Definitions
- the invention relates to a floor care appliance, in particular domestic vacuum cleaner, with a base body which has at least one space for at least one removable, mobile or detachable functional element such as Staubabscheideiki, filter device and / or accessory; with at least one housing part, which at least partially closes the at least one space in the base body, wherein the housing part is arranged articulated on the base body; an opening means which releases the at least one housing part from a closed position; and at least one force-generating element which moves the housing part from the closed position to the open position via an opening path, wherein the force-generating element (s) is / are arranged outside the hinge.
- lid for hinged in particular on the main body arranged lid with known opening means in an opening operation of the lid only so far raised that the lid is released to a subsequent manual operation opening operation.
- opening means in an opening operation of the lid only so far raised that the lid is released to a subsequent manual operation opening operation.
- Such an arrangement is for example in the GB 782 805 A disclosed.
- a disadvantage of such an arrangement is that in such only by the opening means slightly raised and opened lid of the User can not be reliably detected whether the lid is already open or still closed. This has the consequence that partially sucked with the lid open and an unsatisfactory suction is performed due to false air.
- the lid may fall unrestrained into the opening means and hit the base body. This has on the one hand in addition to the possibility of injury further to the detriment that loud falling and closing noises occur.
- the invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved ground care device of the type described in more detail.
- storage of the housing part and force-generating element are to be mounted independently of each other, opening and closing noises reduced and / or injuries and incorrect operation can be largely avoided.
- the floor care appliance according to the invention builds on generic floor care appliances by virtue of the fact that the force-generating element (s) is / are arranged outside the joint. Such an arrangement of the force-generating element has the
- joint and force-generating element are separated.
- the two functions can advantageously be mounted independently of one another and, if necessary, subsequently adapted or newly adapted to one another such that the force-generating element generates such a large force that the hinged housing part is reliably moved into an open position at least from the closed position.
- At least one force-generating element is arranged laterally on the housing part and / or base body. Having the force-generating element outboard of the joint laterally allows the space thus provided to be available in the center of the floor care device for other functional elements, such as the dust bin, and the force-generating element can be integrated into otherwise unused space.
- the force-generating element can be arranged adjacent to the opening means on the housing part and / or base body.
- Such arrangements prove to be advantageous, since at least one force-generating element can be used here, especially with back hinged lids due to a long lever arm to the joint with low forces and thus also with small dimensions.
- the transmission is a one-sided or two-sided mounted lever element.
- One-sided or two-sided mounted lever elements are characterized by a simple design for the storage and the connection of the force-generating element. Next is made possible by a change in position of bearing and / or force introduction a simple structural adaptation to given space conditions.
- a flat configuration of the lever element is a simple integration of the lever in the surface of the body allows avoiding interfering edges or steps.
- the lever element can be arranged above a fastening screw and thereby at the same time fulfills a covering function.
- At least one force-generating element exerts a force on the housing part over the entire opening path from the closed position into the open position.
- Such an embodiment has the advantage that the force-generating element moves the housing part entirely into the end position and no additional manual movement is necessary.
- the housing part can lock in the end position in a latch, or rest only on a stop.
- At least one force-generating element preferably exerts a force on the housing part, in particular a housing cover, only along a part or section of the opening path from the closed position to an open position.
- the opening movement esp. Of a housing cover with a suction, is advantageously only chosen so large that due to the relative movement between the housing cover and dust bag no unwanted suction effect between the suction and the dust bag is formed. This prevents that already sucked dust can escape due to a suction effect. Further, this avoids that the bag flange is pulled out at a rapid opening movement through the suction nozzle from the holder.
- the open position of such housing cover can on the one hand be chosen so small that the suction nozzle still remains in contact with the dust bag.
- the open position is chosen so far that it is reliably recognized by the user that the housing part is already open. Furthermore, it can advantageously be achieved that a continuously closed design surface is designed by the opening means over the housing part, without an intervention recess being made in the opening means for the fingers of the hand.
- the housing part is already raised by the force-generating element so far that such a large distance between the housing part and the base body has been generated, that the housing part itself can be attacked by the user's hand and raised further.
- the force-generating element is a pressure, tension and / or leg spring.
- These spring elements are inexpensive and in different Geometries produced, as well as easy to handle in the assembly. Next, the geometric shape and / or the desired force can be easily selected on different sized areas.
