Description

STAUBSAUGER MIT KABELAUFNAHME UND SCHLAUCHHALTERUNG VACUUM CLEANER WITH CABLE CONNECTION AND HOSE MOUNT
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Staubsauger mit einem Gehäuseunterteil, an dem Räder zum Verfahren des Staubsaugers entlang einer Bodenfläche gelagert sind und das einen Schmutzsammelbehälter ausbildet mit einem Saugeinlass, an den ein Saugschlauch anschließbar ist, und mit einem auf das Gehäuseun- terteil aufsetzbaren Gehäuseoberteil, das ein elektrisch antreibbares Saugaggregat aufnimmt, und mit einem elektrischen Versorgungskabel zum An- schluss des Saugaggregates an eine elektrische Spannungsquelle.The invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a housing lower part, are mounted on the wheels for moving the vacuum cleaner along a bottom surface and which forms a dirt collecting container with a suction inlet, to which a suction hose is connected, and with an upper part of the housing on the housing upper part, the one receives electrically driven suction unit, and with an electrical supply cable to connect the suction unit to an electrical voltage source.
Mittels derartiger Staubsauger kann beispielsweise eine Bodefläche oder auch ein Möbelstück, insbesondere ein Polstermöbel, abgesaugt werden. Vom Benutzer kann der Staubsauger entlang der Bodenfläche verfahren werden. Hierzu sind am Gehäuseunterteil Räder gelagert, beispielsweise zwei Laufräder und zumindest ein um eine vertikale Schwenkachse verschwenkbares Lenkrad. Das im Gehäuseoberteil angeordnete Saugaggregat, das einen Elektromotor und eine Saugturbine aufweist, erzeugt im Schmutzsammelbehälter, der vom Gehäuseunterteil ausgebildet wird, einen Unterdruck, so dass über den Saugschlauch, der an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen werden kann, Schmutzpartikel in den Schmutzsammelbehälter gesaugt werden können. Um das Saugaggregat mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen, kommt ein elektrisches Ver- sorgungskabel zum Einsatz.By means of such vacuum cleaner, for example, a floor surface or even a piece of furniture, in particular a upholstered furniture, are sucked off. The user can move the vacuum cleaner along the floor surface. For this purpose, wheels are mounted on the lower housing part, for example, two wheels and at least one pivotable about a vertical pivot axis steering wheel. The suction unit arranged in the upper housing part, which has an electric motor and a suction turbine, generates a negative pressure in the dirt collecting container, which is formed by the lower housing part, so that dirt particles can be sucked into the dirt collector via the suction hose, which can be connected to the suction inlet. To supply the suction unit with electrical energy, an electrical supply cable is used.
Das elektrische Versorgungskabel kann eine Länge von über 10 Meter, beispielsweise eine Länge vom 15 Meter aufweisen, und auch der Saugschlauch weist üblicherweise eine beträchtliche Länge auf, beispielsweise eine Länge von mindestens zwei Metern. Zur Aufbewahrung des Staubsaugers wird das Versorgungskabel üblicherweise aufgewickelt und am Staubsauger gehalten. Außerdem ist es hilfreich, wenn auch der Saugschlauch am Gehäuse des Staubsaugers festgelegt werden kann. Wird der Staubsauger anschließend wieder in Betrieb genommen, so ist es für den Benutzer in vielen Fällen umständlich, das Versorgungskabel und den Saugschlauch unabhängig voneinander in eine Gebrauchsstellung zu überführen. Häufig besteht die Gefahr, dass sich Versorgungskabel und Saugschlauch miteinander verheddern und so die Ingebrauchnahme des Staubsaugers erschweren.The electrical supply cable may have a length of over 10 meters, for example, a length of 15 meters, and also the suction hose usually has a considerable length, for example, a length of at least two meters. To store the vacuum cleaner, the supply cable is usually wound up and held on the vacuum cleaner. In addition, it is helpful if the suction hose can be fixed to the housing of the vacuum cleaner. If the vacuum cleaner is then put back into operation, it is cumbersome for the user in many cases to transfer the supply cable and the suction hose independently in a position of use. Often there is a risk that the supply cable and suction hose become entangled with each other and thus complicate the use of the vacuum cleaner.

Hierzu kommt eine Schlauchhalterung zum Einsatz, die unterhalb der Kabelaufnahme angeordnet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Saugschlauch unterhalb des Versor- gungskabels am Staubsauger positioniert werden kann, so dass Versorgungskabel und Saugschlauch unabhängig voneinander zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger angeordnet werden können, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass sie sich verheddern. Vorzugsweise kann der Saugschlauch in die Schlauchhalterung eingeklemmt werden. Soll der Staubsauger in Betrieb gesetzt werden, so kann der Saugschlauch der Schlauchhalterung entnommen werden ohne die Entnahme des Versorgungskabels aus der Kabelaufnahme zu beeinträchtigen. Der erfindungsgemäße Staubsauger zeichnet sich damit durch eine einfachere Handhabung aus.The suction hose that can be connected to the suction inlet can also be easily positioned for storage on the vacuum cleaner. For this purpose, a hose holder is used, which is arranged below the cable receptacle. This has the advantage that the suction hose can be positioned below the supply cable on the vacuum cleaner, so that the supply cable and suction hose can be arranged independently of one another for storage on the vacuum cleaner without the risk of entanglement. Preferably, the suction hose can be clamped in the hose holder. If the vacuum cleaner is to be put into operation, then the suction hose of the hose holder can be removed without affecting the removal of the supply cable from the cable holder. The vacuum cleaner according to the invention is thus characterized by an easier handling.
