Description

La présente invention concerne de manière générale un suceur d'aspirateur destiné à être monté sur un aspirateur.The present invention relates generally to a vacuum cleaner nozzle intended to be mounted on a vacuum cleaner.

Il est connu dans l'art antérieur des suceurs d'aspirateur, et en particulier des suceurs d'aspirateur équipés de bandes de tissu agrippant dites arrache-fils, positionnées sur une surface d'aspiration et de grattage, comme présenté dans le document EP 1 210 898 B1 . Ce système présente notamment l'inconvénient d'avoir une efficacité limitée, car des fils piégés par l'arrache-fils peuvent rester sur ce dernier et le saturer. Les fils peuvent simplement rester piégés sur l'arrache-fils sans être aspirés. De plus, on peut noter que les contraintes de fabrication doivent tenir compte du positionnement de l'arrache-fils dans une empreinte femelle de la semelle, ce qui impose des ajustements coûteux. Un autre exemple de suceur d'aspirateur selon le préambule de la revendication est décrit dans le document DE 21 00 465 A1 .Vacuum cleaner squeegees are known in the prior art, and in particular vacuum cleaner squeegees equipped with strips of gripping fabric called wire pullers, positioned on a suction and scraping surface, as presented in the document. EP 1,210,898 B1 . This system has in particular the drawback of having limited effectiveness, since the wires trapped by the wire puller can remain on the latter and saturate it. The wires can simply remain trapped on the wire puller without being vacuumed. In addition, it can be noted that the manufacturing constraints must take into account the positioning of the wire puller in a female imprint of the sole, which imposes costly adjustments. Another example of a vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the preamble of the claim is described in the document. DE 21 00 465 A1 .

Un but de la présente invention est de répondre aux inconvénients du document de l'art antérieur mentionné ci-dessus et en particulier de proposer un suceur d'aspirateur avec un arrache-fils, qui présente une bonne efficacité de nettoyage.An object of the present invention is to respond to the drawbacks of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular to provide a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a wire puller, which has good cleaning efficiency.

Pour cela un premier aspect de l'invention concerne un suceur d'aspirateur comprenant :

