Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des appareils corporels destinés à couper ou enlever des poils sur la peau. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne les tondeuses à cheveux ou à barbe intégrant un système d'aspiration pour collecter les poils coupés.The present invention relates to the technical field of body appliances for cutting or removing hair on the skin. More particularly, the invention relates to hair or beard clippers incorporating a suction system for collecting the cut hairs.

Dans ce domaine, de nombreux documents sont connus qui décrivent une tondeuse comprenant un boîtier renfermant une turbine entraînée par un moteur électrique afin de créer une dépression dans une chambre d'aspiration, les cheveux coupés étant aspirés par une bouche d'aspiration communiquant avec cette chambre d'aspiration. Par exemple, on connaît un document EP1775078 qui décrit une tondeuse à cheveux comprenant un boîtier renfermant un bloc de coupe adjacent à une ouverture d'aspiration délimitée par le bloc de coupe et un volet coulissant par rapport au boîtier. Le coulissement du volet permet de modifier l'ouverture d'aspiration en fonction du positionnement de l'appareil. Ce document propose une tondeuse aspirante permettant d'avoir un dégagement dans la zone de coupe afin de traiter des zones difficiles à accéder. Cependant, le coulissement du volet est à commander par l'utilisateur, et non de façon automatique, afin de s'adapter aux différentes zones à traiter. De plus, la fabrication des pièces est plus complexe ce qui augmente le coût du produit.In this field, numerous documents are known which describe a mower comprising a housing enclosing a turbine driven by an electric motor to create a vacuum in a suction chamber, the cut hair being sucked by a suction mouth communicating with this suction chamber. For example, a document is known EP1775078 which discloses a hair trimmer comprising a housing enclosing a cutting block adjacent to a suction opening defined by the cutter block and a sliding shutter relative to the housing. The sliding of the flap makes it possible to modify the suction opening according to the positioning of the apparatus. This document proposes a suction mower allowing to have a clearance in the zone of cut in order to treat areas difficult to reach. However, the sliding of the shutter is to be controlled by the user, and not automatically, to adapt to the different areas to be treated. In addition, the manufacture of parts is more complex which increases the cost of the product.

Il est donc apparu le besoin de fournir une tondeuse à cheveux ou à barbes aspirante ayant une efficacité d'aspiration dans toutes les zones à traiter, tout en ayant une bonne ergonomie dans son utilisation.It has therefore appeared the need to provide a hair trimmer or suction beard with suction efficiency in all areas to be treated, while having good ergonomics in its use.

Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, l'invention concerne une tondeuse aspirante comprenant un boîtier renfermant un bloc de coupe composé d'une lame fixe et d'une lame mobile entraînée en oscillation ; un moteur électrique destiné à actionner le mouvement de ladite lame mobile ; un système d'aspiration comprenant un canal d'aspiration présentant, à son extrémité avant, une bouche d'aspiration en communication de fluide avec ledit canal d'aspiration, la bouche d'aspiration étant adjacente au bloc de coupe. Ladite bouche d'aspiration comprend une paroi au moins partiellement souple destinée à se déformer quand elle subit une force d'appui. La bouche d'aspiration est une pièce solide creuse comprenant des parois formant à au moins une extrémité une ouverture par laquelle l'air est aspiré.In order to achieve this object, the invention relates to a suction mower comprising a housing enclosing a cutting block consisting of a fixed blade and a movable blade driven in oscillation; an electric motor for driving the movement of said movable blade; a suction system comprising a suction channel having, at its front end, a suction mouth in fluid communication with said suction channel, the suction mouth being adjacent to the cutting block. Said suction mouth comprises an at least partially flexible wall intended to deform when it undergoes a bearing force. The suction mouth is a hollow solid part comprising walls forming at at least one end an opening through which the air is sucked.

