Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner for autonomous cleaning of surfaces, with a device housing and at least one movably mounted in or under the device housing side arm is arranged on the at least one brush element, wherein the at least one side arm in a first position partially protruding in front of the device housing and in a second position is received by the device housing, wherein the at least one side arm having a first arm member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first arm member opposite the second end, wherein the first arm member at the first end movably mounted in the device housing is.
  • a movable side arm on the device housing of a vacuum robot. At a first end of this side arm is mounted rotatably movable in the device housing of the vacuum robot. At a second end of the side arm, which is opposite the first end as far as possible, at least one brush element is arranged. In a first position of the side arm whose second end protrudes in front of the device housing of the vacuum robot. The arranged on the protruding end of the side arm brush element allows the cleaning of such areas of a surface that are not or only insufficiently achieved by the suction mouth of the vacuum robot. In particular, corner and edge areas of a surface to be cleaned are reliably freed from dust and dirt particles in this way.
  • the problem here is that the movable side arms protrude in a first position in front of the device housing of the vacuum robot so that a gap or gap between the side arms and the device housing is created.
  • the gap or gap arises between the device housing and in relation to the main movement direction of the vacuum robot back of the side arms.
  • cables or wires can become entangled in the course of an autonomous cleaning drive of the vacuum robot on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the entangled objects usually prevent an autonomous continuation of the cleaning drive and often require that the user manually removes the objects manually from the side arms.
  • protruding edges in the gap or in the gap between the device housing and the side arm may jam.
  • the immobilized robotic vacuum cleaner then can not continue the cleaning drive autonomously and must be manually released by the user.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of providing a suction robot with side arms for improved cleaning of edge and corner areas while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the vacuum robot for autonomous cleaning of surfaces is characterized in that the side arm has a second arm member having a first end and a second end, the first end facing the second end, the second arm member being movably supported by the first end in the apparatus housing and movably connected to the second end of the first arm member at the second end.
  • the side arm thus has at least two individual arm elements, both of which are movably mounted with a respective first end in the device housing of the vacuum robot and whose respective second ends are interconnected.
  • the two arm elements are in particular rod-shaped.
  • First and second ends of the first arm member have an approximately maximum distance from each other with respect to the length of the first arm member.
  • First and second ends of the second arm member have an approximately maximum distance from each other with respect to the length of the second arm member.
  • the two arm elements are mounted with their first ends at different locations in the device housing of the vacuum robot. In an alternative embodiment, it is also conceivable to store the first ends of both arm elements at an identical location in the device housing of the vacuum robot. The two arm elements are mounted with their first ends in different ways in the device housing of the vacuum robot. In an alternative embodiment, it is also conceivable to store the first ends of both arm elements in an identical manner in the device housing of the vacuum robot.
  • the two arm elements are flexibly connected to each other at the second ends, which may protrude in front of the device housing of the vacuum robot. In particular, the connection between the first arm member and the second arm member at the second ends of the first and second arm members may protrude in front of the apparatus housing of the vacuum robot. In an alternative embodiment, however, it is also conceivable to connect the two arm elements movably to one another at other locations of the arm elements.
  • the receptacle for the storage of the first end of the second arm member in the device housing is so pronounced that the second arm member is received in an approximately linear guide.
  • This linear guide limits the movement of the second arm member to a fixed or settable movement interval.
  • the direction of the linear guide for receiving the second arm element in the device housing is substantially identical to the main movement direction of the vacuum robot.
  • the first end of the first arm member is rotatably mounted in the device housing of the vacuum robot.
  • the sliding engagement of the first end of the second arm member allows for guided movement of the side arm both to a first position where the side arm is projected in front of the device housing of the vacuum robot as well as to a second position where the side arm is approximately completely detached from the seat arm Device housing is added.
  • the cleaning performance of the vacuum robot is significantly improved, especially in edge and corner areas.
  • the side arm is received in a second position in such a way from the device housing, that the vacuum robot can not get stuck on objects or edges on the surface to be cleaned in the course of an autonomous cleaning drive.
  • a pin is disposed at the first end of the second arm member, which is slidably mounted in a receptacle in the device housing.
  • a pin is inserted in an opening at the first end of the second arm element, which is received by receiving elements in the device housing of the vacuum robot.
  • the pin is inserted in a vertical position in the second arm member and connected thereto.
  • the receiving elements of the pin in the device housing of the vacuum robot are both above and below the arm member arranged.
  • the arrangement of a pin for slidably receiving the first end of the second arm member is a reliable and stable support of the arm member.
  • the two-sided arrangement of receiving elements in the device housing ensures a stable and resilient mounting of the side arm, which is adapted to withstand the forces occurring on the side arm. This excludes that the side arm releases itself from its storage in the device housing due to the forces occurring during a cleaning drive.
  • both arm elements are connected together at the second ends via an axis.
  • the connection between the second ends of the first and second arm element is so pronounced that it allows movements of the two arm elements to each other.
  • the axis is arranged vertically at the second ends of the two arm elements.
  • the movable connection between the two arm elements via an axis allows the largest possible radius of movement of the side arms at the same time efficient use of the available space in the device housing of the vacuum robot.
  • the side arm in a first position in the supervision project sufficiently far in front of the device housing of the vacuum robot, so as to improve its cleaning performance, especially in edge and corner areas.
  • the side arm in a second position in which it is almost completely absorbed by the device housing, takes up the smallest possible space.
  • the movable connection of the arm elements simplifies the mounting of the side arm in the device housing of the vacuum robot.
