Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bagless vacuum cleaner with a dust container.
  • Bagless vacuum cleaners are known per se. These work with a centrifugal separator and the outer housing of such centrifugal separator, sometimes referred to as a cyclone, acts as a dust container in the bagless vacuum cleaner. In this dust container, the absorbed dust is collected to a large extent. During operation, however, pollute the inner surfaces of the dust container, in particular by there precipitated fine dust.
  • Such bagless vacuum cleaners are thus capable of improvement insofar as a transparent dust container in the course of operation sometimes due to sucked dust, especially fine dust, an unhygienic appearance receives when the dust is reflected on the inner surfaces of the dust container. Conversely, the dust container but also not run intransparent, because then no simple optical level control by the operator is more possible.
  • the dust container to avoid permanent visibility of the dust container located in the dust container and to avoid a concomitant visually unfavorable impression is partly reflective and partly transparent.
  • the dust container should then be reflective when viewed from the outside and in normal lighting conditions and thus opaque.
  • a lighting of the dust container is activated during the suction operation, which illuminates the interior of the dust container, which should therefore be visible from the outside.
  • the DE 20 2010 006 456 U determined.
  • a vacuum cleaner robot is described as a device with a luminous in an environment-dependent color housing.
  • the vacuum robot is to be equipped with a housing which, at least in parts, is optically transmissive and transparent is such that light coupled into the transmissive part propagates there and is visible upon viewing the outer surface.
  • the invention thus presents the problem of providing a further embodiment of a vacuum cleaner in which the content of a dust container enclosed by the vacuum cleaner can be made visible if necessary.
  • a bagless vacuum cleaner with a dust container having the features of patent claim 1. It is in a bagless, a dust container comprehensive vacuum cleaner of the type mentioned, in particular a bagless vacuum cleaner with a dust container, an intermediate filter, an exhaust filter, a suction fan and a controller for the vacuum cleaner, provided that the dust container wholly or partly of a chromogenic material manufactured or coated with such a material and thus can be influenced in its transparency.
  • controllable in its transparency used here and hereinafter means that the material itself changes its optical properties between transparent (transparent or essentially transparent) and non-transparent / opaque or substantially opaque).
  • the transparency of the dust container can be influenced due to its material properties, in a transparent state of the dust container or a transparent state of portions of the dust container further optical level control by the user is possible.
  • In an opaque state disturbs dust that is reflected on the inner surfaces of the dust container, not and otherwise about perceived as unhygienic impression of the dust container or the vacuum cleaner is avoided.
  • the chromogenic material for the dust container or for coating the dust container is a chromogenic functional polymer. Chromogenic material is carefully selected from luminescent material and the effect of electroluminescence (on that in the DE 10 2007 011 457 A proposed approach). In a special form of a chromogenic material in the form of electrochromic material changes when it creates an electrical voltage whose transparency, so its transparency. In electroluminescence, light is emitted when an electrical voltage is applied. The exploitation of the effect of electroluminescence is thus compared to conventional bulbs only an alternative way to illuminate the interior of a dust container, but causes no change in the transparency of the dust container due to its material properties.
  • the transparency of the dust container can be influenced by the approach proposed here, by this in its entirety or at least in sections, which then act like a window or the like, made of a chromogenic material, in particular a chromogenic functional polymer.
  • a chromogenic material in particular a chromogenic functional polymer.
  • the chromogenic material is an electrochromic material and the dust container has electrodes for activating the electrochromic material.
  • Electrochromic material has the advantage that its transparency can be influenced by a current flow and / or an external electromagnetic field. In this way, the transparency of the dust container can be influenced particularly easily and without problems.
  • the dust container can be removed from the vacuum cleaner and the electrodes associated with the dust container can be connected to the vacuum cleaner with a circuit for activating the electrochromic material when the dust container is combined.
  • the dust container continues to be removed for cleaning purposes or the like from the vacuum cleaner.
  • a dust container for a bagless vacuum cleaner is usually kept in a forced operation or a lock in the vacuum cleaner, so that no dust leaks during operation and the suction power can be provided.
