Abstract

When no identification is recognized, the control electronics (17) operate the fan (12) and/or other items to reduce an operational parameter. This reduces dust acceptance by the bag (5) or other dependent parameters. In this way the vacuum cleaner does not develop its maximum power or capability. The control electronics reduce the power of the fan. The vacuum cleaner has a selector capable of reducing fan power independently of any power setting selected by the user.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Staubsaugers mit einem Gebläse, mit einer Steuerelektronik zur Beeinflussung der Drehzahl bzw. Leistung des Antriebsmotors des Gebläses und/oder zur Beeinflussung von weiteren Verbrauchern, wie z. B. einer Anzeigeeinrichtung, mit einem Staubraum zur Aufnahme eines luftdurchlässigen Staubbeutels aus Papier oder Vliesstoff, wobei der Staubbeutel eine Kennung und der Staubsauger eine der Steuerelektronik zugeordnete Einrichtung zur Identifikation der Kennung besitzt.The invention relates to a method for operating a vacuum cleaner with a blower, with control electronics for influencing the speed or power of the drive motor of the blower and / or for influencing other consumers, such. As a display device, with a dust chamber for receiving an air-permeable dust bag made of paper or non-woven fabric, the dust bag has an identifier and the vacuum cleaner associated with the control electronics means for identifying the identifier.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind derartige Staubsauger bekannt, in denen die schmutzbeladene Saugluft zunächst über einen Einwegstaubbeutel gefiltert wird. Zum einfachen Einsetzen des Staubbeutels in den Staubraum ist der Beutel mit einer Halteplatte um den Öffnungsbereich der Einlassöffnung ausgestattet, die in eine Halterung im Staubraum eingesetzt wird. In der Regel werden Staubbeutel vom Staubsauger-Hersteller oder autorisierten Zulieferern angeboten. Hierdurch ist eine Qualitätskontrolle möglich, so dass die Staubbeutel auf die Anforderungen abgestimmt sind, die vom jeweiligen Staubsauger an ihre Reißfestigkeit, ihr Rückhaltevermögen und andere Parameter gestellt werden. Es werden aber auch nicht autorisierte Billig-Staubbeutel angeboten, die diesen Anforderungen nicht entsprechen. Denn wird ein Staubbeutel eines Fremdherstellers verwendet, kann nicht verhindert werden, dass beim Betreiben des Staubsaugers das Gerät Schaden nimmt, weil beispielsweise ein Staubbeutel während des Betriebs des Staubsaugers zerstört wird. Beim Einsatz eines nicht autorisierten Staubbeutels ist es auch möglich, dass die Gebläseleistung nicht ihre volle Wirkung erbringt.From the prior art such vacuum cleaners are known in which the dirt-laden suction air is first filtered through a disposable dust bag. For easy insertion of the dust bag in the dust chamber, the bag is equipped with a holding plate around the opening portion of the inlet opening, which is inserted into a holder in the dust chamber. Usually, dust bags are offered by the vacuum cleaner manufacturer or authorized suppliers. As a result, a quality control is possible, so that the dust bags are adapted to the requirements that are made by the respective vacuum cleaner on their tensile strength, their retention capacity and other parameters. But there are also unauthorized low-priced dust bags offered that do not meet these requirements. Because if a dust bag from a third-party manufacturer is used, it can not be prevented that the device will be damaged when the vacuum cleaner is operated, for example because a dust bag is destroyed during operation of the vacuum cleaner. When using an unauthorized dust bag, it is also possible that the blower output does not produce its full effect.

Die vorgenannten Probleme können auch auftreten, wenn zwar ein vom Staubsauger-Hersteller autorisierter Original-Staubbeutel eingelegt wird, dieser aber in der Größe nicht passend für den verwendeten Staubsauger ist.The above-mentioned problems may also occur if an original dust bag authorized by the vacuum cleaner manufacturer is inserted, but this size is not suitable for the vacuum cleaner used.

