Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, with a cable drum installed in its housing, the cable end-side output contacts of which are designed as plug contacts and are connected to mating plug contacts provided on a circuit board arranged in the vacuum cleaner housing next to the cable drum.
- such a vacuum cleaner is known from EP-A-0 365 797.
- a plastic support part is provided, on which an axially protruding projection is formed, in the interior of which mating plug contacts are arranged which fit together with plug contacts provided in a hub recess of the fixed housing part of a cable drum.
- the approach of its dimensions is carried out so that it fits into the hub recess and is held in this.
- the supporting part is held on the cable drum.
- a circuit board equipped with the electrical control elements for the blower motor is attached to the side of the support part facing away from the cable drum. Before the cable drum is inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing, the support plate with the circuit board located on it must already be attached to the cable drum. Likewise, in the event of a malfunction on the circuit board or the cable drum, the complete unit consisting of the cable drum and the supporting part must be removed.
- the invention has for its object to develop a vacuum cleaner of the type described above so that the cable drum and the circuit board can be installed and removed in a rational manner in the vacuum cleaner housing.
- the plug contacts of the cable drum are aligned parallel to one another and project axially relative to the outer contour of the cable drum, and in addition that the mating plug contacts are designed as slot contacts, which are embodied parallel to the plane by a relative design of the relevant cable drum side running movement can be brought into contact.
- a vacuum cleaner agrees the direction of movement for joining the plug and mating contacts with the mounting direction of the cable drum and the circuit board, so that when these parts are inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing, the contact connection is established automatically.
- the part in question can be pulled out of the vacuum cleaner housing, the contact connection being released without the other part having to be removed from the vacuum cleaner housing.
- a guide for the cable drum and the printed circuit board is provided in each case in the vacuum cleaner housing, the guides being designed and arranged such that the plug and slot contacts automatically come into contact with one another when the cable drum and the printed circuit board are installed.
- the circuit board or the cable drum can either be inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing first.
- FIG. 1 shows a partial top view of the arrangement of a cable drum and a circuit board in the blower compartment of a vacuum cleaner and
- Plug contacts of a cable drum with the slot contacts provided on a printed circuit board are provided on a printed circuit board.
- the blower compartment of a vacuum cleaner is designated.
- the blower chamber 1 is divided by a partition 2 into a first sub-chamber 4 receiving the blower unit 3 of the vacuum cleaner and a second sub-chamber 5 receiving a cable drum 6.
- the connecting cable 7 of the vacuum cleaner is wound up.
- the cable drum 6 is rotatably mounted on a fixed housing part 8.
- This housing part 8 contains also a spring motor driving the cable drum 6 in the winding direction.
- a slip ring arrangement is also built into the housing part 8, by means of which an electrically conductive connection is made between the connecting cable 7 wound on the cable drum 6 and plug contacts 9 projecting axially from the housing part 8.
- the two plug contacts 9 are designed to run parallel both in the axial direction and in the direction of their lateral contact surfaces 10.
- a circuit board 13 with its side edges 14 is inserted into U-shaped guide slots 12 provided on wall parts 2 and 11 of the second partial space 5.
- a guide for the cable drum 6 is not shown in the drawing. With this guidance, the cable drum 6 is fixed in its position when it is inserted into the second subspace 5 such that its plug contacts 9 come into contact with slot contacts 15 arranged on the printed circuit board 13.
- the slot contacts 15 are open at their two end faces 16. This allows the circuit board 13 and the cable drum 6 to be installed in the vacuum cleaner housing in any order. For example, the circuit board 13 can first be inserted into the guide slots 12 and then the cable drum 6 can be inserted into the vacuum cleaner housing. A reverse assembly sequence is also possible. Even in the event of a malfunction, both the printed circuit board 13 and the cable drum 6 can be removed individually from the vacuum cleaner housing.
