Abstract

A household appliance, particularly a vacuum cleaner, has a housing of rigid material and formed with at least two interconnected housing parts and a handle that is also made of a rigid material. The household appliance is rendered especially rigid and the risk of losing grip of the handle of the appliance is reduced by integrating the handle into a stiffening element that is disposed at the intersection of the housing parts and by providing the handle with a cover that is made of a softer material.

Description

Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere Staubsauger Household appliance, in particular vacuum cleaners
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einen Staubsauger nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.
Kleinere transportable Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise Staubsauger, weisen ein Gehäuse auf, an dem ein Handgriff vorgesehen ist, an dem das Gerät erfasst und von einem Ort zu einem anderen Ort getragen werden kann. Der am Gerät vorgesehene Handgriff besteht aus zumindest einem ähnlich steifen oder auch harten Material wie das Gehäuse des Gerätes selbst. Dieses Material ist relativ glatt, so dass es beim Erfassen oder Tragen des Gerätes am Handgriff leicht zu einem Abrutschen kommen kann. Außerdem sind die üblicherweise zwei- oder mehrteilig aufgebauten Gehäuse der genannten Geräte an ihrer Gehäusetrennstelle weniger steif und stoßempfindlich.Smaller portable household appliances, such as vacuum cleaners, have a housing on which a handle is provided, on which the device can be gripped and carried from one location to another location. The handle provided on the device consists of at least a similarly stiff or hard material as the housing of the device itself. This material is relatively smooth, so that it can easily slip off when gripping or carrying the device on the handle. In addition, the housings of the devices mentioned, which are usually constructed in two or more parts, are less rigid and sensitive to shocks at their housing separation point.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einenThe invention has for its object a household appliance, in particular a
Staubsauger vorzuschlagen, bei welchem die Nachteile des Standes der Technik mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen vermieden sind.To propose a vacuum cleaner in which the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided with simple design measures.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Haushaltsgerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Versteifungselement verbindet dieThis object is achieved by a household appliance with the features of claim 1. The stiffening element provided according to the invention connects the
Gehäuseteile in einer besonders steifen Verbindung, wobei eine zuverlässige Verbindung von Gehäuse und Handgriff dadurch erzielt wird, dass der Handgriff Bestandteil des Versteifungselements ist. Die Tragesicherheit wird durch einen Überzug aus weicherem Werkstoff erzielt. Weichere Werkstoffe haben von Natur aus eine höhere Haftwirkung, so dass beim Erfassen des mit einem Überzug aus weicherem Material versehenen Handgriffes die Gefahr des Abrutschens wesentlich vermindert ist. Gleichzeitig erfährt die Schnittstelle zwischen den Gehäuseteilen eine deren Stoßempfindlichkeit herabsetzende Versteifung.Housing parts in a particularly rigid connection, wherein a reliable connection of the housing and the handle is achieved in that the handle is part of the stiffening element. The wearing safety is achieved by a cover made of softer material. Naturally, softer materials have a higher adhesive effect, so that when the handle provided with a coating of softer material is gripped, the risk of slipping is significantly reduced. At the same time, the interface between the housing parts experiences a stiffening which reduces their sensitivity to shock.
Aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen kann es vorteilhaft sein, den Überzug auf denFor manufacturing reasons, it can be advantageous to cover the
Handgriff im 2-Komponenten-Spritzgußverfahren aufzuspritzen. Damit kann der Überzug bereits während der Herstellung des Verbundbauteils • von Versteifungselement und Handgriff in einem Fertigungsschritt kostengünstig und zeitsparend hergestellt werden.Spray on the handle using the 2-component injection molding process. This means that the coating can already be made during the manufacture of the composite component Stiffening element and handle can be produced inexpensively and in a time-saving manner in one production step.
Alternativ besteht auch die Möglichkeit den Überzug als gesondertes Teil auszubilden und auf das Versteifungselement aufzubringen. Dies ist dann von Vorteil, wenn wegen der räumlichen Größe des Gerätes ein direktes Aufspritzen zu umständlich oder zu teuer ist. Die Montage eines als gesondertes Teil ausgebildeten Überzuges wird besonders einfach, wenn der Überzug auf den Handgriff aufschnappbar ist. Das Aufschnappen kann beispielsweise durch Rastnasen erfolgen, die an der Innenseite des Überzugs angeformt sind und in Aussparungen am Gehäuse einrasten bzw. einschnappen. In einem spätenAlternatively, there is also the possibility of forming the cover as a separate part and applying it to the stiffening element. This is advantageous if, due to the spatial size of the device, direct spraying is too cumbersome or too expensive. The installation of a cover designed as a separate part becomes particularly simple if the cover can be snapped onto the handle. The snapping can take place, for example, by means of locking lugs which are integrally formed on the inside of the cover and which snap or snap into recesses on the housing. In a late
Fertigungsstadium ist noch Produktionsdifferenzierung möglich.Production differentiation is still possible.