Aus der DE 299 22 289 U1 ist ein System zur Identifizierung und Authentifizierung von Zubehör-, Hilfs- und/oder Betriebsstoffen für technische Gräte bekannt, mit dessen Hilfe ein Staubsauger einen nicht autorisierten Staubbeutel erkennt und darauf hin den Betrieb sperrt. Beim Benutzer, der diese Funktion eventuell nicht kennt, entsteht der Verdacht auf einen technischen Defekt und es entstehen Wartungskosten. Darüber hinaus wird der Benutzer in der Wahl des Staubbeutels unzulässig eingeschränkt, er kann sich nämlich nicht bewusst für Billig-Staubbeutel entscheiden.From the DE 299 22 289 U1 is a system for the identification and authentication of accessories, supplies and / or supplies known for technical bone, with the help of a vacuum cleaner detects an unauthorized dust bag and then blocks the operation. The user, who may not know this function, suspects a technical defect and costs maintenance. In addition, the user is impermissibly restricted in the choice of the dust bag, namely, he can not consciously opt for cheap dust bag.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Staubsaugers der eingangs genannten Art zu offenbaren, welches diesen Nachteil vermeidet und trotzdem eine Gefährdung des Staubsaugers durch qualitativ minderwertige Staubbeutel unterbindet.The invention thus presents the problem to disclose a method for operating a vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned, which avoids this disadvantage and still prevents endangering the vacuum cleaner by low-quality dust bag.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a method having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Dadurch, dass am Staubbeutel eine Kennung angeordnet ist, die von einer im Staubsauger angeordneten Einrichtung identifiziert werden kann, und dass bei Nicht-Identifikation der Kennung die Steuerelektronik das Gebläse und/oder die weiteren Verbraucher in der Weise beeinflusst, dass mindestens ein die Staubaufnahme des Staubbeutels bestimmender oder davon abhängiger Parameter reduziert wird, wird gewährleistet, dass der Staubsauger in einer auf den Beutel optimal angepassten Weise arbeitet und nur bei Verwendung von autorisierten Staubbeuteln sein maximales Leistungsvermögen entfaltet. Die passende Gebläseleistung kann eingestellt werden, entweder durch Reduzieren unabhängig von der ausgewählten Leistung oder in der Art, dass die Leistung lediglich einem Teil der ausgewählten Größe entspricht, wenn ein nicht identifizierbarer und damit nicht autorisierter Staubbeutel eingelegt wurde.Characterized in that the dust bag an identifier is arranged, which can be identified by a device arranged in the vacuum cleaner, and that in non-identification of the identifier, the control electronics affects the fan and / or the other consumers in such a way that at least one of the dust of the Dust bag determining or dependent on this parameter is ensured that the vacuum cleaner works in an optimally adapted to the bag way and unfolds its maximum performance only when using authorized dust bags. The appropriate blower output can be adjusted, either by reducing whatever power is selected or in such a way that the power is only part of the selected size when an unidentifiable and thus unauthorized dustbag has been inserted.

Weiter werden Verärgerungen des Kunden durch geplatzte Staubbeutel vermieden. Motor- oder Abluftfilter werden zum richtigen Zeitpunkt gewechselt, auch die Staubbeutel-Wechselanzeige arbeitet zuverlässiger. Die Wechselanzeige kann dabei in Abhängigkeit des eingesetzten Staubbeutels gesteuert sein. Nur bei den autorisierten Staubbeuteln wird die maximale Betriebszeit erreicht, bei minderwertigen Produkten muss früher gewechselt werden. Eine im Staubraum angeordnete Vorrichtung zur Kompression des Staubbeutels kann deaktiviert oder in der Funktion vermindert werden. Zudem können für den Kundendienst Informationen über die Benutzung eines nicht autorisierten Staubbeutels und daraus resultierende Fehler in einem nichtflüchtigen Speicher abgelegt werden.Further annoyances of the customer are avoided by burst dust bag. Engine or exhaust air filters are changed at the right time, and the dust bag change indicator works more reliably. The change indicator can be controlled depending on the dust bag used. Only with the authorized dust bags the maximum operating time is reached, with inferior products must be changed earlier. An arranged in the dust chamber device for compressing the dust bag can be disabled or reduced in function. In addition, for the customer service information about the use of an unauthorized dust bag and resulting errors can be stored in a non-volatile memory.

