Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System zur Bestromung eines elektrischen Geräts, insbesondere eines Staubsaugers, mit einer Kabeltrommel, umfassend ein Anschlusskabel, eine Spule und einen Spulenhalter, und mit elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen zum Ein- und Ausschalten und/oder zur Leistungseinstellung des Geräts, welche auf einem gegebenenfalls eine Leiterkarte umfassenden Träger angeordnet sind. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem einen Staubsauger mit einem solchen System sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Staubsaugers.The invention relates to a system for energizing an electrical device, in particular a vacuum cleaner, with a cable drum comprising a connection cable, a coil and a coil holder, and with electrical and / or electronic components for switching on and off and / or setting the power of the device, which are arranged on a possibly a circuit board comprehensive carrier. The invention also relates to a vacuum cleaner with such a system and a method for producing such a vacuum cleaner.

Ein System gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist zB aus DE-A-102004040 986 bekannt. Ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Staubsaugers ist ebenfalls implizit in diesem Dokument gezeigt.A system according to the preamble of claim 1 is eg off DE-A-102004040 986 known. A method for manufacturing a vacuum cleaner is also implicitly shown in this document.

Bei elektrischen Geräten, insbesondere bei Staubsaugern, welche mit einer Kabeltrommel ausgestattet sind, wird diese häufig als vorkonfektionierte Baugruppe in das Werk geliefert, in dem das Gerät selbst hergestellt und/oder montiert wird. Dort erfolgt dann eine elektrische Kontaktierung des Anschlusskabels mit weiteren elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen, die sich in der Regel auf einer gemeinsamen Leiterkarte befinden. Diese wird wiederum über einen Netzstecker mit einem elektrischen Verbraucher im Gerät verbunden, beispielsweise mit einem Motor. Die Anordnung der Leiterkarte bzw. eines wie auch immer gearteten Trägers im Gerät entscheidet dabei über eine mehr oder weniger aufwändige Verlegung von Anschlusslitzen. In herkömmlichen Geräten sind diese Litzen zu Kabelbäumen zusammengefasst, die während der Gerätefertigung verlegt und kontaktiert werden. Ein derart hergestellter Staubsauger ist beispielsweise aus der DE 199 47 980 A1 bekannt.In electrical equipment, especially in vacuum cleaners, which are equipped with a cable drum, this is often supplied as a pre-assembled assembly in the factory in which the device itself is manufactured and / or mounted. There then takes place electrical contacting of the connection cable with other electrical and / or electronic components, which are usually located on a common circuit board. This is in turn connected via a power plug with an electrical load in the device, such as a motor. The arrangement of the printed circuit board or of any type of carrier in the device decides over a more or less complex laying of connecting wires. In conventional devices, these strands are combined into harnesses that are routed and contacted during device fabrication. Such a manufactured vacuum cleaner is for example from the DE 199 47 980 A1 known.

Da Kabeltrommel und elektrische und/oder elektronische Bauteile länderspezifisch variieren, besteht auch der Wunsch, diese zu einer Baugruppe zu vereinen.Since cable drum and electrical and / or electronic components vary country-specific, there is also the desire to combine them into an assembly.

Aus der DE 198 01 468 A1 ist ein Staubsauger bekannt, bei dem die kabelendseitigen Ausgangskontakte einer Kabeltrommel als Steckkontakte ausgebildet sind und mit Gegensteckkontakten an einer Leiterkarte direkt verbunden sind. Dies führt dazu, dass die Leiterkarte aufrecht neben der Kabeltrommel angeordnet sein muss, was wiederum den Einbau von Drucktasten und Drehknöpfen für die auf der Leiterkarte vorhandenen Schalter und Potentiometer einschränkt bzw. erschwert.From the DE 198 01 468 A1 a vacuum cleaner is known in which the cable end side output contacts of a cable drum are designed as plug contacts and are directly connected to mating plug contacts on a printed circuit board. This leads to the fact that the circuit board must be arranged upright next to the cable drum, which in turn restricts or makes more difficult the installation of pushbuttons and rotary knobs for the switches and potentiometers present on the circuit board.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein System der eingangs genannten Art zu offenbaren, bei dem Kabeltrommel und Bauteilträger als Baugruppe zusammengefügt werden können und trotzdem die Unterbringung von Bedienelementen nicht eingeschränkt ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein System mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention thus presents the problem to disclose a system of the type mentioned, can be joined together as a module in the cable drum and component carrier and still the accommodation of controls is not limited. According to the invention, this problem is solved by a system having the features of patent claim 1.

