Description

L'invention concerne le domaine électroménager des aspirateurs et plus particulièrement la structure d'un aspirateur.The invention relates to the field of household appliances vacuum cleaners and more particularly the structure of a vacuum cleaner.

Afin de simplifier la structure des aspirateurs, il a été proposé de réaliser des sous-ensembles qui sont ensuite assemblés.In order to simplify the structure of the vacuum cleaners, it has been proposed to produce subassemblies which are then assembled.

Ainsi, le document EP 0 790 031 A1 décrit un aspirateur dont le moto-ventilateur, l'enrouleur et au moins une partie de commande du moto-ventilateur constituent un bloc technique qui n'est en liaison aéraulique avec l'extérieur de l'aspirateur que par une ouverture d'admission et une ouverture de refoulement. Le bloc technique est rapporté dans l'appareil, au niveau d'une paroi latérale délimitant, avec la partie avant de l'aspirateur, le compartiment du sac à poussières, par un joint entourant l'ouverture d'admission du bloc technique. Ainsi, le bâti est formé par deux demi-coques. La forme des deux demi-coques est assez complexe puisqu'il est nécessaire de prévoir des logements et des fixations pour les différents constituants de l'aspirateur. De plus, la jonction entre les deux demi-coques est visible par l'utilisateur.Thus, the document EP 0 790 031 A1 describes a vacuum cleaner whose motor-fan, the winder and at least one control part of the motor-fan constitute a technical block which is in connection with the aerator with the outside of the vacuum cleaner only through an intake opening and a discharge opening. The technical unit is attached to the device, at the level of a side wall defining, with the front part of the vacuum cleaner, the compartment of the dust bag, by a seal surrounding the inlet opening of the technical block. Thus, the frame is formed by two half-shells. The shape of the two half-shells is quite complex since it is necessary to provide housing and fasteners for the various components of the vacuum cleaner. In addition, the junction between the two half-shells is visible to the user.

Le document FR 2 902 632 A1 constitue l'état de l'art le plus proche.The document FR 2 902 632 A1 is the closest state of the art.

Le ventilateur 11 et le moteur 10 sont montés sur le support dans un deuxième logement 32. Le deuxième logement 32 comprend une paroi 33 perforée permettant une circulation d'air entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du logement 32.The fan 11 and the motor 10 are mounted on the support in a second housing 32. The second housing 32 comprises a perforated wall 33 allowing air to circulate between the inside and the outside of the housing 32.

Le premier sous-ensemble 1 peut comprendre également un capot 4 monté sur le support 3 de façon à coiffer les premier et deuxième logements 31, 32. Le capot 4 comprend des bossages 41 et 42 en vis-à-vis des logements 31 et 32 du support 3. Le capot 4 comprend une ouverture 43 permettant à l'air sortant du deuxième logement 32 de sortir vers l'extérieur de l'aspirateur. Un filtre 44 constitué d'une mousse peut être monté dans l'ouverture 43 pour capter des particules de poussières qui n'auraient pas été retenues dans le dispositif de filtration (non représenté).The first subassembly 1 may also comprise a cover 4 mounted on the support 3 so as to cover the first and second housings 31, 32. The cover 4 comprises bosses 41 and 42 facing the housings 31 and 32 3. The cover 4 comprises an opening 43 allowing the air leaving the second housing 32 to exit to the outside of the vacuum cleaner. A filter 44 consisting of a foam may be mounted in the opening 43 to capture dust particles that would not have been retained in the filter device (not shown).

Les moyens de commande 13a, 13b comprennent, par exemple, de façon connue en soi, une carte électronique 13b permettant de faire varier la vitesse de rotation du moteur et un interrupteur 13a de marche/arrêt. Dans l'exemple représenté, la carte électronique et l'interrupteur de marche/arrêt sont assemblés sur le capot 4 dans des logements 45 associés. De même, une commande 15 de rembobinage du câble d'alimentation électrique sur l'enrouleur 12 est également montée sur un support 46 du capot 4.The control means 13a, 13b comprise, for example, in a manner known per se, an electronic card 13b for varying the speed of rotation of the motor and a switch 13a on / off. In the example shown, the electronic card and the on / off switch are assembled on the cover 4 in associated housings 45. Similarly, a rewinding command of the power supply cable on the reel 12 is also mounted on a support 46 of the cover 4.

