Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bodeneinigungsgerät nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a floor cleaning device according to the features of the preamble of
Bodenreinigungsgeräte der in Rede stehenden Art sind bekannt, so wird bspw. auf die
Aus der
Der Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, ein Bodenreinigungsgerät, beispielsweise einen Reinigungsroboter oder auch Vorsatzgeräte für übliche Haushaltsstaubsauger so auszugestalten, dass bei möglichst einfachem Aufbau eine vorteilhafte und insbesondere hygienische Handhabung erreicht wird.The invention has as its object, a floor cleaning device, for example, a cleaning robot or attachments for conventional household vacuum cleaners in such a way that with the simplest possible structure an advantageous and especially hygienic handling is achieved.
Diese Aufgabe ist bei den Gegenständen der Ansprüche 1, 2, 5, 7 und 8 gelöst, wobei darauf abgestellt ist, dass ein im Zuge des Anheben ausfahrbares Fahrwerk ein hebelbetätigtes Verschließen der Öffnung bewirkt oder ein Gegenmoment eines elektrischen Antriebsmotors zur Betätigung des Verschlussmittels genutzt ist oder in Abhängigkeit des Anheben des Gerätes ein gesondertes Betätigungsmittel auf das Verschlussmittel einwirkt oder die Aufnahme vertikal beweglich in dem Gerät gelagert ist und aufgrund ihres Eigengewichtes bei Anheben des Gerätes sich nach vertikal unten verlagert, wobei im Zuge dieser Verlagerung die Öffnung relativ zu einem Verschlussmittel in die Verschlussstellung verfährt oder der Aufnahme ein gesonderter Ventilator zugeordnet ist, wobei eine Bewegungsbahn der Ventilatorschaufeln mit der Öffnung zusammenfällt und eine Ventilatorschaufel im Stillstand die Öffnung verschließt.This object is achieved with the objects of
So ist ein Bodenreinigungsgerät geschaffen, welches einen Verschlussmechanismus für die Aufnahme aufweist, der im Reinigungsbetrieb den Weg zur Aufnahme öffnet, im Stillstand bzw. beim Transport jedoch – gegebenenfalls zusätzlich zu einer Austragsöffnung – dicht verschließen kann. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass einmal aufgenommener Schmutz nicht mit der Umgebungsluft in Kontakt treten und nicht aus dem Gerät fallen kann. Das Öffnen und Schließen der Aufnahme entspricht den Betriebszuständen. So besteht ein üblicher Betriebszustand, in welchem die Verschlussmittel in einer Offenstellung gehalten sind daraus, dass das Bodenreinigungsgerät mit laufender Bürste auf dem zu reinigenden Boden steht bzw. über diesen bewegt wird. Die Verschlussmittel treten selbsttätig in Abhängigkeit des Betriebszustandes – Anheben des Gerätes – in Wirkung. Zufolge dieser Ausgestaltung ist einem Austreten von in der Aufnahme gesammelten Schmutz bspw. beim Transport des Bodenreinigungsgerätes entgegengewirkt. Auch ist denkbar, dass ein im Zuge des Anheben ausfahrbares Fahrwerk ein hebelbetätigtes Verschließen der Öffnung bewirkt. Dass bei einem Anheben des Geräts bspw. ausfedernde Fahrwerk schließt bspw. über einen gekoppelten Mechanismus die Verschlussmittel der Aufnahme. Auch kann ein Gegenmoment eines elektrischen Antriebsmotors zur Betätigung des Verschlussmittels genutzt sein, wobei bevorzugt das Gegenmoment des Antriebsmotors der Bürste und/oder des der Fahrbewegung dienenden genutzt wird. Dies kann auch in Abhängigkeit mit einem Abheben des Gerätes kombiniert sein, wobei dieses Abheben durch für sich bekannte Abgrundsensoren erkannt wird, wonach der Antriebsmotor stehen bleibt, demzufolge das Gegenmoment wegfällt und ein mit dem Motor gekoppelter Mechanismus das Verschlussmittel in die Verschlussstellung verlagert. Auch das generelle Stoppen des Antriebsmotors für die Bürste und/oder für die Fahrbewegung führt zur selben Reaktion durch Schließen des bevorzugt federvorgespannten oder durch Schwerkraft bewegten Verschlussmittels. In einer Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist vorgesehen, dass in Abhängigkeit eines Gerätestillstands und/oder eines Anhebens des Geräts ein gesondertes Betätigungsmittel auf das Verschlussmittel einwirkt, wobei weiter bevorzugt das gesonderte Betätigungsmittel ein Elektromotor oder ein anders gebildeter Aktuator ist. Auch wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Aufnahme vertikal beweglich in dem Gerät gelagert ist und aufgrund ihres Eigengewichts bei Anheben des Geräts sich nach vertikal unten verlagert, wobei im Zuge dieser Verlagerung die Öffnung relativ zu einem Verschlussmittel in die Verschlussstellung verfährt. Hierbei ist das Verschlussmittel bevorzugt eine gerätegehäuseseitige Wandung oder dgl., welche sich bei einem Anheben des Geräts die Aufnahme verschließend vor die Öffnung schiebt. Schließlich wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Aufnahme ein gesonderter Ventilator zugeordnet ist, wobei eine Bewegungsbahn der Ventilatorschaufeln mit der Öffnung zusammenfällt und eine Ventilatorschaufel im Stillstand die Öffnung verschließt.Thus, a floor cleaning device is provided, which has a closure mechanism for the recording, which opens the way to recording in the cleaning operation, but at a standstill or during transport, however - optionally in addition to a discharge - tightly seal. This ensures that once recorded dirt does not come into contact with the ambient air and can not fall out of the device. The opening and closing of the recording corresponds to the operating conditions. Thus, there is a usual operating state in which the closure means are held in an open position from the fact that the floor cleaning appliance stands with the brush running on the floor to be cleaned or is moved over it. The closure means are automatically in function of the operating condition - lifting the device - in effect. According to this embodiment, leakage of dirt collected in the receptacle, for example, is counteracted during transport of the floor cleaning appliance. It is also conceivable that a liftable in the course of lifting suspension causes a lever-operated closing of the opening. That when lifting the device, for example, ausfedernde suspension closes, for example, via a coupled mechanism, the closure means of the recording. Also, a counter-torque of an electric drive motor can be used for actuating the closure means, wherein preferably the counter-torque of the drive motor of the brush and / or of the travel movement serving is used. This can also be combined in response to a lifting of the device, this lift is recognized by known abyss sensors, after which the drive motor stops, consequently the counter torque is eliminated and a coupled to the engine mechanism displaces the closure means in the closed position. The general stopping of the drive motor for the brush and / or for the driving movement leads to the same reaction by closing the preferably spring-biased or by gravity moving closure means. In a further development of the subject invention, it is provided that, depending on a device standstill and / or a lifting of the device, a separate actuating means acting on the closure means, wherein more preferably the separate actuating means is an electric motor or a differently formed actuator. It is also proposed that the receptacle is mounted vertically movable in the device and due to its own weight when lifting the device displaced vertically downwards, in the course of this displacement, the opening moves relative to a closure means in the closed position. In this case, the closure means is preferably a device housing-side wall or the like, which closes the receptacle against the opening when the device is lifted. Finally, it is proposed that the receptacle is associated with a separate fan, wherein a trajectory of the fan blades coincides with the opening and a fan blade at a standstill closes the opening.
