Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a vacuum nozzle whose sole is rotatable.
  • this system has the particular disadvantage of causing air leakage on the side opposite the depression and according to the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner, these leaks can be detrimental to the efficiency of the suction if they are too important because the flow will not be properly distributed along the ridge that rises. Furthermore, if the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum causes a high vacuum in the suction channel, the resulting plating force will be large and cause a resistance to the painful progress for the user because the sole will be insufficiently tilted to slide on the floor.
  • Another example of a vacuum nozzle according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document EP 1 875 846 A2 .
  • An object of the present invention is to meet the disadvantages of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to propose a vacuum nozzle having a sole swivel and offers optimal suction efficiency and ease of use even if the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner changes.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to a suction nozzle comprising a soleplate capable of cleaning a floor with at least two pairs of pressure-air flow and connected in rotation to a connecting rod, characterized in that the nozzle of vacuum cleaner comprises means limiting the rotation of the sole at an angle of rotation ⁇ relative to the connecting rod, the angle of rotation ⁇ being a function of the value of the pressure-air flow torque.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to modulate the angle of pivoting or rotation of the soleplate as a function of the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner so as to guarantee that the air flow under the scraping edge that rises will not be reduced.
  • the vacuum nozzle according to the invention can be used with several pressure-flow couples while having an optimal cleaning efficiency and adapted to the performance of the vacuum cleaner, which remains easy to use.
  • the angle of rotation ⁇ is proportional to the pressure-air flow torque.
  • the pressure flow torque is increased, the more it is allowed on the one hand the opposite edge to lift to allow the air to pass underneath and secondly, the sole to switch all the more for do not resist too much movement.
  • the means limiting the rotation of the sole are abutment means arranged on the connecting rod and on the sole.
  • the design is simplified because this system does not involve the other parts of the nozzle.
  • a particularly interesting embodiment is that the sole is intended to be used with a first pressure-flow torque of a first vacuum cleaner or with a second pressure-air flow pair of a second vacuum cleaner, and the means limiting the rotation of the soleplate by limiting the rotation around the connecting rod at a first angle ⁇ 1 as a function of the first pressure-air flow couple or at a second angle ⁇ 2 as a function of the second pressure-air flow torque.
  • a nozzle allows very simply to equip a range of vacuum cleaners with different levels of performance or torque pressure-flow, while ensuring that the cleaning is optimal with a tilting of the sole suitable for the vacuum concerned and to its precise pressure-flow torque.
  • the abutment means are identical to either the connecting rod or the sole to limit rotation at the first angle ⁇ 1 or the second angle ⁇ 2.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to minimize the modifications to be made to the nozzle and its components in order to simplify their manufacture and to reduce their production costs.
  • the abutment means comprise a cylindrical part force-fitted on the connecting rod or on the sole and which has a length determining the value of the angle of rotation ⁇ .
  • This implementation makes it possible to adjust in a simple manner the value of the angle of rotation of the soleplate.
  • the soleplate is intended to be used with a variable pressure-air flow torque of the vacuum cleaner, and the means limiting the rotation of the soleplate limit its rotation to a variable angle ⁇ , variable pressure-air flow torque function.
  • the invention makes it possible to offer a self-adapting suction nozzle to the conditions of use and the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner to guarantee optimum cleaning efficiency.
  • Such an implementation eliminates the manual adjustments or the change of nozzle according to the pressure-flow torque.
  • the means limiting the rotation of the sole comprise an elastic element whose stiffness limits the rotation of the sole. footing at a variable angle ⁇ , depending on the variable pressure-air flow torque.
  • an elastic element makes it possible to offer an adaptation of the angle of rotation of the soleplate as a function of the flow rate at a very limited cost.
  • the angle ⁇ is variable in a predetermined range as a function of the variable pressure-air flow torque and the means limiting the rotation of the sole comprise stop means which limit the rotation of the sole at an angle ⁇ m of rotation Max.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner having a vacuum cleaner according to the first aspect.
  • the figure 1 represents a side view of a suction nozzle 100 pushed forward on a floor to be cleaned 200.