Günstig ist es, wenn die Kabelaufnahme rinnenförmig ausgestaltet ist und eine Öffnung aufweist zum Hindurchführen eines Endbereichs des Versorgungskabels ins Innere des Gehäuseunterteils. An der Öffnung kann eine Zugentlastung angeordnet sein. Ausgehend vom Saugaggregat oder einer dem Saugaggregat zugeordneten Steuereinrichtung kann das Versorgungskabel zu- nächst innerhalb des Gehäuseoberteils verlaufen, um dann durch die in der Kabelaufnahme angeordnete Öffnung aus dem Gehäuseoberteil herauszutre- ten. Außerhalb des Gehäuseoberteils kann das Versorgungskabel zur Aufbewahrung in der rinnenförmigen Kabelaufnahme positioniert werden.It is expedient if the cable receptacle is designed to be channel-shaped and has an opening for passing an end region of the supply cable into the interior of the housing lower part. At the opening a strain relief can be arranged. Starting from the suction unit or a control device assigned to the suction unit, the supply cable can initially run inside the upper housing part, in order then to emerge from the upper housing part through the opening arranged in the cable receiver. Outside the top of the housing, the supply cable can be positioned in the channel-shaped cable holder for storage.
Die Schlauchhalterung ist vorzugsweise an der Außenseite des Gehäuseunter- teils festgelegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Gehäuseoberteil vom Gehäuseunterteil abgehoben werden kann, ohne dass zuvor der Saugschlauch der Schlauchhalterung entnommen werden muss.The tube holder is preferably fixed on the outside of the housing lower part. This has the advantage that the upper housing part can be lifted from the lower housing part without first having to remove the suction hose from the hose mount.
Als besonders günstig hat es sich erwiesen, die Schlauchhalterung auf der dem Saugeinlass abgewandten Seite des Gehäuseunterteils festzulegen.It has proved to be particularly favorable to fix the tube holder on the side of the lower housing part facing away from the suction inlet.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers ist die Schlauchhalterung in einem größeren Abstand zur Bodenfläche angeordnet als der Saugeinlass. Dies erleichtert die Positionierung des Saugschlauches in der Schlauchhalterung, wobei gleichzeitig ein Ende des Saugschlauches an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen ist.In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention, the hose holder is arranged at a greater distance from the bottom surface than the suction inlet. This facilitates the positioning of the suction hose in the hose holder, wherein at the same time one end of the suction hose is connected to the suction inlet.
Die Schlauchhalterung umfasst günstigerweise zumindest einen L-förmigen Haken. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Schlauchhalterung zwei L-för- mige Haken aufweist, die in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. In den mindestens einen Haken kann der Saugschlauch auf einfache Weise zur Aufbewahrung eingeklemmt oder eingehängt werden.The hose holder conveniently comprises at least one L-shaped hook. It is particularly advantageous if the tube holder has two L-shaped hooks, which are arranged at a distance from one another. In the at least one hook, the suction hose can be easily clamped or hooked for storage.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Haken parallel zueinander ausge- richtet sind. Von Vorteil ist es, wenn die Schlauchhalterung zwei Haken umfasst, die jeweils einen vom Gehäuseunterteil abstehenden ersten Schenkel aufweisen, an den sich ein zweiter Schenkel anschließt, der sich bis in Höhe des Gehäuseoberteils und im Abstand zu diesem erstreckt. Die ersten Schenkel der Haken können am Gehäuseunterteil festgelegt sein und die zweiten Schenkel können in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers in die der Bodenfläche abgewandte Richtung nach oben ragen, wobei die freien Enden der zweiten Schenkel seitlich neben dem Gehäuseoberteil und im Abstand zu diesem angeordnet sind. Der Saugschlauch kann dann auf einfache Wiese in den Bereich zwischen den zweiten Schenkeln und das Gehäuseoberteil eingesetzt werden, wobei er unterseitig von den ersten Schenkeln der Haken abgestützt wird.It can be provided that the two hooks are aligned parallel to one another. It is advantageous if the hose holder comprises two hooks, each having a protruding from the housing base first leg, to which a second leg connects, which extends up to the height of the upper housing part and at a distance therefrom. The first legs of the hooks may be fixed to the lower housing part and the second legs may protrude in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner in the direction away from the bottom surface upwards, wherein the free ends of the second leg are arranged laterally adjacent to the housing top and at a distance therefrom. The suction hose can then be used in a simple way in the area between the second legs and the upper housing part, wherein it is supported on the underside of the first legs of the hook.
Bevorzugt sind die beiden Haken der Schlauchhalterung über eine Traverse starr miteinander verbunden. Dies erhöht die mechanische Stabilität der Schlauchhalterung.Preferably, the two hooks of the hose holder via a crossbar are rigidly connected. This increases the mechanical stability of the hose holder.
Die Traverse bildet bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Staubsaugers eine Stützfläche aus zum Abstützen des Saugschlauches. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Saugschlauch nicht nur von den ersten Schenkeln der Haken in verti- kaier Richtung abgestützt wird, sondern er erfährt eine zusätzliche Stütze durch die Traverse, die die beiden Haken miteinander verbindet.The Traverse forms in an advantageous embodiment of the vacuum cleaner, a support surface for supporting the suction hose. This has the advantage that the suction hose is supported not only by the first legs of the hooks in the vertical direction, but he experiences an additional support by the crossbar, which connects the two hooks together.
