Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner nozzle for vacuum cleaners, in particular a universal floor nozzle for household vacuum cleaners in accordance with “Regulation (EU) No. 666/2013 of the Commission of July 8, 2013 for the implementation of Directive 2009/125 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with a view to laying down ecodesign requirements for vacuum cleaners ”.
- a vacuum cleaner for floor care essentially consists of a flow machine driven by an electric motor to generate a suction air flow, a collecting container for the collected dirt, one or more filters that separate the dirt from the suction air flow, a suction line, whereby the suction line consists of a suction pipe and / or a suction hose, and a vacuum cleaner nozzle, which can be designed, for example, as a so-called hard or smooth floor nozzle, as a carpet floor nozzle or as a combination, universal or hybrid vacuum cleaner nozzle.
- Vacuum cleaners have been known for over 100 years. There are now a large number of vacuum cleaner types, for example wet vacuum cleaners, combined wet and dry vacuum cleaners, cordless or battery-powered vacuum cleaners, robotic vacuum cleaners, industrial vacuum cleaners, central vacuum cleaners, vacuum cleaners for outdoor use, and in some cases a distinction is only made between household vacuum cleaners and commercial vacuum cleaners. Further distinctions are possible, for example between canister and (tubeless) standing vacuum cleaners, whereby these can differ from one another, particularly in terms of their pneumatic effect.
- the above-mentioned ordinance provides, among other things, that the environmental aspects of the products concerned that are relevant for the purposes of this ordinance are energy consumption in the use phase, dust absorption, dust emission, noise level (sound power level) or shelf life and that the power consumption of the products subject to this ordinance can be reduced considerably.
- vacuum cleaners must therefore have a number of performance features. For example, from 2014 the annual energy consumption must be less than 62.0 kWh / year and the nominal power consumption less than 1,600 W, the dust consumption - depending on the type of vacuum cleaner or vacuum cleaner nozzle - must be at least 0.70 on carpets or on hard floors be at least 0.95. From 2017, stricter limit values are to apply in this regard, in addition, the dust emission must not exceed 1.00% and the sound power level must not exceed 80 dB (A) and the motor life of the vacuum cleaner must be at least 500 hours.
- vacuum cleaner nozzles have become known for use on smooth floors and carpets.
- Such vacuum cleaner nozzles consist of a plastic construction which is elongated in the transverse direction to their direction of movement.
- On the front edge of the underside there is usually a brush strip or similar sealing strip which, when extended in the "smooth floor" operating mode, protrudes over the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which is contoured transversely to the direction of movement, by about 1 to 10 mm.
- the opening of the suction space in the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is also referred to as the suction opening or suction groove.
- the opening of the suction space is usually designed as a so-called suction mouth with contoured working edges protruding from the underside, which comparatively points to the function of the suction mouth in animals with haematophagous predisposition that suck on other animals to eat.
- Floor nozzles known from practice are designed in this way.
- the suction groove or the suction mouth runs practically over the entire width or transverse length of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and is limited, for example, at the side ends by a side wall or a structural part of the vacuum cleaner nozzle against the vacuum cleaner nozzle exterior and at least to form a sealing frame or a frame seal partially mechanically or pneumatically sealed.
- the width of the suction groove or suction opening forming the suction space of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is around 2 cm in the vicinity of the central longitudinal axis of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and can decrease to a smaller value towards the side ends.
- the boundary edge or working edge of the groove can be designed with a relatively sharp edge or it protrudes in its function as an edge seal in the direction of the floor surface from the subfloor surface, the transition from the subfloor level or the base of the brush strip to the boundary edge of the groove or the edge seal of the suction space is designed as an incline or in a convex shell shape.
- thread lifters are also arranged, for example, on one or two delimiting edges.
- Thread lifters then have the task of mechanically transporting textile fibers or long flaars to the suction opening or to the suction mouth opening by moving the vacuum cleaner nozzle back and forth in order to position them so that they can be absorbed.
- further brush strips or movable or elastically deformable sealing lips can be arranged as additional mechanical or pneumatic sealing elements of the sealing frame.
- Vacuum cleaner nozzles are known as floor nozzles and are connected to the suction tube via a swivel / tilt joint or the like.
