  • the disadvantage here is the strong deflection of the air flow from the dust chamber into the blower.
  • the document JP 2003 093279 A discloses a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the approach presented here has the object to provide an improved vacuum cleaner.
  • the achievable with the approach presented here are that a deflection of the air flow within the vacuum cleaner is minimized, whereby energy can be saved.
  • the dust chamber of the vacuum cleaner can be optimally filled.
  • a vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner housing, a dust chamber arranged in the vacuum cleaner housing and a fan arranged adjacent to the dust chamber.
  • a central axis of the fan is arranged obliquely to a bottom of the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • the vacuum cleaner may be a conventional vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface such as a floor surface.
  • the bottom of the Vacuum cleaner housing can be understood during an operation of the vacuum cleaner of the surface to be cleaned facing side of the vacuum cleaner housing.
  • the floor also has the vacuum cleaner rollers that allow the vacuum cleaner to move across the surface.
  • the center axis of the fan is arranged obliquely to the bottom, the fan may be aligned, for example in the direction of a vacuum cleaner cover facing away from the ground with a Saugschlauchanitati for a suction hose, through which flows through the fan sucked air into the dust chamber.
  • a fan-facing wall of the dust chamber may be arranged substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the fan.
  • the dust chamber can also be aligned with the Saugschlauchanitati.
  • an extension of the central axis intersects the Saugschlauchanitati for the suction hose.
  • the fan can be advantageously aligned, for example, directly on the Saugschlauchanitati to allow efficient and energy-efficient air flow.
  • the Saugschlauchanitati is arranged substantially perpendicular to the ground. A coupling of the suction hose is possible on a suction hose connection arranged in the vacuum cleaner cover.
  • the dust chamber, or arranged in the dust chamber vacuum cleaner bag, can be ideally filled by means of the described arrangement of Saugschlauchanitati.
  • the Saugschlauchanitati is arranged substantially extending on an extension of the central axis.
  • the blower is aligned directly with the suction hose connection for efficient and energy-saving airflow.
  • a dust chamber floor of the dust chamber may be arranged according to an embodiment substantially parallel to the ground.
  • a dust space inclined in the direction of the suction hose connection can thus promote a uniform distribution of the absorbed dust in the area of the floor.
  • the dust chamber floor can advantageously not exceed a length of 10 cm, in particular 5 cm, so that the dust chamber can be a total aligned substantially on the Saugschlauchanitati.
  • the fan-facing wall of the dust chamber can connect, which may be inclined relative to the dust chamber floor.
  • the dust chamber floor On one of the first page opposite side of the dust chamber floor may connect another wall of the dust chamber, which may also be inclined relative to the dust chamber floor. In this way, the dust chamber can be formed funnel-shaped, whereby recorded dust can settle well on the dust chamber floor.
  • an angular position between the bottom and the center axis is substantially between 10 ° and 80 °, in particular between 40 ° and 50 °.
  • the angular position described can allow a linear air flow between the blower and arranged on the vacuum cleaner cover or in the region of the vacuum cleaner cover Saugschlauchanitati.
  • the fan may be arranged substantially on an axis of symmetry of the vacuum cleaner housing. If the Saugschlauchanitati is also advantageously arranged on the symmetry axis of the vacuum cleaner housing, dust flowing into the dust chamber can be absorbed evenly in the dust chamber.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a vacuum cleaner 100 according to an embodiment.
  • the vacuum cleaner 100 has a vacuum cleaner housing 105.
  • the vacuum cleaner housing 105 has a bottom 115 of the vacuum cleaner 100 facing a surface to be cleaned and a vacuum cleaner cover 120 arranged opposite the floor 115.
  • a dust chamber 125 and a fan 130 arranged adjacent to the dust chamber 125 is arranged in the vacuum cleaner housing 105.
  • a central axis 132 of the blower 130 is arranged obliquely to a main extension plane of the bottom 115. In this way, the central axis 132 of the fan 130 extends obliquely between the bottom 115 and the vacuum cleaner cover 120th
  • the floor 115 has a plurality of vacuum cleaner rollers 135 for moving the vacuum cleaner 100 over the surface.
  • the vacuum cleaner cover 120 has According to this embodiment, a Saugschlauchanitati 140, passes through the air flowing through a vacuum cleaner hose 145 air 150, shown here with reference to arrows 150, from outside the vacuum cleaner 100 in the dust chamber 125. The air 150 is drawn by the blower 130 into the dust chamber 125.
  • the floor 115 and the vacuum cleaner cover 120 may be realized as rib-reinforced plastic components, as it is based on the FIGS. 4 and 5 is shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a vacuum cleaner 100 according to an embodiment. This can be the basis of FIG. 1 described vacuum cleaner 100, with the difference that the dust chamber 125 according to this embodiment has a parallel to the bottom 115 arranged dust chamber floor 200 and that according to this embodiment dust 205 is disposed within the dust chamber 125.