Günstig ist es, wenn die Traverse und die beiden Haken einstückig aus einem Kunststoffformteil gebildet sind. Wie eingangs erwähnt, kann der Staubsauger mittels der am Gehäuseunterteil angeordneten Räder entlang einer Bodenfläche verfahren werden. Wird der Staubsauger zum Transport zu einem Reinigungsobjekt, beispielsweise für die Fahrt zu einer Baustelle, auf der Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeuges positio- niert, so besteht die Gefahr, dass der Staubsauger während des Transportes unbeabsichtigt in Bewegung gerät. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Staubsaugers ist deshalb vorgesehen, dass die Schlauchhalterung auf ihrer dem Gehäuseoberteil abgewandten Außenseite zumindest eine Stellfläche aufweist zum Abstellen des Staubsaugers auf einer Bodenfläche in einer bezogen auf die Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers um 90° gekippten Aufbewahrungsstellung. In seiner Betriebsstellung kontaktieren die am Gehäuseunterteil angeordneten Räder die Bodenfläche, so dass der Staubsauger verfahren werden kann. Zur Aufbewahrung kann der Staubsauger um 90° gekippt werden, wobei er mit der mindestens einen Stellfläche, vorzugsweise mit zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Stellflächen, der Schlauchhalterung auf der Bodenfläche aufsitzt. In dieser Stellung kann der Staubsauger nicht mittels der Räder verfahren werden, so dass die Gefahr vermieden wird, dass er während eines Transportes unbeabsichtigt verrutscht.It is advantageous if the traverse and the two hooks are integrally formed from a plastic molding. As mentioned above, the vacuum cleaner can be moved by means of the housing lower part arranged wheels along a bottom surface. If the vacuum cleaner is positioned on the loading area of a transport vehicle for transport to a cleaning object, for example for travel to a construction site, there is the risk that the vacuum cleaner will unintentionally start moving during transport. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is therefore provided that the hose holder has on its upper side facing away from the housing outer side at least one footprint for parking the vacuum cleaner on a floor surface in a tilted relative to the operating position of the vacuum cleaner by 90 ° storage position. In its operating position, the wheels arranged on the lower housing part contact the floor surface, so that the vacuum cleaner can be moved. For storage, the vacuum cleaner can be tilted by 90 °, wherein it is seated with the at least one footprint, preferably with two mutually spaced shelves, the hose holder on the bottom surface. In this position, the vacuum cleaner can not be moved by means of the wheels, so that the risk is avoided that it accidentally slips during transport.
Es kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass die Schlauchhalterung zwei L- förmige Schenkel aufweist. Dies wurde voranstehend bereits erläutert. Hierbei ist es günstig wenn die zweiten Schenkel im Bereich ihrer freien Enden dem Gehäuseoberteil abgewandt jeweils eine Stellfläche zum Abstellen des Staubsaugers auf einer Bodenfläche ausbilden. Mindestens eine weitere Stellfläche ist bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform am Gehäuseunterteil angeordnet. Ein Ende des Saugschlauches kann wie üblich an den Saugeinlass angeschlossen werden und an das andere Ende des Saugschlauches kann in üblicher Weise ein Saugrohr angeschlossen werden, das an seinem freien Ende eine Saugdüse trägt zum Absaugen einer Fläche. Beispielsweise kann am freien Ende des Saugrohrs eine Bodendüse befestigt werden. Günstig ist es, wenn alternativ zur Bodendüse beispielsweise eine Fugendüse, eine Polsterdüse oder auch eine Heizkörperbürste befestigt werden kann. Derartige Zubehörteile des Staubsaugers kommen zur Reinigung spezieller Flächen zum Einsatz. Die Zubehörteile können zur Aufbewahrung am Staubsauger angeordnet werden. Hierzu ist bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung zumindest eine Ausnehmung zum Aufbewahren von mindestens einem Zubehörteil des Staubsaugers angeordnet ist. Das mindestens eine Zubehörteil kann bevorzugt in die Ausnehmung eingeklemmt werden. Die Positionierung der Ausnehmung unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung führt zu einer weiteren Vereinfachung der Handhabung des Staubsaugers, da die Entnahme sowie das Einsetzen eines Zubehörteils in die Ausnehmung weder vom Saugschlauch noch vom Versorgungskabel beeinträchtigt wird.It can be provided, for example, that the hose holder has two L-shaped legs. This has already been explained above. In this case, it is favorable if the second limbs facing away from the housing upper part in the region of their free ends form in each case a footprint for parking the vacuum cleaner on a floor surface. At least one further footprint is arranged in an advantageous embodiment of the lower housing part. One end of the suction hose can be connected as usual to the suction inlet and to the other end of the suction hose can be connected in a conventional manner, a suction tube, which carries at its free end a suction nozzle for sucking a surface. For example, a floor nozzle can be attached to the free end of the suction tube. It is advantageous if, for example, a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle or even a radiator brush can be fastened as an alternative to the floor nozzle. Such accessories of the vacuum cleaner are used for cleaning special surfaces used. The accessories can be placed on the vacuum cleaner for storage. For this purpose, it is provided in a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention that at least one recess for storing at least one accessory of the vacuum cleaner is arranged below the hose holder. The at least one accessory can preferably be clamped in the recess. The positioning of the recess below the tube holder leads to a further simplification of the handling of the vacuum cleaner, since the removal and the insertion of an accessory in the recess is affected neither by the suction hose nor the supply cable.