Weiter kann eine Kombination eines Sensors zur Ermittlung des aufgenommenen Staubs (bekannt aus der PCT/EP2005/000944 ) mit der Herstellerangabe des Staubbeutels vorgenommen werden. Mit der Information über die aufgenommene Staubmenge kann die Staubwechselanzeige noch genauer gesteuert werden. Wird ein nicht autorisierter Staubbeutel festgestellt, wird die Leistung des Gerätes reduziert. Muss der Staubbeutel gewechselt werden, zeigt ein Display an, welche Staubbeutelgröße nachgekauft werden muss, um Unsicherheiten des Kunden bezüglich der geeigneten Größe zu vermeiden. Der Kundendienst kann auslesen, ob autorisierte Staubbeutel verwendet wurden, dabei können Garantieansprüche seitens des Kunden beeinflusst werden.Furthermore, a combination of a sensor for detecting the absorbed dust (known from the PCT / EP2005 / 000944 ) with the manufacturer of the dust bag. With the information about the recorded amount of dust, the dust change indicator can be controlled even more accurately. If an unauthorized dust bag is detected, the performance of the device will be reduced. If the dust bag needs to be replaced, a display will indicate which dust bag size needs to be rebuilt to avoid customer uncertainty about the appropriate size. After-sales service can check if authorized dustbags have been used, and warranty claims can be influenced by the customer.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform wird als Kennung ein Transponder und als Einrichtung zur Identifikation der Kennung eine den Transponder aktivierende Sende-/Empfangseinrichtung verwendet. Diese Art der Staubbeutelerkennung ist kostengünstig zu realisieren und benötigt keine elektrischen Leitungen, die von der Staubbeutelaufnahme zur Steuerelektronik verlegt werden müssen.According to an advantageous development according to a first embodiment, a transponder is used as identifier and a transmitter / receiver device activating the transponder as means for identifying the identifier. This type of dust bag detection is inexpensive to implement and does not require electrical cables that must be routed from the dust bag receptacle to the control electronics.

Gemäß einer Alternative besteht die Möglichkeit, als Kennung eine am Staubbeutel, insbesondere an einer Halteplatte des Staubbeutels angeordnete optische Markierung und als Einrichtung zur Identifikation der Kennung eine Vorrichtung zur optischen Mustererkennung zu verwenden. Dabei kann beispielsweise auch zur optischen Wahrnehmung der optisch lesbare Datenträger ein holographisches Firmenlogo umfassen. Der Kunde sieht also direkt schon, dass er hier ein vom Hersteller autorisiertes Zubehörteil verwendet.According to an alternative, it is possible to use as an identifier an optical marking arranged on the dust bag, in particular on a retaining plate of the dust bag, and as device for identifying the identifier, a device for optical pattern recognition. In this case, for example, for the optical perception of the optically readable data carrier include a holographic company logo. The customer thus already sees directly that he uses an accessory authorized by the manufacturer here.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der geschnittenen Seitenansicht rein schematisch einen Bodenstaubsauger 1. Dessen Gehäuse 2 ist in einen Staubraum 3 und einen Gebläseraum 4 unterteilt. Der Staubraum 3 dient zur Aufnahme von Staubbeuteln 5. Hierzu ist innerhalb des Staubraums 3 in bekannter Weise (siehe beispielsweise DE 103 34 894 B3 ) eine Aufnahme 25 für die Halteplatte des Staubbeutels 5 angeordnet. Der Staubbeutel 5 liegt dann bei geschlossenem Deckel 6 mit seiner Einlassöffnung 7 (siehe Figur 2) hinter der Ansaugöffnung 8 des Staubsaugers 1, an die hier nur angedeutet ein Saugschlauch 9 angeschlossen ist. Um schmutzbeladene Saugluft, in der Figur 1 durch den Pfeil 10 symbolisiert, durch den Staubbeutel 5 leiten zu können, ist in dem vom Staubraum 3 durch eine Zwischenwand 11 getrennten Gebläseraum 4 ein motorbetriebenes Gebläse 12 angeordnet, welches mit seiner Saugseite zum Staubraum 3 gerichtet ist. Bei eingeschaltetem Gebläse 12 - zum Einschalten ist eine Betätigungstaste 13 vorgesehen - strömt die Saugluft über den Ansaugstutzen durch den Staubbeutel 5, wird dort gefiltert, passiert einen Motorfilter 14, und wird dann vom Gebläse 12 über einen Abluftfilter 15 gereinigt in die Umgebung ausgestoßen. Die Gebläseleistung kann in bekannter Weise durch einen Leistungssteller, in der Figur 1 dargestellt als Drehwahlschalter 16, variiert werden. Der Leistungssteller wirkt mit einer Steuerelektronik 17 zusammen, die die Spannung des Gebläsemotors 18 beeinflusst und dadurch die Motordrehzahl einstellt. In der Steuerelektronik 17 ist außerdem eine Einrichtung 19 zur Identifikation einer später beschriebenen Kennung am Staubbeutel 5 integriert. Außerdem besitzt die Steuerelektronik 17 einen nichtflüchtigen Speicher 20. Neben dem Gebläsemotor 18 beeinflusst die Steuerelektronik auch eine Anzeigeeinheit 21, in der Wechselanzeigen für den Staubeutel 5, den Motorfilter 14 und den Abluftfilter 15 vorgesehen sein können. Der Staubsauger 1 kann außerdem, wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt und aus der z. Zt. unveröffentlichten Deutschen Patentanmeldung 102005002420.3 bekannt, eine im Staubraum 3 angeordnete Vorrichtung 22 besitzen, welche den Staubbeutel 5 nach dem Abschalten des Gebläses 12 komprimiert, wodurch die Aufnahmekapazität erhöht wird.FIG. 1 shows, in a sectional side view, purely schematically a floor vacuum cleaner 1. Its housing 2 is subdivided into a dust chamber 3 and a fan chamber 4. The dust chamber 3 is used to hold dust bags 5. For this purpose, within the dust chamber 3 in a known manner (see, for example DE 103 34 894 B3 ) A receptacle 25 for the retaining plate of the dust bag 5 is arranged. The dust bag 5 is then closed lid 6 with its inlet opening 7 (see Figure 2) behind the suction port 8 of the vacuum cleaner 1, to which only a suction hose 9 is connected here. To dirt-laden suction air, symbolized in the figure 1 by the arrow 10 to be able to pass through the dust bag 5, a motorized fan 12 is arranged in the separate from the dust chamber 3 by a partition wall fan chamber 4, which is directed with its suction side to the dust chamber 3 , When the blower 12 is switched on - an actuating button 13 is provided for switching on - the suction air flows through the dust bag 5 through the dust bag, is filtered there, passes through a motor filter 14, and is then discharged from the blower 12 via an exhaust air filter 15 into the environment. The blower power can be varied in a known manner by a power controller, shown in FIG. 1 as a rotary selector switch 16. The power controller cooperates with an electronic control unit 17, which the Influenced voltage of the blower motor 18 and thereby adjusts the engine speed. In the control electronics 17, a device 19 for identifying a later-described identifier on the dust bag 5 is also integrated. In addition, the control electronics 17 has a nonvolatile memory 20. In addition to the blower motor 18, the control electronics also affect a display unit 21 in which change displays for the dust bag 5, the engine filter 14 and the exhaust filter 15 may be provided. The vacuum cleaner 1 may also, as shown in the figure 1 and from the z. Currently unpublished German patent application 102005002420.3 known to have arranged in the dust chamber 3 device 22 which compresses the dust bag 5 after switching off the fan 12, whereby the receiving capacity is increased.