- rollers or wheels are usually arranged which support the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle at a defined distance from the floor plane or surface of the smooth floor.
- the brush strip on the front is extended and supports the vacuum cleaner nozzle against the floor level.
- the vacuum cleaner nozzle slides on the bristle tips over hard and / or smooth floor covering.
- the brush strip keeps the boundary edges of the suction space at a clearance of about 1 to 2 mm from the floor surface.
- the boundary edges of the suction space with the side walls thus form an annular seal around the suction space with a defined passage cross-sectional area for the sucked in ambient air, with an additionally arranged sealing strip or sealing lip at least partially reducing the passage cross-section and thus the effectively let through ambient air also by the degree or type of air permeability of the brush strip or ring seal should further reduce.
- the flat or curved slope of the boundary surface of the suction mouth works together with the surface of the floor like an air funnel or, like the conical convergent part of a nozzle construction, acts as a confuser.
- the turbulent suction air flow thus reaches its greatest flow velocities at the working edge of the suction mouth or directly at the groove opening of the suction chamber.
- the brush strip should be retracted in the "Carpet" operating mode. This changes the front support of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the floor level or on the ground level of the carpet. At the same time, the rollers or wheels sink into the carpet surface to a base level to an extent that is dependent on the length or rigidity of the carpet pile or fabric. As a result, the working edge or boundary edge of the suction space or the suction opening coincides with the more or less diffuse surface of the carpet or the surface of the carpet, which is greatly enlarged by carpet pile or fabric texture, and seals the suction space more or less completely against the suction air stream flowing in from the outside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle above the carpet.
- the vacuum cleaner nozzle can slide over the carpet on a relatively large sliding sole or on a smooth underbody contour and thus additionally seals the underbody of the vacuum cleaner nozzle against the groove opening of the suction chamber.
- the lack of air flow on the top of the carpet creates a stronger vacuum in the suction space.
- the pressure equalization should then take place predominantly by means of a flow through the carpet fabric from below through the groove opening of the suction space sealed within the boundary edge.
- known vacuum cleaner nozzles or carpet floor nozzles with a suction mouth therefore more or less suck themselves to the carpet.
- secondary air openings or easier continuous flow paths are arranged in the area of the side ends of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which increase the outside air supply to the suction space above the carpet surface and also reduce excessive resistance to movement due to the vacuum effect of the floor nozzle.
- any known type of secondary air supplied is disadvantageously not effective, or only effective to a small extent, for picking up dust from a carpet pile or from another flat surface.
- a major disadvantage of known carpet vacuum cleaner nozzles is, for example, that the carpet fabric can only be captured by the suction air flow or suction that is effective for cleaning in the area of the suction mouth or the groove opening of the suction space, and the cleaning result is therefore basically mainly from the suction that can be achieved by the turbomachine and depends on the air permeability of the carpet fabric.
- the aforementioned brush strips under vacuum cleaner nozzles can be disadvantageous when used for a long time.
- plastic brushes or plastic bristles tend to fray after a relatively short period of use and as a result of the increase in brush volume, the pneumatic or aerodynamic properties also change, for example air permeability through the gaps between the brushes or between the bristles or brush filaments.
- the bristle tips can deform over time due to ground friction.
- the bristles either bend plastically or are plastically compressed or flattened as a result of abrasion. In any case, such effects can be perceived on an increasingly denser and smoother appearing contact surface of the brush with the floor. Dust, sticky dirt, hair, fibers or all kinds of animal or animal food residues are disadvantageously caught in brush strips.
- house dust or house dirt consists of artificial or natural fibers or of organic or inorganic particles.
- House dust particles that can be picked up by vacuum cleaner nozzles are at least as large and heavy that they can affect household furnishings or remove floors from the moving or still air in the room and accumulate a loose layer of dust. In practice, this creates a dust mixture of different fiber dusts and particles.
- the advantages of such dust accumulations are, for example, that larger dust particles or fibers can bind much smaller particles that would otherwise be whirled up again by slight air movements. It was also observed that the mobility of silverfish can be restricted by soil dust. They do not starve to death, but their migration or reproduction may be restricted.
- Natural quartz sand is problematic for smooth floors such as laminate or parquet, which is often found as a component of sandy or loamy floors and is introduced, for example, in the profile of shoe soles or over the paws of pets in households.
