Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a device for coupling a suction duct for vacuum cleaner.
- An object of the present invention is to meet the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, firstly, to provide a reliable coupling device, economical to build and having good ergonomics of use.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a device for coupling a suction duct, the device comprising:
- a male part arranged to fit into the female part to a coupling position, the female part comprising at least one female axial stop, the male part comprising at least one male axial stop arranged to engage and enter in abutment with the female axial stop and prevent movement of withdrawal of the male part from the coupling position,
- the coupling device is easy to control, since the unlocking is done by pivoting a single rotating ring: the user has only one interface to control, in a single movement to couple the male piece (the insertion movement in an axial direction of the suction duct) and a single movement to remove the male piece (the pivoting of the rotating ring). In addition, the device has a reduced number of components, which limits manufacturing costs.
- the rotary ring is arranged to be able to:
- the elastic means are constrained by the angular cam, so that when the male piece is in the coupling position, the female axial stop and the male axial stop are disengaged one of the other, thus allowing removal of the male part out of the female part.
- the control of the rotary ring is particularly easy for the user because the unlocking is possible by pivoting the rotating ring in one direction or another, it is indifferent.
- the male part and / or the female part are each formed by an assembly of several components. To facilitate the design, it can be interesting to form assemblies.
- the device comprises ejection means arranged to be controlled by the rotating ring when it is pivoted, and to create an axial withdrawal force on the male part from a torque exerted by the rotating ring, so as to cause a withdrawal movement of the male part from the coupling position.
- the ergonomics are improved because the only unlocking action causes the ejection of the male part. It is conceivable to use a cam or lever to transform the torque and / or rotational movement of the rotating ring into force and / or axial movement of the male part.
- the male piece and the female piece each comprise at least one angular abutment arranged to engage with each other when the male piece is in the coupling position, so as to block a relative rotation. between the female part and the male part in the coupling position.
- the user does not have to exert against torque on the device or the vacuum cleaner to maintain the latter: the angular stops provide this function.
- the device can be controlled by one hand for example, by acting only on the rotating ring.
- the angular stops comprise the ejection means.
- the device is simplified by combining the functions on the same parts.
- the angular stops comprise teeth with slopes, on the male part and on the female part, arranged to fit into each other so as to offer the locking in rotation when the male part is in the coupling position, and to cause an axial movement of withdrawal of the male part during a sliding between the slopes, caused by the torque exerted by the ring press.
- the slopes of the teeth which are tapered, cause axial movement under the effect of torque in a tangential direction.
- a cam is thus reproduced which transforms the rotary movement and / or torque exerted on the axial stop connected to the elastic means by the rotating ring in movement and / or axial force of the male piece.
- the device comprises a conical guide track arranged to move said one of the female axial abutment or the male axial abutment linked to the elastic means, during the insertion movement of the male part in the female part until at the coupling position and the engagement between the female axial stop and the male axial stop, and said withdrawal movement caused by said ejection means is sufficient to position one of the female axial abutment or abutment axial male linked to the elastic means facing the conical guide track.
- the removal of the male part is done in two steps: the withdrawal movement caused by the ejection means has the effect of placing the axial stop (male or female) linked to the elastic means facing the conical guide track, and the resilient means still partially constrained will create a force on the conical guide track to finish ejecting the male part.
- said one of the male axial abutment or the female axial abutment linked to the elastic means comprises an actuating pin arranged to be controlled by the rotary ring, and a clipping lug with a first portion arranged for sliding on the conical guide track during the insertion movement and a second portion arranged to engage with each other that said one of the male axial stop or the female axial stop connected to the elastic means.
- one of the female axial abutment or the male axial abutment linked to the elastic means is formed by three movable flat surfaces, the elastic means being constituted by three elastic tabs, and the other of the axial abutment.
- female or male axial abutment is a flat surface forming a ring around the suction duct. It is conceivable to arrange the three moving flat surfaces at 120 ° to increase the stability of the assembly.
- said flat surface forming a crown is embedded on the female part.
- the male piece and the female piece each form a portion of the suction duct.
- the elastic means, one of the female axial stop or the male axial stop connected to the elastic means and the rotary ring are embedded on one of the male part or the female part.
- the rotary ring is arranged to be manually controlled by a user.
- a second aspect of the invention is a vacuum cleaner comprising at least one suction duct and at least one device according to the first aspect of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a portion of a vacuum comprising a coupling device according to the invention, between a flexible tube end and the vacuum cleaner;
- FIG. 2 shows a detail of the tip of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a partial section of the vacuum cleaner of Figure 1;
- FIG. 4a shows a cross section of the tip of Figure 1, in a locking position
- FIG. 4b shows a cross section of the tip of Figure 1, in an unlocked position.
- FIG. 1 represents part of a vacuum cleaner comprising a coupling device according to the invention.
- the coupling device comprises on the one hand a cover 10a and a front plate 10b forming a female part 10 and, on the other hand, a tip 20a forming a male part 20 carrying a rotary ring 30.