Eine Verbesserung der Haftwirkung des Überzugs lässt sich dadurch erreichen, dass zumindest im Mittenbereich des den Handgriff aufweisenden Versteifungselements an dem Überzug Riefen und/oder Noppen ausgebildet sind.An improvement in the adhesive effect of the coating can be achieved in that grooves and / or knobs are formed on the coating at least in the middle region of the stiffening element having the handle.
Die Riefen und/oder Noppen bilden eine grobe bzw. raue Struktur, wodurch ein Entgleiten des Handgriffs aus der Hand des Benutzers verhindert ist.The grooves and / or knobs form a coarse or rough structure, which prevents the handle from slipping out of the user's hand.
Haushaltsgeräte und hier insbesondere Staubsauger weisen ein aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen bestehendes Gehäuse auf. BeiHousehold appliances and here in particular vacuum cleaners have a housing consisting of two housing parts which can be connected to one another. at
Staubsaugern ist es je nach Konstruktion des Gehäuses erforderlich, dass die beiden Gehäuseteile möglichst dicht miteinander verbunden sind. Daher ist bei Staubsaugern an der Trennfuge zwischen den beiden Gehäuseteilen eine entsprechende Abdichtung notwendig. Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an dem Überzug mindestens eine in die Trennfuge der miteinander zu verbindenden Gehäuseteile einfügbare Stoßleiste einteilig angeformt ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass auf eine gesonderte gummielastische Dichtung verzichtet werden kann. Solche Dichtungen sind im allgemeinen erforderlich, um den Staubraum nach außen hin staubdicht und geräuscharm abzudichten. Wenn ein erfindungsgemäßer Überzug aus weichem Werkstoff bereits vorgesehen ist, kann dieser weicherDepending on the design of the housing, vacuum cleaners require that the two housing parts are connected as tightly as possible. A suitable seal is therefore necessary on vacuum cleaners at the parting line between the two housing parts. According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one bumper strip which can be inserted into the joint of the housing parts to be connected to one another is integrally formed on the coating. This has the advantage that there is no need for a separate rubber-elastic seal. Such seals are generally required in order to seal the dust space to the outside in a dust-tight and low-noise manner. If a coating of soft material according to the invention is already provided, it can be softer
Werkstoff gleichzeitig die elastische Dichtung bilden. Die Dichtung erhält durch den Versteifungsrahmen eine vorgegebene Position und Form, wodurch die Montage der Dichtung erleichtert wird. In vorteilhafter Weise können der Überzug und die Dichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass sie gleichzeitig die Funktion einer Stoßleiste übernehmen. Der Überzug kann entlang der Außenkante des Versteifungselements an der Schnittstelle der Gehäusehälften verlaufen und über die Oberfläche des Gehäuses seitlich hervorstehen. Damit wird insbesondere bei fahrbaren Staubsaugern, die während durchzuführender Reinigungsarbeiten häufig weiterbewegt werden müssen und dabei an Gegenständen anstoßen können, ein entsprechender Stoßschutz erreicht. Der fahrbare Staubsauger stößt dabei nur mit der hervorstehenden Stoßleiste an Gegenständen an und das gegenüber der Stoßleiste zurückversetzte Gehäuse bleibt verschont.Material form the elastic seal at the same time. The gasket is given a predetermined position and shape by the stiffening frame, which facilitates the assembly of the gasket. The covering and the seal can advantageously be designed in such a way that they simultaneously take on the function of a bumper strip. The coating can run along the outer edge of the stiffening element at the interface of the housing halves and project laterally over the surface of the housing. A corresponding shock protection is thus achieved, in particular in the case of mobile vacuum cleaners, which frequently have to be moved further during the cleaning work to be carried out and which can hit objects. The mobile vacuum cleaner only touches objects with the protruding bumper strip and the housing set back compared to the bumper strip is spared.
