Definitions

  • the invention relates to a harrow with a rotatable roller, which is arranged in a housing and at least partially protrudes from a suction port located in a part of the housing, and which is driven by a brush motor, wherein the distance of the axis of rotation of the roller is variable to the part ,
  • Such a harrow is used for example as a permanently installed ground unit of an upright vacuum cleaner, but also as a floor nozzle for floor or hand vacuum cleaner.
  • the roller is usually equipped with bristles, but it can also elastic lips or the like are used.
  • the rotating brushes help to clean the vacuum cleaner because it removes the dirt from the floor coverings and, in the case of carpets, bends the fibers so that the suction also reaches the base of the fiber.
  • the drive of such rollers can take place via an electric motor, a turbine arranged in the suction air flow or a transmission coupled to the chassis
  • the present invention is limited to such tillage equipment in which the roller is driven by means of an electric motor.
  • the distance of the roller to the ground is decisive for the cleaning result. The more pressure is applied to the floor, the higher the cleaning effect. The appropriate distance depends primarily on the floor covering to be processed. For hard floors or low-pile carpets, the distance between the roller and the floor can be small, but it should be selected larger for high-pile carpets.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of always setting an optimum distance between the roller and the ground in a cultivator of the type mentioned above with simple means.
  • roller is resiliently mounted within the housing.
  • the optimum distance between the roller and the floor covering is established quickly and automatically at all times.
  • the technical effort is low and the tillage device so cheaper than embodiments with a manual or sensor-controlled adjustment.
  • the mechanical damping between housing and roller also ensures a pleasant, low noise and a quiet running. It is expedient if the resilient mounting takes place in such a way that the roller is pressed by means of spring force on the soil to be processed.
  • the roller is held laterally by pivotally and resiliently mounted rockers.
  • a simple structure is achieved.
  • the axis of rotation of the drive shaft of the electric motor is spaced from the axis of rotation of the roller, it is also advantageous if the axis of rotation of the drive shaft of the electric motor coincides with the pivot axes of the rockers. As a result, the distance between the drive shaft and roller remains constant, which is desirable when using drive belts or other transmission components.
  • the floor unit 2 of an upright vacuum cleaner in FIG. 1 shown in exploded view, comprises a housing, which is formed by a housing insert 5, a rear housing lower part 6, a front housing lower part 7, a bumper strip 8 and a cover part 9.
  • the housing insert 5 acts as a carrier for a number of electrical and mechanical components, and the aforementioned housing parts are attached to it. It forms with the rear housing lower part 6 with the interposition of an engine compartment seal 10, a space for receiving an engine blower 11, which generates the vacuum necessary for suction operation.
  • a sealing ring 13 is arranged around the fan inlet 12, which is also supported on the two aforementioned housing parts 5 and 6.
  • rubber buffer 14 are inserted.
  • a brush roller 17 which is resiliently mounted on two lateral rockers 18 and 19 and is driven by a brush motor 20 via a belt 21.
  • the parts 22 and 23 represent a two-piece belt cover.
  • the brush motor 20 is also secured to the housing insert 5, the rockers 18 and 19 are pivotally mounted there.
  • the two housing bases 6 and 7 carry the chassis of the upright, which is formed of front wheels 24 and 25 and rear wheels 26 and 27.
  • the rear wheels 26 and 27 are connected to stabilize by means of an axle 28 and adjustable via a respective wheel mechanism 29 and 30 in their position.
  • a board 31 is attached to LED's 32, which is covered to the front by a lens 33.
  • the viewing window 33 is held in a recess 34 in the bumper 8.
  • the air generated by the engine fan 11 is blown through an opening 35 in the housing insert 5 and a corresponding opening 36 in the cover part 9 in the environment.
  • a filter frame 37 is used, which receives a not shown exhaust filter for cleaning the air blown out of fines.
  • the filter frame 37 is covered by a grid receptacle 38 and a grid 39 in the cover part 9 and is interchangeable from there.
  • Both the tilting joint and the pivot joint between the bottom unit 2 and an upper body, not shown in the drawings, are formed by a rigid, fork-shaped channel component.
  • This component also includes parts of the air duct from the suction port 15 to the upper body 3 and the air guide from the upper body 3 to the exhaust opening (openings 35 and 36).
  • the component is referred to below as fork 40. It consists of two plastic parts, an upper shell 41 and a lower shell 42, which are interconnected by welding.
  • the two ends 43 (right) and 44 (left) of the fork 40 are pivotally mounted in recesses 45 and 46 provided for this purpose, to avoid abrasion, they are respectively surrounded by metallic bushings 47 and 48.
  • the left in the direction of travel fork 44 is designed as hollow and coupled via a seal 49 with the blower inlet 12.
  • a bearing pin 50 is formed at the right in the direction of travel fork 43 . It also has an opening 51 which is connected via an elastic tube 52 to the suction port 15.
  • the connecting region of the two fork ends 43 and 44 hereinafter referred to as fork web 53, surrounded by a front cover 54 and a rear cover 55 on the bottom unit 2, which perform the pivoting movement of the fork 40 with.
  • the space between the front and rear cover and the housing insert 5 is bridged by aperture 56 and 57.
  • the first 58 of two cable channels 58 and 59 is attached.
  • the fork ends 43 and 44 carry toothed segments 60 and 61 which cooperate with the wheel mechanisms 29 and 30.
  • a trim cover 62 for a connection cable, not shown attached.
  • a step lever 63 is mounted on the housing insert 5, which engages in this position in the left fork end 44 and thus prevents the pivoting movement of the fork 40. By depressing the lever 63, the locking position can be released. In the latched position is also prevented by two spring-loaded bolts 64 and 65 a rotational movement.
  • the air ducts, which are formed by the fork ends 43 and 44, are combined in the region of the fork web 53 to a first portion 66 of a coaxial line.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are the essential parts of the invention in section ( FIG. 2 ) or in perspective ( FIG. 3 ).
  • the housing of the bottom unit 2 is here only the front housing lower part 7, in FIG. 2 in addition, the bumper 8 and parts of the housing insert 5 are shown.
  • the rotatable roller 171 is arranged within the housing lower part 7, the rotatable roller 171 is arranged. This wears as in FIG. 2 can be clearly seen, spirally revolving bristles 172 and is therefore also referred to as a brush roller.
  • the roller 171 is mounted rotatably on both sides about the axis 152 in the wings 18 and 19.
  • the brush motor 20 is arranged in a recess provided for this purpose for the front housing lower part 7. Its drive shaft 201 protrudes into the cover 22 and 23.
  • the two rockers 18 and 19 are pivotally mounted in recesses in the front housing lower part 9, wherein the pivot axes 151 of both rockers 18 and 19 coincide with the axis of rotation 150 of the drive shaft 201.
  • springs 100 are arranged, which press the front portion of the rockers 18 and 19 and here the roller 171 through the suction port 15 to the ground.
  • the springs are designed with respect to their clamping force so that they are compressed when placed on a commercial langflorigen carpet and consequently the roller 171 occupies a greater distance from the ground.
  • the two-sided resilient mounting of the roller 171 allows an optimal adaptation of the bristle spacing when cleaning transitions between long pile carpet and short pile (or smooth floors).
  • the coaxial arrangement of the drive shaft 201 and the rocker pivot axes 151 ensures that the toothed belt 21 performs the same rotation angle as the rockers 18 and 19 and is therefore not subject to changes in length.
  • a lateral arrangement of the toothed belt in the vicinity of a rocker also ensures that act at a different deflection of the rockers 18 and 19, only small torsional forces on the toothed belt 21.
