Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motor assembly for an electric motor driven household appliance, in particular for a vacuum cleaner.
  • Vacuum cleaners typically have an electric fan motor, which is usually located inside the vacuum cleaner housing and provides the suction power of the vacuum cleaner.
  • an electric fan motor which is usually located inside the vacuum cleaner housing and provides the suction power of the vacuum cleaner.
  • a vacuum cleaner In order to reduce the noise emissions of a vacuum cleaner, various approaches exist. For example, it may be provided to surround the engine with a variety of noise attenuating materials, which absorb the sound waves generated by the engine and thus reduce the noise emissions. Additionally or alternatively, the quietest possible engines are installed in the vacuum cleaner, which should minimize the noise in advance.
  • German patent application DE 41 00 858 A1 describes a vacuum cleaner with a blower unit, which is surrounded by an inner housing capsule, in turn leaving a flow space in an outer housing capsule is installed, between which and the housing of the vacuum cleaner, there is a free space in which vacuum cleaner further generated by the blower unit air flow is guided through the flow space to an opening provided on the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • An improvement of the noise attenuation is achieved in that the flow space is connected directly to the outlet and the outer housing capsule is held supported by means disposed on its outer periphery, noise-damping support means in the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • the present invention has the object to provide an improved engine assembly for a household appliance available.
  • a motor assembly for an electric motor-driven household appliance in particular for a vacuum cleaner, with a housing, with a motor capsule, with a blower motor, which is arranged in the mounted state within the housing and the motor capsule and surrounded by these (preferably completely enclosed) , with a damping element, which is contour bound between the Housing and the blower motor is arranged and which is designed and arranged to dampen vibrations transmitted from the blower motor to the housing.
  • the idea underlying the present invention is to decouple the fan motor from the housing by means of a contour-bound damping element.
  • the damping element is contour-bound to respective contact surfaces of the fan motor and the housing and is intended to absorb the vibration caused by the fan motor and thus dampen.
  • Contour-bound means in this context that the damping element at least partially surrounds the motor housing of the fan motor and largely has the same shape as that part or those outer surfaces of the motor housing of the fan motor on which it rests. In this way, vibrations of the fan motor can be damped, since there are no gaps and slots between the motor housing and the damping element on the one hand and between the damping element and the housing on the other hand, so that the vibrations generated can be absorbed directly by the damping element.
  • the damping element has for this purpose a material which has the best possible damping properties.
  • the fan motor is mounted inside a motorized capsule mounted to the housing.
  • a motor capsule is a component of a motor assembly, which serves for the insulation of the emissions from the fan motor.
  • This motor capsule is preferably also arranged directly on the damping element and attenuates the noise emission of the fan motor in addition.
  • the fan motor has an (a-side) housing cover and the damping element has an inner contour, which the Outer contour of the housing cover corresponds.
  • the damping element surrounds the housing cover of the fan motor to a large extent. In this way, engine vibrations, especially in the axial and in the radial direction, dampen very well.
  • the damping element is arranged or mounted flush with the A-side of the fan motor.
  • the A-side of the blower motor refers to the side on which the drive shaft of the blower motor emerges from the blower motor and which thus designates the drive side. Flushing means, for example, that the damping element is in direct contact with outer surfaces of the fan motor and that there are no other components, elements or a gap between the fan motor and the damping element.
  • the housing has a recess for the fan motor, wherein the damping element is flush in the recess, i. is arranged on inner surfaces of the recess.
  • the damping element is made of an elastic plastic, preferably made of PUR.
  • PUR polyurethanes
  • the material for the damping element other elastic materials can be used which have good damping properties, such as spring-elastic elements, a spring-elastic suspension and the like.
  • the housing has a positioning device, on which the damping element and the motor capsule are positioned relative to the housing.
  • the housing has a plurality of projections, which engage in corresponding recesses in the damping element and in the motor capsule.
  • a fixing device which fix the damping element, the fan motor and / or the motor capsule with respect to the housing.
  • the fixing device has a multiplicity of fixing pins which extend through the housing, through the damping element, through the fan motor and / or through the motor capsule. In this way it can be ensured that the damping element, the motor capsule or the motor are fixed against rotation and vibration safe to the housing.
  • the fixing device braces the motor between the housing and the motor capsule, so that the damping element is biased. Due to this configuration, vibrations of the fan motor can be absorbed particularly well by the damping element.
