Abstract

The invention relates to a rotatable insertion coupling for connecting a suction hose having electric conductors to a suction cleaner housing, which coupling consists of a coupling bush (1), connected to the suction hose (2), and a coupling receiver provided on the suction cleaner housing, and by means of which coupling electric conductors provided in or on the suction hose (2) can be connected to a current circuit present in the suction cleaner housing, the electric conductors being laid in a conductor duct (3) provided on the coupling bush (1) and running parallel to the end of the coupling bush (1) connected to the suction hose (2). Furthermore, the coupling is provided with a safeguard against rotation between the coupling bush (1) and the connected suction hose (2). Laying the conductors on the coupling bush is simplified considerably by the fact that the conductor duct (3) is moulded onto the coupling bush and can be closed by means of a covering slide (6) connected integrally to a cap (7) arranged at the end of the suction hose. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine drehbare Steckkupplung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a rotatable plug-in coupling according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Steckkupplung ist durch das DE-U-87 12 478 bekannt. Bei dieser Steckkupplung wird der an der Kupplungshülse vorgesehene Leitungskanal durch eine an der Kupplungshülse anbringbare gesonderte Abdeckung gebildet. Die Leitungen müssen vorher frei in dem Bereich, in dem die Abdeckung angebracht wird, verlegt werden. Dies ist umständlich, da beim Anbringen der Abdeckung darauf geachtet werden muß, daß die Leitungen von der Abdeckung einwandfrei überdeckt werden.Such a plug-in coupling is known from DE-U-87 12 478. In this plug-in coupling, the conduit provided on the coupling sleeve is formed by a separate cover that can be attached to the coupling sleeve. The lines must first be laid freely in the area in which the cover is attached. This is cumbersome, since when attaching the cover, care must be taken to ensure that the cables are properly covered by the cover.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine drehbare Steckkupplung der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Leitungsverlegung an der Kupplungshülse wesentlich vereinfacht ist.The invention has for its object to develop a rotatable plug-in coupling of the generic type so that the cable laying on the coupling sleeve is significantly simplified.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale. In den angeformten Leitungskanal lassen sich die mit den Leitungsadern des Saugschlauches verbundenen Leitungen leicht eindrücken. Beim Anbringen der den Saugschlauch an der Kupplungshülse sichernden Kappe wird der Leitungskanal durch den an der Kappe angeformten Abdeckschieber verschlossen. Damit entfällt ein gesonderter Montagevorgang für das Anbringen des Abdeckschiebers. Über den Abdeckschieber ist die Kappe und damit der Saugschlauch gegenüber der Kupplungshülse gegen Verdrehen gesichert.The problem is solved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The cables connected to the cable cores of the suction hose can be easily pressed into the molded cable duct. When attaching the cap securing the suction hose to the coupling sleeve, the line channel is closed by the cover slide formed on the cap. This eliminates the need for a separate assembly process for attaching the cover slide. The cover and thus the suction hose are secured against twisting with respect to the coupling sleeve via the cover slide.

Eine vollkommene Abdeckung der Leitungen auch in dem Bereich vom Ende des Leitungskanals bis zu dem Anschluß an die Schleifringe der Steckkupplung wird gemäß der Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 2 erreicht. Es entfallen auch hierbei gesondert zu montierende Abdeckteile.A complete coverage of the lines also in the area from the end of the line channel to the connection to the slip rings of the plug coupling is achieved according to the embodiment of claim 2. There are also no cover parts to be installed separately.

Mit 1 ist die Kupplungshülse einer Steckkupplung bezeichnet, mittels der ein mit der Kupplungshülse 1 verbundener Saugschlauch 2 an einen Staubsauger angeschlossen werden kann. Hierzu ist, wie aus dem DE-U-87 12 478 bekannt, am Staubsaugergehäuse eine entsprechende Kupplungsaufnahme für die Kupplungshülse vorgesehen.With 1 the coupling sleeve of a plug-in coupling is designated, by means of which a suction hose 2 connected to the coupling sleeve 1 can be connected to a vacuum cleaner. For this purpose, as is known from DE-U-87 12 478, a corresponding coupling receptacle for the coupling sleeve is provided on the vacuum cleaner housing.

Zur Erhöhung des Bedienungskomforts von Staubsaugern werden am Handgriff des Saugschlauches entsprechende Bedienelemente vorgesehen, die über im oder am Saugschlauch 2 verlegte Leitungsadern mit den im Staubsaugergehäuse angeordneten Steuerelementen elektrisch verbunden werden müssen. Diese elektrische Verbindung erfolgt über entsprechende an der Kupplungshülse 1 und der Kupplungsaufnahme angeordnete Schleifringe und Schleifkontakte. Dabei müssen die im Saugschlauch 2 verlegten Leitungsadern mit dem Schleifring der Kupplungshülse 1 verbunden werden.In order to increase the ease of use of vacuum cleaners, corresponding control elements are provided on the handle of the suction hose, which have to be electrically connected to the control elements arranged in the vacuum cleaner housing via line wires laid in or on the suction hose 2. This electrical connection takes place via corresponding slip rings and sliding contacts arranged on the coupling sleeve 1 and the coupling receptacle. The line wires laid in the suction hose 2 must be connected to the slip ring of the coupling sleeve 1.

