Abstract

The invention relates to a hose arrangement for a vacuum cleaner. Said hose arrangement has a suction hose (3) whose length is altered automatically and which is automatically extendible in at least one section. An receiving part (4) for the suction hose (3) is attached by one end (5) to the vacuum cleaner (1) housing. The length of the receiving part (4) corresponds to the shortened position of the suction hose (3). At its other end (6), the receiving part has a retaining element (8) which blocks the suction hose (3) in its shortened position. A sealing member (13) which can be switched between an open and closed position is also provided in the end of the suction hose (3) which is at a distance from the vacuum cleaner housing. The flow path can be closed off and opened without the use of an external sealing member if the sealing member is formed by a turning link (13) placed in the path of a flow line connected to the end area of the suction hose (3) which is at a distance from the vacuum cleaner housing.

Description

Schlauchanordnung für einen StaubsaugerHose arrangement for a vacuum cleaner

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schlauchanordnung für einen Staubsauger gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a hose arrangement for a vacuum cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Schlauchanordnung ist durch die DE-A-26 02 502 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Anordnung wird der Saugschlauch durch den vom Gebläse des Staubsaugers erzeugten Unterdruck in das Aufnahmeteil hineingezogen. Hierzu ist an dem vom Satubsauger abgelegenen Ende des Saugschlauches eine verschwenkbar gelagerte Scheibe vorgesehen, die nach dem Abziehen eines mit dem betreffenden Ende des Saugschlauches gekoppelten Saugrohres vor die dann freie Öffnung des Saugschlauches geklappt werden kann und diese somit verschließt. Infolge dieses Verschließens der Öffnung entsteht eine Saugkraft, die den Saugschlauch in das Aufnahmeteil hineinzieht. Ist der Saugschlauch in das Aufnahmeteil hineingezogen, wird er in dieser Stellung durch ein Halteelement blockiert. Will man den Staubsauger wieder in Gebrauch nehmen, dann wird das Halteelement gelöst und der Saugschlauch aus dem Aufnahmeteil herausgezogen bzw. der Saugschlauch tritt von selbst aus dem Aufnahmeteil heraus, wenn er als sich selbsttätig verlängernder Saugschlauch ausgebildet ist. Danach muß die Scheibe von der Öffnung des Saugschlauches weggeschwenkt werden, damit das Saugrohr wieder mit dem Saugschlauch gekoppelt werden kann und ein freier Strömungsweg geschhaffen ist. Durch die außen liegende Anordnung der die freie Öffnung des Saugschlauches verschließenden Scheibe ergibt sich eine große Störanfälligkeit. Da bei der Durchführung von Saugarbeiten der Saugschlauch in der Regel im Bereich seines vom Staubsauger abgelegenen Endes erfaßt wird, stört die außen an dem mit dem Schlauchende verbundenen Schlauchstutzen angeordnete Scheibe erheblich.Such a hose arrangement is known from DE-A-26 02 502. In this known arrangement, the suction hose is drawn into the receiving part by the vacuum generated by the blower of the vacuum cleaner. For this purpose, a pivotably mounted disc is provided on the end of the suction hose remote from the vacuum cleaner, which can be folded in front of the then free opening of the suction hose after pulling off a suction pipe coupled to the relevant end of the suction hose and thus closes it. As a result of this closing of the opening, a suction force is created which pulls the suction hose into the receiving part. If the suction hose is drawn into the receiving part, it is blocked in this position by a holding element. If you want to use the vacuum cleaner again, the holding element is loosened and the suction hose is pulled out of the receiving part or the suction hose automatically emerges from the receiving part if it is designed as an automatically extending suction hose. Then the disc must be pivoted away from the opening of the suction hose so that the suction pipe can be coupled to the suction hose again and a free flow path is created. The external arrangement of the disk which closes the free opening of the suction hose results in a high susceptibility to faults. Since the suction hose is usually detected in the area of its end remote from the vacuum cleaner when carrying out suction work, the disk arranged on the outside of the hose connector connected to the hose end is considerably disruptive.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schlauchanordnung für einen Staubsauger, insbesondere Bodenstaubsauger, so auszubilden, daß das Verschließen bzw. das Freigeben des Strömungsweges ohne außen liegende Verschlußteile erfolgen kann. Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Ein als Drehgelenk ausgebildetes Verschlußteil kann in einfacher Weise im Zuge der Strömungsleitung angeordnet weren. Durch einfaches Verschwenken des Drehgelenkes kann dieses in seine Durchgangs- oder Sperrstellung gebracht werden.The invention is based on the object of designing a hose arrangement for a vacuum cleaner, in particular a vacuum cleaner, in such a way that the closing or releasing of the flow path can take place without external closure parts. The object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. A closure part designed as a swivel joint can be arranged in a simple manner in the course of the flow line. By simply pivoting the swivel joint, it can be brought into its through or locked position.

