Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling and decoupling system for cleaning modular apparatuses.
  • the invention concerns a system of the above kind, studied and realised particularly for apparatuses for environment cleaning, typically domestic environments, that can be decomposed into two or more modules.
  • apparatuses for environment cleaning typically domestic environments
  • modules typically domestic environments
  • a coupling and decoupling system for cleaning modular apparatuses for cleaning modular apparatuses, particularly to be applied to modular cleaning apparatuses, comprising two cam coupling devices, said two cam coupling devices being integrally coupled with a first module of said modular apparatus, and two pins, said two pins being integral with a second module of said modular apparatus, characterised in that, following a rotative motion, said cam ' devices, sliding on said pins, allow the coupling and decoupling of said first and second modules, being further provided activation means for the motion of said cam devices with respect to said pins.
  • said activation means can be comprised of a lever.
  • said lever can be a carrier handle, connecting at the ends said two cam coupling devices.
  • said coupling device provides a substantially circular hole, mainly provided at the centre of the same device.
  • said coupling device provides a radial profile, not juxtaposed with said longitudinal sliding guide of the same cam coupling device.
  • said cam coupling device can provide a cam having a radial profile not juxtaposed with the cam, said profile being such that, following said rotative motion, also a longitudinal sliding of said second module, with respect to the first module for fixing the coupling.
  • said cam coupling device can have at least a housing for positioning a spring, parallel with respect to said profile.
  • said cam coupling device provides two housings for the springs.
  • said device can be comprised of steel or plastics.
  • said rotative motion is a 90° motion.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the modular cleaning apparatus provided with coupling and decoupling system
  • FIGS 2, 3 and 4 show the decoupling steps of the system according to the present invention
  • Figure 5 shows the fixed part of the modular cleaning apparatus to which the coupling and decoupling system is applied
  • Figure 6 shown the portable part of the modular cleaning apparatus to which the coupling and decoupling system is applied
  • Figures 7 and 8 show two perspective views, respectively a front and a rear view, of the cam device used in the coupling and decoupling system.
  • Figure 1 shows the domestic cleaning apparatus 1 , comprised of two parts, a fixed part , movable on wheels, and a portable part 3, that will be described in the following figures. It is possible to clearly note the sucking/vapour emission bocca4, to which it is possible to apply different means, such as a lance or an iron, not shown in the figures, and the handle 5.
  • FIGS 2, 3 and 4 they are shown the various steps of the decoupling system of the portable part 2 from the movable part 3.
  • Figure 2 shows the first step of the decoupling between two modules
  • handle 5 is pushed downward, according to the direction indicated by arrow A, making the cam device 6 sliding downward, ad thus allowing to this device the possibility of rotating.
  • handle 5 is rotated of about 90° according to the direction of arrow B, toward the rear part of apparatus.
  • Cam device allows to the portable part 3 to slide for some centimetres according to- direction indicated by letter C, thus allowing to the two parts 2 and 3 to begin their separation.
  • handle 5 is used as a carrier device. Thus, lifting would occur according to the direction opposite to the one indicated by arrow A of figure 2, thus obtaining an automatic hindrance of the accidental separation of the two parts 2 and 3.
  • FIG. 5 it is shown the fixed part 2 of the cleaning apparatus 1 .
  • the latter provides the handle 5 coupled, on both sides of the apparatus, with two coupling and decoupling cam devices 6, fixed part 2 provides inside the electronics for controlling the whole device, and more particularly, provides the vapour generator.
  • Said fixed part 2 provides a hollow, housing the portable part 3.
  • Connectors 9 are provided on said hollow for electric control and/or vapour connection.
  • optical signals 10 are provided on the surface, indicating the apparatus operation mode.
  • fixed part 2 has the wheels 9, 9' and the air plugs 10.
  • Portable part 3 l shown in figure 6 and has a shape suitable to be coupled with the fixed part 2.
  • Said portable part 3 provides the sucking/vapour emission mouth 4 and the electric taps 1 1 , that, due to the coupling with the fixed part 2, will be coupled with the sockets 9.
  • said portable part 3 provides, besides the electronics for controlling the apparatus, also vapour filters. Finally, it is observed a pin 1 2 provided on the side of said portable part 1 2 (on both sides), that is made sliding, during the coupling and decoupling steps, within the cam device 6, while the handle 5 is rotated.
  • Said device 6, having a circular shape, provides a guide 13 (in figure 8 it is shown the rear part of said guide 13), allowing the passage and the sliding of the pin 12 when the lever 5 is lowered (raised) to allow the decoupling (coupling) of the two parts 2, 3.
  • Device 6 also provides a central hole 14, for fixing the same to the structure of the apparatus. It is further provided the profile 15, according to a radial direction, allowing the sliding, by the translation of device 6, particularly during the blocking (releasing) step, when the pressure on the handle 5 is applied according to the direction indicated by arrow A, as shown in figure 2. Finally, device 6 provides two pins 1 6 and 16', provided for housing springs in order to make it easier the longitudinal sliding of the same device.
  • the basic feature of the described device is that of making it possible the blocking of two parts in a safe way, and to allow a wide use versatility, in such a way that said device can be applied also to other white goods or other object that are subjected to vibrations.
  • An advantage of the present system is that the cam - lever assembly is less subjected to accidental activations, thus contributing to improve the whole safety of the apparatuses providing the same.
