Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, in particular in one embodiment as a vacuum cleaner, with a housing with design and / or functional surfaces.
  • Vacuum cleaners are known per se. Furthermore, it is known that a housing of such vacuum cleaner comprises design or functional surfaces. Usually, these surfaces are designed, for. B. dyed. As known designs are a painting of surfaces, a use of colored granules in the production of plastic housing parts and the like into consideration.
  • a disadvantage of especially painted surfaces is their relatively high sensitivity to external influences. Furthermore, achieving a combination of several perceived by the user as improvement properties, namely z. B. better damping, attractive appearance, pleasant feel and reduction of static friction, not possible by the known methods for designing the design or functional surfaces, and it is always a compromise to find in an improvement of each of the aforementioned properties.
  • An object of the invention is accordingly to a vacuum cleaner o. G.
  • a vacuum cleaner o. G To develop such a way that designed design or functional surfaces to improve the look and feel and then to reduce sensitivity to external influences, eg. As scratch sensitivity, also lead to improved damping properties.
  • Particularly preferred is accompanied by the inventive design of the respective housing surfaces, so the design or functional surfaces, an improvement of the cleaning properties.
  • a vacuum cleaner with the features of claim 1.
  • a vacuum cleaner with a housing with design and / or functional surfaces that individual design or functional surfaces are flocked at least in sections.
  • the advantage of the invention is an improved visual and haptic appearance of the vacuum cleaner. This is accompanied by a high abrasion resistance of the flock (the flock), the z. B. disturbing scratches and the like on the vacuum cleaner housing prevented.
  • the flocking good damping properties, so that z. B. in the case of abutment of the vacuum cleaner housing to a door frame or the like, the shock is mitigated by the damping effect of the flock, while at the same time the vacuum cleaner due to the sliding properties of the flock easily slides past the obstacle.
  • the flock attenuates vibration or resonance noise. This causes due to vibrations in the device, eg. B. by the vacuum cleaner fan, resulting noise can be reduced.
  • the flocking reduces noise during contact of the vacuum cleaner with other objects, such. B. furniture.
  • This acoustically damping effect arises from the effect that the flock initially flattened on contact and thus acts as a shock absorber and reduces or at least reduces propagation of the sound.
  • a functioning as a functional surface side bumper is flocked.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that contact with any obstacles when using the vacuum cleaner usually first occurs in the region of the shock tape, so that flocking the bumper causes a reduced static friction in contact with such obstacles and easier passing on such obstacles and also Damage to the vacuum cleaner and the respective obstacle is avoided.
  • the bumper strip can be dispensed with as a separate component and, instead, a flocking running around the housing laterally acts as a bumper strip.
  • a flocking which acts as a bumper, comes in a particular case, a more intense flocking into consideration, ie z.
  • a denser flocking or with an increased fiber length and / or fiber thickness As a denser flocking or with an increased fiber length and / or fiber thickness.
  • the vacuum cleaner according to the invention comes as a flocking area a functional area for vacuum cleaner accessories into consideration.
  • the advantage is the associated protection of high-quality accessories.
  • the sliding properties of the flock also facilitate the removal and insertion of such parts.
  • there is a noise reduction in the operation of the vacuum cleaner because the a previously unavoidable noise in a movement of the accessories in their respective subjects (rattling) can be avoided.
  • the usually three-dimensionally designed functional surface for the vacuum cleaner accessories acts with its flocked surface like a sound absorber, and the structured surface may cause sound waves to break several times in space and reach the flocked surfaces several times, so that an increased damping effect occurs.
  • the selection of the flock material basically depends on the field of application.
  • a polyamide fiber PA is favorable, because it is very hard-wearing.
  • the fiber length of the flock essentially affects the sliding property and the haptic property of the flocked surface. With increasing length of the fibers, the sliding property decreases. The haptic properties are improved. A larger thickness makes the fibers more durable, but the feel decreases with increasing thickness, since the surface is sometimes perceived as relatively rough.
  • a housing base or a housing bottom and / or portion of the outer surface, which act as controls, are recessed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a vacuum cleaner 10 in one embodiment as a vacuum cleaner.
