Definitions
- the invention relates to a floor cleaning device with a cleaning head on which a cleaning tool is rotatably mounted about a rotation axis, a handle which is pivotally mounted on the cleaning head about a pivot axis, a first container for applying to a floor surface to be cleaned cleaning liquid, a second container for the dirt surface to be cleaned, a suction unit and an electric motor.
- Such a floor cleaning device is described in DE 10 2007 029 258 AI.
- a floor surface can be cleaned by applying cleaning liquid from the first container to the floor surface and cleaning it by means of the cleaning tool.
- the cleaning liquid can be sucked together with the dissolved dirt under the action of the suction unit from the bottom surface and transferred to the second container for contaminated liquid.
- a user can usually grasp the stem at a handle arranged at its free end.
- Object of the present invention is to develop a generic floor cleaning device so that it has an increased ease of use.
- the floor cleaning device comprises at least one rechargeable battery for providing electrical energy for the electric motor and at least one holding part for holding the at least one rechargeable battery on the floor cleaning device.
- the electric motor can be supplied with energy from the at least one rechargeable battery. In this way, an otherwise required power cable can be omitted, with which the floor cleaning device to supply the electric motor with energy would be connected to a power grid.
- a user therefore does not need to connect a cable to the power supply, so that the floor cleaning device can be put into operation faster than a conventional floor cleaning device.
- the floor cleaning device according to the invention grants the user a greater freedom of movement when cleaning, because it is no longer limited by the limited length of the power cable and because the power cable also no longer be in his way and can interfere in this way.
- the at least one battery is held on the floor cleaning device. It can be provided in particular that the at least one battery is held by means of the at least one holding part on the stem.
- both containers are held on the stem above the pivot axis.
- the at least one battery is held pivotally by means of the at least one holding part on the handle and if, relative to the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device, in an operating position of the handle, the at least one battery in front of the pivot axis and the at least one container behind the pivot axis is arranged, or vice versa.
- the handle can assume an operating position, for example, so that a user can control the floor cleaning device in a simpler way on the stick sliding. It can be provided in particular that the stem in the operating position encloses an angle with a vertical, so that the user can grasp the stem more easily.
- the at least one container held above the pivot axis on the handle can produce a force acting on the handle first tilting moment in its operating position.
- the user In the absence of the at least one battery, the user must counteract this first tilting moment on the stem in order to keep the stem in the operating position.
- the at least one battery Relative to the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device, in the operating position of the handle, the at least one battery is now arranged in front of the pivot axis and the container behind the pivot axis or vice versa.
- the at least one battery generates a second tilting moment, which is opposite to the first tilting moment generated by the container.
- This second tilting moment acts on the handle by means of the holding part, which effectively forms a lever arm.
- the user must thereby counteract the stem only a smaller than the first tilting moment generated by the container to hold the stem in the operating position. This considerably increases the ease of use of the floor cleaning appliance.
- the at least one battery is held by means of the at least one holding part at a cleaning head facing the end of the stem.
- the at least one battery can generate a second tilting moment counter to the first tilting moment produced by the container over a large range of a swivel angle which the handle can assume relative to the cleaning head.
- the at least one holding part forms a contact element which rests on the cleaning head in a rest position of the handle.
- the weight of the at least one battery can be derived in this way in the rest position of the stem on the cleaning head. This reduces the load on the at least one holding part. In the rest position, for example, the stem takes approximately a right angle relative to the cleaning head. As a result, the floor cleaning device is space-saving.
- the at least one holding part has a first portion which forms at least one receptacle for a battery into which it can be inserted and from which it can be removed again.
- the at least one battery can be removed by a user in a simple way the floor cleaning device, for example, to load it to an external charging station.
- the user may re-insert the at least one battery into the at least one receptacle.
- the first section is arranged above the cleaning head and if the battery can be removed from the receptacle in a direction pointing away from the cleaning head and can be inserted into it in a direction pointing to the cleaning head.
- the at least one battery is easily accessible to a user. It can be removed in a user-friendly way up from the receptacle and inserted down into the receptacle.
- the battery can be inserted without tools into the receptacle and / or removed from the receptacle without tools.
- the at least one battery can be removed in a particularly user-friendly manner from the receptacle and / or inserted into it.
- a locking device may be arranged, which can lock with the battery to secure them in the recording. It may be provided that the at least one holding part has a second portion which forms at least part of a housing for the electric motor and / or the suction unit in order to give the floor cleaning appliance a more compact design.
- the second section forms a half shell which cooperates with a further half shell for forming a housing accommodating the electric motor and / or the suction unit. This gives the possibility to give the floor cleaning device an even more compact design.
- a particularly compact design can be imparted to the floor cleaning device if the housing is arranged below at least one container held on the handle and forms a support surface for the at least one container on the top side.
- the at least one holding part has a third section which forms a receptacle for an electrical device for controlling the discharge of the at least one battery.
- the electrical device can, for. Example, be controlled as the at least one battery is discharged, d. H. their electrical energy is removed and provided to the electric motor.