Die Figur 2 zeigt einen Staubbeutel 5, umfassend einen zur Staubaufnahme aus Papier oder Vliesstoff gebildeten luftdurchlässigen Sack 23 aus Filtermaterial. Der Sack 23 weist dabei eine Einlassöffnung 7 für die zu filternde Luft auf, wobei zur fluchtenden Halterung der Einlassöffnung in der Staubkammer um die kreisförmige Einlassöffnung eine Halteplatte 24 angeordnet ist. Wie in Figur 1 angedeutet, wird die Halteplatte 24 in eine Aufnahme 25 hinter der Ansaugöffnung 8 der Staubkammer 3 eingesteckt, so dass ein sicherer Halt des Beutels 5 in der Staubkammer 3 gegeben ist. In Figur 2 ist außerdem zu erkennen, dass an der Halteplatte 24 eine Kennung 26 angeordnet ist, die von der in der Steuerelektronik 17 integrierten Einrichtung 19 identifiziert werden kann.FIG. 2 shows a dust bag 5, comprising an air-permeable bag 23 made of filter material and formed for the purpose of collecting dust from paper or nonwoven fabric. The bag 23 in this case has an inlet opening 7 for the air to be filtered, wherein a retaining plate 24 is arranged for the flush mounting of the inlet opening in the dust chamber to the circular inlet opening. As indicated in Figure 1, the holding plate 24 is inserted into a receptacle 25 behind the suction port 8 of the dust chamber 3, so that a secure hold of the bag 5 is given in the dust chamber 3. In addition, it can be seen in FIG. 2 that an identifier 26, which can be identified by the device 19 integrated in the control electronics 17, is arranged on the holding plate 24.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform, dargestellt in der Figur 3, umfasst die Kennung 26 einen Transponder mit einem Chip 27 und einer Antenne 28, die auf der Halteplatte 24 befestigt sind. Dabei verfügt die Steuerelektronik 17 des Staubsaugers 1 über eine integrierte Transponderleseeinheit, bestehend aus einer Sendeeinrichtung 29, welche den Chip 27 aktiviert und veranlasst, seine gespeicherten Daten zu senden, und einer Empfangseinheit 30, die diese Daten aufnimmt und weiter verarbeitet. Auf dem Chip 27 des Transponders sind Daten wie Staubbeutel-Typ, Größe und Hersteller gespeichert. Bei Identifikation eines passenden Staubbeuteltyps für den jeweiligen Staubsauger 1 kann dann die Steuerelektronik 17 den Saugbetrieb in der üblichen Weise in Gang setzen. Bei Nicht-Identifikation, d. h., wenn am Staubbeutel 5 entweder gar kein Transponder vorhanden ist oder der Chip 27 Daten enthält, die den eingelegten Staubbeuteltyp als unpassend für den Staubsauger 1 ausweisen, können Maßnahmen einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander durch die Steuerelektronik 17 verursacht werden, welche die Staubaufnahme des Staubbeutels 5 reduzieren oder von der Staubaufnahme abhängige Parameter, wie bspw. die Ansteuerfrequenz von Wechselanzeigen reduzieren. Es sind dies