- natural quartz sand grains up to a certain grain size are hardly recognizable on similarly colored floor coverings and should be quickly and safely picked up by vacuum cleaner nozzles because of their aggressiveness or abrasive effect.
- grains of quartz sand do not adhere sufficiently to the cleaning rag despite moisture and can therefore only be absorbed by the floor with difficulty when wiping with a damp cloth or cleaning with cleaning rags.
- house dust is made up of synthetic or natural fibers, pollen, fine dust, hair, lint, threads, fiber debris from household textiles or clothing, or other very light inorganic or organic dusts, aggregated dust accumulations, also known as "bunnies” or “Lurche” known.
- aggregated dust accumulations also known as "bunnies” or “Lurche” known.
- the problem of frictional suction or suction is that at least a certain amount of length has to get into the suction air flow in order to effect a sufficiently high tensile force on the hair via the generated air resistance at the end of the hair, so that the hair is removed from the floor covering its entire length to be able to solve. It also depends on the position of the hair on the ground whether a loose end of the hair or a bay or loop in the hair can be caught by the suction.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an inexpensive to manufacture and easy-to-clean vacuum cleaner nozzle for vacuum cleaners, with which vacuuming in private households is facilitated and with which, in particular, the problematic types of household dirt such as quartz sand grains, long hair and bugs are vacuumed up safely, quickly and in a resource-saving manner can be.
- Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment for a flow device according to the invention as part of a floor nozzle in a schematic sectional or elevational view, the height ratios being defined by the position of the ground plane GE and the outside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle being represented by the atmospheric air pressure PO.
- the direction of movement of a dirt particle or grain of sand (2) also shown is shown by its indicated flow path as a dashed arrow line.
- FIG. 2 shows a bottom view, which roughly corresponds to FIG. 1, of a section delimited by the planes SEI to SE4 from a vacuum cleaner nozzle or a flow element, the section planes SEI and SE2 being intended to run transversely to the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, the section plane SEI partially being a Touches the outer surface of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, the plane SE2 partially intersects the vacuum cleaner nozzle or the flow element in the suction space SR, the planes SE3 and SE4 should run parallel to the main direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, and the plane SE4 roughly corresponds to the plane of view in FIG. 1 and should run closer to the central longitudinal axis of the vacuum cleaner nozzle in the direction of movement than the plane SE3.
- a fundamental difference between the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle and known vacuum cleaner nozzles is that the designs of known vacuum cleaner nozzles are more or less air-impermeable frame sealing structures, in which the suction force of the vacuum cleaner is used to generate an incomplete vacuum and in or on the leakage points of the sealing strips, Brush strips, suction mouth work strips or secondary air openings, unsteady air currents or chaotic air vortices are generated and are intended to act on dirt particles on the floor surface, whereas the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle can generate its cleaning effect from a fast, stationary and essentially completely laminar air flow.
- the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle therefore advantageously uses the suction of a fast laminar air flow in a flat, planar flow guide, which is permanently acting on a dirt particle.
- the proposed flow device also uses the operating principle of a Venturi tube or atomizer with a minimum clear line duct cross-sectional height or cross-sectional area that is essentially constant over the length L, in which the rapid surface laminar or cross-sectional area.
- Floor-parallel air flow can cause an additional suction perpendicular or transversely to the main flow direction and thus also the effective cleaning flow through a carpet from bottom to top.
- the flow through the carpet can then advantageously be brought about over the entire effective area of the air flow parallel to or surface-laminar to the duct surface.
- Decisive for a good suction performance of a vacuum cleaner is not only the suction force, i.e. the effectiveness of the turbomachine that creates a negative pressure, but also an air flow speed that is as effective as possible for cleaning along the entire transport or flow path of a dirt particle from its rest position on the floor or in the carpet pile to its deposition Dirt collector.
- the task of the vacuum cleaner nozzle is to initially accelerate relatively heavy dirt particles, for example grains of sand, out of their rest position without contact and then to convey them safely and quickly to an air flow suitable for further transport.
- the proposed flow element represents a substantially floor-parallel, flat flow conductor, which is formed on its underside by the horizontally immovable surface of the floor and on its upper side by the surface of the underside of the underbody section of the moving vacuum cleaner nozzle, which is substantially flat or parallel to the floor in the direction of flow, and Dirt particles detachable from the surface to be extracted are accelerated and transported within the flow guide.
