Definitions
- the invention relates to a cleaning device for a razor.
- the invention further relates to a system consisting of a shaving apparatus and a cleaning device and to a method for cleaning a shaving apparatus.
- Cleaning devices for shavers are used to remove hair particles and other dirt adhering to the shaving head area.
- Such cleaning devices are already known in various functional and design variants, some of which are operated manually and some electrically.
- a manually operated cleaning device is known from EP 0 743 883 B1.
- a device for rinsing objects such as a shaving unit of a rotating dry shaver is disclosed.
- the known cleaning device has two containers for a rinsing liquid.
- One container has a variable volume, so that the rinsing liquid can be pumped around by varying the volume between the containers and the shaving unit arranged in a receiving space between the containers can be rinsed with the liquid flow.
- a filter is provided through which the liquid flow is pressed in a flow direction predetermined by means of a valve arrangement.
- a cleaning device for an electric shaver which has a container with a receiving opening for the shaving head area of the shaver.
- a motor-driven conveying device for generating a circulating flow of a cleaning liquid and a device for collecting hair particles and other particles are arranged in the container.
- the shaving head area is flowed through by cleaning liquid and at the same time the shaver connected to the cleaning device is put into operation.
- DE 44 02 238 C2 discloses a cleaning device for the shaving head of a dry shaver.
- the cleaning device has a receiving part for the shaving head of the shaving apparatus and at least one cleaning fluid container.
- the receiving part is arranged above the liquid level of the cleaning liquid and can be supplied with cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid container via a motor-driven conveying device.
- the receiving part is via an overflow device and / or connected to the cleaning liquid container via at least one outlet opening.
- DE 690 21 898 T2 discloses a dry shaving apparatus with a drivable shear member and a separately drivable oscillating device.
- the vibrator is used to loosen hair particles and other contaminants that adhere to the shear member or other parts of the shaver.
- the oscillating device is put into operation by reversing the direction of rotation of the electric motor of the shaving apparatus in comparison with the direction of rotation used in the shaving operation. In this reverse direction of rotation, a claw coupling, which drives the shear member in the normal direction of rotation, generates an oscillatory movement.
- a reversing switch is provided on the shaver to reverse the direction of rotation. It is also possible that the electric motor is automatically put into operation in the opposite direction of rotation for a short period of time after the shaving apparatus has been switched off.
- the invention has for its object to provide a cleaning device for a shaving apparatus so that it can be manufactured inexpensively and provides a very good cleaning result with an acceptable level of operating convenience.
- the cleaning device according to the invention for a shaving apparatus has a container for receiving the shaving apparatus, the container being at least partially filled with a cleaning liquid.
- the special feature of the cleaning device according to the invention is that a device for limiting the depth of immersion of the shaving apparatus in the container is provided depending on the level of the cleaning liquid.
- the invention has the advantage that a very good cleaning result can be achieved with relatively little effort. It has a particularly advantageous effect here that the device for the cleaning liquid is required and no other electrical or electronic components are required.
- the limiting device provided according to the invention ensures that the shaving apparatus is always wetted with cleaning liquid up to the same level regardless of the level of the cleaning liquid in the container. Another advantage is the ease of use of the cleaning device according to the invention.
- the device for limiting the immersion depth is designed as a buoyancy body arranged in the container. With the buoyancy body, the immersion depth can be limited simply, inexpensively and reliably.
- a trough-like depression for the shaver can be formed in the buoyancy body. The depression can open into at least one flow opening for the cleaning liquid that completely penetrates the buoyancy body. It is particularly advantageous if the recess opens at its deepest point into the throughflow opening or into one of the throughflow openings, since then an unimpeded inflow and outflow of the cleaning liquid is possible and, moreover, it is ensured that hair particles or other soiling detached from the shaving apparatus largely Leave the well and sediment in the container.
- the buoyancy body is preferably dimensioned with a view to the liquid level in its recess so that the shaving apparatus is wetted with cleaning liquid up to a predetermined level. It is thus easy to specify which area of the shaving apparatus is to be cleaned using the buoyancy body.
