Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a cleaning device, in particular a floor cleaning device having a control device and at least one cleaning element for cleaning a surface, wherein the cleaning element has a local memory element and the control device comprises a control memory element and wherein the control device is connected to a reading device for Reading the local memory element.
- the invention relates to a cleaning device for carrying out the method.
- cleaning devices For cleaning a surface, in particular a bottom surface, cleaning devices are used which have at least one cleaning element.
- the cleaning element may, for example, in the form of a sweeping or
- Scrub brush be configured or in the form of a cleaning pads or, for example, in the form of a suction lip, by means of which liquid can be absorbed by the surface to be cleaned.
- the control of the cleaning device is carried out by means of a control device.
- the control device may, for example, be connected to a motor, for example an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, which drives the at least one cleaning element.
- At least one cleaning element of the cleaning device comprises a storage element that can be read by an associated reading device.
- the reader is in communication with the controller. This makes it possible to read out data stored in the local memory element with the aid of the reading device and to transmit it to the control device.
- DE 10 2007 050351 AI it is proposed in this connection to store data in the local memory element which identify a cleaning tool.
- the memory element can be integrated in a transponder, ie in a radio communication link, which receives and answers incoming signals.
- the at least one cleaning element of the cleaning device is usually replaceable, since it is subject to wear during operation of the cleaning device and therefore wears off over time. It must then be replaced by a new cleaning element of the same type. Frequently, different cleaning elements can be used in a cleaning device. However, the user must be careful that he only uses cleaning elements that are actually suitable for the particular cleaning device. If the user uses an unsuitable cleaning element, this can lead to a disruption of the cleaning device or even to an unsatisfactory cleaning result. There is also the danger that the use of an unsuitable cleaning element will damage the surface to be cleaned.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a method for operating a cleaning device of the type mentioned above and a cleaning device for performing the method, in which the risk is reduced that the user unintentionally uses an inappropriate cleaning element.
- This object is achieved in a method of the generic type according to the invention in that one deposits in the local memory element the type of cleaning element characterizing characteristics that you read in the period from startup of the cleaning device to the beginning of the cleaning action of the cleaning element and evaluates.
- characteristic data which characterize the type of cleaning element, that is to say the type of cleaning element, are stored in the local storage element of the cleaning element. If the cleaning device is set in motion, the characteristics are read out of the local storage element of the cleaning element, so that they are available to the control device of the cleaning device. The characteristics are then evaluated. The reading of the characteristic data takes place in the period that begins with the startup of the cleaning device and ends with the beginning of the actual cleaning action of the cleaning element.
- the local storage element of the at least one cleaning element is read out directly when the cleaning device is started up.
- the startup of the cleaning device and the beginning of the actual cleaning action of the cleaning element take place sequentially in time, so that the local memory element does not have to be read out simultaneously with the startup of the cleaning device in each case.
- the readout process should be completed until the beginning of the actual cleaning files of the cleaning element, because this gives the possibility to delay the start of the cleaning action or even completely stop, if the evaluation of the read characteristic data comes to the conclusion that the cleaning element for the operation the cleaning tool is not suitable.
- the at least one cleaning element is held adjustably in height on a support structure of the cleaning device.
- a cleaning brush in particular a scrub brush, or a cleaning pad can be raised and lowered vertically. The beginning of the actual cleaning action then takes place only after the lowering of the cleaning element. The reading of the characteristic data of the cleaning element can then take place, for example, until the time at which the cleaning element assumes its lowered position.
- the at least one cleaning element is often held rotatably and can be rotated about its axis of rotation by means of a drive motor. With such It is advantageous if the cleaning element is rotated about its axis of rotation during readout of the characteristic data, because this ensures that the local storage element which frequently extends over only a partial area of the circumference of the cleaning element enters the detection area of the reading device through the rotation of the cleaning element and can be read out reliably.
- the read-out characteristic data are compared with information stored in the control memory element and the cleaning device is controlled as a function of the result of the comparison. If the comparison leads to the result that the read-out characteristic data do not coincide with information stored in the control memory element, then, for example, the beginning of the actual cleaning action of the cleaning element can be automatically prevented by the control device.
- information corresponding to the read-out characteristic data can be displayed on a display device of the cleaning appliance.
- a warning message may also be displayed if the cleaning element is to be used only for special cleaning operations.
- different scrubbing brushes can be used in scrubber-driers.
- a first type of brush can have a very abrasive effect and serve for the stripping of floor coverings.
- the cleaning brush Korundp be incorporated. But it can also be used very soft cleaning brushes for gentle cleaning of certain floor coverings.
- the user when starting the cleaning device, at the latest at the beginning of the actual cleaning action of the cleaning element, the type of cleaning element used or at least a warning directed to the display device displayed, the user can stop the actual cleaning action in time before, due to a for the intended cleaning process unsuitable cleaning brush the floor surface is damaged or only an insufficient cleaning result can be achieved.
- the information displayed on the display device is stored together with the time of the display in the control memory element.
- the control storage member may be read out at a later time to check whether the information corresponding to the retrieved characteristics has actually been displayed to the user. This gives, for example, the possibility to check in the event of a complaint whether the cleaning device is poorly designed or whether there was a fault in the operation of the cleaning device.
- the part number of the cleaning element specified by the manufacturer is deposited. Due to the part number of the cleaning element whose type is clearly defined. The part number is specified during the production of the cleaning element and deposited in its local storage element.