  • the vacuum cleaner 10 has, as usual, a housing 12 and this includes design and functional surfaces, namely at least the outside or surface of a housing base 14, the outer surface of a mounted on the housing base 14 cover frame 16 and then the outer surface of a hinged lid 18 above the cover frame 16, which covers a dust chamber, not shown, in which, during operation of the vacuum cleaner 10, a likewise not shown dust bag is mounted in a conventional manner.
  • Cover frame 16 and lower housing part 14 form a handle 20 in the illustrated embodiment, wherein it is readily conceivable that the handle 20 is formed exclusively by the lower housing part 14 or exclusively by the cover 16.
  • On a side opposite the handle 20 of the vacuum cleaner 10 are controls 22, 24, 26.
  • a first control element 22 acts eg to cover an electrical switching element for switching on and off of the vacuum cleaner 10.
  • a second control element 24 acts, for example, to cover a triggering device for a mechanism for winding the power cord (not shown) of the vacuum cleaner 10 on a likewise not shown and arranged in the housing 12 of the vacuum cleaner 10 cable drum.
  • a third operating element 26 functions, for example, to preselect an electrical power consumption.
  • housing base 14, cover frame 16, cover 18 and control elements 22, 24, 26 form an outer surface of the housing 12.
  • Such outer portions of the housing 12 are commonly referred to as design surfaces, wherein for the surfaces of the controls 22- 26 if appropriate, the designation as a functional surface is also considered.
  • vacuum cleaner 10 are flocked individual design or functional surfaces at least in sections. This is shown for a flocking of the cover frame 16 and further for a flocking of the lid 18.
  • the lower housing part 14 is shown as not flocked. Furthermore, the controls 22-26 are shown as not flocked. For these components, a complete or partial flocking can be provided.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of a vacuum cleaner 10 of in Fig. 1 Shown is that in a top portion of the vacuum cleaner housing 12, a compartment 28 is formed for vacuum cleaner accessories. This compartment 28 is closed by a pivotable flap 30. An outside of the flap 30 comes as a design surface for flocking or at least partially flocking into consideration (not shown). Is shown in Fig. 2 However, that the tray 28 is lined as a functional surface for vacuum cleaner accessories with a flock. The compartment 28 is configured as an accessory bed for the substantially positive reception of vacuum cleaner accessories. The resulting three-dimensional surface may be completely or partially flocked.
  • this will usually include at least those sections of the accessory bed, which come with a used or inserted vacuum cleaner accessories with this in contact, so on the one hand, the high-quality accessories is spared and on the other hand, otherwise possibly be attended to disturbing noises.
  • Fig. 3 shows in a cross-section an enlarged view of a part of a vacuum cleaner 10, which in the in Fig. 1 can be combined, namely a bumper 32.
  • the bumper 32 is applied to a seal 34, which in the in Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment is H-shaped and in their recesses formed edges, such as a housing base 14 and cover 16 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) intervene.
  • the bumper strip 32 is shown with a flock applied to its outer surface, which can be seen as an additional layer 36 (flock layer) on the surface of the bumper strip 32.
  • a flocked bumper 32 as in Fig. 3 illustrated, allows the avoidance of damage to the vacuum cleaner 10, but especially the avoidance of damage to furniture, door frames and other obstacles with which the vacuum cleaner 10 may come into contact during use, namely specifically those damage that previously possibly as abrasion have resulted from a formed of plastic or a rubber-like material impact tape 32.
  • Such abrasion causes disturbing, dark stripes on furniture and other objects.
  • the flocking of the impact strip 32 allows a virtually noiseless and low-friction slipping past such objects.
  • a flocking of functional surfaces such as the in Fig. 2 shown accessory bed, also allow a noise reduction or avoidance and in the case of the accessory bed specifically also a protection of there storable objects.
  • vacuum cleaner 10 For all design or functional surfaces either a complete or partial flocking comes into consideration, there are additional possibilities in the attractive design of the vacuum cleaner 10, for example by using different flocks, different colored flocks, by the inclusion of individual design or functional surfaces in the Flocking or by the partial or complete recess of such design or functional surfaces.
  • certain housing parts are generally recessed, namely, for example, the housing lower part 14 or, in the case of a single-shell housing 12, its underside.
  • a vacuum cleaner 10 with a housing 12 with design or functional surfaces is specified, which is characterized in that individual design or functional surfaces are flocked at least in sections, so that an equally resistant how visually and haptically pleasing surface results, which is also effective for noise reduction.
