Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a cleaning device, in particular for cleaning a surface, with a drive motor that drives a cleaning tool.
  • the invention relates to a cleaning device and a cleaning tool for carrying out the method.
  • cleaning devices can be used with at least one motor-driven cleaning tool, such as a roller brush or a disc brush.
  • the cleaning tools wear off during their operation. For example, the cleaning bristles of a roller or disc brush are rubbed off over time. Upon reaching a maximum degree of wear, the cleaning tool should be replaced, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the surface to be cleaned and the achievable cleaning result is insufficient.
  • the degree of wear of the cleaning tool is usually visually inspected by the user. However, this is in some cases associated with difficulties, since the cleaning tool is often mounted in a housing of the cleaning device and can not be easily viewed from the outside. For example, in floor cleaning appliances, in particular in scrubber driers, the cleaning tool surrounded by housing and sealing elements.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned above and a cleaning device and a cleaning tool for performing the method, wherein the degree of wear of the cleaning tool can also be determined in the case of replacement of the cleaning tool in a simple manner.
  • This object is achieved in a method of the generic type according to the invention in that stores a wear value in a memory member of the cleaning tool, which corresponds to the present at the time of storage wear rate of the cleaning tool, and that updated this wear value again and again.
  • a cleaning tool which has a storage member.
  • a wear value can be stored, which corresponds to a current degree of wear of the cleaning tool.
  • the stored wear value can be read out.
  • a new wear value that reflects the current wear of the cleaning tool, and this new wear value can then be stored again in the memory member of the cleaning tool. If the cleaning tool replaced by another cleaning tool, which also has a storage member, it can be read from the memory element of the replaced cleaning tool whose current wear value and used for later updating.
  • the determination of the degree of wear of the cleaning tool is very simple even after replacement of the cleaning tool, since the cleaning tool carries a wear value in its storage member which corresponds to the degree of wear of the cleaning tool present at the time of storage. This wear value can then be updated during the further use of the cleaning tool.
  • the wear value stored in the storage element of the cleaning tool is read out.
  • the readout wear value can be displayed on a display device of the cleaning device to the user, for example. Of the Therefore, the user does not necessarily have to visually check the degree of wear of the cleaning tool before starting a cleaning process.
  • the reading out of the stored in the memory element of the cleaning tool wear value when switching on the cleaning device also has the advantage that the user can immediately see if ever a cleaning tool has been mounted. It may happen that a user erroneously assumes that a cleaning tool has already been mounted and that he can start the cleaning process. Instead, however, the cleaning device has not yet been equipped with the appropriate cleaning tool. This can be displayed to the user in a simple manner, since it is not possible, due to the lack of a cleaning tool, to read out its wear value.
  • an identification mark can be recognized, for example, which type of cleaning tool is concerned.
  • operating parameters of the cleaning device for example the rotational speed or the tool contact pressure
  • the horranpressdruck here is the pressure exerted by the cleaning tool during operation of the cleaning device on the surface to be cleaned.
  • the tool contact pressure can be predetermined and varied in an advantageous embodiment of the cleaning device, for example, depending on the type of cleaning tool used.
  • the current wear value of the cleaning tool is determined when switching off the cleaning device, the current wear value of the cleaning tool and stores it in the memory element of the cleaning tool. If the cleaning tool is used again at a later time, then its current wear value can be taken from the storage member.
  • the current wear value is determined at intervals during operation of the cleaning device and stored in the memory element of the cleaning tool.
  • the current wear value is determined at constant time intervals and stored in the memory element. This has the advantage that even in the case of prolonged operation of the cleaning device, a wear value is always stored in the memory element that differs only insignificantly from the actually existing degree of wear. The stored wear value thus corresponds at all times practically to the present degree of wear of the cleaning tool.
  • the degree of wear of the cleaning tool is detected by means of a sensor in order to determine the wear value.
  • the wear value is determined by calculation. It is particularly advantageous if the wear value is determined using operating data of the cleaning device, in particular using operating data of the drive motor.
  • the motor current of the drive motor can be detected in an advantageous embodiment.
  • the motor current and thus the current consumption of the drive motor is dependent on the pressure with which the cleaning tool is pressed against the surface to be cleaned and which roughness the surface has. The greater the contact pressure and the rougher the surface, the greater the motor current and the greater the wear of the cleaning tool.
  • the motor current can therefore be included in the mathematical determination of the wear value, which is a measure of the actual degree of wear of the cleaning tool.
  • the motor current can be detected electrically without the need for mechanical or electromechanical sensors.
  • the degree of wear of the cleaning tool is influenced by the running time of the cleaning tool. The longer the cleaning tool is in operation, the greater is usually its degree of wear. It is therefore advantageous if the running time of the cleaning tool is recorded to determine the wear value. This transit time detection can be done electronically without the need for mechanical or electromechanical sensors.
  • the motor current of the drive motor over the running time of the cleaning tool is integrated to determine the wear value.
  • the value of the thus determined integral forms a wear value which is a measure of the actual degree of wear of the cleaning tool and can be stored in the storage member of the cleaning tool.
