Abstract

The present invention relates to a floor cleaning device (10), particularly a household vacuum cleaner, having at least one air outlet opening (21) at the device housing (20) for the air flow (L) created by a ventilation unit (11), wherein a first cover (30) having air guiding elements (31) is disposed behind the air outlet opening (21) with regard to the direction of the air flow (L) for calculating the air flow (L). In order to improve the blow-out characteristics, at least one additional cover (40) having air guiding elements (41) is connected downstream of the first cover (30), said air guiding elements being configured differently from the first air guide elements (31) with regard to the arrangement, type, and/or geometry thereof. Air guiding elements (31, 41) having unique geometries (50, 51) may be advantageously configured by the at least two-piece cover (30, 40) of the air outlet opening (21), which generate significantly improved diffusing air flows, as cannot be realized using one-part covers, or other solutions known according to prior art.

Description

Bodenpflegegerät, insbesondere Haushaltsstaubsauger Floor care appliance, in particular household vacuum cleaner
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Bodenpflegegerät, insbesondere einen Haushaltsstaubsauger, mit mindestens einer Luftaustrittsöffnung am Gerätegehäuse für den von einem Gebläseaggregat erzeugten Luftstrom L, wobei in Bezug auf die Richtung des Luftstromes L nach der Luftaustrittsöffnung eine Abdeckung mit Luftführungselementen zur Brechung des Luftstroms L angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a floor care device, in particular a household vacuum cleaner, with at least one air outlet opening on the device housing for the air flow L generated by a blower unit, wherein with respect to the direction of the air flow L after the air outlet opening a cover with air guide elements for refraction of the air flow L is arranged.
Gemeinhin wird die Ausblasluft eines Bodenpflegegerätes wie die eines Staubsaugers für dessen Nutzer als störend und unangenehm empfunden, insbesondere wenn diese das nackte Oberbein oder gar das Gesicht berührt. Zur Vermeidung dieser Problematik ist bereits bekannt, den Luftstrom mittels mechanischer Mittel, insbesondere mittels speziell angeordneter Filter oder einer Luftleiteinrichtung aufzuteilen oder umzulenken, um so einen schwächeren oder zumindest diffusen Luftstrom zu erhalten. Dabei darf jedoch die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Ausblasluft nicht derart abgebremst werden, dass es zu einem Wärmerückstau kommt, welcher ggf. das Gebläse in Mitleidenschaft zieht.In general, the exhaust air of a floor care device such as a vacuum cleaner for the user is distracting and unpleasant, especially if it touches the bare upper leg or even the face. To avoid this problem is already known to divide the air flow by mechanical means, in particular by means of specially arranged filter or a louver or deflect, so as to obtain a weaker or at least diffuse air flow. However, the flow velocity of the blow-out air must not be slowed down in such a way that there is a backflow of heat, which possibly affects the blower.
Aus der DE 199 25 227 C2 sind Abluftfilter bekannt, die in Rahmenkästen eingesetzt sind. Die Abluftfilter sind der in die Umgebungsluft mündenden Ausblasöffnung in Bezug auf die Strömungsrichtung der Ausblasluft vorgeschaltet. Die Abluftfilter bestehen aus mindestens zwei vor der Ausblasöffnung in einem Aufnahmeschacht zueinander schräg angeordneten Abschnitten. Die mindestens zwei Abschnitte des Abluftfilters sind schräg nach außen geneigt angeordnet. Durch die zueinander schräg gestellten Abschnitte des sich selbst tragenden Abluftfilters wird der Abluftstrom aufgespaltet und entsprechend der Schrägstellung der Filterabschnitte in verschiedene Richtungen gelenkt. Durch diese Anordnung wird ein geteilter Luftstrom erzeugt, der vom Benutzer als weniger störend empfunden wird.From DE 199 25 227 C2 exhaust air filters are known, which are used in frame boxes. The exhaust air filters are connected upstream of the discharge opening into the ambient air with respect to the flow direction of the exhaust air. The exhaust filters consist of at least two before the exhaust opening in a receiving shaft to each other obliquely arranged sections. The at least two sections of the exhaust filter are arranged obliquely inclined outwards. By the mutually inclined sections of the self-supporting exhaust filter, the exhaust air stream is split and directed according to the inclination of the filter sections in different directions. By this arrangement, a split air flow is generated, which is perceived by the user as less disturbing.