Avantageusement, ladite paroi est aménagée sur au moins partiellement le pourtour extérieur de ladite bouche d'aspiration, la paroi étant destinée à entrer en contact avec la peau.Advantageously, said wall is arranged on at least partially the outer periphery of said suction mouth, the wall being intended to come into contact with the skin.

La paroi au moins partiellement souple permet de surplomber le canal d'aspiration afin d'empêcher la projection des cheveux coupés par la coupe et de les aspirer au plus près des lames de coupe, ce qui diminue le taux d'échappement des cheveux et garde le lieu d'opération propre ; Quand la tondeuse est utilisée pour couper des cheveux ou des poils dans une zone non plane et difficile à accéder, ou quand l'utilisateur retrouve le besoin de travailler en précision sur certaines zones en tournant le bloc de coupe à l'envers, la paroi souple touche la peau en regard et se déforme automatiquement sous une force d'appui afin de maintenir le contact intime entre la bouche d'aspiration et la peau pour empêcher l'échappement des cheveux coupés. La paroi peut être démontable de la bouche d'aspiration ou bien surmoulée sur celle-ci.The wall at least partially flexible allows to overhang the suction channel to prevent the projection of the hair cut by cutting and suck closer to the cutting blades, which reduces the rate of escape of hair and keeps the place of operation proper; When the mower is used to cut hair or hair in a non-planar and difficult to access area, or when the user finds the need to work in precision on certain areas by turning the cutting block upside down, the wall Softly touches the skin and automatically deforms under a supporting force to maintain intimate contact between the suction mouth and the skin to prevent the escape of cut hair. The wall can be removable from the suction mouth or molded on it.

De surcroît, ledit boîtier comprend un boîtier supérieur et un boîtier inférieur, ladite paroi étant aménagée substantiellement sur ledit boîtier supérieur. Ledit boîtier supérieur correspond à celui qui se situe du même coté qu'une ligne de coupe composée par les deux lames de coupe. Ceci dit, la paroi souple vient compléter et prolonger le boîtier supérieur pour être au plus près des lames de coupe.In addition, said housing comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, said wall being provided substantially on said upper housing. Said upper housing corresponds to that which is on the same side as a cutting line composed by the two cutting blades. That said, the flexible wall complements and extend the upper housing to be closer to the cutting blades.

Avantageusement, la paroi souple est démontable de la bouche d'aspiration. La paroi démontable permet de nettoyer plus facilement le système d'aspiration. Ceci permet également de changer la paroi quand celle-ci est usée ou cassée.Advantageously, the flexible wall is removable from the suction mouth. The removable wall makes cleaning the suction system easier. This also allows to change the wall when it is worn or broken.

De préférence, la partie de paroi souple est constituée par au moins un des composants suivants : silicone, polyuréthanes thermoplastiques (TPU), élastomères thermoplastiques (TPE). Dans le cas où il s'agit d'une matière en silicone, la dureté est autour de 55 SHORE A.Preferably, the flexible wall portion is constituted by at least one of the following components: silicone, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). In the case where it is a silicone material, the hardness is around 55 SHORE A.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le système d'aspiration comprend un réservoir des cheveux coupés, ledit réservoir étant relié à la bouche d'aspiration par ledit canal d'aspiration. Ainsi, la tondeuse peut être utilisée de façon portable et les cheveux coupés sont stockés directement dans le réservoir qui est intégré au boîtier.According to one embodiment, the suction system comprises a reservoir of cut hair, said reservoir being connected to the suction mouth by said suction channel. Thus, the mower can be used in a portable manner and the cut hair is stored directly in the tank which is integrated in the housing.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, on peut aussi imaginer que ledit réservoir est démontable du boîtier. Ceci est réalisable en mettant des moyens de fixation réversible sur le réservoir, par exemple la fixation par clips. Ainsi, l'utilisation de l'appareil est plus facile puisqu'il ne reste que le réservoir à vider et à nettoyer indépendamment.In this embodiment, one can also imagine that said tank is removable from the housing. This is achievable by putting reversible fastening means on the tank, for example fixing by clips. Thus, the use of the apparatus is easier since only the tank to empty and clean independently remains.