Der Erfindung stellt sich außerdem das Problem, einen Staubsauger mit einem System der eingangs genannten Art und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines solchen Staubsaugers zu offenbaren, bei dem die Montage vereinfacht ist. Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Staubsauger mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 6 bzw. durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 12 gelöst.The invention also has the problem of disclosing a vacuum cleaner with a system of the type mentioned above and a method for producing such a vacuum cleaner in which the assembly is simplified. This problem is solved by a vacuum cleaner with the features of claim 6 and by a method having the features of claim 12.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den jeweils nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments and further developments emerge from the respective following subclaims.

Die mit dem erfindungsgemäß aufgebauten System erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Träger schwenkbar an dem Spulenhalter gelagert ist. Hierdurch lässt sich der Träger in verschiedene Stellungen bringen, die den Transport und die Montage erleichtern. Dabei hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn die Lagerung eine Schwenkbewegung des Trägers um etwa 90° aus einer Montageposition, in der der Träger senkrecht zur Spulenachse und von dem Spulenhalter weg gerichtet ist, in eine Betriebsposition, in der der Träger wenigstens annähernd parallel zur Spulenachse gerichtet ist, ermöglicht und wenn die
Lagerung eine weitere Schwenkbewegung des Trägers in eine Transportposition, in der der Träger an dem Spulenhalter anliegt, ermöglicht. Es ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn der Träger in der Transportposition an dem Spulenhalter verrastbar ist. Hierdurch kann das System zu einer platzsparenden Transporteinheit zusammengefaltet werden, die Verrastung gewährleistet den Verbleib in dieser Position und verhindert dadurch eine Beschädigung der elektrischen und elektronischen Bauteile.The achievable with the inventively constructed system advantages result from the fact that the carrier is pivotally mounted on the bobbin holder. This allows the carrier to bring in different positions, which facilitate the transport and installation. It has proved to be useful if the storage pivotal movement of the carrier by about 90 ° from a mounting position in which the carrier is directed perpendicular to the coil axis and the coil holder away, in an operating position in which the carrier at least approximately parallel to Spool axis is directed, allows and if the
Storage a further pivotal movement of the carrier in a transport position, in which the carrier rests on the bobbin holder allows. It is particularly advantageous if the carrier can be locked in the transport position on the bobbin holder. As a result, the system can be folded into a space-saving transport unit, the locking ensures the whereabouts in this position, thereby preventing damage to the electrical and electronic components.

Wenn ein Verbindungskabel von der Kabeltrommel zu der Leiterkarte durch eine Lötverbindung mit der Leiterkarte kontaktiert ist, kann hierdurch eine Steckverbindung eingespart werden.If a connection cable from the cable drum to the circuit board is contacted by a solder connection to the circuit board, this can be saved a plug connection.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers ist gekennzeichnet durch ein Gehäuse, welches mindestens zwei Gehäuseteile umfasst, welche nach ihrem Zusammenbau die Kabeltrommel umgeben, wobei ein Gehäuseteil eine Öffnung zur Durchführung des Trägers in der Montageposition besitzt. Nach der Durchführung des Trägers durch die Öffnung kann dieser dann in die Betriebsposition geschwenkt und auf das Gehäuseteil gelegt werden, wodurch sich eine stabile Unterlage für den Träger ergibt. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Gehäuseteil und/oder der Träger Mittel zur Halterung des Trägers in der Betriebsposition besitzen.An advantageous embodiment of a vacuum cleaner according to the invention is characterized by a housing which comprises at least two housing parts, which surround the cable drum after their assembly, wherein a housing part has an opening for the passage of the carrier in the mounting position. After the carrier has been passed through the opening, it can then be pivoted into the operating position and placed on the housing part, resulting in a stable support for the carrier. It is expedient if the housing part and / or the carrier have means for holding the carrier in the operating position.

