Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a vacuum cleaner housing which comprises a lower part having a dirt collecting container and an upper part which can be placed on the lower part and accommodates a suction unit, and with a handle bracket which is pivotably mounted on the lower part and is U-shaped and has a handle as well as two legs protruding from the end of the handle, locking elements being arranged on the legs and on the upper part, which engage behind one another when the handle bar is aligned vertically.
- Such a vacuum cleaner is known from GB 2 250 427 A.
- the lower part forms a dirt collecting container which can be subjected to a negative pressure by means of the suction unit arranged in the upper part, so that dirt can be sucked into the collecting container.
- To empty the collecting container it is necessary to remove the upper part from the lower part, while an airtight connection of the upper part with the lower part must be ensured for the operation of the vacuum cleaner.
- the upper part can be locked to the lower part using the handle. For this purpose, it is necessary in the known vacuum cleaner to pivot the handle bar into its vertical position.
- the handle bar has a pin on the inner sides of the legs and a pin receptacle is arranged on the outer sides of the upper part, into which the pin engages when the handle bar is aligned vertically. In this position, the pin engages behind the associated receptacle, so that the upper part is locked to the lower part.
- the pin thus serves on the one hand to lock the upper part with the lower part, and on the other hand the handle is fixed in its vertical position with the aid of the pin.
- the definition of the handle bar simplifies handling of the vacuum cleaner. The handlebar is thus subjected to a considerable mechanical load, so that there is a risk of damage and thus a limitation of the lifespan of the vacuum cleaner.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the risk of damage to the vacuum cleaner when it is being handled can be reduced.
- latching elements are arranged at a distance from the locking elements at least on one leg and on the vacuum cleaner housing and can be brought into engagement with one another by pivoting the handle bar into its vertical position.
- the elements for locking the upper part with the lower part are decoupled from the elements for fixing the handle in its vertical position.
- Interacting locking elements are used to fix the handle in its vertical position, and in addition the vacuum cleaner comprises locking elements with which the upper part can be locked with the lower part. This makes it possible to design the locking and latching elements in different designs and to optimize them for their respective functions. This significantly reduces the risk of damage to the vacuum cleaner during its handling.
- the at least one latching element arranged on the vacuum cleaner housing is a resilient element Molded outer wall.
- This has the advantage that the structural elasticity of the outer wall can be used to form an elastic restoring force, against the action of which the locking elements arranged on the at least one leg and on the vacuum cleaner housing can be brought into engagement with one another.
- the shaping of the locking element on an outer wall of the vacuum cleaner housing also makes it possible to produce the vacuum cleaner inexpensively, the locking element connected in one piece to the outer wall also being able to withstand high mechanical loads.
- the at least one latching element arranged on the vacuum cleaner housing is preferably molded onto an edge section of an outer wall of the upper part facing the lower part.
- the outer wall is elastically deformable in such an edge section with relatively little effort, without fear of damage to the outer wall.
- the formula elasticity of the edge cut of the outer wall can be used to ensure a mechanically resilient fixing of the handle in its vertical position.
- the latching element arranged on the at least one leg is preferably molded onto a resilient wall section of the leg.
- the latching element can be designed to be particularly stable without it being necessary for the latching element to be deformable, the deformability required for producing a latching connection is rather ensured by the edge section of the leg, which is designed to be correspondingly elastic in shape.
- the two legs are double-walled at least at the height of the latching elements and have an inner wall facing the vacuum cleaner housing when the handle is vertically oriented and an outer wall facing away from the vacuum cleaner housing, the inner wall carrying at least one latching element and being resilient in the area of the latching element is trained.
- the inner wall is preferably connected to the outer wall via connecting webs, the latching elements of the respective leg being molded onto a free-standing edge section of the inner wall of the leg.
- the locking elements are designed as arcuate wall elements which are aligned concentrically with the pivot axis and engage behind one another at least when the handle is vertically aligned, which are arranged on the outside on the upper part and on the inside on the legs.
- the wall elements are preferably connected in one piece to the upper part or the respective leg.
- the wall elements engage behind a pivoting range of the handle bar of at least 90 °.