  • the damping of the damping element is adjustable.
  • the hardness and / or the modulus of elasticity of the damping element can be changed in such a way that they are optimally matched to the dominant vibration frequencies generated by the fan motor.
  • the size and mass of the damping element to the respective boundary conditions, in particular the size and the speed range of the fan motor, can be adjusted. In this way, the engine assembly according to the invention can be applied in different constructions and designs of vacuum cleaners and household appliances.
  • At least one further damping element is provided which is arranged on the side of the fan motor opposite the damping element, for example on the B side of the fan motor, between the fan motor and motor capsule.
  • the B side refers to the side on which the electric motor is typically mounted.
  • the further damping element is formed contour-bound with respect to the contact surfaces of the fan motor and the motor capsule. With this configuration, the vibrations of the fan motor can be absorbed even better.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a motor assembly according to the invention 1.
  • the motor assembly 1 comprises a housing 2, a damping element 3, a fan motor 4 and a motor capsule 5 on.
  • the housing 2 is for example a part of a vacuum cleaner housing, not shown here.
  • the housing 2 has a recess 22. In this recess 22, the damping element 3 is arranged contour-bound.
  • An opening 6 of the housing 2 is aligned with an opening 10 of the damping element 3.
  • the fan motor 4 is also arranged contour-bound. Through the openings 6, 10 extends in the mounted state of the motor assembly, the drive shaft of the fan motor.
  • the fan motor 4 is coupled on the A side to the damping element 3.
  • A-side means that the motor with its drive side (at which the drive shaft with the fan extends to the outside) is arranged on the damping element.
  • the fan motor 4 is enclosed by the motor capsule 5.
  • the motor capsule 5 is also, like the fan motor 4, coupled to the damping element 3 directly and contour-bound.
  • a positioning device 7 is provided, with which the damping element 3 is positioned in the housing 2.
  • the positioning means 7 is formed by three projections which extend through recesses 8 in the damping element 3 and through recesses 9 in the motor capsule. Through the recesses 8, 9 also fixing pins 15 may extend, which clamp the fan motor 4 between the housing 2 and the motor capsule 5 and which clamp the damping element 3.
  • the fan motor 4 can be completely isolated from the housing 2 vibration isolation. Thus, no vibrations are transmitted from the fan motor 4 to the housing 2, whereby the noise emission of the household appliance is largely suppressed.
  • the damping element 3 a material is preferably provided which has good damping properties.
  • the damping element 3 is formed of polyurethane.
  • other plastics in particular thermoplastic, are also used and / or thermoset and / or thermoelastic plastics, for the formation of the damping element 3 in question.
  • the fan motor 4 bears contour-bound on the damping element 3.
  • the damping element 3 is applied to the lateral surface 17 of the fan motor 4 with the contact zone 18 at.
  • the blower motor 4 abuts against a neck 20 on the inner side 19 of the opening 6 of the damping element 3.
  • the motor housing rests against an end face 12 of the damping element 3 on its end face 11.
  • a projection 14 is formed here, which extends into a recess 13 of the damping element 3.
  • the projection 14 extends over the entire end face 11 of the fan motor 4 and engages in the recess 13 of the damping element 3, which is formed according to the projection 14, a.
  • the damping element 3 surrounds the fan motor 4 both axially and radially, so that vibrations of the fan motor 4 directed in all directions in space can be accommodated.
  • Figure 3 shows a sectional view of a motor assembly 1 in the assembled state and Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a motor assembly in the mounted state.
  • the motor capsule 5 is here coupled directly to the damping element 3 and lies contour-bound to this.
  • the blower motor 4 is further coupled directly to the damping element 3.
  • a further damping element 23 is arranged on the B side of the fan motor 4 within the motor capsule 5.
  • the further damping element 23 has - as the damping element 3 - to prevent the task that vibrations of the fan motor 4 are transmitted to the housing 2.
  • the further damping element 23 is - as the damping element 3 - made of an elastic material such. As polyurethane.
  • the motor capsule 5 of the motor assembly 1 in this embodiment also has reinforcing ribs 21, which increase the stability of the motor capsule 5. Thus, the vibrations of the engine capsule 5 are reduced.
  • the invention is not limited exclusively to designed as a vacuum cleaner household appliances, but can also be used advantageously in other electric motor driven household appliances, such as juicers, coffee machines, food processors, etc.
