  • the suction device 5 is by means of a flexible suction line 14 in one known filter system shown connected, which in addition to a filter, Valves, pumps also a pressure line 15 for returning the cleaned Contains liquid (of water).
  • the filter system can be designed accordingly be that the filter is replaceable and backflushable and nozzle for Emptying and draining, which is also controlled by timers Valves, e.g. B. solenoid valves a predetermined or due to Operating program controlled by measuring parameters also automatically if necessary can also be carried out with the involvement of sensors. Because like that Filter systems and their designs are widely known here No description. By means of the pressure line 15 of the filter system cleaned liquid are fed back to the tub 2.
  • the suction device 5 should move forward and inside the tub 2 be arranged to be moved back.
  • the suction device 5 contains a central pressure chamber 16 (see FIGS. 3 and 5), in which on an axis of rotation 17 or rotatable about a fixed axis Water wheel 18 is arranged.
  • the pressure line 15 merges into a nozzle 19, which ends in two separate passages 20, 21 in the pressure chamber 16, the are arranged symmetrically to the central axis ZA (Fig. 5) at a distance from this.
  • the passages 20, 21 is preceded by a two-way valve 22, which is optional closes one of the two passages and opens the other or vice versa.
  • the central pressure chamber 16 longitudinal slots 23 with flaps 24, the Flaps 24 are arranged so that they move with a flow close from above and open when there is a flow from below (see the arrows with black heads in Fig. 5).
  • the axis 17 or that is Water wheel 18 with a vehicle in the form of belts preferably two spaced-apart toothed belt 25 coupled (in the 3 is shown only one).
  • the timing belt 25 are with preferably at the end of arms 26 on the housing of the suction device 5 rotatably mounted deflection rollers or deflection gears 27 and can in the intermediate area at least via a support roller or a support gear 28 be guided.
  • the toothed belt 25 preferably also have double-sided teeth. At a Such execution form inclinations of the floor and also slight Levels no problem.