- Gas springs can generate much larger forces, so that a lid opening with attached suction hose is possible.
- gas springs can generate much larger forces, so that a lid opening with attached suction hose is possible.
- gas springs can be dispensed with gas springs advantageously on a separate end stop, as this stop is already included constructively in the gas spring.
- the at least one force-generating element is preferably designed such that it ensures a uniform velocity course at least along a portion of the opening path between the closed position and the open position.
- in conjunction with gas springs is also advantageous that over the entire stroke a comparatively constant force is exerted.
- a uniform opening movement is achieved and achieved a uniform opening noise.
- additional connected lines to the moving housing part such. As an electrical cable for a motor-driven nozzle or a pressure query on the suction, the mechanical stresses on these compounds are kept low.
- the housing part is preferably a closure element such as a cover, a flap or a pivoting part.
- a closure element such as a cover, a flap or a pivoting part.
- the present invention facilitates the construction of housing parts on a base body of a vacuum cleaner with simple constructive and cost-effective means and allows different opening movements as well as advantageously avoids unnecessary noise and dust emission in an opening or closing operation.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bodenpflegegerät, insbesondere Haushaltstaubsauger, mit einem Grundkörper, welcher wenigstens einen Raum für zumindest ein entnehmbares, mobiles oder lösbares Funktionselement wie Staubabscheideeinheit, Filtereinrichtung und/oder Zubehörteil aufweist; mit wenigstens einem Gehäuseteil, welches den wenigstens einen Raum im Grundkörper zumindest teilweise abschließt, wobei das Gehäuseteil am Grundkörper angelenkt angeordnet ist; einem Öffnungsmittel, welches das wenigstens eine Gehäuseteil aus einer Schließstellung freigibt; und wenigstens einem krafterzeugenden Element, welches das Gehäuseteil aus der Schließstellung über einen Öffnungsweg in eine Offenstellung bewegt, wobei das / die krafterzeugende(n) Element(e) außerhalb des Gelenks angeordnet ist / sind.The invention relates to a floor care appliance, in particular domestic vacuum cleaner, with a base body which has at least one space for at least one removable, mobile or detachable functional element such as Staubabscheideeinheit, filter device and / or accessory; with at least one housing part, which at least partially closes the at least one space in the base body, wherein the housing part is arranged articulated on the base body; an opening means which releases the at least one housing part from a closed position; and at least one force-generating element which moves the housing part from the closed position to the open position via an opening path, wherein the force-generating element (s) is / are arranged outside the hinge.
Es sind auf dem Markt befindliche Bodenpflegegeräte bekannt, welche unter einem antriebslosen Deckel, einer Klappe oder einer Jalousie eine Staubabscheideeinheit, Filtereinrichtungen oder unterschiedliches Kleinzubehör bevorraten. Diese Deckel lassen sich gewöhnlich über ein Öffnungsmittel entsperren und anschließend von Hand öffnen und in eine Endstellung bringen, wobei der Deckel an einen Anschlag gelangt und/oder in der Endstellung verrastet. Nachteilig an einer solchen Anordnung ist, dass bei geöffnetem Deckel und ruckartigen Bewegungen an dem Bodenpflegegerät der Deckel unerwünscht aus seinem Anschlag oder der Verrastung an der Endstellung gelöst werden und durch die Schwerkraft auf den Grundkörper zurück fallen kann. Dabei sind mitunter Verletzungen an den Händen nicht auszuschließen.There are known on-the-market floor care equipment, which store a Staubabscheideeinheit, filter devices or different Kleinzubehör under a non-powered lid, a flap or a blind. These covers can usually be unlocked via an opening means and then opened by hand and bring into an end position, the lid arrives at a stop and / or locked in the end position. A disadvantage of such an arrangement is that with the lid open and jerky movements on the floor care device, the lid can be solved undesirable from its stop or the latching at the end position and can fall back to the main body by gravity. Sometimes injuries to the hands can not be ruled out.
