Abstract

Verfahren zum Betreiben eines mit einem Sauggebläse (4) ausgestatteten Staubsaugers (1), bei welchem die Betriebsdauer (t) des Sauggebläses (4) erfasst wird, wobei die Leistung des Sauggebläses (4) in Abhängigkeit von der erfassten Betriebsdauer (t) erhöht wird. Bevorzugt wird dem Benutzer das Erreichen eines Schwellenwerts (t1, t1', t1", t2) für die Betriebsdauer (t) durch ein Signal mitgeteilt. Ein geeigneter Staubsauger weist ein Zeitglied (13) zur Erfassung der Betriebsdauer (t) auf, wobei das Sauggebläse (4) mit einer Leistungssteuerung (15) ausgestattet ist, welche mit dem Zeitglied (13) in Wirkzusammenhang steht.Method for operating a vacuum cleaner (1) equipped with a suction fan (4), in which the operating time (t) of the suction fan (4) is detected, wherein the power of the suction fan (4) is increased as a function of the detected operating time (t) , Preferably, the user is notified of reaching a threshold value (t1, t1 ', t1 ", t2) for the operating time (t) by means of a signal A suitable vacuum cleaner has a timer (13) for detecting the operating time (t) Suction fan (4) is equipped with a power control (15) which is in operative connection with the timer (13).

Dadurch wird mit geringem apparativen Aufwand der sich mit füllender Abscheideeinrichtung erhöhende Druckverlust im Strömungskanal zwischen Saugstutzen und Saugstutzen zuverlässig kompensiert, so dass sich die Saugleistung des Staubsaugers nicht oder nicht nennenswert verringert. Insbesondere sind zu diesem Zweck keine Druck- oder Druckdifferenzmessung und somit auch kein Drucksensor erforderlich. Weiterhin kann ein kleinerer Prozessor eingesetzt und auf den Einsatz eines Potentiometers gegebenenfalls verzichtet werden. Die Eigenschaften des zu saugenden Untergrunds, beispielsweise Nachgiebigkeit und Dichtigkeit eines Teppichbodens, haben auf das Verfahren zudem keinen Einfluss.

Figure imgaf001
As a result, the pressure loss in the flow channel between the suction nozzle and the suction nozzle, which increases with filling separator, is reliably compensated for with little outlay on equipment, so that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner does not decrease significantly or not appreciably. In particular, no pressure or pressure difference measurement and thus no pressure sensor are required for this purpose. Furthermore, a smaller processor can be used and the use of a potentiometer may be dispensed with. The properties of the substrate to be sucked, for example, compliance and tightness of a carpet, have no influence on the process also.
