- the invention relates to a portable Hart vomabsaug réelle for performing the above method.
- Portable Hart vomabsaugowski with a suction nozzle, a suction unit and a arranged in the flow path between the suction nozzle and the suction device are used for suction of hard surfaces, especially for vacuuming tiled walls or floors, and also for removing a water film from a glass surface, in particular from a window pane or a mirror.
- the suction nozzle has at least one wiper lip, which can be pressed against the hard surface and guided along it.
- the suction nozzle is in flow communication with a suction unit, under the action of which a negative pressure can be generated, so that a liquid-air mixture can be sucked in via the suction nozzle into a housing of the hard surface suction device.
- a separation direction which has at least one separation element.
- the separating element is usually arranged in a deposition chamber, which is from the
- Vacuum unit can be subjected to negative pressure.
- liquid can be separated from the aspirated liquid-air mixture.
- the separated liquid can preferably pass through a liquid outlet opening into a dirty liquid tank of the hard surface suction device, which is used in addition to the suction device and which is preferably arranged outside the flow path between the suction nozzle and the suction unit.
- the power supply of the suction unit takes place with the aid of at least one rechargeable battery and for switching on and off of the suction unit, a control device is used.
- WO 2009/086891 AI, WO 2009/086892 AI and WO 2009/086893 AI known and have been proven in practice.
- window panes and mirror surfaces can be effectively cleaned with their help.
- the user guides the hard surface suction device along the window pane or mirror surface, pressing the at least one stripper lip against the window pane or the mirror surface.
- a water film located on the window pane or the mirror surface can be effectively sucked off and transferred into the dirty liquid tank. The latter can be emptied if necessary.
- the control of the suction unit is done by means of the control device.
- the service life of the Hartvidabsaug réelles is limited by the charging capacity of the at least one rechargeable battery and the energy consumption of the suction unit.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned and a Hartvidaug réelle for performing the method such that the energy consumption of the portable Hartvidabsaug réelles can be reduced.
- the object underlying the invention is achieved in that a resulting from the pressing of the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface mechanical stress of Hartvidabsaug réelles is detected and in the presence of this mechanical stress, the suction unit is turned on automatically.
- the detection of the mechanical stress of the Hartvidabsaug réelles when pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface makes it possible to set the suction unit only when an actual water film is to be sucked from the hard surface.
- the duty cycle of the suction unit can be limited, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the Hartvidabsaug réelles.
- the pressing of the at least one flexible wiper lip against the hard surface leads to a reaction force, with which the Hart vomabsaug réelle, in particular the suction nozzle and / or the separator, are acted upon. It can be provided, for example, that the acting reaction force is detected with the aid of at least one force transducer and then the suction unit is set in motion.
- the suction unit is automatically switched off.
- the mechanical stress of the Hartvidabsaug réelles deleted in such a configuration, as soon as the at least one wiper lip is removed from the hard surface. In this case, it is no longer necessary to maintain a suction flow from the suction nozzle to the suction unit, but the suction unit can be turned off.
- the elimination of the mechanical stress of the Hartvidabsaug réelles can be detected in a simple manner by a force transducer, which signals the removal of the reaction force when removing the at least one wiper lip of the hard surface. Due to this signal, the control device can then switch off the suction unit.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle is put into operational readiness in a first process step and then the suction unit is automatically turned on in the presence of a resulting from the pressing of the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface mechanical stress of Hartvidabsaug réelles.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle is only automatically set in motion when the Hartvidabsaug réelle was previously set to operational readiness. If there is still no operational readiness, pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface does not yet result in the suction unit being switched on. If the operational readiness is terminated before the at least one wiper lip is removed from the hard surface, the suction unit is nevertheless switched off.
- the Hart vomunabsaugêt is manually put into operation.
- a main switch can be used, which can be operated by the user.