Günstigerweise ist die mindestens eine Ausnehmung in ein Kunststoffformteil eingeformt, das an der Außenseite des Gehäuseunterteils angeordnet ist. Das Gehäuseunterteil kann somit eine Gestalt aufweisen, die lediglich an die optimale Funktion des Schmutzsammelbehälters angepasst sein kann, insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schmutzsammelbehälter innenseitig eine möglichst glatte Oberfläche aufweist, so dass er auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann. Die Formgebung des Gehäuseunterteils wird nicht durch die Bereitstellung von mindestens einer Ausnehmung beeinträchtigt, die zum Auf- bewahren von mindestens einem Zubehörteil zum Einsatz kommt. Für die Ausnehmung ist vielmehr ein separates Kunststoffformteil vorgesehen, das außenseitig an das Gehäuseunterteil angesetzt sein kann. Das Kunststoffformteil kann mit dem Gehäuseunterteil unlösbar verbunden, beispielsweise verrastet sein, es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Kunststoffformteil über eine lösbare Verbindung, beispielsweise über eine Schraubverbindung, mit dem Gehäuseunterteil verbunden ist.Conveniently, the at least one recess is formed in a plastic molded part, which is arranged on the outside of the housing lower part. The lower housing part can thus have a shape which can be adapted only to the optimal function of the dirt collecting container, in particular it can be provided that the dirt collecting container has on the inside as smooth as possible surface, so that it can be cleaned in a simple manner. The shape of the lower housing part is not impaired by the provision of at least one recess, which preservation of at least one accessory is used. Rather, a separate plastic molded part is provided for the recess, which may be attached to the outside of the housing lower part. The plastic molding can be permanently connected to the lower housing part, for example, be locked, but it can also be provided that the plastic molded part is connected via a detachable connection, for example via a screw, with the lower housing part.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn das Kunststoffformteil die mindestens eine Ausnehmung und darüber hinaus auch die Schlauchhalterung ausbildet. Dies erleichtert die Montage des Staubsaugers und reduziert auch dessen Herstellungskosten. Die Schlauchhalterung und die mindestens eine Ausnehmung bilden gemeinsam ein einteiliges Kunststoffformteil aus, das seitlich an das Gehäuseunterteil angesetzt werden kann. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Kunststoffformteil mehrere Ausnehmungen aufweist, beispielsweise Ausnehmungen zum Einsetzen einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und auch einer Heizkörperbürste. Diese Zubehörteile sind dem Benutzer auf einfache Weise unterhalb der Schlauchhalterung zugänglich. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die in der mindestens einen Ausnehmung angeordneten Zu- behörteile dem Benutzer unmittelbar zugänglich sind, ohne dass eine Klappe oder sonstige Abdeckung die Zubehörteile abdeckt.It is particularly advantageous if the plastic molded part forms the at least one recess and moreover also the tube holder. This facilitates the assembly of the vacuum cleaner and also reduces its production costs. The hose holder and the at least one recess together form a one-piece plastic molded part, which can be attached to the side of the housing lower part. In particular, it can be provided that the plastic molded part has a plurality of recesses, for example recesses for inserting a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle and also a radiator brush. These accessories are easily accessible to the user below the tube holder. In particular, it may be provided that the accessory parts arranged in the at least one recess are directly accessible to the user, without a flap or other cover covering the accessories.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Staubsauger eine erste und eine zweite Halteeinrichtung für eine mit dem Saugschlauch verbundene Boden- düse aufweist, wobei die erste Halteeinrichtung an einer Seitenwand des Gehäuseunterteils und die zweite Halteeinrichtung an einer Bodenwand des Gehäuseunterteils angeordnet ist. Wie bereits erläutert, ist es günstig, wenn der Staubsauger nicht nur in einer Betriebsstellung mit seinen Rädern entlang einer Bodenfläche verfahren werden kann sondern zusätzlich auch in einer bezogen auf die Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers um 90° gekippten Aufbewahrungsstellung abgestellt werden kann. In dieser Aufbewahrungsstellung ist die an der Bodenwand des Gehäuseunterteils positionierte zweite Halteeinrichtung dem Benutzer zugänglich, so dass er die Bodendüse an der zweiten Halteeinrichtung festlegen kann. Alternativ kann der Benutzer die Bodendüse in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers an der ersten Halteeinrichtung festlegen, die seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil positioniert ist. Wird beispielsweise ein Reinigungsvorgang nur kurzzeitig unterbrochen, so kann die seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil angeordnete erste Halteeinrichtung die Bodendüse aufnehmen, wird dagegen der Staubsauger für längere Zeit außer Betrieb gesetzt, so kann er um 90° in eine Aufbewahrungsstellung verkippt werden und anschließend kann die Bodendüse an der zweiten Halteeinrichtung festgelegt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the vacuum cleaner has a first and a second holding device for a bottom nozzle connected to the suction hose, wherein the first holding device is arranged on a side wall of the lower housing part and the second holding device on a bottom wall of the lower housing part. As already explained, it is favorable if the Vacuum cleaner can be moved not only in an operating position with its wheels along a floor surface but can also be turned off in a storage position tilted by 90 ° relative to the operating position of the vacuum cleaner. In this storage position, the second holding device positioned on the bottom wall of the lower housing part is accessible to the user, so that he can fix the floor nozzle to the second holding device. Alternatively, the user can set the floor nozzle in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner on the first holding device, which is positioned laterally on the housing lower part. If, for example, a cleaning process is interrupted only briefly, the laterally arranged on the lower housing part holding device can absorb the floor nozzle, however, the vacuum cleaner is put out of operation for a long time, it can be tilted by 90 ° in a storage position and then the floor nozzle on the second holding device are set.