An der Kupplungshülse 1 ist ein Leitungskanal 3 angeformt, der zur Aufnahme von die Leitungsadern des Saugschlauches 2 mit den in der Kupplungshülse 1 angeordneten Schleifringen 4 verbindenden elektrischen Leitungen 5 dient. Um das Einbringen der Leitungen 5 zu erleichtern, ist der Leitungskanal 3 auf seiner einen Seite offen ausgebildet. Das Verschließen des Leitungskanales 3 und damit die vollständige Sicherung der Leitungen 5 erfolgt mittels eines Abdeckschiebers 6, der an einer den Saugschlauch 2 an der Kupplungshülse 1 sichernden Kappe 7 angeformt ist. Die Kappe 7 ist verschiebbar auf dem entsprechenden Ende des Saugschlauches 2 angeordnet und wird durch Verschnappen mit der Kupplungshülse 1 verbunden. Bei diesem Verschieben der Kappe 7 wird der Abdeckschieber 6 in an den Wänden des Leitungskanals 3 vorgesehene Nuten 8 eingeschoben. Damit ist der Leitungskanal 3 vollkommen verschlossen.A conduit 3 is formed on the coupling sleeve 1 and serves to receive the electrical lines 5 connecting the line wires of the suction hose 2 with the slip rings 4 arranged in the coupling sleeve 1. In order to facilitate the introduction of the lines 5, the line channel 3 is designed to be open on one side. The closing of the line channel 3 and thus the complete securing of the lines 5 takes place by means of a cover slide 6, which is formed on a cap 7 securing the suction hose 2 to the coupling sleeve 1. The cap 7 is slidably arranged on the corresponding end of the suction hose 2 and is connected to the coupling sleeve 1 by snapping. During this displacement of the cap 7, the cover slide 6 is inserted into grooves 8 provided on the walls of the conduit 3. So that the duct 3 is completely closed.

Um die Leitungen 5 auch vom Ende 9 des Leitungskanales 3 bis zum Anschluß an die auf einem ringförmigen, an der Kupplungshülse 1 angeordneten Träger 10 montierten Schleifringe 4 zu schützen, ist an dem in die Kupplungsaufnahme einsteckbaren Ende der Kupplungshülse 1 ein weiterer Leitungskanal 11 vorgesehen, durch den die Leitungen 5 bis zu den Schleifringen 4 hindurchgeführt sind. Dieser weitere Leitungskanal 11 ist durch eine an dem Träger 10 angeformte Abdecklasche 12 verschließbar. Beim Aufstecken des Trägers 10 auf das in die Kupplungsaufnahme aufsteckbare Rohrende 13 der Kupplungshülse 1 wird die Abdecklasche 12 mit ihren Seitenkanten 14 in Aufnahmevertiefungen 15 des weiteren Leitungskanals 11 eingeschoben. Ein an der Abdecklasche 12 vorgesehener, rechtwinklig abstehender Ansatz 16 überdeckt dabei den zwischen dem Leitungskanal 3 und dem weiteren Leitungskanal 11 liegenden Zwischenbereich.In order to protect the lines 5 also from the end 9 of the line channel 3 to the connection to the slip rings 4 mounted on an annular carrier 10 arranged on the coupling sleeve 1, a further line channel 11 is provided at the end of the coupling sleeve 1 which can be inserted into the coupling receptacle, through which the lines 5 are passed to the slip rings 4. This further line channel 11 can be closed by a cover flap 12 formed on the carrier 10. When the carrier 10 is plugged onto the pipe end 13 of the coupling sleeve 1 which can be plugged into the coupling receptacle, the cover flap 12 is pushed with its side edges 14 into receiving recesses 15 of the further conduit 11. An attachment 16, which is provided on the cover flap 12 and projects at a right angle, covers the intermediate area lying between the conduit 3 and the further conduit 11.

Damit ist von der Anschlußstelle der Leitungsadern des Saugschlauches 2 bis zu der Anschlußstelle an den Schleifringen 4 eine vollkommene Abdeckung der Leitungen 5 erreicht, wobei diese Leitungen zunächst ohne jegliche Schwierigkeiten in die offen ausgebildeten Leitungskanäle 3 und 11 eingebracht werden können.Thus, from the connection point of the line wires of the suction hose 2 to the connection point on the slip rings 4, complete coverage of the lines 5 is achieved, these lines being able to be introduced into the openly formed line channels 3 and 11 without any difficulties.
