Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger, mit einer in dessen Gehäuse eingebauten Kabeltrommel, deren kabelendseitige Ausgangskontakte als Steckkontakte ausgebildet und mit an einer im Staubsaugergehäuse neben der Kabeltrommel angeordneten Leiterplatte vorgesehenen Gegensteckkontakten verbunden sind.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, with one installed in its housing Cable drum, the output contacts on the cable end are designed as plug contacts and arranged on one in the vacuum cleaner housing next to the cable drum Printed circuit board provided mating contacts are connected.

Ein solcher Staubsauger ist durch die EP-A-0 365 797 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Staubsauger ist ein aus Kunststoff bestehendes Tragteil vorgesehen, an dem ein axial vorstehender Ansatz angeformt ist, in dessen Innenraum Gegensteckkontakte angeordnet sind, die mit in einer Nabenvertiefung des feststehenden Gehäuseteiles einer Kabeltrommel vorgesehenen Steckkontakten zusammen passen. Der Ansatz ist von seinen Abmessungen her so ausgeführt, daß er in die Nabenvertiefung paßt und in dieser gehalten wird. Auf diese Weise wird das Tragteil an der Kabeltrommel gehalten. Auf der der Kabeltrommel abgewandten Seite des Tragteiles ist eine mit den elektrischen Steuerelementen für den Gebläsemotor bestückte Leiterplatte angebracht. Bevor die Kabeltrommel in das Staubsaugergehäuse eingesetzt wird, muß bereits die Tragplatte mit der an ihr befindlichen Leiterplatte an die Kabeltrommel angefügt werden. Desgleichen muß bei einem Störungsfall an der Leiterplatte oder der Kabeltrommel die komplette aus Kabeltrommel und Tragteil bestehende Einheit ausgebaut werden.Such a vacuum cleaner is known from EP-A-0 365 797. In this well-known Vacuum cleaner is a plastic support part on which an axial The above approach is formed, mating plug contacts arranged in the interior are with a in a hub recess of the fixed housing part The cable contacts provided fit together. The approach is from its dimensions designed so that it fits into the hub recess and in this is held. In this way, the supporting part is held on the cable drum. On the side of the support part facing away from the cable drum is one with the electrical Controls for the blower motor equipped circuit board attached. Before the cable drum is inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing, the Carrier plate with the circuit board attached to it attached to the cable drum become. Likewise, in the event of a fault on the circuit board or the cable drum the complete unit consisting of cable drum and supporting part has been removed become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Staubsauger der eingangs beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Kabeltrommel und die Leiterplatte in rationeller Weise in das Staubsaugergehäuse ein- und ausgebaut werden können.The invention has for its object a vacuum cleaner of the type described Kind in such a way that the cable drum and the circuit board in rational Way can be installed and removed in the vacuum cleaner housing.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß die Steckkontakte der Kabeltrommel parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind und gegenüber der Außenkontur der Kabeltrommel axial vorstehen, daß ferner die Gegensteckkontakte als Schlitzkontakte ausgebildet sind, die durch eine relativ zueinander ausgeführte, parallel zur Ebene der betreffenden Kabeltrommelseite verlaufende Bewegung in Kontaktverbindung mit den Steckkontakten bringbar sind.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the plug contacts the cable drum are aligned parallel to each other and opposite the The outer contour of the cable drum protrude axially, that further the mating contacts are designed as slot contacts, which are designed by a movement in parallel to the plane of the relevant cable drum side Contact connection can be brought with the plug contacts.

Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung eines Staubsaugers stimmt die Bewegungsrichtung für das Zusammenfügen der Steck- und Gegensteckkontakte mit der Montagerichtung der Kabeltrommel und der Leiterplatte überein, so daß beim Einsetzen dieser Teile in das Staubsaugergehäuse die Kontaktverbindung selbsttätig hergestellt wird. Desgleichen kann bei einem Störungsfall an einem dieser Teile das betreffende Teil aus dem Staubsaugergehäuse herausgezogen werden, wobei die Kontaktverbindung gelöst wird, ohne daß das andere Teil aus dem Staubsaugergehäuse herausgenommen werden muß.With such a configuration of a vacuum cleaner the direction of movement is correct for joining the plug and mating contacts with the mounting direction of the cable drum and the printed circuit board, so that when inserting these parts into the vacuum cleaner housing the contact connection is produced automatically. Likewise, in the event of a fault on one of these Parts of the part in question are pulled out of the vacuum cleaner housing, wherein the contact connection is released without the other part from the vacuum cleaner housing must be removed.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, daß im Staubsaugergehäuse jeweils eine Führung für die Kabeltrommel und die Leiterplatte vorgesehen ist, wobei die Führungen so ausgebildet und angeordnet sind, daß beim Einbau der Kabeltrommel und der Leiterplatte die Steck- und die Schlitzkontakte selbsttätig miteinander in Kontaktverbindung gelangen.It is particularly advantageous that a guide for each in the vacuum cleaner housing Cable drum and the printed circuit board is provided, the guides being designed in this way and are arranged so that when installing the cable drum and the circuit board Plug and slot contacts automatically come into contact with each other.

Dadurch, daß die Schlitzkontakte an beiden Stirnseiten offen ausgebildet sind, muß keine bestimmte Einbaufolge für die Kabeltrommel und die Leiterplatte eingehalten werden. Es kann wahlweise zuerst die Leiterplatte oder die Kabeltrommel in das Staubsaugergehäuse eingebracht werden.The fact that the slot contacts are open at both ends, must no specific installation sequence for the cable drum and the printed circuit board was observed become. It can either be the circuit board or the cable drum in the first Vacuum cleaner housing are introduced.