Aus der DE 103 20 079 A1 ist eine Filtervorrichtung zum lösbaren Einsetzen in einen Staubsauger bekannt, die einen Halterahmen aufweist, der zwischen einer anströmseiti- gen Öffnung und einer Ausblasöffnung ein Filtermaterial trägt, und die eine Luftleiteinrichtung zum Umlenken der aus der Ausblasöffnung ausströmenden Luft besitzt. Um eine Verwirbelung der aus dem Filter austretenden Luft erreichen zu können, ohne auf am Staubsaugergehäuse angeordnete Ausblasgitter angewiesen zu sein, weist die bekannte Filtervorrichtung Mittel auf, welche die aus dem Filtermaterial austretende Luft in Richtung zur Zentrumsachse der Ausblasöffnung hin umlenken.DE 103 20 079 A1 discloses a filter device for releasable insertion into a vacuum cleaner which has a holding frame which carries a filter material between an inlet-side opening and an outlet opening and which has an air-guiding device for deflecting the air flowing out of the outlet opening , To one To be able to achieve turbulence of the air emerging from the filter, without having to rely on the exhaust grille arranged on the vacuum cleaner housing, the known filter device has means which deflect the air emerging from the filter material in the direction of the center axis of the exhaust opening.
Nachteilig an den bisherigen Lösungen jedoch ist, dass gleichwohl Bereiche verbleiben, in denen der Nutzer eines Bodenpflegegerätes unangenehme Luftströme verspürt kann, selbst noch in Abständen von 1 m und mehr Entfernung von der Luftaustrittsöffnung.A disadvantage of the previous solutions, however, is that nevertheless remain areas in which the user of a ground care device can feel unpleasant air currents, even at intervals of 1 m and more distance from the air outlet opening.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbes- sertes Bodenpflegegerät, insb. Haushaltsstaubsauger, bereitzustellen, welcher mittels einer verbesserten Ausblascharakteristik die im Stand der Technik bekannten Nachteile minimiert.On this basis, the object of the present invention is to provide an improved floor care appliance, in particular a household vacuum cleaner, which minimizes the disadvantages known in the prior art by means of an improved discharge characteristic.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Bodenpflegegerät, insb. Haushaltsstaubsauger, mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a floor care device, esp. Household vacuum cleaner, with the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bodenpflegegerät, insb. Haushaltsstaubsauger, baut auf gat- tungsgemäßen Geräten dadurch auf, dass der ersten Abdeckung wenigstens eine weitereThe floor care appliance according to the invention, especially a household vacuum cleaner, is based on devices of the generic type in that the first cover has at least one additional one
Abdeckung mit Luftführungselementen nachgeordnet ist, welche in ihrer Anordnung, Art und/oder Geometrie von den ersten Luftführungselementen abweichend ausgebildet sind.Cover with air guide elements is arranged downstream, which are designed differently in their arrangement, type and / or geometry of the first air guide elements.

Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt lenken die in der ersten und zweiten Abdeckung ausgebildeten Luftführungselemente den Luftstrom (L) wenigstens zweimal in seiner Richtung um.According to the invention, the air guide elements formed in the first and second cover preferably deflect the air flow (L) at least twice in its direction.
Dabei können die Luftführungselemente in ihrer Art gleich oder unterschiedlich ausgebildet oder versetzt oder unter verschiedenen Winkel zueinander angeordnet sein. Insbesondere können die Luftführungselemente in einem Winkel zwischen 30° bis 150° zueinander angeordnet sein.In this case, the air guide elements may be the same or different in their nature or offset or arranged at different angles to each other. In particular, the air guide elements can be arranged at an angle between 30 ° to 150 ° to each other.
Zweckmäßiger Weise können die Luftführungselemente in ihrer Art und/oder Geometrie gleich oder unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein, insbesondere als Prallwand, Strömungska- nal, Flügelprofil, oder dergleichen mehr.Appropriately, the air guide elements may be formed in their nature and / or geometry the same or different, in particular as a baffle, Strömungska- channel, sash profile, or the like.
