Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dirt container for a hand-held vacuum cleaner according to claim 1 and to a hand-held vacuum cleaner provided therewith according to claim 13.
- the known solutions are merely a miniaturization of existing solutions of vacuum cleaners of larger size. For example, sometimes reusable dust filter bags are removed, emptied and then inserted back into the vacuum cleaner.
- the situation is similar with vacuum cleaners, which operate on the principle of centrifugal force, for example in the vacuum cleaner from the WO 2006/026 414 A2 in which, moreover, a separator is removed from a dirt container so that subsequently stored in the dirt container dirt can be disposed of. For this, several complicated handles are necessary.
- a bagless hand vacuum cleaner which via an articulated connection device opening and closing two Units of the hand vacuum cleaner allows, so that dirt from a dirt container of the hand vacuum cleaner can be easily removed.
- the dirt container comprises a separator for separating dirt which is integrally connected to an inlet port to a first unit.
- a second unit of the hand vacuum cleaner includes an electric fan and accumulators for powering the electric fan.
- a latching mechanism allows mutual opening of the two units or closing when mutual closing of the two units.
- the dirt container of the hand vacuum cleaner is designed so that it allows both a recording of dry and wet dirt. It is not intended that the two units of the hand vacuum cleaner can be separated or decoupled from each other.
- the invention is based on the object to provide an improved dirt container for a hand vacuum cleaner, in which an improved Einström is achieved and a user-friendly handling and flexible use are possible.
- the dirt container should be simple, robust and inexpensive to manufacture.
- a dirt container for a hand vacuum cleaner wherein the dirt container via an inlet opening with an inlet nozzle for receiving sucked polluted air is connectable and wherein the dirt container forms a first unit together with a recordable therein for separating dirt from the polluted air, and the dirt container or the first unit has a first coupling element, which can be coupled to a second coupling element of a second unit forming a connecting device, the second unit comprising a motor-blower unit for generating an air flow and an energy store for driving the motor-blower Unit includes.
- Such a dirt container can be used particularly flexibly, since separators of different types can be arranged in it and the dirt container can be equipped with different inlet nozzles.
- the unit formed by the dirt container can not only be used to pick up sucked dirty air, but it also allows the passage of a blast air flow, which is particularly favorable in some cases, for example, to blow out dirt in inaccessible corners or to use the hand vacuum cleaner to inflate different inflatable devices. In other words, the direction of the airflow can be reversed.
- the first unit which includes a dirt container, a separator and an inlet nozzle, is particularly compact and lightweight, your handling is also particularly user-friendly, especially since they are carried separately from the vacuum cleaner, for example via the frontally arranged inlet nozzle and simply emptied through a trash can can.
- the dirt container is particularly flexible, since different separators or separation systems can be arranged in it according to the needs of the user.
- a separator which operates on the principle of centrifugal force.
- Such separators make it possible to maintain a nearly constant suction capacity of the hand vacuum cleaner, regardless of the dust or dirt already received in the dirt container.
- Vacuum cleaners or separators which operate on the centrifugal force principle, use the centrifugal forces to separate dust and dirt from the intake air.
- Staubabscheideisme the vacuum cleaner the polluted air as a carrier of the particles to be separated - dirt and dust - by their own flow velocity and a corresponding structural design of the Staubabscheidevenez offset in a rotary motion.
- centrifugal separator The material separation takes place in the centrifugal separator by the centrifugal forces or centrifugal forces acting on the dirt and dust.
- centrifugal separators which are designed to operate according to the principle of centrifugal force during a rotary and / or screw movement of the air flow, are centrifugal separators, cyclone vacuums or swirl separators.
- the separator is a dust filter bag. Dust filter bags are particularly suitable for receiving dirt and dust of a particularly small grain size and are therefore particularly suitable for users with dust allergies.
- a hand vacuum cleaner with a dust filter bag as a separator on a reduced noise emission compared to a conventional hand vacuum cleaner using a separator, which operates on the principle of centrifugal force.
