Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger, mit in dessen Gehäuse angeordnetem Ein/Ausschalter und Potentiometer, welche Bauteile mittels an der Außenseite des Gehäuses vorgesehener Betätigungseinrichtung betätigbar sind.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, arranged in its housing On / off switch and potentiometer, which components by means of the outside of the Housing provided actuator are actuated.
Ein solcher Staubsauger ist durch das DE-U-80 20 858 bekannt. Bei diesem Staubsauger ist am Gehäuse eine Betätigungstaste für den Ein/Ausschalter und ein Drehknopf für die Verstellung eines Potentiometers angeordnet.Such a vacuum cleaner is known from DE-U-80 20 858. With this vacuum cleaner there is an actuation button for the on / off switch and a rotary knob on the housing arranged for the adjustment of a potentiometer.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Staubsauger der eingangs beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß der Aufwand an Bauteilen reduziert werden kann.The invention has for its object a vacuum cleaner of the type described Art in such a way that the expenditure on components can be reduced.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß dem Ein/Ausschalter und dem Potentiometer ein gemeinsamer Betätigungsknopf zugeordnet ist, der axial- und drehbeweglich am Gehäuse des Staubsaugers angeordnet ist, wobei durch die axialbewegliche Verstellung des Betätigungsknopfes eine Betätigung des Ein/Ausschalters und durch die drehbewegliche Verstellung des Betätigungsknopfes eine Betätigung des als Drehpotentiometer ausgebildeten Potentiometers erfolgt.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the On / off switch and the potentiometer is assigned a common actuation button, which is arranged axially and rotatably on the housing of the vacuum cleaner, whereby the axially movable adjustment of the operating button an operation of the on / off switch and by the rotatable adjustment of the operating button an operation of the trained as a potentiometer potentiometer.
Somit wird für das Ein- und Ausschalten sowie die Drehzahleinstellung des Gebläsemotors nur noch ein Betätigungselement benötigt. Hierdurch wird sowohl eine Einsparung an Materialkosten als auch an Montagekosten erzielt. Außerdem ergibt sich eine Platzeinsparung hinsichtlich der Anordnung der Bedienelemente.Thus for the in and Switching off and the speed setting of the blower motor only one actuating element needed. This will save both material costs and Assembly costs achieved. There is also a space saving in terms of arrangement of the controls.
Der Einfluß von Maßtoleranzen auf die Betätigung des Ein/Ausschalters wird dadurch ausgeschaltet, daß ein unter der Wirkung einer Federspannung stehender, in seinem einen Endbereich verschwenkbarer Betätigungshebel vorgesehen ist, der in seinem anderen Endbereich in Wirkverbindung mit der Betätigungstaste des als Tastschalter ausgebildeten Ein/Ausschalters bringbar ist und daß die Einwirkstelle des Betätigungsknopfes auf den Betätigungshebel zwischen dessen beiden Endbereichen liegt. Auftretende Maßtoleranzen am Betätigungsknopf bzw. bei dessen Plazierung am Staubsaugergehäuse werden durch den Betätigungshebel ausgeglichen und wirken sich somit nicht beim Betätigen des Ein/Ausschalters aus.The influence of dimensional tolerances on the actuation of the on / off switch is thereby switched off that one under the action of a spring tension, in his one End region pivotable actuating lever is provided, which is in its other End area in operative connection with the actuation button of the button switch On / off switch can be brought and that the point of action of the actuating button on the Actuating lever lies between its two end areas. Dimensional tolerances that occur on the control button or when it is placed on the vacuum cleaner housing the actuating lever balanced and thus do not affect the actuation of the On / off switch off.
Eine gesonderte Rückstellfeder für den Betätigungsknopf erübrigt sich dadurch, daß die auf den Betätigungshebel wirkende Federspannung als axiale Rückstellkraft für den Betätigungsknopf dient. Dabei kann der Betätigungshebel selbst als federnder Hebel ausgebildet sein, so daß kein gesondertes Federelement erforderlich ist.A separate return spring for the actuating button is unnecessary in that the spring tension acting on the operating lever as an axial restoring force for the Actuation button serves. The actuating lever itself can act as a resilient lever be designed so that no separate spring element is required.
