Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a arranged in a receiving area of the vacuum cleaner housing, interchangeable filter having a through hole through which extends a support arm for fixing the filter, which is fixed at its upper end to the vacuum cleaner housing or the vacuum cleaner motor and the lower End a fastening member for attaching the filter is releasably connectable.
  • a fastening device for the interchangeable filter is required.
  • a threaded rod is provided for this purpose, which is attached at its upper end to the housing or vacuum cleaner motor and passes through the central passage opening of the filter and protrudes with its lower end from this.
  • a holding plate is attached, which rests against the underside of the filter and is secured by means of a screwed onto the threaded rod knurled nut or wing nut.
  • clip fasteners in which a clip is attached to the lower end of the support arm protruding from the passage opening through the filter and spans the passage opening of the filter and bears against the lower side surface of the filter. Even with such a clasp closure, the replacement of the filter is rather cumbersome.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved attachment for the filter in a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned, wherein the filter is very easily replaceable and yet a reliable attachment of the filter can be achieved. According to the invention, this is achieved by a vacuum cleaner with the features of claim 1.
  • the actuating ring of the fastening member in its release position, after which the fastening member can be removed from the support arm.
  • this process can be performed with only a single hand.
  • the attachment of a new filter is very easy to carry out by the device according to the invention, wherein after attaching the filter on the support arm, the fastening member is pushed onto the lower end of the support arm until the engagement elements engage in the radial recess.
  • no manual adjustment of the actuating ring is required in its release position, so that the attachment of the fastening member at the lower end of the support arm can be advantageously carried out with only one hand.
  • the lower end of the support arm is formed by a pin which has the circumferentially extending around this recess and which is inserted in the fastened state of the filter in an insertion of the fixing member and is locked in this by the engagement elements, wherein the Actuator surrounds the introducer.
  • Engagement elements whose radial displacement is blocked in a blocking position of an actuating ring and whose radial displacement is released in a release position of the actuating ring, are known from clutch arrangements forth, the connecting means for conduit sections of conduits for liquid or gaseous media or conduits for conducting electricity or light.
  • An example of a fluid coupling arrangement of this kind is shown in DE 199 15 291 A1. In such coupling devices, the two interconnectable coupling parts are flowed through by the medium to be conductive.
  • the vacuum cleaner shown schematically in Fig. 1 represents a central vacuum.
  • the vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner housing 1, in which a vacuum cleaner motor 2 is arranged.
  • a filter 4 is further arranged, which is formed by a replaceable cartridge or cartridge.
  • the filter 4 has a central, axially extending passage opening 5, through which a holding arm 6 extends, which is held at its upper end on the vacuum cleaner motor 2 and / or on the vacuum cleaner housing 1.
  • the support arm is fixed with its upper end to a support plate 7, which lies between an intermediate wall 8 of the vacuum cleaner housing 1 and the vacuum cleaner motor 2.
  • the holding arm 6 is sleeve-shaped or tube-like over most of its longitudinal extension, its lateral surface being provided with slots 9.
  • the lower end portion of the support arm 6 is formed by a pin 10 which is screwed into a lower boundary wall 11 of the sleeve or tubular portion of the support arm 6.
  • the pin 10 is inserted into an insertion sleeve 12 of a fastening member 13 and latched therein (see Fig. 3).
  • a holding plate 14 of the fastening member 13 is thereby pressed against the underside of the filter 4 in the region around the through-hole 5, whereby the upper end of the filter 4 is pressed against the intermediate wall 8 and the filter 4 is fixed in the receiving area 3 of the housing 1.
  • the upper and the lower end of the through-opening 5 are in this case essentially hermetically sealed by the intermediate wall 8 or by the holding plate 14.
  • the fastening member 13 has, as already mentioned, an insertion sleeve 12, which surrounds a receiving space 19 for the pin 10.
  • the insertion sleeve 12 is surrounded by an actuating ring 20.
  • the fastening member 13 further comprises engaging elements 21 which engage in the fixed state of the filter shown in Fig. 3 in a radial recess 22 of the pin 10, as shown in FIG. 3 can be seen.
  • the radial recess 22 is formed in this embodiment of the side wall of a pin 10 annularly surrounding groove-like recess 23.
