Definitions

  • receptacles 18 are provided for load weights 19 on the underside. These receptacles 18 form a plug-in guide 20 extending transversely to the strips 10 for a loading weight 19. Since the receptacles 18 have their insertion openings in the side walls 9 of the suction head 1 ( Fig. 3 ), these receptacles 18 are closed by the strips 10 inserted into the longitudinal guides 12, which brings a secure mounting of the load weights 19 within the plug-in guides 20 with it. With removed strip 10, the load weight 19 can, however, be removed and replaced for example by a load weight of different sizes.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Sauger zum Reinigen von mit Flüssigkeit gefüllten Becken, insbesondere Schwimmbecken, mit einem an eine Saugleitung anschließbaren, über eine angelenkte Griffstange entlang einer zu reinigenden Beckenfläche bewegbaren Saugkopf, der über reihenweise angeordnete Borstenbündel an der zu reinigenden Beckenfläche abstützbar ist und seitliche, gegebenenfalls als Bürste ausgebildete Leisten trägt.The invention relates to a nipple for cleaning liquid-filled pool, in particular swimming pool, with a suction connected to a suction via a hinged handle bar along a movable pool surface to be cleaned suction head, which is supported on rows arranged bristle bundles on the pool surface to be cleaned and lateral, possibly designed as a brush strips carries.

Zum Reinigen des Bodens und der Wände eines Schwimmbeckens ist es bekannt ( US 4 498 206 A , FR 2 241 275 A ), Sauger einzusetzen, die aus einem, an eine Saugleitung anschließbaren Saugkopf bestehen, der gegen den Beckenboden vorstehende, reihenweise angeordnete Borstenbündel trägt. Der über eine angelenkte Griffstange von Hand aus zu führende Saugkopf stützt sich über diese Borstenbündel am Beckenboden ab, die bei einer Bewegung des Saugkopfes über den Beckenboden einerseits für ein Ablösen der am Beckenboden abgelagerten Verunreinigungen sorgen und anderseits die Absaugung der abgelösten Verunreinigungen durch die Ausbildung von Strömungskanälen zwischen den reihenweise angeordneten Borstenbündeln unterstützen. Zusätzlich kann der Saugkopf an den seitlichen Rändern eine umlaufende Reinigungsleiste tragen, beispielsweise aus einem gummielastischen Profil ( FR 1 105 171 A ). Es ist aber auch bekannt, seitlich abstehende Borstenbündelreihen in Form von Leisten vorzusehen, die das Abtragen von Verunreinigungen im Übergangsbereich vom Beckenboden zu den Beckenwänden erleichtern sollen. Diese seitlichen Leisten unterliegen im allgemeinen einem größeren Verschleiß als die gegen den Boden gerichteten Borsten und bestimmen daher im wesentlichen die Standzeit solcher Saugköpfe. Dazu kommt, daß solche Saugköpfe durch Belastungsgewichte beschwert werden, um einen ausreichenden Anpreßdruck der Borsten an den Boden sicherstellen zu können, ohne diesen Anpreßdruck von Hand aus über die Griffstange aufbringen zu müssen. Diese Belastungsgewichte werden in Aufnahmen überwiegend auf der Unterseite des Saugkopfes vorgesehen, wobei die Aufnahmen durch einen angeklebten oder angeschweißten Deckel abgeschlossen sind, um die Belastungsgewichte dem Saugkopf unverlierbar zuzuordnen. Dieser dauerhafte Verschluß bringt allerdings den Nachteil mit sich, daß die Belastungsgewichte von vornherein festgelegt werden müssen. Außerdem ist eine nach Werkstoffen getrennte Entsorgung solcher Saugköpfe kaum möglich, weil der Saugkopf mit den Borstenbündeln aus Kunststoff, die Belastungsgewichte aber im allgemeinen aus Metall bestehen.For cleaning the floor and the walls of a swimming pool, it is known ( US 4,498,206A . FR 2 241 275 A ), To use suckers, which consist of a, connectable to a suction suction head, which bears against the pelvic floor projecting, arranged in rows bristle bundles. The suction head to be guided by hand via a hinged handle bar is supported by these bristle bundles on the bottom of the pelvis, which, on the one hand, move the suction head over the pelvic floor to remove the contaminants deposited on the bottom of the pelvis and, on the other hand, remove the detached contaminants through the formation of Support flow channels between the rows of bundles of bristles. In addition, the suction head can carry on the lateral edges of a circumferential cleaning strip, for example, from a rubber-elastic profile ( FR 1 105 171 A ). However, it is also known to provide laterally projecting bundles of bristle bundles in the form of strips which are intended to facilitate the removal of contaminants in the transition region from the bottom of the pool to the walls of the pool. These side strips are generally subject to greater wear than the bristles directed towards the bottom and therefore essentially determine the service life of such suction heads. In addition, such suction cups are weighted by load weights in order to ensure a sufficient contact pressure of the bristles to the ground, without having to apply this contact pressure by hand on the handlebar. These load weights are provided in recordings predominantly on the underside of the suction head, wherein the recordings by a glued or welded lid are completed to assign the load weights captive the suction head. However, this permanent closure has the disadvantage that the load weights must be set from the outset. In addition, a separate materials for disposal of such suction heads is hardly possible because the suction head with the bristle bundles made of plastic, the load weights but generally made of metal.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Sauger zum Reinigen von mit Flüssigkeit gefüllten Becken, insbesondere Schwimmbecken, der eingangs geschilderten Art so auszugestalten, daß die Standzeit erhöht werden kann. Außerdem sollen vorteilhafte Konstruktionsvoraussetzungen geschaffen werden, um eine einfache Anpassung der Gewichtsbelastung des Saugkopfes an die jeweiligen Anforderungen zu ermöglichen.The invention is therefore based on the object, a sucker for cleaning liquid-filled pool, in particular swimming pools, of the type described in such a way that the service life can be increased. In addition, advantageous design conditions are to be created to allow easy adjustment of the weight load of the suction head to the respective requirements.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß die seitlichen Leisten ausziehbar in seitlichen Längsführungen des Saugkopfes gelagert und durch lösbare Federrasten axial festgelegt sind.The invention solves the problem set by the fact that the side strips extendable mounted in lateral longitudinal guides of the suction head and are axially fixed by releasable spring detents.