- the automatic switching on and off of the suction unit then takes place only after previous manual operation of the main switch.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle can also be offset by means of a touch sensor, for example by means of a capacitive sensor, ready for operation, with the help of the touch sensor, the manual gripping of the Hartvidaug réelles is detected by the user.
- the hard surface aspirator includes a handle on which the user grips the portable hard surface aspirator.
- the touch sensor is preferably arranged on the handle or this immediately adjacent, so that it detects the gripping of the handle by the user and then the Hartvidabsaug réelle can be put into operational readiness. If the user sets aside the hard surface suction device, the touch sensor provides a signal that causes the hard surface suction device to stop operating automatically, in which case the suction unit is switched off.
- the Hart vomicoabsaugêt is automatically switched off after a predetermined or predetermined time interval.
- Wiping lip is pressed against the hard surface, even with large hard surfaces, for example, when cleaning large windows, usually less than a minute, since the user then changes its position relative to the hard surface and in this case removes the at least one wiper lip of the hard surface. It may therefore be provided that the predetermined time interval lasts less than one minute, preferably only about half a minute. If the time interval has expired, the suction unit is automatically switched off. It can then be switched on again as soon as it is again pressed against the hard surface and thereby again a mechanical stress of the Hart vomabsaug réelles occurs.
- the suction unit is automatically turned off.
- the idea flows in that after completion of a cleaning process, the user usually turns off the hard surface suction device on a floor space, so that it subsequently stops moving in the room. Lies this situation for a given or predeterminable time interval before, the suction unit can then be turned off automatically.
- the mechanical stress of the Hartvidabsaug réelles when pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface can lead to a relative movement between two components of Hartvidabsaug réelles, in particular to a relative movement between two housing parts of Hartvidabsaug réelles.
- the relative movement between the two components resulting from the pressing of the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface is detected and then the suction unit is switched on automatically.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle may, for example, a first and a second housing part, which are detachably connectable to each other, wherein they are in the connected state slightly, that in the millimeter or Submilli- meter range, relative to each other movable. If the at least one wiper lip is pressed against a hard surface at the beginning of a cleaning process, the two housing parts carry out a slight relative movement with respect to one another. This relative movement can be detected by sensors and serve as a start signal for the suction unit.
- the two relatively movable components in the absence of mechanical stress of the Hartvidabsaug réelles automatically, for example due to the action of a resilient restoring force assume a predetermined position relative to each other, because they perform a renewed relative movement, as soon as the at least one wiper lip is removed from the hard surface, and this relative movement again can serve as a stop signal for the suction unit, so that the suction unit is turned off when the two relatively movable components resume their initial position, they had taken before the start of the cleaning process.
- the relative movement between the two components is conveniently electromechanical, piezoelectric, optical, inductive, and / or capacitive detected.
- An electromechanical detection for example by means of a microswitch or a potentiometer, in particular a Folienpotentiometers, is advantageous.
- an elastic deformation of a component of the Hartvidabsaug réelles is detected in an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention resulting from the pressing of the at least one wiper lip and then the suction unit is turned on automatically.
- the at least one wiper lip is designed to be flexible and is subject to an elastic deformation when pressed against the hard surface. This deformation can be detected to start the suction unit.
- Pressing the at least one wiper lip has elastically deformed against the hard surface, returns to its original shape.
- the elimination of the deformation can serve as a stop signal for the suction unit, so that it is turned off as soon as the detected deformation of the component is eliminated.
- the elastic deformation of the at least one component of the Hart vomabsaug réelles is conveniently electromechanical, piezoelectric, optical, inductive and / or capacitive detected.
- an electro-mechanical detection for example by means of a strain gauge, is advantageous.
- Such strain gauges are produced inexpensively in very large quantities and are known to those skilled in the art. With their help, a mechanical stress can be detected in a structurally simple way be subjected to the Hard direabsaug réelle when pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface.