  • the suction nozzle 100 mainly comprises a soleplate 10 connected to a connecting rod 20 which is connected to the rest of the vacuum cleaner by a connection 40 by an axis of rotation 22. Furthermore, the air flow sucked passes through a flexible tube 30 arranged between the sole and the connector 40.
  • the sole 10 can rotate in rotation with respect to the rod 20 about the axis 21, the connecting rod 20 which comprises at least one ground support roller 50, rotating in rotation about the axis 23, to facilitate the use of the nozzle 100.
  • the user's pushing force is decomposed into a downward vertical component and a forward horizontal component.
  • the roller 50 takes up the vertical component on the ground and the movement is thus easy for the user and only the horizontal component is transmitted to the sole 10. Moreover, the latter comprises a suction channel 13 delimited by a scraping edge before 11 and a rear scraping edge 12. These scraping edges are connected to flat or chamfers on the underside of the sole 10. It is important to ensure that the suction efficiency is optimal for cleaning the floor 200 For this purpose, the sole 10 can pivot about the axis 21, so that the front edge is in contact with the ground to ensure scraping, but while having a ground separation of the rear edge 12 of the value d1 to distribute the flow of air sucked into the suction channel 13 all along the rear edge 12.
  • a stop 14 of the sole 10 comes into contact with an arm 24 of the connecting rod to guarantee the good value of d1 depending on the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the plating force which is exerted on the soleplate 10 because of this pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner rubs the scraping edge 11 on the ground 200 and a friction force results which results opposes the movement.
  • the tilting is provided so that the scraping edge 11 and a portion of the underside of the soleplate 10 are in contact with the ground, in order to distribute the contact forces, depending the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner, while maintaining a correct floor scratching 200.
  • the soleplate 10 comprises another stop 15 which is not in contact with the arm 24 of the connecting rod and the angle ⁇ 1 shown shows the maximum possible pivoting for the soleplate 10.
  • the figure 2 represents the suction nozzle 100 moving backwards, pulled by the user. It simply pulls back the buttstock at a defined height of the ground, which has the effect of lifting the roller 50 from the ground.
  • the sole 10 pivots about the axis 21 to abut on the rod 20.
  • This pivoting allows to guarantee a separation d2 of the ground of the front scraping edge 11 adapted to the air flow to distribute it all along the front edge of scraping 11 and a contact of the rear edge of scraping 12 and a portion of the underside of the sole 10, ensuring a low friction force and a good scraping depending on the plating force created by the pressure-flow torque of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the figure 3 represents the nozzle 100 of the figure 1 forward, but modified to be used optimally with a second pressure-flow torque.
  • the nozzle 100 is to be used with a torque-pressure lower flow, it is necessary on the one hand that the rear edge of scraping that rises distributes all the flow along the rear edge and other on the other hand, the edge of scratching in contact with the ground must nevertheless exert a mechanical action on the ground to ensure a good scratching.
  • the rod 20 is modified by adding stops 25 and 26 which limit the rotation of the sole 10 about the axis 21 in order to obtain the results described above.
  • the soleplate 10 rotates by an angle ⁇ 2 less than ⁇ 1, the rear edge 12 rises by a value d3 less than d1 to distribute the flow rate. lower air, and the front edge of scraping 11 is in contact with the ground 200, but is less inclined relative to the latter, so that its mechanical action is more important.
  • the free space between the additional abutment 26 and the abutment 15 of the soleplate 10 shows the total deflection of the soleplate 10, that is to say the angle ⁇ 2 which is smaller than the angle ⁇ 1.
  • the addition of the additional stops 25 and 26 has had the effect of adapting the pivoting of the soleplate to the lower pressure-flow torque to optimize the cleaning efficiency (distribution of the air flow along the ridge that rises). and scraping the floor) while ensuring easy use of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the sole 10 will pivot in the opposite direction, the additional stop 26 will come into contact with the stop 15, and similarly thanks to the limited pivoting, the detachment of the floor 200 from the floor.
  • the front edge of scraping 11 and the contact of the rear scraping edge 12 with the floor 200 will be adapted to the new pressure-flow torque.