Das durch diese Lagerung der Leisten mögliche Auswechseln dieser Leisten erlaubt zunächst beim Einsatz von mit Bürstenborsten besetzten Leisten den Ersatz verschlissener Bürstenleisten durch unverschlissene, so daß die Standzeit des gesamten Saugkopfes nicht mehr durch die Standzeit dieser mit Borstenbündeln besetzten Leisten begrenzt wird. Trotz dieser Auswechselbarkeit wird eine allen Anforderungen genügende Halterung der Leisten am Saugkopf erreicht, weil durch die Aufnahme der Leisten in seitlichen Längsführungen des Saugkopfes eine über diese Längsführungen durchgehende Abstützung der Leisten gewährleistet werden kann, ohne eine Beeinträchtigung der Anordnung der Borstenbündel oder eine Vergrößerung der Leistenabmessungen befürchten zu müssen. Da die Leisten innerhalb der Längsführungen durch lösbare Federrasten festgelegt werden, ist auch die Befestigung der Leisten am Saugkopf bzw. das Abnehmen der Leisten denkbar einfach. Werden die Leisten als Schutzleisten ohne einen Bürstenbesatz ausgebildet, so ergeben sich ähnliche Vorteile hinsichtlich der Auswechselbarkeit verschlissener Leisten.The possible by this storage of strips replacement of these bars initially allows the use of occupied with bristles bristles the replacement worn brush bars by unverschlissene, so that the life of the entire suction head is no longer limited by the life of these occupied with bristle bundles last. Despite this interchangeability of all requirements sufficient holding the strips is achieved on the suction head, because through the inclusion of strips in lateral longitudinal guides of the suction over this longitudinal guides continuous support of the strips can be ensured without affecting the arrangement of the bristle bundles or an increase in the strip dimensions to fear. Since the strips are fixed by releasable spring detents within the longitudinal guides, the attachment of the strips on the suction head and the removal of the strips is also very simple. If the strips are designed as protective strips without brushing, then similar advantages arise with regard to the interchangeability of worn strips.

Besonders vorteilhafte Konstruktionsverhältnisse ergeben sich, wenn die Längsführungen aus je zwei auf einander gegenüberliegenden Saugkopfflächen angeordneten Führungsnuten oder Führungsstegen für axial aufschiebbare Halterungsstege oder Halterungsnuten der Leisten bestehen. Da die Führungsnuten auf einander gegenüberliegenden Saugkopfflächen angeordnet sind, werden die axial in diese Führungsnuten eingeschobenen Halterungsstege der Leisten quer zur Längsrichtung der Führungsnuten formschlüssig im Saugkopf gehalten, so daß die Halterung der Leisten im wesentlichen von der Festigkeit der Halterungsstege abhängt. Gleiche konstruktive Vorteile werden erhalten, wenn in einer Funktionsumkehr nicht der Saugkopf, sondern die Leisten mit Halterungsnuten versehen werden, in die dann Führungsstege des Saugkopfes eingreifen.Particularly advantageous construction conditions arise when the longitudinal guides consist of two each arranged on opposite Saugkopffllächen guide or guide webs for axially slidable support webs or mounting grooves of the strips. Since the guide grooves are arranged on suction head surfaces lying opposite one another, the support webs of the strips inserted axially into these guide grooves are held in a form-fitting manner in the suction head transversely to the longitudinal direction of the guide grooves, so that the support of the strips essentially depends on the strength of the support webs. The same constructive advantages are obtained if, in a reversal of function, not the suction head, but the strips are provided with retaining grooves, which then engage guide webs of the suction head.