In der Zeichnung ist schematisch ein erfindungsgemäßer Staubsauger 10 dar- gestellt mit einem Gehäuseunterteil 11 und einem auf das Gehäuseunterteil 11 aufsetzbaren Gehäuseoberteil 12. Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 bildet einen Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 aus mit einem Saugeinlass 15, der in Form eines Rohrstutzens ausgebildet ist und an den ein Saugschlauch 17 angeschlossen werden kann. Bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist an das freie Ende des Saugschlauches 17 ein teleskopierbares Saugrohr 18 angeschlossen, das an seinem freien Ende eine Bodendüse 19 zum Absaugen einer Bodenfläche trägt.In the drawing, a vacuum cleaner 10 according to the invention is shown schematically with a lower housing part 11 and an upper housing part 11 can be placed on the upper housing part 12. The lower housing part 11 forms a dirt collecting 14 with a suction inlet 15, which is in the form of a pipe socket and to a Suction hose 17 can be connected. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, a telescopic suction pipe 18 is connected to the free end of the suction hose 17, which carries at its free end a floor nozzle 19 for sucking a bottom surface.
Das Gehäuseoberteil 12 nimmt in üblicher und deshalb in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellter Weise ein Saugaggregat auf mit einer Saugturbine, die von einem Elektromotor angetrieben wird. Mittels des Saugaggregates kann der Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 in üblicher Weise mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt werden, so dass über die Bodendüse 19, das Saugrohr 18 und den Saugschlauch 17 Schmutzpartikel in den Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 eingesaugt werden können. Zum Anschluss des Saugaggregates an eine elektrische Spannungsquelle weist der Staubsauger 10 ein elektrisches Versorgungskabel 21 auf, das zur Aufbewahrung des Staubsaugers 10 in einer Kabelaufnahme 22 positioniert werden kann, die in Form einer Rinne 23 das Gehäuseoberteil 12 in Umfangsrichtung umgibt. Die Rinne 23 weist eine Öffnung 25 auf. Dies wird aus Figur 3 deutlich. Über die Öffnung kann ein Endbereich des Versorgungskabels 21 in das Innere des Gehäuseoberteils 12 eingeführt werden, so dass das Versorgungskabel 21 an eine Steuerelektronik des Staubsaugers 10 angeschlossen werden kann. Im Bereich der Öffnung 25 kann eine Zugentlastung festgelegt werden.The upper housing part 12 takes in a conventional and therefore not shown in the drawing manner, a suction unit with a suction turbine, which is driven by an electric motor. By means of the suction unit, the dirt collecting 14 can be acted upon in a conventional manner with negative pressure, so that 17 dirt particles can be sucked into the dirt collector 14 via the floor nozzle 19, the suction pipe 18 and the suction hose. To connect the suction unit to an electrical voltage source, the vacuum cleaner 10, an electrical supply cable 21 which can be positioned to store the vacuum cleaner 10 in a cable receptacle 22 which surrounds the housing upper part 12 in the circumferential direction in the form of a groove 23. The channel 23 has an opening 25. This becomes clear from FIG. Via the opening, an end region of the supply cable 21 can be inserted into the interior of the housing upper part 12 so that the supply cable 21 can be connected to control electronics of the vacuum cleaner 10. In the area of the opening 25, a strain relief can be set.
Oberseitig weist das Gehäuseoberteil 12 einen Handgriff 28 auf, der vom Benutzer erfasst werden kann, um den Staubsauger 10 zu tragen. Seitlich weist das Gehäuseoberteil 12 oberhalb des Saugeinlasses 15 zum Ein- und Ausschalten des in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Saugaggregates einen Fuß- Schalter 29 auf, der in Form eines Tasters ausgebildet ist.On the upper side, the upper housing part 12 on a handle 28 which can be detected by the user to carry the vacuum cleaner 10. Laterally, the upper housing part 12 above the suction inlet 15 for switching on and off of the suction unit, not shown in the drawing, a foot switch 29, which is in the form of a button.