- This has the advantage that the upper part is still locked to the lower part even if the handle bar is not exactly in its vertically oriented position.
- the wall elements engage behind a swivel range of at least 135 °, in particular over a swivel range of approximately 160 ° to 180 °. This reduces the risk that a user erroneously releases the locking of the upper part with the lower part and thus their flow-tight connection by deflecting the handle from its vertical position. Rather, for unlocking, it is necessary to consciously pivot the handlebar over a relatively large pivoting range, preferably starting from a vertical orientation of at least 90 °.
- the locking of the upper part with the lower part can only be canceled by pivoting the handle in a first pivoting direction.
- the handlebar must be pivoted deliberately by the user in a certain pivoting direction in order to release the locking between the upper part and the lower part. This reduces the risk of inadvertent unlocking.
- a stop is arranged on one of the locking elements engaging behind one another, which stop can be applied to the other locking element in order to limit the pivoting movement of the handle.
- the handle bar In a first pivoting direction, the handle bar can thus be pivoted so far starting from its vertical orientation that the mutually assigned locking elements can be released and consequently the upper part can be removed from the lower part, while in a second pivoting direction the handle bar can only be pivoted so far until the stop arranged on a locking element on the associated whose locking element strikes. In this position, the mutually engaging arrangement of the mutually associated locking elements remains, so that the upper part is reliably locked to the lower part.
- a mechanically particularly resilient embodiment of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention can be achieved in that the wall element arranged on each leg is designed as an annular wall which is aligned concentrically with the axis of rotation and has a recess for the passage of the projection arranged on the upper part.
- the handlebar which is pivotably held on the lower part, is pivoted into a position such that the recess of the ring wall arranged on the legs is oriented vertically upward, so that the upper part can be placed on the lower part, whereby the wall element of the upper part is immersed in the recess of the ring wall.
- the handle bar can then be pivoted into its vertical position, in which case the ring wall engages over the wall element of the upper part and can thus act on the upper part with a clamping force in the direction of the lower part.
- the ring wall is arranged concentrically with a bearing bush of the respective leg, which surrounds a bearing journal held on the lower part.
- the wall element arranged on the upper part can thus dip into the annular space between the annular wall and the bearing bush.
- the ring wall is preferably connected to the bearing bush via at least one connecting wall.
- the connecting wall is preferably oriented radially with respect to the pivot axis.
- the connecting wall can form a stop to limit the pivoting movement of the handle bar.
- the wall element arranged on the upper part is preferably designed as a strip-like projection.
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a vacuum cleaner according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line 2-2 in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 in Figure 2 and
- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 in Figure 3.
- a vacuum cleaner designated as a whole by reference number 10, which is essentially cylindrical and comprises a vacuum cleaner housing 11 with a lower part 12 and an upper part 14 which can be placed thereon.
- the lower part 12 forms a dirt collecting container 16, into which dirt is collected via a suction nozzle 17 can be sucked in.
- a suction hose known per se and therefore not shown in the drawing can be connected to the suction nozzle 17 in a conventional manner and carries a suction nozzle at its free end.
- the lower part 12 is covered by the upper part 14, which receives a suction unit with a suction turbine and an electric motor in a known manner.
- Suction units of this type are known to the person skilled in the art.
- the dirt collecting container 16 can be subjected to negative pressure by means of the suction unit.
- the lower part 12 In its upper edge region, the lower part 12 has a handle bracket 20 articulated on the outside thereof, which is mounted on the lower part 12 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 22. It is essentially U-shaped and comprises a web running parallel to the pivot axis 20, which forms a handle 24, and legs 25, 26 projecting from the end of the handle 24, which are of identical design and end in diametrically opposite regions of the lower part 12 these are articulated.
- the legs 25 and 26 are each double-walled and comprise an inner wall 28 and an outer wall 29 that runs essentially parallel to this.
- the inner wall 28 faces the upper part 14 and the outer wall 29 faces away from the upper part 14.
- the inner wall 28 is connected in one piece to the outer wall 29, namely that a plurality of connecting webs 30 spaced apart from one another run between the inner wall 28 and the outer wall 29, which give the handle bar 20 a mechanically highly resilient design.
