Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum cleaner with a dirt collecting container which surrounds a dirt collecting space and is in flow communication with a suction inlet and a suction unit, and with at least one filter element arranged in the flow path from the dirt collecting container to the suction unit, to which a filter cleaning device is assigned.
  • Vacuum cleaners are increasingly being used in combination with a power tool, for example a grinding or milling device, in order to be able to suck off the large quantities of dust accumulated during the use of the power tool and to be able to transfer them to the dirt collecting space.
  • a power tool for example a grinding or milling device
  • the large amounts of dust have the result that the at least one filter element of the vacuum cleaner is added within a short time by deposit on the surface of the filter element dirt particles and lead to an increasing pressure loss through the filter element. It must therefore be interrupted in many cases after a relatively short time, the suction operation for cleaning the filter element.
  • known vacuum cleaners often include a filter cleaning device with which the at least one filter element can be cleaned, for example, by means of a vibrator or a foreign air flowing through the filter element against the flow direction prevailing during the suction operation.
  • a filter cleaning device with which the at least one filter element can be cleaned, for example, by means of a vibrator or a foreign air flowing through the filter element against the flow direction prevailing during the suction operation.
  • Such vacuum cleaners are known for example from DE 298 23 411 U1.
  • the filter element can be cleaned by means of a filter cleaning device, in this case the suction operation must either be completely interrupted for filter cleaning or the suction operation can be performed during filter cleaning only with reduced suction power.
  • centrifugal separators are usually referred to as cyclones.
  • the use of a cyclone has the advantage that even with large amounts of dust a continuous suction operation can be carried out, since no increasing pressure loss forms within the cyclone, as is the case with a filter element.
  • the use of a cyclone often leads only to an insufficient separation of dust and dirt from the suction air.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned in such a way that large amounts of dust can be sucked without the risk of constipation exists.
  • the at least one cyclone and the other the downstream Filter element are used, namely on the one hand, the at least one cyclone and the other the downstream Filter element.
  • the filter element is associated with a Filterabtherapiesvoriques by which the filter element can be cleaned, if this should be necessary despite the upstream cyclone, for example, for a long period of operation with very large accumulating dust.
  • the vacuum cleaner according to the invention is thus characterized by a very high level of effectiveness, so that it can be used in particular in combination with a power tool, the use of which involves very large amounts of dust.
  • the amounts of dust can be effectively sucked off, whereby it is only necessary after relatively large periods of time to clean the filter element by means of the filter cleaning device.
  • the filter element As low it has been found to arrange the filter element above the at least one cyclone. Thereby, the assembly of the vacuum cleaner can be simplified.
  • the dip tube extends funnel-shaped above the cyclone.
  • the suction air flowing through undergoes a reduction in speed, which already results in a separation effect, so that inside the funnel shape widening portion of the dip tube can deposit a part of the entrained dirt and dust particles.
  • the dirt collecting container forms an outer wall of the cyclone.
  • the dirt collecting container on the one hand surrounds the dirt collection in which deposited dirt and dust particles can be accumulated, on the other defines the dirt collector the outer wall of the cyclone, so that the sucked into the dirt collecting suction air within the dirt collection carries out a swirling motion and consequently entrained Dirt and dust particles are exposed to a centrifugal force.
  • the cyclone has a cylindrical outer wall which is disposed within the dirt collecting container. It can be provided that the cylindrical outer wall can be inserted into the dirt collecting container, wherein it forms an independently manageable unit.
  • a cyclone separation device upstream of the filter element, is arranged with a housing which accommodates the at least one cyclone and surrounds at least one separation space for dirt particles separated by the cyclone from the suction air.
  • the vacuum cleaner on three successive Abscheideichn wherein the at least one filter element the represents last separation stage and therefore is charged only with a relatively small amount of dust.
  • the first separation stage can be formed by the dirt collecting space into which the suction air laden with dirt and dust can enter via the suction inlet. Larger dirt particles are deposited due to the gravity acting on them within the dirt collecting space.
  • an air guiding element and / or at least one baffle plate may be arranged in the dirt collecting space, with the aid of which an abrupt reduction in the flow velocity of the suction air laden with dirt and dust can be achieved.
  • the Zyklonabscheidevoriques can be used with the at least one cyclically separated from the dirt collecting chamber cyclone, which is associated with a separation chamber, which is separated from the dirt collecting space through the housing of Zyklonabscheidevorraum.
  • a centrifugal separation in that the suction air flowing into the cyclone rotates within the Zykons with high angular velocity, so that the entrained with the suction air dirt particles are subjected to a centrifugal force and thus deposited on the wall of the cyclone.
  • the deposited dirt particles are deposited in the separation chamber of the Zyklonabscheidevorraum, while the suction air having only a very small amount of ultrafine dust is supplied to the at least one downstream of the Zyklonabscheidevortechnisch arranged filter element.
  • the filter element can form a third separation stage. Since coarser dirt particles have already been deposited in the dirt collecting space by the action of gravity and a further portion of the entrained by the suction dirt particles were separated by the cyclone from the suction air, the filter element is subject to only a relatively low dust load, so that even with high amounts of dust be absorbed by the vacuum cleaner according to the invention, the risk of clogging of the at least one filter element is considerably reduced. However, the use of the filter element ensures that the exhaust air leaving the vacuum cleaner carries virtually no fine dust with it.
  • the Zyklonabscheidevorettivorettivoretti Vietnamese downstream of the dirt collecting chamber is related to the flow direction of the suction air. It can also be provided that the sucked suction air is first supplied to the Zyklonabscheidevortechnisch over the suction inlet and thus subjected to a centrifugal separation in a first separation stage, then followed by a gravity separation in the cyclone downstream of the dirt collecting chamber.
  • the cyclone separation device is arranged in the flow path from the dirt collection chamber to the filter element is preferred.
  • the cyclone separation device is arranged in the dirt collecting container.