Alternativ oder kumulativ hierzu können auch die Abdeckungen in ihrer Art und/oder Geometrie regelmäßig und/oder zyklisch alternierend ausgebildete Luftführungselemente aufweisen.Alternatively or cumulatively thereto, the covers may also have regular and / or cyclic alternately formed air guide elements in their nature and / or geometry.
Zur Erzeugung diffuser Luftströme hat sich auch bewährt, die zweiten Luftführungselemente zueinander größer beanstandet anzuordnen als die ersten Luftführungselemente.To generate diffuse air flows has also proven to be the second air guide elements to each other more objectionable to arrange than the first air guide elements.
Besonders gute Diffus-Luftströme haben bei Luftführungselementen eingestellt, welche wenigstens zur Hälfte, vorzugsweise jedoch in Gänze als S-Form ausgebildet sind, so dass die Luftführungselemente von erster und zweiter Abdeckung insgesamt wenigsten eine, vorzugsweise ein doppel-S-Form, ergeben, welche bevorzugt gegensinnig zueinander ausgebildet ist.Particularly good diffuse air streams have been set in air guide elements, which are at least half, but preferably in the form of an S-shaped, so that the air guide elements of the first and second cover total at least one, preferably a double-S-form result, which is preferably formed in opposite directions to each other.
Um benachbart der Luftaustrittsöffnung ein kreuzen von Luftströmen zu erzielen hat sich bewährt, die Luftführungselemente von erster und zweiter Abdeckung gruppenweise gegensinnig um ein, vorzugsweise kreuzförmiges, Mittenelement anzuordnen.In order to achieve a crossing of air streams adjacent to the air outlet opening, it has proven useful to arrange the air guiding elements of the first and second cover in groups in opposite directions about a, preferably cross-shaped, center element.
Zur Reduzierung die Luftströmungsgeschwindigkeit kann die zweite Abdeckung einen größere Luftaustrittsfläche als die erste Abdeckung aufweisen.To reduce the air flow rate, the second cover may have a larger air outlet area than the first cover.
Vorzugsweise ist die erste Abdeckung integraler Bestandteil eines Staubsaugergehäuseteils, insbesondere eines Seitenteils, Deckels, Kappe, separate Gebläseabdeckungselements oder anderen Bauteils des Staubsaugers.Preferably, the first cover is an integral part of a vacuum cleaner housing part, in particular a side part, lid, cap, separate fan cover element or other component of the vacuum cleaner.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung lassen sich erstmals Diffus-Luftströme erzeugen, welche für den Benutzer eines Bodenpflegegerätes bei leistungsstärkeren Gebläsen größer 1400 Watt schon in Abständen von etwa 25 bis 65 cm, insbesondere von etwa 35 bis 55 cm, vorzugsweise bei Entfernungen zwischen 40 und 45 cm zur Luftaustrittsöffnung oder bei leistungsschwächeren Gebläsen kleiner 1600 Watt auch in Abständen von 10 bis 45 cm, insbesondere von 20 bis 35 cm, vorzugsweise bei Entfernungen zwischen 25 und 30 cm zur Luftaustrittsöffnung kaum noch spürbar sind.With the present invention, it is possible for the first time to produce diffuse air streams, which for the user of a floor care appliance with powerful blowers greater than 1400 watts already at intervals of about 25 to 65 cm, in particular from about 35 to 55 cm, preferably at distances between 40 and 45 cm to the air outlet or power less fans less than 1600 watts at intervals of 10 to 45 cm, especially from 20 to 35 cm, preferably at distances between 25 and 30 cm to the air outlet are hardly noticeable.

Bei der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung bezeichnen gleiche Bezugszeichen gleiche oder vergleichbare Komponenten.In the following description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, like reference characters designate like or similar components.
Wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt besteht der Deckel 22 eines erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers 10 wenigstens abschnittsweise aus zwei schalenförmigen Abdeckungen 30 und 40, die im Bereich einer oder mehrerer auch als Ausblasschlitze bezeichneten Luftaustrittsöffnungen 21 übereinander liegend angeordnet sind. Der Grunddeckel 23 ist im Bereich des Staubraums 24 geschlossen ausgebildet, so dass kein Vakuum-Verlust entsteht.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover 22 of a vacuum cleaner 10 according to the invention consists at least in sections of two cup-shaped covers 30 and 40, which are arranged one above the other in the region of one or more as outlet openings designated air outlet openings 21. The basic cover 23 is in Area of the dust chamber 24 is formed closed, so that no vacuum loss.