- the upper part 14 has a cover 32 with a cylindrical jacket-shaped outer wall 33 which, in an edge section 34 facing the lower part 12, each has a leg 25 or 26 associated with two outwardly pointing ribs 36, 37, which form a latching receptacle 38 between them and in one piece are connected to the outer wall 33.
- a rib-shaped locking lug 40 is formed on the inner wall 28 of the respective leg 25 or 26.
- the latching receptacle 38 and the latching lug 40 thus form latching elements which can be brought into engagement with one another by pivoting the handle bar 20 into its vertical position.
- the handle bar 20 is reliably held in its vertical position by means of the latching receptacle 38 and the latching lug 40, each of which is assigned to a leg 25 or 26 and is arranged on diametrically opposite sides of the vacuum cleaner 10.
- the outer wall 33 of the cover 32 is designed to be dimensionally elastic.
- the region of the outer wall 33 which is adjacent to the latching receptacle 38 can therefore be deformed radially inward with respect to the cylinder axis 42 of the vacuum cleaner 10, and the inner wall 28 can be radially outward, namely in the direction of the outer wall 29 are deformed to bring the locking receptacle 38 and the locking lug 40 into engagement with one another.
- Additional spring elements to ensure a latching connection are therefore not required and the ribs 36 and 37, like the latching lug 40, can be designed to be dimensionally stable.
- the legs 25 and 26 each have at their free end a bearing bush 45 which slidably abuts a bearing pin 46 fixed on the lower part 12.
- the bearing bush 45 is integrally connected to a wall element in the form of an annular wall 50, which extends radially to the pivot axis 22, and surrounds the bearing bush 45 in the circumferential direction and has a recess 52. The latter forms an access to the annular space between the bearing bush 45 and the ring wall 50.
- an arc-shaped support wall 54 is arranged between the ring wall 50 and the bearing bush 45, offset radially inwards, which is integral with the bearing bush 45 and the ring wall 50 connected is.
- the upper part 14 has a wall element in the form of a strip-shaped projection 56 at a distance from the pivot axis 22 below the latching receptacle 38, said projection being curved in a circular arc with respect to the pivot axis 22 and projecting radially outward from the upper part 14 with respect to the cylinder axis 42 ,
- the strip-shaped projection 56 of the upper part 14 is overlapped by the ring wall 50 when the handle bracket 20 is aligned vertically, which lies flat against the top of the strip-shaped projection 56.
- the upper part 14 cannot be separated from the lower part 12 when the handle 20 is aligned vertically; the ring wall 50 and the strip-shaped projection 56 form interlocking locking elements, with the aid of which the upper part 14 is locked to the lower part 12.
- the upper part 14 is to be separated from the lower part 12, for example in order to be able to empty the dirt collecting container 16, then it is necessary to pivot the handle bar 20 about the pivot axis 22 to such an extent that the recess 52 of the ring wall 50 is arranged at the level of the strip-like projection 56 is. With this orientation of the handle bar 20, the upper part 14 can be raised from the lower part 12, the strip-like projection 56 then passing through the cutout 52. Conversely, with this orientation of the handle 20, the upper part 14 can also be placed on the lower part 12, in which case the strip-like projection 56 passes the recess 52 and can be placed on the radially outer side of the support wall 54.
- the handle bar 20 can then be pivoted, the ring wall 50 then engaging behind the strip-like projection 56 and consequently the upper part 14 being locked with the lower part 12.
- the aligned alignment of the recess 52 with the strip-like projection 56 thus defines an unlocking position. This is given to the user of the vacuum cleaner 10 by the fact that an intermediate wall 58 which runs essentially tangentially to the bearing bush 45 and via which the support wall 54 is connected in one piece to the ring wall 50 bears against the strip-like projection 56. If the handle bar 20 is pivoted starting from its vertical orientation in the direction facing away from the unlocking position, the radially aligned connecting wall 48 abuts the strip-like projection 56, the upper part 14 being held in place with the lower part 12. The radial connecting wall 48 thus, like the intermediate wall 58, forms a stop limiting the pivoting movement of the handle bracket 20.
