Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of assembling the elements of a vacuum cleaner housing.
- a type of housing comprising a lower chassis receiving in its rear part a motor-fan unit and a cable reel, and in its front part a dust box capable of receiving a dust bag, a rear cover covering the motor-fan unit and the reel and receiving vacuum cleaner control members, a fixed rear cover covering cover supporting at least one control pedal, as well as a movable front cover closing the dust box and having an orifice intended to receive a suction pipe.
- Vacuums of this type commonly known as “canister vacuums", must be designed for mass production, and this requires simplifying the assembly and assembly operations of the various elements of the housing, in order to reduce the manufacturing time and production costs.
- the object of the invention is in particular to minimize the number of assembly operations for the elements of the housing with respect to each other.
- the motor-fan unit and the reel are held in place in the chassis by fixing the cover to the chassis, then the fixed cover is placed on the cover and is kept assembled there, during the fixing. of the dust box on the front part of the frame, by means of an automatic locking device arranged between the rear region of the box and the front region of the fixed cover.
- the vacuum cleaner housing shown in fig. 1 includes a lower chassis 1 receiving in its rear part a motor-fan unit 2 and a cable reel 3 and in its front part a dust box 4 capable of receiving a bag for dust, a rear cover 5 covering the motor-fan unit 2 and the reel 3 and receiving vacuum cleaner control members (for example an electronic circuit 6, a switch 7, a reel brake 8), a cover fixed posterior 9 for covering the cover 5 supporting at least one control pedal 10 (for example of on-off and of the reel brake) mounted clipped on said cover, as well as a movable front cover 11 closing the dust box 4 and having an orifice 12 intended to receive a suction pipe (not shown).
- a lower chassis 1 receiving in its rear part a motor-fan unit 2 and a cable reel 3 and in its front part a dust box 4 capable of receiving a bag for dust
- a rear cover 5 covering the motor-fan unit 2 and the reel 3 and receiving vacuum cleaner control members (for example an electronic circuit 6, a switch 7, a reel brake 8)
- the motor-fan unit 2 and the reel 3 are held in place in the chassis 1 by fixing the cover 5 to the chassis 1, then the fixed cover 9 is disposed on the cover 5 and is kept assembled there, when the dust box 4 is fixed to the front part of the chassis 1, by means of an automatic locking device arranged between the rear region of the box 4 and the anterior region of the fixed cover 9.
- the automatic locking device of the fixed cover 9 with the dust box 4 is constituted by means of mutual interlocking.
- Said mutual interlocking means are formed by legs 13 projecting horizontally, which are carried by the anterior region of the fixed cover 9 and which engage under an edge 14 projecting horizontally in the upper region of the rear face 15 (illustrated in dashed lines) of the dust box 4.
- the cover 5 being positioned in the chassis 1 by means of two screws (not shown) respectively penetrating into two housings arranged in the rear region of the chassis 1 and one of which is illustrated in 16 , is also locked in this chassis by means of the cover locking device 9 with the box 4 as well as by complementary means of mutual interlocking which comprise two lateral extensions 17 of said edge 14 intended to come to fit respectively on two lateral uprights 18 of a front rib 19 of the cover 5.
- the following operations are carried out: installation of the group motor-fan 2 and the reel 3 in the chassis 1; positioning and fixing of the rear cover 5; insertion of the control members 7 and 8 into housings 20 and 21 formed on the cover 5 positioning of the fixed cover 9 on the cover 5 with attachment obtained by snap-fastening of lugs 22 of the cover in notches 23 formed in said cover, this in order to obtain not only the maintenance of the switch 7 in its housing 20, but also the exact positioning of the control pedal 10 above the switch 7 and the reel brake 8; positioning of the dust box 4 in the chassis 1 and fixing of this box in the chassis by means of four screws, one of which is illustrated at 24 and which respectively pass through holes 25 in the box to enter four housings of the chassis, two of which are illustrated by 26, this fixing of the box 4 ensuring at the end of the screwing operation, on the one hand, the locking of the cover 9 by fitting the tabs 13 under the edge 14, and on the other hand, the locking of the cover 5 in the chassis
- a bag support 27 which can be mounted articulated at 28 on the upper part of the dust box 4; the movable cover 11 which is pivotally mounted at 29 on the side walls of the cover 5; and wheels, namely, a pair of rear non-steerable wheels 30 and a pivoting front wheel 31.
- the chassis 1 being made of a slightly deformable plastic material of the polypropylene-copolymer type
- the dust box 4 is made of a rigid plastic material of the mineral-loaded polypropylene type, this in order, on the one hand, to withstand the high vacuum prevailing in said box, and on the other hand, to ensure proper locking of the cover 9 on the cover 5, as well as the locking said cover in the chassis 1, so as to obtain a rigid box-cover assembly.
- the rear face 15 has, in a manner known per se, a suction orifice 32 in relation to the motor-fan unit 2, the periphery of this orifice 32 forming a seat 33 for receiving a joint 34 for suspending the group motor fan 2.
