Abstract

The vacuum cleaner suction head unit (1) has a rotary brush cylinder (2) in the housing (3) with end bearings (4,5) of which one (5) may be turned anticlockwise to release a locking boss engaging a slot in the bearing holder (12) and then axially moved to release the brush.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung für Bürstwalzen von Bodenpflegegeräten, insbesondere Teppichreinigungsgeräten, in Form eines Bürststaubssaugers oder Bürstvorsatzes mit mindestens einer rotierenden Bürstwalze und die Bürstwalze oder mindestens eine der Bürstwalzen beidseitig über Lager in einem Bürstengehäuse angeordnet sind, wobei ein abnehmbares Loslager zur Entnahme der Bürstwalze angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for brushing rollers of floor care appliances, in particular carpet cleaning equipment, in the form of a Bürststaubssaugers or Bürstvorsatzes with at least one rotating brush roller and the brushing roller or at least one of the brush rollers are arranged on both sides via bearings in a brush housing, with a removable floating bearing for removal of the Brush roll is arranged.

Anordnungen dieser Art sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen für die Entnahme der Bürste für Reinigungs- und Wartungszwecke bekannt. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß es oftmals für den Benutzer des Gerätes schwierig ist, ein Loslager ohne Werkzeug durch einen einfachen Handgriff zu entfernen und gleichzeitig in eingesetztem Zustand eine erforderliche Fixierung für eine ausreichende Betriebssicherheit zu ermöglichen.Arrangements of this type are known in different designs for the removal of the brush for cleaning and maintenance purposes. It has been found that it is often difficult for the user of the device, a floating bearing without tools by a simple handle remove and at the same time allow a required fixation in the inserted state for a sufficient operational safety.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, für eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung eine einfache Ausbildung für ein Loslager zu schaffen, das durch eine Drehbewegung einsetzbar und lösbar sowie axial entfernbar ist, um die Entnahme der Bürstwalze zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to provide for a generic arrangement a simple design for a floating bearing, which can be used by a rotary motion and releasably and axially removable to allow the removal of the brushing roller.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß das Loslager auf das Bürstengehäuse über ein oder mehrere Kragenelemente verschwenkbar aufsetzbar ist, wobei ein zugeordneter Endbereich des Bürstengehäuses mindestens zwei Verriegelungselemente aufweist, die über eine Führung bajonettartig in eine jeweils korrespondierende Nut des verdrehbaren Loslagers einsetzbar sind und das Loslager in seiner Endstellung über eine Verriegelung am Bürstengehäuse festsetzbar ist.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention in that the floating bearing on the brush housing via one or more collar elements is pivotally placed, wherein an associated end portion of the brush housing has at least two locking elements, which are a bayonet-like guide in a corresponding groove of the rotatable floating bearing and can be used the floating bearing in its end position can be fixed via a lock on the brush housing.

Hierdurch ist es möglich, durch eine Drehbewegung eine Halterung zu erzielen und zusätzlich zur Arretierung in der schließenden Drehrichtung eine zusätzliche Verriegelung in der lösenden Drehrichtung vorzusehen. Alle zur Funktion nötigen Elemente sind somit im Loslager integriert und werden auf ein Gegenstück aufgesetzt, so daß keine gesonderten Teile eingesetzt wurden.This makes it possible to achieve a holder by a rotational movement and to provide additional locking in the releasing direction of rotation in addition to the locking in the closing direction of rotation. All elements necessary for the function are thus integrated in the movable bearing and are placed on a counterpart, so that no separate parts were used.

Eine günstige Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß die Führung des Verriegelungselementes am Loslager als schiefe Ebene ausgebildet ist und das Verriegelungselement eine korrespondierende Abschrägung aufweist.A favorable education is created by the fact that the leadership of the locking element is formed on the floating bearing as an inclined plane and the locking element has a corresponding bevel.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, daß die verriegelung über eine mit dem Loslager korrespondierende, verschwenkbare Raste am Bürstengehäuse gebildet ist.It is also proposed that the lock on a corresponding with the floating bearing, pivotable detent is formed on the brush housing.

Die Ausbildung wird zweckmäßigerweise derart ausgebildet, daß das Loslager mindestens durch eine Rotationsbewegung von 90 Grad zur Freigabe der Verriegelungselemente ausgebildet ist.The training is suitably designed such that the floating bearing is formed at least by a rotational movement of 90 degrees to release the locking elements.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Gesamtdarstellung eines Bürstvorsatzes mit aufgeschnittenem Gehäuse und getrennt dargestellte, vergrößerte Loslager in entriegelter und verriegelter Position,
Fig. 2
eine zusätzlich vergrößerte Darstellung des Loslagers in entriegelter Position,

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically. Show it:
Fig. 1
an overall perspective view of a brush attachment with cut housing and shown separately, enlarged floating bearing in unlocked and locked position,
Fig. 2
an additional enlarged view of the floating bearing in unlocked position,
Fig. 3
a view like FIG. 2 in the locked position.

Bei der dargestellten Anordnung ist ein Bürstvorsatz 1 mit einer rotierenden Bürstwalze 2 in einem Bürstengehäuse 3 gezeigt. Die Bürstwalze 2 ist dabei beidseitig über Lager 4 und 5 angeordnet, wobei das Lager 5 als Loslager abnehmbar zur Entnahme der Bürstwalze 2 angeordnet ist.In the illustrated arrangement, a brush attachment 1 with a rotating brush roller 2 in a brush housing 3 is shown. The brush roller 2 is arranged on both sides via bearings 4 and 5, wherein the bearing 5 is detachably arranged as a movable bearing for removal of the brush roller 2.

Das Loslager 5 ist hierbei über Kragenelemente 12 verschwenkbar auf das Ende des Bürstengehäuses 3 aufsetzbar. Zur Verriegelung sind am Bürstengehäuse 3 zwei Verriegelungselemente 6 angeordnet, die durch eine Drehbewegung des Loslagers 5 jeweils über eine zugeordnete schiefe Ebene 7 als Zuführung in eine Nut 8 bajonettartig einsetzbar sind. Hierzu ist eine korrespondierende Abschrägung 9 am Verriegelungselement 6 angeordnet.The floating bearing 5 is in this case via collar members 12 pivotally mounted on the end of the brush housing 3. For locking 3 two locking elements 6 are arranged on the brush housing, which by a rotational movement of the movable bearing 5 in each case via a associated inclined plane 7 can be used as a feeder in a groove 8 bayonet-like. For this purpose, a corresponding chamfer 9 is arranged on the locking element 6.

In der eingesetzten Arbeitsstellung des Loslagers 5 greift ein Haltelement 10 zur Verriegelung hinter eine Raste 11 am Bürstengehäuse. Die Raste 11 ist dabei verschwenkbar angeordnet, um das Loslager 5 gegebenenfalls wieder zu entriegeln.In the inserted working position of the movable bearing 5, a holding element 10 engages behind a latch 11 on the brush housing for locking. The catch 11 is arranged pivotably to unlock the movable bearing 5, if necessary again.
