Definitions

  • the invention initially relates to a method for operating a vacuum cleaner with a suction nozzle according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a method of the type in question is from the WO97 / 26819 A2 known.
  • a method is specified, by means of which the respective instantaneous direction of movement, ie the direction of displacement of the suction nozzle is detected and varied in dependence on this reaching the acting negative pressure.
  • This solution results from the finding that, especially in a suction treatment of carpets, a relatively high negative pressure prevails in the region of the suction mouth corresponding to the floor to be maintained, which negative pressure per se already has a lasting effect on the user. Due to the confirmation of the suction nozzle by the user, usually with the aid of a rigid handle, eg. Suction tube or the like, another resistance occurs, which varies depending on the direction of travel of the suction nozzle.
  • the force load is measured both in thrust and in traction and as a result both the thrust and the draw resistance is regulated to an approximately equal level.
  • the action is effected by a change in the negative pressure in the suction nozzle, wherein a measure is selected with respect to the negative pressure change, which achieves an appropriate, constant force load for the user with in particular on the ground related optimal cleaning result. This proves to be particularly advantageous in that since carpet cleaning only certain maximum volume flows are required depending on the type of carpet to clean the carpet optimally. Higher volume flows would only be higher, unintentional by the user
  • a force sensor is seated in the power flow chain, for example, between the handle of the vacuum cleaner in hand vacuum cleaners or the suction tube in Bodenstaubsaugem and the suction nozzle. This force sensor registers the pushing force in both pulling and pushing operation.
  • the measured variable serves as an input signal to a control which, for example, influences the negative pressure at the suction nozzle in such a way that the pushing force corresponds to a predetermined desired value. Furthermore, it is also possible to measure the force load in the region of a joint between the vacuum cleaner and the suction nozzle. In the case of suction nozzles, which have an electric motor-driven, rotatable brush for tillage, it is proposed that in addition to the force load, the current consumption of the brush motor is evaluated. As a result, even short-term jumps in the pushing force, which are caused primarily by the change of the floor covering, can be detected quickly and safely.
  • the motor current changes very quickly with a change in the floor covering, whereby the load is usually high for carpets and comparatively small for hard floors.
  • the absolute value is not according to the method the motor current, but rather evaluated the change of the same, as it provides a clear measurement signal regardless of the absolute value.
  • the negative pressure change is performed in proportion to the measured pressure force and / or power of the brush motor. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the negative pressure change is performed over or under proportional to the measured pressure force and / or power of the brush motor.
  • the vacuum cleaner has its own, causing a feed traversing drive, wherein further, if necessary, in addition to a change in the negative pressure, a change in the feed is made automatically. Accordingly, even with soils, which must be cleaned due to their design or due to the degree of contamination with an increased cleaning performance and thus with an increased negative pressure, the shear and / or draw resistance by activating the travel drive to a level suitable for the user is adjustable. In this case, for example, the travel drive can be switched on only in overrun mode.
  • the change in the negative pressure for acting on the thrust resistance and / or the draw resistance is further preferably carried out by means of a variation of a secondary air opening and / or a speed change of a fan wheel.
  • a secondary air opening may be provided in the suction nozzle whose opening cross-section is changed more or less depending on the measured force load.
  • the change in the negative pressure can also be effected by electrical regulation of the engine power or rotational speed of the fan wheel producing the suction air volume flow.
  • a change in the negative pressure can also be effected by regulating the suction power cross-section, for example by controlling a rotary flap in the suction line.
  • the distance between the suction nozzle bottom and floor to be cleaned can be varied. The inventive method increases the ease of use of a vacuum cleaner considerably.
  • the suction power can be kept constant in push and pull operation, which further a simple and useful Schiebekraftbegrenzung is achieved with an automatic function for the user.
  • a simple and useful Schiebekraftbegrenzung is achieved with an automatic function for the user.
  • an indirect identification of the floor coverings by means of existing physical parameters or use of special measuring sensors such. As negative pressure sensors, etc. conceivable, which parameters may optionally be used in addition to the thrust resistance regulation.
  • the invention further relates to a vacuum cleaner with a suction nozzle according to the features of the preamble of claim 9.
