresponding Guide.
  • This grid 21 engages at the free ends 22 of the shaft ribs 8 trained locking bars 23, which thus form the counter locking.
  • spring pressure of the prestressed actuating lever 13 are the locking ribs of the grid 21 constantly in engagement with the locking strips 22 of the shaft ribs 8, whereby a corresponding Fixing the operating button 1 and thus the rotary potentiometer 11 in its respective position is reached.
  • a signal lamp 24 is also arranged on the plastic holding part 12.
  • the order this signal lamp 24 is such that it is at maximum power setting of the blower motor, the exit point 25 of an inside of the shaft 2 of the Actuating button 1 laid light guide 26 is opposite.
  • the light guide 26 ends on the other hand, on the surface 27 of the operating button 1.
  • the signal lamp 24 is with the corresponding filling in the dust chamber of the vacuum cleaner arranged filter bag controlled so that then through the light guide 26 on the surface 27 of the operating button 1 a corresponding display he follows.
  • the integration of the light guide 26 in the actuating button 1 eliminates the need display element to be installed separately.
  • the switch-on state can also be used, for example of the vacuum cleaner are displayed. Since the button on the described embodiment both for switching the vacuum cleaner on / off as well as to adjust the power of the blower motor is also a combination display of the switch-on status and a necessary filter change possible. This can be done, for example, by means of differently colored light sources and, if necessary via several light guides 26 laid in the actuating button 1.