- the necessary expansions of the flow element are defined with the effective clear height z and the effective length L in the direction of flow.
- a plurality of flow organs according to the invention can be arranged under a vacuum cleaner nozzle as line sections with the same or different dimensions, the expansions of different line sections of one or more flow elements merging continuously or discontinuously into one another or being separated from one another.
- the direction and speed of the air flow can advantageously be influenced by the arrangement, expansion or configuration of flow organ sections.
- the grain of sand can namely be captured by a sufficiently fast and sustained air flow.
- the proposed flow element In contrast to the generation of air vortices or blasts of air that only act locally or extremely briefly, the proposed flow element generates a quasi-stationary air flow of a defined duration when the vacuum cleaner nozzle passes over a static grain of sand. It then depends on the size, inertia or shape of the grain of sand, how great the flow speed of the air suction and the duration of the action of the air flow must be advantageous in order to move the grain of sand from rest or to accelerate it to a certain speed, the duration of action in turn from the effective length L of the flow element and the speed at which the vacuum cleaner nozzle passes over the grain of sand.
- the achievable speed or acceleration of the grain of sand then depends on how quickly and safely the grain of sand can be fed to a sufficiently fast transport air flow of the vacuum cleaner or a collecting container.
- the effective length L of the flow element can advantageously be made shorter, since the direction of the resulting suction air flow tends to run more transversely to the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner and the grain of sand can thus remain in the effective area of the flow element or air duct section for longer. It is then sufficient that the grain of sand can be grasped by another subsection of the flow organ with a longer exposure time.
- the action time of the flow element on a grain of sand is shorter, for example, if, when the vacuum cleaner nozzle moves forwards, the suction air stream with a dust or sand combination flows from the outside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle backwards into the suction chamber of the vacuum cleaner nozzle.
- the exposure time is longer for the same length L if a grain of sand is initially at rest below the suction opening and is to be accelerated in the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle towards the suction opening of the vacuum cleaner nozzle when the flow element passes over the grain of sand and the floor surface.
- the influence of the direction of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the acceleration of a grain of sand is smaller, the greater the speed of the effective suction air flow in or on the flow element, the longer the period of time in which the flow element can act on the grain of sand, the lower the ratio of the amounts of travel or movement speed of the vacuum cleaner nozzle to the flow speed of the suction air flow or the greater the effective length L of the flow element along the flow path of the sand or dust particle is or under the condition that essentially quasi-stationary flow conditions with sufficient air flow velocities prevail within the flow element or in the suction air channel formed over the duration of action.
- the greatest possible flow velocity is established in the air duct of the flow element when the greatest possible air pressure difference is present between open line ends and the line cross-section is as small as possible.
- the open line or channel cross-section is initially only represented or defined by the effective height z.
- the mean flow velocity of the air through the flow element or the air duct is smaller, the smaller the effective height z is, the smaller the effective height z is, given the same pressure conditions outside and inside the vacuum cleaner nozzle with the same long flow path or effective length L of the flow duct.
- a smaller clear height z and a larger effective length L seals the suction space of the vacuum cleaner nozzle aerodynamically better against the pressure equalization from atmospheric overpressure.
- the effective length L is greater than the effective clear height z of the flow channel, the length L preferably being many times greater than the at least partially effectively constant height z of the clear channel cross section along the flow path.
- the flow velocity of a stationary air flow in such a flat air duct is not constant over the entire clear duct height.
- the air is slowed down as a result of wall friction, whereas the air flow is faster in the central interior of the duct.
- the speed gradient depends on the air density and the internal friction of the air particles. The longer and narrower the channel, the lower the mean flow velocity in the channel and the lower the volume flow through the channel.
- this effect can be used to advantage in order to control the mean speed in the flow organ by selecting the effective length L and the effective headroom z in such a way that, with a defined pressure gradient, a certain volume flow of the suction air flow is between atmospheric outside to the suction opening or to the suction chamber of the vacuum cleaner nozzle with the static negative pressure or dynamic air suction generated by the vacuum cleaner.