Die in seitliche Längsführungen des Saugkopfes einsetzbaren Leisten bieten nicht nur vorteilhafte Halterungsbedingungen für die auswechselbaren Leisten, sondern stellen auch eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für eine einfache auswechselbare Aufnahme von Belastungsgewichten dar. Zu diesem Zweck braucht ja lediglich der Saugkopf wenigstens eine gegen eine Leiste hin offene und von dieser Leiste verschließbare Aufnahme für ein Belastungsgewicht aufzuweisen, so daß das Belastungsgewicht bei abgenommener Leiste in die Aufnahme des Saugkopfes eingesetzt werden kann, um dann beim Einschieben der Leiste in ihre Längsführung die Aufnahme sicher zu verschließen. Die Belastung der Leiste durch das in die Aufnahme eingeschobene Belastungsgewicht erfolgt quer zur Längsführung der Leisten, so daß diese Belastung der Leisten ohne Gefahr für die Leistenhalterung auf den Saugkopf abgetragen werden kann. Besonders günstige Konstruktionsbedingungen können in diesem Zusammenhang eingehalten werden, wenn die Aufnahme aus einer quer zur Leiste verlaufenden Einsteckführung für ein Belastungsgewicht besteht. Durch diese Maßnahme wird der Saugkopf im Bereich der Längsführung der Leisten durch die stirnseitige Öffnung der Aufnahme kaum geschwächt.The strips which can be inserted into lateral longitudinal guides of the suction head not only offer advantageous holding conditions for the exchangeable strips, but also represent an essential prerequisite for a simple replaceable uptake of load weights. For this purpose, only the suction head needs at least one open against a bar and of this bar lockable recording for a load weight show, so that the load weight can be used with removed strip in the receptacle of the suction head, then to close the receptacle when inserting the bar in their longitudinal guide secure. The burden of the bar by the loading weight inserted into the receptacle takes place transversely to the longitudinal guidance of the strips, so that this load on the strips can be removed without risk for the strip holder on the suction head. Particularly favorable design conditions can be met in this context if the recording consists of a transversely extending to the bar insertion guide for a load weight. By this measure, the suction head is hardly weakened in the longitudinal guide of the strips by the frontal opening of the recording.

Der Sauger gemäß dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist einen Saugkopf 1 aus Kunststoff auf, der einen Drehanschluß 2 für eine Saugleitung 3 trägt, wie sie in der Fig. 3 strichpunktiert angedeutet ist. Zur Führung dieses Saugkopfes 1 dient eine Griffstange 4, die über eine Steckkupplung mit einer am Saugkopf 1 angelenkten Lagergabel 5 verbindbar ist. Die Anlenkachse dieser Lagergabel 5 ist mit 6 bezeichnet.The sucker according to the illustrated embodiment has a suction head 1 made of plastic, which carries a rotary connection 2 for a suction line 3, as shown in the Fig. 3 indicated by dash-dotted lines. To guide this suction head 1 is a handle bar 4, which is connected via a plug-in coupling with a hinged to the suction head 1 bearing fork 5. The pivot axis of this bearing fork 5 is denoted by 6.

Wie insbesondere der Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, sind auf der Unterseite des Saugkopfes 1 gegen die zu reinigende Beckenfläche vorstehende Borstenbündel 7 vorgesehen, über die sich der Saugkopf 1 an der zu reinigenden Beckenfläche abstützt. Diese Borstenbündel 7 sind in Reihen angeordnet, die die Funktion von Leitwänden für die Wasserströmung übernehmen, die durch die Saugöffnung 8 des Drehanschlusses 2 für die Saugleitung 4 angesaugt werden.How the particular Fig. 2 can be removed, are provided on the underside of the suction head 1 against the pool surface to be cleaned bristle bundles 7, via which the suction head 1 is supported on the pool surface to be cleaned. These bristle bundles 7 are arranged in rows, which take over the function of baffles for the water flow, which are sucked through the suction port 8 of the rotary connector 2 for the suction line 4.