Die zweite Abdeckung 40 wird beispielsweise von oben auf die erste Abdeckung 30, welche Teil des Grunddeckel 23 sein kann, aufgesteckt und z.B. über zueinander korrespon- dierend ausgebildete durchtauchende Rippen 31 , 42 ggf. mittels Ultraschall und/oder durch Klebung verstemmt und/oder anders form- und/oder kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden, so dass ein Lösen nicht mehr möglich ist.The second cover 40 is, for example, from above the first cover 30, which may be part of the base cover 23, plugged and e.g. via intersecting ribs 31, 42 corresponding to one another, possibly caulked by means of ultrasound and / or by gluing and / or connected to one another in a form-locking and / or force-locking manner so that loosening is no longer possible.
Erfindungsgemäß sind in der zweiten Abdeckung 40 Luftführungselemente 41 angeord- net, welche in ihrer Anordnung, Art und/oder Geometrie von Luftführungselementen 31 der ersten Abdeckung 30 wenigstens segmentweise abweichend ausgebildet sind und umgekehrt. Insbesondere können rippenförmig ausgebildete Luftführungselemente 31 der ersten Abdeckung 30 im Ausblasbereich 21 derart schräg angestellt sein, dass sie denAccording to the invention, air guide elements 41 are arranged in the second cover 40, which in their arrangement, type and / or geometry of air guide elements 31 of the first cover 30 are at least segmentally deviating and vice versa. In particular, rib-shaped air guide elements 31 of the first cover 30 in the discharge area 21 can be made obliquely in such a way that they
Luftstrom L zunächst abbremsen. In der zweiten Abdeckung 40 ausgebildete rippenförmi- ge Luftführungselemente 41 geben dann der Ausblassluft L die gewünschte Richtung.First decelerate air flow L. Formed in the second cover 40 rippenförmi- ge air guide elements 41 then give the blow-out air L the desired direction.
Wie in Fig. 3 ersichtlich, sind erste und zweite Luftführungselemente 31 und 41 vorzugsweise gegensinnig S-förmig ausgebildet. Die im montierten Zustand von erster 30 und zweiter 40 Abdeckung einhergehende doppel-S-Form 51 bewirkt hervorragend die zuvor beschriebene Abbremsung und Richtungsgebung des Luftstroms L, ohne die Luftströmung L dergestalt zu bremsen, dass ein ggf. das Gebläse 1 1 schädigender und insoweit unerwünschter Wärmerückstau entsteht. Er L behält somit eine „gesunde" Grundgeschwindigkeit bei.As shown in Fig. 3, first and second air guide elements 31 and 41 are preferably formed in opposite directions S-shaped. The accompanying in the assembled state of the first 30 and second 40 cover double-S-shape 51 causes excellent braking and directional direction of the air flow L described above, without braking the air flow L such that a possibly the fan 1 1 damaging and undesirable so far Heat accumulation arises. He L thus maintains a "healthy" ground speed.
Wie Fig. 3 weiterhin verdeutlich, können die aus den rippenförmigen Luftführungselementen 31 und 41 entstehenden doppel-S-förmigen Führungselemente 51 insb. gegensinnig um ein, vorzugsweise kreuzförmiges, Mittenelement 50 von beispielsweise je fünf doppel- S-förmige Führungselementen 51 gruppiert angeordnet sein, so dass die links L1 und die rechts L2 um das Mittenelement 50 strömende Luft L sich über dem Gerät 10 kreuzt, je nach verwendeten Gebläse 1 1 und Filter (nicht dargestellt) vorzugsweise in einem Abstand von 10 bis 65 cm, bei leistungsstärkeren Gebläsen 11 insbesondere bei etwa 40 cm oder 45 cm, bei leistungsschwächeren Gebläsen 11 insbesondere bei 25 oder 30 cm Entfernung von der/den Luftaustrittsöffnung/en 21. Mit anderen Worten bewirken die erfin- dungsgemäßen Luftführungselemente 31 , 41 , 51 , dass die ausströmende Luft L, L1 , L2, ... nicht annähernd so lang zielgerichtet im Raum verbleibt, wie dies bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Bodenpflegegeräten der Fall ist.3, the double-S-shaped guide elements 51 emerging from the rib-shaped air guiding elements 31 and 41 can in particular be grouped in opposite directions around a, preferably cross-shaped, center element 50 of, for example, five double S-shaped guide elements 51 each. so that the left L1 and the right L2 to the center element 50 flowing air L crosses over the device 10, depending on the blower used 1 1 and filter (not shown) preferably at a distance of 10 to 65 cm, with more powerful blowers 11 in particular at about 40 cm or 45 cm, with less powerful blowers 11, in particular at 25 or 30 cm distance from the air outlet opening (s) 21. In other words, the inventions According to the invention air guide elements 31, 41, 51, that the outflowing air L, L1, L2, ... not nearly as long targeted in the room remains, as is the case with the known from the prior art ground care equipment.
