DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
TITRE : Aspirateur traîneau comprenant une poignée de préhension équipée d’une télécommande TITLE: Canister vacuum cleaner including a grip handle equipped with a remote control
Domaine technique Technical area
[0001] La présente invention se rapporte plus particulièrement aux aspirateurs domestiques de type traîneaux permettant d’aspirer des poussières et des déchets présents sur une surface à nettoyer, qui peut par exemple être du carrelage, du parquet, du stratifié, de la moquette ou un tapis. The present invention relates more particularly to domestic vacuum cleaners of the sled type making it possible to suck up dust and waste present on a surface to be cleaned, which can for example be tiling, parquet, laminate, carpet or a carpet.
[0002] Dans la présente description, par aspirateur de type traineau, il est fait référence à un aspirateur pouvant se déplacer en roulant sur le sol par exemple à l’aide de roues ou roulettes lorsque l’aspirateur est en situation d’usage. Dans un aspirateur traineau, un suceur d’aspiration est généralement connecté à un boîtier d’aspirateur via un tube d’aspiration qui est rigide et un tuyau d’aspiration qui est flexible. Lors d’une opération de nettoyage, l’utilisateur d’un aspirateur traineau tient le suceur d’aspiration via une poignée de préhension fixée au tube d’aspiration. Un boîtier d’aspirateur d’un aspirateur traineau est généralement tiré par l’utilisateur via la poignée de préhension et le tuyau d’aspiration, ce mode de déplacement est à l’origine de l’appellation « aspirateur traineau ». L’appellation aspirateur traineau couvre aussi des aspirateurs à roues ou roulettes motorisés et capables de suivre les déplacements du suceur d’aspiration, de la poignée de préhension ou de l’utilisateur. In the present description, by sled-type vacuum cleaner, reference is made to a vacuum cleaner that can move by rolling on the ground, for example using wheels or rollers when the vacuum cleaner is in use. In a canister vacuum, a suction nozzle is usually connected to a vacuum canister via a suction tube which is rigid and a suction hose which is flexible. During a cleaning operation, the user of a canister vacuum cleaner holds the suction nozzle via a grip handle attached to the suction tube. A vacuum cleaner housing of a sled vacuum cleaner is generally pulled by the user via the grip handle and the suction pipe, this mode of movement is at the origin of the name "sled vacuum cleaner". The term sled vacuum cleaner also covers vacuum cleaners with motorized wheels or casters capable of following the movements of the suction nozzle, the grip handle or the user.
Etat de la technique State of the art
[0003] Le document DE29825019 divulgue un aspirateur de type traineau comprenant : [0003] Document DE29825019 discloses a sled-type vacuum cleaner comprising:
- un boîtier d’aspirateur, - a vacuum cleaner box,
- un embout d’aspiration disposé sur le boîtier d’aspirateur et par lequel de l’air transportant des déchets peut être aspiré dans le boîtier d’aspirateur,
- un moteur d’aspiration qui est disposé dans le boîtier d’aspirateur et qui est configuré pour générer un flux d’air au travers de l’embout d’aspiration, - a suction nozzle disposed on the vacuum cleaner housing and through which waste-carrying air can be sucked into the vacuum cleaner housing, - a suction motor which is arranged in the vacuum cleaner housing and which is configured to generate an air flow through the suction nozzle,
- un tube d’aspiration relié fluidiquement à l’embout d’aspiration, - a suction tube fluidly connected to the suction nozzle,
- une poignée de préhension fixée au tube d’aspiration et configurée pour être saisie par un utilisateur, - a gripping handle fixed to the suction tube and configured to be gripped by a user,
- une télécommande fixée de manière amovible à la poignée de préhension et configurée pour émettre des signaux de commande, et - a remote control removably attached to the grip handle and configured to emit control signals, and
- un dispositif de commande prévu dans ou sur le boîtier d’aspirateur, le dispositif de commande étant configuré pour recevoir les signaux de commande émis par la télécommande et pour commander le fonctionnement du moteur d’aspiration en fonction des signaux de commande reçus par le dispositif de commande. - a control device provided in or on the vacuum cleaner housing, the control device being configured to receive the control signals transmitted by the remote control and to control the operation of the suction motor according to the control signals received by the control device.
[0004] La télécommande d’un tel aspirateur comporte plus particulièrement deux bras de retenue qui sont configurés pour s’étendre chacun sur une portion de la circonférence externe de la poignée de préhension et pour enserrer la poignée de préhension. Une telle configuration des bras de retenue permet à un utilisateur de pouvoir détacher la télécommande de la poignée de préhension. [0004] The remote control of such a vacuum cleaner more particularly comprises two retaining arms which are each configured to extend over a portion of the outer circumference of the grip handle and to grip the grip handle. Such a configuration of the retaining arms allows a user to be able to detach the remote control from the grip handle.