- the energy consumption of the hard surface suction device can be reduced because the load detection device allows the suction unit to be switched on only if there is to be a suction flow from the suction nozzle to the suction unit. This is the case when the at least one wiper lip is pressed against the hard surface. As long as the at least one wiper lip still occupies a distance from the hard surface is a suction flow is not necessary and the suction unit is therefore not turned on automatically.
- the suction unit is automatically switched off by eliminating the detected mechanical stress by means of the stress detection device.
- the stress detection device detects the omission of the mechanical stress of the hard surface suction device. The mechanical stress is eliminated as soon as the at least one wiper lip is removed from the hard surface. This can, as already explained, serve as a stop signal for the suction unit.
- the suction unit is thus only in operation, as long as the at least one
- Wiper lip is pressed against the hard surface.
- Operational readiness can be offset and the suction unit is automatically switched on and / or off only in the presence of operational readiness by means of the load detection device.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle can be initially put into operational readiness by the user. If the operational readiness is present, the suction unit can then be switched on automatically by means of the load detection device and preferably also automatically switched off again. If the Hartvidabsaug réelle has not been put into operational readiness, an automatic switching on and / or off of the suction unit by means of the stress detection device is not possible. If the operational readiness is terminated by the user, the suction unit is switched off regardless of an output signal of the stress detecting device in each case.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle has a switching device, in particular a main switch, which is manually operated by the user, wherein the Hartvidabsaug réelle is set in operational readiness by the operation of the switching device.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle has a touch sensor, in particular a capacitive touch sensor, wherein the touch sensor grasping the Hart- surface suction device detected by the user and thereby the Hartvidabsaug réelle is set into operational readiness.
- the touch sensor is disposed on a handle of the hard surface suction device or the handle immediately adjacent.
- the handle is conveniently umgreifbar by the user.
- this comprises a timer and the suction unit is automatically switched off after a predetermined or predeterminable time interval.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle in addition to a timer on at least one motion sensor, wherein by means of the at least one motion sensor detects a movement of the hard surface suction in space and the suction unit after a predetermined or predetermined time interval in which the Hartvidaug réelle was not moved, can be switched off automatically.
- a timer and one or more motion sensors it can be ensured by the use of a timer and one or more motion sensors that the suction unit is reliably switched off as soon as the hard surface suction device has not been moved for longer than a predetermined or specifiable time interval. The latter is the case, for example, when the user places the hard surface suction device on a floor space.
- the Hart vomadosaug réelle on a first and a second component which are movable by pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface relative to each other, and the stress detecting device comprises at least one detecting member on, by means of the detection member, the relative movement of the two components can be detected. If the at least one wiper lip is pressed against the hard surface, then a first component, relative to a second component, is subject to a relative movement which is detected by at least one detection member in such an embodiment of the hard surface suction device. A corresponding output signal of the detection member can then serve as a start signal for the suction unit, so that this is turned on as soon as the relative movement has been detected.

- an electromechanical detection of the relative movement is advantageous.
- the at least one detection element can be designed, for example, as a microswitch and / or as a potentiometer, in particular in the form of a film potentiometer.
- the at least one detection member is conveniently arranged between the two relatively movable components, so that at least one of the two components can act directly on the detection member, for example on the switching rod of a microswitch.
- the two components are configured as housing parts of the hard surface suction device.
- a first housing part, the separation device and a second housing part receives the suction unit, wherein the first housing part is movable relative to the second housing part.
- the two housing parts are conveniently releasably connectable to each other, and they can perform a relative movement in the millimeter or submillimeter range in the connected state.
- Hartvidabsaug réelle has at least one by pressing the at least one wiper lip against the hard surface elastically deformable component and that the stress detecting device has at least one deformation sensor, wherein by means of the deformation sensor, the deformation the deformable component is detectable.

- a microswitch 40 is arranged on the side of the handle 12 facing away from the pushbutton 52. If the wiper lip 14 is pressed against the hard surface to clean a hard surface, then the upper housing part 58 makes a slight relative movement in the form of a pivoting movement about the pivot axis 68 relative to the lower housing part 56.