  • a first side wall 205 and a second side wall 210 of the dust space 125 adjoin the dust space floor 200.
  • the first side wall 205 faces the blower 130 and is arranged at an angle to the dust space floor 200.
  • the first side wall 205 is oriented substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the blower 130.
  • the second side wall 210 is disposed opposite to the first side wall 205 and arranged obliquely to the dust space bottom 200 and obliquely to the first side wall 205.
  • the dust chamber floor 200 is a bottom of a funnel-shaped dust chamber 125.
  • the obliquely arranged to the bottom 115 fan 130 allows a linear and thus energy-saving air flow through the vacuum cleaner 100.
  • the air ducts can be optimally designed.
  • the oblique fan 130 has the consequence that the dust chamber 125 is also inclined at the same angle as the fan 130. This favors a straight air duct through the device in the form of the vacuum cleaner 100.
  • the connection of the vacuum cleaner hose 145 through the suction hose connection 140 is realized on the vacuum cleaner cover 120.
  • the sucked in dust 205 falls according to this embodiment in a bag of the dust chamber 125 to the ground. As a result, a good filling of the bag is to be expected.
  • the angular position of the blower 130 to the bottom 115 is dependent on the position of Saugschlauchanitati 140. Ideally, the center axis of the blower 130 points to the opening of the vacuum cleaner hose 145. For example, an angular position of 45 ° +/- 30 ° is conceivable.
  • a cable drum can also be arranged differently.
  • the fan 130 is disposed close to the base plate in the form of the bottom 115, whereby a clearance above the fan 130, that is, between the fan 130 and the vacuum cleaner cover 120 is disposed. This space can be used for example for the cable drum.
  • the fan 130 is on the line of symmetry of the entire vacuum cleaner 100.
  • hose connection so Saugschlauchanitati 140, dust bag in the dust chamber 125, fan 130 and even an exhaust filter on a line centered in the vacuum cleaner 100.
  • the advantage is the improved air flow. Due to the oblique arrangement, the air is optimally passed through the dust chamber 125, without redirecting them. This results in a higher device efficiency of the vacuum cleaner 100 and a better dust absorption.
  • suction hose connection 140 / dust chamber 125 / fan 130 / cable drum / exhaust air filter lie on the symmetry axis of the vacuum cleaner 100, accessories may for example lie to the right and left of the fan 130 and / or the cable drum.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner 100 according to an embodiment. This can be the basis of FIG. 2 described vacuum cleaner 100 act.
  • the vacuum cleaner hose 140 is coupled to a vacuum cleaner rod 300.
  • An end of the vacuum cleaner rod 300 facing away from the vacuum cleaner hose 145 has a floor nozzle 305 according to this exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner lower shell 400 with a blower 130.
  • the fan 130 is disposed perpendicular to the floor 115. According to the basis of FIG. 1 approach described the fan 130 would be arranged obliquely to the bottom 115.
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner lower shell 400 with a blower 130.
  • the blower 130 is arranged parallel to the floor 115. According to the basis of FIG. 1 approach described the fan 130 would be arranged obliquely to the bottom 115.
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic representation of a vacuum cleaner not according to the present invention, since the central axis of the blower 130 is arranged parallel to the bottom 115. According to the basis of FIG. 1 approach described the fan 130 would be arranged obliquely to the bottom 115. To direct the air 150 through the vacuum cleaner 100, due to the arrangement of the blower 130 shown here, several deflections in the guidance of the air 150 are necessary.
  • the air 150 is introduced into the device in the form of the vacuum cleaner 100 at the front / top, ie in the region of the vacuum cleaner cover 120, distributes itself in the dust chamber 125 and is then "sucked out” again.
  • the air flow is not linear (air inlet through Saugschlauchanitati 140 - dust chamber 125 - blower 130), which increases, for example, the air flow resistance.
  • the airways have extreme deflections, for example, after the fan lying 130 vertically up through the dust cover 120 to flow out again.
  • the necessary redirections of the air 150 are comparatively complicated when the blower 130, as in FIG FIG. 4 shown standing, that is perpendicular to the bottom 115, is arranged.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic representation of a vacuum cleaner 100. This may be the basis of FIG. 6 described vacuum cleaner 100, with the difference that dust 205 is disposed within the dust chamber 125.
  • FIG. 8 shows a schematic representation of a vacuum cleaner 100. This may be the basis of FIG. 7 Vacuum cleaner 100 described, with the difference that the Saugschlauchanitati 140 is disposed in line with the central axis of the blower 130. The Saugschlauchanitati 140 is thus disposed on a front side of the vacuum cleaner 100, parallel to the bottom 115.