[0005] Une telle fixation de la télécommande sur la poignée de préhension a toutefois pour inconvénient majeur que la télécommande est susceptible d’entrer en collision avec un obstacle lors de la manipulation de la poignée de préhension par l’utilisateur pendant une phase de nettoyage d’un sol et également lorsque l’aspirateur est entreposé par l’utilisateur par exemple dans un emplacement dédié. Une telle collision peut nuire à l’intégrité de la télécommande, mais également induire une séparation de la télécommande et de la poignée de préhension et donc une perte de la télécommande. [0005] Such attachment of the remote control to the grip handle, however, has the major drawback that the remote control is likely to collide with an obstacle when the user manipulates the grip handle during a cleaning phase. of a floor and also when the vacuum cleaner is stored by the user, for example in a dedicated location. Such a collision can damage the integrity of the remote control, but also lead to a separation of the remote control and the grip handle and therefore a loss of the remote control.
Résumé de l’invention Summary of the invention

[0062] La télécommande 14 comporte également un émetteur (non visible sur les figures), tel qu’un émetteur d’ondes radioélectriques, configuré pour émettre des signaux de commande en direction du dispositif de commande 6, qui est prévue dans le boîtier d’aspirateur 2, lorsque les boutons de commande 23 sont activés par un utilisateur. De façon avantageuse, le dispositif de commande 6 comporte un récepteur (non visible sur les figures) configuré pour recevoir les signaux de commande émis par l’émetteur de la télécommande 14, et l’unité électronique de commande est configurée pour commander le fonctionnement du moteur d’aspiration 4 en fonction des signaux de commande reçus par le récepteur. [0062] The remote control 14 also includes a transmitter (not visible in the figures), such as a radio wave transmitter, configured to transmit control signals in the direction of the control device 6, which is provided in the housing of vacuum cleaner 2, when the control buttons 23 are activated by a user. Advantageously, the control device 6 comprises a receiver (not visible in the figures) configured to receive the control signals emitted by the transmitter of the remote control 14, and the electronic control unit is configured to control the operation of the suction motor 4 according to the control signals received by the receiver.
[0063] La pluralité de boutons de commande peut par exemple comporter plusieurs boutons de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.1 , 23.2, 23.3, par exemple au nombre de trois, configurés pour commander, lorsqu’ils sont activés par un utilisateur, un fonctionnement du moteur d’aspiration 4 selon des modes de fonctionnement différents dans lesquels le moteur d’aspiration 4 est entraîné en rotation à des vitesses de rotation différentes. Par exemple, la vitesse de
rotation commandée par le bouton de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.2 est supérieure à la vitesse de rotation commandée par le bouton de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.1, et la vitesse de rotation commandée par le bouton de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.3 est supérieure à la vitesse de rotation commandée par le bouton de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.2. [0063] The plurality of control buttons may for example comprise several rotation speed selection buttons 23.1, 23.2, 23.3, for example three in number, configured to control, when activated by a user, an operation of the suction motor 4 according to different operating modes in which the suction motor 4 is rotated at different rotational speeds. For example, the speed of rotation controlled by the rotation speed selection button 23.2 is greater than the rotation speed controlled by the rotation speed selection button 23.1, and the rotation speed controlled by the rotation speed selection button 23.3 is greater than the rotation speed controlled by the rotation speed selection button 23.2.
[0064] La pluralité de boutons de commande peut en outre comporter un bouton de mise en veille 23.4 configuré pour commander une mise en veille du moteur d’aspiration 4 lorsque le bouton de mise en veille 23.4 est activé par un utilisateur. [0065] La pluralité de boutons de commande peut également comporter un bouton d’activation 23.5 configuré pour commander un fonctionnement du moteur d’aspiration 4 selon un mode de fonctionnement renforcé dans lequel le moteur d’aspiration 4 est entraîné en rotation à une vitesse de rotation qui est supérieure aux vitesses de rotation des modes de fonctionnement pouvant être commandés par les boutons de sélection de vitesse de rotation 23.1 , 23.2, 23.3. De façon avantageuse, le dispositif de commande 6 est configuré pour commander le fonctionnement du moteur d’aspiration 4 selon le mode de fonctionnement renforcé uniquement lorsque le bouton d’activation 23.5 est maintenu enfoncé par l’utilisateur. [0066] Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, l’aspirateur 1 comporte un dispositif de génération de signal sonore configuré pour générer un signal sonore lorsque la télécommande 14 est correctement insérée dans la cavité de logement 15, c’est-à-dire lorsque la télécommande 14 a atteint un emplacement de réception prédéterminé. [0067] De façon avantageuse, le dispositif de génération de signal sonore comporte une languette élastiquement déformable 24 (voir la figure 10) qui est prévue sur la poignée de préhension 13 et qui est pourvue d’un ergot 25 faisant saillie dans la cavité de logement 15. Le dispositif de génération de signal sonore comporte en outre un évidement de réception 26 qui est prévu sur la
