Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, with an on / off switch and potentiometer arranged in its housing, which components can be actuated by means of an actuating device provided on the outside of the housing.
  • Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-U-80 20 858.
  • an actuation button for the on / off switch and a rotary knob for adjusting a potentiometer are arranged on the housing.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a vacuum cleaner of the type described above so that the cost of components can be reduced.
  • the on / off switch and the potentiometer is assigned a common actuation button, which is axially and rotatably arranged on the housing of the vacuum cleaner, with the axially movable adjustment of the actuation button an actuation of the on / off - Ters and by the rotatable adjustment of the actuating button, the potentiometer designed as a rotary potentiometer is actuated.
  • the potentiometer designed as a rotary potentiometer is actuated.
  • a separate return spring for the actuation button is unnecessary in that the spring tension acting on the actuation lever serves as an axial restoring force for the actuation button.
  • the actuating lever itself can be designed as a resilient lever, so that no separate spring element is required.
  • the coupling of the actuation button with the rotary potentiometer is achieved in a simple manner in that an axially projecting adjusting shaft is provided on the actuation button, which is coupled to the rotary potentiometer in an axially movable but rotationally fixed manner.
  • a securing of the rotary potentiometer in its respective position is achieved in that the adjusting shaft is passed through a bore of the actuating lever to the rotary potentiometer arranged below the actuating lever and a raster is formed on the actuating lever on the side facing the actuating button, concentrically with the bore, with a counter-detent formed on the end surface of the actuating button resting on the actuating lever cooperates.
  • a rotation path limitation is achieved in a structurally simple manner in that a radially outwardly projecting rib is provided on the shaft of the actuating button and a stop projecting into the rotation path of the rib is provided on the housing of the vacuum cleaner.
  • FIG. 2 shows the actuation button according to FIG. 1 in a vacuum cleaner housing. built condition.
  • a shaft 2 is integrally formed.
  • the actuating button 1 With the shaft 2, the actuating button 1 is inserted into a tubular recess 3 provided on a vacuum cleaner housing 4.
  • a locking plate 5 is attached to the shaft, which, when the actuating button 1 is inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing 4, locks behind a locking tongue 6 protruding from the side wall of the tubular recess 3.
  • the shaft 2 passes through a through-opening 7 provided in the relevant wall of the vacuum cleaner housing 4.
  • the shaft 2 is essentially formed by four shaft ribs 8 arranged in a cross shape.
  • a shaft rib 8a extends further radially outwards compared to the remaining shaft ribs 8.
  • This shaft rib 8a thus strikes a stop cam 9 projecting radially inward into the through-opening 7 when the actuating button 1 is rotated.
  • This stop cam 9 limits the rotary movement of the actuating button 1 to below 360 °.
  • a support plate is installed, on which an on / off switch designed as a pushbutton switch 10 and a rotary potentiometer 11 are arranged.
  • the key switch 10 and the rotary potentiometer 11 are fitted into a plastic holding part 12, which in turn is clipped onto the support plate in a suitable manner.
  • An actuating lever 13 is also formed on the plastic holding part 12 and is pivotally connected at one end 14 to the body of the plastic holding part 12. The other end 15 of the actuation lever 13 projects freely over the actuation key 16 of the key switch 10.
  • a coupling opening of the rotary potentiometer 11 is designed in a slot-like manner or as a round opening provided with a flattened side.
  • the adjusting shaft 18 has at its free end 19 a cross-sectional profile corresponding to the shape of the coupling opening. The free end 19 of the adjusting shaft 18 can thus be inserted into the coupling opening.
  • the adjusting shaft 18 can face each other in the axial direction the coupling opening are moved.
  • there is a fixed coupling in the direction of rotation so that when the actuating button 1 is turned, the rotary potentiometer 11 is adjusted.
  • the actuating lever 13 is molded onto the plastic holding part 12 such that it is already somewhat depressed when the actuating button 1 is plugged into the vacuum cleaner housing 4. As a result, a counterforce is exerted on the actuating button 1, by means of which the locking plate 5 formed on the shaft 2 is held in contact with the locking tongue 6. The actuating button 1 is thus secured on the vacuum cleaner housing 4. In the direction of rotation, the actuating button 1 is provided with a corresponding guide by a collar 20 provided on it and engaging in the tubular recess 3.
  • a raster 21 consisting of individual locking ribs concentrically surrounding the bore 17 is provided on the side of the actuating lever 13 facing the shaft 2, a raster 21 consisting of individual locking ribs concentrically surrounding the bore 17 is provided.
  • this grid 21 engage at the free ends 22 of the shaft ribs 8 formed locking strips 23, which thus form the counter-locking. Due to the spring pressure of the pretensioned actuating lever 13, the locking ribs of the catch 21 are constantly in engagement with the locking strips 22 of the shaft ribs 8, as a result of which the actuating button 1 and thus the rotary potentiometer 11 are fixed in their respective positions.
  • the operating button 1 When starting up or putting the vacuum cleaner out of operation, the operating button 1 is depressed in each case. The other end 15 of the operating lever 13 hits the operating button 16 of the key switch 10 and presses it down. As a result, the key switch 10 is switched on or off. After releasing the actuating button 1, it is returned to its starting position by the spring force of the actuating lever 13, in which the locking plate 5 rests against the locking tongue 6. In the actuation direction, the adjustment path of the actuation button 1 is limited by the impact of the locking plate 5 on the bottom wall 24 of the tubular recess 3. This also avoids excessive and therefore harmful impact forces on the actuating lever 13 or on the pushbutton switch 10.
  • an additional spring can be provided. Such an additional spring is also used when the operating lever 13 is not designed as a resilient lever from the outset.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un aspirateur doté d'un interrupteur Marche/arrêt et d'un potentiomètre qui sont intégrés à la coque et peuvent être actionnés à l'aide d'un dispositif de commande (1) situé sur l'extérieur de la coque. Pour réduire le nombre de composants, un bouton de commande (1) commun est associé à l'interrupteur marche/arrêt (10) et au potentiomètre (11). Ce bouton de commande (1) est monté rotatif et à déplacement axial sur la coque (4) de l'aspirateur. Le réglage axial du bouton de commande (1) permet de commander l'interrupteur marche/arrêt et le réglage en rotation du bouton de commande (1) permet de commander le potentiomètre conçu sous forme de potentiomètre rotatif (11).