- the cleaning device can be designed, for example, in such a way that the liquid level required for the predetermined level of wetting in the recess of the buoyancy body is set when the buoyancy body is loaded with the razor. It is also possible that the required liquid level is already achieved through the weight of the buoyancy body.

- the holding device can be designed such that it can be displaced vertically between an upper and a lower position.
- the buoyancy body can have means for limiting the downward movement of the holding device.
- a storage recess for the shaving apparatus in the cleaning device according to the invention.
- a holding device as a drying rack for the shaver can then be dispensed with.
- the container can have a viewing window for reading the fill level of the cleaning liquid.
- a level control can be implemented with little effort and is very reliable and precise.
- the invention further relates to a system consisting of a razor and the cleaning device according to the invention for cleaning the razor.
- the shaving apparatus has an actuating device for activating a cleaning function, which temporarily puts the shaving apparatus into operation during the cleaning process.
- the system according to the invention has the advantage that the shaver can be equipped with a cleaning program that is optimal for its design and that the effort for implementing the cleaning program in the cleaning device can be eliminated.
- the cleaning device does not require any electrical or electronic components, since the control is carried out by the shaver.
- the actuating device can be operated manually. Likewise, it is also possible to design the actuating device in such a way that it can be operated by the cleaning device and thus the handle otherwise required for operating the actuating device is also eliminated.
- the shaving apparatus is placed in a container which is at least partially filled with a cleaning liquid Cleaning device immersed.
- the special feature is that the depth of immersion of the shaver in the container is limited depending on the level of the cleaning liquid.
- the shaving apparatus is preferably introduced into a recess in a buoyancy body, which is filled with cleaning liquid to a predetermined level during the cleaning process. The buoyancy body can be locked before or when the shaver is inserted.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention with a razor in the drying position in a sectional view
- FIG. 2 shows the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 1 with the shaving apparatus in the cleaning position in a sectional view
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a second exemplary embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention without a shaving apparatus
- FIG. 4 shows the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 3 in a perspective exploded view
- Fig. 5 shows a third embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention with the shaver in the drying position in a sectional view and
- Fig. 6 shows the embodiment of Fig. 5 with the shaver in the cleaning position in a sectional view.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the cleaning device 1 according to the invention in a sectional view.
- the cleaning device 1 has a cartridge 2 for storing a cleaning liquid 3.
- a viewing window 4 for reading the filling level of the cleaning liquid 3 is embedded in the side wall of the cartridge 2.
- a float 5 made of a floatable material, for example made of polystyrene, is arranged inside the cartridge 2.
- the buoyancy body 5 has a trough-like depression 6, which side of the cartridge 2 is open. At its deepest point, the recess 6 opens into a through-flow opening 7 which completely penetrates the buoyancy body 5, so that the cleaning liquid 3 can flow into the recess 6 or flow out of the recess 6 when the draft of the buoyancy body 5 changes.
- the cartridge 2 has a receiving opening 8 for an electric shaver 9.
- the lateral positions of the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2 and the depression 6 of the buoyancy body 5 are matched to one another in such a way that the receiving opening 8 is arranged above the depression 6.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is fastened to a holding device 10 which is arranged on the top of the cartridge 2.
- the holding device 10 is designed in such a way that it fixes the shaving apparatus 9 in a position above the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2 and thus also above the depression 6 of the buoyant body 5. This position is referred to below as the drying position since the shaving apparatus 9 is brought into this position for drying after the cleaning process.
- Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of Fig. 1 during the cleaning process in a sectional view.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is inserted in the area of its shaving head 11 into the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2 and the shaving head 11 is placed in the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5, so that the shaving apparatus 9 is supported on the buoyancy body 5.
- a cover of the receiving opening 8, which is not shown in the figures, may be removed beforehand. Due to the weight of the razor 9, the draft of the buoyancy body 5 increases and the razor 9 plunges deeper into the cartridge 2. At the same time, the cleaning liquid 3 flows through the throughflow opening 7 into the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5, so that the liquid level in the recess 6 rises.