  • a radially inwardly protruding projection 25 of the actuating ring 20 is in the blocking position of the actuating ring 20 shown in FIG. 3 over the entire axial extent of the engagement elements 21 radially outside the same and blocks them against a radial displacement of the recess 23 of the pin 10th
  • the actuating ring 20 is starting from its blocking position in which it locks the engagement elements 21 against radial displacement to the outside and a withdrawal of the fastening member 13 is locked by the support arm 6, adjustable in a release position in which it the engagement elements 21 for a radial displacement to outside releases and in which the fastening member 13 is removable from the support arm 6.
  • the actuating ring 20 is additionally shown in dashed form in its release position. In the release position, the radial projection 25 of the actuating ring 20 is below upper portions of the engagement elements 21.
  • the engagement elements 21 in the illustrated embodiment each have a resilient latching arm 26 which extends from a base plate 27 through the window recess 24 inwardly, wherein it extends obliquely to a normal to the longitudinal axis 28 of the attachment member 13 plane and from the Einsteckseite the insertion 12 is directed away.
  • the latching arm 26 can not be pushed radially outwards in the blocking position of the actuating ring 20 from the recess 22 when a force which pulls apart acts on the fastening member 13 and the journal 10.
  • the locking arm 26 can be pushed away from a starting bevel 29 at the front end of the pin 10 during insertion of the pin 10 into the insertion sleeve 12 to the outside, without the actuating ring 20 has to be adjusted for this purpose in its release position.
  • the actuating ring 20 is biased by a spring 30 in the form of a coil spring in its blocking position.
  • a spring 30 in the form of a coil spring in its blocking position.
  • the axial guidance of the actuating ring 20 takes place here by both sides of a respective engaging member 21 arranged in the axial direction extending webs 31, of the Insertion sleeve protrude radially outward and also serve to guide the engagement elements 21. Between these webs 31, the projections 25 are guided.
  • Stops for limiting the axial displacement of the actuating ring 20 are formed in the embodiment shown on the one hand by inwardly projecting projections 32 which abut in the release position at the edge of the radially outwardly projecting bottom 33 of the insertion sleeve 12, and on the other hand formed by locking projections 34 which in the Locking position abut on an outwardly projecting collar 35 of the insertion sleeve 12, which is arranged in the region of the insertion side of this.
  • the retaining plate 14 may be attached to the insertion sleeve 12 or rest only loosely on this.
  • the actuating ring for adjustment between its blocking position and its release position only in the axial direction of the insertion sleeve relative to this displaceable. It would also be conceivable and possible for a rotation of the actuating ring about the longitudinal axis of the insertion sleeve to be necessary before the axial displacement of the actuating ring to release the locking takes place.
  • Such an adjustment of an actuating ring is described, for example, in DE 199 15 291 A1 mentioned in the introduction to the description in connection with fluid coupling arrangements.
  • engagement elements 21 are used.
  • the actuating ring 20 in turn has a radially inwardly projecting projection 25 which blocks in the blocking position of the actuating ring, a displacement of the engagement elements 21 radially outward and holds the engagement elements 21 in the groove-shaped recess 23 of the pin 10. Pulling out of the pin 10 from the insertion tube 12 is thereby blocked. After the displacement of the actuating ring 20 in its release position (in the direction of arrow 36), the engagement elements 21 can escape radially outward.
  • the engagement elements 21 are pushed out of the recess 23 by the inclined flank 37 of the pin 10.
  • the actuating ring 20 For insertion of the pin 10 in the insertion sleeve 12 and engaging in the same in this embodiment, the actuating ring 20 must be moved to its release position.
  • FIG. 7 Another possible embodiment is shown in FIG.
  • the engagement elements 21, of which, for example, three or four can be provided in the circumferential direction, are connected here via spring-elastic arms 38 with the actuating ring 20.
  • the arranged at the remote from the actuating ring 20 ends of the arms 38 engaging elements 21 pass through a window recess 24 in the insertion 12.
  • blocking position of the actuating ring 20 engages behind an axial extension 39 of the respective engaging member 21 on the insertion side facing Side of the window recess 24 located edge of the window recess, which is directed slightly radially inward in this embodiment.
  • the in the attachment member to be introduced pin may be formed in the manner as it is formed in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • the engagement elements 21 are attached via arms 38 to an intermediate ring 41, which surrounds the insertion sleeve 12 in the region of the insertion side for the pin 10.
  • the pin 10 may in turn be formed in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the arranged at the ends of starting from the intermediate ring 41 in the insertion direction and obliquely inwardly extending arms engaging elements 21 in turn enforce a window recess 24 of the insertion 12.
  • the engaging member 21 engages with his from the arm 38th remote end of the edge of the window opening 24, which lies on the insertion side of the insertion tube 12.
