Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of household appliances vacuum cleaners and more particularly sleigh vacuums including rigid tubes equipping such vacuum cleaners.
- these vacuum cleaners generally comprise a frame mounted on wheels for its movement on the ground.
- This frame contains a motor-fan for creating a suction flow, and a device for separating waste, either by a filter membrane, or by a device called “bagless”, inertia separation, or any device equivalent.
- the frame of such vacuum cleaners is connected to a suction nozzle, such as a nozzle, by different conduits, generally comprising a rigid conduit in connection with the nozzle, and a flexible conduit connecting the rigid conduit to the frame, and facilitating the handling of the nozzle.
- the storage of such vacuum cleaner is most often to arrange the rigid conduit vertically along one of the walls of the frame, by a suitable slide.
- the length of the rigid ducts causes a congestion which remains important.
- connection is made by interlocking, in particular to ensure an electrical connection between the frame and the nozzle.
- Such nesting complicates and weakens the hinge connection between the tubes since it requires a rotational movement coupled to a translational movement.
- the present invention aims to provide a device to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks while providing an improvement in the storage compactness of the vacuum cleaner.
- the present invention is achieved with the aid of a vacuum cleaner comprising a body, inside which is housed a motor-fan and a waste separation device, the body being connected to a suction nozzle through a suction pipe comprising at least one rigid pipe at the end of which is disposed the suction nozzle, said rigid pipe having a hinge substantially mid-length of the pipe, allowing a rotation of about 180 ° of a portion of the duct relative to the other portion, characterized in that the rotation is performed in a direction outside the usual plane of advance of the rigid conduit, a sealing means being disposed between the two duct portions, and in that that the joint is associated with a locking device of the two duct portions by abutment of said portions.
- this displacement defines in space a normally vertical plane.
- a negative feedback exerted upwards by the ground on the suction nozzle created, in the rigid conduit a couple of force tending to bend, in the plane thus defined, the rigid conduit.
- the invention proposes precisely that this opening be made in a direction other than this advancement plane, for example in a transverse direction.
- the rotation of the two duct portions is effected to the right or to the left. Such an arrangement reduces the risk of embrittlement of the joint during use of the device.
- the end-to-end connection of the two portions of the rigid conduit avoids a significant imbrication of the two portions one in the other.
- the rigid conduit does not exhibit a section break, including at the joint, allowing a fluid flow of air, without generating noise at the joint.
- the sealing means between the two duct portions consist of an O-ring surrounding the air duct.
- At least one of the portions of the duct is an assembly of telescopic tubes, to increase the overall storage compactness of the vacuum cleaner, the duct can then be already reduced in length by the telescopic assembly, then literally folded in half by the hinge.
- the two portions of the duct are assemblies of telescopic tubes.
- the joint In order to secure the assembly of the two duct portions by abutment, the joint consists of two sleeves surrounding each end of the duct portions intended to be connected to one another, said sleeves being connected to one another. another by a hinge.
- the abutment assembly requires a good seal, provided by a toric-type seal, and reinforced by a locking device consisting of a hook mounted on a spring on one of the sleeves and cooperating with a slot on the other sleeve.
- connection between the two sleeves can be supported by a tenon-mortise type assembly.
- the assembly of telescopic tubes comprises two tubes, the inner tube carrying a toothed ruler, and a locking member disposed on the outer tube and consisting of a finger passing through said tube and capable of interacting with the notches of the tube. ruler, said notches being made entirely on the outer surface of the ruler.
- This arrangement avoids the presence of indentations on the inside wall of the inner tube, thus reducing the turbulence phenomena in the passage of air.
- the notched strip is disposed in a recess formed on the inner tube, the end of this cavity located upstream of the suction circuit being shaped in a beveled arc.
- the footprint achieving a recess in the inner section of the tube it should be made softer such a recess to make it as quiet as possible.
- the body of the vacuum cleaner advantageously comprises means for attaching the rigid conduit to a portion remote from the hinge, the attachment of the tube being substantially vertical with the hinge in the up position and the suction nozzle in the low position.
- Such a configuration makes it possible to arrange the rigid duct vertically on the body of the vacuum cleaner, which, by reducing the length of the telescopic tubes and folding the rigid duct at the level of the joint, allows a very compact storage of the vacuum cleaner. , which notably sees its height greatly decrease.
- the attachment means are arranged on the lower part of the body of the vacuum, eccentric to a side wall of the body of the vacuum cleaner, allowing in particular to store the body of the vacuum vertically on its rear part.
- the offset of the means hooking to one of the side walls of the body of the vacuum cleaner optimizes the storage of other conduit parts, namely in particular the flexible conduit and the rigid butt connecting the flexible conduit to the rigid conduit.
