Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des tondeuses à cheveux ou à barbes. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des tondeuses intégrant un système d'aspiration pour collecter les poils coupés.The present invention relates to the technical field of hair clippers or beards. More particularly, the invention relates to clippers incorporating a suction system for collecting the cut hairs.

Dans ce domaine, il est connu des tondeuses comprenant un boîtier renfermant une turbine motorisée qui a pour but de créer une dépression dans une chambre d'aspiration. Ainsi, les cheveux coupés sont aspirés par une buse d'aspiration communiquant avec la chambre d'aspiration. On connaît un document US20060230619 tout comme le document EP2239107 , au nom de la demanderesse, qui décrivent une tondeuse à cheveux filaire comprenant un boîtier intégrant un bloc de coupe à l'avant du boîtier actionné par un premier moteur et une turbine à l'arrière du boîtier destinée à créer une dépression dans une chambre d'aspiration, la turbine étant entrainée par un deuxième moteur. Le boîtier présente une buse d'aspiration adjacente au bloc de coupe et communiquant avec la chambre d'aspiration. Cette dernière présente une forme creuse destinée à recevoir les cheveux coupés, celle-ci étant détachable du boîtier. Cette structure oblige l'utilisation de deux moteurs indépendants ce qui augmente l'encombrement et le coût du produit. De plus, une telle tondeuse est alimentée par une prise électrique, ce qui est donc un inconvénient pour l'utilisation et le transport.In this field, it is known lawnmowers comprising a housing containing a motorized turbine which aims to create a vacuum in a suction chamber. Thus, the cut hair is sucked by a suction nozzle communicating with the suction chamber. We know a document US20060230619 just like the document EP2239107 , in the name of the applicant, which describe a wired hair trimmer comprising a housing incorporating a cutting block at the front of the housing actuated by a first motor and a turbine at the rear of the housing for creating a vacuum in a room suction, the turbine being driven by a second motor. The housing has a suction nozzle adjacent to the cutting block and communicating with the suction chamber. The latter has a hollow shape for receiving the cut hair, the latter being detachable from the housing. This structure requires the use of two independent motors which increases the size and cost of the product. In addition, such a mower is powered by an electrical outlet, which is therefore a disadvantage for use and transportation.

On connaît un autre document EP1216800 qui décrit une tondeuse à cheveux comprenant un boîtier définissant une buse d'aspiration, une chambre d'aspiration destinée à créer un flux d'air par une turbine et un réservoir amovible destiné à recevoir les cheveux coupés. La tondeuse comprend un bloc de coupe actionné par un moteur électrique à deux sorties, ladite turbine étant couplée à la sortie opposée du bloc de coupe. La tondeuse décrite dans ce document comprend un seul moteur pour les fonctions de coupe et d'aspiration, ce qui optimise le coût de revient du produit. Cependant, en raison de l'agencement des deux sorties moteur, la chambre d'aspiration se trouve à l'extrémité opposée de la buse d'aspiration avec un renvoi d'angle du flux d'air. Par conséquent, le flux d'aspiration est étendu dans le boîtier, ce qui signifie un effet aspirant des cheveux coupés insuffisant.Another document is known EP1216800 which discloses a hair clipper comprising a housing defining a suction nozzle, a suction chamber for creating an air flow by a turbine and a removable reservoir for receiving the cut hair. The mower includes a cutting block powered by a two output electric motor, said turbine being coupled to the opposite output of the cutter block. The mower described in this document includes a single motor for cutting and suction functions, which optimizes the cost of the product. However, due to the arrangement of the two motor outputs, the suction chamber is at the opposite end of the suction nozzle with a return angle of the airflow. As a result, the suction flow is extended into the housing, which means that the suction effect of the cut hair is insufficient.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés et de proposer une tondeuse à cheveux ou à barbes plus compacte, plus économique en énergie et plus efficace en aspiration des cheveux coupés, tout en ayant un coût de fabrication faible.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a hair trimmer or barber more compact, more energy-efficient and more efficient in suction of cut hair, while having a low manufacturing cost.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une tondeuse ayant une construction simple, facile à assembler.Another object of the invention is to provide a mower having a simple construction, easy to assemble.