- the cleaning element In a particularly preferred embodiment of the method is deposited to characterize the type of cleaning element, the cleaning element individually identifying identification number.
- the use of an identification number has the advantage that not only the type of cleaning element can be detected but it can be detected, the individual cleaning element. This in turn gives the opportunity to duration of a particular cleaning element to determine. The duration of use in turn can represent a measure of the wear of the cleaning element, so that the user can be signaled when reaching a predetermined degree of wear that the cleaning element should be replaced.
- the type of cleaning element can be characterized in a simple manner.
- the cleaning element can be characterized for example by the required contact pressure which is to be exerted on the cleaning element during the cleaning action and / or by the rotational speed of the cleaning element.
- the control device can determine the type of cleaning element and, for example, judge whether the cleaning element is suitable for the specific cleaning device.
- the read-out characteristic data are compared with permissible characteristics stored in the control memory element.
- characteristic values of cleaning elements that are permissible for the respective cleaning device can be stored by the user or by the user. These permissible characteristic data can then be compared with the characteristics of the cleaning element actually used when the cleaning device is started.
- the evaluation of the read characteristic data is not always associated with a comparison with permissible characteristic data. It can also be seen that one processes the read characteristic data with the aid of a predetermined calculation algorithm and then uses the result of the processing for further evaluation.
- the method according to the invention assigns the read characteristic data for proper operation of the cleaning element required operating parameters, and one compares these required operating parameters with the currently available operating parameters of the cleaning device. If the current operating parameters of the cleaning device, for example, the preselected contact pressure or the rotational speed or, for example, the dosage of a cleaning agent or a preselected water consumption do not match the operating parameters that are required for proper operation of the cleaning element, this can be signaled to the user, in particular On a display device of the cleaning device, a corresponding warning message are displayed.
- the operating parameters of the cleaning device are set as a function of the read characteristic data. This makes it possible to adapt the operating parameters of the cleaning device automatically to the operating parameters required for the proper operation of the cleaning element used. For example, due to the read-out characteristics of the contact pressure, the speed, water consumption, the dosage of a detergent or any other operating parameters are automatically adapted by the control device to the required operating parameters resulting from the read when starting the cleaning device characteristics of the cleaning element.
- control memory element can be read out, for example, by the maintenance personnel or even by the user himself, so that it can be easily determined at what time which type of cleaning element was used in the cleaning device. In particular, in the case of a complaint, it is advantageous if it can be subsequently determined at what time which cleaning element was used.
- Cleaning devices are known in which users can be assigned different user authorizations. This gives, for example, the possibility of assigning untrained auxiliary staff a different authorization than trained specialist personnel.
- the different user authorizations allow the respective user different usage measures, untrained support staff can thereby perform only certain user actions, whereas trained personnel a variety of usage measures is allowed.
- the usage authorization data may include, for example, whether or not the respective user may use a certain type of cleaning elements.
- the control device can detect the type of cleaning element.
- the control device can then check whether the respective user may actually use the cleaning element. Is this If this is not the case, a corresponding indication can be displayed on a display device of the cleaning device and / or the beginning of the actual cleaning action can be prevented.
- the cleaning elements are usually subject to wear and must therefore be replaced after some time. For this purpose, often new cleaning elements must be ordered from a manufacturer or distributor.
- the ordering process is simplified in that the order data of the cleaning element corresponding to the read-out characteristic data are displayed on a display device of the cleaning device.
- the order data may in particular include an order number for the respective cleaning element, so that the order number can be displayed on the display device. The user can therefore read the order number of the cleaning element on the display device and order a new cleaning element if necessary.
- the order data is transmitted via a telecommunication device of the cleaning device to an order acceptance device.
- a telecommunication device for example, a mobile phone integrated into the cleaning device can be used, with the aid of which the order data can be transmitted wirelessly to an order acceptance device of a manufacturer or distributor of the cleaning element.

- the characteristics read out at the start of the scrubber 10 are stored together with the time of the readout. These data can be read out again at a later date, especially in the event of a complaint.
- the scrubbing rollers 26, 28 as well as the suction lip 44 are subject to wear. Over time, they must therefore be replaced.
- corresponding order data in particular order numbers, can be displayed on the monitor 52 for the read-out characteristic data.
- the user can then trigger on the control panel 58 by entering a corresponding control command an ordering process in which by means of the mobile phone 58, the order data via the Internet 60 to the order receiving and monitoring device 62 are transmitted.
- the read characteristic data can also be transmitted directly to the order acceptance and monitoring device 62. This gives the possibility of scrubbing rollers 26, 28 currently being used in scrubber-drier 10, as well as the suction lip 44 and the batteries 64, 66 used, as well as the cleaning agent container 36 contained in the holder 38 in the context of remote maintenance and To record remote inspection.
- the read-out of the above-described characteristic data takes place each time the scrubber 10 is started, and by the subsequent verification of the characteristics can be ensured in a simple manner that the scrubbing rollers 26, 28 used as well as the used suction lip 44th are permissible for the operation of the scrubber-drier 10 and that the operating parameters of the scrubber-drier 10 correspond to the operating parameters required for the proper operation of the scrub rollers 26, 28 and the suction lip 44.
- the characteristics each time the scrubber 10 is started, it is ensured that the actual cleaning action begins only when the user is authorized to use the scrub rollers 26, 28 and the suction lip 44.