Es ist außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn an der Kabeltrommel eine Aufnahme zur vorübergehenden Halterung eines Steckers angeordnet ist. Hierdurch kann der Stecker während des Transports und der Montage definiert gehalten werden, was einerseits eine Beschädigung verhindert und andererseits eine automatische Kontaktierung durch einen Roboter ermöglicht.It is also advantageous if a receptacle for temporarily holding a plug is arranged on the cable drum. In this way, the plug can be kept defined during transport and assembly, which on the one hand prevents damage and on the other hand enables automatic contacting by a robot.

Wenn der Stecker zur elektrischen Kontaktierung eines motorbetriebenen Gebläses dient und dass die Aufnahme in einen Ausschnitt einer Wand eines Motorgebläseraums einsetzbar ist, so kann durch die Aufnahme der Durchführungsbereich des Verbindungskabels zum Stecker und damit zum Gebläse durch die Wand des Motorgebläseraums abgedichtet werden. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Verbindungskabel durch die Aufnahme geführt ist.If the plug is used to make electrical contact with a motor-driven fan and that the receptacle can be inserted into a section of a wall of a motor fan room, then the lead-through area of the connecting cable to the plug and thus to the fan can be sealed by the wall of the motor fan room. It is expedient if the connecting cable is guided through the receptacle.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Staubsaugers mit einer Kabeltrommel, umfassend ein Anschlusskabel, eine Spule und einen Spulenhalter, mit elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen zum Ein- und Ausschalten und/oder zur Leistungseinstellung des Geräts, welche auf einem Träger angeordnet sind, wobei der Träger schwenkbar an dem Spulenhalter gelagert ist, mit einem Gehäuse, welches mindestens zwei Gehäuseteile umfasst, welche nach ihrem Zusammenbau die Kabeltrommel umgeben und einen Motorgebläseraum zur Aufnahme eines motorbetriebenen Gebläses bilden, umfasst wenigstens die folgenden Verfahrensschritte:

  • Schwenken des Trägers aus einer Transportposition, in der der Träger an dem Spulenhalter anliegt, in eine Montageposition, in der der Träger senkrecht zur Spulenachse und von dem Spulenhalter weg gerichtet ist,
  • Einsetzen der Kabeltrommel in ein erstes Gehäuseteil,
  • Aufsetzen eines zweiten Gehäuseteils auf das erste Gehäuseteil unter Durchführung des Trägers durch eine vorgesehene Öffnung im zweiten Gehäuseteil,
  • Schwenken des Trägers in eine Betriebsposition, in der der Träger wenigstens annähernd parallel zur Spulenachse gerichtet ist.
The inventive method for producing a vacuum cleaner with a cable drum, comprising a connecting cable, a coil and a coil holder, with electrical and / or electronic components for switching on and off and / or for power adjustment of the device, which are arranged on a support, wherein the Carrier is pivotally mounted on the bobbin holder, with a housing which comprises at least two housing parts which surround the cable drum after their assembly and form a motor fan room for receiving a motor-driven blower comprises at least the following method steps:
  • Pivoting the carrier from a transport position, in which the carrier bears against the bobbin holder, into a mounting position, in which the carrier is directed perpendicular to the bobbin axis and away from the bobbin holder,
  • Inserting the cable drum in a first housing part,
  • Placing a second housing part on the first housing part while passing the carrier through an opening provided in the second housing part,
  • Pivoting the carrier in an operating position in which the carrier is directed at least approximately parallel to the coil axis.