In Verbindung mit dem Versteifungselement ergibt sich für das Gehäuse ein robuster Aufbau. Vorzugsweise weist das Versteifungselement ein aus hartem Werkstoff gebildetes Rahmenteil auf, das an der Schnittstelle zwischen den verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen vorgesehen ist. Indem das Versteifungselement als geschlossener Rahmenzug ausgebildet ist, ergibt sich ein besonders stabiler Aufbau des Versteifungselements. Die Stabilität des Staubsaugergehäuses kann dadurch auf einfache Weise wesentlich erhöht werden.In connection with the stiffening element, the housing has a robust construction. The stiffening element preferably has a frame part made of hard material, which is provided at the interface between the connectable housing parts. Because the stiffening element is designed as a closed frame pull, the stiffening element has a particularly stable structure. The stability of the vacuum cleaner housing can be increased significantly in a simple manner.
Das Rahmenteil kann als gesondertes Bauteil ausgebildet sein, das mit einem derThe frame part can be designed as a separate component that with one of the
Gehäuseteile verbindbar ist. Besonders bei großen Haushaltsgeräten, bzw. Staubsaugern kann es kostengünstiger sein, das Rahmenteil vorzufertigen, beispielsweise im Kunststoff-Spritzgußverfahren und es anschließend an einem Gehäuseteil zu befestigen. Handgriff und Rahmenteil können dagegen einteilig ausgeführt sein. Ein besonders steifer Aufbau ergibt sich, wenn das Rahmenteil als ein einteilig geschlossener Rahmenzug ausgebildet ist, der einen vorbestimmten Teilabschnitt der Gehäusekontur einfasst. Durch die Anordnung des Rahmenzugs entlang der Gehäusekontur insbesondere eines Staubsaugers ist das Rahmenteil möglichst weit außen am Gerät angebracht und dadurch besonders verwindungssteif.Housing parts is connectable. In the case of large household appliances or vacuum cleaners in particular, it may be less expensive to prefabricate the frame part, for example using the plastic injection molding process, and then to fasten it to a housing part. Handle and frame part, however, can be made in one piece. A particularly rigid construction is obtained if the frame part is designed as a one-piece closed frame pull which surrounds a predetermined section of the housing contour. Due to the arrangement of the frame pull along the housing contour, in particular a vacuum cleaner, the frame part is attached as far as possible to the outside of the device and is therefore particularly torsion-resistant.
Ein gesondertes Dichtungsteil für die Abdichtung des Staubraumes durch den Staubraumdeckel erübrigt sich dadurch, dass an dem Rahmenteil eine umlaufende Dichtung vorgesehen ist, die sich entlang einer Trennfuge zwischen Gehäusekante und Staubaufnahmeraum erstreckt.A separate sealing part for sealing the dust space through the dust space cover is unnecessary in that a circumferential one on the frame part Seal is provided, which extends along a parting line between the housing edge and the dust-receiving space.

The bumper strip 8 not only extends along the outer edge of the frame part 11, but is extended beyond the frame part 11 in such a way that the bumper strip 8 extends over the entire lateral circumference of the vacuum cleaner when the stiffening element 1 is installed. The bumper 8 is not only formed on the left and right lateral outer edge of the frame part 11, but also comprises two free ends 9a and 9b. The free ends 9a and 9b run in the installed state along the joint between the housing halves, which enclose the engine compartment 20. The free ends 9a and 9b not only serve as a bumper 8, but also form the seal 10b, which closes the engine compartment. On the side of the frame part 11 opposite the free ends 9a and 9b, the bumper strip 8 flows smoothly into the handle 4. On the outside of the handle 4 is formed by the transition bumper 8, a soft elastic cover 5, which also serves as a bumper and also serves as a soft, non-slip grip area.
An der Innenseite des Handgriffs 4 ist ein zusätzlicher weichelastischer Abschnitt angeformt, der mit Noppen 6 versehen ist. Die Noppen 6 erhöhen die Hafteigenschaften, wodurch ein Entgleiten des Staubsaugers aus der Hand desAn additional soft-elastic section is formed on the inside of the handle 4 and is provided with knobs 6.

Benutzers verhindert ist.User is prevented.