  • die Reduzierung der Gebläseleistung, entweder unabhängig von der ausgewählten Leistung, oder als Teil der ausgewählten Leistung,
  • eine vorzeitige Aktivierung der Wechselanzeige für den Staubbeutel 5, den Motorfilter 14 oder den Abluftfilter 15, und
  • das Deaktivieren der Vorrichtung 22 zur Kompression des Staubbeutels 5 oder eine Verminderung ihrer Funktion.
Außerdem legt die Steuerelektronik 17 die Information, dass ein nicht autorisierter oder ein falscher Staubbeutel 5 benutzt wurde, in dem nichtflüchtigen Speicher 20 ab, den ein Kundendienstmonteur auslesen kann und dadurch Hinweise auf eine unsachgemäße Benutzung erhält.According to a first embodiment, shown in FIG. 3, the identifier 26 comprises a transponder with a chip 27 and an antenna 28, which are fastened on the holding plate 24. In this case, the control electronics 17 of the vacuum cleaner 1 via an integrated transponder reading unit, consisting of a transmitting device 29, which activates the chip 27 and causes to send its stored data, and a receiving unit 30 which receives this data and further processed. On the chip 27 of the transponder data such as dust bag type, size and manufacturer are stored. When identifying a suitable type of dust bag for the respective vacuum cleaner 1 then the control electronics 17 can set the suction in the usual way in motion. In the event of non-identification, ie if there is no transponder on the dust bag 5 or if the chip contains 27 data indicating that the inserted bag type is unsuitable for the vacuum cleaner 1, measures can be caused individually or in combination with one another by the control electronics 17. which reduce the dust absorption of the dust bag 5 or reduce parameters dependent on the dust pickup, such as, for example, the driving frequency of change displays. They are
  • the reduction in fan power, either independently of the selected power, or as part of the selected power,
  • a premature activation of the change indicator for the dust bag 5, the engine filter 14 or the exhaust filter 15, and
  • deactivating the device 22 for compressing the anther bag 5 or reducing its function.
In addition, the control electronics 17, the information that an unauthorized or a false dust bag was used 5, in the non-volatile memory 20 from which can read a customer service technician and thereby receives evidence of improper use.

Gemäß einer alternativen, in Figur 4 dargestellten Lösung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kennung 26 als eine optische Markierung (nicht dargestellt) an der Halteplatte 24 ausgebildet ist. Zur Identifikation dieser Markierung ist an der Aufnahme 25 im Staubraum 3 eine Vorrichtung 31 zur optischen Mustererkennung angeordnet, deren Daten von der Steuerelektronik ausgewertet werden. Dabei kann auf der Halteplatte beispielsweise ein Hologramm aufgedruckt oder geklebt sein, das zum einen das Firmenlogo enthält. Dieses wird mit einer Laserdiode belichtet und mit einem CCD-Chip ausgewertet (nicht dargestellt). Durch Vergleich mit Referenzdaten kann die Originalität nachgewiesen werden. Zum anderen können in einem Hologramm auch digitale Daten hinterlegt und ausgelesen werden. In diesen sind dann analog zur Transponder-Lösung Angaben zur Größe, Hersteller u.s.w. gespeichert.According to an alternative solution shown in FIG. 4, it is proposed that the identifier 26 be formed on the holding plate 24 as an optical marking (not shown). To identify this mark, a device 31 for optical pattern recognition is arranged on the receptacle 25 in the dust chamber 3, the data of which are evaluated by the control electronics. In this case, for example, a hologram can be printed or glued on the holding plate, which contains the company logo on the one hand. This is exposed with a laser diode and evaluated with a CCD chip (not shown). By comparison with reference data, originality can be proven. On the other hand, digital data can also be stored and read out in a hologram. In these are analogous to the transponder solution information on size, manufacturer and so on. saved.
