Abstract

The housing (1) has a dust chamber (2) subjected to low pressure, and a cover (4) for closing an opening (3) of the chamber. The cover has a cover sealing rib (7) arranged in the chamber, where the cover sealing rib forms a dust chamber sealant together with a dust chamber sealing rib (8) arranged at the chamber. The sealing ribs with sealing surfaces lie on top of each other, when the cover is closed. The sealing ribs are arranged diagonal to opening surfaces (9, 10) formed by the opening of the chamber and have a circularly closed contour, whose radius is larger than 30 millimeters (mm).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Staubsaugergehäuse mit einem mit Unterdruck beaufschlagten Staubraum und einem Deckel zum Verschließen einer Öffnung des Staubraums, wobei der Deckel eine in den Staubraum gerichtete erste Dichtrippe aufweist, welche zusammen mit einer zweiten, am Staubraum angeordneten Dichtrippe dadurch eine Staubraumdichtung bildet, dass die beiden Dichtrippen bei geschlossenem Deckel mit Flächen aufeinander liegen, welche schräg zu der von der Öffnung gebildeten Öffnungsfläche gerichtet sind.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner housing with a vacuum space applied to the dust chamber and a lid for closing an opening of the dust chamber, wherein the lid has a directed into the dust chamber first sealing rib, which thereby forms a dust chamber seal together with a second, arranged on the dust chamber sealing rib that the when the lid is closed, both sealing ribs lie on one another with surfaces which are directed obliquely to the opening surface formed by the opening.

Der Staubraum eines Staubsaugers beinhaltet in der Regel einen Abscheider, mit dem wenigstens ein Anteil des Schmutzes aus der angesaugten Luft separiert wird. Die Luftzufuhr erfolgt über eine Öffnung im Staubsaugergehäuse, an die meist ein Saugschlauch anschließbar ist. Die Abscheider können beispielsweise als Staubbeutel oder als Filterkassetten ausgeführt sein. Die Reinigung oder der Austausch des Abscheiders erfolgt durch eine Öffnung des Staubraums, welche durch einen Deckel verschließbar ist. Dabei ist es wichtig, dass ein möglichst luftdichter Abschluss vorgesehen ist.The dust chamber of a vacuum cleaner usually includes a separator with which at least a portion of the dirt is separated from the sucked air. The air is supplied via an opening in the vacuum cleaner housing, to which usually a suction hose can be connected. The separator can be designed for example as a dust bag or filter cartridges. The cleaning or the replacement of the separator takes place through an opening of the dust chamber, which can be closed by a lid. It is important that airtight as possible conclusion is provided.

In herkömmlichen Staubsaugern werden um die Staubraumöffnung herum Dichtungen eingesetzt, siehe beispielsweise DE 199 62 008 A1 . Die dort gezeigte Dichtung ist auf einen umlaufenden Steg aufgesteckt. Staubraumdichtungen können auch eingelegt sein, siehe WO 2005/112726 A1 , oder als Rundschnur-Dichtung in einem dafür vorgesehenen Kanal montiert sein, siehe DE 198 04 620 A1 . Die Montage einer separaten Dichtung ist zeitintensiv und aufwändig. Da sie als biegeschlaffes Teil ausgebildet ist, kann sie nicht definiert von einem Roboter gegriffen und platziert werden; der Montagevorgang kann deshalb nicht automatisiert werden. Das Anspritzen von Dichtungen im Zweikomponentenverfahren erfordert hohe Werkzeuginvestitionen und verlängert die Fertigungszeit. Außerdem kann die Dichtwirkung des elastischen Materials mit der Zeit nachlassen. Es ist auch bekannt, dass elastische Dichtungen beschädigt werden können oder sich aus ihrem Dichtsitz lösen.In conventional vacuum cleaners, seals are used around the dust compartment opening, see for example DE 199 62 008 A1 , The seal shown there is mounted on a circumferential web. Dust chamber seals can also be inserted, see WO 2005/112726 A1 , or be mounted as a round cord seal in a designated channel, see DE 198 04 620 A1 , The installation of a separate seal is time consuming and expensive. Since it is designed as a flexible part, it can not be grasped and placed undefined by a robot; the assembly process can therefore not be automated. Injection of gaskets in the two-component process requires high tool investment and extends the production time. In addition, the sealing effect of the elastic material may decrease over time. It is also known that elastic seals can be damaged or come off their sealing seat.