In der Figur 3 ist der Handgriff 4 in einer Schnittansicht A-A gezeigt. Das Versteifungselement 1 aus hartem Werkstoff ist über das Rahmenteil 11 hinaus bogenförmig verlängert, wodurch sich ein D-förmiger Rahmenabschnitt 12 ergibt, der an das Rahmenteil 11 angrenzt. Dieser Rahmenabschnitt 12 bildet eine Grundstruktur des Handgriffs 4. An den Rahmenabschnitt 12 aus hartem Werkstoff ist an dessen nach unten offenem Hohlraum eine weichelastische Füllung 13 eingeformt. An der der weichelastischen Füllung 13 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Rahmenabschnitts 12 ist ein Überzug 5 aufgebracht. Der Überzug 5 ist aus weichelastischem Werkstoff und weist Noppen 6 auf, durch die der Handgriff rutschfest gegriffen werden kann.In Figure 3, the handle 4 is shown in a sectional view A-A. The stiffening element 1 made of hard material is extended in an arc shape beyond the frame part 11, which results in a D-shaped frame section 12 which adjoins the frame part 11. This frame section 12 forms a basic structure of the handle 4. A soft-elastic filling 13 is formed on the frame section 12 made of hard material at the hollow space which is open at the bottom. A coating 5 is applied to the side of the frame section 12 opposite the flexible filling 13. The cover 5 is made of soft elastic material and has knobs 6 through which the handle can be gripped non-slip.
In der Figur 4 ist das Rahmenteil 11 in einer Schnittansicht B-B im eingebauten Zustand gezeigt. Auf der oberen Seite des Rahmenteils 11 ist ein Material aus weichelastischem Werkstoff angeformt. An der Außenseite wird durch dieses weichelastische Material die Stoßleiste 8 gebildet. Diese Stoßleiste 8 weist annähernd D-förmigen Querschnitt auf. Durch die D-Form ergibt sich ein progressives Anstoßverhalten, d.h. mit zunehmender Eindringtiefe bei einem Anstoß an die D-förmige Stoßleiste 8 nimmt die Elastizität ab und die Stoßleiste bietet bei härteren Anstößen auch einen erhöhten Widerstand gegen das Anstoßen. An der Innenseite des Rahmenteils 11 ist die Dichtung 10 angeformt. Die Dichtung 10 besteht aus dem selben Werkstoff wie die Stoßleiste 8 und ist mit dieser einstückig an das Rahmenteil 11 angeformt. Die Dichtung 10 weist eine nach oben ragende Dichtlippe 14 auf, die über den gesamten Umfang des Rahmenteils 11 umläuft. Im eingebauten Zustand liegt die Dichtlippe 14 an einer Gehäusekante 15 eines Staubraumdeckels 16 an. Die Dichtung 10 weist an ihrem unteren Ende zwei parallel verlaufende entlang des Rahmenteils 11 umlaufende Stege 17a und 17b auf. Diese Stege 17a und 17b bilden eine Führungsnut in die eine Gehäusewand 18 des unteren Gehäuseteils 3 im eingebauten Zustand eingefügt ist. Die4 shows the frame part 11 in a sectional view B-B in the installed state. A material made of flexible material is molded onto the upper side of the frame part 11. The bumper strip 8 is formed on the outside by this soft and elastic material. This bumper strip 8 has an approximately D-shaped cross section. The D shape results in a progressive kick behavior, i.e. as the depth of penetration increases when the D-shaped bumper strip 8 is impacted, the elasticity decreases and the bumper strip also offers increased resistance to the impact in the case of harder impacts. The seal 10 is molded onto the inside of the frame part 11. The seal 10 consists of the same material as the bumper strip 8 and is integrally formed with it on the frame part 11. The seal 10 has an upwardly projecting sealing lip 14 which runs around the entire circumference of the frame part 11. In the installed state, the sealing lip 14 bears against a housing edge 15 of a dust chamber cover 16. The seal 10 has at its lower end two parallel webs 17a and 17b running along the frame part 11. These webs 17a and 17b form a guide groove into which a housing wall 18 of the lower housing part 3 is inserted in the installed state. The
Gehäusewand 18 bildet dadurch eine stabile Aufnahme und ein Widerlager zur Führung der Dichtlippe 14. In der Figur 5 ist das Rahmenteil 11 in einer Schnittansicht C-C im eingebautenHousing wall 18 thereby forms a stable receptacle and an abutment for guiding sealing lip 14.