Die Koppelung des Betätigungsknopfes mit dem Drehpotentiometer gelingt in einfacher Weise dadurch, daß an dem Betätigungsknopf eine axial vorspringende Verstellwelle vorgesehen ist, die axial beweglich jedoch drehfest mit dem Drehpotentiometer gekoppelt ist.Coupling the control button with the rotary potentiometer is easier Way in that an axially projecting adjusting shaft on the actuating button is provided, which is axially movable but non-rotatably coupled to the rotary potentiometer is.
Eine Sicherung des Drehpotentiometers in seiner jeweiligen Stellung wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Verstellwelle durch eine Bohrung des Betätigungshebels zu dem unterhalb des Betätigungshebels angeordneten Drehpotentiometer hindurchgeführt ist und an dem Betätigungshebel auf der dem Betätigungsknopf zugewandten Seite konzentrisch zu der Bohrung eine Rasterung ausgebildet ist, die mit einer an der am Betätigungshebel anliegenden Endfläche des Betätigungsknopfes ausgebildeten Gegenrastung zusammen wirkt.The rotary potentiometer is secured in its respective position by that the adjusting shaft through a hole in the actuating lever to the below the Actuating lever arranged rotary potentiometer is passed and on the Operating lever on the side facing the operating button concentric with the Bore a raster is formed, which with a on the actuating lever End surface of the actuating button trained counter-locking acts together.
Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, daß der Drehweg des Betätigunsknopfes durch ein Anschlagglied begrenzt ist. Damit wird eine Beschädigung des Drehpotentiometers vermieden.It is also advantageous that the path of rotation of the actuating button by a stop member is limited. This prevents damage to the rotary potentiometer.
Eine Drehwegbegrenzung wird auf konstruktiv einfache Weise dadurch erreicht, daß am Schaft des Betätigungsknopfes eine nach radial außen vorspringende Rippe und am Gehäuse des Staubsaugers ein in den Drehweg der Rippe ragender Anschlag vorgesehen ist.A rotation limit is achieved in a structurally simple manner in that A shaft of the actuating button has a rib projecting radially outwards and on the housing of the vacuum cleaner a stop projecting into the rotational path of the rib is provided.
Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend noch näher erläutert.Based on an embodiment shown in the drawing, the invention explained in more detail below.
Es zeigt:

Mit 1 ist ein Betätigungsknopf bezeichnet, an dem ein Schaft 2 angeformt ist. Mit dem
Schaft 2 ist der Betätigungsknopf 1 in eine an einem Staubsaugergehäuse 4 vorgesehene
röhrenförmige Vertiefung 3 eingesetzt. Im unteren Bereich des Schaftes 2 ist ein
Rastteller 5 an dem Schaft angebracht, der im in das Staubsaugergehäuse 4 eingesetzten
Zustand des Betätigungsknopfes 1 hinter einer aus der Seitenwand der röhrenförmigen
Vertiefung 3 vorstehenden Rastzunge 6 verrastet.1 with an actuation button is designated, on which a
Unterhalb des Rasttellers 5 tritt der etwas verjüngte Schaft 2 durch eine in der betreffenden
Wand des Staubsaugergehäuses 4 vorgesehene Durchstecköffnung 7. Der Schaft 2
wird im wesentlichen durch vier in Kreuzform angeordnete Schaftrippen 8 gebildet. Eine
Schaftrippe 8a erstreckt sich gegenüber den restlichen Schaftrippen 8 weiter nach radial
außen. Damit trifft diese Schaftrippe 8a beim Verdrehen des Betätigungsknopfes 1 auf
einen nach radial innen in die Durchstecköffnung 7 ragenden Anschlagnocken 9. Durch
diesen Anschlagnocken 9 wird die Drehbewegung des Betätigungsknopfes 1 auf unter 360°
begrenzt.Below the
Im Staubsaugergehäuse 4 ist eine Tragplatine eingebaut, auf der ein als Tastschalter 10
ausgebildeter Ein/Ausschalter und ein Drehpotentiometer 11 angeordnet sind. Der Tastschalter
10 und das Drehpotentiometer 11 sind in ein Kunststoffhalteteil 12 eingepaßt, das
seinerseits in geeigneter Weise an die Tragplatine angeklippt ist. An dem Kunststoffhalteteil
12 ist ferner ein Betätigungshebel 13 angeformt, der mit seinem einen Ende 14 verschwenkbar
mit dem Körper des Kunststoffhalteteiles 12 verbunden ist. Das andere Ende 15 des
Betätigungshebels 13 ragt frei über die Betätigungstaste 16 des Tastschalters 10.A support plate is installed in the
Etwa in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Enden 14 und 15 des Betätigungshebels 13 ist an
diesem eine Bohrung 17 vorgesehen, durch die eine sich in axialer Verlängerung des Schaftes
2 erstreckende und mit dem Schaft 2 verbundene Verstellwelle 18 hindurchgesteckt ist.