Am Gehäuseunterteil 11 sind um eine gemeinsame Drehachse 31 frei drehbar zwei Laufräder 32, 33 gelagert. Außerdem sind am Gehäuseunterteil 11 zwei Lenkräder 35, 36 gelagert, die jeweils um eine Drehachse 37 bzw. 38 frei drehbar und zusätzlich um eine vertikale Schwenkachse 39 bzw. 40 verschwenkbar sind. Mittels der Laufräder 32, 33 und der Lenkräder 35, 36 kann der Staubsauger 10 entlang einer Bodenfläche 42 verfahren werden. Auf der dem Saugeinlass 15 abgewandten Rückseite des Gehäuseunterteils 11 ist oberhalb der Laufräder 32, 33 ein einteiliges Kunststoffformteil 45 am Gehäu- seunterteil 11 festgelegt. Das Kunststoffformteil 45 bildet drei Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49 aus, in die jeweils ein Zubehörteil eingesetzt werden kann in Form einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und einer Heizkörperbürste. Derartige Zu- behörteile sind dem Fachmann an sich bekannt und daher in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt. Oberhalb der Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49 bildet das Kunststoffformteil 45 eine Schlauchhalterung 51 aus zur Aufbewahrung des Saugschlauches 17, wenn der Staubsauger 10 außer Betrieb ist. Die Schlauchhal- terung 51 umfasst einen ersten L-förmigen Haken 53 und einen zweiten L- förmigen Haken 54, die parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind und jeweils einen ersten Schenkel 56 bzw. 57 aufweisen, der rückseitig vom Gehäuseunterteil 11 absteht, sowie einen zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60, der sich an das Ende des ersten Schenkels 56 bzw. 57 anschließt und vertikal in die der Bodenfläche 52 abgewandte Richtung ausgerichtet ist. Die freien Endbereiche 62, 63 der zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60 erstrecken sich in vertikaler Richtung bis in Höhe des Gehäuseoberteils 12.On the lower housing part 11, two wheels 32, 33 are freely rotatable about a common axis of rotation 31. In addition, two steering wheels 35, 36 are mounted on the housing lower part 11, which are each freely rotatable about an axis of rotation 37 and 38 and in addition to a vertical pivot axis 39 and 40 are pivotable. By means of the wheels 32, 33 and the steering wheels 35, 36, the vacuum cleaner 10 can be moved along a bottom surface 42. On the rear side of the lower housing part 11 facing away from the suction inlet 15, above the running wheels 32, 33, a one-piece plastic molded part 45 is fixed to the lower housing part 11. The plastic molding 45 forms three recesses 47, 48, 49, in each of which an accessory can be used in the form of a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle and a radiator brush. Such These parts are known per se to the person skilled in the art and are therefore not shown in the drawing. Above the recesses 47, 48, 49, the plastic molded part 45 forms a hose holder 51 for storing the suction hose 17 when the vacuum cleaner 10 is out of operation. The hose holder 51 comprises a first L-shaped hook 53 and a second L-shaped hook 54, which are aligned parallel to each other and each have a first leg 56 and 57 projecting from the rear of the housing base 11 and a second leg 59 or 60, which adjoins the end of the first leg 56 and 57 and is vertically aligned in the direction of the bottom surface 52 facing away from. The free end portions 62, 63 of the second leg 59 and 60 extend in the vertical direction up to the height of the upper housing part 12th
Die beiden Haken 53, 54 bilden jeweils eine Aufnahme für den Saugschlauch 17 aus. Dieser kann mit einem Ende am Saugeinlass 15 festgelegt sein und dann außenseitig um den Staubsauger 10 herumgeführt werden, um in den Bereich zwischen die zweiten Schenkel 59 bzw. 60 und das Gehäuseoberteil 12 eingesetzt zu werden. Die ersten Schenkel 56 bzw. 57 stützen den Saugschlauch 17 dann in vertikaler Richtung ab. Die ersten Schenkel 56 und 57 bilden hierzu jeweils eine in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers 10 im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtete Stützfläche 65 bzw. 66 aus. Die Stützflächen 65 und 66 sind in Höhe einer Trennfuge 68 angeordnet, die zwischen dem Gehäuseunterteil 11 und dem Gehäuseoberteil 12 verläuft.The two hooks 53, 54 each form a receptacle for the suction hose 17. This can be fixed at one end to the suction inlet 15 and then be guided around the outside of the vacuum cleaner 10 to be inserted into the region between the second legs 59 and 60 and the housing upper part 12. The first legs 56 and 57 support the suction hose 17 then in the vertical direction. For this purpose, the first legs 56 and 57 each form a support surface 65 or 66 which is oriented essentially horizontally in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner 10. The support surfaces 65 and 66 are arranged at the level of a parting line 68 which extends between the lower housing part 11 and the upper housing part 12.
In ihren freien Endbereichen 62 bzw. 63 bilden die zweiten Schenkel 59 und 60 auf ihrer dem Gehäuseoberteil 12 abgewandten Seite jeweils eine Stellfläche 70 bzw. 71 aus. Die zweiten Schenkel 59 und 60 können hierzu in ihren freien Endbereichen 62 bzw. 63 jeweils eine Rippenstruktur aufweisen. Zwei weitere Stellflächen 73 bzw. 74 definiert das Gehäuseunterteil 11 hinter den Laufrädern 32 und 33. Auf den Stellflächen 70, 71, 73 und 74 kann der Staubsauger 10 in einer bezogen auf die in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellte Be- triebsstellung um 90° gekippten Aufbewahrungsstellung, wie sie in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellt ist, auf der Bodenfläche 42 abgestellt werden. Dies wird insbesondere aus Figur 5 deutlich. In der Aufbewahrungsstellung des Staubsaugers 10 ruht dieser auf den Stellflächen 70, 71, 73 und 74 und die Laufräder 32, 33 sowie die Lenkräder 35, 36 sind zu der Bodenfläche 42 beabstandet. Der Staubsauger 10 kann in der Aufbewahrungsstellung nicht verfahren werden. Diese Aufbewahrungsstellung kann der Staubsauger insbesondere während eines Transportes einnehmen, wobei dann sichergestellt ist, dass er sich nicht unbeabsichtigt bewegt, wie dies in seiner Betriebsstellung der Fall sein könnte.In their free end regions 62 and 63, the second legs 59 and 60 each form a footprint 70 and 71 on their side facing away from the upper housing part 12. The second legs 59 and 60 can this purpose in their free end portions 62 and 63 each have a rib structure. Two further shelves 73 and 74 define the lower housing part 11 behind the wheels 32 and 33. On the shelves 70, 71, 73 and 74, the vacuum cleaner 10 in a relative to the operating position shown in Figures 1 to 4 by 90 ° tilted storage position, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, placed on the bottom surface 42. This becomes clear in particular from FIG. In the storage position of the vacuum cleaner 10 this rests on the shelves 70, 71, 73 and 74 and the wheels 32, 33 and the steering wheels 35, 36 are spaced from the bottom surface 42. The vacuum cleaner 10 can not be moved in the storage position. This storage position can occupy the vacuum cleaner, in particular during transport, in which case it is ensured that it does not move unintentionally, as could be the case in its operating position.
