Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Bodenpflegegerät als Bürststaubsauger mit einem dem Boden zugewandten Bürstvorsatz zur Aufnahme einer angetriebenen Bürstwalze, wobei der Bürstvorsatz über ein verschwenkbares Verbindungselement als Anschlussstutzen für ein aufsetzbares Filtergehäuse mit einer Handhabe als Handgriff über korrespondierende Anschlüsse verbindbar ist und der Bürstvorsatz mindestens einen elektrischen Motor für ein Sauggebläse sowie zum Antrieb der Bürstwalze aufnimmt und einen Schalter zum Ein- und Ausschalten aufweist.The invention relates to a floor care appliance as a brush vacuum cleaner with a brush facing the bottom brush attachment for receiving a driven brush, wherein the brush attachment is connectable via a pivotable connecting element as a connecting piece for an attachable filter housing with a handle as a handle on corresponding connections and the brush attachment at least one electric motor for a suction fan and for driving the brush roller and has a switch for switching on and off.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Bedienung von Schaltern dieser Geräte oftmals zu Schäden führen. Es ist bekannt, Schalter zur Fußbedienung zum Ein- und Ausschalten auf der Oberseite von Schlittenstaubsaugern anzuordnen. Bei der Anordnung der Schalter auf der Oberseite von Bürstvorsätzen, die eine relativ niedrige Bauhöhe aufweisen, kommt es bei dieser Anordnung auf der Oberseite oftmals zu Beschädigungen und Brüchen des Gehäuses, da die Bedienperson sich mit dem gesamten Körpergewicht bei der Bedienung des Schalters auf den Bürstvorsatz abstützt. Druckschriftlicher Stand der Technik ist aus der DE 11 2009 001 873 T5 , der DE 91 04 750 U1 und aus der GB 252 414 A bekannt.It has been shown that the operation of switches of these devices often cause damage. It is known to arrange switch for foot control for switching on and off on the top of sled vacuum cleaners. In the arrangement of the switches on the top of Bürstvorsätzen which have a relatively low height, it often comes with this arrangement on the top damage and breakage of the housing, as the operator with the entire body weight in the operation of the switch on the brush attachment supported. Prior art is known from the DE 11 2009 001 873 T5 , of the DE 91 04 750 U1 and from the GB 252 414 A known.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Anordnung eines Schalters für gattungsgemäße Bürststaubsauger zu schaffen, die eine beschädigungsfreie Durchführung der Schaltvorgänge am Bürstvorsatz ermöglicht und beim Reinigungsvorgang eine Beeinträchtigung durch Verhaken des Schalters vermeidet.The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement of a switch for generic Bürststaubsauger that allows a damage-free implementation of the switching operations on Bürstvorsatz and avoids the impairment in the cleaning process by hooking the switch.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass die Steuerfläche zur Betätigung des Schalters an der Seitenwandung als seitliche Flanke des Bürstvorsatzes zur Fußbedienung angeordnet ist, wobei die außenliegende Steuerfläche in der Ausschaltstellung gegenüber der Seitenwandung des Bürstvorsatzes vorsteht und in der Einschaltstellung lösbar über Rastelemente ohne Überstand mit der Seitenwandung abschließt.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention in that the control surface is arranged to actuate the switch on the side wall as a lateral edge of the brush attachment for foot control, wherein the outer control surface protrudes in the off position against the side wall of the brush attachment and detachable in the closed position via locking elements without projection with the side wall closes.

Damit ist es nicht möglich, den Bürstvorsatz bei der Bedienung des Schalters zu beschädigen. Durch die Integration des Schalters ohne Überstand der Steuerfläche in der Seitenwandung während des Einschaltvorganges wird eine Zerstörung durch Verhaken vermieden sowie ein sogenanntes push-to-open zum Durchführen eines Ausschaltvorgangs ermöglicht.Thus, it is not possible to damage the brush attachment when operating the switch. By integrating the switch without protrusion of the control surface in the side wall during the switch-on destruction by snagging is avoided and a so-called push-to-open for performing a switch-off allows.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung besteht darin, dass die Steuerfläche des Schalters als angelenkte Hebelfläche ausgebildet ist, die in der Ausschaltstellung im Winkel gegenüber der Seitenwandung des Bürstvorsatzes vorsteht und in der Einschaltstellung ohne Überstand in der Fläche der Seitenwandung positioniert ist und über ein lösbares Rastelement gehalten ist.An advantageous embodiment is that the control surface of the switch is designed as a hinged lever surface which protrudes in the off position at an angle to the side wall of the brush attachment and is positioned in the closed position without protrusion in the surface of the side wall and is held by a releasable locking element.