Fig. 4 schließlich zeigt die in erster 30 und zweiter 40 Abdeckung ausgebildeten Luftfüh- rungselemente 31 und 41 nach Fig. 3 ausschnittsweise in einer perspektivischen Explosionsdarstellung, welche 30, 31 , 40, 41 vorzugsweise in der sog. Auf-Zu-Technik ohne separaten Querschieber hergestellt sein können. Insbesondere ist erkennbar, wie die nächstliegende erste Abdeckung 30 des auszublasenden Luftstroms L in eine erste Richtung umlenkt, die der Senkrechten zu der Abdeckung 30 abweicht und wie die weitere zweite Abdeckung 40 den Luftstrom L in eine entgegengesetzten Richtung zu der ersten Umlenkung richtet.Finally, FIG. 4 shows the air guiding elements 31 and 41 of FIG. 3 formed in the first 30 and second 40 sections in a perspective exploded view, which 30, 31, 40, 41 preferably in the so-called on-off technique without separate Cross slide can be made. In particular, it can be seen how the closest first cover 30 of the air flow L to be discharged deflects in a first direction which deviates from the perpendicular to the cover 30 and how the further second cover 40 directs the air flow L in an opposite direction to the first deflection.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung lassen sich erstmals Diffus-Luftströme L, L1 , L2, ... erzeugen, welche für den Benutzer eines Bodenpflegegerätes 10 schon in Abständen von 30 bis 50 cm zur Luftaustrittsöffnung 21 kaum noch spürbar sind.With the present invention, it is possible for the first time to generate diffuse air flows L, L1, L2,..., Which are hardly noticeable to the user of a floor care appliance 10 at intervals of 30 to 50 cm from the air outlet opening 21.
Darüber hinaus erlaubt der aus zwei schalenförmigen Abdeckungen 30 und 40 gebildete Deckel 22 ein Verklemmen weiterer Bauteile wie Sichtfenster 60 für die Leistungsanzeige, ohne dass es zusätzlicher werkzeugaufwendiger Verrastungen bedarf.In addition, the lid 22 formed from two cup-shaped covers 30 and 40 allows jamming of other components such as viewing windows 60 for the power display, without the need for additional tool-consuming locking.
Insgesamt aber liegt der Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, dass die Ausblassluft L zunächst abgebremst und dann umgelenkt wird, so dass ein Luftstrom L entsteht, welcher in 1 Meter und mehr Abstand zur Ausblasöffnung 21 nicht mehr wahrnehmbar ist.Overall, however, the advantage of the present invention is that the exhaust air L is first braked and then deflected, so that an air flow L is formed, which is no longer perceptible in 1 meter and more distance to the exhaust port 21.
Mit anderen Worten: durch die wenigstens zweiteilige Abdeckung 30, 40 der Luftaustrittsöffnung 21 können vorteilhaft Luftführungselemente mit einzigartigen Geometrien 50, 51 ausgebildet welche, welche derart deutlich verbesserte Diffus-Luftströme L, L1 , L2 ... erzeugen, wie diese mit einteiligen Abdeckungen oder anderen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen nicht realisierbar sind. BezugszeichenlisteIn other words: by the at least two-part cover 30, 40 of the air outlet opening 21 can advantageously air guide elements with unique geometries 50, 51 formed which, which produce such significantly improved diffused air streams L, L1, L2 ..., as with one-piece covers or Other solutions known from the prior art are not feasible.
