Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cleaning device as a handheld device, in particular for the removal of animal hair, with a housing, on the underside of a friction surface is provided for dissolving dirt particles from a substrate.
  • hand vacuum cleaners that can be operated as handheld devices via a power storage and can suck dirt particles into a receiving chamber.
  • Such hand vacuum cleaners usually have a housing made of plastic, on which an intake opening is formed.
  • Such hand vacuum cleaners work well with loose dirt particles, but if there is some adhesion of the dirt particles to the ground, as is the case, for example, with animal hair on upholstered furniture, these hand vacuum cleaners are not very helpful.
  • the LU 31 393 discloses a device for animal care, which is connectable to a vacuum cleaner.
  • the device has a handpiece made of elastomeric material, in which a plurality of bristles are provided around a suction connection on an underside.
  • the cleaning device comprises a housing, on the underside of which a friction surface for releasing dirt particles is provided, wherein additionally a suction opening is formed on the underside, by means of which the dissolved dirt particles can be sucked into the housing.
  • the friction surface has downwardly projecting rigid webs on which a lip of an elastomer is applied.
  • the webs extend from a central projection helically outward.
  • the webs may be formed on a plate-shaped lower part and have a height of at least 5 mm, in particular more than 8 mm.
  • a plurality of nubs are formed on the lip. It has been found that, especially with animal hair, removal from a textile surface is difficult because they adhere very well to the substrate. Due to the formation of pimples, even short animal hairs can straighten up when rubbed with the friction surface and thereby partially detach from the substrate. Subsequently, the erect animal hair can be absorbed.
  • the lip on the underside of the webs is preferably made of an elastomer having a Shore hardness between 30A and 90A, in particular 50A to 70A. This ensures that a substrate is not damaged by the lip, but on the other hand sufficient brushing is achieved on textile surfaces.
  • a power storage and a driven suction fan are arranged in the housing.
  • the cleaning device can be constructed very compact and ensure good handling with low weight.
  • annularly arranged exhaust openings are provided on the housing. These can be arranged adjacent to the suction fan, which makes a radial acceleration of the air flow, so that the air is then blown out in the radial direction.
  • a switch for switching on the suction fan is provided at the top of the housing.
  • the switch can be designed so that it turns on the suction fan only at low pressure, which ensures that the suction fan is turned on only when touched by the user.
  • the suction fan is automatically switched off, so that not unnecessarily the energy of the power storage is consumed.
  • lamellae made of an elastic material can be provided on the friction surface.
  • the slats may be formed for example of rubber or silicone and are attached at regular intervals on the underside. It is also possible to provide brush inserts or other friction elements on the friction surface.
  • a receiving chamber for dirt particles is formed in a lower region of the housing.
  • a filter it can be arranged between the receiving chamber and the suction fan, a filter, so that the sucked dirt particles are not returned to the environment.
  • an annular filter may additionally be provided adjacent to the exhaust openings, an annular filter.
  • a cleaning device 1 is designed as a handheld device and can be operated without an external power supply.
  • the cleaning device 1 comprises a housing with a lower housing part 2 and an upper housing part 3, between which a ring 4 with slot-shaped exhaust openings 14 is arranged.
  • the cleaning device 1 is shown with the individual components.
  • the lower housing part 2 comprises a housing ring 20, which on a Caseback 21 can be plugged. Between the housing ring 20 and the housing bottom 21, a receiving chamber 28 is formed for dirt particles.
  • a suction opening 24 is centrally formed, which is surrounded by an annular friction surface.
  • the diameter of the friction surface is more than twice as large as the diameter of the suction opening 24.
  • the housing bottom 21 has on the underside 27 on a friction surface on which a plurality of fins 25 are made of an elastic material, in particular of rubber or silicone.
  • the fins 25 may be injected, glued or otherwise secured in the manufacture of the plastic housing bottom 21.
  • an opening 23 is centrally formed, on which a dirt net 22 is mounted as a filter.
  • a suction fan 7 is provided with a fan whose axis of rotation extends vertically.
  • the suction fan 7 is disposed within the ring 4 with the exhaust openings 14.
  • an annular filter 26 is positioned in front of the exhaust openings 14.
  • the suction fan 7 is mounted on a base plate 6, on which a in FIG. 2 Unillustrated motor is set with a power storage.
  • the upper housing part 3 is provided on which a push-button 5 is mounted for switching on and off of the suction fan 7.
  • FIG. 3 the cleaning device 1 is shown in section. At the bottom 27 dirt can be removed from a textile substrate by the fins 25 and then transported through the suction port 24 into the receiving chamber 28. The cleaned air then flows through the dirt net 22 to the suction fan 7 and is blown out from there through the exhaust openings 14.
  • FIG. 4 the cleaning device 1 without upper housing part 3 is shown.
  • a power storage 8 is set in the form of one or more batteries that drive an electric motor 9.
  • the electric motor 9 drives via a transmission to the suction fan 7, which ensures a low suction air flow, but which is sufficient to suck dust particles, animal hair and other light impurities in the receiving chamber 28.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B the use of the cleaning device 1 is shown.
  • the user engages the upper housing part 3 and presses the push button 5.
  • This turns on the suction fan 7 and now can be removed by moving the cleaning device 1 on the surface to be cleaned dirt on the fins 25 and sucked through the suction port 24. Dirt particles 11 can also accumulate on the bottom 27 first before they get into the suction opening 24.
  • the cleaning device 1 can be positioned on a corresponding base station to then automatically make a recharging of the power storage.
  • FIG. 6 a modified embodiment of a cleaning device 1 'is shown, which has a modified lower part 30 and the rest, as the cleaning device 1 described above is formed.
  • the lower part 30 is preferably made of plastic and is fixed at its upper side to the housing ring 20.
  • downwardly projecting webs 31 are formed, which has a lip 32 made of an elastomer, in particular a thermoplastic elastomer to form a friction surface on the underside.
  • the webs 32 extend from a central projection 34 helically outward, wherein at the central projection 34 four webs open. Between the webs 31, a suction channel 37 is formed in each case, which extends to a suction opening 35 adjacent to the projection 34.
  • the lip 32 preferably has a height of 0.5 to 2 mm and has a plurality of nubs 33 which project downwardly and also have a height between 0.5 mm and 2 mm.
  • the knobs When passing over a textile surface with animal hair, the knobs can set up individual animal hair, so that they can be sucked through the suction channels 37 in the cleaning device 1.
  • the lips 32 with the nubs 33 are preferably integrally formed on the webs 31 in two-component injection molding.
  • the lower part 30 further has mounting holes 36, in particular for a bayonet lock, which serve for connection to the housing ring 20 or another housing part.
  • FIG. 7 the area between two webs 31 with a suction channel 37 is shown in detail.
  • the knobs 33 are downwardly protruding, wherein the distance between two nubs 33 in a range between 0.5 to 3 cm, in particular 1 cm, may lie, so that when sweeping a textile surface fibers or hair can be reliably sucked off .
  • the helical arrangement of the webs 31 with a length of preferably 5cm to 15cm ensures that at least three lips 32, in particular four lips 32, reach the individual webs 31 in contact with the surface to be cleaned during a linear movement of the cleaning device 1 ' ,
  • the housing ring 20 is formed in several parts and includes a disc-shaped filter element and a sieve bottom.
  • the air-permeable filter element can be exchangeably received in a dirt chamber. By opening the housing ring 20, the sucked Good from the dirt chamber can then be disposed of.
  • the annular filter 26 may be omitted in this embodiment.