- the figure 1 is a perspective view of the frame of the vacuum cleaner as well as a portion of the various suction pipes according to the present invention, and the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner.
- the figure 2 is a detailed top view in perspective of the articulation between the two parts of duct before assembly.
- the Figures 3 and 4 are detailed views from above in perspective of the articulation between the two parts of duct after assembly.
- the Figures 5, 6 and 7 are views from above, slightly in perspective, of the rigid suction duct according to the invention, respectively in a folded position, unfolded, and unfolded with elongation of a portion of the duct.
- the figure 8 is an axial section of a portion of the duct, at the level of the joint.
- the figure 9 is a perspective view of some parts of the vacuum cleaner.
- the Figures 10 and 11 show, according to two different views in perspective, the vacuum cleaner in a storage position.
- the vacuum cleaner 1 comprises a body 2 inside which is housed a motor-fan for generating an air intake flow from an air inlet 4.
- a filter device is disposed between the 4 air inlet and the motor-fan. This device may be a filter bag or a bagless device, of inertial or cyclonic type.
- the body 2 of the vacuum cleaner also comprises organs 6 and 8 motor control and rewinding of the power cord, as is common in this type of vacuum cleaner.
- a potentiometer 10 of adjustment of the suction power is also present on the proposed embodiment.
- a handle 12 for transporting the body of the apparatus.
- the latter advantageously rests on rollers 14, arranged under the body of the apparatus, as they appear more visibly on the Figures 9 to 11 .
- the air inlet 4 is connected to a rigid conduit 20 via a flexible pipe 40, not shown on the figure 1 , but schematically shown to Figures 10 and 11 .
- the connection between the flexible pipe 40 and the rigid pipe 20 is formed by a handle 22, commonly known as a butt, for guiding the rigid conduit 20 at the end of which is connected a vacuum nozzle 24 as further described in the application of patent number deposit FR 0610265 .
- the butt 22 includes a device 23 for controlled air intake, also known as air leakage, as known in the art and as advantageously described in the patent application bearing the publication number. FR 2876569 , these two patent applications including dealing with noise reduction in vacuum cleaners.
- the conduit 20 comprises, substantially at mid-height, a hinge 26 between two portions 200 and 300 of the conduit 20, the portion 200 being connected to the nozzle, while the portion 300 is connected to the butt 22 by the intermediate of a connection element 314.
- the articulation 26 is presented, in more detail, to Figures 2 to 4 . This articulation is achieved by the combination of two sleeves each arranged at the end of the duct portions 200, 300.
- a sleeve 202 surrounds the end of the conduit portion 200.
- This sleeve comprises an unlocking button 206 movable in a radial direction of the conduit portion 200, this button being connected to a hook 208 mounted against the force of a spring blade 210 which tends to oppose the displacement of the conduit portion 200 of the unlocking button 206 towards the axis.
- This sleeve also comprises two holes 212 to near the hook 208, promoting assembly with the second sleeve, as will be explained later.
- this sleeve comprises a hinge in the form of a vertical protrusion 204 of the sleeve 202 having, towards its free end, a hole of axis opening 205. This hinge is advantageously located opposite the hook 208.
- a sleeve 302 is disposed on the conduit portion 300 and is in the form of a stirrup having a recessed portion, outside the corresponding tube portion and for accommodating the vertical protrusion 204.
- An axis 305 in the form of a rod, preferably metal, through this recess along the axis xx 'which thus represents the axis of rotation of the two duct portions.
- This axis 305 is parallel to the vertical plane P of advance of the conduit 20 and the nozzle 24, so that the opening of the hinge by rotation is in a direction perpendicular to this plane of advancement, in the direction r mentioned figures 1 and 7 .
- the vertical protrusion 204 is disposed in the recess of the sleeve 302 and the rod 305 is inserted into the axis hole 205 of the protrusion 204.
- the rod is then locked in the sleeve 302.
- the tightness of the connection between the two tube portions is provided by an O-ring 216 disposed in a groove at the end of the tube portion 200.
- a complementary groove 316 at the end of the tube portion 300 reinforces the maintaining the seal and sealing the connection.
- the caliper shape of the sleeve 302 contributes to the strength of the joint when using the vacuum cleaner, the guide by the stirrup of the protrusion 204 increasing resistance to flexion of the joint.
- the sleeve 302 comprises tenons 312 disposed opposite the articulation and capable of being positioned in the two holes 212 formed in the sleeve 202.