Um bei Saugarbeiten ein unbeabsichtigtes Verschwenken des Drehgelenkes in seine Sperrstellung zu verhindern, ist es zweckmäßig, daß das Drehgelenk zumindest in seiner Durchgangsstellung verriegelbar ist.In order to prevent unintentional pivoting of the swivel joint into its locked position during suction work, it is expedient that the swivel joint can be locked at least in its through position.

Eine besonders günstige Verstaustellung für die Schlauchanordnung ergibt sich dadurch, daß das Drehgelenk im Bereich zwischen dem Saugschlauch und einem zur Führung des Saugmundstückes dienenden Saugrohr vorgesehen ist oder auch dadurch daß das Drehgelenk an einem zwischen dem Saugschlauch und dem Saugrohr eingefügten Rohrhandgriff vorgesehen ist. Durch die Anordnung des Drehgelenkes in dem Übergangsbereich vom Saugschlauch zu dem Saugrohr, wird eine sehr enge Umlenkstellung zwischen dem an sich elastischen Saugschlauch und dem starren Saugrohr erzielt. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn das Saugrohr in bekannter Weise in der Aufbewahrstellung des Staubsaugers an dessen Gehäuse positioniert ist.A particularly favorable stowage position for the hose arrangement results from the fact that the swivel joint is provided in the area between the suction hose and a suction pipe which serves to guide the suction mouthpiece, or else that the swivel joint is provided on a pipe handle inserted between the suction hose and the suction pipe. The arrangement of the swivel joint in the transition area from the suction hose to the suction pipe results in a very narrow deflection position between the suction hose, which is elastic per se, and the rigid suction pipe. This is particularly advantageous if the suction tube is positioned in the storage position of the vacuum cleaner on its housing in a known manner.

Auf ein gesondertes Drehgelenk im Zuge des Strömungsweges kann verzichtet werden, wenn das zwischen dem Gehäuse eines Saugmundstückes und dessen Anschlußstutzen vorgesehene Drehgelenk als Verschlußglied dient.A separate swivel joint in the course of the flow path can be dispensed with if the swivel joint provided between the housing of a suction mouthpiece and its connecting piece serves as a closure member.

Keine Abdichtprobleme entstehen wenn, der Saugschlauch innerhalb des Aufnahmeteiles direkt an die Saugöffnung des Staubsaugers angekoppelt ist.No sealing problems arise if the suction hose within the receiving part is directly coupled to the suction opening of the vacuum cleaner.

Das Aufnahmeteil kann voteilhafterweise als Schlauch ausgebildet sein, in den der in seiner Länge veränderbare Saugschlauch einbringbar ist. Dabei kann der den Saugschlauch aufnehmende Schlauch selbst als ein selbsttätig seine Länge ändernder Schlauch ausgebildet sein. Hier ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Schlauch als sich selbst verkürzender Schlauch (Strechschlauch) ausgebildet ist. Damit kann er sich bei herausgezogenem Saugschlauch, wie dies bei der Durch-führung von Saugarbeiten der Fall ist, auf seine kürzeste Länge zusammenziehen, so daß er bei der Durchführung von Saugarbeiten in keiner Weise hinderlich ist. Ein solcher Strechschlauch wird so ausgelegt, daß seine maximale Länge im gestreckten Zustand der verkürzten Länge des Saugschlauches entspricht. W0 99/35954 PO7EP99/00115The receiving part can advantageously be designed as a hose into which the suction hose, which can be changed in length, can be inserted. The hose receiving the suction hose itself can be designed as a hose that automatically changes its length. It is particularly advantageous here if the hose is designed as a self-shortening hose (stretch hose). Thus, when the suction hose is pulled out, as is the case when carrying out suction work, it can contract to its shortest length, so that it is in no way a hindrance when carrying out suction work. Such a stretch hose is designed so that its maximum length in the stretched state corresponds to the shortened length of the suction hose. W0 99/35954 PO7EP99 / 00115