Dabei kann nach dem Einsetzen der Kabeltrommel und vor dem Aufsetzen des zweiten Gehäuseteils ein Einsetzen des Gebläses in den Motorgebläseraum erfolgen. Hierzu werden folgende Verfahrensschritte durchgeführt:

  • Kontaktieren einer am Gebläse angeordneten Steckbuchse mit dem an der Aufnahme befindlichen Stecker
  • Lösen des Gebläses samt Stecker von der Aufnahme,
  • Einsetzen des Gebläses in den Motorgebläseraum in einer um die Gebläse-Längsachse gedrehten Position, in der sich der Stecker nicht mehr im Bereich der Aufnahme befindet.
In this case, after insertion of the cable drum and before placing the second housing part, the blower can be inserted into the engine fan room. For this purpose, the following process steps are carried out:
  • Contacting a socket on the fan with the connector on the socket
  • Release the blower with plug from the holder,
  • Inserting the blower into the engine fan room in a position rotated around the blower longitudinal axis, in which the plug is no longer in the area of the receptacle.

Durch das "Zwischenparken" des Steckers ist dieser definiert postioniert, so dass die Gebläsesteckbuchse durch einen Roboter an den Stecker geführt werden kann. Hierdurch wird eine automatisierte Fertigung ermöglicht. Dabei muss gewährleistet sein, dass die Reibkraft, die zwischen Stecker und Steckbuchse auftritt, größer als die Reibkraft zwischen Stecker und Aufnahme ist.By the "intermediate parking" of the plug this is postioned in a defined manner, so that the fan plug socket can be guided by a robot to the plug. This enables automated production. It must be ensured that the friction force that occurs between the plug and socket is greater than the frictional force between the plug and receptacle.

Das in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte System 1 umfasst eine Kabeltrommel 2 für einen später beschriebenen und in den Figuren 3 bis 7 wenigstens teilweise dargestellten Staubsauger 3 und einen Träger 4, an dem eine Leiterkarte 5 mit der Gerätesteuerung (nicht dargestellt) des Staubsaugers 3 und weitere elektrische und elektronische Bauelemente (bspw. Netz-Ein/AusSchalter) befestigt sind. Die Kabeltrommel 2 besitzt einen Spulenhalter 6, an dem eine Spule 7 drehbar gelagert ist. Auf die Spule 7 ist ein Anschlusskabel 8 (nur in Figur 1 gezeigt) gewickelt, dessen Netzstecker 9 bei vollständig aufgewickeltem Kabel 8 in einem Kabelschacht 10 liegt. Weitere an dem Spulenhalter angeordnete Bestandteile eines Aufwickelsystems sind beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2005 018 008 A1 bekannt und hier nicht näher beschrieben, weil sie für das erfindungsgemäße Funktionieren des Systems nicht notwendig sind.That in the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated system 1 comprises a cable drum 2 for a later described and in the FIGS. 3 to 7 At least partially illustrated vacuum cleaner 3 and a support 4, on which a printed circuit board 5 with the device control (not shown) of the vacuum cleaner 3 and other electrical and electronic components (eg., Power On / Off switch) are attached. The cable drum 2 has a coil holder 6, on which a coil 7 is rotatably mounted. On the coil 7 is a connection cable 8 (only in FIG. 1 shown), the power plug 9 is located at fully wound cable 8 in a cable tray 10. Further arranged on the coil holder components of a take-up system are for example from the DE 10 2005 018 008 A1 known and not described here, because they are not necessary for the functioning of the system according to the invention.