Encore un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un réservoir d'une capacité de stockage améliorée pour les cheveux coupés.Yet another object of the invention is to provide a reservoir with improved storage capacity for cut hair.

Afin d'atteindre ces objectifs, l'invention concerne une tondeuse aspirante comprenant un boîtier renfermant un bloc de coupe composé d'une lame fixe et d'une lame mobile destinée à être entrainée en oscillation ; un moteur électrique pour entrainer le mouvement de ladite lame mobile ; un système d'aspiration comprenant : un réservoir démontable du boîtier, présentant à son extrémité avant, une bouche d'aspiration adjacente au bloc de coupe ; une turbine destinée à générer une dépression au moins dans le réservoir, la turbine étant destinée à être entrainée par ledit moteur. Le moteur comprend un unique arbre de sortie présentant, à la fois, des moyens d'accouplement à la turbine et des moyens d'entrainement de la lame mobile.In order to achieve these objectives, the invention relates to a suction mower comprising a housing enclosing a cutting block composed of a fixed blade and a movable blade intended to be driven in oscillation; an electric motor for driving the movement of said movable blade; a suction system comprising: a removable housing of the housing, having at its front end, a suction mouth adjacent to the cutting block; a turbine for generating a vacuum at least in the tank, the turbine being intended to be driven by said engine. The engine comprises a single output shaft having, at the same time, coupling means to the turbine and drive means of the movable blade.

Ceci permet de raccourcir le parcours du flux d'air sans renvoi d'angle, donc d'améliorer l'aspiration des cheveux coupés. De plus, l'utilisation d'un seul moteur permet de diminuer le coût du produit et de l'alimenter en batterie pour faciliter le transport et l'ergonomie. Lesdits moyens d'accouplement à la turbine et lesdits moyens d'entraînement de la lame mobile peuvent être des dispositifs mécaniques conventionnels utilisés dans les petits appareils électroménagers.This makes it possible to shorten the path of the airflow without a return angle, and thus to improve the suction of the cut hair. In addition, the use of a single motor reduces the cost of the product and battery power for ease of transport and ergonomics. Said turbine coupling means and said movable blade drive means may be conventional mechanical devices used in small household appliances.

Avantageusement, la turbine est agencée entre le réservoir et le moteur. Ceci a pour avantage d'aménager en série les éléments du système d'aspiration dans l'ordre et respectivement : la bouche d'aspiration, le réservoir, la turbine et le moteur. Ceci permet de raccourcir le parcours du flux d'air sans renvoi d'angle, donc d'améliorer l'aspiration des cheveux coupés.Advantageously, the turbine is arranged between the reservoir and the engine. This has the advantage of arranging in series the elements of the suction system in the order and respectively: the suction mouth, the tank, the turbine and the engine. This makes it possible to shorten the path of the airflow without a return angle, and thus to improve the suction of the cut hair.

De surcroît, le réservoir présente à son extrémité arrière une ouverture communiquant avec la turbine. Le réservoir est donc traversant en ligne droite pour laisser passer le flux d'air, ce qui augmente l'efficacité d'aspiration.In addition, the tank has at its rear end an opening communicating with the turbine. The tank is thus traversing in a straight line to let the air flow, which increases the suction efficiency.

Ainsi, la tondeuse aspirante comprend un moyen de filtrage agencé entre la turbine et l'ouverture. Le moyen de filtrage peut être choisi parmi plusieurs types de filtre à air, comme par exemple un filtre nylon, avec des mailles de 0,2 mm de largeur et 0,06 mm d'épaisseur, ceci ayant pour but de filtrer les poils coupés et de maintenir la turbine propre et fiable.Thus, the suction mower comprises a filtering means arranged between the turbine and the opening. The filtering means may be chosen from among several types of air filter, such as for example a nylon filter, with meshes 0.2 mm wide and 0.06 mm thick, this being for filtering the cut hairs. and keep the turbine clean and reliable.