Weitere wird für insbesondere am Grundkörper angelenkt angeordnete Deckel mit bekannten Öffnungsmitteln bei einem Öffnungsvorgang der Deckel lediglich so weit angehoben, dass der Deckel zu einem anschließend händisch fortzusetzenden Öffnungsvorgang freigegeben wird. Eine derartige Anordnung wird beispielsweise in der
Weiter kann bei dem Schließvorgang der Deckel ungebremst in das Öffnungsmittel fallen und auf dem Grundkörper aufschlagen. Dies hat einerseits neben der Möglichkeit der Verletzungen weiter zum Nachteil, dass laute Fall- und Schließgeräusche auftreten.Further, in the closing operation, the lid may fall unrestrained into the opening means and hit the base body. This has on the one hand in addition to the possibility of injury further to the detriment that loud falling and closing noises occur.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessertes Bodenpflegegerät der eingangs näher beschriebenen Art bereitzustellen. Insbesondere sollen Lagerung des Gehäuseteils und krafterzeugendes Element unabhängig voneinander montierbar, Offnungs- und Schließgeräusche reduziert und/oder Verletzungen und Fehlbedienungen weitgehend vermieden werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved ground care device of the type described in more detail. In particular, storage of the housing part and force-generating element are to be mounted independently of each other, opening and closing noises reduced and / or injuries and incorrect operation can be largely avoided.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt durch ein Bodenpfleggerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The solution of the object is achieved by a floor care device having the features of
Das erfindungsgemäße Bodenpflegegerät baut auf gattungsgemäße Bodenpflegegeräte dadurch auf, dass das/die krafterzeugende/n Element/e außerhalb des Gelenks angeordnet ist/sind. Eine solche Anordnung des krafterzeugenden Elements besitzt denThe floor care appliance according to the invention builds on generic floor care appliances by virtue of the fact that the force-generating element (s) is / are arranged outside the joint. Such an arrangement of the force-generating element has the
Vorteil, dass die Funktionen von Gelenk und krafterzeugendem Element getrennt sind. Die beiden Funktionen können vorteilhaft unabhängig voneinander montiert und ggf. auch nachträglich abgepasst bzw. neu dergestalt aufeinander abgestimmt werden, dass das krafterzeugende Element eine solch große Kraft erzeugt, dass das angelenkte Gehäuseteil sicher zumindest aus der Schließstellung in eine Offenstellung bewegt wird.Advantage that the functions of joint and force-generating element are separated. The two functions can advantageously be mounted independently of one another and, if necessary, subsequently adapted or newly adapted to one another such that the force-generating element generates such a large force that the hinged housing part is reliably moved into an open position at least from the closed position.
Durch das Getriebe können zudem unterschiedliche konstruktive Möglichkeiten zum Anheben des Deckels umgesetzt werden.Through the transmission also different design options for lifting the lid can be implemented.
Vorzugsweise ist wenigstens ein krafterzeugendes Element seitlich am Gehäuseteil und/oder Grundkörper angeordnet. Mit einer seitlichen Anordnung des krafterzeugenden Elements außerhalb des Gelenks wird ermöglicht, dass der dadurch zur Verfügung gestellte Raum in der Mitte des Bodenpflegegeräts für andere Funktionselemente wie etwa dem Staubbehälter zur Verfügung steht und das krafterzeugende Element in anderweitig unbenutzten Raum integriert werden kann.Preferably, at least one force-generating element is arranged laterally on the housing part and / or base body. Having the force-generating element outboard of the joint laterally allows the space thus provided to be available in the center of the floor care device for other functional elements, such as the dust bin, and the force-generating element can be integrated into otherwise unused space.
Je nach Größe und Ausgestaltung kann das krafterzeugende Element benachbart dem Öffnungsmittel am Gehäuseteil und/oder Grundkörper angeordnet sein. Derartige Anordnungen erweisen sich von Vorteil, da hier vor allem bei rückseitig angelenkten Deckeln wenigstens ein krafterzeugendes Element aufgrund eines langen Hebelarms zum Gelenk mit geringen Kräften und damit auch mit kleinen Abmessungen eingesetzt werden kann.Depending on the size and configuration, the force-generating element can be arranged adjacent to the opening means on the housing part and / or base body. Such arrangements prove to be advantageous, since at least one force-generating element can be used here, especially with back hinged lids due to a long lever arm to the joint with low forces and thus also with small dimensions.