Alternativ wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Schalter als Druckschalter ausgebildet ist, dessen Steuerfläche in der Einschaltstellung ohne Überstand in der Fläche der Seitenwandung positioniert ist und in der Ausschaltstellung aus der Fläche der Seitenwandung hervorsteht.Alternatively, it is proposed that the switch is designed as a pressure switch whose control surface is positioned in the closed position without projection in the surface of the side wall and protrudes in the off position from the surface of the side wall.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass die Steuerfläche des Schalters in der Einschaltstellung plan in der Fläche der Seitenwandung angeordnet ist. "Ohne Übertand" bedeutet somit insbesondere, dass die Steuerfläche in der Einschaltstellung nicht über die Seitenwandung hervorsteht. "Ohne Überstand" kann somit sowohl eine Rückstufung der Steuerfläche gegenüber benachbarten bzw. angrenzenden Flächenabschnitten der Seitenwandung in der Einschaltstellung, als auch in einer anderen Ausführungsform einen planen Abschluss bedeuten.It is further provided that the control surface of the switch is arranged in the closed position flat in the surface of the side wall. Thus, "without crossing" means in particular that the control surface does not protrude beyond the side wall in the switched-on position. "Without supernatant" can thus both a downgrading of the control surface against adjacent or mean adjacent area portions of the side wall in the closed position, as well as in another embodiment a plan conclusion.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Schalter an der linken Seite des Bürstvorsatzes bezogen auf die Arbeitsrichtung angeordnet ist.It is also proposed that the switch is arranged on the left side of the brush attachment with respect to the working direction.

Bei dem dargestellten Bürststaubsauger mit einem Bürstvorsatz 1 und einem über Anschlussstutzen als verschwenkbares Verbindungselement aufsetzbaren Filtergehäuse 2 mit einem Handgriff sind im Bürstvorsatz 1 in bekannter Weise ein elektrischer Motor für ein Sauggebläse sowie zum Antrieb einer Bürstwalze angeordnet.In the illustrated Bürststaubsauger with a brush attachment 1 and a connection piece as a pivotable connecting element can be placed filter housing 2 with a handle an electric motor for a suction fan and to drive a brush roller are arranged in the brush attachment 1 in a known manner.

Ein Gehäuse 3 des Bürstvorsatzes 1 ist kastenförmig ausgebildet und besitzt eine Oberseite 4 sowie im Wesentlichen senkrechte Seitenwandungen 5. An der in Arbeitsrichtung des Bürstvorsatzes 1 linken Seitenwandung 5 ist eine Steuerfläche 6 zur Fußbedienung eines Schalters 10 angeordnet. Der Schalter 10 ist dabei über eine Kulissenschaltung 11 mit der Steuerfläche 6 gekoppelt. Der Schalter 10 kann selbstverständlich auch an der rechten Seite oder rückseitig angeordnet sein.A housing 3 of the brush attachment 1 is box-shaped and has a top 4 and substantially vertical side walls 5. At the left in the direction of the brush attachment 1 side wall 5 is a control surface 6 for foot control a switch 10 is arranged. The switch 10 is coupled via a gate circuit 11 with the control surface 6. Of course, the switch 10 can also be arranged on the right side or on the rear side.

In dieser Ausführungsform ist die Steuerfläche 6 als einseitig angelenkte Hebelfläche über einen Drehpunkt 7 des Gehäuses 3 angeordnet und besitzt einen Anschlag 8 sowie eine zugeordnete Druckfeder 9. In der Einschaltstellung des Schalters 10 erfolgt über die Kulissenschaltung 11 eine plane Positionierung der Steuerfläche 6 in der Seitenwandung 5, und es wird durch die Kulissenschaltung 11 eine sogenannte push-to-open Anordnung geschaffen, die die Steuerfläche 6 und den Schalter 11 wieder in die Ausschaltstellung einstellt.In this embodiment, the control surface 6 is arranged as a lever surface hinged on one side via a pivot point 7 of the housing 3 and has a stop 8 and an associated compression spring 9. In the closed position of the switch 10 via the gate circuit 11 is a planar positioning of the control surface 6 in the side wall 5, and it is created by the gate circuit 11 is a so-called push-to-open arrangement, which sets the control surface 6 and the switch 11 back to the off position.

Die Steuerfläche 6 ist somit in der Einschaltstellung ohne Überstand in der Seitenwandung 5 integriert, während in der Ausschaltstellung die Steuerfläche 6 gegenüber der Seitenwandung 5 vorsteht und über einen Anschlag 13 gehalten wird. Insbesondere schließt die Steuerfläche 6 in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in der Einschaltstellung plan mit benachbarten bzw. angrenzenden Flächenabschnitten der Seitenwandung 5 ab.The control surface 6 is thus integrated in the closed position without projection in the side wall 5, while in the off position, the control surface 6 projects relative to the side wall 5 and is held by a stop 13. In particular, the control surface 6 in the embodiment shown in the closed position flat with adjacent or adjacent surface portions of the side wall 5 from.

Selbstverständlich sind diese Positionierungen einer Steuerfläche 6 in den einzelnen Stellungen auch mit einem Druckschalter durchführbar.Of course, these positions of a control surface 6 in the individual positions can also be performed with a pressure switch.