  • une surface d'aspiration et de grattage,
  • une fente d'aspiration, agencée pour être connectée à un circuit d'aspiration de l'aspirateur et débouchant sur la surface d'aspiration et de grattage,
  • au moins un arrache-fils agencé sur la surface d'aspiration et de grattage, à côté de la fente d'aspiration,
caractérisé en ce que l'arrache-fils comprend une partie qui débouche dans la fente d'aspiration. Le suceur selon l'invention offre une bonne efficacité d'aspiration car l'arrache-fils s'étend jusqu'à la fente d'aspiration et débouche directement dedans. En conséquence, un fil piégé par l'arrache-fils sera guidé sans interruption ni discontinuité jusqu'à la fente d'aspiration pour y être aspiré. En d'autres termes, il n'y a pas d'obstacles entre l'arrache-fils et la fente d'aspiration.For this, a first aspect of the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle comprising:
  • a suction and scraping surface,
  • a suction slot, arranged to be connected to a suction circuit of the vacuum cleaner and opening onto the suction and scraping surface,
  • at least one wire puller arranged on the suction and scraping surface, next to the suction slot,
characterized in that the wire puller comprises a part which opens into the suction slot. The squeegee according to the invention offers good suction efficiency because the wire puller extends up to the suction slot and opens out directly into it. Consequently, a wire trapped by the wire puller will be guided without interruption or discontinuity to the suction slot to be sucked there. In other words, there are no obstacles between the wire puller and the suction slot.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'arrache-fils présente une première portion agencée sur la surface d'aspiration et de grattage, et une deuxième portion qui s'étend, en continuité avec la première portion, dans la fente d'aspiration. La deuxième portion qui s'étend dans la fente d'aspiration améliore encore le guidage vers le circuit d'aspiration des fils piégés par l'arrache-fils.According to one embodiment, the wire puller has a first portion arranged on the suction and scraping surface, and a second portion which extends, in continuity with the first portion, in the suction slot. The second portion which extends into the suction slot further improves the guiding towards the suction circuit of the wires trapped by the wire puller.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le suceur comprend deux arrache-fils, chacun agencés de part et d'autre de la fente d'aspiration selon une direction de nettoyage.According to one embodiment, the squeegee comprises two wire pullers, each arranged on either side of the suction slot in a cleaning direction.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la deuxième portion s'étend le long d'une paroi de la fente d'aspiration. L'intégration est optimale avec la deuxième portion qui forme une partie de la paroi de la fente d'aspiration, et affleure celle-ci.According to one embodiment, the second portion extends along a wall of the suction slot. Integration is optimal with the second portion which forms part of the wall of the suction slot, and is flush with it.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le suceur comprend un corps de suceur, et l'arrache-fils est supporté par une pièce rapportée par rapport au corps de suceur. La fabrication est facilitée avec une pièce rapportée qui permet de choisir une matière adaptée pour fixer l'arrache-fils, sans devoir adopter cette matière pour tout le corps du suceur.According to one embodiment, the squeegee comprises a squeegee body, and the wire puller is supported by an insert relative to the squeegee body. The manufacturing is facilitated with an attached part which makes it possible to choose a suitable material for fixing the wire puller, without having to adopt this material for the whole body of the nozzle.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'arrache-fils est surmoulé sur la pièce rapportée.According to one embodiment, the wire puller is overmolded on the insert.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la première portion et la deuxième portion appartiennent chacune à des plans inclinés d'un angle inférieur ou égal à 90 degrés. Cette mise en œuvre offre une alternative intéressante à du collage, en s'affranchissant des contraintes de délaminage d'un joint de colle qui sont présentes avec une telle géométrie complexe.According to one embodiment, the first portion and the second portion each belong to inclined planes with an angle less than or equal to 90 degrees. This implementation offers an interesting alternative to bonding, by overcoming the delamination constraints of an adhesive joint which are present with such a complex geometry.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'arrache-fils est collé sur la pièce rapportée.According to one embodiment, the wire puller is glued to the insert.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la pièce rapportée est collée sur le corps de suceur.According to one embodiment, the insert is glued to the squeegee body.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'arrache-fils s'étend jusqu'à une face avant ou arrière du suceur. Le guidage des fils piégés est optimal, et la fabrication est simplifiée, car la semelle ne présente pas d'empreinte dans laquelle positionner l'arrache-fils, car celui-ci est débouchant sur la face extérieure et dans la fente d'aspiration.According to one embodiment, the wire puller extends to a front or rear face of the nozzle. The guiding of the trapped wires is optimal, and the manufacturing is simplified, because the sole does not have an imprint in which to position the wire puller, since the latter opens onto the outer face and into the suction slot.

Un second aspect de l'invention est un aspirateur comprenant au moins un suceur d'aspirateur selon le premier aspect de l'invention.A second aspect of the invention is a vacuum cleaner comprising at least one vacuum cleaner nozzle according to the first aspect of the invention.

Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne un suceur d'aspirateur comprenant :

  • une semelle avec une surface d'aspiration et de grattage,
  • une fente d'aspiration, agencée pour être connectée à un circuit d'aspiration de l'aspirateur et débouchant sur la surface d'aspiration et de grattage,
  • au moins un arrache-fils agencé sur la surface d'aspiration et de grattage, à côté de la fente d'aspiration,
caractérisé en ce que l'arrache-fils présente au moins une première portion dans un premier plan et au moins une deuxième portion dans un deuxième plan incliné par rapport au premier plan, et en ce que l'arrache-fils est surmoulé sur une pièce rapportée au suceur.Another aspect of the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle comprising:
  • a sole with a suction and scraping surface,
  • a suction slot, arranged to be connected to a suction circuit of the vacuum cleaner and opening onto the suction and scraping surface,
  • at least one wire puller arranged on the suction and scraping surface, next to the suction slot,
characterized in that the wire puller has at least a first portion in a first plane and at least a second portion in a second plane inclined relative to the first plane, and in that the wire puller is molded onto a workpiece reported to the squeegee.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et illustré par les dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue isométrique d'un suceur d'aspirateur en coupe ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue isométrique du corps du suceur de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue isométrique d'un arrache-fils du suceur de la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which:
  • the figure 1 shows an isometric view of a vacuum cleaner nozzle in section;
  • the figure 2 represents an isometric view of the body of the squeegee of the figure 1 ;
  • the figure 3 represents an isometric view of a thread extractor from the squeegee of the figure 1 .