  • a vacuum cleaner of the type in question is from the above-mentioned WO97 / 26819 A2
  • sensor means responsive to the respective direction of movement (forward, backward) of the suction nozzle and further has switching means which vary the negative pressure or the air currents in the region of the suction nozzle in dependence on the detected direction of movement.
  • the invention has as its object to design a vacuum cleaner of the type in question Whyungsfrenlicher.
  • the force measuring device is arranged in the suction nozzle.
  • the sliding resistance is influenced as a function of the detected force load.
  • the core of the invention is the detection of the sliding force of the suction nozzle and the feedback to suitable devices for adjusting the thrust resistance.
  • the force load is measured in any case during overrun and the thrust resistance is leveled. It is further preferred that the force load is measured both in thrust and in traction and as a result both the thrust and the draw resistance is regulated to an approximately equal level.
  • the action takes place by a change in the negative pressure in the suction nozzle, wherein a measure is selected with regard to the negative pressure change, which achieves an adequate, constant force load for the user with in particular on the ground related optimal cleaning result. This proves to be particularly advantageous in that since carpet cleaning only certain maximum volume flows are required depending on the type of carpet to clean the carpet optimally. Higher volume flows would only produce higher, unwanted by the user pushing or pulling forces.
  • a force sensor sits in the power flow chain, for example, between the handle of the vacuum cleaner with hand vacuum cleaners or the suction tube in Bodenstaubsaugem and the suction nozzle. This force sensor registers the pushing force in both pulling and pushing operation.
  • the measured size serves as an input signal of a control, for example, the negative pressure at the suction nozzle influenced so that the pushing force corresponds to a predetermined target.
  • the vacuum cleaner has its own, causing a feed traversing drive, wherein further, if necessary, in addition to a change in the negative pressure, a change in the feed is made automatically.
  • the shear and / or draw resistance by activating the travel drive to a level suitable for the user is adjustable.
  • the travel drive can be switched on only in overrun mode.
  • the change in the negative pressure for acting on the thrust resistance and / or the draw resistance is further preferably carried out by means of a variation of a secondary air opening and / or a speed change of a fan wheel. Accordingly, a secondary air opening may be provided in the suction nozzle whose opening cross-section is changed more or less depending on the measured force load.
  • the change in the negative pressure can also be effected by electrical regulation of the engine power or rotational speed of the fan wheel producing the suction air volume flow.
  • a negative pressure change can be made by, for example, controlling a rotary valve in the suction line to vary the pipe diameter.
  • a change in vacuum is achieved by changing the distance between the suction nozzle bottom and the substrate to be cleaned. The measurement of the force takes place primarily in the stem or intake pipe direction, accordingly in the effective direction.
  • the force measuring device may consist of a strain gauge.
  • the arrangement of a force sensor, a capacitive sensor, a piezoresistive sensor, a Faraday sensor or a pressure sensor is conceivable.

  • a capacitive sensor can be arranged, for example, between a suction nozzle and the air duct. If an optical sensor is provided for force measurement, the change in the light intensity or the refractive index is measured via this.
  • a recognition of the way or the force is also possible via a spring-way system as an eccentric between a joint piece and chassis possible.
  • About springs can be a certain moment or a force that opposes the pushing force of the user. This path change can be queried accordingly.
  • the power consumption of an engine and / or a rotational speed of a rotating brush located in the suction nozzle can be evaluated.
  • a carpet processing brush having attachments or suction nozzles it is also known to provide them with a parking switch, which is switched off at a standstill of the vacuum cleaner despite running Sauggebläsemotor at least the drive motor of the brush to protect the floor covering. Due to the inventive design, such a parking switch can be omitted.
  • the force measuring device detects the rest position, since no shear or tensile load occur in this. As a result, the rotating brush is automatically switched off.
  • a taring of the system can take place via this parking position.
  • the parking position is detected and evaluated, wherein the force acting on the suction nozzle or on the attachment weight of the vacuum cleaner housing, the suction tube and / or the suction hose serve as a tare weight. Taring is also possible in any other defined rest position and, in addition, by averaging from the measured values for the forward and return strokes.