  • the product of the current motor current and the length of the time interval is formed at intervals and that these product values are added together.
  • the added product values essentially correspond to the temporal integral of the motor current and form a measure of the degree of wear of the cleaning tool.
  • This measure can be stored in the form of a wear value in the storage member of the cleaning tool. At the beginning of a cleaning process, the last stored wear value can be read from the memory element and based on this wear value, a new wear value can then be determined during further operation of the cleaning tool by continuing the above-mentioned addition or integral formation.
  • the wear value is transmitted wirelessly to the memory element of the cleaning tool and read out wirelessly.
  • a galvanic connection between a control device of the cleaning device and the storage member of the cleaning tool can be omitted. This reduces the susceptibility to interference of the data transmission.
  • the wear value is transmitted to the memory element via radio and also read out via radio.
  • the cleaning tool can have a transponder, that is to say a radio communication link which receives and answers incoming signals.
  • the transponder comprises the memory element. It is favorable if the transponder also has a control logic.
  • it comprises a transmitting and receiving antenna, for example an antenna coil.
  • the control device of the cleaning device may have a transponder associated write / read device, with the aid of which the memory element can be read out and written wirelessly.
  • the transponder is equipped with its own power source.
  • Combinations of a transponder and a read / write device are generally known to the person skilled in the art by the term RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
  • the current wear value is compared with a predetermined wear value and depending on the result of the comparison, an operating function of the cleaning device is triggered.
  • the predetermined wear value may be, for example, a maximum value which, if possible, should not be exceeded.
  • a specific reaction that is to say a specific operating function, can be triggered.
  • a user of the cleaning device indicates the reaching or exceeding of a predetermined degree of wear.
  • At least one operating parameter of the cleaning device is controlled as a function of the result of the comparison between the current wear value and the predetermined wear value.
  • the tool pressure and / or the speed of the cleaning tool and / or the driving speed of the cleaning device can be made dependent inter alia on the size of the current wear value in comparison with the predetermined wear value. If the current wear value exceeds the predetermined wear value, then, for example, the tool contact pressure or the rotational speed can be reduced.
  • the user can acknowledge the display and continue the cleaning process.
  • the user can thereby, for example, finish a cleaning process before he exchanges the worn cleaning tool.
  • the user can be displayed again the exceeding of the wear value, wherein the user can then acknowledge this display again. It is advantageous if the exceeding of the predetermined wear value is displayed in ever shorter time intervals, so that the user must acknowledge the display in ever shorter time intervals. The risk that it will damage the cleaning tool or the surface to be cleaned is thereby reduced.
  • each cleaning tool Preferably stores the predetermined wear value in the memory element of the cleaning tool.
  • each cleaning tool can be given a specific wear value in a simple manner.
  • the present invention is also based on the object to provide a cleaning device for performing the method mentioned above.
  • This object is achieved by a cleaning device having a drive motor and at least one of The cleaning tool has a writable and readable memory element for storing a wear rate corresponding to the cleaning tool corresponding wear value and wherein using the last stored Abmel value and operating data of the cleaning device a current wear value can be determined and stored in the memory element of the cleaning tool.
  • the cleaning tool thus carries with it a storage member in which a wear value corresponding to the degree of wear of the cleaning tool is stored. With each use, the cleaning tool continues to wear, that is, the actual degree of wear changes. To account for this change, a new amount of wear can be determined and stored in the memory. The old wear value can be overwritten here. To determine the new wear value, the previously stored wear value and operating data of the cleaning device, in particular of the drive motor, can be used.
  • the storage member of the cleaning tool is wirelessly writable and readable.
  • the cleaning tool has a transponder which comprises the storage member.
  • the transponder may be associated with a read / write device of the cleaning tool for reading and writing to the memory element.
  • the read / write device can be connected to a control device of the cleaning tool.
  • the motor current of the drive motor and the running time of the cleaning tool can be detected and the motor current can be integrated over the term of the cleaning tool.
  • this can be calculated in a simple manner, a wear value corresponding to an actual degree of wear of the cleaning tool.
  • the wear value previously stored in the storage member of the cleaning tool can be automatically updated and the updated wear value can be stored automatically in the storage member of the cleaning tool. This can ensure that after a cleaning process in the storage member of the cleaning tool, a wear value is stored, which corresponds to the present after the cleaning process degree of wear of the cleaning tool. If the cleaning tool is put back into operation at a later time, the last stored wear value can be read out and can form the basis for updating the wear value.
  • the present invention is also based on the object of providing a cleaning tool for carrying out the method mentioned above.
  • This object is achieved by a cleaning tool having a storage member in which a cleaning tool uniquely identifying identification mark is stored and in which a current degree of wear of the cleaning tool corresponding wear value can be stored.
  • the cleaning tool can be uniquely identified by reading the identification mark and a wear value corresponding to the current degree of wear of the cleaning tool can be stored in its memory element. If the cleaning tool is used in a cleaning device, the identification mark and the wear value can be read out.
