Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning tool for floor surfaces, upholstery surfaces or the like, in particular, a vacuum cleaning tool for vacuum cleaning devices such as a vacuum cleaner.
  • the cleaning tool is comprised of a housing having a working chamber whose bottom plate comprises a suction slot that extends transversely to the working direction of the cleaning tool and is designed for taking up dirt.
  • the cleaning tool further comprises a forwardly facing housing end wall provided with a receptacle for an illumination element for illuminating the surface to be cleaned, wherein the illumination element is arranged behind a light-permeable cover.
  • the illumination element is a cold light emitting cold light lamp.
  • the illumination element is a cold light lamp that emits cold light and therefore has only minimal heat development. In this way, it becomes possible to arrange the cold light lamp in a substantially closed housing so that soiling by means of dirt particles or dust particles entrained in the sucked-in vacuum flow is prevented.
  • the cold light lamp is resistant to strong mechanical impacts because no filament is present. Despite of this, it provides a bright glistening light that ensures a uniform strong illumination of the working area.
  • the cold light lamp is a cold cathode lamp that has a rod-shaped basic form and ensures, when arranged transversely to the working direction, an excellent illumination of the working area across the working width. It can also be expedient to provide the cold light lamp in the form of several ultra bright LEDs (light emitting diodes) wherein the LEDs have a luminous power of at least 2,000 mcd (millicandela), preferably more than 5,000 mcd, and have a radiation angle of 20 degrees to 30 degrees.
  • ultra bright LEDs light emitting diodes
  • the cold light lamp is arranged on a printed circuit board support and the printed circuit board support together with a casing and a cover that is advantageously embodied as a lens form a module.

  • the contact elements and the voltage connector are advantageously designed as a plug connection wherein one part of the plug connection is provided at the printed circuit board support and the other part of the plug connection is arranged behind the back wall in the housing.
  • the illumination module is therefore secured mechanically safely within the receptacle of the housing by means of the snap connection as well as by means of the plug connection.
  • brush rollers are supported at their ends by means of substantially circular disk shaped support plates in the housing wherein the bearing shaft ends of the brush roller engage the support plates and the support plates, in turn, are received in a substantially rectangular bearing receptacle of the housing.
  • the width of the bearing receptacle is matched approximately to the diameter of the support plate.
  • the bearing plate is comprised of an elastic material, preferably of a soft-elastic material, particularly rubber, so that the manufacturing and mounting tolerances can be compensated easily without this having an effect on the support action of the brush roller.
  • the vacuum connector is provided with a housing section through which an electrical connecting cable can be supplied.
  • the connecting cable is in particular guided in the pivot axis of the vacuum connector for which purpose bearing pins of the vacuum connector are hollow, in particular, they are configured as tubular pins. The cable can thus be guided through the bearing pins directly into the housing or the motor chamber of the housing in order to be connected to a connector module.