De préférence, le moyen de filtrage est solidaire du réservoir. Ceci permet de faciliter le montage des pièces et de garder les poils coupés dans le réservoir au moment du démontage de celui-ci.Preferably, the filtering means is integral with the reservoir. This makes it easier to assemble the parts and to keep the hairs cut in the tank at the time of disassembly thereof.

Avantageusement, au moins l'extrémité arrière du réservoir présente une section substantiellement circulaire et un dégagement en forme de U destiné à loger l'arbre de sortie. Cette forme du réservoir permet de lui attribuer un volume occupant substantiellement la totalité de la portion du boîtier dans laquelle est aménagé le réservoir, ce qui augmente la capacité de stockage des poils coupés.Advantageously, at least the rear end of the reservoir has a substantially circular section and a U-shaped clearance for accommodating the output shaft. This shape of the tank allows to allocate a volume occupying substantially the entire portion of the housing in which the tank is arranged, which increases the storage capacity of the cut hairs.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la tondeuse comprend au moins un peigne définissant une longueur de coupe monté sur le bloc de coupe.According to one embodiment, the mower comprises at least one comb defining a cutting length mounted on the cutting block.

De surcroît, la tondeuse comprend au moins deux peignes amovibles et interchangeables entre eux.In addition, 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.

Par ailleurs, le boîtier comprend un moyen d'affichage indiquant le positionnement dudit peigne.Furthermore, the housing comprises a display means indicating the positioning of said comb.

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

  • La figure 1 est une vue de la tondeuse avec son peigne démonté ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue de coté de la tondeuse partiellement éclatée ;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la tondeuse en éclaté ;
  • Les figures 4 et 5 montrent une forme précise du réservoir.
The invention will be better understood from the study of the embodiments taken as non-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 a side view of the mower partially broken;
  • The figure 3 is a perspective view of the exploded clipper;
  • The Figures 4 and 5 show a precise shape of the tank.

Une tondeuse corporelle telle qu'illustrée à la figure 1 et désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 1 comprend un boîtier 10, 10' définissant un corps creux 11, 11'. La tondeuse comprend à l'extrémité avant E1 du boîtier 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. 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 (T) mécanique.A body mower as illustrated in figure 1 and designated as a whole by the reference 1 comprises a housing 10, 10 'defining a hollow body 11, 11'. The mower comprises at the front end E1 of the housing 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. In order to be able to define a cutting length of the hair or precise beard, the mower is equipped with at least one removable comb 7 on the housing 10, 10 ', the movement of the comb 7 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 translational movement of the comb 7 by mechanical transmission means (T).

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 Δ' ayant des hélices 43' destinée à générer une dépression dans le corps creux, ladite turbine 43 étant en communication de fluide avec un réservoir 42 et une bouche d'aspiration 41 adjacente au bloc de coupe 20. Les cheveux coupés sont donc aspirés par la bouche d'aspiration 41 et ensuite stockés dans ledit réservoir 42 communiquant en fluide avec la turbine par une ouverture 6 à l'arrière. Il peut y avoir des moyens de filtrage entre le réservoir 42 et la turbine 43 afin d'empêcher les cheveux d'entrer dans la turbine 43.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 with an axis of symmetry Δ 'having propellers 43' intended to generate a vacuum in the hollow body, said turbine 43 being in fluid communication with a reservoir 42 and a suction mouth 41 adjacent to the cutting block 20. The cut hair is thus sucked by the suction mouth 41 and then stored in said reservoir 42 communicating in fluid with the turbine through an opening 6 at the rear. There may be filtering means between the tank 42 and the turbine 43 to prevent the hair from entering the turbine 43.