De préférence, la tondeuse comprend au moins un peigne définissant une longueur de coupe.Preferably, the mower comprises at least one comb defining a length of cut.

Avantageusement, la tondeuse comprend au moins deux peignes amovibles et interchangeables entre eux.Advantageously, the mower comprises at least two combs removable and interchangeable between them.

Ainsi, le boîtier comprend à son extrémité opposée du bloc de coupe un moyen de réglage du peigne.Thus, the housing comprises at its opposite end of the cutting block comb adjusting means.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'étude des modes de réalisation pris à titre nullement limitatif et illustrés dans les figures annexées dans lesquelles :

  • La figure 1 est une vue de la tondeuse avec son peigne démonté ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue de côté en éclaté de la tondeuse ;

  • La figure 4 est une vue en détail du deuxième mode de réalisation de la paroi souple ;
  • Les figures 5 et 6 montrent une forme précise du réservoir.
  • La figure 7 montre ladite paroi souple en détail.
The invention will be better understood with the study of the embodiments taken in no way limiting and illustrated in the accompanying figures in which:
  • The figure 1 is a view of the mower with his comb disassembled;
  • The figure 2 is an exploded side view of the mower;
  • The figure 3 is a detailed view of the first embodiment of the flexible wall;

  • The Figures 5 and 6 show a precise shape of the tank.
  • The figure 7 shows said flexible wall in detail.

Une tondeuse corporelle telle qu'illustrée à la figure 1 et désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 1 comprend un boîtier supérieur 10 et un boîtier inférieur 10' définissant un corps creux 11, 11'. La tondeuse comprend à son extrémité avant E1 un bloc de coupe 20 comprenant une lame fixe 21 et une lame mobile 22 destinée à effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient par rapport à la lame fixe 21. Le boîtier supérieur 10 correspond à celui du coté où se trouve la ligne de coupe définie par la lame fixe 21 et la lame mobile 22. Afin de pouvoir définir une longueur de coupe des cheveux ou de barbe précise, la tondeuse est équipée d'au moins un peigne 7 amovible sur le boîtier 10, 10', le mouvement du peigne 7 par rapport au bloc de coupe étant actionné par un moyen de réglage rotatif 8 qui est, dans l'exemple illustré, un bouton 8 monté sur l'axe Δ de symétrie de la tondeuse. Le mouvement rotatif du bouton 8 autour du même axe Δ est transformé en un mouvement en translation du peigne 7 par des moyens de transmission mécanique.A body mower as illustrated in figure 1 and designated generally by the reference numeral 1 comprises an upper housing 10 and a lower housing 10 'defining a hollow body 11, 11'. The mower comprises at its front end E1 a cutting block 20 comprising a fixed blade 21 and a movable blade 22 intended to move back and forth relative to the fixed blade 21. The upper housing 10 corresponds to that of the side where is the cut line defined by the fixed blade 21 and the movable blade 22. In order to be able to define a specific cutting length of hair or beard, the mower is equipped with at least one comb 7 removable on the housing 10, 10 ', the movement of the comb 7 by relative to the cutting block being actuated by a rotary adjusting means 8 which is, in the illustrated example, a button 8 mounted on the axis Δ of symmetry of the mower. The rotary movement of the knob 8 around the same axis Δ is converted into a translation movement of the comb 7 by mechanical transmission means.