An dem aus Kunststoff gefertigten Spulenhalter 6 ist eine Traverse 11 angespritzt, welche an ihrem Ende zwei Tragarme 12 aufweist. Die beiden Tragarme 12 besitzen angeformte Lagerbolzen 13 (siehe Figur 4), die in nicht sichtbare Bohrungen an einer Umrandung 14 des ansonsten flächigen Trägers 4 eingreifen und so die schwenkbare Lagerung des Trägers 4 bewirken. In Figur 1 ist der Träger 4 in eine Transportposition geschwenkt, in der er an dem Spulenhalter 6 anliegt. Hierdurch kann das gesamte System 1 platzsparend transportiert werden, außerdem sind die Bauelemente, die sich bis auf den Netz-Ein/Aus-Schalter 15 alle auf der Unterseite des Trägers befinden, vor einer Beschädigung geschützt. Erste Rasthaken 16 sorgen für einen Verbleib des Trägers 4 in dieser Position. Figur 2 zeigt den Träger 4 in der Montageposition, in der er nach oben von der Kabeltrommel 2 weg zeigt und etwa senkrecht zur Spulenachse (Pfeil 17, siehe Figur 3) gerichtet ist. Der Träger 4 wird durch Rastnasen 18 in dieser Position gehalten, damit er während der Montage nicht schwerkraftbedingt selbsttätig in die Transportposition fällt. In Figur 2 ist außerdem erkennbar, dass von dem Spulenhalter 6 zwei Verbindungskabel 19 zur Leiterkarte 5 geführt sind. Dort sind sie über Lötverbindungen 20 mit den elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen auf der Karte 5 kontaktiert. Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Enden des Anschlusskabels 8 und den Verbindungskabeln 19 ist in bekannter Weise über in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellte Schleifringe hergestellt. Von der Leiterkarte 5 sind weitere Verbindungskabel 21 an einen Stecker 22 geführt, dessen Funktion später erklärt ist. Dabei durchdringen die Kabel 21 den plattenförmigen Teil 23 einer Aufnahme 24, die an den Spulenhalter angeformt ist. Der Stecker 22 wird während des Transports und während der ersten Schritte der Staubsaugermontage in einer Tasche 25 der Aufnahme 24 gehalten.On the made of plastic coil holder 6, a cross member 11 is molded, which has two support arms 12 at its end. The two support arms 12 have integrally formed bearing pin 13 (see FIG. 4 ), which engage in non-visible holes on a border 14 of the otherwise flat carrier 4 and thus cause the pivotal mounting of the carrier 4. In FIG. 1 the carrier 4 is pivoted into a transport position in which it bears against the coil holder 6. In this way, the entire system 1 can be transported to save space, also the components that are all except for the power on / off switch 15 on the underside of the carrier, protected from damage. First latching hooks 16 ensure that the carrier 4 remains in this position. FIG. 2 shows the carrier 4 in the mounting position in which it points away from the cable drum 2 upwards and approximately perpendicular to the coil axis (arrow 17, see FIG. 3 ). The carrier 4 is held by latching lugs 18 in this position so that it does not fall automatically during assembly into the transport position due to gravity. In FIG. 2 It can also be seen that two connecting cables 19 are led to the printed circuit board 5 from the coil holder 6. There they are contacted via solder joints 20 with the electrical and / or electronic components on the card 5. The electrical connection between the ends of the connecting cable 8 and the connecting cables 19 is made in a known manner via slip rings, not shown in the drawings. From the circuit board 5 further connection cable 21 are guided to a plug 22, whose function is explained later. In this case, the cables 21 penetrate the plate-shaped part 23 of a receptacle 24, which is formed on the coil holder. The plug 22 is held in a pocket 25 of the receptacle 24 during transport and during the first steps of vacuum cleaning assembly.