Die beiden Haken 53, 54 der Schlauchhalterung 51 sind über eine Traverse 76, die ebenfalls vom Kunststoffformteil 45 gebildet wird, starr miteinander verbunden. Die nach Art einer Stufe ausgebildete Traverse 76 definiert oberseitig eine weitere Stützfläche 77 für den Saugschlauch 17 und überdeckt in der Betriebsstellung des Staubsaugers 10 die unterhalb der Traverse 76 angeordneten Ausnehmungen 47, 48, 49.The two hooks 53, 54 of the hose holder 51 are rigidly connected to one another via a cross-member 76, which is likewise formed by the plastic molded part 45. Traverse designed in the manner of a step 76 defines on the upper side a further support surface 77 for the suction hose 17 and covers in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner 10, the arranged below the traverse 76 recesses 47, 48, 49th
Zwischen den beiden Haken 53 und 54 ist am Gehäuseoberteil 12 ein Gitter 79 angeordnet, das eine Ausblasöffnung des Staubsaugers 10 überdeckt. Über die Ausblasöffnung wird die vom Saugaggregat angesaugte Luft, nachdem sie ein hinter dem Gitter 79 positioniertes Filter durchströmt hat, nach außen abgegeben. Between the two hooks 53 and 54, a grating 79 is arranged on the upper housing part 12, which covers an exhaust opening of the vacuum cleaner 10. The air drawn in by the suction unit is discharged to the outside via the blow-out opening, after it has flowed through a filter positioned behind the grid 79.
Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 weist an seiner Außenseite eine erste Halteeinrichtung 81 mit einer T-förmigen Nut 82 auf, in die die Bodendüse 19 mit einer komplementär zur T-förmigen Nut 82 ausgebildeten Halterippe, die in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Eine zweite Halteeinrichtung 84 ist an der Unterseite 85 des Gehäuseunterteils 11 angeordnet. Die zweite Halteeinrichtung 84 ist identisch ausgestaltet wie die erste Halteeinrichtung 81 und weist ebenfalls eine T-förmige Nut 86 auf, in die die korrespondierende Halterippe der Bodendüse 11 zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Dies gibt dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit, bei einer kurzzeitigen Unterbrechung eines Reinigungsvorganges die Bodendüse in der ersten Halteeinrichtung 81 festzulegen, wie dies in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Hierbei nimmt der Staubsauger 10 seine Betriebsstellung ein, in der er mittels der Laufräder 32, 33 und der Lenkräder 35, 36 entlang der Bodenfläche 42 verfahren werden kann. Soll der Staubsauger 10 für längere Zeit außer Betrieb genommen werden, beispielsweise während eines Transportes zu einer Reinigungsstelle, so kann der Staubsauger 10 in die Aufbewahrungsstellung verkippt werden, in der die zweite Halteeinrichtung 84 dem Benutzer zugänglich ist, so dass er die Bodendüse 19 zusammen mit dem Saugrohr 18 und dem freien Ende des Saugschlauches 17 unterseitig am Gehäuseunterteil 11 festlegen kann.The lower housing part 11 has on its outer side a first holding device 81 with a T-shaped groove 82 into which the floor nozzle 19 with a complementary to the T-shaped groove 82 formed retaining rib, which is not shown in the drawing, can be used for storage , A second holding device 84 is arranged on the underside 85 of the housing lower part 11. The second holding device 84 is configured identically as the first holding device 81 and also has a T-shaped groove 86 into which the corresponding holding rib of the floor nozzle 11 can be used for storage. This gives the user the opportunity to set the floor nozzle in the first holding device 81 during a brief interruption of a cleaning process, as shown in FIG. Here, the vacuum cleaner 10 assumes its operating position in which it can be moved by means of the wheels 32, 33 and the steering wheels 35, 36 along the bottom surface 42. If the vacuum cleaner 10 is to be taken out of service for a long time, for example, during transport to a cleaning point, the vacuum cleaner 10 can be tilted into the storage position in which the second holder 84 is accessible to the user, so that he 19 together with the floor nozzle the suction tube 18 and the free end of the suction hose 17 on the underside of the lower housing part 11 can set.