Tel que visible à la figure 2, la tondeuse comprend dans son corps creux 11, 11' un système d'aspiration 40 des cheveux coupés. Ce système d'aspiration 40 comprend tout d'abord une turbine 43 d'un axe de symétrie ayant des hélices destinée à générer une dépression dans le corps creux, ladite turbine 43 étant en communication de fluide avec un réservoir 42. Le système d'aspiration 40 comprend en outre une bouche d'aspiration 41 montée sur le boîtier supérieur 10 et adjacente au bloc de coupe 20 destinée à aspirer les cheveux coupés, ladite bouche d'aspiration 41 étant reliée au réservoir 42 et en communication de fluide avec celui-ci au moyen d'un canal d'aspiration 46. Les cheveux coupés sont donc aspirés par la bouche d'aspiration 41 et ensuite stockés dans ledit réservoir 42. Il peut y avoir des moyens de filtrage entre le réservoir 42 et la turbine 43 afin de garantir un bon fonctionnement de la turbine 43 ainsi que ses moyens d'entraînement.As visible at figure 2 , the clipper comprises in its hollow body 11, 11 'a suction system 40 cut hair. This suction system 40 firstly comprises a turbine 43 of an axis of symmetry having propellers for generating a vacuum in the hollow body, said turbine 43 being in fluid communication with a tank 42. The system suction 40 further comprises a suction mouth 41 mounted on the upper housing 10 and adjacent to the cutting block 20 for sucking the cut hair, said suction mouth 41 being connected to the reservoir 42 and in fluid communication with the latter; ci by means of a suction channel 46. The cut hair is thus sucked by the suction mouth 41 and then stored in said reservoir 42. There may be filtering means between the reservoir 42 and the turbine 43 so to ensure proper operation of the turbine 43 and its drive means.

Bien évidemment, plus la bouche d'aspiration 41 est proche des lames de coupe, plus l'aspiration est performante. Pour cela, la bouche d'aspiration comprend une paroi 5 au moins partiellement souple, telle que visible aux figures 3 et 4, destinée à être comprimée contre la peau et à se déformer quand elle subit une force d'appui. Cette paroi 5 est réalisée donc en matière souple tel qu'un TPU, un TPE ou un silicone d'une dureté de 55 SHORE A. Elle est agencée sur la partie supérieure du pourtour extérieur de la bouche d'aspiration 41. L'épaisseur de la paroi varie entre 1,2 et 2,5 mm. La largeur de la bouche d'aspiration étant égale à environ 26,5 mm. Afin d'améliorer la performance de l'aspiration des cheveux coupés, une forme idéale consiste en une section de taille réduite à une distance (d1) relativement proche des lames 21, 22 en conjonction avec une ouverture large se prolongeant jusqu'au dessus des lames 21, 22. Pour plus de précision, et tel qu'illustré à la figure 7, la distance (d1) de la restriction de section est comprise entre 9 et 13 mm ; la hauteur de la restriction (h1) qui est sensiblement constante sur toute la largeur du réservoir 42 est comprise entre 4 et 6 mm ; la distance transversale (d2) entre le bout de la paroi 5 et les lames 21, 22 est entre 3,5 et 5,5mm ; la distance verticale (d3) entre le bout de la paroi et les lames 21, 22 est entre 2mm et 4mm ; la longueur de la paroi 5 (d4) est entre 9mm et 13mm.Of course, the closer the suction mouth 41 is to the cutting blades, the better the suction. For this, the suction mouth comprises a wall 5 at least partially flexible, as visible at Figures 3 and 4 , intended to be compressed against the skin and to deform when it undergoes a supporting force. This wall 5 is thus made of a flexible material such as a TPU, a TPE or a silicone with a hardness of 55 SHORE A. It is arranged on the upper part of the outer periphery of the suction mouth 41. The thickness wall varies between 1.2 and 2.5 mm. The width of the suction mouth being equal to about 26.5 mm. In order to improve the performance of the suction of the cut hair, an ideal shape consists of a section of reduced size at a distance (d1) relatively close to the blades 21, 22 in conjunction with a wide opening extending to the top of the blades 21, 22. For more precision, and as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 , the distance (d1) the section restriction is between 9 and 13 mm; the height of the restriction (h1) which is substantially constant over the entire width of the reservoir 42 is between 4 and 6 mm; the transverse distance (d2) between the end of the wall 5 and the blades 21, 22 is between 3.5 and 5.5 mm; the vertical distance (d3) between the end of the wall and the blades 21, 22 is between 2mm and 4mm; the length of the wall 5 (d4) is between 9mm and 13mm.