  • the at least two cyclones may be assigned a common separation space to which the dirt particles deposited in the respective cyclone can be supplied. It is advantageous, however, if each of the at least two cyclones is assigned a separate separation chamber. As a result, a higher degree of separation can be achieved because the suction air flows within the two cyclones can not influence each other.
  • the at least one cyclone is preferably vertically aligned in the operating position of the vacuum cleaner, so that by gravity, an emptying of the cyclone is supported.
  • a particularly effective centrifugal separation can be achieved in that the at least one cyclone has a relation to the central axis of the cyclone tangentially, spirally or helically extending input line through which the suction air can be fed to the cyclone.
  • Such a configuration also has the advantage that, when two cyclones are arranged next to one another, the respective inlet lines opening into the cyclone can have a relatively large distance from each other. As a result, a gap is created between the two input lines, in which, for example, the suction unit of the vacuum cleaner can dip.
  • the vacuum cleaner can be made particularly compact despite the use of two cyclones.

If an apex cone is used, it is arranged on the end of the hollow body formed by the cyclone facing away from the dip tube.
  • the suction air forms a vortex along the central axis of the cyclone housing.
  • the dip tube connects colinearly to the central axis of the cyclone housing. This has the consequence that the suction air also carries out a vortex movement within the dip tube. It is therefore advantageous if a flow-guiding element is arranged in the dip tube for transferring the swirling motion of the suction air into a linear movement. This makes it possible to convert at least part of the rotational energy of the outflowing suction air into pressure energy.

  • the filter element is swept by means of the filter cleaning device in the counterflow direction of foreign air.
  • the external air flowing through the filter element as a result of the suction operation of the vacuum cleaner in the flow direction triggers off this adhering dirt particle.
  • the external air is supplied to the filter element abruptly, so that the filter element experiences a shock due to the applied external air, through which the cleaning of the filter is amplified.
  • the vacuum cleaner for filling the pressure accumulator comprises a compressed air generator, preferably a diaphragm pump.
  • the filter cleaning device can be activated by the user of the vacuum cleaner. The user can thereby determine when a cleaning of the filter should take place, the filter cleaning itself can then be carried out without the assistance of the user.
  • the filter cleaning device is electrically activated by the user.
  • a pneumatic activation of the filter cleaning device has proven.
  • the latter can take place in that a valve is arranged at a suction nozzle which can be connected via a suction hose to the suction inlet of the vacuum cleaner, with the aid of which the user can close a flow passage of the suction nozzle.
  • a valve element arranged downstream of the filter element can then abruptly assume its open position, so that external air can be supplied via the valve element to the at least one filter element which flows through the filter element in the countercurrent direction. If the user releases the flow passage of the suction nozzle again, then suction air can flow into the vacuum cleaner and the negative pressure prevailing in the area of the filter element is reduced so that the valve element automatically moves into its closed position, in which it prevents the supply of external air.
  • the vacuum cleaner has a filter dirt space arranged upstream of the at least one filter element and separated from the dirt collecting space, into which at least part of the scrap particles detached from the filter element by means of the filter cleaning device can be transferred. Dirt particles accumulating during filter cleaning can be collected in the filter dirt compartment, which can be emptied by the user as required.
  • the filter dirt compartment is formed in an insert which can be inserted into the dirt collecting container.
  • the filter dirt compartment is separated from a separation chamber which is assigned to the at least one cyclone.

  • the slideway forms a chute, which can be arranged below and upstream of the filter element, so that at least a portion of the detaching from the filter element during the filter cleaning dirt particles impinge on the slideway and slide along this and fall into the filter dirt compartment.
  • the dip tube of the at least one cyclone opens into the slideway.
  • the slideway is preferably arranged in the vertical direction between the cyclone and the filter element.