Dans la présente demande, les termes "suceur d'aspirateur" peuvent désigner plusieurs types de suceurs, mais l'invention concerne en particulier ceux qui sont destinés à pourvoir nettoyer des moquettes, des tissus, des coussins, des tapis ou des textiles, et retenir les corps étrangers allongés tels que fibres, fils, poils qui y seraient présents. Cela peut comprendre, de manière non limitative, un suceur large avec une brosse escamotable pour s'adapter à des sols durs ou des moquettes, un suceur étroit ou plat pour nettoyer exclusivement des coussins, des rideaux, des moquettes ou toute autre surface textile ou fibreuse.In the present application, the terms "vacuum cleaner nozzle" can designate several types of nozzle, but the invention relates in particular to those which are intended to provide for cleaning carpets, fabrics, cushions, carpets or textiles, and retain elongated foreign bodies such as fibers, threads, hair that are present there. This may include, without limitation, a wide nozzle with a retractable brush to adapt to hard floors or carpets, a narrow or flat nozzle to exclusively clean cushions, curtains, carpets or any other textile surface or fibrous.

La figure 1 représente un vue en coupe d'un suceur 10 selon l'invention, sur un sol à nettoyer 100.The figure 1 shows a sectional view of a nozzle 10 according to the invention, on a floor to be cleaned 100.

Le suceur 10 comprend un corps 11 du suceur 10 réalisé par exemple par moulage par injection en matière plastique. Le corps 11 du suceur 10 comprend un manchon 12 pour être raccordé à un circuit d'aspiration d'un aspirateur, et le manchon 12 communique avec une fente d'aspiration 15 ménagée dans une semelle du suceur 10. La semelle du suceur 10 présente une surface d'aspiration et de grattage qui dans le cas présent est essentiellement formée par des premières portions 21a et 22a de deux arrache-fils 21 et 22 respectivement, et c'est cette surface d'aspiration et de grattage qui est préférentiellement en contact avec le sol à nettoyer 100.The nozzle 10 comprises a body 11 of the nozzle 10 produced for example by plastic injection molding. The body 11 of the nozzle 10 comprises a sleeve 12 for connection to a suction circuit of a vacuum cleaner, and the sleeve 12 communicates with a suction slot 15 formed in a sole of the nozzle 10. The sole of the nozzle 10 has a suction and scraping surface which in the present case is essentially formed by first portions 21a and 22a of two wire pullers 21 and 22 respectively, and it is this suction and scraping surface which is preferably in contact with the floor to be cleaned 100.

Il est à noter que dans le cas présent la surface d'aspiration et de grattage est formée essentiellement par les premières portions 21a et 22a des arrache-fils 21 et 22 respectivement et présente une forme plane, mais d'une manière générale, la surface d'aspiration n'est pas forcément plane et n'est pas exclusivement formée par les arrache-fils 21 et 22.It should be noted that in the present case the suction and scraping surface is formed essentially by the first portions 21a and 22a of the wire strippers 21 and 22 respectively and has a planar shape, but in general, the surface suction is not necessarily flat and is not exclusively formed by the wire pullers 21 and 22.