Aus der DE 299 23 672 U1 ist ein Staubsauger mit einem Gehäuse der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Durch die spezielle Ausbildung von Dichtrippen, die an den Gehäusedeckel und um die Staubraumöffnung herum angeformt sind und aus dem Gehäusematerial, d. h. aus Kunststoff bestehen, kann auf weitere elastische Dichtungen verzichtet werden. Dabei entsteht bei der gezeigten Anordnung in den Ecken des Staubraums das Problem, dass aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen die Dichtrippen nur schlecht aufeinanderliegen. Außerdem kann aufgrund des großen Steigungswinkels der Dichtschrägen bei geschlossenem Deckel eine Selbsthemmung auftreten und dadurch das Öffnen des Deckels verhindert werden. Diesen Problemen wird dadurch begegnet, dass in den Eckbereichen schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch wird aber auch permanent Nebenluft angesaugt, was die Saugleistung an dem üblicherweise verwendeten Saugwerkzeug verschlechtert.From the DE 299 23 672 U1 is a vacuum cleaner with a housing of the type mentioned above. Due to the special design of sealing ribs, which are integrally formed on the housing cover and around the dust chamber opening and made of the housing material, ie made of plastic, can be dispensed with further elastic seals. In this case arises in the arrangement shown in the corners of the dust chamber, the problem that due to manufacturing tolerances, the sealing ribs are superimposed poorly. In addition, due to the large pitch angle of the sealing slopes with the lid closed self-locking occur and thereby the opening of the lid can be prevented. These problems is met by the fact that slit-shaped recesses are formed in the corner regions. As a result, however, secondary air is sucked in permanently, which deteriorates the suction power to the suction tool commonly used.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, bei einem Staubsaugergehäuse der eingangs genannten Art eine preiswerte, einfach zu fertigende Abdichtung der Staubraumöffnung zu schaffen, bei der keine Saugkraftverluste auftreten.The invention thus raises the problem of providing a low-cost, easy-to-manufacture sealing of the dust chamber opening in a vacuum cleaner housing of the type mentioned, in which no Saugkraftverluste occur.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Staubsaugergehäuse mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a vacuum cleaner housing having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and will be described in more detail below. It shows
FIG. 1
the upper housing part and the open lid of a vacuum cleaner in a perspective view,
FIG. 2
a section through the vacuum cleaner housing according to FIG. 1 with the lid closed,
FIGS. 3 and 4
Details of FIG. 2 as enlarged sections.

Das in Figur 1 dargestellte Gehäuseoberteil 1 eines Staubsaugers bildet mit einem nicht dargestellten Unterteil einen Staubraum 2, welcher über eine Öffnung 3 zugänglich ist. Die Öffnung 3 kann durch einen schwenkbar gelagerten Deckel 4 verschlossen werden. Der Deckel 4 wird während des Saugbetriebs durch eine Schließeinrichtung 5 in der Verschlussposition gehalten. Um ein Ansaugen von Luft außerhalb der im Deckel 4 befindlichen Ansaugöffnung 6 zu vermeiden, sind das Gehäuseoberteil 1 und der Deckel 4 jeweils mit einer Dichtrippe 7 bzw. 8 ausgestattet, welche eine umlaufende, geschlossene Kontur aufweisen. Diese Dichtrippen 7 und 8 besitzen Dichtflächen 9 und 10, welche bei geschlossenem Deckel 4 (siehe Figur 2) aufeinander liegen und durch die von der Schließeinrichtung 5 auf den Deckel 4 aufgebrachten Schließkräfte aneinander gepresst werden. Die Eckradien der Dichtrippen 7 und 8 sind relativ groß gewählt, d. h., sie betragen mindestens 30 mm, so dass die Ecken 11 bis 18 sehr stark abgerundet sind.This in FIG. 1 illustrated upper housing part 1 of a vacuum cleaner forms with a lower part, not shown, a dust chamber 2, which is accessible via an opening 3. The opening 3 can be closed by a pivotally mounted cover 4. The lid 4 is held in the closing position by a closing means 5 during suction operation. In order to avoid sucking in air outside the intake opening 6 located in the cover 4, the housing upper part 1 and the cover 4 are each equipped with a sealing rib 7 or 8, which have a circumferential, closed contour. These sealing ribs 7 and 8 have sealing surfaces 9 and 10, which with the lid 4 closed (see FIG. 2 ) are superimposed and pressed by the applied by the closing device 5 on the lid 4 closing forces to each other. The corner radii of the sealing ribs 7 and 8 are chosen to be relatively large, ie, they are at least 30 mm, so that the corners 11 to 18 are very much rounded.