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht das Aufnahmeteil aus einzelnen über den Umfang des Saugschlauches verteilt angeordneten streifenförmigen, elastischen Halteteilen. Als streifenförmige, elastische Halteteile können Schnüren, Drähte oder auch biegsame Stäbe verwendet werden. Es wird dabei eine solche Anzahl von Halteteilen über den Umfang des Saugschlauches verteilt angeordnet, daß ein seitliches Ausweichen des Saugschlauches aus dem Aufnahmeteil mit Sicherheit verhindert wird.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the receiving part consists of individual strip-shaped, elastic holding parts distributed over the circumference of the suction hose. Cords, wires or flexible rods can be used as strip-shaped, elastic holding parts. There is such a number of holding parts distributed over the circumference of the suction hose that lateral evasion of the suction hose from the receiving part is prevented with certainty.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend noch näher erläutert. Es zeigt:Based on an embodiment shown in the drawing, the invention is explained in more detail below. It shows:

Mit 1 ist ein Bodenstaubsauger bezeichnet. Im Bereich der Saugöffnung 2 des Bodenstaubsaugers 1 ist ein als Aufnahmeteil für den an die Saugöffnung 2 angeschlossenen Saugschlauch 3 ausgebildeter Schlauch 4 mit dem Gehäuse des Bodenstaubsaugers 1 verbunden. Dabei kann der Schlauch 4 in geeigneter Weise mit seinem einen Ende 5 direkt mit dem Gehäuse des Bodenstaubsaugers 1 verbunden sein. Die Verbindung mit dem Gehäuse kann auch indirekt erfolgen, indem der Schlauch 4 mit seinem entsprechenden Ende 5 mit dem an die Saugöffnung 2 ankoppelbaren Anschlußstutzen des Saugschlauches 3 verbunden ist. Am anderen Ende 6 des Schlauches 4 ist ein mittels eines Betätigunsknopfes 7 ein- und ausschaltbares Verriegelungselement 8 angeordnet.1 with a vacuum cleaner is called. In the area of the suction opening 2 of the cylinder vacuum cleaner 1, a hose 4 designed as a receiving part for the suction hose 3 connected to the suction opening 2 is connected to the housing of the cylinder vacuum cleaner 1. The hose 4 can be connected in a suitable manner with its one end 5 directly to the housing of the cylinder vacuum cleaner 1. The connection to the housing can also be made indirectly by connecting the hose 4 with its corresponding end 5 to the connecting piece of the suction hose 3 that can be coupled to the suction opening 2. At the other end 6 of the hose 4 there is a locking element 8 which can be switched on and off by means of an actuating button 7.

Mit seinem anderen Ende 11 ist der Saugschlauch 3 über einen Rohrhandgriff 12 an das eine Ende eines Saugrohres 9 angeschlossen, das mit seinem anderen Ende mit einem Saugmundstück 10 gekoppelt ist. An dem Rohrhandgriff 12 ist ein Drehgelenk 13 vorgesehen. Den inneren Aufbau dieses Drehgelenkes 13 zeigen die Figuren 3 und 4. Je nach Verschwenkstellung des Drehgelenkes 13 ergibt sich eine Sperrstellung (Fig.3) oder eine Durchgangsstellung (Fig.4) desselben.With its other end 11, the suction hose 3 is connected via a pipe handle 12 to one end of a suction pipe 9, which is coupled at its other end to a suction mouthpiece 10. A swivel joint 13 is provided on the tubular handle 12. FIGS. 3 and 4 show the internal structure of this swivel joint 13. Depending on the swivel position of the swivel joint 13, a locked position (FIG. 3) or a through position (FIG. 4) thereof results.