  • defined positions for the dust container with respect to the surrounding interior of the vacuum cleaner can be used to provide contact points for contacting the electrodes on an outer surface of the vacuum cleaner.
  • the circuit for activating the electrochromic material can be influenced via an operating element of the vacuum cleaner. Then the user can choose whether the dust container should be transparent or non-transparent.
  • a control element for influencing the transparency of the dust container is an operating device on a handle of the vacuum cleaner into consideration, especially when the bagless vacuum cleaner is designed as a so-called Stabstaubsauger, as a vacuum cleaner or as a table vacuum cleaner.
  • the operating device comprises a switch as a control element for influencing the circuit for activating the electrochromic material
  • a transparency or intransparency of the electrochromic material is associated with the two switching positions of such a switch.
  • the user can thus easily select and change the state of the dust container.
  • a switch is a button or the like into consideration. Upon actuation of a button can be provided that the electrochromic material is activated only during the actuation period of the probe in terms of transparency of the dust container. In a particular embodiment, it is also contemplated that a short-term actuation of the probe is sufficient and the activation of the electrochromic material with respect to a transparency of the dust container is then automatically for a predetermined or predetermined duration.
  • Another embodiment of the bagless vacuum cleaner is characterized in that the activation of the electrochromic material takes place automatically and at predetermined or predefinable points in time, in particular at predetermined or predefinable times for a predetermined or predefinable duration.
  • the switch-on of the vacuum cleaner is considered, because it is sometimes necessary to check whether the intended suction can still be performed or whether previously required a drainage of the dust container is.
  • Alternatively or additionally comes as a date for such activation of the electrochromic material and the time of turning off the bagless vacuum cleaner into consideration, because it may be useful to empty the dust container after use of the vacuum cleaner, if its degree of filling suggests this.
  • the activation of the electrochromic Material during operation of the bagless vacuum cleaner automatically, for example, at equidistant times, done so that the user can judge the suction result based on the progressive degree of filling of the dust container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bagless vacuum cleaner 10 known in the art in one embodiment as a vacuum cleaner.
  • This has a specialist in terminology sometimes referred to as a cyclone 12 centrifugal (dust container 12).
  • This is downstream of an intermediate filter 14 (fine dust filter) and an exhaust filter 16 in the direction of adjusting in operation Saug Kunststoffstroms.

  • the electrodes 22 are in operative connection with the vacuum cleaner control 20 in that the electrodes 22 are part of a circuit not shown in more detail and starting from the vacuum cleaner control 20 or at least can be influenced by the vacuum cleaner control 20.
  • Particularly suitable electrochromic materials are electrochromic polymers in which the transparency of the polymer can be changed by the application of an electric field / voltage, as is spaced apart from one another between two arranged electrodes 22, as in FIG. 2 shown.
  • the electric field or the voltage between the electrodes 22 is switchable by means of the vacuum cleaner control 20 in the sense that the electrodes 22 and the circuit in which they are integrated, are effective for influencing the transparency of the dust container 12.

  • a control element 28 in the form of a push button or a pressure switch with two switch positions, the above-mentioned circuit is closed or a means for closing this circuit is activated upon actuation of the control element 28, so that an electric field is established between the electrodes 22 or an existing electrical Field is turned off.
  • control element 28 When the control element 28 is designed as a button, when it is actuated, a time counter (not shown) can be started, which shuts off the electric field / voltage after the expiration of the counter and thus after a defined period of time to return the dust container 12 back into to set the intransparent state. Thus, it is only possible to look into the dust container 12 for a short time in order, for example, to control the filling level / loading state. If the control element 28 is designed as a switch, there is an easy way for the user to decide whether the dust container 12 should be switched transparent or non-transparent. It is therefore at the discretion of the user which transparency state he chooses.
  • This variant can also be combined with the expiration of a counter or an otherwise suitably defined period of time, so that the dust container 12, for example, each time when switching the switching position of acting as a control element switch 28 is switched to transparent during the expiration of each suitably defined period of time ,