Mit ihrem freien Ende 19 greift die Verstellwelle 18 durch eine Ankoppelöffnung des Drehpotentiometers
11 hindurch. Eine solche Ankoppelöffnung ist in bekannter Weise schlitzförmig
oder als mit einer abgeflachten Seite versehene Rundöffnung ausgebildet. Die Verstellwelle
18 weist an ihrem freien Ende 19 ein der Form der Ankoppelöffnung entsprechendes
Querschittsprofil auf. Damit kann die Verstellwelle 18 mit ihrem freien Ende 19 in die Ankoppelöffnung
eingeführt werden. In axialer Richtung kann die Verstellwelle 18 gegenüber
der Ankoppelöffnung bewegt werden. In Drehrichtung besteht dagegen eine feste
Koppelung, so daß beim Verdrehen des Betätigungsknopfes 1 das Drehpotentiometer
11 verstellt wird.Approximately in the middle between the two
Der Betätigungshebel 13 ist derart an dem Kunststoffhalteteil 12 angeformt, daß er
bereits beim Anstecken des Betätigungsknopfes 1 an das Staubsaugergehäuse 4
etwas niedergedrückt wird. Hierdurch wird eine Gegenkraft auf den Betätigungsknopf 1
ausgeübt, durch die der am Schaft 2 angeformte Rasttelter 5 in Anlage an der Rastzunge
6 gehalten wird. Damit ist der Betätigungsknopf 1 am Staubsaugergehäuse 4 gesichert. In
Drehrichtung erhält der Betätigungsknopf 1 durch einen an ihm vorgesehenen und in die
röhrenförmige Vertiefung 3 eingreifenden Bund 20 eine entsprechende Führung.The actuating
Auf der dem Schaft 2 zugewandten Seite des Betätigungshebels 13 ist eine die Bohrung 17
konzentrisch umgebende, aus einzelnen Rastrippen bestehende Rasterung 21 vorgesehen.
In diese Rasterung 21 greifen an den freien Enden 22 der Schaftrippen 8 ausgebildete Rastleisten
23 ein, die somit die Gegenrastung bilden. Durch den Federdruck des vorgespannten
Betätigungshebel 13 stehen die Rastrippen der Rasterung 21 ständig in Eingriff mit den Rastleisten
22 der Schaftrippen 8, wodurch eine entsprechende Fixierung des Betätigungsknopfes
1 und damit des Drehpotentiometers 11 in seiner jeweiligen Stellung erreicht wird.On the side of the actuating
Beim Inbetriebsetzen bzw. beim Außerbetriebsetzen des Staubsaugers wird der Betätigungsknopf
1 jeweils niedergedrückt. Dabei trifft das andere Ende 15 des Betätigungshebels 13 auf
die Betätigungstaste 16 des Tastschalters 10 und drückt diese nieder. Hierdurch wird der
Tastschalter 10 ein- oder ausgeschaltet. Nach Loslassen des Betätigungsknopfes 1 wird dieser
durch die Federkraft des Betätigungshebels 13 wieder in seine Ausgangsstellung, in der der
Rastteller 5 wieder an der Rastzunge 6 anliegt, zurückgestellt. In Betätigungsrichtung wird der
Verstellweg des Betätigungsknopfes 1 durch das Auftreffen des Rasttellers 5 auf die Bodenwand
24 der röhrenförmigen Vertiefung 3 begrenzt. Hierdurch werden auch zu hohe und damit
schädliche Stoßkräfte auf den Betätigungshebel 13 bzw. auf den Tastschalter 10 vermieden.When the vacuum cleaner is started up or shut down, the actuation button is activated

Sollte die Federkraft des Betätigungshebel 13 für die Rückstellung des Betätigungsknopfes 1
nicht ausreichen, kann eine zusätzliche Feder vorgesehen werden. Eine solche zusätzliche
Feder wird auch dann eingesetzt, wenn der Betätigungshebel 13 von vornherein nicht als
fedemder Hebel ausgebildet ist.If the spring force of the actuating lever 13 for resetting the actuating