Le support 3 du premier sous-ensemble 1 comprend également des roues 35 permettant le déplacement de l'aspirateur sur le sol.The support 3 of the first subassembly 1 also includes wheels 35 for moving the vacuum cleaner on the ground.

Le deuxième sous-ensemble 2 comprend la deuxième portion de l'enveloppe extérieure du bâti de l'aspirateur. Cette portion représente la majeure partie visible de l'aspirateur lorsque celui-ci repose sur le sol.The second subassembly 2 comprises the second portion of the outer casing of the frame of the vacuum cleaner. This portion represents most of the visible vacuum when it rests on the ground.

Le deuxième sous-ensemble comprend essentiellement deux compartiments A, B. Le premier compartiment A, dit compartiment avant, est destiné à loger un dispositif de filtration (non représenté) et le deuxième compartiment B, dit compartiment arrière, est destiné à l'assemblage du premier sous-ensemble 1.The second subassembly essentially comprises two compartments A, B. The first compartment A, said front compartment, is intended to house a filtration device (not shown) and the second compartment B, said rear compartment, is intended for assembly. of the first subset 1.

Selon la variante représentée, le dispositif de filtration utilisé dans l'aspirateur est un sac. D'autres dispositifs de filtration pourraient être envisagés comme une séparation cyclonique.According to the variant shown, the filtration device used in the vacuum cleaner is a bag. Other filtration devices could be considered as a cyclonic separation.

L'accès au compartiment avant A s'effectue par une ouverture fermée par un couvercle 21. Le couvercle 21 comprend un orifice 22 permettant la connexion d'une extrémité d'un tube d'aspiration (non représenté) dont l'autre extrémité comprend un suceur (non représenté).Access to the front compartment A is effected by an opening closed by a cover 21. The cover 21 comprises an orifice 22 allowing the connection of one end of a suction tube (not shown) whose other end comprises a nozzle (not shown).

Le couvercle 21 est monté pivotant sur le deuxième sous-ensemble 2 par l'intermédiaire de charnières 24. De même, le couvercle 21 est maintenu en position de fermeture sur le deuxième sous-ensemble par un dispositif de verrouillage 23, 52 de type loquet.The cover 21 is pivotally mounted on the second subassembly 2 by means of hinges 24. Similarly, the cover 21 is held in the closed position on the second subassembly by a locking device 23, 52 of the latch type .

Le compartiment avant A est séparé du compartiment arrière B par une paroi 25 comprenant un orifice 26. Cet orifice 26 constitue la bouche d'aspiration du moteur 10 placé dans le deuxième compartiment B. Un élément filtrant (non représenté) peut être placé dans le premier compartiment en amont de l'orifice 26 pour capter les particules de poussières qui n'auraient pas été retenues dans le sac placé dans le premier compartiment A. L'élément filtrant est par exemple placé dans un support 27 fixé sur la paroi 25 de séparation. Le fond du compartiment avant A comprend une roulette 29 montée sur un support libre en rotation axiale. Cette roulette 29 permet à l'utilisateur de manoeuvrer l'aspirateur sur le sol. La face avant du premier compartiment A comprend, par exemple, sensiblement au niveau du dispositif de verrouillage du couvercle 21 une poignée de préhension 51.The front compartment A is separated from the rear compartment B by a wall 25 comprising an orifice 26. This orifice 26 constitutes the suction mouth of the engine 10 placed in the second compartment B. A filter element (not shown) can be placed in the first compartment upstream of the orifice 26 to capture the dust particles that would not have been retained in the bag placed in the first compartment A. The filter element is for example placed in a support 27 fixed on the wall 25 of separation. The bottom of the front compartment A comprises a wheel 29 mounted on a free support in axial rotation. This wheel 29 allows the user to operate the vacuum on the floor. The front face of the first compartment A comprises, for example, substantially at the level of the locking device of the cover 21 a handle 51.