  • the axis between the first arm member and the second arm member simultaneously function as a rotation axis of the brush member.
  • a brush element is additionally arranged below the side arm, in the direction of the surface to be cleaned, on the axis connecting the two arm elements. That is, the shaft which connects the first and second arm members to each other in a movable manner is simultaneously used as a rotation axis of the brush member and connects it to the side arm of the brush Robotic vacuum cleaner.
  • the axis of rotation of the brush element independently of the axis which connects the two arm elements to one another on the side arm.
  • the simultaneous arrangement of the axis, which connects the first and second arm member together as the axis of rotation of the brush element simplifies the structure of the side arm and reduces its manufacturing cost.
  • the centered arrangement of the axis of rotation of the brush element between the two arm elements acting in the course of a cleaning drive on the brush element forces approximately evenly distributed to the two arm elements of the side arm and thus also on their bearings in the device housing. This ensures a smooth guided movement of the side arms between the first and second position and also prevents the one-sided overload of individual bearings.
  • a vacuum robot in which the rotational movement of the first arm member by limiting elements in a preferred embodiment, an angle interval of 2 to 70 degrees and in a particularly preferred embodiment, an angle interval of 5 to 30 degrees.
  • the angle interval spans in the top view of the device housing between a straight line which abuts the device housing substantially transversely to the main movement direction of the vacuum robot and a side of the first arm element which is arranged in the direction of the main movement direction of the vacuum robot.
  • the first position of the side arm in which this at least partially protrudes in front of the device housing, results in a preferred embodiment, an angle of 2 degrees and in a particularly preferred embodiment, an angle of 5 degrees between the line and the side of the first arm member, the is arranged in the direction of the main movement direction of the vacuum robot.
  • the second position of the side arm in which the side arm is approximately completely received by the device housing, results in a preferred embodiment, an angle of 70 degrees and in a particularly preferred embodiment, an angle of 30 degrees between the line and the side of the first arm member, which is arranged in the direction of the main movement direction of the vacuum robot.
  • the limitation of the rotational movement of the at least one side arm takes place via elements arranged in the device housing.
  • the limitation of the rotational rotational movement of the at least one side arm on the claimed angular interval causes the side arm in the first position to protrude sufficiently in front of the device housing.
  • edge and corner areas are cleaned by the arranged under the side arm brush element of dust and dirt particles, which arranged by the under the device housing Suction or not be detected only very limited.
  • the claimed angle interval is selected so that the side arm can be received in the second position almost completely from the device housing.
  • the at least one side arm when the at least one side arm is located in the first position, an approximately flush termination is established between the two arm elements of the side arm and the two edges of the at least one opening in the side wall. That is, in the first position of the at least one side arm is arranged so that no gaps or gaps between the device housing and both arm elements of the side arm arise.
  • the opening in the side wall of the device housing is matched to the structural geometry of the side arm that the gaps between the two arm elements and the device housing in the first position of the side arm does not exceed a required for the mobility of the arm elements minimum technical dimension.
  • the at least one side arm is spring-loaded in the direction of the first position outside the device housing. That is, the at least one side arm is pushed or pulled by the force of a spring element in the direction of the first position.
  • a leg spring disposed in the first arm member resiliently biases the side arm in the direction of the first position.
  • the leg spring is arranged in the first arm member on the axis of rotation, which connects the arm member via an axis with the device housing.
  • the legs of the spring element are bordered by the walls of the first arm element or by limiting elements which are arranged in the device housing and engage through an opening in the first arm element of the side arm.
  • the spring force acting on the at least one side arm in a preferred embodiment has a force between 0.5 and 10 Newton and in a particularly preferred embodiment has a force between 1.5 and 4 Newton.
  • the force acting on the side arm spring force is set so that the force is sufficient to keep the side arms in obstacle-free ride in the first position outside of the device housing.
  • obstacle-free ride here is a normal cleaning trip understood in which neither the side arm nor arranged on the side arm brush element meets corners, edges or objects on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the spring force must be greater than the force which arises due to the friction or the engagement of the brush elements in the floor covering to be cleaned and acts counter to the direction of travel of the vacuum robot on the side arms.
  • on high-pile floor coverings must therefore be ensured that the side arms are pressed from the first position not only by the resistance of the floor covering during forward travel of the vacuum robot in the second position.
  • the spring force acting on the side arm must be selected such that the side arms can be pushed into the device housing with little effort by objects, edges or corners located on the surface to be cleaned. This prevents jamming or jamming of the side arms of the vacuum robot to objects, edges or corners on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the motor act as a drive for the brush element of the side arm via a toothed belt, a first pulley and a second pulley, which are arranged within the first arm member. That is, in the first arm member, a first pulley is disposed on the rotation axis of the brush member, which is connected via a toothed belt in operative connection with a second arranged in the first arm member pulley. The second pulley is driven above the outside of the first arm element arranged motor. In an alternative embodiment, it is conceivable to arrange the motor within the first arm element and to drive the brush element via at least one likewise arranged within the first arm element transmission element.
  • the arrangement of the motor, the toothed belt and the two pulleys within the first arm member allows a direct and largely lossless transmission of the drive power of the motor to the brush element.
  • the mobility of the side arm is not limited by additional mechanical connecting elements between the device housing and side arm by the most extensive integration of the drive elements in the first arm element. This would be required if a motor for driving the brush element would be arranged in the device housing and its drive power would have to be transmitted via at least one transmission element from the device housing in the side arm.