télécommande 14 et qui est configuré pour recevoir l’ergot 25 lorsque la télécommande 14 est montée dans la cavité de logement 15, c’est-à-dire lorsque la télécommande 14 est dans l’emplacement de réception prédéterminé. De façon avantageuse, l’évidement de réception 26 est prévu sur une surface inférieure de la télécommande 14. [0064] The plurality of control buttons may further comprise a standby button 23.4 configured to command a standby of the suction motor 4 when the standby button 23.4 is activated by a user. [0065] The plurality of control buttons may also include an activation button 23.5 configured to control operation of the suction motor 4 according to a reinforced mode of operation in which the suction motor 4 is rotated at a speed which is greater than the rotation speeds of the operating modes that can be controlled by the rotation speed selection buttons 23.1, 23.2, 23.3. Advantageously, the control device 6 is configured to control the operation of the suction motor 4 according to the enhanced operating mode only when the activation button 23.5 is held down by the user. According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the vacuum cleaner 1 comprises a sound signal generating device configured to generate a sound signal when the remote control 14 is correctly inserted into the housing cavity 15, i.e. ie when the remote control 14 has reached a predetermined reception location. Advantageously, the sound signal generating device comprises an elastically deformable tab 24 (see Figure 10) which is provided on the grip handle 13 and which is provided with a lug 25 projecting into the cavity of housing 15. The sound signal generating device further comprises a receiving recess 26 which is provided on the remote control 14 and which is configured to receive the pin 25 when the remote control 14 is mounted in the housing cavity 15, that is to say when the remote control 14 is in the predetermined reception location. Advantageously, the receiving recess 26 is provided on a lower surface of the remote control 14.
[0068] Le dispositif de génération de signal sonore est configuré de telle sorte que, lors de l’insertion de la télécommande 14 dans la cavité de logement 15, la languette élastiquement déformable 24 est déformée élastiquement dans une position déformée du fait de la coopération de l’ergot 25 avec la surface inférieure de la télécommande 14, et, de telle sorte que, lorsque l’ergot 25 est situé en regard de l’évidement de réception 26, la languette élastiquement déformable 24 reprend sa position de repos et l’ergot 25 pénètre dans l’évidement de réception 26. Un tel déplacement de l’ergot 25 entraîne un choc de ce dernier contre la paroi interne de l’évidement de réception 26 et génère ainsi un signal sonore qui informe l’utilisateur que la télécommande 14 a attend l’emplacement de réception prédéterminé. [0068] The sound signal generating device is configured such that, when inserting the remote control 14 into the housing cavity 15, the elastically deformable tab 24 is elastically deformed into a deformed position due to the cooperation of the lug 25 with the lower surface of the remote control 14, and, in such a way that, when the lug 25 is located opposite the reception recess 26, the elastically deformable tab 24 returns to its rest position and the lug 25 enters the receiving recess 26. Such a movement of the lug 25 causes the latter to impact against the internal wall of the receiving recess 26 and thus generates an audible signal which informs the user that the remote control 14a waits for the predetermined receiving location.
[0069] La télécommande 14 comporte en outre un élément de stockage d’énergie électrique 27, tel qu’une pile électrique ou un accumulateur électrique rechargeable, qui est logé dans un logement interne 28 délimité par un boîtier de télécommande 29 de la télécommande 14. The remote control 14 further comprises an electrical energy storage element 27, such as an electric battery or a rechargeable electric accumulator, which is housed in an internal housing 28 delimited by a remote control box 29 of the remote control 14 .
[0070] De façon avantageuse, la télécommande 14 comporte une trappe d’accès 31 qui est montée pivotante par rapport au boîtier de télécommande 29 autour d’un axe de pivotement et entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle la trappe d’accès 31 empêche un retrait de l’élément de stockage d’énergie électrique 27 hors du logement interne 28 et une position d’ouverture dans laquelle la trappe d’accès 31 autorise un retrait de l’élément de stockage d’énergie électrique 27 hors du logement interne. [0070] Advantageously, the remote control 14 comprises an access hatch 31 which is pivotally mounted with respect to the remote control box 29 around a pivot axis and between a closed position in which the access hatch 31 prevents a withdrawal of the electrical energy storage element 27 from the internal housing 28 and an open position in which the access door 31 allows the electrical energy storage element 27 to be removed from the internal housing .
[0071] De façon avantageuse, la trappe d’accès 31 est située dans une partie inférieure du boîtier de télécommande 29. La trappe d’accès 31 peut par
exemple être montée de manière imperdable sur le boîtier de télécommande 29. Advantageously, the access hatch 31 is located in a lower part of the remote control box 29. The access hatch 31 can by example be mounted in a captive manner on the remote control unit 29.
[0072] Bien entendu, l’invention n’est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n’a été donné qu’à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d’équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l’invention.
Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given by way of example only. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