Insbesondere in den vergrößerten Ausschnitten der Figuren 3 und 4 ist erkennbar, dass die aufeinander liegenden Flächen 9 und 10 schräg zu der durch die Staubraumöffnung gebildete Öffnungsfläche ausgerichtet sind, welche in Figur 2 durch die gestrichelte Linie 19 symbolisiert ist. Außerdem ist die Deckeldichtrippe 7 bezüglich ihrer freien Länge I (siehe Figur 4), d. h. der Eindringtiefe in Richtung des Staubraums 2, und bezüglich ihrer Wandstärke b (siehe Figur 3) derart bemessen, dass sie eine gewisse Elastizität aufweist. Hierdurch bewirken die von der Schließeinrichtung 5 des Deckels 4 übertragenen Kräfte eine Biegung der Rippe 7 nach außen von der Öffnung 3 weg. Die Staubraumdichtrippe 8 dagegen ist durch eine umlaufende Abkantung 20 und durch quer zur Rippe 8 verlaufende Stege 21 versteift. So wird vermieden, dass Kräfte, welche einerseits durch den Unterdruck erzeugt werden und andererseits von der Schließeinrichtung 5 über die Deckeldichtrippe 7 übertragen werden, die Staubraumdichtrippe 8 nach unten ins Staubrauminnere drücken.Especially in the enlarged sections of the FIGS. 3 and 4 It can be seen that the superimposed surfaces 9 and 10 are aligned obliquely to the opening surface formed by the dust space opening, which in FIG. 2 is symbolized by the dashed line 19. In addition, the lid sealing rib 7 with respect to its free length I (see FIG. 4 ), ie the penetration depth in the direction of the dust space 2, and with respect to its wall thickness b (see FIG. 3 ) such that it has a certain elasticity. This causes the of the Closing device 5 of the lid 4 transmitted forces bending the rib 7 outwardly from the opening 3 away. The dust chamber sealing rib 8, however, is stiffened by a circumferential fold 20 and by transversely to the rib 8 extending webs 21. This avoids that forces which are generated on the one hand by the negative pressure and on the other hand are transmitted from the closing device 5 via the lid sealing rib 7, push the dust space sealing rib 8 down into the dust chamber interior.

Die vorbeschriebenen Maßnahmen und eine Ausstattung der Staubraumrippe 8 mit einem vergrößerten Auflagebereich 22, dessen Querschnitt den Querschnitt der aufliegenden Deckeldichtrippe 7 nach beiden Seiten überragt, gewährleisten, dass die Deckeldichtrippe 7 während des Schließvorgangs auf diesem Auflagebereich 22 gleitet und auch dann dichtend anliegt, wenn Toleranzschwankungen bezüglich der Gehäuseabmessungen oder der Schließkräfte vorhanden sind. Die Elastizität der Deckeldichtrippe 7 sorgt dabei für eine ausreichende Dichtigkeit aufgrund hoher Anlagekräfte, die Festigkeit der Staubraumrippe 8 verhindert ein Nachlassen der Dichtkräfte.The above-described measures and equipment of the dust chamber rib 8 with an enlarged bearing area 22, the cross section of which projects beyond the cross section of the overlying lid sealing rib 7 on both sides, ensure that the lid sealing rib 7 slides on this support area 22 during the closing operation and also sealingly abuts when tolerance fluctuations with respect to the housing dimensions or the closing forces are present. The elasticity of the lid sealing rib 7 ensures sufficient tightness due to high contact forces, the strength of the dust chamber rib 8 prevents a decrease in the sealing forces.