Sollen Saugarbeiten durchgeführt werden, wird das Verriegelungselement 8 durch entsprechendes Verstellen des Betätigungsknopfes 7 gelöst. Der Saugschlauch 3 kann dann aus dem Schlauch 4 herausgezogen werden bzw. der Saugschlauch 3 tritt von alleine aufgrund seiner sich selbsttätig verlängernden Eigenschaft aus dem Schlauch 4 heraus. Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Saugschlauch 3 auf seiner ganzen Länge als sich selbsttätig verlängernd ausgebildet. Es kann aber auch eine Kombination von sich selbsttätig verlängernden und sich selbsttätig verkürzenden Abschnitten gewählt werden. Ist der Saugschlauch 3 aus dem Schlauch 4 herausgezogen, wird das Drehgelenk 13 in seine Durchgangssteliung geschwenkt. In dieser Durchgangsstellung wird das Drehgelenkt zweckmäßigerweise verriegelt, so daß während der Saugarbeiten kein unbeabsichtigtes Verschwenken in die Sperrstellung eroigen kann.If suction work is to be carried out, the locking element 8 is released by correspondingly adjusting the actuating button 7. The suction hose 3 can then be pulled out of the hose 4 or the suction hose 3 automatically emerges from the hose 4 due to its self-extending property. The suction hose 3 is expediently designed to extend itself over its entire length. However, a combination of self-extending and self-shortening sections can also be selected. If the suction hose 3 is pulled out of the hose 4, the swivel joint 13 is pivoted into its passage position. In this through position, the swivel joint is expediently locked, so that no unintentional pivoting into the locked position can occur during the suction work.

Nach Durchführung der Saugarbeiten soll der Saugschlauch 3 aus Platzgründen in dem Schlauch 4, der wesentlich kürzer als der Saugschlauch 3 ist, verstaut werden. Das Einbringen des längenveränderbaren Saugschlauches 3 in den Schlauch 4 erfolgt mit Hilfe des vom Staubsaugergebläse erzeugten Unterdruckes. Vor dem Abschalten des Staubsaugers nach Durchführung der Saugarbeiten wird das Drehgelenk 13 in seine Sperrstellung verschwenkt. Dies geschieht beispielsweise zwangsläufig beim Anstecken des Saugrohres 9 an das Staubsaugergehäuse, wie dies für die Aufbewahrstellung des Staubsaugers üblich ist.After performing the suction work, the suction hose 3 should be stowed in the hose 4, which is considerably shorter than the suction hose 3, for reasons of space. The length-adjustable suction hose 3 is introduced into the hose 4 with the aid of the negative pressure generated by the vacuum cleaner fan. Before the vacuum cleaner is switched off after the suction work has been carried out, the swivel joint 13 is pivoted into its locked position. This happens, for example, inevitably when the suction pipe 9 is plugged into the vacuum cleaner housing, as is customary for the storage position of the vacuum cleaner.

In der Sperrstellung des Drehgelenkes 13 wird die Luftzufuhr zu dem Gebläse unterbrochen und durch den wirksam werdenden hohen Unterdruck der Saugschlauch 3 vollständig in den Schlauch 4 hineingezogen. Sollte die Kraft des Unterdruckes nicht ausreichen um den Saugschlauch 3 vollständig in den Schlauch 4 hineinzuziehen, kann von Hand nachgeholfen werden. Mittels des Verriegelungselementes 8 wird der Saugschlauch 3 dann in der in den Schlauch 4 eingebrachten Stellung gesichert.In the locked position of the swivel joint 13, the air supply to the blower is interrupted and the suction hose 3 is completely drawn into the hose 4 by the high vacuum which becomes effective. If the force of the negative pressure is not sufficient to pull the suction hose 3 completely into the hose 4, you can help by hand. The suction hose 3 is then secured in the position introduced into the hose 4 by means of the locking element 8.

Das Drehgelenk kann auch im Zuge des Saugrohres 9 angeordnet werden.The swivel joint can also be arranged in the course of the intake manifold 9.

Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit, das üblicherweise zwischen dem Anschlußstutzen 14 und dem Gehäuse 15 des Saugmundstückes 10 vorgesehene Drehgelenk als Verschlußteil zu nutzen. Es muß lediglich ein ausreichender Verschwenkwinkel dieses Drehgelenkes vorgesehen werden, damit dieses von seiner üblichen Durchgangsstellung in eine Sperstellung verschwenkt werden kann. Damit ist kein gesondertes Drehgelenk mehr erforderlich. In addition, there is the possibility of using the rotary joint usually provided between the connecting piece 14 and the housing 15 of the suction mouthpiece 10 as a closure part. It is only necessary to provide a sufficient pivot angle of this swivel joint so that it can be pivoted from its usual through position into a locking position. This means that a separate swivel joint is no longer required.