Selon une première variante comme illustré à la figure 3, la paroi 5 est solidaire d'une pièce châssis 5' qui est montée détachable sur la bouche d'aspiration 41. La paroi 5 peut donc être démontée en cas de besoin.According to a first variant as illustrated in figure 3 , the wall 5 is integral with a frame part 5 'which is detachably mounted on the suction mouth 41. The wall 5 can be dismantled if necessary.

Selon une deuxième variante comme illustré à la figure 4, la paroi 5 est solidaire par surmoulage sur la bouche d'aspiration.According to a second variant as illustrated in figure 4 the wall 5 is secured by overmolding on the suction mouth.

Dans le but de récupérer le mouvement de l'arbre de sortie pour actionner le bloc de coupe 20, le réservoir 42 faisant partie de la même pièce que la bouche d'aspiration, tel qu'illustré en détail aux figures 5 et 6, présente une forme intérieure en U dans laquelle est logé l'arbre de sortie du moteur 30. Le réservoir 42 peut aussi présenter une section substantiellement circulaire permettant de maximiser la capacité de stockage.In order to recover the movement of the output shaft to actuate the cutter block 20, the reservoir 42 being part of the same part as the suction mouth, as illustrated in detail in FIGS. Figures 5 and 6 , has a U-shaped inner shape in which is housed the output shaft of the motor 30. The reservoir 42 may also have a substantially circular section to maximize the storage capacity.

Avantageusement, le réservoir 42 est attaché au corps de la tondeuse par des moyens de fixation 44, par exemple fixation par clipsage, permettant une fixation réversible. Le réservoir 42 est donc détachable du boîtier pour un nettoyage facile et fiable.Advantageously, the reservoir 42 is attached to the body of the mower by fixing means 44, for example snap-fastening, allowing a reversible attachment. The reservoir 42 is therefore detachable from the housing for easy and reliable cleaning.

Selon une alternative améliorée, le bouton 8 de réglage est agencé à l'extrémité arrière E2 de la tondeuse 1 permettant un aménagement interne compact avec un système d'aspiration plus performant.According to an improved alternative, the adjustment knob 8 is arranged at the rear end E2 of the mower 1 allowing a compact internal layout with a more efficient suction system.

En fonctionnement, l'utilisateur prend la tondeuse en main et la met en marche. Pour les zones faciles d'accès et sans exigence de précision, l'utilisateur met le bloc de coupe à plat contre la peau ou une mèche de cheveux pour que la ligne de coupe soit toujours à l'avant dans le déplacement de l'appareil. La bouche d'aspiration se trouve alors au dessus du bloc de coupe sans écrasement; pour les zones non planes et difficiles d'accès, par exemple derrière les oreilles ou sous le nez, l'utilisateur peut retourner la tondeuse pour que la ligne de coupe soit plus visible et plus précise en opération. Le boîtier supérieur 10 est alors approché de la peau et la partie de la paroi souple est susceptible d'être écrasée et de se déformer afin de satisfaire la distance/l'angle nécessaire à la coupe entre le boîtier supérieur et la peau.In operation, the user takes the mower in hand and turns it on. For areas that are easily accessible and without the need for precision, the user puts the cutting block flat against the skin or a lock of hair so that the cutting line is always at the front when moving the device . The suction mouth is then above the cutting block without crushing; For areas that are not flat and difficult to access, for example behind the ears or under the nose, the user can turn the mower around so that the line of cut is more visible and more precise in operation. The upper housing 10 is then approached to the skin and the portion of the flexible wall is likely to be crushed and deformed to meet the distance / angle necessary for cutting between the upper housing and the skin.

Bien entendu, d'autres modifications peuvent être apportées à l'invention dans le cadre des revendications annexées.Of course, other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