Ebenso kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass das Getriebe ein einseitig oder zweiseitig gelagertes Hebelelement ist. Einseitig oder zweiseitig gelagerte Hebelelemente zeichnen sich durch einfache Ausgestaltung für die Lagerung und die Anbindung von dem krafterzeugenden Element aus. Weiter ist durch eine Lageänderung von Lagerstelle und/oder Krafteinleitung eine einfache konstruktive Anpassung an gegebene Raumverhältnisse ermöglicht. Mit einer flächigen Ausgestaltung des Hebelelements ist eine einfache Integration des Hebels in die Oberfläche des Grundkörpers ermöglicht, wobei störende Kanten oder Stufen vermieden werden. Weiter kann das Hebelelement über einer Befestigungsschraube angeordnet sein und erfüllt dadurch zugleich eine Abdeckfunktion.It may also be advantageous that the transmission is a one-sided or two-sided mounted lever element. One-sided or two-sided mounted lever elements are characterized by a simple design for the storage and the connection of the force-generating element. Next is made possible by a change in position of bearing and / or force introduction a simple structural adaptation to given space conditions. With a flat configuration of the lever element is a simple integration of the lever in the surface of the body allows avoiding interfering edges or steps. Furthermore, the lever element can be arranged above a fastening screw and thereby at the same time fulfills a covering function.
Zweckmäßigerweise übt wenigstens ein krafterzeugendes Element über den ganzen Öffnungsweg aus der Schließstellung in die Offenstellung eine Kraft auf das Gehäuseteil aus. Eine solche Ausführung hat den Vorteil, dass das krafterzeugende Element das Gehäuseteil gänzlich in die Endstellung bewegt und keine händische Zusatzbewegung nötig ist. Das Gehäuseteil kann in der Endstellung in einer Verrastung arretieren, oder lediglich an einen Anschlag anliegen.Expediently, at least one force-generating element exerts a force on the housing part over the entire opening path from the closed position into the open position. Such an embodiment has the advantage that the force-generating element moves the housing part entirely into the end position and no additional manual movement is necessary. The housing part can lock in the end position in a latch, or rest only on a stop.
Zur Erzielung unterschiedlicher Öffnungsvarianten/Öffnungseffekte übt bevorzugt wenigstens ein krafterzeugendes Element lediglich entlang eines Teils oder Abschnitts des Öffnungsweges aus der Schließstellung in eine Offenstellung eine Kraft auf das Gehäuseteil, insbesondere einen Gehäusedeckel, aus. Die Öffnungsbewegung, insb. eines Gehäusedeckels mit einem Saugstutzen, ist vorteilhaft lediglich so groß gewählt, dass infolge der Relativbewegung zwischen Gehäusedeckel und Staubbeutel keine unerwünschte Sogwirkung zwischen dem Saugstutzen und dem Staubbeutel entsteht. Dadurch wird vermieden, dass bereits eingesaugter Staub infolge einer Sogwirkung nach außen gelangen kann. Weiter wird dadurch vermieden, dass der Beutelflansch bei einer schnellen Öffnungsbewegung durch den Saugstutzen aus der Halterung mit herausgezogen wird. Die Offenstellung solcher Gehäusedeckel kann einerseits so gering gewählt werden, dass der Saugstutzen noch mit dem Staubbeutel in Berührung bleibt. Andererseits ist die Offenstellung so weit gewählt, dass von dem Benutzer sicher erkannt wird, dass das Gehäuseteil bereits geöffnet ist. Weiter kann dadurch vorteilhaft erreicht werden, dass eine durchgehend geschlossene Designfläche von dem Öffnungsmittel über das Gehäuseteil hinweg gestaltet wird, ohne dass in dem Öffnungsmittel eine Eingriffmulde für die Finger der Hand eingebracht ist. Das Gehäuseteil ist durch das krafterzeugende Element bereits soweit angehoben, dass ein so großer Abstand zwischen Gehäuseteil und Grundkörper erzeugt worden ist, dass das Gehäuseteil selbst von der Hand des Benutzers untergriffen und weiter angehoben werden kann.To achieve different opening variants / opening effects, at least one force-generating element preferably exerts a force on the housing part, in particular a housing cover, only along a part or section of the opening path from the closed position to an open position. The opening movement, esp. Of a housing cover with a suction, is advantageously only chosen so large that due to the relative movement between the housing cover and dust bag no unwanted suction effect between the suction and the dust bag is formed. This prevents that already sucked dust can escape due to a suction effect. Further, this avoids that the bag flange is pulled out at a rapid opening movement through the suction nozzle from the holder. The open position of such housing cover can on the one hand be chosen so small that the suction nozzle still remains in contact with the dust bag. On the other hand, the open position is chosen so far that it is reliably recognized by the user that the housing part is already open. Furthermore, it can advantageously be achieved that a continuously closed design surface is designed by the opening means over the housing part, without an intervention recess being made in the opening means for the fingers of the hand. The housing part is already raised by the force-generating element so far that such a large distance between the housing part and the base body has been generated, that the housing part itself can be attacked by the user's hand and raised further.