- the buoyancy body 5 When the fill level is low, the buoyancy body 5 is located in the lower region of the cartridge 2, so that the razor 9 plunges deep into the cartridge 2. The immersion depth of the razor 9 in the cartridge 2 is thus by the buoyancy body 5 on one of the Level of the cleaning liquid 3 dependent value limited, the liquid level in the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5 is always the same when loaded with the razor 9 and thus the shaving head 11 of the razor 9 is always wetted by the cleaning liquid 3 to the same level.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is put into operation in the cleaning position shown in FIG. 2 after a short soaking time for a time of approximately one to two minutes.
- the soaking time is such that an effective cleaning of the shaving head 11 is possible in the subsequent operating phase and yet the total time required for the cleaning process is not unnecessarily extended.
- the start-up of the shaving apparatus 9 can be carried out in different ways.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is switched on manually with a switch 12, which is also used to switch the shaving apparatus 9 on and off when performing a shave, and is switched off again after a desired period of time.
- a cleaning button for activating a cleaning program is provided on the shaver 9 in addition to the switch 12, with which the shaver 9 is automatically put into operation for one or more periods after the cleaning button has been operated manually.
- a soaking time is provided between the operating phases.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is equipped with an actuating device for activating the cleaning program, which is automatically operated by the cleaning device 1 when the shaving head 11 is inserted into the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2, so that the cleaning program is started automatically.
- an intensive cleaning effect can be achieved by starting up the shaving apparatus 9 and hair particles and other dirt can be removed from the area of the shaving head 11. This is based on a relative movement between the cleaning liquid 3 and the components of the shaving head 11, which is generated with the aid of the drive motor of the shaving apparatus 9, so that an electrically operated conveying device for the cleaning liquid 3 can be dispensed with in the cleaning device 1 according to the invention.
- the detached hair particles and dirt can sink through the flow opening 7 to the bottom of the cartridge 2.
- the cleaning process can be optimized in terms of the cleaning result and the total time required for cleaning by dimensioning the operating times of the shaving apparatus 9 and the intermediate soaking times.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is removed from the cartridge 2 and attached to the holding device 10 in such a way that the shaving head 11 is arranged above the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2. In this position, any residues of the cleaning liquid 3 remaining on the shaving head 11 can drip into the cartridge 2.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is removed from the recess 6 of the buoyant body 5, the draft of the buoyant body 5 is reduced in accordance with the reduced load.
- part or even all of the cleaning liquid 3 present there, including any hair particles and dirt that may be contained therein flows through the throughflow opening 7 out of the depression 6 of the buoyancy body 5. The hair particles and dirt sediment from the bottom of the cartridge 2 , so that the cleaning liquid 3 is again available in a relatively clean state for the next cleaning process.
- Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the cleaning device 1 according to the invention in a perspective view.
- An associated exploded view is shown in Fig. 4.
- the second embodiment largely corresponds functionally to the first embodiment.
- the second exemplary embodiment does not have the holding device 10 for fixing the shaving apparatus 9 above the receiving opening 8 of the cartridge 2, but rather has a storage recess 13 into which the shaving apparatus 9 can be placed for drying.
- the storage recess 13 is integrated in an upper part 14 of the cleaning device 1, which is arranged on the cartridge 2, and has an outlet (not visible in FIGS. 3 and 4) in the cartridge 2.
- the receiving opening 8 is also integrated in the upper part 14 and arranged on a lower level next to the storage tray 13.
- the receiving opening 8 can be closed by means of a sliding cover 15.
- a first support rubber 16 for the shaving apparatus 9 is arranged in the storage recess 13.
- a second support rubber 17 is arranged in the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5 for the same reasons.
- the viewing window 4 provided in the first embodiment for observing the fill level of the cleaning liquid 3 in the cartridge 2 can also be present in the second embodiment.
- the sliding cover 15 is opened by sliding it sideways.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is then inserted with the shaving head 11 first into the receiving opening 8 inserted and arranged in the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5.
- the cleaning process takes place in a manner corresponding to that described for the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is removed from the recess 6 of the buoyancy body 5 and placed in the storage trough 13 for drying. Furthermore, the receiving opening 8 is closed with the sliding cover 15.
- the shaver 9 is in the drying position.
- the shaving apparatus 9 is fixed on the holding device 10, which is designed to be height-adjustable in this exemplary embodiment.
