Definitions

• the present invention generally relates to a dust recovery device of a vacuum cleaner, in particular for a cyclonic vacuum cleaner, otherwise known as bagless vacuum cleaner.
• the waste recovery device includes a dust bowl capped by a lid that the user can open to empty the bowl.
• this system has the disadvantage of requiring manipulation of the device with both hands to unlock and open the lid, which affects the ergonomics of use because the user can no longer simultaneously open a trash to empty it dust, for example.
• An object of the present invention is to meet the drawbacks of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to provide a dust recovery device of a vacuum cleaner that is easy to manipulate. one hand, even to cause the opening of the lid, without risk of having an inadvertent opening of the lid that would lead to spread dust out of the recovery device and before they are dumped in a trash.
• a first aspect of the invention relates to a device for collecting dust from a vacuum cleaner comprising:
• a handle a lid movable between a first closed position of the storage bowl and a second open position of the storage bowl,
• the device comprises:
• a control button locking means arranged to be actuated with a finger of a hand that grips the handle, to unlock the locking means.
• the device according to this implementation comprises locking means, which prevents any inadvertent opening of the cover, but the control of these locking means (the control button) is arranged near the handle, so that the Actuation can be done with a finger of the hand holding the handle.
• the control button is arranged near the handle, so that the Actuation can be done with a finger of the hand holding the handle.
• the device comprises elastic means arranged to exert a constant force on the lid to move it to the second open position, thus allowing the lid to be automatically changed from the first closed position to the second position when the control button is pressed.
• the opening of the lid is caused by the elastic means (a spring for example), so it is automatic is further improves the ergonomics of use.
• the device comprises means for hinging the lid with respect to the storage bowl, arranged on a first side of the storage bowl, and the locking means are arranged on one side of the storage bowl opposite the first one. side. The forces exerted on the locking means are limited because the lever arm is increased by arranging the hinge on the opposite side, which decreases the reaction force to be applied to the opening torque which is constant.
• the locking means comprise:
• one of the latch or lock is a moving part arranged to be controlled by the control button.
• the moving part simplifies the design of the device.
• the moving part is embedded on the cover. The construction of the bowl is simplified with this implementation.
• the moving part comprises elastic return means arranged to exert a constant locking force on the locking means. This implementation ensures a good reliability of the locking means which are thus constantly pushed into the locking position.
• the lid includes an inlet section
• the movable piece includes an opening that surrounds the inlet section.
• the structure of the device is simplified.
• the moving part is slidably mounted on the lid.
• the handling handle is arranged on the first side of the storage bowl.
• the opening is towards the user, which avoids projecting dust on the latter.
• the hinge means form a pivot joint.
• a second aspect of the invention is a vacuum cleaner comprising at least one recovery device according to the first aspect of the invention.
• FIG. 1 represents a storage bowl 10 composed of a tank 1 1 and a bowl belt 12 attached to the tank 1 1.
• the storage bowl 10 has an upper opening which is closed by a cover 30.
• the cover 30 comprises in particular a frame 31 which supports a moving part 32.
• the frame 31 comprises two lugs 33 which are arranged to engage in two orifices 45 of the tank 1 1, to form a pivot articulation of the cover 30 with respect to the storage bowl 10.
• the device comprises a spring 51 which exerts a constant force on the lid 30 to force it to open.
• a handling handle 20 is attached to the storage bowl 10 and consists of a handle body 22 and a handle top 21.
• the lid 30 is thus rotatable relative to the storage bowl 10, between a first closed position of the storage bowl 10 and a second open position of the storage bowl 10.
• dust it is important to ensure that the lid 30 remains in the first closed position of the storage bowl 10, as the contents of the latter is not ready to be emptied in a bin for example.
• the dust recovery device comprises locking means 40 formed by a latch 42 in the form of a hook and a striker 41.
• the latch 42 is located on the moving part 32, and the latch 41 is a recess formed in the bowl belt 12.
• the locking means 40 make it possible to lock the lid 30 in the first closed position of the storage bowl 10.
• a control button 43 is arranged on the handle 20, and this control button 43 is arranged to control the unlocking of the locking means 40, by a control on the workpiece mobile 32.
• the latter is movably mounted relative to the frame 31, in a slide connection.
• the control button 43 comprises a lug 43a which can push a key 32a of the moving part 32, when the control button 43 is depressed by the user. Under this thrust, the movable piece 32 slides in the frame 31, so that the latch 42 disengages from the striker 41, so that the lid automatically goes into the second open position of the storage bowl 10, under the force exerted by the spring 51.
• the lid is unlocked and allows emptying the contents of the storage bowl with one hand.
• the recovery device comprises a spring 44 which pushes the button 43 to the initial position
• the movable part 32 comprises two elastic tabs 32b which also push the latch 42 in the position where it is engaged with strike 41.
