Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner having a fan room, which has a fan, a space adjacent to the fan room, which has a supply device, and an electrical connection element, which comprises a first and a second group of electrical contacts and power line elements, the contacts of the first and electrically interconnecting the second group, wherein the fan room and the space adjacent the fan room are connected to each other via an opening, and the contacts of the first group to the supply device in the space adjacent to the fan room, and the contacts of the second group to the fan in the Blower chamber are connected to electrically connect the supply device and the fan with each other.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift is known from the prior art DE 102 41 588 A1 known, in which an air conditioning device is disclosed with a housing for receiving a circuit board of a control device.
  • the cover is used for electrical contacting of a control unit and for connecting an air duct for the air conditioning.
  • the lid can be used for simultaneously closing a plurality of cavities, and is hermetically sealed by plugging the respective plug.
  • the pins of the connectors do not seal in the pin openings and therefore can be very easily inserted through the lid.
  • WO 01/52359 A1 From the international writing WO 01/52359 A1 is known with a circuit board mechanically fixable and electrically contactable connector unit, which is particularly needed for actuators in motor vehicles.
  • the plug-in unit can be contacted and fixed at a defined distance by means of non-positive elastic prestressing to the surface of a printed circuit board.
  • the contact legs are soldered to the board.
  • the Contact legs of the plug unit are kept free of mechanical fixing tasks.
  • different thickness of the board is a constant contact level of contact paths of the plug unit and in particular their motor-side contact tongues when contacting them associated contact pins on a brush unit, which is arranged at the open end of a cup-shaped motor housing guaranteed.
  • Vacuum cleaners are also known from the state of the art, in which two cables are struck on a circuit board and soldered firmly to the circuit board. Connectors are crimped on the two cables, which are contacted on two connector lugs on the fan. The cable is inserted into a slot in a partition wall between fan and cable drum space and must be subsequently fixed in order to avoid pinching between components. In addition, when passing the cable through the slot, difficulties arise in sealing the slot while the cable is being passed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved vacuum cleaner.
  • an escape of air from the fan room in other rooms of the vacuum cleaner is to be avoided, and at the same time arranged in the fan room fan via an electrical line to be powered.
  • the reliability of the electrical contacting of the fan should be ensured.
  • a vacuum cleaner is understood to mean appliances powered by electrical energy to absorb dust, including both mains operated and battery or cordless appliances.
  • a blower is the component of a vacuum cleaner to be understood, which is arranged by an electric drive, for example an electric motor, for generating the suction air flow in the vacuum cleaner.
  • an electric drive for example an electric motor
  • the fan on blades for generating a negative pressure
  • an electric motor for driving the blades on.
  • This overpressure can be increased in particular by filter devices, for example by HEPA filters on the air outlet of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the air which flows past the electric motor after passing through the blades, can have a high temperature due to the ohmic heat generated during operation on the electric motor.
  • a fan room and a room adjacent to the fan room are to be understood as spaces which are arranged in a vacuum cleaner housing.
  • the flow of exhaust air from the fan room in an adjacent room when performing an electrical connection from the adjacent room can be largely avoided in the fan room or even substantially prevented completely.
  • the sealing element closes the opening substantially airtight.
  • a closure of the electrical feedthrough can prevent heating in the adjacent space by exhaust air, which has a high temperature after flowing through the drive motor of the blower. Since electrical supply lines can be installed in the adjacent room, it is an achievable advantage of the invention that safety problems caused by heating the adjacent room, such as short circuits, can be avoided.
  • the sealing of unwanted openings in the fan room can contribute to a reduction of noise and thus to a reduction of the volume of the vacuum cleaner during operation.
  • the space (4) adjacent to the blower compartment is a cable compartment for storing a power supply cable of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the cable space is a cable drum space having a cable drum.

  • the Contacts of the second group are connected to connections of the blower.
  • connections of the blower, to which the contacts of the second group are connected are arranged outside the air flow. As a result, contamination of the contacts can be avoided by residual dust contained in the air flow.
  • the connecting element is made of an elastically deformable material.
  • An elastically deformable material is to be understood as meaning a material that can be brought into a shape different from the original form when force is applied, and returns to its original shape after the end of the force effect.
  • a made of an elastically deformable material connecting element can advantageously absorb vibrations of the vacuum cleaner and / or the starting torque of the blower by a deformation and thus prevent deterioration of the contact quality. This improvement in the reliability of the contacts between blower and supply device can lead to a constant suction and thus to an improvement in the usability of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the electrical connection element when installed in the vacuum automatically contacted the supply device and the fan, and thus finding the electrical connections can be automated. As a result, incorrect assembly and / or incorrect contacting can be avoided.
  • the electrical connection element is firmly connected to the sealing element. This can prevent pinching by components or housing halves of the vacuum cleaner during assembly, since the connecting element and the sealing element can be arranged stationarily in the vacuum cleaner.
  • the connecting element is at least partially made of plastic, particularly preferably made of elastically deformable plastic.
  • the connecting element that comprises the sealing element is a contact bridge.
  • Under a contact bridge is an elastically deformable component to understand, which can automatically return to the original position after a load by a force.

  • a preferred contact bridge is at least partially made of plastic.
  • the contact bridge consists at least partially of elastically deformable plastic.
  • the sealing properties of the sealing element can be further improved and shocks or other forces on the contact bridge can be better absorbed, whereby the contact quality of the contact bridge to the blower and / or to the supply device can be improved.
  • the contact bridge on overmolded or applied power line elements.
  • the contact bridge has injection-molded conductor tracks.
  • the power line elements are metal bands or contact sheets. This can allow a simple and inexpensive production of the contact bridge.
  • a lower part and a capsule surround the fan chamber.