- this effect can be used in that, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the minimum height z is greater than would be required for the passage or rolling through of the grain of sand and, at the same time, the roughness of the surface of the sub-floor by a Selects a suitable coating or profiling so that the micro-vortex formation limited to a certain distance from the surface slows down the air layers close to the surface and thus the amount of air that cannot be used for the acceleration of sand grains remains as low as possible in the total volume flow through the flow organ. In that case, the air originally flowing in a laminar manner along the surface of the sub-floor can only be slowed down to a limited layer thickness.
- the mean flow velocity or the magnitude of the volume flow in the air duct can be reduced on average. This in turn makes it possible to select the clear height z of the flow element larger and still reduce the total air volume flow through the flow element, for example to maintain a higher air pressure potential at the inlet and outlet of the flow element.
- the action of the air flow on a grain of sand moving on the ground surface is particularly effective when as little air as possible can flow relatively ineffectively over the grain of sand.
- the air flow can have an advantageous effect on the grain of sand if the effective clear height z of the flow element is as little as possible greater than the largest possible grain of sand to be sucked up, but is so large that the surface structure or roughness of the surface of the flow element does not slow down the grain of sand again becomes.
- the grain of sand itself moves mainly close to the floor due to its own weight, but can use the clear channel height gained to overcome obstacles such as uneven joints in stone tiles, parquet or laminate unevenness or carpeting, without being slowed down by excessive collision with the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle especially if the directions of movement of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and the grain of sand are opposite.
- the dimensions of the sub-floor or the flow element and the air velocities along the flow path of a dirt particle are chosen so that quartz sand grains are aerodynamically accelerated from their rest position and can be moved to a sufficiently strong transport air flow from the vacuum cleaner nozzle or the vacuum cleaner.
- additional stabilizers are arranged on the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle or on the flow element.
- Stabilizers according to the invention are also advantageously suitable for dividing the underside of the vacuum cleaner nozzle into structurally separate flow elements. With the arrangement of several and different line sections it is advantageously possible to control the overall pressure and flow conditions of the suction air flow to the suction space or within the suction space of a vacuum cleaner nozzle.
- Stabilizers according to the invention can also advantageously be constructed as basically known skids or in combination with rollers. Tests with a simple vacuum cleaner nozzle modified according to the invention show that one and the same vacuum cleaner nozzle works advantageously on smooth or hard floors and on carpeting without switching a mechanism and has low resistance to movement, with the stabilizers being designed as narrow skids in the width and thickness of known cable ties .
- rollers or runners be arranged as stabilizers within or on the vacuum cleaner nozzle structure so that they can be moved in height.
- additional electrical or mechanical devices it is then possible to determine the distance between the underside of the construction and the floor covering surface and thus the to set the effective height z of the flat flow channel in such a way that the volume flow of the suction air flow according to the invention or the air pressure difference can assume a level that is advantageous for the desired cleaning result.
- suction when suctioning air-permeable membranes according to the invention, suction also arises as a result of the Venturi effect, as in an air pressure gauge or an elongated Venturi tube with suction line and thus an additional suction air flow in the area of action of the flow element according to the invention from bottom to top.
- the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle is in principle also advantageously suitable for vacuuming upholstery or soft textile floor coverings.
- the proposed arrangement of the stabilizers according to the invention then advantageously has the effect that, in the event of bulging due to the Venturi effect in the air duct according to the invention, a minimum clear height z of the flow element is at least partially maintained and the surface of the soft soil is advantageously sucked off at the soil surface and, at the same time, a lower resistance to movement of the nozzle construction the floor covering or upholstery can be effected.
- the membrane formed from the soft floor covering can be air-permeable or, as in the case of a cushion covered with a friction-sensitive leather, practically air-impermeable. In both cases, the surface for suction air overflow is at least partially kept free and removeable dirt can be sucked safely and quickly from the surface.
- the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle it is thus advantageously possible to vacuum up hard and compact grains of sand, very light and voluminous bubbly and long hair quickly and safely, even under difficult conditions, without detrimentally contaminating parts of the vacuum cleaner nozzle or damaging sensitive surfaces mechanically or through pollution.
- the proposed vacuum cleaner nozzle can advantageously also be used without moving parts on all types of upholstery, floors or floor coverings.