Neben diesen gegen die zu reinigende Beckenfläche gerichteten Borstenbündeln 7 sind an den bezüglich der Lagergabel 5 seitlichen Wänden 9 des Saugkopfes 1 Leisten 10 mit nach der Seite abgespreizten Borstenbündeln 11 vorgesehen, um das Ablösen von Verunreinigungen im Übergangsbereich, beispielsweise vom Beckenboden zu den Beckenwänden zu erleichtern. Diese mit Borstenbündel 11 besetzten Leisten 10 sind im Gegensatz zu Saugköpfen herkömmlicher Art lösbar mit dem Saugkopf 1 verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck bildet der Saugkopf 1 im Bereich der Seitenwände 9 für die Leisten 10 Längsführungen 12, die aus je einer Führungsnut 13 auf der an die Seitenwand 9 anschließenden Ober- und Unterseite des Saugkopfes 1 verlaufen und daher nach entgegengesetzten Seiten hin offen sind. In diese Führungsnuten 13 lassen sich in axialer Richtung entsprechende Halterungsstege 14 (Fig. 3) einschieben, so daß die Leisten 10 in der Längsführung 12 eine formschlüssige Halterung finden, die lediglich gegen ein axiales Verschieben der Leisten 10 zu sichern ist. Hiefür weisen die Seitenwände 9 Rastkörper 15 auf, die in Rastausnehmungen 16 der Leisten 10 schnappverschlußartig eingreifen, wenn die Leisten 10 in die Längsführung 12 eingeschoben werden. Da die Leisten 10 über die Längsführung 12 hinaus verlängert sind, um den vorderen Eckbereich des Saugkopfes 1 zu übergreifen, wird die Leiste 10 in diesem gebogenen Endabschnitt 17 zusätzlich verrastet, und zwar wiederum mit Hilfe eines federnden Rastkörpers 15 auf dem Saugkopf 1 und einer Rastausnehmung im Endabschnitt 17 der Leiste 10.In addition to these bristle bundles 7 directed against the pool surface to be cleaned, strips 10 with bristle bundles 11 spread out to the side are provided on the side walls 9 of the suction head 1, in order to facilitate the detachment of impurities in the transitional area, for example from the pool bottom to the pool walls , This occupied with bristle bundles 11 strips 10 are in contrast to suction heads conventional type releasably connected to the suction head 1. For this purpose, the suction head 1 forms in the region of the side walls 9 for the strips 10 longitudinal guides 12 which extend from a respective guide groove 13 on the adjoining the side wall 9 top and bottom of the suction head 1 and therefore are open towards opposite sides. In these guide grooves 13 can be in the axial direction corresponding Support webs 14 ( Fig. 3 ), so that the strips 10 find in the longitudinal guide 12 a positive retention, which is only 10 to secure against axial displacement of the strips. For this purpose, the side walls 9 latching body 15 which engage in snap recesses 16 of the strips 10 like a snap closure when the strips 10 are inserted into the longitudinal guide 12. Since the strips 10 are extended beyond the longitudinal guide 12 also to engage over the front corner region of the suction head 1, the strip 10 is additionally locked in this bent end portion 17, again with the aid of a resilient latching body 15 on the suction head 1 and a recess in the end portion 17 of the bar 10th

Zur Beschwerung des Saugkopfes 1 sind auf dessen Unterseite Aufnahmen 18 für Belastungsgewichte 19 vorgesehen. Diese Aufnahmen 18 bilden eine quer zu den Leisten 10 verlaufende Einsteckführung 20 für ein Belastungsgewicht 19. Da die Aufnahmen 18 ihre Einführöffnungen in den Seitenwänden 9 des Saugkopfes 1 haben (Fig. 3), werden diese Aufnahmen 18 durch die in die Längsführungen 12 eingesetzten Leisten 10 verschlossen, was eine sichere Halterung der Belastungsgewichte 19 innerhalb der Einsteckführungen 20 mit sich bringt. Bei abgenommener Leiste 10 kann das Belastungsgewicht 19 allerdings entnommen und beispielsweise durch ein Belastungsgewicht unterschiedlicher Größe ersetzt werden.For weighting of the suction head 1 receptacles 18 are provided for load weights 19 on the underside. These receptacles 18 form a plug-in guide 20 extending transversely to the strips 10 for a loading weight 19. Since the receptacles 18 have their insertion openings in the side walls 9 of the suction head 1 ( Fig. 3 ), these receptacles 18 are closed by the strips 10 inserted into the longitudinal guides 12, which brings a secure mounting of the load weights 19 within the plug-in guides 20 with it. With removed strip 10, the load weight 19 can, however, be removed and replaced for example by a load weight of different sizes.