La paroi supérieure 60 du compartiment B arrière comprend les boutons 61 a, 61b, 61c de commande de l'aspirateur. A titre d'exemple, l'aspirateur comprend :

  • un bouton de marche/arrêt 61a, associé à l'interrupteur 13a de marche/arrêt, monté sur le premier sous-ensemble 1,
  • un bouton de réglage 61b de la puissance d'aspiration associé à la carte électronique 13b de variation de la vitesse du moteur 10 ;
  • un bouton de rembobinage 61 c du câble d'alimentation électrique associé à la commande 15 correspondante de l'enrouleur 12.
The top wall 60 of the rear compartment B includes the buttons 61a, 61b, 61c control of the vacuum cleaner. For example, the vacuum cleaner comprises:
  • an on / off button 61a, associated with the on / off switch 13a, mounted on the first subassembly 1,
  • a control button 61b of the suction power associated with the electronic card 13b for varying the speed of the motor 10;
  • a rewind button 61c of the power supply cable associated with the corresponding control of the reel 12.

La paroi supérieure 60 comprend également un orifice de sortie d'air 62.The top wall 60 also includes an air outlet port 62.

L'assemblage de l'aspirateur selon l'invention se décompose comme suit. Le premier et le deuxième sous-ensembles 1, 2 sont assemblés séparément.The assembly of the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is broken down as follows. The first and the second subassemblies 1, 2 are assembled separately.

Ainsi, le moteur 10, le ventilateur 11, l'enrouleur 12 sont montés sur le support 3. Le capot 4 vient ensuite couvrir ces éléments 10, 11, 12. Les moyens de commande 13a, 13b du moteur 10 ainsi que la commande 15 de rembobinage de l'enrouleur sont assemblés sur le capot. Le filtre 44 est déposé dans le capot 4. Ainsi, il apparaît que l'assemblage du premier sous-ensemble est très simple puisque le support 3 est sensiblement plat et que par conséquent l'accès aux différents composants du bloc technique est facilité.Thus, the motor 10, the fan 11, the winder 12 are mounted on the support 3. The cover 4 then covers these elements 10, 11, 12. The control means 13a, 13b of the motor 10 and the control 15 rewinding reel are assembled on the hood. The filter 44 is deposited in the cover 4. Thus, it appears that the assembly of the first subassembly is very simple since the support 3 is substantially flat and therefore access to the various components of the technical block is facilitated.

Le deuxième sous-ensemble est assemblé séparément. Le support de filtre 27 et la roulette 29 sont montés sur le compartiment avant A. Le couvercle 21 vient ensuite fermer le premier compartiment A. Le compartiment arrière B est ensuite équipé des boutons de commande 61 a, 61 b, 61 c.The second subassembly is assembled separately. The filter support 27 and the wheel 29 are mounted on the front compartment A. The cover 21 then closes the first compartment A. The rear compartment B is then equipped with the control buttons 61a, 61b, 61c.

Le premier sous-ensemble 1 est alors inséré dans le compartiment arrière B du deuxième sous-ensemble 2 par le dessous. Le montage du premier sous-ensemble 1 est réalisé notamment par des vis 7 solidarisant le support 3 au fond 28 du compartiment avant A du deuxième sous-ensemble 2. Un emboîtement 71 peut également être prévu entre le rebord du support 3 et le rebord du compartiment arrière B.The first subassembly 1 is then inserted into the rear compartment B of the second subassembly 2 from below. The first subassembly 1 is assembled in particular by screws 7 solidifying the support 3 at the bottom 28 of the front compartment A of the second subassembly 2. An engagement 71 may also be provided between the rim of the support 3 and the rim of the rear compartment B.

Une fois assemblé, le support 3 du premier sous-ensemble 1 vient fermer l'ouverture du compartiment arrière B du deuxième sous-ensemble 2 et former, avec le fond 28 du compartiment avant A, la surface inférieure de l'aspirateur. Ainsi, il apparaît que l'assemblage final de l'aspirateur est d'une grande simplicité. De plus, la zone d'assemblage entre les deux sous-ensembles est située en grande partie sous l'aspirateur ce qui améliore également l'aspect visuel de l'aspirateur.Once assembled, the support 3 of the first subassembly 1 closes the opening of the rear compartment B of the second subassembly 2 and form, with the bottom 28 of the front compartment A, the lower surface of the vacuum cleaner. Thus, it appears that the final assembly of the vacuum cleaner is very simple. In addition, the assembly area between the two subassemblies is located largely under the vacuum which also improves the visual appearance of the vacuum cleaner.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de mise en oeuvre proposé et aux perfectionnements cités, mais englobe également tous les équivalents techniques des solutions envisagées.The present invention is not limited to the example of implementation proposed and the improvements mentioned, but also encompasses all the technical equivalents of the solutions envisaged.