Zum Einbau des Systems in das in Figur 3 gezeigte Gehäuseunterteil 26 eines Staubsaugers 3 wird die Kabeltrommel 2 in den dafür vorgesehenen Bereich 27 eingesetzt und dort mittels zweiter Rasthaken 28 gehalten. Beim Einsetzen wird der plattenförmige Teil 23 der Aufnahme 24 in einen u-förmigen Ausschnitt 29 in einer Wand 30 eines Motorgebläseraums 31 eingeschoben und füllt diese vollständig aus. Hierdurch wird eine luftdicht abgeschlossene Durchführung vom Äußeren des Motorgebläseraums 31 ins Innere ermöglicht. Zur weiteren Montage wird nun ein Gebläse 32 mit einer Steckbuchse 33 auf den in der Tasche 25 geparkten Stecker 22 gesetzt, siehe Figur 4. Dabei erfolgt die elektrische Kontaktierung des Gebläses 32. Anschließend wird das Gebläse 32 wieder angehoben und dabei wird der Stecker 22 aus der Tasche 25 gezogen. Hierzu muss die Reibung zwischen Stecker 22 und Steckbuchse 33 größer sein als die Reibung zwischen Stecker 22 und Tasche 25, um ein Lösen der elektrischen Kontaktierung zu verhindern. Das Gebläse 32 wird dann um ca. 90° um seine Längsachse (Pfeil 34) gedreht und in den Motorgebläseraum 31 eingesetzt. Die Drehung stellt sicher, dass Stecker 22 und Aufnahme 24 sich nicht gegenseitig beim Einsetzen des Gebläses 32 behindern.To install the system in the in FIG. 3 shown lower housing part 26 of a vacuum cleaner 3, the cable drum 2 is inserted into the designated area 27 and held there by means of second latching hooks 28. When inserting the plate-shaped part 23 of the receptacle 24 is inserted into a U-shaped cutout 29 in a wall 30 of a motor fan room 31 and fills it completely. As a result, a hermetically sealed passage from the exterior of the engine fan chamber 31 is made possible inside. For further assembly, a blower 32 is now set with a socket 33 on the parked in the pocket 25 plug 22, see FIG. 4 , In this case, the electrical contacting of the blower 32. Subsequently, the blower 32 is raised again while the plug 22 is pulled out of the pocket 25. For this purpose, the friction between the plug 22 and socket 33 must be greater than the friction between the plug 22 and pocket 25 to prevent release of the electrical contact. The fan 32 is then rotated about 90 ° about its longitudinal axis (arrow 34) and inserted into the engine fan chamber 31. The rotation ensures that plug 22 and receptacle 24 do not interfere with each other when inserting blower 32.

Nachdem nun Gebläse 32 und Kabeltrommel 2 in das Gehäuseunterteil 26 eingesetzt sind (siehe Figur 5), werden der Motorgebläseraum 31 und der Raum 27 zur Aufnahme der Kabeltrommel 2 durch Aufsetzen eines in Figur 6 gezeigten Gehäuseoberteils 35 geschlossen. Dabei wird der in die Montageposition aufgestellte Träger 4 durch eine Öffnung 36 im Gehäuseoberteil 35 geführt. Nach dem Verbinden von Gehäuseoberteil 35 und Gehäuseunterteil 26 wird der Träger 4 in die Betriebsposition geschwenkt, in der er annähernd parallel zur Spulenachse 17 ausgerichtet ist, siehe Figur 7. Er liegt dann auf einer Stützfläche 37 auf und wird von einem dritten Rasthaken 38 gehalten, der unter einen vierten Rasthaken 39 (siehe auch Figur 2) am Träger 4 greift. Dieser Rasthaken 39 ist in der Nähe des Netz-Ein/Aus-Schalters 15 angeordnet und stabilisiert diesen gegen den Druck, der vom Benutzer beim Ein- oder Ausschalten des Gebläses 32 aufgebracht wird. Anschließend wird eine Abdeckkappe 40 mit Bedienelementen 41 und 42 auf den hinteren Bereich des Gehäuseoberteils 35 gesetzt.After now blower 32 and cable drum 2 are inserted into the lower housing part 26 (see FIG. 5 ), the engine fan chamber 31 and the space 27 for receiving the cable drum 2 by placing a in FIG. 6 shown housing upper part 35 closed. In this case, the set up in the mounting position carrier 4 is guided through an opening 36 in the upper housing part 35. After connecting the upper housing part 35 and lower housing part 26 of the carrier 4 is pivoted to the operating position in which it is aligned approximately parallel to the coil axis 17, see FIG. 7 , He then lies on a support surface 37 and is held by a third latching hook 38 which under a fourth latching hook 39 (see also FIG. 2 ) engages the carrier 4. This latch hook 39 is located near the power on / off switch 15 and stabilizes it against the pressure applied by the user when turning on or off the blower 32. Subsequently, a cap 40 is set with controls 41 and 42 on the rear portion of the upper housing part 35.
