Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a vacuum cleaner of the generic type is known from DE 198 04 621 A1. This has a cover part which closes a space provided in the vacuum cleaner housing. In its position closing the room, the cover part is held firmly on the vacuum cleaner housing.
- the lid part is fastened to the vacuum cleaner housing in that latching and counter-latching elements are provided, by means of which the lid part can be pre-fixed in a position spaced apart from the position taken up in its space-closing position.
- a disadvantage of vacuum cleaners from the prior art is that the actuating elements for locking or unlocking lids are either provided at a hidden point on the vacuum cleaner, or are attached to the lid in such a visible manner that the external appearance, i.e. the design is noticeably destroyed.
- the actuating element is often not immediately recognized by the user and he has to go on a longer search until he can open the lid.
- the user often does not like the appearance of the vacuum cleaner when making a purchase decision.
- the object of the invention is to provide a generic vacuum cleaner, the external appearance of which is appealing. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the lid should be easier and more ergonomic.
- actuating element is an integral part of the outer surface of the cover.
- the outer surface of the lid generally shapes the overall appearance of a vacuum cleaner. In the majority of cases, it is a dust chamber cover that closes the space for dust separators, such as filter bags or solid dust boxes. But it can also be the lid of an accessory compartment that contains accessories such as upholstery and crevice nozzles. For example, in order to be able to remove a full dust bag, the user has to unlock the lid by means of an actuating element in order to be able to open the receiving space. If the actuating element is an integral part of the outer surface of the lid, then the actuating element is apparently easily recognizable without the overall appearance of the vacuum cleaner being disturbed. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the actuating element is designed like a shell as a segment of the cover.
- the actuating element becomes a structural part of the cover and integrates particularly well into the geometry of the cover.
- the actuating element is no longer perceived as a separate component, but as part of the cover. Viewed from a distance, the actuating element withdraws as a functional component and blends harmoniously into the appearance of the vacuum cleaner.
- the actuating element can preferably have an outer surface, the shape of which is adapted to the outer surface of the cover. Alternatively or additionally, the actuating element can have a free side edge, which forms part of the contour of the cover. As a result, the actuating element integrates to a particular extent in the lid shape and the design specified by the lid is continued without disruptive interruption.
- An inner wall can be formed on the inner surface of the lid, which extends over the underside of the actuating element facing the receiving space and closes the opening of the receiving space together with the lid in its closed position.
- Such an inner wall is particularly useful if a clearance is provided between the actuating element and the cover, through which e.g. a dust room could not be sealed airtight.
- An airtight seal can, however, be ensured if the recesses provided between the actuating element and the cover are positively closed by a hidden inner wall.
- the inner wall If there is a free edge on the inner wall, it can be designed such that in the closed position of the cover it bears against a seal that runs around the opening of the receiving space. This ensures that in the closed position of the lid e.g. a dust room is sealed airtight.
- a so-called airtight seal can also be useful when it is a matter of avoiding that noises generated by a blower unit get out as little as possible, that is to say an acoustic seal is to be achieved.
- the cover has at least one cutout which is arranged running between the actuating element and the remaining part of the outer wall of the cover.
- the actuating elements according to the invention which particularly fit into the appearance of the vacuum cleaner, it can be difficult to perceive the actuating element.
- at least one cutout is proposed, which is arranged running between the actuating element and the remaining part of the outer wall of the cover. This creates a visual distinction between the actuator and cover. Furthermore, depending on the size or depth of the relief, different elasticities can be impressed on the actuating element.
- plastic such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or other commonly used materials
- PP polypropylene
- PE polyethylene
- the at least one clearance can be designed to be open to the edge.
- the at least one cutout can in particular be slit-shaped. This creates a particularly high degree of elasticity and, when manufactured as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part, the open-edge recesses can be produced with simple tools and thus inexpensively.
- two slot-shaped recesses are formed in the cover, which are each brought up to one end of the free side edge of the actuating element.
