Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner dust, and more particularly the nozzle and the control unit of the vacuum cleaner.
  • a vacuum cleaner comprising several modes of operation.
  • the nozzle is equipped with a device for identifying the surface to be cleaned.
  • the nozzle comprises an RFID reader.
  • the control unit of the vacuum cleaner adjusts the power delivered to the motor of the vacuum cleaner.
  • This device only works if a radio frequency identification tag is present on the surface to be cleaned. Moreover, during a change of surface to be cleaned, the corresponding label must be read by the nozzle so that the power of the vacuum cleaner is properly adjusted.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art by proposing a vacuum cleaner whose operation automatically adapts according to its mode of use.
  • a vacuum cleaner comprising a housing and a motor-fan intended to create a vacuum in a suction tube whose end is equipped with a nozzle, the housing comprising a control unit capable of operating the motorcycle. fan according to at least two modes, characterized in that the vacuum cleaner comprises means for detecting the presence of the nozzle and in that the control unit activates a first mode of operation when the nozzle is detected and a second mode of operation when the nozzle is not detected.
  • the power of the vacuum cleaner is always adapted according to the nozzle fitted to the vacuum cleaner.
  • the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner 1 equipped with its accessory chain 2.
  • the accessory chain 2 comprises, in a manner known per se, a hose 14, one end of which is connected to the vacuum cleaner and the other end to a butt 15 enabling a user to manipulate the accessory chain 2.
  • the stick 15 is also connected to a connecting tube 12 whose end is equipped with a nozzle 10.
  • the nozzle is rectangular.
  • the present invention is not limited to this rectangular shape, and can be implemented for example on a nozzle of triangular shape.
  • the vacuum cleaner has in particular a motor-fan 24 capable of creating a flow of air intake into the tube and into the nozzle.
  • the vacuum cleaner also comprises a waste filtration device (not shown) making it possible to retain the waste sucked into the housing of the vacuum cleaner 1.
  • This filtration device may comprise either a bag or a cyclone separating device with one or more stages.
  • the housing of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with wheels 21, 23 to move the vacuum cleaner 1.
  • the housing also comprises an air outlet through which the air previously disposed of waste by the filtration device is evacuated.
  • the electric power delivered to the fan motor is controlled by an electronic control unit 25.
  • control unit makes it possible to establish at least two modes of operation of the motor-fan.
  • Each mode of operation corresponds to a distinct electric power delivered to the fan motor.
  • One of the operating modes corresponds to the operation according to the maximum power of the fan motor.
  • the control unit comprises a detection means 26 for the presence of the nozzle 10 on the accessory chain 2.
  • the detection means comprises a wireless device capable of detecting a corresponding beacon on the nozzle.
  • the detection means comprises a radio frequency identification tag reader 26.
  • the nozzle 10 is equipped with a radio frequency identification tag 16 (RFID Tag).
  • RFID Tag radio frequency identification tag
  • the radio frequency tag reader provides a signal corresponding to the presence of the nozzle 10 to the control unit 25 of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the control unit 25 Upon receipt of this signal, the control unit 25 triggers the operation of the motor fan 24 according to a particular mode.
  • the power delivered to the motor-fan 24 by the control unit 25, when the nozzle 10 is detected, is less than the maximum power.
  • the control unit delivers the maximum power to the fan motor 24.
  • the detection means comprises a electrical circuit along the accessory chain 2 connected to the control unit 25.
  • the nozzle 10 closes the electrical circuit when connected to the accessory chain 2.
  • the voltage of the electrical circuit is zero which constitutes for the control unit 25 the absence signal of the nozzle 10 triggering the corresponding mode of operation.
  • the control unit 25 then triggers another mode of operation.
  • control unit also comprises identification means of the nozzle.
  • the control unit comprises a mode of operation by type of nozzle.
  • the control unit not only makes it possible to adjust the operation of the motor-fan according to the presence or absence of the nozzle, but also according to the type of nozzle. Indeed, the optimal operation of a nozzle suitable for a smooth floor does not require the same suction power as a nozzle suitable for carpet or a turbo brush.
  • the radiofrequency identification tag 16 of the nozzle 10 comprises a characteristic identifier of the nozzle.
  • the radio frequency identification tag reader 26 is therefore able to recognize the type of nozzle according to the identifier.
  • the nozzle When detection of the presence of the nozzle is performed via an electrical circuit along the accessory chain, the nozzle comprises an electronic component, such as a resistor, mounted in series on the electrical circuit. The value of the resistance is different from one type of nozzle to another. When a nozzle is connected, the value of the voltage measured by the control unit in the electrical circuit is then different from one nozzle to another.
  • an electronic component such as a resistor
  • the vacuum cleaner operates as follows.
  • the detection means 26 transmit a signal representative of the presence or absence of the nozzle 10 to the control unit 25.
  • the power corresponding to the signal is delivered to the fan motor 24.
  • the power corresponding to the optimal operation of this nozzle is delivered to the motor-fan 24.
  • the maximum power is delivered to the fan motor.
  • the user can use the butt 15 alone to suck bulky waste of difficult access.
  • the vacuum cleaner 1 also comprises the identification means of the nozzle 10, the power delivered to the motor-fan 24 is adapted to the nozzle 10 connected to the accessory chain.
  • the electrical energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner is reduced to just what is necessary.
  • the maximum power of the motor-fan remains available for very punctual uses without the nozzle 10.