- the raised position of the axis hole 205 relative to the end of the tube portion 200 allows a connection of the two tube portions 200, 300 by abutment of said portions, after rotation.
- the sleeve 302 also comprises a slot 308 intended to cooperate with the hook 208 to effect locking of the two tube portions.
- the lower duct portion 200, connected to the nozzle 24, is an assembly of two telescopic tubes, an outer tube 250 inside which slides a tube 260, as it is clearly visible. on the figures 1 and 7 especially.
- the concept of telescopic tubes is well known in the field of vacuum cleaners.
- the principle is based on a notching of the inner tube 260, cooperating with a locking member of a control 214 carried by the outer tube in order to adjust the length presented by the two tubes.
- a particular effort was made concerning the silent appearance of the telescopic assembly of the tubes as presented.
- the inner tube 260 has a footprint 261 in the form of a flat a significant length, this flat accommodating a toothed ruler 262.
- Notches 266 relative locking of the two tubes are made only on the surface of the strip 262, without marking or crossing the reception footprint 261 of the strip. In this way, the inner surface of the inner tube 260 remains smooth, except for the recess associated with the impression.
- the ends 264 of said cavity are advantageously beveled in the axial direction of the tube 260, as indicated. figures 3 and 8 , thus avoiding any frontal collision with the circulating air.
- this end 264 of the cavity which corresponds to the frontal zone of the cavity, is configured in an arc of a circle, thus allowing air to pass on both sides of the cavity while minimizing the resulting turbulence .
- This silent appearance of the telescopic assembly is in line with the noise reduction at the nozzle and at the level of the air leak at the butt.
- the storage of the vacuum cleaner has been optimized to take full advantage of the foldable configuration of the rigid conduit 20 as previously mentioned.
- the duct portion 200, and more specifically the outer tube 250 carries, near the nozzle 24, a coupling member 230 of the duct portion 200 on the body 2 of the vacuum cleaner.
- This coupling member is in the form of two elements substantially parallel to each other and oriented along the longitudinal axis of the tube, these two elements being L-shaped.
- the body 2 has, on its lower part, that is to say on the part carrying the rollers 14, a concavity 16 defined by a rigid wall portion, forming a groove 18.
- One of the means consists in reducing the length of the conduit 20 by returning the tube 260 in the tube 250. For this the user actuates the control 214 to release the associated member of one of the notches 266 of the strip 262, thus allowing the relative sliding of the tubes 250, 260.
- Another means is, according to the invention, to rotate about 180 ° of the conduit portion 300 relative to the conduit portion 200. To do this, the user presses the unlock button 206 of the hinge 26. This frees the hook 208 from the slot 308, and allows rotation between the conduit portions 200 and 300.
- This rotation is performed by the user and is performed laterally by the lateral arrangement of the hinge and locking relative to the resultant forces G on the conduit 20.
- This rotation of the tube portions literally opens the conduit at the hinge 26.
- the two duct portions 200, 300 are then arranged side by side.
- Another means consists in coupling the tube 250 to the body 2 of the apparatus by tilting the body 2 of the vacuum cleaner on its rear face in order to vertically present its lower face, and arranging the member 230 in the groove 18.
- the Figures 10 and 11 present the resultant of these three actions. It is then surprising to note the extreme compactness of the vacuum cleaner since the rigid conduit 20 is then in the height of the body of the vacuum cleaner, giving the assembly a very small height and size.
- the vacuum cleaner in this position, can be easily transported by its handle 12, without hindrance of the butt in the arms of the user, which would have been the case in the absence of the rotation hinge.
- the vacuum cleaner from its storage position, as it is visible on the figure 11 , is also made very quickly operational since it suffices to grasp the butt 22, to make it rotate a half-turn to come to lock the hook 208 in the slot 308 and then lift the assembly thus formed in order to clear the coupling member 230 of the groove 18.
- the groove 18 is advantageously located near one of the side walls of the body of the vacuum cleaner so that the rotation of the tube portion 200 can be achieved about 180 °, and in particular to prevent the handle of the butt does not hinder the rotation of about 180 ° of the tube portion 200 abutting against the body 2 of the vacuum cleaner.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and also includes all the technical equivalents, particularly with regard to the locking / unlocking means of the two duct portions.
- the seal between the two duct portions may take other configurations than the O-ring presented.
- an advantageously economical form consists of sealing by simple cooperation between the two ducts, for example by a slight overlap of the two ends at the end of rotation, either by baffles, or by thinned lips, or by cones may be formed in one and / or the other end of the conduit portions.
- assembly of telescopic tubes has been presented only for one of the tube portions, the present invention also covers embodiments where the two tube portions are telescopic tube assemblies.