- the actuating element In order to be able to actuate the actuating element in a particularly coordinated manner, it can be connected to the lid via a material weakening in the wall thickness of the lid or of the actuating element. Such a weakening of material forms a film hinge.
- the advantage of this is that the force and the path for moving the actuating element can be set independently of the material predetermined for the cover and independently of the shape for the actuating element and the recesses.
- the coordination is based on the shape and thickness of the material weakening.
- the film hinge can be arranged to run in the plane in which the actuating element and / or the cover extends. This design of the film hinge interrupts the outer appearance of the cover and the actuating element to a small extent. An almost closed level is achieved for the entire lid. However, the film hinge can also be discarded out of the plane in which the actuating element and / or the cover extends. Such a design can be particularly useful if the material for the cover is very hard and the actuating element should, however, be able to be actuated with very little effort.
- the fault can be drawn in as a U-shaped bead or as a half loop in the direction of the inside of the cover.
- a large number of snake-like faults can also be useful in order to achieve particularly high elasticity.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner with an opened dust chamber cover, which has an actuating element according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows the dust chamber cover from Figure 1 in a front view.
- a vacuum cleaner shown in FIG. 1 has a housing 1.
- the housing 1 there is a receiving space 2, which can be closed by a cover 3.
- the receiving space 2 is designed as a dust space. Dust-laden air, which reaches the interior of the dust chamber 2 via an inlet connection 4 by means of a suction hose (not shown), can be collected and collected either in a filter bag 5 or in a dust box (not shown).
- the cover 3 forms a dust chamber cover, which is pivotably mounted on the housing 1 of the vacuum cleaner by means of a hinge 6. In the closed position of the cover 3, an opening 7 through which the dust chamber 2 is accessible from the outside is closed. An outer edge 8 of the cover 3 lies against a seal 9 fastened in the housing 1 and closes the dust chamber 2 in an airtight manner.
- An actuating element 10 is provided on the cover 3 in the area of the inlet connection 4.
- the actuating element 10 is molded onto the cover 3.
- the actuating element 10 has a leaf-like contour and its surface is curved like a shell.
- the actuating element 10 is designed as a segment of the cover 3.
- the shape of the surface of the actuating element 10 largely corresponds to the shape of the surface of the cover 3.
- a free side edge 11 of the actuating element 10 is in the position and shape of the contour 12 of the lid 3 adjusted.
- a number of latching elements 14 are integrally formed on the actuating element 10 directly on the free side edge 11 or at least in the vicinity thereof.
- Counter latching elements 15 corresponding to the latching elements 14 are formed on the housing 1. In the closed position of the lid 3, the latching elements 14 engage in the counter-latching elements 15 and prevent the lid 3 from being accidentally opened the lid 3 is released for swinging open.
- transition region which both holds the actuating element 10 on the cover 3 and also pivots.
- This transition area is thinned out in terms of its wall thickness relative to the actuating element 10 or the cover 3, i.e. dimensioned as material weakening.
- the transition region thus forms a film hinge 17.
- the edge-free recesses 16 extend from the contour 12 of the cover 3 or from the free side edge 11 of the actuating element 10 to the transition area between the actuating element 10 and the cover 3, i.e. up to the film hinge 17.
- FIG. 2 shows the cover 3 with the actuating element 10 from the front.
- the cutouts 16 which are open at the edge are shown in the form of a slot in this view.
- the opening width of the slot-shaped recesses 16 is shown exaggerated.
- the cutouts 16 are narrowed to a gap width of a few tenths of a millimeter.
- the cutouts 16 are therefore shown in FIG. 2 with a very wide gap width in order to show in this view an inner wall 18 which is molded onto the inner surface of the cover 3.
- the inner wall 18 extends below the actuating element 10 and covers the cutouts 16 which are open at the edge from the inside.
- the lower free edge 19 of the inner wall 18 in FIG. 2 lies in the closed position of the cover on the housing 1 of the vacuum cleaner on the seal 9 shown in FIG.
- the receiving space 2 (FIG. 1) is sealed airtight by the inner wall 18, even if the cover has the cutouts 16 that are open at the edge.