Eine zusätzliche Vereinfachung der Handhabung wird beim Staubsauger 10 dadurch erzielt, dass das Gehäuseoberteil 12 oberseitig neben dem Handgriff 28 eine kreisringförmige Steckaufnahme 88 aufweist, in die das freie Ende des Saugschlauches 17, nachdem es vom Saugrohr 18 getrennt wurde, zur Aufbewahrung eingesetzt werden kann. Die Steckaufnahme 88 dient somit der Halterung des freien Endes des Saugschlauches 17 bei seiner Aufbewahrung. Ein Ende des Saugschlauches kann somit am Saugeinlass 15 des Schmutzsammelbehälters 14 festgelegt sein und das andere Ende des Saugschlauches kann mittels der Steckaufnahme 88 oberseitig am Gehäuseoberteil 12 festge- legt sein, nachdem der Saugschlauch um das Gehäuseoberteil 12 außenseitig herumgeführt und mittels der Haken 53 und 54 am Gehäuseoberteil 12 festgeklemmt wurde. Das Saugrohr 18 kann zusammen mit der Bodendüse 19 an der ersten Halteeinrichtung 81 seitlich am Gehäuseunterteil festgelegt werden.An additional simplification of the handling is achieved in the vacuum cleaner 10, characterized in that the upper housing part 12 next to the handle 28 has an annular plug-in receptacle 88 into which the free end of the suction hose 17, after it has been separated from the suction tube 18, can be used for storage. The plug-in receptacle 88 thus serves the Holder of the free end of the suction hose 17 during its storage. One end of the suction hose can thus be fixed to the suction inlet 15 of the dirt collecting container 14, and the other end of the suction hose can be fixed on the upper side of the housing upper part 12 by means of the plug receptacle 88, after the suction hose has been guided around the housing upper part 12 on the outside and by means of the hooks 53 and 54 was clamped on the upper housing part 12. The suction tube 18 can be fixed together with the floor nozzle 19 on the first holding device 81 laterally on the housing lower part.
Aus dem Voranstehenden wird deutlich, dass die rinnenförmige Kabelaufnahme 22 für das Versorgungskabel 21 oberhalb der Schlauchhalterung 51 angeordnet ist, die wiederum oberhalb der Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 positioniert ist. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dies eine besonders einfache Handhabung des Staubsaugers ermöglicht. Insbesondere kann das Versorgungskabel 21 auf einfache Weise in der Kabelaufnahme 22 positioniert werden, ohne dass der Benutzer dabei vom Saugschlauch 17 behindert wird. Dieser wiederum kann zur Aufbewahrung in die Schlauchhalterung 51 eingeklemmt werden und der Schlauchhalterung 51 bei der Inbetriebnahme des Staubsaugers 10 auf einfache Weise entnommen werden, ohne dass er hierbei vom Versor- gungskabel 21 behindert wird. Es besteht praktisch keine Gefahr, dass sich Versorgungskabel 21 und Saugschlauch 17 verheddern. Unabhängig von der Positionierung des Versorgungskabels 21 und des Saugschlauches 17 kann der Benutzer Zubehörteile in Form einer Fugendüse, einer Polsterdüse und einer Heizkörperbürste in die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 einklemmen, wobei ihm diese Ausnehmungen unmittelbar zugänglich sind. Die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 werden in Kombination mit der Schlauchhalterung 51 vom einteiligen Kunststoffformteil 45 gebildet, das seitlich an das Gehäuseunterteil 11 ange- setzt ist. Dies verleiht der Kabelhalterung 51 eine hohe mechanische Belastbarkeit und der Staubsauger 10 kann auf einfache Weise montiert werden. Die Ausnehmungen 47, 48 und 49 werden vom Kunststoffformteil 45 vorgegeben, so dass die Formgebung des Gehäuseunterteils 11 davon unbeeinträchtigt ist. Das Gehäuseunterteil 11 kann daher innenseitig eine glatte Oberfläche aufweisen, so dass der Schmutzsammelbehälter 14 auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann. It will be apparent from the foregoing that the channel-shaped cable receptacle 22 for the umbilical cable 21 is located above the tube retainer 51, which in turn is positioned above the recesses 47, 48 and 49. It has been shown that this allows a particularly simple handling of the vacuum cleaner. In particular, the supply cable 21 can be easily positioned in the cable receptacle 22, without the user being hindered by the suction hose 17. This in turn can be clamped for storage in the tube holder 51 and the tube holder 51 are taken during commissioning of the vacuum cleaner 10 in a simple manner, without this he is hindered supply cable 21 here. There is virtually no danger that supply cable 21 and suction hose 17 get tangled. Regardless of the positioning of the supply cable 21 and the suction hose 17, the user can clamp accessories in the form of a crevice nozzle, a upholstery nozzle and a radiator brush in the recesses 47, 48 and 49, these recesses are directly accessible to him. The recesses 47, 48 and 49 are formed in combination with the hose holder 51 of the one-piece plastic molded part 45, the laterally attached to the housing lower part 11 is set. This gives the cable holder 51 a high mechanical load capacity and the vacuum cleaner 10 can be mounted in a simple manner. The recesses 47, 48 and 49 are predetermined by the plastic molded part 45, so that the shape of the lower housing part 11 thereof is unaffected. The housing lower part 11 can therefore have a smooth surface on the inside, so that the dirt collecting container 14 can be cleaned in a simple manner.
