Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Bodenpflegegerät als Bürststaubsauger mit einem dem Boden zugewandten Bürstvorsatz zur Aufnahme einer angetriebenen Bürstwalze, wobei der Bürstvorsatz über ein verschwenkbares Verbindungselement als Anschlussstutzen für ein aufsetzbares Filtergehäuse mit einer Handhabe als Handgriff über korrespondierende Anschlüsse verbindbar ist, und wobei der Bürstvorsatz mindestens einen elektrischen Motor für ein Sauggebläse sowie zum Antrieb der Bürstwalze aufnimmt.The invention relates to a floor care device as Bürststaubsauger with a bottom facing Bürstvorsatz for receiving a driven brush roller, wherein the brush attachment is connected via a pivotable connecting element as a connecting piece for an attachable filter housing with a handle as a handle on corresponding connections, and wherein the brush attachment at least an electric motor for a suction fan and to drive the brush roller receives.

Bei bekannten Geräten dieser Art ist eine elektrische Netzanschlussleitung zum Verbinden mit einer Stromversorgung fest mit dem aufsetzbaren Filtergehäuse verbunden und auch der Schalter für die Inbetriebnahme im Bereich einer Handhabe des Filtergehäuses zur Handbedienung angeordnet. Hierdurch ist es erforderlich, an entsprechenden Schnittstellen elektrische Übergänge anzuordnen, um den im Bürstvorsatz angeordneten elektrischen Antrieb zu steuern. Diese Anordnungen haben den Mangel, dass bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung Fehler auftreten und auch für elektrische Reparaturen das gesamte Gerät zur Verfügung stehen muss. Druckschriftlicher Stand der Technik ist in der US 2013 0 160 231 A1 , der US 5 584 095 A , der DE 32 20 644 A1 , der US 4 670 937 A und in der JP 2002 165 735 A gezeigt.In known devices of this type, an electrical power cord for connection to a power supply is firmly connected to the attachable filter housing and also arranged the switch for commissioning in the range of a handle of the filter housing for manual operation. This makes it necessary to arrange electrical interfaces at corresponding interfaces in order to control the electrical drive arranged in the brush attachment. These arrangements have the defect that in case of improper handling errors occur and also for electrical repairs the entire device must be available. Prior art is in the US 2013 0 160 231 A1 , of the US 5 584 095 A , of the DE 32 20 644 A1 , of the US 4,670,937 A and in the JP 2002 165 735 A shown.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass der Gerätestecker als Geräteeinbaustecker ausgeführt und mit dem verschwenkbaren Verbindungselement formschlüssig verbunden ist.Furthermore, it is provided that the device plug is designed as a device plug connector and positively connected to the pivotable connection element.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Geräteeinbaustecker und die Gerätekupplung als Kaltgeräteverbindung ausgebildet sind.It is also proposed that the device plug and the device coupling are designed as a cold device connection.

Eine vorteilhafte Anordnung besteht darin, dass dem Gerätestecker am schwenkbaren Verbindungselement eine Führungshülse zugeordnet ist.An advantageous arrangement is that the device connector is assigned to the pivotable connecting element, a guide sleeve.

Zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsweise mit dem Bürststaubsauger ist vorgesehen, dass das Filtergehäuse eine zum oberen Bereich des Filtergehäuses geführte äußere bzw. von außen zugängliche Aufnahmefuge für die mit der Gerätekupplung verbundene Netzanschlussleitung aufweist, wobei die Netzanschlussleitung lösbar in der Aufnahmefuge festsetzbar ist.To improve the operation with the Bürststaubsauger is provided that the filter housing has a guided to the upper region of the filter housing outer or externally accessible receiving joint for connected to the device coupling power cord, the power cord is releasably secured in the receiving groove.

Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmefuge für die Netzanschlussleitung am Filtergehäuse hinter einer lösbaren Saughandhabe für Nebensaugarbeiten, wie ein Schlauch, ein Saugrohr oder eine Schlauch-Rohr-Kombination, geführt ist.It is provided that the receiving joint for the power cord on the filter housing behind a detachable suction handle for Nebensaugarbeiten, such as a hose, a suction pipe or a hose-tube combination, is performed.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Handgriff als Handhabe des Filtergehäuses eine Aufnahme für die Netzanschlussleitung mit einer Zugentlastung aufweist. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Zugentlastung der Netzanschlussleitung über eine Federtaste lösbar ausgeführt ist.It is also proposed that the handle has a receptacle for the power cord with a strain relief as a handle of the filter housing. It is envisaged that the strain relief of the power cord is designed releasably via a spring button.

Zur Sicherung der Verbindung zwischen Gerätestecker und Gerätekupplung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die mit der Netzanschlussleitung verbundene elektrische Gerätekupplung nach Verbindung in eine Nische des Filtergehäuses eingebettet ist, wobei über eine zugeordnete Kante die Löserichtung der Gerätekupplung blockierbar ist.To secure the connection between the device plug and the device coupling is proposed that the connected to the power cord electrical device coupling is embedded after connection in a niche of the filter housing, with an associated edge, the release direction of the device coupling is blocked.