Je nach Größe und Ausgestaltung ist das krafterzeugende Element eine Druck-, Zug- und/oder Schenkelfeder. Diese Federelemente sind preisgünstig und in unterschiedlichen Geometrien herstellbar, wie auch einfach in der Montage zu handhaben. Weiter kann die geometrische Form und/oder die gewünschte Kraft einfach auf unterschiedlich große Bereiche gewählt werden.Depending on the size and design of the force-generating element is a pressure, tension and / or leg spring. These spring elements are inexpensive and in different Geometries produced, as well as easy to handle in the assembly. Next, the geometric shape and / or the desired force can be easily selected on different sized areas.
Die Erfindung weiterbildend ist bevorzugt vorgesehen wenigstens ein krafterzeugendes Element als eine Gasdruckfeder vorzusehen. Gasdruckfedern können wesentlich größere Kräfte erzeugen, sodass auch eine Deckelöffnung mit angeschlossenem Saugschlauch möglich ist. Weiter kann mit Gasdruckfedern vorteilhafter weise auf einen separaten Endanschlag verzichtet werden, da dieser Anschlag bereits konstruktiv in der Gasdruckfeder enthalten ist.Further development of the invention is preferably provided to provide at least one force-generating element as a gas spring. Gas springs can generate much larger forces, so that a lid opening with attached suction hose is possible. Next can be dispensed with gas springs advantageously on a separate end stop, as this stop is already included constructively in the gas spring.
Das wenigstens eine krafterzeugende Element wird vorzugsweise derart ausgeführt, dass es für einen gleichmäßigen Geschwindigkeitsverlauf zumindest entlang eines Abschnitts des Öffnungsweges zwischen der Schließstellung in die Offenstellung sorgt. Insbesondere in Verbindung mit Gasdruckfedern ist weiter von Vorteil, dass über den gesamten Hub eine vergleichsmäßig konstante Kraft ausgeübt wird. Dadurch wird eine gleichmäßige Öffnungsbewegung erzielt und ein gleichmäßiges Öffnungsgeräusch erzielt. In alternativen Ausführungen mit zusätzlichen verbundenen Leitungen an dem bewegten Gehäuseteil, wie z. B. einem elektrischen Kabel für eine motorisch angetrieben Düse oder eine Druckabfrage am Saugstutzen werden die mechanischen Belastungen auf diese Verbindungen gering gehalten.The at least one force-generating element is preferably designed such that it ensures a uniform velocity course at least along a portion of the opening path between the closed position and the open position. In particular, in conjunction with gas springs is also advantageous that over the entire stroke a comparatively constant force is exerted. As a result, a uniform opening movement is achieved and achieved a uniform opening noise. In alternative embodiments with additional connected lines to the moving housing part, such. As an electrical cable for a motor-driven nozzle or a pressure query on the suction, the mechanical stresses on these compounds are kept low.
Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt ist das Gehäuseteil ein Verschlusselement wie Deckel, eine Klappe oder ein Schwenkteil. Diese Gehäuseteile eignen sich vorteilhaft um die Handhabung von mobilen Funktionselementen in dem Bodenpflegegerät zu erleichtern.According to the invention, the housing part is preferably a closure element such as a cover, a flap or a pivoting part. These housing parts are advantageously suitable for facilitating the handling of mobile functional elements in the floor care appliance.
Die vorliegende Erfindung erleichtert mit einfachen konstruktiven und kostengünstigen Mitteln die Montage von Gehäuseteilen an einem Grundkörper eines Staubsaugers und ermöglicht unterschiedliche Öffnungsbewegungen ebenso wie sie vorteilhaft unnötige Geräuschentwicklungen und Staubemission bei einem Öffnungs- oder Schließvorgang vermeidet. Weiter werden Fehlbedienungen und Verletzungen vermieden.The present invention facilitates the construction of housing parts on a base body of a vacuum cleaner with simple constructive and cost-effective means and allows different opening movements as well as advantageously avoids unnecessary noise and dust emission in an opening or closing operation. Furthermore, incorrect operation and injuries are avoided.