Cet agencement en série avec un ordre spécifique (réservoir puis turbine puis moteur) permet d'optimiser l'efficacité d'aspiration et l'utilisation de la tondeuse. En effet, la dépression générée par la turbine s'applique directement dans le réservoir 42 qui est agencé à proximité de la bouche d'aspiration 41, ce qui raccourci le passage du flux d'air afin de gagner en efficacité d'aspiration des cheveux coupés.This series arrangement with a specific order (tank then turbine and motor) optimizes the suction efficiency and the use of the mower. Indeed, the depression generated by the turbine is applied directly in the reservoir 42 which is arranged near the suction mouth 41, which shortens the passage of the air flow to increase the suction efficiency of the hair cut.

Afin de pouvoir réaliser une telle structure sans pour autant ajouter d'autres moyens d'actionnement du bloc de coupe susceptibles d'encombrer le boîtier, nous proposons une turbine destinée à être entraînée par un moteur électrique 30 comprenant un seul arbre de sortie 31 coaxial avec la turbine 43 tel que visible à la figure 3. Tel que visible à la figure 3, ledit arbre de sortie 31 est opérationnel uniquement sur un coté du moteur électrique 30. Sur cet arbre de sortie 31, il est prévu des moyens d'accouplement à la turbine présentés sous forme d'une came 32 destinée à s'incruster dans une cavité 432 de la turbine 43 afin d'entraîner celle-ci en rotation autour de l'axe Δ'.In order to be able to produce such a structure without adding other means of actuating the cutting block likely to encumber the housing, we propose a turbine intended to be driven by an electric motor 30 comprising a single output shaft 31 coaxial with the turbine 43 as visible to the figure 3 . As visible at figure 3 , said output shaft 31 is operational only on one side of the electric motor 30. On this output shaft 31, it is provided means for coupling to the turbine presented in the form of a cam 32 intended to be embedded in a cavity 432 of the turbine 43 to drive it in rotation about the axis Δ '.

Toujours à la figure 3, l'arbre de sortie 31 comprend en outre, à l'extrémité avant E1 et du même coté du moteur électrique 30, des moyens d'entrainement 33 de la lame mobile 22. Ces derniers présentent notamment un doigt excentrique 33 destiné à entraîner le mouvement va-et-vient de la lame mobile 22 par rapport à la lame fixe 21. Ceci peut être convenu par tout système d'entrainement du bloc de coupe d'une tondeuse conventionnelle qui est à la portée de l'homme du métier.Always at the figure 3 , the output shaft 31 further comprises, at the front end E1 and on the same side of the electric motor 30, drive means 33 of the movable blade 22. The latter have in particular an eccentric pin 33 intended to drive the reciprocating movement of the movable blade 22 relative to the fixed blade 21. This can be agreed by any driving system of the cutting block of a conventional mower that is within the reach of the skilled person.

Dans le but de récupérer le mouvement de l'arbre de sortie pour actionner le bloc de coupe, la turbine 43 comprend une bague 431 de l'axe Δ', montée sur l'arbre de sortie 31 pour que celui-ci traverse la turbine 43 par le centre, ladite cavité 432 étant présentée à l'extrémité de la bague 431 du coté où se trouve le moteur 30. Et le réservoir 42 tel qu'illustré en détail aux figures 5 et 6 présente une forme intérieure en U dans laquelle est logé l'arbre 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 cutting block, the turbine 43 comprises a ring 431 of the axis Δ ', mounted on the output shaft 31 so that it passes through the turbine 43 through the center, said cavity 432 being presented at the end of the ring 431 on the side where the motor 30 is located. And the reservoir 42 as illustrated in detail in FIGS. figures 5 and 6 has a U-shaped inner shape in which is housed the motor shaft 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.

En fonctionnement, l'utilisateur démonte le réservoir 42 quand celui-ci est plein. Il vide le contenu par simple tapotement et éventuellement nettoie l'intérieur avec l'eau du robinet. Il remet le réservoir 42 en place en clippant les moyens de fixation sur le boîtier.In operation, the user disassembles the tank 42 when it is full. It empties the contents by simply tapping and possibly cleans the inside with tap water. It puts the tank 42 in place by clipping the fastening means on the housing.

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.

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.