- the electrical device is also received by the at least one holding part, in the receptacle formed by the third section.
- the third section is conveniently located above the cleaning head, and the receptacle for the electrical device is advantageously open at the top to facilitate insertion of the electrical device and thus assembly of the floor cleaning appliance. By means of a lid, the receptacle can then be closed in order to protect the electrical device from external influences. It is advantageous if the third section between a first portion of the at least one holding part, which forms at least one receptacle for a battery, and a second portion of the at least one holding part, the at least part of a housing for the electric motor and / or the suction unit forms, is arranged. This has proven to be advantageous in practice to give the at least one holding part a compact design.
- the third section is arranged in a transition area between the first section and the second section. As a result, electrical connections between the at least one battery, the electrical device and the electric motor can be made as short as possible.
- the at least one holding part is manufactured in one piece and / or formed as a plastic molded part. This reduces its manufacturing cost.
- the floor cleaning device comprises two batteries for providing electrical energy for the electric motor. If the two batteries are discharged one after the other, the service life of the floor cleaning device can be doubled. The user is less likely to recharge the batteries, which enhances the ease of use of the floor cleaning appliance.
- the floor cleaning apparatus may comprise the aforementioned electrical device.
- the two batteries with respect to a central longitudinal plane of the floor cleaning device are arranged symmetrically to each other on the floor cleaning device.
- the weights of the two batteries can thereby balance each other, so that the floor cleaning device is less prone to tilting.
- Figure 1 a perspective view of a floor cleaning device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a front view of the floor cleaning device of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in Figure 2, wherein a
- Stem of the floor cleaning device occupies a rest position relative to a cleaning head of the floor cleaning device
- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in Figure 2, wherein the
- FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of detail A in FIG. 4.
- a preferred embodiment of a floor cleaning appliance according to the invention is in the drawing as a whole occupied by the reference numeral 10.
- the floor cleaning device 10 has a cleaning head 12 in the form of a brush head, on which a cleaning tool 16 in the form of a brush roller is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis of rotation 14.
- a handle 20 is pivotally mounted on the cleaning head 12 about a horizontal pivot axis 18, which has a handle in the form of a handle 22 on its side facing away from the cleaning head 12 side.
- a user can grasp the stem 20 in a simple manner. For example, he can attack on the handle 22 to the stem 20 of a Ru hegna, in which the handle 20 is aligned approximately at right angles relative to the cleaning head 12 ( Figure 3), by pivoting about the pivot axis 18 in a direction of movement 23 of the floor cleaning device 10 opposite direction to an operating position to transfer ( Figure 4 and 5).
- the handle 20 includes an obtuse angle with the cleaning head 12, which may vary, for example, depending on the size of the user grasping the handle 22 and may be approximately 120 °. Accordingly, the stem 20 may occupy more than one operating position.
- the handle 20 comprises a handle housing 24 with a handle housing upper part 26, a handle housing middle part 28 and a handle housing lower part 30. Below the handle housing upper part 26 is a rear limited by the handle housing middle part 28 receiving space 32 for a container assembly 34 is formed.
- the container assembly 34 comprises a first container 36 for cleaning liquid 37 and a second container 38 for contaminated liquid 39. In the receiving space 32, the container assembly 34 is detachably held on the handle 20.
- the handle housing lower part 30 forms a first half-shell 40 of a housing 42 below the container assembly 34 on a rear side 41 of the floor cleaning appliance 10.
- a second half-shell 44 of the housing 42 is formed by a holding part 46 of the floor cleaning appliance 10 described in more detail below.
- the housing 42 comprises a cover wall 48 formed by the holding part 46, which at the same time forms a support surface for the container assembly 34.
- the housing 42 encloses a receiving space 50, in which an electric motor 52 and a driven by this suction unit 54 are arranged.
- the electric motor 52 also serves to drive the brush roller 16. It has a coaxial with the pivot axis 18 aligned drive axle, so that the pivot axis 18 passes through the center of the housing 42.
- Cleaning liquid 37 contained in the first container 36 can be applied to a bottom surface to be cleaned, and dirt can be detached from the bottom surface under the action of the brush roller 16. The cleaning liquid can be sucked out under the action of the suction unit 54 together with the dirt and transferred as a dirty liquid 39 in the second container 38. How this is done in detail, is described in the published under the publication number DE 10 2007 029 258 AI German patent application of the same applicant to which reference is made in this regard and which is hereby incorporated in full content of the present patent application.
- the floor cleaning appliance 10 comprises two rechargeable batteries 56 in the form of rechargeable batteries, for example in the form of Li-ion rechargeable batteries.
- the batteries 56 are held by means of the holding part 46 on the handle housing lower part 30 and thus on the stem 20. With respect to a central longitudinal plane of the floor cleaning appliance 10, they are arranged symmetrically relative to one another on the floor cleaning appliance 10 (FIG. 2).