- the male part 20 is arranged to fit into the female part 10 to a coupling position, and as will be explained below, the coupling device is arranged so that the insertion of the part male 20 in the female part 10 automatically leading to a locked coupling requires only one axial movement from the user, and unlocking and then removing the male piece 20 out of the female part 10 require only a rotational movement of the rotating ring 30 on the part of the user.
- FIG. 2 shows a partial view of the tip 20a.
- the latter comprises three elastic tabs 24 with a movable end, the other end being connected to the body of the nozzle 20a.
- Each movable end of the elastic tabs 24 comprises an actuating pin 22 formed by a cylinder portion and a clipping lug 23 with a first portion formed by a flat surface 21 and a second portion of conical shape to facilitate insertion into the female part 10.
- planar surfaces 21 are arranged to form a retractable axial abutment in order to engage with a flat surface 1 1 of the female part 10, to lock the male part 20 in the female part 10.
- the tip 20a comprises teeth 25 of substantially conical shape which are arranged to engage in teeth 15 also conical of the female part 10, to prevent rotation of the male part 20 when it is locked. in the female part 10.
- the teeth 15 and 25 form angular stop means, when the male part 20 is coupled in the female part 10.
- FIG. 3 shows a partial section of the female part 10, consisting of the cover 10a and the plastron 10b.
- a conical guide track 12 is located at the inlet of the orifice of the female part 10 to guide the male part 20 during its insertion and also to force and push inward the movable ends of the elastic tabs 24.
- the clipping lugs 23, via their second conically-shaped portion slide on the conical guide track 12, up to the inside diameter of the conical guide track 12.
- the elasticity of the elastic tabs 24 forces the mobile ends to return to their initial position, so that the flat surfaces 21 come opposite the flat surface 1 1 which is in fact a ring forming an axial abutment of the female part 10.
- the withdrawal of the male part 20 is impossible, it is locked in position in the female part 10.
- the teeth 25 of the tip 20a are engaged in the teeth 15 (not visible in the section of Figure 3, but visible in Figure 1), if necessary by imposing a minimal rotation of a few degrees, and no rotational movement of the male part 20 locked in the female part 10 is possible, because the axial abutments of each piece are engaged and prohibit axial movement of the male part that would be caused by a rotation of the latter, in combination with the slopes of the teeth 25 and 15 of the male 20 and female 10 respectively.
- insertion and automatic locking of the male part 20 in the female part 10 require only axial movement on the part of the user.
- FIG. 4a shows a cross section of the end piece 20a when it is in the locked position in the female part 10.
- the rotary ring 30 comprises an angular cam 31 formed by two sloping surfaces, facing the actuating pins 22 of FIG. each elastic tab 24.
- the elastic tabs 24 are not constrained, and the actuating pins 22 and clipping 23 are at a nominal radial distance from the axis of the duct, perpendicular to the cutting plane. It follows that the clipping lugs are facing the surface forming the axial abutment of the female part 10.
- FIG. 4b shows a cross section of the end piece 20a when the rotary ring 30 is controlled to unlock the male piece 20 and remove it from the female part 10.
- the rotary ring 30 has been pivoted by a user and this rotation has the effect, by means of the angular cam 31 sliding on the actuating pins 22, to move the free ends of the elastic tabs 24 towards the axis of the conduit.
- the actuating pins 22 are moved towards the center of the duct, as well as the clipping lugs 23, which has the effect of disengaging the axial stops of the male part, since the flat surfaces 21 are no longer facing each other. from the flat surface 1 1.
- the user only acts on the rotary ring 30, and does not need to hold the tip 20a to prevent it from rotating, because even if a part of the rotational torque exerted on the ring rotating device 30 by the user is transmitted to the end piece 20a via the actuating lugs, the end piece 20a is locked in rotation by the teeth 25 of the endpiece 20a engaged in the teeth 15 of the female part 10 This effect is obtained by the conical teeth 15 and 25 when the male part 20 is locked in the female part 10. The user only has to apply a rotation to the rotary ring 30.
- the teeth 25 of the male part 20 and the teeth 15 of the female part 10 are conical or sloping, and act as a cam which converts the torque and / or the rotary movement of the male part 20 in effort and / or or axial movement of removal of the male part 20, so that the withdrawal movement is automatic.
- this withdrawal movement predetermined by the height of the teeth 25 of the male part 20 and those of the female part 10, is calculated to eject the male part 20 so that the clipping lugs 23 are facing the track cone guide 12 of the female part 10.
- the resilient tabs 24 which exert a radial force on the conical guide track 12 in turn create an axial force on the male part 20, so that it is pushed further one little more out of the female part 10.
- the unlocking of the male part 20, caused by the rotation of the rotary ring 30, creates an axial movement of withdrawal of the male part 20, which is again ejected from the female part 10 by the action of the elastic legs 24.
- the coupling of the device can be achieved with a single axial movement of the user imposed on the male part 20 leading to an automatic locking, and a single unlocking rotary movement applied by the user on the rotating ring 30 leading unlocking and automatic ejection of the male part, which provides good ergonomics of use to the device.