Zustand gezeigt. An der Innenseite des Rahmenteils 11 ist die Dichtung 10 angeformt. Die Dichtung 10 besteht aus dem selben Werkstoff wie die Stoßleiste 8 und ist mit dieser einstückig an das Rahmenteil 11 angeformt. Die Dichtung 10 weist eine nach oben ragende Dichtlippe 14 auf, die über den gesamten Umfang des Rahmenteils 11 umläuft. Im eingebauten Zustand liegt die Dichtlippe 14 an einer Gehäusekante 15 eines Staubraumdeckels 16 an. Die Dichtung 10 weist an ihrem unteren Ende zwei parallel verlaufende entlang des Rahmenteils 11 umlaufende Stege 17a und 17b auf. Diese Stege 17a und 17b bilden eine Führungsnut in die eine Gehäusewand 18 des unteren Gehäuseteils 3 im eingebauten Zustand eingefügt ist. Die Gehäusewand 18 bildet dadurch auch in dem Bereich zwischen Staubraum 19 und Motorraum 20 eine stabile Aufnahme und ein Widerlager zur Führung der Dichtlippe 14. In dem Bereich des Rahmenteils 11 welcher zwischen Staubraum 19 und Motorraum 20 liegt, erübrigt sich das Anformen einer Stoßleiste 8. Um das Versteifungselement 1 besonders in diesem Bereich an der unteren Gehäusehälfte 3 stabil zu fixieren ist an den Querschnitt desCondition shown. The seal 10 is molded onto the inside of the frame part 11. The seal 10 consists of the same material as the bumper strip 8 and is integrally formed with it on the frame part 11. The seal 10 has an upwardly projecting sealing lip 14 which runs around the entire circumference of the frame part 11. In the installed state, the sealing lip 14 bears against a housing edge 15 of a dust chamber cover 16. The seal 10 has at its lower end two parallel webs 17a and 17b running along the frame part 11. These webs 17a and 17b form a guide groove into which a housing wall 18 of the lower housing part 3 is inserted in the installed state. As a result, the housing wall 18 also forms a stable receptacle and an abutment for guiding the sealing lip 14 in the region between the dust chamber 19 and the motor chamber 20. In the region of the frame part 11 which lies between the dust chamber 19 and the motor chamber 20, the molding of a bumper strip 8 is unnecessary. In order to fix the stiffening element 1 particularly in this area on the lower housing half 3, the cross section of the
Rahmenteils 1 1 ein harter Federsteg 21 angeformt, der in eine zugeordnete Nut 22 in der unteren Gehäusehälfte 3 eingreift. Dadurch ist das Rahmenteil 11 zusätzlich im Bereich zwischen Staubraum 19 und Motorraum 20 in seiner Lage fixiert.Frame part 1 1 formed a hard spring bar 21 which engages in an associated groove 22 in the lower housing half 3. As a result, the frame part 11 is additionally fixed in its position in the area between the dust space 19 and the engine space 20.
In der Figur 6 ist das Rahmenteil 11 in einer Schnittansicht D-D im eingebautenIn FIG. 6, the frame part 11 is installed in a sectional view D-D
Zustand gezeigt. In diesem Abschnitt, welcher sich im Bereich der freien Enden 9a, 9b befindet ist der weichelastische Werkstoff als Stoßleiste 8 ausgebildet. Die obere Gehäusehälfte 7 und die untere Gehäusehälfte 3 sind in diesem Bereich unlösbar miteinander verbunden, d.h. diese beiden Gehäusehälften sind während des Gebrauchs nicht trennbar. Daher erübrigt sich in diesem Bereich die Ausbildung einer innenliegenden Dichtlippe. In diesem Abschnitt weist die Stoßleiste 8 jedoch einen Stegabschnitt 22 auf, der zusammen mit der Stoßleiste 8 eine Nut 23 einschließt. In die Nut 23 greift die Gehäusewand 18 der unteren Gehäusehälfte 3 ein. Durch diese gesteckte Verbindung erhalten die weichelastischen freien Enden 9a, 9b eine Lagestabilisierung während der Montage und die Stoßleiste 8 ist in diesem Abschnitt zwischen oberer Gehäusehälfte 7 und unterer Gehäusehälfte 3 eingespannt. Condition shown. In this section, which is located in the area of the free ends 9a, 9b, the flexible material is designed as a bumper 8. The upper housing half 7 and the lower housing half 3 are permanently connected to one another in this area, i.e. these two housing halves cannot be separated during use. Therefore, the formation of an internal sealing lip is unnecessary in this area. In this section, however, the bumper strip 8 has a web section 22 which, together with the bumper strip 8, includes a groove 23. The housing wall 18 of the lower housing half 3 engages in the groove 23. This plugged connection gives the flexible, free ends 9a, 9b a position stabilization during assembly and the bumper strip 8 is clamped in this section between the upper housing half 7 and the lower housing half 3.