- the holding part 46 has a first section 58. This is arranged above the cleaning head 12 and forms for each of the batteries 56, a shaft-shaped receptacle 60 which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device 10 approximately at the level of the brush roller 16. Each receptacle 60 has, on its side facing away from the cleaning head 12, a top-side insertion opening 62 for a battery 56 accessible to a user in a simple manner.
- the battery 56 through the insertion opening 62 user-friendly tool-free be used. In this case, the battery 56 can engage with a latching device 64 arranged on the receptacle 60, and be secured in the receptacle 60.
- the battery 56 With a cleaning head 12 facing away from the side of the battery 56 projects out of the receptacle 60. After releasing the latch, the battery 56 can thereby be removed by a user in a simple way without tools from the receptacle 60, for example, to transport them for loading to an external charging station and not shown in the drawing.
- a contact element 66 is further arranged, with which the battery 56 can be electrically contacted to remove their electrical energy.
- the contact element 66 is in operative connection with an electrical device 68 of the floor cleaning device 10, which is arranged in a receptacle 72 formed by a further section 70 of the holding part 46.
- the portion 70 is located, relative to the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device 10, between the first portion 58 and a second portion 74 of the holding part 46, which forms the aforementioned second half-shell 44 of the housing 42 for the electric motor 52 and the suction unit 54.
- the section 70 forms a third section of the holding part 46 above the cleaning head 12.
- the holding part 46 protrudes from a formed between the container assembly 34 and the cleaning head 12 space 76 ( Figure 5) in the direction of a front side 78 of the floor cleaning device 10, with the third portion 70 and the first portion 58, which are arranged above the cleaning head 12.
- the receptacle 72 of the third section 70 has an upper-side insertion opening 80. Through the insertion opening 80, the electrical device 68 can be introduced during assembly of the floor cleaning device 10 in a simple manner. By means of a cover 82, the receptacle 72 is dirt and water sealed to protect the electrical device 68 from external influences.
- the electrical device 68 is also in operative connection. It is controllable by them how the two batteries 56 are discharged during operation of the floor cleaning device 10 in order to provide the electric motor 52 with electrical energy. This can be done, for example, such that first one of the batteries 56 is discharged and after the complete discharge then the second of the batteries 56 is discharged.
- an otherwise required power cable can be dispensed with in the floor cleaning appliance 10, with which the floor cleaning appliance 10 would be connected to a power supply to supply energy.
- This offers on the one hand the advantage that the floor cleaning device 10 is ready for use faster than a conventional floor cleaning device, since the user does not have to connect a power cable to the mains during commissioning.
- the range of motion in the floor cleaning device 10 is increased compared to a conventional floor cleaning device, as this limiting power cable with a limited length can be omitted.
- the pivot axis 18 extends through the center of the housing 42. It is thereby surrounded by half-shell 44 forming the second portion 74 on one side.
- the first portion 58 occupies a distance relative to the second portion 74. Therefore, the batteries 56 occupy a distance from the pivot axis 18. In particular, they are, in relation to the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device 10, arranged in front of the pivot axis 18. If the handle 20 is pivoted about the pivot axis 18 by a user during start-up of the floor cleaning device 10 and transferred to the operating position, the container assembly 34, based on the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device 10, passes behind the pivot axis 18. This results in that in particular the container assembly 34 including the cleaning liquid 37 received therein and the dirty liquid 39 generates a first tilting moment acting on the handle 20.
- a user In a conventional floor cleaning device, a user must counteract this first tilting moment on the handle 22 to prevent the handle 20 from pivoting further about the pivot axis 18 in the direction of the floor surface. This can be distracting to the user when operating a conventional floor cleaning device.
- the batteries 56 generate a second tilting moment.
- the second tilting moment is transmitted via the holding part 46 to the associated handle housing lower part 30 and thus to the stem 20.
- the holding member 46 thus forms a handle 20 acting on the handle arm.
- the second tilting moment generated by means of the batteries 56 is directed counter to the first tilting moment generated in particular by the container assembly 34, because the batteries 56 are arranged in front of the pivot axis 18 in the operating position of the handle 20.
- the effect of the second tilting moment is noticeable by the fact that the load on the handle 22 drops, which the user has to apply in order to hold the handle 20 in the operating position. This is perceived by the user when working with the floor cleaning device 10 as pleasant, so that this is characterized by a high ease of use.
- the load on the handle 22 even disappears completely when the first overturning moment and the second overturning moment just equalize.
- the batteries 56 are held by means of the holding part 46 on the cleaning head 12 facing the lower end of the stem 20, from which the holding part 46 projects approximately at right angles. The batteries are therefore, in relation to the longitudinal direction of the floor cleaning device 10, arranged even before the pivot axis 18 when the handle 20 is aligned horizontally, ie in extension of the cleaning head 12.
- the first section 58 and the third section 70 form a common contact element 84 on their underside facing the cleaning head 12.
- the contact element 84 can in the rest position of the stem 20 on a cover 86 of the cleaning head 12 on and in particular rest thereon ( Figures 1 to 3). As a result, in the rest position of the handle 20, the weight of the batteries 56 can be discharged to the cleaning head 12 and the load on the holding part 46 can be reduced.
