Definitions
- the invention relates to a floor care nozzle, and to a vacuum cleaner provided with such a floor care nozzle.
- Some floor care nozzles appear to produce an audible rattle when used on certain carpets.
- the invention is based on the following insights.
- the disturbing phenomenon when using prior art nozzles exposes itself as a vertical oscillation of the nozzle head during backwards stroke in a single hinge nozzle, or a hopping behavior in double-hinge nozzles.
- the mass of the nozzle itself does have no effect on this phenomenon, and that the frequency of the nozzle is dependent on the height of the jumps (or starting vertical velocity). It also appeared that (in combination with the increasing vertical impulse with every jump) the nozzle will tend to start out with a high frequency jump with just small jumping height, but will quickly move to high jumps with a low frequency. Based on these considerations, the invention is based on the insight that by counteracting the high frequency, low amplitude jumps at the beginning of the movement of the nozzle, it becomes possible to prevent the high jumps, low frequency motion from occurring later on.
- the main element to prevent this high frequency motion from occurring is a free mass movable with a vertical motion component while being contained within the nozzle.
- GB 910,697 discloses a suction cleaner nozzle having a beating device comprising a plurality of beating elements adapted to beat surfaces, particularly carpets, over which the suction cleaners are to work in order to loosen particles of dust, threads and the like from the surfaces, the beating elements consisting of rubber strips arranged parallel to one another in side by side relationship across the mouth of the nozzle, each element being closely adjacent a neighboring element, some of the beating elements being further away from the mouth of the nozzle than others, the arrangement being such that the elements oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the rim of the mouth of the nozzle when air is sucked through the nozzle.
- This prior art document does not provide a solution for the rattling sound in nozzles that do not have such a carpet beating device, and the present invention differs from this prior art nozzle in that the motion of the movable mass is contained within the nozzle housing.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the phenomenon addressed by the invention
- Fig. 2 illustrates the principle underlying the invention
- Figs. 3A-3C and 4 show embodiments of the invention.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the phenomenon addressed by the invention, by showing 4 sequential phases in the movement of a nozzle when dragged backwards (dragging force on a carpet.
- the first picture shows an impulse force Fi mp (e.g. caused by an unevenness in the carpet), which results in an upwards movement of the nozzle that is shown in the second picture.
- Fi mp e.g. caused by an unevenness in the carpet
- the increased impulse force Fi mp shown in the third picture will result in an ever higher jump as shown in the last picture.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the principle underlying the invention. The following steps can be identified.
- Step 1 The vacuum force F vac and gravity force Fgr av want to keep the nozzle to the ground.
- the nozzle mass M and the free mass m are launched into the air by an
- Step 2 Nozzle & free mass fly through the air together, and experience mainly the gravitational force F grav .
- Step 3 When the nozzle gets closer to the ground, it will experience the vacuum force F vac again, which pulls it down faster.
- the free mass m inside the nozzle does not experience this vacuum, hence it starts lagging behind in motion, creating a gap between the nozzle and the free mass m.
- Step 4 After touchdown of the nozzle, the nozzle is launched back into the air again by the carpet force Imp, but quite early meets the free mass m, which was still on its way down.
- Step 5 The collision between the nozzle and the free mass m will send the nozzle back to the ground again. In this way, the amplitude of the nozzle movement is kept small, hence the kinetic energy the free mass needs to have can remain quite small (since it only has to dampen out small oscillations of the nozzle).
- the free masses m can be incorporated in the nozzle, without the user ever having to see them (invisible).
- the free masses m are relatively simple to build into the nozzle.
- the mass can be very small in comparison with the nozzle.
- the mass can a solid or liquid form.
- the containment of the liquid should be secured.
- the main advantage is that the element size is rather small and best reacts on impulses. When applying a liquid, the viscosity can be of influence.
- steel spheres or rods are used as free mass m, which have a solid structure that is easier to contain in position within a nozzle housing construction.
- the element size does not seem to be very relevant.
- the dynamic behavior is approximately the same in large or small members. Tests have been performed with 4 relatively big steel spheres (diameter 12 mm, and total weight 27 g), and with about 90 small steel spheres (diameter 3 mm, and same total weight 27 g). Both have equal performance. Therefore, from a logistic and assembly point of view, the preference is to use a relatively low number (e.g. 3 or 4) of relatively large free masses m.
- Fig. 3A shows an embodiment of a nozzle in accordance with the invention, in which HS indicates a nozzle housing HS.
- a disadvantage of the free masses is that these can rattle when they move within their containers.
- Another solution could be to encapsulate the mass objects themselves in a damping layer such as rubber, as shown in Fig. 3B.
- the most optimal and economic execution could be to use a steel cylinder as mass m.
- the benefit of this steel cylinder is that the top and bottom surfaces are flat, and these surfaces can be equipped with a very thin layer of absorbing material DE to reduce the audible effect of the free masses m colliding with the plastic nozzle housing parts, as shown in Fig. 3C.
- containers C are provided, within which a free mass m can be positioned.
- the containers C have a cylinder shape.
- the shape of the free masses m to be put into cylindrical mass containers C can be a cylinder or a sphere.
- the top cover can seal the compartment, securing that the free mass m will always stay in place.
- the number of containers C is at least one, and preferably varies between 3 and 6, depending on the applied masses or total weight.
- the containers C do not move within the nozzle housing, and the masses m move within the containers C without touching the floor. Within these boundaries, the containers C do not need to be fully closed; it may be possible for a user to see the mass(es) m.
- the invention provides a floor care nozzle comprising a nozzle housing HS, within which a mass m is vertically movable.
- the nozzle housing HS is provided with a damping element DE at a place where the mass m collides with the nozzle housing HS, or the mass m is provided with a damping element DE.
- a total weight of the mass m is at least about 10% of a weight of the nozzle.
- the mass m comprises a plurality of masses m distributed over a width of the nozzle housing HS, wherein the number of masses m could be at least 3 and at most 6.
- the nozzle housing HS comprises a plurality of containers C in which respective masses m can move, which are advantageously placed at a front end of the nozzle housing HS. No air is needed to make the masses move; the masses are set in motion by sudden (vertical) motions of the nozzle. The sole purpose of the masses is to counteract this vertical dynamic behavior of the nozzle.
- a vacuum cleaner is advantageously provided with the nozzle of the present invention.
- the mass m should be allowed to move with a vertical motion component.
- the mass m moves vertically.
- deviations from a purely vertical movement are perfectly possible (and even desired if this results in making the container C better fit in within a desired overall outer shape of the nozzle design), as long as it is ensured that the mass m is able to counteract undesired movements of the nozzle, i.e. the movement of the mass m has a sufficiently large component in a direction of an undesired movement of the nozzle.
- the mass m could be mounted to an arm that may rotate around e.g.
- the hinge H this will still result in that the mass m can move with a vertical motion component so as to counteract undesired movements of the nozzle.
- a rotating movement of the mass m may be the best way to counteract a hopping undesired movement of a double-hinge nozzle.