Les arrache-fils 21 et 22 ont également chacun une deuxième portion 21b et 22b respectivement qui s'étend dans la fente d'aspiration 15. En d'autres termes, les arrache-fils 21 et 22 partent d'une face extérieure ou face d'attaque et s'étendent jusque dans la fente d'aspiration 15. En conséquence, il n'y a aucune discontinuité de l'arrache-fils 21 ou 22 depuis la face d'attaque jusqu'à la fente d'aspiration, et les fils, fibres ou poils piégés par les arrache-fils 21 ou 22 lors du nettoyage seront donc guidés sans obstacle jusqu'à la fente d'aspiration 15 où ils seront aspirés.The wire pullers 21 and 22 also each have a second portion 21b and 22b respectively which extends in the suction slot 15. In other words, the wire pullers 21 and 22 start from an outer face or face leading and extend into the suction slot 15. Consequently, there is no discontinuity in the wire puller 21 or 22 from the leading face to the suction slot, and the threads, fibers or bristles trapped by the thread pullers 21 or 22 during cleaning will therefore be guided without obstacle to the suction slot 15 where they will be sucked.

La figure 2 représente le corps 11 du suceur 10 de la figure 1. Afin de faciliter la fabrication, les arrache-fils 21 et 22 (non visibles sur cette figure 2) sont des pièces rapportées. En effet, les formes complexes des arrache-fils avec les premières portions 21a ou 22a, qui sont orientées d'un angle non négligeable (un angle compris entre 30° et 150° par exemple) par rapport aux deuxièmes portions 21b ou 22b respectivement, font qu'il est avantageux de réaliser des sous-ensembles.The figure 2 represents the body 11 of the nozzle 10 of the figure 1 . In order to facilitate manufacture, the wire pullers 21 and 22 (not visible on this figure 2 ) are attachments. Indeed, the complex shapes of the wire pullers with the first portions 21a or 22a, which are oriented at a non-negligible angle (an angle between 30 ° and 150 ° for example) relative to the second portions 21b or 22b respectively, make it advantageous to make sub-assemblies.

En effet, les assemblages peuvent être réalisés par collage par exemple, et en raison de l'angle susmentionné et des contraintes de délaminage, il peut être avantageux de choisir des matières spécifiques. Dans ce cas, il est intéressant de limiter l'usage de ces matières spécifiques aux zones de collage et une pièce rapportée dans cette matière permet d'éviter de réaliser le suceur 10 complet avec cette matière. On peut utiliser pour la pièce rapportée du polypropylène (PP) ou de l'acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS).Indeed, the assemblies can be made by gluing for example, and because of the aforementioned angle and delamination constraints, it may be advantageous to choose specific materials. In this case, it is advantageous to limit the use of these specific materials to the bonding zones and an insert in this material makes it possible to avoid making the nozzle 10 complete with this material. Polypropylene (PP) or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) can be used for the insert.

En alternative, l'arrache-fils peut être surmoulé. Dans ce cas, on s'affranchit des contraintes du collage, et il est également intéressant de surmouler l'arrache-fils 21, 22 sur la pièce rapportée, pour limiter la taille du moule de surmoulage.Alternatively, the wire puller can be overmolded. In this case, the constraints of bonding are overcome, and it is also advantageous to overmold the wire puller 21, 22 on the insert, to limit the size of the overmolding mold.

La figure 2 représente donc le suceur 10 sans les arrache-fils 21 et 22, et de chaque côté de la fente d'aspiration 15 se trouvent des emplacements 13 et 14 sur lesquels seront fixés par collage ou clipsage les arrache-fils 21 et 22 respectivement et leurs pièces rapportées.The figure 2 represents the squeegee 10 without the wire pullers 21 and 22, and on each side of the suction slot 15 are locations 13 and 14 on which will be attached by gluing or clipping the wire pullers 21 and 22 respectively and their inserts.

La figure 3 représente l'arrache-fils 22, et la première portion 22a forme avec la deuxième portion 22b un angle inférieur à 90 degrés. Dans ce cas, il est intéressant de surmouler l'arrache-fils 22 sur sa pièce rapportée pour éviter les décollages en raison de l'angle aigu.The figure 3 represents the wire puller 22, and the first portion 22a forms with the second portion 22b an angle less than 90 degrees. In this case, it is advantageous to overmold the wire puller 22 on its insert to avoid takeoffs due to the acute angle.

On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l'invention décrits dans la présente description sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications annexées.It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements evident to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