- the operational readiness of the hard surface suction device 10 can be established by the user grasping the handle 12, as this can be detected by the touch sensor 54, which is used as an alternative to the button 52 and is shown in dashed lines in FIG.
- a spring element 69 is arranged, which exerts on the upper housing part 58 a resilient restoring force, under the action of the upper housing part 58 occupies a front pivot position, in which it releases the micro-switch 40. If the wiper lip 14 is pressed during a cleaning process by the user against a hard surface to be cleaned, the upper housing part 58 performs a minor

- the mechanical stress is eliminated by the user
- the suction unit 30 is automatically turned off.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second advantageous embodiment of a hard surface suction device according to the invention, which has a total of the reference numeral 100 is occupied.
- the Hartvidabsaug réelle 100 is designed substantially identical to that described above with reference to Figures 1 to 3 Hartvidabsaug réelle 10.
- the same reference numerals are used in Figures 4 and 5 as in Figures 1 to 3 and with respect to these components to avoid from repetitions to the above explanations.
- the Hart vomabsaug réelle 10 differs from the Hart vomabsaug réelle 100 fact that instead of the microswitch 40, with which a movement of the upper housing part 58 can be detected relative to the housing base 56, a deformation sensor in the form of a strain gauge 102 is used, which is integrated into the flexible wiper lip 14 and detects their elastic deformation during pressing against the hard surface.
- the strain gauge 102 is in electrical connection with the data processing element 78 via a measuring line, not shown in the drawing to achieve a better overview, and provides a measuring signal when the stripper lip 14 is deformed, which is detected by the data processing element 78.
- the upper housing part 58 with the lower housing part 56 is releasably connectable.
- the upper housing part 58 is subject to a slight elastic deformation.
- a strain gage 104 is used which is fixed below the wiper lip 14 on the inside of the housing wall 106 of the housing top 58 facing away from the handle 12 , The strain gauge 104 is shown in dashed lines in Figure 4.
- strain gauge 104 can be detected from the pressing of the wiper lip 14 against a hard surface mechanical stress of Hartvidaug réelles 100, and the output of the strain gauge 104 in the same manner as the output signal of the strain gauge 102 for automatically switching on and off of the suction unit 30th be used.
- the controller 108 of the Hartvidabsaug réelles 100 is shown in Figure 5 in the form of a block diagram.
- An acceleration sensor 82 is omitted in Hart Jerusalemabsaug réelle 100.
- the suction unit 30 is the hard surface suction 100 reliably automatically on and off due to the output signals of the strain gauge 102 and / or the strain gauge 104.
- the wiper lip 14 as well as the upper housing part 58 of an elastic deformation, which is detected by the strain gauges 102, 104, and the removal of the wiper lip 14 from the hard surface eliminates the elastic deformation, this is also detected by the strain gauges 102, 104.
- the suction unit 30 can thus be switched on and off in a simple manner.
- a prerequisite for the automatic switching on and off of the suction unit 30 is also in Hart vomabsaug réelle 100, which has made the user ready for operation, either by means of the button 52 or through Grasping the handle 12, if the touch sensor 54 is used.
- the timer 80 is used in Hart vomabsaug réelle 100 as additional safety shutdown, with which it is ensured that the suction unit 10 is switched off regardless of a possible mechanical stress of the hard surface suction device 100 after a predetermined time interval.
- the suction unit 30 can be automatically switched on and off by the detection of the mechanical stress, which is subject to the Hartvidaug réelle 10 or 100 when pressing the wiper lip 14 against a hard surface.
- the battery 72 is thus discharged only during the actual cleaning process, so that the power consumption of the Hartvidabsaug réelle 10 and 100 can be kept low.
- the hard surface suction devices 10 and 100 are characterized by their easy handling.