- the holding device 10 is biased by a lift spring 18 in the direction of the drying position, which simultaneously represents the upper end position of the holding device 10.
- the third exemplary embodiment differs from the first and second exemplary embodiments in particular in that the buoyancy body 5 is designed in such a way that its own weight results in the draft required for wetting the shaving head 11 to the desired level.
- the third embodiment has a locking mechanism with which the buoyancy body 5 can be fixed in its height position.
- the locking mechanism consists of a slope 19 formed on the holding device 10, which cooperates with a pin 20 which is mounted in the side wall of the cartridge 2 so as to be horizontally displaceable.
- the pin 20 is biased towards the bevel 19 by means of a pressure spring 21 and, when the spring force of the pressure spring 21 is overcome, engages in a hole pattern 22 on the side of the buoyancy body 5.
- the buoyancy body 5 also has a hook 23 on its upper side which can be hooked into an eyelet 24 formed on the holding device 10.
- the pin 20 is not engaged in the hole pattern 22 of the buoyancy body and the hook 23 of the buoyancy body 5 is not hooked into the eyelet 24 of the holding device 10, so that the buoyancy body 5 is movable in the vertical direction and consequently one of the Fill level of the cleaning liquid 3 in the cartridge 2 dependent height position.
- the depression 6 of the buoyant body 5 is filled to a level which is predetermined by the draft of the buoyant body 5 and is independent of the fill level of the cleaning liquid 3 in the cartridge 2, with cleaning liquid 3 which can flow in and out through the throughflow opening 7.
- it is first fixed to the holding device 10 in the drying position shown in FIG. 5.
- the holding device 10 is then lowered with the razor 9 until the cleaning position shown in FIG. 6 is reached.
- FIG. 6 shows the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 5 with the shaving apparatus 9 in the cleaning position in a sectional illustration.
- the pin 20 is pressed into the hole pattern 22 by the action of the bevel 19 and thereby locks the buoyancy body 5 in the current height position.
- the hook 23 of the buoyancy body 5 strikes the holding device 10 in the area of the eyelet 24 and prevents the holding device 10 from further lowering.
- the hook 23 automatically snaps into the eyelet 24 of the holding device 10 in this position. Since the buoyancy body 5 is locked against the cartridge 2 by the pin 20, the holding device 10 is also fixed with respect to its height position by the snap-in of the hook 23 in addition to the buoyancy body 5.
- the shaving apparatus 9 dips with its shaving head 11 to the desired level into the cleaning liquid 3 and, as described in detail with reference to the first exemplary embodiment, can be put into operation manually or automatically in order to achieve an optimal cleaning effect.
- the hair particles or dirt removed from the shaving head 11 sink at least in part through the throughflow opening 7 to the bottom of the cartridge 2.
- the hook 23 is manually released from the eyelet 24, so that the holding device 10 including the razor 9 is lifted into the drying position by the lift spring 18.
- the pin 20 slides over the slope 19 and moves away from the buoyancy body 5 due to the action of the pressure spring 21, so that it is finally released from the hole pattern 22 and the buoyancy body 5 is unlocked.
- the shaver 9 can remain in the drying position for a while to drain and dry.
- the buoyancy body 5 does not move while the shaving apparatus 9 is transferred from the drying position into the cleaning position and back again. Nevertheless, the buoyancy body 5 limits the movement of the holding device 10 and thus also the immersion depth of the razor 9 in the cartridge 2 when changing to the cleaning position depending on the fill level of the cartridge 2. This results from the fact that the height position of the buoyancy body 5 in the unlocked state from the fill level the cleaning fluid liquid 3 depends in the cartridge 2 and the hook 23, by which the movement of the holding device 10 is limited, is arranged on the buoyancy body 5.
- the principle of operation of the third embodiment i. H. the locking of the buoyancy body 5, which already has the draft required for wetting the shaving apparatus 9 due to its own weight, can also be used in the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the second embodiment is equipped with an appropriately dimensioned buoyancy body and modified so that the buoyancy body 5 is locked in its current height position by opening the sliding cover 15. When the sliding cover 15 is closed after the shaving apparatus 9 has been removed from the receiving opening 8, the locking is released again.
